The bonfire is blazing, the wine and meat are fragrant, the voices of people are boiling, and the place where the fire shines seems to be two worlds with the surrounding dark mountains and forests.
Yu Ci took the wine gourd in the hands of the medicine picker next to him and took a sip unceremoniously. This is a local wine brewed by a medicine picker, which is spicy in the throat, but with a medicinal aroma, which is very chic.
Lu Bing's eyesight is really trustworthy, most of the people he got acquainted with are natives of Cliff City, and they have traveled back and forth between the Heavenly Rift Valley and Cliff City many times in the past ten years.
It is indeed difficult for such a group of people to do things that make money and kill people, and safety is guaranteed.
After a brief dinner, more than 20 people on both sides had nothing to do, and began to chat aimlessly. For some reason, both sides deliberately avoided each other's harvest problems, but it was impossible to completely ignore them, so, after a few turns, there were people on the other side of the cliff city who talked about the secrets of the White Sun Mansion, and they were not lonely.
The conversation turned back to the shrimp weed, but the discussion was about what medicinal properties the herb actually had.
More than half of the people present are professional medicine pickers, and if they know some medicinal properties, they don't know it, and they can guess blindly. So you said your recipe, I talked about my pill, more than 20 people, divided into several factions, gradually from discussion to argument, and then to quarrel, the atmosphere became hot......
When several arguments were stalemate, someone suddenly shouted: "It's all fart, how can it be so simple!"
As soon as the word is spoken, everyone looks sideways. It was the person from the cliff city who shouted, it seemed that his name was Li Hong, probably drunk, and his face was red at this time, I am afraid that even he didn't know what he had just said.
The companion next to him saw that he was drunk and hurriedly poked him to sober him up. But Li Hong is a face-saving person, and he is really drunk, seeing that he is a blockbuster, the conversation is getting more and more excited, and a big secret that he heard before also took the opportunity to leak out:
"Don't you believe it, this shrimp grass is usually a prescription, and it is just a cure for headache and brain fever, but the Bairi family has a great business, in their eyes, this thing takes out one hundred and eighty roots, which is no different from roadside weeds, why should people spend a lot of effort and hire us to pick?
"In the final analysis, in our hands, this grass is grass, and it is used as a home remedy, but on the side of Bairi Mansion, it can turn stones into gold......
Speaking of the key point, he accentuated his tone, but he was stuck here again, pretending to be mysterious. This gesture can only annoy people, but what can be done about such a drunkard?
At this time, Yu Ci's medicine picker, who shared a wine gourd with him, chuckled and said: "Li Laosi has a sister who is married to a small guy in the White Ri Mansion, this kind of hearsay news, he is the most ......."
Yu Ci listened interestingly, and was about to learn more, but Li Hong over there had sold enough passes, and he felt very happy, so under the urging of many people, he laughed and said:
"It's nothing to say, in fact, Bai Rifu bought this shrimp grass because they can make a potion, as long as a large amount of shrimp grass is soaked in it, after a period of time, the best and most intact of these shrimp grass plants, it is possible to be soaked alive......
At this moment, seven or eight people were suspicious: "Bubble live?"
"Hey, we don't know if it's alive or not, I just know, my brother-in-law said that this soaked shrimp grass will suck all the medicinal properties of the rest of the herbs to himself, if the medicinal power is enough, this shrimp grass will regenerate and change, just like those caterpillars become butterflies, into a new herb, at that time, the shrimp grass is not called shrimp grass, but called ...... Ichthyosaurus!"
"Ichthyosaurus?"
There was silence around the campfire at first, and then it became noisy...... Everyone first asked Li Hong about the use of ichthyosaurus, but at this point, Li Hong had already taken out the things in his stomach, and reluctantly said a few more words, and then began to answer the question, but at this time, the atmosphere had been heated up, and people could not get a definite answer, so they began to indulge their imagination, and put all kinds of supernatural abilities on ichthyosaurus......
At this time, the drinking friend next to him handed over the gourd again, invited him to drink together, and asked him with a smile: "If my brother has this fairy grass, I don't know what to change?"
