Chapter 42 Harvest
Under the moonlight, Lin Yan emerged from a hole in a deserted temple.
Outside the temple, a group of weak and whimpering beggars have been waiting here.
As soon as they heard the movement, they all jumped up and came over tremblingly: "Okay, okay! okay, okay!"
Lin Yan frowned, took a handful of dozens of copper coins and threw them to the side. The beggars immediately gathered around him, and Lin Yan took the opportunity to leave quickly.
After finding a secluded and uninhabited place, burning the mask and robes, and cleaning the sporadic blood stains, a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky.
Lin Yan returned quickly. He might have just killed someone, and he was still full of evil spirits, so he didn't look for trouble. After returning all the way to the outside of Longmen Pavilion, Lin Yan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just about to enter the museum.
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, and the gate of Hutou Camp next to Longmen Pavilion suddenly opened.
Then they saw two to three hundred Hutou Camp soldiers wearing standard leather armor and carrying strong backs and waists. They filed out of the square formation, and the sound of their footsteps shook the ground.
"Is this...Hutou Camp has launched?!"
The vibration quickly alerted other people, and several disciples ran out.
"Hey, Senior Brother Lin, are you out too?"
Lin Yan nodded as a greeting.
"Hutou Camp has set off?!"
"It's about time."
"Once these two or three hundred people leave, I don't know how many will come back alive."
"There's no way, they're just unlucky."
"You said there will be a scheduled battle every four years. What exactly is the schedule scheduled for?"
"Who knows, it was all arranged by the big shots above."
"Isn't there anyone who objects to it? It's unreasonable to beat people to death for no reason."
"Who knows..."
The faces of the Hutou Camp soldiers were all numb and frightened, but Lin Yan noticed that there was no fear on the faces of more than a dozen officers. They glanced back from time to time, which was meaningful.
Don't officers need to participate in waiting battles?
After watching for a while, when the soldiers disappeared at the end of the road, Lin Yan went directly back to the yard.
Xiaozhi fell asleep at Senior Sister Chen's place, and he happened to take advantage of this time to sort out his harvest.
Light the oil lamp, take it to the yard, and then lay out the items in the package one by one.
Sixteen bottles of Guiming Powder, a mysterious poisonous stone, a spiritual crystal, a copy of "Iron Buddha", a piece of cloth covered with scrawled handwriting, an iron token, three bone china bottles, two red and one white, and two black and white crystals. Poison bombs, nearly forty taels of silver, daggers and other scattered things that Lin Yan found useless.
Most of these things were found from Gan Yang's body. The other five people were simply poor. Apart from contributing more than a dozen taels of silver, they only had some fragmentary and useless things. It felt like going to a ghost market was just a trip to spend money.
"It's really a gold belt for murder and arson. When I went out to buy something, I didn't lose money. In fact, it doubled or tripled!"
As soon as the mind relaxes, excitement and joy will continue to rise.
Compared with mysterious and unknown things like poisonous stones and spiritual crystals, he was more happy with free money.
Forty taels, this is the first time he has seen such a large amount of money since he came to this world!
Now, I have money for actual combat at Qinghong Martial Arts School, and money for Yun Ti Tang. I feel like I have everything, and my wealth is free!
There were too many things, so Lin Yan checked them one by one.
First, take out the mysterious poisonous stone and lift off the black cloth wrapping it.
Apart from the color, no matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary stone.
Lin Yan held the stone with one hand, circulated his energy and blood, and squeezed it hard. Hearing the sound of the stone crunching, it split into three pieces.
"This is……"
From the center of the stone, a round, crystal clear emerald-colored bead as big as a dragon's eye fell out!
As soon as it appeared, wisps of rich, silky green smoke rose from the gaps in the stone.
Lin Yan accidentally inhaled a wisp, and suddenly a wave of hot heat emerged from his heart.
"This is poison, and is it so poisonous?"
Lin Yan's heart tightened, and he immediately went into the house, took out a small water bag filled with water, stuffed the emerald-colored beads along the opening of the bag of suitable size, and then sealed it.
With such a strong toxicity, if the residue is leaked, it will easily hurt Xiaozhi.
Then look at the three broken stones. The bronze color on them is slowly fading away, turning into wisps of light smoke floating out, and soon turning into three gray-white ordinary stones.
"It seems that the stone looks like this entirely because of the emerald poison bead. What on earth is this and why is it so poisonous?"
To ensure that the water bag was sealed and the poisonous mist would not leak out, Lin Yan placed the water bag close to his body.
Then he picked up the spiritual crystal and observed it.
Compared to the jade poison bead, this spiritual crystal is much more ordinary. Apart from the golden vein-like veins on the surface, it really looks like a piece of bone.
"Ganyang said that this thing can increase people's qualifications and help people break through the realm, but he doesn't know how to use it. And the material of this bone, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a serious medicine."
The origin of this spiritual crystal is unknown, and it has a strange bone shape. Without Lin Yan knowing it, he temporarily wrapped it with a piece of cloth and hid it in the gap between his clothes.
I picked up the "Iron Buddha" and flipped through it.
Sure enough, this is a martial arts secret book, and the introduction in it is at least at the secret level. It is a martial arts technique that trains the ability to resist blows.
