Chapter 16: The Triocrats
After most of the day's travel, Ling Jun finally came to the northern entrance of the Black Stone Ridge, Jing Fei's blow knocked Ling Jun into internal injuries, and all the internal organs in his body were extremely uncomfortable, especially in his chest, sometimes suffocated, sometimes painful! Occasionally coughing up blood.
The medical skills learned in the Valley of Mercy came in handy at this time, but there were no herbs, so he could only enter the Black Stone Ridge and slowly look for it. At this time, it is already a harsh winter in the north, and it is the same in the north of the Black Stone Ridge, but once the territory of the Wind Wolf Clan has passed, the season has begun to change, and the temperature will become warmer and warmer with the south, until it is out of the south entrance of the Black Stone Ridge and enters the Qingyuan, which is considered to be summer!
In the area from Qingyuan to Lianhua Valley, there is no winter, and the climate in this area is like spring all year round, and the climate is pleasant.
Ling Jun only had a chance to find the herbs he needed after passing through the territory of the Wind Wolf Clan. But at present, it is difficult for him to insist on going to the Wind Wolf Clan, and besides, he will encounter various barbarian tribes along the way, even if he does not need to fight, he must have a lot of physical strength to support himself to continue to move forward.
So Ling Jun decided to temporarily go to the Sanmu clan for help, the Sanmu clan yearns for freedom, has no quarrel with people, and is also very hospitable, just take this opportunity to contact the patriarch of the Sanmu clan, Wu Sancao, if he can save his daughter, Ling Jun can also let Wu Santrio open the eye of heaven to help him take a look at the situation of the Ling family in the upper realm.
After making a decision, Ling Jun went directly into the Black Stone Ridge, and the entrance was guarded by the guards of the Three-Eyed Clan, and after a simple exchange, one of the guards took Ling Jun to the Three-Eyed Clan.
The Sanmu clan is not very large, they live in a basin surrounded by mountains in the Black Stone Ridge, when they come here, the first thing Ling Jun feels is the hospitality of the Sanmu clan, there are also tourists from other places on the mainland, some come to do business with the Sanmu clan, and some come to play.
Here you can eat the most delicious barbecue on the continent, you can see the most enthusiastic dance on the continent here, and you can also see the most magical eyes on the continent here!
Ling Jun was taken by the guards to an ordinary family, there were no inns and restaurants here, and outsiders came to the Sanmu clan to ask the guards to arrange a residence, and usually arranged for outsiders to eat and live in the homes of locals.
"Young man, it costs 10 copper coins for a night at my house and 15 copper coins for dinner. You're going to have to eat and live for a few days, and you're going to pay for it first. A woman from the Trimu clan said to Ling Jun while cooking on the fire.
Ling Jun touched his body, opened the Qiankun bag and looked at it, he was dumbfounded, he was penniless!
"Ahem!uh...... That, eldest sister, I just passed by for the night, and I didn't have any money with me, so you can see if you can let me stay for the night, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning. Ling Jun said with an embarrassed expression.
Ling Jun hasn't dealt with money for a long time, all the transactions in the upper realm are traded with spirit stones, after coming to the lower realm, he has been living in the Valley of Mercy Flowers, and later when he came to Lingmen, all the expenses are also Ling Fangyu's responsibility, he has never considered the issue of money, now it's okay, when it was his turn to travel alone, he found that he didn't bring money when he went out!
"Oh. Okay, you don't look like some kind of person who eats and drinks, so let's help me chop some wood and come back, even if it's for tonight's lodging expenses. The woman did not refuse Ling Jun's suggestion, and asked Ling Jun to chop wood to cover the cost of accommodation in a way similar to an equivalent exchange.
Ling Jun said that he had internal injuries, but for him, chopping wood, even if he was injured, was not a problem, according to the direction indicated by the woman, Ling Jun came to a dead tree area, this area has been dried up and died for several miles, and the firewood used by people to burn fires is obtained from here.
Ling Jun walked around here a few times, picked up some dry firewood, cut some thicker branches, tied up the firewood, and sat aside to rest.
During the period of rest, Ling Jun had been observing the surrounding visions, and at this time, a pharmacopoeia record appeared in Ling Jun's mind: "The dead thing is dozens of miles in radius, the edge is clearly divided, the inside is dry and the outside is wet, and there are rare and highly poisonous things in the boundary!" Ling Jun stood up suddenly, wrinkled his nose and began to sniff, smelling dozens ......of times back and forth, left and right, and then chose a direction and slowly walked forward, smelling again and again as he walked.
"Its color is black...... "With the fishy smell of Lingjun, it came to the edge of a boulder, and the boulder is black throughout, and you can hardly see other colors!
Seeing the black boulder, Ling Jun subconsciously took a few steps back, because the highly poisonous thing written in the book was likely to be in the boulder!
