Chapter 240: Gifts and Exchanges
Early in the morning, Wu Jian woke up to the song of birds. The sun shone on the windows, and the shadows of the branches swayed around like playful children. Pushing open the window, the fresh breath came to my face, and it was another morning.
Stretching his waist, Wu Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the sun seemed to be above his head. Well, how did you sleep for so long. Since entering the Great Heritage Continent, I haven't had a good night's sleep. I thought I was worried about danger, but why can I sleep so calmly here?
After looking around, I realized in my heart that it was this small building, this small building that may be commonplace outside the continent, but it gave an inexplicable peace of mind.
"My lord, please wash." Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, and a woman's voice came from outside the door.
When I opened the door, I saw two young women dressed as maids, holding wooden basins and snow-white silk scarves. Seeing Wu Gan, the two of them gave a salute and entered the house sideways.
A woman puts a silk scarf into a basin and moistens it slightly, and there are osmanthus-like flowers floating on the clear water, which is fragrant and refreshing.
"Your Excellency, please be seated." The woman motioned for Wu Gen to sit on the chair in front of the table, holding a towel in her hand, ready to wipe her cheeks. The other woman stood behind her, gently kneading Wu Gan's neck. The girl's fragrance and floral fragrance made Wu Gen feel an inexplicable feeling of numbness and crispiness in his heart. Since I was a child, I really haven't enjoyed such treatment.
Looking at the oncoming silk scarf, Wu Yan finally came to his senses and quickly stood up, "Thank you two, let's do this kind of trivial matter by yourself." Seeing that the two women still wanted to insist, Wu Yan hurriedly spoke, "By the way, what about the others."
"The adults have already finished eating, and the elders are chatting with them." A woman replied crisply.
"Ugh." Wu Yan grabbed the silk scarf, wiped it on his face a few times, and hurriedly went out, "Let's go, let's eat."
The two women hurriedly followed behind with their skirts, their eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and this adult was too shy, I didn't expect it to be so easy to serve. Yesterday, the clan lifted the two of them up overnight, lived with food and clothing, talked and dealt with them, and explained them one by one, for fear that something would go wrong.
When he went downstairs, Wu Yan saw that in the hall were the great elders Feng Qing, Hu Yan, and the shaman, who greeted him last night, chatting with Shui Congyue and the others, and they looked like they were getting along very well.
"Lord Wu, yesterday was a good rest, the village is poor, the scoop is empty, and a few adults are neglected." Feng Qing took the lead in getting up and gave a deep salute.
Wu Gen slandered in his heart, he was afraid of this kind of occasion, pouting his ass and talking about the scene one by one, whether he was tired or not. But he still hurriedly stepped forward to help the great elder up, and the hand of the elder was full of smiles, "Where do you say that, the elder is so thoughtful in arranging it, I really don't dare to do it.
If you don't feel at home, you can't sleep soundly. Hahaha, I don't dare to take this adult's words seriously, if the elder still looks up to me, you might as well call me Wu Yan or Xiao Wu."
"Where, where, you can deign to stay in the village, it is really an honor for the whole village. Since Lord Wu said so, then I will call my real name?" Feng Qing took Wu Gan's hand and didn't want to separate, and looked at Wu Gan with a smile.
Wu Yan sneered in his heart, what an old fox, I don't believe what happened yesterday This Great Elder didn't know, if it wasn't for the Converts, maybe a few of his own people would have already been prisoners by now.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, looking at Feng Qing's style, although he kept his mouth shut and didn't mention yesterday's incident, he faintly had the meaning of apology. It's just that, the scene still has to go, after all, this is on other people's territory.
"Elder, just call Xiao Wu, our group has just arrived, and the journey is embarrassing, disturbing your village, it's really abrupt." Wu Gen's delicate face was full of sincerity, and his face that had not yet fully developed was like a boy next door.
