Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 127 Being Treated as a Sick Cat
However, Hanashiro also noticed Gong Tianwu's hesitation and added:

"I believe in Fifth Brother's strength. But my father also said that although there are few powerful beings who can make the dead speak, they are definitely not nonexistent."

There is no doubt that this sentence still puts a certain amount of pressure on Gong Tianwu. He ponders:
"If that's the case, then let's go. We've been out for so long, it's time to go back."

Hua Shilang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"If Fifth Brother wants to leave, the Great Wilderness Merchants will also leave the day after tomorrow. Their caravan has six crocodiles that can pull boats and transport goods. They can take you along the waterway to Donglu City, which is a hundred miles away."

Donglu City is only about less than two thousand miles away from the gate of the Daxue Mountain, which can be said to save more than half of the journey.

After listening to this, Gong Tianwu nodded: We have to leave anyway, and there is a free boat to take, which will be really relaxing and enjoyable.

After Hua Shilang left, he suddenly remembered something, so he hurried to the street to buy some things, and then ran quickly out of the city.

Gong Tianwu was gone for more than ten hours and only returned to Mujiang City when it was almost dawn.

This time, Gong Tianwu went to meet the Zeshen Xiangtao.

You have to know that there is an agreement between the two of them, and both sides get what they need and benefit from it. Gong Tianwu has finally established trust with him. If he just walks away, then perhaps this relationship will definitely be broken.

Therefore, Gong Tianwu hurriedly purchased a batch of supplies, even if he had to deliver them to Ze Shen Xiangtao overnight, at least he had to give him some sweet benefits. This line was very important in Gong Tianwu's future plans and could not be easily cut off.

In fact, Gong Tianwu's trip gave Ze Shen Xiang Tao a great surprise. Although the supplies he brought were not much, they actually solved Ze Shen Xiang Tao's urgent needs.

To put it more intuitively, if the relationship between Gong Tianwu and Ze Shen Xiangtao was cold before, it has become friendly now.

When Gong Tianwu left, he also dug up hundreds of kilograms of Xiangliu feces. This stuff was specifically requested by the seventh sister, and it has two major uses.

First, after drying this thing and grinding it into powder and sprinkling it on the ground, it can make insects and ants stay away and poisonous creatures flee in panic, making it very worry-free when camping outdoors.

Second, there was a secret poison-making technique passed down in the Seventh Sister’s family, called Juexiansan.

This secret technique has its origins, and was passed down from the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord of the Huanghua Temple on Jinguan Mountain.

There is even a motto:
There are hundreds of bird droppings in the mountains, and the weight of the droppings can reach thousands of pounds when swept away.

First cook it in a copper pot and simmer it evenly.

It takes a thousand pounds to boil one scoop, and one scoop can yield three points of refinement.

Three parts need to be fried, calcined and smoked again.

This poison is as precious as treasures and treasures.

The main material for refining Juexiansan is bird droppings.

The seventh sister had heard from her ancestors that using bird droppings to make Juexian Powder was not the best choice, but only because it was convenient and easy to find. If there was feces from legendary dragons and snakes, the poison extracted from it would be even more potent.

So Gong Tianwu unceremoniously dug up hundreds of kilograms and took away. In response, Zeshen Xiangtao showed unprecedented generosity, telling him to dig as much as he wanted and take as much as he wanted, as he was just in need of a free dung collector.

***
The next day,

After Gong Tianwu returned from Xiang Tao, he began to take inventory of the goods he had obtained, and then he discovered something that bothered and made him happy.
There are too many goods and the storage bag on my body can’t hold them all.

The normal reaction of a person would be to find a way to reluctantly give up some of the worthless goods.

But Gong Tianwu did the opposite. Since there are already many, then let's have more!

Anyway, he felt that he had not bought enough. In his eyes, this place was full of treasures, such as a kind of grass called "deer paste", which was made into tobacco leaves after being dried, and smoking it was helpful for sexual intercourse.

This kind of plant Viagra is actually not valued in this demon city. One ingot of gold can buy dozens of kilograms!

