Chapter 32: Successive efforts, Lingzao is obtained
Use a short dagger to skin and disembowel a rat and rabbit with autumn fat on both heads, and pick out two pairs of fangs and sixteen pointed claws. Although it is a stumbling job, as a monk, you must learn these dirty jobs with bloody hands.
Do.
The books he had read specifically explained collection techniques such as peeling animal skins and picking out animal teeth.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, so he just treats it as a practice to collect materials.
It’s not a pity even if it’s wasted.
The two pika and rabbit skins had some damage. He used sand and water to clean the residual blood and grease on the skins. He used a few shrub branches to prop up the skins and stood them up against the wall to dry in the shade.
Wrap the pika's head and tail and other things in the water with a cloth, lift it out of the cave and throw it down the cliff. The stone hall still smells bad. Dry sand and gravel are sprinkled on the blood stains. It will be cleaned up when the time comes. It will take time to dissipate the smell. p>
He lit a charcoal fire, placed the teppanyaki he had built himself on the simple stone stove, poured some fat, and placed the large pieces of rat and rabbit meat that had been smeared with salt on it and slowly grilled it.
He had already used the method of moving ants to prepare daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, charcoal, etc. in the cave, making the cave his survival shelter, and stocked a lot of dry food and water.
For the next three days, he would go down every morning and evening to check the ripeness of the jujubes.
On the morning of the fourth day, Chen Mou encountered trouble while climbing the rock wall. The big black bird suddenly shot down from the sky like an arrow. The timing he chose was exactly when Chen Mou was on his way to a bush twenty feet below.
It is also the farthest distance.
The black bird has obviously been observing from a high place these days. It wants to make Chen Mou lose sight of one thing and have nowhere to stop. If he dares to use his hands to fight back, he will fall off the cliff. If he doesn't fight back, he will be killed by the bird's claws. Either way, he will die.
Hearing that something was wrong, Chen Mou didn't hesitate to step on the cliff with his toes.
The whole person suddenly took advantage of the force, stepped on the figure and turned around in the air, unsheathed the sword, and trampled on the stone wall with a final kick.
The rubble and dust flew up, and the figure was as powerful as lightning. With the sword's light and the rising sun shining with murderous intent, it rushed straight towards the black bird that turned around and fled seven or eight feet away.
Use all your strength with one sword and risk your life.
The black bird didn't expect that the flightless two-legged beast in front of it went crazy. It wanted to fight with it and die together. It wanted to flap its wings and escape upwards, but it was too late to change direction.
It was too fast, and the sharp bird's eyes were dazzled by the dazzling cold light.
"Poof!"
Chen Mou smiled as he pierced the belly of the panicked bird with a sword without any scruples.
The man and the blackbird suddenly disappeared into the falling sky.
The next moment, Chen Mou pierced the black bird with his sword and appeared near the ruins of the misty forest. It was night in this world.
He reached out with lightning in his left hand and pinched the neck of the big bird who was still dazed after traveling through it for the first time. His energy exploded and "clicked" to break the badly wounded and weak big bird's neck, giving the black bird no chance to make a comeback. p>
He had long been on guard against the demon bird's plot. In the past few days, most of the back and forth was for the black bird to see.
The winner is more likely to win. He relied on the advantage of ancient jade and Yaoguang's sword moves to trick the blackbird who dared to attack him to death.
Also eliminates an overhead hazard.
After successfully killing the black bird, Chen Mou didn't stop for much, dragging the demon bird and disappearing again, leaving only a few drops of blood and a few flying bird feathers.
After throwing the body of the demon bird into the cave, Chen Mou was stained with a few blood stains. He wiped the blade clean and put the sword into its sheath. He walked out of the cave again, climbed smoothly and landed on the root of the tree. The skin of the jujube was almost purple-black.
He estimated that the dates would be ripe today.
In fact, it is okay to pick ripe dates a few days later. He is worried that the aroma of wild spiritual fruits will attract other monsters.
Chen Mou did not wait under the sun, he climbed into the cave above and waited.
About half an hour later, he suddenly heard the sound of metal chains colliding with each other from below. Chen Mou quickly stood up. Sure enough, another monster smelled the scent and came to snatch his spiritual fruit. Fortunately, he did not remove the trigger-type simple iron hook trap.
.
When he arrived nearby, he saw an eight-foot-long black and yellow snake, entangled with iron chains. Many iron hooks were clasped around the snake's body and tightly strangled. The hooks were straightened and did not penetrate the tough flesh.
snakeskin,
When you see a demonic snake trapped, how can you be polite?
