Chapter 20: The Seven Factions Gather in One
I sat on the railing on the top of the attic, looking at the Kunlun sect disciples who were dancing swords on the martial arts training ground in the distance. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the Kunlun faction, it is inconvenient for us to move around, and more often these days, I sit on the roof of the attic to pass the time, thinking only about what Jiang Shun said to me.
Several small peaks in the distance are close together, and without exception, they are all connected by rope bridges. The Kunlun Paili is divided into four stations, and the four are located on the four small peaks around the main peak of Kunlun Mountain, and the four peaks are also named after them. The mountain peak to the north where Jiang Shun and I went that night was Hedaotai.
Hedaotai is the alchemy place of the Kunlun faction, and among the four platforms, the Kunlun sect disciples of the Hedaotai are the most peaks, and the female disciples among them are also the most among the four. Dan Yidao is highly valued in the Kunlun faction, and has existed since the beginning of the Kunlun faction, and it has a long history, longer than the pills of the Wudang faction. However, although it has been around for a long time, it is not as famous as the Wudang faction's pills in terms of grade, probably there are many powerful people in the Central Plains, and there are a lot of strange alchemy methods, so it will suppress the Kunlun faction.
Jiang Shun rarely laughs with us these days, and since that night, he has become a man of few words, and he is rarely seen. And in my heart, I can't help but be a little worried.
Although Cheng Fuhai and the Central Plains had said in advance, once the antidote to the poison was successfully refined, it would immediately announce that the rivers and lakes would come forward from the Xuantie Gate to provide the antidote to the poison to the people of the two realms. After retiring from the rivers and lakes for decades, Xuantiemen has long been free of affairs, and this time he and Cheng Fuhai are refining the poison antidote together because of the poison on Ma Qianli's body, and it will naturally be much safer for him to come forward, and Cheng Fuhai and I will avoid a lot of trouble.
However, if it is really as Jiang Shun said, the antidote cannot be refined, then I am afraid that I will never think of a peaceful day again. I have thought about such thoughts before, but when these words came out of Jiang Shun's mouth, I always couldn't help but think about it, and even this possibility continued to expand in my heart, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt that the antidote could not be refined.
It was getting late, and the sunset was in the mountains, and Kunlun Mountain was once again red. The new disciples on the martial arts training ground all dispersed, and in this cold place, they still practiced a whole body of sweat, but everyone had a smile on their faces, and they couldn't stop wiping the long sword in their hands while talking and laughing. Ten years of sharpening a sword, probably in their hearts, they are also thinking about one day becoming famous in the rivers and lakes. I thought about it before, and I still think about it, and I do have a little bit of fame, albeit in a very different way.
It's just that I'm scared of this kind of fame that I've earned in an alternative way.
......
Every day, when the Kunlun sect disciples in the martial arts training venue dispersed, Han Xiao and the others would always go to the venue to play a few sets of sword techniques. The sword technique they practiced is called the Lost Step Shadow Slash, and the sword technique is not based on Gang Lie, but focuses on the body method, and eighteen people form a shadow slash formation, and the power of the knife formation will be greater. This kind of knife technique is not easy to learn, pay attention to the cooperation between each other, the knife is the courage of a hundred soldiers, the move does not change much, compared with the sword is also a big open and close, but the power is not reduced at all, once the formation is formed, the power is more significant.
On this day, when the Kunlun Sect disciples in the martial arts training ground all dispersed, I also walked down from the attic. Back in the attic hall, Su Qingyao was throwing some colorful little insects into his bamboo cage.
Raising ghost babies is as troublesome as Su Qingyao said, the blue water cold toad does not eat ordinary small insects, but eats poisonous insects such as poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes and other poisonous insects, the stronger the toxicity of the poisonous insects, the more conducive to the growth of the blue water cold toad.
On the way here, I rarely saw Su Qingyao catching poisonous insects to feed the blue water cold toad, but after coming to Kunlun Mountain, he went out every day to catch some poisonous insects and came back, I really don't know where he caught this cold place.
I stepped forward and greeted him: "Senior Su, are you feeding your ghost boy again?"
Su Qingyao used two pieces of bamboo to take out a colorful centipede from a porcelain jar next to him, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, come and take a look, this little guy has been very happy these days, and he has eaten very deliciously." ”
I looked into the bamboo cage, and saw that the two paws of the blue water cold toad in his bamboo cage were holding a colorful centipede, which had been half eaten by it, but it was still writhing. I pursed my lips, looked at the porcelain jar beside him, and said, "Where did you get all these centipedes?"
Su Qingyao showed a smug look on his face and said, "I didn't catch these, I asked for them from the Weideng Dao people." ”
"Weideng Daoist, he also raises ghost boys?"
