253 Quest [3rd Watch]
Nuomi felt as if she was practicing some kind of flying technique.
She had never learned how to fly with a weapon, but when she was inside the mountain gate, she would occasionally hear the senior brothers and uncles in the sect mention such skills.
It is said that when flying with an imperial weapon, the most important thing is not how to fly faster, but how to flexibly control the magic weapon under one's feet to fly around in the air, so that you don't crash into the tree or be knocked down from mid-air by other monks.
Even if you don't fall to your death, you'll be ridiculed by other monks.
When Nuomi heard those monks talk about this, she didn't have any magic weapons in her hands, and she didn't have the opportunity to touch them, so she just listened to them as if they were listening to stories, completely unimpressed, and didn't pay attention to them.
She just wanted to practice in advance, but she didn't have a magic weapon in her hand, so she naturally couldn't fly in mid-air, and she couldn't practice dodging up and down, left and right. As a result, it turned out that now it was good, because of such a strange existence as the Han vine in her body, and she wanted to get close to the root of the Han vine, as if the Han vine had been transplanted into the ethereal fantasy realm, so she forced her to practice flying dodge with high intensity every day.
When Nuomi suddenly realized this problem, he felt that it was a little funny. She never wanted to practice this, if those senior brothers in the past knew that she was so "diligent" that the senior brothers were scared to the core.
She was worrying about Hanteng, and one day, there was a knock on the door from outside.
She had been renting this room for a year, and except for the steward who would come to collect spirit stones every month, no one had ever come directly to the door and knocked. Ye Fan didn't count, Ye Fan broke into the door directly, and he didn't even save the effort of knocking on the door.
But she had only paid half a year's spirit stone before, and now that it was not time to pay the rent, she suddenly felt strange.
However, she was not meditating until she heard a knock at the door, and although she thought it was strange, she went over and opened the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw two monks dressed as martial cultivators standing outside, and their bodies were very strong. Seeing Nuomi open the door, the two martial cultivators both showed a look of surprise. After looking at each other, one of them clasped his fist at the glutinous rice and asked, "Are you the glutinous rice?" ”
Nuomi nodded suspiciously, and looked up at the two martial cultivators again, very sure that she didn't know these two people. But since the other party had found the door and said her name, she also stood in front of the door and listened quietly to the other party's speech.
The two martial cultivators looked at each other again, and there was a bit of "You hurry up." "Don't, you still drive." "No, no, no, it's still you".
After the two made eye contact like this for a long time, one of the Wu Xiucai finally scratched his head, turned his head again, looked at the glutinous rice, and said, "My name is Su Dingbang, and the one next to me is Cao Yinglong." We are the people of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance in this Xianyi City, and we recently wanted to take on a task of picking and hunting spirit grass, but no one on our side knew that kind of spirit grass at all. Later, when I heard Lu Zong mention you, I wanted to come over and ask, can you join temporarily and help us do this task. ”
After hearing Lu Zong's name, Nuomi knew the reason why the two came to the door. Only then did she relax her vigilance, tilt her head, and ask, "Mission?" What's the task? ”
Su Dingbang saw Nuomi's puzzled look, so he explained, "I don't know if you have noticed that there are some taverns in this Xianyi City that can take on tasks?" There are some strange tasks in it, and some people will issue tasks in those taverns with spirit stones, and most of them go outside to find spirit stones and kill monsters to get materials. That's what we do. ”
As he said this, Nuomi remembered the taverns he had seen outside, and the monks who occasionally went to the taverns to pick up work. Nuomi was very curious at first, thinking that if she had the opportunity, she would definitely go and see what they were doing, but she didn't expect that before she could put this idea into action, someone had already come to the door first.
Nuomi has been just hiding in her room to practice lately, and she hasn't been out of the room for a long time, let alone going out or something. Now listening to Su Dingbang's words, I feel that this is probably a very similar activity to the experience she participated in when she was on the mountain gate.
She was a little curious before, but now she heard the other party take out Lu Zong's name and say that Lu Zong introduced her to the door, so she immediately hesitated.
Su Dingbang and Cao Yinglong both looked like simple warriors, and probably didn't ask for much help, let alone a young female cultivator like Nuomi. Although they had already heard Lu Zong's identity mention of glutinous rice, they really couldn't do it when they saw such a young girl standing in front of them, and if they wanted to ask them to really pull down their faces and beg.
The two looked at each other again, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
But they really needed someone like Nuomi to help, so they could only stammered a little to talk to Nuomi about their mission.
It is said that this time they are going outside to find a spiritual grass called Lyria. The place where this spirit grass grows is very random, and there is no fixed pattern. Some of them grow deep in the mountains, while others grow on the edge of the trails, which is completely unexpected.
In addition to the random growth location, this spirit grass also has a rather troublesome property - in the process of growth, it will often disguise itself as another spirit grass similar to it. Although the two are not identical, people who are not very familiar with the spirit grass will definitely not be able to distinguish it from the spirit grass.
