Chapter 37: Tao Gong
The village was built on the slopes of the mountains, and not every house was on the same side. There are many roads into the village, and Tieshan, the one who led the way, he chose the widest and best one. The mountain people are almost hospitable, and they will show the gentlest smile on their faces to entertain every guest who visits the mountain.
To the east of that village is the home of Iron Mountain. The house is not big and the furnishings are very simple. The furniture was rough and not elaborate, apparently of his own making.
The two of them walked into the house, and Tie Shan memorized the names and shapes of those medicinal herbs on the side, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Is there any injury on Brother Yu's body?" Although I don't know many medicinal herbs, I still know that some of them are used to heal injuries. ”
Yu Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then replied with a wry smile, "Does Big Brother Tie know about the Iron Scale King Snake?"
"Iron Scale King Snake?" Tie Shan was silent for a long time before he said, "That seems to be the king of the Iron Scale Snake Clan, could it be that Brother Yu's injury is related to the Iron Scale King Snake?"
Yu Xuan nodded and said, "A few days ago, the Iron Scale Snake Clan didn't know what kind of madness they had, and they were injured when they saw people, and many mountain people and hunters died because of it. I ran fast, dozens of feet away, but I was still injured by the strong wind on the tail of the Iron Scale King Snake, and the internal breath on my left arm is still not smooth. ”
"How can it be? Although the Iron Scale Snake Clan is not friendly, it can also be called well water with humans, and does not interfere with river water. We mountain people don't hurt them when we hunt. Iron Mountain asked in surprise.
For this question, Yu Xuan had to smile bitterly.
After a short time, Tie Shan counted the herbs and handed them over. Yu Xuan hurriedly took out the silver dollar, and he smiled and excused himself: "People in the mountains don't pay attention to these. ”
There are not many of those medicinal herbs, and the variety is very complete. There is always no shortage of wolves, insects and monsters in the mountains, and the mountain people have to rely on these pharmacological techniques to protect themselves. Yu Xuan looked at these medicinal herbs and couldn't help but sigh softly. Tie Shan asked, "Does Brother Yu really need the 'Jade Whisker Fire Ginseng'?"
Yu Xuan looked up at him and said happily: "Could it be that Brother Tie has a way?"
Tie Shan nodded and said, "There may be Tao Gong on Peach Mountain in the north." ”
"Tao Gong?"
Tie Shan said "um" and said, "That old man stays at home and is accompanied by peach trees and weeds. is also an out-and-out alcoholic, and he only drinks wine as water on weekdays. But the wine he brewed is also a must, like a fairy drinking. The people in our village were also fortunate enough to taste some, and I didn't want to go, so I often gave him some clothes, and this came and went, and it became familiar. A few days ago, I happened to see him make sake with jade whisker fire ginseng. ”
That Peach Mountain is not far from the village, only Rich. The mountain was not high, and the mountain was gentle, and in a short time, the two of them reached the top of the mountain. The top of the hill is open and there is a peach forest. There are no miscellaneous trees in it, and the grass is sparse. After the peach forest, there was a small pavilion, and only an old man slept in it.
The old man's beard was silver-white and his body was thin. His clothes were in tatters, like a beggar.
It was early spring, and the spring cold was thick. When Yu Xuan saw it, he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He took off his robe and draped it over the old man, and Tie Shan went to call him gently.
The old man looked at them half-open, half-drunk. After a long time, he said, "It's Iron Boy, what are you doing?" When he opened his mouth, there was still seven points of wine in his mouth.
"Tao Gong, this is Brother Yu, he wants to ask you for some 'Jade Whisker Fire Ginseng' to treat your injuries. Iron Mountain said beside him.
That Tao Gong looked at Yu Xuan and said lazily: "This kid is just a little unsmooth in his internal breath, why do you want any jade whisker fire ginseng?"
