Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Shadow of the Poison Valley
ps: Tomorrow two days after a business trip, the update time may be a little earlier and a little later o(n_n)o
The most hateful thing is that Qin Yue herself had to buy things from Yang Xiu......
"That ......" The green-eyed girl hesitated a little, not knowing how to speak.
"Oh, you want a Dao talisman, which kind?" Yang Xiu said.
"Qi Charm, the best kind of ......," the green-eyed girl replied subconsciously.
"No problem, two tail feathers of a carrion. Yang Xiu skillfully took out two Dao talismans from his arms and shook them at the green-eyed girl.
The green-eyed girl had long known the price code of these Dao runes, and subconsciously took out something to exchange with Yang Xiu, and in a blink of an eye, Yang Xiu had already turned to the crowd to promote other Dao runes. The girl clenched her fists in annoyance, her big furry tail wagging non-stop, and snorted to show her disdain for someone.
The green-eyed girl is called Qin Yue, Yang Xiu has long known and knows that she is the pearl of Emperor Qin's palm, and her identity is extremely noble. However, business is business, and Yang Xiu will never discount it because of the identity of the other party, this is a matter of principle.
After Yang Xiu walked out of the small courtyard of the academy, Qin Yue suddenly remembered that his father had ordered something, and hurriedly chased him out of the courtyard, looked at Yang Xiu, who was looking back at him, and said, "That...... My father told you to attend the moon viewing meeting of the Warrior Festival. ”
Yang Xiu was stunned when he heard this. The so-called martial arts festival is a unique festival in the wilderness, on August 15 every year, people gather together or test martial arts, or chant poems, gather together to drink and carnival, the grand degree is no less than the Spring Festival of the human race.
Qin Yue didn't know why her father invited Yang Xiu. The people present at the Wuyong Festival were all powerful from all sides, and some of the big demon beasts who were good friends with Qin Cheng would also come, and it stands to reason that Yang Xiu, an ordinary academy teacher, was not qualified to participate.
However, deep down in Qin Yue's heart, she hoped that Yang Xiu would be able to attend. People in the wilderness admire people who have the ability, although this teacher is occasionally out of shape and his speech is annoying, but at least he is much more interesting than Old Master Shen.
And the fairy font written by this guy is so beautiful...... Qin Yue wanted to bid for a few words several times, but in the end, she couldn't open her mouth.
"Well, I see,"
Yang Xiu nodded. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you princess for reminding me just now." ”
Qin Yue was stunned, and immediately pursed her lips with a small face. "Who needs your thanks." ”
Meng Lu saw it on the side, and said that the princess is too arrogant, my master smiled and talked to you, why are you like this. But Qin Yue
Turn around and leave quickly. Yang Xiu looked at Qin Yue's back. Suddenly, I patted my head and remembered something important - it's August 15 soon, and the six-stemmed grass seems to be blooming, right?
Six-stemmed grass is a plant endemic to the wilderness, which is scarce in number and blooms every autumn. The six-stemmed grass before and after the flowering time is the most vigorous when the vitality is at its highest, and the stems of this spirit grass are cold-resistant, fire-resistant, and tough, and it is one of the most suitable materials for making puppet tendons and joints that Yang Xiu knows.
It seems that it is time to ask the college for a leave.
The absurd incident reminded Yang Xiu that someone in the academy deliberately sent Absurd to find trouble because he was not pleasing to the eye, or was there another conspiracy behind it, or was there still someone who doubted his identity? We must strengthen our strength as soon as possible, no matter how ambitious the goal is, it will be in vain if we do not have enough strength to protect ourselves.
Cultivation and puppetry, both hands should be hard. Only by improving your strength as soon as possible can you leave this wilderness and help the master~
......
Six-stemmed grass is scarce and extremely difficult to find. Fortunately, the puppet classics sent by the Qin Emperor are all-encompassing, from the foundation of puppetry to the legendary puppeteers of ancient times, including the records of the place where the six-stemmed grass grows.
One hundred miles southeast of Qincheng, there is a hundred poison valleys, which happens to be in the outer no-man's land of the twelve villages of Qincheng. The valley is cool and humid. Poison is rampant, and powerful beasts are shunning the place. lest I be bitten and killed innocently.
There was a soft sound in the dense grass, and a moment later, a long gray snake slowly swam out of the grass. If you look closely, you can see that this "snake" has no mouth, the eyes are two pitch-black gems, there is no reflection in the dark jungle, and the long body is divided into dozens of segments, delicate and mysterious.
A poisonous insect that looks like a caterpillar but has sharp teeth is very interested in the gray snake, opens its mouth and bites down the snake's body, making a "click" crisp sound, it seems that it has not tasted anything, and the big mouth slowly closes to restore the harmless caterpillar image of humans and animals, and crawls into the grass with a stretch and contraction.
There were still twenty such gray snakes within a radius of two zhang, and Yang Xiu and Meng Lu were in the middle of the snake group, slowly advancing. These little snakes are all puppets made by Yang Xiu, they have no combat power, but they are slender and sensitive, and they are strange soldiers who dodge poisonous insects and search for six-stemmed grass.
Meng Lu and Yang Xiu each had a yellow talisman on their heads, which kept flying up and down with their breathing, which was very strange in the deep and quiet valley.
"Sir, Elder Guo said that we can't come to the Valley of Hundred Poisons until we have to, aren't we a little reckless......" Meng Lu whispered, turning his head from time to time to look overhead, for fear that a poisonous snake would fall from the top of the tree and burrow into his neckline.
"Rest assured, there are insect repellent charms and puppets to escort you, and it's absolutely safe. Yang Xiu replied casually, his expression was very confident.
