Chapter 32: The Black Fog Forest
The two of them were walking on the road, and Lan Ningshuang suddenly asked: "The task of slaying demons and monsters is mostly to uproot demons and monsters and protect the safety of the people, why didn't I know that they still accepted the task of guarding?" ”
"Do you know, Jinyang City is a small city, and the Great Qian Dynasty has not given much money here, if they fail to eradicate the demons and monsters, then there will be no additional income, and it may not be enough for them to cultivate.
Therefore, the Si Zheng here is the Shi Ziming you saw last time, allowing his subordinates to accept tasks from ordinary people, earn some extra money, and subsidize themselves. Qin Feng explained slowly.
"I see." Lan Ningshuang nodded, as the sword servant of the Liu family, she had never worried about money, and the medicinal bath and blood qi pill necessary for cultivation were also very sufficient, so she didn't know about these.
It didn't take long for the two of them to come to a four-entry compound, and this was where the Jinyang City Demon Slayer Division was located.
Next to the gate of the Demon Slayer Division, there is a wooden fence, which is covered with white paper, and most of the tasks written on the paper are the tasks issued by ordinary people, as well as the rewards given.
There is no shortage of strange content, such as helping to find the rhubarb lost at home, or visiting the Qinglou at night in his own family, begging the lord of the Demon Division to capture him, if he can interrupt one of them, the reward will be doubled......
And so on and so forth.
However, a family with a title like the Qin family does not need to issue tasks here, and can go in directly to find someone.
Qin Feng walked into the mansion with Lan Ningshuang, except for some people who were cultivating, most of them had nothing to do, and in places like Jinyang City, where birds don't, it seemed that even demons and monsters didn't bother to patronize it.
Last time, if it wasn't for the sake of killing himself, I am afraid that he would not have come to such a place......
Qin Feng found a gray-haired old man in the room, he was the master of the note here, if he wanted to hire someone to be a guard, asking him was the most efficient.
"Isn't this Qin Gongzi, when it was dawn today, I still saw your father, what's the matter, what's the matter with coming to find the old man?"
"I'm going to the Black Mist Forest twenty miles away, and I need to hire a guard."
"Black Mist Forest?" The old man was shocked, and when the demon slayers near him heard these three words, they also looked sideways, and a trace of jealousy flashed in their eyes.
No wonder they have this reaction, the Black Mist Forest is not a good place, it is said that every night, when the moonlight shines into the Black Mist Forest, there will be black fog permeating the field, obscuring the vision, and the word Black Mist Forest also comes from this.
But if that's the case, it won't make these people smell bad.
The most important thing is that there are unusual demon beasts in the Black Mist Forest!
It is often heard that when the mountain village man chops wood, passing through the periphery of the black fog forest, he can often hear the terrifying roar, and whenever that happens, the whole mountain forest will tremble, and the birds and beasts will be frightened and run in all directions.
To be able to make such a big movement, you don't have to think about it to know how terrifying the strength of the demon beasts in the forest is.
Some people even speculate that the demon beast is afraid that it has reached more than four turns of robbery power, and has awakened its natal supernatural power twice, if anyone strays into the mountains and forests and meets it, it will definitely die for life!
Over time, this black fog forest has also become a forbidden place for everyone to default to.
"Gongzi Qin, what are you going to do in such a fierce place."
Qin Feng replied with a smile: "It's not that I go deep into the mountains and forests, and I don't think I'm going to have a long life, this time I just want to pick some fruits on the periphery of the Black Mist Forest."
I knew it would still be dangerous, so I was willing to pay ten taels of silver as a reward. ”
Yes, Qin Feng's purpose this time was to pick the last key ingredient of the hot pot, a fruit called vermilion fruit.
It is recorded in the "Daqian Baicao Lu" that there is a kind of red thumb-shaped fruit in the periphery of the black fog forest, which is born in May and June, and is defeated at the end of November, its taste is spicy, it is difficult to swallow, and because of its red color, it is called vermilion fruit.
And this thing is the well-known chili pepper in the previous life!
Ten taels of silver is already a lot, you must know that a blood qi pill, but only five taels of silver, Qin Feng originally thought that there would be a brave man under the heavy reward, but these demon slayers seemed to be even more cowardly than he originally expected......
Just when everyone looked at each other and was silent, a familiar voice suddenly remembered in their ears: "I took this task." ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked for prestige, just because it was Cang Feilan!
"Why didn't you listen to Yuxuan yesterday?" Before Qin Feng could say hello, Cang Feilan took the lead, and there seemed to be a trace of displeasure in her tone.
"I just got married, and there are too many things at home, so I didn't go to listen to Yuxuan."
Cang Feilan was silent for a moment when she heard this, tilted her head to look at Lan Ningshuang, looked up and down, and frowned slightly.
But for some reason, when she saw the other party's chest, her slightly frowning brows slowly stretched, but this slight change made Lan Ningshuang feel a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"This is your lady?" Cang Feilan asked.
Before Qin Feng could answer, Lan Ningshuang immediately replied: "I am Miss's sword servant Lan Ningshuang, responsible for guarding my uncle's safety, who are you?" ”
"Demon Slayer Si Cang Feilan." The tone is flat like a pool of autumn water, without any waves.
Lan Ningshuang tilted her head and looked at Qin Feng, her eyes seemed to be asking about the relationship between the two.
"My friend." Qin Feng replied truthfully.
When Cang Feilan heard this, she also looked at Qin Feng, her pale cyan eyes reflected the other party's face, and she didn't know what she was thinking, seeing Qin Feng's little heart tremble inexplicably, she always felt that she had said the wrong thing......
"Let's go, while it's still early, maybe we can rush back to Jinyang City before it gets dark." Cang Feilan turned and left.
Qin Feng followed closely and stood side by side with the former.
Seeing this scene, Lan Ningshuang thought about it and followed.
The gray-haired old man was still wondering why the girl who had never taken on a mission would take on such a task, when a sudden crunch sound sounded in his ears and instantly startled him.
When he turned his head, it was Shi Ziming holding a plate of peanuts over there, chewing and drinking.
"Lord Sizheng, when did you come?"
"When the show was on, I was there, but I didn't show my head." Shi Ziming replied inarticulately.
"Good show, what good show?" The old man was puzzled.
"Hey, no eyesight." Shi Ziming didn't say anything, and left leisurely with peanuts in his hand, leaving only a gray-haired old man with a puzzled face.
......
On the other side, the Jinyang City Lord's Mansion.
One person hurriedly ran into the house and reported to Ye Heng: "Report to the City Lord, Qin Feng, the eldest young master of the Qin family, who stepped out of Jinyang City with the two girls not long ago, intending to go to the Black Mist Forest!" ”
When Ye Heng heard this, his eyes lit up: "I'm still worried that I don't have a chance to show loyalty to the Tang family, but this kid took the initiative to send it to the door, Luoting!" ”
"The child is here."
"Go and tell Lord Wang about this!"
Hearing this, Ye Luoting left in a hurry.
Ye Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "If you can kill that kid and give it to Tang Gongzi as a gift with his head, our Ye family's entry into Fengtian City is just around the corner!" ”
