"Sword species? Why is there a sword species in the devil's cave?"
Ping Jiangqiu was reading an old book that he had read more than a dozen times. He was not immersed in it at all. He said casually: "Well, it is possible, but I don't say there must be."
Tang Zhao said: "Isn't it said that the sword species is very rare? What is the relationship between the devil's cave and the sword species?"
Pingjiang Qiu said: "It is very rare, and it has attracted the covetousness of the devil."
He put down the book and explained: "A long time ago, everyone thought that sword seeds were rare, but it was often found in the devil's cave that one could get sword seeds by killing demons. At that time, some people still thought that swordsmen were evil heretics. It set off a wave of anti-swordsmen. However, everyone later learned that it is not that there are sword species in the devil's cave, but that the sword species will attract the devil's cave."
"Things like the Devil's Cave, Heavenly Demons, and Phantoms are essentially foreign bastards. The Heavenly Demons are the strongest, but they rarely come. Once they come, they will inevitably be accompanied by the Demon's Cave, and even the environment will change. It is not easy for them to come, and they must be profitable. For example, sword species, it is said that they can eat sword species alive to increase their strength. Those phantoms and the like are the servants of the demon. They may be strong or weak, most of them are not strong, and powerful warriors can deal with them. But they are very strange, and they are extremely numerous. Many of them will fall down when the evil moon comes, swish into the ground, and then hide in unknown places to harm people, making them hard to guard against. Generally speaking, most of the evil disasters are caused by phantoms."
"As for the ferocious beasts, that's not a big deal. They are local beasts that have been affected by evil spirits and become crazy. They are rough-skinned and thick-bodied, and are usually left to the same rough-skinned and thick-bodied charlatans to deal with them. You know, make me a righteous man or something."
Tang Zhao was silent and said: "That is also a hero who protects the country and the people."
Pingjiang Qiu said: "In the past, once the devil's cave came, they would all come after the sword species. It was a disaster or an opportunity, and many people came to grab it. But later, the devil's cave came more and more frequently, and there was no need for a reason. It came whenever they wanted. , 90% of the demon caves do not have sword species, but they are becoming more and more powerful and unprofitable, and no one is interested. Unless they are recruited by the court, they can only maintain the scene. Only those small local forces and desperate people who have never seen the world. Only disciples want to take risks."
He shook his head, his expression became depressed, and said: "This world is going to end. The devil's cave is a permanent disaster. Even if the devil destroys the devil's cave, it will not be destroyed. It is like a scar, covering the land here and there sooner or later, even for those who farm. There is no place. The wild beasts have become ferocious beasts, and there is no way to kill them all. The cattle, horses, and beasts will either mutate or die. Not to mention that there are more and more demon phantoms. Our world is like a sieve... Sooner or later, everyone will die! Still! I’m safer here.”
He kept talking endlessly, always saying that he was hopeless. Tang Zhao was very upset when he heard it. Regardless of whether it made sense or not, it made people feel depressed anyway.
Tang Zhao asked: "I see that the environments of the magic caves are different, and some eventually turn into forests and water pools. Isn't there a magic cave that makes the land rich? Can't we make use of the changed land?"
Ping Jiangqiu hummed: "What are you thinking? The Devil's Cave is full of Yin Qi. Most people are corroded by Yin Qi, at least they will become seriously ill. How can they use it?"
Tang Zhao said: "Aren't there crops that can grow in Yin Qi? How about cultivating them specially? Ordinary people can't get close to them. What about the masters with strong blood Qi? What about the casual people who have practiced Gang Qi?"
Ping Jiangqiu looked strange and said: "What are you thinking about? Let alone Sanren, a hero with strong martial arts is enjoying life outside, why should he go to the devil's cave to farm?"
Tang Zhao said: "You don't have to farm the land yourself, but you can let the powerful ferocious beasts farm the land? Wouldn't it be good to divide the land in the devil's cave to make money? And although the ferocious beasts are unpalatable, they can be eaten and are very nutritious." , why don’t you raise them and cut them for meat?”
The more Ping Jiangqiu listened, the more incredible he became, and said, "What are you thinking about? Aren't you a scholar? How did you think of farming?"
Tang Zhao wanted to say that this was what Mr. Chen taught me, but considering that he had never seen the Demon Cave and had no idea what was going on inside, it was just empty talk and did not conform to the principles of doing things taught by Mr. Chen, so he stopped mentioning it and just mentioned it. Write this down.
He continued to read the information, followed by various introductions, speculating on the environment of the devil's cave and various monsters, mainly heavenly demons and various phantoms. Among them, the phantom is very detailed and looks strange and a bit scary. Fortunately, it is just a picture, and no matter how scary it is, it is limited. As for the demon, I only guessed the size and couldn't even draw a picture.
"There's still a quarter of an hour left." Ping Jiangqiu suddenly reminded.
Tang Zhao turned his head and said, "What?"
Pingjiang Qiu said: "Someone is looking for you outside."
Tang Zhao hurriedly stood up and said, "Ah? Then I..."
Pingjiang Qiu said: "The two of us are here reading, the others are nothing, just tell them to wait."
Tang Zhao said: "How can I be as grand as you? I have to go -"
Pingjiang Qiu said: "I noticed it a long time ago, so I left an extra hour for you. There is still a quarter of an hour. You can comb your hair, wash your face, and get ready."
Tang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and as expected, washed his face by the water and said, "Who is here?"
Kicked down the door in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be the judge again?
