Chapter 111: Born in Flames, Grown in Flames.
In the face of the raging fire, Tianyou tried to rush in several times but failed. The high temperature generated by the fierce burning of the trees in the courtyard of the whole row of houses is not comparable to the firewood pile at the bonfire party, and the high temperature is already difficult to walk an inch after a dozen meters, and the skin exposed to the air will have a violent burning sensation, and even the hair begins to curl.
"Calm down. Looking at Tianyou, who was a little out of control, Bai Qi pressed his shoulder and reminded him.
Tianyou looked at Bai Qi with a blank expression, and finally calmed down. Seeing that he was finally no longer so excited, Bai Qi wanted to say something to comfort him, but Tianyou, who had calmed down, soon changed his expression again. Bai Qi was about to open his mouth, but found that Tianyou actually ran out.
Thinking that Tianyou couldn't stand the stimulation and wanted to do something stupid, Bai Qi hurriedly followed, only to find that Tianyou actually just circled around the burning courtyard and returned to the courtyard.
The room that Bai Qi arranged for Tianyou was located in a separate courtyard, surrounded by a brick and stone courtyard wall, and in addition to these things in the courtyard, there were basically only a small number of flower beds outside, and the surroundings were relatively empty.
After observing the surrounding environment, Tianyou immediately said to Bai Qi: "Bai Shibo, I have a request. ”
"You say, if you can do it, I will help you. Bai Qi thought that Tianyou couldn't think about it, so now he plans to follow him first, at least calm down his emotions first.
Tianyou didn't know what Bai Qi was thinking, and he immediately said his request after receiving an affirmative answer.
"What? You want me to evacuate all the firefighters?"
Tianyou nodded affirmatively. "Yes, I want you to evacuate all the people out of the yard and sprinkle water on the courtyard walls and the surrounding area, as long as the fire doesn't spread, and leave the fire in this yard alone. ”
Bai Qi looked at Tianyou suspiciously, trying to find out if this kid was stimulated and caused brain problems, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't seem to find any problems, and he felt that Tianyou's mood had completely returned to normal, and the previous anxiety had completely disappeared. This huge contrast made Bai Qi very puzzled, but it was not easy to ask directly, for fear of stimulating him again.
Looking at the courtyard that had basically no rescue value, Bai Qi finally decided to follow Tianyou for the time being, and arranged everyone outside the courtyard, anyway, even if the fire here is extinguished now, this courtyard will be rebuilt in its entirety.
When the servants of the White Mansion heard that the courtyard had been abandoned, they thought that Bai Qi was worried about their safety, so they didn't suspect anything, but they retreated outside the courtyard while being moved.
"Everyone is out, let's go outside too?" Bai Qi saw that Tianyou was still standing at the gate of the courtyard, afraid that something would happen to him, so he kindly reminded him.
Tianyou didn't move at all, but said to Bai Qi: "Bai Shibo, please let the people around you not approach the courtyard." ”
Bai Qi glanced at Tianyou suspiciously, and then seemed to suddenly think of something. I saw him seal with one hand, drawing a magic circle in the air, and then a little in the middle, the magic circle quickly shrank, as if it was glued to the white fingertips. Bai Qi kept moving, and pressed the magic circle that had shrunk his fingertips to the size of his eyes on the center of his eyebrows.
After completing this series of actions, Bai Qi's eyes, which had been closed after drawing the circle, suddenly opened again, and at this time, his eyes were like two large light bulbs, emitting a cold white light, even the flames in front of him could not cover this light.
The white gaze with two searchlights on his face swept towards the fire, and then quickly locked onto the position. "I said, okay, why did you suddenly go out of the water? Seeing the situation in the flames, Bai Qi was finally relieved.
"Did you already know?" Bai Qi asked, turning his head to the doctor.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have been so worried. Tianyou said: "Bai Shibo, can you see what kind of monster Moon Shadow's body is? When I found her, she was still a black egg, and when she hatched, she was what she is now, and there was no body at all. ”
Bai Qi shook his head and said: "The body of the monster needs to be based on its habits and characteristics, and then speculate according to the understanding of the monster, your demon pet has not fully shown its strength, and it is possible to know its body unless she tells you herself, or you see it with your own eyes." But now at least one thing is certain, she must be a fire-attribute monster. Normal monsters will have different degrees of demonic power out of control when they advance, so wild monsters will generally find a secluded place and wait quietly for advancement before advancing. This demon pet of yours is too young to understand this, a fire-based monster, and he actually advanced in the house. Pity my house!"
As soon as he heard Bai Qi crying about the house, Tianyou immediately felt extremely embarrassed. People kindly invited themselves to live at home, and they also gave themselves one-on-one counseling, but they only stayed for one night and ordered other people's houses, which is a bit unreasonable. "Shi Bo...... I ......"
