Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 292: The World of Herdsmen

Gaoyang Lane is located on the easternmost side of Yanling Mountain, overlooking the Qiantang River.

A middle-aged man with unsteady steps and pale face hurriedly walked to the door of a shop with a plaque that read "Mu Tianxia".

Looking up at the plaque on the door, he carefully rubbed the icy white jade [Ginseng Seed] in his palm, muttering to himself: "I've heard that there is a strange and erratic wild cook in Fuchun Market. He likes to herd sheep and cattle and walk around the streets. I wonder if this Taoist Ge will ask for a lot of money today and make a fortune from me."

Smelling the faint fishy smell in the air, Zhao Ji couldn't help feeling a little nervous. After purchasing the [Ginseng Seeds], he didn't have much money left. If the price offered by Ge Laodao was far beyond his budget, he would have no choice but to go to Fuchun Money House to borrow a sum of money at a high interest rate.

But when he thought about the original debt left behind when he broke through the [Divine Transformation] realm (the peak of the Ten Cities), as well as the hidden injuries left over from years of wandering in the martial arts world.

He felt around his waist and made sure that the guys who had eaten were still there, then he walked into the cattle and horse market with his head held high.

It doesn’t matter if you really can’t afford it, just consider it as a place to check out the place.

【Stealing Fragrant Rat】Zhao Ji was once a police officer working in the Imperial City Department, and was considered half a member of the palace. Because his four-pillar horoscope had a somewhat unusual 【Six Yi Rat Noble】 pattern, he was admitted to the palace early on, and practiced hiding his tracks and secretly observing the six roads.

Under the meticulous training of the secret service agency, the Imperial City Division, Zhao Ji's martial arts skills are beyond description, and he has two unique skills: unparalleled body movements, following like a shadow; and onomatopoeia and disguise, stealing jade and fragrance.

The nickname "Stealing Incense Rat" not only alludes to his fate and character, but also describes his superb physical and stealing skills, as if stealing oil, candles, jade and incense is easy for him.

In his early years, Zhao Ji was jealous of Shangguan for his love, and in a rage, he took advantage of his unstable foundation to break through the [Divine Transformation] and raped Shangguan's sister. He completely threw himself into the bandit group and became a flower thief that everyone hated.

It was precisely because of his lustful nature, which constantly depleted his energy, that he eventually turned into this consumptive patient with insufficient energy and blood.

Qin Huai saw clearly from a quick glance that Zhao Ji walked into the shop. After thinking for a moment, he followed him.

"Master Ge? Are you here?"

After entering the door, Zhao Ji found that there was no one in the shop. Just as he was about to go to the backyard along the porch to take a look, he saw a sloppy old Taoist priest shaking his head and holding half a leg of lamb, lifting the curtain and emerging from the room.

"You look so weak, are you thinking of catching a fat sheep from me to replenish your body?"

Looking at the old Taoist Ge with a mouth full of greasy food, Zhao Ji waved his hand awkwardly: "Master Taoist, you are joking. I came here to find some people with special fates, and I have other uses for them."

"Oh, isn't this still buying sheep? It's all the same."

Taoist Ge laughed strangely, and looked at Zhao Ji, who looked strong on the outside but weak on the inside, with his cloudy eyes. He smacked his lips and said, "Tell me, what kind of fate do you want? I'll see if I can match it for you."

"【Water and wood generate each other】, 【The God of Food reveals his talent】, 【The seal protects the body】."

Zhao Ji already had a plan in mind, and when he heard Ge Laodao asking him, he immediately recited a series of horoscopes that could match the [Liu Yi Rat Noble] type as if he were reading out the names of dishes.

"That's all? You're missing a [Sixth B Mouse Noble], right?"

Seeing that Master Ge had exposed his little thoughts, Zhao Ji's face looked a little ugly, but he still bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Ge."

"What about you? My friend came to my [Mu Tian Xia] in secret, you didn't come just to take a look, did you?"

Taoist Ge glanced at Qin Huai, unsure of his true strength.

"Everyone says that Master Ge of [Mu Tian Xia] has extraordinary abilities, but I don't know if you have these six beasts with extraordinary abilities: [Blue Dragon Hiding Form], [Vermillion Bird Riding the Wind], [Gou Chen Dewei], [Teng Snake Riding the Phoenix], [White Tiger Holding Power], and [Black Tortoise in Power]?"

Qin Huai's voice was neither salty nor bland, but the meaning of his words made it clear that he wanted to embarrass Ye Maoshan.

The six beasts with unique personalities are hard to find in the world. Apart from Cao Jianbing who commands the White Tiger Guards and may be the White Tiger Holding Power, Qin Huai feels that it is unlikely that another person with destiny will appear in Yangzhou.

