Chapter 90 Lingling’s Persistence
“I’m sure! There are many cities in the south of our country. Today I saw a primary school student disappear. What I didn’t see, those disappearances that happened elsewhere are also true. As it happens, there is one less human child and woman, and one more mountain spirit.
Maybe not too many people disappear every year because of this, but in a few years, if someone will take them. Uprooted, but the ordinary people who sacrificed during this period are real! "
When she said these words, Lingling's expression was full of determination. Although her face and voice were immature, her mind and thoughts were strong. But far more than the average adult!
Facing demons and difficulties, she never hesitated or flinched in her mind!
"We can indeed use various excuses to let this hidden danger go, and pretend that we have solved this mountain spirit, and the problem will be gone.
But because this problem is always dangerous, it is getting closer to the demon's mouth step by step. People, they are real.
Maybe it is a little girl similar to me. She may be a brother's sister, a father's daughter, an important part of a family
Even if we solve the problem of the mountain spirit, these problems will be accompanied by other things in the future."
Lingling's eyes are bright, just like her voice at this time,
< br>
"But Grandpa! What has been done will be done again! I believe that even if there is no Lingling in the world, there will be other people to solve the problem."
After saying that, she turned to look at this Bai Mo, "What do you think?"
"You're right, there's nothing wrong with this, but I just fight and protect you."
Lingling rolled her eyes, this lazy guy , I don’t know how to use my brain to help.
When Old Man Bao looked at Lingling at this time, he seemed to have seen the same determined man again, who did not care about difficulties and dangers.
"Now that I have made a decision, grandpa will support you."
Waving his hand, Old Man Bao slowly walked up to the attic.
While Lingling and Bai Mo were discussing how to find out those mountain spirits, they finally came to the conclusion that they knew too little about the mountain spirits and needed to know more first.
Old man Bao walked down from the attic again. He waved to the open space next to the sofa and saw a cubic meter of books neatly stacked there.
Facing the doubtful looks of the two men, Old Man Bao slowly explained:
"These are some records about mountain spirits. Take a look and you may be able to find some answers. Old man, I'll go have lunch first."
Lingling glanced at Bai Mo, "Half for each person! "
"I want to see it too."
"As a summoning mage, you should know a lot about various monsters and summoned beasts, but you don't even know the mountain elves. Obviously. I haven’t learned anything yet.”
“Alas~” Bai Mo sighed, reaching for two books, giving one to Lingling, and opening the other by himself, but said:
"This mountain spirit is obviously an overseas species. I haven't even finished watching the monsters of Kyushu. How can I care about the special products of other places."
Lingling ignored him, and her wise and bright eyes began to glance at ten lines. The sweep started.
Bai Mo opened the book, and the book in his hand was called Yuanxian Zhiyi. It was a book about what happened in a county in Ningzhou during a certain period of time.
The content is more or less varied, including mountain spirits.
It is described that there were mountain spirits in Yuan County at that time, but people at that time described the appearance of mountain spirits as having a dark face, a wide body, lots of hair, and reverse heels.
The appearance of the mountain spirit that Bai Mo saw now was completely different.
Therefore, once the mountain spirit sneaked into the city, it was easy to be discovered.
Of course Bai Mo would not think that people at that time were blind and wrote randomly. Naturally, the mountain spirits at that time looked like this.
Demons can also evolve, just like the dust devils in the northwest. Heat and fire are their natural enemies, so they selected a group of descendants who are not afraid of fire.
In order to verify his guess, he spent the next time looking for some descriptions of mountain spirits in Ningzhou counties from different dynasties and at different times.
I found that indeed, every dynasty, and even the beginning and end of every dynasty, had different descriptions of mountain spirits in those county annals.
Obviously, just like the Dust Storm Demon Grasshopper adapts to the environment and evolves, so does this mountain elf.
They need to eat human children or women to reproduce, and they continue to evolve into human appearances, making themselves more confusing.
Lingling was reading a miscellany, which said that one thousand three hundred years ago, a human-like demon appeared in a small town in Ningzhou.
As a result, children and women continued to disappear in the city, and the city lord knew that these were monsters called mountain spirits. He had encountered them in the village when he was a child, and they began to sneak into the city again.
