As soon as these words came out, the women's cries were paused, and the village chief was in a state for a long time before he said, "They...... They paid tribute to the city of Chiming, two hundred miles away, in exchange for asylum. Chi Ming City put the token of the gods in their village, which can also keep them safe. However, Chiming City is very taxed, accounting for forty percent of our annual harvest. Xinghuang Village is just a small village, and I can't afford it!"

Tu Duan shrugged his shoulders and said, "People can afford it, why can't you? Now you are still next to such a big lake with such abundant fish." Take refuge in Chiming City, or be destroyed, choose for yourself. ”

There is simply no way to choose this multiple-choice question. Just when the old village chief was full of gloom, Laji's aunt came over timidly, knelt down to Ning Xiaoxian and said, "My daughter has something to say to Lord Shangxian." ”

Now that the mystery of the lake god has been solved, everyone knows that Raj is not to blame for the series of misfortunes that have happened in the village, and they feel guilty that they are even better than usual for her. When Ning Xiaoxian saw Raj, several girls in the village were chattering around her. When Raj saw the arrival of the life-saving benefactor, he quickly straightened his face and drove all the outsiders out, and then hesitated: "The fairy aunt said that if you think of anything abnormal, I want to tell you directly." ”

Ning Xiaoxian was immediately attracted: "Not bad." What do you remember?" she had traveled west, knowing full well that the devil was hiding in the details, and if she hadn't been paying attention everywhere, how could she have come here?

Raj said: "I don't know if it's an anomaly. Me and him...... When Kambu and I meet, we often sit on the cliffs on the east side of our village and look out at the scenery. On the small dirt slope under the cliff, there is a large area of bitter seedlings that bloom very brightly and vigorously. But. But when I passed there again yesterday, I found that all the bitter seedlings were gone, and only loess remained on the soil slope. ”

Ning Xiaoxian said curiously: "Bitter seedlings, is this a flower or a medicinal herb." What are you used for?" many herbs had other names in local slang, and she didn't recognize them just by their names.

"It has no other use, and it doesn't taste very good, but in the winter when there is a shortage of food and vegetables, we will pick bitter seedlings to eat, because it does not wither in winter. Raj bit her lip. "Within a hundred miles of the neighborhood, there are only bitter seedlings growing there. Maybe the bitter seedlings were just picked by other people's families and eaten, so it doesn't count...... It's not unusual. ”

"Nope. Ning Xiaoxian encouraged her. "This news is very useful. It's a pity that the bitter seedlings are all gone, and I can't see what it is. "How could it be such a coincidence, the lake god was killed at the same time. The plague is coming. The bitter seedlings are gone. An accident can be explained by coincidence, and a series of accidents is premeditated.

Raj lowered his head, blushed, and played with the corners of his clothes and said, "Actually, it's not actually light...... A few days ago, Kambu picked a few plants and gave them to me, but I was reluctant to throw them away, so I dried them and put them in the house. ”

Ning Xiaoxian was overjoyed, and reached out to touch her little face. Praise: "Raj is really good!" and then under her guidance, he found the bitter seedlings from the clay pot in the corner. The plant has lilac flowers. It should be delicate when it is fresh, and it is no wonder that Kambu picks this flower and gives it to his sweetheart.

The people in the mountains are realistic, he dug it up with the roots, and Ning Xiaoxian noticed that there were small yellow beans growing on the rhizome of this bitter seedling, which was soft to the touch, like a slurry. Raj explained: "When we eat this dish, we cook it in a pot with the stems and flowers. The soybeans on the roots will be pinched and will have a yellow concentrated liquid flowing out, no matter how long they are dried in the sun, or how long they are boiled in water, they will not solidify, and the smell is still very stinky, so we usually cut off the roots and throw them away. ”

It stinks? Ning Xiaoxian tried to squeeze a yellow bean. Suddenly, a stench permeated the room, and everyone who smelled it covered their noses. The smell was so bad that it smelled like cat urine, and it was lingering for a long time. It is no wonder that this bitter seedling will only be picked and eaten in winter when there is no wild vegetable to pick, and it turns out that if the soybean on the root is accidentally broken, the family will be smoked. In winter, the mountains are very cold, and every house burns firewood behind closed doors, and I don't know how long it will take for the stench to drift away.

It's bound to be useful, but I don't know how to use it.

"Good girl, you've done me a great favor. Ning Xiaoxian smiled and handed over an ebony hairpin, "This is my handiwork, ebony can cure illness and prolong life, and the magic power attached to it can exempt you from three fatal injuries." You've put it away. She muttered, "This thing is inconspicuous on the outside, and it is okay for you to wear it on your head, but don't tell anyone, including your mother and sweetheart, Kambu, otherwise, I am afraid it will bring you trouble." ”

Raj was so excited that his face turned red and he thanked him. This is a treasure given by the immortals!

This ebony hairpin is Ning Xiaoxian's practice work in his spare time, imitating the three supernatural powers attached to it like Yutai Yi, which can protect the person wearing the hairpin from three fatal injuries. It's just that her skills are shallow, and this hairpin can only be exempted from attack damage below the foundation building period, but for Raj, this is completely enough.

