Several children were playing at the entrance of the border town, but one of them was a little absent-minded, looking in the direction of the desert from time to time.
Then he rubbed his eyes, and there were a lot of people coming towards him in the distance.
When he realized he was right, a smile appeared on his face and he licked his lips. The toffee from half a month ago seemed to still have some sweetness.
The companion looked even more panicked and wanted to pull him to run towards the town, but the child stood stubbornly, as if waiting for something.
Seeing this, the other children ran away, leaving him alone.
The border patrol returned to Jinshawan. After feeling the crowds, many people shouted, and Mr. Zheng even cried with joy.
The team stopped at the entrance of the town, and it was now time to part ways.
Qin Bai couldn't help but smile when he saw the waiting child. He took out a handful of White Rabbit toffee from his arms and threw it over, and then rode on his donkey to leave.
Wang Sheng quickly stopped him: "Brother Qin, I wonder if you are interested in joining the army. It will not be difficult to get ahead with your ability."
Qin Bai took out the Coke gourd and took a sip, and said in a free and easy tone: "No, I'm not interested in this."
Wang Sheng laughed dumbly: "Yes, you are a famous scholar..."
"Hahaha, I just want to walk around."
Qin Bai laughed and responded. The world is so colorful, and even immortality is just a scenery on the roadside. It would be a bit boring to stay in one place.
"Goodbye Jianghu!!"
He clamped his legs around the donkey and headed south, quickly disappearing behind the slope.
Wang Sheng looked at Qin Bai's back, a little envy flashed in his eyes. He had never thought about fighting with a sword in the world.
"We should go too." Pang Yong didn't think about staying. After this trip to the desert, he planned to settle down.
Wang Sheng opened his mouth but did not stop him. He just patted the other party on the shoulder: "You must take care of yourself."
"Take care..."
The team separated. Although they went their own way, there was always a chance to meet each other.
Qin Bai did not choose to go to the town to recuperate, just because he had a better place to go.
I was too pressed for time on the way here so I didn't stay long, so now I'm just in time to experience the so-called retreat in the mountains.
After riding a donkey and escaping into the mountains for more than half a day, he found a valley and the familiar sound of water flowing into his ears.
Qin Bai got off the donkey and pushed aside the branches and shrubs with his hands. In front of him was a waterfall flowing down.
The yellowish river water hit the rocks, suddenly splashing a lot of water, and underneath was a pool of more than ten meters with countless fish swimming in it.
There is a cave not far away, which is a good place for temporary retreat.
Qin Bai's appearance frightened several deer drinking water on the shore, and they fled into the jungle in a hurry.
The nearby birds raced away, and the sounds of wild monkeys' cries were mixed in.
There was some movement in the cave, but Qin Bai didn't care. He simply took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.
I didn't take a bath when I was in the desert. Although the circulation of zhen qi can reduce the dirt, it is inevitable that my hair will be unkempt.
The donkey also jumped into the water, but it was much dirtier than Qin Bai. Once it entered the water, it was like ink entering it, and the black color spread at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Qin Bai cursed secretly and hurriedly swam to the bottom of the waterfall. Under the poison of the donkey, a layer of backstroke fish floated on the water.
I originally thought about fishing, but now I can't hope for it.
After being thoroughly washed, he returned to the shore, and all the fatigue accumulated along the way disappeared.
At this time, a black shadow in the cave rushed towards him. When it revealed its figure, it was a black bear with the head two meters tall.
Qin Bai stretched his waist and his breath was exposed. Black Bear was startled when he felt it. He turned around and ran away faster than when he came.
Qin Bai rushed forward quickly, grabbed the back of the black bear's neck and lifted it up.
This black bear was obviously a bit stupid. After realizing that it could not escape, it reluctantly tried to attack Qin Bai, but the impact on him caused slight pain in the palm of his hand.
Qin Bai kicked its butt a few times and threw it to the ground. The black bear immediately became more obedient. Seeing this, the donkey next to him made a mocking cry.
The two immediately became enemies. The black bear had never suffered such injustice. He immediately became angry and rushed towards the donkey. Qin Bai did not stop him, but watched with interest.
I thought they were evenly matched, but the result was quite unexpected.
