Chapter 13: The Jade Silverfish
kicked the boulder, and Li Wumang was in a much better mood. secretly laughed at himself for being too greedy, and when he saw a ray of white light, he wanted to get the magic weapon out of thin air, there is such a cheap thing in the world.
Turning around to go back to the stone cave in front of me, there was something strange in my heart. After thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong when he kicked the cobblestone just now.
He walked to the corner of the cave and kept the cobblestone with both hands. After looking at it carefully for a while, it was no different. "It seems that I was poor and scared in the past, and I can't bear to give up the luminous jade on it, which is worth hundreds of taels of gold. If you get this thing when you sell baskets in Gaozhou, you don't have to look at people's faces to live. Li Wumang smiled self-deprecatingly and put the cobblestone down.
The moment the cobblestone took off his hand, something seemed to move in a piece of luminous jade. The cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi by himself, he held the round stone in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't feel that there was a living creature in it, and Li Wumang was really taken aback.
Li Wumang squatted down and stared at the luminous jade with a large fingernail, and did not see anything unusual. "With my current cultivation, it is impossible to be mistaken. ”
I looked at it for half an hour, and sure enough, I saw a living thing in the luminous jade move again. Staring at the pin-and-nose space, I couldn't see anything. Nearly an hour later, the place moved again.
"Is it a 'jade silverfish'? impossible!" Li Wumang stood up and pondered.
Among Lu Si's more than 1,000 jade slips, there is a simple record of jade silverfish. This insect does not seem to have been cultivated by immortal cultivators in the Nine Yuan Realm, and many people think it is a legend.
According to the jade slip, the jade silverfish, also known as the 'shadowless jade silverfish', is the size of flax and has wings and can fly. Mothed gold and jade for twenty miles a day. Eat everything, eat it and discharge, and the eclipse is nine taels. I don't know how to cull it. Adopted by the blood of insect eggs, it can be used for three years, and it can be found for thousands of miles. Adults do not know how to store them.
There are also methods for finding and identifying insect eggs in jade slips.
Li Wumang thought: "The jade beetle can still fly, and it can advance two miles in an hour in the golden jade, but if it is eaten in the human body, it will not have to go back and forth dozens of times? Disappearing without a trace is a knowledge, and with my cultivation, I haven't seen the jade beetle until now, let alone what the worm looks like. ”
Transporting ten successful forces, according to the method on the jade slip, I searched for an hour on the cobblestone, and finally saw ten tiny insect eggs.
Squeezed a drop of blood on his middle finger and dripped it on the eggs, and Li Wumang let out a long sigh of relief. The process of searching for insect eggs consumes the spiritual power of the whole body.
According to Yujian, insect eggs cannot be carried. Jade beetles have a three-year larval stage, and human cultivation cannot be controlled. With a very dangerous situation, after three years will find the owner on its own.
Li Wumang didn't know the nature of the jade beetle, and he was a little afraid of the adults in the glow-in-the-dark jade, so he retreated to the first stone cave, blocked the hole cut by the Xuanbao sword with a big stone, and pinched the law seal with his hand after sitting cross-legged, and practiced the "Peep Dao Decision" to restore his spiritual power.
After practicing for nine weeks, close your eyes and breathe for a while. I opened my eyes, walked to the entrance of the cave and moved the boulder away, and it was dawning.
Out of the stone cave, stepped on the flying sword, and searched back and forth in the canyon for two hours, although several medicinal herbs of more than 1,000 years were collected, but no Qiqiao membranaceus was found.
Li Wumang didn't dare to slack off and came to another canyon. When I looked at it today, the trace of poisonous gas in the fog had subsided a lot, and if I looked closely, it was only if there was nothing. Choosing a convenient place, the sword slowly fell to the bottom of the canyon.
The canyon is flanked by cliffs. Although the vegetation is also luxuriant, it is not as dense as the first canyon. It is much easier to find tangram membranaceus.
When he came down, Li Wumang explored the situation in the canyon with his divine sense, and only had doubts about one place, so he tried to avoid that place as much as possible.
I searched in the valley for an hour, picked a few thousand-year-old herbs, and found no other harvest.
There is also a steep wall with a circumference of two miles, and Li Wumang suspects that there are powerful demon beasts there, and he has never planned to go there. Now the tangram has no landing, so it can only take a risk.
Hiding the Xuanbao Sword in his sleeve, relying on the assistance of the Tengyun Fu, Li Wumang slowly floated towards the stone wall.
There is a stone cave at a height of 100 zhang from the bottom of the valley, and there is a faint black mist floating out of the mouth of the cave.
"If there is a powerful demon beast, it should be in this cave," Li Wumang thought to himself.
Suppressing the cultivation on the first layer of Qi cultivation, concealing the aura of the immortal cultivator, Li Wumang carefully looked for the Qiqiao Qi around the stone cave.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and in a place less than ten zhang away from the stone cave, Li Wumang picked two tangrams.
The two tangram membranaceus grew in a crack in a stone, no more than five feet apart. Each plant has seven stems, seven leaves, seven fruits, plus seven colors, seven fragrances, and it is said that it is seven years for seeds to germinate, and seventy years before they can be used medicinally. Therefore, it is called tangram.
Li Wumang got this thing, and his heart was happy. Just patted the things in the hole, didn't dare to look closely, and put them in the storage bag. Retreating a hundred zhang, he slowly flew up.
