Wet viviparity

Chapter 223 Daily life, raising small species
Ji Ming, who understood the true meaning of the magic, felt very happy and even played around in the nearby villages.

When he returned to Yintai Mountain, he saw a light swaying between the mountain ridges in the dim night. He looked up and found that it was Shu Si holding a bean-sized lamp to light the way.

Shu Si picked up the wick in the lamp in his hand and said anxiously, "Denghua Lady, please turn up the light a little brighter."

The light suddenly lit up, illuminating an area of ​​a mile around. In the light of the lamp, a three-inch-tall old woman appeared. She smiled cautiously and said, "Master Mouse, you've been looking for it in the mountains for several days."

"If my magic weapon is lost, you will also be in trouble."

It turned out that Shu Si had been looking for the precious nail in the mountains since the day he lost it. He accidentally ran into the lamp flower lady and greedily ate some of her lamp oil, so he slept for two days. After waking up, he captured the lady and made her light the way in the night.

Shu Si opened his bloodshot eyes wide and searched inch by inch in the dark night, feeling extremely regretful.

His master's favor and favor grew day by day. He managed the business in cooperation with the Qian family and was also busy with the start-up of his master's talisman-making business. He handled a large amount of money for talismans every day. It can be said that he had both money and power, and his life was very good.

He had experienced hard times. When he was in charge of the merit box and blessing money (private lending) in Feixiong City, he saw through the ugliness of human nature and knew that the trust and status he enjoyed today were hard-earned.

That is why he is not as casual as Qian Geng was before. He is just loyal and wants to seek a future with his master.

If the precious nail is really not found now, the master will not blame me outwardly, but no one can guarantee what he is thinking in his heart.

"Rat Four!"

When the upset Shu Si heard the familiar voice, his body shook violently and he almost dropped the lamp in his hand, causing the old woman in the lamp to scream in surprise.

"Lost the Thundercrush Treasure Nail?!"

As Ji Ming spoke, he glanced at Denghua Po.

This was not one of the two monsters he saw in the underground tomb after snail ears grew on his body when he was a "turtle larva". It was also from them that Ji Ming heard the news about "General Shisha".

By the way, since Su Luo’s death, it seems that General Shisha has never been seen again. Could it be that he has returned to the Beiyin Underworld?

On the side, Shu Si lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Yes, I haven't found it yet."

He knew that Qian Geng had already informed the master of this matter and had said some good things on his behalf. He wondered if the master had grown impatient waiting for him in Shuseki Cave and had come here to find him.

"This is just a small matter, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

As Ji Ming spoke, more than 170 strong men were thrown into the air. For a moment, the surrounding woods, grass, and even the sand and gravel on the ground began to shake.

The strong men searched every inch of the land and soon found the thunder-crushed treasure nail in a bird's nest at the foot of the mountain. They didn't know which bird had brought it into the nest.

When the precious nail came into Ji Ming's hands, he began to understand why Shu Si couldn't find it.

This nail has a bit of spirituality, it was once a good weapon in Xiaoqiulong's hands, so it inherited the arrogance of dragons. It can barely be accepted in Ji Ming's hands, but it is extremely unwilling in Shu Si's hands.

"interesting!"

Although Ji Ming had also heard of the magical spiritual power of treasures, this was the first time he had such a direct understanding of it.

The white bone heart bead in his hand is more spiritual, but because it was refined and nurtured by him, it is spiritually obedient and has no intention of rebelling.

Shu Si carefully took the treasure nail from the master's hand. This time he did not put it into the secret pocket in his sleeve, but put it in his bag. This made the lamp lady on the lamp jealous.

"Go back to the cave and talk."

Ji Ming left a message and left. Shu Si hurriedly followed him, and halfway through he threw down the lantern in his hand, which flew over Shu Si's head. He hurriedly said, "Master Shu, can you introduce my wife to the master in the cave?"

"There are no idle monsters in the cave. If you give me your recipe for making lamp oil, I can consider whether to introduce you to me based on its value."