Why is this so? Because monsters are animals after all, and animals have estrus. When they are not in estrus, male beasts have no desire!
There is only one kind of biped in the world that is in estrus at any time of the year, 365 days a year!
There were several other similar ones, so Gong Tianwu went to replenish a large amount of goods and then piled them up directly in the warehouse.

At this time, he went to look for it at the place where he bought the brass knuckles before, and then found Wu Xiong and said:

"I need to hire someone to run a long distance, mainly to help with carrying and delivering goods, as well as escorting. It's about two to three thousand miles."

"Also, the journey will be a bit tiring this time, but the pay will be twice as much as usual. I'll pay half of the money as a deposit first. Do you dare to go?"

Wu Xiong was short of money, so he agreed immediately. After going to the inn to check out the goods, he recommended two people to Gong Tianwu who could help with the work:

One is a crow monster. Although it has injuries and little strength, its early warning is top-notch.

There is also another monster called Big Gourd, which is a fat pangolin monster. This guy doesn’t run fast, but he has amazing strength.

Gong Tianwu's cargo filled three cars. When this guy showed his true form, he could pull it all away by himself, and it looked effortless. It could be called a fairy-tale version of a heavy locomotive.

After finishing these things, Gong Tianwu went to the dock, taking his seventh sister, goods, helpers and others, and went upstream with the Dahuang Trading Company.

The crocodile that pulled the merchant ship was very strong. It carried the large ship forward in the water at a speed almost as fast as swimming downstream.

Although the crocodile looks ferocious, it is actually very docile and has limited IQ.

In essence, there is no essential difference between this thing and the domesticated Xiasi dog.

(PS, Xiasi dog is the only world-class hunting dog breed bred in China)
Simply put, it is a tool.

The Xiasi dog is a hunting tool, the Yorkshire White pig is a meat supply tool, ahem, this kind of water animal is a means of transportation.

To be honest, the riding experience this time was not good, so much so that Seventh Sister got seasick along the way and simply turned into a white and tender little spider and crawled into Gong Tianwu's trouser pocket.

However, after arriving at the destination of the Great Wilderness Trading Company: Donglu City, Gong Tianwu was surprised to find that he was only less than ten days away from the Great Snow Mountain, and according to his plan, he would have to spend at least twenty days on the return journey.

In this way, the time saved can be greatly reduced.

With the help of Wu Xiong and the other two, Gong Tianwu quickly arrived at the county town fifty miles away from the Great Snow Mountain. After Gong Tianwu found a carriage, the two sides parted ways.

Gong Tianwu added five extra spirit stones to the price agreed upon before. Both parties were very satisfied and agreed to continue their cooperation next time. Then Gong Tianwu treated the three monsters to a big meal of roasted pork and roasted beef, and the two sides said goodbye to each other reluctantly.

When they were parting, Gong Tianwu found that the divine reading technique was activated again, and heard Wu Xiong's inner voice:
"Alas, this amount of money is still not enough to completely heal the injury, but the Hundred Years Molten Milk is something that I can't get even if I want to. Let's just make do with this for now."

Gong Tianwu's mind moved and he wrote down the key words "Hundred Years of Molten Milk".

***
Soon, Gong Tianwu stood at the gate of the Great Snow Mountain again. The cold wind was still howling, and everything was covered in snow, creating a bleak and depressing scene.

The temperature here is something that the Seventh Sister definitely can’t stand, so she still wears the cute spider-like look and curls up in Gong Tianwu’s chest pocket to take a nap.

However, Gong Tianwu immediately took out the identity token he was carrying and threw it forward. After the token flew a few meters, it suddenly disappeared into the air.

Then a muffled voice said:
"Send me your identity."

Gong Tianwu said:

"I am Xu Tianwu, a disciple of Master Liu Xun, and I am back from traveling."

Immediately, a ball of white mist quickly appeared in front of us, and then spread to the size of a yurt.

Gong Tianwu walked into the white mist, then stood quietly waiting.

After a while, the white mist dissipated, and Gong Tianwu was moved directly into the mountain gate. In front of him was blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining, and there were mountains upon mountains, and the mountains were green, just like a paradise.

