Chapter 30: Li Changgeng's Opportunity
In the No. 708 Kongxuan Mine Cave in Pancheng, Li Changgeng was counting the latest raw ore that had been transported, when suddenly the ground shook violently, and the scorching flames erupted from the ground, burning to death a few mine slaves who had not had time to escape. Li Changgeng hurriedly picked up the banned card beside him, but he was not flustered.
The formation activated, and layers of light curtains overlapped, like an invisible giant net covering the hole. A pair of sharp horns and a sharp claw came out of the mine, tearing at the light curtain desperately. The light curtain erupted with a strong light, and frost and thunder spread along the light curtain.
There was a scream from inside the mine.
This was followed by the injured roar of the beast and the roar of rage. Gradually, the sound faded away, and the hot ground that had been burned before began to cool.
The one who attacked the mine just now was a kind of earthly demon beast, born with the art of earth escape, and his favorite thing is to raid some mines, taking advantage of the inattention to devour the mining slaves or the sorcerers guarding the mines.
After a while, Li Changgeng untied the formation, and then cast the Divine Blade Technique, smashing several sharp blades like sharp swords into the mine.
There was a harsh grinding sound in the mine, but there was no scream or roar of the monster.
Nodding to the fellow behind him, he summoned a few miners and drove them into the mine to continue their work.
Although the work of guarding the mine is dangerous, in fact, as long as you pay attention, safety is still guaranteed.
"Demon beasts have been active a lot lately, and there are not enough mine slaves to apply. I don't know when the sect's demon slaying team will arrive. The disciple in charge of dispatching the mine slaves said with a frown.
Li Changgeng smiled at him and said: "This is also a matter of no choice, the frequency of the emperor's slurry at night has been weird recently, and those demon beasts must have been stimulated in some way." โ
The other disciple suddenly whispered, "Have you heard? Emperor Flowing Pulp is weird, it seems that it is because a certain big demon is cultivating some kind of supreme demon method, and it is in our Donglai Kingdom. Recently, there have been a lot of foreign witch cultivators in Donglai Kingdom, among which there are also big people from Xia Kingdom. โ
"That's not what I heard, as far as I know, an ancient demon cave was newly discovered in our Donglai country, and it is said that it is the cave of an ancient demon king. Those big people from the Xia Kingdom came for this. Chatting about gossip, several other disciples who were in charge of guarding the mine also gathered around.
"No matter what, it has nothing to do with us after all, everyone is still spiritual, don't be taken advantage of by those demon beasts. The remaining miners must also be protected, otherwise there will be no miners, and we will have to go to the mine ourselves. Li Changgeng said.
Everyone nodded yes, obviously quite convinced of Li Changgeng.
When the shift time came, Li Changgeng handed over the ban card to control the formation and did not return directly to his dormitory in Pancheng. I walked to the market and bought two catties of venison, and made eight taels of Du Kang wine, and walked straight to the Jiaowei area at the end of Pancheng.
Jiaowei District is not a slum because even the poor do not want to live here. It is not on the outskirts of Pancheng, close to the vast Donglai Barren Forest, and the number of demon beasts in the Donglai Barren Forest is second to none in the entire Donglai Country. Almost every day, some slender monsters would sneak into the Jiaowei area and stare at Pancheng with greedy eyes. If anyone dares to live here, they will always face the danger of being eaten alive by monsters.
Therefore, the people who live in Jiaowei District are either bold artists, or they have long put life and death out of the way.
At the end of Jiaowei District, there is a blacksmith shop. Although there was always the breath of demon beasts around, none of the demon beasts dared to offend this blacksmith shop.
When they saw Li Changgeng coming over, the hidden demon beasts were a little restless.
Hum!
There was a light snort in the blacksmith shop, and those demon beasts suddenly became honest, and they all restrained their breath, and they didn't even dare to look at Li Changgeng again.
"Master Mu, I'm coming to see you!" Li Changgeng pushed open the door of the blacksmith shop and walked inside.
In the blacksmith shop, an old man full of muscles is constantly beating the stubborn iron in his hand with his upper body, and he has neither a hammer nor a pliers to hold the iron in his hand, but operates with both hands. With his fist as a hammer and his hand as a plier, he is not afraid of fire and a hot soldering iron.
"What did you think about what I told you?" the old blacksmith asked as he looked at Li Changgeng.
Li Changgeng shook his head and said, "Master Mu, I said that I wouldn't go with you, and I still have to go back to Yujing Mountain to take care of the young master." โ
The old blacksmith snorted coldly and said, "What kind of bullshit young master to take care of!" You are a natural innate golden body, except for sword cultivation, the most suitable thing is to become a refiner of our lineage." And you are not good at fighting by nature, so you can only choose the latter. Your innate genital gold body is overdepleted, and you must make up for it as soon as possible, otherwise your innate qi will be exhausted, and it will be difficult to return. Who is more important than their own future?"
"Master Mu, I respect you because you saved me and learned a lot about me. But you can't insult the young master. Li Changgeng's face became ugly.
