"What are you going to do, dad?" Rouxue picked up a piece of beef and handed it to Liu Huaian's mouth and asked with a smile, "Are you going out to find a woman again?"
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Huaian ate the beef and continued, "I have something to do when I go out."
"Sister Rouxue, don't ask." Wen Xiang picked up the wine glass and handed it to Liu Huaian's mouth and said with a smile: "The master doesn't want to talk about it, so naturally it's something we can't know. Even if we know, we can't help the master."
"It's better to smell the fragrance and be sensible." Liu Huaian put her in his arms and fed her the wine. He had to practice in the afternoon, so it was not suitable to drink.
After smelling the aroma and drinking the wine, my whole body felt warm, and my body exuded a faint floral fragrance.
After drinking and eating, Liu Huaian began to practice. It was not until evening that he broke through the fifth level of the mountain realm. He had reached the foot of the mountain and was halfway up the mountain.
The two girls were also completely drained by him. Liu Huaian put on his clothes and said to Wen Xiang who was lying on the bed: "During this period, you should pay more attention to the movement of the elixir and buy some."
"Master, I've been looking for it, but unfortunately the elixir is too rare and there are so many people watching, so it's really hard to find." Wen Xiang lay down on the bed and complained.
"Just try your best. If you really can't afford it, I'll come up with a solution." Liu Huaian sighed helplessly, smiled and comforted him: "Just take care of your family, don't worry about this matter."
Rouxue said with a smile: "That's right, Lord... Dad is unparalleled in the world, and it's not like he can just pick up the magical medicine at his fingertips."
Liu Huaian scraped her little nose and said, "You two can't bully her. She's still young. If she doesn't understand, teach her carefully. Don't speak too harshly."
The two nodded slightly.
Liu Huaian put on his Qingfeng Sword and arrived at the door of Yun Pharmacy before sunset. He saw an old man wearing straw sandals waiting at the door. After saying hello to him, the two of them headed towards Beishan.
The night in Hangzhou is more lively and prosperous than the day, but it does not belong to the two of them.
Liu Huaian followed the herb gatherer's donkey out of the city on horseback. The herb gatherer put the tobacco into the pot and lit it. He smiled and said: "Young man, you must be careful. This Beishan is full of ghosts and is everywhere."
Dirty things. Even in the middle of the day, it makes people’s hair stand on end. It’s definitely more terrifying at night.”
"Old sir, this Beishan Mountain is less than thirteen miles away from Hangzhou. With these things, the officials in Hangzhou City don't care about it?" Liu Huaian asked with some confusion.
The herb collector snorted coldly, exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "They? How can a bunch of beasts who hug women, drink wine and eat meat care about the suffering of the people?"
"This..." Liu Huaian nodded helplessly: "That's right."
The herb collector sighed helplessly: "Actually, these dirty things only appeared recently. I didn't expect it to develop so fast. Several herb collectors have already died."
Liu Huaian was even more puzzled. He asked: "Why did you enter when you knew it was dangerous?"
"Poisonous insects and ferocious beasts guard the mountain spirits, evil ghosts and Rakshasa guard the great medicine." The herb picker shook his head helplessly and said: "In our line of work, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. People are willing to sacrifice for money, and if there is money to be made, some people will risk their lives."
Liu Huaian nodded and said, "That's right. Has the old gentleman ever gone up the mountain?"
"This is natural, otherwise why would I take you up the mountain?" The herb gatherer shuddered and continued: "A month ago, I went up the mountain at noon and saw the black-skinned one-eyed kid and the black-blooded devil.
Lotus. If I didn’t run fast, I would have to explain that I was inside. Alas..."
"Where is the black blood lotus?" Liu Huaian caught up with him on horseback, walking side by side with the herb collector.
"I will show you the way later. Remember to be careful. The most important thing is to save your life." The herb collector turned to look at him and said, "I heard that the young master is very powerful, but it is not a bad thing to be careful."
"What the old gentleman said is absolutely true, but I'm curious, why do you want to go up the mountain so late at night?"
The medicine picker shook his head helplessly and said: "I think you are also an amateur. Black blood lotus feeds on the souls of evil spirits. Evil ghosts wander around late at night, which is also when the black blood lotus blooms. Picking medicine at this time is the best and most effective.
valuable."
"How much does one flower cost?"
The herb picker smiled, raised two fingers and said: "When the flowers bloom, they will be worth twenty thousand dollars. Master, listen to my advice, life is more important than money, don't let money blind you."
Liu Huaian nodded lightly.
The herb collector asked: "Did you bring the amulet?"
"No." Liu Huaian shook his head.
The herb collector frowned and asked again: "Can you ask for a magic weapon to protect you?"
"No."
"Are you crazy?" The herb collector was shocked, "Did you know that there was a herb collector at the first level of the mountain realm who went into the mountains at night and was found on the roadside in the early morning with his legs eaten away. I'll see you at noon.
Hell, you are probably looking for death."
Liu Huaian patted his Qingfeng Sword and said: "My sword cuts iron like mud and cuts people like grass. It is made of Xuanyang iron and can kill monsters."
