Chapter 37: The Mumba People
At the beginning, Wan Qingping also had great hopes and wanted to solve the magic weapon problem in one fell swoop, but unfortunately as he checked it, he was more and more disappointed in his heart, no wonder there were no customers in the store, it turned out that there were no good goods!
After all the inspections were completed, Wan Qingping still frowned and asked, "That's all?" This tone is obviously that Wan Qingping is not satisfied with these magic weapons, and Wan Qingping still has another doubt in his heart, did the old man take the wrong thing, otherwise why is it all a bunch of "rags"?
The old man also knew that a Gu master in the late stage of foundation building like Wan Qingping would not be interested in these magic weapons, because although these magic weapons were all top-level magic weapons, they were all the bottom of some top-level magic weapons, so he said with some embarrassment: "Daoist friends, don't blame, last month, our Jiuli tribe donated a batch of magic weapons to the Mumba people on the grassland in the north, so now it's not just a small shop, almost all the magic weapon shops are almost out of stock!"
What do these three words mean when the old man speaks? Wan Qingping was confused for a while, but the meaning of the old man's words was very clear, there was no good magic weapon!
So Wan Qingping didn't ask much, and immediately nodded quietly, just secretly remembering the grassland, the Mumba people, and Jinxian in his heart, and then turned around and left the shop.
However, based on the old man's words alone, Wan Qingping, who was cautious by nature, didn't believe it at all, and within half an hour, he went around the rest of the shops selling magic weapons one after another, but the answers he got were almost the same: there were no good magic weapons, all of them were taken away by the Mumba people on the grassland!
At this time, Wan Qingping finally believed what the old man said, hesitated for a moment, and quickly returned to the first shop: "Fellow Daoist, when will your store have new magic weapons for sale?"
The old man obviously recognized Wan Qingping, but he shook his head with a wry smile: "The Mumba people are not good at refining weapons, since our Jiuli tribe is sheltered under the Mumba people, we have to pay some price, and the day of tribute is not once every ten years, so it is estimated that there will be no new magic weapons on the market in the next half a year, and all of them must be supplied to the Mumba people first!"
After listening to the old man's words, Wan Qingping didn't say more, walked out of the shop, and went straight to the fourth floor of the Sanmiao Law Building. From the first floor to the third floor, Wan Qingping had spent several months roughly reading some of the classics, and he generally had some understanding of the Jiuli tribe, and he felt that he didn't need to read them anymore;
This was the first time Wan Qingping had come to the fourth floor of the Law Building, and he saw that in addition to some mortals who took care of the classics, the number of Gu masters who came to consult the classics was obviously much more than the three floors below.
The layout of the fourth floor is slightly different from the first floor, but the difference is not big, ask the maid in front of the counter, and know that the fee for reading the classics here is charged according to the time, and a spirit stone is charged a day, Wan Qingping nodded, feeling that it is not expensive.
In fact, the purpose of the Sanmiao branch of the Jiuli tribe to set up the canonical law building is not to earn spirit stones, but to allow the Gu masters of their clan to get enough cultivation knowledge, after all, the population of the Jiuli tribe is not very prosperous, and every person with cultivation qualifications is very important to the clan, so it is only one spirit stone a day, almost all Gu masters can pay it, and it is allowed to spend a small amount of spirit stones here to get some exercises and the like, of course, these exercises are some ordinary exercises, but even so, this is unthinkable in Wandaohai。
Remembering some of the things he had just heard in the Ritual Instrument Shop, Wan Qingping was filled with curiosity and asked a mortal maid directly about the Mumba people's scriptures.
After getting the classics, Wan Qingping went to the place dedicated to reading the classics, and carefully looked through the several classics in his hand that introduced the Mumba people.
An hour later, Wan Qingping stretched his waist, he had already roughly read a classic, beckoned, asked the maid to pour a cup of hot tea, and then picked up another book, and so on, after a long time, Wan Qingping raised his head and thought quietly.
The Jiuli Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, the climate is hot and humid all year round, and the special environment has caused poisonous insects and monsters to reproduce a lot, it is not an exaggeration to describe the poor mountains and bad waters, due to the poor living environment, most of the people of the Jiuli tribe live in the periphery of the Jiuli Mountains, even so, the living environment of the periphery is only better than the inside, so the population of the Jiuli tribe is not very much. The population base is small, and the number of natural Gu Masters will not be too much, after all, mortals are the foundation of monks, so it is not surprising that the Jiuli tribe only has four Gu Infant Cultivators.
Out of the Jiuli Mountains, to the north is a grassland with abundant water and grass, known as the "Momba Grassland", its area is very vast, it is said that the Gu Infant Monk can fly continuously for a year to cross the entire grassland, as for the monk in the later stage of foundation building such as Wan Qingping, it is estimated that it will take decades to fly to the end of the grassland.
There have been a group of nomadic tribes living in the grassland for generations, the tribes are large and small, the small tribes are only 100 people, but the large tribes can reach hundreds of thousands, this group of people is called the Mumba people.
No one knows how many Mumba tribes there are, because there are tribes that disappear under various natural disasters all the time, but there are also new tribes formed all the time, but one thing is very clear, that is, the number of monks of the Mumba people is not comparable to the small Jiuli tribe, and the strength is almost equivalent to more than ten Jiuli tribes.
It is recorded that except for a limited number of periods, there are a few Gu masters in the Jiuli tribe, and such geniuses are so strong that they even kill monks of the same level like slaughtering chickens and dogs, so that the Mumba people dare not underestimate it too much, and most of the time the Jiuli tribe has to rely on the Mumba people, which is also a helpless move for the weak.
Fortunately, the Mumba people are accustomed to living after water and grass, and are not suitable for farming life, and they can't tolerate the humid and hot climate of the Jiuli Mountains, so they have not encroached on the living place of the Jiuli tribe.
Relying on the strong is not an empty sentence with white teeth, naturally there is a price, the Mumba people have a flaw, that is, they are not good at refining weapons, not only the monks are not good at refining magic weapons, it is said that ordinary Mumba mortals can't even make an iron pot. I don't know if it's born like this, or if it's another reason, so for thousands of years, the Jiuli tribe has paid tribute to Brother Mumba every ten years in exchange for a batch of magic weapons in exchange for living space.
It's a small year, I wish you all a happy reunion!
