Chapter 18: Ah Jiu (1)
Jian Yi casually put the sword back into its sheath, as if he was doing something very ordinary. Compared to the giant toad that everyone in the Ethereal Pavilion besieged and killed, he brought a greater shock to everyone.
Yan Chaoge's face was ugly, as if he had been deflated, and his eyes, which were not big, made him almost squint into a slit because of jealousy.
The air was cold and thin, and the coldness of the moon was reflected in the snow, like the sky in the evening, neither dark nor dark, and the crowd gradually dispersed, groping around along the top of the mountain for clues left by the jade toad plant.
After searching for a long time, there was no gain, so I had to expand the search area.
Legend has it that the jade toad was born on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and the fierce beast it guarded has died.
Li Wangchen's eyes flashed with scorching brilliance, and he approached Jian Yi, unexpectedly, put his hand on Jian Yi's shoulder, with a hint of a ruffian smile in his mouth, and said meaningfully: "Brother Tai, your swordsmanship is really superb, it is indeed much more powerful than my Sword Spirit Sect's "Seven Techniques of Sword Style", admire and admire." ”
As soon as Jian saw Li Wangchen's rogue action, he put the sword against Li Wangchen's neck and said coldly: "Let go of your hand!"
The corners of Li Wangchen's mouth hooked, he withdrew his hand, and his salutation suddenly became a little kinder, his smile remained unchanged, and he said softly: "Why did Brother Jian refuse me thousands of miles away, the two of us should be honest with each other at first sight." Brother Jian, why don't you take off your hat, let's salute and make friends here, how about it?"
Jian Yi turned her head slightly, because of the veil, she couldn't see the face of the young man in front of her very well, but she caught the deep smile on Li Wangchen's face.
Jian Yi muttered in his heart, and always felt that this guy's smile was a little uneasy and kind, so he turned his back and stood with his hands in his hands, and said lightly: "I don't want to make friends with you!"
When Li Wangchen heard this, the smile on his face became more and more vigorous, and he sighed: "It's a pity, Brother Jian is righteous and upright, and he can't make friends with you, it's really a big regret in Li's life." In that case, let's say goodbye, and hope that the next time we see you, you can dress up better!"
The sword body trembled slightly, and the hand holding the sword tightened a little slightly when others were not easy to notice.
What did he mean by that?
What do you mean?
Li Wangchen shook his head and sighed, turned around and sat down, and untied the water bladder. opened his mouth to drink, but in a few breaths, there was no wine left in the water bladder, and he drank a fine light, and after a while, but seeing that his face was slightly red, he was already a little drunk.
As soon as Jian saw that everyone was looking for the jade toad plant, only this Li Wuchen was not worried about the jade toad plant being taken away at all, so he paced closer and said puzzledly: "You are not here for the jade toad plant?"
With a faint smile on his face, Li Wuchen asked rhetorically: "You and I have nothing to do with each other, why should I tell you?"
"You!"
Jian Yi was stunned, he really didn't expect this young man to dare to talk to him like this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to snort and turn his head away.
Li Wangchen shook his head slightly, threw the water bladder on the ground, cushioned his head with his right hand, closed his eyes, and fell asleep comfortably on the rock.
Jian Yi's eyes showed a hint of emotion, he glanced at Li Wuchen, who was drunk, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Li Wangchen held the sword in his left hand, without fear, and said slightly: "If you want to kill me, you won't let me follow you just now." It's late at night, and if you don't want to waste your efforts, you might as well stop and rest. ”
Jian Yi turned his head suspiciously, only then did he look at Li Wangchen carefully, he didn't move for a long time, and even Li Wangchen felt furious in his heart, so he had to turn over and carry it, only to feel a lot more steady.
As the minutes and seconds passed, Jian Yi took a few steps, simply turned around, laid his sword across the ground, and sat on it and took a nap.
After the fifth watch, the sky was slightly bright, and the eastern sky was filled with layers of purple gas, reflecting a few light clouds like a glow. Fog gradually rose on the mountainside, and a thin layer gradually rose upward.
