Ask the Mirror Chapter 37: Snake catching

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

The weather was overcast and the temperature was much lower yesterday. When the strong wind blowing from the north roars along the long canyon, and the thick clouds and mist flow with it, Yu Ci always thinks that he is on the side of a magnificent river, watching the gray-white river waves stacking one after another. , rush forward, and your mood will suddenly become relaxed and open. Some small depressed thoughts will also be washed away here.

When a person concentrates on doing one thing, no matter what the result is, time always flies by.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Ci has been staying in the Sky Rift Valley for less than half a month. The weather is getting worse and worse. Yu Ci suspects that the first snow of this year may fall at any time.

The work of collecting fish and dragon grass has come to a standstill, or in other words, it has not been opened at all in the past half month.

Only at this time, Yu Ci will understand how lucky he was to find such a large medicinal field dedicated to shrimp grass and fish dragon grass. That is simply something that can be encountered but cannot be sought.

In the Sky Rift Valley, the shrimp grass has inevitably withered. This strange herb will temporarily transfer their vitality to the parasitic tree, leaving only dry grass stems without any medicinal value. It will take until spring next year to recover.

At this time, it is relatively easy to find parasitic sites for shrimp grass. Not to mention evergreen trees, those tree species that are deciduous trees and whose leaves fall very late are likely to be the places where this kind of herb is parasitic. . Experienced herb collectors will mark these trees in the hope of a big harvest in the coming spring.

Yu Ci is doing the same thing, but he focuses on places with signs of large-scale parasitism. Only in these places can natural fish and dragon grass be born to exchange for good deeds for him.

Nothing will be known until spring next year.

He is destined to spend this winter in the Sky Rift Valley.

This wave of strong wind passed by, pushing the river of clouds and mist away. Yu Ci breathed out and slid down the cliff. Before the speed was about to exceed the warning line, he clung to the nearly dry branch at hand. The branches groaned under the strain.

Yu Ci did not move. He had already confirmed the target's location before watching the clouds and waves. Hidden in the crevice of the cliff ten feet away is a grey-brown "Tibetan skin". This kind of venomous snake is famous in the Sky Rift Valley. It has a small protrusion on the top of its triangular head. It is very eye-catching. It does not hibernate and is highly aggressive. After discovering the prey, they mainly attack by surprise. Even if it is a giant elephant-like beast, if it is bitten, it will fall to death immediately, which is very scary.

However, as Yu Ci stared at the venomous snake, what he was thinking about was not the danger, but the reward: "'Tibetan skin' snake sheds, thirty skills!"

Just as he said to Zhou Laodao, it is not just the fish dragon grass that can be exchanged for good deeds. The Lichen Sect monks publish a large amount of good news about collecting medicinal herbs and minerals every year, many of which are produced near the Sky Rift Valley. Although most of these scattered trinkets are only worth one, two, three, or five good deeds, and very few are worth more than ten, when collected together, they can also bring in a lot of income - as long as they can be found.

"Zangpi" is an example.

"Zangpi" has a long life. It is said that long-lived people can live for more than three hundred years, and the secret to his longevity is thought to be his weird habits. This snake sheds its skin twice a year. After it sheds its skin, the snake buries the shed skin in the ground, and then digs it out and eats it when it sheds its skin next time. It is said that it accumulates energy to complete the harvest. The next step is to shed the skin, and so on, every year.

For this reason, the sloughs shed by this snake also have great medicinal value, especially those of the "old Tibetan skin" that has grown for more than two hundred years. Very high value. On the banner of Tongde Hall, there is a mountain monk who collects such "old snake sloughs" in exchange for thirty good deeds. In terms of unit price, it is higher than the natural fish dragon grass. It is already the highest reward collected by Yu Ci. News of good deeds.

The "old Tibetan skin" in front of Yu Ci has a lifespan of at least 250 years. It is so cunning that when it sheds its skin, it actually ran from the depth of 2,000 feet where it usually moves to only a few meters away from the top of the valley. In this rock gap of more than a hundred feet, it can be guaranteed that no natural enemies can find its traces.

Unfortunately, its luck is very bad, because its every move has long been under the surveillance of the "Zhao Shen Tu" - Yu Ci has calculated that it is the time for the "Tibetan Skin" to shed its skin, so he used the photo early to Shentu observed the area where it lived and easily discovered this unlucky guy who was climbing up abnormally. From that moment on, the fate of this "old Tibetan skin" was doomed.

"Lao Zangpi" has found the area where the shed skin is buried. He twisted his body and turned over the soil with the small protrusion on his head. He dug half a foot deep and finally saw the snake shed that had turned dark black in color. Yu Ci stared at the display on the Illuminating Chart and silently calculated:

"Including snake sloughing, I have accumulated 140 skills. The harvest is good, but I have almost found everything on the surface, and there may not be such an opportunity later!"

With a sigh, Yu Ci started. Ten feet away, it only touched the cliff and then passed by. "Zangpi" was known to be alert and sensitive, but this time, it only had time to twist its body before it was struck by the sword energy coming from the rock gap. One and a half.

Ignoring the two struggling snake bodies, Yu Ci took out the jade medicine **** given by Ye Tu and expanded the rock gap that was only **** wide. After several swishing sounds, the gap in the rock expanded to a foot wide. Yu Ci used a **** to dig in, preparing to pull out the snake.

