Volume 1 Chapter 14 Accidents
Luo Xun and a few people chatted about their own topics, which was about the Dragon Martial Conference. Lan Jiu sat on the side and couldn't understand, so he had to look at this and that for a while, and study their spiritual roots and spells. Ah Man dozed off boredly. After they finished talking, they remembered this little Taoist friend again.
Knowing that Lan Jiu was here to look for someone, Feng Moyan patted his chest and said, "This matter is on me, and I can give you an answer tomorrow." ”
Lan Jiu was overjoyed, but Luo Xun asked intimately, "But have you found a suitable accommodation?" ”
Lan Jiu was a little anxious at this time, it was almost dark, she actually forgot about it, and she didn't know if the inn in Longqing Mansion was expensive, she only had a dozen taels of silver.
Looking at her crumpled little face, like a plump little bun, Luo Xun somehow wanted to reach out and pinch it, it must feel very good.
With a slight movement of his fingers, Luo Xun hurriedly pressed down on this strange thought, and looked at Lan Jiu gently: "You go to the Swordsman Inn outside the east gate, and say that it is my friend, and you don't need silver." ”
Because the Xuanjian Sect often has people from the sect come to Longqing Mansion, if they don't return at night, they can go to the Swordsman Inn opened by the sect in Longqing Mansion to rest.
As soon as he heard that the registration word could be done without silver, countless little stars of worship appeared in Lan Jiu's eyes: "What? Can you sign up without silver? Your Excellency, you're too imposing, aren't you? "When will I be able to mix like this?
Luo Xun has received too many praises since he was a child, but they all say that he has a stable temperament and good talent, or he is a high cultivator, a hero is a teenager or something, or there are countless people who praise his appearance, but it is the first time he has been praised like this. You don't need silver to sign up, isn't it majestic? This girl is really interesting!
"You're not a member of the Cultivators' Guild, so you don't need adults to call me, just call me by my name." Luo Xun is always so approachable.
Lan Jiu was a little embarrassed, this Luo Xun was too high in terms of family background, strength and status, if he called his name directly, he always felt that it was too abrupt.
Feng Moyan saw her difficulties at a glance, so he came up to relieve the siege: "It's better for you to follow us and call him senior brother, anyway, there are many people who call him like this, and there are not many of you." ”
So, that's it! Lan Jiu nodded happily, and was about to call out heartily, "Senior brother." But he was stopped by Luo Xun: "You are not a disciple of this sect, it is better to call my name." ”
Lan Jiu had no choice but to agree in embarrassment. Luo Xun is Luo Xun, anyway, his father named him for shouting.
Feng Moyan didn't speak in a very good tone, but he did things very properly, and early the next morning, a small Taoist came, saying that someone saw his mother-in-law appear in Longqing Mansion half a month ago, and then went to Yinling Mountain in the northwest, and he has not appeared yet. Feng Moyan's meaning is to let them stay here, mother-in-law will definitely come out of the mountain when she enters the mountain, once there is news, he will notify Lan Jiu as soon as possible, if she enters Yinling Mountain by herself and has no brains to find, maybe she will take a fork in the road and miss her mother-in-law.
It's so good, you can just take a tour of Longqing Mansion, and by the way, you can also go to the bounty order to take some tasks to do and earn some silver.
The idea was naturally good, but when he and Ah Man saw the bare gate of the Longqing Mansion Bounty Order, they really wanted to cry without tears. They have just entered the city, how do they know that there are countless cultivators in this Longqing Mansion, and the reward order can be said to be more monks and less porridge, so many high-level cultivators are lined up with round eyes, where is it their turn to be the two fledgling little shrimps.
In desperation, these two people have just been bored and wandering around for a few days, looking at the dazzling food in the street market, smelling the tempting smell of the big city, and feeling a lot of emotion, it is good to be rich.
Although he didn't need to spend money to stay in Luo Xun's name, but with a person like Aman, who had a huge appetite, Lan Jiu's dozen taels of silver had already been eaten by him in the past two days.
On this day, just after noon, the people who were exposed to the sun couldn't raise their heads, Lan Jiu and A Man were hungry with their chests against their backs, and they didn't want to go shopping anymore, so they found a shadow in the corner and squatted down, counting the people who passed by, one counting the cultivators, the other counting the demon clan, and when the number of ten people was full, they put a small pebble in front of them, which was really boring.
Suddenly, a chicken leg fell from the sky, smashing the small pebbles in front of Lan Jiu everywhere. When he looked up, it was Murong Junjie's distorted and smiling face.
It's really a narrow road!
