Chapter 279: Mission Travel
Between the rolling mountains, a long river winds eastward, as if it were a jade belt embedded in the vast earth. ¥f,
On the path along the riverbank, a young man in blue galloped forward on a black horse, only to see the horse's hooves flying over the grassy road, and from time to time he brought a pen to www.biquge.info a little black dust and mud.
Bang~
Thunder roared from above the sky.
Wei Changfeng pulled up the reins, slowed down the mount under his crotch, and looked up at the sky.
The weather in the mountains is changing, just now the sun is shining and the sky is clear, and in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds are dense, and seeing a rainstorm is coming, people are very caught off guard.
Hurrying in the rain was not a comfortable thing, Wei Changfeng squinted his eyes and looked farther ahead, trying to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Soon, a small stack on the side of the mountain road came into his sight.
This kind of wild shop is very common along the road along the Yunhai Mountains, and is basically opened by the natives or townspeople of nearby mountain villages and towns, providing simple food and lodging for business travelers.
I really wanted to doze off and came to the pillow, Wei Changfeng was very happy, and immediately accelerated and galloped towards the small stack.
In less than half a pillar of incense, he came to the front of this small stack.
Although the sparrows are small and complete, they are not small shops in the mountains, but there are also four or five stone houses in front and back, with stables and kitchens on both sides, and three or five tables in the pergola in the middle for guests to rest and eat.
Two of the tables were already seated by a dozen people.
"This guest officer"
Before Wei Changfeng dismounted, a man in a gray shirt greeted him with a smile on his face and asked, "Do you want to shoot or stay in the hotel?" We have here the muntjac that Orion just delivered. There are also clean rooms. ”
Wei Changfeng rolled over from his horse and jumped down. Throw the reins in your hand to the other person. said: "Feed my horse some good food first, and then get me fifteen catties of fresh muntjac meat." ”
"Fifteen catties of muntjac meat?"
The man took the reins and was stunned, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears.
"Hey!"
A big man sitting in the pergola was drinking, and he almost sprayed on the spot when he listened: "This is the sky eating the stars?"
Several men in the same seat laughed, and another middle-aged man with an old appearance coughed and said, "Drink and drink, don't talk too much!"
He was clearly very prestigious among his companions, and several of the strong men kept their mouths shut.
Wei Changfeng glanced at them. didn't care, took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into the man's hand, and said, "Hurry up and prepare, and then bring me a good wine, and the extra money will reward you!"
Since he cultivated the Dragon Elephant Bo Ruogong, his appetite has increased greatly, and the demon beast essence meat can swallow ten catties in one meal, and it is not a problem to double the ordinary game!
"Great!"
The guy couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded and said, "You sit down first, and the little one will go and tell the kitchen to prepare!"
Wei Changfeng gave him as much as ten taels of silver. After deducting the money for feeding the horses and drinking and eating, he can at least leave at least six or seven taels. The magnanimity of his shot made him feel like he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
The big man who laughed at Wei Changfeng just now noticed this scene, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Bang~
The thunder grew louder and louder, the heavens and the earth darkened, and the raindrops crackled on the canopy.
Wei Changfeng went in and found an empty table and sat down.
Before the food and wine were served, he seriously thought about his sect mission this time.
Two days ago, Xie Fang sent his second disciple Chen Ting to send Wei Changfeng a task, and this task was related to whether he could enter the inner gate, so it had to be completed.
There are many types of sect missions in the Yunhaimen Meritorious Hall, such as hunting, gathering, guarding, reconnaissance, and destroying the enemy
These tasks are both high-level and low-level, some with great rewards and some ordinary, from the highest head disciple to the most ordinary registered disciple, you can find a task that suits you in it.
However, according to the requirements, the tasks of the sect can be divided into unlimited and limited tasks, the requirements of the former are very broad, and there is usually no time limit, such as the horns of the black ape in the lonely mountain, unlimited time and unlimited number.
Limiting tasks is completely different, there are strict limits on time and rules, and there will be corresponding penalties for taking on tasks and not completing them in time or failing.
Of course, the rewards for limited missions are mostly higher than those for unlimited missions.
The task that Wei Changfeng received was a typical limited task.
The Yunhai Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and although the Yunhai Gate occupies the land of Jinghua as a mountain gate, it is actually only a hundred miles in the area that can really be controlled.
And hundreds of miles away, there are a large number of villages and cottages, or by the mountains or by the water, as few as tens of thousands, there are the remnants of the Great Qin, the mountain villagers, and even the barbarian Wu aborigines settled in it.
Many of these villages and cottages are attached to Yunhaimen, and every year they have to pay tribute such as ores, furs, mountain treasures, herbs, spiritual materials and other special products in order to seek the protection of the latter.
