Chapter 369: Southern Scenery

Before going on the road, Fei Tukong first went to the old customers who had been deceived by him in the past, and paid the cost of materials to others - of course, the money was also paid by Xiao Tianhe, who was rich in money. With the two large boxes of poisonous materials and medicinal materials that Marshal Xin gave to Xiao Tianhe, there is no need to rush the matter of casting the Eight Kings Ding. According to the meaning of Fei Fukong, casting should also pay attention to the time and place, the weather is good, and the environment is quiet, so as to enter the state faster and better. Therefore, the foundry shops in the noisy street markets of the city could not be counted on at all, and they had to try their luck at the trading bazaar if they wanted to build an ordinary sword, and if they wanted to buy high-quality casts.

Following his advice, Xiao Tianhe bought a fairy sword from the bazaar for Hua Qingyu to use. He also picked out a green light magic knife from the magic knife box given by Marshal Xin and named it "Shen Ying". Fei Tukong has a magic knife of his own. Zhao Xianglin, who had become a demon clan, could no longer feel the qi of heaven and earth, and returned the magic knife given to her by Xiao Tianhe stupidly.

"Since I'm no longer a demon cultivator, don't waste the magic sword. Wait until I choose a weapon style that I can use, and then forge a natal weapon. Zhao Xianglin forced a smile to comfort herself.

"The eldest sister turned out to be a demon clan! I'm so clumsy, I haven't even seen it. Fei Tukong was surprised.

Zhao Xianglin said lightly: "It's good if you can't see it." I'm afraid that few people in the human realm will have a good impression of the demon race. ”

"Actually, it doesn't make a difference. Isn't it the same as humans when the demon clan opens up its spiritual intelligence? Not to mention that there are some sanctimonious well-dressed beasts, and they don't do 'human' things. Fei Tukong recalled his life experience and sighed, "I really didn't expect that I would be a descendant of Hua Jun's lineage." My mother is really the same, why did you leave me and my father in the first place? Why didn't you teach me the skills of poison and medicine? In the end, I actually followed the master to practice treasure casting, and now I am afraid it will be too late to change it. ”

"My pulse has always only accepted female disciples, and they must be beautiful people. This was a suspicion of boasting, and Hua Qingyu's face blushed a little when she was hiding under the hat, "So even if you are a disciple of the main lineage, you can't teach it." ”

"This is the difference between 'descendants' and 'disciples', so don't be greedy. There are no advantages or disadvantages to the three skills and six skills, and if you can become a treasure casting master in the future, it is also very remarkable. Xiao Tianhe comforted, "By the way, didn't you see your mother's face when you transported the Eight Kings Ding?"

Fei Tukong pointed at Hua Qingyu and said: "It's like this, how can you see it?" Besides, I didn't know it was my mother at the time, if I knew, I would have taken off her hat anyway to take a good look." ”

"I don't know which ancestor of Lingtang is my lineage. "Hua Qingyu said.

Xiao Tianhe suddenly remembered something: "Hey, Sister Qingyu, don't you have a scroll there that records the people of the Huajun lineage? It's the one you once showed us when you first came to Zhuyuan, take it out and show it to Brother Fei, maybe he has some impressions." ”

"According to the rules of the lineage, that scroll was passed on to the disciples after they were accepted, and now it is in Ao Xue and Ling Shuang!" Hua Qingyu said helplessly.

Zhao Xianglin couldn't help but say: "Why do you have so many rules for Huajunmai......

Xiao Tianhe said with a smile: "What is this rule? You haven't seen anything more stringent! Hua Junmai has the rule of 'ten doctors and ten non-doctors', that's what is called powerful!"

These words naturally aroused the curiosity of Zhao and Fei. After Hua Qingyu explained clearly, the two of them praised one after another, Hua Jun's lineage is really a maverick lineage.

In this way, the four of them chatted about the past all the way and marched in the northeast direction. Fei Tukong is a person with a lot of words, he can interject no matter what topic, and Hua Qingyu and Xiao Tianhe naturally have a lot to say. Although Zhao Xianglin spoke occasionally, she didn't feel bored, and it was the first time she had heard of many things in the Great Red Realm. This is really a group of optimistic people, who are in a difficult situation and face risks, but still talk and laugh. As the saying goes: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge", which may be the so-called "heart tolerance of the four seas, and tolerance of the world".

