Chapter 18 Eating Spicy Ridge Huang Ming
Bai Minyu, who had not walked out of the mountains for three days, did not look anxious, but walked more and more slowly, and even had time to rest in the trees in the afternoon for more than an hour.
Just catch a few stream fish, squeeze out the internal organs, scrape off the scales, hang them on your belt to dry, enough to eat for a day or two, and when you encounter a deep stream, you can take a bath. At first, Bai Minyu was worried that the dough would fall off when it was exposed to water, but who had ever wanted to enter the water several times, not only did it not show signs of falling off, but it became more and more integrated with his own skin, and it was no longer as awkward as when it was first glued.
This face is like taking root on Bai Minyu's face, take a careful photo on the water, and you will find that the original handsome and frivolous him is gone, and the young man he presents is so... Ordinary, featureless face with a pair of small eyes, wide nose, lying nose, small mouth and thick lips, but Bai Minyu is very satisfied, because the ordinariness of this face seems to be out of the four family heirloom crafts are not ordinary.
This face looks at least like the young man who is about twenty years old, and it does not match Bai Minyu's current age, but Bai Minyu has a slender figure and thick shoulders and arms, so he only needs to have less of a young man's look and cleverness, and more of a young man's calmness and responsibility, which is one of the reasons why Bai Minyu walks slowly.
Of course, there is another reason for going slowly, and that is the need for an identity.
Dad said that my uncle is the emperor of the soil on that Xiaoming Island, so I am the little prince who has fallen so far?
No, no, it's too big, and the identity is related to Xiaoming Island, so it's best not to have a trace of involvement.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Bai Minyu finally saw the first smoke in the Tianze Continent, and when he got closer, he found that it was an elderly couple cooking on a fire under two thatched huts, boiling millet with some kind of boiled animal offal, Bai Minyu stepped forward to salute the two old men, and asked if they could ask for a bowl to satisfy their hunger.
The two old men looked at the young man who looked good-looking, and after looking at each other, a trace of uneasiness flashed in their eyes, and finally the old lady asked Bai Minyu: "Young man, what's your name?" You came to this deep mountain and old forest to do something, listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a local. β
Bai Minyu whimpered a little, "Auntie, my name is Huang Ming, I came from the sea from the north, the old and young in the family were originally working as long-term workers to transport goods on the sea, a tsunami overturned the owner's boat, I was holding a piece of wood to the shore alive, as for the family, I searched for two days on the beach, and I never found anything." After speaking, he looked in the direction of the coast and said nothing.
The old man dispelled his doubts, and was convinced of Bai Minyu's words, "That's right, that's right!" It's been so windy these days! Listening to Lao Jia on the mountainside in front of him, there are a lot of big fish stranded on the coast, but now I rush over to pick them up, I'm afraid the fish are smelly, this damn tsunami. β
Bai Minyu hurriedly said yes, looked at the pot, the old couple understood, brought out a new bowl, and handed Bai Minyu a bowl after it was full.
The old lady looked at Bai Minyu who was gobbling up, and felt sorry in her heart, what a good child, just look at it! has suffered an accident, and being able to survive is really an eye-opening creation, and it is a great blessing.
Bai Minyu didn't say much after eating, wiped his mouth and walked to the mountains and forests with the old man's firewood knife, half an hour later, Bai Minyu not only tied back more than ten catties of firewood with his belt, but also grabbed a pheasant that looked like two or three catties in his hand, which made the two old men happy.
After lunch, Bai Minyu asked the two old men about the customs and customs nearby, and then said goodbye to the two elders and said that they were going to return to their hometown on the road.
According to the two old men, this place is called Eat Spicy Ridge, the soil is suitable for growing a very spicy taste of Chaotian pepper, the local people live in the mountains, and there is no village, in order to be more convenient to plant this kind of pepper as a livelihood, a pair of children of the old man, they often come and go between the western town and the Spicy Ridge, and now they have become a family.
Continue to walk west for about 40 miles, and finally saw the only local town, outsiders are basically to buy Chaotian pepper, over time, it pressed out a flat road to the outside, Bai Minyu will be in the mountains to catch two pheasants in the mountains in a butcher for a little copper money, and in a cloth shop to buy some black rag scraps, she took a needle and a little black line, before leaving the town and bought some fried noodles and put them in the cloth bag that the old lady gave him, after a glance back, wrapped in the stars and strode to continue westward.
