Chapter 735: A Pair(1/2)
(Thanks to the book friend "limaoxiao1" for 1 monthly ticket, I am very happy.)
I had been feeling happy for a long time, but at this moment, something seemed to be shaking in the trees in the distance.
Xie Yu was startled at first, thinking there was some enemy.
Subconsciously, I asked for help from the gourd mark. Unexpectedly, this time the gourd mark had more reactions. A small spot of light appeared directly from the inside and hit the shaking place.
As soon as the small light spot reached the danger, a picture came out. It turned out to be a plump hare eating a plant that looked like a garnet.
The hunger that had not been felt for a long time prompted Xie Yu's desire for food.
Put down the copper-button wooden box and the token, find a pebble from the ground, and crawl forward.
After just crawling a few steps, Xie Yu immediately realized that the spiritual power he had just lost in the cave had been restored.
Not only that, it had grown at least three times. Upon noticing this, Xie Yu immediately became happy and did not continue to crawl.
Just based on the situation coming from the small light point, a little spiritual power is directly used to directly stimulate the pebbles.
Xie Yu's technique was good, and he hit the plump hare's head right in the middle, and in order to prevent the first hit from the skeleton being ineffective.
I deliberately increased my spiritual power by a few points, reaching the limit of what the pebbles could bear.
The result was as expected. The animals here were indeed somewhat mutated. Their heads were quite hard, but their heads were crushed by the pebbles in Xie Yu's hands and they died.
The harvest was good, he picked up the copper-buttoned wooden box and the token again, and after putting the token back into the box, Xie Yu went directly to the fat rabbit.
After weighing it, Xie Yu was even more satisfied with the small portion of ten kilograms.
I looked around again and found that my current location was halfway up the hillside, with grass on the left and shrubs on the lower right.
Xie Yu's current condition is better than that of ordinary people. There should be a higher chance of finding water sources in places with woods.
Thinking of this, Xie Yu picked up some fat rabbits without hesitation and walked into the woods.
As he walked, Xie Yu released the only small light spot that could be taken out from the gourd mark and explored the woods and shrubs.
As a result, the small light spot did not disappoint Xie Yu. He soon found a small stream at the junction of shrubs and woods. Thinking of the water, Xie Yu couldn't help but speed up his steps.
…
After finding the water source and using magic to find out that it was not poisonous, Xie Yu took a few sips and got over the addiction.
Then, he found a fallen tree, collected some dead branches and leaves, and lit it directly with fire.
I tried to use a gravel blade to handle the fat rabbit, and finally made a small opening. I found that the fat rabbit was tougher than I thought.
Xie Yu cursed a few words, and after thinking about it, he stared at the fire that had just risen.
Xie Yu, who had made a plan, went to the stream again, found some red soil and made two mud basins, filled some water, and transported them back to the fire.
Take out the copper key from the underwear pocket, buckle the red stone on the key, and sew it back into the underwear pocket to keep it.
Then use the copper key, the copper lock, and the copper buckle on the wooden box as the refining materials.
After deliberately piling up piles of dead wood and using the pile of fire as the base, Xie Yu used his spiritual energy to use fire spells to burn the copper.
The copper that melted quickly formed the shape of a single-edged dagger under the action of small dots, and then cooled in a red clay pot.
Xie Yu cut the wooden box into a dagger handle and a shell, and then glued them together with the collected gum.
Soon, an exquisite and practical copper dagger was made.
Although due to material limitations, the blade of the copper dagger is less than twenty centimeters, it is still quite suitable for Xie Yu's current hand shape.
It's a pity that Xie Yu's spiritual consciousness cannot go out now, otherwise it would be quite fun to perform a "Flying Dagger Technique".
Now that the copper dagger is refined, it's time to get down to business.
Sure enough, Xie Yu used a copper dagger to skin the fat rabbit and it went much more smoothly.
But after peeling the skin and seeing the solid muscles of the fat rabbit, Xie Yu gave up the plan of roasting it, otherwise it would be too troublesome.
Of course, Xie Yu also had his own ideas. He immediately collected many large leaves, bundled them up, smeared them with red mud, and started a fire. Xie Yu planned to make a "beggar rabbit".
After being suffocated, Xie Yu released a small light spot to explore the surrounding situation, and then thought of the constant fighting in the cave. Although it was one-sided later, it still took a lot of effort from Xie Yu. As soon as the fire burned, he suddenly felt sleepy.
It's just that before going to bed, Xie Yu unfortunately didn't have any condiments. The "Beggars Rabbit" should taste a little worse.
I don’t know how long I slept for, but when Xie Yu woke up, the sky was already dark.
As he happened to be very hungry, Xie Yu opened fire and used tree branches to clamp the mud-covered "beggar rabbit".
After breaking open the mud seal, a smell of mud and meat suddenly came to Xie Yu.
Hungry became more intense, so Xie Yu ignored the heat and started to eat with big mouthfuls while blowing air.
Paired with hot water in a red clay pot, although some places are a bit burnt, the taste is light because there is no salt, and the earthy smell is a bit strong without seasonings.
