Chapter 33: How Can This Be Called Forced Buying and Selling?
Huai Zhi'an curiously looked at the thumb-sized surface in his hand that was smooth and clear, and there were brown beads with a good smell, and they were still a little warm and slightly elastic to the touch.
The peculiar medicinal fragrance poured into his nasal cavity, and Huai Zhi'an felt that his whole person was much "clean" from body to soul, like a spring breeze blowing, and the exhaustion accumulated in his body was also swept away.
Shanyu on the side was a little surprised when she smelled this smell, because she had also smelled this smell in Daogui Mountain.
Pushing the salivating sycamore away, Huai Zhi'an raised the ball and asked the whale Xiaohe suspiciously.
"What is this?"
"Grandpa said that this is an 'innocent pearl', which is a treasure refined with the deep sea tides with a hundred-year-old snake demon's inner dan and Penglai Island's unique ambergris, supplemented by some other materials." Whale Xiaohe explained with a smile.
"As for the function, if you put this thing on your body, you can have some of the mysteries of the body of the cultivators of the Dragon Gate Realm, such as the invincibility of all poisons, the exorcism of evil spirits and the purification of souls, etc., and after wearing it for a long time, it can also stabilize and strengthen the soul of the cultivator."
"The Snake Demon's Nedan?"
Huai Zhi'an blinked his eyes and looked down at the bead in his hand in surprise.
Before, he was heartbroken and failed to take Nedan after killing the snake demon, but he didn't expect to be collected by the old man of the river god and returned to him as a treasure.
Huai Zhi'an was a little touched in his heart, is this a good person with a good reward?
"This thing...... It's precious, and you must keep it. ”
Shanyu on the side looked at the bead in Huai Zhi'an's hand, thought about it, and couldn't help but remind him.
Maybe Huai Zhi'an doesn't know the true value of this thing, but Shanyu knows better than anyone how precious the "ambergris" of the Penglai whale clan is.
This thing is so precious that even the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty doesn't have much! At the beginning, Daoguishan tried his best to get some ambergris from the Penglai Whale family.
Huai Zhi'an raised his eyebrows, this thing is very valuable?
"How?"
Shanyu explained: "You should have heard of ambergris, but the ambergris of the Penglai whale family is different, it is one of the treasures born in the vast sea, which is rare in the world and belongs to extremely valuable treasures. ”
"As ordinary cultivators go deeper and deeper in their cultivation, or the red dust is disturbed, or the immortal path is deviated, or the thoughts are blocked, then they are very easy to encounter the erosion of the 'inner demons'. Therefore, a treasure like ambergris that can keep the monk's mind clear and avoid the intrusion of demons is precious, and the more powerful the cultivation of this thing, the more necessary it is. ”
"Demons? Enchanted? ”
Huai Zhi'an fell into deep thought, it seems that although there is no distinction between the righteous path and the demonic path in the formal sense in this world, is there a demonic monk?
Just as Huai Zhi'an was pondering, Whale Xiaohe tugged at his sleeve and looked at Shanyu with a vigilant face: "Engong be careful, people who return to the mountain are not good people!" This woman must have a plan against Eun Gong! ”
"Either you are hungry for your body, or you have thoughts about this innocent pearl!"
Shanyu clenched his fists and resisted the urge to draw his sword and pull out the talisman directly.
"It's not for nothing that I return to the mountain for the ambergris of your Penglai whale clan, why do I covet a small magic weapon?"
From the moment they met, this whale Xiaohe insisted that she was a "bad person", and took the initiative to take action, and now she is directly slandering the entire Daoguishan, and the mountain language can't bear it.
"You're embarrassed to say it!"
The whale Xiaohe puffed up his waist, and his momentum did not fall at all.
"The ox nose embroidered with a few clouds on the robe of Daogui Mountain two years ago tricked me into 'borrowing' a pound of ambergris from my clan, saying that it was borrowed, but in fact it was robbing. Later, the bull's nose kept saying that Guishan would repay the debt with 'a blessing' in two years, but now two years have passed, where is the 'blessing' you said in the Daoguishan Pass? ”
Shanyu was stunned for a moment: "A Taoist priest with a few clouds embroidered on his robe? ”
"Just that tall, skinny, white-haired old man who likes to squint and smile."
"Uncle Liuyun......"
"That's him! At that time, my father did not agree to give you Daoguishan ambergris, after all, what if you Daoguishan did not admit it? Later, the old man made a bet with my father, saying that standing still could take my father's three punches, but if he didn't move, he didn't move, but the old man used the magic weapon fraudulently. Whale Xiaohe pointed to the mixed yuan umbrella behind the mountain language and complained.
"It's the umbrella behind you!"
Whale Xiaohe has never seen such a brazen person, the sentence "Cultivator, how can you fight back if the magic weapon is moved, this is just the automatic protector of the magic weapon" still makes Whale Xiaohe remember it vividly.
As early as two years ago, she didn't like the old man, so when she saw the same hybrid umbrella again two years later, she did it directly!
