Chapter 48: Fighting with Fire Cloud

Yu Zecheng held the pagoda and watched it all night. Early the next morning, Yu Zecheng stopped watching. When the sun rose, he stood on the roof, absorbing the power of the sun and practicing his Blood Gang Art.

Everything on the site is stable and under the control of Master Gao Feng. Everything is normal. The income and expenditure are gradually reasonable. After deducting various expenses in a month, at least three hundred taels of silver can be put into his pocket from the consumption in Rouge House. In fact, Yu Zecheng knew that if he did everything himself and adjusted the tax rate, his money could be increased much more.

But then he would block his disciples' money supply, and he would have no time to practice. This is just right now. As long as my strength increases, it will be much more useful than a hundred and eighty silver coins in a month.

The only unusual thing these days is that Cui Renxiong invited Mr. Tie Chi's disciple for him to finally come, and he built a mechanism formation for his stronghold.

But there's something wrong with the men he brought with him. Yu Zecheng discovered through the Blood Eye Qi Reading Technique that each of these hired workers who built the formation had strong blood energy, and none of them were weaker than Lin Yehong's blood energy. Some even reached the level of Ma Laohei. There are enough people like this There were more than twenty people, two of whom Yu Zecheng had met before. They were all worship masters supported by the inner gate of Black Tiger Hall. Ma Laohei was respectful when he saw them. Now they are working hard to build the mechanism formation for him. , living in the stronghold, I don’t know what they want to do.

Just do whatever you like. Anyway, you don't have to use this method to deal with yourself. Now everything in his territory is on track, and Yueyue himself has money in his pocket. Although his subordinates may not be so honest and are using small means to collect money for themselves, but as long as nothing serious happens, Yu Ze will turn a blind eye. At a glance, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. No one will fight for nothing if there is no benefit.

What should I do next? The heart must be transformed first, which is the next goal. Yu Zecheng absorbed the remaining three spirit stones for cultivation in the past few days, and then set his sights on a Gangan Tongxin branch.

According to the record of the Buddha, this spiritual branch can increase the cultivation level of immortals. It is much more useful than spiritual stones. If you get it, you can turn blood into steel and enter the realm of three-layer blood steel immortal bone. At that time, he would have reached the advanced level of Qi-entraining realm, the third level of Qi-refining stage.

Rather than act in his heart, Yu Zecheng began to rack his brains to think of a way to kill the Fire Cloud Snake and get the Gangan Tongxinzhi.

Send out disciples to attack? It's useless. The Fire Cloud Snake can swallow fire clouds, and the fire poison spreads throughout the area of ​​100 feet. None of my disciples have entered the innate realm. If they go there, they will die.

Hire experts from outside? No, money attracts people's hearts. If you go to grandpa, he will definitely monopolize this elixir and won't even give it to himself. Yaxiang would definitely wonder how she could find so many good things, it would simply be luring the wolf into the house.

How to do it? Yu Zecheng thought about it for a long time, but had no choice, so he stood up and started walking around the room. What should he do?

Yu Zecheng thought about it and took out the Book of Pagodas to watch again. He suddenly saw an introductory text about Fire Cloud Snake:

"Likes to eat grouse, greedy to excess"

Yu Zecheng slapped his thigh and had an idea. He immediately stood up and went out to give orders, ordering his disciples to start buying grouse and drunken red berries everywhere. Grouse is a kind of pheasant that can climb to the top of green pines tens of feet high in the mountains. They like to eat the towers of green pines. They are covered in snow-white, so they are called grouse. Grouse is delicious and difficult to catch. It is one of the specialties of Mangkhut City.

Drunken red fruit is a common medicinal material in Shiwanda Mountain. It is specially collected and planted by the mountain people. It is a material for making wine. If you eat too much, you will easily feel drunk. Snakes also like to eat it. After eating it, they will become drunk. Will be slow to move. These two things can be bought as long as you have money.

In this way, Yu Zecheng bought thirty live grouse, and then fed them drunken red berries and green pine tree towers. He raised them for ten days, and each of them gained enough fat to be put to use.

Every day, Yu Zecheng takes a grouse to the location of Gangan Tongxinzhi, which is a high mountain. The locals call this mountain Bijia Peak. The name is appropriate. This peak resembles a writing brush and reaches straight into the sky.

Halfway up the mountainside of Bijia Peak, there is a slope with slightly flat terrain, about a hundred feet in diameter, which was washed by rainwater. There are rocks piled up everywhere. There are many sloping gullies and culverts formed by rainwater on the ground under the rocks. In the center of the slope, three boulders form a zigzag formation. In the middle of the boulders is an inconspicuous small tree, which is Gangan Tongxinzhi.

The Fire Cloud Snake is entrenched under the boulder. Every day when the sun rises, it hides in the shadow of the stone and remains motionless.

This Fire Cloud Snake guarding the central branch of Gangan Gan has a body spread out to be two feet long and one foot thick. It has a white crown on its head and a fiery red body. As long as the birds and animals are close to it within ten feet, it will open its mouth and suck them into its belly.

