Chapter 31: The Old Shoemaker of the Great Snow Mountain
This woman's name is Tochiotome, and her voice is crisp and beautiful.
The world will like to let this kind of beautiful woman talk about business, take advantage of men's lustful psychology, and promote some additional services, so that people who come in can spend more money.
"Inquire about the whereabouts of the three men."
Huang Quan's tone was decisive, and he was not affected by Tochiotome's beauty in the slightest, because he only recognized Huang Lingji in his eyes.
"Inquire about the news of three people, it is three businesses, follow me."
Seeing that Huang Quan was so cold, and her beauty was invalid, Tochiotome was suddenly a little disappointed.
She ushered Huang Quan into a private room and brewed fragrant tea.
"Jizo Star, Earth Punishment Star, Earth Dog Star, I want information about these three bandits, as well as the latest whereabouts."
Huang Quan took a sip of tea and went straight to the point.
"One Hundred and Eight Bandits......"
Tochiotome is obviously also knowledgeable, as soon as Huang Quan said it, she immediately frowned, nodded, and then went out with twisted steps.
"The young man rests for a while, and the news will come soon."
Huang Quan leaned back in his chair, his hands resting on the back of his head, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
In less than half a cup of tea, the door was pushed open, and Tochiotome smiled slightly and walked in.
"So fast?"
This speed surprised Huang Quan.
Tochiotome shook her head and smiled awkwardly.
"Don't worry, Shaoxia is still inquiring, not so fast. I'm looking for Shaoxia because I have something to discuss. ”
"Oh? Please speak. ”
Huang Quan remained vigilant, but remained silent on the surface.
"Shaoxia is a disciple of the Immortal Mansion, right? As far as the slave family knows, the commission given by the Immortal Mansion is a thousand spirit stones for a bandit, right? We will have the same task in the world, and the commission can be increased by half, a bandit is 1,500 fast spirit stones, and then provide the information and whereabouts of the bandit for free, I don't know what the young man wants? ”
Tochiotome is also not polite, digging into the corner of the wall openly.
"Oh? Fifteen hundred spirit stones? ”
The reward of this one hundred and eight bandits seems to be not only available in Xianfu, but also in the world, and the bounty is higher than that given by Xianfu, this temptation is not small.
At this meeting, the news is really well-informed, and even the reward amount of the Xianfu Merit Hall is in their hands.
Tochiotome had a charming smile on her face, full of confidence, and she was not afraid of Huang Quan returning to the Immortal Mansion to complain.
And for wooing Huang Quan, it also looks like he is ready to be caught, if it is an ordinary lascivious disciple, if he doesn't do well, he will be tempted by her.
"That's not good, right? It's not that I, Huang, am pretentious, who doesn't want to earn the money in hand! It's just that I'm a disciple of Xianfu, and I can't do such a thing as eating inside and out. ”
Huang Quan had a straight face and directly rejected Tochiotome.
Natotome was a little disappointed.
"It seems that he is still a backbone little hero, but he is a slave who is reckless. But ......"
"But what, look down on my cultivation, right?"
Huang Quan sneered in his heart.
"Where, where is the courage of the young man, the slave family admires it very much. But the slave family still has to remind that there are many people who come to inquire about the whereabouts of the bandits, but there are very few who can come back. ”
Although Tochiotome had heavy makeup on her face, Huang Quan still saw the obvious perfunctory, indicating that the other party was not optimistic about herself at all, and Huang Quan didn't care about her.
But the second half of her sentence doesn't seem like a joke, there are many people who want to earn bounties, but after they go, there are very few who can come back, and they are estimated to have been killed by bandits.
Either they were empty-handed, and the bandit Mao was not caught, so he could come back safely.
At that moment, the door opened, and a woman poked her head in and handed a dossier to Tochiotome.
Tochiotome took the dossier, tore off three pieces of paper from it, and handed them to Huang Quan.
"This is the latest news of the three major thieves such as the Earth Hidden Star, the Earth Punishment Star, and the Earth Dog Star, and it is confirmed."
Huang Quan took it and looked at it, all kinds of information on the paper were extremely detailed, age, place of origin, and even the eight characters of birth, of course, some options were blank.
In addition, there are even hand-drawn portraits of people, although a little blurry, but for finding people in the vast sea of people, this information is already very precious.
The world will be really powerful, worthy of professional trading news.
"Okay, check out."
Huang Quan folded the paper with the information of the three thieves and put it in his arms.
"A total of 3,000 pills."
In Tochiotome's cognition, disciples of the outer sect of the Immortal Mansion like Huang Quan generally take the herb pill out for consumption.
Huang Quan remained silent and took out a small gourd, which was the size of a broad bean and had a blood-flowing elixir in the middle.
Yayoi Hime made a bid, which is honestly not cheap, but it is worth it.
"Oh? Pure Yang Dan? ”
Tochiotome opened the gourd and saw that there were thirty pure yang pills, no more, no less.
Her big eyes blinked, she didn't expect Huang Quan, a martial artist, to take the Pure Yang Pill out for consumption, which was unusual.
Even the true disciples of the Immortal Mansion, those immortals, generally come to consume the Baiyang Pill to settle the bill, or the lower grade spirit stone, as for the Pure Yang Pill, it is a rare treasure.
