Chapter 365: The scent of the strange snake. The strange snake skin feels cold to the touch. ...
The snake skin feels cold to the touch.
Ye Lu subconsciously touched it a few times. The touch reminded him of jade. Unexpectedly, the snake scales of the cunning snake man were not as hard as they looked. Instead, their actual texture was more like softer white jade.
The coldness that Ye Lu felt should be the coldness coming from inside the snake skin.
But it's very interesting.
Ye Lu couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
"It feels pretty good." Ye Lu had time to sigh to Guimen Youzi. After a pause, Ye Lu gently pulled the strange snake skin in his hand. Before he used much strength, a thin crack was torn on the snake skin.
Ye Lu: “.......?”
It seems that even the snake skin shed by the serpent man is not very strong. Ye Lu originally thought it would be something like scales, but when he actually touched it, it felt like a shell.
Ye Lu nonchalantly picked up the torn snake skin in his hand and pretended nothing had happened.
"Gui Men You Zi." After Ye Lu collected the snake skin, he couldn't help but ask Gui Men You Zi: "How do you make the strange food you mentioned?"
"You? Let's talk about it when we get back to Chongshan." Guimen Youzi really pretended that he saw nothing. Just because it was snake skin, if it was a Guiserpent man, it would definitely not have such a good temper.
"Why do you have to go back to Chongshan? Is there anything that must be done in Chongshan?" Ye Lu immediately understood what Guimen Youzi meant. Although he understood it, he still couldn't help but be curious. What's wrong with making strange food? He was right in front of Guimen Youzi, and Guimen Youzi could teach him.
Guimen Youzi had a headache: "I don't want you to go back to Chongshan."
"You can't eat the skin of the snake people, nor can you make armor from it. Instead, you can make incense for smelling and offering sacrifices." Seeing that Ye Lu really didn't understand, Guimen Youzi explained, "The process of making incense is very troublesome and requires several specific opportunities. It should have been made for the snake people, but since you've come this far, you don't have to wait for them to recover. It's the same for you to make incense."
"It's best to go to a place on the top of a mountain where you can see the sea of clouds. As for the time of day, morning is the best time." Guimen Youzi said, "I'll tell you how to do it when the time comes."
Ye Lu saw that Guimen Youzi's words were very logical and he could tell at a glance that he was not talking nonsense, so he believed it a little more.
"Then I'll be leaving?" Ye Lu said goodbye.
"Go, go, I'll call you tomorrow morning." Guimen Youzi was eager for Ye Lu to leave. He was really annoyed by the questions. He began to regret why he asked Ye Lu to make the incense himself. If it were the snake people, it would probably be much faster and he wouldn't have to waste so much saliva.
Guimen Youzi was just thinking about it in his mind, but if he was really asked to do so, he might not be willing to do it. The Guimen snakes had just shed their skin and needed to take good care of their bodies. It would be stupid for it to let its own precious little snakes do it.
The next morning, Guimen Youzi called Ye Lu as agreed.
Guimen Youzi gave guidance to Ye Lu through his spiritual consciousness.
"Where is the snake skin?" Guimen Youzi's voice sounded in his ears. Ye Lu lowered his head and took out the snake skin as Guimen Youzi said. He thought about it and felt that this was a rare opportunity, so he took out another snake skin. He put the remaining snake skin in the wooden box and put it back into his arms.
Now, Ye Lu had in his hand the two largest strange snake skins that he had collected yesterday.
The colors are also the most gorgeous and the magic power is the strongest.
"What should we do next?" Ye Lu asked Guimen Youzi in a low voice.
"Crush it." Guimen Youzi had been paying attention to Ye Lu's every move. He was a little surprised to see Ye Lu take out the two largest snake skins, but soon he returned to normal. Lord Chongshan has always been bold and careful, so it is not impossible that he is willing to take a risk. Guimen Youzi was worried that he didn't make it clear enough, so he added, "The more broken the better. You can think of this as perfume powder. Be careful and don't use your power, it will easily contaminate the material."
"I know." Ye Lu kept Guimen Youzi's words in mind and crushed the strange snake skin with his hands. Unexpectedly, the strange snake skin was very easy to crush. With a slight force, the snake skin broke into small particles like a crisp insect shell.
Soon, both snake skins were crushed into small pieces by Ye Lu's hands and then put into a wooden box by Ye Lu.
Ye Lu originally wanted to go find tools for making incense, but was refuted by the Guimen Youzi, who said that the Guishe people never had so many rules for making incense. The more strange tools you use, the more impurities it will get. The wooden box of the Shizhu Village caravan is just fine.
Ye Lu also thought it was a good idea. Thinking of this sentence, he put all the year-end gifts in his hand into the wooden box.
Ye Lu squinted his eyes and saw that the snake skin particles in the wooden box were still sparkling with bright light, and each particle was crystal clear. However, Ye Lu always felt that they were not fine enough. According to Guimen Youzi's standards, it should be at the level of incense powder for making incense.
There were apparently not enough snakeskin particles in the wooden box.
Ye Lu patiently crushed the snake skin particles in the wooden box with his hands again. He still remembered the Guimen Youzi's previous warning that it was best not to use ghost power, so he just used his hand strength.
Ye Lu then crushed it twice more, the last time almost using all the strength of the Son of Taishan God. Only then did he look at the powder in the wooden box with a satisfied look. No, the snake skin particles in the wooden box could now be called scale powder.
