Volume 1 Chapter 71 Purple Chalcedony
Because Wenxiu said that she was not in a hurry to go to Nanling this time, Zu Chuan took her to the ice volcano.
When Miss Demon Ape saw Zu Chuan, she directly gave him a big hug, and her internal organs were almost squeezed out.
For Wenxiu, a new friend, the Ice and Fire Demon Ape also showed enthusiasm, but more interested in the wild fruit in her hand.
After spending a few days in the Ice Volcano and Demon Ape Xiaojin, the two had to set off for Nanling.
The location of Nanling is naturally in the south of the Wenling Mountains, but there is a wide river in the middle, in fact, it should be said to be the sea, after all, the Nanjiang River is a thousand miles wide.
"Xiuxiu, how do you know which way to go to Nanling?"
"Stupid." Wenxiu said, "I've been there, of course I know." But I don't know exactly how, but I just know a general route. ”
"When have you been, how I don't know. Oh! Did Wen Sanwei take you to practice in Nanling? ”
"I don't know where I'm cultivating, anyway, it's not Nanling."
Zu Chuan said: "Then how can you not know the way if you have been there?" ”
Wen Xiu said proudly, "I'm flying." ”
"Also, although Wen Sanwei is not very good, his strength has nothing to say. Do you think he will be the one who has not appeared in the hall master of the God and Demon Temple for all these years. ”
"Probably not." Wen Xiu said: "Didn't Liu Ju say that the master of the God and Demon Hall has no way to appear?" ”
"Who knows, and his words may not be credible."
The land of the four mountains and the depths of the Wenling Mountains are separated by a natural danger in the middle.
The west of the ridge is separated by lofty mountains, the east of the ridge is separated by a barren land, the north ridge is thousands of miles of ice, and the south ridge is the Nanjiang River.
The two chatted all the way, walked for a day and walked out of the plain area, and then only needed to walk through a two-hundred-mile hill to reach the Qianli Nanjiang River.
Although it is hilly and the terrain is not high, it is not something they can see through at a glance, so it is still necessary to find the right way.
Zu Chuan looked at as many as seven or eight forks in the road and asked, "Xiuxiu, which way to go next?" ”
"This seems to be different from what you see in the sky."
"I know that different heights see different things, and now the question is which way we should go."
Wen Xiu said angrily, "I've said something different, how do I know where to go." ”
Each road is angled, and after walking two hundred miles, you don't know where to deviate, so you can only look at the sun and choose a road facing south.
After a short walk, the road was gone, but there was an additional cave ahead.
Zu Chuan asked, "Do you say that we are going around from the side, or are we going into the cave to explore?" ”
"I'm sure I'll go in and have a look, and if not, we'll come back."
After speaking, Wenxiu took the lead and walked in.
"It's so beautiful, Xiaochuan come in quickly."
After entering, I found that this was actually a karst cave, a straight karst cave that seemed to be cut by a knife and an axe.
The two of them walked all the way along the cave, and on both sides there were stone milks that existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and they were not bored with different shapes.
"Daddy, drink."
The little stone that hasn't moved for a long time opens its mouth and calls Dad, so there must be something it needs here.
"Dad, there's spiritual fluid in front, I want to drink it."
Really.
Under the guidance of the small stone, Zu Chuan stood in front of a stone that was not large and looked like a pig's head.
"Ogawa, what are you looking at?"
Wenxiu found that he didn't keep up and turned back.
"Xiuxiu, I think there may be a fairy drunk here."
"Really? Then open it up and take a look. ”
Zu Chuan took out the long knife of the pseudo-treasure weapon, and after a few knives, the sky was full of sparks, and there were only a few more knife marks on the pig's head, which was far from splitting.
"Let me do it."
Wen Xiu took off the short sword at his waist, and the moment he pulled it out, he felt unusual.
The sword is one foot and one inch long, the sword body is like autumn water, the double blades are like cicada wings, and there is a purple afterimage when it is waved.
The sword cut a stone with a diameter of nearly one meter in half like cutting tofu.
The light aroma went straight to the mouth and nose, and the two of them hurriedly drunk the immortals inside into the jade bottle.
