The blackened girl opened her eyes and felt like she had a long good night's sleep, and her whole body was extremely comfortable! I couldn't help but raise my hands and stretch my waist, but I felt a little cold on my body.

She glanced down. Immediately, his face darkened. Forehead! She didn't know that her face was originally black, and that there was no black place in her body!

The key to her chagrin is that her bumpy carcass is not on it!

Xiao Jiu was in the middle of the fire, and found a cluster of wild bamboos shaking not far away, and in just a few breaths, a yellow-spotted tiger appeared in his field of vision. Its bloody mouth opened wide and pounced on Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu was immediately short, grabbed an angular stone beside him, and shot straight away with a flick of his hand.

Only half a scream was heard, and a sharp horn of the stone was inserted from the tiger's forehead to the head, and the tiger died instantly.

This tiger is just a mortal tiger, and she can easily deal with it when Xiao Jiu's cultivation has just reached the first layer, not to mention that now her cultivation has reached the third layer.

She skinned the tiger and made clothes. It was only after putting on the well-fitting animal skin suit that I had the heart to observe the surrounding terrain:

It's a very ordinary hill, there aren't many trees, but thorns and trees flourish, and wild bamboo is everywhere.

What caught her attention was that around a distance of more than ten zhang from her, a very simple concealment formation was arranged. This formation is arranged by virtue of the natural trend of the surrounding grass and trees, and it can be seen that it has been arranged for a long time.

The reason why it attracted Xiao Jiu's attention was because this kind of formation was often arranged by her and Grandma in Buzhou Mountain overnight, and later after Grandma died, she was commonly used by herself, but generally she and Grandma used this formation to prevent poisonous beasts and the like in the mountains and forests from raiding at night, and the effect was very good. And here, the tiger actually appeared in this formation, which means that the intention of the person who arranged this formation is not this.

Xiao Jiu couldn't help but secretly say: It seems that Grandma's hometown can indeed be born!

Pick up the angular stone. She found that this stone was still a little strange, the appearance of this stone was somewhat similar to that of a tadpole in the field, its head volume was about the size of a large scale, the length of the tail was about ten centimeters, the stone was inky all over, very hard, with a slight hint of transparency, and the color was shiny. From Xiao Jiu's point of view, this should be a special piece of ink jade.

Xiao Jiu put it in her leather coat pocket, on the one hand, this stone is a little special and beautiful, on the other hand, she has no weapon on her, and she can use it as a handy weapon.

Come to a cluster of good-looking bamboos. Xiao Jiu looked at the bamboo here.

This clump of bamboo is not thick, it is just right to hold with your hand, and the bamboo body is straight and straight, which is the best choice to expel insects and snakes when you walk out of this mountain forest. So, Xiao Jiu grabbed a bamboo that looked good and began to run his spiritual power to prepare to pull it out.

However, Xiao Jiu was stunned after a while, because the spiritual power that can usually operate freely in the body is not at all at this time, and there is not even the feeling of spiritual energy entering the body that can be felt when the cultivation reaches the first level!

Could it be that his cultivation has disappeared? That's the cultivation she had been cultivating hard since she was six years old!

A strong sense of frustration hit her heart, and she quickly shook it off.

At least, she did arrive at Grandma's hometown, didn't she?

Because he had no spiritual power, Xiao Jiu pulled out several bamboos in a row, but he couldn't pull them out. Finally, I looked at the middle of a young bamboo with only the thickness of my little finger, and pulled it out as if I was venting.

The roots of the tender bamboo have loosened a little, but they are still firm!

"Damn, you have to bully me with a green onion-like bamboo, right?" As he spoke, he pressed Chengzhu next to him with both hands and feet, and shook it a few times before finally pulling it out.

It is said that if it is an ordinary mortal bamboo, it is no problem to pull one up with her strength, but this cluster of bamboos is motionless no matter how hard she pulls it out. It seems that there are many things in this world that cannot be understood by common sense!

Look at the tender bamboo in front of you. Its top is pointy, and even the branches and leaves have not yet grown, nor are they very long, and it is relatively reluctant to use it as a whip. Xiao Jiu had a feeling that someone was bullying her, and the sense of grievance in her heart couldn't be spoken, and her eyes were red!

After polishing the roots of the tender bamboo neatly with the ink-colored stone, Xiao Jiu walked down the mountain in a daze.

This is indeed a very ordinary mountain, except for the strange bamboo, there are not even a more powerful beasts. Xiao Jiu whipped the bamboo stick in his hand casually in the waist-high deep grass, watching the distance from the foot of the mountain getting closer and closer, and a faint voice came.

