Chapter 86
time flies.

In Heishui Town, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and the Taoist boys who worked in the alchemy room every day walked more hurriedly than before.

Fortunately, after the official announcement of the big soldiers, there were fewer and fewer jobs in the town, and the Taoist boys didn't need to be busy anymore. They had a lot of time to worry.

On the day when the big soldiers officially started, the town seemed to be turned into a barracks, pedestrians with swords, soldiers, bows and arrows at their waists, and the Taoist boys completely stopped hiding the hostility on their faces.

Some people even completely lost their sense of proportion on this day, thinking that the town would condone them, and when they owed money to eat wine or buy things on credit, they would fight violently after being rejected.

Fortunately, these people were immediately suppressed by the patrolling Taoist boys.

The big soldiers who come back every 12 years, although more than half of the Taoist boys in the town have to play, there are still a group of old Taoist boys in the town anyway, and they can live for so long, and none of them are easy to provoke .

With them taking care of it, the whole big troop incident was only chaotic on the surface, but it was actually proceeding in an orderly manner.

The Taoist boys in the main courtyards will be called into the courtyards in batches according to the courtyards and hall entrances, and wait for the hall masters to lead them out of the town.

As for the scattered Taoist boys who have not entered the courtyard, they are brought into the streets and alleys according to the courtyard they are in, and there are also Taoist boys assigned by the town to take charge.

On the night before this day, Yu Lie did not stay in the quiet room of the alchemy room, but in the stone house where he lived alone.

He didn't do any exercises, he didn't make medicine, he didn't even meditate and adjust his breath, he just simply slept through the night.

Until the next day, at dawn.

The sound of the trumpet sounded as dull as a bull's horn, which alarmed the starlings in the stone house, and the starlings immediately called out: "Master, get up! Master, get up!"

Yu Lie slowly opened his eyes, washed and tidied up.

He inspected the bloody clam belly, and he carried the bag specially used to cover people's eyes:
"A set of talisman paper, two armored horse charms, 72 strong blood pills, 24 high-quality strong blood pills, 24 Jiangshou pills, [-] Rouzhi detoxification pills, two large bottles of Zhixue powder, three bottles of insect repellent powder, seven A bottle of Huagu powder, five bottles of deodorant powder..."

Except for the talisman paper prepared by Taoist Guo, Yu Lie has refined a lot of suitable pills by himself these days. Basically, he has prepared everything he can think of.

Especially Qiangxue Pill, this kind of thing can not only assist in cultivation, but also can be used as Bigu Pill to a certain extent, and it can also increase the effect of healing. Yu Lie prepared a lot of them.

Among them, the high-quality Qiangxue Pill was prepared by him with the fish eggs of the Black Snake Fish King. Its effect is even stronger, and one pill can be worth at least three ordinary pills. Enough for him to practice for more than half a month.

If all the above-mentioned elixir were sold and exchanged for a blood vessel, it should be more than enough!

After the rest of the list was counted, they took them back one by one into the belly of the blood clam.

Apart from the most critical spells and elixirs, there are a lot of other miscellaneous goods in the belly of the blood clam, such as fishing rods, medicine pots, and some prepared medicinal materials.

The rest of the list is to fill the belly of the blood clam as full as it can be filled.

After dealing with all these and making sure that nothing was missed, he just put on a layer of dark scale soft armor, which fits tightly around the whole body, and put on another layer of strong clothing outside.

Although the Black Snake Fish King was gnawed by Yu Lie, there was not even a bone left, but Yu Lie deliberately left a large piece of fish skin and scales, and after tanning it by himself, it was made into a lined armor.

With this set of armor and his own iron skin with copper ribs, even if someone uses a blood weapon to chop him, it will not be able to break the defense for a while.

Especially when Yu Lie put on this armor tanned with black snake fish scales, he unexpectedly found that as long as he moved the blackness on his body surface, the armor on his body would harden. The top is hardened, as if he is wearing a blood armor, which is quite magical.

Yu Lie smoothed out the last creases on the jersey, he took a deep breath, picked up a dark red longbow on the wall, called for myna, and stepped outside the house.

The red bow on his body was exactly the blood vessel he had chosen in Guo Daoren's shop that day.

This bow is made from the poisonous red fruit tree. The wooden core is taken, wrapped in the mucus of the red poisonous frog and soaked for ten years, and the long tongue of the red poisonous frog is used as the bowstring.

The entire longbow, no matter what kind of arrows it uses, just needs to be placed on it for a while, and poisonous blood will seep in and poison the arrows.

Precisely because its toxicity is too strong, ordinary Taoists use it, and they have to wear detoxification pills at all times, otherwise they will be easily poisoned after using it for too long.

But for Yu Lie, this was not the reason why he chose this bow.Because of poisoning, he can actually do it, just smear the blood before shooting the arrow, or even lick it.

The reason why I chose this longbow is because this bow has a name-spontaneous longbow.

It is a blood weapon. Any Taoist who uses a drop of blood to refine it can use this bow to shoot arrows steadily and relentlessly like a frog and a toad sticking out its tongue.