Su Qingyao said: "Where would he raise such a small trick as a ghost boy? What he raises in his garden are all high-quality medicinal materials for alchemy, and the rhinoceros horn of the unicorn monster is a medicinal material, and this centipede is a thing in their garden, and it is also a medicinal material." ”
The Weideng Daoist is the first of the Fengyue Platform, and the Hedao Platform is the alchemy place of the Kunlun Sect, and the Fengyue Platform is the place where the Kunlun Sect is made of materials. Fengyuetai is divided into two lines, one is to raise birds and animals, which is called the animal garden, and the other is to plant herbs, called the medicine garden. The unicorn monster we encountered in the mountains was raised in the beast park in Fengyue Tai, I only knew that there were unicorn monsters in the beast park, and I didn't know what other beasts were raised, and I rarely walked around in the Kunlun faction, and the place I went to was only Hedaotai. However, I know that unlike those tribes in the Western Regions who exchange the beasts in the mountains for ghosts, the Kunlun faction believes that all beasts in the world have spirits, and raising beasts is not only for alchemy, but also to treat them as partners. That's why when we killed that unicorn in the first place, Changfeng and the others were so angry.
I have long longed for Fengyuetai in my heart, and I have always wanted to take a look, to be able to raise strange beasts like unicorns, and I think that there are more strange beasts in Fengyuetai. However, the land of Sitai is the important place of the Kunlun faction, how can it be casually let people go to watch? Even if the five saints nod and agree, the fact that we killed the unicorn monster has already provoked Changfeng and they don't like it, how dare they make an exception to go to the zoo to take a walk?
I said, "How can the people of Weideng Dao be willing to give you so many bugs?"
Su Qingyao said: "There are so many of these small poisonous insects in their animal garden, what's the big deal if you give me some? besides, they are poisonous things, which are rarely used by them as alchemy, and they are far less precious than the rhino horns of the unicorn monster." ”
I quipped, "Your blue water cold toad is also a rarity, although there is no rhino horn on the top of the head, there is an extra eye." ”
Su Qingyao came to his senses, and said with a light in his eyes: "That's it." The magic of witchcraft is extraordinary, and the mystery is endless, and I have studied this way exhaustively, maybe in the future, this blue water cold toad will grow bigger than the unicorn monster. ”
He said it like that, but I couldn't help laughing, but I felt that I had lost my manners, so I took the opportunity to say: "By the way, Senior Su, that day you told Senior Cheng that the unicorn looked a little strange, what happened?"
Su Qingyao didn't care about my faux pas, and said: "I'm also strange about this, the rhino horn of the unicorn monster is a rare medicinal material, which can be up to three inches long, but the rhino horn of the unicorn monster we saw that day is one foot long, and it is the most strange thing to say that it is strange." ”
I said, "Does the person of the Micro Light Dao know about this?"
Su Qingyao said: "I asked the Weideng Daoist, and he told me that there was only one in his animal park that looked strange, and when this unicorn monster was caught, the rhino horn on its head was already five inches long, and it took seven years to grow to the length of one foot now. ”
"Where did you get it?"
Su Qingyao said: "There is a black forest near the death swamp, and the unicorn was caught from there, but now the unicorn is difficult to trace, the black forest is occupied by the tribesmen, so many years have passed, and I don't know if there is still a unicorn monster, I am afraid that I am afraid that I will be caught and become a ghost boy, and only those in the Kunlun faction are still built." ”
The Black Forest he spoke of was familiar to me, as if I had heard of such a place before, but I could not remember where I had heard it at once.
I said, "I think the reason why the people of Weideng Dao raise unicorns is because they are afraid that they will become extinct, right?"
Su Qingyao said: "The Kunlun faction advocates the way of heaven, Gu Xiaoyou is right, the people of Weideng Dao do have this idea, throughout the ages, I don't know how many rare and exotic beasts have disappeared, and the Western Regions is a chaotic place, there are often wars between tribes, and I don't know how many strange beasts have been captured to raise ghosts." If this continues, in a few decades, I am afraid that even the mountain tiger will not be visible, alas. As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, covered the bamboo cage with the bamboo lid and said: "This blue water cold toad is also a rare thing, and I couldn't bear to see this strange animal being thrown into the tribal dispute, so I spent a lot of money to get it from the Wushan Department." ”
I was a little silent, and I couldn't help but think of the unicorn we killed, and I always felt guilty in my heart.
Su Qingyao put the bamboo cage into the cloth bag on his waist, and was about to say something, when suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance outside the attic. When he walked to the door, he saw that on the martial arts training ground in the distance, Han Xiao and the others were shouting something with a group of Kunlun sect disciples.
We were taken aback, and hurriedly ran towards the venue, but before we could get closer, we heard a woman's angry voice in our ears: "If you go, you will go, and you dare not admit it, is this what you Youyun Villa is doing?"
It was the woman I had seen at the Junction Terrace, Mingyue, who spoke. When I saw her, she also saw me, and before we could get closer, she suddenly pointed at me and shouted to a person beside her, "Senior Brother Zihan, it's him, it was he who broke into the alchemy room that night, which made Master displease."
