Rune Master

"For a stone?" Jing Chen looked down at the Luna Stone, which was the size of a fingernail in his palm, and asked in confusion, "The energy in it is incompatible with the power of the talisman, so we can't use it?"

"That being said." An Liu said, "Don't you feel that the World Stone is getting hot?"

Ke Shu immediately looked at Jing Chen, the meaning is self-evident.

"What to do." Jing Chen quickly stepped back to Ling Yi's side, "I know you've been coveting it for a long time, but I won't hand it over anyway."

But An Liu said again, "Except for the core cornerstone of the small world, in fact, the secret treasures that come from the same source can also make the world stone hot."

"Huh?" Jing Chen turned to Ling Yi to inquire.

The Soul Jade was with him when he and Ke Shu got the Moon God Stone, so the World Stone was always hot, and they couldn't feel anything unusual.

"Indeed." Ling Yi affirmed, "After getting the God Stone, the World Stone will react."

It's just that the temperature is not high, not as obvious as when Jingchen brought the soul jade.

"Since it's a secret treasure, they can't use it. Could it be that they want to get it back in exchange for contribution value?" Jing Chen said, "Then there's no need to slaughter the natives."

An Liu was silent for a moment, "Don't you know that this kind of secret treasure is the core material for refining the celestial talisman weapon, so if anyone finds it, he will bring it back and hand it over to the sect, and it is not specifically stated in the mission."

"The material of the talisman vessel?!" Jing Chen was surprised, "Just these few stones?"

God, he also used up half of the Luna Stone on that shabby aircraft before, they were all celestial talisman weapons.

Not understanding why Jingchen suddenly became depressed, An Liu patiently explained, "Of course, other materials are needed, but without the core materials, it will not work."

Jing Chen couldn't help but feel even more depressed, his chin drooped on Ling Yi's shoulder, his expression was sullen.

Ke Shu laughed loudly, "Seeing how stingy you are, my heart aches."

Jing Chen, "..." Careless in making friends!

Outside the tent, the wind blew across the grass, and the branches and leaves rustled, which at first glance was no different from usual.

The faces of the four people in the tent changed in vain.

The figures of Ke Shu and An Liu disappeared in an instant, and then, there was the piercing sound of fine weapons cutting through the air.

Jing Chen and Ling Yi looked at each other, the side curtain was opened, and Ke Shu walked in first.

He was holding a dead rabbit in his hand, and the eyes were gouged out and replaced with wooden beads, and on the wooden beads, a circle of tiny runes was engraved at the position of the pupils.

"Did someone catch it?" Jing Chen looked carefully at the rabbit's eyes, "Puppet?"

Throwing the dead thing aside, Ke Shu said regretfully, "The other party has noticed something and cut off contact in time, but judging from the means, there is no doubt that they came from the same batch."

After half a month in the small world of Lanye, I have some understanding of the cultivation methods inside. Although the natives know a little bit of magic, they can't do it with such a small texture on the wooden eyeballs.

"Hmm." Jing Chen knelt down, took out a dagger and cut open the rabbit, and then said, "It's a peeping formation commonly used in the Earth Talisman Realm."

Swiping the tip of the knife across the soft fur, one can see that the inside of the rabbit's body has been completely hollowed out, with no internal organs, and a shuttle-shaped log engraved with a puppet array is wrapped in the outer skin.

"Do you think the other party heard our conversation?" Ling Yi pondered for a moment and asked.

"Probably not." Ke Shu thought for a while, "If it's a special trip, the means are too crude."

"I think the other party may just want to find out the depth of the tribe a little bit, but I didn't expect us to be here." He was caught straight.

"Be careful next time." Jing Chen clapped his hands and stood up, "I'm afraid many people have already made some moves."

The struggle among monks has never been settled by simply peeping.

Early the next morning, when the sky was just getting dark, Lan Yuefeng came to Jing Chen to discuss the preparations.