Although the cultivation was gone, Xiao Jiu's five senses and physical strength were not affected much. That's why she didn't notice anything unusual about her body in the first place. In just a few moments, she saw the figures of several large carriages and heard the chirping of women.

Xiao Jiu's heart was overjoyed, and he was ready to get closer, observe and observe, so as to act well later.

At that moment, several terrible cries came from that side. Xiao Jiu immediately paused, and saw a gray mist coming rapidly, chasing a big man in the shape of a man behind him.

Just as the gray mist was about to reach her, he turned in a different direction and disappeared into the jungle, but the big man stopped in front of her, a circle of beard around his cheeks, and the part of the skin that could be seen was red and white. Then he grabbed Xiao Jiu's shoulders and jumped away. Gallop in the direction of the carriage.

Xiao Jiu's instinctive grip on her shoulder was like a steel plier, making her completely immobile. After a while, Dahan came to the place where the carriage was parked.

"His grandmother's, that evil fog has run away, it's really unlucky!" Dahan shouted as he put down Xiao Jiu.

A slightly thinner man answered: "Big brother, you see that we haven't walked this path once or twice, which Cheng thought about encountering the evil fog, this evil fog has been more and more over the years, fortunately, this evil fog is not useful to people who have cultivation, otherwise we will be miserable!" ”

"Two masters, can 、、、 、、、" The person who spoke was a woman in her forties, who looked dressed up and should be a person who lived a good life in normal times, but now she was a little trembling, and her face was a little pale, as if she was frightened.

"Huh? Something to say! He scolded him.

"Two masters, the number of people the Li family wants this time is still one short."

The woman hurriedly continued: "Originally, we prepared twenty-two this time, and after the Li family picked up the leftovers, there will be seven leftovers, which can also be supplied to other families. But just now I lost eight. The other families are okay, this Li family is a big customer, and they can't be offended. ”

The beard frowned and was about to say something, when a young man jumped out from the other side of the carriage and said, "Huh! Uncle, did you just save this girl in Heiqiuqiu? If you can leave one from under the mouth of that evil mist, it seems that the uncle's cultivation has improved again! ”

Hearing this, several pairs of eyes turned to Xiao Jiu in unison.

The eyes of the two men who spoke first flashed with meaning. Listening to the beard, he said to the woman: "I'll leave it to you, just find a way to pass the Li family." With that, he turned and got into the front of the three carriages, and the other two men who had spoken followed.

The woman glanced at the white bones scattered on the ground, shook her head and sighed!

"Do what you have to do!" The woman said to the remaining two coachman-like men and a slightly younger woman.

After the few people left, the woman asked Xiao Jiu for a question.

"What's the girl's name?"

"Ah、、、ah、、、" Xiao Jiu cleared his throat, but he couldn't speak.

She found the language different from the language of her world. For some reason, she could understand it. But if you want to be able to speak accurately, I'm afraid you won't be able to speak for a while.

Is this the reason why some people say that grandma couldn't understand what she said back then?

"How old is that girl?"

"Ah、、、ah、、、 how 、、、、、、 big 、、、、、、ah、、、" Xiao Jiu tried hard to speak, but could only make one or two notes.

"Hey! He's a dumb man, how can this be? The woman pulled Xiao Jiu to the carriage at the back and said, "Go up, go to the inn and freshen up." ”

Xiao Jiu pulled the bamboo strip in his hand into a circle and put it in another leather coat pocket before getting into the carriage from the end of the carriage, and saw more than a dozen twelve or thirteen-year-old girls in the carriage hugging each other, trembling.

The inside of the carriage is not spacious, except for the side of the door at the tail for getting on and off the train, the other three sides have long wooden planks against the car wall, the planks are about a foot wide, and at a height of a foot from the bottom, the bottom is supported by several wooden columns, and the empty space at the bottom is filled with baggage. Since the girls were huddled in a ball, the vacant space seemed wide. Xiao Jiu sat down next to the tail.

The trembling girls saw Xiao Jiu come in, and surprise flashed in their eyes. After a long time, a bold girl in green came to her senses and asked Xiao Jiu, "Hey, are you newly sold?" ”

"Ah、、、 new 、、、 ah、、、 sell 、、、 to 、、、," Xiao Jiu repeated her voice as she tried to repeat.

"It turned out to be a mute, can such a girl be bought by Qingfeng Yaxing?" Another girl in yellow answered. Qingfeng Tooth Store is a tooth shop with immortal cultivators in charge, and every time the people who buy it are very outstanding, just like a dozen of them, which is not the most outstanding girl in the village or the local area, and it is unheard of to be as dark as this newcomer.

