At night, the bonfire is warm.
After the noisy wind passed, the family of three sat together again to live their daily life.
There's no way to make a fuss. No matter who wants to leave, you can't leave this environment. All you can do is squat on the side and watch others make out, feeling like a loser. It would be better to get involved and confront them head on.
The two of them sat on Zhao Changhe's left and right, helping him sharpen arrows. From time to time, they glared at each other with vigilant eyes, indicating that they were watching them and they were not allowed to eat secretly.
Turtle didn't know how the situation turned out like this, and by the time he reacted, it was already like this.
Then I thought about it and it didn't seem to be a bad thing. I have always known about their relationship. Things have to be faced one day. In fact, with Chi Chi's talent, it should be a matter of time for her to become the leader. Even Suzaku can't stop her forever. Now that she has faced it in advance, it seems that there is nothing to worry about except losing some face for the Venerable. It seems better than revealing it later. In the future, Suzaku will not know how it will end...
You don't have to hide or be sneaky, you can express your emotions without restraint.
As Sanniang thought about it, she looked at Chichi's chest with ill intentions. Although the little white tiger was not pure, it was relatively ordinary, below average. It was said that he could pretend to be a man before, but he was obviously no match for her proud stature. Looking at her eyes just now, she was so sour that she wanted to cut herself off.
What's the point of you being like that? Men don't like to wash their faces in there, and it's not easy to have children! If you hadn't known each other earlier, who would be interested in you like that
Turtle raised his head proudly.
Xia Chichi gritted his teeth secretly, and found a small mirror from somewhere. He touched his face and looked at the corners of his eyes as if checking for crow's feet.
Sanniang understood and was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
This little bitch was making fun of her old age, silently asking if the old woman had crow's feet.
It has to be said that a woman's youth is invincible. No matter who is interested in her, in fact, as long as she is a young girl of this age, even if she looks like a sow, many people will like her. Moreover, this little white tiger is beautiful in almost every way except that she is a little plain. She is the kind that attracts everyone in the world. It is said that Wang Zhaoling, Yang Bugui and even Huangfu Shaozong can't forget her.
The little goblin will attract bees and butterflies.
Sanniang groaned as she sharpened the arrow shaft and stopped talking. Anyway, I am here and your young body is of no use, so why are you so proud
It is a pure tragedy that the Four Symbols Sect, which has always been united, has become divided because of something like this, with the saint ladies glaring at each other.
Zhao Changhe remained silent in the deadly vortex between the two people. However, his silence would eventually come to an end. When he put the bowstring on the bow and finished tuning it, the sound of the string being pulled for testing was heard, and the night was broken.
Both women turned to look at him and said in unison: "How?"
"The string doesn't feel very strong. I feel like it will break if I use too much force... Let's use it for now. It's better than nothing. I'll find a suitable string later." Zhao Changhe forced himself to get to the point and change the weird atmosphere between them: "Sanniang said to open the furnace for quenching. Can we do it here? Don't you have the relevant tools?"
Sanniang had only boasted before, and there was really no way to open a furnace here, but after sharpening so many arrows, she realized that it was not necessary: "The hardness of this wood is far beyond what you described before. If the tip is sharpened, it will be an extremely strong arrowhead, not inferior to iron. I think it can be simpler to use it directly. In addition, the arrows are not assisted by feathers. Can your archery skills be stable and accurate?"
Zhao Changhe hesitated a little: "We have to try."
Sanniang said proudly, "There is a book on archery in the ring my father gave you. See if it can be of any use to you."
Xia Chichi turned her head and wanted to laugh. Her uncle actually compared the dowry.
Okay, okay, when I become the leader, I will take the entire Four Symbols Sect as my dowry, and Reverend Xuanwu will be one of the dowries. How do you think of this routine
Huangfu Qing, who was far away in the capital, sneezed again.
Zhao Changhe took the bow and arrow and studied it briefly. He was overjoyed: "Good stuff, good stuff."
He took a bare arrow without feathers or a head, put it on the string and aimed at the treetop in the distance: "I will shoot at the tip of the small branch that is bent like a letter "Y".
The two women turned their heads to look. The so-called "B-shaped" branch was several hundred steps away. It was difficult to see in the dark. The two couldn't find it for a while. Then the bowstrings sounded and the arrows had hit the target.
The sound of the string so close at hand and the result of the arrow hitting the target hundreds of steps away occurred almost simultaneously, but it seemed that the latter occurred a little bit earlier.
This arrow definitely exceeded the speed of sound, reaching the speed level of Cui Wenjing's sword when he first saw it.
When I looked at the branches in the distance again, I saw that the withering began to spread from the top of the tree that was shot, and gradually the whole tree began to dry up and die.
The tree has no soul, but this arrow can destroy its soul.
Sanniang and Chi Chi looked at each other subconsciously and took a deep breath in their hearts.
This arrow... If he finds an opportunity to launch a long-range sneak attack, the Heavenly Ranking will be killed! It doesn't even need to hit the vital point, just a touch will kill!
The lack of feathers and head does not affect the strength of this arrow at all! If you change the string to a better one...
