Chapter 6: Spiritual Beads
On this quiet mountain night, only the roaring sound of wild beasts can be heard in the Qilin Mountains, but in the small village not far from the mountains, you can faintly see a faint light of fire and bursts of crying.
The place where the fire glowed was not elsewhere, it was Zhang Peng's house hiding in the cave of Xishanling.
On a small, shabby square table, an oil lamp emitted a faint glow. I don't know if the small table has been used for too long, the whole small table looks tattered, and it will make a creaking and shaking sound when you touch it, as if it may collapse at any time.
The flaming light of the oil lamp on the table swayed in all directions with the mountain breeze pouring in from the holes in the worn window paper, as if it would be extinguished immediately the next moment.
There were three people sitting around the dilapidated wooden table, Zhang Peng's father Zhang Dazhu, Zhang Peng's mother Zhang, and Zhang Peng's brother Zhang Tie, and on the tattered wooden bed not far away lay a little girl who was already asleep, Zhang Peng's little sister - Zhang Qiaoer.
I saw that Zhang Peng's mother kept sobbing, her voice was completely hoarse, and her eyes were already swollen from crying.
Zhang Peng's father, who was sitting next to him, also had a sad face, his eyes had long since become colorless, and Zhang Tie, who was sitting under the woman, also had red and swollen eyes that were bloodshot.
His face was abnormally pale, obviously knowing that Zhang Peng had not been able to get out of Xishanling, which had dealt a fatal blow to this already poor family
Just when the family thought that Zhang Peng must have been eaten by the wild animals in Xishanling and was hurt, Zhang Peng at this time was indeed not far from death.
It had been less than an hour since he had eaten the two kiwifruits. Zhang Peng first felt a cool breath swishing from his stomach, and suddenly penetrated into all parts of his body, making him feel extremely cold all over.
It didn't last long, and then I felt the parts of my body start to warm up from the inside out, and it got hotter and hotter. This made Zhang Peng begin to wonder in his heart whether what he had just eaten was really a poisonous fruit, and the medicinal power was only now beginning to dissolve.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Peng wanted to scold God for being unfair. But before he could scold, this heat suddenly turned into a sharp pain like a prick in thousands of steel needles and an itchy crawling through thousands of ants.
This made Zhang Peng, who was not the slightest defenseless, fall straight and straight in pain. His body directly bowed into a bow, his hands protected each other, and he began to roll on the ground, and his immature screams of pain continued to sound throughout the cave.
And this kind of inhuman pain and itching has been tormenting Zhang Peng's meal for almost a while, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In the time of this meal, Zhang Peng had a trace of consciousness to think. He himself didn't dare to guarantee that he would not directly hit the stone wall of the cave with his head, and he was already hoping to reduce this inhuman pain and itching a little.
Now this pain and itching has always passed, and Zhang Peng's face has completely turned snow-white, without a trace of blood, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans continue to drip down his cheeks to the ground.
And the strange thing is that because of climbing the cliff, those rocks and vines left a lot of large and small scars on his body, but at this time, they all disappeared completely, and a strong fishy smell emanated from his body, which made people smell and vomit.
Zhang Peng, who was lying on the ground at the moment, did not make any sound in his mouth. However, his heart kept cursing the fruit he had eaten before, which brought him this inhuman pain.
And when he didn't know it, it was this inhuman pain that had washed his entire body, muscles and bones, and even brought him away from the boundaries of mortals, so that he had an immortal spiritual root that was almost unique among mortals. so that he can practice immortal art in the future, so that he can embark on the immortal path.
It didn't take long for Zhang Peng, who was lying on the ground, to be smoked by the smell of the fishy smell he emitted.
After getting up from the ground, he immediately took off the set of clothes that had been tattered, and he suddenly found that the surface of his body was no longer a shocking bloody wound, but covered with a thick layer of gray sticky unknown substance.
The fishy smell is the result of this gray substance. This discovery surprised Zhang Peng, and he stood in place and thought about it in confusion, but finally didn't come up with any reason.
But the smell was so sick to him that he wanted to wash it off immediately.
When I walked to the pool, I reached out and felt the temperature of the water, and found that it was not too cold. And the water in the whole waterhole is not deep, only about a foot deep.
