Chapter 174: Worried Qi Lao
The sky is gradually darkening, and the hazy mountains in the distance seem to be shrouded in a light veil, with shadows and shadows, ethereal and invisible!
In an open wilderness, figures flickered, and more and more people had gathered here.
"It's finally time to get out!"
"yes, it's really annoying to stay in this hellish place for a month!"
"This place is really weird and evil, and it's very dangerous, and I'm the only one left with me, hey, I really don't know how to explain when I go back!"
Almost all of the teenagers were mentally depressed and tired, and they were all eagerly waiting for the exit to open immediately, and they didn't want to stay here for even a minute.
However, there are also a few people who seem to be optimistic.
"Hey...... As long as I go back alive, I don't need any explanation, and Miss Li from the family next door also promised me that I would take the initiative to marry me when I went, which is exciting to think about!"
"Don't daydream, what I heard is that after you left, that Miss Li flew with the eldest young master of the Gao family!"
Someone poured a large basin of cold water on the head, and then everyone else couldn't help but sneer.
"What? How could this happen...... How unreasonable is that......"
The man was so angry that he wanted to run away immediately......
Time passed quickly, the night was getting thicker and thicker, and a bright moon had quietly climbed!
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! The exit has been opened!"
The next moment, the teenagers who had been waiting for a long time were boiling, and they rushed to the exit one by one......
At the same time, in the outside world, many families have gathered outside the valley, eagerly waiting for the exit of the cliff blessed land to open again.
However, a farce is still being played out here.
Mu Lao pointed at Xiao Mingju's nose, blew his beard and glared loudly: "Xiao Mingju, you let everyone comment, is what you did despicable?"
"Hmph, justice is in the hearts of the people!, I, Xiao Mingju, am just a businessman, and I bought that spirit beast Neidan at a reasonable price, Old Man Mu, you can't reverse right and wrong and wantonly frame the reputation of the old man and the hundred pharmacies!" After being counted down by Mu Lao, Xiao Mingju not only did not feel ashamed, but pretended to be a victim of grievance.
"You are less acting, if you obediently hand over the spirit beast Neidan, even if this matter is over, the old man will no longer care about you!"
In fact, Mu Lao didn't want to complain about that seller very much, he was only interested in that spirit beast inner pill, because he was refining an elixir recently, and he just needed a second-order top-level spirit beast inner pill.
Spirit beasts are extremely rare in the wasteland, and any of the four treasures of spirit beasts is naturally even rarer. So if you want to wait for the next opportunity, I don't know if you want to reverse the Year of the Monkey.
Xiao Mingju naturally knew what Mu Lao really thought, but this spirit beast inner pill was no longer in his hands, even if he wanted to take it out, it was impossible.
However, he is not really worried, because someone will soon come to help him.
Sure enough, at this time, there was a sudden shout! "Who is gathering here to make trouble!"
Then I saw Liu Chengmin coming quickly with a few heavily armed city guard soldiers.
I saw that Liu Chengmin's face was serious, and a pair of thief eyes kept turning, as if he was making some idea. Obviously, he had already heard why Mu Lao and Xiao Mingju were arguing.
His appearance immediately caused a commotion around him, and many people's attention was also attracted to the past, even more than the attention to the exit of the Cliff Blessed Land.
Xiao Mingju, who finally saw the savior, was secretly relieved, and he hurriedly complained to Liu Chengmin: "City Lord Liu, do you want to judge someone Xiao, I, Xiao someone, have always been law-abiding, but this old gentleman came here to find fault for some irrelevant things and tried to interfere with the conduct of the township test." ”
Now he pretended to be even more pitiful, and even pretended not to know Mu Lao, and at the same time gave Mu Lao a big hat of "interfering with the township test". Such a trick of reversing black and white is not as good as even Yue Zhongqi, and many people around him are secretly surprised.
Mu Lao was furious at this time: "It seems that you have a long ability, but I didn't expect that you will learn to bite back after only a few days! If the old man doesn't teach you a lesson, I'm afraid you will soon kick your nose in the face!"
Anyway, I'm going to copy the guy, it seems that I'm going to do it.
Liu Chengmin naturally recognized Mu Lao, and of course he didn't want to offend this old guy easily, but Xiao Mingju accused Mu Lao like this as soon as he opened his mouth, and considering that Mu Lao kept asking for the spirit beast Neidan, this made it a little difficult for him to do.