"Forehead ......"
Mountain language remembered.
Two years ago, Uncle Liuyun did go down the mountain to the South China Sea, and when he came back, he actually brought back enough ambergris incense to be used by the entire Daogui Mountain disciples.
At that time, Uncle Liuyun thought that Uncle Liuyun had reached some deal with the Penglai Whale Clan, but they didn't expect it to be in this way.
What to say...... is really worthy of Uncle Liuyun, this is indeed something he can do.
Huai Zhi on the side happily pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip.
Facing Whale Xiaohe's angry gaze, Shan Yu was silent for a moment before saying: "Uncle Liuyun has studied the way of divination and refining, and his attainments in divination and refining are called 'unique in the world, unsurpassed' by Master. ”
"Uncle Shi, he is an old man with a strange temperament, divination has always been freewheeling, and he pays attention to a 'conformity to heaven's will, in response to the destiny of heaven', so he should have calculated that two years later, there will be a fortune that may fall on the Penglai whale clan with the help of Daogui Mountain, so he came to the door two years in advance to collect the payment, as for what that fortune is......" Shanyu shook his head.
"I'm sorry, I don't know, when I went down the mountain, my uncle only handed me this mixed yuan umbrella, and didn't mention any blessings."
Even Huai Zhi'an, who was on the side, was stunned by these words.
Because he calculated that he would help the Penglai Whale family in two years, he came to collect compensation from others two years in advance, and he didn't even plan to ask others if they were willing to accept this blessing.
That's too much of a drag!
It's really a fortune teller!
Whale Xiaohe's eyes widened, she thought that the people who returned to the mountains were shameless, but she didn't expect it to be so shameless.
Think she's a three-year-old? It's so easy to deceive!
However, Shanyu obviously didn't want to talk much on this topic, but instead set his eyes on Huai Zhi'an and asked about another thing:
"Do you still have an impression of the two people you mentioned last night who appeared on Wutong Mountain?"
"Huh? Why do you suddenly ask this? ”
Huai Zhi'an was a little puzzled, he remembered that Shanyu had also left the Taoist temple directly after listening to him talk about this matter last night.
"You said those two people smelled 'shepherd' tattoos on their necks? It's true? ”
"Oh, you said those two kind uncles last night......
Whale Xiaohe on the side was immediately distracted when he heard this.
"You met it too?"
Huai Zhi'an and Shan Yu looked at Whale Xiaohe together.
"Those two uncles said that they got lost in the mountains, and they gave me a lot of silver after accidentally scaring me."
Whale Xiaohe briefly talked about what happened last night, smiling with crooked eyebrows, until now she still felt that she had met two good people.
"There's a problem with the two of them?"
Huai Zhi'an realized that something was wrong, and he noticed that there was something abnormal about the two of them last night, but he was attracted by the battle between Shanyu and Whale Xiaohe, and he didn't have time to ask in detail.
"If my guess is correct, those two people should be members of the intelligence organization 'Shepherds', belonging to the existence of people all over the world, asking for all kinds of information to sell for money." Shanyu nodded, a hint of urgency in his eyes.
"Buying and selling information, ah......"
Huai Zhi'an was not particularly surprised, after all, intelligence is the most valuable existence in any world, and it is normal for this kind of organization to appear.
"But you mean ......"
Huai Zhi'an was keenly aware of the sense of urgency in the mountain language.
"They have already discovered that I am here, if only I am fine, but Sang Ziyan is also here, the two of us are here together, and it is impossible for a shepherd's keen sense of smell not to notice that our presence together represents a special place." Shanyu raised his eyes, and his dark and clear eyes looked directly at Huai Zhi'an.
"I have to speed up to find the location of Master's relics, so I may not be able to stay by your side for the next few days."
"As I said, the favor you want to return doesn't exist here at all." Huai Zhian responded seriously.
Shanyu didn't argue anything, just nodded: "You have your reasons, I have my insistence." ”
Huai Zhi'an was helpless, originally this girl who returned to the mountain was just not frank in his heart, and he was a little cold to reject people thousands of miles away, but now it seems that he has to add another "stubbornness".
Seeing that Shanyu was about to turn around and leave, Huai Zhi'an suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I want to use the merit of killing the remnants of the dream tapir in exchange for a body refining in the Immortal Dynasty, which is an exercise that can enhance the defense of the body, do you have any recommendations?" ”
After seeing the power of the talisman of the mountain language and the terrifying body of the whale Xiaohe, Huai Zhi'an felt that he was really weak now, and he had to find a way to become stronger.
Shanyu paused, thought for a moment, and took out an ancient book from the waist bag of the magic weapon and threw it to Huai Zhi'an.
At the same time, in Qulan Town, in the guest room at the edge of an inn, Sun Qi and Shuo Rat knelt down on one knee to the tall woman in the room with respectful expressions and even a hint of fear, expressing their submission.
Among the shepherds, the [Hound] whose status is second only to the leader, each of them is an existence in the Dragon Gate Realm!
