The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 231 Strange Stone
After everyone went out along the cave, they dispersed into the mountain without delay.

The sun slanted westward, and time passed. After Xiao Yu climbed up the slope from one side, she let out a long breath. She supported the tree trunk to rest for a while. No, I really can't move at this moment.

Tsing Yi turned around and saw that her face was slightly pale and her forehead was covered with sweat, she said worriedly: "Master, please take a good rest, this subordinate is looking around."

Xiao Yu didn't try to be brave, she nodded: "You go, I will call you if I have something to do."

After thinking about it, Tsing Yi still felt uneasy, took out a pack of medicinal powder from her bosom, and sprinkled it around Xiao Yu.

"These are poisonous powders made by my subordinates, which are specially designed to deal with insects, ants and poisonous snakes. After spraying them, they will not dare to approach them when they smell the smell."

Xiao Yu nodded: "You are very thoughtful."

Tsing Yi handed the sword to Xiao Yu: "The master is holding it for self-defense, and the subordinates have other weapons."

"Ah."

Tsing Yi made sure there was nothing wrong, so she turned and left.

Xiao Yu felt his legs were sore after standing for a while, so he sat down against the big tree, and he didn't have to worry about not being able to do anything in the field, comfort is king.

She took out the porcelain bottle given by Zhang Lao before, and poured out two pills. Feeling that the bottle was much lighter, she whispered: "It seems that I have to ask Zhang Lao for a little more when I go back."

After closing the stopper, Xiao Yu put away the porcelain bottle, put two pills into her mouth, and held them quietly. The cool feeling and slightly sweet taste spread down her lips and tongue to her throat. Her brain became much clearer, and her body The tiredness seemed to dissipate.

She let out a breath of cool air and closed her eyes.

After a while, when she felt that she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard a bird song.

It's very crisp, nice to hear, and seems to be very close to me.

When she opened her eyes and looked over, she saw a green bird squatting on the ground looking at her with its head tilted. Its eyes were black and bright, innocent and cute.

For some reason, Xiao Yu looked at the little bird and suddenly thought of Jun Rong.

"Chirp?"

Xiaoniao looked at her curiously, as if trying to identify what Xiao Yu was.

Xiao Yu also looked at her, and slowly stretched out his hand to hook the little bird. The little bird was small and courageous, and jumped a little closer, but it was probably affected by Tsing Yi's medicine powder, so it hesitated Not daring to go forward, he has been wandering in a place that is not far or near.

"Chirp!"

The little bird fluttered its wings twice, and seemed a little unhappy.

Xiao Yu chuckled lightly: "I'm quite tempered."

After resting enough, she stood up, stretched her legs and feet, her eyes froze, there was a green snake in the grass not far behind the bird, it almost merged with the grass, if it hadn't vomited snake letters , Xiao Yu didn't even notice.

Although it is a law of nature that the strong prey on the weak, Xiao Yu couldn't bear to look at the bird's agile eyes.

"Just this one time."

Xiao Yu said something in a low voice, raised his sword and slashed at the little bird. The little bird flew up in fright. Turning around, he slashed directly at the head of the poisonous snake. The snake was severely chopped by this blow, and the bird narrowly avoided it. It hovered in mid-air for a while.

Probably because he understood that Xiao Yu was a good person, he helped it, and the bird landed on Xiao Yu's shoulder after a while, and kept chirping.

Xiao Yu stared closely at the poisonous snake, seeing that it was not dead and still staring at this side, she swiped the tip of her sword across the ground, picked up Tsing Yi's powder and sprinkled it, and the poisonous snake writhed crazily on the ground immediately.

Xiao Yu took a step forward and stabbed straight at the poisonous snake with the long sword. As a result, the snake jumped up suddenly, and Xiao Yu subconsciously backed away, and the snake took the opportunity to run away.

"A feint?" Xiao Yu smiled, and didn't chase after him any more, let him go if he should die.

But her sword was confiscated, and she still stabbed into the ground, but instead of hitting the soft soil, she hit something hard with a "clang" sound, which sounded like a stone. Xiao Yu pushed the grass aside and took a look. , I saw a black stone half buried in the soil, only a sharp point was exposed on it.

"hiss--"

She poked the stone again with her sword, "Dang——"

The sound is a bit like metal, not like pure stone.

She bent down and drew the dagger from the side of her boot, and dug the stone out of the ground.

She picked it up with a handkerchief wrapped around the stone, and took a closer look. It was black with a bit of metallic luster, and it was very heavy in her hand.

Just looking at it, I thought this thing looked familiar, now take a closer look, is it not familiar?This thing is almost exactly the same as the token from Lianhua Palace!
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Xiao Yu seemed to understand what the people from Lianhua Palace were doing here, maybe they were looking for this kind of stone?

The leaves of grass rustled, and Xiao Yu suddenly turned around to look, but Tsing Yi was startled: "Master, what kind of eyes are you looking at? What's wrong? Why is there blood on the sword? Hey—why is there a bird on your shoulder?" ah?"

Xiao Yu was stunned by his series of questions, "Help me hold this stone."

Tsing Yi took it in a daze, and immediately sank his hand, almost hitting the stone on his foot.

He hurriedly hugged it tightly, "This...why is it so heavy?"

Xiao Yu ignored him, took out the black token from his pocket, put it on the side of the stone for comparison, the texture and weight were very similar, basically it can be concluded that it is a kind of material.

Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This token is not made of this stone, is it?"

Xiao Yu hooked his lips: "Almost, this trip really yielded a lot."

Tsing Yi was stunned for a while, then came to his senses and said excitedly: "Master, you mean that the people in Lianhua Palace are looking for this kind of stone?"

"Well, most likely, this should be a kind of ore, hard and dense, and it's good for making weapons."

"Look around and see if there are any nearby."

"it is good!"

With a direction, Tsing Yi suddenly became motivated.

Xiao Yu was watching while walking, Xiaoniao stood on Xiao Yu's shoulder and watched for a while, "Chirp—"

"Huh?" Xiao Yu turned his face sideways, and the little bird rubbed its bright yellow beak against Xiao Yu's side face, then spread its wings and flew away.

"Let's go."

Xiao Yu watched Xiaoniao leave with a smile, feeling quite strange in her heart.

Fate is really an interesting thing, often giving people a surprise encounter.

Just like this bird, they catch a glimpse in the afternoon sun and bid farewell in the fall of the setting sun.

If I hadn't suddenly developed compassion and saved it, maybe I wouldn't have found this stone, maybe good people will really be rewarded.

She watched the little bird fly into the forest tenderly, and continued to work on her own.

But this time they were not so lucky, and they didn't find the same stone until the dusk.
