Chapter 36: There Are Snakes
The shadow was hit by Jiang Jiutian's qi needle, and it fell on the water, splashing and making a sound. Li Yidong was taken aback by this change, and the light body technique was interrupted and failed, and he almost didn't fall into the water. The others were also very nervous, ignoring the splash, and stepped directly on the water.
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be a snake that was hit by Jiang Jiutian and fell into the water. The snake is not large, about half an arm's length to the touch, the thickness of one finger, pale white, and without patterns. At this time, the snake's head was erected, staring at everyone, and a fierce light flashed in its light green eyes, as if it was trying to jump out of the water, but failed. Somehow, no one took a sword to cut or stab the snake.
Jiang Jiutian frowned, picked up the snake with the spine of the sword, quickly threw it to a bare platform next to it, and then jumped onto the platform, and slapped the snake with the spine of the sword. The snake twisted a few times, then stopped. Everyone else came to the platform and asked, "Shoot dead?"
Jiang Jiutian said: "Not dead." I guess I was stunned. It's a snake, isn't it?"
Everyone thought that this could only be a snake, but they didn't know what kind of snake it was, and even Jiang Dazhuang, who was an old hunter, shook his head again and again and said that he had never seen such a snake. It's a bit bizarre, this snake has a long leg, but only one, and the claw is so small that if it weren't for the snake turning its belly upwards at this moment, it wouldn't have noticed the little claw.
However, what surprised them more than the snake's small claws was that the snake was hit by Jiang Jiutian with a gas needle in several places, and there were traces of being burned fiercely, and the skin and flesh were slightly rolled, and they could faintly smell the smell of cooked meat, which looked very miserable. It's no wonder that the snake just now had a fierce look in its eyes, but it couldn't even jump out of the water. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Li Yidong didn't know what he thought, and suddenly said, "I won't pick the rest of the herbs, let's go directly." There are a lot of herbs in this bush, and it is more than enough for me to pick half of them, and any more is a waste. ”
Jiang Jiutian thought for a moment and asked Li Yidong: "Senior Brother Yidong, can you give me one herb you picked?"
Li Yidong didn't ask Jiang Jiutian what he wanted to do with the herbs, and directly took out a jade box and handed it to Jiang Jiutian. Jiang Jiutian took the jade box, squatted down, took out the herbs from the jade box, grasped them in the palm of his hand, and with a slight luck, the herbs were all broken and turned into herbal juice and flowed down from the palm of his hand. Jiang Jiutian shook his arm, causing all the herbal juice to drip on the snake's body.
After the herbal juice was dripping, Jiang Jiutian straightened up, returned the jade box to Li Yidong, and said, "Okay." Let's go!"
Everyone no longer went down to the valley, and flew directly up from the mountain platform in a paper crane. When they flew to the heights, they looked down, and everywhere was so green that they couldn't tell where the crack in the valley they had been to before.
Jiang Dazhuang couldn't help but ask Jiang Jiutian: "Jiu'er, what are you doing with that snake dripping herbal juice?"
Jiang Jiutian replied, "I don't know." ”
Jiang Dazhuang asked again: "I don't know if you still get it?" Isn't it precious? ”
Jiang Jiutian replied: "Look at it so protective, and estimate that the herb is useful to it." ”
Jiang Dazhuang continued to ask: "Then do you want to save it? It almost bit it, what can you do to save it?" ”
Jiang Jiutian said: "It's not a rescue, just do it if you want to." It's left to fate. Oh, Dad, you asked. ”
Jiang Dazhuang muttered: "If you don't ask, don't ask." ”
In any case, the herbs that Li Yidong wanted to pick were picked, and the purpose of this trip was successfully achieved, and everyone was very happy.
came out on this trip, Jiang Jiutian's family of three and Li Feng all gained some knowledge, and they ended up with swords, talismans, and storage bags, and Li Yidong said that it was part of the thanks. Originally, Jiang Jiutian's family and Li Feng both felt that Li Yidong had helped everyone a lot, so they would help with this matter, and they didn't need any thanks. However, Li Yidong was very persistent, saying that one yard is one yard, and things can't be counted like that.
Li Yidong said that after staying in the cultivation realm for a long time, he will know that things like picking herbs and treasure hunting are very risky, not to mention that the herbs to be picked are so important to him, and the thank you gifts given are not for the specific things that he will actually help do in the future trip, but for the possible risks themselves and the importance to him themselves. Li Yidong also said that this is a common practice in the cultivation realm, if this is not the case, he will not be able to speak next time he needs help. Speaking of which, what else can Jiang Jiutian say?
Jiang Jiutian and the four of them are still newcomers in the cultivation world, and they are still ignorant of all kinds of things, and they are still slowly observing, experiencing, exploring, and learning. This is not a particularly big deal after all, if it is determined that this is indeed the case in the cultivation realm in the future, then accepting the thank you gift now is also an ordinary practice to follow, if it is found that Li Yidong is too polite to give so much, it will be rewarded elsewhere. Anyway, there's still a long way to go, aren't they?
After returning to Tianyi Peak, Li Yidong left in a hurry, saying that he would go to the alchemist immediately and refine the Zhuji Dan he wanted as soon as possible. Jiang Jiutian, Jiang Dazhuang, Geng Feihua, Li Feng, the four of them chatted for a while, talked about what they had seen and heard this time, exchanged their experiences or something, and then dispersed to cultivate.
Jiang Jiutian returned to his room, uncharacteristically not immediately indulging in cultivation, but thinking of the snake in the valley crack again. Speaking of which, the white snake doesn't seem to be so annoying, and the light green eyes are a little beautiful even if they shine with a fierce light. Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Jiutian simply didn't cultivate, and rarely lay on the bed to sleep.
Jiang Jiutian dreamed again, this time there was a snake in the dream. It was a silver, knot-by-section snake, not a living creature, but crawling freely. A slender pale hand picked up the silver snake, and the snake automatically circled its wrist a few times, and the snake's head bit the snake's tail, and there seemed to be a soft click, and the silver snake turned into a beautiful bracelet. The lines of the bracelet are hard and smooth, delicate and elegant, full of strength.
Jiang Jiutian heard a soft laugh, the laughter seemed to be his own, but it was clearly very different from his current voice. At least, it wasn't a juvenile voice like it is now, but a mellow, slightly muffled one, an adult voice.
Inexplicably, Jiang Jiutian knew that it was himself, that hand was his own hand, that laughter was his own laughter, and that silver snake that could turn into a bracelet was made by himself. Its material - now Jiang Jiutian doesn't call it gold-like anything, its material is a metal, but not any of gold, silver, copper, iron, etc., but a special alloy that he created.