Therefore, when these villages that are attached to the sect encounter difficulties that they cannot solve, the village elders often send people to ask the sect for help.
Wei Changfeng's task is precisely related to this.
A few days ago, Gujiazhai, which was three hundred miles away from Yunhai City, sent people to report to the sect, saying that a terrible demon beast had appeared near the village, devouring more than a dozen villagers and hunters in a row, making people in the village panic, and everyone did not dare to go out to cultivate and hunt.
Originally, things like this often happened before, there were many demon beasts that inhabited the Yunhai Mountain Range, and there were many people who occasionally went down the mountain to cause harm, and the sect would send masters to kill them.
But this time, the sect paid more attention, because in addition to Gujiazhai, there were four or five other villages that had been attacked by demon beasts, and according to the descriptions of the survivors, these demon beasts were very unusual.
Therefore, the sect issued a task for this purpose, and recruited the disciples of the sect to go to various villages to investigate and solve.
Xie Fang got one of them for Wei Changfeng.
The time limit is ten days, and it is required to thoroughly investigate the cause of the monster's movements, and the more monsters that can be hunted, the better, and the more perfect the solution, the higher the reward.
According to Xie Fang, if Wei Changfeng can do a good job in this mission, the rewards he will receive should be enough to offset the requirements of ten ordinary sect tasks, saving a lot of time.
It won't be long before he is going to retreat and impact the realm of transforming gods, so he hopes that Wei Changfeng can bow to his subordinates as much as possible.
Wei Changfeng already knew the details of the task, but this task seemed very unusual to him.
The key is the demon beasts, according to the villagers, they haunt the dusk or night, and their actions are as ferocious as the wind, and the victims often do not have half of their bones left.
These villages are not without warriors, but they are not the opponents of this kind of demon beasts at all, and they are also very cunning, specializing in attacking villagers who are alone or in groups of three or two, and do not directly attack the village.
There must be something strange in it!
"Come on, you can hide from the rain here!"
While Wei Changfeng was thinking, there was a commotion outside.
I saw a caravan hurrying in front of the inn, with a dozen pack horses carrying goods and twenty or thirty merchants, escorts, and young men and women carrying burdens.
The boys, men and women, dressed in ordinary clothes and looking like the children of the mountain people of the village, laughed and spread out their steps, and rushed into the pergola like a whirlwind to avoid the growing wind and rain outside.
The pergola, which was originally small, suddenly became lively and crowded.
They took up the rest of the empty tables, chattering, and all looking excited.
Wei Changfeng listened to a few words, and heard that these children of mountain people were originally going to live in Yunhai City, and they were probably apprentices in the pawnshop, and most of them had a yearning for a new life.
Looking at them, Wei Changfeng couldn't help but think of himself thousands of years ago, at the beginning, he also walked out of a small mountain village, first as a buddy in a medicinal herb shop in the county seat, and later as a medicine picker
Thinking back to the old days, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his lips.
Bang!
The big man from before slapped the table hard and shouted, "What a noise, it's a dead noise!"
The pergola was suddenly silent, and the young men and girls who were talking excitedly all closed their mouths, some did not know why, some were frightened, and some dared to be angry.
The big man and his companions all looked powerful, and they were armed with swords and weapons, and they were obviously not good people, and they could not afford to provoke them.
"This uncle, I'm really sorry!"
An old man in cloth came in with his heels, and when he saw this, he hurriedly bowed down to the big man and apologized: "They are all country children, and if they don't understand the rules, please forgive me." ”
The big man snorted, his face trembled, and he opened his mouth to scold a few more words.
The old man waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Forget it." ”
The old man in cloth bowed and thanked him, and at the end he glared at the boys and girls fiercely, making the latter silent.
At this time, the merchants and guards outside, having settled their pack horses, entered the pergola, which made the inside even more crowded, and there were not enough tables.
Most of them heard the movement just now, but they didn't say anything, just looked at the group of big men with vigilant eyes, and then found a place to sit down.
Wei Changfeng's table also sat down two merchants, one of whom asked with a smile, "Little brother, is it okay to take a seat together?"
sat down and asked like this, obviously because Wei Changfeng was young and could be bullied, and he didn't take him to heart.
Wei Changfeng nodded quietly.
"Guest officer, the muntjac you ordered is here!"
The guy brought Wei Changfeng a large pot of braised stew, and said, "There are five catties here, you eat slowly first, the master in the back is still cooking, and I will serve you wine." ”
He received the benefits given by Wei Changfeng, so he was extremely attentive.
But immediately someone couldn't see it!
