Chapter 18: Things Gather by Like, People by Groups
Inside the tomb, the atmosphere instantly became awkward. Lin Man'er couldn't guess what Yanziyu meant, and after a moment of silence, she replied: "My mother told me that I should be content. "It was a good thing to say, but his next sentence was a little annoying." What's more, you're thousands of years old, and I can't ask for you. ”
"Do you think a hundred years old is a big difference from a thousand years old?"
"Great." Lin Man'er replied without hesitation.
"Okay, let me ask you again, is there a big difference between 11,100 years old and 11,000 years old?"
"Great." Lin Man'er replied without hesitation.
Yan Ziyu was a little stunned, she didn't expect Lin Man'er's brain circuit to be different from ordinary people. After sorting out your thoughts, ask, "What is the basis for your judgment?" ”
Lin Man'er thought for a moment and replied, "Age." ”
"Okay, let me ask you, if you first saw me, how old would you think I was?"
Lin Man'er referred to the relationship between the age and appearance of the women in the toad village and came up with the answer of thirty years old. Although Yanziyu was not satisfied with this answer, she could accept it. Therefore, the lesson said: "You men, in the end, don't you look at your face? After speaking, he looked at Lin Man'er with interest and teased, "If I were twenty years old, would you be tempted?" ”
"No, it won't." Lin Man'er said without hesitation.
"Why?"
"I already have a mother-in-law."
Hearing this reason that surprised her, Yanziyu asked, "You shouldn't be less than a hundred years old, right?" As for the monkey in a hurry? Or is that mother-in-law of yours to the point of captivating the country and the city? ”
"In our village, at my age, all the cubs born can go to the sea."
Yanziyu didn't know that Lin Man'er was talking about Toad Village, and thought it was something very special. After all, being able to give birth to a highly talented cultivation seedling like Lin Man'er is not special, and no one believes it!
Therefore, she muttered to herself, "No, if a cultivator breaks his body early, he will be affected?" Could it be ......" Yan Ziyu suddenly changed his face, stared at Lin Man'er, and said coldly, "Sacrificial cultivation?" With women as the furnace? Is it? ”
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. ”
"Don't understand? Is it? Then I ask you, why were you able to devour my primordial god before? And why can he absorb the soul elements in the soul cultivation array without restraint? ”
"I was born."
"Born? Joke. I'm afraid it's some kind of evil sect practice that uses women as the furnace, right? ”
Lin Man'er understood and explained: "There are two cultivators in our village, I and Yuwazi, and they are not what you think at all. ”
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. My mother-in-law is a disciple of the Oriental Dean, do you think I will swallow her Yuanshen? ”
"A disciple of Dean Dongfang? Are you kidding? ”
"I'm not kidding."
Yan Ziyu said with a disdainful face: "Hehe... Dean Dongfang is practicing Mu Baolu, do you think Mu Baolu can be passed on to outsiders? ”
"I don't know if I can pass it on, but I have Mu Baolu."
"Do you have Mu Baolu? Take it out and I'll see. Yanziyu was surprised at first, and then eager with a hint of joy.
Lin Man'er wanted to prove her innocence, but at the same time, she felt that there was something wrong with this swallow language. Therefore, he did not take out the jade medal of the exercises, but showed the healing effect of Mu Baolu. After Yanzi saw it, it was basically determined that it was Mu Baolu. It's just that it's hard for her to understand why Dongfang Qingtang passed Mu Baolu to Lin Man'er. After some thought, she came up with two guesses. However, no matter which one it was, she felt sad for Lin Man'er.
"If you are desperate in the future, come to Wushan to find me." Swallow language rarely looks affectionate.
However, Lin Man'er was a little ruinous and said, "I don't like you." ”
Yanziyu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "You are really annoying." I like it, though. Without waiting for Lin Man'er to answer, he continued, "The Dan Techniques and Talisman I have practiced are not what you imagined. To be precise, it should be poison and puppetry. The demon kings of Wushan have different magical powers, and if you want to live, you must pass my test. ”
Lin Man'er sighed and replied, "That's okay!" I choose poison first, I still know a little bit about this. ”
"Oh, you're actually involved in poison?"
