Chapter Eighty-Seven: Blessings and Misfortunes Coexist
In the cover of layers of trees, Zhang Lifeng and Yan Tieshou found their way up, this is a forbidden land that has not been set foot for decades, and it is also a magical place full of legends. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After walking about a stick of incense, the two saw a bright color, and Zhang Lifeng hurriedly looked at it, and it turned out to be a longan grass growing in the grass.
This longan grass is shaped like a weed, but the top of the branch has a longan-sized particle, which can emit yellow light, and it can be seen in the night road, like the light of the eyes of the earth dragon, so it is called longan.
This longan can be described as an elixir that can not be encountered in the land of Kyushu, and it is a raw material for refining a variety of pills, but because it likes to live under the foot of the mountain, and it has no self-preservation power, it is easy to be plagued by wild beasts, insects and birds in its infancy.
As soon as he saw this thing, Yan Tieshou was very happy, and he stepped forward to pick it, but was pulled by Zhang Lifeng, "Slow, this longan grass was born in such a simple place, there is no way to protect ourselves, and we are not the first batch of people to come up the mountain, this longan grass can survive to this day, it must be strange, we should be careful." ”
"That's right, it makes sense. As soon as he heard this, Yan Tieshou retreated, took out an iron sword from the Qiankun bag, and slowly tossed the longan grass, but the person was far away from Zhang Lifeng.
Just when the iron sword was about to approach the longan grass, it was too late to say that it was too fast, and a green light flew out of the soil, hitting the iron sword fiercely, and the momentum was so great that the sword body buzzed, and the green light couldn't hang on the iron sword.
It was only at this time that Zhang Lifeng and Yan Tieshou saw clearly that the green light hanging on the iron sword turned out to be a green snake, with a dark green back, a white scaly belly, a triangular head, and mung bean eyes, and it was biting the iron sword to death, as long as Yan Tieshou was still shaking the iron sword, it would never let go.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Lifeng and Yan Tieshou were both afraid, Zhang Lifeng pulled out the firing line sword, and wanted to cut the snake with a sword, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by Yan Tieshou and said, "Wait a minute, this is a green rope snake, but it is very precious, and it is more valuable than longan grass." ”
Zhang Lifeng looked at this snake, except for being fierce and slender, he didn't see anything precious, so he asked curiously, "Iron hand, what treasure is there on this snake, more precious than that longan grass?"
Yan Tieshou turned the iron sword a few times with great interest, and the green rope snake bit the sword body and did not let go, and wrapped around the sword body a few times, Yan Tieshou took the sword back and let Zhang Lifeng watch it closely.
Zhang Lifeng was able to see the whole picture of the green rope snake clearly, only to see its two yellow primordial eyes looking at the iron sword, teeth biting the sword body, with the secretion of poison in its mouth, the sharp sword body of the iron sword began to slowly melt into molten iron, and was slowly sucked into the mouth of the green rope snake.
Zhang Lifeng shouted uncertainly, "It's eating the sword, no, it's eating iron?"
Yan Tieshou smiled and said, "Yes, it is eating iron, this green rope snake also has a name, called the iron-eating snake, because the venom it secretes can melt ordinary iron and stone, so that it can swallow like drinking water, if it is fed refined iron for a long time, its body will become harder and harder, but it still maintains the flexibility and tenacity of the snake body, it is an excellent material for refining treasures, but this snake is hidden in the soil, extremely poisonous, it is difficult for ordinary people to catch, it is easier to die, and it is a treasure that can not be found in our forging world." ”
"In this way, it can be regarded as your blessing with an iron hand, but this snake is so ferocious, there is a place to settle it. "Zhang Lifeng has no research on forging a piece, and Yan Tieshou is also a good person, it is reasonable to be reasonable, this snake must belong to Yan Tieshou, Zhang Lifeng is happy to do this favor.
Yan Tieshou smiled, took out a small yellow bag with a unicorn pattern printed on it, put the green rope snake into the bag along with the iron sword, and said, "Zhang Lifeng, you don't know, we cultivators, in order to capture some rare beasts, naturally made some beast raising bags according to their characteristics, among which the beast breeding bag of the Hundred Beast Gate is the most useful. Speaking of good luck, a few months ago, a senior brother gave me this animal bag in exchange for a big knife for me, and it happened to be used. ”
After Yan Tieshou finished speaking, he put the beast bag into his sleeve, and then remembered that the two of them came, and it was really not good for him to collect the treasure alone, so he couldn't help but say, "I'm ashamed, our senior brothers and sisters came, how can I let one of them reap the benefits, and please accept this longan grass, if there is any shortcoming, I am willing to compensate." ”
"Where, where, this longan grass is enough. Zhang Lifeng, who has been in the shopping mall for a long time, understands that this is polite, and if you are polite to each other, you can trust if you have affection. If there is really an ignorant person who asks for compensation, then there will be no next cooperation between the two.
Besides, the longan grass has a greater effect on Zhang Lifeng, so he accepted it easily.
The two of them talked and moved forward, and came to a conclusion, maybe there are a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures here, but after all, there are many cultivators who have come in early, and these heavenly and earthly treasures can be preserved, and it is very likely that they are all like this longan grass - guarded by dangerous beasts!
But what made these two people puzzled was that it stands to reason that it is also a very common situation in the outside world for dangerous alien beasts to guard the heavenly and earthly treasures, but it is really too abnormal for every heavenly and earthly treasure to be guarded by alien beasts.
Whether this is a natural phenomenon unique to this isolated island or someone did it on purpose, Zhang Lifeng and Yan Tieshou are not sure, but in this strange environment, they can only take one step at a time, resign themselves to fate, and go with the flow.
A dark shadow looked at their distant figures and commented on their actions, especially Zhang Lifeng's movements, "Guess the danger from common sense, see the subtleties, and be smart." ”
Along the way, they encountered two treasures of three-leaf red lingzhi and humanoid He Shou Wu, although they were not priceless, but they were also very precious, guarded by highly poisonous earthworms and grimaceous monkeys respectively.
Zhang Lifeng and Yan Tieshou had the experience of the last time, resolved them one by one, successfully killed the strange beasts, took the medicinal materials, one person and one plant, and went on the road again.
After walking for three or five miles, he climbed to the mountainside, where there was a protruding flat land, surrounded by six cultivators, and when he saw Zhang Lifeng and He Yan coming over, they all held the weapons in their hands and looked at them with a defensive look.
Suddenly encountered six hostile people in this woods, Zhang Lifeng and Yan Tieshou were also nervous, and secretly touched their weapons, in the end, Zhang Lifeng had seen a lot of scenes, and squeezed out a little smile and said, "Fellow Daoists, I'm bothering, our brothers are just passing by, there are many treasures here, our brothers have no intention of fighting with you brothers for something, it's better to say goodbye, don't hurt the peace, what do you think?"
"Hmph!" said a cultivator in a purple robe, "Now that's a nice thing to say, who can guarantee that you won't stab you in the back while we take the treasure." ”
Zhang Lifeng's face darkened suddenly, he was too good to speak and was easy to be pinched as a bun, and said coldly, "Then what do you want to do with this fellow Daoist, how about you tear your face and fight, really when our brothers are afraid of you?"
It is undoubtedly extremely irrational to take two enemies and six enemies, but Zhang Lifeng is going to put on this posture, so that he can occupy a more advantageous position in the next negotiations, and he still has a way back, after all, he is in the enchantment, and he can't fly in the air, so he and Yan Tieshou will run away, and he still doesn't believe that the six people will definitely catch up.
