When the rest of the people heard that Qian Chao was going to tell a story, they all sat down, ready to listen to him.

Qian Chao smiled when he saw it: "Okay, then I'll talk about it." ”

The first story is related to a spirit grass.

In the past, there was a disciple surnamed Tao in the sect, and he was called Senior Brother Tao, since he entered the sect, he has been bullied by a Senior Brother Cao and a Senior Brother Liu.

In an outing, the three of them found a very good spirit grass, but the demon beast that guarded the spirit grass was also very powerful, and the three of them fought hard to kill it, but after the death of the demon beast, Senior Brother Cao said Senior Brother Tao, you have contributed the least this time, and I don't want to go too far when I look at the spirit stones, so let's do it, the spirit grass and the demon beasts will belong to me and Senior Brother Liu, and then we will each give you some spirit stones. The spirit grass and the demon beast were said to be worth hundreds of spirit stones, but Senior Brother Tao only got a pitiful little spirit stone in the end, and he has held a grudge against these two people since then.

Later, this Tao junior brother no longer went out with these two people, but when they met outside, Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Liu refused to let him go, not only did they move their hands but also robbed this Tao junior brother, just because their cultivation was not as good as those two, this Tao junior brother could only endure it.

One day, this Senior Brother Tao found Senior Brother Cao, saying that he had found a place with rare spiritual grass outside, and he still couldn't defeat the demon beasts there, so he asked Senior Brother Cao if he wanted to try it.

When Senior Brother Cao heard this, he was naturally willing, but this time Senior Brother Tao said that I can tell you about that place, but Senior Brother Cao, you have to give me the spirit stone first, and I won't go to that place after telling you, and it won't do me any good if I go anyway.

Senior Brother Cao was also suspicious, so he said that the spirit stone was given to you, and when we went there, what if there was no spirit grass. Senior Brother Tao listened and said Since this is the case, then I will sell it to others, anyway, there is a senior brother who is higher than me, and then turned around and left, Senior Brother Cao hurriedly stopped him, and said It is better to do this, give half first, Senior Brother Tao, you go with us, if there is really that spiritual grass there, then give you the other half.

Senior Brother Tao sneered and said Senior Brother Cao's cultivation is profound, don't talk about the other half when you go outside, even the half you gave before may have to be taken back, forget it, Senior Brother Cao, I haven't been here.

Senior Brother Cao said what if you lie to me?

Senior Brother Tao said, If I deceive you, aren't you afraid that you will find trouble with me outside in the future?

Senior Brother Cao was right when he thought about it, so he gave the spirit stone according to Senior Brother Tao's asking price, and then still asked Senior Brother Liu to go out together.

They really found the spirit grass there, and when they were about to pick the spirit grass after killing the demon beasts there, suddenly a group of people in the sect surrounded them, and these people Cao and Liu couldn't afford to provoke them, so they could only give up the spirit grass and the demon beasts that were hard to kill.

Later, the two of them discussed that it must be the group of people who told the location of this spiritual grass by this Tao junior brother, otherwise how would people know about such a secret place? I'm going to go back to find the trouble of Brother Tao.

How do you know that in the sect, this is Senior Brother Tao, but he bites that place to death, and only tells Senior Brother Cao alone, why did those people go, how would he know? Either this Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Liu got the spirit grass and the demon beast and came to blackmail themselves again, in short, they just didn't admit it.

In the sect, Na Cao and Liu didn't dare to do anything with this Tao junior brother, even if they retaliated against him, they always had to wait for him to leave the sect.

Later, when the two saw Senior Brother Tao going out alone, they knew that the opportunity had come, so they went out together, and they were determined to catch this kid and clean it up fiercely.

How do you know that Senior Brother Tao walked all the way out of the sect, so that Cao and Liu, who were following behind, still muttered for a while, could it be that his whereabouts were discovered by this Senior Brother Tao? However, when I saw that this Tao junior brother sometimes stopped to look around, it seemed that he was looking for something, and then hurried away, which aroused the curiosity of the two.

They followed this Tao brother all the way and finally arrived in the valley between the two hills, and when they got there, the Tao brother stopped, Cao and Liu were very surprised when they saw it, and they saw that there were a lot of spiritual grasses growing in the valley, and from a distance, the color was not bad, the Tao brothers were there to pick, and what made the two even more strange was that the spiritual grass here did not seem to be guarded by demon beasts, which was really strange.

Only then did Cao and Liu know why this Tao junior brother rushed here in such a hurry, it must be because they didn't know where to find out that there was spiritual grass here, and they were afraid that others would pick it up first, so they were in such a hurry.

Since there is a spirit grass, then the two senior brothers Cao and Liu will naturally not be polite, and later these spirit grasses will all go into Senior Brother Tao's bag, thinking of this, the two of them also appeared in a hurry, and they didn't forget to say hello to Senior Brother Tao. When Senior Brother Tao saw the two of them coming, he didn't speak, but almost immediately turned around and fled. The two of them laughed when they saw it, but it was because this Senior Brother Tao was afraid of him that he left in such a hurry. However, where are they willing to chase it, how can they get the spirit grass in front of them first.

