Chapter 7 Angry Chicken
Miao people are naturally xenophobic. After Li Yang entered the Miao village, a group of Miao people looked at him with a sense of bad intentions and vigilance.
Li Yang didn't care about this. As the saying goes, a skilled person is brave and has a golden toad to protect him, so he is not worried about any danger he will encounter.
"This father-in-law, I came to Nuqing County to buy medicinal materials. I heard that there is a Miao doctor in your village who has made a very good medicine, so I want to come and buy some. Can you please give me some advice on where he lives?"
Seeing a Miao old man leisurely basking in the sun and smoking a big smoke not far away, Li Yang walked up with a kind smile on his face.
"Do you little kid, Mao Zhangqi? Do you know what medicine is sold by Miao Doctor in our village?"
Facing the rolling eyes of the Miao old man, Li Yang was not angry, and he still seemed calm. After all, he had been struggling in society for so many years, and his face was naturally not comparable to that of a young man.
"Uh... I can't help it. My family is poor, so I can only come out to ask for food. I'll ask the old man to do it."
"Hey...it's not easy for anyone these days. The medicine sold by Miao doctors in our village is specially used to treat men's hidden diseases. If you don't know clearly, you dare to buy medicine. His family is in that direction."
The old man knocked on the pipe in his hand, looked at Li Yang who was pretending to be bitter, and felt compassionate. He slowly raised the pipe in his hand and pointed the direction.
Seeing the old man's speechless expression, Li Yang was also a little embarrassed. He didn't even have time to say thank you, so he ran towards the direction pointed out by the old man.
Soon, at the end of the village, a single-door and single-family courtyard appeared in front of you. It was surrounded by a fence outside, and you could vaguely see a typical Miao wooden building inside.
Walking into the yard, an old Miao man was drying herbs in the yard.
"Brother-in-law, I heard you have medicine for sale here."
"How much do you want? Do you use it yourself?"
The old man was dull and would not beat around the bush. When he heard that Li Yang was going to buy medicine, he looked at him, especially at his crotch, and even stared at him for a few times.
"No, I'm not going to buy the medicine you have refined, but to buy medicinal materials." Li Yang moved his body awkwardly, avoiding the old man's eyes and said.
"No sell..." He looked at Li Yang with annoyance, and the old man continued to work hard without looking back.
Li Yang was prepared for this situation. After looking around, he saw a white face hanging on the wall at the door of the old man's house. He said, "My father-in-law is a Baimiao wizard."
"Oh, are you a fellow fellow man?" Looking up at Li Yang who was staring at his own face, the old man put away his indifferent attitude.
Since ancient times, witchcraft has been popular in Miaojiang, and it is divided into white seedlings and black seedlings. White seedlings cure diseases and save people. Black seedlings manipulate poisonous insects and play with plagues. They are not among the same people, but rarely know their own inheritance marks.
"It's just a little research." Li Yang smiled with a modest look on his face, without saying much.
He could see that the witchcraft of the present day had declined, and the old man's inheritance might have been incomplete.
The witchcraft is the most primitive method of practice. It was popular in ancient times. With the decrease of strange beasts in the world, it was gradually replaced by the Qi training men who emerged later.
Later, the path of immortality flourished and gradually evolved into the path of the five immortals. Therefore, although the magic power practiced by the witchcraft was unmatched, it was mainly based on practicing the spirit, and it was different from the path of humans and immortals, and it was dedicated to cultivating qi and blood.
However, this old man Bai Miao had no trace of cultivation in his body. In this way, Li Yang could judge that he had at most practiced some of the superficial methods of Bai Miao.
As for the fact that his cultivation has reached the point of returning to nature and leaving Li Yang with no traces, it is impossible.
No matter which kind of practice it is, it is a way of evolution of the human body. The more a person is, the more perfect the body will gradually become. Although the special habits of some practitioners are not ruled out and some strange shapes are reserved, some details cannot be concealed.
It is even more impossible for people with advanced magic power to hide their cultivation and play in the world. Such plots that exist in novels can be hidden from ordinary people, but they will definitely not be hidden from monks who are both cultivators.
"The purpose of fellow Taoist here is probably not just buying medicinal materials." The moment he looked at Li Yang, the old man's pupils suddenly shrank.