It is recorded on it that there are stone pagodas, iron pagodas, and the jade pagoda imagined by the creator, with a total of three levels. They have been trained to the highest depths, and the skin is as hard as jade, and can be cut with knives and axes without being damaged.
Logically speaking, with such a powerful effect, this technique should be considered a martial art that is hard to find and is regarded as the foundation of one's life by one force.
However, the operating principle of this exercise is to forcibly lift and compress the body's potential. During the exercise, it will cause great damage to the skin membrane and internal organs.
It is necessary to assist a very precious special prescription to recover every day in order to continue.
The specific medicinal materials used in the prescription are also recorded in the booklet. They are either rare in the world or have become completely extinct.
Therefore, the man who died in the Dripping Blood Cave had not even mastered the Stone Buddha Temple, so he was kicked half to death by Lin Yan.
"It's a pity. This thing is not even considered worthless nowadays. It is purely useless martial arts. Even if you sell it, it will cost you only a few taels of silver."
Putting it aside, Lin Yan picked up another piece of cloth with scrawled writing on it, which was found from Poison Master Gan Yang.
The handwriting was messy, like random notes, and completely out of order. Lin Yan only realized it after reading all the words with difficulty.
"Is this Gan Yang's notebook? It contains scattered records of Gan Yang's research on the antidote, but it was not successful for the time being.
"So in the end, he could only use his own secret medicine, Sanxiang Ruanjin Powder, and modified it into a drug that could temporarily paralyze people's consciousness.
"No wonder at that time, the guy reached into the venom and thought he was fine."
This Sanxiang Ruanjin Powder cannot cause death, but it can numb people's muscles and bones, making them weak and weak and losing their ability to resist.
Gan Yang also proudly recorded on the cloth that he refined a hundred parts of Sanxiang Ruanjin Powder according to a certain method into Ten-Fragrant Ruanjin Powder, which was so effective that even powerful warriors could not withstand it.
“A warrior’s Qi and blood circulate quickly, which means his metabolic ability is extremely strong.
“The more powerful a warrior is, the less likely he is to be poisoned.
"Gan Yang was able to develop a drug that can knock down two realms just by relying on his strength. He is truly a genius in the realm of poison.
"If it weren't for the poison-reducing special effect that makes me invulnerable to all poisons, even if there were ten of me put together, we wouldn't be his opponent.
"Unfortunately, there is no prescription for poison powder recorded on it. There are only these two bottles..."
Lin Yan picked up three bone china bottles, two red and one white. The red bottles contained Shixiang Ruanjin Powder, and the white bottles contained their antidote.
"I'm not short of venom now. This medicine is amazingly effective. If it's left in the critical period, it might come in handy."
Put it together with the poisonous smoke bomb found on Gan Yang's body, put it into a small bag, and tie it carefully around his waist.
Finally, there is the black iron token. Pick it up and take a look.
The word "Ke Qing" is engraved on the front and fine lines are on the back.
Looking through the token, Lin Yan remembered that Zhang San said that Gan Yang was a guest of the city lord's palace.
It’s strange to think about it. Gan Yang has status, status, ability, and can even buy a hundred bottles of Sanxiang Ruanjin Powder. He is really rich. Why would he put aside everything he has and risk such a fortune just for a piece of spiritual crystal? What about the big risks?
All I can say is that this might be a lunatic.
In this way, after all the harvest from the Blood Drop Cave was sorted out and placed in categories, especially the poisonous items, they were all kept close to each other to ensure that they would not be touched by Xiaozhi, and Lin Yan let out a long sigh of relief.
The sun is gradually rising, the daylight is just right, and the morning air exudes a smell of resurrection.
Although Lin Yan didn't sleep all night, his energy and blood were constantly replenished and he didn't feel tired. He went to the dining room to have breakfast, then went straight to Chen Yuan's residence and knocked on the door.
"Junior Brother Lin, you are here."
"Senior Sister Chen, it's good morning. I brought you breakfast."
After these few days of classes, Lin Yan and Chen Yuan gradually became familiar with each other. At Lin Yan's strong request, he also changed his name from Mr. Lin to Junior Brother Lin, and their communication gradually became more casual.
Chen Yuan raised her slender jade hands, half-hiding them, and yawned slightly: "I came just in time. I was just finishing the questions you asked me last time, and I happened to be hungry."
Under the warm sunshine, Chen Yuan stood gracefully, her simple plain clothes swaying casually in the wind. She casually shook a stack of thin pages in her hand, as if to disturb the sunshine, and her face without makeup was tinged with a hint of laziness. Hazy, like a white pear blossom falling on the lake.
Entering the yard, Xiaozhi spread her legs, ran over, and threw herself into Lin Yan's arms.
"Guo Guo!"
Lin Yan picked up Xiaozhi.
"Xiao Zhi, how did you sleep last night?"
"Slept well! I slept with sister Chen Yuan!"
"You're still talking about it," Chen Yuan took the page and patted his chest angrily.
Lin Yan: "..."
He turned away, avoiding the mellow and surging waves, and patted Xiaozhi on the head: "Eat, eat!"
