Miaojiang. Deep in the forest.
"Master, it's been a few days, why hasn't there been any movement?" Xiao Zhao, who was carrying a green bamboo basket, asked.
"Didn't your grandmaster say that at most half a month, at least a few days. It's only been a few days." Jinchan said next to her.
The master and disciple talked as they came to the intersection of two roads.
"Give me the bamboo basket." Jinchan said.
Xiao Zhao took the bamboo basket from her back and handed it to Jinchan. Jinchan took out a small green bamboo tube that was more than three inches long and two inches thick. Then she opened the stopper and poured out seven or eight small colorful pills in her hand.
"Put the bamboo tube away." Jinchan said as she handed the bamboo tube to Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao took a look at the bamboo tube and found that it was full of pills similar to the ones in Jinchan's hand. These pills were different in size and color.
"Master," Xiao Zhao asked, "What are these things?" Xiao Zhao put the stopper on the bamboo tube and asked Jinchan.
"Gu worms." Jinchan said as she stomped a small hole in the ground with her foot.
"Gu worms?" Xiao Zhao looked at the pills in her hand and asked curiously, "This is a gu worm? But it looks like a pill to me. "
"These are all refined from the eggs of gu worms. They will mature in less than an hour after they are released. After four hours, they will reproduce." Jinchan said as she pinched a black pill from her palm and threw it directly into the small hole under her feet. The pill was strange. As soon as it entered the soil, it began to decompose instantly and then quickly seeped into the soil. Jinchan then kicked the soil with her foot and buried the small hole.
"Gu worm eggs?" Xiao Zhao asked in confusion, "Why are the colors all different?"
"Silly disciple," Jinchan said with a smile, "Insects are different, so the eggs they lay will naturally be different. Look, "Jinchan pointed to the red egg in her hand and said," This red one is the egg of the Fire Snake, which needs to be placed in dry sand. This black and yellow one is the egg of the Poisonous Bee, which needs to be placed in a place where there are bees. This cyan one is the egg of the Poisonous Scorpion, which needs to be placed in a damp grassland. And this green one is the Caterpillar Gu, the blue one is the Dish Gu, the purple one is the Bat Gu, and the one I just released is the Ant Gu. "
"So many?" Xiao Zhao felt incredulous after hearing Jinchan's words.
"What is this?" Jinchan said, "There are thousands of different kinds of birds, beasts, fishes, and insects in Miaojiang. You, learn well in the future," Jinchan said as she handed the remaining eggs to Xiao Zhao, "You release the Gu, I will watch."
"Okay," Xiao Zhao said as she took the eggs from Jinchan's hand and began to release the Gu according to the method Jinchan taught her. The master taught patiently while the disciple learned seriously. In addition, Xiao Zhao was very smart and mastered the method of releasing most of the Gu worms in less than a day. This made Jinchan feel very satisfied. This disciple's aptitude was really outstanding. If she was taught carefully, she would definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
After the master and disciple released the Gu worms in all the important paths in this area, it was already evening. Because this place was already very far from Li Hua Palace, and because Jinchan still had to release the Bat Gu, Rat Gu, and other nocturnal Gu worms at night, the two did not go to the nearby inn to rest. Instead, they decided to spend the night in the dense forest. The two found a flat open space. There was a thick tree in the open space. After the two cleaned it briefly, they covered it with hay and used it as a bed. Xiao Zhao also picked up some dry firewood nearby. The night was cold and humid. Lighting a fire could not only warm them up, but also prevent them from getting wet. It could also drive away some poisonous insects and fierce beasts. Xiao Zhao was diligent and capable. In a short while, she picked up a large pile of firewood and also a few fruits.
"Master, I picked a few fruits, please try them," Xiao Zhao put down the large pile of firewood and took out a few fruits from her bosom and handed them to Jinchan. Jinchan smiled and reached out to take the fruits. The more she looked at this disciple, the more she liked her. She was talented and intelligent. Putting aside Bufan for now, this girl was kind-hearted, diligent, nimble, and filial to her master. Such a disciple was not easy to find even with a lantern in hand.
"Don't busy yourself, sit down and rest," Jinchan said to Xiao Zhao.
"Master, you rest and eat the fruits, I am not tired." Xiao Zhao said as she walked to the firewood pile. She used her hands to break the thick branches of the firewood, "I will rest after I start the fire. It is very humid here, master, don't catch a cold."
Jinchan smiled. This child reminded her of herself when she was young. Back then, she also served her master Tian Canzi like this. Now that she had also become a master, she also had a disciple who took care of her attentively.
