Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 7 Is This Thing Poisonous (Thanks to Tongtang's leader)

"You're talking nonsense. I knew at a glance that it had nothing to do with Langya Yuan, but I just don't know who did it." Black Goat stuck out his tongue, his mouth was scorched black, and after the scorched black on the surface fell off, all the blisters came out now.

"Then I don't know. There are people like this in Dagan in the southeast of the wasteland, in Liangshan in the northwest, in the big earthquake in the north, in the northeast of Dali, and around the wasteland. The number is not small, plus a few more A month ago, the wilderness changed drastically, and the sun was in the sky, and now anyone can come here."

The man in black said that there is no solution to this matter and there is no way to track it down.

In the past, everyone had a tacit understanding, and few people came to the wasteland. Now, hey, you have to be careful not to bump into people when you walk.

"Hurry up, it's too close to the mine, it's easy to be spotted."

"Those shepherds are dead, what about the sheep? What about this year's Jinlan ore?" The black goat asked unwillingly while spitting out the bloody water from the burst blisters.

It turned around a few times and came to the col where the flock of sheep had sheltered from the wind. With its head arched against the snow on the ground, it kept chewing everything left on the ground. After a while, it raised its head and looked at the mountain where the Jinlan Mine was located. full of bewilderment.

"Who did this? Killed the shepherd, rescued the sheep, and finally sent the sheep to the mine? Isn't this sick?"

"Let's go, we've stayed here for too long, you've already left traces, if you don't leave, you'll leave more, I don't want to be hunted down by the hawks and dogs of Langyayuan, since the flock of sheep has gone to the mine, I'll find a way to get rid of it later." Just get the information for those flocks."

The man in black looked at the vomit on the ground, waved his hands, rolled up his sleeves, set off a wind and snow, crushed the filth and blew it away, and without waiting for the black goat to reply, he picked up the black goat , the soles of the feet picked up the wind, soaring into the sky.

……

Less than two hours after the man in black robe and the black goat left, the dark clouds in the sky rolled and spread to both sides, and a flying boat flew out of it.

The entire body of the flying boat is black, it looks like metal, but there is no reflection at all, it is more than a hundred feet long, it is difficult to see the interior, only a big flag hangs on the bow, with the word "Langya" written on it.

When the flying boat fell into the clouds, a figure rushed out and fell rapidly. When it was three feet above the ground, it stopped suddenly.

The visitor was dressed in a blue gown, with a white and beardless face, and his face in Chinese characters was full of majesty. He stood in the air, his eyes were radiant, and he scanned his surroundings.

Under the snow, a bone fragment no bigger than a fingernail jumped out automatically and hung in the air. After being stared at by him, a plume of black smoke immediately burst out.

Seeing this, the strong man immediately sneered.

"Black goat? How come there are these offal everywhere, like cockroaches, they can't be killed."

Looking up again at the looming mountains in front of him, the strong man's figure flickered, a layer of halo emerged from the green shirt on his body, wrapping it into a ray of light, and went straight to the mountain where the Jinlan mine was located.

All the way to the entrance of the mine, the strong man stopped and frowned slightly.

In his eyes, the hillside on the left seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist. The divine light appeared in his eyes. The more he tried to see clearly, the denser the fog became. Instead, the divine light disappeared, but he could see clearly up.

"When did such a weird domain appear here?"

Looking at the right side again, in the locust tree forest, there is a gloomy air, the air of death and vitality blend together strangely, without distinguishing each other.

Those transpiring yin qi loosened up, but faintly merged into a whole, as if they could condense into one stream in an instant.

This forest is also extremely weird, and the two places are closely adjacent without leaving a gap, which is even more weird.

Just when the strong man was about to take a step, a voice rang in his ear.

"Zhiqiu, Langya Court has made an agreement with people that if you don't enter Jinlan, don't make a fool of yourself. Moreover, business is important."

The strong man withdrew his feet, turned around and bowed to the flying boat in the sky.

"Mu Zhiqiu knows his mistake, please forgive me, sir."

The brawny man shut his mouth, immediately soared into the sky, and returned to the flying boat.

The flying boat broke through the clouds and disappeared again.

……

Yu Ziqing didn't know that there was already a turbulent situation outside, and he was very happy.

That kind of weird mushroom whose umbrella can grow to be as big as ten feet, I thought it was too huge, the stipe has been lignified, and it tastes like chewing wood. It is not as dense and tender as shiitake mushrooms, and it is also similar to dried tofu, but it is also a little more delicate than dried tofu.

And judging from Yu Ziqing's contact with the food materials, this thing is extremely nutritious, with fat, protein, starch, everything that should be there, but I don't know how this thing grows.

According to the extensive cooking experience in the village, Yu Ziqing took a big pot, added enough water, and simmered it on a slow fire for an hour. The mushrooms that were cut into pieces did not rot in the pot, and they tasted like well-cooked braised pork. , The soup is like honey, it is naturally hung on the spoon, and there is a trace of natural saltiness in the fresh fragrance, even the salt is not needed.

Combined with fat, protein, and starch, the natural satisfaction brought by it is simply unparalleled.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not, it's important to be able to open your belly and eat enough.

It's been a few months, and it's the first time I can eat a full meal. This kind of satisfaction that I just need is not comparable to any delicious food.

Guaranteed to be full, the privilege of the cook, no need to steal.

Only then did Yu Ziqing understand why they had asked him several times what he could do.

