Chapter 9: In the Dead of Night

You can still be a full ghost when you die!

Chu Qingqiang stood up, stumbled a few steps, sat down on the edge of the python, stretched out his hand to pick up the charred black scales, and the fragrance of snake meat inside came to his face!

Chu Qing's saliva flowed out, and he immediately leaned in and took a bite!

Delicious! Being able to eat the meat of a demon beast for the last meal of his life can be regarded as a creation! Chu Qing gobbled it up with satisfaction!

Eating and eating, I don't know what to bite, it is very elastic and can't bite, the taste is a little astringent, reach out and touch it, it is very soft, pull it down and put it in your hand to see, it is a blue and ink-colored snake gall!

Chu Qing kneaded the snake gall a few times, and thought to himself, this thing looks very good, it should be worth some money, but unfortunately he can't live long, and it's useless to come. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info thought about it, and threw it away, but he was a little reluctant, after all, it was a good thing, but what was the use of not throwing it away, and when he died, he still had to rot here......! Forget it, it's a person who is going to die anyway, let's be willful! Remember that snake gall seems to be a kind of medicinal material, not to mention this one, it must be a superb medicinal material, come on, try it!

With the mentality of experiencing life more before dying, Chu Qing swallowed the snake gall bladder in one gulp!

Ho! It's sour and bitter! A choking smell rushes straight to his nose! Chu Qing frowned disgustingly! He quickly pinched his nose and ate a few mouthfuls of snake meat before he eased up! Eat indiscriminately, isn't this a shame for himself when he is dying!

Time passed slowly, tiredness slowly welled up, and consciousness fell into a blank. Chu Qing fell on the python's corpse and lost consciousness......

The sky is clear.

Birds swept through the sky, and from time to time some wild things such as rabbits, voles, and elk sprang out from the decaying wild woods. During the day, the sound of insects is mixed with the sound of heavy wind blowing leaves, and occasionally from the woods comes the crisp and melodious birdsong, and flocks of butterflies are flying, in the grass and flowers, chasing the fragrance with wild bees.

One or two beast roars could be heard in the distance......

I don't know how long it took, Chu Qing's index finger moved, and he quietly regained consciousness. He was dazed, did not open his eyes, and secretly said in his heart: Am I dead? Am I still conscious when I am dead? Won't I become a ghost?

Suddenly I felt sore, and I almost groaned! But Chu Qing's mood was pleasantly surprised.

Not dead!

"How much longevity do I have?" Chu Qing asked Lingxi in his heart.

"You have twenty-seven days left on your lifespan. Lingxi replied.

Chu Qing couldn't help laughing: "Ho, ho, haha, haha, cough, cough!" There are still twenty-seven days? pondered, and asked Lingxi: "How did I continue my life," and then said: "Did I break through the level?......!"

"Consume low-grade elixir materials to increase your lifespan by thirty days. ”

Elixir material?

It turned out to be the credit of the snake gall!

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Chu Qing slowly opened his eyes, lying on the ground and looking at the sky, unable to tell what it was like to be in a mood. After lying down for a while, I turned over and got up, feeling a little hungry, and thought: Eat some snake meat to satisfy your hunger, and then hurry!

But when he raised his nose and smelled it, he found that the snake meat was already stinking! Only then did he suddenly react to what Lingxi had just said, there were still twenty-seven days in the balance of Shouyuan, and the low-grade elixir materials had increased by thirty days, and he had been in a coma here for three days!

Chu Qing rubbed his stomach stupidly, let's go find some wild fruits to eat.

Turning to leave, he remembered that he still had a burden, so he hurriedly went to rummage through the ruins of the tree hole. The baggage was rotten, and the money bag was broken, but the silver was still there. He tied the money bag to the waistband of his trousers, walked a few steps, and felt that the money bag was dangling both conspicuously and in the way, and the curse silver still fell out of the hole, so he took out the curse silver inside, and wrapped it in the trouser belt one by one, this time it was safe and convenient. The broken money bag was thrown away.

Finally, he took a look at the tree hole where he was almost alive, sighed with emotion, and left without looking back.

Chu Qing got out of a bush, discerned the direction, and went west along the periphery of Yun Mengze.

Going around and around along the way, although I met a few passing beasts, I got through them without danger. The only thing that made Chu Qing anxious was that since he had used the palm thunder to overdraw the aura in his body, no matter how much he cultivated the Divine Preservation Method, he couldn't gather the aura anymore! Every time he muttered the spell like a nervous disorder, there was no reaction! When he looked inward, his body was empty! Only a few strands of aura were running in a mess! He only had less than a month of longevity left, and now he couldn't continue to cultivate and improve, which was really frustrating!

Chu Qing very much hoped that someone could point him out and see what his current situation was! The only place he knew that there were cultivators was the Wushan Academy Palace, so he suddenly had great expectations for the general election of the Academy Palace!

Fortunately, although the aura in his body has disappeared, his body is much stronger than before, and he is not too tired when he is in such a hurry.

When it was dark, Chu Qing finally saw the village, didn't care about resting, asked someone to inquire, and continued to hurry. crossed two villages and towns, and finally rushed to the outside of Yingdu on the third watch. By this time it was already dark as ink, and the gates of the city were closed, so I had to rest outside the city for the night, and then enter the city again tomorrow morning.

