Fairy Desire

Seeing Yan Shi graciously bringing him hot water for washing his feet, and looking at himself like a puppy begging for food, Meng Xiang couldn't laugh or cry: "I said stone, why are you like this? Didn't I promise you to teach you the knife?" The law? Don't you still believe me?"

"Brother Meng, you...you really know how to teach me the powerful sword technique yesterday?" Yan Shi didn't seem to hear his words, and still looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"Shitou, I have told you eight times. The saber technique I used yesterday was not very good. In the future, you will see many saber techniques that are more advanced and more powerful than it. Why don't you believe it?" Meng Xiang There was a sense of powerlessness in my heart.

He decided not to explain anymore, just teach him "Night Fighting Eight Directions" directly.Otherwise, he would really be crushed by him.

Because Yan Shi was too obsessed with "Night Fighting Eight Directions", Meng Xiang could only change his plan of going to the mountains to collect herbs, otherwise, he would not be at peace.Fortunately, the moves in "Night Fighting Eight Directions" are relatively simple, and the number of moves is relatively small. It took him less than a day to teach him the entire set of sword skills.

Yan Shi also seems to have some talent for sword skills. After he taught him, he practiced a few times. After he pointed out and corrected some small mistakes, he can already make it look like it.Of course, it's just a similarity in posture.In any one thing, it takes hard work and sweat to achieve success.

For the next period of time, the lives of the two of them, including going to the mountains to collect herbs, making decoction for hair plucking and marrow washing, were basically covered by Meng Xiang alone.

As for Yan Shi, after he taught him "Night Fighting Eight Directions", he was completely obsessed with it. Except for eating and sleeping, he basically spent all his time practicing swords, and he didn't care about other things.

Meng Xiang didn't bother him, and tried to provide him as much as possible.He knew that this state of obsession would be very helpful to improve his saber skills.He is very familiar with "Night Fighting Eight Directions". Although it can only be regarded as unsatisfactory in terms of power, it is undeniable that when it comes to laying the foundation, there are really not many sword skills that can compare with it, at least among the various sword skills he knows. , it is the best in this regard.

A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was late autumn when the chill was getting stronger, and everything began to wither slowly.Meng Xiang also started to give up picking herbs to make hair-plucking and marrow-washing soup.

It's not that he doesn't want to endure it any longer. Although the effect on him becomes worse and worse as the number of times of soaking increases, it is still of great help in helping him practice "Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Skill" and Wu Leu Zhen. of.However, the decoction of hair plucking and marrow washing will be strictly controlled by seasons.

According to the prescription, the medicinal materials used to make the decoction must be crude drugs, and it is best to use fresh herbs that have just been picked, otherwise, the effect will be very poor.

Meng Xiang also did an experiment, and the effect was indeed as stated in the prescription. The effect of using old medicine was indeed very poor, only two or three tenths of the former.

At this time, Yan Shi also woke up from the practice of swordsmanship.Because of his undivided attention, in just a few months, he has practiced "Night Fighting Eight Directions" to the level of a small success. Even if it is raining heavily, as long as he does not stop practicing, not a single drop of rain will fall on him.This is actually an important reason why Meng Xiang chose to practice it all the time in his previous life.

As the name suggests, night battles can also resist attacks from all directions at night, and to do this requires it to have extremely strong defense capabilities.In his previous life, danger was everywhere, and the powerful defense of "Night Fighting Eight Directions" had helped him escape from the clutches of death several times.

After breakfast one day, the two began to discuss the issue of food storage.Seeing that winter is coming, once the heavy snow falls and the road to the mountain is blocked, it will be very difficult for them to obtain food.

In fact, the main problem was that after the two of them devoted themselves to cultivation, their demand for food increased sharply, and their appetite increased many times at once.The food the two of them ate in a day can actually meet the total needs of a dozen strong men.

After some discussion, they decided to store food in three steps. The first step is to hunt in the mountains, which can not only obtain a lot of meat, but also a lot of animal fur; the second step is to sell the fur , as winter is approaching, the price of furs has also increased to a certain extent, and then all the money from selling furs will be exchanged for food and some daily necessities. After all, it is impossible for people to eat meat every day; the third step is to catch fish in the river, although It may have been very cold at that time, but after they practiced, their physical fitness has increased a lot, and they can bear no matter how cold the water is.

Just do what you say, and bring a lot of supplies, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi went into the mountain.After this period of training, their strength has improved a lot, especially Meng Xiang, whose current strength has reached about [-]% of his peak strength in his previous life.

In his previous life, with his current strength, as long as he left Ironwood City, his safety could not be guaranteed regardless of whether he could hunt prey, but the place he was in now was not the terrifying Ironwood City after all.With his current strength, it can be said that he can almost run amok in the mountains. Even if he encounters a pack of wolves that ordinary hunters talk about, he can retreat unscathed.

