Chapter 37: The Stingless Scale (Part I)
Under the dark, cold skylight, there was silence in the square. Huge torches, standing silently, emitting a dim glow.
At this time, Ye Qingcheng was wearing a leather blanket and sitting on the ground, snoring in his arms. After Shi Chao was led into the door of the Beast Worship Palace, Ye Qingcheng became the leader of the Xin group, and there were seven or eight apprentices behind him.
With Fu Shan's voice echoing in the lonely square, Ye Qingcheng quietly glanced at the elder in front of the Gengzi Gate in the distance, Yu Feng, who was still sitting on the throne coldly, his expression did not fluctuate in the slightest.
Obviously, Yu Feng had discovered that among these apprentices a few days ago, a Ye Qingcheng had been mixed in. It's just that he can't do anything here, so he pretends that nothing happened.
However, as soon as Shi Chao was led into the door of the Xinzi Palace, the door of the palace opened before he could breathe thirty breaths. I saw that Shi Chao ran out in a panic and shouted in horror: "I abstain, I abstain!!"
Fu Shan, who had a long beard and a burly physique, also followed, and said coldly: "What did you do earlier? Next, Ye Qingcheng!"
When Ye Qingcheng got up, Lihuo decisively got into his arms and hid. At the same time, Ye Qingcheng found out from the corner of his eye that there was a white figure standing on the side of the square in the distance, he was Yu Feng's junior brother - Xiao Jing, who was staring at Ye Qingcheng intently with a habitual smile.
"Come with me. "The first assessment was in the final stage, Fu Shan was also a little lazy, he glanced at Ye Qingcheng casually, and he didn't think that Ye Qingcheng could survive this hurdle.
Ye Qingcheng stepped on the stairs in front of the hall, took a deep breath of cold air, and followed Fu Shan's figure.
"Boom!!" A sound of the door shutting came, and Ye Qingcheng walked into a secret room in the hall.
This secret chamber is only five zhang wide, and it is a square structure. In the secret room, there is a large bronze cage, a black stone table, and a green oil lamp on the table.
In the dim light, Fu Shan stood silently behind Ye Qingcheng. The first thing Ye Qingcheng noticed was the bronze cage, which was surrounded by terrifying bloodstains. A hideous green snake the size of a bucket is curled up in a cage.
It erected awl-like, dark blue stinger scales all over its body, and stared at Ye Qingcheng with two pairs of red to purple snake pupils. It erects its neck and makes a threatening "swish" sound. At this time, its body was also covered with cyan blood, and many scales had been pulled out. Although it looked hideous and terrifying, it was also seriously injured.
Injured beasts are the most dangerous, and every apprentice knows this.
Shi Chao before was probably frightened by its ferocious momentum.
"The injury is not light. Ye Qingcheng said. He was nervous before he entered the door, but after seeing the stingy snake, he calmed down.
Fu Shan, who was standing behind him, thought that he would be scared away, but he didn't expect that only a martial artist could be so calm.
Fuyama's old-fashioned face showed a hint of relief, and he walked to the black stone table and lifted a gray cloth. Under the gray cloth were more than a dozen newly prepared herbs, and he said: "Judging from your cultivation, if you can refine the snake incense, you can try it, if you can't refine it, give it up as soon as possible." ”
Ye Qingcheng nodded, turned around and walked towards the black stone table.
However, at this moment, the angry stinging scale snake, as if it was crazy, frantically slammed into the bronze cage.
"Tom!tom!tom!tom!tom!to......m!to
Every time it hits, it makes a loud noise, which reverberates through the chamber.
Ye Qingcheng knew why, as long as the snake incense was successful, it would be smoked unconscious, and when it woke up, it would face one less thorn. A thorn doesn't matter, what matters is that it has been humiliated again.
"After many times of torment of smoked snake incense, ordinary smoked snake incense has little effect on it. Fushan reminded, "You must refine the finest snake incense. ”
"It's unfair to it. Ye Qingcheng said, picking up the withered sunflower on the stone table.
As a result, as the failed apprentice said a few days ago, this withered sunflower was a fake snake sunflower. He stared at it carefully, and then, he poured out all the sunflower seeds inside.
More than 100 sunflower seeds are scattered on the stone table. Ye Qingcheng stared at them carefully, trying to find the only true snake sunflower seed hidden in them.
Fu Shan looked at him calmly, if he couldn't even distinguish between real and fake snake sunflower seeds, then he would not be eligible for the next assessment. The stinging snake stopped hitting the bronze cage, and also stared at Ye Qingcheng with its hideous eyes.
Suddenly, Ye Qingcheng showed a smile and took out a sunflower seed with gray-white spots from a hundred sunflower seeds.
Fushan's eyes flickered. And the captive stinging scale snake once again frantically slammed into the bronze cage. Because, what Ye Qingcheng found was a real snake sunflower seed.
However, Ye Qingcheng's next move startled Fu Shan, and also confused the stinging scale snake that had almost lost his mind.
He pinched the real snake sunflower seed, stuffed it into his mouth and opened it, then chewed the seed a few times, swallowed it, and said with a smile: "This one is real." ”
Fu Shan stared at Ye Qingcheng incredulously and said, "It's indeed true, but you ate it." ”
A touch of bitterness echoed in Ye Qingcheng's mouth, he tasted it a little, and said, "This should be a high-grade snake sunflower seed." ”
"Imp. Fu Shan opened his mouth and said, "You have eaten the only snake sunflower seed, and next, what are you going to use to refine the snake incense?" ”
"No need to smoke snake incense. Ye Qingcheng said: "If you stun it, and then take the snake sting, it is a robbery, not a 'borrowing'." ”
Hearing this, Fu Shan's face changed suddenly, and he stared at Ye Qingcheng in shock, and said, "It turns out that you are here for the gold medal!"
Yes, Ye Qingcheng felt that there was a secret hidden in this assessment before, and the old man who presided over the assessment had said before the assessment that he would borrow a snake sting, not take it. That's the point.
"My master said before that animal tamers are not hunters, and if they only harm the beasts and do not protect them, there will be no such thing as taming beasts between heaven and earth. Ye Qingcheng said: "Especially the spiritual beast, once you hurt it, it will never trust you again, and only its fangs and claws will reward you." ”
"Your master is right. Fushiyama said, "But what are you going to do next?"
I saw that Ye Qingcheng peeled seven fake snake sunflower seeds, then smashed them, and among those materials, he selected a few of them, especially the green snake wound leaf, mashed them together, and poured them into a large copper spoon. Then, he bit his finger, dripped three drops of blood into the copper spoon, and finally put it on the green oil lamp and stirred it carefully while roasting.
At this time, Fu Shan was silent, but he was very relieved in his heart, he knew that Ye Qingcheng was refining snake wound ointment.
Fake snake sunflower seeds and snake wound leaves are not only used to confuse those apprentices, but also to refine this kind of off-the-ss plaster, which is not for healing people, but for snakes. Previously, the vast majority of apprentices had fallen into this misunderstanding.
Ye Qingcheng made this qiē extremely accurate, and the confusion and mystery of this assessment were all in vain in front of him.
After a while, the snake wound ointment was refined.
Ye Qingcheng held the copper spoon and sniffed it lightly to make sure that he hadn't missed, and then said respectfully to Fu Shan: "Elder Fu, please open the cage." ”