The old blacksmith waved his hand: "Don't say it, don't say it." I don't know what the pavilion master likes about you kid, and he has to take you back. Speaking of the back, the old blacksmith's voice was already extremely low, and Li Changgeng had never heard it at all.
"But what I'm saying is for your own good, you also want to help your young master, right? Do you have the ability now?" the old blacksmith was old and refined, and quickly changed his angle to persuade him.
This sentence just hit Li Changgeng's weakness, he has no talent to fight, and even lacks the courage to fight, which has always been a pain in Li Changgeng's heart. But some defects are born and are really hard to make up.
"Let me think about it again! At least with the young master's consent, if he doesn't agree, I won't go with you. Li Changgeng said stubbornly.
The old blacksmith sighed: "By you! There are also today, it is so difficult to accept an apprentice. โ
"Have you practiced the boxing techniques I taught you?" asked the old blacksmith as he changed the subject.
Li Changgeng said: "I'm almost done, I don't know if it's right, I'll practice for you." โ
With that, he handed the cooked venison and the Dukang wine to the old blacksmith, and opened the fist rack with his free hand.
"Final word. โ
"Shocking. โ
"There is no ring in the ground. โ
"Messy cloak. โ
"Fists into the sea. โ
ยทยทยทยท ๏ผ
One move at a time, and gradually a strong intention condensed on Li Changgeng's body.
After doing it again, the old blacksmith clapped his hands and said, "It's not bad! Remember that although this set of "Hundred Refining Fist Method" has little combat function, it has the effect of forging the body, which can greatly stimulate your innate Gengjin body. We must study diligently and practice hard, and we must not slack off. โ
"I know Master Mu!" Li Changgeng replied honestly.
Now continue to go to the backyard and recite the "Wonders of the Heavens", and you must be able to clearly distinguish each material recorded in it, without the slightest mistake. For example, the appearance of demon blood cold iron is similar to that of ** pure gold, but the demon blood cold iron is hot in the water, and ** pure gold is not meltable without three flavors of real fire. And Chihiro wood and Chihiro wood, just a word difference, but in fact there is a fundamental difference, once used wrong, it will cause great losses. The old blacksmith said.
Li Changgeng wrote them down one by one, not daring to have the slightest disrespect and rebuttal.
As long as it doesn't involve his young master, Li Changgeng is a good boy who is diligent and modest.
Watching Li Changgeng turn into the backyard, the old blacksmith shook his head, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The innate body of Gengjin, this qualification has nothing to say. In addition, he is humble, studious, and extremely courteous, so he is really a good apprentice. If not overly stubborn in something, it's just perfect.
The old blacksmith took a sip of Du Kang, smashed his mouth, and squinted his eyes to enjoy it.
The wine in the mortal world is naturally not as good as the wine of Wu Xiu, but the old blacksmith drinks that mood, which has little to do with the taste.
Li Changgeng's recitation came from the backyard.
"In the mountains of the eastern suburbs, there are beasts of strange tin, and its head has horns, like gold and iron, and it is not melted in fire, but needs to be struck by lightning and turned into glue. โ
The old blacksmith shook his head at the sound of recitation, and looked extremely happy.
At this time, Zhang Baijian had already taken Wang Lingguan to find the mine where Li Changgeng was stationed and asked those disciples about Li Changgeng's whereabouts.
"Li Changgeng's words, he should be in Jiaowei District now! He has been going there very diligently recently, and I don't know what evil he has fallen into. A disciple who was quite familiar with Li Changgeng said.
Jiaowei District is the most dangerous place in Pancheng, and Zhang Baijian also knows this.
Hearing that Li Changgeng often ran there, Zhang Baijian couldn't help but be a little worried, and quickly rushed towards Jiaowei District with Wang Lingguan.
As soon as he stepped into the Jiaowei area, a fierce demonic aura came to his face.
A dark and eyeless strange snake came out of the ground, opened its mouth wide, and showed a mouth full of sharp teeth and bit at Zhang Baijian and Wang Lingguan fiercely.
"Pointing to the ground as steel!"
Zhang Baijian pointed a finger, and the originally soft ground quickly solidified, becoming like steel. And half of the body of the strange snake was still in the dirt, so it was firmly killed on the ground, and it could only face Zhang Baijian and their teeth and claws, but they couldn't continue to get closer.
Sou!
A huge rat burst straight out of the abandoned house next to it, its sharp teeth sticking out like a sharp sword.
"Earth Thorn Technique!"
Zhang Baijian tapped his fingertips again, and several sharp earth thorns stood out, directly piercing the huge mouse.
The vitality of the big rat is extremely strong, and even if it is pierced on the earthen thorns, it still constantly twists its body and emits a piercing scream.
"What a handsome earth-based technique!" Wang Lingguan said enviously. He was born with mediocre skills and could only polish his body and practice martial arts, so he was extremely envious of Zhang Baidao's supernatural earth-based techniques.
"Be careful! These are just small minions, they are all first-order low-level demon beasts, nothing or anything. I'm afraid that there are second-order or even third-order demon beasts hiding here. "Zhang Baijian is not so optimistic, even if his earth-based magic is supernatural, after all, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands.
