Volume 1 Ghost Town Chapter 44 The City of the Sparrow King
After glancing at everyone, the old man said with a smile: "If the old man is not mistaken, a few of them should be cultivators, right?"
After thinking slightly, Yue Fangfei nodded and said, "We came out of the Boundless Academy to practice, and I am their teacher." ”
She quickly asked, "Where did the old man come from?"
The old man smiled and said, "In a small village in the south, I heard that there was going to be a war, and many people left, so I had no choice but to take my granddaughter to the north to seek refuge with relatives." ”
Yue Fangfei nodded, if you want to go to the north, you really have to go through the Peacock Ruins.
Everyone chatted without saying a word, and soon it was sunset, and everyone finally arrived at the Peacock Ruins.
The Peacock Ruins, as the name suggests, is a city that has long been abandoned, and with the erosion of wind and sand, only some traces of buildings can be barely seen now, and some weeds still grow, which looks particularly desolate.
The old man stopped and sighed: "If you don't say that time is the most ruthless, the City of the Sparrow King, which was once very prosperous, has now become like this, and it is really the palace that has been made of soil." ”
Zeng Changsheng was puzzled: "Sparrow King City?"
The old man glanced at Mo Yan intentionally or unintentionally, nodded and said: "When I was a child, I heard the elders in the village say that this place used to be the capital of a certain dynasty, but later the dynasty declined, coupled with the change of times, it was gradually renamed Peacock Ruins, but it is a pity that the era is too long, and there are very few people who know it, and many historical books have not recorded it, only some traces can be found in some local chronicles that have been left behind." ”
Mo Yan's brows suddenly furrowed slightly.
He clearly remembered that on the map that recorded "Shocking God", there was a city of the Sparrow King.
After the old man finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Qin in the car, and said with a smile: "Little doll, the old man can only send you here." ”
Qin Qin jumped out of the carriage, and the little girl in the carriage raised her head to look at her.
After the old man climbed into the carriage with great difficulty, he pulled the reins and turned the carriage towards the northern path, and said, "I don't know when I will come here, so you better leave as soon as possible." ”
After saying that, with a flick of the leather whip, the whole thing seemed to be a different person, and the carriage went straight away.
Yue Fangfei looked at the carriage in the dust and said slowly: "I always feel that there is something wrong with these two people, but I just can't say it." ”
Qin Qin opened his mouth at this time: "No, that old guy looked at me as if he was going to eat me, especially that little girl, who felt even more terrible than the old guy." ”
Zeng Changsheng, quiet, Su Mingrui was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the carriage in the dust again.
Only Mo Yan lowered his head, not knowing what to think.
Yue Fangfei retracted her eyes and said: "Anyway, it's better to go to the city, replenish it, I'll stop by to see if there are any high-grade refiners around here, it's best to find a caravan, just with us, it is indeed very difficult to cross the Westwind Grassland." ”
......
......
On the northern path, the old man slowed down the carriage, looked at his granddaughter, and said with white eyes: "Hurry up and wipe your saliva, it's almost flowing to the ground." ”
The little girl hurriedly stretched out her sleeves and wiped the corners of her mouth indiscriminately, making the old man a little crying and laughing.
The old man suddenly said: "I know you have a big appetite, but this little girl is not something you can eat, after all, she is a person who has a relationship with that old guy." ”
The little girl pursed her lips.
The old man continued: "Besides, you won't die if you don't eat a meal. ”
The little girl said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I know." ”
The old man suddenly muttered, "I just can't understand why I suddenly bring it up at this moment, the city of the Sparrow King has been in decline for tens of thousands of years." ”
The little girl raised her head and said, "That old man is like your grandfather, you listen to everything you say, have you understood?"
The old man nodded, "He's my grandfather, what's that?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then snorted sideways.
After half a ring, the little girl turned around and asked, "Grandpa, you said that these people can really resist the attack of our clan?"