Yesterday, their entire tribe was huddled in a few temporary animal skin tents, not to mention the small place, and had to endure all kinds of unpleasant smells.

Especially the guys from the hunting team like Lan Yueshan, who had a hard night's sleep.

"Now we are short of animal skins." Lanyue Feng said, "The ones that were dismantled from the tribe were discarded due to the weight of the aircraft."

"Now everyone only has a small amount of light and strong ones in their hands. It's okay to use them to keep out the cold, but it's not enough to build tents."

Yes, because of the presence of aircraft along the way, they haven't found any difficulty in migrating.

But when it came to the wasteland in the northwest, various problems emerged.

The first is the problem of food and housing for a group of people. Although the tribe's resident is adjacent to the Snake God tribe, they can't always rely on their allies for food.

"I discussed with the head of the Snake God Tribe, and we will go hunting with them today. The animal skins we catch will be sold to us at the price of two pieces per bag of grain." Lan Yuefeng bowed, "The affairs of the tribe will be temporarily handed over to The sage took care of it."

Jingchen has no objection to this. As the patriarch of the Lijiahe tribe, Lan Yuefeng always considers the development of the tribe when making decisions.

just.

Jing Chen handed him the tribe construction plan he drew last night, "Have you ever thought about building a house with wood?"

Lan Yuefeng walked away in a daze holding the blueprint, and probably went to discuss with the old patriarch again.

"I said, are you interfering in the progress of the small world?" Ke Shu who didn't know when was leaning against the door of the tent seemed to be smiling.

Jingchen said innocently, "Did you hear what I said? It was nothing more than an idea, and they were the ones who did it."

Ke Shu scoffed at this statement, "You are right."

"To be honest." Jing Chen spread his hands, "Actually, I would like to teach him how to burn bricks..." Before he finished speaking, his body trembled, and his expression was inexplicable.

"What's wrong?" Ke Shu stood up straight in a jerk.

Jingchen took out the hot soul jade from his bosom, and found that some blue-white powder had precipitated on the surface.

"Is this stone spirit playing tricks again?" Ke Shu approached.

"Well." Jing Chen smiled wryly, "Before building the house, I'm afraid we have to prepare for the New God Festival."

Carrying the Jade of Life, even though it is worth a billion spirit rune stones, is still a very troublesome thing.

Just the thought that pops up from time to time is enough to make people toss for a while.

But Jingchen couldn't ignore it, after all, it represented the will of Lanye's small world.

Lan Yuefeng was about to find someone to start felling the trees, but he was called back to the tent so soon, "What else can the sage order?"

Behind him, the old patriarch who had made an appointment to go hunting and gathering together followed in, "Why don't you want animal skins anymore, the price is negotiable... Hey, where is Lord Snake God?" The second half of the sentence was obviously asking Jing Chen.

"Someone attacked the tribe at night last night, and he went out to investigate."

"What!" The old patriarch rushed out as soon as he slapped his thigh, "It must be that the people from the Inugami tribe have returned, I'll go and have a look."

The old patriarch left in a hurry, walking quite neatly on crutches.

"How are those clansmen suffering from bluestone disease now?" Jing Chen walked to the table, and there was a small paper bag on it, which contained the white powder scraped off the surface of the soul jade this morning.

"It's not too bad." Mentioning this, Lan Yuefeng felt heavy in his heart, "But if we don't get timely medical treatment, it may take a few days."

"I asked Yuemang Lan Xuelian about it." Said Lan Yuefeng sighed, "I can't blame him."

"You can see it." Jing Chen picked up the paper bag and handed it over, and said with a smile, "I think he must have told you that I still have the thing about the snow lotus with three flowers and three leaves."

His thoughts were seen through, Lan Yuefeng said embarrassedly, "I still have to trouble the sage in the end."

"Take it." As soon as the paper bag was sent forward, Jing Chen reached into his arms and took out the box from the storage ring under cover, "Simmer the snow lotus for two hours, then pour the powder into it for them to drink .”

