Chapter 281 Taiyun City, Scrophularia, Bully
Chapter 281 Taiyun City, Scrophularia, Bully
After Fu Shaoping woke up, he lay in bed for more than half a month. When he was able to get out of bed and walk, Old Man Tian followed him to the mountains to collect herbs.
Come out of the cabin.
What you see in front of you are wooden houses standing on the mountain, high and low, in an orderly manner. Looking over, you will find that there is a long wooden rack in front of every house, and the rack is filled with various herbs.
The entire Taiyun Valley apparently makes a living by collecting herbs.
Although Fu Shaoping was unable to summon magical powers, he was a green wood spirit body, and his physical fitness was naturally much better than that of Old Man Tian. After the other party climbed up the hillside and came out of the valley, he was panting and wanted to stop to rest.
Old Man Tian was pleased to see that Fu Shaoping was calm and composed, as if he was out for a picnic. Although he could not make any money from the other family, it was always good to have a strong laborer at home, especially when it was almost time to pay the annual tribute.
Think of this.
Old man Tian let out a long sigh.
Upon seeing this, Fu Shaoping immediately said:
"Uncle Tian, what are you worried about? Is there anything I can help you with?"
He wanted to get some information out of Old Man Tian.
For now.
All he knew was that he lived in a canyon in the Taiyun Mountains.
Old Man Tian glanced at Fu Shaoping's tall and strong figure, his eyes lit up and he said:
"If you are willing, I can certainly help. In another month, our Taiyun Valley will transport tribute to Taiyun City, which is the medicinal herbs we picked. From our valley to Taiyun City, we need to pass through the Mogou River. There are low-level monsters lurking in the Mogou River. In previous years, many people who escorted the tribute died in the Mogou River."
Although Old Man Tian is vicious in his words.
But he didn't want to lie to Fu Shaoping, so he told him everything honestly.
Seeing that Fu Shaoping had no intention of backing down, he was delighted:
"Are you willing to make a trip for my father and me?"
"Miss Runzhi saved my life, so Shao Ping is naturally willing. Uncle Tian, can you tell me more about Taiyun City? I don't seem to have heard of this name."
When Old Man Tian heard that Fu Shaoping was willing to take risks for them, he smiled happily. Of course, he knew the answer but kept silent:
"Speaking of Taiyun City, it has to be traced back to ten thousand years ago."
"Ten thousand years ago, our place was still ruled by the human race. However, due to the serious internal strife among the human race, many high-level cultivators were lost. This gave the demons an opportunity to capture cities and territories along the way, and finally almost seized the human race's imperial capital."
"Although the human race later united and rose up in resistance"
"But the demon race has already become powerful, and the human race can only retreat to this tiny place in the end."
"Taiyun City is one of the five remaining cities of our human race. It is said that there are high-level monks who can fly on the wind guarding the city, but we have never seen one."
Fu Shaoping's pupils shrank.
It turns out that the Demon Realm is not populated only by demons, but humans were the masters here in the beginning.
He asked a few more questions.
But Old Man Tian had only been to Taiyun City in his life, and he would return to Taiyun Valley immediately after delivering the herbs. He knew very little, and Fu Shaoping was unable to ask anything else.
He looked up at the mountains in front of him.
nowadays.
His top priority is to find a way to restore his magic power, or it would be good to be able to communicate with the chaotic space. A trip to Jinshan might bring him some gains.
Arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Old Man Tian took out a pill from his trouser pocket and handed it to Fu Shaoping:
"Swallow this evil pill."
Fu Shaoping took it, sniffed it, and an unpleasant smell hit his nose.
Seeing Fu Shaoping's disgusted look, Old Man Tian said angrily:
"This Demon Pill is a good thing. After taking it, even low-level demon soldiers within a range of thirty feet can't smell our breath. Hurry up and swallow it. You may encounter demon soldiers when you go up the mountain."
When Fu Shaoping saw that Old Man Tian felt nothing unusual after taking the medicine, he also swallowed it. It tasted just like Coptis chinensis, extremely bitter.
Old Man Tian led the way in front.
Arrived at a cliff.
He pointed downwards and whispered:
"See? There is a cave behind the raised stone slab on the cliff. There is a figwort in the cave. I will help you pull the rope from above, and you can go down and pick the figwort."
talking.
Old Man Tian took out the hemp rope hidden in the grass.
The rope is very long.
After tying a knot around Fu Shaoping's waist, the other end was tied to a pine tree on the cliff. Old Man Tian grabbed the rope with both hands and said to Fu Shaoping:
"Hurry up, if we encounter the demon soldiers it will be bad. This Xuanshen is a designated tribute item. Without it, the three of us will be driven out of Taiyun Valley. We will not survive if we leave Taiyun Valley."
So Old Man Tian was very nervous.
