Volume IV - Chapter 41 Ethnic Minorities
Seeing Zheng Jingzhao's arrogant temper, Liu Baibai couldn't cry or laugh, but thinking that what Ah Zhao was going to say was not serious, otherwise he wouldn't have said that, so she didn't continue to ask what she didn't want to say.
And after the food was delivered, the two of them began to eat a lot, and it was not until they were full of food and drink that they really talked about business.
Liu Baibai supported his chin with one hand, his slender eyelashes lowered and looked at the fine porcelain pastel flower and bird tea cup held in the other hand, the tea leaves in it were floating and sinking like the flowers and birds playing and swaying slightly, and the sunlight outside sprinkled into the table through the empty basket on the window, shining like broken gold in the air, and the fine dust in the air exuding a little golden light.
"Ah Zhao, have you gained anything around here in the past six months?"
Zheng Jingzhao took a shallow sip of the hot tea in the cup when he heard the question, moistened his lips before he spoke: "In addition to taking that branch task in the past six months and investigating the situation around here, I also took on a task of killing demon cultivators. ”
Liu Baibai's eyes widened when he heard Zheng Jingzhao say the task of killing the demon cultivator: "Kill the demon cultivator? ”
Zheng Jingzhao nodded, and his expression instantly turned cold at the mention of Demon Cultivation, and his eyes flashed with a cold firelight like a sword ready to strike: "The boundary around here is sensitive, you know." It's easy to have the kind of demon cultivators who don't follow the rules and enter the demon to cross the line, and although we righteous monks have always tried our best to protect those mortals, there are always one or two demon cultivators who can get into the loopholes. The demon I was on a mission to kill was to build a foundation period of cultivation, but I killed all the people in a nearby town and brought a living person to refine the corpse, and then disappeared after killing people."
Liu Baibai looked at Zheng Jingzhao, the living person refining the corpse, which reminded her of the matter of the witch Gu flower back then, as well as the demon cultivator she met in the secret realm: "Ah Zhao, you...?" ”
Zheng Jingzhao nodded, closed his eyes and said, "I checked for a long time, and finally found out where he appeared."
Zheng Jingzhao's eyes were slightly red and angry when he mentioned that place, he unconsciously raised his hand to suppress the frowning brow that he didn't know when, closed his reddish eyes and sighed: "The picture I saw when I found him at that time really made people angry and sad to the extreme. It reminds me of the secret realm we entered back then, the Blood Pool Flesh Forest. My master said that my sword needs to be sharpened, and that I should kill those I feel deserved. Cultivate a tacit understanding with it and raise a sword soul. And this kind of person who treats human life like a mustard should be killed. ”
Zheng Jingzhao pursed his lips and said, "A few days before you came, I had already solved it. ”
That's all there is to it. Zheng Jingzhao opened his eyes and said calmly: "I really don't understand, how can Ah Fu be willing to live with a scum like Demon Cultivator, I just hope that everything is as we think, he has a hard time." Alas"
Liu Baibai also sighed: "I also believe that he has a hard time." ”
Because they are good friends, they hurt each other. But until the last minute, they still choose to believe each other, at least that's what they think.
When it comes to demon cultivation, the mood of the two of them is not very good, after all, the matter of Yuan Fuyi's departure back then, and then the fact that his father was killed in the secret realm, are inseparable from demon cultivation. Although Zheng Jingzhao promised his father not to take revenge and not to live for revenge, it does not mean that he will give up if there is that opportunity, on the contrary, if there is that opportunity. She believed that Zheng Jingzhao would definitely choose to kill with one blow.
The scene fell silent for a while, and Jiukong just nestled in the chair and didn't speak, wagging his tail slightly from side to side.
Zheng Jingzhao raised his hand and wiped his face, took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Liu Baibai, and asked in a brisk voice: "What task did you take on in vain?" ”
Liu Baibai also wanted the atmosphere to be lighter, and his tone became more lively: "I took over the task of eliminating demons from a distant village, located in Tongming Village, and that small village sent a distress message a few days ago, and the message was intermittent, to the effect that there was a demon beast attacking. Later, there was no news from the village, and several people were sent to the foundation building period but no one returned, and after realizing that the situation was serious, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance sent a mission to each faction, and I happened to see this task at that time and took it. ”
Zheng Jingzhao nodded and asked, "Do I want to go with you?" ”
Liu Baibai smiled and shook his head: "No." It should be enough to have me and Jiukong's two golden pills. If so, I'm sending you a summons. ”
"Okay, this is for you, it's an analysis map of the forces around here, it should be helpful to you." Zheng Jingzhao changed hands and handed Liu Baibai a jade slip.
Liu Bai smiled and took it: "Well, thank you!" Then he stood up and straightened his robe. After the two walked to the door of the restaurant, Liu Baibai waved goodbye to Zheng Jingzhao.
"Then I'll go and do this task first, and when I'm done, I'll send you a summons."
Zheng Jingzhao stood at the door and looked at Liu Baibai, and waved his hand: "Well, goodbye." ”
Liu Baibai smiled: "Goodbye, let's go." And Jiukong, who was on Liu Baibai's shoulders, also had gray claws on Zheng Jingzhao.
Then, in just a few seconds, Liu Baibai disappeared into the distant side of the street, and Zheng Jingzhao looked at the disappeared side from a distance, slightly in a daze. Then he came back to his senses, wiped his face, and went in the opposite direction to Liu Baibai, but suddenly disappeared into the crowd.
***
Tongming Village, it takes about three days to take a flying magic weapon from Xiaoxiao City.
Liu Baibai and Jiukong were nested in the lotus treasure boat, and they were using the development disk to look down and study the map and distribution of the area.
On the tabletop, the aura of light in the air clearly shows the surrounding terrain.
Extending from Dawn City to the west, the west of the Black River is the Demon Domain, which is the farthest away of several towns near the Demon Domain, and the Tongming Village that Liu Baibai is going to is located in a small village that is more remote from the Demon Domain. Next to that small village was the Black Wind Forest, the only vast forest connecting the Demon Domain and the Black River, and almost no one could make it out of the Black Wind Forest alive. It was dark and damp, perennially shrouded in a mist and humidity, and it was full of all kinds of birds and beasts, and from time to time strange cries came from inside.
And the Tongming Village next to the Black Wind Forest is inhabited by the ethnic minorities of the Yunjian Continent, the Takya people, who practice witchcraft instead of the immortal techniques used by immortal cultivators, and are one of the few people who can come out of the Black Wind Forest alive.
Every day, they would enter the Black Wind Forest to collect a kind of black yin sap from the Black Wind Forest, which was an indispensable refining material for the forging of certain magic weapons, and also an essential material for them to practice witchcraft. At the same time, only the people of Tongming Village have a way to collect the sap of the Black Yin Tree, who live on this land all the year round and live next to the Black Wind Forest, and are the ethnic minorities who are most familiar with the Black Wind Forest on the Yunjian Continent.