Moreover, the pure yang pill taken out by Huang Quan is in excellent condition, and the aura in it is extremely abundant, and it looks like it is from the hand of the master.
It seems that she is a little distracted, and the young man in front of her is estimated to be the apprentice of a certain big man.
Tochiotome sent Huang Quan to the door and instructed her men to bring Huang Quan's horse.
"Shaoxia, welcome to come again at any time, as long as you bring the head of the bandits, we will be in the world, and the bounty will be as much as you say."
Huang Quan nodded, this time he didn't refuse Tochiotome, he didn't block the road.
Turn over and ride the bloody horse, and go away.
Out of Shangyong City, a man and a horse galloped on the official road, with the same speed as the wind, constantly overtaking all kinds of pedestrians, chariots and horses, leaving them far behind.
In Huang Quan's heart, he couldn't help but feel proud, and there was a kind of pleasure of going out of the West Gate, returning to the twilight, killing one person in one step, and not leaving a line for thousands of miles.
In less than half an hour, he had already left the boundary of the Yan Kingdom and entered the Han Kingdom. Although Shangyong City is in the Yan Kingdom, it is on the border, close to the Han Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom, and it is almost on the Golden Triangle.
And Huang Quan's immortal mansion costume, just like a pass, was easily allowed through the city gates and passes along the way, which gave him great convenience.
In two days, Huang Quan traveled more than 5,000 miles, entered the snow-capped mountains, and came to a border town under Hedong Province in the cold country. According to the information given by the Tianxia Society, the last time the Earth Dog Star appeared was in this place called Gaoshi Town.
This town is in the middle of a series of snow-capped mountains, and on the top of the mountain in the distance, the snow reflects the sun's rays.
From the architecture of the town and the clothes of the people, it can be seen that the town is not badly developed.
Probably because of the backing of the Great Snow Mountain, many monks bought supplies here and went into the mountain, and then brought back the carcasses of the fierce beasts in the mountains, and sold animal meat, animal whips, and rare specialties in the mountains.
With this industry as a pillar, more industries can be born, such as brothels and casinos.
I heard that over this continuous snow-capped mountain, it is the Qin State.
Huang Quan entered the town, found an inn to live in, and asked the shopkeeper to take care of the horses, and he went directly into the room to recuperate.
He has already seen the situation, this town is not big, the population is not large, the main thing is that the mobile people are a little miscellaneous, and he plans to come out at night to find clues.
Bandits like the Earth Dog Star should not be active during the day.
At night, when the sky was covered with snow particles, Huang Quan ate a Shou Dan, carried a sword, and jumped out of the window of his room, like a night owl, quietly walking on the roof along the street. Because he ate Shoudan in advance, the biting cold wind blew on his body, and he didn't feel cold at all.
He found the tallest building in town, sat down on the roof, and scanned everything in the town.
At this time, except for a dozen brothels and casinos in the town, which were still open, the rest of the business was basically closed.
As people enter and exit brothels and casinos one after another, the cold night deepens, and the whole town is completely quiet.
Huang Quan sat on the roof all night until the first movement came from the street, it was a vegetable market, and the pork seller began to kill pigs and chop bones.
Gradually, the day dawned and the town came back to life.
Huang Quan was like a sculpture, his head was covered with snow, but he remained motionless, his eyes scanning everything in the town.
From morning to afternoon, and into the evening, the shops in the town had begun to close, and Huang Quan finally moved.
He jumped off the roof and walked on the muddy street with his feet.
He didn't attract much attention, because the people who came to Gaoshi Town were basically dressed like him.
Walking through the long street, he stopped at the door of a shop on the street called "Chen Zelin Leather Shoes," which was full of animal leather shoes, high-tops, low-tops, men, women and children, all made of various animal skins.
The climate of Gaoshi Town is harsh, and a pair of thick animal skin shoes can not only warm but also protect your feet.
At this time, an old shoemaker with a slightly chubby figure and a felt hat was sewing shoe uppers in the shop, stitch by stitch, and his movements were skillful. His hands were covered in fish gelatin and thick calluses.
There is also a stove next to it, and the charcoal fire is burning hot, and the soles of shoes are being baked.
Huang Quan entered the shoe store and silently watched all kinds of animal leather shoes, occasionally looking at the old shoemaker.
After a full quarter of an hour, Huang Quan finally spoke.
"The famous dog star, incarnated as Chen Zelin, making leather shoes in a remote town."
His tone was very flat, like a customer buying shoes, asking for the price.
"What?"
The old shoemaker stopped what he was doing, and suddenly looked up, and looked at him with an unknown expression.
Huang Quan was opposite the old shoemaker, pulled a small Mazha and sat down, his expression calm.
"The craftsmanship is not bad, it seems that you have been selling leather shoes for a long time to cover your identity as a bandit."
"Shaoxia, what are you talking about, do you want to buy leather shoes? If you don't buy it, the decay will be closed. ”
The old shoemaker put down the unfinished leather shoe in his hand, and looked suspicious.
Huang Quan smiled mysteriously.
"It's quite similar, you sell good leather shoes, that's how you deceived many people who came to you, right?"
Huang Quan stood up and took a deep breath.
"But it's a pity, I've been watching you for a day, and in my eyes you're full of flaws, do you want to know how I found you?"
The old shoemaker scratched the back of his head, and his face became serious.
