The next morning, Tang Ping got up very early and packed up quickly. In the past, she would go to her master, Fairy Guhuo, to speak to her before going out, but last time she was grounded because she was in danger outside and did not tell Fairy Guhuo. Now that it was time to go out again, Tang Ping stood in front of her. Looking at the door of the master's cave in front of his own door, he felt a little guilty. What if the master was still angry and wouldn't let him go out?
Just as she was thinking about whether to sneak away secretly, she saw her senior sister Ruoyu coming out of her master's cave.
Tang Ping quickly gestured to Ruoyuan and asked if the master was there and so on.
Ruoyan approached her with a smile and said, "Go in, Master knows you are going out today and is waiting for you."
"oh."
Tang Ping had no choice but to approach Fairy Guhuo's cave.
Sneaking on tiptoes, Tang Ping held the door open with her hands, revealing her eyes to secretly watch what was going on in Fairy Guhuo's room.
"Come in," Fairy Guhuo had already noticed how sneaky she was.
"Master" Tang Ping walked in very obediently.
"Is it the day for you to go out again?"
"Well, we have made an appointment to go out together today. Master, don't worry, we will definitely not mess around this time. If something happens, we will handle it appropriately and within our capabilities."
"Huh, you, you don't need to promise me these things. You only need to promise one thing. When you are in danger, I still have the things your Sixth Grandpa gave me. Don't be reluctant to use them. Those things are given to you to save your life." Yes, no matter how smart you are and how resourceful you are, it can only make up for your lack of strength. Remember, the weak often use their wisdom, while the strong only need to use force. You are not looking for someone to fight for your life, that is just because of your weakness. It is a kind of experience to become strong, and you can only become stronger if you are alive, do you understand?"
"Yes, thank you Master for your teaching."
"Well, go ahead."
…
With a roar, a huge guy with sharp claws jumped and turned around in the air. After his body was suspended in the air and his legs were together, he kicked hard on a hugging tree, "Crack" With a sound, the crown of the big tree trembled, and the trunk was broken by the kick. It tilted and fell down with a "crunch", and the big guy used the force of the recoil of the fierce kick to lift his body like an arrow from a string. It shot over, not only that, its thick right arm had already been full of strength, and it swung straight over in a ray of black light.
The target of its claw is Yan Xuan, who is squatting on the ground and carefully picking a spiritual grass.
Yanxuan seemed to be unprepared for the coming danger. He was using a small shovel to dig out all the roots of the spiritual grass bit by bit. The spiritual grass was in good shape and grew very big. In order to prevent the spiritual grass from falling to the ground when picking, Tang Ping also squatted aside and stretched out a hand to gently support the spiritual grass. However, Tang Ping did not pay attention to the big guy flying towards him. Her eyes glanced at a cluster of brightly colored wildflowers nearby.
Just when it seemed that Yanxuan had no way to hide, a large black shield appeared out of thin air and blocked her in front of her, directly facing the big guy's roaring claws!
The sharp claws immediately grasped the shield, making an unpleasant and harsh sound, and a few sparks of fire flashed from the shield.
This unpleasant sound made Yanxuan frown slightly, and he couldn't help but look back and glance at the shield beside him that was as motionless as a black wall.
Tang Ping, on the other hand, was not moved at all. She was thinking that those wild flowers were blooming so brightly and she would have to pick a few when she left.
This big guy's fierce attack was blocked by a shield. It was too hard and Qian Chao's shield was extremely hard. Now its claws were sore and it seemed that it had been injured. It just stopped and screamed to check. Suddenly, the big shield suddenly slammed forward, and with a "bang", the whole body of the big guy was knocked backwards.
"Haha, you're good to go!" Lu Pingchuan, who was chasing him, shouted happily when he saw it. He flew up towards the big guy and grabbed its long tail, and then followed the big guy in the air. The momentum of the collision caused the big guy to swing around in the air with a somersault, and then fell heavily to the ground with a "bang", causing smoke and dust to fly everywhere. The big guy was thrown into the ground and suffered severe pain all over his body. He was struggling to get up and escape. At that moment, a bit of cold light penetrated through the smoke, and the big guy's eyes sank into his head, and the big guy died instantly.
Seeing that the big guy was dead, Li Jian withdrew the spirit sword in his hand and gently shook away the blood on the sword.
Due to the shield of Qian Chao's large shield, the smoke and dust stirred up by Lu Pingchuan's fall did not rush to Yanxuan and Tang Ping. However, the clump of wild flowers that Tang Ping was interested in was completely submerged by the smoke and dust that rushed towards them. When the dust settled, those wild flowers were also stained with a lot of dust, which made Tang Ping feel pity in her heart and couldn't help complaining.
"Brother Lu, the noise you made was too loud."
