Volume 1 Chapter 22 Local tyrants

After being tortured by Kong Sangmo for a month, Lan Jiu felt that sleeping and dinner were the best things in the world, and the others were floating clouds. Kong Sangmo took out a scroll and spread it on the table, his sleeve-length fingers pointing at the scroll: "Hmm~ It's time to find some bounty tasks for the two of you to do." ”

Lan Jiu came over curiously: "Looking for it here?" Don't go to the bounty office? ”

Kong Sangmo's expression was even more surprised than her: "You haven't been buying the bounty list all the time, right?" ”

It turns out that this scroll is called the bounty list, which is a peripheral product of the bounty order, just like a mobile bounty order, with spiritual power, you can check the tasks on the bounty list door anytime and anywhere, and you can directly receive the bounty order if you select it. On the same day, there will be a black bird to deliver the token to the recipient.

Of course, these are all for silver, the bounty list is two hundred taels, and Xuanniao will give a token of five taels of silver.

Lan Jiu let out a long sigh: "It's good to be rich, no wonder we couldn't get the task when we went to the order office early in the morning before, and it turned out that those rich people who used scrolls gave us the first step." ”

Kong Sangmo chose a task, and after a while, a Xuanniao flew in from the window, threw down a token and flapped its wings and flew away.

"Wu Shaokui?" Kong Sangmo looked at the token, took out a somewhat yellowed book, flipped a few pages to find it, and read: "The big snake, non-poisonous, is common in the mountains and weeds, and likes to transform into a strong and powerful person when cultivating and forming." The demon likes to absorb the essence of children, the scales are hard and difficult to attack, hates the smell of alcohol, and likes to eat eggs. Temperamental, needless to say, attack it! ”

Lan Jiu took the book and turned a few pages, and mourned: "I don't understand the world of local tyrants, this is simply cheating." Every time Aman and I go on a mission, we are confused. I can't imagine that you rich people can know the root of the book at home. ”

"Huh?" Kong Sang Mo was puzzled: "You don't have "Hundred Demon Records"? This book was written by a master named Rotten Melon Seeds, and he didn't need money, and all factions printed it for free by themselves. I still gave it to someone else. ”

Lan Jiu kept the "Hundred Demon Records" in his arms: "If you don't want money, then you can give it to me." ”

"Well, this bounty list will be given to you too." Kong Sang Mo stuffed the bounty list and tokens into Lan Jiu's arms, and in his eyes, these things were no different from broken copper and iron.

"I don't want it, then Xuanniao will give a token of five taels of silver, I can't afford it." Lan Jiu resisted, as if the bounty list would be hot.

"Oh, take it, I charged this bounty list with a thousand taels of silver, which should be enough for you to use for a while. Oh, they seem to have sent an extra two hundred taels, I don't remember, it's enough for you anyway. ”

Can you still top up? And with the bonus benefits? Lan Jiu suddenly found that her understanding of this world was really too little and too little.

Before going out, Kong Sangmo carefully put two jars of drunken and a basket of eggs in Lan Jiu's Qiankun bag, and helped her and Aman tidy up their hair and clothes, and said reluctantly: "Pay attention to safety, make an exception tonight, and when you come back, I will cook for you." Don't be greedy for fun on the road, go early and return early. After speaking, he said to Ah Man seriously: "Take care of Xiao Jiu'er, if she is injured, be careful of your skin." ”

Got it, Mom! Lan Jiu said secretly in his heart, with a sweet smile on his face, he waved his hand and took Ah Man to Bailing Village at the foot of Yinling Mountain.

Bailing Village is famous for larks, and it is said that the first lark to cultivate as an adult was born here, and it is also known as the king of larks. As a result, hundreds of spirit birds are attracted to inhabit here, and the birds are singing all day long. The mortals of this lark village are protected by the king of larks, safe and smooth, and every household is grateful for the kindness of the king of larks, and has special reverence for larks. Bird's nests are hung in front of each house for larks to live in. Grains are also provided daily for larks. If there are many larks in front of any house, it is a symbol of auspiciousness, and the whole village respects and treats the family more.

When Lan Jiu and Ah Man arrived at Bailing Village, what they saw was that there were three or five bird's nests hanging in front of each house, but now they were all empty nests due to the scourge of Wu Shaokui.

As soon as the people in the village heard that a cultivator had come to deal with Na Wu Zikui, they all gathered around the village chief's house. As soon as he heard Lan Jiu ask about the situation of Wu Shaokui, he began to chatter non-stop, it was really like a hundred birds together, and he couldn't hear a word clearly.

"Be quiet, be quiet, I said everyone be quiet." The village chief roared three times in a row, and everyone quieted down little by little, but as soon as they quieted down, they all discussed in a whisper. Although it was still noisy, I could hear the village chief clearly.

"I don't know where this Wu Shaokui came out, he really did a lot of evil, he ate all the lark eggs, and the larks in our village were frightened and fled, what is Bailing Village called Bailing Village without larks......" The village chief sighed, looked around at everyone, and said sadly: "That's not all, it also sucks children's spirits, and now more than a dozen children have lost their spirits, and they are stupid and chaotic all day long, and they are sleeping most of the time." You have come just in time, and you are quick to kill the beast. The more the village chief spoke, the more angry he became, and the last few words were almost uttered through gritted teeth.