So the city lord imitated the people in the village when he was a child and found a kind of grass called wind-seeking flower and placed one in every house in the city.
When the wind-seeking flower was placed in the house where the mountain spirit was hiding, the wind-seeking flower suddenly triggered the surrounding airflow and floated up.
Looking at this content, Lingling was thoughtful.
Lingling knows that looking for wind flowers is a good choice for using its pollen in the wild to find wind-type monsters.
She guessed that there must be something on the wind-seeking flower that reacted to a certain characteristic of the mountain spirit, which caused the sudden airflow to fly.
And she didn't know what this phenomenon meant.
At the same time, she was not in a hurry to find Fenghua. This method was developed more than a thousand years ago. If it were still useful, mountain spirits would not still exist today.
The information still needs to be checked, and as Lingling reads the strange and strange stories like this miscellany, Lingling discovers that the facts are just as she guessed.
The simple method of searching for wind flowers and mountain spirits can no longer find mountain spirits two hundred years after the records in that miscellany.
In the beginning, as long as this kind of wind-seeking flower is planted in cities or villages or near homes, once a mountain spirit approaches, it will stir up bursts of air currents and make its petals float.
After the simple wind-seeking flower failed to work, Ningzhou actually experienced a period of mountain spirit chaos, and only later did people find a way again.
That is to use the flesh and blood of the mountain spirit as a guide to refine a special wind guide. Once this kind of wind guide gets close to the mountain spirit, it will induce the surrounding airflow and float.
The materials for this kind of wind-finding are constantly changing, from the flesh and fur of mountain spirits, to the essence of flesh and blood, and then to the essence and blood.
Only the main material, Xunfenghua, has not changed.
But these records have not changed since the last dynasty, and the same is true in modern times.
This miscellany that records the use of essence and blood to search for mountain spirits is very thin and very old. Obviously not everyone can check it out or see it.
Lingling didn’t know if this method was still useful now. She wanted to practice it now, but decided to finish reading the rest of the book before talking about it.
"Gulu~~lu~~~" a faint voice.
Bai Mo's ears twitched, he raised his eyes to look at Lingling, and then looked at the time, seven o'clock in the evening.
So he closed the book, told Lingling the evolution and speculation about the appearance of the mountain spirit that he had seen and compiled, and yawned again.
"I still want to practice, so you can go and eat too. I will stay here tonight and I will read with you tomorrow. Don't worry, these books are here."
Lingling nodded and planned to take a break and eat. She was not afraid of what the mountain spirit next to her would do. Grandpa had already used magic to imprison it.
While sucking the noodles, Lingling thought about the news Bai Mo told her about the evolution of the mountain spirit's appearance.
Her intuition told her that this had something to do with the way she saw using wind-seeking flowers to identify and find mountain spirits, and the changes that occurred over time.
It took another two days to read through the pile of books given by Old Man Bao. The following books were all about mountain spirits.
Explaining their distribution in detail, this thing is not only found in the southern part of Ningzhou in Kyushu and the northern part of Danan, but also in the entire Southeast Asia.
Southeast Asia is full of small countries, and some countries even choose to destroy them because they cannot find mountain spirits. As long as they grow fast, the mountain spirits cannot defeat them.
And some weird countries actually want to transform themselves into androgynous like mountain elves, so that they will feel that they are the same kind and avoid being killed or eaten.
There are also some books that analyze the different abilities of mountain elves with different attributes, how mages should respond to battles with mountain elves, and their impact on countries such as Southeast Asia.
After pouring a glass of lemonade for himself and a glass of milk for Lingling, Bai Mo walked out of the bar, placed the milk next to Lingling, and sat down on the other side.
"How about it, is the Xunfeng Yin combined with Xunfenghua and Shanjing essence and blood effective?"
"No." Lingling shook her head, glanced at Bai Mo, and said Calmly said:
"I have checked the wind-seeking plants. They encountered the phenomenon of mountain spirits being able to cause airflow to levitate. This phenomenon was only recorded in ancient times. This situation no longer exists."
"Is the Xunfenghua no longer effective?" Bai Mo frowned.
"No, the fact that the Wind-seeking Flower has been used since thousands of years ago shows that it is useful. We need to find a new method."
