It has been a month since Wu Gen returned to Shenwu Academy. In addition to practicing martial arts every day, Wu Gen spends all day hanging out with Zhang Rong, Hu Jia and others. The Yin-Yang Pendant had already been turned in. Judging from Luo Bing's feedback, Zhaoxuansi responded very quickly and immediately summoned a group of people to study the hooks carefully.
The existence of this thing poses a threat to everyone. If it spreads, if there is no way to resist it, it may also be a catastrophe in the world.
Luo Bing was a little anxious during this period. Many students died in this operation. These students all come from hairpin families and powerful families. Although no one would block the mountain gate to make trouble because of this, the secret methods and invisible pressure are even more frightening.
However, Luo Bing brought good news to Wu Gen. Since Wu Gen found the Yin Yang Pendant and took the initiative to present the simplified Blood Spirit Talisman, he had done great service to the country. In addition to being rewarded with a lot of property, he also donated a damaged shuttle to the Shenwu Academy and imitated the Blood Spirit Talisman. The structure of the shuttle has improved the operation method of the shuttle, and warriors can also control it.
Luo Bing waved his hand and handed it over to Wu Gen's care. In essence, he belonged to Wu Gen. It's just that it can't be said openly that handing such an important weapon to a middle-aged man will make the students in each academy think. .
When one's destiny comes, there is really no way to stop it. On this day, Wu Gen slept soundly in the house during the day, holding the holly egg in his arms.
There has been no movement since the egg was obtained. At the beginning, Wu Gen still carried it with him all day long, hoping to hatch it with his own body temperature. But after a long time, it was still like an iron lump with no reaction.
Disappointed, Wu Gen threw it into a pile of jade and left it to fend for itself. Just because the eggshell is cool, it is used as a cool thing on weekdays. Nowadays, Wu Gen's cultivation has improved. Every day when he falls asleep, his blood and energy surge. On cold days, white mist steams up, and his breaths are like waves rising and falling.
If you observe carefully, you will find that when the white mist passes by the egg, small vortices will form around it, which seems to be absorbing Wu Gen's blood energy.
While he was sleeping soundly, Wu Gen felt something jumping on his body. When he opened his eyes, he saw a little monster with wrinkled skin, a pink body, and huge eyes, tilting its head and staring at him.
"Ghost." In a daze, Wu Gen jumped up. What a thing, it looked like a rat that hadn't even grown hair yet.
The little monster was thrown onto the bed, chirping aggrievedly, stumbling towards Wu Gen, rubbing his head against Wu Gen's legs.
He held it carefully in his hands, staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes. In an instant, Wu Gen had thousands of thoughts.
Who is it and why is it here? It definitely cannot be born by itself. Since it is not your own child, how does the meat taste? Is it braised in braised sauce or charcoal grilled? Do you add chili pepper...
Feeling Wu Gen's malice, the little monster pecked Wu Gen's nose hard with his soft beak, and the latter just woke up. When I saw the eggshell cracked in half on the bed, I suddenly realized that the holly bird was born.
Since then, Wu Gen has had a little follower beside him. No matter where he goes, this little holly follows him step by step, even keeping a close eye on him when he goes to the hut.
Holly birds like to eat meat, and will reluctantly swallow some fruits and the like when they are really hungry. As a result, Wu Gen had one more expense every day, making his already tight life even worse.
The Shenwu Academy was only responsible for the students' food and accommodation, and all other expenses were borne by themselves. Wu Gen had no choice but to run around Geshan every day, catching small animals and feeding them to the holly birds.
On this day, Wu Gen walked a little farther, and a large canyon appeared in front of him. There were strange trees in it, and there was only one path through it. At the mouth of the canyon, there are words "Stop here" written on it.
Stop? Haha, Wu Gen put the holly bird into the basket on his back and sneaked in quietly. That's how people are, those who don't want to do it just want to give it a try.
