Chapter 136: Fate Hangs in the Balance
"Phoenix grass," Bai Changfeng said, pinching the phoenix grass he snatched from the two psychic masters in his hand, "According to the book, Phoenix grass can invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, reshape muscles and bones, and it is a rare ......."
"Bone-setting medicine."
"Huh?" Ruan Fei's mouth was open, and his throat tube was about to be seen, "Are you sure you're talking about the phoenix grass that so many people have worked so hard to grab, not beef bone soup?" Ruan Fei didn't believe what Bai Changfeng said, and turned to Liu Peiqing for help, but she didn't expect Liu Peiqing to also nod and agree with what Bai Changfeng said.
"That'...... And you're still pulling us all the way over? Thanking Changfeng's attitude of "even if I buy clothes, I have to see Phoenix Grass" today, Ruan Fei was so angry that she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Do you know how much it costs to rent this house, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation." ”
Bai Changfeng couldn't think of a better reason for a while, but Ruan Fei was now on the verge of anger, and he had to turn his brain. He closed his eyes tightly, firstly to avoid Ruan Fei's eyes that were about to breathe fire, and secondly, to seriously look for a suitable reason.
The moment before Ruan Fei's fist was about to fall on his head, he finally guessed a particularly important use of the Phoenix Grass, which may also be the reason why the two psychic masters swore to protect their Phoenix Grass to the death.
"I thought of it!" Bai Changfeng shouted, Ruan Fei's hanging fist was put down, and Bai Changfeng hurriedly said: "This phoenix grass is a necessary material for refining an elixir!" ”
Pills? Ruan Fei's heart seemed to have been hit hard, and she was suddenly stunned. This small action was seen by Liu Peiqing, but he didn't pierce it, and continued to lower his eyes and look at the cup of tea in his hand.
Bai Changfeng said what he had just thought of, the key use of phoenix grass: "When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I heard that the price of this phoenix grass is very high, and the market is also in short supply. But it grows in a special environment, which is only found in White Phoenix, and I wanted to come here to make a fortune at that time. ”
Ruan Fei was puzzled: "Then you should have been here, why don't you even know where the phoenix grass grows, and you still want us to ask people?" ”
"Heck, isn't it because I was poor at the time and couldn't afford to pay for the journey?" Bai Changfeng picked his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Later, I did make some money, but I settled in Tayun City again, so this matter was put on hold. ”
Ruan Fei blinked her eyes and asked Bai Changfeng: "Let me take the liberty of asking, when did you come out to explore the rivers and lakes?" Bai Changfeng doesn't look very old, but he often says that he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, which makes Ruan Fei have to be curious about his age. Bai Changfeng smiled and compared a number.
"You're thirty!?" Ruan Fei was surprised, Bai Changfeng's face fell, and he stretched out his finger in front of Ruan Fei, and emphasized: "Twenty-three! Got it! It's twenty-three! ”
Guessed that at the age of thirty, do I look so old? Bai Changfeng touched his face, it was white and tender, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person in his thirties!
Ruan Fei made an apologetic gesture, glared at Changfeng Beard, and continued what he had just said.
"The first time I learned about the phoenix grass, I saw it from my master's tree, but at that time I didn't know that this grass could be sold for so much money, and I thought that someone was manipulating it in the dark. Later, I heard from other psychic masters that the Phoenix Grass Alchemy Pill can live the dead, flesh and bones, and the current price is all after the White Phoenix City carefully protected the valley, and the Phoenix Grass grew in large quantities, so it dropped to the current price. ”
Ruan Fei felt that something was still wrong: "If this phoenix grass is really so powerful, I think it should be sold for more than this price." "A thousand taels of silver can save a person's life? Ruan Fei didn't believe it, after all, she had more money in her hands than that.
Bai Changfeng waved his hand: "These are also what I heard, what the psychic master said, how do I know if it is true or false." Anyway, I only believe what is written in the book now. In fact, Bai Changfeng didn't believe it at all, he wanted to come to this place to look for phoenix grass, but he just wanted to study how amazing this thing was, and it was worth drilling here with so many peers.
This White Phoenix is really cold.
Late at night, Ruan Fei didn't sleep well and woke up from bed. The words of the severed hand monk kept echoing in her mind: "We monks are just tools that have been refined into elixir!" This sentence was like a nightmare, and it had been haunting Ruan Fei's heart for a long time.
When he was in the inn before, Liu Peiqing also mentioned that the reputation of psychic matchmakers in the rivers and lakes is not good, and the biggest reason is that they will conduct inhumane experiments in order to study aura. When he was still in Cloud City, the psychic matchmaker that Ruan Fei knew, except for the Feng Duxiu of the Silver Moon Society, was the only one who worshiped Changfeng.
To say that Bai Changfeng is that kind of person, Ruan Fei doesn't believe it. She knew how serious Bai Changfeng was about her relationship with Liu Peiqing. But in this world, there is more than one psychic practitioner who worships Changfeng......
"Alas......" Ruan Fei sighed and sat up from the bed. Before going to bed, Bai Changfeng also deliberately emphasized that he would go to the valley tomorrow to look for phoenix grass, Ruan Fei adhered to the mentality of spoiling this stupid boy, and agreed, Liu Peiqing had no objection, and Bai Changfeng went to sleep happily.
Today in the valley, Ruan Fei lied to Liu Peiqing, and she still had a heart in her heart. Although she can do all kinds of shameless things for her own interests, for Liu Peiqing, the psychological burden after lying is still quite large.
Ruan Fei put on a coat and walked through the living room, wanting to talk to Liu Peiqing. As she passed by the living room, Ruan Fei felt that something was missing. Now there is no light in the living room, Ruan Fei can only see the dark cloud, and her own shadow in the moonlight.