"Bragging." The herb collector rolled his eyes at him and said, "Old man, I have seen a lot in my life, but I have never heard of such a magic sword."
Liu Huaian shook his head helplessly. He never liked convincing others, especially the frog in the well.
When they came to the bottom of the mountain, the herb collector pointed to the path on the mountain and said: "Go all the way up and follow the red rope marks. Remember, don't run around, let alone deliberately get close to those weird things."
"Thank you, old gentleman, for your advice." Liu Huaian saluted the herb collector with clasped fists.
The herb collector smiled and said, "I just don't want to see anyone die. Remember, life is the most important thing."
"Of course." Liu Huaian asked, "Are you a little thirsty?"
The herb collector nodded and asked, "Why do you ask?"
"After we entered the six-mile radius of Beishan, I felt something was following us." Liu Huaian pointed to the small river next to him and said, "It's in the river. If you get close, you will probably be dragged into the water and drown."
"Thank you for informing me, sir." The herb collector clasped his hands in thanks.
"One more thing, never look back."
"Huh?" The herb collector looked back almost instinctively, and saw a black-skinned imp with one eye and a long tongue sitting on the donkey. It opened its big mouth and bit the herb collector's head.
Liu Huaian stabbed out with his sword, and the kid was wiped out. He smiled bitterly and said, "I've frightened you. One more thing. Go back and change your pants." After that, Liu Huaian walked up the mountain.
The herb gatherer got off the donkey and bowed to Liu Huaian's back.
After going up the mountain, Liu Huaian felt that there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him. Those extremely powerful beings left after one glance. On the contrary, those little devils always followed Liu Huaian.
"The kid is really difficult to deal with. The herb collector is right. This place has only become like this recently. The time is short and there are no serious and dangerous things for the time being. I can handle it." Liu Huaian sighed helplessly: "This world is crazy."
Based on his understanding of the black blood lotus, Liu Huaian learned that the black blood lotus releases spiritual energy when it blooms. If you feed it soul, it will release more.
Ghosts have an instinctive desire for spiritual energy, and the big ghosts kill the little ones to feed the black blood lotus.
The cultivators watch the big ghosts kill the little ghosts, kill mortals to cultivate the black blood lotus, and finally kill the big ghost after it matures and take away most of the black blood lotus.
The little ghosts will start a brutal fight again, and the black blood lotus will grow again.
This is a game of big fish eating small fish. The biggest fish only needs to open its mouth to kill countless small fish.
After seeing the introduction of Black Blood Lotus, Liu Huaian secretly swore that he would become stronger and stronger than anyone else. Only then would he not be swallowed up by the "whale" without even knowing who he was.
.
After walking for about an hour, Liu Huaian saw a T-junction with two roads on the left and right in front.
"Eh... it's really weird. The red rope was originally on the left, why did it suddenly move to the right?" Liu Huaian felt extremely strange.
People all have habits, such as playing glue. Some people are used to the left hand, and some people are used to the right hand. Liu Huaian is used to both hands because they are big.
The herb collector marked the left side with a red rope, indicating that the herb collector was accustomed to turning left first, so the path of exploration was naturally left. A sudden right turn must have meant some important discovery.
If it was true, given the character of the herb collector and Liu Huaian's kindness in saving his life, it was impossible for the herb collector not to say it.
After thinking about this, Liu Huaian felt that someone was passing by on the left. In order to prevent someone from chasing him from behind, he changed the position of the red rope.
Liu Huaian stared at the white rope on the bush on the left and frowned. He pulled out his Qingfeng sword and touched the white rope.
The white rope instantly turned around and bit the Qingfeng sword. Liu Huaian cut off the white snake. The kid picked up the broken white snake and ran away to eat it.
"The spicy neighbor next door actually uses venomous snakes to kill people. You wait for me. I will go over and kill you right away." Liu Huaian ran to the left with light steps.
After running around burning incense for a while, Liu Huaian heard the sound of someone fighting fiercely. He quietly hid behind a stone and saw a man and woman in green clothes fighting a big black snake.
The exposed part of the black snake is twelve meters long. It has a human face and one eye, and spits poisonous mist from its mouth.
The woman in green clothes was already lying on the ground unable to move. She smiled and shouted: "Husband, this damn big snake has been stabbed in the heart by me, and it will die soon."
Liu Huaian took a closer look and found that there was a sharp sword stuck in the black snake's chest. It had no hands and could not be taken out. It was easy to touch during the fight. Every time it touched, the sword would go deeper.
The man in green asked loudly: "My dear wife, are you okay?"
"This big black snake is at the fourth level of the Jianshan Realm, and its realm is the same as ours. It cannot kill us, but it can make us temporarily incapacitated. Husband, be careful."
The black snake spit out poisonous mist again, and the man in green moved around, but the poisonous mist couldn't catch up with him.
Liu Huaian saw the black snake gradually lowering its head and slowly sinking into the pool of blood. He felt happy in his heart. The black snake was also finished.
The woman in green clothes laughed and said: "Husband, we won, these fourteen black blood lotus flowers are ours."
"No, it's mine." The man in green shook off the snake blood on his sword and slowly walked towards the woman in green.
