099. 'Entrepreneurship' start-up capital
A moment later.
All the items on the pair of men and women were carefully picked out by Ning Kun and the others, including the packages they were carrying, and they were also found and piled together.
There is no doubt that these things are Lu Zheng's trophies, and no one has the slightest objection. After finding these things, the others continued to burn the corpses to clean up the scene, while Lu Zheng leaned down and carefully selected.
His belongings were covered with blood, and with the lesson of Fang Cai, he naturally would not touch it easily, and only used a wooden stick to pull it.
There weren't many things that were picked out from the couple, a few cracked pill bottles, pill bags, a few bills that were completely soaked in blood, and a torn map.
The medicine bottles, medicine bags and the like are no longer discernible, the bills seem to be bearer silver bills and other things, and the map is the road map of the Western Xinjiang Dasai and the surrounding cities. These things were tattered, and they were all contaminated with blood and could not be identified, and they had basically lost their original value.
Lu Zheng frowned, and rummaged through the salutes of men and women, but found that they were all clothes, dry food and other miscellaneous items, and the only thing that looked a little special was two sets of pitch-black iron plates, on which a small word A was engraved, as if it was some kind of proof of identity.
"Two poor ghosts, together they are not as good as Shi Longwu?"
He was immediately disappointed.
He had wanted to see if he could find out from these two people the secrets of controlling the pollution alienation, as well as the so-called ethereal blood.
As a result, not only did it not, but these two people didn't even have martial arts cheats or items that could be recovered, and they looked extremely poor.
Compared with Shi Longwu, who also died in his hands, it was a world of difference.
Of course, these two members of the ghosts and gods may not really be destitute, and it may be that they just didn't have valuables with them, but they obviously didn't have anything to do with him.
Rumble......
At this time, the fire in the compound rose to the sky, and everyone ignited the fire oil and directly burned all the corpses together.
Including the two martial artists who were bitten off their throats and eventually died, they were also incinerated on the spot.
Next to the firelight, whether it was Xi Gongzi, Liang Hu, or Ning Kun's and others, they were all silent.
Lu Zheng also squinted his eyes, looking at the couple in the raging fire, as well as the four sizzling corpses of the old wolf and Dongzi, who were burned, and his heart moved.
It occurred to him that these four people were not real demons who had become evil due to their possession, so could their bones be recovered?
Everyone was present at this moment, and he didn't rush for a moment, he immediately put away the two iron signs, then wrapped up other sundries contaminated by dirty blood, and threw them directly into the raging flames.
"Alright guys, don't stand outside all the time. ”
Lu Zheng looked around at everyone:
"It's windy and sandy outside, let's go in first. ”
The corpse was obviously burned for a while, and everyone was speechless, and they all followed Lu Zheng back to the tulou.
It's just that the number of people on Lu Zheng's side remains the same, and Xi Gongzi's side, which was originally seven people, has only three people left.
They each returned to their original positions and sat down, seeing that the atmosphere of the three people on Xi Gongzi's side was gloomy, Lu Zheng took out the two iron signs and threw them over:
"Master Xi, I found this thing from those two ghosts and gods just now, you have a lot of knowledge to help me identify, is this their identity token, and what is the use?"
Xi Gongzi took the token, looked at it, nodded and said:
"It's an identity token indeed. These two people are the first-word black-clothed people in the ghosts and gods, and their status is not low among the official members, in addition to proving their identity and status, this thing should have other uses in the organization of the ghosts and gods, but it doesn't mean much to others, it is better to hand it over to the demon slayer in exchange for rewards. ”
Demon Slayer ......
Hearing this term many times repeatedly, as the name suggests, he also knew that this should be the institution related to dealing with evil spirits in the Western Xinjiang Great Fortress, Lu Zheng couldn't help asking:
"What rewards can I get in exchange?"