The clouds and mist of Yao Pond are generally very high, and the mountains that can be baptized by the sun can be seen. And this majestic Tangyimala Snow Mountain has thrown the clouds and mist halfway up the mountainside, no matter how the clouds and mist rise, it can't cover the peak that goes straight into the sky.
A gust of wind hunted through his eyebrows, lifting a strand of hair in front of his forehead, Li Wangchen suddenly felt that the air was cold, so he opened his eyes and looked at the purple in the east.
At the same time, there was a slight vibration under his feet, Li Wangchen leaned over to listen, found the source of the vibration, and walked south with his sword.
Kenichi opened his eyes in vain, and he also felt the subtle vibration under his feet. Around, there was a group of monks who had not rested all night, going over the mountains and mountains to find the traces of the jade toad plant, after a night of tossing, they were sleeping soundly at the moment.
In the distance, Yan Chaoge flew over, followed by the disciples of the Ethereal Pavilion.
In the east, the purple gas became thicker, and I saw that where the mountains were hidden, a soft sunlight was slightly projected, and it hit the top of the mountain, and a magical scene appeared.
Li Wangchen was still walking, and suddenly felt a huge steam coming from under his feet, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and quickly flew to dodge. Underground, something seemed to be tinkering, and there was a strong tremor that made him almost unsteady on his feet.
Immediately afterwards, the shaking of the ground became more and more violent, and the ground suddenly flew sand and rocks, and cracks opened in it. In the gap, a slight cyan light shot out, fused with the sunlight shining from afar, and a variety of light phantoms were stacked. Gradually, the light became more and more intense, spraying several meters high, and the vibrations of the ground were also frequently strengthened, and the remnants of snow fell down the mountain, shaking the group of sleeping monks one by one.
Everyone got up, only to see the top of the mountain to the south, several cyan rays of light erupted from the cracks, cutting through the rocks and soil on the ground, and constantly widening the cracks. At the feet, the shaking gradually stopped, and a three-petaled leaf that exuded a faint light drilled out of the crack, under the illumination of the sun, kept climbing, and in the blink of an eye, it was dozens of meters high, occupying half of the mountain.
The leaves took on the shape of a weed, splitting into countless cracks, and there was a faint cyan light and shadow flowing on them, as if covered with a layer of cyan mist, hazy, not too real to see.
Immediately afterwards, a turquoise stem was revealed on the ground, more than three times thicker than the average hundred-year-old pine, and the stem was even more daunting than fifty meters. Everyone looked up, only to see the three leaves gently swaying in the sun, and then gradually extended to three sides, in the center, a red flower with buds blooming, the stamen is like a jade plate, lined with several bright red petals blooming instantly.
At that moment, the purple qi came from the east, and this huge green grass shook its branches and leaves slightly, comfortably absorbing the purple qi from the east. At the center of the flower, a pale golden glow gradually rises, and then flows to the three leaves, covering the stem downward. The three leaves are retracted, and the stem gradually turns illusory and becomes unreal.
Above the nine heavens, the morning sun seemed to shine much brighter than usual. Suddenly, the pale golden light on the giant grass seemed to be attracted by something, and it all converged upwards to the center of the flower, forming a blinding white light that made people dizzy.
When everyone got used to the dazzling light and squinted again, the giant grass was undergoing a magical transformation: the green leaves turned into feet, the stamens turned into tongues, the petals were the heads, and the stems were the body...... In an instant, it transformed into a huge spirit beast, with a head like a snake, a body like a turtle, and limbs like elephant legs.
This thing is the transformation of the jade toad plant, which can be like ordinary animal activities!
Li Wuchen saw the appearance of the jade toad plant, and he was not much surprised, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he lowered his head, and muttered thoughtfully: "Jade toad plant, rejuvenation grass, Xiangyangsheng, grandma really said it right! It's just that how could she know this?"
Jian Yi was like a wooden stake, standing motionless in place, watching the jade toad strain turn into a huge Xuanwu, his eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity. The thousand-year-old spirit creature is not easy to deal with, and it is still a thousand-year-old jade toad strain that has transformed into a Xuanwu.
