Husband is a piece of cloud cake

There is Wuyou Lake in the main city of Liuyun County, with 72 large and small springs.The springs and lakes meander out along the Qinglang River and flow into the cold pool a hundred and twenty miles away.This cold pool is not a clear and clear lake like Wuyou Lake. Its water is extremely cold and deep. Because the sun cannot shine into the bottom of the pool all year round, the water in the pool looks faintly black.This water area is gloomy, cold and full of spiritual power. It is said that the snake cave of the demon king in the past was set here.After the defeat of the Demon King, all the snake cultivators in the rest of the world were slaughtered, only the cold pool remained, and all the products related to the snake cultivators in the world came from here.

Picking incense is an extremely dangerous and difficult task. Not every snake can produce incense, and not every incense picker can come back alive.Snakes in spring and summer are ferocious and difficult to get close to, and snakes in winter are dormant. Only after autumn is the snake still active and moving slowly can it become the target of hunting.Every mid-autumn, those knight-errants who have inherited the skills of picking incense will gather in the cold pool, and under the leadership of the leader, they will go into the pool to pick incense. This is how the season of picking incense comes.

Together with other incense pickers, Lu Jing took a boat to Hantan on an autumn night.Most of the incense pickers have armor patched together from old armor pieces, sitting together in twos and threes, wiping each other's weapons, examining runes, and drinking alternately from small leather bags.Only Lu Jing sat alone on the bow of the boat, sharpening a long knife against the pond water.

The knife was given to him by Xiaoliu's father, Zhang Jiu, the leader of the incense pickers.That day when Xiaoliu brought Lu Jing to the Hantan camp and told his father that he also wanted to pick incense, Zhang Jiu bit the stopper off the wine bag, swept Lu Jing up and down several times with one eye, and then said.

——The son of the family, you think picking incense is a novelty, want to play in the cold pool?Heh heh, that's not enough for that poisonous worm to get stuck between his teeth.

After all, all the incense pickers laughed coaxingly.Lu Jing just said with a good temper.

—— Zhang Shuai listened to the report: The boy came to Liuyun because a friend was seriously ill and urgently needed the snake-cultivating product as medicine.Everyone knows the danger of picking incense, and it is definitely not that they put their own lives in disregard and use the cold pool as a place to play.

Ever since he came to Liuyun County, Lu Jing has been hanging out with young knight-errants. He tried his best to resemble them in speech and behavior, but he couldn't hide his aura in his bones. Therefore, once he met old Jianghu like Boss Sha or Zhang Jiu, Instead of calling him "young man", he called him "Young Master"; Lu Jing didn't hide it from them, and simply told them the purpose of his visit.

——Isn’t it a joke?Tsk, if it weren't for Lao Sha's face, we wouldn't let you enter this camp.

Throwing the recommendation letter on the wooden table, Zhang Jiu continued to Lu Jing.

——Baby, picking incense is a life-threatening job. You need to draw the snake out of the hole first, and then send it to jump on the snake's head to stab its poisonous sac. Only when the poisonous gas is released can you grind it slowly, and hold it halfway Do not flee back into the cave.In this whole matter, the big guys entrusted their lives to each other, where everyone stood and what they did, there was nothing wrong with it.

——and you, what do you know?The iron piece you brought is gorgeous when playing with people, but against the snake repairer, hehe...

Zhang Jiu took a sip of the spirits and shook his head.

——Baby, don't you not cherish your life, once you enter the snake hunting ground, no one will save you.

The young man who came to have fun is certainly hateful, but Zhang Jiu couldn't bear to see him throw his life in the pool for nothing.He thought that Lu Jing would naturally retreat after saying such a thing, but he didn't expect Lu Jing to just smile.

——The boy really doesn't know the fragrance-picking skills of the big guys.But according to Zhang Shuai, jumping is the most critical and dangerous step in catching snakes.If you are bold, please take the lead in catching the snake this time.

There was a sudden silence around the bonfire, and everyone picking incense and Zhang Jiu looked at the young man from outside.His eyes are very bright, full of enthusiasm and cheerful light, as if he is not afraid of anything, and he will not be stumped by anyone.Zhang Jiu's heart moved, and he suddenly grinned.

