Chapter 222: The Down-and-Out Samurai
Even if it was the first time he came to Lingyang, he had never been to the 100,000 Great Mountain, and he knew that there might still be an ancient qi refiner in the deep mountain that had not been discovered, but it was definitely impossible for this sneaky guy in front of him to grasp the secret.
If such a cave is discovered, anyone will try their best to hide the secret, and they will find the most reliable person to help them slowly uncover it, how can they take out the news and sell it for money.
The other party undoubtedly looks at his face and is tender, when he is a newcomer who doesn't understand anything!
Qin Yun had seen similar guys when he was in Dajing Town before, most of them were ruffians and hooligans, who did everything they could to cheat, steal chickens and dogs, and specialize in catching visitors from other places.
"Go away! I don't need any news from you!" Qin Yun was not in a very good mood, so he reprimanded unceremoniously: "You want to deceive someone else!"
The person peddling the news suddenly changed his face and said viciously: "Boy, don't be too crazy!"
Qin Yun snorted and didn't say much, just stared at the other party coldly, watching the other party leave in a panic.
In these days, there are really everyone!, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Suddenly, a voice came from the side: "Little brother, you are in trouble, he is likely to bring someone to settle accounts with you!"
Qin Yun turned his head to look and found that it was a middle-aged man who was sitting not far from him.
The other party looked like a down-and-out samurai dressed like a down-and-out samurai, with a scumbag beard on his face, drunken eyes and a sluggish expression. There were a few empty wine bottles scattered around the small wine table.
"Do they dare to come here to make trouble?" Qin Yun couldn't help but ask.
"I don't dare to come here!" the down-and-out samurai sneered: "Those guys are the best at sneak attacks, they will follow you when you go out, smoke sticks, spray smoke, sprinkle lime and dare to use any means, even if you are a hero, you will be caught if you are not careful!"
But Qin Yun didn't have the slightest worry, these ninth-rate methods might be a little useful for the martial artists of the Qi Refining Realm, but for the upper innate powerhouses, it was simply looking for death!
The down-and-out warrior saw Qin Yun's disapproval. reminded: "Don't think you're very good, they don't do black work once or twice, and a few of them are very good and very black." The best at dealing with a newly debuting sect disciple like you. ”
"Thank you for the reminder"
Although Qin Yun was not afraid, the other party was undoubtedly motivated by good intentions, nodded and stretched out his hand to call the tavern guy. Pointing to the down-and-out samurai, he said, "I'll settle this uncle's account." ”
The tavern guy smiled: "Great, I promise fifty-eight taels of silver!"
Fifty-eight taels of silver? How much wine do you have to drink!
You don't want to kill me, do you?" Qin Yun frowned and glared at the other party.
This tavern guy is just an ordinary person, how can he withstand Qin Yun's rather fierce gaze, the sweat on his forehead is down, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Today is one or four dollars of silver, and fifty-seven taels is owed before, I thought the guest officer was going to help him pay it all."
Qin Yun was speechless for a moment, the down-and-out warrior blushed, and he didn't know whether he was drunk or ashamed, so he shook his hand again and again and said, "No." No, I'll pay for it myself."
He groped on his body, but he didn't find half a penny for a long time, which made the guys on the side despise him.
Qin Yun really couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out two gold leaves from his arms and handed them to the guy: "It's all mine." Bring us some good wine and food, reward you with a tael of silver, and the rest will be hung on this uncle's account!"
Starting from Thousand Tides City, Qin Yun was almost short of money, and now he has a net worth of one million, and a few dozen taels of silver is nothing to him at all. It's just that no matter how rich he is, he doesn't want to be cheated.
The gold leaf was still used for the road brought out from the Heavenly City Sword Sect, and one piece was equivalent to fifty taels of silver, and the tavern guy took it happily, and immediately went to Zhang Luo after confirming that it was true.
The down-and-out samurai was even more embarrassed: "How embarrassing is this?"
"It's out of the way" Qin Yun smiled and said, "I don't know if the uncle is familiar with the situation of the 100,000 Mountains?"
Qin Yun was willing to help him pay the bill, in addition to thanking the other party for his kind reminder, he also hoped to inquire about some news, at least to understand what he needed to pay attention to when entering the mountain, so as not to enter with a black eye.
"Then you're really asking the right person!" The down-and-out warrior smiled: "Although my Luo He's strength is not very good, I have been in and out of the 100,000 Mountains hundreds of times, and Miao Village has run dozens of times!"
"Miao Village?" Qin Yun asked curiously, "What's that?"
"Miao Village is the walled city of Miao mountain people, enter the 100,000 mountains to experience treasure hunting, in addition to demon beasts and spirit beasts, you also have to be careful of the Miao people who live in the mountains, especially the black Miao that is not easy to mess with!"