"Maybe it's because of the death of eight sisters before, otherwise why are you still wearing animal skins, and you don't even have any serious clothes." It was a girl in orange who spoke.

、、、、、、

In the carriage behind, fourteen girls discussed the new Xiao Jiu. The people in the carriage in front of them were also discussing Xiao Jiu.

"Big brother, looking at her like that doesn't seem ordinary, no problem, right?" The one who opened his mouth was a man of slightly small size.

"No problem, the dantian is not open, he is a mortal. The rest depends on An Niang. ”

An Niang is the older woman, the main person in their team who deals with buyers and sellers, and she is very sleek.

And a few of their immortal cultivators only need to be responsible for sitting in charge, and they generally don't need to do anything, just when the team encounters being embarrassed, show their identity as immortal cultivators, so that the transaction is smooth, and they will be a tooth person who trades with mortals, and they will not meet the advanced immortal cultivators, just in this way, they can get the income of the spirit beads of the ninth layer of the team, for immortal cultivators with low cultivation like them, it is a good deal.

At least it's much safer and more secure than grabbing resources with those high-level immortal cultivators.

And their big patron, the Li family, is the largest immortal cultivator family in Anyang City, and they only deal with the mortals under the Li family when they supply the Li family, but the harvest they can get is twenty spirit beads per person, and the income is dozens of times that of other transactions.

It's just that if something goes wrong, the loss of this business is small, and the loss of this long-term patron will be a lot less spiritual beads for cultivation. In addition, if you accidentally offend the Li family and attract the attention of the Li family's immortal cultivators, then it is not good to say that your life is at stake.

"I didn't expect that we immortal cultivators would be wary of being tooth people. The evil fog is also good, it is not good to appear somewhere, it has to appear near Anyang City, otherwise we can buy a few more to replenish. Now it's only with that swarthy girl to make do. It was the young man who spoke.

"What kind of immortal cultivator are you who have only cultivated qi, then among the immortal cultivators of the Li family in Anyang City, a person like you can be an ordinary servant at most, not even a personal one. If it weren't for the time designated by the Li family in three days, I would have to catch a few good ones no matter how far I went, but unfortunately this barren country would have to arrive in Anyang City the day after tomorrow. Big brother, why did you say that there are so few people near Anyang City? ”

"Don't think about it so much, what do you think is the place in Anyang City? It is the place where the Xiuxian family is entrenched. The mortals who can live near Anyang City are ordinary mortals, either they already have an identity, or they are mortals with no spiritual roots in the immortal cultivation family, and they can't be related to any immortal cultivation senior, and they are not something we can provoke. Now it is our luck to be able to catch one to make up enough numbers so as not to offend the Li family.

Okay, all hurry up and cultivate, and it's the right thing to improve your cultivation! ”

The two women in the carriage in the middle had a sad face, but the topic was also Xiao Jiu.

"Sister, the fifteen maids that the Li family wants are all raised, right?" The young woman asked.

"Where is it so easy! The maid bought by the Li family bid ten times as much as the others. One is twenty spirit beads, and fifteen is three low-grade spirit stones, so that those of us who run errands can also get fifteen spirit beads, which is a lot of money in exchange for gold and silver, and if I do such a big business a few more times, I will be able to go home early and play with my grandson. So in the past, the maids we sent over were the most outstanding and smart, and there were two better ones this time, which Cheng wanted to fold on the road.

Now there are fifteen of them, but the halfway old man is still dumb, and he can't see the appearance of the swarthy one. If this is done well, it will be accounted for. If you don't do it well, you may be able to get your life into it, don't forget that the masters in front of you are immortal cultivators, and our lives are not worth much in their eyes! "The spirit bead belongs to the cultivation resources of immortal cultivators, because it contains little spiritual power, so it is generally only used by low-level immortal cultivators, but it is a symbol of status among mortals. Generally, a hundred spirit beads can be equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone, but spirit stones are not something that ordinary people can have, and like An Niang, the highest cultivation resources of immortal cultivators who can usually come into contact with them are spirit beads, and spirit stones have only been heard of in legends; According to the price, a spirit bead can be exchanged for five hundred taels of silver, but who would normally exchange a spirit bead for silver!

"Sister, then we 、、、、、、" The young woman's face turned pale.

"Don't be afraid, let's talk about it after passing this first, maybe it's a good thing." An Niang comforted.
