Chapter 15: The Tiger and the Wolf are reckless
Luo Xixian was surprised: "Master Zhao, how many wonderful methods do you still have hidden in your stomach?" ”
Zhao Xiao smiled and said nothing, this method of watching the fire and burning the body was actually a combination of the Sun and Moon Refining Method passed down by Ling Xiao and the Nine Palaces Shouyi Law, and Zhao Xiao himself deduced and simplified it.
The first palace of the nine palaces in my mind is the Mingtang Palace, thinking that the sun and the moon are in the Mingtang Palace, turning into a jade bell and jade mirror. The jade bell vibrates and makes a sound, which can get rid of the charm and keep the spirit for a long time; The jade mirror exudes red light, which can incinerate evil spirits and protect the body.
According to Lingxiao's narration, in ancient times, immortals, demons and ghosts were mixed, and the immortal cultivators were most likely to attract spirits and evil spirits to snoop and invade, even if they didn't know the art of killing, they also had the means to protect their body and mind.
The sun and the moon refine the form, and the bright hall is bright. This light can not only illuminate one's own body internally, refine the yin essence, but also illuminate externally to break through the darkness and evil turbidity.
It's just that Zhao Xiao has not yet cultivated the ability to emit the red light of the Mingtang Jade Mirror when he opens his eyes, and the means he used to Luo Xixian are nothing more than using illusion to guide him, linking the uncleanness in his heart with the external filth, and then casting a spell to burn the filth of the corpse. In this way, the fire is raised from without, and the heart is no longer disturbed by the sight of filth.
"It's you Luo Dajian Immortal who is pampered." Zhao Xiao motioned to Boss Wu, who was roasting in a dilapidated house in the distance: "It's like people are used to seeing dead bodies on the battlefield, and there is no." ”
Luo Xixian didn't care, and asked, "Do you really believe in this Boss Wu?" What if it's a trap? ”
"That's why I didn't let Boss Wu's other guys come with me, and the post station also asked Senior Sister Xin to arrange for someone to keep an eye on that group of guys, just to prevent someone from reporting the news." Zhao Xiao said: "Actually, I hope it is a trap, then the other party will definitely send people to besiege us, and it will not be an idle person in any case." When the time comes, those who kill and catch will be caught, and they can still ask for merit and rewards if they hold the live mouth. I'm worried that no one will come, so I'll run for nothing. ”
Luo Xixian pondered: "If it is really a trap, then it should also be ambushed in the town." But we had walked around before, and we didn't see half a living person. ”
Zhao Xiao pointed his finger to the sky: "I have already put three paper cranes circling in mid-air to monitor, if anyone approaches the town, they can detect it in advance." ”
Luo Xixian looked up at the dim night sky: "I knew that the paper crane passed the book, and there could be this kind of play?" ”
Zhao Xiao said: "I work in Chengyang County, and the teacher can know the cause and effect, guess how he did it?" ”
The paper crane soaring is the first spell that Zhao Xiao learned, as long as he recited the feathering spell three times towards the paper crane, and at the same time thought about the bird spirit to descend, it can make the paper crane soar; Or if you have succeeded in refining qi, you can spit out true qi towards the paper crane and make it fly in the air.
This technique is also one of the standards for the cultivation of the museum, if you can't even perform the paper crane flying, it means that the cultivation foundation is lacking, or the talent is insufficient, or it is difficult to focus, in short, there is no need to waste years on this road.
And like Zhao Xiao, who is good at talismans, he can also fold various talismans into paper cranes, so that he can replace his own eyes and ears and reconnoiter the Quartet.
Concentrating on oneness and gaining vision in multiple directions at the same time in your mind is an extremely mysterious experience.
The dull and boring night passed quickly, and when the day was bright and everyone was lighting a fire on the stove of the house, Zhao Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and stood up: "Someone is coming from the north of the town. There are ten people in total, all on horseback! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately raised their vigilance, and Luo Xixian plucked onions from dry land and jumped to the roof next to him, looking into the distance, and the dust was faintly visible.
"Someone is really coming! What now? ”
Zhao Xiao found Boss Wu: "You are ready, if it is the connector of Chiyundu, then answer well." Others, don't be quiet! ”
A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves entered the town, and ten fierce horsemen rode in, the first of them wearing half-crippled armor that could only cover their torsos, carrying spears and bows and arrows at their waists, and their horses spewing white mist in the cold wind.
"But the caravan of the Tamagawa Wu family?!" A black-faced rider shouted loudly, still a little immature to hear.
Boss Wu hurriedly ran to the center of the town and waved in the direction of the street: "It's me, it's me!" But the heroes of Chiyundu? ”
The riders crossed the long street and came to Boss Wu, and did not dismount, the black-faced rider looked left and right vigilantly, he saw Zhao Xiao and others hiding in the house, raised his spear and shouted: "Who are they?" ”
Boss Wu smiled all over his face: "Those are all my buddies, all the way north, I rely on them to help." Heroes rest assured that they don't chew their tongues. ”
The black-faced rider asked, "What about the goods we want?" ”
"It's all here!" Boss Wu waved at Zhao Xiao and the others: "Hurry up, pull the car out and let the heroes inspect the goods!" ”
Zhao Xiao and others brought the carriage to the rider, lifted the tarpaulin, and under it was an ochre red clay pot covered with rattan nets, the mouth of the pot had a thick mud seal, and the ox head emblem of the Jiuli Kingdom was stamped, and in order to prevent bumps, a number of quilts were also padded.