The old man shook his head, "I don't know, don't they have a saying here that they do everything and obey the destiny of heaven, that's all we can do." ”
The little girl nodded, and soon thought of other things, such as what to eat tonight?
Although the peacock ruins have been abandoned, there are merchants resting all the year round, and there have been people one after another over the years, but the perennial war is not stable.
At this moment, there are several caravans stationed here, and those who can come out to run merchants at this time are naturally those who want money and don't want to die, and most of these people have the ability to do it.
After seeing Mo Yan and the others come in, everyone immediately stood up from the ground, as if facing a great enemy, and only after seeing that most of the people who came were children, they relaxed a lot.
After the two sides looked at each other, they were busy with their own, no one knew anyone, and there was no intention of greeting.
This is also a kind of rule for walking the rivers and lakes, Pingshui meets, do not interfere with each other, and it is also the rule of the cultivation world, you take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge.
The sky was getting dark, Yue Fangfei led everyone to find an inn that opened today and didn't know if it would open tomorrow, the inn was not very good, but the price was frighteningly expensive.
There are not many people in the inn, after all, when they are out of the house, most of the people who can come to this kind of place are reckless, and they all regard money as their lives, and they would rather spend a night outside hastily and with mosquitoes than spend this unjust money.
Moreover, when going out, a person who pays attention to his wealth is not exposed, and can spend so much money to go to the guest house, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not short of money, and it is inevitable that some people will see the wealth and become happy, so as to kill people and sell goods.
Su Mingrui and the others don't understand this, but Yue Fangfei definitely understands, she chose the inn because the academy has never had the rules of sleeping on the streets, and since there is an inn, she naturally has to live generously.
First, as the only cultivation institution of the Continental Alliance in the Northern Desert, Wuya Academy is not short of this money.
Second, if someone really wants to get rich and kills people to sell goods, then they must have that ability.
The people in the inn looked at the people in the academy and thought about it.
Yue Fangfei walked to the counter and asked for six rooms directly, and then under the leadership of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy, she walked up to the second floor, and after each of them divided the rooms, she didn't come out again.
After Su Mingrui entered the room, he glanced out of the open window, took off his sword, walked into the bathroom to take a shower, and after changing his clothes, he lay directly on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Zeng Changsheng is also similar to Su Mingrui, the difference is that he closes the open window, sits cross-legged on the bed after washing.
After washing up quietly, she stood in front of the window, and for some reason, she was a little sad.
Qin Qin was sitting on the stool, thinking about the pair of grandchildren who had just separated, the more he thought about it, the more he felt afraid, so he ran to the bed and covered himself with the quilt, but he couldn't fall asleep after turning it over.
Mo Yan took out the map and spread it on the table, and at the same time took the oil lamp in his hand, looked at it carefully, and sure enough, he found a black dot, and on the black dot, there were three small characters written in ancient Chinese: King of Sparrow City.
Mo Yan stretched out his left index finger, pressed it on the dot, put the oil lamp in his right hand back on the table, and then moved along the route to the east of the Sparrow King City, but soon, the line was broken, leaving a large space.
Mo Yan frowned, looked beyond the blank space, and quickly furrowed his brows tightly, because he had never heard of the places marked on the map.
Mo Yan put away the map, put it back in his sleeve, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and let out a long breath.
In any case, since the city of the King of Sparrows has been determined, it proves that the place marked on this map is in the Tang Kingdom, and where he is now is one of the maps, that is to say, it is very likely that the news of "Shocking" will be found here.
He opened his eyes, looked around, hesitated slightly, took the ghost in his hand, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, Yue Fangfei also cleaned up her appearance, then opened the door and walked out, while saying, "I'll go out to inquire about some news, you all stay in the house, don't walk around." ”
After finishing speaking, he went downstairs, looked left and right, came to the counter, and asked the bored shopkeeper, "May I ask the shopkeeper, is there a famous refiner around here?"
