344 intra-team meetings

So, I picked up the phone and called the mustache. As a result, his laughter is still very hearty, what a guy who doesn't know how to hold grudges!

"The epidemic in Yazhou has ended half a year ago, and I have already returned to the provincial capital to continue to open my store!" He laughed.

"Is it really over?" I'm still a little hard to believe.

"It's over!" The mustache confirmed.

It turned out that this matter was really due to my master. He found the hidden outlet of the Yin Vein at the foot of Lake Songtao and accurately predicted the Plague Spirit's target, which was a powerful proof of his point. Even though Jiang Xuan of Xuanqing Gate was not quite convinced by this, the Maoshan Dao Association finally adopted Master's suggestion and directly sent people to temporarily seal the Yin Vein exit under Songtao Lake.

Such a move directly hindered the ghost cultivator's haunting operation, and he had to take a detour. However, due to the fact that the identity of the plague ghost had been exposed, it failed to succeed in the next few shots, so it had to stop after barely tossing for another half a year, and then disappeared.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good! That's good! ”

"However, although this time the matter is over, another trouble has arisen!" The mustache's tone suddenly became a lot more serious.

"What's the trouble?"

"That night, Jiang Xuan of Xuanqing Gate was indeed not mistaken." The mustache deliberately lowered his voice, as if he didn't want the people around him to hear, "In the next few operations to capture the plague ghosts, it was really found that there were Yin cultivators cooperating with the ghost cultivators to make trouble. Later, we also caught one of the other party's little minions, and he confessed to the whole plan of the ghost cultivator! ”

"What's the plan?"

"Actually, we have already guessed this plan, and what he said is only to confirm this speculation. The Ghost Army plans to use the plague ghosts to first break out the virus in the suburbs of Yazhou City, and then expand to the urban area. You must know that people who die because of this ancient virus cannot directly report to the underworld for reincarnation. In that case, the ghost army can take the opportunity to control a large number of new ghosts who have just died! ”

"It's so damnable!" I couldn't help but curse.

"If their plot really succeeds and the virus spreads in densely populated areas, I'm afraid the entire Yacheng City will suffer!"

"Didn't that let them get their way? What are you talking about? "Suddenly I was a little confused.

The mustache whispered more cautiously, "Don't you understand? It is precisely because of this that the Maoshan Dao Society thinks that Yin Cultivation is completely untrustworthy, and it is even possible that it has been in the same stream as Ghost Cultivation! So at present, the relationship between the Dao Xiu and Yin Xiu families has also become more tense, and I can tell you that these are already violating the door rules! ”

"But in this matter, didn't we also contribute to Yin cultivation?" I protested.

But the mustache still sighed and said, "Alas, there is no way! Dao cultivation and Yin cultivation are not people in the same way, and mutual suspicion has always been inevitable. If there is another incident like this, it will really be even more entangled! ”

After listening to this, I could only sigh. The morals and creeds that Dao Xiu and Yin Xiu believe in are completely different, and it is already rare to be able to occasionally join forces against the enemy. If the cooperation is successful, if it fails, the previously tense relationship will inevitably break down completely. It's hard to build trust with each other, and it's even harder to break each other's guards!

I originally thought that when I returned to the provincial capital in a few days, I would stop by to talk to Xiaopuzi, but when I heard him say this, it was really not suitable to meet at this time. I don't care about myself, but it might have a bad effect on the mustache. It's rare to have a friend in the Dao cultivation world, and you can still communicate with each other from time to time, so you don't have to make trouble for him at this time.

So I continued to stay in Nanting for vacation until Long Xiaoyan finally dialed my mobile phone number. Not surprisingly, the announcement for the recruitment of mercenaries had been issued, and he still insisted on signing up, so he hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss the matter. I said goodbye to Master and my parents again, and went straight back to Yin City.

The venue of the team meeting was still chosen at the Enchantress Bar, but this time the atmosphere was not quite the same as usual, and it was really a bit serious.

"Gather everyone, the reason should be clear, right?" Long Xiaoyan asked bluntly, "The first batch of heralds of the expedition team have returned, and they have found out that the ghost bandits are hiding in the dead river. Now the meaning of the city guard is to complete the battle, recruit a hundred mercenaries at once, and then enter the dead Ze with great fanfare to suppress the bandits! ”

"This should be good news for us. The more people, the safer, and the standard of remuneration remains the same, the bounty is ten Yin Yuan for each gray ghost killed, one is one hundred, and the ink ghost is one thousand! If someone can directly assassinate the bandit leader, the bounty is 5,000! ”

"Wow! That's a lot of money! The Bird Monster screamed.

"Let's talk about it if we can get it!" Liu Yuxin sat in the corner with her shoulders crossed, seemingly not in high spirits.

"Iron Hands?" I was taken aback and asked, "Is it ......?"