"Okay, then the little old man will be bigger, and call Wu Gan. A few people have traveled all the way, it is really hard, these days, you might as well take a break in the village. Come, bring it." Feng Qing was finally reluctant to let go of Wu Gan's hand and shouted in a deep voice outside the building.
Soon, three women each walked in with an ebony plate, all covered with red silk.
"Wu Gan, please come with me." Feng Qing motioned for Wu Gen to step forward and opened the first piece of red silk, which was a milky white porcelain vase, "This is the antler essence blood of the five-colored deer, take it."
It can increase the blood qi, and if you drink some when the martial artist breaks through, it can greatly increase the possibility of breaking through."
Wu Yan blinked when he heard this, what kind of blood is this, so strange, this old man won't coax himself. As if he saw Wu Gan's thoughts, Feng Qing stepped forward and picked up the porcelain vase and handed it to Wu Gan, signaling to pull out the cork on the bottle.
Wu Ganhu uncorked the bottle suspiciously, leaned over with his nose and sniffed it gently, and a smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of flowers came. Suddenly, Wu Gan's eyes kept up, his heartbeat accelerated violently, the blood and qi in his whole body rushed wildly, and a stream of heat rose from his lower abdomen to his chest. His hairy eyes were open, he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't wait to go out and fight a game to be comfortable.
"Good stuff." Wu Gan's face was flushed, and he hurriedly re-plugged the mouth of the bottle, for fear of running away with a trace of breath.
Feng Qing smiled slightly, opened the second piece of red silk, and there was a hexagonal box on the plate, but when he opened it, he saw two black pills. "This is the Qingxing Pill, a few newcomers to the Great Relic Continent, and they don't know how powerful the Chaos Shape is. If you are unfortunate enough to be possessed by the Chaos Form and eat this pill, you can kill the Chaos Form and avoid being controlled by it. However, the distinguished guests know that in the Great Relic Continent, they usually do not completely remove the chaotic form from the body, but divide the elixir and dissolve the chaotic form little by little, turning it into their own help."
Wu Yan nodded, Wu Yi told him. This Feng Qing solemnly put this Dan in the second place, obviously with good intentions. Wu Gen and the others took the golden pig in advance, and they were not afraid of chaos. But if other people who don't have this good luck come to the Great Relic Continent, the chaos form is a fatal existence. This pill can restrain the chaotic form, doesn't it protect his life.
Feng Qing was a little strange about Wu Gan and the others' attitude towards the Qingxing Pill, but when a few people hadn't heard of the Chaos Form, they turned to the third tray. When the red silk was opened, there was a long box carved from crystal, which contained a branch of herbs more than a foot long.
Even though there is a crystal seal, there is a faint cloud of colorful light on the herb, and at a glance, you can see that it is not ordinary.
"This is borrowed from the yang grass, if someone is dying and incurable, a flesh and white bone, vitality, and then a life to come back, has the effect of seizing the heaven and the earth." Feng Qing pointed to the herbs in the crystal, his face was a little reluctant, this is a life-saving thing.
Wu Yan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, walking in the Great Relic Continent, what is more precious than a life-saving herb. Compared to life, everything else is false. Feng Qing really understands the psychology of foreigners, and these three treasures are just right.
"It's an honor for a few distinguished guests to come to the village, please accept these vulgar things, and talk about my heart." Feng Qing stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"It's easy to say, it's better to be respectful than to obey." Wu Yan hurriedly glanced at the treasure elephant, and motioned to quickly put away the three treasures, "Since the elder is so gracious, then I also have some thin things here, and I ask the elder to smile."
He went back to the house and took a few bags of ingredients and came back, solemnly gave them to Feng Qing, gritted his teeth and said reluctantly, "Elder, don't look at these things as shabby, it's really not easy to get. I have the best appetite in my life, and these concordances are made by me who have traveled to seventy-two dangerous peaks, traveled to thirty-six rivers, and picked raw materials little by little. When placed in dishes, the food tastes delicious, comparable to dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
I have never dared to use it more on weekdays, so I have to sniff and satisfy my hunger. If you have a relationship with the elders today, let's bear the pain and send some to the elders." As he spoke, he put the ingredients heavily in Feng Qing's hand, but he couldn't bear to look at it again.
