Miao Xinjiang is hot and rainy all year round, and the seasonal temperature difference is not obvious.
This also allows a large number of insects to breed, and the biological community alternates extremely quickly, inhabiting a large number of animals and plants.
Under such circumstances, Qin Bai had no choice but to go there wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat. Any mount seemed inappropriate.
Unless you can unlock some vehicles in the points mall in the future, or rely on fishing magical powers, you should just keep walking.
That's why he didn't take the donkeys with him.
And just relying on your own foot strength is enough. It is an exaggeration to say that you can travel a thousand miles a day, but a hundred miles is definitely enough.
Unfortunately, because of the aquarium, Qin Bai stopped and went, and it took him a lot longer than originally planned to get close to Miao Jiang's location.
The aquarium is undergoing drastic changes, and it would be an understatement to describe it as earth-shaking.
The signs of demonization on the desert island are even worse. Even the animals and plants on it have undergone mutations, and without exception, they are moving in the direction of the demon.
Qin Bai originally planned to suppress this phenomenon, but he soon discovered that the demonized plants had covered the entire desert island in just ten days, so he let nature take its course as it was beneficial and harmless.
The half-demon on the island are immune to demonic energy and are extremely adaptable to the environment. With Qin Bai covering them, they have even established a tribe.
This island was named Demon Island by Qin Bai, and it will be specially used to house monsters in the future.
Qin Bai was not satisfied that there was only one island in the aquarium, so he moved the demon island from the center to a more peripheral place in order to make room for the other islands.
Under his control, two new islands are gradually taking shape. Although the process is not fast, it is better than stability.
One of the islands is made of yin soil. The pure black geology is naturally suitable for ghosts. The yin energy on it is overwhelming, like substance.
Qin Bai named this island Ghost Island, which is like the Antarctic and Antarctic continents of the earth.
In order to prevent the two islands from being adjacent to each other, he separated a smaller island in the middle.
This island seemed deserted, but in fact the soil was covered with swords. Some of them were exchanged by Qin Bai from the points mall, and many of them were collected on daily basis.
The island is called Sword Island, which not only refers to the sword inserted in the soil, but he also wants to use the island to cultivate flying swords.
The inspiration actually came from the secret books in the palace of health preservation, one of which recorded Taoist priest Xiaoyao's technique of making swords out of plants.
This technique was of little use to Qin Bai, but it gave him inspiration.
Since natural enemies can breed flying swords, even aquariums can do the same.
When Qin Bai was on the road, he inscribed on the sword island the formation that cultivated the flying sword.
As long as it reaches a certain level, a larger formation will be formed, turning the entire island into a giant sword bag.
Qin Bai included all the flying swords and found that they fit better than he imagined.
Compared with magic weapons, the upper limit of the island's use as an inscription magic circle is naturally higher, and the number of flying swords it can accommodate can also be greatly increased.
The only troublesome thing is that from then on, Qin Bai had to rely on his mouth to retract and release the flying sword. Undoubtedly, his style of painting became even weirder.
Of course, this is still the first step in his idea. He plans to integrate the Ten Thousand Soul Banner into the ghost island. There are not many technical difficulties. Qin Bai is more worried that Yin Shen's strength will increase too quickly and lead to loss of control.
Fortunately, according to his idea, as long as the dragon fish is sacrificed and refined into its original name, Gu, all problems can be solved.
In this semi-cultivation state, Qin Bai unknowingly approached the Miao border, but he was much slower.
There is an area on the outskirts of Miao territory called Kunmi, which is located in a dense forest. Even in densely populated towns, there are still many poisonous insects.
It seems that only here can there be annoying mosquitoes in all seasons.
With Qin Bai's cultivation level, he was naturally not afraid. Even if he let go of his body-protecting energy, it would still be impossible for mosquitoes to break through his skin.
In order to complete the aquarium, he even swallowed a lot of insects. Although most of them died because they could not adapt to the environment, some of them survived.
Having arrived at the destination, Qin Bai tried to integrate the Ten Thousand Soul Banner into the ghost island.
The magic weapon is suspended over the island, and the runes are breaking away from the main body of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in a very mysterious way.
Yin gods began to be active on the islands, but because of their special characteristics, they seemed like military bases.
Qin Bai estimated that it would take more than half a month to completely integrate the runes, and during this period, Yin Shen would not be able to be used.
The ghost island can nurture the underworld, which means that the paper man can be included in it, but he plans to open up a small island attached to it.
Qin Bai used Feijian's search to quickly find the people.
This is a town called Yanhu County. Most of the residents are not Han Chinese, and there are few ways to get there on weekdays. His arrival immediately caused some waves.