"Wow!"

The seventh sister woke up at some point and crawled to the chest of Gong Tianwu's clothes, peeking outside through the gap.

Although she didn't say any specific words, just by listening to her surprised and admiring tone, I could tell what she thought of the scenery in her heart.

In fact, in Gong Tianwu's eyes, the scenery inside the gate of the Great Snow Mountain is just ordinary, but with the contrast of the cold wind, snow-capped mountains and low temperature outside, this place must have become a first-class place.

This is like watering manure and growing vegetables, which is not worth mentioning.
But once the person who took the photo and posted it on WeChat Moments posted the location as Tomson Yipin or Lujiazui No.1 Courtyard
Ahem, do you suddenly feel that the cabbage in this picture looks particularly juicy?
Then Gong Tianwu walked straight into the mountain gate.

At this time, one of the disciples guarding the mountain gate turned out to be an acquaintance, Li Zhen whom he had met before.

He was the one who invented the three words "Senior Brother Turtle" and he called him the most. When he saw Gong Tianwu's departing figure, he suddenly became excited and immediately said to the junior brother next to him:

"Help me push it up, there will be something interesting to watch."

The junior fellow next to him was new, and he said in surprise:

"What's the show?"

Li Zhen sneered:
"This Senior Brother Turtle usually stays at home and rarely goes out. He is as slippery as a glass egg, but he is a loser at heart. He doesn't even dare to spar with me."

"Unfortunately, the master was deceived and thought he still had potential. Hahahaha, today we will expose his true colors!"

After saying that, Li Zhen quickly ran back to Baita Villa.

Of course, at this time, Li Zhenxin also thought of a sentence:

"You're such a waste, why do you get so many resources every month? Those resources should belong to a genius like me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being such a waste."

Baita Villa is the residence of Elder Liu and Elder Wei in the Great Snow Mountain, and their disciples also live nearby with them.

Although this place is called a villa, it is actually similar to Qi Liansheng's Zhongchong Peak that Gong Tianwu visited in his previous life. It is the territory of the elders of the sect.

Of course, Gong Tianwu also lives there normally.

At this time, Gong Tianwu had not been back for several months, and he actually missed the "Huanyunju" where he lived.

Although it was just a thatched cottage, with a cave for cultivation at the back, which had a not-so-good spiritual cave inside - after all, it was the place where he had lived for twenty years.

Even if it's a doghouse, twenty years have passed, so there should be some feelings for it, right?
Therefore, Gong Tianwu couldn't help but smile and said:

"Seventh sister, we will be home soon."

"There is a pavilion inside Huanyunju. I call it Xunyue Pavilion. It's not big but very exquisite."

"There is also a small pond with a fat fish called A-piao in it. If you give it food, it will shake its head. If you don't give it food, it will spit bubbles at you."

The seventh sister laughed and said:

"Then I won't give it food. I like to watch it blow bubbles."

But suddenly, the seventh sister felt that Gong Tianwu's breathing became heavy, and his pace quickened. Her heart sank, and she knew that something must have happened.

***
Two minutes later,
Gong Tianwu stood at the door of his residence.

Xunyue Pavilion has disappeared, leaving only a small half of a wooden stump, which seems to have some wood ears growing on it.

As for the pond, it had disappeared completely. It was filled up and a stone table was placed on it.

Even the three characters "Huanyunju" on the plaque at the door were changed to "Zhengyitang".

The gate looks brand new, with a pair of stone lions on both sides, which is quite impressive.

To be honest, when Gong Tianwu first moved in here, the tattered plaque at the door read "Huanyunju".

He didn't care about it, so he just made do with it for the next twenty years.

But now Gong Tianwu thinks this name sounds nice.
Looking at his unrecognizable home, Gong Tianwu let out a long sigh.

The seventh sister whispered worriedly:

"My dear, are you okay?"

Gong Tianwu smiled and shook his head:
"Ah, I was too low-key before. If a tiger doesn't show its might, it will be regarded as a sick cat."

After saying this, he raised his foot and kicked the imposing door in front of him!
With a loud bang, the gate collapsed along with the adjacent wall.