"I've seen the bounty notice, a C-shaped peripheral member can get a gold leaf reward, if you bring back these two A-character membership cards and bones, it shouldn't be a problem to replace them with twenty or thirty gold leaves. ”
Xi Gongzi thought for a while and said:
"However, the organization of ghosts and gods is pervasive, and they will report it, if they know that there is such a thing, it is very likely that they will launch cruel revenge, and if you want to receive the reward, you should be more careful. ”
Lu Zheng was noncommittal: "I will think about it carefully." ”
Twenty or thirty gold leaves are definitely a huge amount of money, and a small restaurant under the Western Xinjiang Da Sai Pan is enough, and it is a surprise for him to be able to use the corpses and tokens of this pair of dog men and women to receive the reward.
But to change or not, we have to wait and see if the pair of corpses can be recovered, after all, compared to the yellow and white things, the importance of strengthening the essence and the difficulty of obtaining it are much higher, so it is needless to say which is more important.
"Your Excellency, I have one more reluctant request. ”
At this time, Xi Gongzi took a deep breath and said:
"Our destination is also the Western Frontier Fortress, but the rest of the road is full of horse bandits and thieves, picking on the lonely merchant teams in the past. Now that we've lost a lot of manpower, I wonder if we can go with you tomorrow?"
Xi Gongzi also mentioned going together before, but the merchant martial artist at that time did not lose any personnel, and what he said was just kind words.
And now, the other party once again mentioned the request equivalent to the weaker party, and Ning Kun and the others, who heard this, glanced at each other and couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng.
"Your Excellency, and all of you, please rest assured that if there is any situation on this road, you will not be allowed to contribute in vain. ”
Xi Gongzi said sincerely:
"From now on, all the mountain goods in your walled city, our Litong firm will purchase them at a premium of 20% of the market purchase price, how about it?"
Everyone in the walled city was suddenly slightly happy, and the Xi Gongzi and Litong business in front of them also had a big effect on their follow-up plans, and Lu Zheng also smiled slightly:
"Of course you can, one more person has more strength, we will go on the road together tomorrow, and there are really thieves and horse bandits to deal with it together." ”
"Thank you!"
Hearing this, Xi Gongzi, Liang Hu, and another martial artist suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
The reason why Xi Gongzi initiated the invitation, on the one hand, is indeed the reason why thieves and horse bandits are rampant in the second half of the journey, and on the other hand, it is also a temptation.
They had all witnessed Lu Zheng's strength with their own eyes, and he was only half a step away from the great master of the fourth level of the Blood Qi Realm. And the caravan is now suffering heavy losses, and the only three remaining people tied together cannot be the opponent of the other party, plus they are in a deserted and remote post station, if the other party has any bad intentions, they will be buried here.
But fortunately, there was no conflict between the two sides when they met each other at the beginning, and Lu Zheng and his party seemed to be quite decent, and they didn't have any evil intentions at all, which made them breathe a sigh of relief.
Naturally, he didn't know the little Jiujiu in the hearts of Xi Gongzi and the others, and Lu Zheng asked some questions related to the ghosts and gods one after another, so he learned that although this cult organization was hiding in the shadows, its coverage was very large, and its members were almost scattered in the nineteen states of the new country.
The A, B, and C levels, the pair of men and women belonging to the black-clothed people, belong to the highest level of strength among the ordinary formal members, and basically only masters who have reached the inner strength realm are eligible to be promoted to this level.
Further up, it belongs to the middle and high-level of the ghosts and gods, and it is said that only the great masters who break the power barrier and achieve blood qi are qualified to step into this ranks, which shows the strength of the development of this cult force.
However, although the ghosts and gods are evil and powerful, they are nothing compared to the Demon Exterminator.
The Demon Eradication Division is a demon eradication institution supported by the power of a country in the new dynasty, mainly responsible for all affairs related to evil spirits, and the demon eradication and defense road.
This institution is not only in the Western Xinjiang Dasai, but also in the major cities of the nineteen states, and the martial arts masters are endless, and the background is very huge, far exceeding any Taoist sect, and the rights and status are extraordinary.
After chatting like this, most of the hours have passed, and Lu Zheng has a general understanding of the forces that these two parties may have to deal with in the future, and he is no longer ignorant.
