Ask the Mirror Chapter 14: Qicao
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
Skylight slowly filled the clouds and mist, and the sky rift valley lit up. The scope of the heaven and earth reflected by the Illuminating God Picture unknowingly expanded to the limit of fifty miles, which made Yu Ci very happy. This proved that it was not a permanent decline, but maybe just a unique event in the Sky Rift Valley. Accidental changes occur only under circumstances.
Having been awake all night and in a state of high tension, Yu Ci's eyes were bloodshot but her spirit was extremely exciting. A quarter of an hour ago, those ferocious beasts that traveled at night were silent. Now, it was his time to move.
Collecting shrimp grass is a hard job, even if Yu Ci has improved his cultivation and shrimp grass can be found everywhere. After working hard all morning, Yu Ci had only picked a few hundred roots when the summer heat affected the place through the layers of clouds and mist. However, the birds and beasts in the valley passed by three or five times, and Yu Ci had to hide in advance. Hard.
After working for more than an hour, the courage Yu Ci cultivated during the night was almost completely lost in this boring and boring work. He began to understand why the monks in Bairi Mansion, all of them talented, still hired ordinary people to do this work...
Doing this kind of **** thing all day long, and still building a **** and growing a bird!
At this time, there was another fishy smell in the clouds. He sighed, fell down, and rushed towards the hiding place that had been arranged.
As soon as they took cover, there was the sound of flapping wings above their heads. Yu Ci glanced outside, and what landed on the **** was a kind of flesh-winged flying ape he had seen yesterday. Although it had flesh wings, it could only glide briefly. It usually lived in the upper areas of the valley. Compared with The terrifying beasts that impressed him were not too difficult to deal with.
This flying ape looks injured, its blue-grey fur is stained with blood, and its expression is dispirited, and it seems to have a strong purpose in coming here. After landing, it did not look around, but directly found a place on the ground, stretched out its forelimbs, and dug in the ground.
There happened to be a blank area where no shrimp grass grew. Yu Ci was not afraid of the beast destroying the herbs, but he had a strong curiosity. From this angle, he couldn't see the specific situation under Fei Yuan's claws, so he simply used the divine map to create a perspective that was almost exactly the same as Fei Yuan's to see what this guy was doing.
The Flying Monkey's claws were sharp, and he quickly dug several feet deep, revealing the pine roots underneath. The guy separated the rhizomes, grabbed an earthworm-like thing with great skill, and stuffed it in without caring about the soil still attached to it. In his mouth, he chewed it a few times and then swallowed it.
Perhaps this "earthworm" really has medicinal effects. After swallowing this thing, the flying ape's spirit became high. He screamed, opened his fleshy wings, and glided away with the help of a strong wind.
Yu Ci was stunned. Some time ago, he used the Illuminating Map to observe the surrounding terrain, which was very detailed. Of course he also saw this kind of "earthworm", and he didn't pay attention to it at the time. However, looking at the state of this "earthworm" on Fei Yuan's fingertips, he discovered that, It was definitely not an "earthworm", or even a living thing, but a medicinal herb that looked very much like a worm.
He has seen Cordyceps sinensis used as medicine, but it is still very different from this thing. This grass stem is too lifelike. In addition to not twisting, the whole body looks very similar to a reptile such as an earthworm. There is even a layer of fine scales on its surface, emitting a delicate luster that only living things can possess.
If you zoom in a few times and say that this thing is a long snake or an eel, Yu Ci might also believe it.
Uh, wait, eel... fish?
He still remembered what the drunken herbal picker said the day before yesterday: Bai Ri Mansion can make a potion in which a large amount of shrimp grass is soaked, and the one in it is the best in quality and the most intact. , it is possible to be soaked alive. This soaked shrimp grass will absorb all the vitality of its kind into itself and turn into a new medicinal herb. That kind of herb is called...
Ichthyosaur grass!
