Chapter 13: Demon Beasts, Humans, and Mao People
As the day began to slope westward, the crowd came to the entrance of the cave again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the painful comatose horse monkey king is still lying on the ground, and I don't know if it's a real coma or a fake coma.
I saw Wu Mazi slowly walk over, squatted down, raised his left hand, pressed his palm against the red-haired forehead of the Horse Monkey King, and recited a spell in his mouth, the suddenly unconscious Horse Monkey King's eyes opened suddenly, and then his eyes became empty and stared at Wu Mazi, and finally his body twitched, and his big head was biased, and he died in front of Wu Mazi.
"I have searched the soul of this monkey king, and I know from its memory that the direction we came from is the territory of the silver wolf king, the territory of a nest of one-horned rhinoceros on the other side of the river, the territory of horse monkeys within a radius of a hundred miles on this mountain peak, and a group of demon foxes in front of it. Although the number of one-horned rhinoceros is small, the skin is hard and thick, it is not easy to deal with, although there are many demon foxes, there is no defense, why don't we trim for one night and hunt the demon fox tomorrow. Wu Mazi proposed.
"Well, it's a soul search. "Nineteen hearts.
"The soul of a demon is much more powerful than the soul of an ordinary beast, and that's exactly what I need right now. Looking at the performance of more than a dozen people in the Ji family today, hunting demon foxes can just give full play to their strengths. The more you hunt, the better. Wu Mazi pondered.
"Brother, I'll just spend one night in this cave today, and how about hunting the demon fox tomorrow morning?" Ji Laosan looked at the slanting sun heading west and said.
"With this plan in mind, we have already had a supply of spirit stones, so we will first use spirit stones to replenish the mana of the dantian, and then fight again tomorrow. After Wu Mazi finished speaking, he walked towards a fork in the cave. When he arrived at the fork, he added, "You don't need to greet me at night, I bring my own dried meat and water." ”
"Let's go deep into the cave and regain mana. Nineteen proposed.
Everyone agreed, and in a short time they came to the hall where everyone had found the spirit stone slab, which was spacious enough to suit their use.
"Some of them are hungry, so let's eat some food first. Wuyue touched his belly and said.
....
Several women were cleaning and arranging, nineteen hundred bored, observing the erection of the staggered stone slabs that had been knocked down the spirit stone.
"I can't figure it out, how can there be no spirit stone mines? why don't these scattered spirit stones appear in other places, just embedded in these stone slabs... It is better to run the exercises to detect the surrounding aura. "Nineteen pondered and crossed his knees to start the exercises.
Suddenly, Nineteen woke up from his meditation, full of surprise.
"Haha, it's such a good place, the aura here can be absorbed, and it is not invaded by foreign qi. "The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China rejoiced.
"Really?"
"If you don't believe me, you try. ”
....
"Sure enough, it's great. ”
"Not only can you cultivate normally, but the concentration of spiritual energy here is more than twice as strong as that of the underground of the cottage. Wuxi's eyes lit up and said.
After hastily using some dried meat and water, everyone couldn't wait to start meditating and cultivating.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, the twelve people set off in full gear and went directly to the area where the demon fox was located, and neither party mentioned the matter of the aura in the cave, nor did Wu Mazi find out.
Although this demon fox is considered a demon beast, it has only just stepped into cultivation, in addition to being more vigilant and more agile, it is also of some use to the smooth and gorgeous fur of that body. Under the round-up of twelve people, nearly 200 can be harvested in one day.
In the evening, the twelve people carried what they had obtained today back to the cave, and Wu Mazi suggested that the corpse of the demon fox should be piled up in the fork he occupied, saying that the natural temperature in it was low, which was convenient for storage to avoid decay, and then transported back to the cottage collectively after a few days.
Nineteen, when they carried the corpse of the demon fox to this fork in the road, they found that the temperature here was indeed much lower, so they did not suspect anything.
When the eleven members of the Ji family left, Wu Mazi looked at the mountain of demon fox corpses and showed a faint smile.
I saw him untie the quiver on his shoulder, put it in front of him, put the big bow and black arrow on his side, and then sat down cross-legged, chanting words in his mouth, suddenly the quiver on the ground trembled, and from the mouth of the small quiver came out a cloud of black gas like ink, and the black gas became more and more, and when the black gas had a basin, it no longer increased.
"Go" With Wu Mazi drank softly, after the black gas rolled for a while, it went to cover the corpse of the demon fox like a mountain, and when the black gas was all shrouded in the fox corpse, Wu Mazi shouted "up" again.
A drop of bright red blood slowly oozed from the smooth fur of each fox corpse, and the drops of blood floated upward, converging into a blood ball in mid-air, and then the black qi wrapped the blood ball, and the blood ball floated back into the quiver.
