When the flame and gunpowder powder meet, a spark flashes away and then turns into a long tongue of flame. Along with the slowly falling gunpowder powder, it flies in the air, first turning into an arc-shaped ring of fire, and then turning into a large piece of fire.

Skyfire...

And then...

I didn't dare to look at it, so I took Xiaozhi and hid in the space where the blue snake was coiled.

I was scared at this moment, and Xiaozhi must have been scared too. I could feel her little body trembling non-stop, and I was almost the same, so I could only hug her tightly and give her the strength to respond.

At the same time, you can also make yourself look less inferior...

"Don't explode, don't explode, I don't want to be side by side with the sun..."

I have been praying in my heart...

It was like my prayers were answered by the gods in the dark. In the end, I still didn’t hear the scary loud noise. The seconds were as long as a day. In the blink of an eye, all the strength in my body was drained away. I held Xiaozhi in my arms.

His arms suddenly loosened, and the two people, one large and one small, slumped down, sniffed, and could only smell the diffuse smell of gunpowder smoke...

Oh my god, I like this smell as much as I like the smell of gasoline. I think this smell is my lucky smell!!

Isn't it a lucky thing that there was no explosion when so much gunpowder was sprinkled into the manure tank?

"that……"

Suddenly, the bald man's voice sounded in my ears: "Your surname is Wei, right?"

I relaxed completely and even felt like joking: "Bald man, you can't even remember the name of the person who defeated you?"

"Well, now I remember, I will stay away from you in the future."

The bald man's voice was extremely sincere: "Well, I remember your mother is still alive, right? Is she pretty? How old is she?"

"If you don't know how to speak, speak less. If you ask like that, it's like swearing..."

I said: "A son doesn't think his mother is ugly. What mother is not the most beautiful in the eyes of her son?"

"Oh, but from an objective point of view, just because of your appearance, she should be quite ordinary, right? I heard Lao Bai say that you actually look like your dad? That's right, the genes of people in your family are too

Being strong, even marrying a beautiful wife can't save you. After thousands of years, you and your ancestors can match up in appearance. They are the same ugly, the same face is disgusting. It seems... you can infer your mother's appearance based on you.

It’s a bit too one-sided, but she’s still that old after all…”

The bald man chattered non-stop: "What about your mother? Are there any other women in your family? Someone who is younger or more beautiful?"

I noticed something was wrong and frowned: "What the hell do you mean? Tell me clearly and don't make fun of my family. I can't afford to make such jokes!"

"It's okay, I just picked a young and beautiful woman from your family to say hello to."

The Erbaldy's tone suddenly rose: "Forget it if you kill my red snake, but also use fire to burn my blue snake, you don't do anything that people do, right? Do you know that I am the same person as the two of them?

Connected? It hurts so much!!"

A puff of smoke rushed into my lungs, choking me and coughing repeatedly. I hesitated, and finally said softly: "I'm sorry, it happened suddenly, and I couldn't help it. Thank you this time. I owe you my brother."

A life, I will give it back when I have a chance in the future!"

The bald man finally stopped using his venomous tongue.

I asked him to let me and Xiaozhi go out. There are some things that need to be dealt with, so it’s better to do it as soon as possible, otherwise problems will still easily arise!

Er Baldy simply put away the blue snake, and Xiaozhi, Lao Bai, and I were suddenly exposed to the billowing smoke.

"Hula", a dark face suddenly emerged from the thick smoke, and almost stuck directly on my face. I was so frightened that I picked up the Baipi knife and raised it above my head, but did not cut it down.

, blinked his eyes, looked at the dark face in front of him, and asked uncertainly: "Brother Harrier?"

"What do you think?"

Brother Yao Zi gritted his teeth and got out of the thick smoke, staring at me fiercely: "If you don't explain to me why you have to use explosives today, I will never finish with you!"

The usually calm man was really frightened this time, and he was in a really embarrassed state. Half of his originally tough-looking head was burned bald, and he looked like a bald man. No one knows what he went through after igniting the gunpowder.

What……

Following closely behind him were Wushuang and Zhang Xinya.

The two of them were also very embarrassed. Zhang Xinya's eyes almost burst into flames when she looked at me. Wushuang was a little better. He tried hard to show his signature shy smile, but the corner of his mouth twitched and he couldn't laugh...

