Chapter 47 Snake Catching

The weather was overcast and the temperature was much lower yesterday.When the strong wind blowing from the north roared along the long canyon, thick clouds and mist flowed along with it. At this time, Yu Ci always thought that he was on the side of a magnificent river, watching the gray-white river with giant waves overlapping each other , rushing forward, the mood will suddenly open up.Some small depressed thoughts will also be washed away here.

When people concentrate on doing one thing, no matter what the result is, time always flies by.

In the blink of an eye, Yu Ci had stayed in Tianrift Valley for less than half a month, and the weather was getting worse and worse. Yu Ci suspected that the first snow this year might fall at any time.

The work of collecting fish dragon grass has come to a standstill, or in other words, it has not opened at all in the past half month.

Only at this time, Yu Ci would understand how lucky he was to find such a large medicine field dedicated to the shrimp silk grass and the fish dragon grass.That's simply unattainable.

In the Rift Valley, the shrimp grass has inevitably withered. This strange 'medicinal' grass will temporarily transport their vitality to the parasitic trees, leaving only dry grass stalks without any 'medicinal' use The value will not recover until the spring of next year.

At this time, it is relatively easy to find the parasites of the shrimp grass, not to mention the evergreen trees, those are deciduous trees, but the tree species that drop their leaves very late, it is very likely that this kind of 'medicinal' grass parasitizes .Experienced 'medicine' pickers will mark these trees in order to expect a big harvest in the spring of the coming year.

What Yu Ci did was the same thing, except that he valued those places with signs of large-scale parasitism, and only in these places could natural fish dragon grasses be born in exchange for good deeds for him.

All will not be known until the spring of next year.

This winter, he was destined to spend in the Sky Rift Valley.

This wave of strong winds passed through the border, pushing the cloudy river away.Yu Ci let out a sigh of relief, slid all the way down the cliff, and just before the speed was about to exceed the warning line, he clung to the dry branch at hand.The branches groaned overwhelmed.

Yu Ci didn't move, he had already confirmed the target's position before watching the clouds and waves.In the crevice of the cliff ten feet away, there is a gray-brown "Tibetan skin" hidden in the whole body. This kind of poisonous snake is famous in the sky rift valley. There is a small protrusion on the top of the triangular head, which is very eye-catching. It does not hibernate. Aggressiveness, after discovering the prey, it is mainly a sneak attack. It is a giant elephant like an elephant. If it is bitten by one bite, it will immediately fall down, which is very terrifying.

However, Yu Ci stared at the poisonous snake, and what he planned in his mind was not the danger, but the reward: "The 'Tibetan skin' snake sloughs off, thirty merits!"

As he said to Zhou Laodao, it is not only fish dragon grass that can be exchanged for good deeds.Every year, monks from the Lichen sect release a large number of good news about collecting 'medicine' grass ores, many of which are produced near the Sky Rift Valley.Although most of these scattered trinkets are only worth one, two, three or five good deeds, and very few of them exceed ten, they are still a lot of money if they are collected together.

The "Zangpi" in front of you is an example.

"Tibetan skin" has a long lifespan. It is said that the long-lived person can live for more than 300 years, and the secret of his longevity is considered to be his strange habit.This snake sheds its skin twice a year. After the moult, the snake will bury the shed in the ground, and then dig it out and eat it the next time it molts. The molting work that comes down, and so on, every year.

Therefore, the snake slough from this snake slough also has a very large medicinal value, especially the "old Tibetan skin" that has grown for more than 200 years. The snake slough from it is the top grade of "medicine" , of high value.On the banner of Tongde Hall, there is a mountain gate monk who collects this kind of "old snake slough" with thirty good deeds as reward. In terms of unit price, it is higher than natural fish dragon grass. It is already the highest reward collected by Yu Ci. Good news.

Like the "old Tibetan skin" in front of Yu Ci, it has a lifespan of at least 250 years. It is old and cunning. When shedding its skin, it ran from the two thousand feet deep area where it usually moves to the one hundred feet away from the top of the valley. In the rock crevice, it can be guaranteed that no natural enemy can find its trace.

It's a pity that its luck is very bad, because its every move has long been under the monitoring of the "Illuminating Map" Yu Ci calculated that it was the time for "Zangpi" to shed its skin, so he used the "Illuminating Map" to observe its life early on. It is also very easy to find this unlucky egg that is climbing up abnormally. From that moment on, the fate of this "old Tibetan skin" is doomed.

"Old Zangpi" has found the place where the molted skin is buried, twisted its body, turned the soil layer with the small protrusion on the top of its head, dug a full half a foot deep, and finally saw the deep black color. Snake slough.Yu Ci stared at the display on the Illumination Map, silently calculating:

"Counting the snake slough, I have already accumulated 140 skills. The harvest is good, but the things on the surface are almost found, and there may not be such opportunities in the future!"

Amidst the exclamation, Yu Ci started.At a distance of ten feet, he just tapped on the cliff, and then flew over. "Zangpi" is known for being alert and sensitive, but this time, it only had time to twist its body before being caught by the sword energy penetrating through the rock gap. One point and two halves.

