Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 250 A Little Talent

In the distant woods, the trees swayed incessantly before finally collapsing.

Everywhere there were terrifying hisses and the rustling sound of snakes slithering across the grass.

Looking out from the high mountain, Gu Jingnian and the others could see leeches all swarming in one direction.

"They went to worship their king."

Hu Jingnan could understand the leech's speech and quickly grasped the situation.

Seeing the large commotion, Yingyao was a little worried and asked, "Have we caused trouble?"

When she said she was causing trouble, she meant she was worried about getting into trouble for Womin. In her heart, old Womin had been kind to her.

Gu Jingnian then looked at A Meng, whom he had just found, and asked him some questions, mainly about his life here and how to get to other realms.

Most of the time, A-Meng would shake his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Gu Jingnian then asked, "After you arrived here, did you see Master Ma?"

“No.” A-Meng shook his head and said, “But Master Ma did send me something.”

"What is it?"

"It's just some clothes, shoes, and socks," A-Meng said. "My body can grow bigger and smaller, and it always tears my clothes."

Where are those clothes?

"In the realm where I live."

Ah Meng naturally doesn't live in this realm full of leeches. According to him, the realm he lives in is full of iron and stone, with many tall iron furnaces and a large number of servants.

As Gu Jingnian listened to his description, he got a general idea of ​​what was going on.

But now that Shen Jichi is gone, he can't go anywhere. Trapped in this realm full of leeches, he'll probably be swallowed up sooner or later.

He kept thinking about these things, but he was too tired and gradually fell asleep.

He didn't sleep well, and dreamed of many strange things. In the dream, Gu Jingnian also vaguely saw Shen Jichi following Zhao Boheng's spirit as he came, his movements like a strange dance.

When he woke up again, his injuries seemed to have healed and his energy had been fully restored.

But when he practiced controlling fire, he didn't feel that his strength had increased much because of the Fiend Heart.

He then asked Ying Yao and Hu Jingnan, "Have you felt the effects of the snake's heart?"

“You can understand the snake language now,” Hu Jingnan said.

"It's like he took some really good medicine for his injuries," Ying said.

"What else?"

Both shook their heads.

Gu Jingnian then thought that perhaps, as Liu Yuchuan said, the serpent's heart was not used in this way.

Simply sucking blood is far too easy. Gu Jizu sucked so much of his blood back then, yet he didn't become an alien.

“We need to find Shen Jichi,” Gu Jingnian said. “Does Miss Hu have any ideas?”

Hu Jingnan said, "If he is still in this world, I can try playing a song to attract him."

"it is good."

"But we need to make a violin."

Gu Jingnian then took A Meng and Yan Da to the woods to chop wood. He thought that the wood they found was not good, but Hu Jingnan said that it was a thousand-year-old tree with excellent quality, which was perfect for making a zither.

Making a violin is a delicate craft, and fortunately, Ameng is quite good at woodworking. Although he doesn't seem very bright, he has indeed worked as a carpenter.

Finally, Hu Jingnan took out silk strings and tied them on, and a zither was roughly completed.

She gently plucked the strings and played a moving melody.

Gu Jingnian had never understood music, so he sat there with his eyes closed, waiting for Shen Jichi to arrive.

Strangely enough, this time he found that he could hear the emotions in Hu Jingnan's music. He could understand what she was saying through the piano notes that were previously difficult to comprehend.

It is a farewell, a reunion, a joy, or a sorrow.

As he listened, Gu Jingnian was so moved by the music that he felt his emotions rise and fall with the notes.

When the song ended, he turned around and saw that Yingyao's face was covered in tears.

"Can you understand?"

"Uh-huh."

Ying nodded, unable to contain herself.

Gu Jingnian, however, had another feeling. Just now, while listening to the music and practicing feeling the flames with his eyes closed, he found that he was making much more progress than usual.

This music seems to aid in cultivation; if it's not a coincidence, it's probably related to the fact that they all drank the blood of the viper's heart together.

Unfortunately, it did not attract Shen Jichi.

After playing for two days, Gu Jingnian suspected that Shen Jichi had already left this realm.

He had to find a way to save himself, and after thinking it over, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

If it was because Huixin drank Hu Jingnan's blood, and he drank Huixin's blood, that they gained each other's superpowers or some kind of "talent".

