Chapter 202: Slave Catchers, Temptation
A huge amount of information echoed in Yu Lie's mind, and all kinds of task requirements appeared in his eyes, cluttered, like a messy net.
But when Yu Lie continued to immerse himself in the immortal dragon qi, a voice sounded in his ears in time:
"Yu Daoyou, the contract has been signed, and it's time for us to leave."
Yu Lie suddenly broke away from the immortal urn, his eyes were stunned, and he still had a trance feeling.
The old man surnamed Ye on the side looked at him coldly, and said:
"Sure enough, it's a cucumber egg, as always."
However, Sun Bei, who claimed to be a fellow villager with Yu Lie, and the middle-aged female Taoist disciple only bowed their heads towards Yu Lie, as if they could understand Yu Lie's loss of consciousness just now.
Yu Lie was still a little immersed in the novelty of coming into contact with the immortal jar, and didn't care too much about the words of a few people, just bowed his head and showed an apologetic expression.
"Okay, there are still many miracles in the immortal urn, and when you come back after the event, you will continue to slowly comprehend."
The old man surnamed Ye shouted: "Without further ado, let's go!" ”
On the square, this person's figure suddenly flickered, running towards the road to climb down the high platform, and Yu Lie and the others also hurriedly showed their runs, following behind each other.
After a while, Yu Lie and a group of five people boarded the ground insects out of the city.
In a period of shaking, the number of Taoists in the carriage of the earth-walking insects became smaller, more and less.
In the end, the Taoists who remained in the car all had a different momentum from the Taoists working in the workshop.
Even the Dao Tong who was a lowly cultivator in the middle was first-class, and one by one his face was cold, and his body exuded a resolute and fierce aura.
Such a scene made Yu Lie can't help but recall the other Taoist children he saw at the entrance and exit of the town when he was in Blackwater Town for the first time when he left the town.
Now he had to leave the safe area again and go outside the city to get some opportunities for himself to cultivate.
However, Yu Lie sat quietly in the ground walking insects, glanced at the others in the same team, and said secretly in his heart:
"Although I am going out of the city to hunt, this is the first time I have gone to the outer city, so I should be steady first and see how these people behave."
He silently made up his mind, talk less, do less, and never take risks!
About two or three hours, the rest of the group of five people crossed the inner city area of Qianzhou Dao City, the insects stopped wriggling, and the people in the entire carriage got up and stepped out of the boat.
The rest of the columns were also mixed in, following quietly.
Walking through the long corridors is obviously much longer than in the inner city.
When he came out of the ground completely, Yu Lie found that he was like ants that had just come out of an ant burrow, and behind them was a towering cliff, one pit after another, all over the cliff.
The cave that the five of them walked out of was only one of hundreds of holes.
On the opposite side of the cliff, there is a barren scene, with red and yellow rocks and mud and sand, forming a dark red boundary, which looks barren and lifeless as far as the eye can see.
Seeing such a scene, Yu Lie raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man surnamed Ye who was leading the way.
At this time, there was no need to make a sound, and Mim in the team also showed surprise in his eyes, and asked:
"Gobi Desert? Senior Ye, this time I can't wait to clean up the alienated plants? ”
According to what Miao Mu previously revealed to Yu Lie, she has been participating in the task of "cutting the grass and eradicating the roots" with the Daoists of this team recently.
It is said that in a certain area of the outer city, there is an activated vine, which I don't know from which world it fell into the mountain and sea realm, this kind of plant, all of them are high-grade essence blood medicinal materials, but this thing sucks flesh and blood, which is quite harmful.
Therefore, the major pharmacies in the city can only purchase such medicines, and cannot directly cultivate them.
When Miao Mu and the others were in the outer city, as long as they found a few more alienated plants, they would have a way to sell them, and the price was okay.
Even if they don't sell it, they can directly devour it by themselves and increase their true qi. Therefore, the first few times, the team was mixed in the dense forest where alienated plants grow.
Now the old man surnamed Ye led everyone to one more site, and the location was suddenly different from what Miao Mu thought.
Miem originally thought that everyone was just going to hunt in a different place.
Hearing Miao Mu's doubts, the old Taoist surnamed Ye looked at the dense holes behind him, he pointed to the Taoist who came out of the other holes, and said:
"Miao Daoyou looked back, this time there are so many Daoyou who have run here, what do you realize?"