However, he, the city lord, has not been in vain for so many years, he has never seen any troubles, and he is naturally experienced, so he immediately said to the mud: "Old Mu, don't get excited, if you have something to say, don't hurt the harmony!"
"Hmph, this old boy has talked about this, and let the old man say it well!" Mu Lao then said to Liu Chengmin: "Lord Liu, you also came just in time, you came to evaluate the old man......"
So he also told Liu Chengmin briefly about the spirit beast Inner Dan, but Liu Chengmin secretly scolded in his heart: The old thing, relying on his identity as an alchemist, didn't even pay attention to the city lord, it was really hateful!
However, he pretended to be suddenly enlightened on the surface, "It turned out to be this matter, the city lord still thinks there is something great, why don't you let the hundred pharmacies compensate for a medicinal material with a value equivalent to that spirit beast Neidan to Mu Lao, there is no need for everyone to make a fuss like this for this little thing, besides, the two of them are the pillars of Qingluo City, and they are not children, why let others see the jokes!"
At first glance, what he said was reasonable and impeccable, but in fact, he was secretly biased in favor of Xiao Mingju, and it made people unable to hear anything wrong, and Mu Lao couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse.
"How can this work!" Mu Lao suddenly became angry, for him, how could the importance of this spirit beast inner pill be comparable to those ordinary medicinal materials, if he couldn't get it this time, then I am afraid it would be difficult to encounter it again.
Yue Zhongqi on the side saw this situation and secretly felt regretful, because he had already seen that there seemed to be an eyebrow between Liu Chengmin and Xiao Mingju, and it was obviously a cat.
He secretly said in his heart: "I want to demolish these two guys like a way!"
However, at this moment, the figure of Elder Spear floated in, and he said in a strange manner: "Senior Nephew Liu, it seems that you, the city lord, have failed very much!"
These words are obviously sarcastic about Liu Chengmin, but the spearhead is directed at Mu Lao, and the implication is that Mu Lao does not take Liu Chengmin in his eyes at all, so as to provoke Liu Chengmin to deal with Mu Lao.
But when Elder Mu was about to have a seizure, but when he saw Elder Spear's face, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"Spear Qiu Jun, it's actually you!" At this moment, Mu Lao's gaze staring at Elder Spear was full of strong hatred.
"Mu Yanji, I didn't expect to meet you here again!" Elder Spear also seemed to be taken aback, but a wave of anger had already burned in his eyes, mixed with mockery and contempt.
Seeing the two of them calling each other by their names, and there was a raging hatred in each other's eyes, the people around them immediately guessed that there must be a deep contradiction between them, even a deep hatred.
The two sides are like enemies seeing each other, and they are very red!
The atmosphere at the scene was also suddenly tense.
Many people quietly took a few steps back, and no one dared to talk about it wantonly, not even daring to come out of the atmosphere, for fear that it would anger a certain nerve of several big people, so as to suffer a disaster of pond fish.
And in an inconspicuous place, Granny Qi was watching this side closely, her expression a little nervous, as if she was worried about something.
"Hey, I didn't expect this old guy to run here, and he also met this despicable villain Spear Hill Jun, I hope they can restrain themselves and don't make a fuss!"
It seems that she knows the story between Elder Mu and Elder Spear very well, and she is also worried about Elder Mu.
However, she was only watching from afar, unwilling to show up, obviously having scruples.
"Spear Qiu Jun, are you here?" Seeing Elder Spear, Elder Mu almost forgot about Xiao Mingju, and at this moment he only had this enemy in his eyes.
"Hahaha...... Mu Yanji, it seems that you are going back more and more, and you don't know what kind of place this is, to tell you, this seat has been in charge of the opening of the cliff blessed land for more than ten years, and you don't know anything, it's really eye-opening!"
Elder Spear was as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world, and he was extremely mocking of Elder Mu.
"Hmph!" Mu Lao just snorted coldly, "The old man has never asked about the world, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to any cliff blessed land, and besides, I have nothing to do with you here, I am looking for him to theorize." ”
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xiao Mingju, "The old man told you, you don't want to get by!"
"Huh...... Mu Lao, Mu Lao, let's tell the truth, that spirit beast Neidan is the thing of the spear elder, how can I bring it to you!" Xiao Ming looked at Mu Lao with a smile, and that smile fully explained what is insidious and cunning.
Elder Mu suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trap, and his gaze swept to Elder Spear again.
