Chapter 20 The giant python in the lake (please collect it, please recommend it)
On this day, a regular customer came to Qingshi Mountain.
This regular customer is none other than Ling Ruguo, who escorted more than 3,000 ordinary people from Xia Zhi Mountain to settle around Qingshi Mountain a few months ago. The main purpose of his trip was to pay Ling Pengyun's salary for the next six months.
The Ling family has adopted a one-time payment of half a year's salary to clan members who are sent abroad, in order to reduce the situation where clan members who are away from home have difficulty receiving their salary.
For the tribesmen who are stationed in the lower-level Lingshan Mountains within the family territory, there will be dedicated personnel who will personally come to distribute their salaries between June and July every year.
As for why the salary is not paid out in one year or even in two or three years, it is very simple. Ling cannot afford so many resources at once.
Qingshi Mountain, the top of the mountain.
"Peng Yun, on my way from Xiazhui Mountain to Qingshi Mountain, I saw that boy Ling Dong leading more than 500 Qingshi Village villagers to build a road. I heard what Ling Dong said, this is what you proposed. What?" Ling Ruguo looked at Ling Pengyun and asked with an appreciative look on his face.
Ling Pengyun saw the change in Ling Ruguo's expression and naturally guessed that the question was not a bad thing. He told the truth and praised Ling Ruguo's descendants. "Yes, it was great-grandson's idea, but the way he was able to organize so many villagers so smoothly was thanks to Village Chief Ling. Without his help, great-grandson would have had many difficulties in implementing this method!"
“You kid, don’t try to collect merit from that kid Ling Dong. I still know how capable he is. Besides, as a mortal member of my Ling family, how dare you not listen to you, the resident monk? It's a joke that they don't know about their own lives!" Ling Ruguo said domineeringly.
Then he praised Ling Pengyun for taking the lead in building the road.
“But your proposal to build a road is indeed a good one. If you want to improve the prosperity of Qingshi Village, you really need to build a road! Furthermore, with the tens of thousands of ordinary people in Xiazhi Town, with the help of this Qingshi Village Food supply can also be better!”
“I won’t say more words of praise. Just remember, no matter whether you do something big or small for the family, the family will know it and will definitely not forget what you have done!”
Ling Ruguo looked solemn and said something meaningful.
Ling Pengyun looked slightly moved and replied. "Great-grandfather, I understand!"
"I still have eleven members of the clan who are stationed in the spiritual veins. I have not gone to distribute the salary, so I will not delay it too much. This is your salary for the next six months, which is sixty spiritual stones and one hundred and twenty kilograms of green jade spiritual rice. , six Qi-training pills, and twelve Huangya pills!”
“Family extra! Brother Eleven has already told me about giving you two yellow bud pills every month. If he hadn’t told me, it would be difficult for me to hand it over to you. Don’t worry, I won’t tell you about it!” Ling Ru! Guo took out a storage bag from his arms, summoned Ling Pengyun's offerings for the next six months, and said solemnly.
Ling Pengyun cupped his hands and thanked him. "Here comes the third great-grandfather of Lao!"
Then, he took out the two bottles of venom and twenty spiritual stones that he had obtained from killing the Mo Yun snake more than forty days ago from his storage bag, and took out the Take Ling into the fruit path. "Third great-grandfather, these are the two bottles of venom and two snake gallbladders that I got from killing the Moyun poisonous snake a few days ago. I would like to ask you to help me pass it on to the eighth and tenth grandfathers so that they can help me refine the explosive poison beads. , and detoxifying pills! The extra twenty spiritual stones were given to the two grandfathers to buy. Buy the rest of the refining materials needed to refine the explosive poison beads and detoxifying pills!”
Ling Pengyun’s “Tenth Grandfather” is the eldest son of the Ling family, and he is also the only alchemist of the Ling family. The level of alchemy is first-level mid-level, and most of the elixirs flowing out of the family are from his hands.