I don't know what the structure of this quiver is, it's just that it can hold so much black gas, and the huge blood ball is obviously much larger than the quiver, and it also burrows into the quiver and doesn't know where to go.
"Today's harvest is impatient. Wu Mazi smiled and muttered.
After hunting demon foxes for four or five consecutive days, there were nearly 1,000 fox corpses. Everyone decided to return to the cottage, and when they were dealing with the fox corpse, they found that the fox corpse was obviously shriveled than the fox they had just hunted.
The two parties parted ways at the mountain pass and agreed to meet again a month later. Wu Mazi carried the demon fox fur he had shared alone and marched towards the Wu family's cottage. The eleven members of the Ji family returned to the Ji family village with a lot of fox meat pieces. After cooking the demon fox meat, everyone found that the meat of the demon beast was indeed much more delicious than the meat of ordinary beasts, and they also felt a trace of warmth flowing into the dantian, and everyone knew that it was a little bit of spiritual power contained in the meat of the demon beast.
Except for Ji Laosan, who went out to exchange the demon fox fur for arrows, the rest of the people went underground to cultivate, but everyone may have adapted to the rich aura of the horse monkey cave, and their cultivation was not strong.
As the sun sets and the black moon rises, the evening meeting begins again.
"Third brother, let's move to the Horse Monkey Cave to cultivate. Wuyue hesitated and said.
"No, the strange atmosphere in the mountains and forests is thick, and it is easy to be invaded. ”
"Most of the people who moved to woodlands and mountains in the past did not come out alive, so it's better to be cautious. ”
...
"It used to be true, but the place where they moved was different from the Monkey Cave. We must not stay in the forests and mountains for long, that's for sure. But I think that we should be able to live in the Monkey Cave for a long time, and the cave is not invaded by strange gases. You find that there is no mountain that does not have a single arbor forest in its entirety, which is very different from the other peaks. We can totally try to live there for a while and move back if there is a problem. Nineteen analyzed.
"I'm in favor of relocating, and now our practice progress is slowing down, and it is worth a try to more than double the number of cottages in the Monkey Cave. Wuxi continued.
"In order to practice, you can take a risk. ”
....
"I was thinking about that when I went to change arrows. Ji Laosan said.
"Well, let's bring more arrows tomorrow and some cooking utensils to the Monkey Cave to stay for a while, and make it one of our strongholds for the first time. Ji Laosan thought about it again and again and made up his mind.
The next day, on the third pole of the sun, everyone came to the gate of the wall.
Ji Laosan led the way out of the gate, "Ji Laosan, long time no see." A sudden shout came.
"Hey, why are there so many people outside the walled gate. Isn't that the fat man of Qin Jiazhai? Ji Laosan was stunned.
"Ji Laosan, where are you going?" said a strong man in a tiger skin.
"It turned out to be Qin Ye, and he was far away. Ji Laosan arched his hand, his usual smile appeared.
"Ji Laosan, don't come to this. Let me ask you, have you hunted a lot of demon fox fur?" the man continued to ask coldly.
"Yes, I did catch some the other day. How did Qin Ye know. Ji Laosan replied calmly. At this time, it is no longer the past, and his side has mana, and he is no longer afraid of these people from outside the village.
"Yesterday, you went to the Qi family's blacksmith shop with fur on your back to change so many bows and arrows, who can not know. The man said impatiently.
"I see. Ji Laosan pretended to be enlightened.
"In this case, your uncle, don't hurry up and hand over the remaining demon fox skin and demon fox meat. A short, fat man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes roared threateningly.
"Why should I leave it to you?" Wuyue was not happy, and first expressed his objection.
"Yo, little girl, I've eaten the bear's heart leopard gall. Dare to shout. Another tall, thin man like a bamboo pole shouted, sweeping around Wuyue's body with his triangular eyes as he spoke.
"Ji Laosan, that demon fox skin is beautiful and tight, give me some, and get a fox skin shirt for my mother-in-law. I also want some demon fox meat, it is said that eating it can increase a little strength. The tower man said slowly and condescendingly.
He was sure that Ji Laosan would not resist, it wasn't always like this before, as long as the momentum overwhelmed the old man in front of him. He'll just hand over something.
"Master Qin, I'm sorry, the skin has been changed, and the meat has been eaten. Ji Laosan still replied lightly.
"Fuck you," the chunky man yelled.
"Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink...", the tall and thin man glanced at Wuyue and said.
"Hey, why did this Ji Laosan suddenly change his sex, not as easy to scare as before. The tower man muttered in his heart.
"Oh, all twelve of them have appeared today, aren't they usually in a group of three or four people? Thinking of this, he shouted violently: "Ji Laosan, why don't you go and get what I want obediently, don't think that a few more people will be able to get something cheap from me today." Otherwise... Hey. ”
"If you don't give, you don't give, see what you can do today. Wuyue's eyes widened, and he said firmly, and secretly mobilized his mana.