"I guess there should be some quality in the mountain spirit that will interact with the Wind-seeking Flower. At first, this trait was very strong, so the ancients only needed to plant this kind of flower nearby to prevent danger."
"But as the mountain spirits evolved, they became more than just human beings. , is also hiding or eliminating this trait in the body bit by bit."
Lingling picked up the milk at hand and took a sip and continued:
"That's why the mountain spirit's flesh and blood will be needed later. Even if the essence and blood are combined with some materials to make Xunfeng Yin, this reaction will occur again in places with mountain spirits.”
"The mountain spirit should still have this substance in his body, but it's not in his flesh and blood, nor in his essence and blood. I plan to collect some of his brain, bones, marrow, and internal organs to try. There will always be results."< br>
When she said these words, Lingling looked calm.
"If you need anything, tell me. I'm going back today. My family said someone wants to see me. It's mysterious."
After Bai Mo finished speaking, Lingling just clicked. Nodding, he drank all the water in the cup and walked out.
When I returned home and came to the reception area, I saw a man wearing field training uniforms with a dusty face.
He looked a few years older than Bai Hanxing. He had a pair of calm and wise eyes on his handsome face. He was sitting on the sofa, but he looked a bit casual.
Bai Shan was pouring tea for him at the side, and he sensed Bai Mo as soon as he arrived.
The man's eyes moved to him, his eyes gentle, just like the smile on his face at this time. Just listen to him say:
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I can't help but be curious and want to know more about the totem you found."
After saying that, he saw Bai Mo sitting opposite With a confused look on his face, he smiled sheepishly:
"Hi, I haven't visited anyone for a long time. I lost my etiquette and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jiang Shaojun!"
"Hello." Bai Mo nodded, but he was a little surprised. He had seen the whole France. Of course he knew this Jiang Shaojun.
It can be said that he helped a lot in finding the totem, but what surprised Bai Mo was that he is not dead yet.
“Why do you want to find out about totems from me?”
In response to Bai Mo’s question, Jiang Shaojun smiled, with enthusiasm and determination on his face,
"I am very interested in them, and at the same time, I was entrusted by a big shot for a certain thing."
Jiang Shaojun said it very vaguely, not that it was a very confidential matter, but that he didn't want to use it Righteousness comes to suppress people.
He just came to ask for advice.
But Bai Mo naturally knew what he was talking about. The big shot is the Great Speaker Shao Zheng.
For the strategic plan of the 20,000-mile coastline, he thought of finding and awakening the ancient totems sleeping on the land of Kyushu. He also entrusted this matter to Jiang Shaojun, a man who was extremely fanatical about totems.
"So, what do you want to know? I may not know more than you." Bai Mo asked simply.
"Tell me about your encounter with the hollow willow. Also, can you show me the totem device?"
"Yes."
The silver light in Bai Mo's hand In a flash, space magic energy surged, and he turned into a silver hairpin gun more than three meters long and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
“This is the totem device of the Hollow Willow. I call it the Silver Hairpin Gun. Before this, I had only heard of the name totem. Regarding the Hollow Willow, I have to start with a mission. ”
After slowly telling what he knew about the Hollow Willow, Bai Mozhao picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. As for the silver hairpin gun, he had already put it away. Then, he looked at the man in front of him who was deep in thought and asked:
"I wonder if it will be helpful to you."
"There is also a connection between totems, such as legends Xuanwu in Xuanwu has two descendants: Baxia and Xuanshe.
The reason why I came to ask you this is to see your totem vessel and to understand the totem information and texture. Let’s see if we can find other totems through these.”
Jiang Shaojun said in a calm tone, “I have been exposed to animal totems before, so I have been exploring this aspect, but I have not gained much so far. .
This is my first time seeing a plant totem, but from your description, this willow should be a source totem, but I don’t know if it has any branches. But no matter what, if it recovers, the Demon City should be safe. "
Bai Mo nodded and did not agree with him. He went to show him the eight-meter-high hollow willow.
Jiang Shaojun could see at a glance that this totem had just recovered. It has only reached the level of an advanced warrior, but I heard that Bai Mo only brought it back for less than half a year, so I think its recovery should not be slow