"Mu Yanji, you are so old, and you are still yelling like a scoundrel, this seat is ashamed of you!" After Elder Spear mocked, he impatiently ordered Liu Chengmin: "Senior nephew Liu, the exit is about to open, as the city lord of Qingluo City, you have the responsibility to clean up the idle people, etc., the old man doesn't want to see anyone deliberately making trouble here, understand!"
Liu Chengmin's heart froze, and he immediately realized that Elder Spear was about to get angry, and while secretly complaining, he could only stubbornly give an eviction order to Mu Lao: "Mu Lao, please leave, once other people are as unruly as you, the township test may be destroyed, and I can't escape the blame!"
His tone was relatively mild, after all, there was no suspicion between him and Mu Lao, and he didn't want to offend Mu Lao to death.
"Oops! It seems that Mu Lao is going to suffer!" Yue Zhongqi, who has been paying attention to the development of the situation, has naturally seen through Xiao Mingju's intentions, and also knows that Elder Spear is powerful, and intends to take the opportunity to stimulate Mu Lao, once Mu Lao gets angry, the situation will definitely be more difficult to control, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for Mu Lao to get out.
"Oh no! It looks like he's going to be counted on again this time! This old fellow is really uncomfortable...... Why is there another conflict with Spear Qiu Jun at this juncture!" Qi Lao was also anxious at this moment, but she had no choice, let alone come forward casually.
At this time, if she is also involved, I am afraid that it will affect Mu Dailin, because Mu Dailin is bent on using the opportunity of this township test to join the Yunding Sect, so as to get rid of the control of the Mu family, and Spear Qiu Jun is the most critical person, and he cannot have any conflict with him at this time.
Besides, although she was an elder of the Alchemist Alliance, she could not be compared to Elder Spear in terms of strength and influence, and even if she came forward, it would not be of much use.
"It seems that you are colluding with each other to deal with the old man!" Mu Lao looked at the three of them coldly, and finally understood everything, but he had no intention of leaving.
A ruthless color flashed in Maoqiu Jun's eyes, "Mu Yanji, since you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, then this seat has no choice but to take you down regardless of the old feelings!"
After that, a strong momentum has been released.
Seeing that he was about to make a move on Mu Lao, Yue Zhongqi knew that he couldn't watch the excitement anymore, so he immediately flashed out from the side, and blocked in front of Mu Lao before Spear Qiu Jun made a move.
"Elder Spear is angry!"
Yue Zhongqi pretended to say hello with a smile on his face, and stopped Spear Qiu Jun from making a move on Mu Lao, and the reason why he appeared in such a timely manner was, of course, to protect Mu Lao and try to win him over, because Mu Lao is not an ordinary person, and being able to win over him and Duobaolou has a lot of strategic value, and this moment is the best time.
"Shopkeeper Yue, what are you doing here, do you also want to make a fuss about nothing?" Xiao Mingju immediately saw Yue Zhongqi's intentions, which made him quite annoyed.
Spear Qiu Jun could naturally guess Yue Zhongqi's thoughts, and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Yue, although this seat has a relationship with you, but you don't interfere in this matter, so as not to hurt the harmony!"
At the moment, he was quite annoyed, and there was no lack of threat in secret.
"Elder Spear, if you have something to say slowly, why make such a fuss, besides, Yue Mou just wants to ask Elder Mu for help, so I will ask Elder Spear to make it convenient!"
Yue Zhongqi was also in a hurry, deliberately changing the topic, and when he was speaking, he didn't even look at Xiao Mingju.
Then he turned to Mu Lao and said: "Mu Lao, I just remembered one thing, recently I Duobaolou acquired an ancient Danfang, the content is quite strange, I want to ask Mu Lao to take a look, if Mu Lao is interested, then go back to Duobaolou with me to have a look!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he only heard a series of loud bangs, and immediately at the mouth of the valley, that is, the entrance of the cliff blessed land, there were bursts of strange and brilliant light!
Then I heard someone shouting, "Look, the exit is open!"
This sound directly stimulated everyone waiting around, and everyone's eyes instantly looked at the light curtain, and soon, a figure loomed in the light curtain!
"Someone has finally come out!" another shouted excitedly.
At this moment, Yue Zhongqi hurriedly grabbed one of Mu Lao's arms and said in a low voice: "Mu Lao, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, leave quickly with me!"
Mu Lao also came back to his senses and realized that there was a lot of trouble, and he had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to get out once Spear Qiu Jun was really desperate to make trouble.
