Chapter 237: The Poison Fangs in the Beast Cave
Surprisingly, despite Xiangliu's huge body, its teeth are only the size of a middle-aged man's arm, and are not as sharp as the stalagmites in the Peiyuan Cave of the Supreme Sect...
Looking at the shabby-looking fangs in front of her, Lingxiang hesitated for a long time. On the one hand, it was hard to believe that these were Xiangliu's fangs. On the other hand, she felt that the beast would not be so honest.
But after thinking it over, she accepted it.
Since Fairy Yao Ji has ordered it, the black beast will not dare to do anything. After all, there are all kinds of things in the world.
The fang given by the evil beast was actually tricked from Xiangliu, but Xiangliu was young at that time, so the fang looked so small.
Moreover, Lingxiang also learned from Fairy Yao Ji that the tooth her mother had obtained that year was actually made by the evil beast.
No wonder the evil beast always looked at him with vicious eyes, there turned out to be this reason.
Of course the evil beast was unwilling to give it, but she had no choice but to obey the order of Fairy Yao Ji, and she dared not disobey.
Although it is true that Yun Zhongjun is the lord of Yunmeng, all the rare beasts, big and small, in Yunmeng Lake are under the jurisdiction of Fairy Yao Ji. If you want to stay in Yunmeng, you cannot offend her.
Alas...living under someone else's roof!
Moreover, Fairy Yao Ji had the upper hand over the black beast, which made her even more afraid to act rashly and she had to obey its orders.
Alas...you are holding someone hostage!
However, the evil beast did not intend to let the spiritual incense be taken away so easily.
"Yes, yes, it is indeed the fang of that stupid big guy. Now I give it to you, do you dare to take it?"
After hearing what the evil beast said, Lingxiang was puzzled.
"Why don't you dare?"
The evil beast sat down on the side, crossed his legs and picked his teeth, looking like he was waiting to see a good show.
"As everyone knows, that big fool is full of poison, and this tooth is no exception, otherwise it can't be used as an ingredient for the elixir, right? Don't you humans often say 'medicine is three parts poison'? Where does the poison come from? Isn't it from the ingredients?"
This was indeed true. Lingxiang was well versed in pharmacology and of course knew this, but she didn't seem to care and just picked it up.
Lingxiang held the fang in her hands and weighed it. It looked small, but it was surprisingly heavy. This frightened Long Qi, who was standing by, and he tried to snatch the fang away, but Lingxiang just flicked her fingers and put the fang into the small bag on her waist.
Long Qi quickly stepped forward to look at Ling Xiang, asking if she was feeling unwell. He also shouted viciously at the black beast: "If she is poisoned, I will not let you go."
But the evil beast looked innocent, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Blame me? It's not like I asked her to take it."
However, Lingxiang was very calm. She comforted Long Qi and repeatedly assured him that she would be fine. Only then did Long Qi let her go reluctantly.
Seeing Lingxiang's calm expression, Xieshou was very confused: "You...you are not afraid of death?"
"Of course I am afraid, but so what?"
Looking at Lingxiang with a smile on her face, Heshou was distracted for a moment, as if she saw Tumi.
More than ten years ago, Tumi said the same thing to her with a smile.
……
"Of course I am afraid, but so what?"
"If you are afraid of death, why do you insist on getting this tooth?" The evil beast was very puzzled.
Tumi smiled again, squatted down, touched the head of the evil beast and said: "Born as a human, you have to die. This is inevitable. It's just a matter of time. What's the point of being afraid?"
"People are born to die. They cannot choose their birth and cannot avoid death. This is the natural law. No matter how scared you are, it will be useless. Death will come sooner or later."
"Since it is beyond our control, we might as well live in fear, earnestly, and devoutly wait for that day to come..."
……
"Hmph! Not alike at all!" After coming back to his senses, the evil beast turned his head away and snorted.
Long Qi didn't understand what the evil beast was saying, but he didn't care. He quickly asked Lingxiang why she insisted on touching the tooth even though she knew it was poisonous.
Lingxiang raised three fingers: "There are three reasons."
"First, if I want to practice to restore the world, Xiangliu's fang is indispensable. Even if it is poisonous, I must get it. Second, the words of this false beast must be false. If it comes from her mouth, it must be the opposite. Think about it, if this fang is really poisonous, how did she get it here after getting it?" "As for the last part..."
Lingxiang kept the secret a secret, causing the evil beast to turn around curiously.
I have to say that the two points analyzed by Lingxiang are indeed correct. I didn’t expect that this little girl could see things so clearly.