Yu Zecheng had been observing for a long time, and every time he would use the blood hiding technique to lurk thirty feet away from the Fire Cloud Snake. If he went further, the Fire Cloud Snake would discover Yu Zecheng's presence.

Yu Zecheng finally chose the location, thirty-three feet to the east, and released a live grouse nearby. The grouse would have its wings broken, its legs broken, and unable to escape. After putting it down, it felt the breath of the Fire Cloud Snake. , calling non-stop.

The cries of the grouse gradually attracted the Fire Cloud Snake, tempting it to leave the guarded branches of the Gangan branch and come out to eat the grouse.

The grouse contains the taste of drunk red fruit, and the Fire Cloud Snake can't resist this delicious taste at all, but it is still very vigilant, wandering around, checking the environment, and after making sure that nothing happened, it gradually relaxed its attention and ate the grouse.

From then on, Yu Zecheng came to throw loose grouse every day to seduce the Fire Cloud Snake to come and devour it. Each time the location of the release would increase by one foot to the east, luring the Fire Cloud Snake to slowly move farther and farther away from the Gan Qian Tongxin Branch without knowing it. The Fire Cloud Snake ate chicken every day, which tasted delicious. Animals are animals, and they are not smart. Gradually, they crawled far away to catch grouse.

In this way, thirty grouse, one month, Yu Zecheng's goal was achieved, and he could seduce the Fire Cloud Snake to eat chicken sixty feet away. Gradually, the Fire Cloud Snake completely relaxed and was used to this kind of swallowing grouse. Finally, the day of action came.

This time, loose grouse was thrown again, but it was not thrown by Yu Zecheng, but by his own men. After putting down the grouse, he desperately escaped. This time, the grouse was actually dead, and the call was imitated by a human. A large cold iron back-thorn fish hook was hidden in the grouse's body, and several strands of solid gold wire were firmly locked on a boulder in the distance.

The Fire Cloud Snake went out to devour the grouse as before. Before leaving, it habitually checked the surroundings and found no danger. Then it swam over slowly and swallowed the grouse into its stomach, waiting for it to be digested slowly.

At the moment it swallowed the grouse into its stomach, Yu Zecheng, who was lurking in the south with the blood storage technique, rushed out suddenly and rushed to the Gan Qian Tongxin Branch 30 feet away from him, trying to steal the Gan Qian Tongxin Branch.

When he rushed to the Gan Qian Tongxin Branch, Yu Zecheng suddenly felt dizzy. The area near the Gan Qian Tongxin Branch was full of highly toxic gas. No wonder the Fire Cloud Snake dared to go out and devour the grouse so fearlessly. It turned out that there was this ambush.

At the critical moment, a thin film rose up. It was the protective talisman that Yu Zecheng seized from Tan Erlang that was activated. It raised a protective shield to resist the invasion of the poison. With this breath of time, Yu Zecheng's blood energy also moved, and the poison absorbed in the body was immediately expelled from the body. In this process, Yu Zecheng tried to slow down. He pulled up the Ganqian Tongxin branch with a very fast speed, and then fled madly to the west.

The fire cloud snake roared and chased after it. At this time, the huge fish hook swallowed into its stomach played a role. The golden thread pulled hard, making it extremely painful. It stopped immediately and lost precious time. The fire cloud snake snorted angrily, opened its mouth and spit out a fire cloud. The golden thread was immediately melted, and opened its mouth to spit out the grouse containing the cold iron fish hook.

Then it chased after Yu Zecheng, occasionally spitting out fire clouds, and the fire clouds went straight to Yu Zecheng, but the distance between the two was too far, so it had no effect at all. The Fire Cloud Snake chased in the direction of Yu Zecheng's escape. For ordinary people, the Fire Cloud Snake's speed was extremely fast, but for Yu Zecheng who was running at full speed with the Light Spirit Technique and Blood Escape Technique, it was still far behind.

After chasing for three miles, there was a mountain pass in front of them, and they saw that the mountain pass was full of sulfur snake medicine and other snake repellent drugs. The Fire Cloud Snake was powerful, but it was also a snake, so it immediately slowed down for these. Fortunately, these only blocked the mountain pass. Snakes have their own ways, and the Fire Cloud Snake immediately avoided these things and passed the mountain pass at other locations.

Who knew that before the Fire Cloud Snake had crawled far on its snake path, there was another pile of drugs blocking the way. This was the obstacles set up by Yu Zecheng who hired many snake catchers in Mangzhu. Just like that, the first opportunity was lost. The huge Fire Cloud Snake wanted to catch up, but there was no match for Yu Zecheng there, and all the traces of tracking were blocked by these drugs. When the Fire Cloud Snake bypassed here, it had already been left far behind by Yu Zecheng and could no longer see Yu Zecheng.

Yu Zecheng returned to the Mangzhu stronghold in one breath, laughing. With the elixir in hand, his cultivation had hope again. It was really a way out.
