Chapter 411: Storm Stone Pill (II)
"Stop!"
Unexpectedly, the big man with the escort team directly stopped in front of Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu. But he didn't recognize Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu, because both of them were wearing masks. And the last time they fought, Zhu Xiaobao was also secretly observing, and when he finally escaped, he sprinkled a sea of fire, and he didn't see the faces of Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu clearly at all.
blocked the way of Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu, mainly for inspection. It turned out that there were suddenly a lot less 'earth stalagmites' on the road that Zhu Xiaobao passed just now, and the place that was dug up was not even backfilled, which immediately aroused the vigilance of these guards and chased after them.
"This big brother! We're going to the city to sell medicinal herbs! We know the rules, and the 'soil stalagmites' here will never be picked! Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile on his face.
"Humph! Whether there is clandestine mining or not, you don't need to say, we will find out! Open the storage bag! The big man snorted coldly. It seems that this guy is still not in a good mood. I'm looking for someone to vent!
Immediately after, two demon dogs rushed out from behind the guards, sniffed at Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu's bodies, and then sniffed at the mouth of the storage bag, and didn't seem to find anything, so they returned to the guards. It turns out that they have this kind of specially cultivated demon dog with a keen sense of smell, so any 'soil stalagmite' that has just been picked can be smelled even if it is placed in a storage bag. It is no wonder that anyone who enters the boundaries of the 'Shiwei Castle' does not dare to pick these 'soil stalagmites' that grow well all over the ground.
"Huh? No? …… It's really weird, it's clear that the traces of new excavation have been found......" The big man is still very puzzled, but in general, this is considered excessive. After all, there are many people who come to 'Shiwei Castle' every day, and the cultivation of these two people is not high, so there is indeed nothing to doubt!
"Report to Lord Brave! We've caught two loose cultivators who stole the 'Earth Stalagmites'! Just then, another team of guards arrived to report.
"Bring it here! Hmph, the dog is so bold that he dares to steal the 'soil stalagmite' under Lao Tzu's nose! The big man named Shi Crazy Yong immediately shouted murderously.
It didn't take long for two trembling cultivators to be brought over, these two people, like Zhu Xiaobao, were also cultivators of the 'True Martial Realm', but they were now begging in panic. repeatedly stated that he didn't know the rules, otherwise he wouldn't dare to pick 'soil stalagmites' without authorization......
"Humph! It's not a small amount of courage! How many plants have you picked? Shi Madness had already sacrificed his big stone hammer viciously and asked.
"Four...... Four plants! My lord, we really don't know the rules! The Sanxiu who walked in front said bitterly.
"Huh! Within the boundaries of my Shijia land, those who pick three or more plants without authorization will be killed! Shi Yanyong sneered, and as he spoke, his hand rose and fell, and he directly smashed the head of this loose cultivator. Immediately, the other loose cultivator was frightened and fainted.
"Report to Lord Madness, he picked two 'soil stalagmites'!" The escorted Goose Lake was so frightened that he fainted, so he had to report the number for him.
"Humph! Take it to the quarry and do hard labor for 200 years! Shi Feiyong's mood was much more relaxed, and he snorted coldly.
"Yes!" The two guards immediately put the fainted Sanxiu behind the horse's ass and dragged him away like a dead dog!
Watching the Shi family's escort team march away, Zhu Xiaobao stuck out his tongue, daring to love the Shi family's arrogance and domineering in this area, thinking that he had already stolen more than a dozen 'soil stalagmites', wouldn't it be enough to cut his head five or six times! Fortunately, the 'soil stalagmites' he picked were all transplanted into the 'Time Stone' in time, so he didn't smell it by those demon dogs!
However, in this way, Zhu Xiaobao did not dare to act rashly, unless he found a very high age of 'soil stalagmites', he would let the little demon do it, and he would have to fill it in time. No trace must be left behind!
Finally, I arrived at the gate of 'Shiwei Castle', and when I looked up, I saw that the two gates at the gate of the city were tall and large, thick and strong, and the walls on both sides were also very high, all of which were built with huge stones, and there were guards guarding the city walls. It's much more domineering than 'Juguan Castle'!
There are still a lot of people coming in and out of the city gate, but the newcomers still have to register, and they also have to pay a certain number of spirit stones and receive waist cards. It's no different from any other castle.
The guards at the gate of the city didn't even bother to ask about Zhu Xiaobao's small cultivation, but it was Qianyu who was asked a few more questions because it was the cultivation of the 'Divine Martial Realm'. Fortunately, Qianyu is very experienced in this area, and the answer is fluent. In addition, her dress is a very ordinary casual cultivation, and her appearance is also very ordinary. So I entered the 'Shiwei Castle' very smoothly.