"The poison is hidden in the black, and it is called: Baili Black Poison Cream, which is one of the main ingredients of the first-order Heavenly Soul Transformation Pill. Ling Jun grinned and said to himself, "I've found a treasure!"
After turning around the black stone a few times, and making sure that the highly poisonous thing was among the boulders, Ling Jun sighed slightly and said, "Jing Fei, you're almost having fun......, aren't you?"
Ling Jun stretched out his hand and shouted, "The gun is coming!"
At this time, the Akame clan was in the castle......
"Sure enough, it's a baby!haha!" Jing Fei stroked the dragon golden gun lovingly.
Suddenly, the dragon golden spear broke free from Jing Fei's hand with a "whoosh", Jing Fei thought that the artifact was psychic, and smiled stupidly: "Ouch! little baby, don't be afraid, come here, come to the master!" After speaking, Jing Fei also waved at the dragon golden spear floating in the air.
The dragon golden spear first circled above Jing Fei's head, and then in front of Jing Fei, the golden light flashed and disappeared without a trace in an instant......
Jing Fei was left alone, standing there in a daze with a confused expression.
A hundred miles away from the Chimu Clan to the Three-Eyed Clan, it took less than five breaths for the Dragon Golden Spear to return to Ling Jun's hands!
With the golden spear in his hand, Ling Jun seemed to be invincible, raised his spear, and slammed it at the boulder! I saw that the boulder was divided into two, but there was a small hole the size of a little finger in the center of the boulder, and some black mucus was flowing out.
"Sure enough, it's a hundred miles of black poison ointment!" Ling Jun hurriedly took out the porcelain bottle that had previously contained the essence of the ice lotus from the Qiankun bag, and carefully inserted the poison ointment flowing out into the bottle.
There was not a lot of poisonous ointment, only half a bottle was answered, and then it stopped flowing out, Ling Jun used a gun to split the boulder again, and finally split the boulder into countless pieces, only to find that the poisonous ointment was just a little, and there was no more to be found in this stone.
Looking at the surrounding environment, Ling Jun said to himself: "Fortunately, I found out in advance, it is only a few miles away, if it is allowed to grow, in a few years, it will really become a hundred miles of black poison ointment!"
Carrying the firewood and filling the poison ointment, Ling Jun left the dead wood area humming a little song.
"Eldest sister, I'm back!" Ling Jun walked into the firewood room, stacked the firewood, and shouted.
"Damn! I haven't cooked for so long! Lao Tzu gave money! You make Lao Tzu hungry?" a rough male voice came from the kitchen.
"Don't be angry, big brother, the firewood for cooking is gone, I have already ordered someone to fetch it just now, you wait, it will be fine immediately!" the woman whispered, a little timid.
"Fuck you! Hurry up and return the money to Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu won't eat with you!" said the rugged man, pushing the woman aside and scolding.
"Okay, okay! I'll give you the money back." Don't hit me...... Woo......" said the woman, who was frightened and cried.
"Here you go, this is ten copper coins for lodging, and this is fifteen copper coins for eating, and a total of twenty-five copper coins will be returned to you. The woman shuddered and handed the copper coin to the big man.
Dahan took the copper coin and said, "The money is right, but you starved Lao Tzu, how can you compensate for this expense?"
"Big brother, it's not that I didn't cook for you, I came back with firewood, but you didn't eat it, and asked me to return the money, and now the money is returned to you, and you ask me to compensate. Didn't you mean to embarrass me......? Woo-woo......" the woman began to cry again.
"Damn! Cry and cry, you know how to cry! Lao Tzu is annoyed to death by you! Hurry up and give money! Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being rude!" said the big man who raised his palm and was about to hit this woman.
"Give, I'll give, please don't hit me. The woman reached out and took out a few copper coins from her breast pocket and handed them over.
"You are hungry Uncle Ben, but you have to pay ten silver coins in compensation! You are far behind!" said the big man, knocking the copper coin in the woman's hand to the ground.
"What? Ten silver coins! Big brother, my family has a maximum of two guests a day, and a maximum of fifty copper coins a day will be credited to my account, and this is not counting the money for buying ingredients, I can barely get one silver coin in three or four days, and I can barely earn ten silver coins in a month, and I have to eat or drink by myself, and you will ask for ten silver coins at once, doesn't this cost me my life? I really don't have that much!" said the woman with teary eyes.
"Don't have ten silver coins? Okay, since you don't have the money to compensate, why don't you sleep with my uncle and me tonight, and this account will be settled!
"Big brother, please let me go, I don't have that much money!" the woman said ......and began to cry again.
"It's useless to cry!, come, go into the house with the uncle!" After speaking, the big man picked up the woman and went to the inner room.
"Help! don't! woo woo ......"
"Stop!" Ling Jun, who had been listening outside the door for a long time, walked in at this time and called out to the big man.
