Chapter 050 Seven Days Period
Meng Xiang opened his eyes and saw everything in the house clearly, but his feeling was strange. It seemed that he had two pairs of eyes at once, one on top of his head and the other on his original position.
He compared it slightly and found that through the vines that blended with his thoughts, he could see things clearly than his eyes, and his vision was wider, with almost no dead corners. Behind his eyes, he could also "see" clearly.
After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes and continued to look at everything around him through the vines. Soon, he discovered that it was more powerful than the eyes. As his position in the vines increased, he saw more and more things and the range became higher and higher, just like a person climbing to a high place step by step.
What surprised him even more was that his position among the vines was high, and when he looked around, things like walls and roofs seemed to be unable to completely block his "view". He could vaguely see everything he wanted to see through them. Although it seemed blurry, it was enough for him to obtain more information.
This novel vision excited him very much. He accelerated the rise, but soon he could no longer move up. He had reached the tip of the vine.
He looked down and the height of the vine above his head was about ten feet high. Since he and the vine merged into one, he could feel that it was growing, but the speed was very slow and it might not be able to grow one inch higher in a few days.
No matter how strange the thing is, it will lose its freshness over time. Meng Xiang is preparing to retreat to his mind along the vines, because he still has a problem that needs results. He can't always hold a vine about meter high on his head.
Just as he was descending from the top of the vine, he accidentally looked into the yard and found that many people, including the mayor, walked into the house under strict guidance, and everyone looked a little impatient.
They said something to Yan Shi, but he couldn't hear it. After listening to their words, Yan Shi seemed to be a little impatient. He walked to his door many times and made a gesture of calling, but in the end they didn't take action. The mayor and the others left, but their expressions were disappointed.
Did something happen? Meng Xiang felt a little uneasy. He immediately followed the vine and returned to his mind, and then separated his thoughts and vine from it.
He opened his eyes and found that everything in front of him became more vivid, and even the floating dust could clearly see their shapes. At the same time, his hearing also recovered, and he could clearly hear the footsteps of Yan Shi walking back and forth.
Meng Xiang got off the bed and walked towards the door. After walking a few steps, he stopped and showed a puzzled look. What if he walked out like this and Yan Shi saw the vines above his head?
Just as he was worried about this problem, the vine seemed to feel his troubles, and took back the part that emerged from his head at an extremely fast speed, and turned into a small hill, sinking into the pale green pond in his mind.
Meng Xiang took a breath and a look of relief appeared on his face, but he couldn't help but reach out to touch the top of his head, wanting to see if the hole is still there. Although the hole is not big, and he can only reach one finger, it is a hole after all, and it is the most delicate brain inside. Once it is damaged, the trouble will be great.
When he touched the top of his head, his fingers told him that the top of his head was smooth and complete, not to mention a hole that could be reached into his fingers, not even a hole the size of a soybean grain was not, which made him feel very strange, but now he doesn't have time to do more research.
He walked to the door, opened the door, walked to Yan Shi's side, and gently patted his shoulder: "Stone, what happened?"
"Brother Meng, you're out!" Yan Shi suddenly turned around and showed a look of surprise, but soon he showed a strange expression, looking at him with a strange look, as if he didn't recognize him.
"What's wrong, stone? Is there anything wrong with me?"
Yan Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Meng, haven't you noticed that you are smelly?"
"It's very smelly?" Meng Xiang raised his arms and smelled it. Sure enough, there was a pungent sour smell.
After washing it five times and using a large piece of soap, Meng Xiang completely cleared away the odor on his body. At the same time, he also discovered changes in his body. Although his skin was still light yellow, it looked extremely delicate and smooth. From time to time, there were light golden textures on his skin, but they were extremely light. With his own eyesight, he could not find it without paying attention.
Meng Xiang changed into a clean set of clothes, walked out with a refreshing look, sat on the chair, poured a cup of tea, sipped slowly, and was very free.
Yan Shi sat down on the other side of the table, looked at Meng Xiang, and asked worriedly: "Brother Meng, what happened just now? Why did you have such a strong smell on your body?"
"Stone, don't be so serious. It's a good thing that my body will smell bad."
"Good thing?"
"Yes. My cultivation has made some progress, and I have forced out some impurities and poisons in my body. Although it is not a complete transformation, it is still very beneficial for future repairs."
"So that's how it is." Yan Shi showed a relieved smile, "I really want to congratulate Brother Meng."
"Okay." Meng Xiang waved his hand, "Shitou, I seemed to hear a lot of people coming in the room just now. What? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's not a hunting competition. The mayor and they hope you can participate, but you've been practicing, and they've been here several times."
