When the roasted meat was cooked, Shang Liuliu ate it deliciously, shaking his head and saying, "Brother Wang, your cooking skills are really good. This roasted rabbit meat will be most delicious if paired with my sweet date wine."
"
Next to him, Wang Tiezhu was munching meat and did not take up the topic of Shang Liuliu. He estimated that Shang Liuliu would recover for two more days and his right leg would be fully recovered and he would be ready to leave the forest.
Thinking of that forest, Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but think of the strange man wearing a straw mask. He couldn't help but feel doubtful and glanced at Shang Liuliu next to him.
"Mr. Shang, why did you enter this forest? I see that you, a weak scholar, dare to go in alone. I really admire you."
Wang Tiezhu asked intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, Shang Liuliu finished remembering his own wine and looked up to see Wang Tiezhu raising an eyebrow at him and asking. He swallowed the roast meat in his mouth, revealing a mouth of greasy white teeth.
"I actually want to go to the capital to take the exam. Originally, I didn't have to pass through this forest. I was also curious for a moment. I heard that there are strange giant beasts roaming in this forest, so I wanted to learn more."
Long experience?
Are you looking for death?
Wang Tiezhu shook his head helplessly and did not continue the topic. He changed the topic, "Then you are stuck here now, and you don't seem to be in a hurry!"
Hearing this, Shang Liuliu showed a wry smile and said, "You are lucky to be able to walk out of this forest alive. Do you still expect to go to the exam on time?"
That's right. As for this giant unknown creature that appears and disappears in the forest, if you bump into it once and don't get bitten, you are already very lucky. How can you expect to leave smoothly and go to the exam on time?
Wang Tiezhu's eyes paused for a moment on Shang Liuliu's legs. The blisters were not broken, but were wrinkled and clinging to the flesh. The whole leg was still red and swollen. It looked like a piece of bacon that had been shaved off and prepared for pickling.
"Then just relax and prepare to take the exam again next year!" Wang Tiezhu comforted casually.
Suddenly, Shang Liuliu chuckled. He didn't seem to be disappointed or regretful at all. Instead, he smiled a little wildly, "Brother Wang, you seem to be a well-educated person! How come you don't know that the Imperial Capital Examination is held every three years?"
?”
This guy looks gentle, fair and tender, and more of a cultured person than he is. How come he doesn’t even know this bit of common sense?
However, the way Shang Liuliu looked at Wang Tiezhu was very sincere, without the slightest hint of ridicule.
Wang Tiezhu swallowed a mouthful of barbecue and said to himself, "I don't even know where this is. How could I know how often you take the exam?"
"I don't like reading."
If you want to find a reason to deal with it, Wang Tiezhu thinks that this reason is universal and can convince a person.
Shang Liuliu looked at Wang Tiezhu clearly, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, as if he had lost a like-minded person with whom he could talk.
In his heart, Wang Tiezhu also believed that Shang Liuliu had classified himself as a crude and ignorant person, but this was not important.
Anyway, there won’t be much intersection in the future.
Shang Liuliu recovered quickly. The blisters on his legs had scabbed over the next day, and the redness and swelling had subsided a lot, but he still couldn't move too far.
Wang Tiezhu didn't sleep all night, sitting cross-legged by the fire. He once again explored the spiritual sea, and in the vast sea of clouds, the Zunyi Divine Sword still hung there coldly and aloofly.
The golden light shimmers, making the faint sea of clouds appear a bit noble.
"Master, after entering my Dazhui point, what is that supernatural power hidden in the back of my neck?"
Wang Tiezhu leaned against the stone statue and watched the sea of clouds billow. With a swipe of his fingertips, the Xuyan Heavenly Disk fell on his left hand and the Coiling Dragon Seal fell on his right hand.
He can only use the Xuyan Tianpan and the Coiling Dragon Seal now, but due to the limitations of the technique, his spiritual power has stagnated. At the moment, he can only use his mental power to control the Thousand Heart Spirit Control Technique and use the Coiling Dragon Seal.
The stone statue did not answer Wang Tiezhu's question. The dark stone statue was arrogant and stared at the vast sea of clouds not far away. Wang Tiezhu placed the Xuyan Tianpan and Panlong Seal on the left and right sides of the stone statue, then folded his arms and looked aimlessly.
He couldn't mobilize the superpower stored in the Dazhui point on the back of his neck. He looked at the sea of clouds depressedly for a while, then recalled the sight of the superpower input.
That scene was so weird.
Why can he inhale the energy of that tree?
But other identical trees cannot?
And why did he not attract another attack from the unknown giant beast when he touched the black tree?
"Master, do you recognize this symbol?"
Although he knew that the stone statue would not reply, Wang Tiezhu had no place to ask and could only talk to himself.
…
One night was spent in the spiritual sea.
After his consciousness returned to his original form, Wang Tiezhu yawned and opened his eyes. He saw Shang Liuliu with his back turned to him, stretching out his arms and roasting something by the fire. A fragrant smell hit his nostrils.
"Brother Wang, are you awake?"
Shang Liuliu turned his head and saw Wang Tiezhu. He put the roasted black thing on his legs like a treasure. His face was stained with black ash, and he looked even more stupid.
"What is this?" Wang Tiezhu bent down and picked it up. It was dark, soft when pinched, and smelled of the slightly sour smell of fermented fruits.
Shang Liuliu's eyes were bright, and he smiled shyly and said, "I went to pick this in the forest. This kind of fruit is called Nuo Nuo. It is a fruity glutinous rice fruit. You can try it."
Wang Tiezhu smiled shyly at him, making the back of his neck feel cold. He subconsciously moved to the side, picked up the roasted glutinous rice fruit, peeled off the black skin, and revealed the glutinous rice-like fruits inside. He smelled it.
, opened his mouth and took a bite.
“Tastes good.”
It has a sticky texture like glutinous rice and feels very full. After Wang Tiezhu ate one, he refused the next one offered by Shang Liuliu.
"Okay, I'm going out today. Don't wander around again. If you get caught again, I won't save you."
This is true. Wang Tiezhu believed that he could not deal with any giant beast in the forest alone.
Shang Liuliu nodded when he heard this, like a domestic dog that had been raised to maturity. If Wang Tiezhu hadn't been mature enough, his paws might have been placed on top of his head to move his head.
Not long after.
Wang Tiezhu came out of the cave again. After a careful observation, the wind started to blow under his feet again and he ran to the southwest.
At the same time, his consciousness probed out and discovered that there was a large lake not far away, and behind the lake was the edge of the forest.
It was just dawn now, and the surroundings were very quiet.
Wang Tiezhu rarely encountered any giant beasts this time. The journey was safe and sound. Two hours later, he stopped next to a sparkling, crystal clear lake.
This lake was so big that the end could not be seen at a glance. Wang Tiezhu walked carefully to the edge of the lake, looked down, and was stunned.
