Chapter 25 Entering the Mountains for Treasures
Lou Yi looked at the exquisite scabbard and knew that this thing must be very precious. Although he liked it very much, he still handed it back.
"Uncle Liu is so precious, I can't ask for it!"
Seeing that Lou Yi refused to accept it, Liu Yuan took the knife back, touched it gently with his hands, and said slowly: "Child, this knife is the material that Uncle Liu has saved for decades. He originally wanted to leave a memory for himself, hoping that when he could break through the foundation, he would let the sect build a spiritual weapon."
He looked down at the knife, with a bitter smile on his lips, and said slowly: "However, decades have passed, and your Uncle Liu has always been stuck in this period of decline. One step away has made me not make any progress in seventy years. I think there is no hope of building a foundation in this life..."
"No, no!" Lou Yi shook his head and shouted.
Liu Yuan touched his head and handed the knife over. Seeing that Lou Yi refused to accept it, he said, "Child, please accept it. Uncle Liu has been practicing hard all his life and has no children. I will treat you like my child, please accept it..."
Then Lou Yi took the knife away and kowtowed to Liu Yuan three times. Liu Yuan said repeatedly: "Good kid, good kid, get up."
Lou Yi pulled out the short sword, and the mind controls the small wind technique. A faint blue light spread from the strange stone on the side of the knife, making the entire blade covered with a thin layer of green light.
The green light flowed slowly like water ripples, causing Lou Yi to hold the hand of the knife and feel a wave of wind feedback, making him feel that the knife is not only not heavy, but instead the knife has become an extension of his arm. He can clearly feel every part of the knife, and even the resistance of the blade when it passes through the air can appear clearly in his mind.
"Uncle Liu's knife is really good. Is it a waste to use it for me?" Lou Yi still felt that this thing was too expensive, especially after he tried it.
However, Liu Yuan did not answer him, but turned around and waved to him. Lou Yi touched the back of his head, took the knife back into the scabbard, and stroked it with love.
This is the best gift he has received. Although he doesn't know what level of spiritual weapon this knife is, he doesn't care about it at this time. After all, this knife is more than a hundred times better than his hatchet.
Just as Lou Yi and his friends walked out of the sect, three sneaky figures followed them quietly from behind. One of the middle-aged men was holding a box with black wood patterns in their hands. The box exuded a strange smell of medicine. He was muttering something in his mouth, and suddenly pointed at the wooden box, and the lid of the box popped up.
At this moment, three black and brown insects slowly flew up from the box. The middle-aged man bit his tongue and sprayed it at the three insects. A strange scene appeared. After the three insects were stained with blood, blood-colored markings began to appear on their bodies.
Almost in an instant, three strange rune marks appeared on them. The middle-aged man took a deep breath, pointed his finger in the direction of Lou Yi's departure, and shouted in his mouth: "No trace!"
The three swaying insects suddenly disappeared in front of him like three streams of light. The man's face looked a little pale, as if he had just used the magic, which made him a little tired. A man next to him was wearing a coarse linen coat, a square scarf, and a black cloth hanging on his chin. His age looked similar to that of a short man, and he was the middle-aged man who had followed Lou Yi.
He said to the short man: "Senior Brother Feng is really a hard work this time. When the cold firefly is obtained, Nie will definitely complete what he promised to do as soon as possible."
The short man glanced at him and sighed, "What are you really planning to do about this? Is it worth it?"
After saying that, the short man looked at another person next to him. He was tall and strong, with strong body and powerful body. His eyes were covered with blood, giving people a chilling feeling. This person was named Kong Wu and a famous thug in the outer sect. Anyone who knows him knew that the reason why this person was arrogant and vicious was because someone was behind him.
This is actually a common practice for outer disciples. The strength is accumulated through many ways. If a monk wants to try his best to improve his cultivation and collect a large amount of cultivation resources, he needs to build his own power. Those who are willing to rely on the power will naturally be protected. This is often a win-win approach.
When Lou Yi went to the test bench, those guys who were competing for the future were planning for their future, while those who were desperately showing themselves were also holding the ambition to create their own power and taking other people into their own use.
The reason why Kong Wu was willing to help Nie Jinye was not because Nie Jinye was powerful, but because Kong Wu's master wanted Lou Yi to disappear, because Lou Yi was hurt by his dog in the sect in the sect, and for this time someone in the sect had already hinted that he would restrain him, which made him very dissatisfied.
After that, he arranged for Manager Zhong to secretly tell the servant surnamed Li. Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not kill Lou Yi, but also took his life into it. Fortunately, Lou Yi did not make any statement this time, and the matter was left in the end.
But this breath was so uncomfortable that Lou Yi became a thorn stuck in his throat. Who is he? The dazzling genius in the outer door, a guy like an ant, without power and mediocre qualifications, no virtue can make him feel uncomfortable.
