The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 228 Gold Winged Insect

Hearing Wang Zirong persuade him not to go to Liangyin Mountain for the second time, Lu Qian couldn't help but become serious.

He said: "Tell me first. If possible, I still want to go."

Wang Zirong was slightly surprised when she heard Lu Qian say this.

She didn't expect that she could actually persuade him.

Wang Zirong glanced at Lu Qian in surprise, then nodded, and said, "The 'Liangyin Mountain' you mentioned has a formal name called 'Yinmingjian'."

Hearing the words "Yin and Nether", Lu Qian was startled, and subconsciously said: "Yin...between?"

Very familiar name.

Wang Zirong blinked at Lu Qian, with a puzzled look on her face, not understanding what he meant by saying these two words alone?
When Lu Qian saw it, he gestured with his eyes and asked her to continue.

Wang Zirong continued: "The so-called 'Yin and Netherworld' is... a space that is within our world but not within it."

Lu Qian was a little puzzled, and said, "This... how do you say it?"

Wang Zirong shook her head and said: "This is the original words that the mountain god told me, and I don't understand what it means."

……

"Ok."

Wang Zirong said: "This 'underworld' is actually a closed and independent space. In this world, there should be many underworlds, and the size of each underworld may be different. What you call 'beams' "Yin Mountain" is actually located in Liangyin Mountain, which is equivalent to its name."

Lu Qian said: "In other words, 'Liangyin Mountain' is equivalent to the place name of this 'Yinmingjian'."

Wang Zirong nodded and said: "That's right. There is only one portal leading to the outside world. I know the location of the passage between the Yin and Ming in Liangyin Mountain, but only ghosts can enter this passage. People are afraid of it." It's impossible to get in."

Lu Qian said: "Are you just afraid?"

Wang Zirong said: "Yes. If you want to enter by force, I'm afraid you will pay a very high price."

Lu Qian pondered for a while, and said, "You just said, you can think of a way to let me in?"

Wang Zirong glanced at Lu Qian, then sighed, and said, "I really can't do anything about you. Then, when I see the mountain god again, tell him that he should have a way to send you in. But I can only try Let's see, I can't guarantee whether the mountain god will agree to it or not. But..."

As Wang Zirong said, she glanced at Lu Qian and said, "If you are willing to give more money, then the possibility that the mountain god will help you will be greatly increased."

Lu Qian listened and shook his head.

Wang Zirong was startled, and said, "What?"

Lu Qian sighed: "In the past, your method might have worked. But now..."

"What's the matter now?"

Lu Qian said: "It should be impossible for you to see the mountain god again."

Wang Zirong was very surprised and asked, "Why?"

Lu Qian said: "The court has issued an order to arrest all the gods. Didn't you hear any news?"

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Wang Zirong's eyes widened suddenly, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and she said, "This...how is this possible? The imperial court...why did the imperial court start a war with the gods?"

Lu Qian shook his head and said: "I don't know the reason, but this matter is absolutely true. I have seen the emperor's decree with my own eyes."

Wang Zirong frowned and didn't say a word for a long time.

This news obviously surprised her too much.

After a long pause, Lu Qian asked, "So, besides this, do you have any other options?"

Wang Zirong smiled wryly, and said: "Then you can only walk and see. In fact, although it is difficult to send you in, it is not impossible. What I am most worried about is, after you enter, can you still come out?
The main reason why I said to ask the mountain god for help just now is because of this.After all, he is the mountain god of Liangyin Mountain. If he is willing to make a move, it shouldn't be a big problem to bring you out.But now..."

Wang Zirong smiled bitterly and said to Lu Qian, "Do you really...have to go?"

Lu Qian didn't answer her directly, but asked, "Have you been to that... entrance? What's the situation there?"

Wang Zirong shook her head and said, "It's not a good place, why should I go there?"

Lu Qian said: "Okay then, just do what you said and take it one step at a time."

Wang Zirong let out a "hmm" and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Lu Qian said: "If you have nothing important to do, let's leave now."

Wang Zirong said: "Okay—"

After saying "OK", she reached out and pointed to a deep pit at the innermost side of the cave, and said, "Dig out the things, and we'll go. Then..."

Wang Zirong smiled slightly, and said: "If you have ghost money, there is one item in this market that I like."

Lu Qian curled his lips and said, "So, once I've been wronged, you can buy it?"

Wang Zirong nodded with a smile, gave a slight blessing to Lu Qian, and said, "I'm not respecting you enough if I come to the market with brother Lu, or if I don't want to ask for something?"

Lu Qian said: "It's a trivial matter. Let's go, let's go and see what's under there."