"According to the agreement, a total of one hundred and twenty pots of dragon blood lipids are all produced in the Shengyu Valley of the Jiuli Kingdom." Boss Wu directly picked up a pot, unsealed the mud, and handed it to the black-faced rider.
The other party took the clay pot, did not raise his head to drink, but tilted the clay pot slightly, hooked out some dark red juice with his fingers, and rubbed it directly between his lips and teeth.
Seeing the black-faced rider, he bared his teeth and twisted his head and stretched out his neck, unable to tell whether he was in pain or refreshed, and a layer of strange red appeared on his dark face.
Zhao Xiao could see that this was clearly a manifestation of dragon blood lipids stimulating qi and blood. You must know that the original juice that has not been extracted and refined is still somewhat toxic. If you put it in your mouth like this, your mouth and tongue will probably be numb and stiff.
But the black-faced rider eased up after a few breaths, and shouted a few times with a refreshed face: "Cool! That's it! ”
"Good man, then this batch of goods ......" Boss Wu rubbed his hands non-stop.
"Wu Dangjia has worked hard, we want this batch of goods!" The black-faced rider raised his chin, and the rider behind him mounted a horse to surround Zhao Xiao and the others.
"Wait! What are you going to do? Boss Wu's face was shocked: "This is different from what he said!" You said you'd pay! ”
The black-faced rider sneered, "It's your honor to work for us Chiyundu." In the future, when we take Xingluo County and sweep the entire Huaxu Kingdom to the south, we will naturally give you the title of official and knight! Now this carload of goods should be regarded as the contribution of your Wu family. ”
Boss Wu changed his humble posture at this time, his eyes were wide with anger and his bearing was fierce, he pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "I think which of you dares to rob?!" ”
"Yo ho?" The black-faced rider laughed instead of being angry: "Master Wu, if you don't pull out the knife, I can still let you go back." Draw a knife, but you're killing yourself. ”
"Fuck your shit!!" Boss Wu shouted like thunder, and even Zhao Xiao was secretly surprised, and this Boss Wu immediately recovered the bloody nature of the old soldier in the past.
The black-faced rider was obviously also taken aback, and Boss Wu's hands were as fast as lightning, and he actually stepped forward, grabbed the black-faced rider's arm and wrist, and ripped him off the horse. Seeing this, the other riders were about to make a move, and Boss Wu immediately put the scimitar on the neck of the black-faced rider:
"Don't move! Whoever wants to move, I will kill him immediately! ”
The blade was sharp, I don't know how many times it had been sharpened, and just the few shouts left a bloody mark on the blackface rider's neck, making him angry and almost devouring.
When Zhao Huang saw this scene, he tried his best to hold back a smile. Although this black-faced rider also has some courage, it is estimated that he can only bully ordinary people. In the face of Boss Wu, a tiger and wolf who had experienced the Great War of the Five Kingdoms, he was put on the neck with a knife blade in one shot.
"The surname is Wu, what are you doing?" The black-faced rider was word-by-word, and hatred filled his chest.
"What am I doing? I still want to ask, what the fuck are you doing?! As a result, Boss Wu spat on the stars and flew angrily, suppressing the momentum of the black-faced rider who was about to explode: "Lao Tzu tried his best to get this cart of dragon blood fat from the barbarian Jiuli country, hung his head on his waist, passed through the entire Huaxu country, and came to Xingluo County as if he didn't want to die, just to sell it to you Chiyundu."
You fucking dare to rob Lao Tzu's goods?! Don't pee on your black face, thinking that riding a horse is a thief in the green forest? You born of, dare to pretend in front of Lao Tzu?! It's against you! ”
With two snaps, Boss Wu slapped the black-faced rider twice, and the sound was loud, not only the surrounding riders were stupid, but even Zhao Xiao and everyone were stunned.
The corners of the black-faced knight's mouth twitched, and it looked like he was about to cry, I am afraid that he had never been scolded so harshly since he was a child.
"If it weren't for the fact that you Chiyun are all on the rivers and lakes and have loud signs, Lao Tzu wouldn't have risked killing his head to do such a thing!" Boss Wu's momentum is undiminished: "Don't think that you can do it in front of Lao Tzu, who is not a knife licking blood?" If you want dragon blood lipids, then obediently take the money out! If you don't have any money, take me to someone who can pay! ”
The black-faced rider had no choice but to say, "Our boss has money!" ”
"Where is he?" Boss Wu asked.