The officers and soldiers at the city gate did not make things difficult for him, which also made Qin Bai's attempt to take out his official documents useless.
But when he entered the town, he seemed a little out of place, no matter how he dressed or behaved, or even when he tried to treat others with a smile.
In addition, the local dialect was extremely convoluted, and he couldn't understand it at all, and he had no idea what those people were talking about.
Qin Bai had a slight headache. He found that if he wanted to go deep into the mountains to go to the Miao territory, he would probably not be able to communicate with the Miao people, and it would be even more difficult to obtain the Gu refining technique.
So he had to at least wait until he found a guide who was proficient in the Miao language in Kunmi, otherwise it would be useless to enter the mountains.
But here comes the problem. This place is inexplicably repulsive to outsiders. Wherever he goes, residents stare at him from the streets.
Qin Bai casually found a booth and sat down.
The stall owner is a sixty-year-old woman who sells snacks similar to rice noodles. Qin Bai chose this stall not because of its fragrant smell...
Well, that’s part of the reason.
The main reason is that the old woman looks like a Han Chinese, so she probably has not lived in Kunmi for generations.
When Qin Bai sat down, the old woman took the initiative to talk. Although her accent was still a bit difficult to understand, she could understand the meaning at least.
"Young man, please wait a moment, the rice and noodles are in the pot."
"Okay, thank you ma'am."
Qin Bai was not in a hurry to chat with the other party, but observed the surroundings intentionally or unintentionally.
There are many passers-by on the street, but children are rarely seen. Even if there are a few occasionally, they are driven back by their families.
Could it be that something happened here?
Qin Bai showed some interest on his face. I am familiar with this business. No matter what kind of monster it is, I can help wherever there is difficulty. I don’t charge anyone for a stitch.
After a while, rice noodles were placed on the table.
The tangy aroma filled the air. When Qin Bai took a sip, he first felt the tip of his tongue was slightly spicy, and then the original flavors of various ingredients poured into his mouth.
This is very similar to the cross-bridge rice noodles of later generations. In addition, there is not much difference between sour bamboo shoots and snail noodles. It is indeed well-deserved.
After Qin Bai sat down, his tall body suddenly became less intimidating, and he felt that the eyes looking at him were not as frequent as before.
Seeing this he struck up a conversation with the old woman, who was a little formal at first, but soon became eloquent.
Qin Bai took the opportunity to chat with the old woman, trying to get something out of her.
But he didn't expect that the old woman was very tight-lipped. She had eaten five or six bowls of rice and noodles, but she couldn't ask anything.
Only then did Qin Bai realize that although the people here in Kunmi seemed to be loyal and honest, in reality they were more monkey-like than the others and were extremely xenophobic.
This is only the outskirts of the Miao territory. There are a small number of Han Chinese and mixed-race people living in Yanhu County. If you go deeper into the Miao territory, the Miao people you encounter will be even more difficult to deal with.
After paying the money for the rice noodles, he turned around and left the stall, then found a deserted alley and went in.
When Qin Bai came out again, he was dressed like a salesman and was carrying a large cargo box.
There were some useless small items in the cargo box, which he obtained through his daily fishing powers.
In this way, even if Qin Bai's body shape is different from ordinary people, walking around the town will not attract criticism.
And since you want to sell goods, you have to be professional, so the boxes cannot be used for decoration.
Qin Bai pretended to sell goods, but in fact he wandered around the town, secretly searching for anything strange.
As time passed, his face gradually turned livid.
The entire Iwago County only has a population of two to three hundred people, but there are more than one places that reveal the aura of demons, and they are so looming that they cannot be detected in detail.
Qin Bai stood on the street, wondering whether he wanted to get involved in this muddy water.
He noticed that the energy and blood of passers-by did not look like they had been in contact with demons for a long time. Could it be that they were Gu demons?
If these demonic auras are really related to Gu insects, taking action hastily is likely to annoy the locals.
The main reason is that Qin Bai's Buddhist cultivation is not good enough, otherwise he can just use Buddha's light to sweep it away, so there would be no need for so much trouble.
He thought about how to negotiate with the residents, and simply placed the cargo boxes on the ground to see if he could make some money by doing some small business.
Not long after, Qin Bai's arm was patted, and the man's smooth voice sounded: "Qiu Sheng, look, you should be able to buy yellow paper for setting up the formation here."
Qiu Sheng shook his head helplessly. He nudged Xiancai with his elbow to signal him not to say anything.