At night, Bai Minyu walked along the road, pacing and repeatedly imitating the tone and tone of the townspeople's speech, practicing over and over again as if he were nervous. In the early morning of the second day, Bai Minyu saw that there was no one around, jumped on a tall tree, took off the tiger head shoes that had accompanied him for more than ten years and began to sew and mend, after all, he was already a twenty-year-old young man, and wearing a child-like shoe would inevitably attract attention.
The significance of these shoes to him is second only to his life, or it is not an exaggeration to say that his current life is given by these shoes, in addition to covering the qi, this shoe will also adjust the size with the growth of his feet, which can be described as infinitely useful.
The one on his left foot was no longer the same as before after being repaired, and Bai Minyu was extremely satisfied, so he picked up the one on his right foot again.
Who would have thought that this young man who was mending in the trees would bring such a big change to the northern region of the Tianze Continent in the next ten years?
In the next two years, Bai Minyu assumed the alias of Huang Ming, and wandered along the border of the three continents, dealing with nothing more than some walkers carrying the burden of wontons, tea doctors walking in the hall, shuttling scouts and some horse thieves begging for a living on the tip of a knife.
As for the monks, they have seen it twice. Once it was a white-clothed disciple wearing the costume of the Sect of Inscription in the very high place in the sky, this kind of height mortal was extremely difficult to see, but he couldn't hide it from Bai Minyu.
Another time happened on Huang Ming's fifteenth birthday.
Quite a surprise. It's a good show of uneven distribution of spoils. Bai Minyu couldn't go to the town that day, so he lived in the forest as always, it was dark, he casually found a cave, confirmed that there were no wild beasts entrenched in the cave and then fell asleep, about two watches, the sound of hurried footsteps came towards the cave, Bai Minyu, who was lying on his side, naturally heard it clearly, one straightened up and touched the stick around him and walked quickly around the back of the cave, the footsteps were from far and near, Bai Minyu held his breath and listened, about three people. is either a good practitioner of light skills, or a rare monk.
"Big brother, there's a cave ahead, why don't you rest before leaving?" A rugged voice preached.
"Yes, big brother, this has already flowed across the river, and when it reaches the territory of the Three Continents, the ideas behind it won't be so tight, right? If I don't take out some spirit beads to warm up my qi, I'm afraid I won't be able to run. A shrill sound came from the point where the footsteps were more fragmented.
"Sure enough, it's a monk!" Bai Minyu thought secretly and slowly retreated.
"Then take a short break and continue on your way in half an hour." The leader hesitated for a moment, then led the way to the cave.
The three of them didn't say much, and they jumped into the cave after a few steps, but fortunately, Bai Minyu's cautious personality did not light a fire in the cave, otherwise they might have been quietly touched by the three of them with the firelight and removed.
Bai Minyu's movement backwards was very light, with tiger head shoes, the foot qi function could well cover the sound of falling to the ground, and after retreating for more than ten zhang, he jumped onto a tree trunk and listened to the movement inside.
"Big brother, give me two spirit beads," the third brother with a thin voice opened his mouth first, "It's okay for the second brother to use the light body talisman, I use the qi machine to urge the talisman to consume a lot." β
"Third brother, you can use two spirit beads, but you are a second-trick monk, and the aura that can be absorbed by the trick points after splitting the spirit beads is limited, I'm afraid that the aura that can be converted into less than one percent of the qi, so let's save some for the eldest brother."
"The second brother is outside, the third brother is the most critical point of this matter, not to mention two spirit beads, even if I take one more from these objects, I have no objection."
After only two sounds of glass breaking, there was not the slightest sound in the cave.
Fortunately, Bai Minyu was extremely patient, and after a quarter of an hour, there was a sound in the cave, and the sharp voice of the old third man came out: "Big brother, second brother, although I helped you steal this treasure box from the Lu family, but what is inside, you two have never revealed too much, since there is no one around now, can you let the little brother open his eyes?" β
"Said that it was good to open it again when the broken bridge set was opened, why are you in a hurry?" The second child with this rough voice seems to be at odds with the third child, and has been singing against the third child.
"It's okay to see, the second child may have only heard me talk about two mouths, and he hasn't seen this thing with his own eyes." The eldest brother also seemed a little proud, and said these words with a smile.