He stabbed with his sword, and his energy rippled at the edge of the sword, turning into a piercing cold light. It was fast, accurate, and precise.
"Poof", the tip of the sword easily pierced the seven-inch vital point of the snake's neck, which was as thick as an egg.
When Chen Mou saw the triangular snake head twisting around in pain, with its fangs spread wide open, he secretly said something bad, put his left hand on the root of the tree, and jumped into the distance with his body stabbed diagonally.
A stream of venom spurted out from the ferocious snake's mouth, a little slower than him, sprayed out in a semi-fan shape behind him, and spilled onto the rock wall below.
In a life-and-death fight, you can't be careless.
The demon snake has strong vitality and is much more difficult to deal with than the black bird demon bird.
His falling figure disappeared into the air again and appeared on the remaining wall and feet of the misty forest.
"Who?"
I heard a man yelling nearby.
Chen Mou, who had just appeared, disappeared in an instant. With the ancient jade from time travel in hand, for the first time, he experienced the pleasure of being able to travel anywhere in the sky and on the earth. It was so exciting!
As long as he's careful, he's almost invincible because he can escape faster.
After staggering a few steps, Chen Mou pressed his dizzy forehead with his left hand and rested for a while in the cave to recover.
He traveled back and forth twice in a very short period of time, and his body was a little overwhelmed.
In the future, when your cultivation level is high and your soul is strong, this influence will no longer be a problem.
After drinking a few sips of water and wiping the sword blade clean, Chen Mou walked out of the cave again and rushed to the vicinity of the Lingzao Tree at very high speed.
The strange snake rolled out of the iron chain, hit the rock wall with bang bang bang bang, and fell to the bottom of the cliff at an unknown depth. It was obviously dead.
What a pity for his trophies and the many spiritual dates that were knocked down.
Chen Mou stepped forward cautiously and observed the large and small black holes corroded by the snake venom on the rock wall. He secretly thought that it was a luck that the snake venom splashed on his body, and the taste must be unpleasant.
Then I noticed that under the sun, mist overflowed from the surface of each round jujube, forming a strange scene of "Rizhao jujube producing purple smoke", and a pleasant fruity fragrance wafted along with it.
Zi Yan Ling Zao is ripe.
Chen Mou quickly took off the cloth bag from his waist, took out a small pair of scissors, used his lightness technique to step on the thorn-free tree trunk, and quickly cut and picked the fruits one by one. In less than half a quarter of an hour, he successfully collected the remaining spirit from the spirit tree.
Zao, there are no other monsters coming to cause trouble.
He finally understood why the rats and rabbits started eating unripe dates a few days in advance.
Because after the fruit matures, they have no share.
He did not remove the iron chain and the remaining traps, but carefully carried the Ling Zao that he had finally obtained, and climbed back to the cave.
He left two jujubes to try for himself tomorrow, and put the rest into a wooden box lined with soft cloth that he had prepared. He wrapped the wooden box with green cloth, took off his clothes quickly, and gave
Wrap the body with linen strips and put on another set of prepared robes.
He put two layers of paper masks with painted faces on his face, put on his cloak, thought for a while, and put the big black bird into an oilcloth bag to prevent blood from dripping, and put a big cloth bag outside.
Carrying two items, he traveled through time and appeared in the forge of his house.
In the dim light, the bag accidentally bumped against the chair, making a particularly harsh sound of the chair falling to the ground in the dark night.
"Who...who?"
Ying'er's trembling screams came from the bedroom over there.
Young Master said that when the formation protection is turned on, no one from outside can come in. Anyone who dares to force his way into the courtyard will alert the market and the patrolling monks.
"It's me, your young master, I just came back."
Chen Mou comforted him and said, "You don't have to get up. I'm going to put some things away and I'm going to Fangshi soon."
He calculated the time and found that most of the shops in the market had not closed yet. He wanted to take advantage of the darkness and the spiritual fruits were still fresh to sell them at a good price, otherwise he would have to wait until tomorrow night.
Ying'er was overjoyed when she heard that her young master had returned. Only the young master could avoid touching the courtyard's formation protection.
"Young Master, are you ever hungry? I'd better get up and prepare a midnight snack for you and warm a pot of wine."
Chen Mou opened the door leading from the forging room to the outside of the eaves steps. He returned from the adventure smoothly and was in a good mood. He smiled evilly and said, "Wait obediently. Young Master will eat peaches when he comes back later."
