Chapter 68: Seeing the Poison Vein for the First Time
During the chat, Lin Fengjin curiously asked about the power of the demon life of Lord Montenegro. Lord Montenegro was also a cheerful person and said that he had already used the power of his demon life at the critical moment of life and death. Then
It is the power slowly stored in his own blood. Every once in a while, he can deliver a terrifying blow regardless of his current state. The power of this blow is twice that of his own heyday!
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin secretly despised Lord Black Tiger in his heart. He said he wanted to ban the power of demon life, but in fact, he didn't use it when it came to life and death?
In his heart, he immediately disapproved of what Heishangjun said before. Of course, Heishangjun seemed to know everything, and Lin Fengjin couldn't hide it, so he said frankly that his demonic power had a time to slow down.
The effect of flow rate.
Lord Black Mountain was also very surprised after hearing this. He said that Lin Fengjin's demonic power was unheard of. Although it seemed to be an auxiliary type and could not produce direct killing capabilities, it could actually produce miraculous effects in actual combat.
Come. It integrates offense and defense, and has extremely wide practicality.
At this time, they talked about the attack of the Ministry of Fire that day. Lin Fengjin knew that after Qin found out that his home base was attacked that day, he simply adopted the "tail-cutting" tactic and left some of his people behind.
, lead the main force to return support.
Originally, if I took advantage of the situation and pursued him, I would surely gain something, but I didn't expect that the man named Ashes who had been holding back at this time stood up and actually burst out with amazing strength in an instant, defeating the magical powers of several monsters one after another.
Therefore, we dare not push them too hard and let them go.
As soon as Lin Fengjin heard the words "defeat the magical power**", his heart moved and he couldn't help but say:
"Although the people in the Ministry of Fire are very special, they can be regarded as a type of people who can practice magical powers while holding official positions. However, at most, they only have a greatly increased immunity against magical powers. It is still difficult to say that they can completely defeat magical powers.
Not caught yet."
Lord Montenegro nodded and said:
"That's right."
Lin Fengjin said:
"That's it. Could it be that this person is an official who has been admitted to the Jin Shenlu? He is very lucky, or does he have the aura of a dragon?"
Lord Montenegro said in a deep voice:
"Originally I was not sure, but I just saw the array of demon puppets you created, Master. If I am not blind, Master's demon puppets can be exempted from the reliance of magical powers, so they are also dragon energy, right? Because of this
, so we can confirm from the familiar feeling that the ashes are indeed protected by dragon energy, and he is also a person in the fate of Ziwei."
Lin Fengjin was not surprised at all, he sighed and said:
"That ashes has always been invisible. It is not unusual for him to be an undercover agent of the royal family of the Mid-Tang Dynasty and enter the Xuanwu Gate Iron Guard. However, it is natural that the secrets involved attract the attention of these people."
Montenegro Jun said doubtfully:
"What secret?"
Lin Fengjin pondered for a while and said:
"Qin Qu, the leader of the Ministry of Fire, has mastered a big secret. He can artificially and quickly cultivate a large number of monster mounts."
Montenegro Jun said in shock:
"Is there such a thing? We monsters are no better than you humans, and our innate intelligence is not developed. We can only rely on instincts and coincidences to act in accordance with nature. Only one person in a million can become a monster! If monsters could be mass-produced
Come out, could it be that the apocalypse is coming again? Is the demon clan going to come back to rule the world?"
Lin Fengjin said:
"This is not enough. Because the method Qin Qu chose was very evil and sinister. It was to eat living people with blood. It was already similar to some vicious evil methods. The monster mounts he created also had incomplete souls and low intelligence.
It can be used as a mount, but it is much more difficult to do other things."
After hearing this, Lord Montenegro also understood. He sighed and said:
"If you do this, it will be too violent and harmful to Tianhe. Once it is leaked, you humans will be hunted down by the Qi Refiners."
Lin Fengjin said in a deep voice:
"So I think Qin Qu's only way to survive is to push all this on you and pour this dirty water on you, so that you can kill two birds with one stone."
Lin Fengjin walked around in circles for a long time, actually laying the groundwork for the above sentence.
When Lord Montenegro thought about it carefully, his face became more and more ugly, and he even felt a faint sense of indescribable violence. Obviously, if Qin went to do this, almost 90% of the people would believe a man with "killing" skills.
If the official leader of "Demon Slayer" is his duty, he will never trust a notorious monster.
Then, needless to say what happens next, it is estimated that all the major academies and powerful Qi practitioners in the Middle Tang Dynasty will flock to do this "great merit". No matter how powerful the Black Mountain Lord is, it is absolutely impossible
Get out of this vast ocean of people's war where everyone is the enemy!