If she hadn't carelessly let the bear demon escape that day, Raj wouldn't have been seriously injured. Now the little girl has provided her with important clues, she has healed the little girl's injuries, and she has to make a little more compensation before she feels a little more at ease.

She would rather be idle and don't like to owe favors.

It's a pity that Raj is just a fifteen-year-old girl, and she doesn't know the sinister hearts of people, and she doesn't take Ning Xiaoxian's last warning to heart. Not long after, although the matter of the fairy hairpin was not spread, the person who robbed it was her sweetheart Kambu!

That's another story.

Coming out of Xinghuang Village, they went straight to the cliff that Raj was pointing to. The scenery here is obviously very good, from the cliff you can see the smooth mirror-like Sky Lake, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other. There is indeed a small soil slope under the cliff, probably originally planted with bitter seedlings, but now it has been dug up completely, not a single plant has fallen, and the soil slope has become a soil pit.

Several people looked around and found no anomalies. Changtian said suddenly: "The environment here is very cloudy, and the hillside is also the location of the sun. He reminded everyone to take a closer look at the terrain, and sure enough, it was in a deep stream, with a lot of water vapor, and the ground was extremely wet, and it seemed that the soil on the ground could be pinched out with their hands. The cliffs above block the sun, and there are a few tall plants in the stream that love shade, densely blocking the ground, so that the sun does not see light all year round.

Although it is not as cold as the land of extreme yin, it is not much different. Fang Cai Raj said that within a radius of 100 miles, only here grow bitter seedlings, which shows that this plant is very picky about the environment, and it cannot be planted without such a cloudy and humid terrain. Everyone looked at each other, only at the position where the bitter seedlings grew, and this herb must be extraordinary.

Fortunately, they have two alchemy masters who have nothing to do all day long, and it is just right for them to study this topic.

It seems that there are no useful clues to be found here, Ning Xiaoxian was about to greet Qizai, but there was some movement on the ground. A gloomy little man suddenly appeared from the ground, and it was the boy from the earth who ran errands and delivered letters back and forth for them. It moved its hands and feet happily, obviously very satisfied with the damp environment here, and then handed the message to Ning Xiaoxian.

It turned out to be Miluo's message.

Since promising not to hunt her down, the two have been relying on the frog money to communicate with the Earth Yin Boy. He knew that she had already gone to the great west of the Southern Ganbu Continent, so he invited her to stay in Chiming City, not far ahead, for a few days.

"Anyway, Miss Ning will pass through Chiming City when she goes west, why not let Miluo do the friendship of the landlord? In addition, the plague matter is slightly brows-up, and it may be possible to exchange information. The earth yin boy passed the message, directly imitating the voice and tone of the letterman, this sentence was said lazily, with a Miluo-style seductive smile, Ning Xiaoxian seemed to be able to see the demon sitting on the chair and winking at her.

This guy is really a good person, he actually guessed that she would turn from the northwest to the west and go straight, probably because she has a relationship with the Heaven Shaking God Monarch? She and Changtian planned to go to the hiding place of the snake's true body first, if they could awaken the real body, maybe they didn't need to look for Nanming's fire sword to get Changtian out of trouble. At that time, she will have completed her merits.

It was this second half of the sentence that moved her. Miluo said that it was the "friendship of the landlords", and it seems that there were some forces in that city. This person will never be untargeted, he has traveled thousands of miles to Chiming City in the Great West, presumably because he has something to do here. And the information in his hand is undoubtedly much richer than hers.

Against all odds, she finally approached the westernmost part of the continent, but she didn't want to travel a hundred miles and collapse at ninety. Chiming City is very close to the Ba Snake Mountain Range, so it is just right to inquire about the situation there from Miluo.

"Changtian, what do you mean?" she had to ask the big vinegar jar beside her first.

He pondered for a long time before he reluctantly said, "Go." Although he didn't like the eyes of the fox who always stared at his girl, the overall situation was important. Besides, he is watching in the prison of gods and demons all the time, and this guy can't make any trouble.

She liked the way he looked jealous. Ning Xiaoxian secretly held back a laugh and sent a message to the Earth Yin Boy, asking him to reply to Miluo.

As she was talking, there was movement on the ground again, and it seemed that her business was very busy today. This time, the message came from He Laosi.

His message means that trouble is coming.

It turned out that after she left the desert city of Kashna, Chun Ruhai, the owner of Najin Building, suddenly received a message from Qianjintang, asking him to send the beamsplitter he received to the main hall in person. Let's not talk about how the main hall of Qianjintang learned about this, after Chun Ruhai received the news, he directly found He Laosi who brought someone to buy a mirror.

He didn't know what was so good about this mirror, so that the mysterious woman and the main hall had to be pinched in his hands, and he didn't want to know - Chun Ruhai had no ambitions, he just wanted to do things seriously, so he didn't need to explore so much. (To be continued......)
