Chapter 101: The First Arrival of Upheaval II
Three days later, Zhang Yuan felt that his body began to appear hungry, and the skin on his body was slightly shriveled, and he knew that he urgently needed to replenish food and water, so he walked to the town below the mountain.
He hadn't reached the point where he was exposed to food, but he had lasted longer than ordinary people, and he couldn't cut off his body's need for food.
The heavy snow was much lighter than the previous day, and the town was a little more lively, with some merchants from afar buying medicinal herbs from door to door, and the sound of bargaining was everywhere.
Although the price of medicine is expensive, if it is resold to some dignitaries, it is ten times or even a hundred times the profit, and it is no wonder that these businessmen are rushing to it.
Zhang Yuan went to a restaurant that was full of people, and instructed the boss: "Three bowls of mutton soup, twenty meat buns, and another thirty catties of mutton, wrap them and take them away." ”
The boss glanced at him, his face changed, and he waved his hand and drove away: "Don't sell, don't sell, go quickly." ”
"Why don't you sell it when you open your door for business?" Zhang Yuan said calmly.
The boss's eyes widened, and he pushed it over, shouting: "If you don't sell it, you don't sell it, I don't have your share of the food here, get out of here." ”
Even though he said this, a pair of eyes kept staring at him, as if to imply something.
Zhang Yuan grabbed the other party's wrist, sat down peacefully, and said lightly: "Boss, let's serve the food." ”
The boss was about to persuade a few more words, but suddenly felt as if his hand was caught by an iron tong, and he couldn't move, but fortunately he let go immediately, so he had to rub his wrist, shook his head and sighed and walked away, saying nothing more.
It's not that he's so kind, it's just that he doesn't want what is about to happen in a moment to affect the business of the store.
And what he meant Zhang Yuan naturally understood, since he entered the town, he felt that he was being watched, and he had been quietly following behind.
The hot mutton soup was served, Zhang Yuan lifted the bowl and drank it, not caring about the hot temperature at all, only feeling a hot mellow fragrance flowing into the internal organs in his abdomen, and suddenly felt hearty, and the coldness and chill on his body were swept away.
The boss brought another plate of white and big buns, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but say: "Guest officer, if you don't leave, if you make trouble for a while, please leave here, the small shop can't afford to toss." ”
Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, but did not answer, grabbed a bun and chewed it in a big bite.
After eating the meal smoothly, the expected trouble did not come, and the boss was also relieved, and hurriedly handed over the wrapped mutton and watched him leave.
As soon as he walked out of the town, he turned the corner of the hillside, and was surrounded by a dozen men with knives, staring at him with vicious eyes.
In the crowd, a middle-aged woman with a stout figure and a white cloth towel on her head looked sad and angry, pointed at Zhang Yuan and scolded: "Dog thief, how did you harm my family and the lives of my two brothers?"
The little girl who had served the hot soup was crying with a pouting mouth, her big eyes full of sadness, and she choked up and said, "Woo...... Big brother, why did you kill my father and uncle, why......? ”
Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "Because, they deserve to die, it's not a pity to die." ”
"Dog thief, cut him!!" The woman could not bear it any longer.
"Kill!"
"Go!"
A group of people shouted and slashed indiscriminately, in this lawless remote place, these people did not know how many lives were under their hands, and they all shot ruthlessly, stabbing at the vital parts.
Suddenly, a snowy sword light flashed suddenly, making the snow all over the ground dim for a moment.
The figures of a dozen or so men suddenly froze in place, motionless......
Zhang Yuan walked up to the sad and frightened little girl, reached out and stroked the top of her head, and said in a deep voice: "Look at the color of the blood, it will ...... soon." You just have to get used to it, get used to it. ”
After speaking, the figure floated away and disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
The woman still glared at herself and scolded, "Dog thief, you ......." ”
Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly bulged, and her body trembled, and the bodies of the dozen or so men suddenly split in two, and they slid to the ground strangely, and the blood gurgled straight out, staining a large patch of snow.
The little girl's eyes widened, staring blankly at the scene in front of her, and even the fear was forgotten for a while, and her eyes were full of the blinding scarlet, which became her never-ending nightmare.
......
Zhang Yuan returned to the top of the mountain again and put the food in the cave where he rested, the low temperature on the top of the mountain was enough to freeze into ice, and he didn't have to worry about the mutton being spoiled Although the taste was a little bad, it allowed him to not worry about the food problem in a short time, and he could concentrate on completing the last step.
In the boring and repeated tempering, time passed day by day, and every month Zhang Yuan went down the mountain to replenish the food source, and then returned to the mountain again, living a life of unknown years.
When going up and down the mountain, I occasionally found some good medicinal materials when passing by, so I took them off and experimented with the ancient mirror, and found that whether it was ginseng or snow lotus, the "power of time" that could be obtained was very little, and after about a hundred years of growth, it would not continue to grow.
This also gave him a clear conclusion: this mirror can absorb the "time" on the alien beast, and then instill it with medicinal materials, so that it can mature in a short period of time and grow quickly to an extreme.
Of course, each herb has an upper limit of age, some are long, such as a thousand years of Zhixian, some are short, such as a hundred years of ginseng and snow lotus, and even other medicines that are less than ten years old.
And the "power of time" in the mirror is by no means inexhaustible, the big spider in the dungeon, the underwater giant beast in Taoyuan Village and the rampant, these three strange beasts that have survived to this day, have provided a total of more than 10,000 years of time, but most of them are automatically absorbed by the ancient mirror and used to restore their own consumption and the energy consumed by him to be reborn ten years ago.
That is to say, from now on, as much time as the ancient mirror absorbs, it can be used. As the remaining river of Broken Gold Mist became less and less, the overflow became thinner and thinner.
After Zhang Yuan realized this, he immediately stopped his useless attempts and no longer wasted his precious time and energy on ordinary medicinal materials.
That day...... It's getting closer.
Zhang Yuan's yin soul is still one step away from being promoted to the Yang God, as if he will never be able to step through that hurdle with that painless Gangfeng.
Although he had forgotten exactly what happened on that day, the premonition in his heart was increasing little by little, and the spiritual sense in his heart was constantly telling him that it was an unprecedented event, a great feast for all beings in the whole heaven and earth...... Coming soon!!
Even though he had already experienced such a situation in his previous life, he was at a loss and in fear, passively accepting the arrival of changes.
And in this life, it is completely different!
It is a pity not to become a yang god, but he is also confident enough to live well in the chaos in the future!
That night, Zhang Yuan simply gave up the training that he had insisted on for half a year, and quietly looked up at the dark night sky.
The sky was starless and moonless, dead and silent as usual, except for the fluttering snowflakes, it seemed that there would be no more abnormalities, as ever.
In the second half of the night, a sudden change occurred.
In the night sky, the heavy clouds are like two huge curtains, which are slowly opened by an invisible force, and above the vast sky, the stars are shining eternally!
The wind rises.
