Chapter 7: After the Battle
"This thing can kill the boar king of the fake baby realm, it's definitely not an ordinary thing! I just don't know what this thing can be used for!"
Xiao Xiang took out the Spirit Swallowing Vine, puzzled, not knowing how to use it.
"Oh a pity, if only the system could help me figure out what this thing is!
The land of Miaotu Mountain is estimated to be at the same level as the leopard spirit in Hidden Misty Mountain! This thing can be cultivated for him, it must not be an ordinary thing!"
As he spoke, Xiao Xiang kept fiddling with the Spirit Devouring Vine under his feet.
"Xiaotangshan's predecessor's land strength should be quite strong! Now that he is dead, the surrounding land gods should know! Even if he doesn't know, there should be mountain gods here in Xiaotangshan! But why did I inherit the land temple for so long and didn't find out that there were other land gods around!"
The more he thought about it, the more confused Xiao Xiang became.
However, it was at the moment when his words fell that suddenly an invisible fluctuation came out of his mind.
"Huh?"
Xiao Xiang was a little surprised, and quickly turned to capture this fluctuation.
It's like it's a thousand-mile transmission.
Xiao Xiang held the land god crutch in his hand, and used the power of the land temple to begin to capture this word in his mind.
"Xiaotangshan Land, aren't you dead yet?"
Catching this thousand-mile transmission, the latter's face suddenly showed a hint of joy, at least Xiao Xiang knew that he might not be alone.
"He's dead! Who are you?"
"Dead?"
The latter was silent for a moment, but soon it was heard again.
"Focus the power of your scepter in your mind! I'll meet you later..."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xiang was immediately silent.
He knows that his current strength is still at the bottom of the entire Journey to the West, and if the person who transmits the voice to him in his mind has bad intentions, he introduces it into his land temple, it is not that he is looking for death.
"Don't worry, I'm also the god of the land!"
After the latter's thousands of miles of transmission, he quickly gathered a force.
Sure enough, it is the unique guardian power of the Land Temple.
"Good!"
Xiao Xiang nodded reassuringly, and then turned into a cane in his hand, and the brilliance that seemed to be absent slowly gathered in Meng Liang's mind.
And on the other side, another land god who was transmitted for thousands of miles also slowly began to gather in front of Xiao Xiang.
"You are?"
Xiao Xiang frowned slightly, looking at the figure in front of him, obviously very puzzled.
The appearance of the land god in front of him looked quite amiable, and the crutch organized in his hand was much more beautiful than the one in his hand.
After seeing Xiao Xiang blink, the land god was slightly stunned, checked the surrounding situation again, and then exhaled helplessly.
"It turns out that the previous land is dead, you should be the new inherited land god!"
"Yes, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Xiao Xiang said with some doubts.
"I am also the land god, I am the land of Henggu Mountain, and I am also a friend of the land god of Xiaotang Mountain.
But the territory between me and him is too far away, and I didn't know until he died until a long time later!"
"I see!, how could you..."
"Your guardian power here has already reached the level of the Jindan stage, so I can barely sense it here, as if there has been a slight change!
"That's what it looks like!"
Xiao Xiang nodded.
"Can I ask for advice?"
"It's your own business! Don't ask me! Well, I'm just friends with the last land of Xiaoyu Village, and I don't have any connection with you!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xiang immediately began to slander in his heart.
Ask you any questions, and sooner or later you'll be killed by the goblins.
"This is nature, let me ask you a question, how can it be empty-handed!"
Xiao Xiang smiled, and then quickly searched in his space backpack, and soon found a bottle of energy coke.
Then he reached out and shook it.
"You've never drunk this before!"
"This thing?"
Henggu Mountain Land, after taking the Coke, then opened it, and found that the black liquid was still bubbling on it, looking like venom.
"It's a rare good thing, it's called Coke, which I got by chance!"
As he spoke, Xiao Xiang also opened it by himself, and poured a bottle into his mouth.
When he crossed over, there were only three bottles of Coke in the big backpack, and now there was only one bottle left.
"Isn't it just Coke? When the old man was traveling outside, he saw all kinds of Coke!"
