Chapter 012: Soul Crystallization
Shangguan Yunlong followed behind Hei Lao, and came to the bamboo house in the dark night, Hei Lao casually pinched a trick and hit a pile of bamboo segments, and instantly a bright bonfire was lit, and the bamboo segments made a crackling and popping sound in the flames.
In this cold weather, it is also a good choice to be able to bake a fire in front of such a campfire and keep warm.
Shangguan Yunlong and Hei Lao sat close to each other on the ground, stretched out their hands close to the bonfire to keep warm, and there were several howls of beasts in the distance. Now there is no danger, Shangguan Yunlong can finally sit and chat with Hei Lao like a grandfather and grandson.
Shangguan Yunlong asked Hei Lao, "Hei Lao, before you found me, you lived here alone, don't you feel lonely?"
Hei Lao smiled: "Lonely? I've lived here for nearly a thousand years, and I've long forgotten what loneliness feels like." I'm old, and now it's the world of you young people, and I'll grow flowers here, refine medicine or something, and enjoy the joy of family. ”
Shangguan Yunlong suddenly felt a little worthless for Hei Lao in his heart, why didn't a peerless powerhouse like Hei Lao rely on his own strength to create a hegemony?
Why do you need to live in seclusion outside the Three Realms that are isolated from the world, and die alone? If you don't meet yourself, will Hei Lao really continue to spend a thousand years of loneliness in this isolated paradise?
Shangguan Yunlong stretched out his hand and held Hei Lao's hand, as soon as he held Hei Lao's hand, Shangguan Yunlong found that the flesh on Hei Lao's hand was loose, and he was looking at Hei Lao's energetic face, which was probably supported by some kind of secret technique with a rejuvenation effect!
Shangguan Yunlong said a little embarrassed: "Hei Lao, why don't you be my grandfather, with me here, you won't feel lonely!"
The black old man laughed, stretched out his hand and touched Shangguan Yunlong's head, and said, "I can't help it! If you recognize me as your grandfather, your parents will be half dead in the underworld!"
Shangguan Yunlong hurriedly shook his head and said, "How could it be! Dad and Mother won't be angry, if Dad and Mom know in the underworld that I have such a good grandfather as you, they will definitely be very happy!"
After speaking, like a naughty child who loves to be spoiled, he drilled into Hei Lao's arms, and rubbed Hei Lao affectionately.
Hei Lao couldn't stand Shangguan Yunlong's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so he had to give in: "If you want me to be your grandfather, it's okay! But you have to promise me one condition!"
As soon as Shangguan Yunlong heard Hei Lao's words, he raised his head and looked at Hei Lao, and said, "What conditions, as long as I can do it, I will agree!"
Hei Lao smiled and said, "If you can fully practice the Dragon Beast Soul Transformation Technique one day, I will promise you to be your grandfather, how about it?"
Shangguan Yunlong was afraid that Hei Lao would regret it, so he hurriedly agreed: "Okay, I will definitely practice the Dragon Beast Soul Transformation Technique as soon as possible, you are not allowed to regret it!"
Hei Lao smiled: "Do you think I look like the kind of person who doesn't count?"
Shangguan Yunlong stretched out his little thumb and said to Hei Lao: "Let's pull the hook, if anyone regrets it in the future, he will be a cute puppy!"
Hei Lao smiled: "Haha! I won't regret it, how old are you, and you still play this childish game!" As he spoke, he stretched out his little thumb and hooked it with Shangguan Yunlong's little thumb.
Shangguan Yunlong sang the familiar nursery rhyme that could no longer be familiar: 'Hanging on the hook for a hundred years is not allowed to change!' In this way, even if Shangguan Yunlong and Hei Lao made an oath.
At this moment, Shangguan Yunlong's stomach began to gurgle and sing about the empty city plan, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Hehe, I'm hungry!"
Hei Lao began to tease Shangguan Yunlong, and said hesitantly: "Hehe, I'm hungry!
As soon as Shangguan Yunlong heard what Hei Lao said about eating, his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Hei Lao directly, in Shangguan Yunlong, who is now in a state of hunger, that Hei Lao is a living chicken leg that can walk and move in Shangguan Yunlong's eyes.
Hei Lao continued to joke with Shangguan Yunlong: "Then do you want to eat bamboo tube barbecue, old man, my bamboo tube barbecue was a must in the Dragon Beast Continent back then, and it was in short supply every day! If you want to eat it, you may not be able to eat it! Hey! This time you are lucky, no one fights with you here, you can taste the bamboo tube barbecue that the old man and I grilled with my own hands!"
Shangguan Yun Longguang listened to what Hei Lao said, and he couldn't wait to taste what kind of wonderful taste the bamboo tube barbecue that Hei Lao personally roasted, so he rubbed his hands and said: "That, Hei Lao, you see, we have a bunch of bamboo tubes to make bonfires, look, are you, do you want to show your peerless cooking skills that can make the entire Dragon Beast Continent obsessed!"
Hei Lao was obviously very satisfied with Shangguan Yunlong's sycophancy, and said with a smile: "Okay! The old man will return to his old business today!
Shangguan Yunlong immediately picked up the bamboo segments scattered on the ground, held the bamboo segments in one hand, and filled the earth with the spiritual energy of the other finger in the other hand, and poked hard at the horizontal compartment of the bamboo segment, poof, and the horizontal compartment in the bamboo segment was cleaned up by Shangguan Yunlong as if it was pasted with paper.
Shangguan Yunlong picked up another piece of bamboo, and after removing the horizontal partition inside according to the gourd drawing, he took two bamboo tubes with only the bottom sealed, and couldn't wait to say to Hei Lao: "Hei Lao, look, I have dealt with the bamboo tubes, you see if you can start." ”
Hei Lao took the two bamboo tubes handed over by Shangguan Yunlong and said: "Haha! This clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, you see we only have bamboo tubes, no meat, even if my cooking skills are unparalleled in the world, there is nothing I can do! On the mountain in front, there is a kind of demonized tiger, you go hunt a few of them, their meat is very delicious."
