"Your doll actually met a gray ape? Well, it's luck that you were able to survive. An Jiuwen glanced at him, took a sip of wine, and said: "Our village has existed hundreds of years ago, when the ancestors wanted to escape the war, so they found a mountain forest to live in seclusion, and gradually, there were hundreds of families. ”

"Of course, there are more than these people, but from time to time there are people who want to move out of the mountains and live outside. For example, a few months ago, there was a kid from the Xu family who dragged his family to live in the city outside. Li Qingxuan coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Uncle, in fact, the younger generation wants to know about these fierce beasts." ”

"Oh, old man, I'm far away. An Jiu Weng grinned and said, "These things, if you forget it, should have appeared decades ago. Originally, the village hunted and fished for a living, but it was passed down from generation to generation, but it was also peaceful. ”

"Just a few decades ago, a red-eyed black wolf, suddenly jumped over the fence in the village, took away a child, when the bow and arrows were fired, it was shot into a hedgehog, but it did not expect it to shake its body, and the arrows were shaken off, everyone knew that it had rough skin and thick flesh, and even the arrows could not be injured. ”

"After this, it was not uncommon for people to go out hunting and not return, only to find out later that there were several wild beasts, all of which had turned red eyes, and their fur had turned white or black. "This beast has a fierce temperament, and loves to hunt for food, and its flesh is thick, and it is difficult to be wounded by arrows, and it does not have the same deep wound as it used to be, but only the surface. ”

An Jiu Weng sighed: "In fact, before the black wolf, there were often people hunting, and they couldn't come back. But after that, everyone knew that it was because of this fierce beast. Li Qingxuan listened quietly and said to himself: "There has been no such fierce beast for hundreds of years, and it suddenly appeared decades ago? Could it be related to the spiritual vein?"

"It is said that the spiritual veins have evil qi, it is a place that cultivators dream of, if there is any change, it should have been discovered a long time ago, but Pei Ge Lao gave this return to Si Tiantai, and Si Tiantai attached so much importance to it, obviously he had not discovered this place before. Li Qingxuan just listened quietly to An Jiuweng's words, but did not interject.

An Jiuweng was a little embarrassed when he talked about what happened back then, and said: "If it wasn't for the discovery of purple fluorite, everyone would have moved out of here, but later it was found that these fierce beasts were afraid of purple fluorite, so they could find a way." Later, he crushed the purple fluorite into powder and sprinkled it on the weapon, and found that as long as it injured the fierce beast, the fierce beast was like poisoning. "With something like purple fluorite, this village can be considered preserved. ”

An Jiuweng looked at the sky and said: "At that time, there was still a war outside, and I heard that it was the British Duke Xu Jingye who raised troops to resist the usurpation of power and throne by Empress Wu. If you had moved out of the mountains and gone outside, you might have been affected by the war, and it would have been gone. As for now, with purple fluorite, he is not afraid of fierce beasts, so he has lived again, and it has been decades now. ”

When Li Qingxuan heard this, he finally asked, "What is that purple fluorite?" An Jiuweng said: "It was dug up in the mountains, and there was originally a family that wanted to pick up soil to fill the ditch, but the purple fluorite was dug up. The hill was right behind, and all the purple fluorites came out of there. Li Qingxuan became interested and said, "Purple fluorite?" I want to see it. ”

"Want to see it?" An Jiu Weng smiled, "Don't bother, I have it here." He took out a stone from his bosom, purple red throughout, and in the gray sky, it appeared to have a purplish glow. Li Qingxuan took the purple fluorite, and suddenly felt a little hot, but it was very familiar.

An Jiuweng saw the young man playing with the purple fluorite, and said with a smile: "This thing is ground into powder, stirred with some water, and smeared on the weapon, so you won't be afraid of fierce beasts." I saw that your doll was carrying a sword, so I will give you a little. As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a small packet of powder from his bosom. Li Qingxuan took it respectfully, opened it and looked at it, only to feel more and more familiar, he twisted up some red powder, sniffed it on the tip of his nose, frowned and thought for a long time.