"Bah!" Lantern Flower Lady cursed, "You are a wicked person with a dirty mind. You are not satisfied with drinking my lamp oil and you even want to ask for my prescription."

Shu Si shook his head, flicked the magic sword behind him, and said: "This is a magic sword distributed on the mountain after the master's Taoist assessment. You should know what it represents. It is a blessing for you, a mere wild monster, to be able to see the face of the Taoist. If you can enter the gate, it will be the blessing of your previous life.

Asking you for a recipe for making lamp oil is like an irritated money slave. With such a character, even if I give you the recipe, I will not recommend you, as it would pollute the master's quiet place for nothing."

The lamp lady looked at Shu Si who was walking away, and sat on the ground in a daze, speechless, with the light in the lamp becoming dimmer and dimmer.

In the Shushi Cave, among the ruined temple’s tiles.

The purpose of Shu Si's coming here this time was to explain the matter of the "Small Seed of the Six Ding Divine Fire". He had placed this small seed in a fire room in the "Lei Xi Da Fang" in Xiaokong Mountain.

Xiaokong Mountain is a semi-active dwarf volcano in this area. The fire power in it has been transformed by successive monks from Fayan Courtyard and built into a series of alchemy and fire chambers.

The only big workshop in this area, the Leixi big workshop, was built on top of these fire rooms. Just relying on this big workshop, the villa can collect more than ten thousand talisman money every day.

Senior brother Zhu Wen from Heguan couldn't stand the power struggle between Zhang Xiaoyuan and Jueguang on the mountain because their fight had extended to the Dafang and affected his interests in the Dafang.

Ji Ming has no idea about this forum for the time being. He knows that after Zhang Xiaoyuan comes to power, he will definitely give him some of the profits from this forum, but he doesn't expect him to give too much.

At Shu Si's place, Ji Ming asked in detail about Xiao Zhong's protection situation.

After all, this small species of divine fire was not kept in front of him. If someone accidentally discovered the small species in the fire room and took the risk to steal it, Ji Ming would suffer a great loss.

Shu Si replied seriously: "The fire room itself is the most heavily guarded place in the town. The three patrol teams outside are also disciples of Heguan that we recruited in the courtyard. They are also talisman masters trained in our talisman production property.

In addition, everyone signed the Taiping Firework Contract, which was approved by Taiping Mountain and drafted by them. If anyone does anything out of line, the mountain will send a Taoist priest to arrest him. "

"very good."

Shu Si was worthy of being someone who had seen the world in Feixiong City. Although the fire contract was not bound by Taoism, it was endorsed by Taiping Mountain, and the binding force contained in it was even greater than Taoism.

Next, Shu Si reported the expenses in the cave. Ji Ming felt a headache when he heard this.

Nowadays, there are three major expenses.

The first is what Ji Ming needs for his practice, and no matter how much he spends, it is never too much.

The second is the Liu Ding Divine Fire, which includes fire room rental, spiritual wood nourishment, and so on.

The third is the Taoist property of talisman making. The yellow talisman paper used for daily practice by the current batch of "talisman masters", the cinnabar consumed, the replenishment of true qi for making talismans, etc., all cost a lot.

In terms of income, in addition to the gray area of ​​cooperation with the Qian family, Ji Ming's position as the Insect Official, and concurrently as the Leopard and Fish Officials, earned him a share of the Taoist property in the other courtyard. In addition, Zhu Wen, on behalf of Heguan, would also send a sum of money and pearls every month.

All in all, expenses still exceed income.

At this moment, the only thing Ji Ming thought of was to bite off a piece of meat from the Sibeiyun Temple as soon as possible, and to pray that Zhang Xiaoyuan would take power as soon as possible so that he could repay his timely help.

Three months had passed in the practice. Zhiguang, who was recuperating in the other courtyard, had not responded to Ji Ming. Ji Ming knew it was time to put pressure on him.