Considering the unlucky guy who was executed for stealing white meat because he was too hungry, Yu Ziqing didn't understand why, in this kind of place, being a chef is definitely the best job.

The chief of the village agreed to let him be the cook because he gave him a lot of preferential treatment.

It can even be said that the preferential treatment is a bit too much.

Ever since I went down the burrow with Erhan, and encountered giant beasts and hungry ghosts in the place where the fungus was harvested, Yu Ziqing understood that people who go underground to dig mines will face more danger than he thought. The ones are much bigger.

In addition to guarding against dangers such as landslides, you may also encounter other alien species.

The cook is definitely the safest group of people in the village.

Just because he is a thin and weak chicken, the chief who seems to have to be supported when he walks, can crush him to death with one hand, and he has not threatened, how dare the chief give such preferential treatment without asking so many questions?

Certainly not because of this.

Yu Ziqing wanted to find out, but it was so delicious to be able to eat enough, so let's not worry about it for the time being.

After tidying up the kitchen and helping others to eat, Yu Ziqing, who was already drooling, took two big bowls of mushroom soup and returned to his den.

The old sheep was still sleeping, and the injury from that knife was more serious than he thought.

"Old sheep, get up and eat."

After a long while, the old sheep turned his head weakly, glanced at it, and immediately got up from the straw pile, shaking his head and saying.

"This Jinlan Mushroom is a good thing. It will only grow where the Jinlan Mine is conceived. It will rot within three days after being cut. Within three days, every night, the value will plummet by one grade. It is felled on the same day. I've only heard it, never seen it."

After explaining it to Yu Ziqing as a routine, Lao Yang didn't say anything, buried his head in the wooden bowl, chewed the meat and soup in one go, and didn't even lift his head during the process.

"Lao Yang, you've been hungry for so long, and now you eat so much at once, aren't you afraid of bursting your stomach?" Yu Ziqing was really worried.

"Don't be afraid, I have four stomachs now."

Yu Ziqing was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

He looked at his wooden bowl and pushed it towards the old sheep.

"If you're not full, and you're not afraid of bursting your stomach, you can just keep eating. I'll serve some more after I'm done eating. At least I'm a cook to keep you full. Erhan hit a giant worm today, and the mushroom soup should still be delicious." Have."

"Forget it, I can't eat too much now, you can eat."

Yu Ziqing didn't give in any more, holding the wooden bowl with both hands, slurping the side of the bowl, sucking the thick soup in the bowl, just swallowed a mouthful of warm soup, and the whole person seemed to come back to life from a half-dead state, and the heat came from his belly. It slowly rises and spreads to the limbs and bones. The blood vessels that have been frozen for several months seem to be active again.

"Hiss...ha..."

When the hunger is no longer felt, the umami, salty and meaty taste slowly gain the upper hand.

Yu Ziqing endured the urge to swallow the wind and clouds, chewed slowly, sipped the soup, and kept feeling how much capacity was left in his stomach. It took him a stick of incense to drink a bowl of soup before he swallowed it together with the soup. clean up.

Putting down the wooden bowl, Yu Ziqing lay down in the haystack, feeling the heat continuously spreading in his stomach, an indescribable sense of satisfaction and joy rushed to his heart with an unstoppable attitude, completely occupying it, leaving no trace of it blind spot.

It was the first time in two lifetimes that Yu Ziqing felt this way.

"It seems that you have never been hungry before." The old sheep curled its hooves under its belly, lying on the haystack, and looked at Yu Ziqing curiously. The light in his eyes seemed to be serious for the first time. Recall what Yu Ziqing said.

"Yeah, I've never really felt what hunger is." Yu Ziqing lay there with his eyes closed, and replied softly.

The two fell into silence, enjoying the joy of lying down after eating and drinking together.

After a while, the old sheep yawned.

"When you're here, eat more, and you won't be able to eat it when you leave.

Jinlan Mushroom is a rare mild tonic, only fresh ones are useful. According to the division of Daqian, this is a fourth-grade elixir. It is non-toxic when fresh, and even the weak can eat it with confidence. The law is the best. "

"So, is it poisonous when it's not fresh?" Yu Ziqing's eyes were full of curiosity.

Lao Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at Yu Ziqing in surprise.

"What is not poisonous? In the world, for people, everything that comes into contact with the eyes is poisonous, but the amount of poison contained is so small that it can be ignored. Even if it is water, drinking too much will cause poisoning. "

"Can I make it out? How effective is it? If I can, I'll make some self-defense." Yu Ziqing didn't care so much, he was thinking about self-defense now.

His ability is strong, and he can distinguish life and death with a single shot, but the forward swing is a bit too long. He has made up his mind countless times, and was hacked to death by the enemy before he could draw his sword.

Seeing Yu Ziqing's resolute attitude, Lao Yang said directly without much hesitation.

"Fresh Jinlan mushroom, scrape one part of the top of the umbrella, and then scrape half of the root skin of the same plant, steam nine times and nine times in the same proportion, and grind it into powder. , followed by inhalation, followed by entering the seven orifices, swallowing half a penny can make a person mess up five senses for ten days."

Yu Ziqing was shocked. After hearing this, he quickly got up, turned around and walked out.

Thinking of the large fields of brocade mushrooms in the underground space, if you don't try to get a sack for self-defense first, you're still human.

This is the ultimate enhanced version of lime powder.