Murong Junjie poked his head and looked down, proud and arrogant: "I said that the two of you should be hungry, this chicken leg uncle will reward you." ”
A little spiritual priest beside him hurriedly threw down another chicken leg: "Uncle Shi, you can't think about it, how can these two beggars divide a chicken leg and reward them with another one, hahahahaha." ”
The two braised chicken thighs were covered with mud and sand, but Ah Man didn't mind, and reached out to pick them up. Lan Jiu slapped Ah Man's hand: "Don't pick it up, you have to have backbone to be a man." ”
Ah Man withdrew his hand with a red face, but his eyes did not leave the chicken leg on the ground at all.
"Roar, these two stinky beggars are quite backbone." The little spirit's words were full of mockery.
Murong Junjie suddenly seemed to think of something, and his face changed: "It's just that, it's not fun at all." You didn't get a bounty, so let them do it. It's also pitiful to go out. ”
"But my reward order ......" As soon as the little spirit man opened his mouth, he saw Murong Junjie's sesame-sized eyes squeezing at him, and he was busy changing his words: "Since Uncle Shi has spoken, give them it, Master and his old man always teach me to be kind to others." ”
After saying that, he raised his hand and threw down a bounty token. With a "dang", the token fell to the ground.
Lan Jiu squinted at the two people upstairs and laughed: "This is what you don't want, this girl eats with her ability, and she is above board." After speaking, he bent down and picked up the token on the ground, and pinched it with spiritual power, and the location of the token mission and the relevant characters were revealed. Aman also came over and took a closer look together.
Murong Junjie shook his head and sang a little song, as if he was very sure. The little spirit priest was very reluctant to that task in his heart, and still poked his head to look at the two people who were far away.
Murong Junjie knocked on the table: "Come back and listen to the music and drink tea steadily, I dare to guarantee that the token will return to you as it is tonight, and we will watch the excitement together, and I will help you do the task tomorrow." ”
When the little spirit man heard him say this, the stone in his heart was put down, and finally Uncle Shi agreed to help him take on this task, and he could advance after completing it, he didn't want the duck with his beak to fly like this.
Lan Jiu asked Ah Man as he walked: "Do you understand this mud cow, I always feel that the sesame eyes are not good." ”
Ah Man patted his chest and said: "I don't dare to say anything else, but you have a hundred hearts in the mud cow, I have encountered it before, that is, I have more strength, and nothing else." I'll let you see what I'm capable of this time. ”
After speaking, he looked at Lan Jiu proudly, and when he saw that she didn't seem to be at ease, he said with some puzzlement: "If you want me to say that the son is not a bad person, he gave us chicken legs and tasks." ”
Lan Jiu subconsciously touched the colorful jade shell pendant around his neck, while still thinking, and after a while he reacted to Ah Man's words, he couldn't help jumping up and patting him on the head: "You listen to me, that sesame eye is definitely not a good bird, stay away from him in the future." ”
The two of them hurried under the sun, and arrived at Ningxi Village in the evening, looking at the sparkling Ningxi Lake, they suddenly felt a chill hit them, and they got goosebumps. The endless surface of the lake, with the occasional breeze blowing, and the sun has not yet set, it should not be so shivering and cold. Lan Jiu stared at it, and was also frightened, this lake is faintly covered with black gas, which has the potential to cover the sky and the sun, what is this thing in the water, a small mud cow, how can there be such a big ghost.
But they were penniless, and Ah Man couldn't stand the hunger. Besides, it's all here, so you have to try it.
Ah Man looked at the lake and became a little confused, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "No, how can this mud cow be in the water, it was obviously on land last time." ”
Lan Jiu was about to ask him after listening, when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "You two, come here, come here, don't you dare to stand by the lake." ”
In the distance, a woodcutter carrying firewood on his back kept waving anxiously to them. Lan Jiu trotted to the man's side: "Dare to ask this little brother, but do you know what happened here?" ”
The woodcutter frowned and said, "Outsiders, I tell you, but don't dare to go to the lake, that mud cow is going to eat people." ”
Lan Jiu shook the reward order in his hand: "We are here for this matter, and we also ask the little brother to tell me about this matter in detail." ”
The woodcutter looked the two people in front of him up and down: "Just the two of you?" Alas, I advise you to go back quickly, how many cultivators have come back before and after, I see that they are much more capable than you, all of them are gone, all of them are gone. ”
Originally, Ningxi Village is located next to Ningxi Lake, and the people in the village are all fishing for a living, and the fish in Ningxi Lake are abundant, which has brought a stable and prosperous life to the villagers of Ningxi for many years. But half a month ago, a mud cow suddenly appeared in the lake, and all the fish disappeared overnight. Moreover, the mud cow eats people every day, and more than a dozen people have died in the village.
At first, I thought it was accidental drowning, after all, living by the lake, this kind of thing happens from time to time, but later more and more people were killed, and then I realized that something was wrong, so I went to issue a reward order for the cultivator to deal with it. Who knew that five or six waves of people came before and after, but all of them were lost in the lake, and only one person escaped, covered with injuries and half dead. I don't dare to move, and I'm still recuperating in the village at the moment.