"When I was in the Meishan Mountains, I also met a lot of demon kings who used poison. After suffering a little loss, you know what to do. ”
Yan Ziyu shook his head slightly and said, "My poison technique is quite special, and you may not be able to pass the test easily with Mu Baolu." ”
Lin Man'er seemed to think of something and asked, "Is it for the Yuan Shen?" ”
These words made Yan Ziyu a little impressed, and said approvingly: "You are right, the direction of my main attack is indeed aimed at the Yuan Shen. However, that doesn't mean I won't be anything else. ”
"I know, let's get started!" Lin Man'er said indifferently.
Yan Ziyu smiled lightly, raised her slender jade hand, and snapped her fingers in front of Lin Man'er. In an instant, Lin Man'er's surroundings underwent drastic changes, first from the tomb to endless darkness, and then from darkness to vibrant green mountains and green waters.
Lin Man'er looked at everything in front of him and asked, "How can I pass the test?" ”
"Find a hundred poisons and antidotes." The voice of the swallow language sounded in Lin Man'er's mind.
"Are there any restrictions?"
"Find at least one a day."
"What should I do if I don't find it?"
"Don't worry, as a senior sister, I won't be too strict." After a pause, he said in a gentle tone, "Still, a small punishment is necessary. So, I have a special gift for you. If you don't complete the day's tasks, just get one. ”
Lin Man'er guessed in his heart that he thought that the character of the crazy woman in Yanziyu must have prepared some special poison. Although you won't kill yourself, you will definitely suffer from it.
However, the strange thing is that Yan Ziyu actually knows what is in his heart. So, Yanzi Yu was angry and said: "In view of your groundless speculation about the gentle and kind fairy, this fairy decided to add one temporarily. ”
Lin Man'er seemed to be used to this, and she didn't get angry, and asked her about the changed rules. Yan Ziyu was a little disappointed with Lin Man'er's reaction, and her expression was tasteless: "On the original rules, add one the next day." ”
Lin Man'er answered very calmly, and then looked for poison around. Not long after, he relied on the experience accumulated in the Meishan Mountains to find an umbrella-shaped mushroom under a dead tree. This mushroom is called the white spotted red umbrella mushroom, and it is not large, only half an inch. The cap is oval in shape with raised white spots. The fungus ring is turned outward, like an umbrella buckle. The stipe is smooth, like an umbrella stem.
The toxicity of the white spotted red umbrella mushroom itself is very small, but it has a characteristic, that is, when it encounters blood, it will turn into highly poisonous. Moreover, as more blood is mixed, toxicity increases exponentially. It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is often used by the Shadow Falling Immortal to assassinate certain targets with special identities.
Lin Man'er has found the poison, and it's time to find an antidote. As the saying goes, where poison is born, there must be something within ten zhang. Fortunately, the white spotted red umbrella mushroom fits this point. It grows under dead wood, and the roots of that dead wood are the antidote.
Lin Man'er completed the day's task, but he did not stop, but continued to look for new poisons. Because, with the new rules, he has to find two poisons and an antidote tomorrow. And so on, the third day is three, and the fourth day is four......
With Yanziyu's character, since she has prescribed a hundred poisons and antidotes, it can be seen that the number of poisons here must not be too much. Maybe it's one hundred and twenty-three! And, as he finds more poisons, the more poisons are bound to be difficult to find. Therefore, if he doesn't want to receive the gift from Yanziyu, he must complete the follow-up tasks in advance.
We can only say that Lin Man'er is still too young. Don't forget, this is Yanziyu's territory, if she wants to give a gift, how can Lin Man'er refuse?
At the end of the day, Lin Man'er found five poisons and antidotes. In this regard, Yanziyu actually appeared in person and praised him. However, Lin Man'er felt unsteady in his heart, and always felt that he had fallen into a trap.