"hey-hey"
Qian Chao had put away his shield at this time, but he had a shiny pair of scissors in his hand. When the monster started to jump out and attack people, he noticed that the monster had brown and black hair all over its body, except for the tip of its tail. The little hair seemed to be light white, which made Qian Chao's heart move. Now he had half a foot in the door of talismans. He was suffering from the lack of a good pen, so he saw the white fur on the tip of the monster's tail and thought. Take it off and use it to make a pen for drawing symbols. But Brother Lu just grabbed this guy's tail and swung it around, and then he hurried over to see if the tuft of white hair was still there.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Yanxuan had completely picked the spiritual grass at this time, so Tang Ping stood up. She was very curious when she saw Qian Chao holding scissors in his hand. She didn't know what Qian Chao was going to do. She also saw him approaching the tree with scissors. The monster followed.
"What else can I do? Of course I can get some hair and go back and try to make a pen."
"Are you just... using this white hair?" Tang Ping saw Qian Chao grabbing the tail of the monster, as if trying to cut off the white hair on the tip of the tail.
"Yes, the only hair color on its body is white, so it should be the best." Qian Chao replied.
"Haha!" Tang Ping couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Qian Chao asked curiously.
"Haha, hey, you are so funny, you think that this guy only has a little bit of white hair on his tail, so this white hair must be the best, right?"
"Isn't it?" Qian Chao became even more curious.
"Let me tell you, this guy's name is Evil-faced Tamarin, and his other name is Ugly Mandrill. This monster's fur was pure white when it was born. Well... it wasn't ugly at that time, but as it gets older, , it becomes uglier and uglier. The deeper the cultivation, the darker the coat color. In the end, the pure black coat is the most difficult to deal with. But as it grows, the coat color changes starting from the head and ending at the end. Well, the darker the hair, the better. You don’t take the brown and black hair from this guy, but you have to cut off the worst hair on the tip of the tail and use it. Who are you laughing at if you don’t laugh at me, ha!”
After hearing what Tang Ping said, Qian Chao angrily threw the monster tail in his hand to the ground.
"Hey, look at the top of its head. Take the darkest hair on the top of its head. The hair there is the best." Tang Ping pointed out to Qian Chao.
"oh"
…
It is now the second day of Qian Chao and others' outing. Thanks to Qian Chao's thorough homework every time he goes out, the five of them have gained a lot on the first day.
As for Qian Chao's homework, it was nothing more than a detailed study of the map. He had to check off the places he visited last time. He would definitely not go there again when he went out because the time was too short and there would be no spiritual grass there. Every time he grew up, he would always pick up places that he had never been to but were not too dangerous. Of course, they had to be places where there might be good things, and then he and his companions would go and find out. Speaking of which, before he came out this time, he carefully read the book given to him by Senior Sister Luo Ying, compared it with the map he drew, and selected a place that was not too far away and had a ruins. The main target was the ruins, and then he looked at the map for a long time, trying to figure out the general direction of the sect's spiritual veins along the way. In this way, he determined the route for this outing. Along this route, he should be able to find it on the road. A lot of spiritual herbs are enough.
Sure enough, on the first day he came out, Yanxuan discovered spiritual grass along the way. As the five people got farther and farther away from the sect, the spiritual grass gradually increased. The five people began to rise and fall in the mountains and forests, and then As the quality of the spiritual grass that was discovered was getting better and better, monsters began to pop up with the intention of harming them. Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian took the initiative to meet them and kill them.
The first day after coming out passed without any incident.
They continued to march the next day. Within half a day, Yanxuan found a good-quality spiritual grass beside a small mound at the foot of the mountain, and came to pick it. When Li Jian fell from the sky, he noticed that there was a monster lurking here. Then he gave a warning.
Just when Yanxuan took out the medicine hoe and shovel to pick the spiritual grass, there was a strange cry, and several evil ape-like monsters emerged from the small mound, and they rushed towards the people menacingly. come over.
"I'll do it!" Lu Pingchuan wished that none of his companions would take action, and then he could enjoy the pleasure of killing monsters.
Li Jian naturally knew Brother Lu's temper, so he really didn't move forward. He only watched from the side with his hands behind his back, but the hand behind his back already held a green bamboo branch.
Qian Chao stayed with Yanxuan to take care of him, while Tang Ping also stayed to help Yanxuan.
Yanxuan also saw those few monsters that suddenly came out, but they came out too many times, and she no longer cared about the good quality of the monsters. Brother Li and Brother Lu were enough to get rid of them. So she only took one look at it, and then settled down to pick this spiritual grass that made her very satisfied.
But this time Lu Pingchuan was a little playful, and he accidentally let a monster escape. Seeing Yan Xuan picking the spiritual grass, the monster ignored Lu Pingchuan's entanglement and faced Yan directly. Xuan started, and then Qian Chao used his big shield to block the monster's claws, and then Li Jian stabbed the monster to death with his sword.
Lu Pingchuan followed Qian Chao with a storage bag. After watching Qian Chao cut off some hair on the head of each monster, he put the monster into the bag.
"Hey! I'm still so comfortable. I don't have to think about any unfinished tasks or where to pick spiritual herbs. It's great now. We can go wherever we want, ha!"
Lu Pingchuan felt very free without having to do anything.
