The black wooden stick was stirred round and round in the black sesame paste-like round basin, and the threads brought out took a full two seconds to disappear.
In the woodshed.
Lin Xin was sitting by the basin, holding a big stick in his hand, stirring circles with a blank expression.
There was no fire under the round basin, so Lin Xin moved a few small black round pots from the side, and opened the lid of one of them.
He cautiously used a pair of long chopsticks to stick in, and when the chopsticks stretched out, there was a huge gray-white spider with a round belly, about the size of a thumb.
The spider's stomach has been rounded into a ball, like a balloon that seems to burst if you don't pay attention. The remaining eight legs struggled at the end of the chopsticks.
"Pregnant gray spiders, thirteen..." Lin Xin nimbly picked up thirteen gray and white female spiders from the jar, smashed them with a big stick, and put them into the dark round basin.
After closing the lid, he took another jar from the side and opened the lid.
This time the chopsticks went in, and what came out was a large plaster-colored leech.
"Five live leeches...."
Lin Xin threw it in without mercy, and continued to smash it with a big stick.
The last jar was opened, and inside was something black like mud, with a foul smell and stench coming out.
"Fresh rotten black mud, three or two..." Lin Xin threw it in with no expression on his face, and continued to stir, but his heart and stomach were already churning.
Is this thing really edible
He looked at the pot of black ointment in front of him with a foul smell and pungent smell, and he didn't know how many times he had struggled in his heart.
After mixing it well, he used the prepared mold to pour the black ointment in balls, then sealed the outside with a layer of wax, sealed it well, and threw it into the water tank.
Then Lin Xin took a small jar of dye from the side, which was an oily red dye, and poured it gently along the edge of the tank.
He didn't put down the jar until all the dye had been poured out and the water in the tank turned completely red.
Just sat on the edge and waited for more than two hours.
Suddenly, there was a faint hiss of gas leaking from the water tank.
Lin Xin's eyes were already closed, but when he heard the voice, he opened them immediately.
"It's done!"
He quickly let go of the water in the tank, took out the mold inside, black balls the size of eyeballs, thirty-one of them succeeded, and the air leaked. And the rest that didn't leak, all failed.
"Thirty-one, that's enough..." Lin Xin looked at the black pill mold in front of him, and then he just needed to find the long-eared tiger.
"It's no wonder that it's difficult for the inner family to succeed. Even if there is the way of Guiyuan Pill, this medicine alone costs thousands of taels of silver. The cost of a medicine is indeed only a few hundred taels, but the success rate is too low. .. If I hadn't been able to accurately memorize my body's memory and perfectly replicate a successful brewing. If I were someone else, it would be possible to succeed with dozens of medicinal materials."
Lin Xin sighed in his heart, but this is only a semi-finished product, and it needs the blood of the long-eared tiger to swallow it.
"Sure enough, you are poor and rich in martial arts... Reading is a huge profit. As long as you read good books and get fame, you can reach the sky in one step. It is much more cost-effective than practicing martial arts..."
"Next, it's time to find the long-eared tiger..." Lin Xin had a hunch that when he really cultivated his inner energy and became an inner family, his attribute ability might surprise him greatly.
The gray sky is covered with large stretches of ladder clouds, the sun is blocked by the clouds, and only a faint white light shines down.
at noon.
Between the rolling black and green mountains, on a winding gray driveway, two men in white and green variegated clothes were leaning against the mountain wall, as if they were quietly waiting for something.
Soon in the distant sky, a black bird fluttered over and landed lightly on one of the men's hands.
He quickly removed the paper roll tied to the little bird's leg, and unfolded it for a look.
"How is it?" another man asked in a low voice.
"Brother Liu has already set off." Putting away the note, the man let the bird fly and heaved a sigh of relief.
"The red pine door is just a bluff, that senior brother Lao Shizi is just an embroidered pillow, and the most capable person inside the door is that woman."
"But that's also a master insider."
"That's why it's not enough to have only one priest, two against one, absolutely foolproof! Besides, that woman's swordsmanship is inferior to that of an adult."
"It's best to wait until Lin Zhiwen can relax his guard before doing it."
"Naturally."
The long-eared tiger is between four and six meters long and has a body shape like a cow. If most people think it is bulky and slow-moving, they are wrong.
The speed of the long-eared tiger may not be as fast as many agile animals, but it is still much faster than humans.
In the dense forest, Lin Xin and An Ying hid in the grass by a creek crevice between stones. They had painted a green grass mud on their hands and faces, giving off the smell of green grass.
The two squatted side by side, dressed in black and gray, with long sleeves and trousers all tied up, inconspicuous. Looking towards the creek through the gap between two large rocks.
In the early morning, there was still a trace of white mist in the woods, and some wild animals came to drink water at the edge of the stream.
The creek is surrounded by gray and white rocks, and there are tall and crooked trees. Some vines such as climbing vines grow randomly along the trees and stones, and there are many unknown flowers and plants. It is very convenient for people to hide their body shape.
Lin Xin looked through the cracks in the rocks. On the left side of the creek were some wild boars and wild deer bowing their heads to the river, while a large area on the right was occupied by a big golden cat with stripes all over its body.
This big cat stood as tall as a person and was at least five meters long. It was simply an enlarged version of the tigers Lin Xin had seen before.
What's special to note is that its pair of ears are very long, like two yellow pointed horns standing on top of its head.