The donkey's hoof hit the opponent's forehead. The black bear squatted down, covering his head with both hands, and couldn't stop the tears from flowing down.
Qin Bai didn't expect that the donkey's strength would improve so rapidly without knowing it, and it could bully the wild beasts in the mountains.
The donkey shook its head proudly, and then heard Qin Bai's tut. It suddenly recalled the fact that it was a food reserve, and immediately gave the black bear another hoof on the head.
The black bear fainted, with a big swelling on his head, and his body was still twitching from time to time.
"Brother Donkey, please pay more attention to wild beasts other than black bears."
The donkey nodded, with a simple and honest smile on its face, and all the tacit understanding was unspoken.
Qin Bai nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the cave.
The cave is not deep, and it reaches the end within a few meters. There are some weeds and dead wood inside, and there are a few bats on the stone wall above the head.
He showed some momentum, and immediately the bats seemed to have discovered their natural enemies and fled, and the snakes and insects on the ground also crawled out one after another.
Since he planned to retreat here, Qin Bai naturally did not intend to wrong himself.
He immediately cleaned up the cave, first laying a layer of carpet, and then taking out all kinds of furniture.
The lighting fixtures were also replaced a little. After everything was completed, the living conditions were no worse than five-star.
At this time, there was some movement outside the cave, and Qin Bai understood it and started to prepare the dishes.
After a while, thick black smoke came out of the cave.
When Qin Bai came out with the cauldron, many animals gathered outside the cave, but most of them were herbivorous beasts.
Without exception, every animal has several big bumps on its head, and the donkey is standing proudly in front of them.
"Brother Donkey, you did a great job." Qin Bai touched the donkey's head, then turned to look at the animals.
"Come on, let's have dinner..."
The huge pot was filled with unknown unknown pieces that were pitch black and exuded a strange smell.
The animal was forced to eat due to the threat, but as the food was swallowed, it could clearly feel the changes in itself, and it immediately ate faster.
This is the brilliance of Qin Bai. Staying in the city can only limit his performance, and it is not as comfortable as being in seclusion in the wilderness.
However, although his routine worked, the points provided were not as generous as Qin Bai imagined.
The main reason is that most beasts have insensitive tastes, their likes and dislikes cannot be distinguished, and the satisfaction of diners is not high, but it is still better than working as a cook in a town.
After eating, Qin Bai let the beast go. Regardless of whether there were repeat customers, he did not intend to keep it at the entrance of the cave.
There will inevitably be some smell when eating, drinking, and eating. If it doesn't work, let the donkey bring back some wild animals.
Qin Bai returned to the cave and began to practice, constantly circulating his true energy to form the Great Zhoutian.
He found that as he got closer and closer to the perfection of refining Qi, his Qi had become thicker and thicker, with scarlet red mixed with rust color.
The paper figure drowsily opened her eyes from Qin Bai's arms. Her own yin energy had become much stronger due to this period of sleeping, and all the scratches on the surface had been restored.
Because it was dark, the paper man absorbed the surrounding yin energy on his own initiative, changed his position and fell asleep again.
Early the next morning, several animals appeared outside the cave. Their intelligence was obviously much higher than that of their companions. They were squatting in the same position as yesterday, waiting for their meal.
However, Qin Bai kept practicing until the evening before cooking some dishes and bringing them out. The retreat was naturally focused on cultivation, and he still divided the priorities.
A few days passed like this, Qin Bai gradually got used to the ordinary life, and his energy became stable.
Next, it was time to try making paper figures, and this time he took out the remaining three pieces of bark paper.
The main reason is that the cooking category has been unlocked in the points mall, and there is no shortage of all kinds of animal skins, so there is no need to save materials.
The Paper Man was free in the cave and much more active than in the town. She felt that the bark paper was very close to her, so she jumped on it and rolled around.
Qin Bai found it a bit funny, so he picked up the paper man and put it aside. The paper man tried to draw out his paper sword to fight back, but missed.
She suddenly realized something. Her weapon had been destroyed. She spread her hands and started crying.
(╥﹏╥)
"Aren't I ready to make arrangements for you?"
Qin Bai touched her head, and the paper man immediately stopped crying and looked up expectantly.