Not long after entering the mountain, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi realized that they had made a mistake.I don't know that there is no prey to hunt, but the number of prey is too much, ranging from hundreds of blind bears to a rabbit killing a chicken, they all fell under their bows and long knives.

At first, they found that their strength had increased sharply, and hunting prey became very easy, and their emotions suddenly became high, and they kept shooting at those prey, but when their excitement passed, they realized that they had encountered a problem—there were too many prey , cannot be transported.Although their strength, especially Meng Xiang's strength is astonishing, and it is effortless to carry heavy objects, their strength still has a limit after all.

The two discussed it and immediately decided to ask someone for help.In this season, the villagers in Longclaw Beach, especially the men, have almost nothing to do and stay at home.

Naturally, there are also those who have the same thoughts as Meng Xiang and the others, go hunting in the mountains, and subsidize their families, but they cannot be compared with them.

Meng Xiang and Yan Shi could ignore the dangers in the mountains and regard them as food extraction warehouses, but the villagers in Longzhaotan could not. Even the strongest and most experienced hunters would definitely be close to death if they encountered fierce beasts such as Xiong Xiazi and tigers.Therefore, the scope of their hunting is limited to the outskirts of the mountain, and naturally the harvest is not much, and most of the time it depends on luck.

Of course, there is a limit to where Meng Xiang and Yan Shi can run wild, and they don't dare to go too deep into the mountains rashly.The mountain range near the Nulong River is called Shenlong Mountain. Its length is unknown, and its width is also unknown. At least no one can tell clearly.

It is said that Shenlongshang was transformed by the fall of an ancient dragon, and the Nulong River in front of Longzhao Beach, which flows rapidly all year round, was transformed by the blood of the dragon.As for whether it is true, no one can say for sure, anyway, the legend is like that.

At first, when the villagers heard Yan Shi call them to help carry the prey, they still didn't believe it: what prey could two young boys catch?But some people still couldn’t stand the temptation—Yan Shi promised that as long as they helped bring the prey back, they would get half of it. This was actually Meng Xiang and Yan Shi helping the villagers in disguise.This year's situation is not good. If the winter is particularly cold, people may die again in the village.

The first group of villagers who followed Yan Shi into the mountain quickly sent back shocking news: there are indeed many prey that were hunted and killed in the mountain, and they were almost piled up into a hill.The villagers didn't believe it at first, but when the villages that entered the mountain released a large number of prey, they had to believe it.

Now it's the turn of those families who didn't get married to regret it. Seeing other people dragging the fat prey to their homes, they can only stare blankly, telling them not to get angry in a hurry.However, Yan Shi, who was in charge of directing the transportation of the prey, gave them a reassurance that every family would have a share as long as there was someone out there.

The almost frenzied hunting lasted for almost a month, and each family in Longzhaotan got a lot of prey. Not only did the water tanks in many households were full of pickled meat, but even the water ladles contained meat.

The whole Longclaw Beach is as lively as a festival, with so much meat, not to mention a winter, even the next spring is enough to eat.

As the biggest heroes - Meng Xiang and Yan Shi are also liked and loved by the villagers of the whole village.Every family gave them some good things one after another, almost filling half of the room.

What's more, some villagers with daughters in some villages, especially their daughters and two villagers of the same age as them, are even more enthusiastic. They frequently go to them, or praise their daughters directly or implicitly. They became the future son-in-law, which made the two feel a little uncomfortable.

Because they gave great benefits to the folks, their hearts are full of flesh. Although they did not make them their sons-in-law, many people decided to help them do something.When they learned that they were going to Guyang City to sell furs in exchange for food, they volunteered and delivered the food to their homes without letting them lift a finger.

Uneasy, after the villagers who helped them buy food came back, Meng Xiang found a young man with the brightest mind, Little Six, and asked about the situation in Guyang City in detail.In fact, he just wanted to know if things had changed after he intervened, which made him completely relieved.

A few months have passed, and although people often bring up the big case of the Huang family being wiped out and the city lord's mansion being stolen, that's just for chatting after dinner, and no one goes into it.As for the top leader of Guyang City, the city lord, he didn't get entangled in this matter either.

According to folklore, in that sensational case, the City Lord's Mansion not only suffered no losses, but became the biggest beneficiary.The Huang family is dead, and the property of the Huang family is naturally taken into the pocket of the city lord.

The Huang family has been in Guyang City for a hundred years, and they are quite good at management. The wealth they have accumulated is immeasurable.

But these have nothing to do with Meng Xiang, as long as it doesn't affect him, he doesn't care who gets the wealth.Of course, if he could make a lot of money from it, he would be very happy, but unfortunately he didn't have that chance.

After the matter came to an end, Meng Xiang decided to go fishing in the Nulong River. Originally, he didn't need to do this. He already had a lot of cured meat and purchased grain. Even if he and Yan Shi were very edible, it was enough for them to open up The belly has been eaten all winter.But when he thought of the silver sword tiger fish that he caught in the Nulong River by chance, he couldn't restrain the impulse in his heart.