The land god of Henggu Mountain said lightly, and then put away the things without leaving a trace.
"Tell me, you want to ask me something!"
"Xiao Tangshan died on the land, why don't you help!"
As soon as these words came out, the latter was stunned, and after a long time, he exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"It's not that I don't save... By the time I knew about it, he was already dead!"
"What about the mountain god of Xiaotang Mountain!"
Xiao Qiang once again raised his doubts, this is the world of Journey to the West, the land and the mountain god are generally cooperating with each other, but now there is no mountain god, which really makes people feel a little strange.
"The mountain god is enchanted, he has already died, and the hill about thirty miles behind Xiaotang Village is the former Xiaotang Mountain!
As for why the mountain god died, I don't know, it is estimated that the previous land of Xiaotang Village knew!
Although I am friends with the previous land god, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and I don't care too much about the privacy of both parties!"
"Okay, then I'll ask these villagers of mine if there is any danger if they enter the city, and if I can go in with them!"
"You can follow! But once you're out of your range, your power will be weakened a lot!
Of course, if you want to leave your village and still have great power, you can cultivate on your own!
"Why should everyone else be able to cultivate, why can't we land gods?"
"Why, hehe, our land gods are earth immortals canonized by the heavenly court, and their souls are the same as immortals, they can live forever, but their physical bodies cannot. ”
Henggu Mountain Land sighed and continued.
"The last land was because he wanted to break through the shackles by his own cultivation, but as a result, his body almost collapsed due to his cultivation forking in the road, and he was taken advantage of by that leopard spirit. ”
"Aren't we immortals in our souls, and if our bodies are broken, will it be very harmful?"
Xiao Xiang wondered again.
Although we say that it is the position of the earth immortal canonized by the gods, it is the canonization of the soul.
But if the physical body is damaged, the power of the earth immortals that it can withstand will be weakened, and there will be no way to accept the power of the land temple at that time, so as to fight!"
Speaking of this, the latter's eyes also revealed a trace of helplessness.
"If the land god cultivates by himself, it will be difficult, difficult?"
"This is nature! Accept the position of earth immortal, this is the price!"
Henggu Mountain Land said indifferently.
"If it's hard and difficult, it's not impossible?"
Xiao Xiang suddenly thought that when he went to absorb the spirit grass, his speed was extremely slow, and his feelings turned out to be because he was the god of the land.
"There are countless ways to cultivate in the world, as long as you have perseverance, as long as you have enough opportunities, you can naturally cultivate.
However, for most people, wanting to cultivate and succeed is tantamount to ascending to the sky!"
"And for our land gods, it is tantamount to more difficult!"
"Then you haven't cultivated either!"
"This is not what you should ask! In addition to the guardian power of the Land Temple, how many lands do not have their own means? Okay, I am very busy, you can ask a few questions at the end!"
The land god of Henggu Mountain waved his hand and said.
Xiao Xiang pondered for a moment.
"The power of our land god is that the more creatures we shelter, the wider the land we shelter, the more faith power we get, and the stronger the power will become!"
"Then if I don't defeat those goblins in battle to recover the land, can it be counted in my protection?"
Henggu Mountain Land heard this, and then nodded.
"Of course you can! As long as you can use means to take other lands for yourself, you can naturally be counted within the scope of your protection! Strengthen the protection power of your land temple!"
"Then I can go to Xiaotangshan..."
Xiao Xiang asked again.
"Whatever you want... But I can tell you, there are a lot of goblins in that mountain, just with your current strength!
Your current land guardian power is only one layer of Jindan, don't think about being too ambitious now, and slowly protect your villagers! Maybe you will be able to become a lot stronger in a few hundred years!"
After saying that, the land of Henggu Mountain immediately disappeared.
"Damn! I forgot to ask him what to do with this Spirit Devouring Vine!"
"Forget it, let's talk about it next time!"
Xiao Xiang said helplessly.
As soon as Xiao Xiang's words fell, a figure suddenly appeared outside the door.
"Grandpa the land god!
Outside the door, a five- or six-year-old girl held a box in her hand and shouted loudly to the land temple.
