Chapter 347: Trading, Eavesdropping (Three Watches)
Although he was shocked by the other party's name, Liang Hao introduced himself with a polite smile: "In Xia Liang Hao, he was hired by Lanyue Pavilion and came to contact you." ”
Liang Hao said, the middle-aged man had a Chinese face, seemed to believe in the old man's judgment very much, and did not suspect anything anymore, and directly introduced himself:
"My surname is Wu, and I am one hundred and eight of my brothers, so they call me ...... Wu Bai. ”
The middle-aged man said.
This made Liang Hao feel a little more, it's too casual for you to choose a name here, right?
After all, the name Wu Bai was called by you, so what is the name of your one hundred and seven, one hundred and six brothers?
It's just that next, this person took Liang Hao and them to the center of the cave, and Liang Hao slowly understood the reason.
"Actually, we only have a total of about a dozen families, and on weekdays, we don't have much communication except for necessity, and although we live underground, the mortality rate has always been very high, and when we take a name seriously, we always feel sad when we lose it......"
Wu Bai said, it seems that the numbered name exists to forget, but it made Liang Hao put away the mentality of joking.
Unexpectedly, Wu Bai didn't have the shelf of the God Refining Period at all.
Even in this whole cave, everyone felt that it was not like a sect, but more like a big family.
It should be because they are all relatives that these monks led others to dig to the Eastern Regions together, instead of trying to go there themselves. ’
Liang Hao thought.
In fact, with the cultivation of Wu Bai in front of him, in fact, at this distance, if he wants to smuggle to the Eastern Regions, the success rate should be quite small.
However, the other party didn't have this idea at all, but said that a few days ago, someone in the clan set off with the people of Lanyue Pavilion in advance, trying to go to the Eastern Regions from the ground first under the secret treasure that the other party could hide the breath of mortals.
"Those people, really didn't go to the Eastern Regions?" Wu Bai asked with concern.
Liang Hao shook his head directly, because he had also heard from the shopkeeper that the Lanyue Pavilion spies who originally sent the news had disappeared two months ago, so they would be allowed to come over.
Thinking that most of the team in that batch were his own children and grandchildren, Wu Bai was anxious.
When Liang Hao saw the other party's appearance, he understood what it means to be simple.
During a refining period, everything was written on his face, giving him the feeling that it was not much worse than that of a teenager.
However, with Liang Hao's observation, he also understood that there was really no pastime in this underground.
In addition to planting and digging tunnels, it is to eat and sleep in a daze.
The same process year after year, and I can't even find the talking point for chatting.
Between several families, in order to prevent the union of close relatives, it is also an orderly intermarriage, in fact, there is nothing underground, so there is no need to even fight for power and profit.
Wu Bai sighed lightly, and when he saw outsiders for the second time, he couldn't help but sigh again.
"Actually, our sect has been able to get to this point today, and I don't know how many times, on the verge of ruin. ”
Wu Bai said that from his words, Liang Hao knew that even if they lived such a simple life, there were times of disputes and intrigue.
But later, the continuation of the entire clan was almost cut off, and even during the period of infighting, the progress of excavation was the slowest in history.
Later, the Wu family came out and used the strongest cultivators to settle all disputes.
It's just that in the thousands of years since the Wu family took over, the brute beasts in the outside world seem to be getting stronger and stronger, and the spirit stones are completely exhausted and can only go to the outside world to look for them, so the mortality rate of the monks is getting higher and higher.
"After that, we didn't even have the strength to fight, and even in the era of the decline of cultivation, the refining period of the new hidden array was broken, and it was only when the gifted people were born that they recovered their vitality and re-excavated it little by little, but just such a decline and rise, in thousands of years, it has also experienced at least five times. ”
Wu Bai said, it seems that because few outsiders have brought him, he has completely opened the chatterbox, and his words are becoming more and more smooth.
Liang Hao originally came to learn about the situation in the Southern Regions, so he naturally didn't mind listening to this kind of secret news from the past, and among the four people, he listened to it the most.
It's just that gradually, the topic returned to the spies before Lanyue Pavilion, and the first batch of people who wanted to bring back.
"At that time, he showed me a spirit boat that could hide fluctuations, if it was just a mortal, even I wouldn't be able to perceive it, this place was already on the edge, he said that there was no danger, there were too many people to do, so I took some of them back with him first, how could it be missing......"
Wu Bai's face was sad, and he rubbed a piece of Transmission Treasure Jade in his hand, which was obviously given to him by the person from Lanyue Pavilion.
Liang Hao said secretly, if it were someone else, I am afraid that the first thing would be to suspect that there was something wrong with Lanyue Pavilion.