Zhao Changhe fondled the bow and arrow in his hand and said with a smile, "This tree can destroy the soul, and the leaves can nourish the soul if you pick them to make medicine. Besides, there are more treasures here, many of them are of the fortune level. You guys take a rest, I'll go look for them." The two said in unison, "Why should we take a rest?"
Zhao Changhe's expression froze for a moment. Of course he took the opportunity to escape from the Shura Field... Did you know that if you sit among you, the vortex of air currents can crush you to pieces
He knew in his heart that it was unrealistic to want to avoid it, especially since this place was supposed to be Xia Chichi's holy land, with a place that was extremely suitable for her to practice. Before, everyone was blind and didn't know which was which, so they could only practice and gain insights at random. In fact, judging from the introduction of the cheating in the Heavenly Book, there should be a place to rely on.
Zhao Changhe made up his mind and stretched out both hands at the same time, holding the two people on the left and right: "Follow me."
After saying that, he pulled him and ran away.
As expected, the scene was tense and fast-paced, and neither of them got angry with him. They just looked at their hands being held, and then turned to look at each other. Their expressions were indescribable.
… …
The island is not too big. If you walk around the forest and the coast, you can probably walk around the whole island and return to the junction of the sea and the sky in one day. But the central forest is dense, resulting in many things in the forest. If you want to explore what is here and understand the uses of various flowers, plants and trees, you may need to stay here for a month or two.
Previously, Sanniang was worried and suggested leaving early because she knew that there were really a lot of treasures here. She was worried that Zhao Changhe and Chi Chi would become obsessed with treasure hunting and practicing, and that the Sea Emperor would give them a chance to revive. She thought that they should first deal with the Sea Emperor and come back later.
But now it turns out that this so-called dense forest is like a back garden in Zhao Changhe's eyes. He knows everything in it, and he can tell the value of anything and pick it directly.
In a short while, the ring was already stuffed with many kinds of rare treasures, which made Sanniang feel as if she was in a dream.
If I had known that your nose was as sharp as a dog's, you could make money so quickly. Why would I work so hard
In fact, Zhao Changhe’s nose was not very sensitive at all, and he still couldn’t tell what brands of spices the two women used.
The cheating function of the Heavenly Book is to point out what plants there are in this place, what their uses are, and what kind of practices or injuries they can be effective for, but it cannot indicate where the things are.
But Zhao Changhe has another cheat, the Ancient Xuanwu's "Mountain and River Atlas". The "Mountain and River Atlas" also records the uses of items, but it is not as detailed as the Heavenly Book. However, it is much more detailed than the Heavenly Book in another aspect, that is, the value of the map.
Since the Ancient Azure Dragon had been to this place before, the Ancient Black Tortoise would not be unfamiliar with it either, as he had a diagram of this place. Therefore, Zhao Changhe easily found all kinds of things in the dense forest. To this day, Sanniang and Chi Chi still don't know how he found them.
Including right now.
After passing through a space covered by dense forest, a pool of water suddenly appeared in front of us.
There is also a green dragon statue in the center of the pool, but it is much larger than the ones seen before. The green dragon emerges from the water, roars and ascends to the sky, but is hidden by the countless towering trees around it.
The powerful wood energy here was so strong that Xia Chichi almost became oxygen intoxicated and Sanniang felt suffocated.
The statue in the previous battle was clearly a reflection of this statue... In other words, the statue was supposed to lead to here, but because of the distortion of the Heavenly Book, it brought people to the edge of the Heavenly Book at the junction of the sea and the sky.
If you want to go out, you should stay here.
But the Azure Dragon Seal is placed outside, how can it be opened
Xia Chichi was thinking when he heard Zhao Changhe say, "Don't look at it. This statue is not the way out. It's not here... I said we are looking for treasures here."
"Which one is the treasure?"
"Have you noticed that in the forest before, there were all kinds of flowers, plants and trees, but there was one thing missing."
Xia Chichi blurted out: "Fruit."
"That's right." Zhao Changhe pointed at the lake and said, "Nothing here can bear fruit, because all the energy that can bear fruit will eventually be intercepted and absorbed here and transformed into fruit here."
Xia Chichi looked carefully and saw five lotus-leaf-like plants scattered in the pond, arranged in a very ordinary plum blossom shape. It was unknown what kind of mysterious principle was contained in them.
In the center of the lotus leaf, there is a lotus root-like fruit, but unlike ordinary lotus roots, it is not straight and solid, but curved and winding, like a dragon.
Zhao Changhe was introducing: "This thing is called the East Pole Fruit. It has no healing effect or the effect of increasing cultivation. It has two functions. One is to increase longevity and maintain youth. The other is that after taking it, it can make the laws of this place clearer and easier to understand, without the awkward and desperate efforts to comprehend. To put it bluntly, it helps you control the East Pole. It is a bit like a Taoist fruit in this regard. With it, other plants cannot bear fruit. The ancient Azure Dragon and the Night Emperor have eaten it, and now it's your turn."
Sanniang and Xia Chichi were stunned: "How did you know such knowledge? You even know what Yedi has eaten. Isn't it a bit outrageous..."
Zhao Changhe was silent for a moment: "If I say I am Ye Di's cook, would you believe me?"