"Yes!" Before Long Xiaoyan could finish speaking, he replied directly: "Tie Shou is the murderer who killed my brother, and he is also the culprit who attacked Buye's caravan!" ”

Bird Meat and I were a little shocked, but we didn't expect that the bitter master of the two of us and Long Xiaoyan's brother-killing feud were actually the same ghost!

"Boss, you say, should we sign up?" Lu Dian pounded the table hard and shouted.

Long Xiaoyan hesitated at this time, and hesitated: "This matter is different from the usual expedition missions, it involves my personal vendetta, and it is highly dangerous. If I force you to go, it will seem that I am selfish. This time, let's be democratic, raise our hands to vote, and say a word if you want to go! ”

"I definitely agree!" It was Lu Dian who was the first to agree.

"What about the others?" Long Xiaoyan continued to ask.

After a brief silence, Ximen Jian also spoke. He said: "My leg injury is about eighty percent better, although it is not very neat, but I can't miss such a good opportunity to kill ghosts." ”

When he said this, he also made a gesture to Lu Dian and Liu Yuxin, indicating that he had no intention of offending, and then continued: "What's more, if you still have money to take, count me in!" ”

"I don't want to go!" Liu Yuxin objected directly, "My injuries are not complete." And I'm not very interested in killing my own kind! ”

"I, I don't really want to go......" Bird Meat also quickly echoed, "My martial arts are not as good as yours, and people don't need me to do logistics, so it's not much fun to go......

Three-on-two, I was left alone without expressing my position, and such a major decision finally fell on me!

"Xiao Zhai, you can also talk about it. If half agree and half disagree, the action is canceled! Although Long Xiaoyan tried his best to stay calm, the disappointment on his face was palpable.

I sighed, why should I make such a big decision? My original intention was to follow the crowd, but now this situation has made me very stressed!

However, I still thought about it very seriously and analyzed it in my head. Needless to say, the danger is high, and the rewards are so lucrative that it's hard to make an accurate balance between the two. So the most crucial question is whether I want to avenge my original caravan teammates?

Except for Bu Ye, who is not a pity to die, the others have been with me for almost two years, which is the original fifteen lives!

The thought of this makes my mind a little hot. I am also a jealous and hateful person, because Tian Laolu was killed, I even went into the hungry ghost pit, did I coax it this time? Besides, Master also said that if I want to break through the bottleneck, I need epiphany and stimulation, and this kind of test of experiencing the line of life and death may be able to help me break through!

So, I said to Long Xiaoyan: "I am willing to go with you." You avenge your brother, and I will avenge the fifteen brothers who were killed in the caravan!" But this is not an expeditionary mission, and I think it should be up to the individual to decide to volunteer. If Bird Meat and Liu Yuxin really don't want to go, they don't have to be reluctant! ”

Long Xiaoyan was a little surprised by my opinion, but he still agreed.

But at this moment, the bird meat jumped out again, and shouted, "What do you mean, boy? Do you look down on me? ”

I was stunned: "Where do I look down on you again?" ”

Bird Meat waved his eagle-headed cane and shouted angrily at me, "Don't you mention those fifteen brothers!" At the mention of this, if I don't go again, it will seem that I am greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

"Aren't you just a guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Liu Yuxin said tauntingly on the side.

"I, I am! It's also good to have a sense of justice! Birdmeat's eyes widened, revealing a rare stiffness, "I was there when the caravan was killed, and they gave me this scar on my face!" Since Xiao Zhai is determined to take revenge, I have no reason not to go, count me in! ”

"What if you hang up?" Liu Yuxin still sneered.

"What if? If I'm really that unlucky, just remember to bring me the ashes back! ”

"Where do you get the ashes back and bury them?"

"It's buried here! Okay? "I'll tell Sister Ting in a moment that I'll leave her the pension, and as long as she agrees to put my ashes on the bar, I can be happy every day in the future!" ”

"Cut!"

Liu Yuxin scoffed.

"You're the only one." I didn't laugh angrily, and said to Liu Yuxin: "I see that you have been raising the bar with bird meat, because you don't want to leave yourself behind, right?" ”

"Alas!" Liu Yuxin really sighed heavily and said, "You are forcing me to go to Liangshan!" ”

"Hey! Pseudo-mother! Lu Dian also teased her, "We are all gone, who else can you play with if you stay in the city alone?" ”

"That's right! That's why we don't dislike you, a guy who is neither a man nor a woman! "Birdmeat has finally found a chance to fight back.

"I can't help it!" Liu Yuxin said helplessly.

She put her feet on the table and said lazily: "I only have one condition, let me go completely crazy tonight before signing up." I'm going to order two girls and two young masters at the same time in a while, is anyone willing to pay for me? ”

"Me!" Everyone shouted in unison. A hearty laugh erupted.

"Hahaha!"

"If you don't spend this money again, maybe you won't have a chance to spend it!"
