Chapter 14 Weapon Manufacturing "Don't listen to what He Qi and the others say about auxiliary warfare...
“Don’t listen to He Qi and the others saying that the auxiliary system’s combat power is not good and it’s dangerous to go out. The auxiliary system is just slightly worse than the combat system. Other than that, its combat power is not weaker than the combat system.” He Lan thought what He Qi was saying in front of Ye Lu, rolled her eyes, and continued. She was indeed qualified to say that because her talent was also in the auxiliary system.
It's even more advanced, about the auxiliary system of stone.
Ye Lu didn't know the details, but she occasionally heard He Qi say that He Lan's talent was very rare, which could not only be used for farming but also to strengthen oneself. The strange food she was looking for now was to extend this talent to the entire guard team.
Ye Lu thought for a moment and then agreed. The guard team did have a lot of good things, and Ye Lu was very confident in his own strength. Besides, he did have to find weapons himself.
Ye Lu smiled and nodded, saying: "Then I'll trouble Aunt Lan." At the same time, he thought in his mind, hoping that when he went out to look for it, he could find the strange thing that was a plant, so that he would have the materials to make weapons.
Xi ordered his men to stay in the guard team, while Ye Lu went back. He only agreed to come to the guard team occasionally, and most of the time he would have to ride on the ox cart. He was worried about leaving the ghost scholar alone.
The playful man seemed to have completely let himself go in the guard team.
When he first joined the guard team, he seemed a little uncomfortable. When he returned home those days, he was covered in wounds and blood, some of which were his own and some were strange. Ye Lu and the ghost scholar could not help but frown when they saw this. But Xi Mingren himself did not take it seriously. On the contrary, he was very excited.
For dinner that day, I not only ate more biscuits, but also more dried meat than usual.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar watched for a long time, and were somewhat concerned about his unusualness, but the playful man didn't care at all. After eating, he lay outside the carriage to keep watch. Before leaving, he was still in the mood to remind his two brothers.
"Remember to leave the door open for me!" The playful man said very seriously. After that, he ran away without waiting for the two brothers in the carriage to reply. Only Ye Lu and the ghost scholar were left looking at each other.
This went on for a few days.
The Ghost Scholar and Ye Lu frowned several times. Every time the playful man came back, he looked more and more miserable, but his spirits were getting better and better. He even had the mood to eat one pancake after another. Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar looked at his increasingly thin body and didn't say anything. After a few days, the Ghost Scholar made pancakes again.
I went long on purpose this time just in case there wasn’t enough food for the people who were playing around.
This time it happened to be at night, and the convoy stopped to prepare dry food for the next few days.
At night, the sky was pitch black, with no stars but a moon. This moon was very strange, not bright but dim. The air was still very hot, making people feel uncomfortable. Ye Lu was guarding the ox cart nearby, and the ghost scholar was making pancakes nearby.
The ghost scholar handled these kinds of trivial matters very well, especially those that required learning. The ghost scholar could learn them almost immediately. After only learning them a few times, the ghost scholar could make pancakes very well.
Just when Ye Lu and the ghost scholar were thinking about the food problem, the playful man came back, but this time he was unusual. He was holding a bloody piece of meat in his hand. There was no blood in the meat, and there was a little gray-black color mixed in the meat. The other hand was half a skeleton of bony white bones, emitting a little bit of strange power.
Is he bringing back prey?
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows when he saw the appearance of the playful man. This time the playful man was the most embarrassed. There was a cut on his arm where the bone was visible, but he didn't care at all and was still alive and kicking. When he saw the ghost scholar and Ye Lu, his face, which had originally had a hint of hostility, instantly became cheerful.
"Here!" The playful man handed the beast's flesh to the ghost scholar, saying, "This is a little tough, but it has a lot of ghost power. The guards are lucky this time, so the meat needs to be stewed for a longer time."
After doing all this, Xi Mingren dragged the other half of the skeleton to Ye Lu's side and sat cross-legged.
Perhaps it was because he got the spoils of war that Ximingren finally felt willing to tell everyone about what happened during his time in the guard team. The guard team was actually okay, but there were a lot of rules, and there were always things he couldn't do. It was a hindrance at the beginning, and he suffered a lot because he was unwilling to listen.
Because he doesn't follow the rules, Guijue is always the first one to come to him. The key is that those Guijue cannot be eaten. The edible Guijue beasts must be found by experienced people in the guard team.
After suffering many losses, he learned his lesson.
Today was his first time to participate in a large-scale hunt. Because he performed well, the leader of the guard, Helan, gave him a large piece of meat. When he heard that he needed strange bones to make weapons, he gave him a Huangli-level strange skeleton.
As he said this, Ximingren's expression showed a hint of pride.
As mentioned before, Ximingren has good looks, even comparable to Ye Lu, so it doesn't look out of place for him to make such a childish expression.
The ghost scholar and Ye Lu just listened quietly. The ghost scholar didn't know how to cook the flesh of the strange beast at first, so he asked Aunt Huang, who had a pot next to his house. Aunt Huang knew what it was as soon as she saw the flesh. The cheerful and strong middle-aged woman said, "It turned out to be a Kui beast."
