Chapter 54: Cholera Swamp
"Little Master, we should end this matter. The black robe looked at the young man who was a little broken, and still reminded.
"Steward Hua, I understand what you mean, but if my brother comes back......" Thinking of this, the young man showed a frightened look, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No!
"This can only be the case, the head of the family has already spoken. Speaking of this, the black-robed flower eagle paused, "But we can't do it, we can knock on the side and let others do it, as long as we don't let them know that we are secretly guiding, so it has nothing to do with us." ”
Dong Boran listened to the words of the black robe, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly bowed to the other party: "Please ask Elder Hua to dial." ”
Feng Ying saw that the other party was so courteous to him, and hurriedly held him up: "Little young master doesn't have to be like this, this is a matter of duty, there is no need to be like this." In fact, this matter is also easy to do, Lin Mo loves his subordinates, as long as they who have left the Dong Mansion know the news of Lin Mo's death, the other party will definitely hold a grudge, we just need to fan the flames. ”
"It's best to let the other party know that Lin Mo was humiliated by the disciples of the Evergreen Sect and committed suicide. ”
Dong Boran is also smart, he knows how to do it with a few clicks, and directly called the deputy commander of the guard in the palace to inquire about the situation, explained some things, and the deputy commander of the guard left.
Not long after, two trembling guards came to Dong Boran.
Seeing the two of them showing their fear on their faces, although there was some anger in their hearts, they were still covered up by him, and he smiled and said to the two, "I heard that you two have a good relationship with Lin Mo's subordinates?"
After two plops, the two knelt down and kowtowed and explained: "Wronged, young master! We have nothing to do with them! We are wronged." ”
They also just heard that their friend had left the Dong Mansion not long ago, and as a result, he was summoned to Dong Boran Courtyard, and they were naturally afraid of being implicated, and now they explained that even if the other party would not believe it, their attitude still needed to be expressed.
Looking at the two people who had already broken their heads, Dong Boran was a little irritable: "Don't knock! I'm not here to punish you for your crimes, everyone has their own ambitions, and this is also something that can't be helped." I summoned you here this time because I have something for you to do, do a good job of the past, and let you be promoted to squad leader. How?"
The two people who were kneeling on the ground raised their heads and looked at each other, and hurriedly said, "I will do my best to complete the task." ”
With the departure of the two, Dong Boran was a little thirsty, he picked up the teacup on the stone table, perhaps because the matter was resolved, and he relaxed a little, but the teacup was crushed by him.
The wind steward standing behind the young man shrank his pupils, looked at the young man who scolded the maid, showed a trace of struggle on his face, and as soon as he appeared, he was well hidden.
"Little master, since the matter here has been dealt with, then the subordinates will leave first and report the situation to the master's side. ”
"Oh, okay, okay. Congratulations to the wind butler. The young man arched casually towards the black robe, and did not look at the other party. This scene completely dispelled the hesitation of the wind steward.
......
Come to Fengzhenkou
A teenager is saying goodbye to a caravan merchant.
"Thank you, big brother!" a shy smile appeared on some immature faces.
"No, no, you little child, I still remind you not to go to the cholera swamp alone, it should still be possible to make a living as an errand boy in Laifeng Town, after all, children can gain the tolerance of the people here. The well-dressed young businessman, with a bloated body, tried his best to persuade him.
"Thanks, I understand. ”
Seeing that the young man was not impressed, the young businessman touched his round belly, sighed, and turned to leave.
Seeing the merchant leave, Rong Qingbai could finally take a look at this transit station to the cholera swamp - Laifeng Town.
Although Laifeng Town is used as a transit station, it is actually half a trading town, and in several surrounding cities, many merchants have come to buy goods here, such as herbs, monster furs, flesh and blood, demon pills and so on. And they would bring food, clothing, all kinds of talismans, elixirs, and weapons.
Gradually, there were many adventurers, cultivators, hunters, and gold diggers. Although the cholera swamp is very dangerous, the huge profits drive countless people to come.
Cholera swamp, one of the many murderous places in Changqing County, it is said that in ancient times, there was an evil phoenix descending on the Lingzhou continent, the mouth fell into the rock phlegm, cholera in the world, the people were not living, with the immortal mountain in the world, stepping out of the immortal from the top and fighting with it, moving mountains and seas, the world and the earth changed color, and finally the evil phoenix fell in the west of today's West Wind City, although the evil phoenix died, the corpse was surrounded by a ghostly fire that was difficult to extinguish, burned for a hundred years, and the atmosphere of cholera lingered.
Some people say that the miasma of the cholera swamp is the corpse of the evil phoenix, and the swamp is its corpse.
In Rong Qingbai's view, maybe this is true. Laifeng Town is also named after this.
He smiled indifferently and stepped into Laifeng Town. Different from the city, Laifeng Town does not have a fixed residence, and there are inns, restaurants, blacksmith shops, Baibao Pavilion, medical halls, green buildings and so on. There is no breath of life in the city, but it is full of blood-pumping hustle and bustle.
The sound of yo ho selling can be seen everywhere, the sexy women can be seen swaying everywhere, and the monks in fancy clothes can be seen everywhere walking between the streets.