It's late summer, and it's lush all around. In order to avoid incidents, Xiao Tianhe and his party took remote paths. At the end of the trail, the grass is chopped through the mountains, the trees are cut and the water is crossed, and the beautiful scenery of the southern region is like an endless picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of several people. The sun is scorching, hot and sweaty, and sometimes a black cloud and rainstorm hit, but I feel very comfortable. Accompanied by bees and butterflies all the way, birds and beasts, there is no fun. If you come across a place of clean water, it is even more gratifying. In the end, it is a place full of mountains and rivers, there are springs on the mountains, and the spring water is murmuring, trickling, and merging into a stream. The stream goes down the slope, and when it encounters a depression, it becomes a pond, and when it encounters a pit, it becomes a big ditch, and it becomes a river. The river runs through mountain streams, through valleys, and into lakes. The water is smoky, sparkling, and occasionally there are fish frolicking, spreading ripples. When the wind stops, the water is like a mirror. Reflecting the clouds, the time is still. If you look at it closely, you can see the bottom clearly, there is no silt and mud, and the fine sand is like cotton. The breeze is occasional, layers of wrinkled surfaces, cool and pleasant. The forest rustles with the wind. The willow branches fluttered, as if dancing lightly. The fragrance of grass is wafting, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant. In the butterflies, birds sing in the forest. Clear mountains and beautiful waters, relaxed and happy.

Everyone enjoyed while walking, and a month later, they entered the realm of Yao Treasure Domain.

The rivers between the mountains gradually merge into a large river, winding between the peaks and valleys, the deep mountains and old forests. Far from the prosperous state town, there are only a few villages scattered on the few flat lands along the river. It is not clear whether there are any masters of hidden cultivation between the mountains and forests, but there are many strange flowers and plants, poisons and strange insects. Hua Qingyu recognized and collected along the way, and the storage of poisons and drugs was much richer.

Early in the morning, after everyone had finished meditating, Fei Tukong got up and stretched, wiped the fine dew that had condensed in his hair after the night, and said to several people: "This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it is surrounded by forests and waters, and there is nothing in the way."

Weeds, it's a suitable place. Why don't you stop for a while, and I'll cast a tripod first, how about it?"

Zhao Xianglin pretended to be yin and yang: "Heh, you're finally going to do it? I don't know how long it will take to 'stay for a while'?"

"It's not a matter of days, years. The time span given by Fei Tukong is frighteningly large, "But the mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the environment is excellent, so it shouldn't take long." Take a step back and say, if there is no result in half a month, I will give up. During my forge, you'd better stay away and not disturb me. Of course, don't stay too far away from me, in case I am attacked, you have to protect me. ”

"Who will attack you in this uninhabited place? Besides, I'm afraid that the strength of several of us together is not as good as yours. Hua Qingyu covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone already knows Fei Tukong's true strength - the four elephant level, whether it is high or not, whether it is low or not, but it is much stronger than the other three.

Fei Tukong looked around: "I meant it for the eldest brother and uncle of the demon clan." Counting on you to protect me, heh, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died. ”

"You're this annoying mouth!" Zhao Xianglin twisted Fei Tukong's face and beckoned to the other two, "Let's go, so as not to disturb the work of the 'divine craftsman'." ”

"But, Brother Fei, you have no furnace and no platform, how can you forge a tripod out of thin air?" Xiao Tianhe asked curiously. He remembered that his mother-in-law Ye Congyun had forged a knife with his bare hands when he was on a lonely island, and judging from the strength of the wasted and the size of the Dan furnace, the same method didn't seem to work. "Ah, could it be that you can condense it into ice with Meng power and use it as a casting platform?" Xiao Tianhe suddenly recalled the hidden sword immortal he had encountered in a hidden cave a long, long time ago, when he was climbing the cliff in the Night Wailing Valley, and that sword immortal used his spiritual power to condense into an ice furnace in his palm, thus refining the purple iron into Dan.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Meng Li Condensing Ice? I don't have that ability. Even with this clear river water, a fire is not completely dissolved?" Fei Tukong shook his head and busily opened beside a casting platform that suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Apparently, he had kept the casting table with him in storage.

What a convenient way! This kind of convenience is unimaginable in the Great Equatorial Realm.

"Time is pressing, you can only cast a tripod first, you pick one. Fei Tukong knew Xiao Tianhe and Hua Qingyu's next plan, so he had just set a half-month deadline for himself just now.