"But...... If you want to find a turnip, isn't it the same as looking for a needle in a haystack? I don't know when I'm going to find it. ”
"No, no, no, don't bother." Cao Yinglong hurriedly waved his hand on the side and said, "The person who sent the mission this time knows where there are turnips. It's just that there are a lot of demonic beasts in the middle, and he can't go over by himself, so he sent a mission. ”
Nuomi thought about it for a while, but still felt that something was wrong here, and asked, "But if that's the case, does that person recognize him?" If he's just worried that he won't be able to get by, he can ask you to be his guards and escort him over, right? ”
As soon as she asked like this, she instantly saw Su Dingbang and Cao Yinglong glance at each other, and their faces darkened.
Su Dingbang smiled bitterly, "People have spirit stones, which can make us sell our lives, where do we need to go outside to adventure in person." I also know that you are actually a person who has no shortage of spirit stones, and Lu Zong also mentioned it to us. It's just that this mission is really something we really want to take, so I cheekily came over and asked what you mean. If you don't want to, we won't force it. If you're willing to ......"
"If you want, we will protect you well, and you will never be in the slightest danger." Cao Yinglong slapped his chest next to him.
Glutinous rice was also silent immediately.
She also understood the reason why the two of them had turned gloomy just now.
What they do in this line is not so much selling martial arts as selling their lives. Those people took the spirit stones, as if they could sell their lives. The demon beast on the road must not be weak, and that place is not a good place to go, and the other party has a spirit stone, so he doesn't want to make any more effort, he just wants others to send the worm to him.
Glutinous rice instantly felt a little soft-hearted.
She was originally a good-hearted person, and she had a good impression of martial arts and physical cultivation, and seeing these two people begging to come to the door in the name of Lu Zong had already made her hesitate, and now seeing the other party with such a bitter expression, it can be seen that she really wants to take this task down.
There weren't many casual cultivators outside who really understood the spiritual herbs, most of them were like the monks in the village, and they were a little vague about how to distinguish the spiritual herbs from ordinary medicinal herbs. I don't know what the idea of the task was, but I actually released the task like this.
"It's really been a backlog of tasks for a long time." Su Dingbang explained on the side, "Since many months ago, I have been hanging on the tavern. There was really no one outside who could recognize the monks of the sect and family, and they were not willing to do the same thing as us...... If you are willing to go with us, the spirit stones distributed to you will definitely satisfy you. ”
Seeing that Nuomi was still looking down and contemplative, Su Dingbang swore on the side, "We are all registered monks with names and surnames in this Xianyi City, and before I take you out, I can sign a contract with you in Xianyi City first, absolutely guarantee your safety, and I will definitely not harm you on the road." ”
When Su Dingbang said this, Nuomi remembered that this person was likely to kill her halfway, and immediately felt funny.
She didn't say anything yet, but Su Dingbang was already in a hurry to explain everything, and even the danger she didn't expect was also said. If Su Dingbang didn't say it, Nuomi was so simple-minded, and he might not have imagined that there would be such a way to harm people halfway.
"Let me think about it." Nuomi finally didn't directly refuse the two of them, "If I want to go with you when I go back, I'll look for you again...... It's okay to just send the note paper, right? ”
"Ah...... Good, okay. ”
Seeing that the glutinous rice did not agree to it, Su Dingbang and Cao Yinglong both looked a little depressed. But they don't know if they don't have such thick skin, or if they really don't want to force glutinous rice. Although they were a little disappointed, they all just nodded and didn't say anything. This kind of attitude of not being entangled has made Nuomi's good impression of them a little better.
"We'll probably go out again in five days. Hope you ...... Think about it. Su Dingbang finally said this, and the two of them said goodbye to the glutinous rice.
After they all left the courtyard, Nuomi closed the door again under the inquiring gaze of the two martial cultivators in the courtyard.
If you want to ask Nuomi what she thinks in her heart, she would rather go out and have a look. Although I don't know where they will go, it may be dangerous, but Nuomi doesn't want to just lock up in the room and not go anywhere.
It's just that this task still has something that makes Nuomi suspicious.
Because this task is really something that she can't understand.
The person who sent the task should also know that there are not many people who can distinguish the grass from the outside of the cultivators. If you really want to know the location of the Wu, instead of going out to issue a task, it is better to gather a group of colleagues and go to that place together as Nuomi did before.
Even if you can't find someone who can go out to practice together, as long as you hire a group of guards as Nuomi said before, it is more reliable than sending out such a mission.
The only possibility is that the person who issued the task himself can't tell the difference. Or, the man didn't care about anything at all, but something else.
For example, what the man is really looking for is actually a monk who can recognize the monk.
Thinking like this, Nuomi couldn't help but laugh and shook her head again, feeling that she was really thinking too much.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally took out a pen and paper and sent a note to Lu Zong.
Someone came to the door in the name of Lu Zong, and she always asked anyway. (To be continued.)
