Chapter 122: Strange Stones
Lu Shaoyu and Fang Yi naturally didn't know what the caravan leader was planning, so Fang Yi put the stone he had brought back in front of Lu Shaoyu and said, "I found this in that hole, Shaoyu, you see, what kind of stone is this?" ”
Lu Shaoyu squatted down and looked at the stone.
The stone is a white blank, slightly transparent, like rough jade, and like heavy limestone. If you look closely, it's more like a stalactite, which is a bit weird. And there's a layer of gelatinous stuff stuck to it, I don't know what it is.
Lu Shaoyu stretched out his hand and touched it gently, only to feel a wet and greasy feeling on his hand. He put his finger under his nose and sniffed, and suddenly felt a terrible smell.
"噫~~"
Lu Shaoyu shook his hand, threw the sticky thing in his hand to the ground and wiped it a few times, and turned his head to the other party: "You go and fetch a bucket of water, this stone has been licked by a tiger." ”
"Huh?"
Fang Yi's eyes widened, he felt a little itchy on his face before, and he was scratching with his hand, his hand was stained with a lot of sticky liquid because he was holding the stone, but he thought it was originally on the stone, and he didn't care, and when he heard Lu Shaoyu say, he was stunned and said, "This is the animal's...... Droozing, vomiting...... ...... vomit"
Fang Yi retched a few times in a row, and when Lu Shaoyu said this, he suddenly felt that his hands and face were extremely fishy, and he ran towards the tent in the distance. It was a long time before he ran back, his face and hands flushed, and he came back with a large bucket of water.
Lu Shaoyu put the stone in water to clean it, washed off the fine mud and saliva on the outside of the stone, and when he scooped it up again, the stone had turned into a milky white jade.
"What is this?"
Lu Shaoyu touched it and felt that there was a smooth fine powder on his hand, which seemed to be washed from this stone, like flour.
This stone is a bit strange, Lu Shaoyu is very unfamiliar with many things in this world, so he can't recognize what kind of substance this stone is. But this stone can actually attract the tiger and the gray wolf to fight, and it must not be an ordinary thing.
Moreover, there was a lot of saliva on the stone, and it was expected that the tiger would often lick the stone.
Lu Shaoyu borrowed a knife from the caravan guard beside him, and carefully cut off the outer layer of the stone, making sure that there was no tiger saliva on it, and then scraped the surface of the stone with his fingernails, and a very small amount of fine gray stone powder appeared on his nails. He stuck out his tongue and licked the powder gently.
The stone powder melts in the mouth, a bit like the feeling of salt, very bitter, and there is a faint strange energy coming out of these stone powders and integrating into Lu Shaoyu's body.
"Huh, what is this?"
Lu Shaoyu closed his eyes and felt this extremely subtle strange energy in his body, this energy was somewhat similar to the feeling of the power of Taiyin entering his body, and it actually had a little bit of an enhanced effect on his body. Although this enhancement is very far from the pure power of Taiyin, if you lick it for a long time, it will still have a certain effect.
"No wonder the tiger licked this stone, it turns out that this is the reason, it is estimated that this stone is the crystallization of some special energy and some minerals. ”
Lu Shaoyu thought secretly.
Xuan Qi can crystallize into Xuan Ling Stone, and it is not uncommon for other energy to combine with certain substances to turn into stone. However, the energy contained in this stone is too scarce. The wisp of energy that entered his body just now was extremely weak, and if it weren't for his keen sense, I'm afraid it would be difficult to find it.
The sensory organs of animals are much more powerful than those of ordinary humans, and both the tiger and the gray wolf know the usefulness of this stone, and they will fight for it at the cost of their lives. Lu Shaoyu has the power of Taiyin to refine his body, and this stone can't be used by himself.
He picked up the stone and handed it to Fang Yiyi: "I don't know what this stone is, but it is a treasure, it contains a special substance, if it is ground into powder and taken, it can have the effect of enhancing physical fitness." ”
"Really?" Fang Yi glanced at Lu Shaoyu suspiciously, hugged the stone, hesitated for a while, and stretched out his tongue to lick it.
"Ahh......h Bah...... It's bitter. Shao Yu, you are lying!" Fang Yi spat repeatedly.
"Uh, why are you licking such a big mouthful? Try a little bit, and then go for it. Although I don't know what this thing is, it shouldn't be poisonous, or the tiger won't lick it. Lu Shaoyu said.
This stone was found by Fang Yi, Lu Shaoyu didn't mean to ask him, anyway, he had the power of Taiyin to refine his body, and this stone had little effect on him. If Fang Yi could absorb all the energy in this stone, it was estimated that it would also help his physique to a certain extent.
"You're really not lying to me?" Fang Yi asked cautiously.
Lu Shaoyu glanced at him: "When did I lie to you?"
Fang Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right." After speaking, he learned from Lu Shaoyu's appearance, gently scraped off a little stone powder with his fingers and put it in his mouth, and felt it slightly, and sure enough, he felt that there was a strange energy integrated into his body.
"Oh, it's true. Fang Yi said happily.
The two talked, and the people around them also gathered around, and they looked curiously at the stone in Fang Yi's hand.
Although these people were all merchants who traveled from south to north and were well-informed, none of them could recognize the origin of this stone, and everyone talked about it. When they heard that this stone was actually the crystallization of some kind of energy, and it also had the effect of strengthening the body, they were all secretly amazed. There were several guards in the caravan who wanted to pay for the purchase with Fang Yi, but Fang Yi naturally did not agree.
Some people expected that there was still this kind of stone in the cave, and they all climbed down the cliff to look for it, but the result was in vain. But the tiger was dragged back by them, the tiger skin was bitten by the wolves, there are few intact places, even if it is peeled off, it is not worth a few dollars, but the tiger meat and tiger bones or something are treasures, everyone gathered together that night, boiled tiger meat and boiled tiger bones, and then with a few jars of spirits, and ate a feast of tiger meat.
There was nothing to say all night, and it was fun.
The next day, the caravan continued on its way. The person in charge of the caravan intended to curry favor with Lu Shaoyu and the others, arranged them in the team, and deliberately vacated two mules and horses for them to ride, and made friends in every way.
Lu Shaoyu naturally knew his thoughts, and did not refuse, and Fang Yi rode on the mule and horse, meandering forward with the caravan. Along the way, he often talked to the caravan leaders around him, intentionally or unintentionally listening to all kinds of information about Anzhou and the Tang family.
And Fang Yi was not interested in Lu Shaoyu's topic, since he got that strange stone, he had been holding the stone in his arms all day long, and he had to lick it whenever he had time, as if this stone was a delicious piece of sugar.
Seeing him in this situation, Lu Shaoyu didn't stop it, he just thought in his heart: "After I go to Anzhou, find a place to arrange a magic circle to help him refine the energy in the stone, and save him from holding the stone and licking it, I don't know what year and what use it will take to absorb the energy in the stone." ”
The caravan slowly marched through the mountains...... (Thank you 8000031767 and Lori for your generous reward yesterday.) Please recommend and collect support, thank you!!=^__^=)