Hua Jun's "Tai Chi Hun Tian Alchemy Method" has eight ways to promote fire and alchemy, each of which corresponds to a furnace tripod, so the material of the furnace tripod is different. Hua Qingyu pondered for a moment, in comparison, the fire of Qianding was the most important. First, the function of the fire is to calcine the impurities of the material, and the number of times it is used is the most; second, the fire is strong and lasting, so the corresponding furnace is also named after the "dry" of the temperament. The detachment of the flame is extremely durable, but the stiffness is soft, while the corresponding explosion of the vibration is sufficient strength and lack of durability. Therefore, only Qianding is the one with good rigidity and durability among the eight tripods.

After choosing the furnace ding, Fei Tukong began what he called "pre-casting meditation". This meditation is not for the purpose of cultivating spiritual power, but for calming the mind and stabilizing the mind, commonly known as "entering concentration".

Xiao Tianhe and the three of them left Fei Tukong alone by the river according to the agreement and left quietly. To be on the safe side, Hua Qingyu summoned Shen Shishen to hide in the woods to protect him secretly.

After walking out of the woods, Zhao Xianglin asked, "What are we going to do in half a month?"

"Cultivation. Xiao Tianhe replied very simply.

"You have to cultivate hard, the strength of the one-yuan level is not of much use at all, I don't want to trouble them all the time. Hua Qingyu agreed.

"Okay. Zhao Xianglin replied boringly. The cultivation speed of the demon clan was too slow, and there were no weapons, so she felt that it didn't make much difference whether she cultivated or not in the past half a month. She found a rock and sat down, holding her cheeks and looking at the two men. The more Xiao Tianhe and Hua Qingyu practiced swords and swords, the more unpleasant Zhao Xianglin's heart became. Finally, at dusk, she couldn't sit still, got up and said to the two men, "I'll go somewhere else." ”

Xiao Tianhe put away the knife and asked puzzledly: "There is no store in front of the village here, where are you going?"

"It's nearby. Zhao Xianglin felt that it was too boring to sit stupidly all the time.

Hua Qingyu also regained her momentum when she heard this, and proposed: "Then I'll let Miss Du accompany you." ”

Zhao Xianglin waved his hand: "Don't bother, are you all frightened by Fei Fukong's words? This place is empty, and there will be no danger." Besides, I'm not going far. I'll be back before midnight. ”

Xiao Tianhe and Hua Qingyu glanced at each other, and then nodded at Zhao Xianglin.

Zhao Xianglin picked up the hat that Hua Qingyu put aside and put it on, and said, "Sister, lend me this thing." Then he went down the hillside to the back of the mountain. Soon, her back disappeared into the grass.

"I finally cultivated to the Five Elements level, but I had to start all over again, and my cultivation speed was extremely slow, so it was no wonder that she was in a bad mood. Hua Qingyu looked at the direction of Zhao Xianglin's departure and said sympathetically, "This is somewhat similar to my original situation." It's just that I have Master's healing and care, and my strength has recovered quickly. ”

"After all, I hurt her. If she hadn't tried to protect me, she wouldn't have come to the point of being crushed. Xiao Tianhe sighed.

Hua Qingyu smiled, patted Xiao Tianhe's shoulder and comforted, "The world is unpredictable." If it were me, I would have rushed into the cave to save my friend. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. ”

"Perhaps, because you and I are the same people. Xiao Tianhedao, "Come, Sister Qingyu, let's try the battle." ”

Zhao Xianglin walked around the mountainside in the grass, one foot deep and one foot shallow, the fertile soil under her feet was trampled out of a line of footprints, but it was covered by the dense grass above, and no one could be seen passing by. The sky is getting darker and darker, and the rolling peaks and abrupt rocks cast strange black shadows on the slopes. Looking into the far distance towards the southeast sky, several bright spots are faintly flickering, I don't know whether they are lights or stars. The insects, who are not willing to be lonely, start singing cheerfully early, adding to the liveliness of the windless night. Passing through the grass, a little fluorescent light rose from it, and in a trance I thought it was stars flying in front of me. "What a beautiful night!" Zhao Xianglin said to herself.

But this wonderful peace was broken by a terrible cry. The person who screamed was none other than Zhao Xianglin herself. As soon as she finished admiring the soft and quiet night, she suddenly saw a flower in front of her, unsteady on her feet, and a sudden force grabbed her ankles, and before she could come back to her senses, she had been hung upside down in the air, swaying back and forth.