This person sold a pass, but Miao Mu frowned and thought about it, and a tricky look appeared on his face, and he said:
"Please also ask Senior Ye to show it directly. However, Miao came with Yu Daoyou this time, and he didn't want to get involved in other things! ”
She immediately said: "If you don't go to the old place this time, the matter is too important, and I ask Senior Ye to forgive Miao and quit." ”
This woman was also decisive and realized that the original itinerary had changed, but the people surnamed Ye didn't say it in advance, so they didn't want to accompany them immediately.
When Lao Dao surnamed Ye heard Miao Mu's words, his expression suddenly choked.
The other party's face showed a look of helplessness, so he had to say: "It's not that I deliberately conceal the two, but there are too many people in the square, and it's not convenient to explain." Besides, this matter was just learned about it by the three of us last night. ”
Miao Mu subconsciously glanced back at Yu Lie, and found that Yu Lie's brows were also furrowed, but she did not propose to let the two of them separate, so she pressed her mind and listened to the old man surnamed Ye slowly explain.
"This place is only fifty or sixty miles away from that alienated jungle, but the landform has changed from a wild jungle to a desert Gobi, but the two Taoist friends know why?"
The eyes of the old man surnamed Ye showed blazing heat, and he said: "There is no other reason, there are new exotic creatures coming here!"
The creatures that came here seemed to be humanoid. A few days ago, there were already slave catchers sent by major shops in the city, coming to this area. ”
In addition to the old Taoist surnamed Ye, the other two Taoist disciples also spoke.
Among them, Sun Beidao gave his hands:
"Two fellow Daoists, although this matter is a bit hasty, and no corresponding preparations and reminders have been made to the two, but this trip to the outer city, it should not be a big problem to change here directly. After all, this place is still not too far from the inner city, and there will never be overly powerful foreign creatures. ”
The middle-aged female Taoist said, "Please forgive me, two Taoist friends." I didn't know until yesterday, but in fact, it was already late, and there were still many individual tourists who formed a team and went out of the city. ”
After saying this, regardless of whether Yu Lie and Miao Mu believed it or not, the eyes of the two of them suddenly fell on the word "slave catcher".
Yu Lie squinted his eyes slightly, and said loudly:
"Three fellow Daoists. In other words, I didn't come out to pick medicinal herbs and hunt monsters, but to capture the exotic creatures and sell them back to the city, and the task was to 'catch slaves'? ”
In Qianzhou Dao City, in addition to the Daoists of the Mountain and Sea Realm, there are also a large number of exotic creatures, a small number of which have been integrated into the Mountain and Sea Realm, and can even build their own families, and are eligible to participate in the Dao Gong exam and obtain the status of Daoist.
However, the vast majority of foreign creatures entered Qianzhou Dao City as Dao slaves, and not only did they not enjoy the slightest benefit of Dao City, but they were in the hands of Dao people.
In terms of the situation, even if it is a seventh-grade level and an exotic creature that is close to the level of a Daoist, its status in the Dao City may not necessarily be the same as that of a Dao slave, but the realm is directly lower than that of the two-level Nine-Rank Dao Child.
Because the Jiupin Taoist children are in the Dao City, although they are alive and restrained, they are still protected by the Dao Law, and they are only contemptuously called "Dannu, Fu Nu, Fire Boy Slave" and so on, but in fact, they are not first-class slaves and cannot be easily killed.
And those foreign creatures, who have not been granted Taoist status, have their status in the mountains and seas as real slaves.
At most, the Taoist court disliked that the word "slave" was too barbaric and unpleasant, which would damage the style of the Taoist court, so it gave it a title such as "Taoist slave" or "Taoist soldier", admitting that his generation was barely a creature walking on the avenue.
As for the source of these exotic slaves in the city, they were captured and sent into the inner city through a slave hunting team that was only stationed in the outer city.
It's just that when Yu Lie was in the hotel, he also heard that in fact, the slave hunting team was only a small head, and the real big head belonged to the foreign creatures who were forced to come by the Dao Court when they were conquering foreign lands.
However, those foreign creatures who were able to survive the foreign conquest and had the value to be brought back to the Dao City were at least at the level of the seventh grade, and for the time being, they were not able to reach the little Daoists like Yu Lie, so they didn't see much.
When the old man surnamed Ye heard it, he didn't hide it, and nodded proudly at Yu Lie: "Yes." ”
Seeing that Miao Mu began to hesitate, this person paused, and instead seemed to want to persuade Yu Lie to leave the two of them from Yu Lie:
"Yu Lie's little friend, huh?"
