Chapter 220: Rescue on the Street Invited to dinner
Seven or eight people who have cultivated at the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining are surrounded by a spirit beast car, on which sat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, beautiful, heroic, hotly dressed girl, and two third-order flame tigers, while walking, from time to time they also spewed out flames to the crowds dodging on both sides of the street, causing the crowd who were hiding far away to let out an exclamation, lest they be able to avoid it.
When the beast cart was still dozens of feet away from the thunderstorm, the woman selling fruit along the street, with a child of two or three years old, had turned around to protect the child in consideration of the fruit stall, and it was too late, and when she saw the black flame spewed out by the flame tiger, she was about to endanger the child who was standing on the street in a daze, and was so frightened that she was crying, and the woman saw this, as if she was crazy, and pounced on her child, trying to use her mother's love and her body to block the hot black flame.
"Be careful!" The girl in the car, stunned, suddenly found that the intense flames spewed out by the 'Flame Tiger' had affected passers-by on the side of the road, and reminded loudly, but it was also a little late, and it was too late.
"Be careful!" roared the thunderstorm, and with ghostly speed, rushed down into the street, rolled up the woman and the child, and brought them back to the side of the road, avoiding the attack of the flames. The people who were hiding on the side of the road, all the people on the street, seeing that the two women were about to suffer misfortune, were saved by a young man, and the speed of the flames was completely synchronized, and the interval was less than a breath, and they couldn't help but burst into a burst of surprise and praise, and then closed their lips tightly, for fear of provoking the group of people who were driving the beast cart in the middle of the road.
Ao Yue saw the thunderstorm move, turned to the two flame tigers, and let out a small roar, the originally arrogant flame tiger, heard this roar, a spirit, immediately prostrate on the ground, trembling all over, their instantaneous reaction, pulling the girl's carriage, suddenly out of control, the carriage tilted forward, the girl sitting on the car, from the curtain of the carriage, straight out, fortunately, as a cultivator of the sixth-layer realm of qi refining, took advantage of the momentum to roll a donkey in the air, and stood firmly in the middle of the road.
The seven guards who accompanied the beast cart saw the sudden appearance, and one of the leaders shouted, "There are assassins!" Seven people brushed their swords together, three of them protected the girl, and the other four suddenly surrounded them in the thunderstorm.
"Who are you?" shouted the four leaders who gathered around them for the thunderstorm.
At this time, the girl also recovered from the shock, and saw the three thunderstorms standing on the side of the road, two handsome young people, and a beautiful girl, all wearing gray robes, which were completely different from the costumes of the local cultivators, and the cultivation was only in the fifth-layer realm of qi refining. Facing her four Qi refining seventh and eighth layer realm cultivators, they still had a look of indifference, and the rescuer was still there to comfort the frightened child, and he had no intention of making a move.
The girl saw the whole process of the thunderstorm saving people very clearly, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she stopped her guard: "Stand down!" and said to the woman who was still trembling in a friendly manner: "I'm really sorry, I accidentally disturbed you just now, Kexin can't compensate you, this bit of silver, take it to buy something for the child, suppress the shock!" said that from the money bag, he took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to the woman.
"No, no, no, it's fine, it doesn't have to be like this. The woman excused herself in fear, saying that she was lucky that she was fine, and that she would dare to ask for compensation.
"Take it, others are kind enough to compensate for it, if you don't take it, you will not be happy in the hearts of others, but you will cause trouble. Lei Yu persuaded in the pure Kunhong Continent, the local language.
"Then Xiexie Miss Yu, I'll kneel for you!" After taking the silver, the woman was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Yu Kexin.
"Xiexie, your timely help, otherwise Kexin will cause a catastrophe!" Yu Kexin said gratefully to Lei Yu and Ao Yue, with a very sincere attitude and great gentleness. I looked at the two of them just now, they were tall, they looked very handsome, chic, and their skin was crystal clear, not like the people here, they were all in the sun all day long, and they were all black.
"Take care of your 'Flame Tiger' first, lest it hurt passers-by again!" Lei Yu also said politely.
"Haode!" the girl replied with a smile, turned around, and whispered a few words to the leader, asking them to drive the beast cart back to the sect without their escort, the leader was a little uneasy, but what the young lady said, he had to obey, and a group of people drove the beast cart and disappeared at the end of the street.
"My name is Yu Kexin, a disciple of Tianji Sect, you are disciples of foreign sects, come and participate in the competition held by the Xianjian Sect in Meiwu County!" After the three of them swept their eyes again, Yu Kexin said generously.
"My name is Lei Yu, I didn't know that there was going to be a tournament here, we are from the Huangtian Continent, and we came here to practice. Lei Yu said apologetically, then reported his name, and introduced Ao Yue and Ding Biyao to her.