The shopkeeper raised his head, and when he saw Yue Fangfei's beautiful face, he suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "What kind of objects does the girl want to refine?"
Yue Fangfei thought for a moment and replied, "A spiritual weapon." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Yue Fangfei again, shook his head and said: "If you want to refine spiritual weapons, you must at least be a high-level refiner, such a character is not easy to find, but the girl is lucky, a master of practicing weapons came two days ago, and now she should still stay here, the girl went to the east to inquire, there should be news." ”
Yue Fangfei thanked her and said, "By the way, please ask the shopkeeper to help us prepare some food and water, and settle the bill together tomorrow morning." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's easy to say." ”
Yue Fangfei turned around and walked out of the inn, looked around, and after identifying the direction, she walked quickly.
In the inn, several drinkers sighed: "This girl looks really smart, just like a fairy, look at that ......"
He rubbed his hands, "Grab it in your hands, that taste must be more enjoyable than being a fairy." ”
Someone said coldly: "I don't think about it, this girl is not easy to deal with at first glance, don't steal chickens and rice, even your little life is planted here, the brothers came out just to ask for money, but I don't want to make money, so I died in vain." ”
Someone else nodded and said, "These people are cultivators at first glance, so it's best not to provoke them." ”
The man who spoke before pouted and said, "What's wrong with people in cultivation, aren't they also women, I can't say that people need a man like me to double cultivate." ”
A man who had not spoken all this time said: "Liu Laocheng, you will die sooner or later from your broken mouth." ”
When the man had spoken, the rest of the people stopped.
On the other side, the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy walked up to the shopkeeper and whispered: "Shopkeeper, these people look very rich, do you want to inform the big boss, such a fat sheep, can't just let it go." ”
The shopkeeper glared at the guy, and was just about to scold angrily, but because there were still guests in the inn, he said in a low voice: "You didn't fucking hear what she was going to refine?
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy thought for a moment, and then said: "Even if she is a cultivator, but she has such a group of children, no matter how powerful she is, as long as she controls these few upstairs, I am afraid that she will not comply?"
The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, lost in thought.
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked guy continued: "Shopkeeper, hurry up and make up your mind, now that she is out, it is the best opportunity." ”
The shopkeeper was still a little hesitant.
The guy instigated again: "Wealth and danger are sought, if we really make this order, we still need to suffer in this place where birds don't?"
The shopkeeper finally made up his mind and nodded: "Then you go and inform the big boss, remember to tell him the situation clearly, and bring a few more knife men." ”
When the man heard this, he immediately blossomed with joy and promised: "The shopkeeper, you put your heart in your stomach and sit aside and wait to count the money." ”
After saying that, he quickly left the inn.
The shopkeeper looked at the abacus on the table, his mood was complicated, he was excited, worried, he really couldn't rest assured, this can't be done, the money is not seen, and his life is gone.
Qin Qin still couldn't sleep, so he simply threw the quilt aside, put on a coat, quietly opened the door, poked his head out and looked left and right, and walked out after making sure that there was no one, and then walked towards Mo Yan's house.
She came to Mo Yan's door, looked left and right, and then reached out and knocked on the door, knocking for a long time, but there was no movement in the room.
Qin Qin frowned, and reached out to push the door, but the door was tethered, so Qin Qin lowered his voice and shouted, "Senior Brother Mo, are you sleeping?"
shouted a few times, but there was still no movement, Qin Qin couldn't help but think of the previous pair of grandchildren, and he couldn't care about it for a while, and suddenly exerted his strength, and the wooden door bolt was directly broken into two, and after Qin Qin entered the house, he found that there was no one in the house.
Qin Qin came to the window, looked at it, and then jumped down, and his figure quickly disappeared into the darkness......
To the northwest of the peacock ruins, a figure ran quickly, and then climbed a mountain, and in the squirming woods, there was a flickering fire.
When the man saw the fire, he was overjoyed, wiped his sweat, and ran quickly.
Someone soon spotted him and shouted, "Who's coming?"