"Thank you." The elder's face was full of red light, and he accepted it excitedly, "Honorable guest, if you have nothing to do today, you might as well let Huyan accompany a few people to walk around in the village."
Wu Gan had nothing to do, and nodded again and again. Baoxiang and the others who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded, and the water shook from the moon's face, how could people be shameless to such a situation.
Finally fooled Feng Qing away, and after eating, the group turned around in the stockade accompanied by Huyan and others.
The stockade looks quite small, but because of the hill in the middle, there is not a lot of space available. At the foot of the mountain are all inhabited by people of lower status in the village, and the houses are also made of local materials and made of mountain stones. The further you go up the mountain, the higher the status, and the ancestral halls and witch temples in the village are built on the mountain.
When he was on the way, Hu Yan approached Wu Yan embarrassedly and asked in a low voice, "Lord Wu, there is something to discuss below."
"But the antidote?" Wu Gen smiled and glanced sideways
。
"Exactly. Please have mercy on my ignorant brother." Hu Yanyu approached to pray, and quietly handed over a cloth bag, "There are some celestial crystals here, I saw that the magic weapons used by adults need to be driven by this object, so I found some of them."
"Yes, it's the antidote. Tell your brother not to swallow it suddenly, but put it in your mouth to moisten it with saliva. This medicine is violent, so you must endure it." Wu Yan quietly took the cloth bag and took out a pill from his body. When this pill was still eating breakfast, Wu Yan secretly rubbed it out and added some chili powder to it.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." If Huyan got the treasure, he quickly put the pill in his hand, found a villager nearby, sent it to his younger brother, and carefully instructed him to take the taboo.
Baoxiang secretly came over, glanced at Hu Yan, and whispered, "Wu Gan, isn't that poison fake, why don't you tell him the truth, and you also got a fake antidote and took other people's things."
"The human heart." Wu Yan glanced at Bao Xiang with disdain, "If you tell him directly that it is fake, he will definitely be resentful and think that we are playing tricks on him. Give him a fake antidote, and he will be grateful to us.
In addition, unless it is a close relative, generally do not give it away for free. Things that are too easy to come by are often not cherished by the world. Second, if you collect too many free things, even if you charge a penny next time, the other party will not only not appreciate your generosity in the past, but will be angry.
People's hearts are so filthy, is there less to repay virtue with resentment? Therefore, people's hearts are cheap, good people are difficult to do, and they become bad people for some reason, and in the end it is better not to do it. Learn a little, there are many doorways here."
"Oooh." Baoxiang seems to understand whether he understands or not, and he is thoughtful.
Huyan arranged the antidote, and Xing Chongchong took Wu Qian and the others to the mountain, passing by a spacious place shaped like a small temple, where the priest Hubu was already waiting.
"My lords, this is where the Converts are enshrined." Hubu said and stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. Since these people have been blessed by the converts, they naturally want to invite others to come and have a look, but the villagers believe in the converts.
guessed the other party's thoughts, Wu Gen was amused in his heart, but he didn't refute Bu's face, and led everyone into it.
As soon as you enter the temple, you will be greeted by a tall cloth banner with a huge spiritual dwelling embroidered on it. On the stone table under the Lingju, there is a small Kunzhen Tower.
"Whoever is blessed by the Lord of the Truths will be given a pagoda. At the beginning of each month, the people of the village will gather here, light incense, and pray sincerely, that the Converts will live forever." Hubu Bi respectfully introduced.
Wu Gen looked at the spiritual dwelling on the cloth banner with great interest, the soul of the convert, and passed down this method, it was like a temple in the world collecting incense and spiritual power.