"What is this?" Zu Chuan asked, holding a purple bead.
"I'll see." Wenxiu handed him the jade bottle, took the beads and said, "It's cold, it's so comfortable." ”
"Son, what is this thing?"
Xiao Shi looked at the face of the spiritual liquid that had not yet arrived, and explained seriously, "This is a thousand-year-old purple chalcedony, which can be used by martial artists to contain qi, and martial artists can be used to condense innate qi." However, this one is only a thousand years old, and the effect of martial artists is average. ”
Seeing Wenxiu's joyful appearance, Zu Chuan asked worriedly, "Then you are useless with this purple chalcedony, right?" ”
"I don't like that, Dad, I want to drink the spiritual liquid."
"Okay, then let me ask you, are there any other chalcedony here?"
"Yes, but there is a chalcedony that is more than 10,000 years old, although the quality is not as good as the purple chalcedony, but the effect of the martial artist to condense the innate qi is still good."
"Okay." Zu Chuan said, "You point out the high age to me, and if there is any spiritual liquid, I will help you get it." ”
"Daddy, do you think the ichor is easy to find? If it weren't for this purple chalcedony, there wouldn't be this little spiritual fluid. ”
This time there was really not much spiritual liquid, not even half a bottle, which was much worse than before. However, this is not a place to produce spiritual liquid, and it is good to have this harvest.
"Xiuxiu, keep the beads in your hand, and hang them around your neck when you have the opportunity."
Wenxiu asked, "Do you know what this is?" ”
"Millennial purple chalcedony, it's rare."
"Okay, when I go back, I'll let my mother make a hole for me."
Zu Chuan nodded, looking at the instructions in his mind, fortunately, they were all in front of him and didn't have to go back.
"Let's go, there should still be chalcedony here, let's look carefully."
"What's the use of this?"
Zu Chuan popularized the use of chalcedony to him.
Wen Xiu said, "That's really good, if we can find the 10,000-year-old chalcedony, we can use it for Uncle Zu and my mother." ”
Soon the first stone with chalcedony was found, but it was still cracked with a sword in hand.
"Ogawa, see how old this is?"
It was a turquoise bead, a little bigger, but it didn't feel as pure as the thousand-year-old purple chalcedony.
"This should be three thousand years old, and martial artists are useless, but they can be used by martial artists, and the effect is also very good."
"Okay." Wenxiu said: "As long as there is a harvest." ”
"Xiuxiu, why is your short sword so sharp, what about the previous Xia Feng Sword?" Zu Chuan asked.
"Don't mention it, Wen Sanwei took my Xia Feng Sword to barbecue and broke it for me, this is what he paid me."
Wen Xiu said, and handed him the short sword in his hand. Then I found that this short sword was not much larger than a dagger in terms of style, size and weight.
looked at the bow behind Wen Xiu again, knowing that this was specially prepared for her by Wen Sanwei, and it was also the most suitable weapon for her, and looked at the hilt of the sword, and sure enough, there was a show character engraved
The two kept splitting stones along the way, and of course the harvest was also full, not to mention that there were five in tens of thousands of years alone.
It took the two of them a day to get out of the cave, listening to the sound of the water crashing against the stones in the distance, and knew that they had reached the Nanjiang River.
The reason why Nanjiang is called natural danger is because there is a group of man-eating sharks living in the water, although only the leader is a fierce beast, but if it is really surrounded by them, there is basically no hope of survival.
On both sides of the Nanjiang River, there are boats cast by the City Lord's Mansion, and each boat is the same, and it is also ten meters high in the water, which is mainly due to the fear that the man-eating shark will jump onto the boat.
The Nanjiang River is 1,000 miles wide, and the speed of this huge ship depends on the wind, if it is a smooth wind and water for two hours, it can travel 100 miles, but if it is a headwind or no wind, it all depends on luck. It is best to follow one rule to travel to and from the Nanjiang River, and only travel 100 miles a day.
Because the night is the world of man-eating sharks, even if it can't jump into the boat, it will crash the boat into a place with a reef, and then destroy the boat en masse, never doubt the intelligence of the beast.
