[244] War
Walking to the gate of the city, Jin Ling took out Nishizawa's map and compared it, if he entered Bei'an City in front of him and walked through the ghost country, he would take a long detour. It is better to bypass Bei'an Castle and continue to the southwest, after passing Longchuan Road, there is a waterway, and you can quickly reach Nanliucheng by going down the river.
"Let's go, I'm going to have a good look now, I heard that mortals in the ghost country also know how to control ghosts, I must go and see it." ”
Jin Ling glanced at the excited Miaoxiang, put away the map and thought for a while, and finally smiled and nodded.
She could think of this quick and easy route, and others could also think of it, it was better to walk around with Miaoxiang, and there didn't seem to be chasing soldiers behind them, at least she hadn't noticed it until now.
At the gate of the city, as usual, you have to register, and pay a piece of the entrance fee of the Immortal Stone, Miaoxiang made up two names, handed over the Immortal Stone, took the token and entered Bei'an City.
The houses in the city are mainly black, and many of the wood used for construction actually has a yin atmosphere, giving people an eerie and cool feeling.
People come and go, Jin Ling really saw a lot of mortals pulling goods in front of the car, all of them were ghosts of different shapes, and there were many ghosts in the crowd who were holding things and passing quickly.
This kind of scene abounds, and the residents of the city are not surprised by it, but Miaoxiang is a novelty.
Seeing a wine shop with magnificent decoration, Miao Xiang pulled Jin Ling in, ordered a good demon beast banquet on the table, and said that she would treat Jin Ling well.
At this time, it is not a meal, there are a few tables of guests sitting in twos and threes in the wine shop, there is no running hall running around to greet guests, only a guy yawning and sitting at the entrance of the back kitchen passage, waving a small flag, directing the full house of ghosts to serve food to the guests.
It's really a ghost country, and the ghosts are used to the extreme.
"Senior brother really has the deeds of that demon?"
"Well, two days ago, I caught a female monk and threw it in the wild, and put a guide incense on her, and now this female cultivator was caught by a demon, just wait for the evening when we follow the guide incense to find it, and we can definitely find it. ”
"Senior brother is amazing. ”
Jin Ling glanced at the back, and there were two foundation building disciples of the Ghost Country Mo Family, both with waist cards on their waists, as if they were performing some task.
Jin Ling, the sect card of the Netherworld Sect, had already been thrown into the river of blood, and she was afraid that what she had done on it would be that she had become a real casual cultivator, and she had to be careful at all times. In the eyes of these sects and family disciples, casual cultivation can be slaughtered at will.
The ten dishes were all brought up by the ghost after a while, the color and flavor were complete, Jin Ling came back to his senses, saw Miaoxiang leaning up and inhaling the aroma with his nose, closed his eyes and enjoyed: "It's really fragrant!"
Jin Ling didn't have much pursuit of food, so he picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few bites casually and said: "After eating, go find a shop to sell something, the old robbery is not the way, we have to change another flying magic weapon to hurry." ”
Miaoxiang took another sip, swallowed the aroma and said: "Why use flying magic weapons, let's buy two horses, there's nothing in the sky, it's better to ride a horse and enjoy the scenery while hurrying, okay lady~"
Jin Ling held his forehead and nodded with a smile, just let Miaoxiang have enough. The war in the Southern Wilderness is tense, and it is estimated that it will be another day of wind and rain, and if you want to be so leisurely, there will be no chance.
After eating, the two of them turned around a few shops selling magic weapons and pills, and finally chose one with a good reputation to enter, Jin Ling put a bag of Yin Fire Beads on the counter with her long withered hand and asked, "What is the price of Yin Fire Beads?"
The old shopkeeper behind the counter raised his head, vigilantly swept Jin Ling and Miaoxiang, and finally his eyes fell on Jin Ling's hand before he said, "Fifty-two." ”
Jin Ling was stunned for a moment, "Why did the closing price increase so much?", she remembered that the previous closing price was only forty-seven or eight.
The old shopkeeper smiled and said: "I see that the two of you must not have walked around outside in these years, a year ago, Jiuyou suddenly rioted, and all forces have sent a lot of additional manpower, this is about to fight." ”
"How could it be?" Miaoxiang wondered, although she didn't know much, she had always felt that the Yellow Springs Realm was very peaceful.
"Why not, don't look at my small shop, you can see the trend of the situation from the prices of all parties. ”
Jin Ling smiled and arched his hand: "Please give the shopkeeper advice." ”
Seeing that the two of them didn't understand anything, the shopkeeper said knowingly: "This is first of all blood rice, the price has increased nearly twice compared to a year ago, and then there is a disposable magic weapon like Yin Huo Zhu, the price has also risen a lot, not to mention other magic weapons and materials that were only used in wartime, this price has been rising since years ago." And I also heard that the second leader of the Yama Palace, the largest business alliance in the Huangquan realm, has left the East China Sea and personally went to all sides to mobilize supplies, isn't this going to war?"
Jin Ling frowned, he didn't expect the situation in Jiuyou to be so tense, could it be because of the Demon Monarch? Luo Xiu's escape She heard some news from Cai Mi, could it be that the Demon Monarch was really on Luo Xiu? Counting the time, a year ago, wasn't it the time when they came out of the Witch Gu Realm?
The shopkeeper thought that he had scared the two of them, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the two of them have a foundation building period of cultivation at a young age, don't worry about these things for the time being, in the eyes of the old decay, the Nine Ghost Monsters will be hit inland, and they can't do it in one hundred and eighty years, and then the two of them will be married, or the riot will be suppressed by all parties, so don't worry too much." ”
"Thank you for your advice. Jin Ling thanked him, sold part of the Yin Fire Beads he had accumulated for ten years, exchanged them for fifty third-grade spirit stones and some first- and second-grade spirit stones, and bought some healing and detoxifying pills at the shopkeeper, which can be regarded as a big customer.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper smiled happily and enthusiastically told Miaoxiang: "Childe, there have been frequent disappearances of female cultivators around here recently, especially a beauty like your lady, you should be careful." ”
"Don't worry, I'll take care of my wife. Miao Xiang shook the folding fan and smiled, walked out of the store with Jin Ling's shoulders around her shoulders, and said as she walked: "Don't worry, lady, your husband will protect you well." ”
Jin Ling didn't listen to Miaoxiang's poor mouth at all, she was thinking about the materials on her body, whether it was better to take advantage of the current situation, or stay for a while and wait for the price to rise again.
After walking all the way, Jin Ling finally decided to keep some of it and sell some of it after arriving in Nanliu City, after all, if the war is really tense, the dark stone is easy to obtain, and the materials are rare.
Jin Ling and Miaoxiang did not stay in Bei'an City, after all, this is only a small border city, and they have also seen the notices of the Mo family posted everywhere, it is true that in the past year or so, there have been frequent disappearances of female cultivators nearby, not only female cultivators, but also a few female disciples of the Mo family.
Miaoxiang really went to buy two horses, and also bought a hat and a long sword, and he had the posture of doing everything in the book, he pretended to be a chivalrous man, and took Jin Ling to gallop out of Bei'an City with his horse, and continued to travel south-
