Chapter Seventy-Six: Return to Yujing City
By the time the three of them returned to Yujing City with the Crying Mountain Ghost, it was already twilight all around.
Because of the previous ghost scene in the Crying Mountain, the originally very lively night in Yujing City has become lonely. There are no open stalls in the once crowded streets, and there was a long queue at the gate of the city not long ago, and now there are only a few guards standing scattered.
When Xie Zhengliu and the three of them entered the city, a guard suddenly glanced at them a few times, and then hurriedly took the initiative to greet them: "Was it a few Taoist friends who helped save our monks in the city yesterday?" ”
His words circled around Zhuang Youqian's head, and the three of them reacted.
"It's us, how are the dozen or so Daoists who were captured by the Crying Mountain Ghost now?" Because the situation was really bad at that time, Zhuang Youqian and the others were not able to escort the monks back.
However, many of those dozen people have high cultivation, so nothing should happen.
Just when Yue Mingqiu and Zhuang Youqian were worried, the guard seemed to see what the two were thinking, and immediately explained: "Don't worry, they have all come back safely, and now they have joined their relatives and friends, and they also said that they will come to thank them in person after a few Taoist friends come back." ”
The three of them hurriedly waved their hands, saying that they had only done a small thing, so that they didn't have to be so polite.
The guards didn't entangle with them in this matter, but said: "The benevolent deeds of several Daoists have reached the ears of our city lord, and the city lord has ordered before, if a few of them come back, we must go and report to him." I don't know if the three of you are free now, why don't you go to the City Lord's Mansion with us to meet the City Lord? ”
"It just so happens that the Buddha cultivator who is traveling with us has already caught the Wailing Mountain Ghost, and we are going to hand over the Crying Mountain Ghost to the city lord when we come back this time." Xie Zhengliu and the other two glanced at each other, and simply agreed to the guard's request.
The city gate is not far from the City Lord's Mansion, not to mention that there are guards who specially summoned a flying magic weapon, and the four of them appeared in front of the City Lord's Mansion in a blink of an eye.
Liu Yuansu, who had already received the news from his subordinates, had been waiting in front of the mansion early, and when he saw the three of them coming back with the Crying Mountain Ghost, he took three steps and two steps to greet him.
After seeing the appearance of the three of them clearly, the surprise in Liu Yuansu's eyes was even worse: "It turns out that the three of you saved so many monks, it seems that the three of us are really destined for our Jade Capital City!" ”
"The city lord is polite, we are only stained with the light of the Xuanshu Buddha, and it was the Buddha who attracted the attention of the two villains that gave us the opportunity to save people." Xie Zhengliu truthfully informed Liu Yuansu of the situation at that time, and he did not mean to take the initiative to ask for credit at all.
Liu Yuansu actually knew about the situation at that time from the mouths of those monks who escaped, but he didn't agree with Xie Zhengliu's words: "I naturally know that Xuanshu Buddha has made a lot of credit this time, but it is precisely because of the presence of three of them that the Buddha can attract the attention of the two villains without worries." ”
"The three of them saved so many monks in my Jade Capital City, and escorted the Crying Mountain Ghost back, such a great favor cannot be wiped out with a few simple words."
The other party said everything to this point, and Xie Zhengliu didn't shirk it anymore.
Originally, Liu Yuansu wanted to ask for more details, but because it was not early, and the three of them had been working hard outside for a long time, Liu Yuansu did not continue to delay their time.
He instructed the guards to lock the Wailing Mountain Ghost in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, and specially let them lay out several formations in the dungeon to prevent the Crying Mountain Ghost from waking up and escaping.
Xie Zhengliu saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he said goodbye and left first.
They went back to the inn where they had stayed before, but fortunately, the innkeeper was a good person, although the three of them disappeared for a day and a night inexplicably, he didn't ask much.
Seeing that they were finally back, the boss hurried to stop the three of them before they went upstairs: "The three of them were not there from last night to this morning, and the immortal master who lived opposite the female fairy master also specially looked for you." He couldn't find anyone, so he left on his own. However, before he left, he left a storage bag for the three of them, and also helped the three of them renew the room fee for one night, saying that it was the reward for the three to save him. ”
The boss presented a dusty storage bag, on which there was no sign of the spiritual power prohibition being opened.
Xie Zhengliu frowned and took it: "I wonder if that person has anything to say before leaving?" ”
The boss shook his head: "That immortal master looks very anxious, he only said that when he finishes dealing with the trivial matters on his body, he will come to find the three again." ”
Although I don't know what exactly is in the storage bag, I don't know what Bu Zhiyi is doing this for. But Xie Zhengliu and the three of them still thanked the boss, and then turned around and went upstairs.
They didn't rush back to their room, but followed Xie Zheng into her room.
After the three of them sat down, Xie Zhengliu lifted the ban and poured out the contents of the storage bag.
The sound of a rattle accompanied by the sound of the spirit stones falling sounded in the room, and by the time the three of them reacted, they were almost buried by the shiny spirit stones all over the ground.
Xie Zhengliu didn't dare to fall down anymore, she hurriedly used the storage bag to put all the spirit stones back, and then her divine sense swept away, and the whole person was stunned.
Not only her, but Yue Mingqiu and Zhuang Youqian on the side also swept the storage bag with their divine senses, and the huge number that popped up in their heads made the three of them fall into a deep shock.
"Lao Yue, pinch me, I'll see if I'm dreaming!"
Yue Mingqiu obediently gave Zhuang Youqian a look, and heard his screams as he wished.
was beaten by the two like this, and the three of them gradually calmed down.
They sat around the table, with mixed feelings about the storage bag in front of them.
"One hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones, this is one hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones! Didn't that person say that he was a casual cultivator, and now he is so rich? "This is a huge temptation for Zhuang Youqian, who is addicted to money," I have begun to regret my previous attitude towards him. ”
Yue Mingqiu nodded in agreement.
Not to mention Zhuang Youqian, even Xie Zhengliu, who has always felt that Bu Zhizhi has bad intentions, regrets it a little.
"It's okay." She comforted, "Didn't Bu Zhiyi say that he would come to us again later, and when he reappeared, we must be warm and friendly to him." You have to remember that what we are facing is not a simple casual cultivation, it is clearly a big treasure with a mountain of gold in his arms! ”
A person who can easily give away 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?
And at this moment, Bu Zhiyi, who has been recognized by the three of them as a good person, that is, Shen Zhuoyu, is on the way to chase after Xuanshu.
Until the middle of the moon, the night wind blows.
Xuanshu, who was walking on the wasteland, finally stopped and looked at the darkness behind him: "Friends who followed me all the way, don't you want to show up now?" ”
His words fell, and a pitch-black figure finally slowly appeared.
