Strange mountains and rivers

However, Chen Huaisheng knew that this Yuan Dan might not be as good as these people imagined.

The wolf spewed out two mouthfuls of alchemy energy during its last struggle, but before it had time to recover, it was hit by its own sharp sword talisman.

The sharp sword talisman was not an ordinary weapon, but a magic weapon. It was the power of the wolf's elixir that was destroyed, so that the wolf was finally killed by himself.

How much elixir is left in this Yuan Dan has to be questioned. In comparison, if the power of the Yuan Dan is leaked into the wolf meat, the wolf meat may be really tasty.

Only Chen Huaisheng himself knows the joints here, and it is not enough for outsiders to know.

Chen Luosheng didn't ask any more questions, nodded, put it aside, and then removed a large piece of wolf leg meat.

Use an ear knife to continuously make long and deep cuts on the wolf meat, then rub green salt, peppercorns, onions and garlic on one side and stuff them into the meat seams.

Chen Huaisheng's small courtyard is on the northwest side of Yuanbaoyuan, not far away from the long stream that passes through the lowlands below.

There were also many neighbors around, but they only came to say hello when Chen Huaisheng and Chen Daosheng came in, and then they dispersed.

When Chen Huaisheng's Taoist identity became clear, this gap had already opened deeply between them.

Even the relationship between Chen Huaisheng's uncles and several cousins ​​is very dull now. Of course, the biological relationship is still there, but Chen Huaisheng no longer feels like a creature in the pond, and his ways are different.

Especially when Chen Luosheng, who was already considered a big shot in the village, came to visit, no one would come.

The erected iron rack used hooks to hang large pieces of wolf meat on the bonfire. The fat of the wolf meat was roasted and dripped into the fire. With a popping sound, a flame danced.

"..., the situation in the village is like this. The Chen and Yin families talk about the affairs, and the Zheng, Song, and Zou families share the profits. However, Zou Delong is dead, and it is estimated that the Zou family will not be able to recommend a suitable person..."

"The Zhou family in Luobao is becoming more and more domineering. Our village, Fengtongling and Heimuya are all feeling the pressure. Everyone in Guzhenyi has become a coward. The Zhou family has indeed produced many talented people in recent years. , two people have already entered Taoism, one has joined Lingyun Sect, and I heard that they are both at the second level of Qi Refining, one has gone to Bianjing, the situation is unknown, and there are also a large number of Taoists who have performed well..."

"So the mineral veins by the Youhe River are monopolized by Luo Burger?" Chen Huaisheng cut off a piece of wolf meat with a boot knife and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It was originally a place where no one cared. Who would have cared in the past? Suddenly a mineral vein appeared, and everyone was red-eyed. But who can challenge the Zhou family?" Chen Luosheng looked disdainful, "Don't look at how loud each family is. If you really want to fight against the Zhou family, you have to be timid."

Chen Huaisheng didn't care either. It was not his turn to care about these things for the time being.

When he came back this time, he wanted to do two things: to check for clues about Lu Zhao's neighbor's attack, and to enlighten himself as soon as possible. As long as he understood and entered the Tao, this Yuanbao Village would be a thing of the past for him.

And he had a hunch that it was not far away to break through to the Tao. He had already touched the threshold of that artistic conception. It just depended on the timing.

"Want a pot?" Chen Luosheng shook the wine pot in his hand.

"Well, let's have a pot." Chen Huaisheng was not polite, took the wine pot handed over by the other party, took a big sip, and the sweetness went into his throat, with a bit of the fragrance of the bamboo core, and then turned into a ball of heat, "Miaozhu, Dieya, what else?"

Taoists, like cultivators, must try their best to avoid the influence of turbidity in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Food is the most important, so whether it is tea, wine, meat or rice, they are separated from ordinary people.

The brewed wine can only be made from spiritual rice or Yumai Jiahe, and other spiritual plants are added for seasoning. For example, this pot of wine is added with the juice of two spiritual herbs, Miaozhu and Dieya.

Neither Miaozhu nor Dieya are particularly valuable spiritual plants or herbs.

Wonderful bamboo is produced in mountain bamboo forests and is nourished by underground spiritual energy. As long as you are willing to look for it in the bamboo forest, you can always find a few among tens of thousands of bamboo trees. You can use their bamboo cores to make tea or wine.