Not far from the city of Yingdu, there is an official post, called Zeyang Station, which is for officials to rest at the earliest, for example, foreign officials come to the capital by order, and the city gate is closed when it is late, so they will be arranged to rest in this official post for a while. Of course, ordinary civilians do not have such treatment, so some people have built some straw huts around Zeyangyi for rest, selling food and accommodation. Of course, these grass huts are not free, thirty copper shells for one night! This is not cheap for poor civilians, but they are still full every night!

Those who can't even live in a straw hut have to sleep outside on the spot.

When Chu Qing came to Zeyangyi, not to mention the inside of the grass shed, there was no open space even in the open field around the grass hut, and the grass shed was full of people inside and outside! There were also people under the nearby trees! Chu Qing had to look for a suitable place to rest on the periphery, and after looking for a long time, he finally found a tree with no one in a corner not far away, and sat down. He still held a few leftover wild fruits picked on the road in his hand, ate them in three or two bites, threw the pits aside, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and began to nap.

This day was too tiring, and it didn't take long for Chu Qing to fall asleep.

It's almost time for the fourth watch.

Chu Qing was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly felt that someone was pushing him, "Wake up, wake up!" He forcibly endured sleepiness and opened his eyes for a while, the black light was blind, and he only saw two figures in front of him, one fat and one thin, among which the fat man was holding a sharp thing against his chest, and then the faint moonlight glanced at it, it was a sharp stubble!

Chu Qing woke up in an instant, completely sleepy, and said, "Two big brothers, two heroes, if you have something to say!"

The fat man who took the wooden stubble against Chu Qing replied in a rough voice: "We are all good at talking, otherwise you won't wake up at all, you know?"

Chu Qing nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know!" It turned out that he had encountered a robbery.

The fat man said, "Take out something valuable!"

Chu Qing's tears were about to fall, and he said: "Big brother! Look at it, look at me, I'm just such a pair of coarse and linen shorts, and I still have more than 800 patches, and I don't even have a piece of dry food! I don't have the next meal, I go to the field every day to pick sour fruits and pull grass to eat! I carry a bundle of grass into the city and detain me! I can't exchange all my belongings for a copper! I am homeless! I am homeless! I live a day is a day! I ...... it."

The fat man hurriedly stopped Chu Qing: "Don't say it! It's so pitiful!" He turned to the thin man and said, "Second son, what else do we have to eat?"

The thin man replied dumbfoundedly: "We, we still have two and a half pieces of gnocchi." ”

The fat man said, "Bring me the half!"

The thin man groped in his arms a few times, felt a black bump, and handed it to the fat man. The fat man took it and put it back in Chu Qing's hand: "Brother, take it!" After speaking, without waiting for Chu Qing to speak, he got up and led the thin man away, disappearing into the night.

Chu Qing held half a piece of black bump, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "These two people's hearts are really good." I don't have anything to eat, and I still give to others, I am really a bandit with a conscience. Good people!" I wanted to chase after them and give them two pieces of curse silver, but I couldn't find them anymore, so I had to give up.

Pinching half of the black bump, Chu Qing leaned on the root of the tree and fell asleep again.

After sleeping for a while, I felt someone pushing me again: "Wake up, wake up!"

Chu Qing opened his eyes and saw that it seemed to be the thin man from Fang Cai. Strangely, I saw that he seemed to be wearing a short shirt, and now only his pants remained.

The thin man said, "That, that, what, can you give me back the gnocchi?"

Chu Qing was a little stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The thin man said: "Just now, our two pieces of dough were robbed by someone else, tomorrow, tomorrow there will be no food to eat!"

Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry a little, dare to love these two robbers and let others rob them? For the sake of the food they sent to themselves just now, help them. So, Chu Qing took out a piece of curse silver from his belt, stuffed it into the hair gnocchi without a trace, and handed the hair gnocchi over: "Give!"

The thin man took the gnocchi and left with great gratitude.

Chu Qing felt a little embarrassed, this kind of robber was really too rare. When the thin man walked away, Chu Qing squinted again. But Chu Qing didn't fall asleep this time. After squinting for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and thought: No, I have to sleep in a different place, otherwise the two robbers will find out the curse silver I have stuffed in my hair gnocchi, and they will know that I have money on me, what if they come back and harm me?

You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people! Thinking of this, Chu Qing immediately stood up.

Where to go?

There was nothing good to go around, and as soon as he looked up, Chu Qing found that the branches of this tree were quite thick, so he climbed onto the tree, found a comfortable branch, and leaned on it.

After a while, the fat man and the thin man really came again, this time both of them were holding sharp stubble in their hands! The two of them turned around under the tree and found that Chu Qing had already left, and muttered for a long time before quietly leaving again.

If I hadn't been clever, I would not have seen the sun tomorrow! If I had known that I shouldn't have lost my money!

People's hearts are fickle, and good and evil are hard to decide!

This night, Chu Qing on the branch of the tree also failed to sleep peacefully, and he was worried. At dawn, I opened my sleepy eyes in a crisp birdsong. In the morning light, Chu Qing lay down from the branches, shook off the dew on his body, rubbed his shoulders and backs that were hurt by the branches, stretched his waist, and rubbed the dark circles under his eyes.

The merchants who came and went in Zeyang Station were already ready to set off, and the people were full of people, so it was not lively.

Chu Qing stepped on the busy official road, followed the crowd for five miles, and saw the city gate of Yingdu from afar!

Before coming, because Suicheng's impression of Chu Qing was too backward, he didn't have high expectations for Yingdu in his heart. However, when I saw it at this time, I couldn't help but sigh: What a capital!
