Chapter 64 The bright moon throws itself into my window
"Sword species? Why is there a sword species in the devil's cave?"
Ping Jiangqiu was reading an old book that he had read more than a dozen times. He was not immersed in it at all. He said casually: "Well, it is possible, but I don't say it must be."
Tang Zhaodao: "Isn't it said that sword species are rare? What is the relationship between the devil's cave and sword species?"
Pingjiang Qiu said: "It is very rare, and it has attracted the covetousness of the devil."
He put down the book and explained: "A long time ago, everyone thought that sword seeds were rare, but it was often found in the devil's cave that one could get sword seeds by killing demons. At that time, some people still thought that swordsmen were evil heretics.
It set off a wave of anti-swordsmen. However, later everyone knew that it was not the sword species in the devil's cave, but the sword species that would attract the devil's cave."
"The devil's cave, heavenly demons, and phantoms are essentially foreign bastards. The heavenly demons are the strongest, but they rarely come. Once they come, they will inevitably be accompanied by the devil's cave, and even the environment will change. It is not easy for them to come, and they must be profitable.
For example, sword species, it is said that they can eat sword species alive to increase their strength. Those phantoms and the like are the servants of the demon. They may be strong or weak, most of them are not strong, and powerful warriors can deal with them. But they are very strange, and they are extremely numerous.
"Many, when the evil moon comes, it will crackle and fall down, swish into the ground, and then hide in unknown places to harm people, making it difficult to prevent. Generally speaking, most of the evil disasters are caused by phantoms."
"As for the ferocious beasts, that's not a big deal. They are local beasts that have been affected by evil spirits and become crazy. They are rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so they are usually left to the same rough-skinned and thick-bodied charlatans to deal with them.
You know, make me a martyr or something."
Tang Zhao was silent and said: "That is also a hero who protects the country and the people."
Pingjiang Qiudao: "In the past, once the devil's cave came, they all came after the sword species. It was a disaster or an opportunity, and many people came to grab it. But later, the devil's cave came more and more frequently, and there was no need for a reason. It came whenever they wanted.
, 90% of the demon caves do not have sword species, but they are becoming more and more powerful and unprofitable, and no one is interested in them. They can only be maintained unless they are recruited by the imperial court. There are only small local forces and desperate people who have never seen the world.
Only disciples want to take risks."
He shook his head, his expression became depressed, and said: "This world is going to end. The devil's cave is a permanent disaster. Even if the devil destroys the devil's cave, it will not be destroyed. It is like a scar, covering the land here and there sooner or later, even for farming.
There is no place. The wild beasts have become ferocious beasts, and there is no way to kill them all. The cattle, horses, and beasts have either mutated or died. Not to mention that there are more and more demon phantoms. Our world is like a sieve... Sooner or later, everyone will die! Still!
I’m safer here.”
He kept talking endlessly, always saying that he was hopeless. Tang Zhao was very upset when he heard it. Regardless of whether it made sense or not, it made people feel depressed anyway.
Tang Zhao asked: "I see that the environments of the devil's caves are different, and some eventually turn into forests and water pools. Isn't there a magic cave that makes the land rich? Can't we make use of the changed land?".
Ping Jiangqiu hummed: "What are you thinking? The devil's cave is full of Yin Qi. Most people are corroded by Yin Qi, at least they will become seriously ill. How can they use it?"
Tang Zhao said: "Aren't there crops that can grow in Yin Qi? How about cultivating them specially? Ordinary people can't get close to them. What about the masters with strong blood Qi? What about the casual people who have practiced Gang Qi?"
Ping Jiangqiu looked strange and said: "What are you thinking about? Let alone Sanren, heroes with strong martial arts are enjoying life and drinking outside, why do they want to farm in the devil's cave?"
Tang Zhao said: "You don't have to farm the land yourself, but you can let the powerful ferocious beasts farm the land? Wouldn't it be good to divide the land in the devil's cave to make money? And although the ferocious beasts are unpalatable, they can be eaten and are very nutritious.
, why not raise them and cut them for meat?”
The more Ping Jiangqiu listened, the more incredible he became, and said: "What are you thinking about? Aren't you a scholar? How did you think of farming?"
Tang Zhao wanted to say that this was what Mr. Chen taught me, but considering that he had never seen the Demon Cave and had no idea what was going on inside, it was just empty talk and did not conform to the principles of doing things taught by Mr. Chen, so he stopped mentioning it and just mentioned it.
Write this down.
He continued to read the information, followed by various introductions, speculating on the environment of the devil's cave and various monsters, mainly the demons and various phantoms. Among them, the phantoms were very detailed and looked strange and a bit scary. Fortunately, they were just pictures, no matter how scary they were.
It's also limited. As for the demon, I only guessed its size and couldn't even draw a picture.
"There's still a quarter of an hour left." Ping Jiangqiu suddenly reminded.
Tang Zhao turned his head and said, "What?"
Pingjiang Qiu said: "Someone is looking for you outside."
Tang Zhao hurriedly stood up and said, "Ah? Then I..."
Pingjiang Qiu said: "We two are reading here, the others are nothing, just tell them to wait."
Tang Zhaodao: "How can I be as grand as you? I have to go -"
Pingjiang Qiu said: "I noticed it a long time ago, so I left an extra hour for you. There is still a quarter of an hour. You can comb your hair, wash your face, and get ready."
Tang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and as expected he washed his face by the water and said, "Who is here?"
If someone kicks in the door in the middle of the night, it won't be the judge again, right?