"This bastard." Heishan Jun punched the table in front of him, causing bowls, chopsticks and porcelain to fly everywhere, and he gritted his teeth.
His face was already very ferocious, but now it was even more distorted.
It can be seen that Huyun Ridge is the home base that Heishanjun has worked hard for hundreds of years. Who is willing to give up easily?
But if Qin went to do this, if Black Mountain Lord didn't leave, he would obviously have to die here. Of course, this old monster who has lived for thousands of years should know the choice, otherwise he would not be alive now. But in this way
The sacrifice was too great, and the hatred for destroying the family would definitely be recorded in Qin Qu's account.
Even Ao Xi who was listening couldn't help but said:
"This person really went too far."
Black Mountain Lord said coldly:
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Ten years is not too late. I have lived for more than a thousand years and have never experienced anything. I have remembered Qin Qu. I just hope that he will not marry and have children. Otherwise, the father's debt will be repaid by the time.
My men will show no mercy at all."
At this time, it was Lin Fengjin's turn to feel a chill running down his spine. Although there are various magical powers, elixirs, and exercises in this world that can make people live longer. However, the medicine in this world is not as developed as on earth.
Lin Fengjin knows very well that appendicitis, which can be cured with a simple operation on earth, is a serious disease in this world, and tuberculosis is common even among wealthy families. The way the world deals with tuberculosis is also very
If you are negative, you can only "strengthen the body and eliminate evil" to provide strong supplements to the sick...
So, to put it all together, the average life span in this world is not necessarily longer than that on earth. There are just more old monsters that can live for hundreds of years, but their numbers are very rare. Therefore, if people want to live with
It is almost impossible to compare monsters to life span.
Montenegro Jun's move to repay his father's debt is to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron. When he has the opportunity in the future, he will torture Qin Qu's descendants and family. Wouldn't it be more painful than directly retaliating against him?
The Black Mountain Lord was also a decisive person. After Lin Fengjin pointed out the crisis, he immediately stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Without further delay, there are three caves for cunning rabbits. I have also opened a villa on the side of Sanzhu Peak. Although it is a bit remote, the surrounding barren mountains and rivers can effectively ensure privacy. I will move immediately tonight."
Upon hearing the place name "Three Pillars Peak", Ao Xi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"I remember that Sanzhu Peak is not far from the underground poisonous veins, right?"
Lord Montenegro nodded and said:
"It's only thirty miles away. I have to use external power to suppress the power of demon life in my body, so the caves I choose are all in dangerous places. It makes you laugh."
Aoxi Road:
"Young Master was originally a little curious about the underground poisonous veins here and wanted to go and see it. I also want to use this poisonous veins to temper my body. Since the old man Tiger wants to move here, we will save the trouble and do it.
It’s convenient.”
Mr. Heishan said "Oh" and said:
"This is a trivial effort, but it is not worth mentioning. However, the underground poisonous veins here in Xunzhou are born from the violent energy that seizes the world, and there is also a trace of the truth between heaven and earth. So if you have the conditions, you should go and take a look. But that
After the local snake hunt changed, it became very ferocious and vicious, but if you have Ao Jun by your side, there should be no problem."
***
Next, Lin Fengjin was also full of expectations to see the Montenegro Lord's methods, such as magical powers such as the universe in his sleeve. With a wave of his sleeve, he took away all the people, furniture, and jars. Unfortunately, this seemed to
It's something that only exists in fantasy.
When Montenegro moved, five or six giant bears turned into prototypes, and then they carried huge packages and other things on their backs. There were also a dozen little demons similar to the big horned demon and squirrel spirits accompanying them, forming a group.
A vigorous and mighty team marched into the mountains overnight.
However, as the distance increased into the mountains, Lin Fengjin could clearly feel that something was shaking and resonating in the distance, as if it was coming from deep underground.
And the most bizarre thing is that as the journey progresses, Lin Fengjin can notice a series of changes in his body, such as tinnitus, accelerated heartbeat, and elevated blood pressure. Moreover, these changes are irregular, such as
, the heartbeat accelerates sometimes twice as fast, sometimes twice as fast, and the blood pressure also fluctuates back and forth like a wave.
"What the hell is this place..." Lin Fengjin couldn't help but complained secretly in his heart.
After a while, the entire team stopped, seemingly looking for a place to rest. Although these monsters in the mountains are thick-skinned and powerful, you must know that the weight of the things they carry is also extremely heavy.