Where did you get any fairy grass? This man was almost drunk.
Yu Ci glanced at him, ignoring the distressed appearance of his drinking friend, swallowed the local wine in the gourd in one gulp, the hot wine was wrapped in the fragrance of medicine, and rushed to the top door.
"Lao Tzu wants to live forever, who can get it?"
There was a sudden silence around the fire, and then there was laughter and strange screams, and nine out of ten people thought Yu Ci was joking. Although they haven't been together for a long time, Yu Cifei is not only handsome, strong, but also quite bold in receiving people and things, everyone feels that he is not evil, and they all respond with kind coaxing, pushing the atmosphere to a **.
However, some people can feel Yu Ci's true thoughts, at least understand that Yu Ci's ambition as a human being is extraordinary...... Lu Bing, who was on the other side, raised a gourd to signal to this side, and Yu Ci also responded with a smile, all without saying a word.
The warm atmosphere continued, but Yu Ci himself got out of it, staring at the jumping bonfire, slightly distracted: he was also drunk if he told the truth so lightly.
Or is that what he desires?
When he was young, Yu Ci didn't understand the true meaning of "immortality", but he clearly knew the price of immortality - the accumulation of white bones under the palace of the two immortals is the best interpretation.
At first, it was just fear, but as I grew older and more courageous, the fear slowly faded, and only the deep traces left behind were always imprinted in my heart. In addition, the magical power of the twin immortals calling for wind and rain and flying to the sky and the earth is like a seed, buried deep in the imprints, sprouting, growing, and becoming a towering tree deeply rooted in the heart in the long days of wandering.
Unconsciously, the thing of "immortality" has melted into the blood of his whole body and has become an instinct. Instinctively pursue, not to think about the so-called "meaning", because immortality itself is a collection of meanings.
That's how Yu Ci understands it.
The liquor tickled his **, and he wanted to rush into that world strongly, his blood boiling, intending to break through the invisible barrier, but he was always a little short - he could already hear the lid above his head clang......
Since entering the upper level of the Ming Aperture, opening the "Spiritual Aperture" in the dark, and sensing his own divine soul, this feeling has increased day by day, and in these days in the Heavenly Rift Valley, it has reached the point where the Dan Furnace is boiling and is about to rush out.
Yu Ci knew that this was a precursor to a breakthrough, but he lacked an opportunity, and with his existing strength, he was still a little behind. Fortunately, he has a lot of patience and tenacity, and he builds strength on this level until the moment he breaks through the top.
When he lost his mind, the people around the campfire had already taken off his jokes about "delusions of immortality" and returned to their main concerns, but they still didn't understand the real use of shrimp grass or ichthyosaurus. After not getting the gist for a long time, everyone was a little excited, and when they saw that they were about to be cold, someone suddenly sneered:
"Whatever it is, it's true to know how much it's worth. ”
That's pretty straightforward. Yu Ci also came back to his senses, thinking that it was Li Hong who made a high statement, but soon realized that something was wrong, this person spoke sonorously and powerfully, and his voice seemed to have the voice of gold and iron, which was very different from Li Hong's vague tone before.
Removing his gaze, he suddenly realized that it was Daoist Yan......
This person also belongs to the group of Cliff City, but he is not a full-time medicine picker, but joins in halfway, which is somewhat similar to Yu Ci's situation. is also dressed in Taoist clothes, claiming to be a Taoist priest, but his face is rough, he has a beard, his eyes are like bells, and his eyes are very sharp. Yu Ci had estimated before that among this group of medicine pickers, only this person's cultivation was the most intelligent, and he was probably also at the upper level of enlightenment, surpassing others.
All eyes were on him. Someone laughed: "Is this grass comparable to the Sanyang Fu Sword?"
When he introduced himself before, Daoist Yan said frankly that his goal was the Sanyang Fu Sword, which was the same as Yu Ci, so he said so.
