Chapter 316: What a Clever Girl
It is worthy of being a high-grade spiritual rice!
After Qian Liu finished grinding the seventh grain of spiritual rice, he felt that his hunger was suppressed.
Fu carefully folded the small paper bag, put it back in the storage bag, quickly sorted out her clothes, leaned over and lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked out.
An icy chill smashed straight in.
She was very surprised, shivered vigorously, "snapped", and lowered the curtain.
It's cold!
Is it night?
I've slept for so long!
Qian Liu thought that he had only slept for half a day, but now it is at most in the afternoon. So, without even putting on that thick cotton robe, I planned to go out.
Thinking that her senior brother had been alone outside, she put on a thick cotton robe as fast as she could, got up and walked out of the tent.
It was already dark.
Based on her experience these days, she quickly judged from the cold on the high platform that it was almost midnight.
Generally speaking, at this point, the water ghosts will stop for a while.
However, in the past fifteen days, she has also bumped into two times when she was unlucky, and the last group of water ghosts happened to get out of the sea when they stepped on the seeds.
It seems that today is not very lucky.
Because the senior brother is playing that tune at this time.
In the middle of the night, it is the coldest time of the day on the high platform. No, Qian Liu just came out of the small tent, and most of the heat on his body had already dissipated, and the tips of his fingers were almost frozen.
She sighed, moved her body quickly, drew her long sword, pressed the empty scabbard tightly to the thick railing, and then put one ear on the scabbard, and listened carefully with bated breath.
This is a method she learned from Sister Ah Hua when she was in the women's camp. You can use it to amplify small movements around you.
The water ghosts are silent in their every move. However, when they leave the sea and climb high platforms, they will occasionally drop black droplets from their bodies. These droplets fall to the base of the high platform, and they make a "click" sound just like ordinary water droplets when they hit the ground.
The sound was very small, and with her current ear power, it was impossible to hear the sound of a drop of water falling on the base from such a distance.
However, the number of water ghosts increased, and the number of black water droplets dripping at the same time also increased. As soon as the empty scabbard was enlarged, Qian Liu could hear it more clearly. After so many days of fighting, she was able to accurately judge how high the water ghosts had climbed by the sound of water droplets.
When listening, Qian Liu's movements were very careful, and he tried his best to avoid any contact with the thick railing.
It's not that I'm worried about alarming the water ghosts or disturbing the senior brother. But the railing at this time is also very cold, which is comparable to ice. If the skin accidentally touches the surface of the railing, it will immediately stick to it, causing unnecessary damage.
No water droplets were heard. That is, the water ghosts did not climb the high platform.
Qian Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put away the empty scabbard, cautiously lifted a corner of the oilcloth, squinted his eyes, and looked outside.
On the surface of the sea, the sparse water ghosts only showed most of their heads. And they're all badly deformed. After a few breaths, the ghosts sank completely into the surface of the sea and disappeared.
The number of water ghosts is wrong, too few! Qian Liu felt very strange in his heart.
At this moment, Shen Yun closed his voice and put down the green frost.
Qian Liu stepped forward and greeted, "Senior brother, this should be the last batch of water ghosts tonight." Have you been on it? Next, it's up to me to keep an eye on it. ”
Shen Yun also thought that there would be no more water ghosts in the sea tonight, and when he heard this, he turned around and smiled at her, shook his body, jumped off the empty railing gently, stood in front of her, and said, "I'm not sleepy." But you, did you sleep well?"
With him here, how can he really want the little girl to rotate? I said that before, but I knew that the little girl was a more serious character, and I was afraid that she would not agree to make up for sleep, so I just coaxed her casually.
Sure enough, the little girl took it seriously.
Qian Liu hurriedly replied: "Senior brother, don't worry about me, I have made up for my ......sleep," his mind changed, and he added, "I was also full of food in it just now." Senior brother has probably not closed his eyes since last night, so hurry up and take a rest. ”
"You're too worried at a young age. Shen Yun raised his hand, gently rubbed her head, and said with a warm smile, "The higher a monk's cultivation, the greater the need for sleep. At my level, it's normal to not fit my eyes for a few days and nights. It's just that I can't fit my eyes for a day and a night, where will I be sleepy?"
This is naturally a half-truth.
Ordinary Venerable Masters of the Yuan Dynasty really only need to sleep for a few hours a month, which is enough.
But he's different.
First of all, he is not a master of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, he only cultivated to the equivalent of the Yuan Hou Realm. In many ways, it is different from the real Yuan Hou Realm. The need for sleep is one of the different things. In addition, due to years of habit, he would squint for a while every night in the second half of the night;
Secondly, the rise and fall of the surrounding temperature played "Wentian" for him, which greatly increased his consumption. Although it was much easier than climbing the giant bone, he was indeed a little sleepy now.
But it's far from the point where only the little girl of the Innate Realm cultivation comes over for him for one night.
At this time, on the high platform, it was simply puffed into ice.
He has a deep cultivation to protect his body, and he is used to staying in the ice and snow secret realm, so he is never afraid of the cold.
But the little girl is different.
I didn't see that it had only come out for a while, and my face was so cold that it seemed to be wrapped in a thin layer of wax.
At this point, he can't leave the little girl outside, and she will be cold.
Of course, Qian Liu refused to listen - she said okay, after she made up for sleep, she would change her senior brother to rest.
She insisted: "Senior brother, when the day dawns, these water ghosts will emerge from the sea one by one. It's like this every day, endlessly. If you don't take care of your spirit now, you will be dragged down by them. ”
Unexpectedly, Shen Yun raised the green frost in his hand, and said with a confident smile: "Your experience is outdated." ”
"What?" Qian Liu didn't know where he was wrong.
"It's probably because of the tune I played. From noon, the number of water ghosts dropped sharply. When it comes to the batch just now, you can also see, the number is less than half of the first batch in the early morning. Shen Yun said.
From this, he guessed that there could be fewer water ghosts here, and then, would they be completely eliminated? Once the water ghosts were eliminated, would this place change......
Looking at the boundless black sea, he temporarily changed his original plan to take Qian Liu away in the middle of the night.
"I thought it was strange just now, the number of water ghosts is wrong. The number of water ghosts that came out at the end of the day would not be much different from the number of the first batch. The next morning, the first batch of water ghosts was about the same. Qian Liu's eyes widened, and he asked urgently, "Senior brother, do you say, will there be fewer and fewer water ghosts?"
"It's not certain yet, we'll find out tomorrow. Shen Yun looked at the little girl and praised in his heart: What a smart girl!
The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight fell on the sea, soon the water ghosts reappeared.
As Shen Yun expected, their numbers really decreased sharply.
Qian Liu's previous experience is still correct. The number of the first batch of water ghosts is about the same as the last group last night.
In this way, given time, the water ghost can really be completely eliminated? Shen Yun suddenly came to his senses.