"This kind of meat is a bit like wolf meat, with a strong smell and not very tasty. Because of its large size and strong strength, the guards will basically not let it go if they encounter it. It seems that Ah Xiwawa is doing well in the guards. This meat is a good thing. If he doesn't make any contribution, the guards will not give him any meat."
“This kind of meat is easy to cook.”
"Cut into pieces, dry-fry in a pan, stir-fry until the oil comes out, then pour out the oil. Too much oil is not good for the ghost power, so we can't eat it. Then add water and stew it vigorously. Oh, remember to put more cornus officinalis." Aunt Huang was instructing the ghost scholar on how to cook the meat. Ye Lu, who was standing next to her, heard the last sentence and remembered that they seemed to have brought everything they had when they fled this time, and cornus officinalis was among their luggage.
Ye Lu stood up and searched the carriage for a long time before finally finding it. He got off the carriage and handed the dogwood to the ghost scholar.
It was almost time for other families to start having dinner before they started eating.
Facts have proved that what Xi Mingren said was right. The taste of the meat was very ordinary, but the strange power was very strong. One could feel the strange power just by escaping into the body.
The three grown men ate very quickly. After they finished it in no time, there was still a lot of Kui's hand meat left. The ghost scholar was thinking about whether to make it into jerky. Anyway, as long as it was not oily, and some dogwood was added, it would be fine. He remembered that he brought a lot of dogwood with him when he fled the famine this time, so it would be enough.
Because the ghost scholar has also awakened a martial art, but it's still too weak. The one about the wind is called the "Mocking the Wind and Chanting the Moon". When he said it at that time, he was laughed at by Ye Lu. It's worthy of being Shi Shuren's martial art, it really suits you. The ghost scholar tried it for a long time and found that this martial art can only control a little bit of wind and make the five senses more acute, but there is no difference in anything else.
"..."The ghost scholar has already accepted the fact that his talent is really not strong. Especially when his two brothers are extremely talented, he has a good mentality.
The ghost scholar subconsciously began to wonder if he could control the wind to speed up the production of dried meat.
The ghost scholar did what he said. He used the remaining time to cook the meat. He strung the meat together with a rope and hung it in a ventilated place in the carriage. He also used wind control tools from time to time to blow away as much moisture as possible from the dried meat. Ye Lu adapted well to this.
Where is the playful person?
This kid was still cheerful, maybe because he finally got some exercise and was in a good mood every day. The only problem was that he was always messing with that skeleton, which was covered in blood and flesh. Ye Lu was disgusted and told him to get out and even put some leaves under it. If the blood still attracted weird things, he would plant him in the field.
The playful people were busy with their own things not far away from the ghost scholar.
You know what, he actually made something out of that skeleton.
There was no visible flesh on the skeleton, it was a pure white color. And no one knew what method the playboy had used to grind the skeleton flat. The particularly wide section was split into bone-like pieces, which were very thin with sharp edges and looked like dominoes at first glance.
Both sides of the bone are finely carved with faint dark patterns, which cannot be seen without careful observation. There is a hint of blood in the strange aura, which is very consistent with the characteristics of a playful person.
Ye Lu looked at it for a moment and found that there was something else hidden in the dominoes. Many dominoes could be combined together to form another weapon, but Ye Lu didn't know what the weapon was.
The playful man smiled and held one of the dozen bone tiles between his fingers. A thin layer of bone flakes flew between his slender fingers. He said, "It's not bad. Although the weapon is not as good as the one we had on the Star Network before, it's better than nothing."
The ghost scholar looked back from outside, took a look at the dominoes in the hipster's hand, and raised his eyebrows, obviously recognizing the weapon commonly used by the hipster.
After the ghost scholar finished looking at the playful man, he glanced at Ye Lu who was standing beside him.
Ye Lu: "......?" Why is this boy looking at him?
The ghost scholar hesitated for a moment, and seemed a little hesitant. Although he was still afraid that his Taoist master would be angry, he still asked the question in his heart honestly: "Master, your weapon..."
The ghost scholar didn't say anything, but his eyes spoke the rest, and his meaning was self-evident.
Ye Lu understood what the ghost scholar meant. He was worried about his safety. The bloodline of the Son of Taishan God was quite special and not weak, but the key point was that he needed special weapons. The only consolation was that he could make the weapon himself and there were no special requirements for the weapon materials.
Basically, it is the instinct of the Son of Mount Tai to know what kind of ritual vessel can be made by looking at the materials.
"Don't worry, wait until this period is over." Ye Lu comforted the ghost scholar's worries. How could he not care about his safety? This is a special period.
The ghost scholar also knew Ye Lu's thoughts. He felt unsafe now and wanted to continue waiting. He was unwilling to waste time on his weapon. The playful man was too lively.
The ghost scholar was silent for a while, but he didn't force it in the end, because he knew Ye Lu had made up his mind.
It turned out that Ye Lu's consideration was correct.
Over the next few days, the entire village convoy could not find any water source along the way.
After so many days, there wasn't much water in everyone's water tanks to begin with. Those who had less water started to use it sparingly. Most people wouldn't drink too much water unless it was absolutely necessary. But the weather was still terribly hot.