After all, he was just a half-tongued practitioner, and he was still an ordinary person at first. He didn't notice Li Yang's abnormality at the beginning. After this period of practice, Li Yang no longer looked as pale and skinny as he had just traveled through time.
Although the practice is only short, since the Golden Toad was conquered, its cultivation speed has changed every day, and it has gradually revealed some of the characteristics of a practitioner. His lips are red and white, his face is like a jade crown, and his eyes are shining. When he looks carefully, his skin is still emitting an indefinite jade light, his fingers are smooth, not to mention calluses, even the texture clearly visible to normal people is so light that it is almost impossible to see. If it weren't for the coarse linen clothes and the scattered hair covering him, no one would believe that Li Yang was still a skinny little beggar three or four months ago.
This change is magical. This is why the manager of He's family did not recognize Li Yang in the morning. If it weren't for the traces of his original body between his eyebrows and eyes, he would probably not have dared to recognize him at all.
If you are a practitioner who practices the two realms of heaven and earth, your early characteristics will not be so obvious, but Li Yang practices the way of humans and immortals, and is best at changing his physique. It is normal to have such changes.
"Since fellow Taoist asked, I won't beat around the bush. I heard that fellow Taoist raised a rare bird, and I want to exchange it with a witchcraft. I don't know if you can do it." As if you didn't see the abnormality on the old man's face, Li Yang smiled, but his tone revealed a sense of determination to win.
"This..." After figuring out Li Yang's purpose, the old man's face was full of confusion, his expression was gloomy and calm, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"Fellow Taoist, you have to think clearly that the method of practice is the core. No matter how precious this rare bird or beast is, it is just an external object. It will not be of great effect to you. Moreover, with your life span of not having a practice, it may be difficult to cultivate and mature even if you die."
"Oh... I'm just a little reluctant to let it go. Since I got this angrily chicken ten years ago, I have spent almost all my life savings on him, but the results are average. Without the cooperation of my magical secret techniques, no matter how much I pay, I'm afraid it will be a waste of money."
He sighed heavily, and the old man revealed the reason. To put it bluntly, he could no longer support the resources spent on cultivating strange beasts, but he was unwilling to give up, so he kept holding on.
Li Yang also suddenly realized that no wonder in the original work, it was a small gambling fight, and the old man gave the angry chicken to the Partridge Whistle.
It turns out that this angry chicken has become a hot potato for him. He is reluctant to let go and will not let go, but it is really difficult to support the materials needed for his cultivation.
When cultivating strange beasts in heaven and earth, you either use precious medicinal materials to help them grow, or use qi and blood and magic power to nourish them. If you do not receive enough nutritional supplements for a long time, your bloodline will gradually hide, slowly return to ordinary people, and turn into ordinary people. This is the instinct of biological evolution.
After learning about the old man's situation, Li Yang was also amused and took out a handbook that had been prepared from his arms and handed it on.
This is the core internal practice method of the secret medicine and witchcraft of Bai Wu that Li Yang had prepared long ago, in order to prevent leaving Xiangxi in the future and leaving Xiao Liuzi to make a living. Unexpectedly, it will be used here.
There are at least dozens of methods collected by the Li family, most of which are incomplete, but there are many complete ones. This secret medicine technique of Bai Wu is one of them.
With his hands trembling, the old man took the booklet handed over by Li Yang. When he opened it, his face turned red with excitement, like an old child.
"It made fellow Taoist laugh..." After a long time, the old man calmed down and opened a wooden chicken coop next to the yard and said, "Fellow Taoist!"
Li Yang walked in and saw a big rooster that looked like a local dog crouching on the ground, looking a little depressed, and ignored Li Yang and the others who came in.
"I made fellow Taoist laugh. I really don't have much resources to feed it, so I can only feed some Ganoderma lucidum every day..." Seeing the big rooster's listless look, the old man smiled brilliantly.
But Li Yang didn't care at all, but stared at the big rooster intently, walked straight over, and after a while, he cheered: "Okay... What a phoenix-sized angry chicken."
Although this chicken is listless, its eyelids are indeed born above like the legendary ones, like human eyes. Between the eyes, there is a light of wisdom flashing between the eyes opening and closing. The feathers on the body are both colorful, which is the appearance of the five virtues of the phoenix. The toes are thick and have five fingers, which is completely different from ordinary roosters. The cockscomb on the head is bright red, and a kind of light is faintly revealed. As the saying goes, the red sun rises, and the way is bright.