"Why are you so anxious? Isn't the hunting competition still a few days?"
As soon as he said that, he found Yan Shi's expression was wrong and asked, "What? Did I say it wrong?"
"Brother Meng, don't you know that you have been in the room for seven days?"
"Seven days? So long? I really didn't feel it." Meng Xiang showed an awkward smile. He had been immersed in the strange things that happened to him, and had no attention to the passage of time.
After a while, Meng Xiang suddenly thought of something, looked at Yan Shi's eyes and asked, "Shitou, have you noticed that there is any difference between me and before?"
"It's different." Yan Shi began to observe Meng Xiang seriously, "Brother Meng, I think your skin has become better. Also, you give me a more calm feeling."
"That's all? Stones, you see these?" A strange expression flashed across Meng Xiang's face.
"Sorry, Brother Meng." Yan Shi scratched his head, "I only see these."
"It's okay, it's okay." Meng Xiang waved his head, and the strange expression on his face had completely disappeared. "I just want to see what changes have happened after my cultivation progress this time."
"Yeah." Yan Shi nodded, "Brother Meng, the invitation from Mayor Yang and Boss Yang, do you think we agree or not?"
"I agree, of course I agree. Not to mention that hunting can exercise our practical ability, even those prizes are very attractive. You know, after we go out, we have to use money everywhere."
After thinking about it, Meng Xiang raised his head, looked at Yan Shi, and said, "Shitou, let's do it. The mayor and Boss Yang and others have been here so many times, and it seems a bit inappropriate to let others come. So, you go to Baiweiju to set up a private room, and then inform them, and you will say that we will treat you to Baiweiju at noon. Naturally, we will also talk about the specific matters of cooperation by the way."
Seeing Yan Shi hurried out of the room, Meng Xiang smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The stone cannot see the vines."
He just poked out a piece about two inches long at the top of the vine and asked Yan Shi to see it, with the purpose of seeing it. If he could see it, he could cover it up with various reasons. Even if he suspected it, he would still be his best friend and had a close relationship, so he would not reveal it casually.
The result made him very satisfied. Yan Shi couldn't see the existence of the vines, which made him feel much more relieved. However, he secretly told himself that he must be more careful. He remembered that if a person wants to succeed, he should consider various situations and try not to move things in a bad direction.
The negotiations between Meng Xiang and the mayor and Yang Juyuan were quite smooth. The only thing that caused controversy was that Meng Xiang changed his reward. This was not that he increased the amount of rewards, but that he changed the type of rewards, from silver and some more precious fur to maple essence.
The output of maple essences is a certain amount every year, from about 40 to 60 drops. In addition to the mayor and their need to use them for some special purposes, they also need to pay a portion of them every year in exchange for help from foreign aid when they are affected by beast disasters.
So the remaining amount of maple tree can be left every year. Here we refer to the freely discrete maple tree essence. It is indeed not much, only about ten drops, and it also needs to be in the case of better growth of maple trees.
The third place is fifty drops. As long as Meng Xiang and Yan Shi can help Maple Town get third in the next hunting competition, the mayor and the others will need to pay them fifty drops of maple essence. Of course, there are some other rewards, but compared with the maple essence, it is not worth mentioning.
If Meng Xiang and Yan Shi can be the second place in the hunting competition, the mayor and the others will need to increase the reward to seventy drops of maple essence, while the first place will need to pay a hundred drops of maple essence.
It seems that the reward is quite high. In fact, the mayor and the others are not at a disadvantage. The hunting competition between Shu Village and Shu Town, which is a thousand miles apart, is once every ten years, and the result of the competition is not simply to show the strength of each village and town, but to the survival and development of each village and town.
Villages and towns that have won good rankings in the competition can not only expand the hunting scope, but also occupy some high-quality hunting grounds and obtain more profits.
If the leaders of the villages and towns that have won the top three, ten years will be enough to increase their villages and towns by at least double, and only with the strength can they survive natural disasters, beasts and even man-made disasters.
There is actually a reason why Meng Xiang seems to be a bit overly rewarded. Originally, the maple tree is within a radius of thousands of miles and is quite strong, and he can get a good ranking in every hunting competition.
Unfortunately, since the number one warrior in the town and the only one-tiger strongman, Yang Bingkun, was accidentally bitten by a green-eyed viper thirty-five years ago and died of poison, the strength of Fengshu Town has declined rapidly.
The last two hunting competitions have not achieved any good results, and the blockbuster high-quality hunting grounds have been occupied by others. If the ranking is lower this time, life in Maple Town will probably be really sad.
