56. A penny stumps a hero
Daze, one of the nine directions of Chizhou, is located in the west of Chizhou.
There are many lakes, waterlands, and swamps in this area, and it is a famous water town in Chizhou, so it is named Daze. On the other hand, there are also many swamps and waterlands, but unlike the vast lakes and waterlands of Osawa, Ozawa in the northwest has the largest number of lakes, waterlands, and swamps, but it covers a small area.
Kushui Ling, one of the nine collars of Daze, is located in the southeast of Daze.
There is a vast inland lake in the territory, which is rich in several unique aquatic products, and is the main source of income for the three nearby lower cities. What is slightly strange is that the aquatic products that can be caught in these three lower cities are different: Shacheng is rich in Yuan crab, Wucheng is rich in King Shrimp, and Jiuqing City is rich in double-headed green shrimp, so there is no conflict of interests between the three cities, so the Wang clan who controls these three cities can still get along with each other relatively well, and even occasionally have interest exchanges.
The lake, which was originally able to produce so many special products, should have had a sweet and excellent water quality.
However, on the contrary, the name of the bitter water collar is all given by this lake.
This lake, the water is cold and bitter, not only mortals can't drink it normally, even ordinary monks below the Xuanxuan Realm dare not drink it raw, and except for the Yuan crab, King Kong shrimp, double-headed green-skinned shrimp and two or three kinds of fish unique to the lake, no other alien species can survive in this lake. Even the lake's water cannot be used for other processes such as irrigation of rice fields, sake brewing, etc.
For thousands of years, no one has been able to figure out why this is the case, and this kind of thing has been treated as a matter of common sense.
But in fact, the reason why this bitter water lake is so bitter is because the water quality of the lake has changed due to the pollution of the dead air from the corpse farm. It's just that because Kushui Lake is located on a huge spiritual vein, it is nourished by the aura of the spiritual vein all the year round, so it does not let the lake completely become stagnant water, and it can also raise such a special Yin aquatic product to meet the interests of the three lower cities.
The corpse breeding place under the Bitter Water Lake was originally designed as a special dungeon dungeon of snatching and confrontation in the game.
The correct way to open this quest is to brush up on Prestige at one of any of the three Lower Cities, and complete more than 1,000 city quests before receiving an investigation mission secretly issued by the lord of that city. However, because it is a robbery confrontation mission, this investigation mission will only be activated after one person from each of the three lower cities has reached this mission indicator.
The surface challenge difficulty of the dungeon dungeon is not too high, it is only a dungeon of the Mysterious Realm, but in fact, this dungeon is limited to the maximum number of people in the team to five, and it is also a snatching confrontation dungeon, so the challenge difficulty is actually very high.
The so-called snatching mission actually means that the task can be picked up by multiple people, but in fact, only one person can get the reward.
This is a kind of mission part of the game designed to forcibly create conflicts and confrontations. Therefore, in order to be able to get the final task reward, all parties involved in the task naturally have to do their best, and even produce various malicious PK behaviors.
Therefore, there are three types of looting missions.
These are unlimited looting missions, confrontational looting missions, and racing looting missions.
The first kind of snatching task, as the name suggests, is that there are no restrictions, regardless of whether the parties involved in the task are cooperating, fighting each other, or using any other means, they will not be ignored at all, anyway, there is only one reward, and whoever gets it will belong to whomever it is.
The second type is that the players involved in the mission are not allowed to cooperate, and they can only fight each other or pull other people's hind legs to solve the problem.
As for the third type, it is the opposite extreme of the confrontational looting mission. In this mode, the parties involved in the mission are not allowed to fight each other, and they are also not allowed to cooperate, each party can only rely on their own strength to complete their respective mission requirements as quickly as possible, and the final winner wins the final mission reward.
Ye Kong didn't know if if they would have a similar effect if they entered this underground palace, causing other monks to enter as well. But he only knew that in this real world, there would definitely be no such limit as completing a thousand city missions. As long as there are monks who are famous enough, then it is likely that they will be invited by the three lords of the lower city to investigate the secrets of the bitter water lake.
In his impression, Ye Kong remembered that it would take at least the third vision to appear in Kushui Lake before this investigation task would be put on the agenda by the city lords of the three lower cities.
The first time the Bitterwater Lake has a vision, according to the game's setting, it is in the player's hand on a gray and white compass.
The second vision was after the opening of the Gray Death Realm.
As for the third vision, it was after the gray death realm was cleared.
Judging from the current progress, Ye Kong was not sure if the second vision was generated, but the first vision was definitely generated.
Having lived in this world for so long, Ye Kong knew very well that he must not look at the monks in this world with the inherent thinking vision in the game. The more powerful the cultivators in the realm of strength, the higher their survival wisdom and vision will be, if they continue to follow the three visions to attract the attention of the three city lords of the Bitter Water Leader, then Ye Kong will definitely regret it very much after believing in himself.
So the current situation is how he should rush to the bitter water collar as soon as possible.