Moreover, killing them can also get different levels of demon cores, you can not only eat their meat, but also absorb their demon power from the demon cores to transform them into heaven and earth aura that is helpful to your cultivation realm. ”
Shangguan Yunlong looked at Hei Lao with some embarrassment, scratched the back of his head, and said, "However, it's so dark there, and I can't see things clearly in the dark like those demon beasts, I'm afraid it's a little difficult!"
Hei Lao looked at Shangguan Yunlong's cute appearance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said: "Hey, you kid has obtained the inheritance of the Dragon Beast King, and you can't do it with the ability to see at night, that's it, I have a piece of the soul crystal of the demonized civet cat here, you can absorb it first, and you can get the ability of the demonized civet's night vision!"
As he spoke, Hei Lao took out a purple-black demon core from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Shangguan Yunlong.
Shangguan Yunlong did not hesitate at all, and immediately took the demon core of the demonized spirit cat from Hei Lao's hand, and began to absorb the demonic power of the demonized spirit cat inside.
As soon as the demonic spirit cat's demonic power in the demon core was absorbed into Shangguan Yunlong's body, it immediately caused a violent reaction from the power of the true dragon in his body. After all, the demonic power of this demonized civet cat and the power of the true dragon in Shangguan Yunlong's body are two forces with diametrically opposite attributes, one good and one evil, and it is normal for them to violently repel each other.
The two forces, one good and one evil, confronted each other in Shangguan Yunlong's meridians, which made Shangguan Yunlong's meridians a little unbearable, and even the thickest meridians swelled to the limit under the impact of these two forces, and there was a faint danger of rupture.
The intense pain caused by the expansion of the meridians made Shangguan Yunlong's face distort very hideously.
"Ahh
The small amount of demonic power that was originally confronted by the power of the true dragon was like a flood that burst the embankment, like an angry beast, scurrying wantonly in Shangguan Yunlong's meridians. The huge pain caused Shangguan Yunlong to let out heart-rending screams from time to time.
Seeing that Shangguan Yunlong was so anxious, Hei Lao absorbed the soul crystals containing the massive demonic power of the demonized spirit cat, and immediately pinched a guiding trick and hit Shangguan Yunlong's body, assisting Shangguan Yunlong to channel the power of the true dragon and the demonic power of the demonized spirit cat that were already entangled in his body.
Finally, with Shangguan Yunlong's persistence and the help of Hei Lao, Shangguan Yunlong's situation finally stabilized, and the power of the true dragon in his body and the demonic spirit cat's demonic power were finally balanced, and the confrontation was no longer so fierce.
Hei Lao handed Shangguan Yunlong a set of dry clothes, and said: "Go to the hot spring over there to take a bath, change your clothes, old man, I will also go to drench in ice water, and immediately after taking a bath, I will go to the mountain in front to hunt the demonized tiger, otherwise when the moon completely rises from the west, there will be a large number of demonized demon beasts coming out, and then you will be very troublesome, and it will not be easy to get out." ”
Shangguan Yunlong took the set of dry clothes handed over by Hei Lao, put them in his storage bag, stretched his muscles a few times, moved his hands and feet a few times, and said, "Then I'll go, you can't regret it! I'll wait for your bamboo tube barbecue!"
The old man promised you that when you come back, you will definitely eat the most authentic bamboo tube barbecue! I am also going to take an ice bath, so these two bamboo tubes will be placed here first, let them warm up first!"
Shangguan Yunlong said goodbye to Hei Lao, came to the hot spring, and took a comfortable bath.
After taking a bath, Shangguan Yunlong looked at the moon and found that the moon was still in the western sky, not yet fully rising, and muttered to himself, "It's time to hurry up and hunt the demonized tiger." Shangguan Yunlong took out the set of dry clothes from the storage bag, changed his hands and feet neatly, and took out a sharp knife from the storage bag and walked towards the mountain in front.
When he came to the mountain, Shangguan Yunlong only felt that it was eerie and quiet, and there was not even the howl of a wild wolf. Shangguan Yunlong continued to walk forward, and suddenly a slightly large demonized tiger sprang out of the road, staring at him directly, opening his mouth wide and drooling.
Shangguan Yunlong tightly held the big knife in his hand, kicked it violently, and waved the heavy big knife in his hand, giving the demonized tiger a powerful slash.
The demonized tiger was not a vegetarian either, so he jumped to the side sensitively, dodged Shangguan Yunlong's slash, turned around, and slammed his iron rod-like tail towards Shangguan Yunlong.
Shangguan Yunlong continued to wield the big knife, wanting to cut off the iron tail of the demonized tiger, but the demonized tiger seemed to know Shangguan Yunlong's intentions, and the tail turned strangely in the air, and with a bang, it was drawn on the handle of the big knife impartially.
The demonized tiger has hundreds of kilograms just by looking at its size, and the attack power brought by such a large mass coupled with the rapid volley speed is undoubtedly very terrifying.
Shangguan Yunlong suddenly felt a tingling in his arm, and thought, "Good guy, there is so much meat on this product! How many bamboo tubes of barbecue can be eaten!"
Shangguan Yunlong changed his hand to hold the knife, taking advantage of the fact that the demonized tiger was very close to him, and now the demonized tiger was facing away from him, so Shangguan Yunlong shamelessly slashed at the demonized tiger's sword, and the big guy immediately died.
Shangguan Yunlong excitedly took off the demonized tiger, hummed a little song, and walked towards the bamboo house.