"Cinnabar?" a word passed through Li Qingxuan's mind. Isn't this cinnabar? But this bag of cinnabar is actually purer than the cinnabar from Zhongnan Mountain? How is this possible? How can the stones dug out in the mountains become cinnabar after being crushed into powder?

Even if it is natural cinnabar, it is even purer than the cinnabar that Cui Luoshuang gave him, and you must know that the cinnabar is produced in Zhongnan Mountain, which is known as the holy land of Taoism! What is going on? Li Qingxuan was shocked and unspeakable. Cinnabar, also known as dansha, red dan, and mercury sand, is also a Chinese medicinal material, with calming and calming effects. Cinnabar is water-based and is one of the important medicinal materials of Taoist alchemy.

Cinnabar is a mercury substance, which is originally water-based, but in many Taoist books, it is recorded as a thing of the sun. According to Li Qingxuan's point of view, it is about the opposite of the extremes of things, and the yang of the cathode. Cinnabar is known as the thing of the sun, but the impurities are difficult to clear, so there are advantages and disadvantages. And the self of Zhongnan Mountain is the best, and it has been refined by Taoist priests in the furnace, and the impurities have been removed, which is even better.

However, the powder ground into this purple fluorite is actually purer than the cinnabar of Zhongnan Mountain, and if it is used to draw symbols, I am afraid that the effect will be more than two points. But after Li Qingxuan looked carefully, he found that this was not cinnabar, but it was very similar, probably because the composition was similar, but it was not bad to replace cinnabar with this purple fluorite powder.

Even, it is much better than the cinnabar that is sold outside. "If it is said that cinnabar is divided into three, six, nine and so on, then this purple fluorite powder is only afraid that it can be compared to the excellent quality of those on Zhongnan Mountain. Li Qingxuan only felt that heaven and earth were created, and it was really magical. An Jiuweng smiled: "You want purple fluorite?"

Li Qingxuan nodded slightly, but he was also a little apprehensive, those gray apes and other fierce creatures were more powerful than ordinary beasts, if there was no purple fluorite, it would be difficult for the hunters in this mountain to protect themselves. There is no need to say how important purple fluorite is in this village. An Jiuweng didn't care too much, but said: "There are a lot of these things, if you want them, just go and ask Xu Tao for some, he has a lot of stock there." ”

At this moment, Xu Tao had come from the village, it was evening, and the work had stopped, at this time the man was quite leisurely, he held a cucumber-like melon in his hand, took a bite, and chewed. Li Qingxuan was about to ask him for some purple fluorite powder, when he suddenly saw the half of the yellow melon fruit in his hand, and he was immediately stunned.

At this moment, in the heart of this scholar, it was as if he had been hit hard. This feeling of shock is almost comparable to the moment when the Immortals were struck by thunder in the Flying Ascension Diagram. "...... you" "What's wrong?" Xu Tao took another bite of melon fruit. The skin of the papaya is dark yellow, the shape is oval, the size of the palm, the melon is red, the taste is sweet, and it can be used in medicine.

It is rumored that there are pacropurs growing in the 100,000 mountains in the southwest of Nanzhao Kingdom, but other than that, there are no other places where there are pacrops. The half of the melon fruit in Xu Tao's hand, the skin is dark yellow, the melon is red, and the fragrance is tangy, it is the peachmelon. Li Qingxuan reported a lot of medicinal materials to Master Thorn Shi Cui and Pei Ge Lao, which were either precious or rare, but most of them were expected to be obtained, but the cost might be higher.

Among these medicinal materials, there are three main drugs and seven auxiliary materials, Li Qingxuan has only heard of it, and most of them have never seen it, even those who have been familiar with medical books since childhood. Therefore, for these medicinal materials, Li Qingxuan always felt that there was little hope. But at this time, seeing half a piece of papaya in Xu Tao's hand, Li Qingxuan was stunned as if he had been hit by thunder.