There are few people in the valley, and there are many birds and beasts in the forest. From time to time, strange monsters, big and small, jump under your feet.
After sneaking for a long time, a white straight cliff stood in the valley in the distance. There are caves carved into the stone wall. The entrances of the caves are blocked by thick iron doors, and the caves are connected by a winding plank road from top to bottom.
There are several houses built under the cliff. There are vegetable beds in front of the houses, and moths and butterflies are flying among them from time to time.
Looking around the surroundings, Wu Gen suddenly realized that this was where the prisoners of Shenwu Academy and several other courtyards were held.
It is the "birdcage" for students or villains.
Most of the iron doors of the caves on the wall are open, and it is obvious that no one is imprisoned in them. After all, several college students have extraordinary backgrounds, so how can they be detained here for a long time.
Just as he was about to exit, Wu Gen suddenly found two people coming from the depths of the valley, a man and a woman, who turned out to be Qi He and Feng'er. The two of them talked and laughed, walking with branches folded, their arms touching each other intentionally or unintentionally from time to time, but they were separated at the first touch.
Walking to the house under the stone wall, they all put down the baskets on their backs and placed the collected herbs one by one on the bamboo baskets to dry. Feng'er entered the house and soon brought out a pot of water. The two made tea and drank in front of the house.
One was an elegant and profound young talent, and the other was a graceful and pretty woman. They sat facing each other quietly like this. They didn't speak to each other. They only occasionally met their eyes and understood each other's thoughts.
Several white and goose-yellow butterflies fluttered over and danced beside the two of them, as if attracted by their sweet love.
"Bitch couple." Wu Gen cursed in a low voice. No wonder Qi He couldn't be seen these days, but it turned out that he came here to make love to each other. Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little jealous in his heart. He and Qian Hua were thousands of miles apart, but when they saw that they were together, they already had the beautiful woman in their arms, how could he not be irritated?
As for how Feng'er, who was supposed to be imprisoned in the cave, could move around, Wu Gen didn't bother to delve into it. He was not bored enough to disturb others. Just as he was about to turn around and return, a voice suddenly came from the cliff, "Hey, you two, please stop this. The sour smell is so overwhelming that I can't even open my eyes."
In a cave with a locked iron door on the cliff, a pair of hands stretched out. Compared with ordinary people, the fingers of these hands are much longer. Then a man with disheveled hair pressed his head against the iron door, "Boy, give me some more Sky Star Stones, and I won't tell you about letting people out of prison without permission."
Qi He raised his head and glanced at the man, but ignored him. He just said to Feng'er in a warm voice, "I'll go and see you later. Don't worry, I've taken care of the senior guards here. As long as they don't come out, You can come out and walk around at any time in the valley. Senior brother is coming back soon, I have to rush back."
Feng'er's eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly, "If you release me, I'm afraid someone in the courtyard will be dissatisfied with you, so it's better to come less often. Besides, it will take a long time to come, which will inevitably delay the practice."
Qi He smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't matter. Although you are imprisoned here, everyone understands that you are just imprisoning yourself. Don't worry, I will practice well. One day, I will welcome you out of this valley with dignity."
"Yeah." Feng'er's voice was barely audible.
Wu Gen kept watching Qi He walk out of the valley mouth, and then he took a deep breath and wandered out of the woods.
Feng'er was not surprised when she saw Wu Gen. She just stared at him coldly, "You still have the guts to appear in front of me. But there is no one to protect you at this time, so you are not afraid that I will kill you in my hand."
Wu Gen waved his hand casually, "Miss Feng'er, don't say such big words. With your methods, I'm afraid you may not be able to defeat me, but it will only aggravate your sins.
Besides, you are my best friend as well, so you probably want to make it difficult for him. Don't worry, I don't have any other intentions when I come here, and I don't mean to spy on you two. I just saw something strange about this place, so I came here to take a look. "
"Spying on others secretly is no different from a thief. I advise you to stay away from me, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but take action." Feng'er's face was as cold as frost, with murderous intent looming.
