Chapter 8 Talking Grass (this chapter is free)

The warm atmosphere continued, but Yu Ci himself got out of it, staring at the jumping bonfire, a little absent-minded: To tell the truth so easily, he must be drunk.

Or is it that the desire in his heart has reached such a point?

Yu Ci didn't understand the true meaning of "longevity" when he was young, but he clearly knew the price of longevity. The piles of bones under the palace of Shuangxian are the best explanation.

At first it was just fear, but as I got older and more courageous, the fear gradually faded away, leaving only deep traces left in my heart.In addition, the supernatural powers of the two immortals calling the wind and calling the rain, flying to the sky and escaping from the earth, are like a seed, buried deep in the imprint, which sprouts, grows, and becomes a towering tree deeply rooted in the heart during the long wandering days.

Unknowingly, the thing of "longevity" has been integrated into the blood of his whole body, becoming an instinct.Instinct to pursue, not to think about the so-called "meaning", because longevity itself is the collection of all meanings.

This is how Yu Ci understood.

The spirits stirred his body, he strongly wanted to rush into that world, his blood boiled, intending to break through the invisible barrier, but he was always short of hearing the rattling of the lid on the top of his head. It rang.

Since entering the upper level of Mingqiao, opening the "Spiritual Aperture" in the dark, and sensing his own soul, this feeling has increased day by day. These days in the Tianrift Valley, it has reached the point where the furnace is full of pills and is about to burst out.

Yu Ci knew that this was the harbinger of a breakthrough, but he just lacked an opportunity. Purely with his existing strength, he was still a bit short.Fortunately, he has full patience and tenacity, accumulating strength at this level until the moment he breaks through the top.

When he was in a daze, the people around the campfire had escaped from his jokes about "longevity delusion" and returned to the issues they were most concerned about, but after a long time of discussion, they still didn't understand whether it was the shrimp grass or the fish dragon grass that really use.After a long time of missing the point, everyone's interest faded. Seeing that they were going to be cold, someone suddenly sneered:

"Never mind it, it's only true if you know how much it's worth."

This is quite straightforward.Yu Ci also came to his senses. He thought it was Li Hong who made another high-level statement, but soon realized that something was wrong. This person spoke sonorously and forcefully, and his voice seemed to be like the sound of gold and iron, which was very different from Li Hong's ambiguous tone before.

Looking away, he suddenly realized that it was Taoist Yan.

This person also belongs to the group in Cliff City, but he is not a full-time 'medicine' picker, but joined in the middle of the process, which is somewhat similar to Yu Ci's situation.He is also dressed in a Taoist attire, claiming to be a Taoist priest, but has a rough face, a ring of beards, and ringing eyes like bells, with very sharp eyes.Yu Ci estimated before that among this group of 'medicine' pickers, only this person's cultivation base is the most brilliant, probably at the upper level of Mingqiao, surpassing others by a fraction.

All eyes were on him.Someone laughed: "Is this grass comparable to the Sanyang Talisman Sword?"

When introducing himself before, Daoist Yan said frankly that his goal is the Sanyang Talisman Sword, which is the same as Yu Ci, so he said so.

Daoist Yan grinned: "Sanyang Talisman Sword? It's not easy to calculate. All I know is that ten ichthyosaurs can be exchanged for one cold jade heart-washing pill."

After saying this, the people in the circle were at a loss, they just felt that what Yan Daoshi said didn't make sense.Only Li Hong, the alcohol seemed to have passed, and he started to put on a show again, pretending to be thoughtful: "Han Yu Xi Xin Pill, where did I hear it?"

"That must be in the White Sun Mansion."

Taoist Yan grinned: "The Bairi Mansion can produce hundreds of Sanyang Talisman Swords every year, and only the mansion master still holds three or two of these cold jade Xixin Pills, and he must be careful Keep it, store it in a secret room, and put it under special guard, lest it will be stolen by thieves... Hehe, that's what it means."

"His!"

The scene where twenty or so people gasped together was quite spectacular, but Yu Ci was a little absent-minded.For some reason, when he saw Taoist Yan's smile, he felt very uncomfortable, and a special smell poured into his nose. Before he could figure out what was going on, Taoist Yan laughed again:

"However, although the Cold Jade Xixin Pill is good, it is also an unattainable thing. It is not comparable to the Sanyang Talisman Sword. It can be exchanged for only a thousand shrimp silk grasses. It is better for me to keep my feet on the ground and take it step by step."

Ok?What does he mean?

Yu Ci keenly grasped the change in Taoist Yan's tone, the word "I" inserted horizontally was really weird.He wasn't the only one who was smart, Lu Bing also raised his head and looked at the past with puzzled eyes.

At this moment, the smell at the end of the nose was extremely strong.

"careful!"

Yu Ci suddenly shouted loudly, and when the rest of the people were still at a loss, he suddenly fell back and lay flat like this.A little later, the fiery red light swept past his eyes, and the waves of fire rushed over, roasting the skin of his forehead hard.

What followed was a series of screams, and Taoist Yan's unscrupulous laughter.

"Bastard!" This was Lu Bing's voice, accompanied by Qiang Lang Jian Ming.

Yu Ci rolled over again, about ten feet away, and then jumped up from the ground. During this process, the screams continued.

When I looked up, what I saw was the tragic scene of dead bodies by the fire.Beside the bonfire, most of the people who had been discussing in full swing before were dead on the ground at this time, and the medicine picker who had shared a drink with him just now was cut in half at this time, and he was still alive for a while, struggling and moaning on the ground 'groan'.The cut surface of the huge wound was scorched as black as charcoal, and no blood could flow out, but it was more terrifying than the scene of five steps of blood spattering.

It was Taoist Nayan who caused all this.

This person was laughing unceasingly, with a red glow in his hand, its body looked like a short glowing stick at first glance, round and without a front, but when you looked closely, you found that the flames were condensed, and the aura was as sharp as a sword.As the rays of light radiated, more torrential fire waves gushed out. Wherever they passed, the grass and trees on the ground spontaneously ignited without wind, and soon formed a huge fire circle that expanded and contracted.

Inside the circle of fire, Lu Bing's face was distorted, like a madman, attacking Taoist Yan incessantly.The cold light of the long sword in his hand shoots everywhere, it is not of ordinary grade, and the momentum of the sword is like a violent storm, its momentum is overwhelming.However, Daoist Yan didn't care much, he didn't move for a moment, the red light shook slightly in his hand, and easily blocked Lu Bing's life-threatening sword light.

Moreover, Daoist Yan turned his head in a leisurely manner, smiled at Yu Ci, and said, "You are on the alert, the Daoist is only thinking about it, so you will be aware of it, otherwise your pretty face will definitely be split in half by me... "

Yu Ci raised her eyebrows, this murderer was too arrogant.