—You want to dance?Do you know that the snake's poison sac is between the two teeth, and the snake's letter can be easily touched. I don't know how many people have been sucked into the throat by the snake's letter before they can pierce it?Not to mention the venom spray after the poison sac is pierced, even with runes and medicine body protection, it is not so easy to get out of the body.Look at my eye, it was blinded by venom when I was doing jumping in the past.

He pointed to his blindness and asked Lu Jing again.

——Baby, do you really want to dance?

Lu Jing nodded.

——The boy also slaughtered those monsters that harmed the Quartet in the past.

Since he was adamant, Zhang Jiu stopped being polite to him.Throwing a long knife over, the leader of the incense pickers said to Lu Jing.

——If you can pierce the poisonous sac first, according to the old rules, you will be the first to pick the products of the snake repair, and then let you eat the rest of the benefits!

The pool water was bone-chillingly cold, and Lu Jing sharpened his long knife as if sharpening a piece of ice.When the knife was so sharp that it couldn't even stand up to water drops, Xiao Liu came from the stern and told him with a bit of shame.

"Boss, I begged my father repeatedly, but my father still said to follow the old rules. If a stranger wants to pick incense, he has to do dancing first."

He looked mournful.Lu Jing knew that he must be suffocating at his father's place, so he smiled and comforted him.

"I know that the business of picking incense has never been allowed to be touched by strangers. Only by proving one's ability and sincerity can he be entitled to a share of the pie. If he breaks the old rules, he will not be able to convince others in the future."

"But..." Ai Ai in the sixth grade.Lu Jing patted him on the shoulder again: "Don't worry? I slaughtered poisonous dragons in the past. What do you think is better than it in repairing snakes?"

"Wow, Tu Jiao!" Xiao Liu's eyes were full of splendor, and he wanted to applaud immediately: "Boss is so amazing! Where is it, is it just Boss himself?"

Lu Jing shook his head, looking a little sentimental.

"That was in my hometown. I went down the mountain with a fellow student to complete the assignment from the teacher."

——Brother Ziyang, I will lure that wicked beast out later, so you must stay away.Save me a careless, surprised you.

He smiled, and remembered his ignorant look back then.At that time, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, he had just mastered swordsmanship, and felt itching to go anywhere, pestering his elder brother every day to give him a chance to go down the mountain to slay demons and demons, and do it for him.But where are there so many monsters in the world?It was not easy to wait for the entrustment to come, but it still said that there was a big bug in Cangmang Mountain, and the client asked Shangxiao disciples to go down the mountain to eliminate the harm.In Shangxiao Peak, tiger is another name for tiger, and hunting tigers is a job that hunters can do. I don't know why this commission was sent to Shangxiao Peak.Just as the master hadn't returned from his travels, the elder brother scratched his head for a long time, and threw the appointment order at Lu Jing.

——Here, since someone begged to come to the door, Shang Xiaofeng couldn't ignore it.It's not difficult to beat a tiger, you and Zi Yang can earn a first prize together.It's your first time going down the mountain, so you should take care of each other more.

Hearing these words, the old man was very happy, and smiled at the man salivating.

——Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Senior Brother Xue.Senior brother Xue is delicate and frail, so why should senior brother do such rough work?Then just hide behind me.

Hearing his boast, the man's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and he didn't talk to him as usual, just concocted something along the way.When they finally came to Cangmang Mountain, they waited for a giant flood dragon to come out, and that person smiled coldly at him who was stunned.

——You stay away, lest I fail to take good care of you and let that evil animal hurt you.

He actually learned ten percent of what he said, but the ridicule in it was even better.Lu Jing hadn't eaten this before, he rushed forward with his sword as soon as his brain got hot, but the poisonous gas was only sprayed by that dragon...

In the end, relying on the man's pill formation, they finally subdued Jiao.He was so tired that he was almost collapsed, lying on the ground covered in sweat and gasping for breath, but the man sat aside and said calmly.

——Junior brother, you still need to practice martial arts diligently.