With that said, Lu Qian and Wang Zirong took the lead, came to the edge of this platform, and walked down the narrow stairs.

From the entrance of the cave to the deepest part of the cave, there are four large steps.

When we reached the last floor, the space below was already very small, but extremely deep.The steps leading to the bottom of this floor, although zigzag as much as possible, are still unusually steep.

Lu Qian glanced down, and saw that the bottom was seventy or eighty feet deep, and the deepest part was a rectangular platform.Looking down from above, apart from feeling that the pothole is very deep, there is nothing special about it.

"You said, this is here?"

Lu Qian looked back at Wang Zirong and asked, "What's buried here?"

Wang Zirong replied casually: "I don't know what is buried underneath, but I know it must be good... um..."

In the middle of her words, she suddenly saw that Lu Qian's expression was unkind, and she couldn't help but change slightly, and said, "Okay. My bug detected it, and there seems to be some platinum sand buried underneath..."

"White Sands?"

This is the first time Lu Qian has heard of these three words.

Wang Zirong said: "This is a very rare mineral associated with silver ore, which can be used to refine magic weapons...uh... In fact, platinum sand is one of the main raw materials for refining magic weapons, and its value is extremely high; of course , it also has another function, which is..."

Lu Qian said, "Can your bugs eat platinum sand?"

"Well……"

After a little hesitation, Wang Zirong nodded and said: "Yes. As you know, I major in 'Insect Control'. In my insect control technique, there is a very powerful insect called 'Gold Winged Insect' .”

Speaking of the word "gold-winged worm", Wang Zirong sighed lightly, and said: "These 'gold-winged worms' are really good after being cultivated. But they don't like to eat meat like other worms, but they like to eat meat." Eat a variety of minerals, especially—

Precious minerals such as gold and silver. "

This was the first time Lu Qian had heard of this "gold-winged insect", and he didn't have any understanding of the "insect control technique" itself.

However, from Wang Zirong's words, he captured two pieces of information:
First, most of the worms that Wang Zirong raises like to eat flesh and blood.

And human flesh and blood is probably the most delicious to bugs, right?

Wang Zirong opened a tofu shop and grinded live people. On the one hand, she wanted to obtain human skin to "offer" to the mountain god; on the other hand, she wanted to get human flesh and blood to feed her own bugs.The second one is the "Insect Control Art" practiced by Wang Zirong. Among them, there is a kind of insect that he specializes in, called "Gold Winged Insect".

However, this gold-winged insect doesn't like to eat flesh and blood, but likes to eat gold and silver.

She is so obsessed with money and earns money desperately, it turns out that it is all to feed her worms.

So based on these two reasons, all her actions are understandable.

Wang Zirong continued: "I believe that with these white gold sands, my gold-winged worm will definitely be able to advance to a mature body. At that time, my strength will also increase greatly."

After finishing speaking, Wang Zirong blinked at Lu Qian, and said with a coquettish smile, "It will be of great benefit to you, too."

Lu Qian raised his head and said, "I didn't see it. I just saw it. I'm afraid I'm going to work for nothing."

When Wang Zirong heard Lu Qian's words, she was both surprised and delighted, and said in surprise, "You...do you really have a solution? Underneath, there is a layer of extremely solid rock, which is difficult to drill through."

She told Lu Qian about this matter, but she just held out hope.However, what she didn't expect was that Lu Qian would actually find a way.

Lu Qian didn't answer her, but asked, "Can I have a look at your 'gold-winged bug'?"

After Wang Zirong heard this, he immediately took off a small bag from his body and held it in his hand.

Her pocket was dark and shiny, as if it was made of some special silk.

Wang Zirong opened the opening of the pocket, and immediately a few silver bugs flew out of the pocket.

These bugs are only about the size of a knuckle of an adult's little finger. They have teeth and claws, a ferocious appearance, and a pair of translucent, silver wings.

There were nine worms in total, and once they got out of the pocket, they lined up and flew around Wang Zirong.While flying, there was a horrible hissing sound.

Seeing this, Wang Zirong couldn't help putting her hands on her forehead, and said with a very headache: "These guys are so delicious, they are hungry again."

Lu Qian looked at these flying insects curiously, and asked, "What's the use of you 'gold-winged insect'?"

Wang Zirong said with some pride: "This gold-winged insect can't be cut with a knife, can't be cut with an axe, it's not afraid of water and fire, it has a very strong survivability, and its flying speed is very fast. Any one of them can easily bite a person's flesh. Throat—even if he is at the Ninth Grade Hundred Refinement Realm, he is as fragile as an insignificant bug in front of the gold-winged bug."