"There really isn't any. Ji Laosan still calmly replied, and secretly gave everyone in the Ji family a look.
"Yo ho..."
"You have a good temper. Big brother, beat him. The short and fat man rubbed his hands and said.
"Yes, he who beat him, and he was beaten to see if they didn't hand it over. The tall, thin man with triangular eyes and continued.
....
"Hmph, toast and don't eat punishment drinks, and you'll be honest when your mother doesn't know you. The iron tower man glanced at the more than thirty people on his side, and then looked at the twelve members of the Ji family who were obviously less than his own side with disdain, and as for the three torturers, they were automatically ignored.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Brothers, give it to me." ”
The crowd in Qinjiazhai is rushing forward excitedly.
An ice arrow flew out of the moonless place and headed straight for the tall and thin man, who had already seen that the tall and thin man was not pleasing to the eye. Oh, a terrible scream sounded, and I saw the tall thin man holding his bloody left eye with his right hand and screaming again and again.
"Ice archery, it's a spell. A thought flashed through the tower man, and his face was full of disbelief.
Immediately after that, another pig-killing scream sounded, and the short, fat man who was the most arrogant screaming was shot in the knee by an ice arrow sent by Ji Nineteen, and was falling forward with a miserable howl.
"Spells. Not good. ”
"They can spell. Someone in the Qin family finally saw the beginning and end of the spell and exclaimed.
"Retreat. The quick reaction had already stopped the forward momentum, put down the next sentence, and turned to run away.
"Let's go. The tower man also reacted at this time. Turn around and run back. "It turned out to be a spell, how could they know a spell, and it wasn't like a person who had practiced a spell?" countless question marks appeared in his mind.
In the blink of an eye, none of the dozens of people in the Qin family ran away, and the two injured were also dragged away by the panicked crowd. Everyone in the Ji family did not embarrass the last few people, the others were just ready to attack, and did not release the ice arrow, even Wuyue and Nineteen did not kill each other.
"Finally let out a bad breath. The corners of Wuyue's mouth curled and said easily.
"yes. Ji Laosan sighed.
Everyone in the Ji family looked relaxed, and they all knew that the previous Ji family village was bullied by the people in the nearby cottages. Often asked for prey for no reason, not to mention, and from time to time someone was beaten by people from other cottages, because the population of Ji's village withered and was not united.
That night, the explosive news that Ji Laosan's family practiced the Dao Law spread in Jijiazhai and Qinjiazhai.
The people in Qinjiazhai who had bullied Jijiazhai before were worried and afraid of the retaliation of the people in Jijiazhai, so they did not dare to go out hunting alone for several days, and also strengthened the defense of the village. But a few days later, no one from the Ji family came to the door to retaliate, and it didn't take long for people to forget about this matter, what to do.
Each small courtyard in Jijiazhai held a small meeting that night, and the leaders of the last few families also met each other.
After discussion, these leaders also came to Ji Nineteen's small courtyard and knocked on the door to ask to see these families who had not been in contact for a long time. But there was no response from the small courtyard, and they were afraid of angering each other, so there was no movement in the middle of the night, so they had to go back.
Early the next morning, these people came to the small courtyard again and knocked on the door to ask for a meeting, and when the sun was up, there was no sound, and finally they mustered up the courage to push open the fence and carefully step into the small courtyard.
As he walked inside, he shouted out the names of the Ji family he was familiar with. But after searching the entire courtyard, I didn't find anyone, only found a half-big sika deer, a few goats, and dozens of brocade chickens in the backyard.
At this time, someone said, "Didn't this family come back at night?
"Hey, it's possible that they ran away, let's quickly search carefully and find their exercises. A leader said with wide-eyed greed and eagerness.
The other few looked at him disdainfully, "Idiot, I'm going to find you yourself." I don't want to think about who would put the most important exercises in these shabby houses. A man held his mouth and said.
"I don't think it's going to be relocated, the livestock hasn't been disposed of. Judging from what happened yesterday, it may have gone out hunting, or maybe it will be back in a few days. The other said thoughtfully.
"It's hard to say, you don't have to bring three torturers with you when you go out hunting, and you also have cooking utensils. My family saw with their own eyes that they had even taken out three torturers, and some cooking utensils. Another retorted.
"Maybe it's to take the torturers out to go out and experience the experience. The other retorted to the previous one.
"Even if it is not a relocation, it is estimated that it will not come back too soon, and the place where the livestock are kept is full of forage and drinking water. Said a leader who thought he had observed very carefully.
"Have we been relocated, and do we still have a chance to get the cultivation exercises?" the scolded idiot asked aloud.