Yan Chaoge's small eyes opened as if they were about to burst out, and his face was full of excitement and joy, of course, this included all the monks present.
This is a jade toad plant, which can solve the world's poison, and is one of the most precious treasures in the world.
In just an instant, everyone had already drawn their weapons, guarding against their comrades who had been in trouble together, and they were also ready to move. Whoever lacks this eye will be the first to die today.
How cruel is the competition in the world, the most terrible thing is the human heart, in the face of absolute interests, what is the relationship between people?
What's it?
Li Wangchen looked at Jian Yi on his side, suddenly thought about it, and said with a smile: "Brother Jian Yi, do you want to cooperate?"
The corner of the sword's mouth twitched, and he naturally knew that this guy was uneasy and kind, but he still nodded and asked, "How to cooperate?"
Li Wuchen had a faint smile on his face, and said sincerely: "The jade toad plant is full of treasures, after the two of us get it, one person and half, can it be considered fair?"
When Jian heard this, he joked: "You can't do it, you still want half of it?"
Li Wangchen shook his head lightly and smiled without saying a word.
As soon as the sword was in his hand, he coldly glanced at Yan Chaoge and the others, and said with some reluctance: "If it weren't for the fact that there are many people in the Ethereal Pavilion, I wouldn't want to cooperate with you!"
Li Wangchen's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Brother Jian is really righteous, such a mountain is not easy to deal with, you and I don't want to make a move first, wait and see what happens!"
The basalt turtle, also known as the mountain, is like a mountain, the shell is like a peak, it walks with the weight of its limbs, the pace is slow and heavy, but the defense is extremely strong, invulnerable, it is really difficult.
At this moment, the jade toad plant has turned into a material, its body has gradually shrunk, turning into an ordinary-sized turtle, a pair of black eyes slowly opened, projecting a cold and piercing cold light, also with a little curiosity, stretched out its forelimbs to the ground and probed into the ground, under the puzzled faces of everyone, it shook its head slightly, drilled its head down, and disappeared in front of everyone.
Yan Chaoge was stunned for a moment, popped out a pillar of light, and hit the ground where the jade toad plant disappeared, and suddenly stirred up a layer of stone and soil, but the jade toad plant was missing, it was very likely that it had already penetrated into the depths of the snowy mountain.
It is rumored that the jade toad plant has turned into a form, and even a rock can break open, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by them today.
It's just that the jade toad plant is gone, isn't this going to make everyone's hard work go to waste?
Yan Chaoge reacted, with an anxious look on his face, he finally saw the jade toad strain, but he couldn't let it slip away.
"How can this be, hurry up, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find it!"
As soon as Yan Chao finished speaking, he saw another head poking out from under the ground, and it turned out that this jade toad plant had actually emerged from the ground again. landed not far from him, staring at him, one person and one thing suddenly froze, Yan Chaoge was shocked and suspicious. The jade toad opened a pair of small black eyes, and Yan Chaoge's short and sturdy figure was reflected in his pupils, and with a touch of excitement and curiosity, he slowly moved towards Yan Chaoge.
After it transformed, it developed a little wisdom, and developed a strong curiosity about all things, not realizing that the current dangerous situation was to throw itself into a net and dig its own grave.
As soon as Li Wuchen thought of this, his heart was not good, the jade toad was not intelligent, if he was arrested by Yan Chaoge, then what else would happen to him.
Jian Yi also realized the seriousness of the problem, and there was a gust of wind under his feet, and he didn't have time to communicate with Li Wangchen, so he grabbed the jade toad plant.
Everyone also moved in an instant, only the palm-sized jade toad plant was still slowly crawling towards Yan Chaoge. Yan Chaoge's face showed a look of surprise and excitement, and he spread his hands and grabbed the ground.
It was too late, and under the clear sky, a white shadow swept by, like a flowing fire on the summer sky, and deftly grabbed the jade toad plant and swallowed it in one gulp.
(I've always wanted to write about a cute little animal, sharing weal and woe with the protagonist, and the hard work is worth it, Ah Jiu has successfully shaped it!, so stay tuned...... )