Hearing this, Lu Qian nodded slightly.Any one of these gold-winged insects can easily kill a rank nine hundred refiner.This insect control technique really has some tricks.

Moreover, this is still an immature goldwing; if it is a mature body, I don't know how powerful it will be.

Lu Qian asked, "Does this gold-winged insect have any weaknesses?"

Hearing this, Wang Zirong couldn't help but looked at Lu Qian with some resentment, and said, "Would you strip away all the cards he has left?"

Lu Qian glanced at Wang Zirong and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, just pure curiosity. Of course you don't have to say it."

Wang Zirong heard this, spread her hands, and said, "I was mentally prepared to give you all my hole cards. But——as far as I know, this gold-winged insect really has no weaknesses."

Lu Qian asked: "Your gold-winged insects are so powerful, can't they bite through the... ground?"

Wang Zirong shook her head, and said: "There are platinum placers under this ground, and these mineral powders are fatally attractive to gold-winged insects, so once they realize it, they desperately want to drill down and devour those mineral powders. It's a pity , They only drilled halfway, and they were blocked by a solid rock formation below.

I speculate that they may not be helpless with that layer of rock, but...just that they seem to be very resistant to that layer of rock, even under the temptation of Baijinsha, they would not try to bite through that layer of rock.

The reason for this, I haven't figured out yet. "

"It's the smell..."

After Wang Zirong finished speaking, just as everyone was silent, Bai Tan suddenly said:

"Your bugs are very sensitive to smells. There are some smells that they don't like very much, so they will naturally resist them."

Wang Zirong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.

After a while, Wang Zirong nodded slowly, and said, "Perhaps what you said is not bad. This gold-winged insect is indeed a little sensitive to smells."

Lu Qian turned his head and glanced at Bai Tan.

Among the people present, I am afraid that no one can create "smell" better than Bai Tan.

After Wang Zirong finished speaking, she looked at Lu Qian and said to him, "Can you really break through that rock formation?"

Lu Qian pondered for a while, and said, "Then I can only try it."

Having said that, Lu Qian has decided to help Wang Zirong once.

After all, he still needs Wang Zirong to take him to Liangyin Mountain, so this should be regarded as an equivalent exchange.

Anyway, for him, it's just a matter of drilling a hole into the ground, and it's not troublesome.

After Lu Qian finished speaking, he took out a paper spirit in the shape of a beast and put it on the ground.

Then, the paper spirit, which was originally just a thin piece of paper, stood up on the ground and turned into a pangolin.

Seeing the paper-cut living creature in front of him, Wang Zirong showed a look of surprise on her face, and said, "Pangolin?"

Lu Qian said: "Let it try."

As Lu Qian's words fell, the pangolin seemed to understand human language and thought, immediately poked its head and burrowed down.

The seemingly solid ground was penetrated directly by it.

In the blink of an eye, a hole more than a foot wide appeared on the ground, and the pangolin's body disappeared into the hole at the same time.

The ground is not far from the buried gold sand mine detected by Wang Zirong.Not long after, Lu Qian sensed the feedback from the pangolin, although it was blocked by a solid rock formation.

I don't know what this layer of demonstration is. The pangolin tried both sides, but it was actually impenetrable.

Seeing this, Lu Qian immediately poured his spiritual power into the body of the pangolin paper spirit.

The next moment, the pangolin seemed to be refreshed and went down again.

This time, it directly drilled through the solid rock formation and penetrated down.

Not long after the pangolin pierced through that layer of rock, Lu Qian got a signal from the pangolin.

It was below, and sure enough, some sand-like objects were found, which were buried deep under the ground.

These "sands" seem to be in large quantities, distributed in a rectangular shape, and filled with pits.

Then, not long after, the pangolin returned from the ground again.

After the pangolin returned to the ground from the hole it drilled, it crawled two steps aside, opened its mouth, and spit out a pile of silvery sand grains, which fell on the ground and formed a small pile.

Seeing these silver sand grains, Wang Zirong immediately said happily: "It really is white gold sand."

Following her words, the nine "gold-winged insects" she released immediately swarmed up and rushed towards the silvery sand pile.

Nine gold-winged insects threw themselves on the pile of golden sand and started eating fiercely.After a while, these seemingly tiny gold-winged insects ate up the pile of white gold sand.

Then, the nine gold-winged insects lay on the ground, motionless.

Lu Qian keenly felt that after the gold-winged insects ate the platinum sand, they seemed to have undergone some changes.

Some golden spots began to appear on their silver wings one after another.