Daoist Yan grinned: "Sanyang Fu Sword, this is not a good calculation, I only know that ten fish dragon grass can be exchanged for a cold jade heart cleansing pill." ”
When these words came out, a circle of people were at a loss, and they only felt that Daoist Yan's words didn't know what to say. Only Li Hong, the strength of the wine seemed to have passed, and he began to pretend again, putting on a thoughtful expression: "Hanyu Heart Cleansing Pill, it seems that where have you heard of it?"
"It must be in the White Sun Mansion. ”
Daoist Yan grinned: "Bairi Mansion can make hundreds of Sanyang rune swords every year, and this Hanyu Heart Cleansing Pill is only the one that the mansion master still holds three or two in his hand, and he must be carefully collected, stored in a secret room, and guarded by a special person, for fear of being stolen by thieves...... Hehe, that's what it means......"
"Phew!"
The scene of more than 20 people gasping together was quite spectacular, but Yu Ci was a little absent-minded. I don't know why, when he saw Daoist Yan's smile, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and a special smell poured into his nose.
"However, although the Hanyu Heart Cleansing Pill is good, it is also out of reach. It's not as good as the Sanyang Fu Sword, as long as there are thousands of shrimp and whisker grasses, you can exchange it, I'm still down-to-earth, step by step better. ”
What does he mean?
Yu Ci keenly grasped the change in Daoist Yan's tone, and the word "I" inserted horizontally was really weird. He is not the only smart person, Lu Bing also raised his head and looked at the past with a puzzled gaze.
At this moment, the smell at the end of the nose was extremely strong.
"Be careful!"
Yu Ci suddenly shouted, and when the rest of the people were still at a loss, he suddenly leaned back and lay down like this. A little later, the blazing red light swept past his eyes, and the waves of fire rushed in, burning the skin on his forehead hard......
What followed was a series of screams, as well as the unbridled laughter of Daoist Yan.
"Bastard!" This was Lu Bing's voice, accompanied by the sound of Qiang Lang's sword.
Yu Ci rolled again, far away, and then jumped up from the ground, and in the process, the screams were endless.
When I looked up, I saw the tragic scene of corpses lying by the fire. Around the bonfire, the people who had been discussing it hotly before, at this time, most of the corpses were lying on the ground, and the medicine picker who had just shared wine with him was cut in half at this time, and he was not dead for a while, struggling and moaning on the ground. The huge wound incision was as black as charcoal, and no blood could flow out, but it was even more terrifying than the scene of blood splashing five steps.
The one who caused this qiē was the Taoist priest Nayan.
This person was laughing profusely, and there was a red glow on his hand, and his body looked like a glowing short stick at first glance, round and without a blade, but when he looked closely, he found that the light flame in it was condensed, and the breath was as sharp as a sword. As the light radiated, there were more surging waves of fire, gushing out, and where it passed, the grass and trees on the ground spontaneously combusted without wind, and soon formed a huge circle of fire that fluctuated and contracted.
Within the circle of fire, Lu Bing's face was distorted, like a mad demon, and he attacked Yan Daoist incessantly. The long sword in his hand was full of cold light, it was not ordinary, and the sword momentum was like a storm, and the momentum was overwhelming...... However, Daoist Yan didn't care much, his feet didn't move for half a minute, and the red light shook slightly in his hand, and he easily blocked Lu Bing's life-fighting sword light.
Moreover, Daoist Yan still turned his head leisurely, smiled at Yu Ci and said: "You are alert, Daoist is just thinking, and he will give you awareness, otherwise your little white face will definitely be split in half for me......"
Yu Ci's eyebrows rose, this murderer was too arrogant.
Of course, Yan Daoshi does have arrogant capital. His clumsy swordsmanship is obviously far beyond Lu Bing's level. However, Yu Ci was not afraid, his face was condensed, although he had no sharp weapon in his hands, he still exported the Qingguang Spirit Guide, and was ready to rely on the talisman to attack this fang with Lu Bing.
Seeing that he was very calm, Daoist Yan laughed, and suddenly shouted:
"Slashed!"
