Chapter 55: The Crystal
"It's a pity that our Xujiaqiao doesn't produce spars. Wan Ling'er said with a sad face.
"Where do the spars generally come from?" Although Zhao Yuan is from a wealthy family, he doesn't know much about the legendary spars, after all, it is difficult for ordinary people to get access to that thing, even when they are at the peak of the Zhao family's glory, the spars they have are very few, and he rarely touches them.
"Some spiritual veins also produce some ore, but through thousands of years of mining, the ore in nature is basically extinct, and even if there is, the labor cost is extremely high. The current source of spars is mainly the spars formed in the bodies of some spirit beasts and demonic beasts, however, most of the spirit beasts are raised by people, and they are mainly obtained by hunting demonic beasts. ”
"Where are the demonic beasts in general?" Zhao Yuan asked curiously.
"I don't know either...... My father said that the place with the most monsters is the flood area and the monster forest, and then, many famous mountains and rivers have monsters infested. Those famous mountains and rivers of the magical beasts, the spars in their bodies have reached the legendary immortal level, and they have their own wonderful uses. However, such a level of demonic beasts, I don't know how many thousands of years Lu Dao has lived, and they have already glimpsed the way of heaven, and their mana is boundless, not to mention that it is not easy to encounter, even if they meet Lu Dao, it is too late to hide, who would dare to hunt it. ”
"Where's the spirit beast?"
"Spirit beasts are actually similar to the poultry raised by humans, they are all raised by some cultivators with high mana power and some major sects, and they are guarded by families, most of them are hundreds or even thousands of years old, they are more powerful than some cultivators, and there are people to protect them, hunt them, don't even think about it. ”
"The local chronicles of Xujiaqiao said that the Yangshan leopard is the descendant of the reproduction of the spirit animal, because it is inbreeding, it has lost some of the ability of the spirit animal. ”
"Yes, our Xu Jiaqiao, only the Yangshan leopard has a spar on its body, and it is a superb spare, but unfortunately, although the Yangshan leopard has no mana, it is extremely alert and cunning, not only is it difficult to capture, but also the number is scarce, if my father is just one or two pieces of the best spars, we can find a way from the Yangshan leopard, but now it is nine superlative spars, I estimate that the Yangshan leopard in the entire Xiaoyangshan does not necessarily have nine ......"
Wan Ling'er sighed, and gently stroked the Ice Divine Sword in her hand, with a look of reluctance.
"How long does the Yangshan leopard live?" a thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Yuan's brain.
"It's not long, it is said that Yangshan leopards lack any genes because of inbreeding, and most of them only have a lifespan of about 70 years, which is about the same as the lifespan of ordinary humans. ”
"After the Yangshan leopard dies, will the spar inside their body disappear?" Zhao Yuan's heart moved, and a trace of excitement suddenly appeared on his face.
"No...... You mean......" Wan Ling'er's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Zhao Yuan.
"Yes, think about it, Yun Ke has taken the spirit leopard to live in seclusion in the Yangshan area for nearly seven hundred years, and in the past seven hundred years, even if it is only ten breeding a year, the breeding of Yangshan leopards is at least nearly a hundred, or even more, if you find their corpses, ......"
In Zhao Yuan's gaze, a raging flame rose.
"Yes, yes, if we find their corpses, we will be rich......" Wan Ling'er was too excited, suddenly hugged Zhao Yuan and jumped and jumped, and kissed Zhao Yuan on the forehead.
"Let's go find the corpse of the Yangshan leopard. Feeling Wan Ling'er's plump and soft delicate body rubbing against his body, Zhao Yuan breathed deeply and eliminated the distracting thoughts in his heart.
“...... Zhao Yuan, miserable ......" Wan Ling'er's expression suddenly froze, crying and mourning.
"Huh?"
"If there are really hundreds of Yangshan leopard corpses, then we don't have to look for a lot of places, we don't have time now!"
"Don't have to look for a lot of places. Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "In the animal world, some highly intelligent animals will have their own family cemetery, and when they feel that they are about to die, they will rush to the secret cemetery and quietly wait for the arrival of death." ”
"How amazing is that?" Wan Ling'er looked incredulous.
