Chapters 2-4 The Divine Ao and the Bait
Ye Chen was thinking about not alarming the people in the house to go out. As a result, as soon as the door was closed, his head was patted off.
It scared him. In the blink of an eye, there was a woman standing behind her. The woman is none other than the Miss Tong brought by Zhou Da.
Tong Mei didn't feel sleepy and came out to blow the wind. I didn't want to see Ye Chen sneaking out. This girl was also bold, and actually approached Ye Chen to pat her.
Ye Chen just wanted to say a few words to her. Tong Mei opened her mouth instead
"What are you doing? I want to run away after receiving the money! Heh, don't take it if you don't have the ability. Why can't I go to the dungeon this time? You, let's rest honestly, Uncle Zhou and I are discussing whether we can get it!"
It's not that Tong Mei is scathing, but Ye Chen made her very uncomfortable when she raised the price. The people she met and dealt with since she was a child. No one is as worldly as Ye Chen. Now seeing Ye Chen like this, it seems that she is going to run away, no wonder she is angry.
Ye Chen stretched out his hands.
"I'm going to pick up some things, it's inconvenient to take you with me. Now that you have seen it. It's okay for me to take you with me."
There was a lot of noise outside, but there was no sleep inside. Chen Qiang got up and wanted to follow, but Zhou Da stopped him.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen, let them go with the young people. It's not early, let's rest. They're still on their way."
Ye Chen and the others took advantage of the moonlight and went all the way to the west. About half an hour later. They came to the swamp to the west of the village.
This swamp is also strange, there are no mosquitoes and flies, only the sound of frogs. Ye Chen pulled Tong Mei to a tree. Close your eyes.
"Wait, that thing will come out today to absorb Yuehua"
Just when Tong Mei was drowsy, Ye Chen patted him on the shoulder. Pointed to the moon in the sky.
The moon had risen to its highest point, and the silver light shone on the large stone not far away. Then a toad, the size of a basin, with a hint of purple tinge. Jump on the big rock.
The moonlight shone on the toad's body, and I saw some white mist rising from the toad's body.
Ye Chen took out the box and took out the red spirit bead given by Zhou Da.
Gently throwing it out, the red spirit bead rolled all the way to the side of the big stone where the toad was.
The Red Spirit Bead glows a little red in the night. Attract the toad at once. The toad was also not absorbing the moonlight, and looked around vigilantly.
Then the long tongue rolled and wrapped the red spirit bead. I want to jump into the swamp. But how could Ye Chen let it get his wish, at the moment when the toad made a move. Throw the net around your waist over the toad.
Ye Chen trapped the toad in the tree, took out a pure yang needle, and pierced the toad's belly with rubber gloves. The toad couldn't stand it and hurriedly used the red spirit bead to resist.
Ye Chen was in a needle, and the toad directly spit out the red spirit bead.
"My next trip to the swamp, you stare at this toad. It won't be too long," and then handed over the gloves and the red spirit beads.
Ye Chen went down to the swamp and saw a golden light shining below. Dive faster.
Ye Chen went down twice and hugged him. They are all yellow and white, and the gold and silver are fine and soft.
Everything was brought up, and Ye Chen came to the tree next to him. The bark of the tree had been corroded by toads, and puffs of white smoke were emitted.
Ye Chen untied the net. The toad pounced. Jump into the swamp.
Tong Mei was a little dazed. My own family made a fortune from a pawn shop. There are a bunch of them on the ground, at least a million of them.
This is not because of money, one of the four families in the capital of the Tong family. Assets are calculated in the form of 100 million. This million is nothing to her.
Even in the face of Ye Chen's price increase, Zhou Da agreed to be happy. However, the basin-sized toad that swallows the mist and the yellow and white things found in the toad's burrow.
It also surprised Tong Mei. After all, this strange thing that can only be found in books actually exists.
Just when Tong Mei was stunned, Ye Chen shook his hand in front of her eyes.
"It's okay"
He took out a hairpin, which was made of gold all over, and the blooming peony was inlaid with agate and jade. Hand it to Tong Mei.
"You didn't do anything, you just watched the show. This one is for you, and the rest is mine, you can't grab it. ”
Tong Mei glanced at Ye Chen and said:
"Am I so obsessed with money?!I think everyone thinks like you. But the hairpin is very beautiful, so I will take it."
Ye Chen, who was covered in mud, put away the loot in his hand.
"Let's go, I'll go wash up. Let's go home."
"Where are you going?"
"A reservoir"
Walk on the road.
Tong Mei is an idle master, nodding Ye Chen with her hand.
"Why is this toad hole so much gold and silver?"