It's amazing, such as the huge boxes on the back of Black Tiger. Lin Fengjin estimates that there is something else in these boxes, and I'm afraid they can hold much more things than they seem.
This magical power of "knowing everything within one's sleeves" is not a very rare trick. For example, Xiangfan Bank has used this technique at a sales meeting. It looks like a small house from the outside, but once the guests enter, it is as spacious as
Palace-like.
Of course, the Qiankun in the sleeve looks somewhat similar to the Xumi mustard ring worn on Lin Fengjin's finger, but the biggest difference is that after using the Qiankun in the sleeve to hold something, its weight will not change.
For example, if you use the trick of holding everything in your sleeve to put a mountain in a box, then you must have the strength to bear the mountain in order to carry the box.
No matter how full and heavy the items inside the Sumeru Mustard Seed Ring are, it is still the weight of a ring! Otherwise, how could it be called the treasure of the Momen?
At this time, Lin Fengjin saw the giant bear transformed by Black Tiger King. Every time he stepped on it, it would leave half a meter of footprints in the soil on the mountain! From this, you can see how heavy it was carrying.
, so it was natural to stop and rest our shoulders after trekking for so long.
Seeing that the Black Tiger turned into a human again, he sat on the rock halfway up the mountain to drink water and rest. His drinking was a bit surprising. It was a huge leather bag that could probably fit Lin Fengjin in it. It made a gurgling sound when he picked it up.
He raised his head and drank every last drop. He drank three leather bags in a row, and then he let out a long sigh of relief.
The disciples and disciples next to him would naturally refill the leather bags. This place was probably halfway up the mountain, with a cool breeze and a very open view. Lin Fengjin walked a few steps quickly and was about to talk to Ao Xi when he suddenly looked over.
When I saw the scenery in the distance next to me, I took a deep breath and was speechless.
It turned out that in the valley twenty or thirty miles away, a little bit of fluorescent green light actually appeared. Like lights spreading all over the mountains and plains, these fluorescent green lights spread deeper into the valley, and became more shining and condensed.
The end of it is completely like a large piece of emerald. Such a magnificent and fantastic scenery is really indescribable!
"Shocking, right?" Ao Xi smiled and said: "The first time I saw the poisonous veins of heaven and earth at night, I stood there for half an hour. I thought all the stars in the world fell at this moment.
Fallen into the human world!"
At this time, Lord Montenegro said:
"It's about an hour before dawn, so we might as well wait until dawn before going in. Otherwise, if we go further, we'll encounter those ghosts that have been contaminated by underground poisonous veins. It's very difficult to deal with them in the darkness. We won't go in until dawn.
If they go in, most of them should go back to their nests."
Lin Fengjin secretly smacked his tongue in his heart. Even local snakes like Black Tiger who have lived here for hundreds of years dare not venture in. What is the concept? The ferocity of the various creatures mutated deep in the poisonous veins can be seen.
, if I come alone, wouldn’t I suffer a big loss?
At this time, Montenegro's men and nephews also took a rest, and also lit a bonfire. They all gathered around the bonfire to warm themselves up. Those who could transform into human form transformed into human form, and brought the yam, polygonatum, etc.
The finished dry food is taken out and roasted over a fire until it becomes soft and soft, and it feels extra sweet.
As for those monsters that had developed their intelligence but were still unable to transform, they also struggled and clumsily moved to the fire, then used their claws to pull dry food towards the fire to roast, and finally burned the hair on their claws.
It was burnt, and the food I ate was overcooked and dark.
After Lin Fengjin saw it, he went to help. The monster who was helped was really grateful. After everything was done, Lin Fengjin couldn't help but sigh:
"It turns out that being born as a human being is also a blessing."
Ao Xi said calmly:
"It's not unreasonable for you humans to be called the spirits of all things. First of all, human beings' innate wisdom is higher than that of all beasts. From birth, most of them can overcome the obstacle of knowledge and vision. Secondly, the human body
It also tends to be perfect, and the body structure coincides with the principles of Yin, Yang, Five Elements, and even heaven and earth."
"The things that human hands can do are countless times more powerful than the claws of wild beasts! Therefore, we monsters regard whether we can transform into human form as a very important matter. Only when we can transform into human form does it mean that we have already cultivated Taoism."
With Xiaocheng, hehe, the favored son of heaven, the soul of all things... It's really unfair."