Dieya is a wild tea shrub, but Chen Huaisheng knew that it can only be seen at least thirty miles away from the extremity area. It is infiltrated by Yin Miasma but not stained, so it is more precious.

"What else? What else? Just these two are fatal. Miaozhu happened to meet two of them, just over Sandaogou. Now I don't dare to go. Dieya helped someone go into the mountain the year before last. I encountered it when I was hunting monsters at the second level of Qi Refining. I picked a few handfuls and kept them in ice bottles. I added them when making wine. You are lucky if you can taste them..."

Chen Luosheng glared at Chen Huaisheng angrily, "It's because of your wolf meat, otherwise I will have to keep this wine and drink it until next year."

Chen Huaisheng did not pick up the topic and started directly from Sandaogou: "I can't go to Sandaogou because of the appearance of groups of wolf wolves?"

"You also know?" Chen Luosheng was surprised: "Where did you hear it?"

"Zhou Chunping's place at Zhugou Pass." Chen Huaisheng said truthfully: "Brother Ninth, have the monsters in the mountains here in Liao County started to appear in the past two years? This was not the case before. What's the reason?"

Mountain is the name that people here refer to the forbidden area.

Yushan stretches for three thousand miles and can be roughly divided into three circles: inner, middle and outer areas. The outer area is the area where mortals live. The inner circle is called the forbidden area and is the main area where monsters and monsters in Da Zhao move.

The central zone consists of mountainous counties such as Liao County and Pang County, which are closely related to the inner circle.

Monsters basically live in the mountains, but there are always some monsters that will escape due to various unexpected factors, which will also pose a threat to surrounding human living areas.

In the fifteenth year of Xuanning, a third-level monster named Jiu Yuan Lei Ku ran out of the mountains and entered the county, causing harm to the area and attracting monks of all levels to hunt it down.

As a result, Jiuyuan Leixi was surrounded and killed by the monks at Bailu Cliff in Mount Luoshan, causing a catastrophe.

Three peak Zifu cultivators and five cultivators at the peak of Foundation Establishment benefited or died as a result.

One person who passed through the tribulation at the peak of Zi Mansion successfully became a Golden Core cultivator, while two people who passed through tribulation at the peak of Foundation Establishment successfully became Zi Mansion monks.

The other two Zifu peaks and three Foundation Establishment peaks failed to overcome the tribulation.

Two of the top Zifu disciples died on the spot, and only one of the three top foundation builders survived the thunderstorm. He fell from the ninth level of foundation establishment to the seventh level of foundation establishment, while the other two were killed on the spot.

This should be the most famous legendary story in the past thirty years, in which a battle between a third-order monster beast and a monk caused a catastrophe.

This story has spread throughout the entire Zhao Dynasty, and the practice community is talking about it, but few people know the specific details.

Those who successfully overcome the tribulation and advance to the next level remain silent, and those who are lucky enough to escape also say nothing.

However, most of the time, the threatening monsters that come out are first-order monsters, such as red-tailed wolves and ghost-beak tits. Second-order monsters are very rare, and third-order monsters may not be heard of in ten years. .

Therefore, the people living around here are not too afraid. If they really encounter it, it will be a fate. The probability is not even as good as that of encountering ordinary beasts in the mountains.

"Who knows? I heard rumors left by the old people that this happens every few hundred years. I don't know if it is true or not?" Chen Luosheng shook his head.

"But it is true that the frequency of monster beasts coming out in Liao County has greatly increased. Not to mention our Guzhen side, Fengtongling, Luohamburger and Yuanbaozhai have all encountered it, and further east, Caoji Town and Wangzhuang Town have encountered it. This kind of situation also exists, but it is not as severe as ours."

"How many victims were there?" Chen Huaisheng asked consciously after hearing the other party mention Fengtong Ridge.

"Absolutely. Apart from the monsters, we Taoists are the first to bear the brunt. We have the responsibility to protect the land. But if it is a second-level monster, it will be a gift. The first-order monster will also have to be divided. It also depends on your own organization. How about it? If we can have one or two monks of the first and second levels of Qi Refining to take the lead, we can still have a chance to fight. If it depends purely on us, wouldn't we encounter you today? Without you, this Yuanbaozhai Council will probably be destroyed. Most of it fell."

Chen Luosheng's words were also full of sighs, "The red-tailed wolf in Motianping has slipped away to nowhere. Can he come back? Is this world going to let people live?"