And the longer it is used, the more accurate the Taoist archery will be, and the longer it will be warmed up, the Taoist can also get an intuitive feel from it, which is convenient for using other bows and arrows in the future!
Such magical effect is the biggest reason why Yu Lie chose it.

Because Yu Lie doesn't know much about archery, and he can't practice it in a hurry, but he is not afraid of poison, and can hold the longbow for a long time without time limit, which is enough to fully develop the effect of this longbow.

If he used gunpowder arrows again, he could even shoot and kill enemies within a range of nearly a thousand steps!
With a bow and arrows on his back, Yu Lie went out with his luggage.

Once out of the yard, the landlady next door was actually lying on the walled yard in broad daylight, looking around lazily, and knocking sunflower seeds.

Seeing Yu Lie, the landlady waved her hand at Yu Lie, and said charmingly, "Brother Yu, don't die outside, the servant's family is still waiting to give you meat."

Yu Lie didn't turn his head back, just waved his hand at the other party, and walked towards the alchemy room with big strides.

go straight.

It was a rare good day, and the road was dusty.

When Yu Lie came to Dukou, all the Taoist boys who should be in the battle in Dukou were still there, and he was the only one missing.

As soon as he came, the crowd surrounded him, and suddenly there was a lot of noise, and there was also the sound of mules, horses and donkeys.

It was the carrot heads who got pony, dwarf mule and other things from somewhere.Although these short horses and mules can't ride, they can carry goods, and they can barely walk the mountain road and go down the mountain with everyone.

After some soothing and anxious waiting.

A Taoist wearing a mask and riding a black panther on his crotch, led a group of people behind him, nodded towards Yu Lie, and immediately someone ran over to tell Yu Lie.

A stack of thick brochures was also handed over to Yu Lie, on which were written requirements for various medicinal materials, gold stones, etc., as well as the corresponding rewards. Among the rewards, there were talismans, medicine pills, weapons, and even first-class products. Skills, blood vessels and other rare items.

These are the various tasks that the Taoist boys of the town need to complete after they go down the mountain, with rewards and punishments.

However, Yu Lie only glanced at the brochure, paid a little attention to the words "Xishuidan", and then handed the brochure to Luobotou to be circulated.

For the lower Taoist boys, the big soldiers are just searching mountains and forests to complete the task, just like ordinary people's corvee.

But for a middle Taoist boy like Yu Lie, it is an experience, and it is only an experience.

It is the experience of letting them see blood in advance and gaining the qualifications to be promoted to a high-ranking Taoist boy!

Yu Lie suppressed the thoughts in his heart, waved and ordered the poisonous Taoist boy behind him, and mixed into the team of the leopard rider.

Vocals
All kinds of people stepped on the streets of Heishui Town, attracting the mortals in the town to visit one after another. It was so lively!
The Taoist boys who went down the mountain were also full of various emotions such as excitement, apprehension, excitement, nervousness, fear, etc., talking and talking non-stop.But when they completely walked out of the town and came to the vast mountains and wilderness, everyone's voices were lowered, and only nervousness remained in their hearts.

Fortunately, within a hundred miles of the town, there are roads leading to the villages and hills in various places, and the Taoist boys who wandered outside in advance came to join the teams at the entrances of the halls.

The hall where Yu Lie was located was led to a village sixty miles away from Heishui Town.

Everyone is a Taoist boy, and at least they are inferior. The sixty-mile mountain road is not too difficult, no one is left behind, and they arrived at the village without any surprises or dangers.

As soon as I came to the stockade, different from the hard life such as eating and sleeping in the open air imagined by many Taoist boys, the houses in the stockade were prepared early in the morning. The mountain people took the initiative to donate their houses, and they moved to the pigpen and sheep pen to live in.

All the Paotang Taoist boys got a separate residence for a while.The mountain people offered melons, fruits, animal meat, and wine, and all men, women, and children joined the battle to serve the group of people who came here.

This suddenly made some Taoist boys feel that life outside the town is even more comfortable than in the town.After all, quite a few of them had to live crowded together in the town, with no place to stay.

"Hey! It's not hard at all to go out of town this time?"

From time to time, a Daoist would say:

"That's right, this place will be our next stronghold, and there are superiors stationed here, so it won't be too difficult."

Someone else murmured: "Perhaps it will be difficult to collect herbs afterwards, but this is the first day, so we have to enjoy it."

Just like that, the vast majority of Taoist boys immediately let go, cherishing the rare comfort.

Some of them asked the mountain people to borrow their wives, and even more than one of them got into the house together.

Yu Lie was vigilant, so he explained to the Taoist boys under his hand, telling everyone not to take it lightly after leaving the town.

However, he only gave a few instructions, and when he saw that some people couldn't bear it, he just let them go.

The unrestrained behavior of the Taoist boys lasted until the second half of the night.

It wasn't until early in the morning that the village was completely quiet, and it became dark again, not even the barking of dogs...