Lin Fengjin had never imagined before that a person like Ao Xi could actually complain. It was probably because he was in front of fellow monsters that he seemed so unscrupulous. After listening to Ao Xi's words, the other monsters also
He nodded with concern, and Lin Fengjin could only smile bitterly:
"Hey, how should I put it? Being a human is not as carefree as you think. Humans are social animals. To live in this world, you have to deal with other people. Although human society is
The law of the jungle is not so obvious, but the cruelty is just as direct and profound."
"..."
Time passed quickly while talking and joking, and a bright light appeared in the sky. When the fire with white smoke was extinguished, Lin Fengjin shuddered from the coldness in the mountains.
At this time, looking at the underground poisonous veins, it was no longer as gorgeous as the Tianhe River hanging upside down. On the contrary, what appeared in front of Lin Fengjin was a rugged valley. The stones were all grey-white, and there were sparse spaces between the rocks.
There were some strange-shaped vegetation growing there, and a stream flowed out of the valley. The deeper the valley went, the sparser the plants became. It could only be described as a poor mountain and a bad river.
***
The Beppu that Montenegro opened is to the northwest of the Poison Vein, separated by two whole mountains, and it is still above the Poison Vein. It seems that he also knows that the water flowing out of the Poison Vein is not drinkable.
.Precisely because this Beppu had already been developed and began to take shape, the Black Tiger King also renovated it, and it looked quite majestic.
Lin Fengjin calculated the time at this time. He had spent a lot of time in Xunzhou. It was not long before the "Sanfu" unearthed by Qingmei Xiang, so he no longer rested at Heishangjun's other residence. He planned to meet Ao Xi directly.
Go to the ancient poisonous veins to see what happened. The Black Tiger Lord tried to persuade him to stay, but when he saw that Lin Fengjin insisted on leaving, he asked his subordinates to send him something that looked similar to a lotus pod, but it was snow-white.
Montenegro Jundao:
"The balance between heaven and earth is yin and yang, so detoxifying herbs can be found near the places where most poisonous snakes live. This is the lotus pod of mountain dry lotus. It is white and flawless in nature, but it grows in waters polluted by underground poisonous veins.
It can effectively sense the poisonous gas in the surrounding underground poisonous veins, and will change color according to the density of the surrounding poisonous gas."
"The toxins in this underground poisonous vein are generated by heaven and earth. It is very serious. It corrodes the muscles and bones. It is very vicious. The key is that it will not attack on the spot. With the lotus pods of this mountain dead lotus, you can control where it is.
If you can't go anywhere, I suggest you turn around and return as soon as the lotus pods on this mountain withered lotus turn gray."
Lin Fengjin was very moved when he saw that Lord Black Mountain was very concerned. He agreed repeatedly, and then waved goodbye to these monster friends who had fought side by side. Lin Fengjin even had a strange idea in his heart, that is, these monsters were also
Life is too difficult. If one day I can hold the power, I can try it and give them a chance to breathe.
It can be seen that monsters are actually envious of humans, so why can't the two parties have the opportunity to cooperate? For example, the power of monsters can help humans cultivate more fields and build more water conservancy projects, then they can obtain the harvest.
Some grain...
Even Lin Fengjin suddenly realized that he had already started doing this. You see, because the Ao family did not practice family planning, before meeting Lin Fengjin, the whole family was in a food shortage and could only eat half full every day.
And now after joining Lin Fengjin's caravan, he is not only worshiped as "Grandpa River God" by thousands of people, but he is also worshiped every day until he feels nauseous. Now he only drinks twenty-year-old daughter's red.
You can even have different tastes. What’s even more outrageous is that now, Mang San and Mang Wu, who were the first to join Lin Fengjin’s fleet, can already clearly tell the subtle differences between Huaiyang cuisine and Shandong cuisine.
Already....
While thinking wildly, Lin Fengjin, under the leadership of Ao Xi, approached the mountain stream flowing from the ancient poisonous veins. The water of this mountain stream looked quite clear and lovely, but Lin Fengjin bent down.
When I went down, my fingertips touched the stream, and I felt a slight sting, as if I was slightly pricked by a needle.
There are still some plants and trees growing tenaciously on both sides of the stream, but the branches and leaves of these plants give people a feeling of sluggishness. They all look malnourished and wilted, but they are still growing tenaciously. Lin Fengjin
His eyes were already very sharp, and he discovered that there were actually signs of gnawing on the leaves of these plants. He suddenly became even more shocked:
Is there still a food chain in such a ghost place? Grass and trees grow tenaciously. Insects such as locusts eat the grass and trees. Birds or frogs eat insects, and the rest are snakes, mongooses, foxes and the like.
You can eat frogs or birds... (To be continued...)