This is the long-eared tiger, a tyrant in the mountains and forests near Hongsong Mountain.
It has been three full days since Lin Xin and An Ying entered Lin Zi. Under the leadership of An Ying, a veteran who often went to the mountains to hunt wild game to fill their stomachs, it took them three days to finally find a long-eared tiger.
Long-eared tigers are rare in the first place, and Hongsong Mountain is still a place where there are often rumors of long-eared tigers. Lin Xin suspects that the reason why Hongsongmen decided the mountain gate here may be because there are traces of long-eared tigers here.
But finding the long-eared tiger is one thing, but how to do it is another.
The long-eared tiger is a very keen animal. Although its ears are long, its hearing is very ordinary, but its sense of smell is really powerful. That's why Lin Xin and An Ying needed to apply grass mud.
"What should we do now?" An Ying asked in a low voice. This guy had a fierce look in his eyes, and he was eager to try.
"Don't worry... don't worry... can you fight head-on?" Lin Xin asked in a low voice, keeping his eyes on the long-eared tiger.
"Probably not... I've encountered it once before. It's very powerful, and the burst is very strong!" An Ying licked her lips and replied. "But we can use medicine!"
"Don't worry..." Lin Xin held his breath. Since the long-eared tiger is drinking water here, there is still a chance, but how to get rid of this big guy at once is the key.
"It can't be killed, because the blood needs to be warmed up. Take one tablet each time, six times a day, for five consecutive days. That means it must be captured alive. It takes five consecutive bloodletting days." Lin Xin felt a little helpless. It is already very difficult to deal with such a big beast, and it is necessary to capture it alive.
If it weren't for An Ying being by his side, he would even feel that his life was in danger staying here.
After all, he can't outrun the king of beasts. Fortunately, An Ying is a master of the inner family, with amazing explosive power and strength. Although she can't beat the long-eared tiger, it is still no problem to lead him to climb trees and run. At least long-eared tigers can't climb trees.
"The poisons left by Master Uncle are just right for use." An Ying suggested from the sidelines.
Lin Xin gave her a blank look. He drank the blood after using the poison. Didn't he poison himself
"It seems that we can only use Mongolian sweat medicine...."
Lin Xin made up his mind.
Hours later, the sun cleared the sky.
The long-eared tiger squatting by the creek taking a nap suddenly turned its head slightly, its nose twitching.
In the grass not far from it, a wounded doe was staggering and trying to escape, but its legs were entangled by several thick vines, unable to move.
A large piece of skin was torn bloody from the doe's rump. The smell of blood floated over, causing the long-eared tiger to stick out its tongue and lick its mouth.
Aw~~
It let out a low growl, got up slowly, and walked towards the doe unhurriedly.
With a tiger roar, the doe was so frightened that her whole body went limp, and she fell to the ground, unable to struggle no matter what.
Walking to the side of the doe, the long-eared tiger lowered its head and smelled the wound on the doe's buttocks, then shook its head.
"Eat, bite!!" Lin Xin kept urging in the distance. But the long-eared tiger just dangled on the side, wandering around the doe, but didn't go up to bite.
Lin Xin was in a hurry. He got ten people's worth of Mongolian sweat medicine on the doe's wound. As long as the long-eared tiger bites, it will definitely be tricked.
"The long-eared tiger is very cunning." An Ying's eyes flashed fiercely, "I'd better go up and kill it."
"You can't fight head-on." Lin Xin said angrily.
"Isn't it enough to apply sweat medicine to the sword?" An Ying just wanted to fight.
"Can you withstand its slap with your sword?" Lin Xin was speechless.
"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" An Ying was eager to try.
"You can wait until the meeting is over." Lin Xin couldn't help it.
The long-eared tiger over there was purely using the doe as a toy at this time, and stretched out its paws to pat it around. The doe was so frightened that her whole body became stiff and she dared not move.
But half a day passed, and it just didn't bite.
Lin Xin waited anxiously. The long-eared tiger over there is still calm.
It's a pity that neither of them knows how to bow and arrow, otherwise they could hide in the tree and shoot arrows. It is good to apply sweat medicine to the arrow.
Time passed bit by bit, and the long-eared tiger seemed to be tired of it. Looking around, there were no other creatures. It finally bit the doe's buttocks.
"It's done...!" Lin Xin was about to clap his hands, when he saw the long-eared tiger's mouth tilted, and it just avoided the area where the sweat was applied, and bit on another thigh.
Lin Xin's excited mood just now fell down again.
"This guy!"
"It's really cunning." An Ying was also speechless at the side.
At the moment when the two were distracted, the long-eared tiger exerted all its strength and disappeared into the grass with a whimper.
"Be careful!" An Ying stood up abruptly and drew her sword.
choke!
The blade of the sword stabbed to the front right, and three white lights flashed, which was the unique move of the Songyang Needle.
Ow! !
With a roar of a tiger, it was so close at hand.
Lin Xin's scalp was numb, and he felt a gust of evil wind rushing towards him from the front right.
hide? That's too late!
too close! The long-eared tiger was only a few meters away.
It was too late for his burst of speed, this time was only the gap between two blinks of an ordinary person.
Almost an instinctive reaction, Lin Xin seemed to have rehearsed countless movements, and the long sword around his waist was suddenly unsheathed.
Straight stab! !
Without any moves, he stabbed straight with almost perfect precision, aiming at the abdomen of the long-eared tiger that was rushing. .