Yu Xuan was taken aback, and thought to himself: "This old man is also an unseemly lord." Immediately said respectfully: "The seniors are discerning, and the juniors are asking for others." The Xuanyin palm power in that person's body needs to be used as medicine to dissolve the palm power......"
"Xuanyin Palm?" Before Yu Xuan finished speaking, Tao Gong suddenly straightened up and looked at him. After a long time, he lowered his head again, pointed to a piece of land next to the pavilion, and said slowly: "There are more than a dozen plants there, you go dig them." ”
Yu Xuan's face was happy, and he hurriedly dug a plant in his hand. Then he shook Tao Gong to the ground and said: "In the future, the seniors have a life, and the younger generations must obey their fate!"
That Tao Gong half-opened his eyes, smiled, threw the wine jug away, and landed in Yu Xuan's hand. He said, "Give you a few sips, the old man can't just accept the gifts of the afterlife." ”
Yu Xuan hurriedly said: "The senior's words are serious, just this one fire ginseng is worth a hundred clothes." ”
Tao Gong stretched his waist lazily and said, "The fire ginseng was given to you voluntarily by the old man, and you won't do anything else." ”
Yu Xuan knew that the old man had a strange temperament, and he took a sip of the wine at the moment, only to feel that his mouth was mellow and fragrant, and his whole body was comfortable, so he wanted to drink it again. But thinking that it was not easy to make this wine, and thinking that it had already made a big bargain today, he returned the jug.
The Tao Gong smiled and nodded slightly, letting the two of them go down the mountain. Tie Shan said: "Brother Yu is in a hurry to go back? Tomorrow, the spring hunting of young people in my village is a rare event." ”
Yu Xuan nodded, suddenly stopped and asked, "Does Brother Tieshan know how far Jinyang Mansion is from here?" He thought that Wucheng was unknown, and he was afraid that Tieshan would not know it, so he only asked about the distance of Jinyang Mansion at the moment.
"Jinyang Mansion? That's far away, saying that it's five hundred miles to the south, and there are two big mountains in between. Tie Shan groaned slightly, and then said.
Yu Xuan nodded, and after a while, he returned to his residence. He had just been lucky enough to be lucky, but a warm breath rose in his belly. The heat grew hotter and hotter, as if a fire was burning in the belly. He was shocked, and another breath of fresh air rushed to the top door, but the Jueling Platform was clear. He muttered softly: "Spiritual Sense?" and then felt that the mass of inner breath was jumping up and down in the dantian, and when it was transported to his hand, the purple qi in his palm was thick. He said happily: "The Spirit Realm Fruit is different from the Yuan Realm Realm. ”
It ran all night in one go, and stabilized the cultivation. In the early morning of the next day, Yu Xuan woke up and turned around. But I could hear the sound of birdsong so clearly, and I didn't feel happy in my heart, but if I wanted to cultivate now, if I wanted to defeat the demon wolf, it would never exceed thirty rounds.
It turned out that the fire ginseng wine was mixed with hot and dry things, and it contained extremely pure fire vitality, which was consistent with Yu Xuan's cultivation path. Yu Xuan drank this wine, and did not hesitate to eat a great tonic. The wine melted into the inner breath, and when he was running the inner breath, the vitality converged, helping him break through the entrance and condense into the Yuan Dan.
He had doubts and pondered for a moment before he realized. At that moment, I was so grateful that I wanted to go out to thank Tao Gong, but Tie Shan walked in. He saw that Yu Xuan's breath was strong, and it was not the same as yesterday, so he smiled slightly and handed over the iron tire strong bow.
Although Yu Xuan had never practiced archery kung fu, he had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, and his strength had increased a lot. When the two of them walked to the West Ridge, they saw more than a dozen teenagers and three or five middle-aged men gathered around. I only heard a middle-aged man: "We still go to the forest this year, there are many wild beasts, easy to hunt." ”
The forest was very large, and the snow was not thick, but the ground was full of dead branches and leaves, and it was not easy to walk. Although the vitality cultivation of those teenagers is not very high, the children of the mountain families have a physique far better than their peers, and they are light and healthy, catching up with the front. I heard the sound of a bow, and the arrow did not enter the bushes, and a young man hurriedly shouted: "Deer deer ......" A big deer jumped out of the bushes, grabbed the road and ran, it turned out that the young man shot empty.
