141. Recruitment
Looking at the porcelain bottles piled up in the alchemy room, Feng Jiu was stunned and asked, "Little sister, is this ...... Is this all the elixir you have been refining for the past month and a half? ”
"Exactly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yuan Fengqing nodded and replied.
"This ...... That's at least a thousand, right? It's really amazing, I heard that the success rate of the pill pharmacist is not high, and it is very remarkable to reach more than 30%, you are ...... You have a Cheng Dan rate, more than 30% out of 80%, right? ”
Yuan Fengqing hesitated for a moment before answering, "Fifty percent." ”
"What?" Feng Jiu stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he quickly grabbed Qingyang Ding in the pharmacy, so he didn't fall to the ground in embarrassment, but he still looked at Yuan Fengqing with surprise on his face, and muttered, "No wonder His Holiness treats Xiaomei so differently, it turns out that Xiaomei is not only a pill pharmacist, but also ...... There is also such a high rate of Cheng Dan, which is really amazing. ”
"Brother Jiu has won the award," Yuan Fengqing could only smile modestly, but he was thinking in his heart about how to lead the topic to Feng Jiu's serious injury, and how to make him unsuspicious, so that he could find some clues through this matter.
At this time, Xiao Qi's shout came from outside the door, "Brother Jiu, as soon as I posted the notice, there were many martial artists who came to answer the call, did you come out to take a look?" ”
When Yuan Fengqing heard this, he thought that the opportunity had come, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Brother Jiu, why do you want to recruit people again?" Didn't you have a lot of subordinates before? ”
When he mentioned this, Feng Jiu's face immediately turned black as the bottom of a pot, "Don't mention it, it's all a bunch of waste, you can't even carry a move, and you're just a little disciple of Tianxiang Valley, if you meet something powerful, you can still get it?" With that, he strode out the door, and it seemed that he had hired someone.
Hearing the three words "Tianxiang Valley", Yuan Fengqing's heart jumped, and when she wanted to ask carefully, Feng Jiu had already gone far away, she looked at Feng Jiu's back, but she had an idea in her heart.
It was okay to go back to the room left and right, she simply followed out, and just returned to the first courtyard when she heard Feng Jiu's high-pitched voice coming, "Everyone, explain in advance, although Lao Tzu is not picky about employing people, but since you have such a high salary from Lao Tzu, you have to sign a life and death certificate for Lao Tzu, if you die in the execution of the task, Lao Tzu has nothing to do." Of course, Lao Tzu never forced anyone to do things, if you don't want to sign, you can go now, once you sign, hehe, you can't help it! ”
Yuan Fengqing's footsteps were inexplicable, and he shook his head helplessly, this Feng Jiu really spoke without brains, who would dare to do things with him in this way? Except for those fugitives who have no concern or have committed serious crimes, I'm afraid that no one is willing to give up their lives for money, right? Although she thought so, she still walked through the long alley into the front yard, but saw that the courtyard was densely packed with people, all of them were ordinary people wearing cloth clothes, among which there were fierce men, and there were young men who had not yet grown up, all of them were yellow and thin, and their bones were like fine wood, so it can be seen that they were all children of poor families, and they had to take on this errand that seemed to pay high salaries, but in fact would lose their lives in order to make a living.
At this time, because of the words before Feng Jiu, there were hundreds of people in the team were talking, some of them were hesitant, and some of them were not afraid, and they didn't know whether they were overconfident in their abilities or didn't care about life and death.
Yuan Fengqing's gaze swept over these people and let out a long sigh.
Behind him, Xiao Qi's deliberately lowered voice came, "Miss Yuan, do you see it?" How many people are not even afraid of death in order to support their families, I, although I am the lowest wage in this yard, but the safest, what is not satisfied? ”
"Yes," Yuan Fengqing pursed his lips and said, "People die for money, birds die for food, if they really sign a life and death certificate, what happens in the future, even if relatives and friends come to find it, Feng Jiu will not have to bear any responsibility, it can be seen that this is a road of no return, I really hope that they can think carefully, don't regret it in the future because of a momentary enthusiasm." ”
Xiao Qi pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly, "Look at the more than 20 brothers before, they didn't die silently, and they couldn't even find their bones, I think, there will be a lot of people left, and Brother Jiu has never recruited people so openly before, I'm afraid there will be some big action this time." ”
Hearing him mention this, Yuan Fengqing also remembered that Feng Jiu talked about meeting the disciples of Tianxiang Valley before, most of the exercises used by Tianxiang Valley were fire-based spells, and eighty percent of the servants who followed Feng Jiu before were burned into ashes by the flames, but there were no bones? And every nine suddenly recruited people publicly, is it really as Xiao Qi thought, what big moves are there to make?
She was still thinking about it, and there were already people over there who had come forward to sign life and death certificates, and a third of them had quietly left, unwilling to pay the price of their lives for the tempting wages. The courtyard was full of people for a while, so it was not lively.
Half an hour later, there were about sixty people left, mostly older men, and only one scrawny boy was still standing on the edge of the pile, looking particularly conspicuous.
Yuan Fengqing's eyes unconsciously looked at the young man, but he was stunned.
I don't know why, the young man who obviously looks so ordinary, but it makes her feel an inexplicable familiar aura, she frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly understood that this young man actually has a pure immortal aura, no wonder it feels familiar, could it be that he is a disciple of the immortal sect who sneaked in on purpose?
She was thinking about it here, and suddenly heard the sound of steady footsteps behind her, and when she looked back, the dark night after a long absence was still white, and she was slowly pacing with a gentle and handsome young face, her eyes did not stay on her, but her heart sank, and an ominous premonition shrouded her heart.
Xiao Qi, who also heard the footsteps, saw the dark night, and was so frightened that he immediately shrank his head and retreated into the corridor on the left-hand side, hiding behind a red pillar and shivering.
The dark night didn't seem to notice Xiao Qi's existence, and he didn't even glance at the corridor, his footsteps passed directly through the alley, and when he passed by Yuan Fengqing, he said, "Follow me." ”
Yuan Fengqing was slightly stunned, but he didn't dare to disobey, lowered his head and followed the dark night into the front yard, so shocked that everyone turned their heads to look over, Feng Jiu was even more shocked, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Venerable, according to your requirements, sixty-three dead soldiers have been recruited, please take a look." ”
"Got it." Dark Night replied in a faint voice, her eyes were obviously just looking at Feng Jiu, but for some reason it made Yuan Fengqing feel a hint of danger, but she didn't dare to look at the young man who was mixed in the crowd, so as not to attract the attention of Dark Night even more, just followed him to the three steps at the door of the front hall, and after the two of them stood still, Dark Night's gaze swept over the sixty-three recruited dead soldiers, and asked lightly, "You are all from poor families, and you joined the team of the deity just to support your family and earn money outside your body?" ”
Although everyone was very curious about the fierce and vicious person like Feng Jiu calling this white-clothed young man "Venerable", and his attitude was so courteous and courteous, they kept looking at the dark night with their eyes, but they still responded in unison, "Yes." ”
Dark Night nodded slightly, his gaze suddenly paused somewhere, and he stretched out his hand to point at the man, "What about you?" ”