I was afraid that something might go wrong while picking Scrophularia.
Fu Shaoping stretched his legs and body, then grabbed the rope with both hands and retreated step by step down the cliff.
When they arrived at the huge rock that Old Man Tian mentioned, they really saw the cave hidden behind the rock. He immediately made a gesture to Old Man Tian, and Old Man Tian let out the rope. Fu Shaoping jumped lightly and jumped into the cave.
Different from outside.
The temperature in the cave is very humid.
Fu Shaoping glanced at the ground and found traces of animals crawling:
"Oops!"
It should be that the mature Scrophularia attracted the other monsters.
Fu Shaoping glanced around, picked up a sharp stone as a weapon, and walked forward, crouching down, taking about ten steps into the cave.
"sizzle"
There was a sound of a snake's tongue flickering.
Take a closer look.
However, he saw a magic snake entwined behind a green Scrophularia ningpoensis. The reason why it was called a magic snake was because it exuded the familiar demon-suppressing aura from its body.
but.
This demon snake is of a low level.
The initial stage of the first level of cultivation is equivalent to the initial stage of the Body Tempering Realm.
"sizzle"
When the demon snake saw Fu Shaoping approaching, it immediately stood up and moved its tongue to declare its sovereignty.
Fu Shaoping's mind raced, and while pretending to retreat, he suddenly touched the ground and nimbly jumped to the left wall. At the same time, he shot the stone in his hand very quickly and accurately at the seven inches of the demon snake.
"Fizz!"
The demon snake's tail twitched violently.
The stones shattered with a sound.
When the demon snake saw that Fu Shaoping had no magic power, a hint of human contempt appeared in its eyes. Without waiting for Fu Shaoping to attack again, it immediately jumped up and took the initiative to attack.
"It's now!"
At the moment the magic snake jumped up.
Fu Shaoping did not retreat but advanced instead.
He suddenly pulled the hemp rope around his waist, and the rope was swung out like a flying sword. It rolled back in the air at an extremely fast speed and just happened to wrap around the waist of the magic snake.
"Fizz!"
The demon snake was startled.
He immediately twitched his tail to break the hemp rope.
Otherwise.
It's too late.
But then a dazzling white light appeared, and a dagger was inserted heavily into its vital point. It was the dagger that Tian Runzhi left for Fu Shaoping for self-defense before going out.
"sizzle"
The demon snake is only at the early stage of the first stage.
Compared with ordinary people, they are just a little stronger.
Bang.
The demon snake fell to the ground.
Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief and wrapped the hemp rope around his waist again. At the same time, he calmed down and carefully sensed whether there would be any changes in his sea of consciousness.
Although the demon snake is only in the early stage of the first stage.
But it is a monster after all.
Kill the monster. Before that, the first fate attribute of the Xuanming Treasure Mirror will increase points.
After a while.
Fu Shaoping did not sense the changes in his sea of consciousness: "Could it be that the Mysterious Fate Treasure Mirror has really disappeared?"
But he's not dead yet.
It is impossible for the treasure mirror to leave him.
This is bound to oneself.
When Fu Shaoping turned around in disappointment to dig up the Scrophularia, an energy imperceptible to the naked eye floated up from the demon snake's corpse on the ground and sank into Fu Shaoping's body.
just.
Without his spiritual consciousness and magic power, Fu Shaoping, who had become an ordinary person, did not realize it.
Scrophularia has a twenty-year history of medicinal use.
Fu Shaoping looked at the Gentiana in his hand and swallowed. If he took the Gentiana at this time, would his magic power be restored?
but.
He quickly dismissed the idea.
Xuanshen is a first-grade, low-quality spiritual object. It has little effect on him. If Tian Runzhi and his daughter take this Xuanshen, they will have nothing to offer as tribute, and the three of them will be kicked out.
He is a mortal now.
How can we survive in the wilderness where evil soldiers are everywhere?
After putting the Scrophularia ningpoensis into the sack, Fu Shaoping pulled the hemp rope nine times, signaling to Old Man Tian that he could collect the rope.
Climb up from the cliff.
Fu Shaoping, who had not yet recovered from a serious illness, was a little overwhelmed. He sat down on the stone pier, panting. Old Man Tian said:
"Thank you for your hard work. Have you picked the Scrophularia?"
"At this."
Fu Shaoping threw the sack to Old Man Tian.
Old Man Tian hurriedly caught it and glared at Fu Shaoping:
"This Gentian is the lifeblood of the three of us. How can you be so rude?"
talking.
Open the sack.
next moment.
Old Man Tian yelled and threw the sack in his hand away in panic:
"Why is there a demon snake in here?"
Old man Tian climbed up the tree in a flash.
Looking warily at the sack below.
The movements are smooth.
He doesn't look like a man in his sixties at all.