On the second day, Lin Man'er found four poisons and antidotes. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was about to rest, but Yan Ziyu told him that his task for today was not completed.
Lin Man'er was puzzled: "Let's not talk about what I found yesterday, even today I also found four poisons and antidotes. Why wasn't it done? ”
"You found five poisons and antidotes yesterday, and according to the rules, you need to find at least six today, not four."
As soon as Lin Man'er heard this, the whole person was immediately confused. Yan Ziyu looked at his expression, not to mention how happy he was, but on the surface, he kindly reminded: "There are still two hours until the next day." ”
Lin Man'er gritted her teeth and did not argue with Yanziyu, but continued to look for poisons and antidotes. During the day, he also found two poisonous weeds, but he did not find a corresponding antidote. Or rather, he couldn't be sure if the antidote would detoxify. Now that time is pressing, he can't care about anything else. Find the poisonous weed and the uncertain antidote, and prepare to cross.
Yan Ziyu looked at him playfully for a long time, and asked, "Are you sure there is nothing wrong?" ”
"If it's wrong, I'll admit it." Lin Man'er said a little annoyed.
"Confession? Hehe... Don't blame me for not reminding you, the punishment for not finding it is not the same as finding it. After a pause, he said very seriously, "The latter doubled." ”
Lin Man'er was unconvinced and said: "I at least found the poison, why double?" ”
"Not convinced, huh? Okay, I'll tell you something that really happened. Thirty years ago, there was a golden immortal who left a famous merit monument in Wushan, that is, the Seven Rank Immortal Jun. He was poisoned while fighting the Seventh-Order Phantom Snake King and fell into a coma. At that time, in order to save him, his disciples used seven leaves and one branch flower to detoxify. ”
Lin Man'er once heard Ye Lizi say that the seven-leaf and one-branch flower is very peculiar and can solve most of the snake venom. So he asked, "Isn't that right?" ”
"Of course not! Let's not mention that the seven-leaf flower can't solve the poison of the Phantom Snake King at all, even if it can, but the golden immortal is not a snake venom at all. Originally, with its strong cultivation, it would not have died, but because of the seven leaves and one flower, it led to a toxic mutation. How ridiculous it is that the dignified Golden Immortal actually died of the stupidity of his apprentice. ”
After Lin Man'er heard this, she retorted: "How can this blame the apprentice? Obviously, that seventh-order snake king was too insidious. ”
When Yanziyu heard this, she scolded loudly: "Are you an idiot? I repeat at the end that there are only the living and the dead on the battlefield. ”
"Then there are still wounds!"
"Hurt? Being able to get injured means that death is not far away. ”
"Haven't you been hurt?"
"Of course not! Drunken Eight Immortals and Eight in One, under my formation, can resist the blow of the Eighth-Order Demon King. And the battlefield we participated in, the highest strength of the demon king was also the seventh order. ”
Lin Man'er understood that he couldn't speak swallow language at all, so he directly swallowed the poisonous weed he found, and after confirming the poison, he took the uncertain antidote. Luckily, it was right both times. This made Lin Man'er a little puzzled, and at the moment, he looked at Yanziyu with a blank face.
Yanziyu shrugged, looking like she didn't care about herself.
Lin Man'er was a little angry and said, "Didn't you say that I was looking for something wrong?" ”
"Joke, when did I say you were looking for the wrong thing? It's obviously your own weak heart, do you blame me? ”
"If you just die, I won't admit it."
"Little junior brother, don't worry, as a senior sister, I will definitely rack my brains to let you experience a different life without killing you."
"I may not be able to beat you in a few hundred years, but I believe that if I can get out, I will be able to beat your brother. When the time comes, you will do to me as you do to me. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yanziyu did something that made Lin Man'er stunned, and he really couldn't replicate this matter on Yanziqi. At that moment, Lin Man'er felt that he had been defeated, and he was completely defeated.
If Lin Man'er is a barbarian who doesn't follow the rules, then Yanziyu is a crazy person who acts grotesquely. And the other seven, too. This is called the gathering of things by like, and the division of people by groups.
