Comprehension: Grinding the Gun

In the morning, the birds chirp.

Zhan Changsheng opened his eyes in a daze, at a loss as to what was going on.After being dazed for a moment, he just remembered what happened last night and hurriedly sat up.

Zhanlong stood at the entrance of the cave, his burly figure shielded him from the morning light, his long thick black hair hung down his shoulders and back, hanging straight down to his waist, when he heard movement behind him, he said in a low voice, "Follow me."

Zhan Changsheng followed him out of the cave, took the well water from the gourd and washed it clean, Zhan Long took the remaining half of the gourd well water, put a few drops in his hand, and suddenly smiled and said: "The cultivators of the Shangqing sect are willing to meddle in their own business." , to benefit the villagers."

He dumped the bottom of the gourd upside down, and the clear well water gushed, all fell into his palm, and then disappeared without a trace, almost like the snake blood from yesterday.

Zhan Changsheng was surprised to see it, but Zhan Long took the gourd away, and said in a solemn voice: "Seven Birds Jue is not my own practice, but it is scattered among wild sects, forming a school of its own. I teach you today, not to accept you as an apprentice, but A deal. If someone asks about it in the future, never mention my name."

Seeing his serious expression, Zhan Changsheng also bowed solemnly: "Please remember."

Afterwards, Zhan Long raised the two middle fingers of his right hand and placed them between his eyebrows.

In an instant, a wave of heat rushed straight to his head, as if a picture scroll was unfolding in front of Zhan Changsheng's eyes.On the scroll, the seven ink-painted figures are moving around and performing a certain move.

At one moment, the posture is like a crane flying over a pond, and at another moment, it is like an eagle grazing the grassland, flowing clouds and flowing water, extremely leisurely and comfortable.He only said to practice the exercises, only a little bit is enough. Now it seems that the exercises are firmly in mind, but he still needs to learn each move and form from scratch.

Zhan Changsheng looked at it for a while, and when he thought about it, the picture scroll quietly dissipated, and the greenery in the mountains was still in front of him. Zhan Long was retracting his fingers, and his face that had recovered some blood color was now as pale as paper, and he sneered: "But A low-level inheritance actually consumes so much spiritual power. Ridiculous!"

He staggered two steps, then fell to the ground again, Zhan Changsheng hurriedly supported him, the tentacles were as hot as coal again.The young man couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and knelt down on the grass, consciously pressing his lips together.Zhan Long was unceremonious, he hugged his thin waist tightly, his lips were tender, but there was no charm at all, only the cool spring flowed in, suppressing the karmic fire in his blood.

After a long time, Zhan Changsheng also felt dizzy, and his breathing became disordered, so he was pushed away by Zhan Long, "Go and practice yourself, don't disturb my purity."

Zhan Changsheng was injected into his mouth by the man's masculine breath. After all, he felt a little concerned, so he turned his head and didn't dare to look at him, "I'll go down the mountain first, and I'll come to find you at night."

Zhanlong said: "Yes."

Then he got up slowly and returned to the cave.

Zhan Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and asked outside the cave: "Jinchuang medicine can't heal the injury of the immortal master, but there are other herbs, I'll find some for you."

Only Zhanlong's tired and low voice came from the cave, "No need."

Zhan Changsheng had no choice but to go down the mountain first.

He recalled that the century-old frozen orchid had worked on Zhanlong's wound, so he planned to go to the town to buy some low-grade spiritual herbs.

Zhan Changsheng made up his mind, so he found a secluded place and re-examined the items in the storage bag.Although there are many cabinets, most of them are empty, except for the clothes, there are only two gray-brown dead branches that are as long as the little fingers, fifteen ivory oblate stones, and three utensils of unknown use.

The ivory colored stone should be a spirit stone, but its color is dull, if it is mixed with the pebbles on the river beach, it may be difficult to distinguish clearly, it may be a low-grade spirit stone.Those three utensils may be magical treasures, but unfortunately he has no half spiritual power, unable to control them, so he can only look at the treasures and sigh.

Zhan Changsheng felt a little disappointed. Compared with those legends about cultivating immortals in his previous life, this little property was really shabby.

He took out the two dead branches and spread them out in his palms to play with them carefully. One of the dead branches was as white as ice and snow, and the other was dark red and almost black. Suddenly, Zhan Changsheng recalled a legend about this Continent of Cultivation of Immortals.

It is rumored that there is a secret place in the human world called Yunwai Immortal Palace.There is a courtyard in the fairy palace, which is full of beautiful jade and Qionghua, which is so beautiful that it is far better than the fairyland of the kingdom of God.There are two towering trees in the courtyard, one is as red as blood, and the other is as white as frost, without any leaves, and the branches stretch horizontally, covering the sky and the sun.