"Huh? It's this! The third child was the first to shout, looking extremely excited.
"Hmph, the eldest brother didn't talk to you in detail in advance, just because I was afraid that your leaky mouth would not have a door, and the news would be leaked, so the Lu family would be wary before you started."
"The two brothers are optimistic, these are two spirit coins, and they are in excellent condition, I'll put them away first just in case."
"Huh? Big brother let me see it again, I, Meng Donkey, have never seen anything like that in most of my life. β
"Don't worry, when the Broken Bridge Assembly will let you see, when the time comes, one can be exchanged for a hundred spirit beads, and there will be a premium, as for this token, I plan to give it to a friend, so that he can open the heir of the three tricks to worship the mountain gate, and with the location of his tricks, the possibility of becoming an inner disciple is very great, and when the time comes, Lao Er promises to take out two hundred spirit beads a year to honor me, until I die. At that time... Yes! What are you doing, second child! β
"Big brother, I'm really sorry, this brand is of great use to me, so I won't bother your old man to plan!"
"The third brother saves me, and after he cleans me up, he will definitely kill you." The one who was the big brother seemed to have been hit hard. Speech is fast and urgent.
"Big brother is really good at laughing, don't you know that he is my own big brother?" The man who was called the third brother no longer replied in a sharp voice, but continued in a soft voice: "Lu Jia, my eldest brother has been with you for more than ten years and was born and died, how did you treat him? In order to help me open my mind, I have been asking you for exercises, but you want to torture him by rewarding him with a mantra after completing one thing, do you know that my eldest brother has wanted to take your dog's life for a long time? β
Dou Mien ascended to Mi Feud. Bai Minyu thought to himself, it is estimated that there will be a drama of killing people and crying big brothers.
At this moment, there was a turning point in the cave, and Bai Minyu, who was "watching" lively, heard the second pig-like howl again, "Ahhhh His talisman is poisonous, don't come here, little brother! β
"Humph! Want to kill me and swallow this token, and you're not afraid of bursting your stomach? Ahem..."
At this time, a man with two short swords in his back was the first to rush out of the cave, followed by a strong man in red and a tall and thin young man in a short green dress, the young man hurriedly shouted: "Brother, don't move, I'll chase that old killer!" β
With Lu Jia's skills alone, how can the strong man rest assured that his younger brother will go alone, just run desperately and stop talking, as long as he can take this token for his younger brother, their Meng family will have hope.
Bai Minyu was still thinking about the broken bridge set that they had just mentioned twice, and he restrained his expression that it was not a big deal to see the excitement, jumped off the tree and chased after him, hanging far behind the three of them, and his foot strength was still surplus.
In the past two years, Bai Minyu has not fallen behind in his cultivation, but according to Yu Si's methods, his practice has not improved much, and there has been no sign of opening up new tricks for a long time, which also makes him secretly anxious. I can't help but think that Lao Yu praised himself as an unborn genius before, is it wrong?
After chasing five or six miles, the man in red was the first to fall down with poisonous hair, and he didn't say anything before he died, just pointed in front of him. The man in green named Meng Donkey whimpered, and continued to chase forward with a breath.
In Bai Minyu's eyes, Lu Jia's body staggered and ran not fast due to excessive blood loss, since he saw the man in red falling, he had to save his strength to fight with Meng Donkey here, sure enough, Lu Jia, who didn't run a few steps, turned around and was a fireball talisman, and without waiting for the fireball to get close to the man in green, he took out a talisman similar to a sickle from his waist and swam in front of Meng Donkey.
The donkey also expected that the old man who had given orders would give it a go, and cleverly dodged the fireball with a tumbling roll, which hit a tree trunk and burst into flames, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.
In this way, Bai Minyu, who was a hundred zhang away, could see it more clearly, the two short swords behind the old man were inserted into the waist extremely viciously, but they were not too deep inside, and they should have been blocked by the inner armor A lot of strength, I saw the sickle in the old man's hand slashing at Meng Donkey who had just rolled up again and again, and when he saw that he was about to be dodged by the agile Meng Donkey again, there was a thin silver-white chain under the sickle, and it was wrapped around Meng Donkey again.
