Chapter 45: Sunrise over Stone Bridge
The three of them walked over to the many people gathered around the table, and not far from the back wall was the back door of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is also the final step in accepting the bounty.
Sitting at the table was a white-bearded old man, about fifty years old, with a wrinkled face, a gray robe, and a pair of shining eyes, constantly looking at the people who came out of the various buildings, also constantly reporting the names and the number of gold coins in his mouth, and next to a teenage young man collecting gold coins, and then putting them in a cabinet.
Mu Xiucai handed the wooden plaque with the names of the three people written on it and the deposit to the old gentleman who was in charge of the records.
The old man took the wooden card, counted the gold coins, looked at the three of them and read it again: "The white level reward, the three of them cooperate, the period is five days, the bounty is ten gold, and the deposit has been paid."
Then he looked at the spiritual power test of the three of them, nodded, recorded all the information, raised his eyes to look at Mu Xiucai, and then sent him a white spirit rune.
Xia Yun saw that the spirit rune was only half the size of a palm, it was still made of stone, and it had no luster, and it could also be engraved with the word 'sword' in red seal script.
Mu Xiucai took it and led the two out of the back door, he obviously regarded himself as the leader of this 'wood cutting' team at this time, and said to the two: "This task requires five days to cut 1,000 pieces of size and length, that is, 200 pieces are needed every day, let's share it!" How much is the spiritual power of the two of you worth? ”
"I'm 33."
"I'm 45."
"I'm 50!"
Both of them looked at Mu Xiucai in surprise: "Is it almost upgraded?" ”
Brother Xiucai nodded helplessly, with a lot of sorrow coming from it, and said with a wry smile: "Alas, there is no way, I have also struggled for more than half a year, and I still stay at this value, which is more difficult to break through than I imagined!" I've worked hard, and there's a saying that 'I was born to be useful!' 'Oh..."
"Don't be 'helpless' first, let's divide labor first!" Wang Xiaowu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and interrupted his interest in chanting poetry.
"Xiaoyun, you have 60 roots a day, five fat people, you have 70 roots, and I have 80 roots. What do you think? ”
"Good!"
Wang Xiaowu still nodded with a smile and said, "Then it's decided, get up early tomorrow and bring the guys with the application, and gather at the stone bridge outside the city!" ”
So the three of them went back to their respective homes.
Let's talk about Jin Mukui, he brought another fisheye to Dangbao Zhai today, and the gold coins of Dang Lingjing were not returned, but he just returned the bill, even if he officially joined the Spirit Hunting Pavilion.
Xia Yun walked around the Falling Star City again, familiar with the streets and customs here, and when it was time to eat in the evening, Jin Mukui was already waiting for him, and said while eating: "Brother, today I have agreed to join the Spirit Seeking Pavilion!" “
"Okay, the person surnamed Yu didn't embarrass you, right?"
"Nope." Jin Mukui smiled and said, "I guess I won't be able to stay in this inn anymore, I will have to report to the Spirit Pavilion in the next two days!" And the rent and food here are too expensive. ”
"Yes, since you're going to find the Spirit Pavilion, then I'll also live in another place!" Xia Yun told Jin Mukui about today's day.
"Very well, brother! The power of one person is small, and it is necessary to find these people to complete such simple tasks together, and you can learn some experience and knowledge from them in the process, so as to increase your own experience. Jin Mukui said appreciatively: "Knowing more people will be more beneficial to your future development!" ”
"Hmm!" Xia Yun asked again: "Brother Jin, if you join the Spirit Hunting Pavilion, can we still see each other often?" ”
"Probably not!" Jin Mukui sighed and said gloomily: "People always have to learn to grow by themselves, and no one can help you all the time." Rely on yourself in everything! Maybe I'll go to other cities when my skills improve? Who knows what the future holds? ”
"yes!" Xia Yun couldn't help but sigh that the world was impermanent.
Jin Mukui patted Xia Yun again and encouraged him: "You must work harder, we said that we would go to find the spirit sword together, can we break our promise?"
"I will!" Xia Yun said confidently.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Xia Yun came to the stone bridge in Dongcheng and waited.
Stand on the bridge and look out at the sky.
At this time, half of the sky in the east began to gradually glow white, illuminating the outline of the dark forest and the earth in the distance.
After another few moments, the sky gradually grew brighter and brighter, and began to glow red.
In the blink of an eye, the bright red sun suddenly jumped out of the dark horizon, first revealing half of it, large and round, and suddenly the sky was full of light.
In an instant, the sun had squeezed out the black line on the horizon and became golden, shrouding the darkness of forests, rivers, and the earth, as if all of them were dispelled in an instant, and the various colors of red, yellow, blue and green unfolded under Xia Yun's eyes, and ten thousand golden rays sprinkled on the Shen Xing River, reflecting the twinkling stars, sparkling and colorful.
Xia Yun was intoxicated by the beauty of the rising sun for a while, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
It wasn't until someone patted him on the back that he came to his senses, and when he turned his head, he saw Wang Xiaowu, who was panting heavily, and his big round face, which was already a little bloated, was even more red.
"Where's the wood show?" Wang Xiaowu wiped the sweat on his head and asked.
"I don't know!" Xia Yun also looked around, "Look over there, it's coming!" “
The two of them still looked towards the path into the city, and Brother Xiucai was holding his clothes in one hand and running towards here quickly.
Mu Xiucai greeted Xia Yun before he arrived, "Xiaoyun, why did you get up so early?" ”
"Alas, Brother Xiucai, you're late!" Xia Yun said regretfully.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yun pointed to the sky: "I watched a sunrise just now, it's really beautiful!" ”
Brother Xiucai immediately looked at the sky, straightened his clothes, put one hand behind his back, stretched out one hand in front of him, with a gesture of expressing his feelings, and said in his mouth: "The sky glows into the water, and the sky in the water is red for a while." ”
Wang Xiaowu didn't wait for him to continue, and hurriedly shouted: "You two don't drag the text here, it's important to cut down trees!" Otherwise, we won't be able to complete 200 today! He said we all had to lose money! ”
"That's right! It's still important to cut down trees! Brother Xiucai also immediately put away his posture of chanting poetry and quickly followed Wang Xiaowu.
"What did you bring with you?" Wang Xiaowu asked as he walked.
Xia Yun replied, "Spirit sword, spirit beast." ”
Then he took out the broken sword and showed it to the two of them, and the black and white beast was still sleeping in the baggage.
"Spirit beasts?"
Wang Xiaowu's eyes widened, and he came over to look at it and said, "So extravagant? Do you need spirit beasts? But so small? ”
Xia Yun shook his head helplessly and said, "Use it?" It's too late to offer! Don't say it's small, you can't afford to mess with it! Fat brother, what did you bring? ”
"Steamed buns, water, beef jerky! Spirit Sword! Wang Xiaowu said with a grin.
Brother Xiucai looked at him with disdain and said, "No wonder you are so fat, you really can't do without food!" ”
"Wood, what did you bring with you?"
"Spirit Sword, and a book!"
"A book?"
Xia Yun and Wang Xiaowu both looked at Xiucai in surprise.
Xiucai nodded, "What's the matter, can't it?" As the old saying goes: Read more, improve more than that...."
The two of them hurried to the front and stopped listening to him.
