Chapter 31: Meeting on a Narrow Road (1)

Wang Qinian's grilled snake meat is exquisite and skillful, and if he is in Guangling City, he will definitely be able to open a good barbecue restaurant.

During the meal, I originally wanted to talk nonsense with him, but Wang Qinian warned me not to speak without education during the meal, and there is a teaching in the Confucian classics of "food is silent".

I think of this quote from the sages of the early era of Confucianism, in the troubled times, the Central Plains people joined Confucianism in order to learn the practical knowledge of Confucianism in governing the country and training troops and breeding, and they had already abandoned this set of pedantic dogmas. On the contrary, the people of Shunshui Town, like Wang Qinian, observed, the etiquette of the original Confucianism in Baiyun Township.

"Uncle, did your snake come up from the foot of the mountain?" I asked after the meal.

"No, I organized a patrol team to dig in the snow on the mountainside. Although the five-step killer snake generally enters a dormant state naturally on the mountainside, individual snakes will still wake up suddenly, ambush under the snow and bite people, and the root cure is to completely remove the snake under the snow. I took these snakes to a secret supply point on the top of the mountain to serve as a reserve of food—these snakes are very nourishing. My consumption is so large that I can't be full just by eating cured meat. ”

-- Indeed, if the martial arts have not been cultivated to a considerable extent, eating these dry snakes will definitely cause nosebleeds, and the body will not be able to make up for it. The truth is the same as what realm to take and what pill to take. Wang Qinian is a Jindan martial artist, and if he doesn't have Zhuji Dan and Huang Ya Dan to eat, he needs to consume a lot of high-vitality food.

I suddenly thought of one thing,

"Is the soil in the South Island not suitable for growing medicinal fields?"

Even if it is not made into an elixir (the method of furnace ding alchemy is in the hands of the Xiuzhen sect), the spirit grass in the medicine field can be taken directly, although the effect is a grade worse than the pill (equal to the vitality of these five-step killer snakes), it is better than consuming a large amount of meat - meat is very toxic and requires a lot of time to wash away the poison, while the spirit grass has almost no poison. Judging from the fact that he eats a five-step killer snake, Wang Qinian must have spent a lot of time in the valley.

"The aura of the whole island is gathered here. If we don't take the whole mountain and kill the monsters, we won't be able to grow the medicine fields. Wang Qinian pointed to the ground

- Only the interior of Falling Star Mountain has aura.

"Then why don't the natives plant medicine fields on their sacred mountain?"

As soon as I spoke, I felt like my brain was caught in the door

-- Xiuzhen's Danxue did not reach the natives at all. How could they know how to plant medicinal fields, and how did they know what the spiritual grass to cultivate was?

"But why do natives have Jindan warriors?!"

A thought popped into my mouth -- this was a question that had been bothering me since I had been talking about it superficially, and it had resurfaced in my chat with Wang Qinian.

"This is also a question that I have been trying to figure out, and I judge that the answer has something to do with this Falling Star Mountain. If we kill that monster and enter the valley on the top of the mountain, we may be able to discover the truth and even have a big unexpected harvest. ”

Wang Qinian pondered and said,

"My brother and I have been studying monsters and this mountain for twenty years, and I have been constantly diving into this no-man's land to explore, and then bringing back information and analysis for reference. He has the ability to be well-informed and ambitious, and we have been working out a general idea for many years, and we only need one last step. ”

Wang Qinian looked at me,

"I lack an assistant, I just need to build the foundation realm. But be flexible, bold enough, and know how to spell. ”

"You want me to build a foundation in a few months, and then go with you to kill monsters?"

- I imagined the myriad evil eyes in the demonic wind, and the goosebumps on the skin under the clothes. I'm only bold about things that can be understood, but not much about the unknown.

"You'd better let me assassinate Aung San Po Flame......"

