Chapter 52: Peers
In response to the request of the immortals, these villagers would refuse, and immediately arranged for people to go to the middle of the lake to tie the body of the black-scaled snake with a rope and drag it back to the shore.
And when they heard that Li Qing was going to skin and cramp this "black dragon", these villagers were even more excited.
If you find the butcher with the best slaughtering skills in the village, you will have to help.
However, when the butcher took the ancestral ox ear sharp knife along the snake body and wanted to peel off the snake skin, he found that the sharp knife in his hand was difficult to cut through the snake skin, and it took a long time to cut a two-inch hole.
Seeing this, Li Qing handed the other party a short blade.
This was found in the loot obtained several times before, and it was a discarded magic weapon.
Although it is not even a low-grade magic weapon, the material is good and extremely sharp. There are also some characteristics of magic weapons, and it should be no problem to use it to break the snakeskin.
The butcher took the short blade and swung it left and right twice, and then touched the blade with his thumb to feel the sharpness.
"What a good knife!"
The butcher felt that this short blade was extraordinary, and he loved it even more when he touched the edge.
"If you can peel off the snakeskin, it's yours!" Li Qing was not annoyed when he heard this, but encouraged.
For him, the whole snakeskin was more valuable, and could be made into a better quality artifact.
In contrast, a short blade that is not even a magic weapon is nothing.
"Really? Immortals, don't lie to me. The butcher immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he looked at Li Qing with a nervous expression.
It seems that he is worried that Li Qing is joking.
"It's nature." Li Qing smiled and nodded.
When the butcher heard this, he immediately moved quickly, and he first used the broken blade to insert the connection between the flesh and the snake's skin on the section of the snake's body.
Then, with a single stroke, the flesh and snake skin were easily separated.
Seeing the power of the short blades, the butchers continued to separate from each other along the junction of flesh and skin, until they circled around the cross-section of the snake's body.
A piece of snake skin was separated, but the butcher remembered Li Qing's advice to have the snake skin intact.
So he beckoned a few young people from the same village who were watching the play, and asked them to join forces to lift the separated snake skin to the front of the snake's body, and then he continued to repeat the action just now.
Cycle.
In the end, it took the butcher nearly an hour to completely peel off the skin of the two snake bodies.
Li Qing took it and looked at it carefully, and the two cylindrical snake skins, one large and one small, were completely unbroken.
Just enough to make a set of soft armor, Li Qing thought.
After that, the butcher made a knife along the back of the black-scaled snake and pulled out two snake tendons.
Although the snake tendons have become two, each section has the appearance of two or three zhang, and it is enough to make two strong bows.
Li Qing originally wanted to hand over the two snake tendons directly to Xu Fang and Liu Yiyi, but when the two women saw Li Qing carrying the bloody snake tendons walking towards them, they actually retreated in unison.
Fortunately, Li Qing was not stupid, and immediately reacted and understood the crux of the two women's reactions.
So the snake tendons were cleaned when they were taken to the lake, and Xu Fang and Liu Yiyi didn't seem so resistant, and reached out to take it and put it in the storage bag.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Li!"
"You deserve it, you're welcome!" Li Qing waved his hand and asked, then thought of something and asked. "By the way, are the two junior sisters going to return to the White Lotus Pure Sect next?"
Li Qing felt that they had been left behind by the elders of the sect to deal with the black-scaled snake on the way back to the mountain gate, and now that the task was completed, they naturally had to continue to return to the White Lotus Pure Sect.
"Yes, my sister and I are indeed going back to the mountain gate." Xu Fang nodded.
She did complain a little about Li Qing just now, after all, it was because of Li Qing's sudden appearance that she suffered and was injured.
However, after a short period of contact, she found that this Senior Brother Li acted decisively, handled things calmly, and had a kinder attitude towards the two of them, quite a gentleman.
So I gradually changed my attitude.
"That's right, I'm also going back to the sect. It's better to go on the road together, so that we can take care of each other.
Moreover, the Changfeng Sword Sect also often has caravans to the White Lotus Pure Sect, so maybe they can return by the way. In this way, the two junior sisters of the province are traveling, and there is a lot less risk. Li Qing suggested when he heard this.
The White Lotus Pure Sect is in the west of the Changfeng Sword Sect, and the mountain gates of the two factions are six or seven thousand miles apart, and they are even more thousands of miles away from here.
What's more, Xu Fang and Liu Yiyi don't seem to be very good at fighting, otherwise how could they be so embarrassed by a black-scaled snake with a seventh-layer qi training.
Therefore, Li Qing really didn't worry about the two of them traveling alone, so as not to cause any danger on the road.
Taking a step back, the two factions of the Changfeng Sword Sect and the White Lotus Pure Sect are on good terms, and as a disciple of the Changfeng Sword Sect, he can't ignore this, as if he didn't see it.
"This ......"
Xu Fang and Liu Yiyi glanced at each other, and also understood that what Li Qing said made sense, so they said. "Then it's troublesome Senior Brother Li!"
"No trouble! The friendship between the two factions should be like this. Li Qing also smiled.
After deciding to go together, the three of them did not stay any longer.
Li Qing stepped on the Liuyun Sword, and Xu Fang and Liu Yiyi threw out the lotus platform, which grew up a lot in the wind, just enough to accommodate one person to stand.
So the three of them flew together in the direction of the mountain gate of the Changfeng Sword Sect.
When the figures of Li Qing and the three disappeared at the end of the sky, the villagers who stayed in place were stunned on the spot, and they all looked at the snake body after being plucked and cramped.
I don't know what to do.
"This is the reward of the Immortals to our village." After a long while, an old man with a bamboo cane came out and said to everyone.
"But this is dragon meat!" Someone in the crowd asked.
"Yes, this is ......"
The crowd soon became noisy, and everyone was very surprised by dragon meat, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me." The old man paused for the bamboo cane in his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet.
The old man had a high prestige in the village, and with his gesture, the surroundings fell silent again.
"Think about it, this dragon can fly to the sky and the earth, dive into the river and enter the sea, and its flesh can probably eliminate all diseases and bless future generations. You can't afford to waste it.
The immortals not only killed this "evil dragon", but also left its flesh and blood to us, which is a great kindness, and we must not forget our roots.
So I proposed to build a temple for the immortals by this lake and offer incense. ”
As soon as the old man's words came out, he was recognized by everyone.
I feel that a temple should indeed be built for Shangxian, and every day can be worshiped to show gratitude, and it can also let Shangxian bless their village with good weather.
Well, the latter one is important.
The villagers exchanged heads and ears, while dividing the snake meat with the butcher under the arrangement of the old man, while discussing how to build the temple and what to name.
In their cognition, since the immortals can kill the evil "black dragon", and the dragon can rain. Therefore, the immortal should be the immortal who is in charge of the clouds and rain in the world.
That's right, it must be. The villagers unanimously agreed.
In the end, it was decided to build a rain temple for Shangxian by the lake, after all, rain is too important for the grain harvest.
They need a rain god to bless them.
How good the rain god is, as long as you sincerely worship, the coming year will definitely be a year of good weather and rain.
In the longing discussion of the villagers, without Li Qing's knowledge, the construction of the Rain Temple was decided.
However, someone in the crowd threw out a new question.
"Eh, what should the two fairies beside the fairy do............"
The scene was cold for a while, and I found that there was indeed such a thing.
"Or ......"