But this group of people, in the case of their ancestors in order to prevent infighting, erased all the education of scheming and scheming, and grew up in a pure and virtuous environment, they will not do so much doubt at all.
Just thinking of this, Liang Hao remembered that before he remembered that the old man who was the first to meet them was strange.
Why did the old man suspect them, even if he was a human being, he still suspected that he was a brute beast?
Liang Hao said it directly to this Wu Bai, but Wu Bai had a clear expression.
"This is normal, don't you know? Nearby, is the territory of the Beast Ancestor, the Beast Ancestor likes to play with humans, and also makes many brute beasts under his command transform into shapes, we have also encountered them outside, and almost thought that our compatriots were deceived, and finally found out that even if they transform into shapes, their blood also has the smell of brute beasts. ”
Wu Bai said.
Although they are moving underground, they have to prevent digging under the feet of some powerful spirit beasts, so even if there are sacrifices, someone must constantly go out to investigate the situation, and they are still very clear about where there are powerful brute beasts along the way in the Southern Regions.
By the way, he also popularized science for Liang Hao.
In the names handed down from their southern regions, the god refining period is called the beast king, the hedao period is the beast ancestor, the earth immortal is the beast god, and the one corresponding to the immortal is the spirit beast zun.
Legend has it that the beast gods of the Southern Continent are in the double digits or more, and even the Spirit Beast Venerable, there is more than one, all of them are Wu Bai, through the capture of brute beasts that can understand human language, or the information obtained after going out and encountering other remnants of human beings for thousands of years.
It's just that an underground sect of their size, even if there are 10,000 people and two god refining periods, they don't have the ability to resist the beast king of the god refining stage at all, after all, the cultivation resources are too few.
Liang Hao knew that the other party must have paid the same price as blood when he got this information, and this was what he wanted most.
So, he asked straight to the point, "Can you give me a copy of the information you collected in the past?"
After Liang Hao finished speaking, he was just thinking about what to trade with the other party, but Wu Bai actually agreed happily!
"No problem, I'll look for ......" Wu Bai searched in a storage bag and took out some jade slips, which made Liang Hao cry and laugh.
He didn't expect that the intelligence, which he originally thought was the main event, would be so easy to get started?
It's just that at this time, Yuan Qinghua asked on the side, "Don't you want anything in return?"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Bai's movements stopped instantly.
Seeing this, Liang Hao, who originally wanted to make a fortune in a muffled voice, took over the information from Liang Hao first, and his heart was cold.
He gritted his teeth secretly, and said in his heart If it weren't for Jiang Shaoyou, the messenger of protecting flowers, if it weren't for Yuan Qinghua's own ability to fight, he really wanted to give this upright girl a blow to the soul.
"Uh...... Isn't it true, the people from Lanyue Pavilion helped us go to the Eastern Regions before, and they also said that they would help under him in the future, this is called a transaction. ”
Wu Bai recalled this somewhat unfamiliar word and nodded lightly in agreement.
"Yes, yes, then Wu Daoyou, what do you want?"
Liang Hao felt bitter in his heart, but his face still had an expression that he had prepared to be like this.
"Hmm...... Help me find them, those missing clansmen, there, there are also people from Lanyue Pavilion, you are together, you should be worried too, right?"
Wu Bai said, Liang Hao only then knew what it meant to lift a stone and hit his own feet.
After speaking, Wu Bai immediately added: "I can't go with you, now there are too many people in the sect, I have to maintain the concealment formation, the route they planned before should be to bypass the territory of the Beast Ancestor, and the map will be given to you." ”
After Wu Bai finished speaking, Liang Hao was helpless, but thinking about the intelligence that the other party had collected over the years, the value was indeed very great, and he couldn't give up, and he couldn't grab it with a hard robbery, anyway, they also have enough experience now, just by investigating, it shouldn't be very dangerous.
Therefore, he directly agreed, and prepared to return to the ground to find out where the previous group of people went.
It's just that Liang Hao and the four of them didn't find out that at this moment, in the small mound house nearby, the people of the entire underground sect were pale because there was no sunlight, and the only woman with messy hair was hiding in a newly built mound with earthy yellow skin, hiding in a newly built mound of dirt, quietly, watching them.
Because of the curiosity about outsiders, there were too many people secretly observing, so Liang Hao and the four of them didn't care about the sight, and were directly sent out by the old man before.
As for the yellow-skinned woman, when she saw the four of them leaving, after hearing the conversation, her hand quietly reached into her clothes, secretly took out something, and put it to her mouth......
