Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 64 Black Wind Mountain
Xu Chen was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect Huang Zhongjie to have a relationship with Chongwu Mountain, and he was still his own teacher. He couldn't help but hate and said: "This Jiangnan Sansha is really inferior to beasts! I am willing to go with my uncle to destroy this Black Wind Mountain and grow the ambition of my god clan." ”
Zhang Youde smiled lightly and said, "Master and nephew don't need to be excited, it is naturally our obligation to eliminate violence and peace, but we can't act recklessly." You have to learn a lot from your master on this. ”
Xu Chen couldn't help but blush, Zhang Youde had only met him twice, and he had already figured out his temperament.
Xu Chen also knew that his uncle's reminder was well-intentioned, he used to be too impulsive and not good at controlling his temper, and he often got into trouble and his master came forward to clean up the mess.
So much so that this time he was wronged, and the master who was actually killed was imprisoned in Xuanhu Mountain by that old foolish Feng Qianxun, every time he thought of this, Xu Chen felt sorry for Nangong Muyang.
He drank tea in a depressed mood and listened quietly to the next words of the owner of Huang Zhuang.
I only heard that Huang Zhongjie said to everyone: "Huang invites you to have a light meal in the village today and rest for a night." If the hospitality is not good, I hope you will forgive me. ”
He pointed to the housekeeper beside him, and then said: "Friends who want to sign up to go to Black Wind Mountain, please go to Zhao Wu to register, and tomorrow I will arrange the corresponding vehicles, horses and coils according to the number of people on the roster." ”
Xu Chen was anxious when he heard this, thinking that there are so many heroes and heroes in Mingyue Villa today, if he signs up late, maybe people won't want me! So he quickly got up and prepared to sign up, who knew that Zhang Youde gently grabbed the corner of his clothes and signaled not to worry.
Xu Chen asked strangely, "Uncle Shi, don't you want to take care of things?"
"Of course not. Zhang Youde smiled and said: "Don't rush to sign up, let's see the excitement first." ”
"Watching the excitement?" Xu Chen's face was full of questions, feeling that there must be a deep-seated reason why he was not in a hurry to sign up, thinking that I have insufficient social experience, so it is better to listen to my uncle's words first, and it is okay to watch the movement for the time being.
Xu Chen then sat back in his chair and drank tea with Zhang Youde, but his eyes were fixed on the movement in the Justice Hall.
At this time, a yellow-bearded man in his forties walked out of the crowd and asked, "Master Huang, I don't know something, and I hope the owner of the village will make it clear." ”
If you have any questions, you might as well just say them. ”
"In the notice, the owner of Huang Zhuang said that those who save the daughter can get 1,000 taels of gold, which is indeed a lot of money, and it is worthy of our value. It's just that there are so many friends who came to cheer today, but it is estimated that there is only one person who rescued Miss Huang in the end. In this case, don't others make wedding dresses for nothing, and end up with nothing?"
Yes, what this benevolent brother said makes sense, and I think the same way! Xu Chen couldn't help but nod approvingly when he saw this person express the worry in his heart.
As soon as the yellow-bearded man's words were finished, those who rushed to sign up immediately slowed down, and some of them who had already registered even asked Steward Zhao to cross out their names from the registration book.
Zhang Youde smiled and said to Xu Chen: "Virtuous nephew, see it, the world is bustling, all for profit, and all for profit." What is to eliminate violence and peace, and eliminate the demon race, it is just the capital they use to brag about. ”
Xu Chen thought to himself that it was really Uncle Shi who had a vision, and he had expected this kind of scene, and he couldn't help but admire Zhang Youde a little more in his heart.
Xu Chen saw a young man in expensive clothes come out of the crowd and said to Huang Zhongjie: "The soldiers are not more than fine, this thousand taels of gold, Uncle Huang should keep it." The little nephew is not talented, and he is willing to go to Heifeng Mountain for a trip. ”
Xu Chen saw that he was followed by two entourages, although this person's tone was gentle and polite, but he was as arrogant as Zhang Youde, so he guessed that he was a famous family, so he turned his head and asked Zhang Youde: "Uncle Shi, who is this person?"