The fresh sense of impact brought by the lively scene made Rong Qingbai also shine, so many years of "wandering career" In fact, he has entered the city very few times, let alone this kind of place. Going to the city is basically to supply food, talismans and the like, buying talismans in the city is much cheaper than here, and coming to this kind of bazaar town is also to buy herbs and leave early, and I haven't had a good experience! Walking the rivers and lakes carefully, I feel a little sad to think about it at this time.
It was still early before the grand meeting of the sect, Rong Qingbai was not in a hurry, this time he came to the cholera swamp, in fact, to collect ambergris grass, this herb is beneficial to the refining of the body, can speed up the opening of the knots, help the cultivation of the viscera, and when the time comes, it will become more perfect to promote the realm of Zhou Tianjing.
This herb is not only needed by Lin Wanrong and other people in the refining stage, but also by him who is now recultivating, and he needs to polish his path more perfectly.
Ambergris grass is extremely scarce in the entire cholera swamp, and there may be a lot of it in the depths, but the miasma over there is too dangerous, and the sect will rarely send someone to pick it in person, and the gains outweigh the losses. This kind of thing is actually not necessary for most immortal cultivators, but for a small number of demons, in fact, the sect's annual purchase is barely enough for demons.
Ah, except for the Evergreen Sect.
Thinking of this, Rong Qingbai sounded again, Wen Lixing, this sect master is unreliable! In the end, it still has to rely on me!
And this time his target is the more peripheral ambergris grass collection site that he inadvertently explored many years ago, when the ambergris grass was not fully mature, and he was busy, so he ignored it, and this time he was going to come to harvest!
Let's hope no one else finds out, and although the place is hidden in a huge space under the cracks in the rocks, it's hard to find, but maybe some people just shit luck has found out? After all, there are still too many people who enter it every day to hunt for treasure.
Just as Rong Qingbai was praying that no one would find the ambergris grass, a glutinous voice came from his ear: "That, little brother, you, do you need a guide?"
Turning his head, he saw a petite figure, the other party's cheeks were blushing, his slender arms were tightly holding a book, his big eyes were flickering, and he found that the young man was looking at her, and quickly squinted at the ground, which was very cute.
This is what the merchant said, and after touching his cheek carefully, Rong Qingbai found that his immature skin might really be able to do this!
Shaking off the strange thoughts, Rong Qingbai smiled and showed a smile that he thought was the best-looking: "Well, if you need it, help me find an inn with a better environment, is there anything else to eat?"
Speaking of eating, the boy seemed to think of something, and hurriedly took out the marshmallow he bought before and handed it to the little girl: "Na, give you a taste!"
When the girl saw the marshmallow, her eyes were bright, and her little hand carefully produced the marshmallow, and she ate it one bite at a time, Rong Qingbai looked guilty on the side, this thing has been bought for a few days, although this kind of thing in the ring will not be corrupted, but he still can't accept it.
Forget it, it will probably take a lot of time to go back this time, so let's talk about it then.
casually threw a relatively small spirit stone to the other party, making the other party exclaim, but he came to a nearby barbecue stall to buy some barbecue meat and eat it.
"Boss two more!"
"Okay!"
Such a conversation appeared on this street. The friendly nickname of "foodie brother and sister" began to circulate in Laifeng Town today.
Looking at the girl who followed Rong Qingbai, the other children who were in the same group showed envious looks, for them, a large part of the money needs to be handed over, and only a part of the money is left for themselves, if they don't get a job, they may lose a meal money.
But this girl is an outlier in their group, the girl's name is Wu Yi, and in their group there is a nickname called Honest Ghost Yiyi. She and her mother, who worked in a tailor's shop, had only recently come to town, and she had joined the town's team of "little guides".
But she did not join them, and she refused the offer of their proprietor. Although they have to hand over most of their money, they can still eat two meals that are not a full meal if they do not receive a job in a day. The teenagers in their situation are basically the main body, and those who don't fit in like the little girl basically join in the end.
If they hadn't met this teenager today, maybe their mother and daughter's days would have been difficult to eat today. Because the prices here are actually very expensive, the work of the tailor shop, even if it is a master with good craftsmanship, can only barely make ends meet.
"Brother Hua, look at Yiyi. Someone said enviously.
"Don't look at it! do your own thing, don't talk about it, do you know?" The young man who was called Brother Hua looked at a few people sternly.
The others smiled and nodded, everyone had actually been helped by Yiyi to a greater or lesser extent, and in their small group, honest Yiyi was a beautiful name, symbolizing kindness, bravery, and hope.
One of them, a young girl, bowed her head and said nothing.
In the evening, in a simple hut in the town, several children returned to the unified residence, and a girl with a dirty face chased after the group, trying to leave quietly.
"What are you doing?" a voice came, causing the little girl to tremble.
"No... It's okay, Brother Hua. I just want to go to the bathroom. The little girl looked at this boy who was usually a good big brother with some fear, and the boy at this time did not have the gentleness of the past, and looked at her with some fierce eyes.
"Ling'er, there are some things that can be said, some things that can't be said, you should know, Yi Yi helps you the most, you should know. The boy looked at her with some complication.
"Hmm~" The girl lowered her head and bit her lip, but her eyes were a little moist.
The boy tapped the girl on the shoulder and turned away, leaving her alone. Many times, the difference in treatment of circumstances will always be demagogic and develop towards the bad side.
In the boy's eyes, other people's smiles are someone else's after all, and no matter how much he complains, it will not be on his own face in the end.