Fu Shaoping smiled secretly in his heart and said quickly:
"Uncle Tian, I have killed the demon snake in the sack. I was too tired to tell you."
Old Man Tian didn't believe it.
I lay on the tree for a long time.
Seeing that the demon snake in the sack was motionless, he came down from the tree.
If it were usual.
He would definitely teach Fu Shaoping a lesson for teasing him, but after learning that the demon snake was killed by Fu Shaoping, he instinctively felt that Fu Shaoping might have been a martial arts master before he fell into a coma.
If the memory is restored.
Maybe his skills will also return.
The curse words came to his lips but he swallowed them back, but he still muttered:
"You kid, I'm so old, how can I stand your surprise?"
talking.
He walked forward and carefully opened the sack.
Seeing that the demon snake inside was pierced directly by the dagger, he was shocked. He looked at Fu Shaoping with some pain and said reluctantly:
"This devil snake gall is a good thing. You are seriously injured and have not yet recovered. It is just right to swallow it to replenish your body."
talking.
He quickly took out the demon snake's gall and handed it to Fu Shaoping.
Fu Shaoping thought that Old Man Tian was going to exchange it for money, but he didn't expect that the old man had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He immediately took it and swallowed it.
After the snake gall is swallowed.
A warm current immediately came through his body. He tried to practice his skills but failed.
After Old Man Tian peeled the snake skin, he stood up and said:
"Let's go home. That's all for today."
Old Man Tian stuffed the Scrophularia into his inner pocket. This was a key treasure that determined whether they could continue to live in Taiyun Valley in the next year.
The two went down the mountain.
We will soon reach Taiyun Valley.
Old Man Tian, who had been nervous all the way, breathed a sigh of relief:
"Finally I got home safely."
When speaking.
Don't forget to protect the inner pocket.
Fu Shaoping's ears twitched.
Although his spiritual sense is unusable now, he is a three-seal talisman master after all, and his five senses are much stronger than those of ordinary people:
"wrong!"
Fu Shaoping suddenly sensed a murderous intent coming from behind him:
"Uncle Tian, keep your body down!"
Fu Shaoping shouted loudly, and at the same time, he swiftly stabbed the ground, and in a few flashes he jumped onto a nearby sycamore tree. After passing through the tree, he saw a large net bag pulled up from where they were originally.
The net bag fell empty.
The two big men hiding in the forest sneered and walked out:
"It seems that this sickly kid that Runzhi picked up is actually quite smart."
Old man Tian escaped the disaster.
Seeing that the person coming was the bully in the valley, Yunda and Yunqi brothers took a few steps back in fear:
"What are you doing? Yunda, don't forget that your mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to you. It was I who gave her a root of Scrophulariaceae to keep her alive. I brought you two brothers into this world. You can't repay kindness with enmity!"
"Uncle Tian, we two brothers will always remember your kindness. Twenty years ago, you saved our lives. Now we are in trouble. The genus ginseng we were guarding was eaten by the magic eagle. Now, we can only ask you for help again, Uncle Tian!"
talking.
The two of them walked forward quickly.
It is obvious that they want to snatch the Scrophularia.
How could Old Man Tian, an old man, be a match for him? He was very decisive and immediately took out the Scrophularia from his inner pocket and threw it at Fu Shaoping on the sycamore tree:
"Shaoping, take the Scrophularia into the mountains, quickly!"
Fighting is strictly prohibited in Taiyun Valley.
Once discovered, they will be strangled immediately.
"Old man, I wanted to save your life, but since you are looking for death, don't blame us two brothers for not remembering our friendship."
Yunda immediately drew out his big knife, raised it high, and chopped down at Old Man Tian in mid-air.
Old Man Tian was so frightened that his body went limp and he could not move at all. He could only close his eyes and wait for death, while shouting:
"Shaoping, I'm leaving my daughter in your care. You must not let her down!"
The imagined headache did not come.
Open your eyes and take a look.
But he saw that Yunda, who was originally close to him, had been strangled by the neck with a hemp rope and was hung high on the paulownia tree. His feet were trembling and he could not see quickly enough.
Yun Qi immediately panicked:
"Little white face, put my brother down quickly."
While talking.
He glanced over.
He quickly picked up the big knife on the ground.
Yun Qi was chubby and couldn't climb up the phoenix tree at all. He turned around and ran towards Old Man Tian, obviously wanting to use Old Man Tian as a threat to force Fu Shaoping to release the people.
"Shaoping, don't let go!"
Old Man Tian saw hope for life.
he knows.
Once Fu Shaoping let go and Yunda recovered, there would be no chance of survival for both of them. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he scooped up a bunch of sand with both hands and threw it towards Yunqi. At the same time, he climbed up nimbly, and in a few steps he actually climbed up the paulownia tree next to him!