The old man surnamed Ye said in a hot tone:
"I heard that you are a person in the Dan Dao who has studied the Flesh and Blood Pill Method, and according to the knowledge of the Poor Dao, what the Flesh and Blood Pill Method wants to achieve is inseparable from the dissection and slaughter of the flesh and blood of various living beings, especially humanoid things.
But in the inner city, it is impossible for you to use people as animals, only exotic creatures can practice! However, such humanoid alien beings, even corpses, are not something you can covet. Now is your chance! ”
Yu Lie listened, his face was silent for a while, but his inner thoughts were beating.
What this old guy said was actually right, as a person in the Dan Dao, especially for someone like Yu Lie who majored in the Flesh and Blood Dan Method, it was very important to study the human body.
However, the delicate human body, especially the Taoist's own human body, is even more precious and cannot be easily destroyed.
However, using other people's bodies as the object of contemplation, even for mortals, is against the laws of the Tao. Once discovered, it is not possible to defeat the Taoist nationality, but it is very likely that he will be expelled from the city.
Only those exotic humanoid creatures, who have no nationality, are not human at all, but an exception......
Seeing that Yu Lie was silent, as if she was considering, Miao Mu on the side closed her voice in time, she looked at Yu Lie and slightly tilted her cheek.
Miao Mu went out of the city this time, mainly to accompany Yu Lie to pick flesh and blood medicinal materials for refining pills. For her, it is the key to accompany Yu Lie and get the pill as soon as possible.
Therefore, she is not very keen on capturing slaves to make a lot of money, and she knows exactly how dangerous it is when she gets out of the city!
Therefore, although Miao Mu did not refuse again, he was also hinting that Yu Lie should not be involved.
Yu Lie was keenly aware of Miao Mu's hint, and after thinking about it for a while, he was ashamed to bow his hand to the old man surnamed Ye:
"It's not a secret, the Dan method under the lower level is crude, and now I only want to get some medicinal materials, and use them for stable cultivation after refining. At present, there is not much energy to delve into the Dan Method.
With such an opportunity to make a fortune, you don't need to be counted as poor. ”
Seeing that Yu Lie also refused, Miao Mu immediately spoke up: "Senior Ye, I'm really sorry." ”
"Humph!"
A cold voice sounded, and the old man surnamed Ye stood in front of Yu Lie and the two, his eyes were not good, his body was really angry, and he seemed to have a hot temper, and he wanted to punish and punish Yu Lie.
The other Sun Bei Daoist and the middle-aged female Daoist also had a look on their faces a little unbearable.
The middle-aged woman's face turned cold, and she said, "You have refused now, and from now on, you will not want to partner with a few other people!" ”
Sun Bei Taoist sighed helplessly and sang with a red face:
"Two fellow Daoists, if you go back now, won't you just return empty-handed and gain nothing? If the two of them are willing to accompany them, the distribution of the harvest when they go out this time may be negotiable. ”
The words of the three of them did not shake Yu Lie and Miao Mu at all, but made them both sound the alarm bell in their hearts.
This time out of the city, Lao Dao surnamed Ye first changed his plan temporarily, he didn't explain it in advance, and now he was coerced and enticed, and he wanted the two of them to follow him, which was a bit strange, and it was not explained by a rare opportunity.
So Yu Lie and Miao Mu glanced at each other, and both of them took a step back and said, "I wish the three Taoists good luck!" ”
"This is the case, Miao Mu will set up wine in the city, and then make amends to Senior Ye and the two!"
After saying that, they didn't give each other a chance to threaten or induce, and retreated directly to the cave they had just walked out.
Looking at the departure of Yu Lie and Miao Mu, the three people surnamed Ye Lao Dao and others were in place, all looking at them with cold eyes.
The urge to do so even flashed in the eyes of several people.
It's just that although the two sides are already out of the inner city, there are no ghosts and gods to supervise them, but the outer city area still belongs to the territory of Qianzhou Daocheng, and the Dao law is effective, and it is not allowed to fight blatantly.
In particular, before leaving the city, the two sides also signed a contract of "no attack on each other", and the statute of limitations of this contract is five days, which is currently in effect and cannot be violated.
The three of them surnamed Ye had no choice but to watch Yu Lie and Miao Mu disappear into the cave completely.
Outside the cave, a secret scolding voice suddenly sounded: "Dog man and woman, such a timid mouse!" ”
There was also a voice of regret:
"Oh, it's a pity......"