"Hahahaha, do you really think I care about these houses? The old man is not as poor as you think. ”
"Whether you care or not, the house was damaged because of my pet, and I deserve compensation, that's the reason. When the fire is extinguished, you ask the housekeeper to count the losses and tell me, and I will pay for the repairs. ”
"You kid. Am I missing you that money?"
"It's not a matter of the same, that's the truth. You gave me guidance and let me stay, that is your kindness, I can accept it, but the house is because I burned down, this is my responsibility, I have to bear it. ”
Bai Qi saw that Tianyou was so resolute, and after thinking about it, he no longer insisted. "Oh well. I will let the housekeeper inform you of the reconstruction costs, you can pay it back whenever you want, if you lack money, it doesn't matter if you have ten or eight years later, I still have a job in this life, and you can't rot this account. ”
"I shouldn't have that time. Tianyou said: "The gold that the ninth princess owes me hasn't been given yet, even if it is not enough to repair your courtyard, it should not be too bad." ”
In these years, the purchasing power of gold is still quite strong, and the money that Ying Ying owes Tianyou is indeed enough to build another yard. The houses in the royal city are expensive, and the expensive ones are the land, and the construction cost is actually like that. Some wood, some labor, really doesn't cost a lot of money. The real big head is the decorations in the room, those porcelain, calligraphy and so on, then it is not easy to price. Good thing it's a guest room and not a lot of decorations.
The wood in the yard rose up quickly and extinguished quickly, and when no one controlled the fire, the flames quickly burned everything that could be burned, and as the flames gradually became smaller, Bai Qi and Tianyou both discovered a phenomenon that they had not paid attention to before.
Before, because the fire was too big, it was impossible to see the situation in the middle, but now as the fire gradually weakened, a small flame vortex gradually revealed. The flames in the entire fire field seemed to be drawn by this whirlpool, and those who were close were directly sucked into the whirlpool, and those who were far away were obviously inclined in the direction of the whirlpool. And under the divine vision, a large amount of red aura can be seen frantically gathering towards the center of the whirlpool.
"It's ...... Mana Channel?" Bai Qi looked at the red vortex in the field in surprise, stunned.
The normal mana channel is not used in this way, but is used by one or several cultivators with strength above the Dust Realm, connecting multiple cultivators in series, allowing everyone to share their spiritual power, and allowing everyone's spiritual power to exert its maximum effectiveness through reasonable distribution.
However, although the mana channel is usually used to transmit balance mana between different cultivators, the essence of this spell is actually the remote transmission of aura, then, according to this theory, the mana channel can actually be completely locked on a certain person's body, as long as there is a provider and absorber of aura, the mana channel can be established, as for whether the provider and receiver are people, this seems to really matter.
Now there is a sea of fire around, so there must be a large amount of fire-based aura gathered in this courtyard. This high concentration of fire-based aura can become the aura provider of the mana channel, and the little demon in the center of the vortex who is still buried in the flames must become the receiver. The aura in the courtyard was absorbed and gathered by the mana channel, and then absorbed by the demon pet of Tianyou, and this process was continuous, so the flow of aura formed a vortex-like effect, continuously inhaling the surrounding flames into the central area.
Tianyou was a little puzzled when he heard the mana passage, but the name was quite superficial, and even if he heard it for the first time, he could roughly understand its meaning. In short, Tianyou also found out that Moon Shadow was absorbing flames, and he could see it more clearly than Bai Qi. After all, Bai Qi relied on spells to see, and he could have "seen" the flow of aura.
"You're lucky to be a kid when you run into me. After realizing the significance of the mana passage, Bai Qi suddenly said a word without a word and turned around and ran out, and then called the housekeeper and asked him to quickly bring someone to transport firewood.
"What??" the butler was also stunned when he heard such a strange order. Who heard that there was a fire in the house, and instead of rushing to put out the fire, they asked for firewood?
"Yes, firewood. Don't ask, go now. ”
So a group of servants began to carry firewood to this side, but Bai Qi did not let them into the courtyard, but piled it up outside the courtyard gate.
Tianyou didn't know what Bai Qi was doing when he went out before, but when he saw the firewood sent by a group of servants, he suddenly reacted, so he hurriedly moved inside.
Seeing that Tianyou consciously began to transport firewood, Bai Qi nodded and said, "You kid is not too stupid." ”
Tianyou asked Bai Qi for advice while busy moving firewood inside: "Do all demon pets have to provide a large amount of the same aura?"
