Chapter 21 Searching for People and Refining Treasures
Two days later, I found the mountain that the master of treasure refining told me. The aura here is okay, it's a little stronger than outside, but it's really good for hiding.
For the next few days, I didn't rush to find the alchemist, I just walked around casually. Wukong has been suffocating in my arms for a few days, and now it can finally come out to play.
On this day, I met an uncle who was chopping wood in the mountains, and I stepped forward and asked, "Hello uncle, do you know that there is a treasure alchemist in this mountain?"
"I don't know, why are you looking for a treasure alchemist?" the uncle asked.
"Oh, I'd like to ask him to help me make a wine gourd for wine. I replied.
"Fill the wine??Young people don't have to lie, refining treasures is all about making yourself stronger, what's the use of refining a gourd for wine? Besides, if it's just for a wine gourd, why do you have to come here?"
"What's wrong with the wine gourd?!I'm a Taoist priest, I'm not a warrior, what's the point of blindly pursuing to become stronger? Is it just to bully more people and kill more people?" I said.
The uncle looked at me in surprise and said, "Then why do you want others to refine the treasure for you? If you don't have the strength, how can you keep the magic weapon in your hand?"
I said, "With sincerity, do I still put a knife on someone's neck and force them to help me practice? Besides, I think I still have the strength to keep a wine gourd." ”
The uncle smiled: "Haha, okay, then you go west, there is a forest there, maybe you can find the person you are looking for there." ”
I said, "Okay, thank you very much, uncle." ”
The place that the uncle pointed out to me was a strange gate maze, and this treasure refiner was really capable of making trouble, and there was a difficult problem to test. But this maze is of no use to me who has cultivated into the Taichu Qimen. As long as I want to now, I can just make this maze disappear. But it's a bit too arrogant to do this, after all, it's hard to arrange, just walk over it.
After a while, I passed through the maze and saw a thatched hut surrounded by a fence in front of me, where the alchemist must have lived in seclusion. When I walked into the fence yard, I was surprised to see that the woodcutter I had met had just come back and was putting things in the yard.
"How did you get through the maze so quickly?!" the uncle asked.
"I've been learning formations since I was a child, so this isn't difficult for me, now can you help me refine the wine gourd?" I said.
The uncle asked again, "Since you knew that I was a treasure refiner, why didn't you just pick it out at that time?"
I said calmly: "Didn't I say it, sincerity, of course you have to respect the other party when asking for help." Besides, you didn't reject me directly, of course I had to do what you said. ”
The uncle smiled and said, "Haha, okay! I didn't expect that there would be a person like you in this world where the weak eat the strong, let's say, how do you want me to refine your wine gourd?"
I directly showed him the gourd and the array diagram I had drawn, and the uncle looked at the array diagram for a while and said, "Wouldn't this array also be drawn by you?"
"Well, I painted it, why? Can't I draw it?" I asked.
The uncle said: "The people I know who have such advanced formation attainments are all old warlocks who are dozens of years old, but I didn't expect you to be able to reach this level at such a young age." It seems that my maze is really a hatchet. ”
"Uncle, you have praised it, can you engrave this formation, and how much does it cost me?" I asked.
The uncle said: "I can carve it, and I don't need any fees, I just need to send a thing for me after I help you refine the wine gourd, do you think it's okay?"
I laughed and said, "Okay, I think it's a good deal." ”
It took more than a month to refine the wine gourd, so I led Wukong to play deeper in the mountain, and I must let Wukong have a good time. When the days are almost over, we'll go back to Uncle.
More than a month later, when my uncle handed me the refined wine gourd, I was overjoyed. This gourd is so perfect, I like it so much.
"If you had any elixir to brew in it, it would work better. Uncle said.
"Well, okay, I'll get some in there later. It's time for me to pay, uncle, where can I send my things?" I said.
"Hehe, I really keep my word. The uncle took out a box and handed it to me and said, "Help me send this box to Mrs. Wang, the wife of the city lord of Bowang City in Cangqi Kingdom, and tell her that I have gone to the 100,000 Great Mountain, and there is no need to say anything else." ”
"Okay, I'll deliver it. I took the box and said.
"You're a funny person, don't you even ask what's in the box?" the uncle asked.
"Haha, look at what you said, I'm just in charge of delivering things, why do you know what's inside?"
The uncle smiled: "Okay, I'm not wrong, young man has a good trip!"
So, I temporarily gave up my original plan to continue west to Kunlun Mountain, and rerouted east to go straight to Cangqi country. Drinking and singing along the way, this time I don't have to worry about not drinking enough wine, my little wine gourd can hold more than a dozen catties of wine.
Half a month later, I arrived at Xiaoyi City, the largest county town in Dayu country. Since it is the largest county town in Dayu, of course I have to stay for two more days, and I am not in a hurry to send things. Besides, the money I have in hand is still very rich to pay my normal expenses, so I don't worry about eating and spending at all.
I walked around the city for a day and could see that the local people were very good, the people were very wealthy, and most importantly, there was no high pace of life and restlessness of people's hearts that I once remembered. In the evening, I found a more chic and secluded inn to stay in.
When I got up the next morning, I found that the streets in the city seemed to be much more lively than yesterday, what kind of festival was going to be celebrated or what? When I was eating, I asked the shopkeeper to find out that the third son of Dayu National Day Anhou was assassinated in the city last night. Officers and soldiers were now frequently appearing on the streets searching for the Assassins, but the people were applauding.
It is said that Anji, the third son of Qing'anhou, is extravagant and cruel by nature, and his notoriety is almost unknown in Dayu country. This Anji not only often robs the people's girls everywhere, but he likes to abuse and kill girls the most, countless girls have been killed by him, and countless people of Dayu have died because of his family, but he has been at large because of the protection of his father Qing'anhou.
I wish I could have killed him again, but luckily he has been killed by someone else now, otherwise I would have to study and kill this kid. Wanton trampling on the dignity and lives of others should be the only thing I can't tolerate now.
No matter what kind of wealth, status, power, or strength a person has, he is not qualified to live as a primitive beast and wantonly vent his desires.