That was the time when Pan Gu opened the world, and a little remnant of the clear and turbid qi was transformed into a sacred tree, one Chixiao wood and one Xuanshuang wood. As the name suggests, the trees are exactly one vermilion and one white, and they are the source of power in the secret realm.

The Yunwai Immortal Palace is rich in resources, far exceeding mortals' expectations, and it has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not governed by the king of gods. The people in the Immortal Palace are mysterious and unpredictable, so no matter the immortals, demons, humans or gods, they are afraid of it.

However, the years are fleeting, but there is never any clue in this fairy palace, it is only passed on from word to mouth among the people, so it is hard to tell whether it is true or not.

Zhan Changsheng frowned in thought, but finally had no choice but to put the dead branch back into the storage bag, took out only one spirit stone, and went to the town.

Gaotai Town, Yongtai Pawnshop, there are few customers in the afternoon, the shop assistant is drowsy, suddenly the curtain is lifted, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy enters.

That young man has clear eyebrows, handsome appearance, and a clear breath, which makes people feel good at first sight.A blue cloth shirt was washed clean and tidy, the corners of the clothes were still covered with pudding, and the stitches were fine and tight, it should be from a nearby villager.

The store clerk knew his purpose at the first sight, and smiled politely: "Little brother, do you want to pawn something?"

The boy looked hesitant, as if he had made up his mind, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and opened it layer by layer, revealing a jade-white oblate stone, "This is the white jade handed down from my family, how much can it be worth?"

The store clerk's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm, he took the cloth bag from the stone and looked at it carefully.The stone is only the size of a pigeon egg, round and lovely, clean and flawless, it is a low-grade spirit stone of excellent quality.

There is no crack on the spirit stone, which is a sign of abundant spiritual power.Cultivators can absorb the spiritual power from the stone and use it for their own use. Once the spiritual power is exhausted, the spiritual stone will be turned into powder, so it is rarely circulated among the people, and the price is also rising. A low-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver .

It's just that this country boy is ignorant and ignorant, but he is a fat sheep that is easy to slaughter.The store clerk put the stone back on the counter casually, and said critically: "This white jade is of very poor quality, and it's not worth a few pennies. But I don't know that little brother is going to die for it?"

Hearing that he was so contemptuous, the young man looked worried, so he took the stone back into his hand and said with restraint: "This white jade was passed down from my great-grandfather. If it is not a treasure, how can he cherish it and pass it on to future generations? If it is not worth a few pennies, how can you pass it on?" Why are you willing to accept it?"

The store clerk was slightly stunned, and quickly changed his words with a sneer, "Nowadays the world is not peaceful, business is difficult, and even petty profits are rare. If you are willing to take it, we will accept it."

The young man seemed to be tempted, Qiqi Ai asked: "How much is dead? How much is alive?"

The store clerk knew that the young man was not easy to be coaxed, so he thought about it for a while, and then said: "The term of living is six months, 12 taels; death is 15 taels."

Hearing this, the young man sighed, "This is...too little."

The store clerk said with a disdainful smile: "Right now, an acre of fertile land is only five or six taels of silver. You can exchange this piece of low-grade white jade for two mu of land. If it is not enough, it will be..."

The store clerk was hesitant to speak, but the sarcasm in his eyes grew stronger.

That boy was Zhan Changsheng, although he wanted to pretend to be a fool, he was also provoked by the shop assistant, he put away his spirit stone without saying a word, turned around and left.

The store clerk panicked when he saw this, and hurriedly walked out of the counter and called out, "Little brother, stay behind! Everything is easy to discuss!"

Zhan Changsheng just walked to the door, but he saw the curtain lifted, and a middle-aged shopkeeper came in from the door, he was born with a deer head, but he smiled a little before saying a word, and asked: "What happened? "

The store clerk secretly thought that it was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, "Second shopkeeper, this little brother brought a family heirloom white jade, but he thinks the price of the small one is too low, so he has to leave."

The second innkeeper stroked his beard under his chin, "Nowadays, the world is difficult and business is not easy. The common people are more pawned and less redeemed, so the valuation is also lowered. Please forgive me, little brother. Why don't you take it out and let my subordinates see each other. It’s okay to raise your price.”

Zhan Changsheng saw that the play was done enough, he took out the cloth bag from his bosom again, he still said it was the heirloom white jade left by his great-grandfather.

The store clerk was also on the side, seeing the second shopkeeper's eyebrows trembling slightly, he quickly pretended to be wronged and said: "15 taels is really a lot."

The second shopkeeper frowned, "Although the quality of this white jade is not good, it is a family heirloom. If it weren't for the family's financial difficulties, who would be willing to send it to the pawnshop. I can't wait for a businessman, and it's not just a small profit. The one who knocks the bones and sucks the marrow..." The shopkeeper was impassioned and gave a long speech, and then he concluded his statement, "If it is dead, add five taels."

