Volume 5 The Ancient Kingdom of the Western Regions_Chapter 29 Adventure Mercenary

It wasn't too difficult for me to find a mass grave, and after leaving the city, I had walked along a path for about five miles, and I could already feel the thick yin qi in front of me.

I released Xiaomei out of the soul urn, and as soon as Xiaomei came out, he immediately said, "Master, the yin qi in front is so heavy. ”

I smiled and said, "I found it for you, let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

There was a mountain beam in front of me, but it was not high, and after turning over the mountain beam, there was a small river ditch that had dried up, and the ditch exuded a thick yin qi, and when I walked down, I stepped on a human bone under my feet, and there were many tattered clothes.

In the local area, it is called Sickle Bay, it is said that in the past war, there was a tragic war here, many people died, all the bodies were buried here, some nearby countryside, in the past, women gave birth at home very early, and the children who died were all brought to this Sickle Bay to be buried.

The rich yin qi made me feel a little uncomfortable, but Xiaomei liked it very much, and breathed in a big gulp of the yin qi emanating from the ground.

The reason why the yin qi of this sickle bay is so heavy is also because of the feng shui here, in front of which is a mountain beam, with trees on it, and the shape of the entire river ditch in sickle bay is like a sickle, which is called sickle in feng shui, and all the yin qi around it has gathered here, plus many people have died before, so naturally the yin qi is very heavy.

I walked casually in the Sickle Bay, and I didn't go far, but I came across a ghost, who crawled out of a coffin next to me, and when I saw the living person, I immediately opened my teeth and danced my claws.

However, he didn't attack me easily, and probably knew that I was not easy to mess with, but Xiaomei didn't send him, and rushed over and pounced.

This yin spirit was naturally unwilling to be devoured by Xiaomei, and immediately resisted and fought. I didn't make a move, and with Xiaomei's skills, it was very easy to deal with this kind of ghost who had just become a climate.

After a few clicks, the yin spirit was eaten clean by Xiaomei, and Xiaodouzi said, "Sister, why do you eat everything." ”

Xiaomei stuck out her tongue at me and Xiaodouzi and said, "Master, devouring yin souls is better than absorbing yin qi, you can help me see if there are any yin souls around here." ”

I nodded, and made a seal knot in my hand, and in an instant, more than a dozen yin spirits rose from the sickle dog, but these yin spirits are very ordinary, and they have not yet become a climate, and it is estimated that they are people who have just died, and they have found sickle bay from the city to nourish themselves with the help of the yin energy here.

It's a pity that these guys met me and Xiaomei, Xiaomei was very excited, pounced on it, and devoured these ghosts in a short time.

One night, the entire Sickle Bay was made restless by Xiao Mei, and many latent ghosts were found and devoured by Xiao Mei, the most significant effect is that Xiao Mei has returned to a physical state from the virtual body of the Yin Spirit, and from the appearance, she can no longer be seen to be a ghost, and she is the same as a real person.

I looked at the time, it was past five o'clock in the morning, and the ghost of this sickle bay was almost cleaned up, so I beckoned Xiaomei to leave Sickle Bay and return to Ili.

We went back to the hotel, and after a short rest, we went to have some breakfast early in the morning, and I planned to go out for a walk, one to inquire about the news of Thousand Soul Peak, and the other to buy some necessities to take with me after entering the mountain.

As I walked, I didn't know how to walk into a street that looked quite special, there were no shops here, it was just a bare street, but on both sides of the street, there were some people standing or sitting, setting up some stalls, a bit like the antique street I encountered in Dunhuang before.

I walked slowly along the street, and I didn't seem to look at the things on the stalls, but I was disappointed that I didn't see anything of real value, and the things that were blown up into the sky by the hawkers were very ordinary, and even many of them were fakes, synthetic, and I could tell at a glance.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion ahead, and I heard someone say: "Team up to go on an expedition to the Tianshan Mountains, recruit six companions, and sign up if you are willing." ”

I saw a lot of people running over to watch, just at this time I was squatting on a small stall, I valued a sandalwood comb, the shape is simple, very good-looking, ready to buy it for Xiaomei.