Struggling to look up, he saw two strands of vine rope on his left foot, the other end of which was tied firmly to a thick log around the branch. There is no doubt that she has stepped into a trap.

Zhao Xianglin's mind was thinking quickly, who set the trap in this wilderness, and for what purpose?

The group had just arrived here today, and they had temporarily left their companions to relax, so it was impossible for this trap to be deliberately set against them. Thinking of this, Zhao Xianglin was a little relieved, and comforted herself: "It's probably set up by the hunter to catch the beast, right? "I didn't carry a sharp blade with me, so I had to lean up and unbuckle the rope. But the rope is tightly wound, and it is impossible to untie it in such a laborious posture.

"Damn, when that hunter comes, I have to teach him a good lesson!" Zhao Xianglin smacked in his mouth, and struggled to lean back again to untie the rope.

Before she could touch the rope buckle, the other end of the rope suddenly loosened, and Zhao Xianglin fell down heavily with her back to the ground, grinning in pain. When I pulled the end of the rope, I saw that the end was neatly broken, and at first glance, it was cut off by a sharp blade.

"Okay, I'll just say how could I be so heavy, it turns out that someone is making trouble!" Zhao Xianglin ripped off the rope buckle on his foot and looked around. Suddenly, a strange movement in the grass a few feet away caught her attention. "Want to run, no way!" Zhao Xianglin pulled out his legs and hurriedly chased, the "Orion" may have been frightened, and he never dared to emerge from the grass, and he didn't run away fast.

Zhao Xianglin didn't have much effort to catch up with him, grabbed him by the back collar and lifted him up. A dirty face came into view, and his eyes were full of fear.

It's actually a child.

"You set the trap?" Seeing that the other party was just a child, Zhao Xianglin's heart softened by seven points, and most of his anger subsided.

The boy nodded in horror: "I'm sorry, you can't kill me, if you kill me, you'll be guilty!"

Zhao Xianglin reprimanded with tears and laughter: "You still dare to threaten me?"

"Really, if you go with a knife, you'll have three lives!" replied the boy earnestly.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhao Xianglin asked with interest.

"There are two younger sisters waiting for me to go back, and if I die here, they won't be able to make it out of this mountain alive!" the boy was so anxious that tears rolled in his eyes, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"I want to have a knife, and I need to wait until you let me down?" Zhao Xianglin put the boy down and helped him tidy up the collar of his torn clothes, "Besides, my face is so fierce, how can I kill a little kid like you for such a small thing?"

The boy's tears flowed down at once, from sobbing to wailing, and the more he cried, the more sad he became.

"I said I wouldn't kill you, why are you crying?"

The boy suddenly fell at Zhao Xianglin's feet, hugged her leg and begged: "Sister, good sister, you take me and my sister out! In two days, I'm afraid we will all die here!"

Zhao Xianglin squatted down and wiped his tears with his sleeve: "Don't cry! Say it slowly, what's going on?"

The boy cried bitterly: "We followed our parents to the mountains as guests, but they were killed by the gang! The leader of the villains also said that we should be given seven days to escape from the mountains, or they would take us back and drink!"

"What? They still eat people?" Zhao Xianglin was startled, the person who could say things like "drinking with children" was definitely an extremely vicious guy.

My sisters and I were thirsty and hungry, chewing grass roots, gnawing tree bark, and drinking water from the river to get here. But four days had passed, and the two sisters were too hungry to go any further, and I had no strength to flee with them, so I thought of a trap to catch a wild boar to fill my stomach. Unexpectedly, the wild boar was not caught, but it caught your sister, you ......," the little boy said aggrievedly.

"Alas, children who have not cultivated will indeed go hungry. Zhao Xianglin looked back at the rope made of vines, and said, "Your hands are quite skillful, the rope is very strong, and it can indeed catch the wild boar." But what if you catch a boar? With the dagger you have with you, can you kill it? It is better to catch a hare. ”

"My father taught me how to weave the rope. The hare is too small and smart to catch. It's still a wild boar, stupid, and a lot of meat. Then I stabbed it in the heart, drained the blood, and lit a fire and roasted it for two hours, and my sister and I had meat to eat!" said the boy, gesturing as if the roasted wild boar was right in front of his eyes.

"Let's go, take me to your two sisters. Sister will take you out of the mountains!" Seeing that the road was uneven, Zhao Xianglin naturally wanted to "draw a knife to help".