Yu Ci jumped out of his hiding place and ran to the soil dug by the flying ape. He looked carefully, but there was only one tree nearby. It was chewed by the flying ape and nothing remained.
Of course Yu Ci couldn't cut out the grass stem from the belly of the flying ape who was far away, but he had a divine map. In the blue light waves, the terrain around the **** was presented to him in the most detailed and complete way.
After searching carefully, he soon found something. There are none on the slope, but there are really seven or eight plants under the surrounding cliffs. And even farther away, at about the same depth level and about four miles away, he even found another place where shrimp grass grows. There were three or five similar medicinal herbs there.
However, these herbs all grow in deeper rock crevices, and some are directly locked deep into the rock formations several feet thick. This is normal. If this herb had excellent medicinal effects, those plants growing in the open would have been dug up by the creatures in the valley. Of course, only the plants that were hidden deeper would survive.
Yu Ci let out a long sigh. He had to thank the Illuminating Bronze Mirror and the Illuminating Picture. Otherwise, even if these plants were under his feet, he would not be able to find them, let alone confirm their exact location. It's just that it will take a lot of hard work to dig them out.
With a sigh, he directly pulled out the Nine Sun Talisman Sword. If it was really a fish dragon grass, what would the little energy consumed count?
The sun sets and the moon rises, the sun rises and the moon sets, and nearly twenty hours pass in the blink of an eye. During this period, Yu Ci tried his best to dig out deep pits one after another on the iron-hard cliffs and dig out the herbs growing in them.
This is not an easy task. The surrounding cliffs are as hard as iron, making it difficult to get started. The roots inside are tangled with many threads. If you are not careful, you will be damaged. In a day and a half, Yu Ci Even if he completely gave up on the shrimp grass and went all out, he could only take out eight herbs near the slope. As for the newly discovered spot four miles away, he hadn't had time to take action yet.
However, during the excavation process, he discovered a characteristic of medicinal herbs: in the space around half an acre of the place where this grass grows, there must be no shrimp grass, but the rest of the grass and trees can grow freely. . Based on the news I heard earlier, this phenomenon may be caused by this grass devouring the vitality of other shrimp grasses to enrich itself.
Looking at it this way, we are 30% more certain that this medicinal herb is Ichthyosaurus.
Yu Ci did not mix the medicinal herbs with the shrimp beetle grass. Instead, he specially freed up Taoist Yan's stone box and carefully placed the eight medicinal herbs in it.
By the time these things were done, the area near the **** was already in a mess. Yu Ci was hammering away at the stone wall during this period, and the sound was indeed louder, attracting the attention of many ferocious beasts. After thinking about it, he simply left the remaining thousands of shrimp beetles and temporarily moved them four miles away. That newly discovered herb collection spot was sheltered from the limelight.
The new herb collection point is much more difficult than on the slope, and there is no reliable place to borrow strength. It was Yu Ci who had learned a lot about digging into the cliff over the past few days. He used a large crack in the cliff to carve out a barely accessible recess, and then he had a place to stay.
But then again, this place is more secluded than on the slope.
The quality of the shrimp beetroot here is actually not very good, but Yu Ci is more concerned about the herb that looks like fish dragon grass. He took the trouble to check it again with the Zhaoshen Diagram, confirming the positions one by one. Just as he was about to start work, he suddenly discovered that at the side corners of the Zhaoshen Diagram, the changes in light and shadow were obviously unusual.
He looked intently and saw an acquaintance.
When the man's face clearly appeared in the picture, Yu Ci took a sip: Bald thief!
In Zhaoshentu, it was the monk who plotted against him two days ago, but was counterattacked by him. Yu Ci still doesn't know his name. He only calls him "Venomous Snake" and calls him "Venomous Snake Monk".
The monk did not know that in the distant depths of the Sky Rift Valley, someone was looking at him unscrupulously and uttering evil words. Now, he was hurting people again, but this time he had the upper hand.