"Hehe, Liushou doesn't have it,"

Bang!
A loud explosion was heard from the distant Dharma Assembly, and could be heard even in [Mu Tian Xia] a few miles away. Just as Ge Laodao was about to show off to Qin Huai, he was interrupted by this sudden change, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

"My goodness, at this juncture, there are still people who dare to cause trouble at the Dharma Assembly? Aren't you afraid of being skinned alive by the henchmen?"

[The Rat Who Steals Fragrance] Zhao Ji muttered quietly, seeming to be very afraid of the minions from Fuchunji.

Qin Huai knew that it was the thunder and fire talisman he threw down when he left that was triggered, but he didn't care and continued to look at Master Ge silently.

"Forget it. There is no point in talking to you any more. Just follow me and see the lamb in person first."

Although Taoist Ge wanted to go and see what was going on, he had guests at the moment, so he had to put other thoughts aside for the time being.

Just as he was leading the way and leading the two to the stable and animal pen in the backyard, the black ripples in Qin Huai's eyes also fed back the news to the two.

Note: In the early years, I got the fragment of the dark cuisine "Five Poisonous Creatures" by chance. Later, with the help of the evil method of creating animals recorded in it, I gradually embarked on a path of no return.

"Fuck, how come there is really dark cuisine."

Qin Huai cursed inwardly, his sharp eyes moving back and forth behind Ge Laodao.

Taoist Ge was only five steps ahead. As long as he wanted, he could instantly stab his lust into the heart of Ye Maoshan and kill him with one blow.

Qin Huai grasped the handle of the wakizashi sword wrapped in shark skin at his waist, and words suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

[You have triggered a special Yama event: Save the lost lamb! ]

The requirements of this Yanfu incident are as follows: Save the young children in Fuchunji who have been harmed for various reasons.

Judgment criteria: Number of children rescued and their related status.

Completing this Yamafu event will receive a special reward, including but not limited to the recipes and some raw materials for [Ordinary], [Court Banquet], [True Taste], [Dao Offering], and [Heavenly Feast].

"Cast a long line to catch a big fish?"

Qin Huai slowly loosened his grip on the knife handle, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Here we are. You can pick the lambs yourself. If you don't have good eyesight, you can offer me 100 taels of silver and I will help you." "Take a look."

Qin Huai casually threw out two silver ingots of fifty taels each and stared at Ge Laodao with interest, wanting to see what other tricks he could come up with.

"He didn't show up, but he was so generous. Could this guest be a ruthless bandit who has many enemies and is wanted by the government?"

Qin Huai remained silent, leaving only the black robe fluttering in the sad wind and rain.

Taoist Ge felt that he was asking for trouble. He snorted coldly and raised his hand. The remaining star power in the lambs' bodies was extracted along with the three treasures of spirit, blood and energy, and transformed into a four-pillar destiny plate in mid-air.

[Five Poisonous Things Commonly Heard, Part Three: Revealing the Stars and Revealing the Fate]

Category: Codex

Quality: Rare

The Four Pillars of Destiny, Ziwei Dou Shu, fortune and luck of others can be revealed without the need for their birth date. The practitioner can also make various plans in advance based on the visions.

Note: In some places where Feng Shui magic is produced, the Yambu fruit can play an extraordinary role.

"It can be said that it has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to [A Glimpse of the Beauty], but it is really a waste of talent to have this code in the hands of Ye Maoshan who lives in a ghost market."

Qin Huai turned his gaze to the crying lamb in the shed, and his fingers unconsciously clenched into fists.

[Lamb Boy]: A child under ten years old who has been harmed by the evil animal-making method. His body structure is no different from that of a lamb, except for his mind and soul. If he is not treated in time, he will really turn into a lamb over time.

Note: To crack it, you need to drink enough rootless water, and then use superb knife skills to peel off the outer sheepskin at once.

"Although I don't have the Six Beasts' special qualities in my [Shepherd the World], I do have the one-in-a-million [Tiger Lying on a Desolate Hill] quality. I am kind-hearted and won't ask for much from you. I only need five thousand taels of gold, and you can take this kid away. Whether you raise him as a general or adopt him as your son, it's the best plan."

Looking at Ge Laodao boasting about himself, Qin Huai nodded and reached for his waist, as if to take off his purse.

"Master Dao has such great magical powers, I wonder if he can tell fortunes?"

"I know a little bit. What? The customer wants me to tell your fortune?"

There was silence under the black robe for a long time before Qin Huai's hoarse voice was heard.

"Since Master Ge claims to be a Taoist, I have a question I would like to ask you."

"Yes, but it will cost extra."

Taoist Ge finished eating the lamb leg in his hand and looked at Qin Huai with raised eyes.

"How many eyes does the Horse King have?"