Immediately, a group of teenagers rushed up and rushed out of Lixu. It's just that the big deer is quick, and after a while, it gets away. Na Tieshan and a few adults deliberately tempered the temperament of the teenagers, hanging behind them, and then they came slowly. They were about to offer words of comfort, when suddenly there were a few piercing "snorts" in one place. When Yu Xuan heard this, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Iron Scale Snake!"
Tie Shan knew that the iron scale snake was powerful, turned around sharply, and opened his bow and arrows. But his arrows seemed to have eyes, piercing into the grass outside Zhangxu, and Yu Xuan exerted his spiritual sense, and knew that the iron-scaled snake was dead.
But everyone didn't know that Tieshan was playing tricks, but Tieshan knew that there was a strange wind sound dozens of feet away. Immediately, I heard a person shouting in the distance: "The friend in front of me still hopes to save us, and I will thank you for it!" The voice was clear, and it was a young man.
Tie Shan said to everyone: "You go back to the village first, Brother Yu, let's go!" I saw Yu Xuan and the two running like the wind, turning a hillside. Tie Shan saw a group of snakes surging up like a tide under the hillside, and he was quick to shoot arrows early. His bow was also a strong bow, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air was very clear, nailing the iron-scaled snake firmly to the ground.
Yu Xuan's face was surprised. The iron-scaled snake's skin is tough and hard, and it is difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt it. At that time, I heard the sound of breaking the sky again, and saw that it was Tie Shan shooting with a series of arrows. But the group of snakes didn't care about Yu Xuan and the two of them, and only kept attacking the two people in the group of snakes.
The two men were a man and a woman, both twenty-five or sixteen years old. Although the woman was beautiful, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she sat slumped aside with only a black package, protected by a man. That man is not trivial, and he should have the cultivation of the Spiritual Duality Realm. He is very skilled in martial arts, especially good at leg skills. Nine of his ten moves are made with his legs. I saw that he didn't jump up high, and his legs swept down, like a knife blade, the wind was fierce, and the ground came and went like a knife slashing traces, roughly counting down, there were already a hundred ways.
Yu Xuan frowned from the side, the man's legs were strong, but the energy was also high. After a long time, it will not last long. At the moment, he said to Tie Shan: "There are too many snakes, don't entangle, if we meet the Iron Scale Snake King, we will all die." ”
Tie Shan nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Two of you come up, don't wait for the Iron Scale Snake King to catch up!" Tie Shan's words were unintentional, but when they fell on the ears of the man and woman, they were all frightened. The woman shuddered and said, "Brother Chu...... I...... What should we do?"
The man must have stepped down, grabbed the woman's slender waist, threw her up, and was picked up by Yu Xuan. It is strange to say that the woman fell to the hillside, and the snakes immediately stopped attacking the man, but rushed towards the hillside!
Yu Xuan's face sank, and he shot an arrow. It's just that he has never practiced archery, and he lost his head. But when the arrow broke through the air, it ignited a small fireworks. It turned out that this arrow was not the spiritual weapon, how could it be blessed by the inner strength of the spiritual fire?
When Yu Xuan saw it, his heart suddenly moved, and he said to the man: "Come up quickly, I have a way to drive away snakes." The man nodded, leaned over slightly, his legs were strong, and he landed on the hillside, behind Yu Xuan. Yu Xuan immediately shot arrows one after another, only hearing the sound of "Xiu Xiu", but he did not seek to shoot the snake body, but only firmly rooted on the ground.
There were a lot of dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground, and the arrows were extremely hot, and in a short time, black smoke billowed out, and the fireworks burst into the sky.