As soon as the words fell, Yu Ci saw a red line extending from the void, he opened his mouth, and before he could make any sound, he saw that the sword light in the sky was shattered, and Lu Bing and his sword cracked at the same time, falling on the burning grass, and the silence disappeared.
Yu Ci's hand that was drawing talismans on his sleeve suddenly froze.
All the screams and moans disappeared, except for Yu Ci, the remaining twenty or so medicine pickers died at the hands of Daoist Yan, and the murderer was still unsatisfied, turning his eyes that had become red, and his eyes were fixed on Yu Ci's face......
"Little white face, why don't you come up?"
Yu Ci found that he had underestimated Daoist Yan.
In terms of physical body cultivation, there is not much difference between the realm of long breath and the realm of enlightenment after reaching its peak, and Lu Bing has refined his swordsmanship, and his combat power is not inferior to him too much. But such a character was slashed by Daoist Yan's sword, which certainly had the effect of that weird and sharp fire sword, but Daoist Yan's own cultivation must have exceeded Yu Ci's preset standards.
Beyond the enlightenment to the upper level, isn't that a channel...... Monks?
Yu Ci didn't say a word, pulled back, and jumped three feet.
Daoist Yan took a sip, and he was not in a hurry to make a move, and strode forward to chase after him.
Yu Ci was optimistic about the terrain before retreating, and the place where he fell happened to be the turning point of the mountain. There was a thud, and the gravel flew under his feet, and his legs and feet turned around with almost all their strength, turning to the back of the cascading rocks at a faster speed.
Daoist Yan laughed: "Can you run away!"
As he spoke, he hurried around the corner in a few steps, and when he turned his face, he was shocked.
Within the line of sight, there were only shadows of swaying trees in the dark mountains and forests in the distance, and Yu Ci was gone.
Daoist Yan's eyes widened, and he was confused for a while. Although it was late at night, as far as he could see, it was also a mile away, and the forest that could hide people here was about this distance, and although the little white face was nimble, he would not have such a fast method.
From here to the dense forest, the road is flat, and there are almost no mountains and rocks to hide, and it is possible to be found even greater. Daoist Yan was stunned for a long time, but then said coldly:
"The kid is slippery, but is it easy to be a Taoist?"
He closed his eyes, and under the control of his divine soul, a layer of invisible power swept across the area in a fluctuating manner, and soon, his eyes were shining.
Suddenly, he kicked down a rock beside him, revealing a half-human-high cave behind him. The cave is a natural formation, but the rocks in front of it have been moved from elsewhere, and the outside is decorated with thatched dwarf trees, which at first glance appear to be part of the mountain, but in fact it is enough to squeeze a person into the hollow of the trees below.
This kind of arrangement completely deceives people's eyes, but people like Yan Daoshi sometimes don't use their eyes to judge!
However, Daoist Yan still has a question that he doesn't understand, that little white face is obviously the appearance of passing, how can he not know that the prophet generally arranged such a secret place?
The question could not be answered, but the more it was so, the stronger his murderous intent became, and without hesitation, he lowered his head and went into the cave.
"Even if the little white face becomes a big mouse, he can't escape the sword of the Taoist master!"
Although the cave was dark and lightless, it could not withstand the light of the red fire sword in Daoist Yan's hand, and after he walked a few steps, the inside suddenly became spacious. There were indeed traces of human habitation inside, and Daoist Yan even saw debris scattered on the ground.
However, at this time, his face changed slightly, because he clearly felt the oncoming breeze here, and there were two more ways in the wind!
There were three exits to this cave, one of which he entered, and two more, God knows which way Yu Ci went.
"What a burrowing mouse......"
Daoist Yan hated and laughed: "If it were someone else, I would really have escaped for you, but it's a pity that you ran into Daoist Master and me!"
He didn't want to waste much time, and as soon as his eyes closed, his spirit drove again, sweeping over the caves on both sides. The remnants of Yu Ci's breath were like a faint firelight, revealing it. Daoist Yan quickly confirmed a hole and chased after him in great strides.
