Chapter 229: Gift of Poison Fangs in the Beast Cave
Surprisingly, despite Xiangliu's massive size, its teeth were no bigger than a man's arm, and were even smaller than the stalagmites in the Supreme Sect's Peiyuan Cave...
Looking at the shabby-looking fangs in front of her, Lingxiang hesitated for a long time. On the one hand, it was hard to believe that these were Xiangliu's fangs. On the other hand, she felt that the beast would not be so honest.
But after thinking about it, she accepted it.
Since Fairy Yaoji has given the order, the black beast wouldn't dare to do anything strange. After all, the world is full of wonders.
The tusk given by the evil beast was actually deceived from Xiangliu, but Xiangliu was young at that time, so the tusk seemed so small.
Moreover, Lingxiang also learned from Fairy Yao Ji that the tooth her mother had obtained that year was actually made by the evil beast.
No wonder the evil beast always looks at him with vicious eyes. It turns out there is a reason for this.
Of course, the evil beast refused to give it, but she had no choice but to obey the order of Fairy Yao Ji, and she dared not disobey.
Although it is true that Yunzhongjun is the lord of Yunmeng, all the rare beasts, big and small, in Yunmeng Lake are under the control of Fairy Yaoji. If you want to stay in Yunmeng, you cannot offend her.
Alas...living under someone else's roof!
Moreover, Fairy Yao Ji had some leverage over the black beast, which made her even more afraid to act rashly and she had to obey its orders.
Alas...you are holding someone against you!
However, the evil beast did not intend to let the spiritual incense be taken away so easily.
"Yes, yes~ It is indeed that stupid big guy's fang. Now I give it to you, do you dare to take it?"
After hearing what the evil beast said, Lingxiang was confused.
"Why not?"
The evil beast sat down on the side, crossed his legs and picked his teeth, looking like he was waiting to see a good show.
"It's common knowledge that that fool is full of poison, and this tooth is no exception. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good ingredient for the elixir, right? Don't you humans often say, 'All medicine is three parts poison'? Where does the poison come from? Isn't it from the ingredients?"
This was indeed true. Lingxiang was well versed in pharmacology and of course knew this, but she didn't seem to care and just picked it up.
Lingxiang picked up the fang with both hands and weighed it. It looked small, but it was surprisingly heavy. This frightened Long Qi, who was standing by. He hurriedly tried to grab the fang, but Lingxiang flicked her fingers and put it into the small bag at her waist.
Long Qi quickly stepped forward to examine Ling Xiang, asking if she was feeling unwell. He then fiercely shouted at the evil beast, "If she is poisoned, I will not let you go."
The evil beast, however, looked innocent, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands: "Blame me? It's not like I asked her to take it."
However, Lingxiang was very calm. She comforted Long Qi and repeatedly assured him that she would be fine. Only then did Long Qi reluctantly let her go.
Seeing Lingxiang's calm expression, Xieshou was very confused: "You...you are not afraid of death?"
"Of course I am afraid, but so what?"
Looking at Lingxiang with a smile on her face, E Shou was distracted for a moment, as if she saw Tumi.
More than ten years ago, Tumi said the same thing to her with a smile.
…
"Of course I am afraid, but so what?"
"If you are afraid of death, why do you insist on getting this fang?" The evil beast was very puzzled.
Tumi smiled again, squatted down, touched the head of the evil beast and said, "As a human being, you will die. This is inevitable. It's just a matter of time. What's the point of being afraid?"
"People are born to die. They cannot choose their birth, and they cannot avoid death. This is the natural law. No matter how much you fear it, it will not help. Death will come sooner or later."
"Since it is beyond my control, I might as well live in fear, earnestly, and devoutly wait for that day to come..."
…
"Hmph! Not alike at all!" After coming back to his senses, the evil beast turned his head to the side and snorted.
Long Qi didn't understand what the evil beast was saying, but he didn't care. He quickly asked Lingxiang why she insisted on touching the tooth even though she knew it was poisonous.
Lingxiang raised three fingers: "There are three reasons."
"First, if I want to achieve the goal of reversing the fate of the world, I must obtain the Xiangliu Fang. Even if it's poisonous, I must obtain it. Second, the words of this false beast must be false. If it comes from her, the opposite of what she said cannot be wrong. Think about it, if the fang is really poisonous, how did she get it here after obtaining it?"
"As for the end..."
Lingxiang kept the secret a secret, which attracted the evil beast to turn around curiously.