There is indeed a sixth-level demon beast in the cave. This demon beast has three heads, the whole body is silver-white, more than five zhang long, and the thickness of the bucket. The back has a golden scale from head to tail, which is attached to the back like a golden thread as it swims. Therefore, it is called the "three-headed golden pit viper"
The sixth-level demon beast is comparable to the cultivation of the human cultivation period, and no matter how careful Li Wumang is, he can't hide it. Besides, the two tangram strains have been guarded for seventy years, and today they let a person at the Qi cultivation level cultivate and steal it, without any expression?
Although the three-headed golden-threaded pit is strong, it is not good for the year. This demon beast molts once in a hundred years, and the demon beast is shedding its skin from its three heads at the same time, just in time for Li Wumang to collect medicine. At this time, if you chase Li Wumang, you will definitely break your skin and rotten flesh, and your cultivation will be greatly damaged.
The three-headed golden-threaded pit originally wanted to eat the tangram after molting to restore the demonic power consumed by molting. Knowing this, it is better to eat it yesterday, so as not to make a wedding dress for others.
The demon beast swallowed his anger and didn't dare to attack, so he let Li Wumang take the Qiqiao Qi away.
Li Wumang didn't know that the demon beast was bitter, and planned to leave the dry bone white land when he got out of the canyon. Unbeknownst to him, a fog shrouded the canyon. Seeing the Liu brothers and the other four standing on the edge of the canyon, they all looked at Li Wumang.
Li Wumang was afraid of alarming the storage in the cave, suppressing the cultivation, and he didn't even dare to use the flying sword. He didn't dare to look around with his senses.
Li Wumang's caution gave the four people a chance to cultivate. Otherwise, Li Wumang would have known that these people were waiting for him here, and there was absolutely no reason to send them to the door by himself.
......
Yesterday, the four of them were trapped in the forest by the iron-backed blue wolf and the iron feather owl, and they moved on the branches to avoid the demon beasts.
"Brother Bao, the iron-backed blue wolf under this tree doesn't seem to have much ability, it is better to kill a few with a flying sword, and the rest will naturally disperse. In the evening, Wu Li couldn't hold it back.
"Brother Wu Xian saw that the iron-backed blue wolf would not be able to climb the tree, thinking that this fifth-level demon beast was in vain? When the sun goes down, he will inevitably perform the tree to show the virtuous brother. But if it's just a temptation, don't hurt it. After speaking, he ignored Wu Li.
After a while, an iron-backed blue wolf with a missing left ear became anxious, and crawled down in front of the white-fronted wolf king, whining in his throat, as if pleading.
The wolf king bowed his head, and the iron-backed blue wolf with no ears jumped up, and the rest of the wolves howled strangely when they saw it.
The Earless Demon Beast borrowed the power of running, stepping on the branches of trees three feet above the ground, jumping back and forth between the branches of several large trees, and the sharp and heavy wolf claws sometimes grabbed the trunks of the big trees, and it seemed that it could climb the big trees without the branches.
In an instant, the iron-backed blue wolf with no ears came to the side of several people who cultivated, and the demon beast stood firmly on the branch on all fours, staring at the four people, as if choosing the target to attack.
The demon beast looked at it for a while, its eyes fixed on Wu Li, the demon beast was the most sensitive to the cultivation of human cultivation, and it was choosing the weakest opponent.
Bao told the three of them with divine thoughts: "This demon beast is cunning, it may be who it is attacking, Liu Ke should be careful." ”
The earless iron-backed wolf had a cold light in his eyes, and pounced on Wu Li who was eight zhang away, Wu Li's body moved, and he jumped down on a tree branch on the left side.
How did you know that this demon beast was just a false shot, bent his waist halfway, and pounced on Liu Kui. Liu Kui turned to one side and moved six feet horizontally, letting go of this pounce. Landing on the branch of another large tree.
The demon beast pounced, grabbed the trunk of a big tree firmly with its four claws, turned over, and pounced on Liu Kui again.
Next, the iron-backed blue wolf with missing ears pounced on Liu Kui more than ten times, and Liu Kui listened to Bao Bao's command and did not dare to hurt the demon beast. With the help of the flying charm, he tossed and turned among the trees in the forest. Dodge the monster's attacks.
The wolf king under the tree let out a low roar, and the iron-backed blue wolf with no ears had to stop, jumped off the tree, and ran back to the wolf king.
With one claw, the wolf king knocked the earless iron-backed wolf to the ground, letting out a "whine" wail. The wolf king stood up and led the wolves out of the woods.
When the iron feather owl in the air saw it, he roared a few times and flew away.
When it got dark, the four of them fell to the ground, and they all let out a sigh.
"Brother Bao, it's getting dark, and I don't know where to stay. Wu Li's tone was very respectful.
"What do you mean by the two Liu brothers?" Bao changed his arrogance just now, and looked at Liu Ke with his eyes.
"Brother Bao knows monsters very well, and my brother and I are all arranged by Brother Bao. Seeing Bao Fu looking at himself, Liu Ke was a little restrained.
"I know that there is a stone cave ten miles ahead, if the two brothers Liu have no other opinions. It's better to settle down there. Bao said politely.
Liu Kui seemed to be afraid of the wrapping cultivation, and nodded hurriedly: "Just go there." ”
Wu Li also guessed something from the change in his attitude, but he was not sure, and he also respected the Liu brothers.
The four of them stayed in the stone cave for one night, and the next morning, they stepped on the flying sword and came to the Zhitian Peak, covering not like Li Wumang to look around, and together with the other three, they landed directly next to the canyon where the three golden thread vipers were hiding.
......
As soon as the four of them stood still, Li Wumang flew out of the mist.
Bao Bao and the other four people had their own thoughts, and when they saw Li Wumang coming out of the canyon, they didn't speak. Just stared at Li Wumang with his eyes.
Li Wumang saw this posture and knew that these four people were playing their own calculations.
