Chapter Seventy-Two: On the Errand Mission
Huo Rongdong took the task, sent a message to Qi Ci and Master Yunqian respectively, and then picked up the sword and went down the mountain.
She first went to the Yangshan iron smelting shop.
This shop is located in the downtown area of Bai Yujing, and it is a relatively famous refining shop in the city, which can receive high-end private customization, and also sells low-end finished products, and many ordinary disciples and individual rangers will choose to patronize it. There are many refining masters in the shop, which can be described as making money every day.
When Huo Rendong entered the door, he saw all kinds of swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks hanging on the wall.
Xiao Er came up attentively: "What does the fairy want to see?" ”
Huo Rongdong explained the situation carefully, and Xiao Er pointed to the back of the counter: "The shopkeeper is taking accounts there, fairy, please go by yourself." ”
She walked over and saw that the shopkeeper of the iron-smelting shop was a middle-aged monk with a big belly, wearing a brocade robe with copper coin patterns, and a pair of fat hands were flexibly playing the abacus, making a "pop" sound.
Listening to her explain her intentions, the shopkeeper smiled, and his little eyes were rolling, as if he was playing some bad idea.
"It turns out that you are a fairy of Tianyan Sect, and it is really a great honor to be able to take on this little task from me."
"The contemptible shop and all the lineages of your sect have cooperated to provide some ordinary disciples' entry weapons, although there is this relationship, but the contemptible person still has to carefully talk to the fairy about the mission."
The shopkeeper stretched out two fingers: "The reward is a total of twenty medium-grade spirit stones, provided that you collect twenty drops of old cow tears for this delivery, if there is one drop, there will be one less spirit stone, this, the fairy should be able to understand, right?" ”
Huo Rongdong smiled kindly: "I took the task this time, it doesn't matter how much money you have, what matters is how much you have and how many friends you have." ”
"The fairy is so spirited! Contemptible people are really ashamed of themselves. ”
The shopkeeper gave a thumbs up, and said in his heart, where did this come from, the wronged lady who doesn't touch the spring water! When the mission fails and there is no pay, don't come and cry with him!
As he spoke, he handed over another piece of paper: "Fairy, please see, the record on it is the twenty farmers who will deliver the goods this time, you take the goods in turn, the contemptible person is an honest businessman, and he will be rewarded according to the amount." ”
Huo Rongdong nodded: "Okay." ”
That being said, while the content of the task may seem like an untechnical errand, it is very tedious to act.
These twenty peasant families are spread across four major towns, and if they don't have flying magic weapons, they can probably run ordinary disciples to death just by walking.
Fortunately, Huo Nindong's sword flying skills have been perfected, and it is just a matter of effort to find a remote village in the mountains and forests.
After successfully collecting two households in a row, the other party saw her take out the voucher given by the shopkeeper, and delivered the goods very happily.
The old cow tears, the ghosts and gods can be seen in the painting. This thing is not a liquid, but a crystalline, and one farmer enthusiastically told her not to touch the water, otherwise it will dissolve and she will never be recovered.
Huo Rendong said in his heart that such an important matter, the shopkeeper didn't tell her, and hurriedly thanked her repeatedly.
When they arrived at a small village in the town of Xindong, they saw that the farmers were all working in the fields, so they inquired about the residences of the delivery farmers.
"Old Li Tou, his house is next to the big willow tree in the east of the village, and you can see the three tiled houses at a glance!"
Huo Rongdong found the home of a farmer surnamed Li, and saw that there was an old cow tied to the yard and was grazing leisurely.
She knocked on the door of the courtyard to explain her intentions, and slightly revealed a little magical power, coupled with her good appearance and temperament, the farmer's family hurriedly bowed their heads and called "fairy girl" in their mouths.
The peasant who was called Lao Li Tou was an old man with white hair, dressed in green cloth, neat and clean, at least there was no pudding, and when he saw that Huo Honeysuckle was kind, he mustered up the courage to tremble and asked.
"The fairy aunt wants the old cow to cry, this is set by the shopkeeper of the original shop, and the old man will go and get it. It's just, it's just, can the fairy girl ......?"
Huo Rendong took a look: "If my husband has any difficulties, he can be blunt." ”
Lao Li wiped his face, only to feel that there was nowhere to put an old face, and he felt that he had a request for a strange fairy, and he was afraid that he would not get any results, so his knees were weak and slid straight to the ground.
"Xiangu Mingjian, my family's few acres of thin fields are all in the east of Dashan, and I usually water the crops from the small stream behind the mountain. But half a month ago, the flow of the creek suddenly stopped, and we went to the source of the water, and saw a huge rock blocking the waterway, which could not be shaken at all. ”
"Now that there are no small streams, our family has to walk several miles of mountain roads to carry water to the ravines, several times a day, but it is not enough...... Seeing that the wheat seedlings are short of water, the harvest will be out this year. ”
The old man wiped his tears silently: "Ask the fairy aunt for help......"
He didn't know that he was lucky enough to meet a rare kind-hearted person.
Huo Rendong waved his hand, and a light breeze lifted the old man up.
"Uncle, please get up. Where is the big rock? I'll take a look. ”
Lao Li Tou was overjoyed, he didn't expect this little fairy girl to be so easy to talk to, not only listened to him patiently, but also was willing to help solve the problem. When he grew up to such an age, it was the first time he met such an immortal who helped the poor and the poor, just like the legendary immortal who specialized in helping the poor!
He hurriedly explained to his son and daughter-in-law, and took the hat: "I'll take the fairy aunt to the creek, and you can take care of your home." ”
The old farmer has walked the mountain road all his life, and his feet are not slow, Huo Rendong's body is as light as a swallow, and his steps are fast, and the two of them arrived at the place in a short time.