Zhang Youde responded lightly: "Shangguan Yu, the eldest son of Qingfeng Villa." ”
The owner of Huang Zhuang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Shangguan Yu's words: "It turned out to be Shangguan Xian's nephew, how is Ling Zun?"
"Thanks to Uncle Huang's blessing, my father is in good health, eats well and sleeps well, and he always thinks about you. ”
"The virtuous nephew came to help, so that the old man is grateful, it is better to ask the virtuous nephew to take the lead in registering a record. ”
"There's no hurry. The young man smiled and said, "The little nephew came this time, and there is a small matter. That is, on the orders of my father, to discuss important matters with you, can Uncle Huang take a step to speak?"
I'm in a hurry, what else do you want to discuss with me? Huang Zhongjie walked off the stage with a suspicious look and came to the corner with him.
The two of them were standing less than two feet away from Xu Chen's desk, and Xu Chen was busy pricking up his ears to listen to what they had to say.
"Uncle Huang, have you heard the recent news that the Demon Clan is about to move and is ready to start another war with the Protoss?"
"Shhhhh
"Once the gods and demons start a war, it will be a disaster, and my father has long had the heart to share the worries of the Emperor of Heaven, but it's a pity that my Qingfeng Villa is weak, and I urgently need to unite everyone's strength to deal with the demons. The little nephew came this time, firstly, to rescue Ling Ai, and secondly, he hoped that Uncle Huang could form an alliance with my Zhuang to jointly fight back against the attack of the demons. ”
Seeing that Huang Zhongjie was silent with a calm face, Shangguan Yu said again: "In addition, the little nephew has another uninvited invitation, that is, I hope that after the little nephew rescues Ling Ai, I can marry her for a hundred years." You and I were originally world friends, and now they are close to each other, and if Uncle Huang has anything to do in the future, I will naturally bear it. ”
After Huang Zhongjie listened, his lungs were about to explode, and his eyes showed obvious unhappiness.
Xu Chen, who was sitting on the side, also sneered after eavesdropping, and scolded secretly: "This guy is really good at wishful thinking, and keeps saying that he is resisting the attack of the demons, but the fool can tell that he is taking the opportunity to blackmail." ”
This guy is really a shrewd person, if he marries Miss Huang, after Huang Zhongjie is a hundred years old, then the entire Mingyue Villa will not be his.
How could Huang Zhongjie not hear Shangguan Yu's extraneous meaning, but he was not good at attacking in person, so he had to say perfunctorily: "The old man has already washed his hands in a golden basin, and he doesn't ask about the disputes between gods and demons. ”
Shangguan Mingyu wanted to lobby again, but at this time, a family member rushed in and reported: "Report to the owner, I just received a message from the flying pigeon, saying that Jiangnan Sansha has returned to Heifeng Mountain. ”
"What?" Huang Zhongjie asked in surprise: "Heifeng Mountain is at least seven days away from Qingping County, how can you return to your nest so soon?"
"Back to the owner, according to the reliable information I received, the mounts of the three lewd thieves were Qiji horses, so they went fast. ”
Qiji is a rare BMW in the world, although it is not as good as Tianma Lushu in the sky, but it can also travel thousands of miles in a day and eight hundred at night, no wonder these dog thieves in Jiangnan Sansha can return to Heifeng Mountain in one day.
Hearing this bad news, someone in the hall suddenly shouted: "It's over, I didn't expect these guys to have such good horses!"
"What should we do, if they go back, we will have no hope!" the other shook his head repeatedly.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but turn their heads and ears, and in less than a moment, in Xu Chen's surprised gaze, most of the people in the hall were dispersed.