Then climb out of the jar by yourself and not reveal your secret on the spot?
"It's the little girl owner of Black Spider Villa." Pingjiang Qiu said.
Is it the Black Widow? Why is she here?
Was it Xing Ji who asked her to come?
Looking for trouble with yourself?
"Be careful with her."
Tang Zhaoyilin: "Of course."
"She is very charming, don't be fascinated by her."
…
When Tang Zhao crawled out from under the bed, he happened to see the shadow outside the window.
Someone is here, but they haven't entered the window yet.
Ping Jianxia's senses are very keen.
Although Tang Zhao knew it was the Black Widow, he had to behave normally. He took out the magic weapon from under the pillow and shouted in a low voice: "Who?"
Someone outside the window laughed and said, "Who do you think I am?"
The voice was sweet, with a sense of laziness.
Yuan Qing's voice is very charming, but this charm is always a bit deliberate. Black Widow's voice is not deliberately soft, but fresh and bright, but it just feels tingling in the ears.
Just like she never does those charming looks, but she has a natural charm of her own.
It's just that Tang Zhao is not old enough, so he only feels friendly when looking at her, and has no other feelings.
Opening the window, Tang Zhao was surprised and said: "Master? What are you..."
There is indeed a black widow outside, and her face becomes brighter and brighter under the moonlight, as bright as the new moon.
But she was not wearing the usual white clothes, but a Taoist robe and a crown on her head, which made her look like a nun.
Black Widow smiled and said: "You don't want me to come in?"
Tang Zhao said: "Please come in. Ah, no, you wait, I will open the door." He walked around to the door and opened it.
Of course, he couldn't refuse the Black Widow to come in. This was his own villa, and he was just a guest. Furthermore, even if he tried to stop her, could he stop her? Pingjiang Qiudu told him not to mess with the Black Widow.
Moreover, he is too young, so even if he invites a woman in in the middle of the night, he will not arouse any suspicion.
Black Widow entered the door, looked around his small room, and said: "It's really small here. Isn't it comfortable to live in? There's not even a mirror."
Tang Zhao thought to himself: Mirror? Is that something necessary?
Black Widow actually took a baggage and placed it on the table. There was a mirror in it. She propped up the mirror, took out rouge, gouache, eyebrow pencil and other items and placed them on the table.
Tang Zhao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: The black widow came to visit at night and was actually putting on makeup in his room?
As expected, Black Widow started to pick up the gouache and said: "I'm going to a place tonight and need to make up. It's windy on the road. I can borrow your place for a while. Is that okay?"
Tang Zhao nodded, but she also started to melt without objecting.
She smiled and said: "By the way, do you want to go? The place I go to has something to do with your mission."
Tang Zhao was stunned and said: "Me? Master Xing, do you know?"
Black Widow said: "Is there something he doesn't know? Have you seen the information he gave you? There are several people in it. I want to meet them. This is the task he gave me."
Tang Zhao said: "One of our own or the enemy?"
Black Widow said: "Enemies. What's there to see about our people? The time limit is coming. Some people couldn't hide before, but now they have found their traces. I will go and find out for them."
Tang Zhao suddenly said: "You are going to meet the enemy, so you have to disguise yourself?"
Black Widow turned her head and said, "That's right."
Tang Zhao was surprised when she tilted her head to one side. The corners of her rippling apricot eyes drooped and half of their brilliance was lost.
So fast, makeup is really a magic trick.
"If you want to come with me, just change into the clothes in the bag."
There was also a set of Taoist robes in the bag. Tang Zhao compared it and found that it was about the same size as himself. It could almost be considered tailor-made. He thought to himself: Good guy, aren't these all ready? Have you made up your mind to ask me to go?
Immediately afterwards, he thought of Xing Ji telling him, asking him if he was bored and if he wanted to ask the owner of the village to arrange a small job for him.
Could it be this?
Disguise reconnaissance sounds good, and spying on future enemies is also a business. Tang Zhao also wants to go. Since Xing Ji allows it, and there is a master like Black Widow leading it, then this trip will only gain knowledge and there will be no danger.
,Why not do it?
"Can you come back in one day?" He didn't have much time. Although he had cans to replenish his supplies, it was better not to waste too much.
"Don't worry, it's just for tonight. I'll be back before tomorrow night."
"Then follow the owner's instructions."
It was inconvenient for him to change clothes in front of the black widow, so he opened the door and changed his robe behind the door panel. When he came out again, the black widow had already stood up in front of the mirror.
At this time, she was still a beauty, but she was no longer charming at all. Instead, she was extremely solemn, even a little unsmiling, which made her beautiful appearance even darker.
She waved her hand and said, "Come here, I'll put on makeup for you."
Tang Zhao said: "Do I want it too? No one recognizes me, right?"
Black Widow teased: "Not necessarily, I remember you still have a reward of one thousand taels of silver on your back."
Tang Zhao said angrily: "I heard that there is a mysterious swordsman who wants to find me. What am I worth?"
Black Widow said: "Are you going to be a little Taoist boy or a little girl? Just put on your eyebrows and you will look like a cute girl."
Tang Zhao immediately said: "I want to be a boy!"
Black Widow said: "A female Taoist priest and a male Taoist boy are not serious Taoist nuns." Seeing that Tang Zhao was speechless, she chuckled and said, "But I am indeed not a serious Taoist nun. Then it is a boy."
As he spoke, he packed up Tang Zhao's hair and helped him put his hair into a bun. Fang said, "Okay, let's set off."