At this moment, he frowned, and the illuminating picture in front of him suddenly disappeared. A little later, the sound of flapping wings came from the clouds above his head.

"So fast!" This was Yu Ci's first thought.

"It's this thing again!" This is the second one.

"Trouble is coming."

When this thought came to mind, a scream came from above: "My snake!"

Unexpectedly, the scream was still childish, which surprised Yu Ci. When he looked up, the air from the flapping wings had hit his face, and the voice shouted again: "You pay for my snake!"

There was a cry in his voice.

He had actually seen the big bird hovering above Yu Ci's head. It was the kind of blood eagle that lived in the valley. It had a ferocious temperament and was quite powerful. But the blood eagle in front of him has obviously been tamed. In fact, it is the blood eagle itself, and Yu Ci is no stranger to it.

Before and after he arrived at the Sky Rift Valley, a total of two raptors controlled by humans monitored him from a distance. At one end was the goshawk that "greeted" him, and at the other end was the blood eagle in front of him. But today, this guy is not here to monitor. There are people sitting on it, and there is more than one person.

When the blood eagle circled for the second time, the person above jumped down. One big and one small, the big one holding the small one, their bodies seemed to be weightless, falling down and landing on a protruding rock two feet away.

Yu looked at the visitor lovingly. The older man had an ordinary face and was not tall. He looked to be in his thirties or forties. He looked very capable. Yu Ci already knew that this man had superb cultivation and was far above him. He was already an intermediate level psychic. Even at the upper level, that is to say, it has become a Yin Shen.

The reason for this positive judgment is that he had seen the light waves spreading in this person's skull in the Illumination Picture before, which was a sign of Yin Shen's achievement. This experience was gained from the two stewards of Bairi Mansion, Lu Yang and Kuang Zheng, and was later confirmed through a lot of practice in Zhixin Guan.

To know whether the Yin Shen is successful or not, the difference between them is as big as the sky. Before you become a Yin God, you still have to cultivate with all your strength. Over the years, your cultivation will deepen little by little; but once you become a Yin God, the staggering potential of the hidden consciousness level in the soul will be quickly stimulated, making people's cultivation progress by leaps and bounds. It doesn't take long to leave the monks who haven't condensed their Yinshen far behind.

Based on his recent experience, Yu Ci dared to say that he had more than a 70% chance of winning against a monk who had not yet condensed his Yin spirit. But when it comes to characters who are at the intermediate level of psychic ability and above, he is not at all sure.

He looks at others, and others look at him. The two looked at each other, and the visitor raised his hand:

"This fellow Taoist, please."

The person who came here looked rough, but his words were kind and not annoying. Yu Ci responded with a smile: "I am a fellow Taoist from Wanling Sect, please."

After being robbed, the visitor was stunned. He immediately knew that Yu Ci was not easy to mess with, so he simply greeted him again: "Wanlingmen Chengrong, may I ask your friend's surname?"

"I don't dare. Sanren Yu Ci has seen Taoist friends before."

Although he was polite, Yu Ci was still a little bit murmuring in his heart. When he inquired about the news earlier, the name Cheng Rong was not only familiar but also familiar. His status in Wanling Sect is similar to that of Kuang Zheng and other real power officials in Bairi Mansion, and his status is quite high.

If such a person comes forward in person, it is not a trouble, but a trouble. What's more, there was a little guy next to him, glaring at him righteously?

The so-called little guy is actually a pretty girl with braided hair. She is only 3 years old. She is wearing a lake-green shirt that makes her complexion look like suet. At this time, her paint-like eyes were filled with mist, making her look even more adorable.

Yu Ci laughed when she saw it: "Then this is..."

"This is..."

"Shi Xin!"

The little girl doesn’t want anyone else to do it for her, she responds loudly. Then, she couldn't wait to declare Yu Ci's crime: "You killed my snake, you pay me!"

"Your snake? Did you raise it?" Before figuring out Cheng Rong's purpose, Yu Ci didn't mind entangled with the little girl for a while. He asked back with interest, "I didn't see a collar on it."

"This is my snake!"

The little girl Shijia emphasized again, quite confidently: "I placed a 'soul-retracting curse' on this 'Tibetan skin'. I wanted to wait for it to lead me to dig up snake sloughs, but you killed me indiscriminately. Yes, pay me!”

"Nine girls, don't be rude to your elders."

Cheng Rong stopped Shi Xin's entanglement and turned to Yu Ci with a smile: "This is the granddaughter of my sect leader. She is the ninth. She is used to being pampered, so she doesn't know how big or small she is. Fellow Taoist, don't be surprised. ”

After being scolded, the little girl became dejected and stopped talking. When Yu Ci heard the little girl announce her name earlier, he guessed that she must have an extraordinary background. Now that he confirmed it, he laughed and was also a little surprised. The chief steward of Bairi Mansion, Lu Yang, probably has a higher status in the manor than Cheng Rong does in Wanling Sect, but when facing Jin Huan's grandnephew, he is not as stern and stern as Cheng Rong. close.

He is also an important minister with a foreign surname. The difference is probably due to his upbringing. On the other hand, Chengrong's identity may also be different from ordinary people.

I would like to use this chapter to wish the little girl success in her studies and improvement in her painting skills.