At this time, the roaring fire outside was already a little smaller, and after experiencing such a thrilling first half of the night, chatting and chatting, most of the people looked tired, and Lu Zheng said in a timely manner:
"Okay guys, I'm going to hurry tomorrow, I'll continue to guard, you guys should hurry up and rest. ”
Ning Kun, Xu Yong and others all rushed to keep vigil, but they were all rejected by him, and everyone couldn't, so they had to obey, including Xi Gongzi's side, who was also lying or sitting one after another, closing his eyes.
After waiting for a while, everyone in the tulou breathed evenly, and the fire of burning corpses in the courtyard was almost extinguished, Lu Zheng stood up gently and walked out quietly.
Because the fire gradually went out, the entire courtyard was darkened, and the extremely pungent rancid smell was blown away by the cold wind, Lu Zheng came to the crematorium in the corner of the courtyard and squatted down.
With his previous memories and sporadic firelight, he could barely see the several humanoid skeletons lined up together, as well as another pile of strange and twisted bones, which could roughly distinguish their identities.
Looking back at the tulou where no one was snooping, Lu Zheng immediately wrapped a cloth in his hand and lightly tapped it on one of the bones that had obviously changed:
【Alienated Remains】
Quality: Normal (White)
Description: A corpse that has been violently distorted by the injection of specially refined demon blood.
Just white ordinary?
And how is it different from the name of those demon bones recovered in the walled wasteland?
The information on the panel flowed through his heart, and Lu Zheng's eyebrows raised suddenly, a little surprised.
He immediately noticed the difference between the information on the corpse and the demon corpse he had recovered in the past, and the most important thing was that the description of the panel lacked the words "the power of the ghost"!
Lu Zheng frowned, pointed to the corpse next to him, and got the same information.
And these two corpses are the old wolf and Dongzi, the two martial artists who have been alienated by the so-called ethereal blood.
Could it be that if you are not directly possessed by the evil spirit, there will be no existence of the power of ghosts and gods, and the quality will be reduced?
Thinking that these two martial artists were artificially created demons after all, Lu Zheng guessed in his heart, and then got up and came to the pile of hideously shaped husband and wife bones, and stretched out his hand:
【Evil Blood Bone】
Quality: Boutique (blue)
Description: The power of ghosts and gods is combined with the power of qi and blood to produce a specific change in the bones of the corpse, which can be recovered.
It's changed again!
This time it's recyclable!
Looking at the explanation in his sight, Lu Zheng's eyes were slightly happy, and he vaguely understood something.
Obviously, unlike the old wolf and Dongzi, the two demons that were artificially created tonight, the pair of dog men and women, as ghosts and gods, have already mastered the cultivation method of digging out the power of ghosts and gods from their own pollution, and it is because of this that there is a so-called combination of the power of ghosts and gods and the power of qi and blood.
And this also proves to some extent that the so-called control of excavation pollution and alienation by the ghosts and gods is not false!
This ghost and god people, if you have a chance in the future, you must investigate it carefully.
Thinking so in his heart, Lu Zheng did not hesitate, and silently recited to the hideous bones:
"Recycling!"
Call!
Invisible fluctuations swept in, and the deformed and terrifying black corpses of the man and woman turned into flying ashes one after another, and disappeared in place.
And the data on Lu Zheng's panel became:
[Remaining Enhancement Essence]: 95 points
Originally, there were 15 points left in the panel, which means that the bones of these two ghosts and gods combined brought him 80 points!
Especially the woman who took the blood of the void spirit before she died and completely deformed the explosive seed occupied the lion's share, providing a full 50 points!
This is undoubtedly the most valuable among all the bones that Lu Zheng has recovered so far.
"Nice, nice......"
The harvest of 80 points of enhanced essence is not low, and in the dark night, Lu Zheng, who has made a small fortune again, has a burning gaze and is overjoyed.
Because although these enhancement essences are not enough for him to strengthen an extraordinary item, they can basically be used as the starting capital for his 'entrepreneurship' in the Western Xinjiang Dasai!
