Chapter 11 Weird Seed
Xiao Lin's Liuyun Qingshen Technique Qinggong was practiced to the extreme. In the process of practicing this Qinggong, he was pleasantly surprised to find that after pouring the clear current from his body into his legs, his body was as light as a leaf. By lightly stepping on the ground, he could float several feet away. Moreover, he found that after practicing the Dry Water Sutra, he seemed to have particularly good endurance. Even if he used Qing Gong to fly for a day, the clear current in his body would be enough to support him. After that, he only needed to find a creek, sit next to it and regulate his breathing for a long time, and he would be back to his original state again.
Feeling the changes brought about by practicing the Dry Water Sutra, Xiao Lin was filled with joy, but his only regret was that he had been searching for mineral veins for more than a year, but still found nothing.
While roasting the hare, Xiao Lin looked at the fire and fell into deep thought.
"I wonder how my father and little sister are doing now? Xiao Shi should have returned to Huai County, right?" Xiao Lin said to himself with a slight sigh.
"Bah..." A neighing sound suddenly came from outside. Xiao Lin was startled. With a slight sway and the breeze sweeping by, he came to the entrance of the cave and looked up at the sky.
When I saw the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but be stunned.
In the sky, a giant eagle that was three feet long was locked in an inextricable fight with a snake. It was the snake that stunned Xiao Lin. The snake was only over ten feet long and looked less than half the size of the giant eagle. One, but the snake actually had a pair of thin cicada-like wings. The snake vomited indiscriminately, and its pair of triangular eyes flashed with fierce light.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin was terrified. He had seen many wild beasts in the Tianlu Mountains, such as a green wolf that was as big as a calf, a black bear that was two feet tall, and he even saw a beast that was three feet tall. A tiger that was ten feet long, but this was the first time he had seen a snake with wings.
"Huh?" Xiao Lin exclaimed. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky again.
It turned out that there was a person behind the winged snake, about ten feet away. However, this figure looked much smaller than the eagle and the snake, so Xiao Lin did not notice it at first.
The man had a three-foot-sized piece of yellow light on his feet. He held it in his hand in a weird posture and was looking at the giant eagle attentively.
As if he sensed someone looking at him, the man suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin was shocked. He didn't expect the man to be so alert. He could sense it just by looking at him. Xiao Lin hurriedly returned to the cave, carried the bamboo basket on his back, picked up his crossbow and went down the cliff towards the valley. Sweep away within.
No matter how stupid Xiao Lin is, he understands that the flying snake was most likely commanded by that person. Once that person frees his hands after killing the giant eagle, who knows whether it will be detrimental to him. A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. , this is Xiao Lin’s consistent way of doing things.
In desperation, Xiao Lin used his lightness skills to the extreme, stepping on flowers, grass and rocks, and flew towards the depths of the valley.
I don’t know how long the flight lasted, but Xiao Lin came to a cliff. A waterfall fell across the cliff. Xiao Lin flew along this river and looked at the tens of thousands of feet under the waterfall. Abyss, Xiao Lin frowned slightly.
His eyes searched everywhere, trying to find a way to climb over the canyon. Suddenly, he felt the breeze shaking behind him, and turned around quickly. When he saw the scene behind him, his face suddenly changed, and he became pale and bloodless.
It turned out that three feet away behind him, there was a young man in his twenties standing. The young man had fair skin and regular features, but his thin lips made him look a bit mean. He looked like he was smiling but not smiling. Looking at Xiao Lin.
"Huh? You've actually reached the third level of Qi Refining?" The young man said to himself with a little surprise on his face.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lin felt a fishy wind blowing towards his nose, and a green shadow flashed and landed next to the young man. It was the strange snake with wings.
Seeing the strange snake, Xiao Lin felt that his breathing was a little short. Before, seeing the strange snake from a distance was nothing, but now the strange snake is close at hand, with its body that is ten feet long and its ferocious snake head, plus the incessant inciting and carrying... The whining cicada wings made Xiao Lin feel chilly.
Taking a palm-sized feather that shimmered with yellow light from the strange snake's mouth, the young man showed a smile on his face.
"With this feather in the neck of the mortal-level primary wind spirit eagle, I can refine another primary-level magic weapon." He looked carefully at the palm-sized feather in his hand, and then a yellow light flashed. The feather in his hand disappeared.
Xiao Lin was dumbfounded. When he was very young, he heard the old man in the village tell stories about immortals, but the behavior of the people in front of him was exactly the same as the immortals in the story.
"You...are you a god?" Xiao Lin asked carefully.
"Immortal?" Touching his chin, the young man sneered: "In the eyes of mortals, I can indeed be called an immortal. I wonder what I call this Taoist friend? What sect is he a disciple of?"
"My...my name is Xiao Lin, and I am an outer disciple of Bailian Hall."
"Oh, it turns out he's a casual cultivator who accidentally practiced the magic formula." He muttered to himself, followed by a chill in the light in the young man's eyes.