Therefore, every 100 miles of the Nanjiang River, there will be a small island for temporary rest.
They were lucky to have a boat on this side and the wind was in the right direction. The two of them sorted out their things and wanted to rush to the first island while it was still dark.
When the two of them boarded the iron-clad ship and pulled up the anchor, the huge ship began to move slowly, drifting towards the other side of the river.
When I saw the boat go away, another person came to the shore, but looking at the shadow of the boat that had gone away, I could only stomp my feet helplessly, and now I can only wait for someone from the other side to pass.
The two of them reached the first island before dark, fixed the boat firmly to the shore, and then hurried out of the ship.
Man-eating sharks have an unusually sensitive sense of smell and will not attack if there is no one on board.
Zuchuan was born in Hushan, Lingxi, and the water he has seen the most is the river where he encountered big fish when he went to the depths of the Wenling Mountains.
Seeing such a wide river for the first time, he was a little overexcited, and kept pumping water on Wenxiu.
Wen Xiu said angrily: "You're messing around, I'm beating you." ”
"Xiuxiu, why don't you play with water, so much water, how fun."
"Cut, this little bit of water will surprise you."
Zu Chuan said, "You seem to have seen more. ”
"Of course, I've seen the sea tens of thousands of miles wide and tens of thousands of meters deep, how can I see such a small scene."
"Nonsense." Zu Chuan questioned, "I have never heard of such a wide sea, and it is estimated that there is not such a big sea in Nanlingnan." ”
Wen Xiu didn't know how to refute it, and said, "Anyway, I've just seen it, so I'll ignore you." ”
Next, they strictly followed the habits of the Nanling people, and only drove the boat when the wind was in the right direction every day, and stopped immediately when they walked to the island. When the wind is not in the right direction, it will stay for a day.
It took the two of them ten days to walk 500 miles, and this time it actually stopped for three days before the wind direction was right, and life on the island was boring. In a place with a radius of only a few hundred meters, you can't play with flowers.
Seeing that the wind was in the right direction, the two hurriedly lifted anchor and started the boat, and when they left, they also took the tools they had been bored with in the past few days. You can fish on the road for a while, and there can't be only man-eating sharks in the Nanjiang River.
Wenxiu said, "I don't think the wind direction has changed, otherwise let's go more." ”
"Don't do it, if the wind changes in a moment, we'll be in trouble."
"Okay, then let's stop on the island ahead."
It was only a little more than an hour downwind, and the first thing they saw was not an island, but an identical ship.
Zu Chuan said, "It seems that even now, there are still people who go to the depths of the Wenling Mountains, but in fact, I really don't think there is anything good there." ”
"That's what you think." Wen Xiu said: "Ordinary martial artists only need to work in Wenling City, and they can get a Qi Pill worth a thousand gold. When they hunt beasts, not only is the harvest unstable, but also their lives will be in danger, so they naturally know how to choose. ”
"You're right."
They soon arrived on the island, and when they saw the flag on the ship, they couldn't help but sigh at the narrow road.
This is the boat that the Hu family rushed to Wenling City, it seems that there should be more than 20 people, all of them are martial artists and did not find the martial artist, so they didn't care much.
Zu Chuan and the two looked at each other, and of course the people of the Hu family could see them, but neither side said hello.
Zu Chuan didn't know or bother, and the Hu family was disdainful. But that's right, how can two young people in the Strong Bone Realm make the first family of Nanling pay attention to it, although this first is a bit empty.
The two occupied a corner near the ship and never went inside, and the other party did not come to disturb them, but Zu Chuan was still keenly aware of the other's eye contact.
"Sleep next to me at night, tonight may be lively."
The two deliberately set up a tent next to it, and when the time came, there was no fluorescent lighting at night, and the two chatted for a while and gradually became sleepy.
Wen Xiu hugged him and closed his eyes and fell asleep, while Zu Chuan was half asleep and half awake when he heard the sound of boiling water outside.
Wake Wenxiu up and cover her mouth.
Wen Xiu blinked twice, took his hand away, and said, "Put a good tent and don't let you sleep, what do you want to do?" ”
"Listen."
"Man-eating sharks?"