The guy who ran all the way from the inn hurriedly stopped and said loudly: "It's me, I have something urgent to see the big boss." ”
The man asked, "Password." ”
The guy with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks said, "The big girl's ass, the little girl's waist." ”
There was a laugh from there, and he asked, "Is there a big fat sheep under the mountain?"
The guy with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks walked forward, "It's fat, after finishing this ticket, I will ensure that the brothers will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and there will be more than enough to buy a few beautiful girls." ”
Everyone frowned, "It's so fat, I'm afraid it's not easy to chew, right?"
The guy nodded, "It's a little hard to gnaw, but it can still be gnawed." ”
Everyone nodded, and a man said, "You can discuss it with the big boss." ”
After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand, and a wooden fence suddenly opened, and then the man led the man in.
Not long after, an old man came out from behind a tree, looked at the men holding torches, and said, "There are a lot of people." ”
A little girl walked out from behind him, frowned, and said, "Just to see how many people are here?"
The old man smiled, "I didn't want to find you something to eat." ”
The little girl pouted and said, "I'm a glutton, but I don't eat everything, and I don't look at who these people are, it's disgusting to look at." ”
The old man was puzzled: "What should I do?"
The little girl said coldly: "Don't think I don't know your thoughts. ”
The old man grinned and said, "It's worthy of being my granddaughter, it's just smart." ”
The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, okay, you come or I'll come, right?"
The old man suddenly sighed, "I'm old, it's hard to walk a mountain road, my leg suddenly hurts badly, oops, no, no, I have to sit for a while." ”
The little girl didn't bother to look at him, her small body brought a gust of wind and crashed directly into the people in front of her.
"Who?"
"Bang!"
As soon as the words fell, the fence exploded instantly, followed by the sound of drawing knives, and then the screams......
Yue Fangfei followed the route told by the shopkeeper and came to the east of the peacock ruins, and soon found a well-repaired attic, which was brightly lit, and looked out of place in this desolate ruins.
Yue Fangfei walked in, and saw that there were many people in the attic, and there were a few women dressed in fancy clothes writhing their waists there.
A small servant ran up quickly and asked with a smile, "Is this guest officer eating or sharpening?"
Yue Fangfei shook her head, "I'm looking for someone." ”
The little guy was stunned.
Yue Fangfei continued to ask, "Do you have a refiner here?"
After thinking about it slightly, the little guy didn't say whether there was one, but asked, "The guest officer is here to refine the weapon?"
Yue Fangfei nodded and said: "I got some materials a few days ago, and I wanted to find someone to refine a spiritual weapon, and I heard that there happened to be a master of practicing weapons here, and he came to visit." ”
A man walked towards a woman with drunken eyes, burping and asking, "Who?
When he saw Yue Fangfei, his eyes widened, and the wine woke up seven or eight points in an instant, and he even swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The woman who was hugged by her said coquettishly: "Master, let's drink again." ”
The man pushed the woman away and scolded: "Drink your mother, go aside." ”
The woman glanced at Yue Fangfei, snorted coldly, and then beckoned the next man to go.
When the little guy saw the man coming up, he smiled and said, "This is the refining master who came two days ago, so the little one won't bother the two." ”
After the little guy left, Yue Fangfei frowned and glanced at the man in front of her, and said suspiciously: "Do you know how to refine weapons?"
The man laughed, "It depends on what the girl wants to practice and what price she pays." ”
Yue Fangfei continued: "Can the spirit weapon be refined?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and the last two points of wine also woke up completely, and nodded: "Naturally, it's just ...... in terms of price."
His eyes kept wandering on Yue Fangfei.
Yue Fangfei really wanted to gouge out this guy's eyeballs and throw them on the ground to smash them, but she still said: "In terms of price, it's not a problem." ”
The man laughed and said, "Happy, let's talk upstairs?"
Yue Fangfei frowned, nodded after thinking slightly.