"Three, what's wrong?"

"So you know!"

Qin Huai laughed in anger. Before he finished his words, a scarlet blood light like a nimble dragon or snake shot out from his black robe and pierced through Ge Laodao's heart in an instant.

Blood oozed from the corners of Ge Laodao's mouth, and the words he uttered were no longer coherent: "Huh"

Bang!
Looking at the golden-red fist rapidly enlarging in front of his eyes, Ge Laodao suddenly smiled strangely, and his skinny and dark figure suddenly disappeared, replaced by a piece of pure white sheepskin without a single speck of hair.

"The golden cicada escapes from its shell?"

Qin Huai's heart was not shaken at all. He grasped the ribs with an iron fist. Countless sword lights burst out, and the black and white sheepskin turned into debris in an instant. Along with it, the fence of the animal pen behind also turned into debris.

Hululu~
Before Qin Huai could look around and find the hiding Taoist Ge, the green-skinned donkey, which was more than a meter tall and had been seen before, crashed into the earth wall in time and rushed towards Qin Huai fearlessly.

[Pan Er]: A giant beast that was carefully cultivated by Taoist Ge using many [Tingyan] and [Zhenwei]. It has a history of 1,200 years and has thick skin and flesh, making it very resistant to blows.

Features: Restore the body (the fifth power of [Magic Power: Regeneration of Broken Limbs])

"roll!"

Qin Huai's tongue burst into spring thunder, and he punched the side of the big blue donkey's neck, knocking it away.

When Ge Laodao reappeared, his pupils shrank. He ignored the big blue donkey whose neck was bent at a strange angle and hurriedly took out a few centipedes fried in medicinal oil from his bag. He stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them for a while. The injury on his left chest recovered quickly.

[Poisonous Oil Centipede Skewers]: A highly toxic yet very nutritious thing that can save the seriously injured from death.

"Mr. Zhao, help me kill this thief. I will reward you handsomely later!"

Zhao Ji, who had gone up to the roof to watch at some point, carefully sensed the aura around Qin Huai. Although he was surprised that there was no fluctuation of star power around him, he also did not sense the special charm of the [Heavenly] realm.

"I can fight, but if I get close to it, it will be bad."

Before he could think too much, Qin Huai in the backyard had already bent his knees and rushed in front of Ge Laodao again.

Ah~ah~ah!
The high-pitched bray of a donkey sounded in his ears, and Qin Huai felt as if a big bell was being hit by a hammer in his mind, and his body suddenly slowed down by half a second.

good chance!
Ge Laodao rolled over to avoid the punch, and at the same time reached his dry hand into his bag and threw countless spider balls pickled in the Five Poisons Wine into the air.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
A group of fat, strong, and ferocious wild dogs with bared teeth quickly rushed out from behind the collapsed low wall.

This group of wild dogs didn't look majestic at all, but the undisguised viciousness in their bloodshot eyes was enough to scare people to death.

Dozens of wild dogs with green eyes jumped up, and each one ate one or even several spider venom balls.

[Pickled Spiders]: After taking it, the whole body will become extremely strong and the skin and flesh will be as tough as old wood. This effect will last for one hour and consume half of the life span of the user.

In an instant, it seemed as if countless little mice began to run around in their bodies, stretching their bones, muscles, and membranes, causing each wild dog's body to grow three times larger and look no different from a calf.

Qin Huai looked at the group of wild dogs that turned into ferocious beasts in a few breaths, and drew out the [Dragon Scale Dagger] from his hip. The two short knives, one gold and one red, danced like swimming dragons.

Knives flashed and blood splattered. No matter how scary these wild dogs strengthened by medicine and food looked, they were still just wild dogs after all. Apart from delaying Qin Huai's steps a little, they could not do more.

Looking at the wild dogs that were chopped in half by Qin Huai's sword, Ge Laodao, with a sad face, sighed heavily and took out a very evil black lotus from his bag.

【Five Poison Heart-Eating Lotus】

Category: Consumables
Quality: Legend

The Dragon Chef of the dark cuisine world [Black Lotus Master] uses Grade B poisons from the Five Flavors Realm of the Mountain and Sea Realm as raw materials to prepare this dish. Three by three are served, and this is one of them.

After swallowing, it can replace the host's vital organs, increase the host's lifespan by nine years, and at the same time strengthen the host's bones, blood and flesh, providing unlimited star power consumption within six hours.

Note: If the user does not have the corresponding code and extremely high toxin resistance, there is a high possibility of intestinal perforation and death if he swallows it rashly.

"It's too late to think about fighting now!"

Golden-red light poured out from the gap in the black robe, and Qin Huai's fist was like a whip, hitting Ge Laodao's temple, and a white air wave burst out as if it were real.