"Don't rush it. Another faint word.
"Now we're sending a few people to help take care of their yard. When they come back, they won't look so angry, and then we can talk about the exercises. ”
"What my brother said is reasonable. I immediately sent my little sister to help take care of it. The other picked up.
"I think it's better for each of us to send one person, what do you say?" the faint voice sounded again.
"Reasonable. ”
...
"What's the reason, do you need so many people to cook in a big yard?" the scolded idiot continued to ask puzzled. Then there were disdainful glances from the rest.
"That's it. The faint voice finally said.
Besides, the twelve members of the Ji family settled down in the Horse Monkey Cave that day and began to cultivate. Through the day and night cultivation of Half Moon, the three smallest ones of Wuyue, Nineteen, and Wuxi have advanced again, and they have all reached the third level of Qi refining. Their dantian mana has been buffed again, and now with the mana replenished, the three of them can release at least a hundred ice archery techniques.
It was a full moon night again, and the black moon the size of a disc was hanging straight in the middle of the sky, and everyone was cultivating in the depths of the cave, when suddenly there was a squeak from the entrance of the cave.... Quack quack... The noisy sound.
Everyone collected the exercises and hurried to the entrance of the cave to check it.
Hey, aren't these the horse monkeys who escaped? How dare they come back? Just as I was questioning, there was a waw from outside the cave... Ho ho sounds. It's not good, there are Mao people. Everyone quickly adjusted, formed a fan-shaped array, mobilized mana, and prepared to attack.
Sure enough, in an instant, more than a dozen hairy people with red hair jumped into the cave, waving the stone sticks in their hands one by one, and rushed inward with a roar. Without hesitation, a row of ice arrows was released, and eleven Mao people fell in response.
Among them, the fourth sister used spells against the enemy for the first time, perhaps because she was too nervous, and did not hit the target. The lucky three or four Mao people were stunned when they saw their companions fall together.
At this time, with the wah, quack.. A majestic Mao Min, who was a head taller than the other Mao Min, jumped in, followed by several other ordinary Mao Min. Seeing that there were reinforcements, the few Mao Min, who had entered the stunned stage in the early stage, rose up and continued to rush forward, but before they could rush halfway, a row of ice arrows harvested their lives.
Only the majestic Mao Min was hit by an ice arrow and did not fall. I saw him slap his right chest with his left hand, and wave a dark stick with his right hand, roaring and continuing to rush.
The next round attacked his eyes. "The Nineteenth Roar.
The ice arrow that attacked this Mao Min in front of him was released by him, and it hit this Mao Min's chest in a dignified manner, causing only a little skin trauma to this Mao Min.
After the majestic Mao Min had taken more than a dozen steps forward, twelve ice arrows shot him in the eyes. I saw that the black rod in Mao Min's hand was picked up and blocked the ice arrows flying in his right hand, but two of them still hit his left eye. Wow ho ho ho ... He roared and turned around and fled.
At this time, the group of horse monkeys crowded on both sides of the cave moved, quacking... Screaming and rushing to the Maomin. Before the majestic Mao Min could identify the direction, he was rushed up by dozens of horses and monkeys after running a few steps, and the surrounding water was impassable, and then scuffled in a ball.
Wow wow...
Creak...
The wails continued to come out, and after half a tea time, it ended with Mao Min being divided by the horse monkey group.
When everyone saw this scene, they were all terrified, and they were about to release the ice archery technique to drive away the horse monkeys. Suddenly, a horse monkey came out of the crowd, only to see his bloody hands raised above his head, bowing his head and slowly coming towards everyone. Just as the torches in the cave were shining, suddenly a dazzling light reflected from something in the monkey's hands.
"It has something in its hands. Wuxi said.
"Well, there's something, and I see reflections too. ”
Nineteen accepted the law, walked over, and picked up something in the palm of the horse monkey's hand, and the horse monkey squeaked as if flattering. I saw that the object was the size of a pea, round, dark and shiny, reflecting dazzling light in the lamplight.
"Is this the Вjunbi pan province formed by the Mao people by spitting out the black mist?br/>
"Probably. Ji Laosan said.
Seeing that everyone had received their things, the whole group of horses and monkeys squeaked and knelt down to everyone in unison, as if begging for their acceptance.
"Hehe, these horse monkeys are still very funny. Wuyue Le said.
"Or let them perch at the mouth of the cave. "Someone proposed.
"It's okay..."
At this time, the number of horse monkeys was only about 300, which was much less than the more than 1,000 when they fled. Horse monkeys are also well-behaved, go out to forage during the day, and go back to the front of the cave at night to perch, not daring to make a slight sound, walking slowly and carefully, for fear of kicking a small stone to make a sound, annoying the people in the cave.