The wheat fields below the mountain are faintly shaking, and dry cracks can be seen in the channel where the stream used to flow. The mouth of the river was blocked by a large rock, and no water could flow, except for the wetness and moss in the crevices of the edges.
Huo Rendong stretched out his hand and touched it, checked around again, turned around and told his uncle not to walk around, he supported the stone with his hand, and jumped over directly.
The soil is dry and cracked after the big stones, but in front of the big stones, a small reservoir is filled with abundant stream water.
The fish swimming in it is shallow, the duckweed is still clinging, and it is not at all possible that because of the lack of water not far away, some farmers are worried.
Huo Rendong stood on the top of the stone and looked at it for a long time, only then did he determine that the stone was deliberately placed here, and it was not naturally rolled down at all.
She pinched a levitation spell and stepped on the surface of the water with her foot raised, as she sent the Sunset Sword to the bottom, inserting it in the crevice to pry the boulder.
The girl pinched her hands with both hands, her brows were tightly locked, there were words in her mouth, the flying sword was buzzing, and the big stone had just been pried a little, and suddenly someone scolded her.
"Bold, who deliberately sabotage!"
Huo Rongdong looked behind him and saw two people coming in front of him, standing on a small boat, floating along the waves.
One person she recognized was Wang Peiling's senior brother and Zou Linghai's eldest disciple Lu Yan.
The other person is born, although he is dressed in a jade tree and a treasure crown, but he is born with a thief's eyebrows, but looking at the jade plate hanging on his body, he should also be a true disciple of Peach Blossom Valley.
When she looked at the two, the visitors were also looking at her.
Lu Yan was slightly stunned: "Why is her." ”
Zhang Su beside him sneered: "Isn't this just for us to be caught?" ”
Zhang Su is a true disciple of Li Yan, and he can be regarded as a good person in Peach Blossom Valley. He has always regarded Wang Peiling as his own sister, but now that his master has been robbed of his magic weapon and his sister has been punished against the wall, the younger brothers in Peach Blossom Valley have only felt that they can't raise their heads.
Zhang Su didn't dare to provoke Qi Ci head-on, so he could only hate and scold in secret, and even Huo Rongdong was regarded as a thorn in his side.
Now that he met outside the sect, he couldn't wait to call the heavens to open his eyes.
Zhang Su clasped his hands around his chest, and said coldly: "Who are you, how dare you destroy the natural formation I carefully set up!" ”
Huo Rongdong knew that this matter couldn't be simpler, so he bowed his hand: "Two senior brothers, I am a true disciple of Yunqian True Monarch, named Huo Rongdong. Passing through this village for the task, he was entrusted by the local villagers to remove the boulders to dredge the stream and facilitate the people to irrigate the fields. ”
Zhang Su listened: "Bold! ”
"This stone is the eye of the natural formation, if the stone is removed, won't our more than half a month's hard work be ruined!"
Lu Yan also said: "This boulder can't be moved, if it is moved, the stream will be empty, and the waterhole magic circle will be invalid." ”
Huo Rongdong couldn't understand: "What kind of natural magic circle needs to sacrifice the source of irrigation for the local people?" ”
Zhang Su sneered: "A few mortal people, just like ants." It's not their lives, it's just a stream, and it doesn't belong to them. ”
He pointed to the secluded waterhole, "There are arowana seedlings in this stream, and they will be raised like this, and they will grow up in a few days." Use the arowana to refine the golden pill and dedicate it to the master, which can prolong life. ”
Huo Rongdong was directly stunned.
"Just to sacrifice to the elders?"
"Next month is Li Daojun's 700th birthday, we have been preparing this gift for a long time, to tell you, get away from each other, don't come to get in the way!"
Huo Rongdong suppressed his anger: "Do you know that with this big stone blocked here, the farmer's field is about to dry up, and if you want to raise arowana, you don't have to completely cut off the water flow!" ”
Zhang Su also lost his patience, and with a wave of his hand, a string of short sword spells flew out from behind, circling and dancing in circles: "Let you leave it alone, you have to take care of it." If you delay the birthday gift of the master, I only ask you! ”
Huo Rendong's eyes were dark, and she looked at the two male cultivators in front of her who were motionless and did not intend to be reasonable at all, and silently lowered her head.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhang Su thought she had given up, and said: "If you know each other, when we finish our big business, we will pay ......them back."
It's just that before he finished speaking, he felt a sword intent coming over, suppressing the second half of his words. Zhang Su was shocked, but saw the water under the pool tumbling, as if boiling.
"Oh no, she's going to pry the stone open!"
said that it was too late, Zhang Su took the lead in taking out the sword, and the seven small swords flying around his back turned around and went in the direction of Huo Rendong, arranging the troops without a flaw.
Zhang Su's Seven Sword Formation can be attacked and defended, and it has always been invincible during the foundation building period.
Lu Yan next to him didn't expect him to draw his sword, he was so easy to draw his sword, he looked at the girl dodging the sword left and right, and there was a trace of happiness.
I just want to see what this makes Pei Ling and Shizun's ugly woman interesting from now on.
With a little uncle as a backer, do you really think you are invincible in the world? When you meet the real foundation building predecessors, it is not the strength to see the real chapter.
However, the truth did not go as they wished, Huo Rongdong must have raised his hand to release something. Suddenly, I saw a pink lotus bloom in the void, firmly protecting her in the center.
Seven small swords circled around the Eight Treasure Lotus Cover, making a spark sound, but they couldn't break the lotus petals at all.
Zhang Su gritted his teeth hatefully: "Heavenly Rank Magic Weapon!" ”