Just as Wu Gen was about to speak, the little Holly who was sleeping in the basket behind him was awakened by the murderous intention. Seeing that someone was doing something bad to Wu Gen, he jumped out of the basket regardless. Because his wings had just grown a layer of down, he had not yet learned to fly, so he fell several times before he stood up and screamed at Feng'er in a low voice, his hostility clearly visible.
Feng'er glanced at Dongqing and her expression moved slightly, "I didn't expect you to have such a strange beast. This bird is really a waste of nature as your mount."
Wu Gen picked up the holly bird and shook it provocatively, "Hey, I can't help it, I raised it. I don't dare to touch this flamingo like you, so I can only let my brother train it well, but I'm a little worried about him accidentally getting burned." Butt."
"Shameless." Feng'er scolded angrily.
Wu Gen, however, ignored him and walked directly to the cave where the man was imprisoned. This place actually
However, the presence of long-term prisoners aroused Wu Gen's curiosity.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, Wu Gen found that there were fine patterns carved on the iron door, which were obviously formations and the like. It's not surprising when you think about it. Anyone who can be here has some tricks. How can a mere iron gate be locked to trap people.
"Boy, give me Tianxingsha." The man slapped the iron door with his hand and shouted loudly. This man's hair was extremely long, covering most of his face, and the half of his face that was exposed was quite fair.
Wu Gen carefully squatted down at the door and looked inside through the iron door. The cave is not big, only the size of a room. Except for a stone bed, the rest of the cave is full of things. All kinds of weird and useless objects are piled together randomly.
Seeing that Wu Gen remained silent, the man felt a little anxious, "As long as you give me the Tianxing Sand, you can choose anything in it."
Wu Gen sneered and said, "Hey, Tianxingsha is so precious, I have to see if your junk is worth it." This man was crazy, but Wu Gen instinctively felt that this man was in danger, so he stopped a foot away from the iron gate. Come down.
The man blinked, pondered for a moment and then said hastily: "My name is Qiao Ban, now we know each other." As he said that, he turned around and took out a knife. The cold light was like water, making Wu Gen take a step back in fright.
"I don't want your Tianxingsha for nothing. These magical weapons are all made with great effort, and others are not allowed to even look at them. You see, this knife is a knife on the surface, but in reality it is a watering can. ." The bridge guard pointed the knife at Wu Gen, and a stream of water shot out from the knife, causing Wu Gen to flip over.
Poof, spitting out the water in his mouth, Wu Gen wiped his face and said quietly: "Do you believe that I can beat people up?"
"If you don't like it, then change it to another one." Ban Qiao dropped the knife...and the watering can, and took out another dark yellow flower. With a slight movement, the petals gradually opened, the sweet fragrance floated, and a burst of faint music came out, which was very pleasant to the ears.
Although this flower has no use, it would be a good decoration if placed in a woman's room. Wu Gen nodded slightly, and just as he was about to take a closer look, the flower suddenly grew larger and turned into a giant mouth, which swallowed Wu Gen's head in one mouthful and kept squirming.
Wu Gen was horrified and struggled desperately, reaching for the broken knife at his waist. Just as he was about to draw his sword, his eyes suddenly lit up. The giant mouth had retracted and turned into a delicate flower again. With a clang sound, Wu Gen drew the knife in his hand, took a few steps back, lifted up his clothes and wiped off the sticky layer on his face.
"This thing looks like a flower, but it is actually used for washing the face. It is called Mu Rong. When you wash your face with Mu Rong, you will have a fragrant fragrance and a fairy sound. After washing, your body will be as fragrant as jade. Isn't it beautiful? I usually I use it all the time, you see." Qiao Ban lifted the hair from his face, revealing his pale face, "It's good to use Mu Rong."
Seeing the man groping behind him again, Wu Gen shouted: "Stop, I know why you are locked up here."