I have to say that the two points Lingxiang analyzed were indeed correct. I didn't expect that this little girl could see things so clearly.
"What happened in the end?"
Seeing that the evil beast couldn't help but ask, Lingxiang laughed, and looked like a little fox who had stolen something.
The book says that the false beast is extremely prying, and it is true.
Fortunately, since I was a child, I often went down the mountain with Maidong to listen to storytelling. It turned out that what I learned from the teachers was really of no use.
"You want to know?"
The beast frowned and flared its nose. She felt that Lingxiang had no good intentions, but she really wanted to know...
"Then..." Lingxiang said, picking up something from behind her, "This thing belongs to me!"
The beast looked up and saw that Lingxiang was holding an egg in her hand. The egg was the size of a human head and had intricate patterns on it, which was very beautiful.
"Ah!" the beast screamed, "You really have bad intentions!"
That's a phoenix egg! Thousands of years ago, I finally "begged" it from the Queen Mother of the West!
The black beast is quite bold, as it actually dares to steal things from the Queen Mother of the West. Otherwise, why would it be controlled by the Fairy Yao Ji?
She didn't want to be arrested and taken to Kunlun Hill as soon as she left Yunmengze. That old hag wasn't one to get along with...
As for why the Evil Beast deceived the Queen Mother of the West, it wasn't a whim. In fact, the Evil Beast really enjoyed being around people, but she was born with a habit of lying, and over time, no one wanted to associate with her.
One day, a piece of news came from somewhere that the shell of a phoenix could cure lying. Upon hearing this, the deceiver went to Kunlun. After all, the phoenix was the mount of the Queen Mother of the West, and only she had it.
She got the phoenix egg, but it didn't have the effects as rumored, and it caused her a lot of suffering.
The Evil Beast seemed to have a special liking for the number "three". She had also tricked three phoenix eggs back then, one of which hatched shortly after she brought it back.
But what the evil beast never expected was that the little phoenix would be so troublesome. Not only did it almost burn down her cave, but it also always wanted food and drink at every turn.
Although the beast spoke without telling the truth, it was a kind-hearted person and could not abandon the young bird, so it had to do its best to raise it.
It's not easy to be both a father and a mother! Not only is the Phoenix Shell useless, but she even has to work as a wet nurse.
These things naturally happened before Yun Zhongjun moved Yunmengze into Shuijing. The little phoenix flew to Kunlun early.
Looking at the phoenix egg in Lingxiang's hand, Heshou hesitated for a long time: If he gave it to her, after all, he had obtained it with great difficulty. If he didn't give it to her, he was afraid that the egg would break one day and he would suffer again.
Never mind! A trouble in exchange for a reason, it's not a loss!
"Well... if you really want it, just take it!" The evil beast said with pretended pain.
Humph! If the little phoenix breaks out of its shell one day, let's see how you, little girl, will handle it.
Seeing Lingxiang happily put the egg into the small bag on her waist, Heshou secretly gloated.
"Now that you've got what you want, tell me about it now! Don't hide it!"
"That's easy," Lingxiang said happily. "It's like a venomous snake. The poison is in its cheeks, not its teeth. If the teeth were poisonous, wouldn't Xiangliu also be poisoned when he swallowed it?"
Oh! I see!
Long Qi suddenly understood. No wonder when he was a child, when the kitchen at home made snake soup, they always buried the snake head separately in the ground to prevent the poison sac in the snake's mouth!
"Hmph! You're just playing tricks!" The evil beast glanced at Lingxiang, turned its head to the side, raised its chin high and snorted, "You're not as discerning as Tumi. At least she took a copy of the Supreme Mystical Art from me, while you only had eyes for an egg!"
The supreme mystical art?
Lingxiang was extremely puzzled, but she didn't show it at all. She rolled her eyes and said, "Huh! My Yuanqing Sect has all kinds of skills, but why would we care about your two inferior books?"
Upon hearing this, the evil beast immediately jumped up and said, "Not worthy of being shown on the stage? Bah! You know shit! How can those common methods of the mortal world compare to my martial arts? That is a heaven-defying technique that can..."
Halfway through his words, the evil beast finally reacted and glanced at Lingxiang with his hands folded: "Tsk! Still trying to trick me? No way!"
The Art of Dropping the Sky? What kind of magic is that?
Lingxiang has read all the books in Langhuan Pavilion since she was a child. If there is such a technique, she must know about it, but she has never seen this book in Xianyunju.
Could it be that he was hidden by those old guys again?
Forget it, let’s discuss it in detail after we return to Yuanqing!