The big man turned around and saw Ling Jun, and immediately put the woman down, and the woman was put down and hurriedly hid behind Ling Jun.
"You little bastard, dare to spoil Lao Tzu's good deeds!, look for death!" said the big man, picking up the stool next to him and smashing it towards Ling Jun.
Ling Jun pushed the woman away, and with a wave of his other hand, the stool was blocked and hit to the side.
"Yo, I'm still a practitioner! But you're still a little tender when you fight with your Black Tiger Master!" This big man called himself a black tiger, and it seemed that he had practiced some physical techniques, and when he put on an offensive posture, Ling Jun could see a thing or two.
This person is just a martial artist, and his physical skills are even second- or third-rate, with a blow arrow pinned to his waist and a short spear on his back.
"Give you three breaths time to get out of here immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" Ling Jun frowned and said coldly.
"You're still scaring Lao Tzu! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu is beating you into an idiot!" the black tiger stretched out his hand and picked up the stool again.
"Three!" Ling Jun stretched out three fingers.
"Oh, it's really with Lao Tzu, come on, let's see what you can do to Lao Tzu!" The black tiger slammed the stool he picked up to the ground, stepped on the stool with one foot, stood on the ground with one foot, and held the table next to him with one hand, looking at him to see what Ling Jun could do to him after counting three times.
"Two!" Ling Jun's ring finger fell.
"Hmph!one! I'll count it for you!" said the black tiger.
"One!" As soon as the words fell, Ling Jun raised his leg and hit the black tiger's crotch directly!
"Let's see if you dare to have such a dirty idea in the future!"
"Oh! Ouch!" Black Tiger didn't think that Ling Jun would give him such a move! In his mind, the battle between men should be frontal and tough, but Ling Jun's move was too bad, and the experienced Black Tiger had never encountered this kind of battle at all!
This cut off the grandson's feet completely made the black tiger lose its combat effectiveness, and Ling Jun dragged him out with the black tiger's rear leader and threw it to the guards of the three-eyed clan.
As a result, the guards saw that it was a black tiger, and no one dared to take him in, and finally Ling Jun threw the black tiger into the dry woods, and returned to comfort the woman who had just received the fright. After pacifying the women, Ling Jun went to the guards to inquire about the situation of the Black Tiger, and learned from the guards that the Black Tiger was the son of a general of the Black Stone Clan, because the Black Stone Clan and the Tianyu Clan had a close relationship over the years, even if they robbed the daughter of the patriarch of the Three-Eyed Clan, the Three-Eyed Clan did not dare to do anything to the people of the Blackstone Clan, so some of these Blackstone Clansmen became more and more unscrupulous towards the behavior of the Three-Eyed Clan!
"It's so unbelievable! They bully your people like this, and you don't dare to take care of it?" Ling Jun's heart was full of anger.
The guard's face was also ugly, and he said: "This is all explained by the patriarch, first, I am afraid that if I offend the Black Stone Clan, it will be detrimental to the daughter of the Patriarch, and second, I am afraid that the Black Stone Clan will raise troops to commit it." ”
"Then fight them!, what are you afraid of!" Ling Jun said.
"The Black Stone Clan has the support of the Tianyu Clan, fighting with them is equivalent to fighting with the Tianyu Clan, we are not the opponent of the Tianyu Clan at all!"
"Hey, that's it......" Ling Jun waved his hand, didn't communicate with the guards again, and turned to leave.
Back at the residence, the woman had already prepared the meal and was waiting for Ling Jun to eat together.
"Thank you, little brother, for coming to the rescue! As a thank you, I will cover all your food and lodging! In the future, you will come to our three-eyed clan, and this will be your home!" the woman looked sincere, and her smile was very warm.
"The eldest sister is polite, and there is no need to worry about it. In the future, I will come to your house to eat and live, and I will be responsible for helping you pick up your firewood!" Ling Jun grabbed a steamed bun and gnawed it down.
"Oh...... Oh, well, let's eat, it's getting cold. After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to have something on her mind.
Ling Jun ate a few bites of food, and when he saw the woman's worried expression, he asked, "Eldest sister, do you still have something on your mind?"
"Yes...... That's the case, this black tiger has been doing evil in the Three-Eyed Clan for a long time, and so far you have appeared to rectify him once, he is here to fool around, and our patriarch doesn't dare to care about him. If you have offended him today, he will surely come back in the future to take revenge!" the woman said, her face full of sorrow again.
"Are you afraid that he won't find me when he comes back and will pour his anger on you?" Ling Jun asked.
"Hmm...... Hmmm!" the woman nodded.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have to get to the bottom of this. Tomorrow I will meet your patriarch and seek a solution to the Black Tiger's troubles!" Ling Jun comforted.
"See our patriarch? He's not something anyone can see if they want to. The woman said.
"Don't worry, I have my own way to meet him!" Ling Jun finished speaking, picking up the bowl and feasting on the clouds.