Lan Jiu looked around at everyone, and sure enough, he saw several women with red eyes, thinking that they were the mothers of those children who had lost their souls. Mothers in the world are like this, Lan Jiu thought of her mother, when she was a child, she was naughty and injured, and her mother also gave herself medicine with red eyes. In this way, he had a hatred for that Wu Shaokui, and what bad did he do to an innocent child.

Glancing at the map of the king of the hundred spirits enshrined in the village chief's house, he thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it said that there is the king of the hundred spirits protecting the village, how can you still let that Wu Zikui do evil here?" ”

For a while, all the chattering people were quiet, and they all stared at the village chief in a daze.

The village chief replied with a twinkle in his eyes: "This ...... We don't know what's going on, but it seems that when the Wu Zikui appeared, the king of the hundred spirits was gone. ”

"What do you mean it's gone?" Lan Jiu's heart was full of doubts, these people must have something to hide from themselves.

"Oops." The village chief frowned: "If it's gone, it's gone, the lark has wings, and it may fly to other places." Can you deal with that Wu Shaokui, if not, we will find someone else. ”

After listening to the village chief's words, the others immediately started to heckle.

"It's just that I don't have much ability to look at these two people."

"What kind of reward order is issued, let's go directly to the cultivators of the Xuanjian Sect, my second uncle's fourth cousin knows the people of the Xuanjian Sect."

"Yes, yes, let's find someone from a big sect."

"The tasks of the major sects are lined up, can the fourth cousin of your second aunt speak? If I have to wait three or five months, then my good boy is not hopeless. ”

Seeing this, Lan Jiu was also afraid that these people would return the reward order, so he hurriedly said: "Isn't it just a black Kui, we naturally have a way to deal with it." It's just that if you don't ask clearly, I'm afraid that things won't be done cleanly, and you children who have lost their souls don't want to be saved? ”

As soon as she said this, a woman pushed away the others and rushed to her, and with a pop she knelt on the ground: "Girl, save my family, he is only six years old." Our family is such a lone seedling, if he doesn't make it, I won't live......"

One of the villagers rushed up and raised his hand to hit the sea lady, but was stopped by Ah Man. The man's hand stopped, but his mouth did not stop: "You crazy woman, go home and take care of your stupid son, it's not your turn to talk nonsense here." ”

Dahai Niang knew that Lan Jiu could save her son, so she naturally let it go: "Baicuishan, don't think that you are the son of the village chief, we are afraid of you." If my sea can come back with all the beards and tails, it is easy to say anything, if my sea has three long and two short, I will die with all of you, I, I ......"

Dahai Niang thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a good way to end up together, and her voice weakened a little: "I hanged myself in front of your house, and I won't let you go if I turn into a ghost." You return my sea, my miserable sea......" The sea lady sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, the village chief made a look, and a mother-in-law with five big and three thick stepped forward, picked up Dahai Niang and said: "Dahai Niang, something happened to the sea, and we are all uncomfortable, but now is not the time to talk about right and wrong." It's better to listen to the village chief first, if you can catch that Wu Zikui, your family will definitely be fine. ”

Dahai Niang's arm was dragged by the mother-in-law, and she suddenly seemed to be deflated: "Naturally, I listen to the village chief, and I naturally listen to the village chief...... The sea in my house will be fine, it will be fine. ”

Lan Jiu looked at the man named Baicuishan carefully, obviously looking rude and sloppy, but a half-finger-thick gold chain was exposed in the collar. There was a fist-sized jade pendant hanging from his waist, warm as the moon, and three of the ten fingers were wearing rings, each of which was embedded with a brilliant gem.

Looking at the people in Bailing Village, almost half of them are completely inconsistent with this temperament and wealth. It seems that this Bailing Village has made a fortune recently.

Knowing that there was nothing to ask here, Lan Jiu said that he would go around to investigate and investigate, and Wu Shaokui didn't haunt at night, so let's talk about it at night.

Seeing that they no longer asked about the King of the Hundred Spirits, the village chief was not as resistant as before, so he asked the two of them to settle down at his house, and if they needed anything, they should just give orders.

Lan Jiu took Ah Man around the entire village twice, and just looking at this house, it could be seen that this Bailing Village was not rich, at least not as good as Li Baolu and their Xiguang Village.

At this moment, an old lady quietly beckoned to them in front of a wooden house: "Are you thirsty?" If you don't dislike it, come in and have a drink. ”

This old lady didn't know anything about the Tao of the Eight Sects and Four Sects at all, and when she saw the cultivators, she called out to her lord.

Lan Jiu smiled and said: "Not to mention, I'm really a little thirsty after walking for half a day, so thank you mother-in-law." ”

As soon as the two entered the door, a figure flashed out, and knelt down with a pop, it turned out to be Dahai Niang: "My lord, save my sea." His father died early, and now my mother-in-law and I are counting on the sea to have the idea of living, if the sea is gone, we really can't live. ”
