Chapter 14 Talent Hunting Conference
"I can't do it anymore, in fact, if I hadn't met you, I would have died a long time ago, it was you who allowed me to survive all these years, seeing that you are so sensible now, and successfully set foot in the martial arts, this is enough!" After speaking, Uncle Xu was already less breathing in than out. "Uncle Xu!" Chen Donglai couldn't say anything now except for shouting Uncle Xu's name all the time.
"Remember! After returning to Zhangyang City, you must go to Cripple Wu, he will help you!" Uncle Xu finished saying this sentence with his last strength, and he was completely out of breath.
The rest of the convoy didn't have time to rest for a moment, so they all hurriedly joined in cleaning the battlefield and arming defenses, because in the dense forest of the night, they didn't know when they would face any special circumstances. In addition, although the loss is heavy this time, the harvest is also huge, and a good ordinary wolf skin is taken to the city to buy, which can be worth the employment money this time, and the skin, claws, and bones of this wolf demon are even more valuable. Therefore, everyone is actively sorting out the harvest this time.
Chen Donglai sat quietly with Uncle Xu in his arms all night without saying a word.
I think a lot here, whether it was before or now, Uncle Xu is the best person for himself, if it weren't for him, he would have died 15 years ago.
Early the next morning, Chen Donglai buried Uncle Xu, stood in front of his grave and said, "Uncle Xu, you are here alone, and in the future, I will definitely move your grave back to Zhangyang City, so that you can return to your roots." ”
At this time, Wang Lung came to Chen Donglai's side with a bag of things: "Little brother, mourning! This is the fate of our warriors!"
"Brother Wang, don't worry about me, I'm fine!" Chen Donglai quickly adjusted his state.
"These things belong to you, thanks to you this time, otherwise our caravan will not know what to encounter, you saved us all twice. ”
"This is how it should be, I'm actually saving myself!" Chen Donglai unceremoniously took the package sent by Wang Long, opened it and saw that there was not only the material of the ordinary wild wolf he had just killed, but also a white crystal, according to Chen Donglai, this should be the demon core of the wolf demon.
Immediately looked at Wang Lung with a puzzled face, "Brother Wang, although I also contributed to this wolf demon, but in the end it was you who killed it, and Zhao Hu also made a lot of efforts, how did you give me the most precious demon core?"
"Take it! This is all you deserve, if it weren't for you and Uncle Xu this time, let's not talk about killing the wolf demon, it's unknown whether you can survive or not!"
"But I think it's still inappropriate for me to take it, after all, Zhao Hu has paid the biggest price this time, and the damage to his strength in the future is also the greatest, or this demon core will be given to him!" Thinking of Zhao Hu's injury this time, even if it is cured, it will have a great impact in the future, which makes Chen Donglai feel a little uncomfortable.
"You don't have to worry about this, you will be in Frost Leaf City tomorrow, with the strength of our Wang family, there will be a way to cure him, and of course his benefits are indispensable!"
"In that case, my little brother will accept it with a cheeky face!" Chen Dong came to see that it was too empty to continue, so he accepted the demon core.
"Actually, I think you can keep this demon core to improve your strength, and as for the wolf skin, you can sell it to our caravan, and I can rest assured that I will give you a satisfactory price." Seeing that Chen Donglai finally had something under his hands, Wang Lung continued.
Hearing Wang Long's words, Chen Donglai left the demon core, handed the package to Wang Long again, and said, "Then there is Brother Lao Wang!"
"Rest assured that it is wrapped in me" Wang Lung took the package, walked out a few steps, and then turned his head and continued, "By the way, although this demon core is only the lowest, but it is a rare demon core with wind attributes, if I don't meet you, I am really reluctant to take it out, absorb the energy of this demon core, there is a certain probability to feel the artistic conception of the wind, although the chance is very small, but it is also a chance, isn't it? And these are just your trophies, and the caravan will give you some rewards in view of your performance later, and I will wait until I meet Miss." ”
"Today we are going to arrive in Frost Leaf City, when we reach Frost Leaf City, our escort mission this time is also completed, and you can also repair it in the city. ”
Sending Wang Lung away, Chen Donglai took out the demon core again and looked carefully, and found that the faint white mist inside the demon core was flowing, like an invisible majesty, giving the demon core a sense of elegance.
When Chen Donglai returned to the camp, the caravan was ready to leave, Wang Lung came to Chen Donglai and gave him the money from the sale of wolf skins, the price was really fair, it was worth 40 gold coins, you must know that this time Chen Donglai and Uncle Xu's mercenary mission together was only 6 gold coins, and at the same time gave Chen Donglai a quenching pill and a standard long knife of the Wang family's caravan, saying that this was the caravan's reward for his heroic performance when he resisted the wolves yesterday.
As everyone gradually arrived at Frost Leaf City, the scenery on the road began to change, the red maple on both sides of the road was overgrown, the breeze blew, and the red maple leaves fell in the air, full of poetry and picturesqueness, which Chen Donglai had never seen in his previous life, and the beautiful scenery on both sides of the avenue was intoxicating.
Looking at the scenery in front of him and thinking of his own situation, Chen Donglai couldn't help but chant "Siyuan People, Red Leaves and Yellow Flowers Autumn Evening" by Yan Jidao in the Song Dynasty in his previous life. "The autumn of red leaves and yellow flowers is late, and thousands of miles of travelers. The flying clouds are over, and there is no faith in returning, where to send books. The tear bomb is not enough to drop from the window, so the inkstone is swirled and the ink is studied. Gradually write to don't come, in the depths of this feeling, the red note is colorless. ”
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to chant poetry!" At this time, Wang Lung was surprised to see it.
"It's just casual nonsense" was said by Uncle Xu, and Chen Donglai hurriedly said nonsense.
"Do you know how this Frost Leaf City came about?" Hearing Chen Donglai's explanation, Wang Lung didn't delve into it, but continued to chat with him.
"I have to ask Brother Wang to help me popularize this. Seeing that Uncle Xu was no longer delving, Chen Donglai also quickly changed the topic.
Frostleaf City is one of the few cities in my mercenary career that did not arise due to resources and important strategic locations, because this city came from the maple leaves in this article, and legend has it that a long time ago, there was already a large maple tree here.
Once a great Confucian passed through this place, he was touched by the scenery here, so he lived here for a period of time, and chanted poems and paintings here, and later many literati and scholars also came to visit, and gradually there was today's Frost Leaf City.
Therefore, Frost Leaf City is a cultural holy place, every autumn, when the maple leaves of Frost Leaf City are the reddest, there will be many literati here to gather here to hold a poetry meeting.
Slowly over the years, the poetry conference has changed a little, from the original cultural exchange has existed in name only, and now it has become a channel for major forces to recruit talents.
The reason why this Miss Wang from our caravan came to Frost Leaf City with the caravan this time should be to participate in the poetry meeting!
Uncle Xu's words aroused Chen Donglai's interest, so he asked, "Uncle Xu, we respect the strong people of the Wanhua Continent, where did these weak scholars come from with such great ability to build a city in such an environment?"
"Hmph! You don't understand this, right! Who said that scholars can't practice martial arts? Confucianism and Taoism used to be a well-known part of our Wanhua Continent, but now it has declined a little, and even this poetry conference has become a talent hunting conference for various other martial arts forces, this time, our young lady, just want to use this opportunity to join a force!"
"It's a pity that the poetry conference has already existed in name only, if you had used your ability to recite poetry in the past, there might have been a great Confucian who chose you!
"The little brother was born recklessly, but he doesn't know these things, Brother Wang smiled!"
