178 Conflict
The breeze blew gently through the treetops, making a rustling sound.
On the calm stream, a brown wooden basin was swirling.
Looking carefully, in the center of the unknown stream, a whirlpool is constantly pulling the wooden basin. It seems that it only needs a few more turns to swallow the wooden basin into the bottom of the stream.
The edge of the tub was very high, making it difficult to see what was inside. One could only catch a glimpse of something wrapped in a cotton blanket as the tub swayed with the water.
From time to time, there would be bursts of sounds like a crying baby coming from the tub.
Is there an infant child inside?
Zhang Dong, holding a bamboo stick, was constantly leaning out, trying to hook the wooden basin to the shore.
As a result, it seemed to be just a little bit worse every time, and the wooden basin would dodge his bamboo stick due to the swaying of the water waves.
Whoosh!
Zhang Dong, who leaned too far, lost his balance, slipped, and fell headlong into the creek.
"Why!"
The next second, a hand firmly grasped his back collar and lifted him up!
"What are you doing?"
Hearing Mr. Li's voice, Zhang Dong, who stood firm, said quickly: "Sir, you are here just in time. There is a child in the wooden basin. You are taller than me. I will hold you. You can hook the wooden basin over.
!”
With that said, Zhang Dong handed out the bamboo stick in his hand.
Glancing at the wooden basin, Li Qingshan said lightly: "Look at the whirlpool in the stream, why has it not been able to swallow up the wooden basin?"
"Did you almost catch it many times, but the tub just happened to swing away?"
"This..." Zhang Dong frowned, wondering why Sir would ask such a strange question at this critical moment: "Sir, why don't we save people first..."
"Look carefully, this place is the source of the stream, and it is deserted for dozens of miles. Who would run that far just to lose a child?"
"The cry was intermittent. Although it sounded like a baby, there were still some differences."
"Are you really sure that there is a child in the tub and not some other strange thing?"
"If you had just fallen into the water, are you sure you could still stand up?"
Hearing this, Zhang Dong looked at the wooden basin again, and a cold sweat broke out from his back.
"Let's go, it's good to be kind...but you also need to see the true nature."
"Remember to take the pots and bowls."
With that said, Li Qingshan turned and left.
He didn't bother to take care of what was in the tub.
Gudu!
Awakened by Li Qingshan's words, Zhang Dong swallowed his saliva and felt goosebumps crawling all over his body. Seeing that his husband was about to walk away, he quickly picked up the iron pot and bowls and chopsticks on the ground and ran to follow him.
After returning to the place where a few people rested, Li Qingshan just told them to go to bed quickly, and then he slept cross-legged and meditated and watched the night.
This place is not peaceful. Since I can't sleep, I'll move the "Spark".
On an endless avenue of immortality, countless sparks dance.
The Spark Technique is like an invisible fishing line, constantly pulling sparks from the avenue to Li Qingshan's limbs and bones.
The foot of the mountain is not very quiet late at night, and the sound of insects is endless.
After a short time, all three students fell into a deep sleep.
This was their first trip, and even though they spent most of the time riding in a carriage, they were tired after all.
[Star Fire Technique: Yellow Level 3rd Grade (80%)]
[1,000 sparks have been moved today (the upper limit has been reached!)]
【Get longevity: one month!】
[Current lifespan: 36 years!]
[Walking on the Wind: Level 1 (99%)]
An hour later, Li Qingshan completed his daily task of "moving his birthday".
Originally, he thought that to advance to the next level, he only needed to use his skills every day.
He did exactly that and improved it to 99%!
However, it has been a long time since it reached 99%, and no matter how he used it again, he could no longer make any progress.
Could it be that this Tao Feng Xing is similar to the "Shou Shou Sword" and requires longevity energy to activate it to advance?
I have to say, it seems possible!
"Woo...Woo...Woo!"
A baby's cry came from not far away.
The sound was not loud, but it was extremely harsh and sharp in Li Qingshan's ears!
Swish... accompanied by a whistling sound, Zhang Dong, who was sleeping soundly, stood up. His hands and feet were a little stiff, and he walked towards the stream with his eyes closed!
Afraid of waking up the two girls, Li Qingshan winked at the little red horse beside him who also noticed the strange movement.
The little red horse whispered: "Eh."......Leave this to me!
Li Qingshan dodged and appeared in front of Zhang Dong instantly.
He stretched out his hand to hold his shoulders... He was extremely stiff, like a zombie.
boom!
He made a trip under his feet and knocked Zhang Dong down directly. He waved to the little red horse again.
The little red horse tiptoed over and stepped on Zhang Dong's chest with its front hooves.
Zhang Dong, who was suppressed, kept waving his hands and trying to get up, but he couldn't get up.
Li Qingshan took out a stone knife from his book bag and walked straight to the creek.
...
In the middle of the stream, the wooden basin that was about to be swallowed by the whirlpool was still spinning there.
Li Qingshan walked to the stream. The seemingly edgeless stone knife in his hand looked "harmless to humans and animals" under the moonlight.
"I gave you a chance." A calm voice came from his throat.
It was this incomparable sentence that broke the tranquility of the night.
"Hur...hoo...hoo!"
The roaring sounds of beasts came from the wooden basin.
The thing inside seemed angry that Li Qingshan had repeatedly ruined its good deeds.
boom!
The wooden basin suddenly exploded, sending fragments flying everywhere!
A black shadow rises into the sky!
Under the moonlight, Li Qingshan could see its appearance clearly.
This thing is covered with several inches of black hair. It has a pair of orangutan eyes with a fierce light. Counting the hands and feet, it has six limbs!
Perhaps it was because the blanket on his body was torn to pieces, and a strong fishy smell emanated from his body!
"It looks like a horse or monkey, has six limbs, has fierce ape eyes, and is full of fishy stench."
Li Qingshan had seen the introduction of this object in a book called "Miscellaneous Comments on Strange Objects".
According to the book, this thing is called "Drowned Monkey". It often lives by the water. It is extremely intelligent and is good at imitating various sounds to confuse humans.
After luring them into the water, they drowned and ate them.
But what is not written in the book is that this thing seems to be able to hypnotize and bewitch. Zhang Dong was asleep just now, but after hearing its cry, he walked towards the creek like a zombie.
go.
Whoosh!
While thinking, the drowned monkey opened its six limbs and rushed to Li Qingshan, and dug its sharp claws into Li Qingshan's heart!
Take one step forward and your body will move like the wind.
Li Qingshan's figure disappeared from the spot and appeared behind the drowned monkey. He raised the stone knife and lowered it, directly cutting off one of its arms!
"Hey!" A shrill scream sounded!
Huh! The birds in the forest were frightened and flew up!
