Chapter 182: Hu Lingling
"What else?" Chu Xiqing thought that this information was useless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Hua Ting shook his head, "There is also a short passage that just says that Master has seen a phantom in Yuanmufang City by the East China Sea, and at that time he was in a hurry, and there seemed to be something unspeakable. ”
"The East China Sea is not near the Somo tribe's station, it seems that the ancestor saw a phantom when he stayed there."
"It should be." Hua Ting nodded.
"We may need another trip to the East China Sea."
Whether it is the merman, the Blue Devil Dao, or the relationship between the real person and the phantom, they all point to the East China Sea, and what is the origin of the mysterious Suomo tribe, it seems that it is worth exploring.
After turning over the codex completely, they felt that the information was still not enough, and the two began to look for other records in the library pavilion, but in the end there was no other gain, and they were somewhat disappointed.
"Why is this codex in the Library?" Chu Xi felt strange.
"I also feel strange about this, but Master has left a lot of things, and it's not uncommon to miss one or two things once in a while."
Now that the whereabouts of the phantom have been found, the matter of exploring the East China Sea has also been put on the agenda.
After discussion, it was still Hua Ting and Chu Xiqing who went, Hua Ting was experienced, and Chu Xiqing had contact with the people of the Suomo tribe before, so it was convenient to communicate. Because I went to the East China Sea several times, the preparation was relatively fast, and I could start without too much delay.
It's just that before leaving, there are some things to deal with, especially the matter of the library pavilion.
Because it is not appropriate to hand it over to others, it is fortunate to hand it over to Gu Yanran, one is that she will definitely be able to implement the various new systems set by Chu Xiqing, and the other is that she is the daughter of the head, those who gossip must have some scruples.
Gu Yanran didn't think this was a good thing, and she blamed Chu Xiqing for throwing a trouble at her.
"When you go to the East China Sea this time, although you have the protection of Uncle Hua, you still have to be more careful." Gu Yanran also knew some things about what she had seen and heard in the East China Sea, so she gave a thousand instructions to Chu Xiqing.
"Don't worry, I've been there several times." Chu Xiqing comforted her vigorously.
"It's true, you are obviously lower than me, but you have to be busy with such an important matter, which makes me feel a little jealous and a little distressed." Gu Yanran is straightforward and affectionate, so she is not shy about these inner feelings.
"You can help me deal with the affairs of the Library Pavilion, don't think so much, I will bring you a gift back." Chu Xiqing's tone was as relaxed as possible, but in fact, she also knew that she might run into trouble this time.
The trip to the East China Sea was already quite familiar, and the two soon arrived at the distance, first to see the stone statue made by the ancestor for his old friend Kemo, and then to see that although the stone statue was lifelike, but not finished, I couldn't help but have a different kind of sour feeling. The two of them stayed here for a while and then went to Fang Market to look for the Somo people who usually sold there for a living. After looking around and not seeing it, Chu Xiqing came to the place where he bought the Qiankun bag for the first time by impression. When the people next to him heard them ask the Somo people, they knew a little, "Their things are strange, and some people have come to inquire, if you want to find them, just wait, the time when the Somo people come to sell and buy things is uncertain." ”
There was nothing to do left and right, and while waiting for Hua Ting, he chatted with the businessman next to him. The man was also bored, chatting with Hua Ting and talking a lot about the Somo clan.
Because he always does business next to the Somo people, and he also helps them explain it to some extent, so he has learned some Somo language, can communicate with them briefly, and knows some things about the Somo people. The spiritual power of the Somo people is weak, although everyone cultivates, but the level is not high, many people still have to rely on food to make a living, so they have to go to the sea to fish every day, and the trading in the market is not the main livelihood, and their things are not much of an advantage in price and quality in addition to being more delicate and strange, so they are not very popular, and the time when the Somo people come is uncertain. Although those people are not lump sums of business and do not speak a common language, they are very kind, do not like to participate in contentions, do not make noise when they are assigned to bad land to do business, and are kind to the people around them, so some people are willing to take care of them.
Chu Xiqing thought that this was also the way of survival of the Somo people, they were already weak, and it was useless to be strong, it was better to show weakness, and they would not be troubled.
As he spoke, a girl from the Somo tribe came, and she skillfully took out the goods from the Qiankun bag and laid them out, without even looking at Hua Ting. waited for the things to be put away before he began to greet them, and to their surprise, although this girl Chu Xiqing had never seen it, she could speak their lingua franca.
Chu Xiqing asked her about Xiaoqian, and the other party was obviously a little surprised.
"You know our priests?" Hu Lingling's eyes widened, she was clever, learned some lingua franca, could bargain with others, and had a certain amount of force, so she was sent by the clan to sell goods and earn a few pocket money by the way.
Chu Xiqing remembered that Xiao Qian seemed to have said that she was a priest of the Suomo tribe, and nodded at this time, "She also gave me a codex, and I came to find her this time." ”
"The priest has something important to do lately, and he has been staying in the clan, so he may not be able to come out to see you."
The Suomo clan does not welcome outsiders to enter, so there is no way to do it, so he can only helplessly watch Hua Ting ask for help.
"We're here to tell you about your former priest Moko, and I want you to pass it on to your priest." Hua Ting's tone was serious.
Hu Lingling looked at the two people suspiciously, and his tone changed helplessly, "It's just that I'm soft-spoken, it's not easy to see the priest, I'm afraid it's difficult to help you." ”
Hua Ting is an old man, how can he not see the perfunctory meaning of the little girl, so he can only continue to say seriously, "I have no intention of bothering me, but some things I know are related to the Suomo clan, and I am afraid that it will not be good for you." ”
This frightened Hu Lingling, who had little experience, so he panicked, "Don't leave yet, I'll go back and find someone to see if I can contact the priest." ”
Chu Xiqing shook her head beside her, although this girl was capable enough, she still couldn't resist Hua Ting's nonsense.
Looking at Hua Ting again, he said seriously at this time: "In this way, let's find a place to settle first, and you come back to the inn to find us." ”
Hu Lingling was worried about things, and left without doing business.
It's not big in the distance, it's just such an inn, and after it is settled, the two of them chatted about what happened just now.
"You shouldn't have scared her so much just now, she's still a little girl." Chu Xiqing was a little reproachful.
"Extraordinary times are extraordinary means." Hua Ting poured her a cup of tea.
In the past, these things were done by Chu Xiqing, serving the seniors as a junior, but now Hua Ting felt unaccustomed to it at first glance, so Chu Xiqing hurriedly stopped the other party, "I'll do these things." ”