"Ha, after another ten years of training, maybe you can get started with Aung San Baoyan, or consider the task of killing monsters. The strength of that monster is not terrifying, but it looks scary. I have detailed information and a well-planned plan. After the blood sacrifice of the natives on October 15, kill this monster with me, and you will be able to show your face in Shunshui Town, and I will ask my brother to give you an official residence guide. ”

I bowed my head and said nothing.

Wang Qinian's training for me was indeed in exchange.

But it reassures me that there's no such thing as pie in the world.

I hesitate to tell Murong Zhi's situation as well, she can use Xiao Wuxiang Gong to simulate my spells. If she and I use the Thunder Spell together, the chances of killing the monster will be even greater.

"Uncle, let's talk about the situation of the monsters in the Falling Star Mountain first. ”

Wang Qinian thought about it for a while, and drew a worm as big as a tiger and wolf on the ground, it only had a combined head and abdomen, its mouthparts were as sharp as spears, its jaws were as powerful as steel tongs, it had no wings, no eyes, no limbs, and the scales covered the whole without the slightest softness.

No wonder Wang Qinian was bitten off by a monster back then, and the flesh of his shoulder was definitely a middle-grade divine soldier-like body-maybe even a high-grade divine soldier.

I took a deep breath and imagined how I would react if such a monster appeared in front of me in the dark.

A burst of claustrophobic despair in the depths of the sea.

After a long time, I said:

"Okay, get used to it. I don't think I'll be so scared, like I'm getting used to the darkness of a small dark room. ”

"This monster is called a dust-eating insect, and its first form is eyeless. In this state, it floats in the air with the demon wind and feels the opponent's qi to attack. The strength of the mouthparts and palate is comparable to that of my Iron Spine Spear, and the dark scales that wrap around my whole body are like high-grade armor, and my medium-grade spear cannot pierce them. ”

"That is to say, if we keep the qi in the state of the living dead, it will not be able to attack us. ”

"That's right. However, my abilities can't kill a monster in this state, and I don't expect your Thunder Spell to penetrate its dark scales. ”

- Indeed, even if my vitality reaches the level of building a foundation, the power of the thunder spell is only comparable to that of a fire gun, and it cannot penetrate the shell of a monster that is quite high-grade.

"What about the second form of the monster?"

Wang Qinian added another eyeball to the abdomen of the dust-eating insect in the painting,

"Every thirty breaths, the shadow scale armor on the Dust Eater's belly opens five breaths, revealing the eyeballs inside, so that even in the state of the living dead, we will be seen by it—its eye color will change, its red eyes can make people mad, its blue eyes can make it weak, and its yellow eyes will make it paralyzed—the first time I fought it, I lost my mind to the sudden opening of the monster's eyeballs. ”

"I think that when I open my eyeballs, it is also the time when the dust eater is weakest, and at this time, I will hit its eyeballs with a thunder spell, and I will be able to produce monsters. ”

"Well, I've killed it nearly a hundred times, all of which are when it opens its eyes with a spear and a spear, and that's its lifeline. The next time we actually fight the monster, I'll protect you, and you can use the thunder spell to attack its eyeballs. ”

"No, can this monster keep coming back to life? Uncle, haven't you killed the dust eater nearly a hundred times!"

Wang Qinian pointed to the insects on the ground,

"Ha, I forgot to tell you that I just drew a section of the Dust Eater. A complete dust-eating insect is composed of one hundred and eight of these insects that are concentric and can continue to attack each other. The countless eyes that appeared in the demon wind were the eyes opened by the dust eaters. If you can't kill all 100 or 8 insects at a time, they can be resurrected in 10 days! This is the experience that dozens of good men of our mountain patrol team have exchanged their lives for. ”

My heart sank

- Why didn't you sue me earlier! Lao Tzu is going to pick one hundred and eight of these monsters in five months!

"After the meal, the chat is over, aren't you going to stab me with a sword, continue. If you can stab me before dawn, I will teach you another set of the essence of Yi Dao martial arts. ”

Wang Qinian smiled,

"How about using the dragon descending palm method to make a color head?"