Yu Ci didn't care about the two snake bodies that were still struggling, and took out the jadeite 'medicine' hoe that Ye Tu gave him, and expanded the rock gap that was only two fingers wide.After a few rattling sounds, the rock gap had expanded to a foot wide, Yu Ci used the 'medicine' hoe to dig in, ready to hook the snake's slough out.

At this moment, he frowned, and the God Illuminating Map that was always on in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a little later, the whirring sound of wings came from the clouds above his head.

"How fast!" This was Yu Ci's first thought.

"It's this thing again!" It was the second one.

"Trouble is coming."

When this idea came up, there was a scream from above: "My snake!"

Surprisingly, there was still childishness in the scream, which surprised Yu Ci very much.When he looked up, the airflow from the fan's wings had already blown his face, and the voice shouted again: "You pay me for the snake!"

There was crying in the voice.

He has actually seen the big bird hovering above Yu Ci's head, it is the kind of blood sculpture that lives in the valley, with a fierce temperament and quite strong strength.But the blood sculpture in front of him has obviously been tamed, in fact it is the blood sculpture itself, Yu Ci is no stranger to it.

Before and after he arrived in the Sky Rift Valley, a total of two man-controlled raptors watched him from afar.On one end is the goshawk that "welcomes" him, and on the other end is the blood eagle in front of him.But today, this guy is not here to watch, there are people sitting on it, and there is more than one.

When the blood eagle circled for the second time, the people above jumped down.One big and one small, the big one hugged the little one, the body seemed to be weightless, it floated down, and landed on a protruding rock two feet away.

Yu Ci sized up the visitor.The older one has an ordinary face, is not tall, and looks about 40 or [-] years old. He looks very capable. Yu Ci already knows that this person has a superb cultivation level, far above his own, and is already at the mid-level or even supernatural power. The level of the upper level, that is to say, has already condensed into a Yin god.

The reason for this affirmative judgment is because he had already seen the light waves spreading in this person's brain in the Illumination Picture before, which was a sign of the Yin God's achievement.This little bit of experience was obtained from the two stewards of the Bairi Mansion, Lu Yang and Kuang Zheng, and later confirmed through a lot of practice in the Zhixin Temple.

To know whether Yinshen is successful or not, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.Before becoming a yin god, one still cultivates death power, and the cultivation level will gradually deepen over time; but once one becomes a yin god, the astounding potential of hidden consciousness in the soul will be quickly stimulated, making people's cultivation progress day by day, It doesn't take too long to leave the monks who have not condensed the Yin God far behind.

As far as recent experience is concerned, Yu Ci has a [-]% chance of winning against the monks who have not condensed the Yin God.But when it comes to characters of intermediate level and above, he is not at all sure.

He looks at others, and others look at him.The two looked at each other, and the visitor cupped his hands:

"This fellow Taoist, please."

The person who came looked rough and spoke kindly, not annoying, so Yu Ci responded with a smile: "It's a fellow Taoist from Wanlingmen, please."

Being robbed of a sentence, the visitor was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that Yu Ci was not easy to mess with, so he simply saluted again: "Chengrong of Wanlingmen, dare to ask Youzun's name?"

"Don't dare, Yu Ci, a loose person, I have met a friend who has become a Taoist."

While speaking politely, Yu Ci still murmured in his heart. When he inquired about the news earlier, the name Cheng Rong was not only familiar, but also familiar.His status is in Wanlingmen, similar to that of Kuangzheng and other real power managers in Bairi Mansion, and his status is quite high.

It's not troublesome for such a person to come forward in person, it's troublesome.What's more, there is a little guy next to him, staring at him vigorously?

The so-called little guy is actually a little girl carved in pink and jade, with braids all over her horns, but she is only ** years old, and she is wearing a lake green shirt, which complements her skin like suet.At this time, the mist in the lacquer-like eyes made her look even more lovely.

Yu Ci laughed when he saw it: "Then this one is..."

"This is……"

"Shi Xin!"

The little girl didn't want others to do it for her, so she responded loudly.Then, she couldn't wait to declare Yu Ci's crime: "You killed my snake, you pay me!"

"Your snake? You raised it?" Yu Ci didn't mind entangled with the little girl for a while before he figured out the reason for Cheng Rong's visit.He asked back with some interest, "I didn't see any collar or anything on it."

"This is my snake!"

The little girl from the historian emphasized again, quite confidently: "I put a 'soul-drawing curse' on this 'hidden skin', I was going to wait for it to take me to dig snake sloughs, but let you kill me indiscriminately, sorry I!"

"Jiu girl, don't be rude to your elders."

Cheng Rong stopped Shi Xin's entanglement, and turned to Yu Ci with a smile: "This is the youngest granddaughter of the head of my family, ranked ninth, and she is used to being pampered on weekdays, so I don't know how big or small it is, no wonder fellow Daoist."

The little girl was reprimanded, so she hung her head and stopped talking.When Yu Ci heard the little girl's self-reported name earlier, he guessed that she must be from an extraordinary background, but now that she confirmed it, he laughed and was also a little surprised.Lu Yang, the chief steward of Bairi Mansion, probably has a higher status in the mansion than Cheng Rong in Wanlingmen, but when facing Jin Huan's grandnephew, he is not as strict as Cheng Rong. close.

He is also an important minister with a foreign surname, the difference is probably due to his family education on the one hand, and on the other hand, this Cheng Rong's identity may also be different from ordinary people.