These words made him angry and ashamed, he wanted to choke a few words, but he had to close his eyes.The ground was very cold that day, he lay down for a while, but suddenly felt his body warm up.Squinting his eyes, he saw that there was a fire-type imperial spirit lying beside him, and the one who released it was not the person sitting far away?

The man looked at him from a distance, silently kneaded the formula, and controlled the light emitted by Yuling to a level that was warm enough without waking him up.This concern is something that person would never show it.As a young man, he felt at ease, but he also knew that if he found out that he was actually awake, that person would definitely walk away in anger.So he had no choice but to close his eyes and continue to pretend to be asleep carefully...

The remaining water on the knife was thrown into the pool, and Lu Jing put the knife back into the sheath.

"Anyway," he pressed on Xiao Liu's shoulder, "Don't worry."

The water in the clepsydra became less and less, and the incense pickers on the boat all fell silent.The hour is near, and the dormant snake repair will soon come out.Zhang Jiu waved the cold light torch, and everyone got off the big boat, took a dozen or so small sampans, and drove along the snake cave in the center of the pool.

The sampan was moving fast, but none of the boats were rocking. All the sampans relied on the power of runes to move forward. There was no human voice on the surface of the lake. Even the torch was the cold light emitted by fluorite. The water area has experienced too many wars. Legend has it that there are countless resentful spirits hidden in the water. If you sense the heat of a living person, the resentful spirits will rush out of the pool and tear the living person to pieces before the snake cultivator comes out; this is why The cold pool will always be cold.

Entering the kingdom of the dead, the surface of the pool is coldly lit.It is the torch of the incense picker, and it is also the will-o'-the-wisp floating in the air.This scene is common to the old fragrance pickers, but Lu Jing felt sympathetic.He weighed the long knife soaked in potion again, straightened the runes inlaid on the armor, and quietly watched the ox that was used as bait being pushed out on the small boat.Niu Er seemed to be aware of his impending fate, mooing uneasy on the sampan, but this lively sound immediately triggered the giant underwater beast——

——Suddenly a vortex appeared on the surface of the pool, and two giant teeth protruded from the vortex to bite the scalper, and the sampan shattered into pieces with a click.

The incense pickers on the boat yelled in unison, shouting the spell songs passed down from their ancestors, a crack opened in the water surface, and the body of the snake cultivator suddenly appeared.The incense pickers couldn't help but gasp: the snake in front of them has a small head on its neck!This is a rare big snake that has grown two heads. According to the legend of the incense collectors, it has become a fine snake.

This cannot be carried hard.Zhang Jiu swallowed his saliva, and was about to wave the cold light torch to call the sampans back.But as soon as he raised his arm, he saw a figure jumping towards Xiu Snake like an arrow from the string.

It's Lu Jing.

You are courting death!

Zhang Jiu frowned, and almost cursed out loud.His family has picked incense in the cold pool for three generations, and has never seen a novice dare to challenge the double-headed snake.But once the incense pickers board the ship, they are brothers of life and death, and there is absolutely no reason to leave their brothers halfway and run away.Turning his heart around, Zhang Jiu's torch trajectory changed, and the incense pickers formed a circle, waiting for the dance to be successful.

There are no stars and no moon, and there are only fluorescent reflections on the water surface of the cold pool.Lu Jing lit the waves and flew over, and saw Xiuxiu's little head smiling at him, it seemed that he was really a genius.

——For all snakes, short horns must grow from between the eyes before they can transform. If the short horns are destroyed, they will collapse in one fell swoop.Just find its short horn and break it.

That year in Cangmang Mountain, the man told him the way to deal with this kind of monsters, using Yuling to fight for him.But this time, no one is standing up for him anymore...

Feeling slightly sad, Lu Jing flew forward with the jade ring held high in his left hand and the knife in his right hand.Gently flicking the pearl, he looked at the world in front of him through the jade ring; in an instant, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The water in the cold pool seemed to be still, and Lu Jing could clearly see dark purple spots on Xiuxiu's huge head, which were undoubtedly the short horns hidden under the scales.And there was brilliance in the smaller head, Lu Jing shook the jade ring a little, and the brilliance changed instantly, turning into a figure hanging in the void.Lu Jing paused and almost fell into the water.

Zi Yang! ?
