On the evening of the first day of the Ramson month, Wen Jing changed his clothes and checked the things he would bring for the night patrol. The sound transmission stone, the invisibility talisman, and
the two magical herbs beside the bed were what he had searched for in the mountains during the day, but he didn't know whether to take them with him.
The big turtle squatted on the bed, looking at him motionlessly.
Wen Jing opened the door, and the snow drifted into the room. While putting on the hood, he turned to the big turtle on the bed and said, "You haven't been home for a few days? Did Senior Brother Jun abuse you, so that you always run here, huh? He looks elegant, but does he always bully you behind your back?"
The big turtle naturally didn't say anything, neither nodded nor shook his head.
"...I have never abused it, and I never bully it." The low voice echoed after itself, warm and gentle, and no joy or anger could be heard.
Wen Jing was stunned, and quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Why are you here, Senior Brother Jun?"
... I was caught red-handed, I really can't say bad things about people behind their backs.
The heavy snow fell on the green shirt, it seemed thin, but the man didn't feel cold. Wen Jing looked at him eagerly and said: "It's snowing so heavily, but Senior Brother is not cold, it's really enviable."
"You won't feel cold after you build your foundation."
"Well..." Wen Jing rubbed his hands and put on the hood.
Jun Yanzhi said slowly, "Are you going to patrol tonight?"
"Yes."
"My senior brother told me this morning to ask what you need."
"Nothing else." Wen Jing lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked in confusion, "Senior brother Jun, if I want to find a monster in the Xunyang Mountains, how should I find it?"
"...What monster?"
"A python."
"What do you want to do with it? Want to raise it?"
Wen Jing couldn't help but be tempted, but thinking of the temperament of the giant python, he shook his head with lingering fear: "I'm afraid I can't raise it, the python has a little temper."
Jun Yanzhi's expression did not change, but his lips were pursed into a straight line.
Wen Jing talked to himself: "...It doesn't matter if it has a little temper, it's quite cute, just coax it more. But I can't find it, so I don't know how to coax it."
"What are you coaxing it for?" The voice was cold and indifferent.
"…Repay the favor. It's quite spiritual and saved my life." It seemed like he was repaying a favor, but it wasn't the case if he thought about it carefully. Wen Jing didn't know why.
Jun Yanzhi was silent for a long time, and finally flew up and said, "…Since you're okay, I'll leave first." "
Okay…Goodbye, Fourth Senior Brother."
The dark sky was pitch black, and there was no temperature, not even a trace of moonlight. Wen Jing was familiar with the route, flying slowly in the dark night.
The giant python was hard to find, and it appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and the beast didn't want to see him. Wen Jing felt a little discouraged, thinking that he couldn't force it, and his desire to find it had faded... probably.
As he was walking, a light knocking sound came from not far away.
Wen Jing's heart moved.
He gathered a ball of spiritual energy in his hand, and with the help of the blue light, he looked carefully. He saw a big rock about ten steps away, and the slight knocking sound came from behind the big rock.
Could it be the giant python?
Wen Jing walked over lightly, and when he looked closely, he saw nothing behind the rock.
Wen Jing's heart slowed down like a jog. If it wasn't a giant python, then who else could it be?
After searching carefully for a while, he saw a small piece of green on the snow, gently knocking against the rock.
...It turned out to be a snow mountain green ginseng, moving around in a half-asleep state...Maybe it thought it was still running in the snow?
Wen Jing put away the spiritual energy in his hand, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
He slowly flew up and continued his night patrol.
The wind mixed with snowflakes blew on my face, like a knife cutting. I was alone, walking aimlessly in the dark.
It was so cold, I really wanted to go back to my room and take a nap... At least there was a big turtle at home, although it was not my turtle...
As I walked, I came to the shadow of the mountain where I saw the giant python for the first time.
From a distance, I heard soft knocking and rustling sounds.