Today is different from the past. Qin Bai was able to draw skillfully, and Lu Pan's pen was much easier to use than the previous talisman pen. The whole process was extremely smooth from beginning to end.
Soon the runes on the paper sword were engraved. This sword was prepared for the paper man, so certain changes were naturally made.
The sword is wider and may be slightly slower in speed, but Paper Man can use this to defend against some attacks.
With the injection of Qin Bai's true energy, the paper sword was completed. It was indeed slightly different from Huang Qiong's sword. The whole sword was milky white and translucent in color. It looked like a milk popsicle, so it was directly named "Milk Stick" by him. "Yes."
The Paper Man liked it very much and couldn't put it down while holding it in his hand. He kept rubbing his little face against the sword.
After playing with it for a while, she spit out some Yin Qi from her mouth and refined the milk stick into a magic weapon.
The milk stick gradually shrinks in the paper man's hand and looks more like a milk popsicle.
She held the milk stick and made babbling gestures to Qin Bai for a long time.
Qin Bai reacted belatedly and couldn't laugh or cry. The paper man wanted him to make another ordinary paper sword for him.
The only problem they have is that they are both afraid of damaging the flying sword.
Qin Bai quickly made an ordinary paper sword and handed it to the paper man, then drove the children aside to play.
And he continued to draw, this time choosing to practice with yellow paper first.
He was very familiar with the Paper Man Technique, so he planned to make some changes. Fortunately, it was not difficult, so Qin Bai found the method after trying for more than an hour.
Without hesitation, he took a piece of bark paper and started carving it. Anyway, even if he failed, he would still have one.
But what he didn't expect was that this time it went more smoothly than Qin Bai imagined, and the paper man who had made the change was quickly finished.
I saw a paper fox smaller than the paper man appearing on the table. It was also amber-like in color and looked extremely exquisite.
The paper figure was attracted, and she carefully touched the fox's head with her hand, but there was no reaction at all.
She pointed at the fox and asked Qin Bai to move it.
Qin Bai took out the Yin card, which exuded a faint coolness. He used his spiritual thoughts to draw out the soul in it, and then integrated it into the paper fox.
After a few minutes, the paper fox's long ears moved and its tail began to wag. However, her situation was the same as that of the paper figure. Her soul was deeply traumatized and her memory had long been lost.
The paper man hugged the paper fox with a happy face, as if he had obtained his own pet.
It's just that the current paper fox's spirituality has not yet been born, so it is a bit dull.
As for what the last piece of bark paper should be used for, Qin Bai had already made plans and simply tried to depict the Taiyin Formation.
He first made the bark paper into the appearance of the paper house, and then planned a rough plan to depict the lunar array.
After a long period of careful consideration, Qin Bai exchanged materials for the Taiyin Formation from the points mall, then ground it into powder and mixed it with his own blood.
He concentrated on using Lu Pen's brush to paint a little.
Facts have proved that this idea is extremely feasible. As the texture on the bark paper becomes more and more complete, a faint yin energy emanates from it.
The paper fox felt that the paper house was of great benefit to her, and instinctively headed towards the paper house, but was stopped by the paper man.
Carving the Taiyin Formation was a test for Qin Bai, but it took more than a day or two for him to prepare, and the lines had already been engraved in his mind.
This process lasted for a long time. When it was completely completed, Qin Bai collapsed on the chair, his whole body soaked with sweat.
The entire paper house is silver gray. Although it is in the style of an ancient Chinese building, it is more like an exquisite toy.
The Taiyin Formation has already exerted some effect, and Yin Qi is constantly gathering into it even indoors.
The paper man led the paper fox to open the door and walked in. There was nothing inside, and she immediately protested to Qin Bai.
Qin Bai had no choice but to make some simple paper furniture and put it in the house.
After the paper man and the paper fox moved in, Qin Bai injected some vitality into the paper house, and then under the control of his mind, the paper house automatically folded into a flat surface.
The Taiyin Formation is very mysterious. In addition to gathering yin, it also contains some space techniques. From now on, he can put all the paper figures he makes into the paper house, which is very convenient.
Qin Bai, the paper sword, had other plans. He planned to carve the Taiyin Formation on the fish bag and refine a magical weapon for storing and releasing the paper sword.