Zhan Changsheng still hesitated for a long time, and just now reluctantly agreed.The two shopkeepers and the shop assistants were all secretly relieved, fearing that he would go back on his word, they hurriedly issued a pawn ticket, and specially prepared 20 taels of silver, packed it in a pouch and delivered it.

Zhan Changsheng left the pawn shop and went to another street, only then tore the pawn ticket to pieces.Those two teamed up to deceive him, the pawn ticket only contained a piece of family heirloom white jade, and he didn't know that Zhan Changsheng was just using those two people to cover up the traces of the Lingshi.

The young man weighed the broken silver in his hand, and couldn't help smiling wryly.In the 16 years since he was reincarnated, it was the first time that he owned such a huge sum of money.Thinking of the many time-traveling seniors who spent a lot of money, those who are as embarrassed as him are actually a minority.Only for 20 taels of silver, so exhausted.

Zhan Changsheng teased a few words in his heart, walked into the largest medicine shop in the town without stopping, and asked, "Are there any healing herbs such as century-old frozen orchid, Lingsi flower, and dragon scale grass?"

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy raised his eyes to look up, Xu Shi saw that he was dressed plainly, so he was a little suspicious.Zhan Changsheng hurriedly said: "I bought medicines for my husband, and because there are many hunters in the village, I wanted to make some high-quality Jinchuang medicines."

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy said just now: "The battle at the front line is tense, the military master is collecting healing herbs everywhere, and there are only two plants of Suyu grass left in my shop, and one plant is two taels of silver."

Zhan Changsheng gasped, the price has risen, but it has exceeded expectations.He wanted to bargain with the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper said frankly: "The wound medicine is in short supply now, and there is no market for the price. If you don't want it, someone else will. I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it."

Zhan Changsheng has traveled all the way, and heard people mentioning the war everywhere, but now he has no choice but to buy it.The left and right spirit stones came from Zhanlong, so it is only natural to buy some wound medicine to take care of him now.

He also bought some supplements and medicinal materials for his mother, totaling five taels and 41 renminbi. The shopkeeper was kind enough to erase the change and only charge him five taels.

Zhan Changsheng thanked him, and then sent the hunting knife to the blacksmith's shop, bought winter cotton clothes for his mother and younger sister, and put them in the medicine basket together.

When he was leaving, he saw a roadside peddler selling dried fruit. There were crushed peanuts and black sesame seeds mixed in the snow-white squares.Zhan Changsheng recalled his younger sister, so he bought another bag and took them home together.

This day Zhan Changsheng came back with a full load, Ning Er got new clothes and snacks, she was overjoyed, but Yang Shi was in doubt, fearing that her son would do something bad.

When Zhan Changsheng saw this, he copied the words of the shopkeeper of the medicine shop, saying that he was lucky today and dug up a few high-grade medicinal herbs.Then he only dared to take out three taels of silver and handed it over to Mrs. Yang.

Yang Shi was just worried and refused to pick it up, "You should keep it alive and get married in the future."

Zhan Changsheng had no choice but to laugh and said, "Then I will ask my mother to keep it for me." Yang had no choice but to agree.

He then discussed with his mother to take in the seriously injured man, but Yang was even more like a frightened bird, holding his wrist tightly, "If that man deserts, hiding it is a serious crime of beheading. Don't do anything reckless." !"

Seeing this, Zhan Changsheng had no choice but to give up his mind.He took the same utensils as the quilt, poured a whole bucket of well water up the mountain, and sent it to Zhanlong.

After half a month, Zhanlong's injury gradually improved, and the Feather Grass had some effect.Zhan Changsheng accompanied him to heal his wounds every night, and practiced the Qi Qin Jue in the morning, and he felt a little lighter in just half a month.

Zhan Changsheng's physique improved, and Zhan Long also benefited, the blood on his pale face recovered bit by bit.Even in his spare time, he will give advice on how to practice longevity.

Zhan Changsheng was about to return the storage bag to its original owner, but Zhan Long said: "Things outside the body are useless." He also set up a concealment formation in the cave for him to hide the storage bag inside.

On this day, he brought two pheasants to the town to sell, but he saw that everyone in the town was nervous, as if they were facing a big enemy.Zhan Changsheng curiously asked passers-by, and learned a shocking news.

The second shopkeeper of the Yongtai pawnshop and a man surnamed Cao died at home, but the murderer was nowhere to be found.

Zhan Changsheng was terrified, and felt that this matter must have something to do with the spirit stone.He didn't care about selling prey, so he found an excuse to get out of town, stayed away, and immediately ran wildly on the country road.