The two of them immediately began to pick the spirit grass there, speaking of which, the two of them didn't know what kind of spirit grass this was, but they both felt that the spirit grass was full of spiritual energy and was an extraordinary product, and they also discussed that they should first inquire about what kind of spirit grass this was when they returned to the sect, and then make a sale, so as not to sell it cheaply and suffer a loss.

How do you know that less than half of the picking is wrong, it seems that the two of them are being watched by some powerful demon beast but can't find the location of the demon beast, the two also thought about leaving quickly, but they are reluctant to those spiritual grasses that seem to be valuable, so they picked a few more, just picked and put it in the bag, suddenly it changed and protruded, and a big snake with a thin waist didn't know where it came out of nowhere, and the two of them were blocked in the valley at once.

Later, people never saw Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Liu appear again. In that small valley, all the grass and trees were lodging, as if they had been weighed down by some huge heavy object, and people also found a piece of Shimen jade pendant there, which belonged to Senior Brother Cao, and then they knew that they didn't know what terrible demon beast they encountered here and died.

"That's the end of the story." Qian Chao said.

"What a story is this?" Tang Ping pursed his lips and said, "If it's true, the person surnamed Tao will definitely be tight-lipped and won't say a word, how can others know so clearly?" ”

"Stories are stories, do you think I'm telling the truth? This story does have loopholes, but it is still a story after all, and it is enough to listen to it as a story, and the important thing is to be able to taste something from this story. Speaking of which, this is still the most reasonable version I have heard, there are many senior brothers who told me this story, all kinds of different theories, what Tao senior brother colluded with the sect to dissan cultivation and harmed those two; What kind of Tao junior brother carried some kind of treasure that could not be discovered by the demon snake, so he could be fine in that valley, and as soon as he left, the demon snake came out and harmed the two of them; Others said that the powerful demon snake was raised by Senior Brother Tao, and deliberately led the two into the trap and so on. ”

"Wait," Tang Ping was still unconvinced, and asked, "Then why is what you said reasonable?" ”

"I knew you would ask that," Qian Chao said with a smile, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Xuan, "Sister Yan, do you recognize the spirit grass on it?" ”

"This is ......" Yan Xuan frowned at the paper, and Tang Ping was curious and came over to take a look.

A spiritual grass was drawn on the paper with pen and ink, but it was obvious that Yan Xuan seemed to be very unfamiliar with the spiritual grass, and he kept frowning and thinking hard, as if he had seen it but did not recognize it.

"Wait," Yan Xuan said, placing the paper on the stone table, taking out a copy of his "Spirit Herb Collection" from the storage bag, and flipping it open to find it.

Li Jian, as well as Lu Pingchuan, who was barbecuing, also came over curiously to look at the spirit grass drawn on the paper.

"Hemp...... Ma Snake Leaf is really a kind of spirit grass, and it is also a mid-level spirit grass, no wonder it looks a little familiar. ”

"Snake leaf? In the story I heard, this spirit grass is called snakeskin. Qian Chao listened and said.

"It's really a spirit grass, Sister Yan, what is this spirit grass for?" Tang Ping asked.

"We can refine several pills, but they can only be used by the senior brothers of the foundation building, and we can't use them yet, but according to the records in the book, the story of Brother Qian can be completed."

"Oh? What the book says. ”

Yan Xuan looked at the book and said, "Well, this snake leaf is indeed clumped, and if you can find one, you can find many nearby." Then there is this kind of spiritual grass that attracts some monsters such as big snakes, such as demon snakes such as the cockroach and the yellow money python. These demon snakes are attracted by this spirit grass, because the breath of this spirit grass helps these big snakes to molt, whenever this spirit grass is about to grow up, there must be a big snake nearby, it is said that this spirit grass also has a fascination effect on these big snakes, so the surname Tao in the story of Brother Qian didn't seem to pick the spirit grass and ran away, so he can be fine. But the two people were greedy, it seemed that they wanted to pick all the spirit grass, and the spirit grass was picked and put away, and the intoxication effect on the big snake was a little less. ”

Lu Pingchuan understood and said with a smile: "Oh, no wonder Brother Qian said it was snakeskin, cough, it was those two boys who were greedy, so they died, didn't they?" ”

Li Jian smiled: "This story is a bit interesting, is it about Lingcao or people?" ”

Qian Chao said: "Yes, there may have been such a thing before, or someone may have calculated it in their hearts, of course, the most likely thing is that this is a story made up." It's enough for us to listen to it and learn a little longer. ”

"Okay, if you tell this story well, is there anything else?" Tang Ping asked.

"Well, of course." Qian Chao said

Yan Xuan folded the piece of paper marked with snake leaves and sandwiched it in his "Spirit Herb Collection", and he was also looking forward to the story of Qian Chao.