"Not really. Bai Qi said: "When the monster advances, it is like a child growing a body, eating well, the child will inevitably grow taller and stronger than his peers, and if he keeps eating grass roots and bark, he will have yellow muscles, short and small, and even have a deformed body." Monsters live in this world every day, and the aura they naturally absorb is enough to meet their basic needs, so even if they don't provide additional aura, it won't affect their advancement. But just like the child who eats grass roots and bark every day, the growth of such a monster in the future will definitely not be too high. On the other hand, if a large amount of aura is provided when it advances, the growth of the monster will develop in the optimal way, and the future will be limitless.
You have lived in Qingyuan Mountain for all these years, so you should know something about the situation of wild monsters. Is there a place in the mountains where there are often multiple monsters fighting each other?"
Tianyou nodded: "I've seen a few similar places before. ”
"That's where the spirit cave is, and the surrounding area must be highly enriched with one or several kinds of aura, so the demons who want to advance will desperately fight for this place, hoping to complete the advancement in this area, which is why you often find monsters fighting each other here. ”
"I said that the monsters in the mountains are all piled up, some places are obviously crowded, but there are still a large number of monsters who want to squeeze in, and they would rather fight to the death with other monsters than go to live in those places where there are no monsters, it turns out that they are all competing for aura. ”
When Bai Qi heard this, he suddenly added: "Actually, people are the same. In addition to the mountains that had been established by the various factions for a long time, there were also scattered areas that had not yet been determined, and there were often clashes between sects in these places in order to seize control of these areas. ”
"These places are also places where spiritual energy is abundant?"
White nods. "That's right. Some of these places are blessed lands, and the aura is highly enriched, and cultivating in them can greatly increase the speed of cultivation. If the concentration of aura in a certain place is high enough, it can even help cultivators break through the shackles and complete the rank ascension. Of course, what these sects are fighting for is not necessarily the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, some are intermittent spiritual vein outbreak points, and some are the growth areas of Heavenly and Earth Treasures, in short, they are all places that are beneficial to cultivation. ”
"Then don't the major sects have their own mountains with caves and blessed lands, or are there a lot of cultivators, and there are not enough points?"
"What is enough, what is not enough?" Bai Qi asked rhetorically: "The aura between heaven and earth is immeasurable, but the total amount of aura in a place is always constant. The high enrichment of aura in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land is often due to the fact that there is a suitable terrain near the Spirit Vein, which blocks the Spiritual Qi within a certain range, but the Spiritual Qi produced by the Spirit Vein has a certain speed, if the absorption speed exceeds the speed generated by the Spirit Vein, the concentration of the Spiritual Qi in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land will continue to decline, although as long as it is not used for a period of time, the concentration will increase again, but what if you need to cultivate during this time?"
"I see. This aura is like money. You can live with a silver bar a month, you can live with a gold bar a month, but no one is too rich, and if you can live a life of a hundred pieces of gold a month, then why should you live a life of one silver bar a month?"
"Well, that's it. After Bai Qi finished speaking, he brought the topic back. "Your demon pet looks like an extraordinary demon, such a good foundation can't be wasted, every time you advance in the future, you must find enough aura support for it, and make sure that it can fully grow. With the help of this demon, even if your own cultivation is low in the future, you don't have to be afraid of who will go. ”
"I made a note of it, and I will take care of it in the future. Tianyou said and brought in a large bundle of firewood from outside and threw it into the fire.
Now the surrounding fires have basically been extinguished, and what is still burning is the firewood that Tianyou just moved, although these flames are far less than before, but they are enough to support the absorption of the whirlpool. According to Bai Qi, this absorption process can be long or short, as long as it is not interrupted, the monster will measure when it will complete the advancement by itself. Monsters in the natural environment can't shine on a continuous supply of aura, and often can only end their advancement quickly, after all, the wild is not safe, but since the demon pets of Tianyou are artificially fed, there are no such restrictions. The White Mansion is safe enough, and Tianyou is constantly adding firewood, the Moon Shadow in it does not feel threatened, and there is a steady stream of aura outside for her to absorb, so naturally this process will not be terminated in advance.
According to Bai Qi, although the demon pets raised by the children of the Xianmen are slightly lower than the wild monsters in terms of wildness and combat instinct, they are generally higher than the monsters in the wild environment in terms of growth, which is mainly due to the stable conditions of artificial breeding and the relatively sufficient supply of aura. After all, no matter how poor the children of the Immortal Sect are, they can always find some extra spiritual energy supplies, which is better than the wild monsters relying on natural absorption.
Tianyou originally thought that the house that Ying Ying owed to her for gold should be enough, but she didn't expect Moon Shadow to be so able to burn money, and in the morning, the subordinates of Baifu brought more than a dozen truckloads of firewood and brought all the things that could be found nearby that could be burned. This didn't cost a few bucks, the key was that Bai Qi saw that the absorption speed did not decrease at all, and speculated that the gap in the demand for spiritual energy was too large, and it might not be enough to rely on the fire alone, so he suggested that Tianyou use the demon pill to assist.