"What happened in the end?"
Seeing that the evil beast couldn't help but ask, Lingxiang laughed, and looked like a little fox who had stolen something.
It is said in the book that false beasts are extremely prying, and it is indeed true.
Fortunately, since childhood I often went down the mountain with Maidong to listen to storytelling, and I learned these tricks from the gentlemen, which really did not do any harm.
"You want to know?"
The beast frowned and flared her nose. She felt that Lingxiang had no good intentions, but she really wanted to know...
"Then..." Lingxiang said, picking up something from behind her, "This thing belongs to me!"
The beast looked up and saw that Lingxiang was holding an egg in her hand. The egg was as big as a human head and had intricate patterns on it, which was very beautiful.
"Ah!" The black beast screamed, "You really have bad intentions!"
That's a phoenix egg! It was obtained with great difficulty from the Queen Mother of the West thousands of years ago!
The blackmailer was quite bold, as he actually dared to steal things from the Queen Mother of the West. Otherwise, why would he be controlled by the Fairy Yao Ji?
She didn't want to be arrested and taken to Kunlun Hill as soon as she left Yunmeng Lake. That old hag was not someone who would get along with people...
As for why the Evil Beast wanted to deceive the Queen Mother of the West, it was not a whim. In fact, the Evil Beast really likes to get along with people, but she was born to lie, and over time no one wanted to associate with her.
One day, a piece of news came from somewhere that the shell of a phoenix could cure lying. Upon hearing this, the deceiver went to Kunlun to look for it. After all, the phoenix was the mount of the Queen Mother of the West, and only she had it.
Although she got the Phoenix Egg, it did not have the effects as rumored, and it caused her a lot of suffering.
It seems that the Evil Beast has a special liking for the number "three". She also tricked three phoenix eggs back then, one of which hatched shortly after she brought it back.
But what the evil beast never expected was that the little phoenix would be so troublesome. Not only did it almost burn down her cave, but it also always wanted food and drink at every turn.
Although the beast did not speak the truth, he had a kind heart and could not abandon the young bird, so he had no choice but to do his best to raise it.
It's not easy to be both a father and a mother! Not only is the Phoenix Shell useless, but she even has to work as a wet nurse.
These naturally happened before Yun Zhongjun moved Yunmengze into the Water Mirror. The little phoenix flew to Kunlun early.
Looking at the phoenix egg in Lingxiang's hand, Heshou hesitated for a long time: If he gave it to her, after all, he had obtained it with great difficulty; if he didn't give it to her, he was afraid that the egg would break one day and he would suffer again.
Never mind! It's not a loss to exchange a trouble for a reason!
"Well...if you really want it, just take it!" The evil beast said with pretended pain.
Humph! If the little phoenix breaks out of its shell someday, let's see how you, a little girl, will handle it.
Seeing Lingxiang happily put the egg into the small bag on her waist, Heshou secretly gloated over her misfortune.
"Now that you have what you want, tell us what you want, don't hide it!"
"That's easy," Ling Xiang said happily, "It's like a poisonous snake. The poison is in its cheeks, not its teeth. If the teeth were poisonous, wouldn't Xiang Liu also be poisoned when he ate it?"
Oh! That’s it!
Long Qi suddenly realized. That's why when he was a child, when his family made snake soup in the kitchen, they always buried the snake head separately in the ground to prevent the poison sac in the snake's mouth!
"Hmph! You're just being mysterious!" The evil beast glanced at Lingxiang, turned its head to the side, raised its chin high and snorted, "You're not as good as Tumi in terms of taste. At least she took a book of supreme mystical arts from me, but you only like an egg!"
The supreme mystical art?
Ling Xiang was very confused, but she didn't show it on her face. She turned her eyes and said, "Huh! My Yuanqing Sect has all kinds of skills, why would we care about your two books that are not presentable?"
Upon hearing this, the evil beast jumped up immediately: "Not worthy of being shown on the stage? Bah! You know shit. How can those common methods in the mortal world compare to my skills? That is a heaven-defying skill that can make..."
Halfway through his words, the evil beast finally reacted and glanced at Lingxiang with his hands folded: "Tsk! Still want to trick me? No way!"
The Art of Dropping the Sky? What kind of magic is that?
Lingxiang has read all the books in Langhuan Pavilion since she was a child. If there is such a technique, she should know about it, but she has never seen this book in Xianyunju.
Could it be that he was hidden by those old guys again?
Forget it, forget it. Let’s discuss it in detail after we return to Yuanqing.