Then climb out of the jar yourself and not reveal your secret right then and there?
"It's the little girl owner of Black Spider Villa." Pingjiang Qiu said.
Is it Black Widow? Why did she come?
Was it Xing Ji who asked her to come?
Looking for trouble with yourself?
"Be careful with her."
Tang Zhaoyi frowned: "Of course."
"She is very charming, don't be fascinated by her."
…
When Tang Zhao crawled out from under the bed, he happened to see the shadow outside the window.
Someone is here, but they haven't entered the window yet.
Ping Jianxia's senses are very keen.
Although Tang Zhao knew it was the Black Widow, he had to behave normally. He took out the magic weapon from under the pillow and shouted in a low voice: "Who?"
Someone outside the window laughed and said, "Who do you think I am?"
The voice was sweet, with a sense of laziness.
Yuan Qing's voice is very charming, but this charm is always a bit deliberate. Black Widow's voice is not deliberately soft, but fresh and bright, but it just feels tingling in the ears.
Just like she never does those charming looks, but she has a natural charm of her own.
It's just that Tang Zhao is not old enough, so he only feels friendly looking at her and has no other feelings.
Opening the window, Tang Zhao was surprised and said: "Master of the village? What are you..."
There was indeed a black widow outside, and her face became brighter and brighter under the moonlight, as bright as the new moon.
But she was not wearing the usual white clothes, but a Taoist robe and a crown on her head, which made her look like a nun.
Black Widow smiled and said, "You don't want me to come in?"
Tang Zhao said: "Please come in. Ah, no, you wait, I will open the door." He walked around to the door and opened it.
Of course, it was impossible for him to refuse Black Widow entry. This was his own villa, and he was just a guest. Furthermore, even if he was forced to stop him, would he be able to stop him? Pingjiang Qiudu told him not to mess with the black widow.
Moreover, he is too young, so even if he invites a woman in in the middle of the night, he will not arouse any suspicion.
Black Widow entered the door, looked around his small room, and said: "It's so small here. Isn't it comfortable to live in? There's not even a mirror."
Tang Zhao thought to himself: Mirror? Is that something necessary?
Black Widow actually held a bundle and placed it on the table, which actually contained a mirror. She put up the mirror, took out rouge, gouache, eyebrow pencil and other items and put them on the table.
Tang Zhao's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it: The black widow came to visit at night and was actually putting on makeup in his room?
As expected, Black Widow started picking up the gouache and said, "I'm going to a place tonight and need to make up. It's windy on the road. I'll borrow your place for a while. Is that okay?"
Tang Zhao nodded, but she started to melt even if he didn't object.
She smiled and said, "By the way, do you want to go? The place I go to has something to do with your mission."
Tang Zhao was stunned and said: "Me? Master Xing, does he know?"
Black Widow said: "Is there something he doesn't know? Have you seen the information he gave you? There are several people in it. I want to meet them. This is the task he gave me."
Tang Zhao said: "One of our own or the enemy?"
Black Widow said: "Enemies. What's there to see about our people? The time limit is coming. Some people couldn't hide before, but now they have found their traces. I will go and find out for him."
Tang Zhao suddenly said: "I want to meet the enemy, so I have to disguise myself?"
Black Widow tilted her head and said, "That's right."
Tang Zhao was surprised when she tilted her head to one side. The corners of her rippling apricot eyes drooped and half of their brilliance was lost.
So fast, makeup is really magic.
"If you want to come with me, change into the clothes in the bag."
There was also a set of Taoist robes in the bag. Tang Zhao compared them and found that they were similar in size to his own. They could almost be considered tailor-made. He thought to himself: My dear, aren't these all ready? Have you made up your mind to ask me to go?
Immediately afterwards, he thought of Xing Ji telling him, asking him if he was bored and if he wanted to ask the owner of the village to arrange a small job for him.
Could it be this?
Disguise reconnaissance sounds good, and spying on future enemies is also business. Tang Zhao also wanted to go. Since it is allowed by Xing Ji and led by a master like Black Widow, then this trip will only gain experience and there will be no danger, so why not?
"Can you come back in one day?" He didn't have much time. Although he had cans to replenish his supplies, it was better not to waste too much.
"Don't worry, it's just for tonight. I'll be back before tomorrow night."
"Then follow the owner's instructions."
It was inconvenient for him to change in front of the black widow, so he opened the door and changed into his robe behind the door panel. When she came out again, Black Widow had stood up in front of the mirror.
She was still a beauty at this time, but not at all charming. On the contrary, he was extremely solemn, even a little unsmiling, which made his beautiful appearance even darker.
She waved and said, "Come here, I'll put on your makeup."
Tang Zhao said: "Do I want it too? No one recognizes me, right?"
Black Widow teased: "Not necessarily, I remember you still have a reward of one thousand taels of silver on your back."
Tang Zhao said angrily: "I heard that there is a mysterious swordsman who wants to find me. What am I worth?"
Black Widow said: "Are you going to be a little Taoist boy or a little girl? Just put on your eyebrows and you will look like a cute girl."
Tang Zhao immediately said: "I want to be a boy!"
Black Widow said: "A female Taoist priest and a male Taoist boy are not serious Taoist nuns." Seeing that Tang Zhao was speechless, she chuckled and said, "But I am indeed not a serious Taoist nun. Then it is a boy."
While talking, he tidied up Tang Zhao and helped him put his hair into a bun. Fang said, "Okay, let's set off."
