Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Red Fox
The people in the same room as Jiang Yu are all people with prominent families, and although they are majestic outside, they are also under pressure. That is how to face his illustrious family background after being really swept away. The more this kind of family, the more important they are to fame, if they are really swept out of the house by Ming Yutan, it is estimated that they will not even be able to go back home. So although he complained, he had no choice but to put down his body and go out to collect spirit grass not long after receiving the task.
Jiang Yu was also dragged out by them, and the valley under the unintentional peak was full of grass. But there are many disciples of the Unintentional Peak who collect spirit grass. The group searched for a long time before they found an area with fewer people and began to collect.
Jiang Yu didn't know much about the spirit grass, and he really wanted to see what kind of collection methods these people had, but when he saw it, he was disappointed, because it was too inefficient. Their collection method is almost exhaustive, almost root-by-root to identify which one is the spirit grass. Jiang Yuxin said that with this kind of collection, picking ten catties is simply a joke. In addition, there were not many spiritual grasses in this valley in front of them, and this group of people collected them for a whole afternoon, and together, they only collected less than ten spiritual grasses. In order to see the skills of these people, Jiang Yu did not reveal his ability to identify spirit grass, he only picked one plant to make a appearance.
It was gradually getting night, and Jiang Yu and his party were sleeping in the wild. After all, it takes a long time to walk from the mountains to get here, and if you go back to rest, then all the time will be wasted on the road. When I came out this time, I originally planned to go back for ten days and eight days. But looking at such a little harvest, everyone's face is worried.
Jiang Yu lay on the edge of the bonfire, looking up at the thirteen peaks of Mingyu, in the dark night, the thirteen peaks of Mingyu were reflected by the moonlight, and the white peaks looked particularly beautiful.
"I've come to the Mingyu Altar to look for you, but where are you?
Jiang Yuxin said that he must find a way to go to Ling Xiaofeng to have a look, no matter what. However, the rules of the inner and outer courtyards in the Ming Jade Altar are very large, and the disciples of the outer courtyard are not allowed to step into the inner courtyard casually. As for Ling Xiaofeng, Jiang Yu and the others inquired, and heard that even the disciples of the inner courtyard were not allowed to enter, which was the order of the Ming Jade Altar Sect Master Miao Hua Zhenren when he was in retreat decades ago.
If you want to get close to Ling Xiao Peak, the most direct way is to become a disciple of the inner court. But the premise of this article is that you can't expose the characteristics of aura, as well as powerful sword skills.
"Isn't it just the fairy law, Lao Tzu can't play if you don't believe it!" Jiang Yu's heart was down, and he said that even if he learned it from scratch, with his eyes and resolute will, it shouldn't be difficult to become a disciple of the inner court. Thinking of this, Jiang Yu looked at the people in the same room who were asleep, he stood up and walked towards the depths of the valley.
"Jiang Yu, where are you going?" Li He shouted loudly behind him when he saw Jiang Yu leave.
"I'm going to collect spirit grass!" Jiang Yu replied without replying.
The spiritual grass in the nearby valley was almost all lit up by the disciples of the outer courtyard of the Unintentional Peak, even a person like Jiang Yu who could see the spiritual energy with his eyes, felt tired when he collected it, Jiang Yu simply let go of his steps and galloped, rushing forward all the way, and after watching the number of spiritual grasses around him gradually increase, Jiang Yu began to collect.
Jiang Yu collected all night, and the Ruyi bag was already filled with a lot of spiritual grass, but Jiang Yu roughly estimated that it was only about seven or eight catties, and if it was dried, it was estimated that it would be good to have two catties.
"Is this kind of task really suitable for newcomers?" Jiang Yu felt more and more that this was something that Ming Yutan planned to get out of for these newcomers, with his ability, if he really wanted to get ten catties of spirit grass, it was estimated that he would have to go all out for at least three or four days.
Jiang Yu was a little tired of collecting, found a small stream, drank some water, filled a whole sheepskin bag with a sheepskin bag, and then caught a dozen frogs and two orioles, and built a fire to roast and eat.
Jiang Yu planned to bake more and eat it on the way, after all, he didn't want to waste too much time on this kind of thing. While roasting frogs and orioles, he lowered his head and thought about all kinds of possible things, and when he suddenly looked up, he was startled, and he saw his side, I don't know when there was a girl in red clothes, and I saw her big eyes, long hair, and eyebrows, revealing an innocence and playfulness, and she looked fourteen or fifteen years old, and saw her ten fingers constantly knocking on each other, and her eyes were staring at herself, more precisely, staring at the frog she was roasting.
"Who are you, are you also from the Ming Jade Altar?" Jiang Yu asked with some surprise, saying that in this kind of deep mountains and dense forests, if you see a beast, it is not surprising, but seeing a person here, that is really a strange thing. He asked several times in a row, but the girl didn't answer him, just stared at him blankly.
"Hey, ...... you" Jiang Yu wanted to ask something, but he saw the girl frowning and muttering, "I'm going to burn ......"