"This?" Taking it carefully, Lan Yuefeng asked suspiciously, "What is this?" He knew Lan Xuelian in the box, but the white powder...

"Could it be the special medicine brought by the Eastern Continent?" Lan Yuefeng asked excitedly.

Jing Chen, "..." He just likes the brain power of the natives, "Well, if you don't believe me, let them try some of it first."

"If the sage wants to harm us, the Lijiahe tribe will not be where it is today." Lan Yuefeng held the two things tightly in his arms, "Let's cook soup for them."

"Wait a moment." Jing Chen called people to stop, "There is one more thing, about the New God Ceremony."

……

Ling Yi didn't come back until noon, and every family in the tribe started to light a fire to cook, and the fragrance of the food could be smelled from afar.

"How's the situation?" Jing Chen came over.

Ling Yi took off his robe, "It's not ideal." Folding the clothes away, he continued, "I checked with An Liu, and there are no other traces except the puppet rabbit. The peepers are very careful."

"Well." Jing Chen agreed, "I tried yesterday to trace the source based on those eyes, but the other party has cut off contact."

"Nothing." Ling Yi said lightly, "Since the other party knows this place, one day they will appear in front of us."

After exchanging the results of the investigation in the morning, Jing Chen talked about the Soul Jade vibration and the New God Ceremony.

"Leave it to me." Before sitting down, Ling Yi went out again, "I'll talk to the patriarch."

On the other end, Lan Yuemang carefully gave Lan Xueqing the soup made from Lan Xuelian, "Slow down, be careful of getting hot."

There are still more than a dozen people in the tent, all of whom are rescued bluestone disease tribesmen, and a few were abandoned by the tribe, so they followed other tribesmen from the northwest wasteland all the way.

Oh, and the sages of the sacrificial hall who were tied back were packed together and stuffed into this tent.

"Do you feel it?" Lan Yuemang looked more nervous than she was taking the medicine.

Lan Yueqing only took two sips, and couldn't help laughing, "How can it be effective so quickly."

"That's fine." Lan Yuemang said uncomfortably, "You drink, you drink."

"I feel a little hot." The person next to him unbuttoned his shirt, and a large piece of skin inside had been petrified, showing a lustrous blue color.

"The heat means it has an effect." Lan Yue, who was called by Lan Yuefeng to cook the soup, said, "Enough is enough." Holding the spoon, he continued to fill the soup and served it to the rest.

I don't know if it's the medicinal effect or the psychological effect. Everyone just feels that the temperature in the tent seems to be really rising.

"Ah, you've got smoke coming out of your head." The person who just drank a bowl of snow lotus soup looked at the tribe next to him in surprise.

Not only the top of the head, but the skin of the whole body revealed a bright red color as if it had been boiled, and the pores on the surface were dilated, and white air continued to come out.

"Sister." Lan Yuemang held Lan Yueqing's hand anxiously, "It's so hot."

The whole person seemed to be immersed in boiling water, and everyone in the tent who drank the snow lotus soup became a fever body.

"This, this, this." Lan Yuemang turned around anxiously, "I'm going to find the sage."

"Brother, wait." Lan Yueqing subconsciously pulled him back, then realized the heat of her skin, and hurriedly let go, "The sage and the patriarch are discussing the ceremony, don't disturb them."

"And..." Her face was flushed unnaturally, and her whole body was covered in the looming water vapor, which looked very scary, "I feel very comfortable."

Of course, this is not only her feeling, everyone who drank the snow lotus soup felt the same way.

Apart from feeling that the temperature in the tent was a little higher, and the steaming white air filled the air, there seemed to be no other side effects.

Lan Yuemang could only wait patiently, staring at Lan Yueqing for a moment.

"Blue stone, the blue stone has fallen off!" The crystal stone on the face fell off from the skin, like the paint falling off a wall that has been in disrepair.

"You, your hair!" The person next to him pointed at the first person who drank the snow lotus soup and shouted.

"what happened?"

"Just now, your hair seems to have turned black!"