"Master," After Xiao Zhao set up a large pile of firewood, she directly came in front of Jinchan. She extended her hand and looked at Jinchan with a smile.
"What are you doing?" Jinchan was a little puzzled.
"A fire starter," Xiao Zhao said with a smile, "Without a fire starter, how can I start a fire?"
"Silly disciple," Jinchan said with a smile, "Without a fire starter, you can't start a fire."
After Xiao Zhao heard this, she was at a loss. She didn't know how to start a fire besides a fire starter.
"Come, master will teach you a simple way to start a fire." Jinchan looked at Xiao Zhao who was at a loss and said with a smile, "Go and get the fiery stone that your Martial Uncle Huo Yan gave you."
"Fiery stone? Oh, "Xiao Zhao said as she took out the fiery stone from her arms. This fiery stone was the size of a pigeon's egg. Except for the fiery red color, it looked no different from other ordinary stones. It was unremarkable. Xiao Zhao never understood what the use of this thing was.
After taking out the fiery stone, Xiao Zhao directly handed it to Jinchan.
"Look carefully." Jinchan held the fiery stone in the palm of her hand and said to Xiao Zhao with a smile, "Today, master will show you a magic trick." With that said, she used the hand holding the fiery stone to point at the pile of firewood a few feet away from her.
"Bang!" The pile of firewood immediately burst into smoke, and in an instant, it was burning.
"Wow!" After seeing this, Xiao Zhao suddenly felt that it was incredible. Her mouth was wide open, "This … is this the power of the fiery stone?"
Jinchan nodded with a smile.
"Master, give me the fiery stone," Xiao Zhao rubbed her hands and said excitedly to Jinchan, "Let me try."
Jinchan stretched out her hand, and Xiao Zhao immediately picked up the fiery stone and held it in the palm of her hand. She didn't expect such a small and inconspicuous stone to be so powerful.
After Xiao Zhao grasped the Blazing Fire Stone, she imitated Golden Silkworm and pointed her finger at a thick piece of firewood on the ground.
"Bang!" The firewood instantly burst into flames.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! "Xiao Zhao jumped up excitedly," I did it too! "
Looking at Xiao Zhao jumping up and down like a child, Jinchan also laughed, "This fiery stone may seem inconspicuous, but its power is not small. Just now you only used a finger, if you clenched your fist, the power will increase by dozens of times. If you use your qi to stimulate it, the power will be even more extraordinary. Your Martial Uncles are really bleeding this time. None of the things they gave you weren't supreme treasures. "
"Master, wait a moment," After listening to Jinchan's words, Xiao Zhao immediately took out all the things from her arms. The withered twig-like Mother Wood that Shishu Mu Sen had given her, the colorful Water Repelling Pearl that Shishu Shui Ling had given her, and the small bag of yellow sand that Shishu Tu Kun had given her.
"Master," After Xiao Zhao took out these things, she directly placed them in front of Jinchan, and then excitedly said to Jinchan, "What are the uses of these treasures, please teach me!"
"Hahaha …" Jinchan laughed, "You little girl, you weren't even this happy when you received the gifts from your Shishu. Why, are you anxious to know the power of these treasures now?"
"Aiya, Master, don't keep me in suspense," Xiao Zhao shook Jinchan's arm and began to act coquettishly, "Just teach me, when the time comes, I can also bully Brother Ye and give you face, right? I'll also let him know that our Li Hua Palace is not to be trifled with. " At the thought of being able to bully Ye Fan, Xiao Zhao felt particularly proud in her heart. She even couldn't wait to see Ye Fan's embarrassed expression.
"Okay, okay, okay," Jinchan was swayed back and forth by Xiao Zhao, so she could only agree, "I'll teach you, I'll teach you, okay? If I don't teach you, this old woman will be shaken apart by you, little girl."
"Master, you're not an old woman," Xiao Zhao said, "Master is a great beauty, captivating the fish and birds, hiding the moon and shaming the flowers. Even if Chang 'e comes down from the heavens, she will be ashamed." Xiao Zhao's mouth was sweet, and words of praise came out of her mouth.
"Flatterer," Jinchan said with a smile as she tapped Xiao Zhao's head with her hand.
"That's how it is!" Xiao Zhao said with a smile.
"First, I'll let you see the Mother Wood that your Shishu Mu Sen gave you," Jinchan said as she picked up the withered branch in front of her, "This Mother Wood, as its name suggests, is the mother of all trees. Its vitality is extremely strong, come and look," Jinchan said as she stood up and stabbed the withered branch in her hand into the ground three zhang away.