"Scorched?" Jiang Yu noticed that the frog he roasted was really about to burn, and immediately moved the frog away from the flame and put it away. The girl's gaze did not leave the roasted frog in Tianqi's hand, swallowed her saliva, and said to herself, "It's so fragrant." ”
Jiang Yu still had to collect spirit grass, of course he didn't have time to talk to a strange woman here. took out a roasted frog and gave it to her, and said, "I'm inviting you!" The girl took the roasted frog and swallowed it in two bites, the speed was amazing, and before Jiang Yu could say leave, she had already finished eating. Looking at her appearance, Jiang Yuxin said that it seemed that she was much hungrier than me, and I heard the girl look at him and said: "I want to eat, I want to eat......" After she said five or six times in a row, Jiang Yu took out all the roasted frogs and handed them to her, she took them in her hand and ate them, looking down at Jiang Yu at all.
After Jiang Yu gave her all the roasted frogs, after a while, he felt that something was wrong. Because he really wanted to give her some food, but not all of it, but he didn't know why he gave it all to her.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yu was puzzled, thought about it, and said in his heart that just now he seemed to see this girl's eyes light up, and then he did something against his will in a daze.
"Is it witchcraft?" Jiang Yu felt strange, so he carefully looked at the girl who was still greedy, carefully observed her, looked at her and looked, but couldn't see why.
When the girl was gobbling up, she couldn't stop muttering something, but Jiang Yu couldn't understand what she said.
"She's the red fox among the spirits of the mixed world!, be careful!" The sword spirit appeared at the right time to remind, startling Jiang Yu.
"Red Fox!" Jiang Yu was taken aback, he had already heard that among the demon beasts, the fox demon was not the most powerful, but it was the smartest, the fox demon was good at transforming into a human form, proficient in human language, and good at ecstasy and demon arts, and among the many fox demons, the strongest was the red fox of the mixed world of the nine-tailed sky fox.
"What is she muttering?" Jiang Yu asked Sword Spirit curiously.
"Fox whispers, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" replied the Sword Spirit weakly.
"You still know fox language!" Jiang Yu just asked casually, but he didn't expect the sword spirit to be able to answer.
"Just a little. Sword Spirit replied.
When the little girl was gulping down, Jiang Yu heard a slight sound, as if there was a whip whipping something, Jiang Yu suddenly thought of something, turned sideways, and looked carefully behind the girl, and saw that behind the girl, there was a big red fluffy tail swinging back and forth, and the small pebbles on the ground were flying wildly.
"Sure enough, it's a red fox!"
Originally, Jiang Yu had planned to leave, but at this time, an idea suddenly sprouted in Jiang Yu's heart. People are the spirits of all things, but even if they have cultivated for thousands of years, some places may not be able to catch up with demon beasts, such as intuition and perception ability. Jiang Yuxin said that this red fox was probably very familiar with this neighborhood, and she would probably know where there were more spirit grasses.
The little girl quickly ate all the frogs Jiang Yu gave him, carefully touched her stomach, and burped gently, as if she was full. And when she saw Jiang Yu take out the roasted oriole bird, her eyes lit up again.
"I want to eat, I want to eat!" The little girl repeated her old tricks, this time Jiang Yu was on guard, the mirror in the spiritual solution was already waiting, the little girl sighed, and directly fell to the ground and covered her eyes and shouted pain.
"I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade!" the sword spirit did not forget to gloat and complain.
"Shut up!" Jiang Yu shouted. In fact, he didn't expect that his mirror reversal method would be so powerful. He carefully helped the little girl up, and the little girl looked at Jiang Yu in horror, shrunk in a corner, leaning against the tree, and didn't dare to move.
"I didn't mean to, and if you didn't use sorcery, you wouldn't have been hurt by me. If you're still hungry, I can still treat you to food. As Jiang Yu spoke, he handed a roasted oriole bird to the little girl, and ate the other one himself.
Although the little girl was a little frightened, she still reached out and grabbed the oriole bird and ate it with a big gulp.
"You live around here?" Jiang Yu asked as he ate.
"Yes. The little girl replied truthfully.
"Where is there more spirit grass around here?" Jiang Yu asked straight to the point.
"Spirit grass, is that kind of grass with aura?" the little girl asked blankly.
"That's right!" Jiang Yu responded.
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "The spiritual grass near here is almost all lit up by the disciples of the Immortal Sect on the mountain, but far to the south, there is a lake, and there are many spiritual grasses by the lake. It's just that it's the Purple King's territory, and grandma won't let me go. ”
"Grandma?" Jiang Yu looked at the little girl and found that although she didn't look very old, she was already a second-order demon beast, and the grandma in her mouth should be such a powerful character, most of them were already a character like a demon king. But Jiang Yu thought about it, and said in his heart that it was not right, how could Ming Yutan say that it was also an immortal gate. How can the side of the couch allow others to snore, how can such a fairy gate tolerate the existence of a demon king? But what this little fox demon said does not seem to be false.
"What is the Purple King?" Jiang Yu asked.
The little girl said: "It's a tiger demon, it's only a fourth-order, it's very powerful, and most of the places in the south are its territory." ”
"...... like this," Jiang Yuxin said that a fourth-order demon beast, even if it was a person from the Canghai Realm, it would probably be difficult to deal with. But near an immortal gate like the Ming Jade Altar, even if it is a fourth-order demon beast, it shouldn't be difficult to clean it up. If it means that the people in the jade altar did not find this tiger demon, it would be incredible
"My name is Jiang Yu, and I haven't asked you what your name is. Jiang Yu asked the little girl with a sideways look.
"I don't have a big name, my grandmother calls me Mei'er. The little fox named Mei'er replied. Through some conversations, she was no longer so afraid of Jiang Yu.