Zhang Peng, who was relieved, immediately walked into the pool not far from the center of the pool, sat down, and began to rinse the layer of gray substance on his body with the pool water.
It didn't take long for Zhang Peng to clean the gray substance all over his body. Looking at his skin without a trace of scars, Zhang Peng touched it with his hand, feeling that he was not dazzled, and immediately said in ecstasy:
"I'll just say how can my luck be unlucky, it seems that this must be specially arranged for me by Grandpa Fairy, thank you Grandpa Fairy for giving me the fairy fruit. ”
Zhang Peng ** bent up, knelt on the ground again, and after knocking his head three times, he ran towards the strange plant.
"Hey, it wasn't like this just now, how did it change. Zhang Peng stared at the ordinary plant in front of him with a puzzled expression, scratched his hair, and muttered to himself.
"Hehe, whatever, it's a fairy tree given by the fairy grandfather anyway. I moved back and planted it, and maybe I could still produce fairy fruits, and then I could give them to my father and brother. Zhang Peng smirked twice, then held the stem of the plant with both hands and gently pulled it out.
One point of strength;
Three-point strength;
"Hey, it's pretty sturdy. Zhang Peng shook his hand and stared at the plant and muttered to himself;
Eight points of strength;
Very;
"Ah, come out for me, come out. Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, tightly grasped the stem of the plant and pulled it vigorously, how could he still be cautious at the beginning for fear of destroying the fairy tree.
After a cup of tea, Zhang Peng was tired and kicked on the ground. Just now he finally pulled the plant out.
"Oh, no. Zhang Peng shouted nervously, and then rushed forward.
I saw that the two-foot-long plant lying on the ground was withering and disappearing at a rapid speed. When Zhang Peng pounced, he only touched the root pit where the immortal tree had grown, and the immortal tree was all turned into ashes and dissipated.
Zhang Peng threw himself on the ground, looking at the almost empty ground in front of him, he was stunned, he didn't expect a living immortal tree to be destroyed like this.
At this time, Zhang Peng's careful liver was beating wildly, and he was deeply afraid that his actions just now would offend the immortals, so he would be punished by the immortals.
"Maybe there are still seeds, I will be in the middle of the seeds, maybe I can grow another fairy tree, but the gods will definitely not blame me, and I will look for it myself." ”
Zhang Peng thought of it in his heart, and then hurriedly turned over the pit where the fairy tree grows.
It is said to be a dirt pit, but in fact, it is only a piece of ground the size of Zhang Peng's two palms, and the others are as hard as iron. After a while, a round lump of earth and stone was dug out of the pit by him.
"Hey, what is this, is it a seed?" Zhang Peng held the pimple and looked at it a few times, then ran to the edge of the pool with a happy face and began to clean it.
When he washed the sludge off the surface of the bead, he found that it was not a seed, but a bead the size of a spade.
With the faint starlight in the cave, Zhang Peng was able to roughly see the appearance of the orb. The beads are dark green as a whole, with uneven surfaces, dark green unknown patterns and some strange gold symbols inlaid on them. It makes this thing seem mysterious.
Although he can't see the beads clearly, the appearance of this thing is very popular with Zhang Peng, who has never seen any exquisite items.
What's more important is that the acquisition of this bead can be called extremely weird, Zhang Peng has summarized this thing as a thing given to him by the gods in his heart, and regarded it as his most precious thing.
Seeing that he was happy to hunt his heart, after playing with Yuanzhu for a meal, Zhang Peng realized that he was still in the terrible Earth Dog Peak, and the danger had not diminished at all.
After washing his tattered clothes, Zhang Peng held the beads and fell asleep again.
The second was clear, after Zhang Peng put on his clothes, there was a "bang", like the sound of some kind of cloth being torn.
I saw Zhang Peng put a dark green bead into a rag, let Hou carefully wrap the cloth, and then tied it around his neck into a dead knot.
Zhang Peng, who was afraid that in the process of going down the mountain, he would lose the dark green beads. He had to tear off the sleeve of his left hand in his clothes and use it as a temporary storage package, and it looked like he was ready to go down the mountain immediately.