Uncle Jiu's master and apprentice had just arrived in Yanhu County not long ago, but unlike Qin Bai, who was different from ordinary people, they quickly integrated into it relying on their status as Taoist priests.
Uncle Jiu, in particular, is popular wherever he works to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. Especially in Yanhu County, there are also wealthy Han businessmen.
Qin Bai turned around after realizing it. He saw someone picking things in his cargo box, and he seemed to be surprised.
Both men looked Han Chinese, and the clothes they wore did not look like locals, and they seemed vaguely familiar to him.
Qiu Sheng touched his pocket and glanced at Wen Cai. He showed an inexplicable confidence and planned to have a good deal with the salesman.
However, Qin Bai's appearance still made him a little frightened, so his tone couldn't help but become a little weaker.
"There happens to be a funeral at home, how can I sell this yellow paper?"
"Just watch it." Qin Bai waved his hand and said.
But Qiu Sheng felt troubled. Why was the ball kicked back? So what should he say?
Wen Cai beside him shrank his neck, and he subconsciously looked at the shelves. Many of the items made him feel curious.
"What is this?" he asked curiously, pointing to one of them.
"oh……"
Qin Bai picked up a palm-sized metal object with a black screen and a large number of buttons.
"This is a talisman named Nokia, which is enough to withstand the disaster caused by an asteroid hitting the earth."
Although the Nokia he caught was intact, it was no longer useful because water had entered the inside.
Wen Cai didn't know how serious it was, so he immediately thought of prostitution for free, and tried to deceive the other party with his half-filled charlatanism.
"Would you like to see your face, strong man?"
Qin Baigang was about to refuse, when suddenly a strange idea came to his mind.
"Are you two wandering Taoist priests?"
Qiu Sheng was still hesitating whether to tell him or not, but Wen Cai took the lead and said, "My master is from Maoshan, and he is quite famous even in the capital."
"But... Uncle Ninth?" Qin Bai said with an inexplicable expression on his face.
"ah?!!"
Both Qiu Sheng and Qiu Sheng were a little shocked. What they said before was just a boast. Uncle Jiu's name was not that famous at all. Even ordinary people in southern Guangdong did not recognize it.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Qin Bai suddenly knew that it was indeed related to Uncle Jiu.
He looked happy. He had naturally seen the Uncle Nine series as a classic.
Although most of it has been forgotten after decades, I can only describe it as long-standing admiration for Uncle Jiu, who is the protagonist in it.
And the key to breaking the situation is here.
"Little brother Qiusheng, do you want yellow paper?"
"Take it and take it!!"
Qin Bai took out a thick stack of probably hundreds of sheets and stuffed them directly into Qiu Sheng's hand.
There were so many basic training supplies in his fish bag that even a truck could not fit them.
Qiu Sheng was a little confused, and before he could speak, he had a few more plastic bags in his hand. The other party gave him more than ten kilograms of cinnabar, which is rare and precious in Iwago County.
Qin Bai gave Wencai a Nokia and put a film on it.
The two looked at each other, wondering when they had ever seen such an enthusiastic shopkeeper.
By the time Qiu Sheng came to his senses, Qin Bai was already following them arm in arm, looking familiar.
The two of them didn't dare to resist at all, for fear that the man would break their necks.
After passing through several streets, we seemed to have arrived at a place where the demonic atmosphere was most concentrated.
Uncle Jiu stood in front of the dilapidated mansion and waited. He couldn't help but mutter: "It only takes so long to buy a piece of yellow paper. I don't know what you are doing?"
He immediately noticed the two disciples walking over from the end of the street, seemingly carrying something in large and small packages.
Uncle Jiu's eyes narrowed and his expression became extremely stiff.
I saw a strong man over two meters tall walking beside the two of them, with a ferocious face that didn't look like a good guy at all.
Passers-by on both sides of the street rushed to stay away, as if they had encountered the god of plague.
Could it be a vendetta?
It's very possible!
Uncle Jiu touched the wooden sword on his back, and a large amount of sweat fell from his forehead.
The other party was coercing his two apprentices, and I'm afraid he had some agenda. He was probably planning to use this as a threat.
Uncle Jiu felt that the invisible confrontation had officially begun.
No, you must show the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrist, otherwise you will have to be left behind.
Uncle Jiu's eyes wandered between Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, trying to see if the master and apprentice could have a good understanding, so that he could suddenly disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
But Qin Bai dug into his arms and took out the ultimatum issued by Zhang Guanfu.
He didn't care whether Uncle Jiu could see clearly, he opened it, shook it for a moment and put it back.
It's a pity that the other party is not blind.
"Fellow Daoist Jixie, do you and I recognize you?"