"It's in nearby Tangpen Mountain!" The black-faced rider replied, "It's not far, it will be there in an hour." ”
"Lead the way!" Boss Wu grabbed the black-faced rider and pressed him to the wheel, signaling the other riders to lead the way.
Zhao Xiao secretly gave Boss Wu a thumbs up, and then drove the paper crane to fly forward to find out the situation in mid-air.
……
Yubonshan is not a big mountain, it is a circle of low hills, but there is a hot spring pond inside, and the heat rises, and it is shaped like a hot spring basin. A gang of thieves is encamping here, and women who have been taken from the nearby market towns and villages are accompanying them in hand-to-hand combat in the hot springs.
"About two hundred men, but not much fortification and defense." With the help of paper cranes, Zhao Huang roughly figured out the situation of the thief's camp from mid-air, and whispered to Luo Xixian: "But I don't think they will have much money, I'm afraid they don't plan to buy this batch of dragon blood lipids in the first place." ”
Luo Xixian covered his mouth and sneered: "In the final analysis, he is still a thief who is not a climate." ”
Zhao Xiao asked: "Wait a minute, it is estimated that there will be a fight, what are your plans?" ”
"Boss Wu reminded me of his actions just now." Luo Xixian stared at the backs of those thieves: "As long as you restrain the leader and kill a few more people to deter the scene, the other minions will naturally disperse in a hurry." ”
"The premise is that there are no masters on the other side." Zhao Xiao handed Luo Xixian a golden armor talisman: "The scene is messy, I guess I can't cover you." ”
"Understand, you just have to take care of yourself."
The rider led the way, and it didn't take long for them to come to the outside of Tangpot Mountain, where several thieves came out to greet them, but they saw the black-faced rider being stuck on the wheels and couldn't move, which immediately caused a commotion in the camp.
Some people ran to report the news, some people panicked and set up knives and guns, and there were women screaming by the hot springs, and the scene was chaotic for a while, but no one dared to stop the carriage from entering the camp.
Boss Wu drove a car in one hand and a knife in the other, his thighs pressed against the back of the black-faced rider, and his expression was calm, not paying attention to the thieves gathered around him.
"Who dares to bully my eldest man?!"
There was a loud shout from the village, and a big black man stepped forward shirtless, carrying a steel knife in each hand, with a big belly and a chest covered with curly black hair, and came fiercely.
"Yuchuan Wu Yang!"
Boss Wu stepped on the back of the black-faced rider, and saw the rider crying at the black man, "Dad! Help me! ”
This shout made the corners of the originally fierce black man's mouth twitch, and his son was asking for help in everyone, which made him feel deeply embarrassed.
"Tamagawa Wu Yang?" The black man immediately understood: "Are you here to deliver dragon blood lipids to Master Wu?" ”
"It's for sale! I don't send it! Boss Wu worked hard under his feet, this time he was out of the way, and he was full of pride and catharsis: "At the beginning, you people from Chiyundu came to me and said that they wanted to buy a car of dragon blood lipids. Now I have brought the goods, but your son is robbing them without knowing whether he is alive or dead. I see that there are many green forest heroes in Chiyundu, and I didn't chop up your son with a knife, and I came to the door to ask for money in person. ”
The black man's forehead veins were convex and beating, and he was so angry that he couldn't wait to step forward and tear Boss Wu to pieces. But the other party's knife was on his son's neck, and a stroke of his hand could end his son's life.
Pressing the impulse, the big black man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's give money!" How much do you want? ”
"Seven thousand taels of silver." Boss Wu quoted directly: "The silver cake is not enough, it can be exchanged for seven hundred taels of gold!" ”
The gold and silver exchange of the countries of Kunlun Continent may not be ten to one. Huaxu was relatively rich, and there were frequent exchanges with other countries, resulting in a situation of more silver and less gold, so seven thousand taels of silver could not be exchanged for seven hundred taels of gold.
As for the seven thousand taels of silver, as long as it is not in a place like Dongshengdu, it is more than enough to buy a farm and house elsewhere and settle down. If you have a good business, you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.
When the big black man heard this price, his face was ugly, and whoever he could understand was that he couldn't take out seven thousand taels of silver at all.
If there is such money, who will come out and be a thief?
"Master Wu laughed, we won't be able to come up with this money for a while." The big black man said with a gloomy face.
Boss Wu snorted coldly: "No money? You robbed most of Xingluo County, and told me that you didn't have any money?! ”
The black man was impatient: "If Wu Dangjia goes to have a glass of wine first, I will send someone to go to the Yunyan helm quickly, where our brothers' money and food are in charge, and we will definitely be able to take out the money." ”
"Rudder of Yunyan?" Boss Wu asked, "How many days do you have to come and go?" ”
"Hurry up, you can always come in seven or eight days." The black man forced a smile and gestured: "Boss Wu, my stupid son doesn't know masters, you might as well move, and I will personally pour you wine to apologize." ”
"Seven or eight days? I can't afford to wait! With a lift of his hand, Boss Wu slashed the neck of the black-faced rider with a scimitar, and blood spurted out.
