Chapter 2 What a sky-swallowing beast
The old man doubted whether what he ate was Qi Ningcao. Maybe he really ate it wrong?
Tian Lin also doubted whether what he ate was Ningqi grass. After all, he still remembered the words "beef buns" that appeared on the cow dung.
But if what he ate was not Qi Ningcao, why was he not poisoned, and why did he feel that his strength had increased?
The old man scratched the itch all night and felt weak the next day.
"You brat, let's go. We are about to reach Yueyue Sect. If you can't give up, just leave me alone."
The old man said weakly, looking at the wooden railing window, trying to look through the window at the sky outside.
"Okay, you stay here."
Tian Lin stood up, but as soon as he took two steps, someone hugged his ankles.
I saw the old man with snot and tears saying under his crotch: "Bad boy, do you really want to leave me here and walk away alone?"
He said: "Have you forgotten that the two of us supported each other along the way. Have you forgotten that along the way, we were bullied by them together, but we stayed together for warmth?"
Tian Lin took his feet out of the old man's hand and walked out of the woodshed.
In the woodshed, the old man's lung-splitting voice soon came out: "You brat, I can't live without you now. How can I live without you?"
Tian Lin couldn't bear it any longer, stopped and shouted, "Please be quiet and don't attract the wolf. In this wilderness, the two of us encountered a wolf, and we didn't know how we died." ”
But the old man still kept whining, and Tian Lin simply stopped talking to him.
He picked up his bamboo pole and walked to the puddle of cow dung at the door again.
[Cracked beef buns: can effectively replenish physical strength, relieve hunger, and can be used with confidence]
Tian Lin clicked his tongue and looked at the cow dung.
Whether the buns in front of me are beef buns or cow dung seems to be a philosophical question.
Tian Lin thought and looked at it for a long time, but finally lacked the courage to eat it.
He poked the bamboo pole into the cow dung and walked towards the hillside again.
Cordyceps is not uncommon in the wilderness, because not only people will not eat it, but also animals such as cattle, sheep, and rabbits avoid it.
Tian Lin is now basically sure that what he is eating is Cordyceps sinensis. This is due to his previous experience and his trust in the old man's decades of experience.
He also couldn't figure out why it was okay for him to eat Cordyceps sinensis, but the old man would be poisoned if he ate Cordyceps sinensis.
Probably because the 'tip' said it was Qi-Condensing Grass, so if you eat it, you will have the effects of Qi-Condensing Grass.
Just like that lump of cow dung, the prompt shows that it is a 'beef bun', and eating it yourself is equivalent to eating a beef bun.
The old man didn't have such a 'hint' of his own, so Cordyceps was Cordyceps to him, and cow dung was cow dung to him.
Hey, why do I always think of cow dung?
Probably, he was really hungry.
Tian Lin spent the whole morning collecting wild vegetables.
He was half full after eating Cordyceps sinensis and found another stream.
Tian Lin, who had not drank water for a day and a night, took a sip of water from the stream. The sweet and refreshing water shocked him.
He brushed the messy hair on his forehead again on the bank and looked at the stream, looking at his dirty self reflected on the water.
"If you don't seek immortality, where should you go? I don't know anyone in this world, and it's been seven or eight years since my predecessor left my hometown."
Tian Lin was confused for a while, and suddenly smiled at himself on the water: "Then try to seek immortality. Anyway, there will be no shortage of cordyceps in the mountains, and I no longer have to worry about starving to death."
After he finished speaking, he washed his face with stream water and scooped up a tube of water from the bamboo tube hanging around his waist.
[Young Sky-Swallowing Demon: The Sky-Swallowing Demon eats birds and beasts. It has the ability to swallow the sky and the earth. It is an ancient spiritual beast. Its meat can strengthen the body, and its blood can cleanse the muscles and cut the marrow. 】
Looking at the prompt words and the tadpoles in the bamboo tube, Tian Lin fell silent. Is this an ancient spiritual beast?
Can this thing cleanse the muscles and cut the marrow?
It can swallow a chicken - no, it can't swallow that thing either!
Tian Lin was silent for a long time. This time he no longer hesitated and swallowed the tadpole and the water without frowning.
After a long while, Tian Lin didn't feel anything unusual.
“Maybe it’s because the meat is too small, and it’s not enough to fit between the teeth.”
He looked into the stream again and caught a dozen tadpoles this time.
"It seems to have some effect. Is it my imagination?"
Tian Lin never caught tadpoles again, but regardless of whether it was effective or not, how could such a small amount of meat be of much use?
What he wanted to catch was actually the adult version of the Sky-Swallowing Beast - commonly known as the Toad.
But things didn't go as planned, and Tadpole's mother didn't let Tian Lin succeed.
Tian Lin doesn’t know why some things can display entries but others cannot.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He specifically looked at some vegetation and rocks, and found that these vegetation and rocks did not generate any entries.
After a simple bath, Tian Lin returned with the washed wild vegetables and bamboo tubes. He had no intention of abandoning the old man.
Tian Lin trusted the non-threatening old man more than the team he wanted to join.
Although everyone leaves home to seek immortality, those who seek immortality and those who seek immortality are different after all.
"You brat, I knew you wouldn't leave me alone."
The old man leaned against the wall with a look of trust in Tian Lin.
"Can you loosen my sleeves? I won't run away."
The old man didn't let go and opened his mouth: "Feed me."
"Get up, put away your two big yellow teeth, eat early and rest early, we have to go on the road tomorrow."
There were actually a lot of wild vegetables, but the old man was reluctant to eat them too quickly.
He picked up a leaf and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt particularly sweet after eating the bitter vegetable leaves.
No longer worried about being abandoned, no longer afraid of hunger, the old man's energy has recovered a lot.
He boasted to Tian Lin: "When my father was twenty-five years old, he became a Huahua Lang and went out to seek immortality, leaving my mother and I at home. I am more promising than my father. I became a Huahua Lang when I was seventeen and just got married. Now that I’m a Hwarang, I’ve traveled almost all over the country.”
He wanted to brag but was interrupted by Tian Lin. Tian Lin ridiculed him and said: "You and your father are really promising. You don't want your wife and children. Why go out and ask for help? Your mother is unlucky to meet you. She brought you up so easily." He left his wife behind and ran away.”
Tian Lin asked him: "After all these years, you are now over seventy years old, have you prayed for immortality?"
The old man was stunned and could no longer put the vegetable leaves in his mouth into his mouth.
Tian Lin didn't want to talk to him anymore at this time and went out of the house alone.
After a while, there were sobbing in the room.
Tian Lin couldn't help but gloat and laugh when he heard the sobs.
Fortunately, my predecessor did not abandon his family just because he wanted to seek immortality.
Because he went out after his mother died and he was really lonely in the village.
His father abandoned the mother and son when he was very young and went out to seek immortality and never came back.
