On a stone platform in the forest, an eye-catching flying tiger that can make children cry at the foot of the mountain is lying there lazily. The moonlight shines on it. If it weren't for the upturned eyes of the tiger, there is a fierce and lazy look from time to time. It's not an exaggeration to say that it looks like a large lynx.
Next to Feihu was a man with a handsome face, wearing a light yellow robe with dots of blood azaleas embroidered on it. His long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and his face was expressionless.
He was half-leaning next to Feihu, his hand gently stroking the white pattern on the tiger's forehead from time to time, looking at Ningyang City where only dots could be vaguely seen in the distance.
"Have all the personnel been deployed?"
he asked softly.
"The situation of each medicinal field has been investigated clearly, and the route of transporting medicinal materials has been confirmed many times, and it can be guaranteed to be correct nine times out of ten, including the alternate routes and transport personnel. They are all recorded one by one. Within one day, Ningyang and Ningyang can communicate with each other. We have lost contact with Dalong Mountain." From the shadows, a man with a vague face walked out and whispered.
"If Heaven wants to make it die, it must first make it crazy. Before the Great Purdue Heavenly Daoists completely arrive, it will be exhausted mentally and physically, and it is not bad to be anxious and angry." The man commented.
"It's just that there seems to be something wrong with Master Jizhen in the city. If the two Ningyang surnames or the commander of Zhou Shengjun find out, will it have an impact on our plan?" Shadow seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a while.
The forces in Ningyang can be simply divided into two surnames and one army. The Xu family controls the south, and the Wang family guards the east. They are all influential in all walks of life in Ningyang. The other small forces, such as some boxing gyms, trading houses, and gangs, must look up to them. Survive.
The first army refers to the Zhou Shengjun. Every city above the county level must have an army and government force. The army leader must have the blood of the Zhou royal family and control the city's law enforcement, commercial taxation, transportation and other duties.
The three cooperate to manage the entire Ningyang.
Jizhen was charged with the important task of using various means in the city to dismantle the fortress.
The man shook his head and said casually,
“Everything is doomed, no matter how many twists and turns it takes, it is just a necessary test. All we need to do is wait and be patient.
So what if Ningyang knew? The top warriors from the three families who have established their lives and above have all gathered in Huaiping County and gone to the outside world on the other side of Luojia Mountain. There are only a few strong ones left. Whether they know it or not is no longer important. When Zuo Shi arrives with three thousand Taoists, , Ningyang will surely become the first spark before the great cause of fire. "
He was very confident, and his tone was full of enthusiasm.
Yes, with three thousand Taoists cooperating with the Pudu Zuo Envoy, plus two Dharma Kings, even Ningyang in its heyday might not be able to cope with it, let alone now that the main force is involved in Huaiping.
The man in the shadow looked at the familiar lights of thousands of houses at the foot of the mountain. He couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart, but he became firm again in an instant.
When people from outside the world completely come, all the things in the world can only be truly transported to the other side through the burning of fire, and welcome pure new life. During this period, those who resist tenaciously and do not understand the current affairs will only be crushed into pieces in the rolling waves. The coming world is going to be a great grind.
Isn't that what happened to the Great Zhou Dynasty, which entrusted nine states, established towns on three rivers, and occupied Panchi County for thousands of years?
So he is right.
.....................
It gets dark relatively early in August and September, and martial arts practitioners eat faster, probably around the time of a cup of tea.
After dinner, Xu Guowen had something to do and left, so he sent someone to take Lin Mo and the two to the pharmacy. Each of them was given a large jar of tiger bone wine as a reward for being ranked first in the martial arts evaluation, and then they were sent out of the inner palace.
"When you reach the bone refining realm, you can apply for the white-shirted pharmacist assessment, and then you can live in the inner palace forever." Li Yuanze reluctantly looked at the smaller and smaller entrance to the inner palace, and said as if to encourage himself.
"That should be pretty fast. Didn't the Hall Master say that after drinking the monkey wine and working harder at night, the muscles may be smoothed and the bones will be refined in a short time?" Lin Mo looked at Cheng. Half a tiger bone in the yellow wine, while casually responding.
Some of the bones in this wine were surprisingly large. They looked like finger bones, but they were as big as a normal human arm bone. It was hard to imagine how big the tiger was when it was alive.
"You think it's easy. The journey of martial arts is only getting more and more difficult step by step. Even though we have been apprentices for one month, three or four punches have become the norm. We think bone refining is very simple. That's because everyone who can come is talented. , coupled with the assistance of special essential oils, among those gangs of casual cultivators, it would be good to be able to complete the muscle opening in three years, let alone bone refining." Li Yuanze shook his head and disagreed.
Being poor in literature and rich in martial arts is the norm.
Why do they work so hard to perform in martial arts evaluations and practice hard? Isn’t it because of the regular supply of essential oils? After evaluation, they will be assigned to different job systems based on their qualifications. The resources vary greatly and the gap will become wider and wider.