Seeing the young man's eyes, Xiao Lin was shocked and his heart sank.
"I have been squatting here in Shuiyun Valley for three months for this Wind Spirit Eagle. Many disciples from other sects have been working hard for this Wind Spirit Eagle. I finally found the right opportunity to take advantage of this Wind Spirit Eagle. Hair loss every ten years is the time when my strength is greatly reduced, so I can kill with one strike. If this matter is leaked, there is no guarantee that no one will plot against me. Originally, I thought that you, a casual cultivator, could not even store things. I don’t have a bag, so it’s normal to let you go, but I just complain that you saw something you shouldn’t have seen at the wrong time, so I’ll send you on your way.”
Xiao Lin was horrified. As soon as the young man finished speaking, the strange snake opened its bloody mouth and rushed toward him. The stench made his stomach churn, and he wanted to eat everything in his stomach. Spit it out.
With his mind spinning, Xiao Lin took out the dagger in his arms without hesitation and threw it at the strange snake. At the same time, he jumped into the abyss under the waterfall without hesitation.
"Huh?" The young man's surprised voice came to Xiao Lin's ears, and then he felt the world was spinning, and then he completely lost consciousness.
On the cliff, the young man looked down at the bottomless abyss under the waterfall, frowning slightly.
"Huh, it's so high. Even if I fall, I will escape death. Even if this rookie who has inexplicably stepped onto the threshold of cultivation has ten lives, he is not guaranteed. Don't blame me. If you do, blame your own bad luck." But the young man thought for a moment. Finally, he lightly tapped the storage bag on his waist, and a ball of yellow light flew out of it. If you look closely, you can see a yellow leaf in the yellow light. In a flash of yellow light, it came to the feet of the young man. The young man controlled this The leaf magic weapon flew under the waterfall, and after searching the dark water for a while, after making sure that no one was floating up, it turned into a yellow light and disappeared into the sky.
In Shuiyun Valley, more than ten miles away, a green stream ran across the valley, and not far away, a person was lying on a stone by the stream.
After a while, the lying man moved slightly and managed to stand up. He looked around, licked his chapped lips, and drank a few sips of stream water with his hands before feeling a little more energetic. Then he turned over and sat on the bluestone. This person was Xiao Lin who jumped into the waterfall.
Three hours later, Xiao Lin, shrouded in a layer of mist, opened his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Lin himself didn't expect that he would still be alive after jumping into the abyss. After the young man who controlled the snake had finished speaking, he knew that the young man had murderous intentions towards him. Facing that huge strange snake, he would definitely die. In an inanimate, almost instinctive way, he chose to jump into the abyss just to avoid becoming the prey of the strange snake. However, he never thought that he was quite lucky and survived the disaster.
He took out a jade box from his arms, only the size of a palm. After falling into the abyss, he unexpectedly saw a gray light not far away from him, but within the abyss, there was an undercurrent surging. Despite it, he Water has good properties, but it can't help itself and can only go with the flow.
It happened that the current sent him to the side of the light. Xiao Lin almost didn't think about it, he grabbed the gray light and stuffed it into his chest.
The jade box was translucent. Through the jade box, Xiao Lin could clearly see that there was a wrinkled seed inside.
He stuffed the jade box into his arms again and looked around cautiously. Through the young man's incident, he understood that the gods were not all good people. They were not even as good as ordinary mortals. He just saw him kill a man. The Wind Spirit Eagle was about to be silenced. This reason really left Xiao Lin speechless, but it also gave him a deeper understanding of the cruelty of this world.
"It seems that we have to be more careful in the future." Xiao Lin muttered to himself, then stood up and put the crossbow arrows on his back. The bamboo basket was lost after he fell into the abyss, along with the two books in his arms. The book was also completely soaked, but that didn't matter. I just had to find a place to dry it later.
He chose a direction and flew away.
Three months later, on the side of an inconspicuous hill in Shuiyun Valley, a dark hole appeared on the cliff completely covered by unknown vines. Xiao Linzheng stretched out his head and looked into the air. , a blue light flew towards the distance, and behind this green light, there was a red light closely following.
Xiao Lin retracted his neck from the cave and carefully arranged the green vines outside to cover the entrance of the cave. He felt uneasy in his heart. In the past few months, this was the only person he had seen except the snake-controlling young man. The second wave of "gods" came, and he found that there seemed to be quite a few such "gods" flying in the air in the Tianlu Mountains.
This made him even more cautious. After all, if he encountered a murderous person like the snake-controlling young man, he would not have a second abyss to jump to, and his luck would not be so good one after another that he would not die even if he jumped into the abyss.
Xiao Lin, who was hiding in the cave, didn't dare to take a breath. It wasn't until an hour later that he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that those "gods" should have gone far away.
He took out the jade box from his pocket again. He had been studying the strange seeds in the jade box for several days. No matter whether it was burned by fire or hit by stones, the strange seeds were not damaged at all, and the surface was still wrinkled.