However, as I practice Taoism and Qi, I haven't been able to have a big meal of Xie Yu for a long time. I was very happy to eat it this time.
Just when Xie Yu was satisfied with his meal, Xiaoguangdian also came back after investigating the information.
It turned out that not far upstream of the water stream, a small light spot detected two people, a man and a woman, repairing the water upstream.
The two monks have now naturally turned into mortal bodies without power. Without any interference, the small light point decisively attached itself to one of them and began to listen for information.
Although due to lack of intelligence, these two people sprinkled a lot of dog food in the pictures that were sent back.
But Xie Yu still collected a lot of useful information, and also understood what it meant to enter the three levels of the Demon Suppressing Cave.
It turns out that the various sects recommend foundation-building monks to the Demon Suppressing Cave, but that does not mean that the recommendation qualifies them to enter.
Because of the special circumstances of the Demon-Suppressing Cave, the party guarding the Demon-Suppressing Cave will also have to put the foundation-building monks who come here to a test.
This is the so-called test of passing three levels. Someone should have told Xie Yu about this.
But the person who asked Xie Yu to come had a certain purpose behind his back, so naturally he didn't mention it. In addition, because time was too tight, Xie Yu didn't stop at the Zhenmo Town near the Zhenmo Cave, so the news was missed by Xie Yu.
These three passes were set up by the great monks when the Demon Suppressing Cave was built, taking into account the special characteristics of the Demon Suppressing Cave.
But today, the loopholes have naturally been found by the "smart" monks.
First of all, the first level is called "Transformation into Mortal". This is to test whether ordinary monks can awaken with their own consciousness after absorbing the "fallen demonic energy".
You must know that among the thousands of monks in the world, each monk's physique is different. Some monks' physiques are naturally "anti-demon" and such people are naturally the most welcome in the Demon-Suppressing Cave.
Naturally, this kind of people are the easiest to wake up with the help of their heavenly appearance after a sudden encounter with the corrupted demonic energy.
There is also a kind of monk whose physique is "demonic". This type of monk can be said to have the potential to cultivate demons. If this type of monks reaches the Demon Suppressing Cave, they will probably join the main force of the demonic path.
The forces of the Suppressing Demon Cave and the righteous path of the world, including the evil path, will not allow this kind of situation to happen.
Therefore, the first "Transformation into Mortal" test is mainly aimed at this type of people.
It's just that the demand for "anti-demon" and "demon-loving" monks is too small compared to the demand for the demon-suppressing cave.
Monks with a neutral constitution are the main force in monasticism.
What should we do, except for monks who are gifted and can awaken on their own?
Grain
Naturally, there are other ways, such as some special spiritual trees and spiritual plants, which are born with demon-suppressing properties.
In the first test, by pressing the bark leaves under the tongue, you can basically wake up your consciousness during the "transformation" stage.
These two people also used the valuable Bodhi Kasyapa prepared for them in the door to press it under their tongues and awakened through "transformation into mortals".
Of course, there is also a "love child" prepared for them in the door to ensure that the two "little lovers" are together when they wake up.
Okay, I'm being bullied again!
However, these two people are indeed not ordinary. The woman's name is Ning Zhongze. She is a late-stage practitioner of Foundation Establishment and a descendant of a Jindan elder from the Tianyong sect.
The man's name was Yue Buqun, and he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Looking at his appearance, Xie Yu said that he also wanted to be a free man. Of course, the female Xiujun was handsome, and the male protagonist was upright and handsome, so it was a perfect match.
Looking at my white hair, short stature, and being a soft-boiled person, it is so difficult...
However, holding back his complaints, Xie Yu realized that those who could go to this Demon Suppressing Cave were indeed elite monks.
That Yue Buqun said that he was average in the middle stage of foundation building, but in the early stage of foundation building, if he didn't have the plug-in Gourd Mark, he would probably be just a bastard.
Holding back his worries, Xie Yu continued to sort out the information.
After this foundation-building monk successfully awakened under the influence of the fallen demonic energy and "transformed into a mortal", he would naturally encounter various dangers.
At this time, the monks without any weapons or spiritual power naturally had to think of other ways.
One of them is that you have to buy it in the Demon-Suppressing Cave, a one-time storage charm made from spiritual plants that have adapted to the Demon-Suppressing Cave.
Only this kind of talisman can bring items that do not contain spiritual energy, such as clothes, daily necessities, food, and ordinary mortal weapons.
Of course, this disposable storage charm can only be used once, and the size of the space varies depending on the price.
In addition, each person can only bring one storage charm, Xie Yu seriously suspected that the Demon Suppressing Cave was "cutting leeks"!
No wonder in the picture, Xie Yu saw the two of them neatly dressed, with a cloth package beside them, and the senior sister Ning Zhongze had a dagger in her hand.
Junior brother Yue Buqun has a spear with a wooden handle next to him, which must have been a disposable storage charm.
But these things are just for self-defense.
If you want to pass the skeleton test like the one Xie Yu encountered, it still won't work.
To be continued...