"Well... let's work first and talk while we're working!"

I quickly got up and left.

The big bats that were so ferocious before now fell to the ground one after another, occasionally flapping their wings feebly, but unable to fly, or whining twice.

But I knew that this was only temporary. Once the smoke cleared, these big bats would become more alive. This was the best time to deal with them. I walked up to the nearest one and stabbed it through without hesitation.

's head.

Seeing this, Brother Yaozi and the others quickly followed the instructions. Even after a moment of hesitation, Xiaozhi took out the delicate little dagger given to her by Brother Yaozi, and a big bat fell cleanly.

Seeing this scene, I sighed silently in my heart. From the perspective of a brother, I really don’t want her to be involved in these things. I also want her to go to school and grow up happily like other children, but... we don’t have that condition.

I thought of what the Red Lady said at the beginning - once you fall into the world, you are a miserable person...

Her life is thinner than ours.

After gathering my thoughts, I took over these big bats and talked about the origin of these things.

This is a very ancient creature that only lives in extremely cold areas. It is mentioned in many ancient books. As for its names, there are many - snow bat, thousand-year-old bat, bat eagle...

There are many names, and the last one that can be seen in books should be during the Eastern Han Dynasty...

By the time of the Jin Dynasty, only legends remained about this substance, and it was so legendary that it became a precious medicinal material.

There is a legend about this thing in the Taoist book "Baopuzi" written by Ge Hong in the Jin Dynasty. The original sentence is like this - a thousand-year-old bat, the color is like white snow, when gathered, it hangs upside down, and the brain is heavy. This thing is dried in the shade.

Taking it will make you live longer...

This is probably the biggest flaw in Ge Hong's Baopuzi. He thinks that taking this stuff can lead to immortality...

In fact, this should be an ancient creature that is similar to a bird. It has an extremely ferocious temperament and a very long lifespan. It has no problem living for thousands of years. It is probably comparable to sponges, which have a lifespan of 10,000 years. The favorite

It eats meat, and sometimes mineral soil. It can even eat soil when it is very hungry. Like a plant, it absorbs nutrients from the soil and then pulls out the dregs. In addition to the requirements for altitude and temperature, this thing can really be said to be the best.

It is one of the most resilient species. If it were not for its appallingly low fertility and the inability to expand its population, the world would still not know if it is human...

The biggest dream of the ancients was to live forever. It has always been a firm belief of the Chinese people to eat and nourish themselves. Therefore, in order to live forever, all creatures with extremely long lifespans are good materials for alchemy, especially the Qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period.

Snow bats are one of their favorite materials…

I have read a transcript left by a Qi practitioner, which is like an experimental note, recording some of his experiences in alchemy. There is such an incident mentioned above.

As we all know, gunpowder has existed since the Spring and Autumn Period. It was a material used by Qi practitioners to make elixirs. Some people burned gunpowder and burned snow bats in an attempt to extract the longevity essence from the snow bats, so that people could live long lives. As a result, the snow bats suffered from pain.

, broke free and flew up. After inhaling the smoke of burning gunpowder, he became exhausted. He fluttered a few times and fell to the ground. After a while, he recovered again.

It can be seen that what this snow bat is most afraid of is gunpowder smoke. It should be poisonous if inhaled.

It is precisely because of this handbook that I have the following methods.

After hearing this, Brother Yao Zi's face improved a little. In fact, he had turned into a blackhead. It was said that his face was a bit pretentious. You couldn't tell it at all, but his tone softened a lot.

At this point, a lot of things are already obvious. These snow bats should live together with the old meerkat. In addition to the many feces left by these snow bats, we also found many snake scales here, confirming this.

It must be the old mongoose's nest.

It seems that the crimson world that the snakes are talking about must be these snow bats. Many lives gather together. In the eyes of the snakes, it is just a large area of ​​red!

The old mongoose was not there, but we refused to give up. After resolving the crisis, we immediately started searching.

Soon, in an inconspicuous corner, a dark hole caught our attention. Judging from the soil around the hole, it must have been recently excavated...

"Hey, here, people become better with age, and this beast is very clever even when he gets old!"