His opponent was a young man in a white shirt. He acted clumsily and had no ability to fight back. But whenever he was in danger, a golden light would fly around his body. The poisonous snake monk seemed to have He was very afraid of this golden light, so he slowed down his hands to let the young man escape.
The two chased them from the cliff to the bottom, and then fought on the cliff of the Sky Rift Valley. At this time, their feet were dangling thousands of feet in the air. If they made a mistake, they would be doomed. This not only tested their cultivation, but also their courage. The young man couldn't resist the Viper Monk's sophistication. He was timid at first. Unexpectedly, the monk suddenly waved his sleeves, and suddenly five or six green starlights flew towards his face.
The young man was obviously shocked. His body was already numb. He instinctively shrank back, but he forgot that he was already on top of the cliff. He stepped on the air and screamed, falling sharply downwards. Mang also missed the mark.
All of this was under the control of the Venomous Snake Monk. The monk hissed, waved his sleeves, and a few pale green starlights were sucked up by his long whale, and then retracted, and his figure moved along the cliff. He slid down and grabbed the young man's chest with his hands, seemingly intending to capture him alive.
At this moment, the young man got the fierce energy from nowhere and shouted. The golden light that circled the body appeared again, turned into a rainbow, and chopped off the head. The monk was also frightened. His grasp turned into a chop, and he hit the young man's chest hard with his palm. With a little help, he let it go to the side. The golden light could not be contained, and with a clang, it penetrated deeply into the cliff. , revealed its true form, but it was a golden knife about two feet long.
Although the monk gave way quickly, a **** had been torn open on his face by the sword energy, and it was **** and oozing. But the monk was overjoyed and ignored the young man. He rushed forward and pulled out the golden knife. He held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time. Then he suddenly laughed up to the sky. No sound could be heard from the picture, but the image was enough to prove that A golden sword must be a great treasure.
Yu Ci made a "poof" sound, looking down on the behavior of the poisonous snake monk, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the young man who fell into the clouds. In fact, the young man's cultivation level is not much worse than that of the monk, but he is timid. He can't use 30% of his 100% effort, and he relies too much on the golden sword, so he loses the sword and loses his life... Huh?
It appeared on the Illumination Map that after the young man fell, he fell rapidly for a period of time, but after falling more than a hundred feet, the speed suddenly slowed down, like a weightless leaf, falling slowly. go.
At first, Yu Ci thought it was the young man pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but soon he discovered that the man had really passed out. The reason for this situation seems to be that the robe he wears is also a valuable treasure, and he protects the Lord on his own initiative. However, in such a dangerous place as the Sky Rift Valley, even if this person cannot fall to death, sooner or later he will be eaten alive by the fierce birds and beasts around him.
Looking at this situation, Yu Ci thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and rushed out of the depression where he was hiding.
"That's all, it's your blessing!"
Yu Ci is not a good person. If the young man did not have the protective clothing and fell directly from a height of ten thousand feet, with such force, even a **** would be crushed into a meat pie. At that time, the young man would fall from above his head. In the past, he didn't know how to stretch out his hand; but the situation is different now. He has the Illuminating Map and can run ten miles away in the Sky Rift Valley. He only breaks out in a sweat, but he can save a life. Why not do it? ?
Half an hour later, Yu Ci carried the still unconscious young man back to the **** where he had stayed earlier. This was the only serious place to stay nearby.
He slapped the young man to the ground unceremoniously. This was not a gentle move. The young man groaned even in his coma. From Yu Ci's point of view, this young man was a little too young. Although his face was filled with the fear of death, it could be seen that he was still childish, no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. At this age, he can only be called a teenager.
Omitting his appalling actual combat ability, just looking at his cultivation, this age is enough for Yu Ci to bang his head against the wall. However, what really makes Yu Ci unbearable is:
"This kid... was simply stunned by fright!"
