Chapter 7 Man-made money and death
Gu Yuli held Xiaomi and headed west, just opposite to the mountains and forests to the east. She didn't want to meet the witch in red just now. With her little strength, it was impossible to go to the mountains and forests to inform the Demon Palace. 's bodyguard.
Fortunately, I stole a lot of food this time and can survive for a while.
After walking towards the west for six or seven days, gradually, there were more people than before. Even at night, pedestrians and carriages could be seen on the official road. She tried to avoid them and lived her life with the sky as her house and the earth as her home. Days for bed.
Hiding secretly in the dark, I learned from others that this place has left the scope of Wuzhishan and Xuefeng and reached the border of Xuanyuan Kingdom. If we go forward, we will reach Juyong Pass, the border pass of Xuanyuan Kingdom.
The location where Gu Yuli is now is basically a no-brainer zone, because it is relatively close to Wuzhishan and not many people live there. Most of them are not living well in the country, or want to evade taxes, or are running away. Prisoners, or some disciples from the Immortal Sect who have gone down the mountain to practice, often walk here, and there are also some businessmen who travel north and south.
Wuzhi Mountain is not just one mountain. There are several mountains between Wuzhi Mountain and Xuefeng. Common people generally call it Wuzhi Mountain System. These mountains have dense virgin forests, which contain many medicinal herbs, many of which are rare varieties. There are also some rare monsters living here. Their fur and internal organs and blood are excellent medicinal materials, or materials for refining weapons. If you can kill one hundred-year-old and bring it back to the Chamber of Commerce for auction and sale, the money earned will be enough to feed a family for many years.
Good monsters are not easy to come by. There are often weapon refiners and other practitioners who come to Wuzhi Mountain to hunt monsters and gain experience at the same time. However, this Wuzhi Mountain is not accessible to ordinary practitioners. Then you will lose your life and become the food in the mouth and belly of the monsters. Moreover, according to legend, there are still demon spirits living in the deepest part of Wuzhi Mountain who will not have time to enter the kingdom of demons in the future. These demon spirits are powerful and have the same intelligence as humans. Disciples who are able to control monsters, and experienced disciples have basically no chance of surviving when encountering these monster spirits.
Above the snow peak, there is long-term ice and snow cover. There is no vegetation, and animals are rare. But just one "snow ice lotus" can make the alchemists of the entire Yuhua world go crazy. There are still people living on the snow peak. Rare monsters such as snow leopards and ice bears are extremely difficult to come across, but hunting one is a huge price.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.
There are not a few people who come to Xuefeng and Wuzhishan to try their luck every year. Just under the thick rotten dead branches, like under the ice covered in white, I don't know how many dead bones are buried and how many ghosts are floating here. Enter reincarnation.
"Hey, I heard that there are a lot of monsters appearing in Wuzhishan this year, and there are some born two hundred years ago." said the middle-aged man who was sitting at a roadside tea stall drinking tea and chewing soy sauce beef.
Sitting next to the middle-aged man was a man with a long beard and a red face. He was also very strong. Since the autumn cold, he was still wearing only a vest, showing his strong muscles. He drank a large pot of wine and threw it on the table: "Who says it's not, you You know that brat named Li Yang, right? Damn, this brat got some shit luck. A few days ago, he fawned over a disciple of an immortal sect and followed him to Wuzhishan. Within a few days, he got one back. A wolf with two hundred years of flaming eyes and three legs. Seeing how successful that villain is, I just want to give him a few slaps."
The middle-aged man asked curiously: "That Li Yang, is he the skinny boy who defected to your boss just last month?"
"That's right." The man with a long beard and a red face said angrily: "It's this brat who flatters you every day. He has a zombie face and is annoying to look at. However, the boss still treats him like a treasure to even Changtingyuan.
Give him a place to live, and let us old people put their faces wherever they go." He slapped the wine pot hard: "Bah, let me listen to the orders of such a stupid kid. I won't do it. I will go to Wuzhishan tomorrow and catch him.
A three-legged wolf with three hundred years of flaming eyes, exchanged enough copper coins to slap that brat in the face."
"Hey, hey." The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hands: "It's okay to release your energy, but don't risk your life recklessly. The three-legged wolf with three hundred years of flaming eyes has to go deep into the Five Fingers Mountain."
The man with a long beard and a red face patted the middle-aged man's shoulder heavily: "Thank you for reminding me. How could I be such a reckless person? I have already found out. These days, there are several immortal sects in Yuxu, Kunlun, and Shushan.
All his disciples are in Wuzhi Mountain. It is said to be for training, but in fact..." He lowered his voice, fearing that others would hear: "I have solid news, it seems that Yuxu's Death Breath Fire was stolen..."
"What?" The middle-aged man was so shocked that he almost jumped up from his chair.
"Brother, please be patient." The long-bearded man said with a proud look on his face: "This is a good opportunity for us to make a fortune. I heard that even Yuxu's Sihuai Master came down the mountain to slay demons in Wuzhi Mountain.
To destroy demons, Da Yuan Zhenren has six disciples, none of them are extremely talented and capable. As long as we follow them, we might be able to pick up ready-made good things."