Ye Chen glanced at her and looked at her curious eyes. I couldn't help but laugh
"This toad is also called a toad among the people. If this toad wants to cultivate, it has to rely on golden treasures, and only with treasures can it cultivate. Therefore, this toad will take the initiative to hunt for treasure to help him cultivate. ”
"But the one we met is just an ordinary toad that has a bit of a way, and the really powerful toad among the toads is the three-legged golden toad.
I heard my grandfather say that there was a family surnamed Shen in the Ming Dynasty. I was lucky enough to get a three-legged golden toad and put it in the Grand Canal. The canal is full of people, and it is inevitable that family members, women, and businessmen will drop something. They were all taken into their own holes by the golden toad. The Shen family reaped it every ten years and made a fortune from this. became a huge wealth, but this hindered the cultivation of heaven and earth spiritual creatures. In the end, he was robbed, and he was beheaded all over the house."
"Then you're not destroying that toad's cultivation either?"
"No, I left some for the toad. Besides, that toad still dares to seek revenge on me? Don't worry, the toad will go to find the treasure on his own. But the toad is not a few hundred years old, I'm afraid it won't be able to return to the previous scale."
In the swamp, in the toad hole. The frog roared and there was only one gold bracelet left in the cave. If it weren't for the light weight, it would have been taken away.
After a while, he came to the reservoir that Ye Chen said, saying that it was a reservoir, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a small lake. As far as the eye can see, there are fireflies in the grass.
Some flew into the sky as if to compete with the bright moon. Some fell on Tong Mei's shoulders, the breeze in her ears blew gently, and the rustling sound of the trees next to her and the chirping of insects combined with the music of nature, and also blew the surface of the lake like a fairy mirror.
"Has it always been so beautiful here?"
Tong Mei's eyes were a little stupid.
Ye Chen didn't reply to her, and found a flatter place. Picked up some wood and lit a fire.
Then he washed the gold and silver that had come out of the swamp. I jump into the water by myself and wash it up.
When Ye Chen came ashore, the two sat by the fire.
Tong Mei asked. "What do you want so much money for, even if you don't go to Changbai Mountain with us. The treasures you get from the toad cave are enough for you two to live for a lifetime."
Ye Chen was silent, and it took a long time before he spoke
"Ye Laoxi, it's not my own grandfather. I was picked up by him, and he saved me and kept me by his side. He was dying when he picked me up in the tomb. It took a lot of energy and money to raise me to this big and teach me a lot of skills. I am a son of yin, and I was put into my body by the yin qi in the tomb, I couldn't have lived for so long, but he helped me change my life. I'm eighteen years old and want to go out and break through to see if I can get rid of my yin energy, and I want to break out on my own for the rest of my life. I don't know how many pills there are under the underground palace of Changbai Mountain, and I don't know if I can resolve my problems. I don't have anything to leave for Grandpa, I just want to leave more money for him to live comfortably!"
"But my life is up to me, not to God, even if God wants me to die, I won't be caught obediently!"
Ye Chen took back the Chiling Bead from Tong Mei. Shout three times at the reservoir.
"Ao Ye"
"Ao Ye"
"Ao Ye"
Throw the Red Spirit Bead into the reservoir. A huge black shadow struck and leaped out of the water. Swallow the Red Spirit Bead in mid-air. Tong Mei saw clearly by the moonlight the appearance of the giant monster. A red carp, more than ten meters long, with a large mouth full of sharp teeth. Glistening in the moonlight. It has a single horn on its head. There are rows of bone spurs on the back.
"Good stuff, very nice"
The sound was like two steel plates rubbing against each other, cold and piercing.
"Master Ao, give us two whole fish to eat"
Underwater monsters.
Smack————
Two herring fish were brought out of the water. Ye Chen hurriedly went over to pick it up, knocked it out at which stone, took out a knife again, disemboweled the fish, washed it in the water, and then picked up the stick and ran up. It's obviously not the first time I've done this.
handed a fish to Tong Mei, and took out two bottles of seasoning from the bag. While grilling fish, he explained to Tong Mei
"It is also a dragon species, the so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, and it dominates, and you see that this strange fish is Ao. When the carp has a single horn that grows from the Tao, it is not a fish, but a fish."
When Tong Mei finished eating the last bite, Ye Chen extinguished the fire. A pair of big red lanterns appeared in the reservoir, which were the eyes of Daao. An icy voice rang out.
"Boy, come and take the scales from under my horn. If you are trapped underground, find the dark river and put the scales into the water, I will sense the water in the world, and I will naturally come to the rescue when the time comes. ”
After removing the scales, Ye Chen took Tong Mei on the way back. I heard a soft sigh from the depths of the reservoir.