Since Hui Xin also drank Shen Ji Chi's blood, could he also learn the Shadow Transmission Technique?
With this in mind, Gu Jingnian did not hesitate, unfolding his fire wings and flying to the riverbank. He looked at his reflection on the river and tried to control it.

But nothing happens.

The transmission of shadows is clearly not that simple; it would have been better to have found a way to refine Shen Jichi earlier.

Gu Jingnian did not give up immediately. Recalling the feeling of seeing Shen Jichi's shadow in his mind, he tried again and again.

He stayed by the river for three days, sometimes catching a few fish to grill for Yingyao and the others, but still made no progress.

That day, he was still standing on the shore when he heard faint footsteps behind him. It was Hu Jingnan.

"You don't need to worry," Hu Jingnan comforted gently. "At least those nine-headed serpents didn't intend to harm us. Liu Yuchuan was injured and fled, so we should be safe here."

"Give me your hand," Gu Jingnian said, turning around.

Hu Jingnan hesitated for a moment, but still offered her hand, which he then took.

Gu Jingnian took out her hairpin and gently traced it across her palm.

"pain."

Hu Jingnan frowned and called out, trying to pull her hand away, but Gu Jingnian held it tightly.

The two looked over and saw that the wound on his palm was an inch long, with bright red blood, and it had not healed immediately.

Gu Jingnian was somewhat disappointed. He casually waved his hand, setting a clump of dry grass on fire, and asked, "Can you control this flame?"

"Let me try."

Hu Jingnan finally broke free of her grasp, took a few steps forward, stared blankly at the flames for a long time, and finally said, "There is no reaction."

"Perhaps I'm overthinking it," Gu Jingnian murmured. "Then there's only one way."

"what?"

“I suspect they will come back for the snake heart,” Gu Jingnian said. “We have to capture and refine them.”

Hu Jingnan knew he was referring to Liu Yuchuan or Shen Jichi, and asked with some concern, "Can we do it?"

"Try it."

"But how do I refine it?"

“Blood transfusion method,” Gu Jingnian said. “I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. I can sense that I have your special ability, but I can’t use it. The reason is probably that our blood transfusion wasn’t thorough enough. So let’s try it thoroughly this time.”

"Do you know how many times others have tried these methods before they succeeded?"

"We can't just sit here and wait to die."

Gu Jingnian acted immediately. Having decided to ambush Liu Yuchuan or Shen Jichi, he went to find the Nine-Headed Serpent again.

It wasn't hard to find; almost all the leeches in the world were flocking to the same place. Following their direction, Gu Jingnian saw a huge swamp.

The air was filled with a foul smell.

The swamp is probably hundreds of miles in circumference and is growing at a rapid rate.

One by one, the leeches crawled to the edge of the swamp, sank down, and spat out their saliva, which then overflowed like a flood. The wild beasts had no time to escape and quickly sank into the swamp, becoming rotting food.

It is conceivable that one day, this entire world will be filled with swamps.

The nine-headed serpent is hidden in this swamp; it will probably be very difficult to find it again.

Just then, a voice rang out from behind Gu Jingnian.

"You dare to trespass?"

Gu Jingnian turned around and saw an old woman.

The old woman looked fierce, with a rather mean gaze and a very irritable temper.

"You are the one who intends to capture the Woren and seize their hearts!"

Just as Gu Jingnian was about to speak, he felt the sky darken and looked up to see an entire mountain pressing down on him.

He flapped his fiery wings, trying to fly away.

However, the mountain that was pressing down on him grew larger and larger, growing much faster than he could fly away.

No matter how he flies, he always stays in the very middle of the mountain.

Soon, the mountain pressed down on him, pushing him rapidly downwards.

Even if he wanted to fly down, the mountain was falling faster than him.

He had nowhere to escape, and if he were crushed, he would surely die. Although he could heal himself, this did not apply if his entire body was crushed.

Looking down, you can see the surface of a swamp.

Even the leeches in the swamp were frightened and fled.

Gu Jingnian could no longer fly down the mountain.

"Oh!"

The earth shook violently, and a huge mountain crashed into the swamp, sinking rapidly.

This aura was not only meant to kill Gu Jingnian, but also seemed to be able to crush the Nine-Headed Serpent.