Gong Tianwu walked slowly inside. Sure enough, he hadn't taken a few steps when he saw a man rushing out of the house. Without saying a word, he saw a flash of cold light:
"How dare you! Who dares to come here and cause trouble?"

The cold light this person cast was actually a snake-shaped dart when he looked closely! It looked like it was carved out of ice and was translucent.

But the weirdest thing is that after it was shot out, it kept wandering and swimming in the air as if it had its own consciousness.

It actually looks somewhat similar to the posture of a snake swimming in the water. It is completely impossible to predict where it will go in the next second. It can be said to be very mysterious.

So this thing is not a hidden weapon, but a magic weapon.

It is also the unique magic weapon of the Great Snow Mountain: Ice Snake Leech.

Many disciples choose to refine this thing as their first magical weapon because it is simple, concealed, and has great lethality.

If this magical weapon can be further strengthened, it will be an absolute magic weapon.

But Gong Tianwu casually stretched out his hand and clamped the vivid ice snake leech between his fingers, making it impossible to move forward.
He snorted coldly again, exerted a little force with his fingers, and the thing turned into a dead snake and fell down limply.

This skill of wiping away spiritual consciousness may seem simple, but it actually requires extremely high spiritual consciousness.

Simply put, it is only when one's spiritual awareness greatly crushes the opponent that one can do it so lightly and effortlessly.

Under normal circumstances, to erase the spiritual consciousness in the magic weapon, one must retreat and rest for two or three days.

Gong Tianwu casually stuffed this valuable ice snake leech into his chest:
"The refining method of this thing is a mess, only the materials are pretty good. Ah Qi will give it to you to play with."

Upon hearing this, the seventh sister was immediately extremely happy. She stretched out her claws to grab it, and started playing with it happily.

Of course, some are happy while others are sad. Gong Tianwu casually collected the ice snake leech and wiped off the spiritual consciousness attached to it. The disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect that jumped out was immediately in trouble.

He staggered back several steps with a muffled groan, leaning against the wall with a pale face. He could only point at Gong Tianwu and said in a trembling voice:

"you you!"

At this time, two figures rushed out from inside.

One of them roared, "You thief!" and then put his hands on his chest and formed seals with his five fingers at an astonishing speed. It looked dazzling and very complicated.

The surrounding air temperature also drops rapidly as it forms a seal.

But at the same time as he was forming the seal, Gong Tianwu had already taken a big step forward, and then as he stepped forward, he curled and raised his toes with his right foot, making a shooting motion like a football.

Suddenly, large amounts of mud and sand hit the front in the face, with great force.

This man had never encountered such a surprise attack before. He felt the pain of mud, sand and pebbles hitting his face and could only close his eyes and step back.

But Gong Tianwu had already caught up to him and pressed his palm on his chest.
The disciple from the Great Snow Mountain screamed and fell violently backwards. He groaned in pain on the ground, twisting his body and crying out in agony. He looked extremely miserable.

The remaining figure had clearly grasped the magic weapon in his hand, but the high spirits he had shown a second ago had completely turned into shock and anger.

Because Gong Tianwu was already looking at him, and he was exuding an extremely sharp aura!

This disciple didn't dare to move at all, because he could feel that if he did anything ill-intentioned, he would be met with the most severe counterattack.

Then, a man in his thirties strode out from the thatched cottage. He was wearing a moon-white warrior suit and had an ice-blue scimitar on his waist.

As the man walked, one could even see the cold air emanating from the scimitar, leaving wisps of white mist in the air.

Seeing this man, the other three disciples seemed to have found their backbone, and shouted with surprise/grievance/excitement:
"Senior Brother Zhao!!"

Senior Brother Zhao first looked at his three fellow apprentices, then looked at Gong Tianwu in front of him, and said with a gloomy face:
"Junior Brother Xu, why are you here to cause trouble?"

When these words were spoken, the three disciples nearby were immediately shocked. Is this still the hot-tempered Senior Brother Zhao?
Is this still the Senior Brother Zhao who is nicknamed the Snow King and would start a fight over anything he disagreed with?
