Lord of Deception

After the transaction, life in the village began to become peaceful. Yu Zi cooked during the day, studied with Lao Yang in the rest of the time, and practiced boxing with Er Han at night. His body became stronger day by day, and his knowledge accumulation also slowed down. Slowly increasing, life is very fulfilling.

To be honest, Yu Ziqing thought to himself that if he had had such energy back then, he would definitely have scored over 700 points in the exam.

A week has passed in peaceful days. Tonight, I did not go to practice boxing. After most people had rested, a small activity started in the cave ancestral hall in the village.

I was supposed to eat the lava yellow rice cake before the transaction, but now I finally have time to taste it.

But unlike what Yu Ziqing thought, there were only about forty people who were qualified to eat the yellow rice cakes that could burn people to death, and Yu Ziqing was the only one among the new villagers.

Erhan changed into clean clothes and solemnly took the yellow rice cake out of the cave where familiar people could be roasted.

The director held the crutches with both hands and straightened his back. Watching Erhan place the yellow rice cake on the altar, he whispered to Yu Zi beside him.

"Many years ago, when there was no village here, a group of mortals in the wilderness who were about to starve to death due to the war caused by the fighting between monks, under the leadership of the first generation leader, found this place and discovered the Jinlan Mine.

At that time, the first generation leader recognized the Jinlan Mine. He knew that this thing was needed by the monks and was valuable.

He established a village here, mined Jinlan Mine, and traded with monks from outside in exchange for something that could keep the villagers alive. "

Li Chang sighed softly, his tone a little complicated.

"It's not easy to continue trading..." Yu Ziqing knew that there must be many stories in it.

In any world, it would be a disaster for a group of powerless ordinary people to occupy a precious resource.

"Yes, it is very difficult. Human nature is greedy, and monks are even greedier. The first generation leader knows this clearly. He knows very well that blood will be spilled in the village sooner or later.

But there was no way to practice Qi cultivation in the village, so he found another way to become stronger. He kept strengthening his bones and body until the bloody conflict began, and buried the bloody corpses of the monks in the village.

In addition, the monks discovered that this place was full of danger and poison for them.

Also, they once occupied this place, but found that ordinary people outside could not survive in the dangerous mines for long, and the amount of mining was very small.

Due to various factors, the transaction went on normally.

Because only we can mine the Jinlan Mine normally. "

Yu Ziqing shook his head and smiled sarcastically. Sure enough, there was nothing new in the world. The village still existed only because those monks made the least effort and gained the most, and were cost-effective.

When the village chief said this at this time, Yu Ziqing knew that the outrageous ordinary people in the village were definitely directly related to this lava yellow rice cake.

"Yellow rice cake is a secret in the village. Only the head of each generation knows how to make it. Only those who practice boxing can eat it. The rest will die if they eat it. Moreover, the quantity is limited, and only those who contribute a lot every year can , to be qualified.”

The chief didn't say how to make this thing. After worshiping the ancestors first, he opened the lid of the stone pot.

The scalding heat condensed but never dispersed. In just a few breaths, the surroundings were like a furnace, with hot and cold alternating and turning into a roaring wind.

After waiting for a while, the heat suddenly rolled back, and everything was submerged into the stone pot. Only the yellow rice cake, which was like fresh lava, still shined brightly.

The chief held a metal chopstick in one hand, cut out a piece as big as his fist, and shouted loudly.

"Er fool."

With a solemn look on his face, Erhan stepped forward and opened his mouth.

The yellow rice cake seemed to be thick lava, squirming and falling from the chopsticks, falling directly into his mouth.

His throat moved, and a piece as big as a fist was forcefully swallowed.

After swallowing it, Erhan said nothing, walked aside and began to practice boxing skills. As he practiced, his skin became red, and billowing black energy spurted out from the pores and orifices of his body.

The billowing black smoke roared and turned into a column of smoke that was three feet thick, rolling and rushing towards the back mountain.

Everyone was not surprised and waited quietly.

“Erhan mined the most ores this year, hunted the most insects, and guarded the village, ranking first.

Next, the one who contributed the most is Yu Ziqing. Do you have any objections? "

The village chief looked around, and everyone nodded in unison, convinced. Regardless of whether the cooking was delicious or not, it only allowed the village to use existing resources, store more food, and reduce its dependence on the outside world, so no one could say it was wrong.

If Yu Ziqing hadn't arrived in a short time, the first position should have been Yu Ziqing's.

The chief used chopsticks to pick out a small piece as big as a thumbnail and shouted loudly.

"Yu Ziqing."

Yu Ziqing stepped forward, still a little worried. Is this thing really not going to kill people?

As soon as a small piece was put into the mouth, before the heat was felt, the small piece of yellow rice cake seemed to be conscious, and it went down the throat on its own.