"You may have high talent in the Tongjin Realm, and you can barely make enough with the resources allocated by the pharmacy, but in the Bone Refining Realm, if you just eat the Death Moon Feng rigidly, it will definitely not be enough.
After all, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and move the bones, but breaking the bones is still the same as breaking the muscles. "Li Yuanze's meaning is hard to understand, he said quietly.
After saying that, he patted Lin Mo's shoulder and said, "This can of tiger bone wine weighs two kilograms. Based on the effect alone, it is even comparable to dozens of Zhuanggu Powder. At least in the superficial bone stage, no additional resources are needed. The value is better than It’s as big as you can imagine.”
After thinking about it, he glanced around and added, "If someone asks you for it, don't give it away easily. If you really can't afford it, come to me as soon as possible and negotiate more terms together."
After saying that, he waved his hand, turned a corner, turned into an alley, and disappeared.
Thinking about Li Yuanze's words, Lin Mo looked at the tiger bone wine in his hand again.
He had heard of Zhuang Gu Powder, which was a commonly used medicine in the Bone Refining Realm, similar to the essential oils in the Tendon Tong Realm.
From what I just said, it seems that the Bone Refining Realm is more difficult and consumes more resources. Therefore, the value of this bottle of wine is not astonishing. It may even make some people covet it?
He shook his head and carefully hid the wine in his arms. Because he was tall, it was not obvious that he had multiple bottles of wine in his arms.
In the evening, when I was walking home, the entire South Street was still very lively. Of course, the vegetable vendors were gone. At this time, everyone had sold out and went home. The remaining ones were selling food and having fun. For example: sugar painting, candied haws, barbecue, acrobats, goldfish fishing, etc. From time to time, sergeants holding steel knives patrol by.
Went directly to the night market.
If we were in the former slums, we wouldn't be able to see this scene.
Leaving the hustle and bustle, Lin Mo walked home. The location where he lived was located in an alley near the Xicheng District of South Street. It was not that lively. Several dogs barking and men cursing could be heard in the distance.
Passing by a kebab stall, Lin Mo's stomach growled as he listened to the sizzling sound and the strong aroma of meat. He imagined the indescribable encounter between the fat and thin pieces of meat under the high temperature and the special chili powder, and finally the spicy oil splashed out. , he thought about it as he originally walked over, then slowly walked back.
"Boss, here are fifty skewers of beef, twenty skewers of pork belly, twenty skewers of crispy bones, five skewers of kidneys, um, grill five more eggplants, add more peppers, and bake the pork belly crispier." Lin Mo opened his mouth and skillfully Submit a request.
"Okay, I guarantee your satisfaction."
The boss is a fat man with a white face and eyes as small as mung beans. He always talks with a smile and deep dimples. He wears a felt hat and looks festive.
It just so happened that there was no business right now, so the baking was quite fast. Lin Mo estimated that it would be done in another ten minutes or so.
While waiting, the two of them chatted.
Lin Mo learned that the owner of this barbecue stall was not originally from Ningyang, but from the nearby Sanhe County. He had been selling barbecue for three generations. Naturally, there was some inheritance of the craft, and the whole family could rely on it to make a living. But last year, there was an animal disaster. , even though Zhou Shengjun united with the local forces in Sanhe City to rescue him, he still couldn't survive, and eventually fled to Ningyang.
"But what kind of beast disaster is it? It stands to reason that Sanhe is about the same size as Ningyang. If Zhou Shengjun takes the lead, it won't be impossible to suppress it." Lin Mo asked doubtfully.
The boss shook his head, with a wry smile on his face. He adjusted his hat, scooped up a spoonful of chili and sprinkled it on the eggplant, wiped his hands and said:
"The beast disaster has become a disaster. It must be fierce. There are even powerful mountain beasts leading the way. We were actually transferred in advance. I only remember that the beasts that covered the sky and the sun were all flying in the sky and running on the ground.
Hehe, the earth was trembling at that time! Later I heard that the towns near the mountains and forests were completely gone! "
Speaking of this, the boss sounded a little sad. Most people were still very unhappy when they were forcibly transferred. After all, leaving their hometown and starting over was not as easy as it sounds. The desolation and helplessness in their hearts is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
But there was news that my hometown was completely covered up like an earth dragon, and I was very happy again.
"It's difficult in this world. Here, sir, I've collected your string."
Lin Mo also felt a little unsure of what he was feeling. It sounded heavy, but it didn't sink in him. After all, he felt a little worse. He nodded, took the skewer, put the money on the table, turned around and left.
"Sir, you gave me too much money."
Hearing the rapid footsteps behind him, Lin Mo turned his head, waved his hand, saw the fat figure stopped, bowed, nodded, quickened his pace, and headed back.
"Educate all sentient beings and bring blessings in the next life!"
"Educate all sentient beings and bring blessings in the next life!"
This was followed by intensive footsteps and yelling.
As he walked into the house, there was a faint sound from the Xicheng District, and then gradually disappeared. Lin Mo thought thoughtfully, shook his head, carried the skewers, and walked into the house.
