Chapter 21: The Golden Spotted Bee
Niu Dingtian felt that the little black dog had almost remembered it, so he didn't waste time anymore, after all, picking honey to save Niu Jiaojiao was the most important thing.
The reason why the candied cliff is called candied fruit cliff is entirely because of the honey bee hives on the top of this cliff, which are the fruits of the labor of the golden spotted bee. The nectar of hundreds of miles in this area has basically been collected by them, including the nectar of ginseng and forsythia, so honey has strong medicinal properties.
I can't really see the cow in the sky at night, but I can always hear the "buzzing" beep in my ears, and I can smell a sweet smell in the wind. Obviously, the hive is not far from the bottom of the cliff, but with his cultivation in the Dan realm, he can't fly in the air, and he can't use the spell of flying clouds and fog, so it's not easy to get close to the hive.
Even if you can get close to the hive, you have to find a way to disperse the golden spotted bee, otherwise Niu Dingtian can only look at it with a blank eye.
Niu Dingtian suddenly remembered the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", if nothing else, the golden spotted bee here should also be in its records, maybe there will be some ways to restrain bees.
When Niu Dingtian took out the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" from his arms to check it, he was shocked instantly, because there were many new contents in the book, and it was centered on the candied fruit cliff, covering a radius of three hundred miles.
This also means that the things recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are not fixed, but will change with the change of location, although the coverage of three hundred miles is a little small, but it can read geopolitical information in real time, which is still extremely powerful.
Niu Dingtian was surprised and sighed, and then calmed down and began to investigate the information related to the candied fruit cliff and the golden spotted bee.
"Quyin Mountain, there are beasts, its shape is like a sage and white head, the name is hyena. It is fierce and likes to hunt. There is a cliff in the north forty miles, two hundred zhang high, and the name is candied precipice. There are insects, and its shape is like a bird with golden spots, and the name is called the golden spotted bee. The tail needle is poisonous, its honey is sweet and greasy, it can detoxify, and it is not Gu to eat. ”
Niu Dingtian also determined the efficacy of honey after reading it, but he did not record the method of restraining the golden spotted bee as he imagined. It seems that if you want to get rid of the bees, you have to try it yourself.
Niu Dingtian knows that ordinary bees can be soothed by smoke and can steal honey while they calm down, but the golden spotted bee is no ordinary insect. Maybe this method will work, but ordinary smoke will definitely not do the corresponding thing.
So he decided to look for something, and that was silver pill grass. He had tried it before, and if he found it and used it to smoke the smoke, he would have been able to appease the ferocious bees.
Niu Dingtian didn't dare to guarantee that he would succeed, but he couldn't give up this opportunity, so he asked the little black dog who was familiar with the terrain: "Roaring Tian, do you know where there is silver pill grass?"
Because Yindan grass is not a very important herb, it cannot be recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" at all, and you can only rely on your usual experience to record the location.
But the little black dog is still young, and he is usually bullied by the clansmen, so he basically doesn't dare to go out, so he doesn't know what Yindancao is, let alone the location of Yindancao.
Niu Dingtian had no choice but to take him to the forest to look for it, he remembered that Yindancao likes yin and moisture, and it should mostly grow near the river spring.
Because he could see the reflection of the water flow from the candied fruit cliff, he quickly determined a direction and quickly ran down the candied fruit cliff along the way he came.
At this time, the moon has a tendency to fall westward, and it is obviously not far from dawn, so Niu Dingtian is very anxious. The sunlight will make the golden bee more active, and it will be more difficult to pick honey at that time.
The silver moon shines on the earth, and the mountains and forests are cold and secluded, and the blood is full of blood.
"Woo -----" spread all over the four fields, all of them were the long howls of wild beasts, and the cold breath was pervasive, making people's hairs stand on end, and it felt like there were ghosts and evil ghosts crying, which made people mad.
Niu Dingtian carefully avoided the poisonous insects and beasts, and finally the effort paid off, and he successfully found the silver pill grass next to the stream, and cut a long vine on the way back for climbing the cliff.
In order to save time, Niu Dingtian walked all the way through the jungle in a straight line, and soon came to the foot of the candied fruit cliff.
"Uncle, it seems that something is following us!" said Roaring Tian nervously, his black hair stood on end, it was the first time he had come to this barren mountain and wilderness. Especially at night, I was really scared.
Niu Dingtian stopped when he heard this, and the beast still roared and the insects chirped, but he did not hear the sound of a wild beast approaching. didn't take it to heart, and comforted while hurrying: "Maybe you heard it wrong, it's normal to have poisonous snakes and poisonous insects hidden under the leaves, let's go up to the candied fruit cliff first." ”
He wasn't sure if he had heard it wrong, he just heard a "rustle" sound behind him, which rang from time to time, as if it had been not far from him.
Just after following Niu Dingtian for a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of "rustling~" in the forest. The sound is light, like the sound of a small beast stepping on a dead leaf, and the rhythm is clear.
He wanted to say more, but when he saw that Niu Dingtian was anxious to go up to the candied cliff, he didn't dare to say more, but had the courage to secretly pay attention to the uninvited guests behind him.