After just one breath, he felt that there was a fire burning in his belly, getting hotter and hotter.

"Hurry up and practice boxing." The chief urged him quickly.

As the boxing practice began, Yu Ziqing immediately noticed that the fire in his belly was getting hotter and hotter, but he felt less uncomfortable.

Wisps of faint black smoke overflowed from the pores on his body, fluttering and gathering into a ball, rushing towards the smoke column erupting from Erhan's body, and then took off towards the back mountain.

Yu Ziqing calmed down and concentrated on practicing boxing. After completing a set of boxing techniques, the hot fire ball in his belly dissipated, and the light smoke gushing from his body also completely disappeared.

He took a breath, feeling relaxed and transparent from the inside out, and his body seemed to become stronger.

He looked at the people behind him who were still practicing boxing. The black smoke coming out of their bodies was more or less as outrageous as Er Han's.

Yu Ziqing raised his head, and the smoke pillars condensed above him rushed towards the back mountain. From a distance, he could vaguely see that the smoke pillars rushed sideways for a distance and then plunged towards the ground.

Then, from the mountain behind, pillars of billowing black smoke fell from the sky, impacting the huge black stone, but like water dripping into the sea, there was no impact, and they were all submerged into the black stone.

The surface of the black stone was densely covered with footprints of different shades, and as the black smoke poured in, it slowly returned to its smoothness.

On the other side, the old sheep poked his head out of his burrow, looked at the black smoke column flying in the sky, and marveled.

"The person who created this health-care method is really a genius. The power he borrowed from that unknown place was all returned within a year. Without this power, the results of health-care are all retained and even washed away. These strengths and the difficulty of subsequent health care are actually a little easier than a year ago.

Even so, it will take longer and longer to rely solely on physical cultivation to improve, but there will be improvement in the end, which is much easier than those hard physical trainings that will only become more and more difficult to improve.

It’s a pity that the first-generation li leader didn’t get out of here..."

Lao Yang watched for a moment and was inspired by this self-cultivation method. If he realized something, he got into the hole again and lay there without knowing what he was thinking.

When Yu Ziqing came back, Lao Yang opened his eyes.

"Take me to meet the chief here."

"kindness?"

"Just take me there, don't worry."

Yu Ziqing didn't know why, so he could only take Lao Yang to find the chief. The chief must know something, and there was no need to hide it.

When they saw the chief, before he spoke, the chief immediately asked Erhan to guard the door while he personally took Yu Ziqing and Lao Yang into the depths of the mountain kiln.

The three of them sat down, and Lao Yang spoke first, speaking human words.

"I've met the chief, and I want to make a deal with you."

The commander's face was calm, and he didn't even look surprised.

"Sir, please tell me."

"I want a little bit of that thing from your back mountain, and the method of refining yellow rice cakes."

Lao Yang looked at Li Chang's expression and immediately lowered his request before he could speak.

"If the preparation method is inconvenient, just supply a portion of the yellow rice cake every year, which is enough for Yu Ziqing."

Yu Ziqing was a little surprised. Lao Yang wanted it for him?

"Old sheep..."

"Elders are talking, don't interrupt." Lao Yang scolded, interrupting Yu Ziqing's words.

Yu Ziqing shut his mouth honestly and stood beside him like a fool. He knew that Lao Yang was definitely not the kind of person who cared about order and order, so he had better keep his mouth shut and listen.

The chief looked at Yu Ziqing, smiled, and shook his head.

"What the old man said is wrong. Brother Yu is now a member of my village and has learned boxing. His annual expenses will naturally be huge. What the old man said is overly worrying."

Lao Yang was unmoved and continued.

"A part of that thing in the back mountain, just the size of a fist, plus the yellow rice cakes Yu Ziqing needs, I can try to help you improve your boxing skills, plus the raw materials you need every year, and I don't want Jinlan ore.

The only people who trade with you now are Daqian. Only Daqian can give you the raw materials you need. A few months ago, the wasteland changed. From now on, you may not be able to guarantee the annual expenses you need. .

I can give you an extra piece of raw material, and it is not specially processed, so you can keep it for a long time. "

As soon as the last words came out, Li Chang's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

The raw materials needed for yellow rice cakes are indeed only traded with people from Daqian now, and those materials will spoil at most seven days after arriving here. He must start making next year's yellow rice cakes as soon as possible.

He was busy with it in the days after the deal was completed.

Lao Yang's words immediately shook the headman. He would not let go of the opportunity to get rid of the stuck neck.

"Okay, I can give you the black stone and an extra piece. This is a deal.

But Brother Yu’s annual expenses are not considered transactions.

He is a member of our village. One day, he will be forever. He has a share of the yellow rice cake every year, whether he is in the village or not. "