Demon Pill Tianyou has sold a lot of them before, of course, they are all low-level, but what is needed now is the Demon Pill with the corresponding attributes, that is, it must be a fire system. Of course, Tianyou won't be able to find it for a while, but fortunately, there are many in vain, and there are quite a few.
As a military general and a cultivator, Bai Qi naturally has some things around him to assist in cultivation. He has the demon pill, and he has all five systems, and Tianyou is very generous to use him. But God bless you can't take it for nothing, and you have to give money in the end! Helplessly, the money for this house has not been repaid, but the more you owe it, the more you owe.
Bai Qi took a breath and ordered someone to take three demon pills, of which the ranks were different, the highest one was the demon pill of the middle-level Xuan Demon, and the remaining two were spirit demon pills, one beginner and one middle-rank.
Tianyou thought about it, and was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, so he simply threw the highest-level one into it first.
Under normal circumstances, demon pets can't continuously take demon pills, because the absorption speed is limited, and if you swallow too much, you will have the same aura anesthesia effect as last night, like drinking too much. But in the process of advancement, the demon pill can be used in unlimited quantities, as long as it does not reach the limit of aura required for advancement, no matter how much it comes, it is no problem.
Tianyou threw out the highest-level one in one go, originally thinking that it would be better to waste some than not to have enough. As a result, like a meat bun beating a dog, the demon pill entered the flame vortex and instantly disintegrated into a rich fire-based aura, and then followed the vortex into the body of the Moon Shadow, but the result was that the vortex had been in the vortex for a long time, and there was no intention to stop at all.
Bai Qi was also shocked at this time, but he didn't expect that a mid-level Xuan Demon Demon Demon Pill was not enough.
"Bai Shibo, this ......"
"Throw both of them in your hand, and I'll have someone take them." ”
Anyway, if you have too much debt, you don't have to worry, Tianyou gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and threw the two demon pills in his hand. Of course, it's still not enough.
The housekeeper was very fast, and soon sent a new demon pill, this time it was a wooden box, and after opening it, you could see twelve neat grids, each of which contained a fiery red demon pill.
"Bai Shibo, this ......" Tianyou really didn't dare to start, he couldn't afford to sell this box of demon pills!
"It's okay, you just use it, it's not enough for me. ”
Bai Qi said the atmosphere, but Tianyou felt that his heart was dripping blood. Trembling, he took out the demon pill one by one and threw it into the flame whirlpool, watching the fiery red demon pill disintegrate and disappear in the flame whirlpool, Tianyou suddenly had a feeling that he was burning money to play. Throwing out three in one go, Tianyou was already sweating profusely, and he didn't know if it was hot or distressing.
Fortunately, Moon Shadow was not a bottomless pit after all, and when the sixth demon pill in the box was thrown, the flame vortex clearly began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. Bai Qi hurriedly stopped Tianyou, for fear that he would throw another one into it with a trembling hand.
"Almost, change the firewood and let her absorb it naturally. ”
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Tianyou put down the box and began to add firewood. The burning speed of the surrounding flames has not changed much, but it can be seen that the whirlpool is shrinking, and it has been busy until lunchtime, and the whirlpool is basically invisible, but God You does not dare to stop, so he can only continue to add firewood, but it is no longer so frequent.
In order to accompany him, Bai Qi simply asked people to send lunch to this courtyard, and the two sat by the fire and finished their lunch, and they didn't know that they thought they were playing barbecue at home.
In the afternoon, Tianyou found that the aura was no longer reduced, so he stopped adding firewood, and as the remaining firewood burned out, the flames began to get smaller and smaller, and when the flames shrank to only one person high, the firewood pile suddenly moved, and there was a bang, and the ashes of the big two were scattered together with the charred black charcoal that had not been burned out. Looking at the flames again, a little Lori who is more than a foot tall and has a delicate and cute life is sitting up from the flames as if she has just woken up, and then propped up a cute lazy waist, and sighed. Of course, if it weren't for the burning ashes around her, she would have looked a little cuter.
It seems that she has just woken up and is a little confused, little Lori sat in the fire and rubbed her eyes and looked around, and then found Tianyou, and a cute smile immediately appeared on her red little face.
Tianyou wanted to respond with a smile when he saw this, but the next second, his expression changed to extreme horror, because the cute little Lori was spreading her arms and flapping her wings behind her back.
"The host ......"
"Damn, don't come...... Yes...... Hot, hot, hot...... Don't touch it...... Help me...... Lao Tzu doesn't prevent fire!" (To be continued.) )