Yu Kexin was a little disappointed at first, and then heard them say that they were from the Huangtian Continent, and suddenly became excited again, and said eagerly: "Then did you come here through the teleportation array? It is a very distant place, I have long wanted to go to your Huangtian Continent's Sand City to worship the Holy Spirit, but there is no way, my father does not agree." You have come from afar, and you have no intention of participating in the competition, so let's make friends, maybe I can do my best to be a landlord and lead you to visit everywhere without some trouble. ”
"Then Xiexie Yu Daoyou's hospitality, we are really not familiar with it here. Lei Yu said with a smile, I didn't expect the girl from Kunhong Continent to be so enthusiastic and generous
"I know a restaurant that can reflect the characteristics of our dishes here, if you don't mind, I'll come to the east, invite the three of you to enjoy the light, taste it, and give Kexin a thin noodle?"
Came to a restaurant that was quite well decorated, Yu Kexin was obviously a frequent customer here, as soon as she walked into the restaurant, a middle-aged man in his forties, chubby, obviously the appearance of the shopkeeper, hurriedly stepped forward, nodded and said, "Miss Yu is here, I haven't seen you come over for a few days, I've been very busy lately, please inside!" said and personally led them to the private room inside.
"These are a few friends from afar, I'll take them to try Boss Zhao's cooking skills, don't let them down!" Yu Kexin said with a smile. "Miss, please rest assured, Zhao can save it, you can drink a cup of tea first, I will go and order the kitchen to cook, and the food will be served soon!" he said and stepped back and closed the door with his hand.
"In Meiwu County, there are four major sects, the shili of the Xianjian Gate is the largest, the Tianjian Sect ranks second, and my Tianji Gate is about the same as the Five Elements Gate, ranking third.
The four sects hold a ranking competition every five years to determine the distribution of tax benefits of the four sects in the county. The remaining dozens of sects in the western region also sent their disciples to participate in the competition for supremacy in the western region.
"Is the size of your four sects divided by the number of disciples of the sect?" asked Lei Yu curiously, the disciple competition, he was not interested in inquiring.
"No, the number of disciples of the four sects is actually about the same, and they all have 60,000 or 70,000 people. The larger the scale of the business, the bigger the shili, the more wealth gathered, and the faster the disciple's cultivation will improve. In turn, the greater the benefits obtained by the sect.
In the previous ranking competitions, the Xianjian Sect got the vast majority of the tax benefits by virtue of ranking first, and the scale of operation in the county gradually expanded, far exceeding the remaining three sects, and the strength of the disciples has also been steadily improved. Yu Kexin said with a sigh.
As a bystander, they stayed here for ten days at most, and they had the idea of never intervening in the dispute between their sects, and Lei Yu only listened, and did not ask carefully.
"Speaking of business, what is the price of Linggu here?" asked Lei Yu.
"At present, the three lower-grade stones in the Superior Spirit Valley are one catty, and the most expensive is the equipment, because it is located in the wasteland and the Gobi, there are a large number of cultivators, there are not enough refiners, and there is a lack of resources, so the price of the equipment is much higher than that of other places, and the elixir and spirit grass are not too expensive, and they are comparable to other regions. ”
As he was talking, Boss Zhao knocked on the door and came in, and then a cart full of dishes was pushed in, large plates of cold and hot dishes were spread all over the table, and more than a dozen pots of wine were placed on the cart.
"You take your time, whatever you need, call me at any time. After introducing the dishes, Boss Zhao added with a smile, and then exited the room.
With good wine and good food, Ao Yue is unceremonious to eat in the sea, Lei Yu and Ding Baguio chatted with Yu Kexin while enjoying the delicious local dishes, to be honest, the cooking skills here are not very good, and the dishes are also very ordinary, compared to the dishes in Shacheng that night, it is far worse.
As the conversation deepened, Lei Yu felt a little relieved that Yu Kexin had treated them so warmly. Zhu Yuliang, the head of the Xianjian Sect, cultivated in the middle of the infancy, and his son Zhu Tianjie, twenty-two years old, cultivated in the eight-layer realm of qi refining, relying on the absolute shili of the sect in Meiwu County, with a lustful voice and a dog, gambling on prostitution, and doing whatever he wants.
In order to strengthen the shili of the Xianjian Gate, and fell in love with her, the daughter of the head of the Tianji Gate, two months ago, the elders of the Xianjian Gate came to propose marriage on behalf of the head of the Zhu, promising the benefits of the marriage of the Tianji Gate. Although her father also knew about his son's shameless behavior, for the sake of the sect's interests, he agreed because of his feelings. Because of this, her father and daughter are now arguing.
This kind of thing, as an outsider's thunderstorm, of course, will not judge their rights and wrongs, nor will they intervene, just listen.
"Lei Daoyou, Ao Daoyou, Kexin saw that you made an extraordinary move today, and I want you to help me Tianjimen, help me, you put forward any conditions, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"
"How can we, as outsiders, help each other with this kind of thing?" Lei Yu couldn't bear to see her so sad, and said embarrassedly.