"Boom-" Ruan Fei didn't hesitate to ignite the aura in the palm of her hand, and found that the two psychic matchmakers who were tied to the living room by them just now had disappeared, leaving only a piece of rope and clothes behind.
"What's going on?" Ruan Fei walked over to inspect and found that there were many broken ropes scattered on the ground, and the two psychic matchmakers didn't know what method they used, so they actually cut the rope by themselves, took off their clothes and ran?
Suddenly, there was a sound behind Ruan Fei, and a strong murderous aura struck. Ruan Fei bounced up from the ground with her legs hard, only to hear two "whoosh" sounds, and two darts fell on the ground and plunged straight into the ground.
"Who!" Ruan Fei let out a loud shout, and the firelight floated in the air, illuminating the man's face. The man was dressed in black, wearing a mask, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Ruan Fei narrowed her eyes and carefully examined the visitor, but only found a black mole in the corner of the person's eye.
The man in black failed to sneak attack Ruan Fei, and showed the weapon in his hand - it was still a sword. Ruan Fei was speechless, how could she use a sword, she had already known that she would make a knife for herself with a smile.
The sword was ordinary, but the more ordinary the weapon, the more suitable it was for the Assassin class. It has no characteristics, it is not easy to be remembered, it can blend into various places, and disappear quietly after it is done.
The speed of the man in black is average, but his moves are fierce and vicious, and with the hidden weapon in his hand, he did not fall behind when he was hard at Ruan Fei. Ruan Fei didn't use aura, she was interrupted when she wanted to use the [Nine Heart Immortal Technique] today, and now is a good opportunity.
The sword of the man in black was infused with aura, but it was not much, not even as good as the aura of the sword itself in Ruan Fei's hand. Between hand-to-hand combat, there was a crisp sound. The black-clothed man was agile and could catch Ruan Fei's moves under Ruan Fei's rapid onslaught.
It seems that swordsmanship alone still doesn't work. Ruan Fei thought to herself. After understanding that her skills in this area still needed to be honed, Ruan Fei did not need to continue to try. The aura of the sword was filled in an instant, and the sword body turned from snow-white to red, and under the background of the moonlight and firelight, it was even more enchanting.
The man in black looked at him and realized that Ruan Fei was not so simple, and he had the intention of retreating. How could Ruan Fei let him get out easily, the sword in his hand forced him step by step, and he forced the man in black back into the corner.
Victory was in sight, and the corners of Ruan Fei's mouth hooked: "Look where you are still running." But at this critical juncture, Bai Changfeng actually opened the door of his room.
His door was right behind the Man in Black.
Bai Changfeng rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked vaguely: "Why are you so ......noisy in the middle of the night?" As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Changfeng saw a black figure in front of him, startled, and hurriedly retreated, wanting to close the door again, as if none of this had happened.
The hostages in hand, how could he let him fly!
The man in black didn't turn around, and with a force of his elbow, he pushed open the half-covered door of Bai Changfeng, and then turned around and grabbed Bai Changfeng's hand, and with a force, he twisted Bai Changfeng's hand behind him, and then the sword was put on his neck.
Before Ruan Fei could rush over, the man in black had already succeeded. Ruan Fei could only stand in place, looking at the black-clothed man in front of him hatefully, the sword in his hand clenched tightly.
"This ...... What's going on? What about those two psychic matchmakers just now!? "Bai Changfeng has a rather unfazed demeanor at this time, his neck is still in the hands of others, and he is still in the mood to care about those two peers?
The man in black snorted, and Ruan Fei heard it, it was a deep male voice. The man in black said, "Your companions have already seen Hades, but don't worry, you still have value to use, and you won't be able to join them for the time being." ”
This Hei Yi threw out that he knew that Bai Changfeng was also a psychic master, Ruan Fei thought in his heart, then he should have seen it, or knew about Bai Changfeng. Ruan Fei recalled the people she had met today, and couldn't think of anyone who would take advantage of this relationship, or rather, use a psychic matchmaker.
Ruan Fei's brows furrowed, the man in black felt that something was wrong, and if he stayed here any longer, his identity might be exposed. He put Bai Changfeng in front of him and slowly switched positions with Ruan Fei. Ruan Fei was worried about Bai Changfeng's life, so she didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only follow the wishes of the man in black.
Bai Changfeng was also tense all over his body now, and his hands were raised above his head, showing weakness to the man in black. But this obviously doesn't do much for an outlaw.
When the man in black finally came to the door again and had a chance to get out, Bai Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that he could finally regain his freedom. Who knew that the man in black didn't plan to let go of Changfeng. He laughed, and the sword in his hand actually slashed towards Bai Changfeng's neck.
This scene brought a huge impact to Ruan Fei: "I want your life!" Ruan Fei yelled, coinciding with the screams coming from behind the man in black. The moment Ruan Fei saw the sword of the man in black move, the aura that erupted from his body rushed to the feet of the man in black, and when he came back to his senses, the worship Changfeng in his hand was already out of his control.
In front of him, there was only the long sword that was bright red.
After only hearing the sound of "swish" twice, the body of the man in black was broken into three pieces.
After the body of the man in black fell, Ruan Fei saw that Liu Peiqing had already appeared outside the door without knowing when, and the Qingshuang knife in his hand cut off the waist of the man in black.
The frightened Bai Changfeng had just been able to catch his breath when he heard the sound of a piece of meat falling to the ground. It was the first time he had seen such a cruel death, and the powerful visual impact made his stomach tumble and vomit on the spot.
Ruan Fei looked at the corpse of the man in black in front of her, and her frowning brows had not yet loosened.