... Is it the Snow Mountain Green Ginseng again?
Wen Jing gathered a ball of spiritual energy in his hands. This time, before it was fully lit, he could see the giant python's huge body coiled up and trembling on the snow.
Wen Jing was slightly stunned.
The giant python raised its head and looked at him. It seemed to have expected it. It did not chase him away or say hello. It still lowered its head and buried it, shivering.
Wen Jing squatted down and touched its snake skin. He gathered a ball of spiritual energy in his hands, and stroked it back and forth, forcing the spiritual energy into the snake's body.
The giant python suddenly raised its head, and a light blue spiritual light emanated from its body. Its cold eyes swept across Wen Jing's face, and it showed its snake teeth in some anger, making a "hissing" sound.
Wen Jing quickly withdrew his hand, his head was hot, and he took out two handfuls of spiritual herbs from his storage bag.
"You don't like people touching you, I understand. These two spiritual herbs are what I found in the mountains. They are not high-grade and contain little spiritual energy. You can use them together. I will find you new ones tomorrow."
The giant python shrank its body and ignored him .
Wen Jing put the spiritual herbs next to it: "You saved me last time, thank you. You continue... I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he collected the spiritual energy in his hand, and ran away happily.
Looking back, the giant python seemed to raise its head anxiously.
·
Late at night the next day, the two handfuls of spiritual herbs left last night were still lying in front of the boulder. Wen Jing looked down, feeling a little discouraged.
The giant python curled up its body and ignored him.
Wen Jing touched the python's skin: "Why are you so awkward? It's just two handfuls of spiritual herbs, and you won't take them... Look what I brought you..."
As he spoke, he took out a few red fruits from the storage bag.
"Smell what this is? Oh, it smells so good..." Wen Jing held a fruit and pretended to bite it.
The fruit in his hand is called red tomato fruit.
It is said that the red tomato fruit is fragrant and juicy, and is the favorite of monsters. Wen Jing asked Gui Xinbi for a few, hoping to subdue this unruly giant python.
The snake slowly raised its head, stared at Wen Jing and spit out its tongue.
Wen Jing peeled the fruit skin, and the aroma spread out, making people's appetites grow. Wen Jing waved the fruit in front of the giant python and tempted him, "If you don't eat it, I will, huh?"
As he said that, he took a big bite and was stunned. The juice was sour and astringent, and it was difficult to swallow. He almost vomited it all out.
Wen Jing felt bitter.
Gui Xinbi repeatedly said that this red fruit was something that monsters liked... So people couldn't eat it? It was really harmful...
His face was half green and half white, but he didn't dare to spit it out. He swallowed the flesh and said with a grin, "It's delicious... It's really delicious. If you don't eat it, I will eat it all..."
He talked for a long time, but he refused to take a second bite.
The giant python stared at him coldly.
Slowly, the head fell slowly on the body again, shaking in pain.
Wen Jing felt a little sad. He gathered a ball of spiritual energy and put his palm on the snake skin. The spiritual energy in his body quickly dissipated: "I will help you relax. Don't resist..."
The giant python raised its head. Although it was in pain, it was no longer anxious. It slowly pushed Wen Jing's hand away, but rolled up the two spiritual herbs he brought last night and slowly sucked them.
Wen Jing slowly touched the snake skin: "I will find spiritual herbs for you tomorrow..." The
giant
python's attitude was slightly relaxed. Occasionally, it accepted the spiritual herbs from Wen Jing, but still didn't want to get too close. Wen Jing later discovered that the giant python was not in pain every night, but only trembled in the dark night without moonlight.
It was just that the Qingxu Sword Sect patrolled the mountain every night, and the chance of others discovering the giant python was greater, which made people nervous.
In "The Tribulation of All Life", the patrol of the mountain was completely stopped only after Jun Yanzhi exposed Mu Zhiqiu's identity. However, the article did not clearly state when Jun Yanzhi exposed Mu Zhiqiu. I remember it seemed to be the end of winter?