Plum melon, one of the seven auxiliary materials. When he saw the medicinal materials that could not be found all over the time, chewing them like vegetables and fruits in Xu Tao's hands, Li Qingxuan's heart was extremely complicated. If you change your personality and are impatient, maybe you should draw your sword and slash it. "Do you want to eat this?" Xu Tao said: "There is still half a basket at home, and you can eat it when you go home later." ”

Li Qingxuan was a little stunned and silent. "This thing grows from an unknown tree, but it's strange to say, ordinary melons and fruits grow once a year, but this thing only comes out once every three years." An Jiu Weng said, "This thing is not of great use, it is neither poisonous nor medicative, but it tastes sweet, and it is much better than many fruits." ”

Growing once every three years? Li Qingxuan was not surprised by this, this kind of medicinal material that was recorded on the Enlightenment True Sword Dao and used to cultivate the sword pill was strange if it was common. Li Qingxuan took a deep breath and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

An Jiu Weng pointed to the east and said, "On the mountain of purple fluorite, there are seven or eight big trees, and the big trees grow two or three zhang high, and these melons and fruits grow from those seven or eight big trees. "Purple fluorite, kawira. These two things actually grow in one place, could it be that with purple fluorite, can you grow a cascada?

Papaya can actually be used in medicine, which has the effect of relaxing tendons and activating the nerves, and dissolving dampness in the stomach. It's just that ordinary doctors don't know, and papaya is really rare, and it is reasonable that it is not recorded in ordinary medical books. In any case, an adjuvant was finally found. The land of spiritual veins has not yet been found, but if you get the peachmelon, you are already happy.

Li Qingxuan thought secretly: "Since it is so strange there, maybe there is something special, and I can't find the spiritual veins left and right, why don't I go there and have a look?" When he asked, An Jiuweng and Xu Tao did not object. It's just that Xu Tao said: "There are many beasts around here, and those fierce beasts are often haunted, it is not good to go out at night, tomorrow I will send you some purple fluorite powder, you sprinkle it on your body, you can avoid some beasts and fierce creatures." ”

Listening to Xu Tao's words, he will not lead him forward, but just point out the direction. This is not surprising, after all, Xu Tao supports his family, also has to hunt and fish, and chopping wood and carrying water These chores are a lot every day, how can there be time to accompany him around? Even so, Li Qingxuan still bowed down to thank him. So I waited for tomorrow to dawn.

That night, Li Qingxuan took eight or nine papaya melons at Xu Tao's house and put them in the package. Finally got a rare adjuvant. At night, the moon is white and the wind is clear, and there is no sound in the whole village, only the sound of crickets comes far away. Li Qingxuan had the golden pill jade liquid in his mouth, and he used his true qi to gradually wash away and increase his cultivation.

When the feats were completed, Li Qingxuan only felt refreshed, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and smiled a little. In this village, there is a lot to gain. He still has some silver taels on him, but in this village, silver taels are useless, not as good as a few pieces of jerky. Li Qingxuan consciously ate a big meal from Xu Tao and got a peachmelon, so he should always give Xu Tao some compensation, so he thought about it and was silent.

Suddenly, there were several cacophony voices, some panicked, some roaring, some angry. Li Qingxuan was suddenly startled, and saw many people outside the window, each holding a sword and a longbow. "What's going on?" "A white ape sneaked into the village and captured Xiaoqing. ”

"How is it possible? There are purple fluorites buried in the village, and some purple fluorites are also buried in a radius of three or four miles outside the village, and some stone powder was sprinkled on the grass under the trees a few days ago, and no murderous thing has dared to enter our village for decades. ”

Li Qingxuan thought of the white ape, was slightly startled, put the long sword behind his back, and the purple cloth bag behind him, and hurriedly went out. As soon as he came out of the door, he saw Xu Tao coming back from outside the village, he shook his head and said to everyone: "That white ape is running fast, and he has reached Yunwu Mountain, and when I rushed there, he had already gone up the mountain." When they heard this, they were astonished.