"Don't die, I promised you to take you to the East China Sea"
Ye Chen seemed to feel something and waved his hand.
"Got it"
The sun showed Phnom Penh, and two people came out of the country road. It was Ye Chen and Tong Mei who returned from treasure hunting.
In the hut, Zhou Da and Chen Qiang had already woken up. Punching in the yard. Ye Chen pushed open the door and said with a smile.
"Uncle Zhou and Brother Chen got up really early, did they sleep well last night?"
Zhou Da said angrily, "Miss has been deceived by you, how can we sleep?"
Ye Chen saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"Uncle Zhou, I'll clean up, and we'll set off immediately. It's a matter of time sooner rather than later."
Zhou Da nodded, and then pulled Tong Mei over and asked if she was hurt and what she did last night.
Ye Chen walked into his small room and found a black box under the bed.
came to Ye Laoxi's room again and opened a large box. There was a cowhide bag inside, which Ye Laoxie specially prepared for him, and it contained some things to deal with mountain spirits and wild monsters.
Put your stuff in the car and everything is ready to go. Ye Chen put his hand on the window of the car and whispered
"I will definitely come back, Grandpa" Ye Chen and his party left.
In the mountain behind Yangjia Village, an old man with blue-gray hair combed back and sat on a large bluestone, took out the tobacco on his waist and put it into the cigarette stick, and lit a fire.
A pair of eyes flashed from time to time, staring at the direction of Ye Chen and his party.
"Are they all gone?"
A charming voice came from behind him
"Gone, why don't you want to go and see"
Looking at the old man, there was not a bewitching woman behind him, but a big yellow fox.
There seemed to be some mist floating in the dark green pupils. The sound came out of its mouth.
"That thing is not easy to deal with, it has already exceeded the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. The small leaves are full of yin qi and are the best bait. Now that he is gone, he has dissolved the yin qi. We're afraid ......"
The fox didn't say any more, but the old man understood what it meant.
"Look at the child's creation, and the ashes are still in the hands of the thing. I'm going to make a move, and I'll find a way to solve the bait thing. ”
The old man spat out a round of smoke rings.
"The fox clan tends to be auspicious and avoid evil, and this time we are afraid that there will be more evil and less auspicious. If you don't want to go, I won't blame you."
A huge night owl in the air cooed. It seems that he is dissatisfied with the old man's words.
"You saved my life, and I would have died without you. Isn't it just hundreds of years of cultivation, whether it is life or death, we will accompany you on a journey" Before the words fell, the big fox escaped into the forest.
Four people driving all the way to Changbai Mountain. Chen Qiang drove the car, Zhou Da sat in the co-pilot, and Ye Chen and Tong Mei sat in the back. Zhou Da took the initiative to chat, and this trip went to Changbai Mountain.
"Changbai Mountain is a place where spiritual energy gathers, and now there is no shortage of mountain spirits and wild monsters, and things to cultivate. The most famous are the Northeast Five Immortals. You know we're dry, right?"
Ye Chen also had a slight understanding of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
"In the early years, the pawnshop was called Yaxing, and there was a wild boar tooth hanging on the outside, and there were eight holes in the tooth to represent the eight major rows. In addition to the eight holes, there is also a small hole, which is dedicated to collecting "outer eight elements" things. The Tong family received everything, and it was because of this that he made a fortune. Counting the tooth shops from the south to the north, who doesn't know that the Tong family's tooth shop can be said to be the first"
Tong Mei muttered "less sycophants"
Zhou Da's eyes lit up, and what Ye Chen said was to the point. The Tong family is a big family with a thriving population, but this family is rich. It's not necessarily a good thing, the young people in the clan don't learn and don't know how to do it, and they are good at losing their skills. Zhou Da also had a lot of contact. He was disgusted with that kind of young man.
"Ye Xiaozi is right, we accept all eight things inside and outside the dental shop. A while ago, I received a picture of a tomb robber family. There is a large tomb in the drawing, and there is an elixir in the tomb. Immortality is not necessarily true, but this pill is not fake, and it can cure all diseases. The old lady of the Tong family once participated in the mage war on the border. Although he survived, he fell ill. Now that his old health is not as good as before, the witch Gu has shown signs of recovery. This matter is very important, we want your master to go to that Changbai Mountain to get the elixir."
"Is there a big war between the Central Plains and the South Seas. Ye Chen fell into deep thought. Not only did they want to save the old lady, but the Tong family wanted to know the inside story of that big event.
I understood the ins and outs clearly, and the sleepiness of not sleeping all night gradually hit. Ye Chen's eyelids went straight to the drum kit. road
"I'll squint for a moment"