Swish!
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You are!"
"My dad is Nobita! This is what the village chief's grandfather asked me to bring to you! It's fried pork slices marinated in hare legs, and bison legs, and by the way, monkey brain soup!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, let's eat together!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiang immediately nodded.
"No, no, no! The village chief's grandfather said that this is a special honor for you, and I can't eat it!"
The little girl quickly shook her head, but the appearance of swallowing saliva really made Xiao Xiang laugh secretly.
Thinking about it, Xiaotang Village didn't have a good time in the past, and it could only rely on some miscellaneous grains grown in the village to barely satisfy itself, where would there be a chance to eat wild beasts and meat.
Besides, the meat in the box in front of this little girl is a dish made from the best meat carefully selected by the old village chief.
Not to mention this little girl, even the old village chief hasn't eaten it for so many years.
"I'm the god of the land, listen to me!
As soon as Xiao Xiang returned his hand, an earthen table and an earthen stool were automatically formed on the ground.
"Then I'm not welcome Xiao Ling'er!"
Hearing Xiao Xiang say this, Xiao Ling'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't care about her image, so she quickly stretched out her little hand and feasted on it.
Xiao Xiang smiled, picked up the chopsticks and took a slice, this jerky is delicious in the mouth, but when Xiao Xiang chewed hard.
Bah...
A salty and astringent taste.
"Land Grandpa... Isn't it delicious?"
Xiao Ling'er looked puzzled, and her mouth was stuffed and she continued.
"It's okay, but why don't you know that there will be a variety of flavors, maybe you put some special seasonings?"
"No, I was lying on the stove and watching my mother make it, with only a little salt!"
Salt?
Xiao Xiang suddenly became clear when he heard this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said secretly in his heart.
"By the way, now is the moment of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is a parallel world, the villagers here should not be able to afford to eat fine salt! And even if it is fine salt, the taste is far worse than the salt of the 21st century!"
"Perhaps! Distillation method, you can try it!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Xiang suddenly had an idea, as if he had thought of something, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Xiao Xiang deducted the salt particles from the pastry and tasted it with the tip of his tongue.
Phew! It's a little astringent, and there are too many impurities.
"Yes, it looks like it's going to have to be distilled. Thinking of this, Xiao Xiang turned his head and said to Xiao Ling'er, who was drinking soup next to him.
"Hurry up and drink all the monkey brain soup, I have other uses!"
"Oooh!"
Xiao Ling'er nodded frantically.
Xiao Xiang smiled, and then all the salt particles from the fried meat dish were taken out, and then thrown into the clay pot little by little, and began to distill.
When all the water has evaporated, all that is left is fine salt.
"Haha! That's it!"
Xiao Xiang chuckled and sprinkled salt on the slices of meat that he had stir-fried earlier.
Fragrant...
While eating, Xiao Xiang thought that there seemed to be no way to make salt here, and if he handed over the method to the village chief, wouldn't he be able to make a lot of money.
If there is money, the construction of this small soup village can be better developed, and more people can be attracted to come over at that time.
"The husband is not guilty, he is in his arms! The method of making this thing still can't be given to him!"
"But I can go along and have a look. ”
Thinking of this, a way to make a fortune immediately appeared in Xiao Xiang's mind.
Just as Meng Liang was enjoying the delicious food in his hands, he suddenly felt a change in the back mountain, and suddenly his figure flashed and appeared quickly.
The first thing that catches your eye is the corpses of plucked and skinned goblins.
"These villagers seem to be really poor! They don't even let go of the hair on their tails!"
Xiao Xiang took a look, except for the little hair left on the weasel's body, the rest of the body was clean.
The Art of Land Shifting!
With the movement of the crutches, soon the land behind the mountain began to float rapidly.
One body after another was buried in the ground.
Bronze Shroud! Silver Shroud! Go.
One after another spiritual light rushed over quickly, and the corpses of those goblins were quickly decomposed, and wisps of pure power entered Xiao Xiang's body from the soil.
The nine orifices of gathering qi are running, and the ninth aperture of the dantian begins, slowly emerging.