Meng Donkey is worthy of being a thief, and with the help of kicking the trees around him, he can avoid the entanglement, turn an arc in the air, and land steadily in the place where the old man is three feet away. The old man no longer hid his secrets, took out two black glass ball-shaped items, and threw them at Meng Donkey, how dare Meng Donkey take this kind of poison pill that the old man became famous for, and once again dodged it smartly, the poison pill exploded on the trunk behind Meng Donkey, and a layer of black fog was instantly filled around it, Meng Donkey held his breath and rushed out, throwing two flying knives at the old man, the old man opened one with a chain, and the other did not hit the old man, but flew to the trunk behind him on the side of the old man's head, and the knife with the handle submerged into the trunk.
The old man snorted coldly: "The strength is more than enough, and the head is insufficient, just you waste Liu Ji's cultivation, what can you do if you get the token, don't you go to other people's big sects to sweep the floor and eat ashes?" β
At this time, Lu Jia forced Meng Donkey to the downwind, and then pulled out two poison pills and threw them at Meng Donkey, using his fingertip qi to guide the two poison pills, and when the two poison pills collided when Meng Donkey was a foot away, the detonated poison powder blew to Meng Donkey by the gas machine and wind discharged by Lu Jia, Meng Donkey was so shocked that all his hair stood up, and he rolled backwards hard, but he still couldn't avoid the poisonous wind. Meng Donkey's heart was fierce and began to rush forward, and at the same time he threw a flying knife at Lu Jia's faΓ§ade, and then hit a stone on the flying knife that was slapped on the ground by Lu Jia before, and the flying knife spun and flew towards Lu Jia's side.
At this moment, the mutation was rampant, and the flying knife that crossed Lu Jia's side almost cut off his head, it turned out that this flying knife and the flying knife nailed to the tree before were a pair of flying knives linked with sharp gold wires that were almost invisible to the naked eye, and they were the real killing weapons created by Master Qin of Liu Jizhong's Jintuo Taiqing Gate.
Thanks to Lu Jia's experience in a hundred battles, he quickly shrank his neck after discovering the golden light reflected by the firelight, and instinctively retreated, and the golden silk rubbed Lu Jia's chin and directly cut off his lips and nose, and the pain made him almost faint.
"Ahhh Lu Jia couldn't take care of the crumbling Meng Donkey anymore, took out a green talisman and put it on his face, covered his face with blood, and swayed it and ran into the distance.
Bai Minyu, who had been hanging from a distance and watching, stepped on the branch, and the whole person flew out like a pelican that catapulted into the water, until one foot landed on the next foothold, and Bai Minyu stepped out of more than ten zhang in this step.
After a few breaths, Bai Minyu, who covered his nostrils with a face towel, had come to Meng Donkey, but his eyes were still locked on Lu Jia, who was stumbling in front of him, looking at Meng Donkey who was lying on the ground and losing half a move, and asked softly, "Do you have any last words?" β
Meng Donkey gasped, knowing that the deadline was approaching, inky black blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, opened his eyes and shook his head, and asked in a breath, "Childe is the Lu family?" β
"No, but I can make a deal with you, you tell me the location of the Broken Bridge Set, and I promise that Lu Jia won't be able to walk there with the token happily."
This was said very exquisitely, and when he thought that Lu Lao'er couldn't be the rich man who earned the two hundred spirit beads every year, Meng Donkey smiled.
"Does Childe want to avenge me, or do you want to be the fisherman who fights with the cranes and mussels?"
"I don't hide it, I want to try to be that fisherman, and after the matter is completed, I will return here to bury you and your eldest brother, and I will never break my word."
"Then thank you first, please help me and my eldest brother be buried in a cave." As soon as Meng Donkey thought of being able to be buried with his eldest brother who had been separated for more than ten years, he no longer tried it. Briefly informed Bai Minyu of the location of the broken bridge set.
"More than 600 miles northwest of this place, there is a bottomless cliff, and there is a broken bridge at the cliff, you can see it when you get there."
Bai Minyu nodded, pulled out the flying knife in the trunk, and sure enough, as he guessed, there was a golden wire buckled at the end, and it was connected to another one, but this kind of skill of controlling the flying knife could not be practiced in a day or two, so he first wrapped the silk thread and the flying knife with the cloth in his hand, and did not look at Meng Donkey, who swallowed his last breath, and chased in the direction of the old man.
