Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 25

The new moon at the beginning of the month is dim, and walking on the country road can be regarded as blind.The dim lanterns can't really illuminate much of the place. Zhang Wei held his head high and held the Songshan sword in his hand, trying hard to see the surrounding environment clearly.

Along the way, Zhang Wei did not speak, and the two compatriots who followed him did not dare to speak.

Not long after the three of them left, Zhang Wei noticed the nervousness of the two fellow clansmen, so he spoke with a smile: "I haven't met you two yet, so I don't know how to call you two?"

The two quickly laughed and said, "My name is Zhang Dazao, and he is Zhang Xiaoli."

Hearing the two of them self-referring to their families, Zhang Wei couldn't help being happy. He said, "Why are they called Dazao and Xiaoli?"

The two scratched their heads and said, "His family and I are neighbors. My family has a jujube tree, and his family has a pear tree, so they are called Dazao and Xiaoli."

Zhang Wei chuckled, that's how a farmer's name is, and it should be simple and easy to remember.

Not long after, under Zhang Wei's deliberate chat, he quickly learned about the family situation of the two.Zhang Dazao’s father’s name is Zhang Laozao. His family’s jujube tree was planted very early, and the word jujube was used very early. It is estimated that his child will be called Zhang Xiaozao.

After getting acquainted with each other a little bit, the two also began to complain to Zhang Wei that it was terrible to convict people to serve in the army during the busy farming season.Fortunately, they can go home and sleep after patrolling, and they can get up and work tomorrow.

Hearing their plans, Zhang Wei shook his head. This is a farmer who always worries about his crops.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei suddenly stopped, and the people who followed him were stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Master Xiucai, what's wrong?"

Zhang Wei made a silent movement, and then listened carefully.

The two were frightened by Zhang Wei's actions and stopped talking quickly.

In the summer night, there are bound to be insects and frogs in the countryside.Just came all the way, as well.But suddenly, all these insects and frogs disappeared.

Zhang Wei put his hand on the Songshan sword, and suddenly, he shouted violently: "Be careful!"

A shadow suddenly jumped out from the road, and Zhang Wei instantly drew his long sword.

With a bang, the Songshan sword was pulled out, turned into a silver light and stabbed at the black shadow.

With a bang, Zhang Wei felt his long sword pierced into a piece of wood.Then he felt a strong force coming towards him.

Zhang Wei sneered slightly, this thing wanted to push him away with strength!He is not strong enough now, so he can only take advantage of the momentum and jump backwards, and the long sword is also drawn out of the thing's body.

The two sides confronted each other on the ground, and then the light of the lantern, Zhang Wei finally saw what was rushing over.

This is a leopard.The markings on its body are like copper coins, and its green eyes are staring at Zhang Wei.There was a sword mark on its shoulder, and the wound had begun to bleed, but not much.

The point is, this leopard is as big as a ox. A leopard of this size must be a goblin.

On the first day of patrolling, seeing such a goblin, Zhang Dazao and Zhang Xiaoli trembled and almost fell to the ground.

Zhang Wei held the Songshan sword, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly he took a step, and quickly approached the leopard while holding the Songshan sword, and pierced the leopard's eyes with the long sword in his hand.

The leopard's reaction was also quick. It turned sideways, and then grabbed it with a paw.

Zhang Wei was not in a hurry, he turned around and returned to defense, and stabbed directly at the leopard's paw with the long sword in his hand.

In this blow, Zhang Wei didn't leave any behind. The 30-year-old Songshan swordsmanship pierced fiercely into the leopard's paw with a cold light.

The long sword pierced into the leopard's paw, and it hit the bone in one stroke.But Zhang Wei moved his hand, and the Songshan sword trembled suddenly, and the sword made a soft 'hum' sound.

During this tremor, the long sword rolled over, breaking the leopard's bones in one fell swoop, directly cutting off its front paws!
And at this time, Zhang Dazao finally came to his senses, he picked up the gong and started beating it frantically.

The sound of the gong of "Kang Bang Bang" shocked the silent village.Sun Chao, who was recuperating with his eyes closed in the ancestral hall, heard the sound of the gong, immediately grabbed his long sword and galloped on his horse.

After a few breaths, he slapped his horse and ran in the direction of the sound of the gong.

His horse riding skills are very good, and his crotch is also a good horse, even in the dark, this horse can run fast.

When he came to the scene of the incident, he saw Zhang Wei flipping through it with a huge front paw in his hand.

Seeing the claws that were bigger than his face, Sun Chao's expression changed slightly and said, "Brother Zhang, did you meet a goblin?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Well, it's a leopard. It's as big as a big ox."

Zhang Wei said calmly, as if what he met was just a kitten that didn't return home at night.

Sun Chao got off his horse. He lit a torch and looked at the ground, then pointed to a pool of blood and said, "This is the blood of a goblin. We can find it along the blood."

His tone was a little excited, while Zhang Wei said: "It's dark now, and you can't see your fingers. If you chase after rashly, you may fall into the trap of the goblin."

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Sun Chao also calmed down a little.He nodded and said, "Yes! Brother Zhang is right, the night is not conducive to our actions, we will wait until tomorrow to continue."

Zhang Wei nodded.Then Sun Chao said: "I guess the goblins won't dare to come tonight, so you guys should rest first, I'll replace the patrol with someone else."

After hearing this, Zhang Wei said directly: "That's fine, and the rest will be troublesome to Brother Sun."

After speaking, he comforted Zhang Dazao and Zhang Xiaoli, and then went back.

There was a reason why he rushed back.When he picked up the severed limb of the goblin on the ground, the alchemy furnace in his mind also had a movement.

A parenthesis suddenly appeared next to the word "tiger bone" in Shen Gu Dan, and inside it was written the word 'demon bone'.It seems that this demon bone can be used as medicine instead of tiger bone?

Shengu Dan is the most suitable medicine for Zhang Wei at present, but his family only has a piece of a century-old tiger bone, which has been used up. If there is no new tiger bone, the medicine will be gone after eating.

But now it seems that this cut off front paw seems to be able to replace the tiger bone?

If it can be substituted, can other materials in this alchemy furnace be substituted?

He was a little excited, and when he got home, he wrote a letter asking his old father to send another plant of the century-old ginseng at home.

But the letter cannot be sent out now, it will be done during the day tomorrow.

Now I can only suppress the excitement and various thoughts in my heart, then take a shower, hug Xiaoqian who is already asleep on the bed, and fall asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Wei found Zhang Li and wanted him to take the letter to the city.

It's just that when he found Zhang Li, Zhang Li looked at him very wrongly, as if there was a kind of awe and pride.

Then he heard Zhang Li say: "Master, did you really kill a goblin with your sword last night?"