The "eighth ancestor" is naturally Ling Yunan, the weapon refiner.
"Mo Yun Viper? Good boy, you can kill both of these monsters, or two of them. It's not easy! In the future, whether you are fighting monsters or monks, don't fight to the death. If you can't fight, Win and run away first! Don't hold on!"
"I will help you talk to Yun An about refining the explosive poison beads, but can he have it? I can't guarantee the time!"
"Recently, I feel that my end is approaching. In less than a year, I am afraid that my life span will be exhausted, and my only one will not live up to expectations and have no spiritual roots. My grandson... I'll ask you to take more care of me!" Ling Ruguo took the two bottles of venom and twenty spiritual stones handed over by Ling Pengyun, turned around and said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he jumped on the back of the fairy crane in the middle stage of Qi refining next to him, and flew away from Qingshi Mountain on the fairy crane.
Ling Pengyun looked at Ling Ruguo's hunched back, his mood gradually became lower and he felt some empathy.
“My life span during this period of Qi training will not last more than a hundred years. If I cannot build the foundation, I will definitely turn into a piece of loess after a hundred years!”
“This is the road to finding immortality. I don’t know if I can get through it!” “Eternal life…”
“Third great-grandfather!”
"Hey!"
Ling Pengyun stood blankly on the top of Qingshi Mountain for half an hour before he came back to his senses.
"Immortality is too far, so take it step by step!"
"Currently, the bottleneck closest to me is the sixth level of Qi training!"
Ling Pengyun's expression Determined, he muttered to himself and returned to the cave halfway up the mountain to continue his daily hard training.
As early as half a month ago, Ling Pengyun successfully broke through the bottleneck that had trapped him for several months with the help of two spiritual peaches with gentle spiritual power and no impurities, and was promoted to the fifth level of Qi training.
In the half year in Qingshi Mountain, in addition to the gains in cultivation, Ling Pengyun also successfully mastered the water arrow technique that he practiced hard every day to the level of Dacheng, which is enough to be used within three breaths. come out.
In addition to this technique, Ling Pengyun experienced the Mo Yun poisonous snake attack for more than forty days, and also dabbled in a water defense spell "Water Shield Technique".
The Water Shield Technique is a first-level mid-level spell. It has the same effect as the Water Shield Talisman, both of which create a water shield.
Because this spell is a defensive spell, it is difficult to understand. Even though Ling Pengyun has a good talent in water spells, in forty days, he has just started.
It is far not as fast as comprehending the hydrothorn technique and water arrow technique.
As for Ling Pengyun's thorny vine, in the process of Ling Pengyun's daily use of spiritual power to nourish it, it slowly restored its origin and recovered its injuries.
More than one hundred and ten days later, the dirt road leading to Xiazhui Town for more than 300 miles has been completed.
The autumnal equinox has also arrived, and the thousands of acres of rice planted by the villagers of Qingshi Village have also reached maturity.
The unique fragrance of rice also spreads to the entire surrounding Qingshi Village.
In the eyes of the villagers of Qingshi Village, the golden ears of wheat in the rice fields are what they need to feed themselves in the coming year, as well as coins. Many families have already planned to sell the excess rice to Xiazhui Town to earn money. What should I buy with my money?
Whether to add some clothes to the children, build a larger house, or buy a cow and sheep...
When the villagers of Qingshi Village are enjoying the joy of the harvest, they are quiet on weekdays. In the quiet bluestone lake, a black shadow appeared and silently swallowed a child playing alone in the lake.
At this time, the black figure appeared. It was a giant blue python as big as a darshan.
After it devoured the child in one bite, its abdomen also swelled greatly.
After eating, the giant blue python looked at the golden rice fields where cheers were heard. A greedy desire flashed in its cold eyes, and then it looked up at the dozens of trees not far away. The Qingshi Mountain, which is 10 feet tall, shows fear in his eyes.
After only three breaths, the giant blue python, which had reached its full belly, quietly disappeared into the lake without a trace.