"How is it?" Ye Lu asked Guimen Youzi with a proud tone.
"Enough, enough. It's better than I expected." Guimen Youzi was also straightforward and said quickly: "Hurry up and extract a wisp of cloud from the sea of clouds in front of you. Remember, use your spiritual sense, not your power." Guimen Youzi gave another reminder at the end.
"ah?"
"Why else would I ask you to find a place near the sea of clouds? Hurry up, don't wait until the sun comes out and miss the time."
Seeing that the anxiety in Guimen Youzi's tone did not seem fake, Ye Lu quickly used his spiritual sense to begin extracting cloud energy from the nearest sea of clouds.
Ye Lu's spiritual sense had never done such a job before, but his spiritual sense had always been strong. He was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but after Guimen Youzi taught him a few times, he soon became proficient. Not long after, a wisp of light and clear cloud was slowly pulled out by Ye Lu and firmly put into the wooden box.
As soon as the cloud entered the wooden box, it quickly merged with the scale powder in the box to form a texture similar to soil.
Before Ye Lu could carefully observe what material the scale powder mud in the wooden box was made of, his thoughts were interrupted by a series of words from Guimen Youzi.
"The sun is out, quickly open the wooden box and absorb the energy of Zichen." Guimen Youzi urged hurriedly.
Ye Lu's first reaction was to open the wooden box as Guimen Youzi said. Deep in the sea of clouds, a sun slowly rose. The first ray of light fell on the wooden box in Ye Lu's hand with a faint purple air, and it seemed to dye the scaly soil in the wooden box a faint purple.
Only after Ye Lu finished it did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I made it in time.
He then reacted a little late and realized that Guimen Youzi's method of making incense seemed like the incense-making skills of the ancient tribes inherited in his memory, ancient and rough.
The ray of light was not that much and was quickly absorbed by the scale powder soil. After doing all this, Ye Lu withdrew his hand and dropped the wooden box in front of him. Only then did Ye Lu realize that it was not an illusion, the scale powder soil was really stained with a light purple.
"Fortunately, you? You're lucky. You got all the conditions right at once." The voice of Guimen Youzi rejoicing was heard in my ear.
"Is there anything else next?" Ye Lu asked Guimen Youzi again. He was worried that he had missed something.
"It's gone, it's gone." Guimen Youzi said affirmatively.
Ye Lu was completely relieved. He didn't need Guimen Youzi to tell him what to do next. Ye Lu knew what to do himself. He just reached into the wooden box and rubbed it quickly. The scaly powder mud had no shape at first, but soon it took shape and was pinched into a small cone, resembling an animal horn.
Ye Lu had obviously never done these dainty jobs, but they were indeed recorded in the inherited memory, and he was able to do them very well.
The scale powder and soil in the wooden box seemed to be well calculated, just enough for two incense sticks.
"Well done." Guimen Youzi looked at the two incense sticks in the wooden box. They had clearly just been pinched, but there was not a trace of moisture on the two incense sticks. Everything looked natural. After he finished reading it, his tone was filled with appreciation.
Lord Chongshan is indeed the lord he favors, and he is very smart in doing things.
"These two incense sticks are considered top-grade as far as I can remember." Guimen Youzi looked at the animal horns in the wooden box that were as green as jade and was very pleased. One could estimate its fragrance just by looking at the material. The more transparent the better.
After reading it, I felt a little regretful.
"I guess it's because the level of the little snakes is too low, they are only at the Qingyou level, which leads to the green color of the incense. If they are at the Xueyuan level, the incense should be blood threads coming out of the horns. According to your craftsmanship, the quality will definitely be better." Guimen Youzi said helplessly. This was the first time he produced Guishi, and he also wanted to leave a deep impression on the lord.
It’s a pity that the little snakes are still too weak.
Ye Lu, on the other hand, did not feel as regretful as Guimen Youzi.
He was completely shocked by the effect of this strange food.
That's right, because these incenses were made by Ye Lu himself, he already knew the specific effects of these strange food incenses and frowned with an incredible expression.
If someone knew that Ye Lu's Chongshan Vines were here, he would definitely be the first to express the complex emotions that Ye Lu wanted to express.
No, how could God let you survive?
The Guimen Youzi thought the Qingyou-level snake skin was of too low a grade. After hearing this, Ye Lu was afraid that these snake people would not survive the Xueyuan level.
"........" Ye Lu forced himself to calm down and reluctantly said, "Actually, Qingyou level is also pretty good."
"Huh?" Guimen Youzi was confused.
Ye Lu rarely had a conscience and said, "Sometimes there is no need to go against the will of heaven."
In his heart, Ye Lu was madly thanking Qingsong, Chongshan vines, Heihu vines, his Taishan lineage's luck, and the good temper of this heaven for not wiping out the Guimen oilmen and the Guishe people. If it were a stricter heaven, this group of guys would have been killed along with the trees and snakes.
Ye Lu even knew the uses of these two incense sticks.
No wonder Ah Xi the bird has been quiet since returning to the Chongshan Mountains. Ye Lu and the ghost scholar asked him what he was doing and why he was so well behaved. The boy himself was also confused and just said that his instinct told him not to move and to be quiet.
Ye Lu was very confused when he heard it, and thought that the opportunity for A Xi Big Bird was in Huang Zhongli.
Now it seems that this opportunity may lie in the animal incense in my hand.
Why is Ye Lu so sure?
Because the function of the strange snake incense is very simple, there is only one, that is - ask the sky?.
