Chapter 101: Acting
In the center, a towering gate was closed, and the gap between it and the stone wall was covered with sand and cobwebs, which looked like they hadn't been opened for years. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In front of the city gate, the ruins were buried inside, and some magic circle imprints could be faintly seen.
Wu Moxie and his party, who were about to enter the city, did not walk towards the city gate, but bypassed the ruins in front of the city wall and came to a corner where they were not shocked, and the convoy stopped.
An old man wearing the robes of the Yu tribe was resting at the corner of the city wall, leaning against the painted stone wall, and saw a convoy coming in the dust.
Wu Moxie jumped down from the back of the one-horned elk, walked in front of the old man, and saluted slightly.
The old man opened his eyes and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
Wu Moxie, who had spoken to Zhang Yu before, immediately said: "Old man, we are a caravan from the south, and we have come to buy the Ecstasy Grass, and we hope to let us pass." ”
As he spoke, Wu Moxie took out ten soul stones from the soul ring and handed them to the old man, which was regarded as paying the entrance fee to the city.
The old man quietly put away the soul stone, raised his head slightly, and after looking at the convoy behind Wu Moxie, as soon as he raised his hand, the stone wall behind him suddenly twisted and changed into a road.
"In that case, you must know the rules, right?" reminded the old man.
"Of course. Wu Moxie nodded humbly, waved his hand at the convoy behind him, and walked off the path paved with bluestone.
Ecstasy grass is a kind of medicinal herb abundant in the Burial God Sea, although the grade is not high, it can achieve the effect of paralyzing nerves in some aspects, and it is also a necessity for the refining of some pills.
The Yu people have inhabited the middle of this desert for many years, and naturally there is no shortage of this grass, even to the point that it needs to be destroyed. Therefore, when the Yu people faced a caravan coming to buy it, they did not mind exchanging this grass for some items and food outside the desert.
However, when these caravans stepped into the territory of the Yu people, there were rules in it.
First, it is not allowed to trade or even talk with the Yu people other than the principal; second, it can only stay in the Yu people's land for two days at most; and third, it is resolute not to move around at will. Otherwise, the Yu people don't mind tearing their faces and immediately dividing you into enemies that are unfavorable to the Yu people.
At the end of this bluestone road, you can take in the streets and alleys in the city, carved fence buildings, people flow like an influx, and you can see a piece of prosperity.
It is hard to imagine that in this barren Gobi Desert, there is such an oasis, as if separated by two lifetimes. On one side is the yellow sand, and on the other side is a paradise.
What a miracle is it, could it be that God really created this land in the desert?
The convoy slowly marched through the street, and the Yu people passing by also looked surprised, and after glancing at it twice, they left on their own.
"Hey, you guys!"
The shouts came from the side, and when I looked sideways, I saw several young people walking over, their faces full of arrogance.
Wu Moxie stopped and stood quietly in place.
"You're here to buy Ecstasy Grass?" one of them was dressed in a brocade robe and a glazed purple crown, and seemed to be the leader.
"That's right. Wu Moxie nodded.
"Come with me. The brocade-robed young man waved his hand and motioned for the convoy to follow him, it seems that the Yu clan specially arranged for someone to pick up the caravan here.
Thinking of this, Wu Moxie knew it in his heart, took out ten soul stones again, and handed them to the young man at the head.
"There's Brother Lao. ”
"Alas, brother, why are you so polite~"
Seeing the soul stone, only the soaked young man on the third layer of the Initial Realm suddenly relaxed, and although he was politely refusing, he did not accept it politely.
With this process, the young man at the head naturally got acquainted with Wu Moxie a lot, and seeing that he was about the same age as himself, he even patted the latter's shoulder, talking and laughing along the way.
From the conversation, it was learned that the young man named Zhang Hu was a descendant of the Yu clan, but because his cultivation qualification was only a pawn soul, he was transferred to meet the caravan that came to buy Ecstasy Grass. Although the salary he received was not much, he was also idle, and from time to time he was able to get some oil and water from the hands of these merchants, but he lived freely.
"Brother Wu, look at the above, it is the barrier condensed by the Great Protector Array, which can not only resist the raging sandstorms in the desert, but also prevent the invasion of foreign enemies. Zhang Hu's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and he seemed to be introducing Wu Moxie, but he was quite showing off.
But Wu Moxie's mind was not on it, and he didn't even bother to deal with the smile, looking around from time to time, looking worried.
"Brother Wu?" Zhang Hu blocked Wu Moxie's sight with his hand.
"Huh?" Wu Moxie was stunned.
"What are you looking at?"
Blocked by the entire palm, Wu Moxie frowned slightly, faintly expressing dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Zhang Hu withdrew his hand apologetically, and said solemnly: "Brother Wu, it's not that I, Zhang Hu, am hypocritical, it's just that there are rules in the clan, and you foreigners can't walk around, and I also have the obligation to watch you." ”
"Don't worry about this, my people and I are measured, and I won't make it difficult for you, Brother Zhang. ”
"That's good. Zhang Hu's face was slightly relaxed.
"It's just, dare to ask Brother Zhang, is the Yu clan involved in any other transactions besides Ecstasy Grass?" Wu Mo said evilly.
"Other aspects? Brother Wu also asked me to make it clear. ”
Wu Moxie sighed, his face suddenly gloomy, as if he had encountered something terrible, and people couldn't help but feel the sorrow in it.
Riding a white horse behind him, Zhang Yu, who was wrapped in a linen robe, also snickered, but he didn't expect Wu Moxie's acting skills to be so good.
"This burial of the Divine Sea, our caravan is also the first time to come, and on the first day of arriving here, someone was lost. Wu Moxie had a sad face.
"It's really unfortunate, I don't know if anyone has found it?" Zhang Hu immediately expressed his condolences, but he didn't know that he was walking into Wu Moxie's words step by step.
"Found it. Wu Moxie nodded.
"Since it's been found, then you should be happy, why is Brother Wu still worried?" Zhang Hu wondered.
Wu Moxie shook his head and sighed silently, but after a while, he raised his eyes, looked into Zhang Hu's eyes, and asked sadly, "Brother Zhang, does you know that the corpse gas is poisoned?"
"Corpse gas?" Zhang Hu's face changed suddenly, and even his body was shocked. He looked at Wu Moxie dead and said, "You went to the Fallen God Gully?!"
"What is it?" Wu Moxie didn't react.
"It's the place in the desert where corpse qi is generated! only people who have been there will be infected with corpse qi!" Zhang Hu said in an agitated tone.
"Oh...... It turned out to be called the Fallen God Gully......"
Wu Moxie sighed and said: "That's the Fallen God Gully, that's right, after he came back, the whole person was in a state of delirium, and his body was full of sores and pus, alas...... It's miserable!"
Zhang Hu thought thoughtfully: "So Brother Wu, you want to ask for the Five-Rank Pure Eclipse Pill to dissolve the corpse qi?"
"Brother Zhang is so smart, I'm bowing down!" Wu Moxie hurriedly slapped a sycophant.
Zhang Hu frowned and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded.
"I may be able to help you get the Pure Eclipse Pill, Brother Wu, but it will cost a lot of money. ”
"Save people and slaughter, at any cost!" Wu Moxie's face was awe-inspiring, and he clenched his fists with both hands.