"And..." the long-bearded man lowered his voice, almost lying on the middle-aged man's ear: "I heard that the disciples of the Immortal Sect have been trapped, and there are some demon spirits coming over there. If we do this...
…”
The middle-aged man still looked hesitant.
The man with the long beard and red face couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied: "Brother, what I have revealed to you is huge news. If I hadn't taken care of my little brother on weekdays, my little brother wouldn't have come to see me. If I didn't go, I would have done it myself."
I’m looking for someone.”
"Okay, okay, okay." The middle-aged man hurriedly grabbed the person: "I'm thinking about what equipment to take! Just as it happens, I have two pieces of Xi Puyu that I bought at a big price. These two pieces of Xi Puyu
They are all engraved with the third-level formation, which can cover up the aura of the wearer. No matter how advanced he is in cultivation, he will not be able to see through or notice it. When the time comes, we will not be afraid of provoking some powerful monster deep in Wuzhishan.
Beast... However, using this breath jade requires a lot of spiritual energy support, which is very expensive."
"It's okay. Anyway, there is no risk for us to follow the disciples of the Immortal Sect. If we really encounter it, we can just take it out and use it. It won't cost much."
The two of them lowered their voices and discussed the details of tomorrow's trip while eating.
Right next to them, there was a century-old locust tree. Gu Yuli was sitting on it with Xiaomi in her arms, and could completely hear the conversation between the two people under the tree. She originally wanted to hear what was happening nearby.
Information, I didn't expect to get unexpected results.
Master Sihuai? Isn't he Bi Qing's master? She can just give him the spiritual paper written by Bi Qing to fulfill Bi Qing's wish, but... what if Master Sihuai looks like the woman in red?
?
Maybe he was a reasonable person. Aren't all the people in the Immortal Sect shouting and killing? She couldn't help but think of the Immortal Sect disciple named Wuchen. His voice was really nice, but it was a pity that he didn't see his true appearance.
"Xi Puyu." Gu Yuli said to herself, looking at the two people who stood up and left, the corners of her mouth slightly curved. Xiaomi's chubby cat paws held a piece of beef with soy sauce and licked it: "Are you going to do something bad again?
?" The cat's paws, which were full of oil, rubbed against Gu Yuli's skirt.
Gu Yuli's head was full of black lines: "Who said I was going to do bad things? I'm just borrowing it temporarily, okay?"
She followed the two people until they arrived in the town. Fortunately, there were no Immortal disciples here. They all probably went to Wuzhishan. She easily followed the two people and entered a large house.
He is wealthy and seems to be someone with some wealth.
These two people are also martial arts practitioners. They have some kung fu, but unfortunately they don't build foundations. They are just some fist and kick kung fu. Naturally, they can't notice the ancient jade glass following them. The middle-aged man took two Xi Pu Yu, emerald green.
It's only about the size of a thumb, and it looks particularly cute, a bit like a jade ornament worn around the neck.
This breath raw jade will start to move on its own as long as it is close to the body, isolating the breath emanating from the body. Once it leaves the body, it will naturally stop functioning. Relying on the support of the huge spiritual energy, basically one is needed every two hours.
Second-grade spiritual stones are added inside to replenish spiritual energy, which can be said to be a luxury product that consumes a lot of money.
You know, the value of a second-grade spiritual stone is enough to be worth the food that a family of three eats for a year.
The two looked at the map of Wuzhishan, made comparisons, and chatted for a while. It was getting late, and the servants prepared food, and they went out.
"Meow-" Suddenly, a round, snow-white kitten jumped down from the roof, ran across the middle-aged man's chest, jumped to the ground, meowed again, and disappeared to nowhere.
The middle-aged man must have been startled. He rolled his sleeves and cursed at the servant standing by: "Where did the wild cat come from? Catch it, kill it and throw it away. It's really unlucky." The servant nodded repeatedly and ran to call others to look for it.
This nasty little white cat.
The highest roof in town.
Gu Yuli was sitting on the ridge of the roof, holding the "Xi Pu Jade". It was small in appearance, made with quite skillful hands, and had some artistic talent. The raw jade was carved into the shape of a cabbage, and the image was lifelike and natural.
She flicked it with her fingertips, and the jade made a crisp "ding-ding" sound.
Xiaomi squatted next to him, looking up at the cat's head: "Meow-you owe me a big meal. I want hot roast chicken, hot soju, hot braised beef, and hot spring rolls."
…”
Gu Yuli laughed, this greedy little thing.
She put the Xi Puyu on her neck, but she didn't feel anything else. She felt a little disappointed. Does this really work? She looked at Xiaomi and asked: "How is it? Does it work?"
Xiaomi circled around her twice, sniffing with the cat's nose, then jumped into the distance to take a look, and after a while, he happily said: "It works, it really works, the evil spirit in you is gone."
"Really?" Gu Yuli was a little unsure, but she didn't feel anything at all: "Xiao Mi, did you want to eat hot roast chicken in a restaurant, so you said that on purpose?"
Xiaomi waved her chubby cat paws angrily and said angrily: "I am a very moral cat, and I am not like some evil people who do bad things. Humph!"