Entering the 'Shiwei Castle', Zhu Xiaobao was an eye-opener. The buildings here are tall and heavy, and the roads are very wide and open. There were some very tall unicorn carts, most of which were pulled with huge stones, probably because of the large number and the short distance traveled, so they were not loaded in storage bags. The reason is also that there are storage bags that do not have that large volume
And more than half of the people here are very tall and strong, almost all of them are at least the same figure as 'Tie Qigu' and 'Tie Jiugu', and the male is half a head taller than the female cultivator who cultivates for Tong. After a little inquiry, I learned that these cows and horses are basically from the Shi family, maybe this is the characteristic of their race! And those Shi family members with average stature are basically clansmen who have no earth and stone attributes. In other words, the taller and stronger his stature, the stronger his earth and stone attributes will be!
In the entire 'Shiwei Castle', the Shi family accounts for almost half, and the rest of the scattered cultivators and some families account for half, so in the crowd, the Shi family is still easy to distinguish!
"Wow! They're all so tall! I felt like I was in the land of giants! Even the well-informed Asamu said in surprise.
"That's it! They're all stupid big guys! I'm so bad I have to look up at them! Zhu Xiaobao felt the same way at night, and hummed in annoyance.
"Poof! But they're not as good as you! Qianyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Childe, where should we go to stay?" ”
"Let's go find an inn opened by a small family that is not the Shi family! We're new to the city, so we'd better keep a low profile! Zhu Xiaobao thought for a while and said.
"Hmmm! I thought so too! ”
Finding an inn was still very smooth, and after seeing the waist cards of Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu, the shopkeeper immediately arranged two medium rooms for them. Because the two of them still appeared as senior sisters and brothers on the surface. So every time you open a room, you have to open two!
After settling down, Zhu Xiaobao still repeated his old tricks, wanting to spend some money to find out some useful news. But this time Zhu Xiaobao was very disappointed, those shopkeepers, and even the shopkeepers, were secretive about the Shi family's affairs and were unwilling to talk about it. Not to mention the news about the 'Storm Stone Pill'. Even the specific structure of the Shi family can't be explained. And he looked at Zhu Xiaobao very vigilantly.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper is a kind-hearted person, and he kindly warned Zhu Xiaobao that if there is something about the Shi family, don't ask too much. Any medicinal herb can be bought and sold, but the 'earth and stone rhizome' is not allowed to be traded privately, and can only be sold to the Shi family's medicinal herb shop. And the Shi family's medicinal herb shop will also give a reasonable price according to the age and condition of the 'earth and stone rhizome'!
After living in the 'Shiwei Castle' for two days, Zhu Xiaobao didn't find out any useful news, only knowing that there were actually several Shi family branches in the 'Shiwei Castle', and the current head of the Danfang who had mastered the 'Storm Stone Dan' was a real descendant of the Shi family, and his identity was much higher than that of the clansmen of other branches!
And the shopkeeper of the inn didn't even know which of the real Shi family was and where he lived. It can be seen that the area of 'Shiwei Castle' is large and there are many clansmen. The most important thing is that the other families and those scattered cultivators are already used to this situation, and they don't bother to figure it out. Let a sleeping dog lie! They are willing to stay here for a long time, mainly because the 'Shiwei Castle' is relatively safe and stable. This is what ordinary casual cultivators and those small families value the most!
"Hey, hey! This is still troublesome, I didn't expect the Shi family to have so many branches? Now even the 'Fire Golden Bee' can't find the real family location! Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu sat at the window table in a restaurant. Said a little boredly.
At this moment, he brought back good news with the 'Fire Golden Bee', because it had discovered the two big men who had fought with those four cultivators last time, that is, Shi Yanfei and Shi Yanyong. They were in another restaurant.
"Hmmm! This is a great opportunity to start with the two of them! Let's go, let's go to Shi's restaurant for a drink of two! Zhu Xiaobao was suddenly shocked, and immediately pulled up the light jade to check out and leave.
Following the guidance of the 'Fire Golden Bee', Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu soon came to a restaurant. This is opened by the Shi family, and the obvious feature is that it is very tall and open, and there are men and women who are tall and tall in and out, and there are some people who need to have friendship with the Shi family, or talk about business, and basically few other people are willing to come here to eat.
Therefore, the appearance of Zhu Xiaobao and Qianyu is very strange. Even those shopkeepers looked at the pair of sisters and brothers in great surprise, because these two didn't look like very rich people!
"Oops! What are you doing, two guest officers? This is Shijia's restaurant! The shopkeeper looked at Zhu Xiaobao at the door and asked suspiciously.
"We can't come to eat at Shijia Hotel? You don't have any money to be a young master? Zhu Xiaobao casually threw out a 'superb spirit stone' and asked very unhappily.
"Huh! …… Of course not, they all complain that the little dog looks down on people! Two please! ”
"We're going to the most luxurious private room on the third floor!"
"I'm sorry! The third floor only accepts the clansmen of the Shi family! ”
"Huh? …… Alright then, it's on the second floor! ”
Some people died, but not completely......