Jiao Anling is located in the south of Anfang, Kushui Ling is located in the southeast of Dazefang, and there is also a south pond between Anfang and Dazefang, if you can't find a suitable means of transportation, the journey between these two places will take at least eight or nine months. And this time is still calculated in a straight line, but in fact, it is impossible to go straight from the Anfang Jiao'an Collar to the Daze Fang Kushui Ling.
"We need a sum of money." Ye Kong frowned and thought for two days before he finally spoke, "And it's not a small number. ”
Hearing the request for money, Qingyi's face showed a helpless bitter color.
She used to be a beggar, and the most she begged for was a few copper plates, so when she heard Ye Kong say that she needed a large amount of money, she couldn't help but think of those poor days in the past. Therefore, Qingyi, who is particularly sensitive to money and food, couldn't help but say at this time, "Master, why do we need so much money?" ”
"If we want to get to Kushui Ling as quickly as possible, we must first go to Fangcheng on the Nanchi side, and then take a boat to Fangcheng on the Daze side, and then we can go to Kushuiling. Otherwise, it would be at least a year before we could reach the Kushui Territory. Ye Kong opened his mouth to explain to Qing Yi as he glanced back at Yi Ran, "Moreover, it's not just money, we also need to think of a suitable way for Yi Ran to be able to enter the city as well." ”
"Hmm, the right way?" Qingyi glanced at Yi Ran, and then said, "How about putting him in the coffin?" ”
"That's right! I actually ignored that! Ye Kong's face showed a hint of joy, "Hey, the good guy is really a little anxious this time." We disguise ourselves as corpse bearers, and as long as my ghost cultivator identity is not revealed, then we can save a lot of trouble. …… However, the most critical question is how to get a sum of money. ”
"We can sell the elixir that's left." Qingyi continued to come up with ideas.
"It's a solution, but there's not a lot of material left, and it's ...... We can't sell it here in Jiao'an. Ye Kong sighed, "Now that the four top forces in Chizhou are gathered, it was originally because of the trouble caused by these elixirs, if we continue to sell these elixirs here, then maybe we will be found out about the problem." …… Never underestimate the monks in the monastic world. ”
In Tushan County, Ye Kong sold those elixirs, and even left some flaws there.
For example, Liu Qi's sister and brother.
They were the only ones who had seen Ye Kong and knew that Ye Kong had sold these elixirs. If these two people were discovered and caught by the people of Mu Wangfu or the Immortal Sect, after some torture, I am afraid that his shadow picture would soon be passed on to all of Jiao'an's trial teams, and maybe even his identity as a ghost cultivator would be exposed.
Therefore, Ye Kong did not dare to take risks.
"Then can we go to Nanchi Fang and sell it again?" Qingyi asked again.
"Difficult." Ye Kong sighed and said helplessly, "In the nine directions of Chizhou, the influence of Mu Wangfu is the widest, affecting the four directions, that is, the ancient mountains in the east, Tianluo in the south, An in the southwest, and Nanchi in the southwest. Therefore, if we sell these elixirs in Nanchi, it will be no different from selling them in Jiao Anling, unless we ......"
"Unless what?" Qingyi hurriedly asked.
"Forget it, it's nothing, unless this is impossible." Ye Kong shook his head, "Let's find another way." ”
"Well, Master, you are so powerful, and you know so many cheats and exercises, I think...... We can also sell a martial art or something, and maybe we can make some money in this way. ”
"This is a good method, but it's a pity that the cultivation that the master is currently showing is too low, so ......" Ye Kong shook his head with a smile, and was about to tell Qingyi about the disadvantages of this method, but he suddenly stopped halfway through the conversation, "Wait, this is ...... Maybe it's a good idea, but it needs to be slightly modified to the strategy. Also, I need to do another test, and if it works, it's a way to make money. ”
"Then what are you waiting for, Master, let's go and try it!" Qingyi's little face was full of excitement.
"Well, after crossing this river, even if we officially leave Jiao'an Ling, we will walk forward for about a day, which is the sphere of influence of the Yuan Ding Xiacheng of Da Luo Ling, and we may be able to test the new experiments I have come up with in the past two days." Ye Kong opened his mouth and said with a smile, "As long as we can succeed, then we can quickly accumulate a starting capital, as long as we can go to Daze Fang, even if we have no money, we can sell all the elixirs taken out of the Hsinchu Illusion Realm." ”
"Isn't Daze Fang the sphere of influence of King Mu's Mansion?"
"Over there is the sphere of influence of Tianya Mountain Villa." Ye Kong explained with a smile, "The Snow Mountain Sword Sect dominates the north of Chizhou, Tianya Mountain Villa occupies the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers in the west, and the influence of the Muwang Mansion spreads all over the east and south of Chizhou, and these three have formed a three-legged trend on the surface. And the Changshengmen, in the territory that has been divided by these three families, can only think of destroying and making trouble in the dark like a rat crossing the street. ”
"I see." Qingyi nodded.
"So, our biggest problem at the moment is how to earn a money that will allow us to leave." Ye Kong sighed lightly, "The current situation is really a penny that is difficult for a hero." ”