Late at night on the 18th of the 11th month, Wen Jing was drowsy when a mission message suddenly flashed in his mind.
[System prompt: It is related to Jun Yanzhi, classified as "big evil", please act immediately.]
Big evil? Murder? Arson?
Wen Jing was stunned and woke up instantly and changed his clothes. The big turtle on the bed was wrapped in a heavy quilt, leaving only his head sticking out, staring at Wen Jing steadily. Wen Jing touched the big turtle's head, calmed his mind, and rushed out the door without thinking too much.
After clicking "Automatic Route Finding", Wen Jing was a little confused: What happened to Jun Yanzhi? I don't remember mentioning it in the article. Is there a sudden situation?
Following the system's small arrow, I shuttled through the mountains for a long time, and finally came to a valley at the junction of Tianheng Peak and Huishi Peak.
The moonlight was clear that night, the North Pole was embedded in the night sky, and there was a spiritual light in the valley. Following the white spiritual light, Wen Jing finally landed beside a cold body, and took a closer look -
a handsome face, as gentle as the moonlight, but the blue clothes were covered with blood, and he was unconscious, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
Wen Jing was a little panicked.
He held Jun Yanzhi's hand tightly, and his voice was a little trembling: "Brother Jun, are you okay?"
Jun Yanzhi did not answer, and a faint spiritual light emanated from his body, with his eyes closed.
Wen Jing sniffed his breath, which was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
He quickly helped Jun Yanzhi up, hung his arm around his neck, and clenched his teeth. "The Tribulation of All Life" did not mention that Jun Yanzhi was seriously injured in the twilight month. What happened?
He is the male protagonist of this world. What if he died? Just as
he was getting anxious, a purple light suddenly fell from the sky.
Wen Jing looked up and saw a beautiful woman with fluttering clothes and skin as white as snow falling to the ground. Under the cold moonlight, she was extremely charming and incomparable. The girl looked at the two of them and said coldly: "I am Ji Keqing from Wangyue Peak. I am patrolling the Xunyang Sixteen Peaks tonight. I just saw a white aura here. Is this fellow disciple injured?"
Wen Jing blinked his big eyes and looked at her. Suddenly, a bad idea came to his mind.
Ji Keqing actually showed up. This is not right...
Jun Yanzhi was injured while patrolling the mountain. Ji Keqing rescued him in time. Later, the two of them worked together to eliminate Mu Zhiqiu... This is a classic plot in "The Tribulation of All Living Things" and an opportunity for Jun Yanzhi and Ji Keqing to develop their relationship!
Why, two months earlier than in the book? !
Ji Keqing looked at Jun Yanzhi coldly: "Are you two from Huishi Peak?"
Wen Jing nodded hurriedly.
"You send him back to heal his injuries, and I'll go for a patrol." As she spoke, Ji Keqing's clothes fluttered in the air.
"No——!" Wen Jing's voice suddenly became louder, and he said anxiously to the air, "I can't help him! You send him back, I'll go check around!"
The relationship between the male and female protagonists is directly related to the development of the plot later. If they miss each other, Wen Jing doesn't know what the consequences will be.
As he spoke, he pushed the man leaning on him towards Ji Keqing, but suddenly felt the hand holding him tighten.
Wen Jing was pulled by him and turned his head quickly and said, "Brother, are you awake?"
Ji Keqing was originally cold and couldn't stand the things of mother-in-law and mother-in-law. When she saw that Jun Yanzhi was unwilling to let go, she flew high: "If he is awake, he doesn't have to worry about his life. Send him back to rest quickly, I'll go check around."
In a blink of an eye, the purple figure disappeared in the air.
Wen Jing turned his head to look at the man beside him, tears in his eyes: "Brother, you..." Ji Keqing!
Jun Yanzhi rested his head on his neck, silent.