Tang Ping smiled and shook her head after hearing this. After looking at the small mound, she asked: "Brother Lu, where did this guy jump out from just now? Why can't he find the cave where he is hiding?"
"Huh?" After hearing this, Lu Pingchuan quickly looked around. They had been fighting fiercely just now. Lu Pingchuan only remembered that the monster jumped out suddenly, but he couldn't remember where it came from.
"Here" Li Jian remembered, pointing with his hand.
Qian Chao knew that Tang Ping's reason for asking about the beast's lair was because he was afraid that there might be something good inside. If he didn't take a look, he might miss it, so he followed the direction of Li Jian's finger and found it behind a dead tree. A hole that only allows one person to shrink into.
When he bent down from the entrance of the cave to go in, Qian Chao hesitated. It was not that there was danger in the cave. Li Jian had already signaled that the cave was safe, but Qian Chao smelled something at the entrance of the cave. There is a fishy, suffocating smell. Most of the monster beast's lairs smell bad, not to mention the monster beast lairs that live together in groups. The smell is really wonderful!
In the end, Qian Chao was so cruel that he got in. Tang Ping originally wanted to follow him in, but she covered her mouth and nose at the entrance of the cave. Seeing Yan Xuan, who was confused, he also came over and grabbed her. He said it was too unpleasant and backed away from Yanxuan.
Qian Chao held his breath in the cave. A piece of yellow-light talisman in his hand illuminated the cave around him. However, after searching around, he could only see some scattered skeletons on the ground in the cave. They should be The beasts that had died in the mouth of the evil-faced tamarin were just gravel and weeds, and then nothing else.
After a while, Tang Ping, who was outside, felt that Qian Chao had stayed inside for a long time, so he shouted to the entrance of the cave: "Hey, Qian boy, is there anything good in there?"
"Wait a minute" Qian Chao's voice came from the entrance of the cave.
"It smells so bad, does he like the smell?" Tang Ping muttered.
At this time, Qian Chao's voice came from inside the cave entrance:
"That's wrong!"
After hearing this, Tang Ping's first reaction was to look at Li Jian beside her. Seeing that Li Jian's expression was still as usual, she felt relieved. If there was danger in the cave, Li Jian would probably notice it earlier than Qian Chao in the cave.
But if there is no danger in the cave, then what is wrong with Mr. Qian in there?
Could it be that some treasure was found inside?
Thinking of this, Tang Ping immediately became energetic. She carefully moved closer to the entrance of the cave and shouted, "Hey, Mr. Qian, what's in there? What's wrong?"
Tang Ping's words made everyone outside the cave curious.
"Wait a minute, I'm going out right now." Qian Chao's voice came from the entrance of the cave again.
Immediately, the four people outside noticed that about a foot away from the hole where Qian Chao got in, there was a bulge of earth and rocks. It seemed that something was trying to come out from under the earth and was pushing upwards hard, and then But with a "hulong", the earth and rocks there collapsed, revealing another hole. This hole was about the same size as the hole Qian Chao got into before, and then Qian Chao's face emerged from the hole.
There was just one more hole. Tang Ping was puzzled. What was wrong with this? The cunning rabbit had three caves. What was so strange about the monster's lair having more escape holes? She couldn't help but ask. He said, "Is that all? There's just one more hole. What's wrong?"
Qian Chao didn't answer. He just looked up and down at the entrance of the cave. He seemed to be worried that he would be stained with more mud when he emerged from the new hole. He stepped back and then came out of the original hole.
Seeing Qian Chao coming out, Tang Ping hurriedly approached and asked, "How's it going? What good things are there... Hmm! You smell really bad!"
"If you go in and stay for a while, it will smell like this. There is nothing inside, just some broken bones that the guy ate...but"
Qian Chao said this, then turned around and looked at the two holes before continuing:
"Look, what do these two cave entrances look like?"
After listening to Qian Chao's words, several people went to look at the two cave entrances. However, after looking for a while, no one seemed to be able to tell anything weird about the two cave entrances.
"Hey, it's just two cave entrances, Brother Qian, what's the difference?" Lu Pingchuan couldn't understand and couldn't help but ask.
The two holes were not regular and complete circles. If only one was exposed, there would be nothing weird about it. It was just a hole for monsters to enter and exit, but Qian Chao opened another hole inside. , if you look closely, you will find that although the two openings are not regular circles, there is a symmetrical shape between the two openings. This is a weird thing that is not easy to find.
Tang Ping gradually noticed this strangeness, and the look of confusion on her face was gradually replaced by an expression of disbelief. Then it was Li Jian, who also noticed this difference.
But Yanxuan and Lu Pingchuan still haven't found any clues.
Seeing the change in the expression on Tang Ping's face, Qian Chao asked, "Does it look like him?"
Tang Ping nodded slowly and said, "There is some resemblance, but...can it be dug out?"
"Of course," Qian Chao said, taking out the pick and hoe he used to dig ore from his storage bag, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"What does it look like?" Yanxuan asked still puzzled.
"Two eyes." Li Jian said from the side.
