Fairy cage

time flies.

The atmosphere in Blackwater Town is becoming more and more depressing, and the Taoist boys who work in the alchemy room every day are more hurried than before.

Fortunately, after the big troops were officially announced, there were fewer and fewer jobs in the town, so the Taoist boys no longer needed to be busy. They had a lot of time to worry.

On the day when the big army officially started, the town seemed to have turned into a military camp. Pedestrians had swords, bows and arrows on their waists, and the Taoist boys no longer concealed the violence on their faces.

Some people even completely lost their sense of proportion on this day, thinking that the town would tolerate them. They ate wine or bought things on credit when they owed money, and got into fights when they were rejected.

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

Although more than half of the Taoist boys in the town have to take part in the big battle every twelve years, there are still a group of old Taoist boys in the town, and they can live for such a long time, and none of them are easy to mess with. object.

With them taking care of it, the entire Dadianbing incident was only chaotic on the surface, but in fact it was proceeding in an orderly manner.

The Taoist boys in each major courtyard will be called to the courtyard in batches according to the courtyard and the entrance of the hall, waiting to be led out of the town by each hall leader.

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

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

He didn't practice martial arts, didn't refine medicine, didn't even meditate and adjust his breath, he just simply slept all night.

Until the next day, at dawn.

The dull horn-like sound sounded, alarming the myna in the stone house. The myna immediately shouted: Master, get up! Master, get up!

Yu Lie slowly opened his eyes and washed himself.

He examined the bloody toad belly and the bag he had specially brought to hide it from others:

A set of talisman paper, two armor and horse charms, seventy-two blood-strengthening pills, twenty-four high-quality blood-strengthening pills, sixty beast-subduing pills, twenty-four Rouzhi detoxification pills, two large bottles of hemostasis powder, Three bottles of insect repellent powder, seven bottles of Hua Gu Powder, five bottles of deodorizing powder...

In addition to the talismans prepared by Taoist Tuoguo, Yu Lie has refined many suitable elixirs on his own in the past few days. Basically, he has prepared everything he can think of.

Especially the blood-strengthening pills, which can not only assist in cultivation, but can also be used as bigu pills to a certain extent, and can also increase the healing effect, so Yu Lie prepared a lot of them.

Among them, the high-quality blood-strengthening pills were prepared by him using the fish eggs of the Black Snake Fish King. Its effect is even more powerful. One pill is worth at least three ordinary pills. Even if Yu Lie breaks through and becomes a high-ranking Taoist boy, he can It was enough for him to practice for more than half a month.

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

After counting the remaining items, they put them back into the belly of the bloody clam one by one.

In addition to the most critical charms and elixirs, there are a lot of other groceries in the blood clam's belly, 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 much as it can be filled.

After taking care of all this and making sure that nothing was missing, he put on a layer of dark scale soft armor, covering his whole body snugly, and put on another layer of powerful clothing on the outside.

Although the Black Snake Fish King was eaten by Yu Lie, not even the bones were left, but Yu Lie deliberately left a large piece of fish skin and scales behind, and after tanning them by himself, he made the lining of the armor.

With this suit of armor and his own copper ribs and iron bone skin, even if someone cuts him with a blood weapon, he will not be able to break through his defense for a while.

Especially when Yu Lie put on the armor tanned by black snake and fish scales, he unexpectedly found that as long as he used the black energy on his body, the armor on his body would harden. The two combined together would make it even more... Harder than harder, it's as if he is wearing a blood armor, which is quite effective.

Yu Lie smoothed out the last wrinkles on his clothes, took a breath, picked up a dark red long bow on the wall, called to Starling, and stepped outside the house.

The red bow on his body was the blood weapon he chose in Guo Daoren's shop that day.

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

The entire longbow, no matter what kind of arrows are used, only needs to be left on it for a short period of time, and the poisonous blood will seep into it and quench the poison for the arrows.

Precisely because its toxicity is too strong, ordinary Taoists who use it must wear detoxification pills at all times, otherwise they may be easily poisoned if they are used for too long.

But for Yu Lie, this was not the reason why he chose this bow. Because he can actually do the job of quenching poison. He can just wipe blood on it before shooting, or even lick it.

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

It is a blood weapon. As long as any Taoist is refined with a drop of blood, using this bow, he can shoot arrows steadily and accurately like a frog sticking out his tongue, and directly acquire the skill of piercing the Yang with a hundred steps and hitting wherever he points.