Niu Dingtian didn't notice the change in Ngtian's mind, and still walked quickly to the top of the cliff, and then tied the vines to the trunk of the cliff and hung down the cliff. Then he tied up a large handful of silver dancao with vines, and spewed the danhuo out of his mouth, and because the temperature of the danhuo was extremely high, the moist silver dancao was ignited at once.
Niu Dingtian extinguished the open flame again, and in this way, the billowing smoke floated out of the silver pill grass.
Ready for everything, Niu Dingtian slid down the cliff along the vines, but at a distance of fifty or sixty zhang, he saw a large beehive built on top of each other. Layer by layer, like the tiles on the roof, the whole body is golden and transparent, and it is covered with hexagonal holes.
The closer he got closer, the more intense the floral fragrance and sweet smell became, so that Niu Dingtian couldn't help but drool. However, the many bees patrolling around the hive made his scalp tingle, each one about the size of a sparrow, and its rapidly vibrating wings hummed like an engine.
Niu Dingtian was still three or four feet away from the beehive, and it was clear that the honey was in front of him, but he didn't dare to approach a single step. Because the bees that were patrolling the guards had noticed his presence, and even flew over and were hovering above his head. As long as he finds any danger, he will definitely not hesitate to pierce the tail needle into his body.
Niu Dingtian held his breath and condensed, pretending to be a dead wood, showing no vitality. Then try to let the smoke from the silver pill grass in his hand drift towards them, and after a few golden spotted bees flew in the smoke for a while, they really fanned their wings much slower.
After a while, they seemed a little sleepy, so they simply left the cow and continued to patrol the hive.
Niu Dingtian was secretly anxious, and it was not a way to continue like this, and he had to deal with these guards. So he began to cautiously grope towards the hive again, sliding inch by inch, and in this way quickly shortened the distance by another kilometer.
After reaching this position, Niu Dingtian began to blow the smoke of the silver pill grass vigorously, letting the smoke drift to the side of the hive as much as possible. It's just that the wind on the candied fruit cliff is too strong, and it is also a headwind, and Niu Dingtian has little effect.
Just as he decided whether to give up outwitting and simply rob it, a miracle happened. The dozen or so golden-spotted bees finally couldn't hold it anymore, and they all burrowed into the hive to prepare for rest.
Niu Dingtian saw that the opportunity was rare, and suddenly slipped three feet down, and quickly slipped to the side of the beehive. The smoke of the silver pill grass was poured into the beehive one by one, and when the silver pill grass in his hand was burned out, Niu Dingtian also felt that it was time to pick honey.
In order not to disturb the bees, Niu Dingtian broke the hive from the edge, but the honey of the golden spotted bee was as strong as glue. The whole beehive was also amazingly stable, and Niu Dingtian broke it twice with his bare hands, but he didn't move at all. Although it is only the strength of one hand, at least it is not a problem to lift a grinding disc, which shows how strong this hive is.
Fortunately, there is also a kunwu knife that sharpens iron like clay, Niu Dingtian grasps the vine tightly with his left hand, holds the knife in his right hand, and gently cuts the beehive along the cliff.
Everything went very smoothly, and under the sharp Kungo knife, the hive could only be easily cut.
Suddenly, there was a "buzz", and a golden spotted bee came out of the hive, and Niu Dingtian almost threw away the Kunwu knife in fright. If his whereabouts are revealed at this time, not only will all his preparations be in vain, but I am afraid that the angry bees will also kill him.
Who knew that the bees "swished" out of the hive, and then fell quickly to the cliff, without posing a threat to Niu Dingtian, and did not have time to call friends.
It turned out that Niu Dingtian accidentally cut it when cutting the hive, which woke it up, but the sharp Kunwu knife actually cut off one of its wings. Although it scurried out, one wing was not enough to support its flight, and it had to fall to its death under the candied precipice.
Niu Ding Tianjing was so frightened, he was more careful, although there were many beehives, but he didn't dare to be greedy. After cutting a three-foot square piece, he hurriedly fled from the place of right and wrong.
Carry the hive on your back, hand and foot and climb to the top of the cliff with a frantic ride. However, Niu Dingtian didn't dare to make too many movements, because he didn't know how many golden spotted bees there were in the hive behind him, and if he woke them up, he was afraid that his back would be stung into a sieve.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Niu Dingtian didn't make a sound, and there was a piercing pain in his back, and the fire was burning, as if someone had pierced him with a red-hot awl.
But the golden spotted bee is the same as ordinary bees, although the power of this needle is huge, it will also kill them, and this attack at the cost of life is certainly not to be underestimated.
Niu Dingtian snorted, ignored the dying golden spotted bee, and continued to climb towards the top of the cliff. There were two more injections in a row, and even Niu Dingtian couldn't stand it anymore, and the violent toxins spread all over his body along the bloodstream, which made his already unhealed body even worse.
The mountain wind whistled, and Niu Dingtian's body was shaking, but he didn't give up.
Niu Dingtian gritted his teeth, simply gave up the vine, and reached out to clasp it tightly on the cliff wall. Although the cliff is close to straight, there is still a place to grasp it, with both hands and feet. He can't grind, he needs to rush through the last ten zhang in one go.