I asked, "Brother, what are they doing here?" ”

The stall owner, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a high nose, said, "Listen to your accent, you're from out of town, right?" This street is called Adventure Street, and here we all have a special title called Adventure Mercenaries. ”

"Adventurous mercenaries?" It's a bit new, I've only heard of mercenaries, bounty hunters, and so on, and I haven't heard of adventurous mercenaries.

The man said: "Adventurous mercenaries are a major feature of the Western Regions, and looking at your appearance, you also know a little bit about it." From ancient times to the present, the Western Regions are extremely mysterious, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions, there is Lop Nur of death, there is a fantasy devil city, and the mysterious Tianshan Mountain, this is a paradise for adventurers and explorers, and I don't know when it began, there were adventurous mercenaries in the Western Regions, at first they just formed a gang, went to explore, robbed tombs, and later evolved into the nature of mercenaries. If you are an explorer or archaeologist on holidays, and you are worried about encountering some unknown and terrifying times in the mountains, then you need to use our adventure mercenaries. ”

When I heard this, I also probably understood the meaning of adventure mercenaries, which is similar to the nature of bounty hunters and mercenaries, that is, to protect these archaeological and expedition people, and collect commissions. Or form a team by yourself and go to Lop Nur or Tianshan Mountain to explore, after all, the power of one person is limited, and the power of many people is great.

I smiled and said, "So, you're also an adventurous mercenary?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "I'm barely counting." As he spoke, he pointed to a five-pointed star badge on his chest and said, "I am the lowest-level one-star adventure mercenary, and these things were obtained from the last expedition to dig an ancient tomb, so I divided such things." The higher the star level, the more powerful the adventurous mercenary is, and the higher the remuneration charged. However, most adventurous mercenaries now choose a minimum pay, and then the rewards of the expedition are proportional. ”

I asked a little casually: "Then who evaluates your so-called star rating?" ”

The middle-aged man said, "Naturally, it was assessed by the Adventure Mercenary Guild, what's the matter?" Are you also interested in being an adventurous mercenary? I waved my hand and said, "I'm not interested in this, by the way, I'll ask you something, do you know the specific location of Thousand Souls Peak?" ”

As soon as the man heard me mention Thousand Soul Peak, his face immediately changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Why are you asking Thousand Soul Peak?" On this Thousand Souls Peak is the main altar of the Lunatic Cult, the Lunatic Cult is powerful in the Western Regions, often oppressing us ordinary adventurous mercenaries, what we are most afraid of is to go to the Tianshan Mountains to explore, meet the people of the Lunatic Cult, lucky, hand over things, can pick up a life, bad luck, people and things can't be saved. The Lunatic Cult is the great enemy of our adventurous mercenaries. ”

I laughed and said, "I'm just curious." You also know that I'm not a local, and I've heard about the Thousand Soul Peak Moon Worship Sect for a long time, so I asked casually. ”

The middle-aged man said, "This Lunatic Cult can't be mentioned indiscriminately. As for the specific location of Thousand Souls Peak, I don't know, some veteran adventure mercenaries should know. ”

After I nodded, I spent 800 yuan to buy a sandalwood comb, originally this comb was only 500 yuan, I gave the vendor an extra 300 yuan, before leaving, the vendor called me, and then lowered his voice and said in my ear: "Brother, I can see that you are not a simple person, but I advise you not to think about Thousand Soul Peak, there are many treasures there, but it is a forbidden place for adventurous mercenaries." ”

I nodded and said, "Thanks for the reminder." I combed the sandalwood to Xiaomei, but Xiaomei was so happy, and his face was rarely red, which made Xiaodouzi laugh next to him. After I gave her a comb, I walked briskly to the front, and Xiaodouzi said, "Daddy, aren't we going back to the hotel?" ”

I nodded and said, "Don't go back yet, Daddy has already figured out how to get to Thousand Souls Peak." ”

With that, I led the two of them towards the crowd in front of me.
