Chapter 2: A Good Sky-Swallowing Beast
Chapter 2: What a Sky-Swallowing Beast
The old man was very doubtful whether what he ate was Qi Condensing Grass. Maybe he really ate the wrong thing?
Tian Lin also doubted whether what he ate was Qi Condensing Grass. After all, he still remembered clearly the words "beef buns" that appeared on the cow dung.
But if what I ate was not Qi Condensing Grass, why didn’t I get poisoned? Why did I feel that my strength increased?
The old man scratched the itch all night and felt weak the next day.
"You little brat, go now. We are almost at Yaoyue Sect. You can't give up and don't care about my life or death."
The old man said weakly, looking at the window with wooden railings, trying to look at the sky outside through the window.
"Okay, you stay here."
Tian Lin stood up, but before he took two steps, someone grabbed his ankle.
The old man was crying and saying under his crotch: "You little bastard, are you really going to leave me here alone?"
He said: "Have you forgotten that we supported each other along the way. Have you forgotten that we were bullied by them together, but we held each other for warmth?"
Tian Lin pulled his foot out of the old man's hand and walked out of the woodshed.
Soon, the old man's hoarse voice could be heard from the woodshed: "Stinky boy, I can't live without you now. How can I live without you?"
Tian Linzhen couldn't help it anymore, so he stopped and shouted, "Please be kind and keep your voice down so as not to attract the wolves. If the two of us encounter a wolf in this wilderness, we will die without knowing how."
But the old man continued to cry, so Tian Lin simply ignored him.
He picked up his bamboo pole and walked to the pile of cow dung at the door again.
[Broken beef buns: can effectively replenish physical strength and relieve hunger, can be used with confidence]
Tian Lin looked at the cow dung in amazement.
Whether what is in front of you is beef buns or cow dung seems to be a philosophical question.
Tian Lin thought about it for a long time, looked at it for a long time, but in the end he lacked the courage to eat it.
He poked the bamboo pole into the cow dung and then walked towards the hillside again.
Cordyceps is not uncommon in the wilderness, because not only do people not eat it, but even animals such as cows, sheep, and rabbits avoid it.
Tian Lin is now basically certain that what he eats is Cordyceps sinensis. This is based on the experience of his predecessor and his trust in the old man's decades of experience.
He also couldn't understand why he was fine after eating Cordyceps, but the old man would be poisoned after eating it.
Probably because the 'hint' said it was Qi Condensing Grass, so if you eat it yourself, it will produce the effects of Qi Condensing Grass.
Just like that pile of cow dung, the prompt shows that it is "beef buns", and eating it yourself is equivalent to eating beef buns.
But the old man didn't have such a "hint" of his own, so Cordyceps sinensis was just Cordyceps sinensis to him, and cow dung was just cow dung to him.
Hey, why do I always think about cow dung?
Maybe I'm really hungry.
Tian Lin spent the whole morning collecting wild vegetables.
He ate some Cordyceps sinensis until he was half full, and then he found a stream.
Tian Lin, who had not had water for a day and a night, took a sip of the stream water. The sweet and clear stream water refreshed him.
He stood on the shore again, brushed his messy hair off his forehead in the stream water, and looked at his dirty reflection in the water.
"If I don't seek immortality, where should I go? I don't know anyone in this world, and my previous incarnation left my hometown seven or eight years ago."
Tian Lin was confused for a while, then suddenly smiled at himself on the water: "Then let's try to seek immortality. There is no shortage of insects and grass in the mountains anyway. I don't have to worry about starving to death anymore."
After he finished speaking, he washed his face with stream water and scooped up some water from the bamboo tube hanging around his waist.
[Young Sky-Swallowing Demon: Sky-Swallowing Demon, eats flying birds and beasts, has the ability to swallow the sky and spit out the earth, is an ancient spiritual beast. Its meat can strengthen the body, and its blood can cleanse the tendons and marrow. ]
Looking at the prompts and the tadpoles in the bamboo tube, Tian Lin was silent. Is this an ancient spiritual beast?
Can this thing cleanse your bones and marrow?
It can swallow a chicken - no, it can't even swallow that!
Tian Lin was silent for a while. This time he did not hesitate and swallowed the tadpole along with the water without frowning.
After a while, Tian Lin didn't feel anything unusual.
"Maybe the meat is too small, after all, not enough to fill the gaps between teeth."
He looked into the stream again and this time caught a dozen tadpoles.
"It seems to have some effect. Is it my illusion?"
Tian Lin was never able to catch tadpoles again, but no matter whether it was useful or not, how could such a small amount of meat be of much use?
What he actually wanted to catch was the adult version of the Sky-Swallowing Beast, commonly known as the Toad.
But things did not go as planned, and the tadpole's mother did not let Tian Lin succeed.
Tian Lin didn't know why some things could display entries but some couldn't.
He deliberately looked at some plants and rocks and found that they did not generate any entries.
After a quick bath, Tian Lin returned with the washed wild vegetables and bamboo tubes. He had no intention of abandoning the old man.
Tian Lin trusted the non-threatening old man more than the team he was going to catch up with and join.
Although everyone leaves home to seek immortality, those who seek immortality are different after all.
"Bastard, I knew you wouldn't abandon me."
The old man leaned against the wall, his face full of trust in Tian Lin.
"Can you loosen my sleeves? I can't run away."
The old man didn't let go and opened his mouth: "Feed me."
"Get out of the way, put away your two big yellow teeth, eat early and rest early, because we have to travel tomorrow."
There are actually quite a lot of wild vegetables, but the old man is reluctant to eat them too quickly.
He picked up a leaf and put it in his mouth. Although the leaf was bitter, it tasted extra sweet.
Without the worry of being abandoned and the fear of hunger, the old man recovered a lot of his spirits.
He boasted to Tian Lin, "My father became a Huahualang when he was 25 and went out to seek immortality, leaving me and my mother at home. I am more promising than my father. I became a Huahualang right after I got married at the age of 17. I have traveled almost all over the country of Zhao."
He was about to brag but was interrupted by Tian Lin, who mocked him, "You and your father are really promising. You don't even want a wife or children. Why are you running away to seek help from a god? Your mother was unlucky to have met you. She raised you with great difficulty, but you just ran away and left your wife behind."
Tian Lin asked him: "After so many years, you are now over 70 years old, right? Have you prayed for immortality?"
The old man was stunned and could no longer put the vegetable leaves in his hand into his mouth.
Tian Lin didn't want to talk to him more at this time, so he left the house alone.
After a while, sobbing sounds were heard in the room.
Tian Lin listened to the sobbing and couldn't help but smile with glee.
Fortunately, my previous incarnation did not abandon his family just because he wanted to become an immortal.
He left home because he was left alone in the village after his mother died.
His father abandoned him and his mother when he was very young and went out to seek immortality, and never came back.
