The pursuit led them to the Jialing River, but when they reached the river, they lost sight of Tang Suifeng, Tang Zixuan and other Tang Clan members.
"Damn it! They escaped!" Qing Zhui stamped his foot, looking angry.
Ning Tao said: "In addition to hidden weapons, the Tang Sect is also good at light skills. Those guys must be able to run through the mountains and forests much faster than us. When they get here, there must be a boat to pick them up."
"What's next?"
Ning Tao moved his nose slightly and quickly located the scent he wanted to target. "They went downstream. We walked along the river. When there is a boat, we rent a boat."
His nose was always much stronger than Qing Zhui's tongue.
Qing Zhui followed Ning Tao downstream.
For a while at first, Ning Tao could occasionally catch the smell coming from the river, but then it became fainter and fainter. In the end, even he couldn't catch the smell left by the Tang clan people. This is a big river after all, and the wind in the canyon is strong. In addition, the scorching sun evaporates the river water and produces water vapor. The smell of the Tangmen people left in the air has long been diluted and decomposed by the wind, water and sunlight.
Ning Tao's eyes moved to a small island in the river. It was actually part of a mountain cut by the river. It was shaped like a steamed bun and covered with dense trees.
Qing Zhui also looked away and asked, "Did those guys hide on that small island?"
"It's possible." Ning Tao said, but he was not sure.
Qing Zhui said excitedly: "Then let's go up and take a look. If the Tang Sect's lair is on some small island, let's go up and kill them all!"
Ning Tao had heard Qing Zhui say "kill them all" several times along the way. He was a little worried and said in his heart: "Qing Zhui, you are just recovering from your illness, why do you think about killing all day long? Like this No, don’t imitate your sister.”
Qing Zhui had a strange expression on his face, "I am a monster. If I don't kill people or harm others, what kind of monster am I?"
Ning Tao was slightly stunned. He obviously didn't expect Qing Zhui to answer him like this.
Qing Zhui continued: "God created all things, and all things have their own roles and functions. For example, a lion must hunt other animals, otherwise how can it survive? I am a demon, and I am born to kill and harm people. , this is the instinct given to me by God. If I don’t kill or harm others, wouldn’t I be violating the laws of heaven? What’s more, my sister and I also need to kill and harm others. Those vicious and evil souls are our disciples. Required energy.”
Ning Tao understood and was relieved.
She was born a demon, just like lions and tigers in nature, born to hunt other animals. Lions and tigers are existences created by nature to maintain the balance of the ecological chain. Demons also play this role, but they serve not nature, but the way of heaven. Demons like to hunt down those vicious and evil people and use their souls as energy for training. This is actually a means of balance!
"From now on, if you want to kill or harm whomever you want, ask me. You can only kill and harm whomever I give you, okay?" Ning Tao stared at Qing Zhui.
Qing Zhui smiled sweetly, "That's it, it's settled, let's talk about it."
Ning Tao also smiled, and then extended his hand to Qing Zhui.
Qing Zhui opened her little cherry mouth and spit out her long, cute tongue.
The smile on Ning Tao's face suddenly froze. What he heard was "pull the snake to make sure". He thought she was a snake, so he reached out to pull the snake. But Qing Zhui stuck out his tongue at him, and he finally realized that they were talking about "pulling the tongue" and not "pulling the snake". But the question is, how can it be possible to pull the tongue! Qing Zhui's long tongue trembled and swayed endlessly, and she accidentally started to show off her real skills again. This technology is innate and beyond human reach.
"Pull my tongue." Qing Zhui urged.
Ning Tao raised his hand bravely, grabbed Qing Zhui's tongue with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, shook it gently twice, and said seriously: "Pull the tongue to make sure."
Everyone on his side had withdrawn their hands and left, but Qing Zhui was still standing there with his tongue hanging out.
Tongue pulling, shouldn't both parties stick out their tongues
Walking along the river, Ning Tao and Qing Zhui arrived at the location corresponding to the small island in the river half an hour later. The two climbed up a hillside and observed the small island across the river.
The island is covered with dense forest. Because no one can go up there, many of the trees are towering ancient trees. The huge tree crowns block out the sky and the sun. It is impossible to see any living or animal activities on the island. Are there any buildings built on the island
Ning Tao climbed up a tree and awakened the sight and hearing states of his eyes and nose. This time, he saw some innate weather fields, but they were not of humans, but of birds. The small island in the river, where no one can go, has become a paradise for birds. But except for birds, he didn't find any innate weather fields on the island.
"Did I make a mistake in my judgment and those guys from the Tang Sect went down the river?" Ning Tao felt a little depressed.
Qing Zhui got impatient and waited under the tree. Using his hands and feet, he climbed up next to Ning Tao and said impatiently: "Brother Ning, what did you find?"
Ning Tao said casually: "There are no people on the island, only birds." He was sure that Qing Zhui was older than him, much bigger. It felt a bit embarrassing for her to call her brother, but he was too lazy to care about it.