The Miao people are the indigenous mountain people of the 100,000 mountains, and according to legend, they are the descendants of the ancient qi refiners who live in seclusion in the mountains.
Miao Min has a fierce and warlike personality, when the Great Yan Empire conquered this vast territory, it was once resisted to the death by the Miao people, causing heavy casualties to the emperor's ** regiment.
Later, Dayan appeased the Miao people, canonized the Miao king, and adopted a policy of division, and finally suppressed the resistance of the Miao people, which has continued until now.
The Miao people are divided into two veins, the white Miao and the black Miao, the former is relatively benevolent and willing to communicate with the people of the empire from the outside world, while the latter is much more conservative and stubborn, and is always hostile to outsiders.
And whether it is Bai Miao or Black Miao, they are not weak people who can be bullied at will, they have the inheritance of Qi refining swordsmanship and alchemy Gu art, especially the mysterious Gu art that makes people talk about it.
"When you enter the 100,000 Great Mountain, you must first avoid the territory of the Miao people, and it is best to know how to deal with the Miao people!" said the down-and-out warrior: "This is definitely good for you, the Miao people are the best guides in the mountains, and if you need any elixir specialties in the mountains, you can also buy them from them, of course, you have to find the white Miao people." ”
"Miao Min's most powerful thing is that he can release Gu, Bai Miao's Bai Gu is okay, it is usually controlled without hurting people, and it can even save people and heal people, but Hei Miao's black Gu is extremely vicious and terrifying, it is best to hide away when you see Hei Miao, even if the other party is an old lady!"
"The most unprovoked thing is the women of Miao Min, especially those women who look beautiful, because whether it is a white seedling or a black seedling, if you provoke the last one, you may not be able to get rid of it in this life"
The down-and-out warrior babbled and said, while pouring a big gulp of wine, and soon began to speak incoherently drunk: "You must be careful, the women of the Miao people are even more powerful than their Gu"
This is also a poor person! Qin Yun felt that the other party must have a lot of stories, and seeing his upside-down appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy and pity in his heart.
However, he basically understood what he wanted to inquire about, so he summoned his men and gave a few words of advice, and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the down-and-out warrior who was so drunk that he was about to collapse to the ground suddenly raised his head, grabbed Qin Yun's arm, and said weakly: "I can't take your silver for nothing, this thing is for you"
He took out a roll of tattered sheepskin from his arms, stuffed it into Qin Yun's hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Give it to you, I don't want it, take it, take it"
Before he could speak, the down-and-out samurai collapsed to the ground with weak feet, and soon let out a snoring sound.
The drinkers next to him were already surprised by this, drinking and chatting by themselves, and no one paid attention.
Qin Yun couldn't bear it, and said to the guy next to him, "Please take care of him." ”
"Don't worry, I'll send him to the backyard to rest later" The guy who took Qin Yun's one or two silver benefits said with a smile: "He is very familiar with our old shopkeeper, otherwise he wouldn't have let him owe so much wine, he was originally a good man, but unfortunately he met a Miao girl later!"
Qin Yun nodded, and he unfolded the parchment roll that the other party had stuffed into him.
The parchment was three feet square when unfolded, and the sides were extremely worn, and there were many marks of moth-eaten on the surface of the fur, giving off an unpleasant smell, as if it had been picked up from a garbage heap.
However, the surface of the sheepskin was drawn with a complex topographical map, and the location of Lingyang City was clearly displayed on it, stretching out from the location of this big city, it was the direction of the mountain range of 100,000 mountains.
The mountain roads, canyons, and peaks are clear at a glance, and there are red punctuation dots circled out to represent the Miao villages, and many places have detailed markings, indicating the matters that need attention.
Although the drawing technique of this map is not clever or even a little crude, and the text written on it is relatively sloppy, it does not detract from its value at all, because drawing a large and complex map requires considerable skill and experience, and it is definitely not something that anyone can do casually!
With this map, it will undoubtedly be of great help to Qin Yun.
After thinking about it, Qin Yun put away the map and squatted down, took out all the gold leaves he was carrying, and quietly stuffed them into the arms of the down-and-out warrior, believing that the money could help him improve his life.
The down-and-out samurai was completely drunk and asleep, unaware that he had a considerable amount of money on him.
Subsequently, Qin Yun left the tavern.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he immediately felt that a malicious gaze had fallen on him.
Qin Yun's intuition was so keen, he immediately judged the location of the other party - twenty or thirty steps away from the tavern, at the entrance of the alley, a few ghostly figures flashed in the dark corner.
Are you in a hurry to die?" Qin Yun sneered in his heart.
He ignored the sneaky guys and headed straight for the end of the long street, but in the exact opposite direction to the hotel he was staying in.
A moment later, several men with large swords on their backs walked out of the alley.
They followed closely behind Qin Yun, acting secretly!rq
