Chapter 33: The Old Man in Mai
The days passed in a flash, and Qiao Yi signed a contract for Wang Ergou during this period, although it was also a clerk's contract, but the contract of Ergou was different from the contract of Zhao Yun and Qiao Ying.
Zhao Yun's signed contract is an employee contract to be precise, he does not need to clean the store every day like Wang Ergou and introduce products to customers, and similarly, he does not have a monthly guaranteed salary - a bottle of Coke.
What Zhao Yun needs to do, when there are guests who encounter problems that cannot be solved, they can come to the Wanwushen Store to rent Zhao Yun and go to complete the task, and every time they complete the task, they can get a Wanwu Dan to improve their strength.
If there is no one to rent, Zhao Yun will not be able to get the Wanwu Pill. It can't improve its strength.
What made Qiao Yi feel fucked up the most was that the shopkeeper couldn't buy Wanwu Dan for any clerk.
This immediately cut off Qiao Yi's idea of buying Wanwu Dan for Qiao Ying.
"Ergou, you said it's been a few days, why haven't you seen anyone. Qiao Yi asked as he lay on his recliner and closed his eyes.
Wang Ergou, who was also bored with his fingers, thought for a moment and replied: "I remember, the assessment of the Heavenly Sword Sect will start in the past two days, and the current cultivators are all preparing for the assessment, even Lin Xuan has gone, and of course the others will not appear." ”
"Assessment?" Qiao Yi was stunned for a moment, still remembering that when Qiao Yi went, he was brushed off at the first level, and now he is extremely embarrassed to think about it, and he has lost the face of the traverser.
"No, what does the assessment of the Heavenly Sword Gate have to do with Lin Xuan, they are going to the Heavenly Sword Gate?" Qiao Yi asked suspiciously.
"I don't know. However, it seems that this assessment is different from the assessments we have participated in in the past. "Wang Ergou doesn't know much, but I heard it by chance on the road, this assessment of the Heavenly Sword Sect is related to what major sect.
Qiao Yi thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know where Lin Xuan and they are now?"
"You know, it's at the foot of Heavenly Sword Mountain. "It's no secret for a long time, the assessment of the Heavenly Sword Gate is held at the foot of the mountain every year, and ordinary people know a thing or two.
Qiao Yi abruptly stood up from the recliner. "Okay, let's go to Tianjian Mountain and see what's strange about this assessment. ”
called out Zhao Yun, who hid in the house and didn't come out, and Qiao Ying, who went back to sleep. After explaining the situation to them, Qiao Yi left Wang Ergou in the store to look after the store, and with Zhao Yun, Qiao Ying set off in the direction of Tianjian Mountain.
......
Qiao Ying looked very excited along the way, this was the first time she had left the town since coming to the Linglong Realm to see the scenery outside.
After walking for a while, Qiao Yi realized the seriousness of the matter, because it had been several years, Qiao Yi had long forgotten how to go to Tianjian Mountain. The more I walked, the more I felt that this road was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Qiao Ying, who was running and jumping all the way, didn't notice anything, but Zhao Yun's brows were getting deeper and deeper.
"Shopkeeper, tell me the truth, are you lost?"
Qiao Yi said with a little embarrassment: "If nothing else...... Yes. ”
Qiao Ying, the only one on the scene who hadn't figured out the situation yet, turned his head suddenly. "What? We're lost? Didn't you say you knew it? I wouldn't have left Wang Ergou in the store if I had known it, I wouldn't have known the way. ”
Qiao Yi felt even more embarrassed. It's like, you finally take a girl out on a date, but you forget your wallet, and you end up being complained that it's not as embarrassing as staying at home.
"It's okay, we can still ask people for directions. Qiao Yi put on a look, this is all a small problem, not worth mentioning.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Yun pointed around, he had been walking for more than an hour, and he hadn't met a single ghost on the road, let alone anyone who could ask for directions.
Qiao Yi, who was speechless for a while, hurriedly looked around. Not a single ghost was found.
"That...... ......Before Qiao Yi could come up with an excuse, he heard someone's footsteps not far away.
Qiao Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Hehe, I just said someone would come out and ask for directions, right?"
This footstep was not only heard by Qiao Yi, but also by Zhao Yun, and he frowned involuntarily.
Qiao Yi turned around and looked, only to see an old man in sackcloth walking at a seemingly slow pace, but in fact, he walked to Qiao Yi and the others in a very short time.
"Little guys, are you waiting for the old man?" As Qiao Yi and the others' eyes were on the old man, the old man stopped and asked with a slight smile.
Zhao Yun and Qiao Ying didn't speak, Qiao Yi took a step forward and said, "Old man, let's not hide it, we are lost, do you know where Tianjian Mountain is going?"
The old man's face remained unchanged, as if he had expected Qiao Yi to ask this question.
"Heavenly Sword Mountain... Are you here for this assessment held near Heavenly Sword Mountain?" the old man thought for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"We're just going to see. Don't you necessarily take the assessment?" replied Qiao Yi.
The old man smiled knowingly: "It's good to go and see it, Nuo, the direction of Tianjian Mountain is over there." The old man still has something to do, so let's go first. ”
The old man in Mai pointed in a direction, and then without waiting for Qiao Yi to answer, he walked in that direction.
Although the old man seemed to be walking, it was actually a step of more than ten meters, as if the feeling of being close to the end of the world, and after a moment, the old man had disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, is this old man going to the Heavenly Sword Gate himself?" Qiao Yi couldn't help but ask as he watched the old man go in the direction of the Heavenly Sword Mountain he was pointing to.
Qiao Yi looked back and saw Zhao Yun, Qiao Ying's face was not very good-looking.
"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Yi wondered.
"This old man," Zhao Yun said after a long time. "He's a master. ”
Qiao Yi: "......"
A fool can also see it, okay, then the end of the world is playing fake with you, right?
Qiao Yi was like Zhao Yun, talking nonsense.
"That old man, I feel dangerous. Qiao Ying, whose face was also not very good, continued Zhao Yun's topic.
Qiao Yi only thought that the two of them were because they saw the strength of the old man and felt that the old man's cultivation was very high.
"Forget it, forget it, no matter how strong the old man is, it has nothing to do with us. Let's go. Finally figured out the direction, Qiao Yi took the lead.
Qiao Ying put away her thoughts and followed.
Only Zhao Yun remained in place, staring at the direction where the old man in Mai left, and muttered to himself, "Why do you have a bad feeling when you see this old man?"
"Zhao Yun, let's go, it's almost noon if you don't leave, and you can't catch up with dinner. Qiao Yi turned around and saw that Zhao Yun was still standing in place, and couldn't help urging.
Zhao Yun was pulled back to reality by this shout, put away his uneasy emotions, and walked to Qiao Yi's side in three steps and two steps.
Qiao Yi also noticed Zhao Yun's uneasiness, "Don't think about it so much, let's go." ”
Zhao Yun had to nod.