And the longer it is used, the more accurate the Taoist's archery will be, and the Taoist can get an intuitive feel from it, which will make it easier to use other bows and arrows in the future!

Such miraculous effects were the biggest reason why Yu Lie chose it.

Because Yu Lie doesn't know much about archery, he can't master it in a hurry, but he is not afraid of poisons 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 uses gunpowder arrows, he can even kill enemies within a range of nearly a thousand steps!

With arrows on their backs and arrows on their backs, the rest of the troops went out with their bags.

As soon as they came out of the yard, the landlady next door was lying on the wall of the yard in broad daylight, lazily looking around and cracking melon seeds.

The landlady saw Yu Lie, waved her hand towards Yu Lie, and said charmingly: Brother Yu, don't die outside, the slave family is still waiting to feed you meat.

Yu Lie didn't look back, just waved towards the other party and strode towards the alchemy room.

Go straight all the way.

The weather was unusually good that day, but the road was actually very dusty.

When Yu Lie arrived at Dukou, all the Taoist boys who were supposed to go into battle in Dukou were still present, except for him.

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

It was a few people from Carrot Head who got ponies, dwarf mules and other things from nowhere. Although these ponies and mules cannot be ridden, they can carry goods. They can barely walk on the mountain trail and follow the others down the mountain.

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 and nodded towards Yu Lie, and someone immediately ran over to tell Yu Lie.

A thick stack of booklets was also handed over to Yu Lie's hands, with written requirements for various medicinal materials, gold and stones, and corresponding rewards. Among the rewards were talismans, elixirs, weapons, and even high-quality items. Kung Fu, blood vessels and other rare items.

These are the various tasks that the Taoist boys in the town need to complete after they come down from the mountain. There will be rewards and punishments.

However, Yu Lie only glanced at the booklet and paid a little attention to the words Marrow Cleansing Pill, then handed the booklet to Luotou and asked him to pass it on for circulation.

For the lower-ranking Taoists, the big soldiers just scoured the mountains and forests to complete the task, just like the corvee of mortals.

But for middle-level Taoists like Yu Lie, it is an experience, and only an experience.

It is the experience that allows them to see blood in advance and gain the qualifications to be promoted to high-level Taoist boys!

Yu Lie suppressed his thoughts, waved his hand to order the poisonous Taoist boy behind him, and blended into the team of the man riding the leopard.

A huge crowd

All kinds of people and horses walked through the streets of Blackwater Town, attracting mortals in the town to look around. It was so lively!

The Taoist boys who came down the mountain were also filled with various emotions such as excitement, apprehension, excitement, nervousness, fear, etc. They kept mumbling and talking with their mouths and feet. But when they completely walked out of the town and came to the vast mountains and wilderness, everyone's voices were lowered, and there was only tension in their hearts.

Fortunately, there are roads within a hundred miles of the town, leading to the villages and hills in various places. There are also Taoist boys who were wandering out beforehand and came to join the teams at the entrances of the halls.

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

Everyone was a Taoist boy, and at least a low-ranking one. The sixty-mile mountain road was not too difficult. No one was left behind, and they arrived at the village without any surprises.

As soon as we arrived at the stockade, we were different from the hard life that many Taoist boys imagined, such as sleeping in the open air and sleeping in the open air. Houses were prepared in the stockade early in the morning. The mountain people actively donated their houses and moved into the pig pen and sheep pen. Live in the middle.

All the Taoist boys in the artillery hall were given separate residences for a while. The mountain people also presented melons, fruits, animal meat, and wine, and men, women, and children came together to serve the group of people who came here.

This immediately made some Taoists feel that life outside the town was more comfortable than inside. After all, many of them have to live crowded in the town without much shelter.

Hey! Going out of town this time is not difficult at all?

From time to time, a Taoist boy would say:

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

Someone else murmured: Perhaps it will be difficult to collect herbs in the future, but this is the first day, so you have to enjoy it.

In this way, the vast majority of Taoist boys suddenly became wild and cherished the rare comfort.

Some of them borrowed wives from the mountain people, and even more than one of them got into the house together.

Yu Lie was wary and told his Taoist boys not to take it lightly after leaving the town.

However, he only gave a few instructions. Seeing that some people couldn't bear it, he just followed them.

The Taoist boys' debauchery continued until late at night.

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