Qing Zhui suddenly climbed in front of Ning Tao, hooked one foot on the branch at Ning Tao's feet, wrapped his body around the branch with a crash, and stretched towards the end of the branch.
This resilience is also true technology.
Ning Tao asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Qing Zhui didn't speak. He stretched out his right arm and stuck two green-white fingers on a small green mushroom parasitic on the bark of the tree, and then returned to Ning Tao's side.
Ning Tao's eyes fell on the small green mushroom in her hand. Its skin was covered with a layer of fine lin patterns, which was very strange. Its smell is also very special, a snake-like smell. He became even more curious, "What kind of mushroom is this?"
Qing Zhui said: "This is a snakeskin mushroom, a very rare elixir. When I was sick, my sister looked for this snakeskin mushroom for me everywhere, but it is very rare and only grows in places with abundant spiritual energy. It’s hard to find. My sister once bought me two of them, which cost a lot of money.”
Ning Tao's heart moved, "You said this kind of snake skin mushroom only grows in places with abundant spiritual energy?"
Qing Zhui nodded.
Ning Tao's eyes moved to the small island in the river again, but from too far away, he could not see any signs of spiritual energy being released on that island.
Qing Zhui put the snake mushroom into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it.
Ning Tao said: "I'll go back and get something before I come back."
He hugged the tree trunk and slid down.
Qing Zhui imitated his example and slid down while hugging the tree trunk. He hugged one side and she hugged the other. Their postures overlapped each other, which was particularly funny.
Ning Tao stopped, "Why do you want to imitate me?"
Qing Zhui thought for a moment, then suddenly turned upside down and continued to slide down to the foot of the tree with his head on his feet. The long green skirt hangs down, the long snow-white legs sandwich the rough tree trunk, and there is a very stimulating shape outlined by the white triangular fabric...
Ning Tao's whole body felt bad.
"So you won't say that I learned from you? Really, you haven't applied for a patent..." Qing Zhui stopped, looked back at Ning Tao, and muttered.
Ning Tao's hands fell freely and hit the ground with a bang.
This time Qing Zhui didn't imitate him and climbed down from the tree trunk backwards.
Ning Tao got up from the ground, looked around, and then selected a rock wall. He walked under the rock wall, bit off his right index finger, and then drew a blood lock in a hidden corner of the rock wall. He opened the blood lock and said to Qing Zhui: "Wait for me here. Don't walk around. I'll get something and I'll be back soon."
Qing Zhui said: "Then I'll look around here to see if there are any snakeskin mushrooms."
Ning Tao nodded, opened the blood lock with the key, and then stepped into the dark door of convenience.
Qing Zhui's figure shook a few times and disappeared into the forest.
The convenience door on the rock wall disappeared and opened again after a few minutes. When Ning Tao came out of the convenience door on the rock wall, he already had a small medicine box in his hand. He looked around, but didn't see Qing Zhui. He didn't bother to call her. He carried the small medicine box and came to the ancient pine tree with snake skin mushrooms growing on it.
Ning Tao opened the small medicine box, took out the Xuntu Inkstone, and poured 30 ml of ink into the Xuntu Inkstone.
In the past, his small medicine box only contained account books, bamboo slips, acupuncture needles, and some ordinary medicines and medical supplies. Now, Xuntu inkstones and ink have become regular items in the small medicine box. He has already thought about it. From now on, whenever he goes to a place, he will use a soil-seeking inkstone to detect whether there is spiritual soil in that place. He will also leave blood locks in places where good medicinal materials can be collected. When he needs medicinal materials for alchemy, he will Remote destinations can be reached quickly.
He wants to visit places like Shennongjia, Changbai Mountain, the primeval forests of the Amazon River Basin, and even the Yellowstone Park in the United States to find medicinal materials and spiritual soil and leave blood locks. He wants to build a convenient place that can quickly travel around the world. The starting point of the door network is Tianwai Clinic.
As soon as the ink was poured into the Xuntu inkstone, a mysterious energy field was immediately born, and ripples appeared on the surface of the ink.
Ning Tao felt uncontrollably excited, "There is spiritual soil! There is spiritual soil nearby!"
In the Xuntu inkstone, all the ripples converge towards a scale. That scale refers not to a place around you, but to the uninhabited island in the rapids of the river!
A voice suddenly came from behind, and there was that familiar smell, with a hint of sultry fragrance.
Ning Tao didn't look back, "Where did you go?"
Qing Zhui walked out from behind a tree with a disappointed look on his face, "I went to look for snake mushrooms, but unfortunately I couldn't find them."
"It wouldn't be precious if it was so easy to find. I'm going to get the spiritual soil from the small island in the river now. You can go with me." Ning Tao said.
Qing Zhui said in surprise: "You mean... there is spiritual soil on that island?"
Ning Tao said: "The inkstone in my hand is called the Xuntu Inkstone. It is a magic weapon that specially selects spiritual soil. If it says there is it, then it must be there. Come on, come with me. When you come back, I will give you the piece where you picked mushrooms. If the bark is planted in spiritual soil, many snake mushrooms may grow."
A smile suddenly appeared on Qing Zhui's face, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"