As soon as he stepped into the Valley of Hundred Poisons, Yang Xiu was also startled by the poisonous insects and poisonous beasts that were ubiquitous in the valley. On the surface, it seems to be fine, but when you step on the grass, you can step on two centipedes that are about a foot long, three mosquitoes the size of sparrows and four poisonous toads with long bags, if it weren't for Yang Xiu's neckline, the frightened Meng Lu estimated that he would be able to run back to Qincheng in one breath.
In this environment, the insect repellent charm that Yang Xiu learned in an ancient book greatly surprised the two. The two of them each posted a picture on their heads with the mentality of trying it out, but they didn't expect that the insects were avoided, and the whole world was quiet.
This kind of Dao talisman is cumbersome to write, and the required talisman paper materials are also very special, and Yang Xiu also took a lot of effort to make four of them, and finally it was not in vain. It's a pity that this kind of insect repellent charm is disposable, and it will become invalid when it is attached to a person and then taken off, which is very valuable.
Along the way, the two of them gradually went deep into the hinterland of the Hundred Poison Valley, patiently searching for the six-stemmed grass. Half an hour passed, and the two of them were already sweating profusely, Yang Xian used the White Deer Sword to push away the dense bushes, and his movements were abrupt, and he raised his head suddenly.
Meng Lu in the back didn't pay attention to hit Yang Xiu's buttocks, "Ouch!" covered his nose, "Sir, your ass is so hard......"
Halfway through Menglu's words, Yang Xiu grabbed Menglu's collar like lightning and jumped over, jumped lightly onto the canopy, and made a silent gesture at Menglu.
The jungle was silent, without the slightest abnormality, but Yang Xiu pressed Menglu's shoulder and waited patiently. After about two pillars of incense, the bushes under the feet of the two slowly parted, and out of the darkness crawled out a huge leopard covered in black, which was a head taller than Monlu on all fours, its fur shining like black satin, and its streamlined muscles were full of explosive power.
The two were silent, Yang Xiu was frowning and observing, Meng Lu was nervous and didn't dare to move, and after a while, the giant leopard disappeared into the jungle silently. After a while, a giant python with the thickness of a bucket and a nameless fierce bird with wings spread out two feet passed above the feet of the two of them, making people dizzy.
"What's the matter, aren't we here from the Valley of Hundred Poisons?" Munru muttered speechlessly, already numb from fright.
Yang Xiu also wondered in his heart, the Hundred Poison Valley has always been a forbidden place for all kinds of fierce beasts, why is it so abnormal today? Thinking of this, Yang Xiu and the others quickly left the canopy and moved quickly in the direction of the center of the Hundred Poison Valley, which is also the direction in which many fierce beasts are advancing, wanting to find out.
"Sir, go on, didn't you see that big mosquito just now? That mouthpiece is longer than my arm!"
"The gathering of all the beasts is definitely different, and you can't miss the opportunity. ”
"Sir, you have a stiff body, and the demon mosquito wants to suck blood for a while, but you want to stand in front of me to protect me. ”
“...... You are a little conscienceless, you know what it means to respect the old and love the young!"
......
The two of them walked all the way and found that the poisonous insects and poisons in the valley seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared without a trace, and the uneasiness in Yang Xiu's heart became more and more obvious. After advancing for another while, Yang Xiu stopped again, and finally noticed something unusual.
Reiki in the Jungle...... How thick does it seem to be?
As it gradually deepened, as Yang Xiu thought, the more inward the aura became, accompanied by an uneasy jump. Yang Xiu was even more shocked, under normal circumstances, the spiritual power of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land was very stable, but now this situation was like an ancient giant beast gasping in the mountains, making the spiritual power between heaven and earth extremely unstable.
Walking among the jungles, Yang Xiu felt that his spiritual power almost formed a whirlwind, and he was restless. Even Meng Lu, who only had a quenching double cultivation, felt that something was wrong, and tightly tugged on Yang Xiu's sleeve, very panicked.
To what extent can this demon beast be cultivated to have this kind of vision?
Yang Xiu's puppet giant eagle had been soaring in the sky, and suddenly let out a sharp chirp. Yang Xiu comprehended and knew that most of the centers of this change were nearby, so he immediately quickened his pace. After advancing two miles further, the two of them suddenly opened up in front of them, and an endless stone mountain appeared in their field of vision!
The whole body of the stone mountain is reddish-brown, and there is no grass, and the whole mountain is a large stone. At the foot of the stone mountain, there is a stone cave that is obviously dug out by hand, the height and width are about two zhang, and the situation inside cannot be seen in the deep darkness.
Yang Xiu knew that this was the deepest part of the Hundred Poison Valley. Usually there are highly poisonous plants here, and ordinary monks can't enter it at all, but today, for some reason, the poisonous insects that are rampant have disappeared, and Yang Xiu and the others have the opportunity to go deeper.
The stone cave looked plain, but Yang Xiu could feel the abundant spiritual power permeating the entrance of the cave, rich like a stream of water, brushing the surface of the body to make people extremely comfortable, relaxed and happy.
Yang Xiu was excited, knowing that there would never be a spiritual vein in this Hundred Poison Valley, so even if there were no ancient spirit beasts in the stone cave, there must be rare treasures, or the best elixir!
"Elder Guo said that there are either strange treasures or fierce beasts in the place where this kind of spiritual power surges, sir, do you want to go and explore the situation first?" Meng Lu took the courage to look into the stone cave and encouraged Yang to cultivate.
Yang Xiu ignored Meng Lu, who was a small ghost, and pulled out the White Deer Sword to find out. At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in the black cave entrance, the speed was extremely fast, and Yang Xiu's eyes were all the while.
Damn, that seems to be ...... A turtle? (To be continued)