Seeing such a strange scene, Xu Chen asked Zhang Youde strangely: "Why did you run away so many people as soon as I heard that Jiangnan Sansha had returned to Heifeng Mountain?"
"Jiangnan is fearless, what they are afraid of is the Dian Teng Demon Flower. ”
"Isn't it just a plant, what's there to be afraid of?"
"Don't underestimate it, it's neither a plant nor an animal, it's more like a hybrid of the two. ”
Zhang Youde knew that Xu Chen didn't know how powerful this thing was, so he told him about the origin of the vine demon flower.
It turned out that the nest of the Sansha in the south of the Yangtze River was surrounded by a dark black pine forest, and this vine demon flower was parasitic in this deep forest.
Usually sleeping in the ground like a wintering insect, it will only wake up when a living person approaches, stretch out its octopus-like tentacles to entangle its prey, and then easily strangle them.
Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said disappreciatively: "I and other Protoss warriors who have never seen a ferocious beast, are we still afraid of this kind of thing? ”
"If you have this kind of idea of underestimating the enemy, I am afraid that a hundred deaths will not be enough. Zhang Youde said with a worried face: "Its tentacles are covered with tiny and sharp fangs, as long as the venom shoots out from the fangs into the prey, it can paralyze you instantly, so that your true qi is weak and you can no longer break free, and then you will be sucked into a dry corpse!"
"Oh, I see. Only then did Xu Chen understand the reason why those people didn't dare to go to Black Wind Mountain.
Originally, these people were hoping to rob and kill them on the way back to Black Wind Mountain, so as to get a bounty. It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Jiangnan Sansha actually rode a thousand miles of horses to return to the lair in advance.
In this way, they can defend against the danger. Many chivalrous people who came to rescue Miss Huang were afraid that they would die in the black pine forest before they saw the face of the three evils in Jiangnan, which became a delicious meal for the vine demon flower.
Although a thousand taels of gold is tempting, if you don't have the life to enjoy it, then the gain will outweigh the loss! In the face of reality, it is natural that many people will quit the market.
But Xu Chen immediately had a question in his heart, that is, although Heifeng Mountain was very close to the Zhongrong Country where the Demon Venerable lived, it was in the border area of Leizhou, and it should be under the jurisdiction of Su Liunian, the God King of Gushu Mountain, why would he let Jiangnan Sansha do evil in his own territory?
Xu Chen then revealed this mystery in his heart, and after listening to his words, Zhang Youde smiled indifferently and said, "Do you think His Royal Highness Su Liunian doesn't want to eradicate this gang of thieves? The key is that there is still a headache in Heifeng Mountain. ”
"Could it be that there is a demon spire master in the Black Wind Mountain who can compete with Su Liunian?"
"Definitely. The terrain of Black Wind Mountain is dangerous, and it is the most convenient passage between Zhongrong Kingdom and Gusha Mountain, so in the past, it was a must for the gods and demons. It's just that in the past hundred years, the gods and demons have not dared to attack each other through this shortcut. ”
After a pause, Zhang Youde asked him with a smile: "Have you thought about what the reason is?"
Xu Chen was stunned, how did he know what was going on, so he had to admit honestly: "I don't know." ”
"The gods and demons have been fighting in the Black Wind Mountain for hundreds of years, and I don't know how many unjust souls have been killed there, and these unjust souls who can't go to the underworld to reincarnate gather here and refuse to leave, causing resentment in the mountains, and ghosts can be seen in broad daylight to endanger passers-by. ”
Xu Chen asked a little puzzled: "This is indeed a scourge for the common people, but for those of us who cultivate, it should not pose any threat." If I cast a spell, I can't destroy these undead, but at least I can scare them away, right?"
"Of course, we don't have to be afraid that these undead spirits will harm our lives, but after too many unjust souls have gathered in the mountains, their resentment and anger will be difficult to dissipate, and over time, a powerful resentful spirit enchantment has been formed, although it has no effect on ordinary people, but it has caused a lot of inconvenience to us cultivators. ”