"Yes, in fact, animals and humans have a lot in common, in ancient times, human beings also had their own secret cemeteries, such as some caves and the like, however, with the development of time, human beings have enough strength to protect their own kind of cemetery, in order to facilitate worship, human cemeteries have changed from hidden to public, but still retain some ancient habits, for example, family cemeteries are gathered together. ”
"Ha Luha, that's great, that's great, let's go find it!" Wan Ling'er curled her lips, her crooked eyes like a crescent moon, and shouted excitedly.
"Let's go, let's find the hedron first, and then let's dig up the body slowly. ”
Zhao Yuan shook his head fiercely, and walked in front of Wan Ling'er first to avoid seeing Wan Ling'er's undulating back, but Wan Ling'er didn't like to walk behind Zhao Yuan, and ran in front of Zhao Yuan with joy, Zhao Yuan had to endure the temptation of the graceful back wrapped in the small padded jacket, and control the primitive desire in his body.
Inexplicably, at this moment, Zhao Yuan actually thought of Youlan's beautiful face and indifferent demeanor.
Compared with the lively and simple Wan Ling'er, Youlan is more feminine, and her speech and demeanor make Zhao Yuan's heart pound.
Of course, there is a deeper reason, Youlan is a prostitute.
When a man is confronted with a prostitute, it stimulates the most primitive desires.
All along, Zhao Yuan has avoided any fetters and worries about himself, he knows that he has a good impression of Wan Ling'er, he must nip this good feeling in the bud, he can't let this spark burn the prairie fire.
Zhao Yuan took a deep breath and let himself enter a state of "quiet", and sure enough, the complicated thoughts were swept away, and Wan Ling'er's youthful and energetic body lost its temptation to him, and the primitive and wild desires were buried in the depths of his soul.
"Zhao Yuan, do you have any goals?" Wan Ling'er naturally didn't know that Zhao Yuan had just gone through a complicated mental process, and turned around and asked.
"Let's start by looking along the cave. Zhao Yuan pointed to the dilapidated wooden house with a torch and said: "That Xiuzhen predecessor lives in seclusion here, and those Yangshan leopards are the spirit beasts he raised, presumably, the cemetery of those Yangshan leopards will not be far from him." ”
"However, there is no way out, and there is no secret cemetery that we have searched here. ”
"There must be a way out, but we can't find out. You see, this cave is not damp, the flame of the torch is swaying, there must be a hidden place, and that place is probably the secret graveyard of Yangshan Leopard. ”
"Uh-huh...... Zhao Yuan, you are so smart, it would be nice if I were so smart as you...... When I was a child, my mother always scolded me for being a fool, and knocked me on the head, hum! I was angry and gave birth to a stupid daughter, and she always blamed others, and she also gave birth to a fool, so she can't blame me, besides, if you knock your head if you don't have anything to do, you will be knocked stupid if you are not stupid...... The doctor from Shenlong Mountain said that the head is very fragile, and if you beat it for a long time, it is easy to become an idiot, I think, I am so stupid now, it should be my mother who knocked it......"
“......”
Listening to Wan Ling'er chattering endlessly in front of him, Zhao Yuan felt a familiar warmth. Although he has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and is regarded as a prodigy by his neighbors, in the eyes of his mother, he has always been a fool who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures.
It seems that parents all over the world will always be dissatisfied with their sons......
Perhaps, the expectations are too high.
Thinking of the raging flames and corpses everywhere that night, Zhao Yuan's eyes shot a trace of tyrannical light, and the blood in his body boiled inexplicably.
"Zhao Yuan, it's over. Wan Ling'er stopped and tapped on the rock wall with the Ice Divine Sword, trying to make a discovery.
Zhao Yuan woke up from his memories, only to find that the two had unknowingly reached the end of the cave.
The cave is no different from an ordinary cave, the rock walls are rough and there is no trace of artificial carving, and the rock walls are covered with a thin layer of moss mixed with some water droplets in between.
Obviously, the other side at the end of the cave couldn't be empty, otherwise, it wouldn't be wet.
The two of them each carried torches and knocked stones in the cave, hoping for a miracle, and searched back and forth more than a dozen times, but still did not find the slightest clue. The cave is still the same cave, and all traces show that the cave was originally a primitive cave, except for the traces of carving near the wooden house, the rest of the place is completely natural.