It happened that Nie Jinye asked someone to help at this time. Originally, he was not looking for Kong Wu, but another disciple named Gao, and this disciple happened to be his person, so he arranged for Kong Wu to help Nie Jinye with only one purpose, kill Lou Yi, and if Liu Yuan dared to get in the way, he would do it together.
How could a waste like Liu Yuan, who has been stuck in the mortal stage for decades, attract his attention? As long as he breaks through the foundation building as soon as possible, he will be called an inner disciple, and then more people will curry favor with him. Even if the truth is revealed, I think the sect will not turn against him for the sake of the two wastes. At worst, if it really doesn't work, Kong Wu will be punished and at most, he will subsidize some resources for his family.
However, Feng Keng didn't think so. The reason why he promised Nie Jinye to help was because Nie Jinye was a disciple of the Medicine Garden and was usually responsible for setting up a medicine garden. The disciples of the Medicine Garden could all come into contact with pharmacological books. Nie Jinye promised to help him collect the inner sect classics [Kinmen Pharmacopoeia], so he agreed to help him walk. However, now seeing Kong Wu here and seeing Nie Jinye's outfit, he naturally understood what they were going to do, so he kindly reminded him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Kong Wu walked up with a sneer, lifted Feng Keng up, spit it on his face, and threatened: "You dare to care about Master Ji's affairs? Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"
Nie Jinye hurriedly came up to smooth things over. In fact, he didn't want to make things happen like this. His original plan was to follow them and then take the lead in robbing Han Yingcao, but now he is in a difficult situation. He can never afford to offend the person behind Kong Wu. At the very least, he can kill the limbs and at the worst, he can directly let them disappear. He is really a lawless devil.
He signaled that the major matter was the most important thing, and then Kong Wu snorted coldly and threw him out, threatening fiercely: "You better keep your mouth tighter, otherwise..."
With a puff, a stone in Kong Wu's hand was directly pinched and exploded. The stone powder fell from his fingers. He shook his hand and shook the stone powder and flew all over the sky. Feng Keng was so scared that he handed a box to Nie Jinye and left without looking back.
At this time, Lou Yi and Liu Yuan were walking on the way into the mountain. At this time, Lou Yi was waving the short blade of the flowing wind to fight with three bobcats. He saw his figure wandering around, avoiding the bobcats' attacks again and again.
The short blade in his hand flew in the air like a flowing light. A green light flashed by, and the short blade opened a bobcat that had passed over his head and broke the belly. The other two turned around and wanted to run. Lou Yi shook his hand and flew out the short blade, and at the same time he bent his bow and arrow to shoot the other one.
He heard two screams sound almost at the same time, and then the two bobcats fell into a pool of blood. Lou Yi happily rushed over to confiscate the prey. The bobcat's flesh was sour, but its fur was very valuable. Moreover, there was a body gland in the bobcat's body, which was one of the raw materials specifically used to make tracking talismans. A piece of such a body gland can make about a hundred tracking talismans, and its value is quite considerable.
In the blink of an eye, the three bobcats seemed to have been stripped naked, leaving only flesh and blood. The bobcats' bones were hard and arrows suitable for bows and arrows. These were also taken down by Lou Yi and put away.
Liu Yuan never intervened from beginning to end. Seeing him busy alone, his eyes were filled with relief. Lou Yi wiped his sweat and said to Liu Yuan, "How is Uncle Liu? Am I very awesome?"
Although he is eight years old, he is still a child's character. Children naturally want to show themselves and then get recognition and praise from adults. Lou Yi is no exception in this regard. Liu Yuan smiled and said, "It's not bad, but the movements are too stiff, and you still have to practice diligently."
Lou Yi grinned and said, "Yes, the three big bobcats are still a little nervous. If you don't know you, you won't be so embarrassed."
As he said that, he touched his pants with his hands. Three cracks about one foot long were torn open by the bobcat. At this time, the cold wind blew into it, making his butt feel cold and uncomfortable. More importantly, he was even more embarrassed when Liu Yuan saw this.
I followed yesterday's route. I wonder if I was hunting too fiercely yesterday. Today, there was nothing else to gain except those three bobcat skins and a few other things. This made the little guy want to show his enthusiasm and slowly descend. When he was bored, he could only wave the short blade of the flowing wind in his hand while walking, and made a squeak in the air.
But no one noticed that in the air and behind them, three blacks were slowly following them, like three little ghosts. These were the three insects released by Feng Keng before. At this moment, Nie Jinye also had a bug in his hand, but its color was golden. At this moment, it was quietly lying on Nie Jinye's palm, and golden powder flew out at the front, forming a golden thin line in the air, constantly extending forward. The direction they were moving happened to be where Lou Yi and the others walked.
