Chapter Forty-Eight: Ascending the Tower
The tower is nine floors, and the parasitic beast is the lowest, and it should be registered on the first floor according to common sense.
and other demon beasts whose strength can match those of a higher order, they can apply for an upgrade, which the murderers have said, but they have not said anything about registering on several levels.
Therefore, the registration on the first floor is Yun Qing's rational speculation.
It was the fat man's turn to be confused, "Why a layer?" ”
"Isn't the parasitic beast the lowest-level demon beast? Aren't fourth, fifth, or sixth-grade martial artists only able to hunt low-level demon beasts? After Yun Qing asked, he waited for the fat man to solve his doubts.
It turned out that he didn't understand the classification of demon beasts, but the fat man smiled "haha" and explained: "You have to know that the parasitic beast is a second-order demon beast. ”
"Second Order?" Yun Qing and the Sending Beast had once met in the swamp, how could the strength of the Sending Beast be a second-order?
For Yunqing's apprentice, the fat man was very patient, and said: "The parasitic beast is indeed the lowest level demon beast, below it, it is a first-order demon beast, but the first-order demon beast is not actually called a demon beast, it can only be called a fierce beast, such as a tiger, a fierce leopard and the like, in this way, it is not wrong that the parasitic beast is the lowest level demon beast." ”
"So that's the case, so the sixth-rank martial artist hunts low-level demon beasts, which is actually the second order, because the first order is not considered a demon beast." Yun Qing suddenly realized.
"Fat Qi, you have deceived another fool." On the second floor, there was a sympathetic taunt.
The fat man's face turned red without a trace, and he straightened his neck and argued: "Tu Qian, you don't talk nonsense, my apprentice and I are called fate." ”
The fat man turned a little pale, turned back to Yun Qing and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Xiaoqing, you said yes?" ”
Yun Qing's "uh-huh" two sounds were considered to be answers, but his eyes never left the fat man's invisible neck.
With Yun Qing's affirmation, the weakness of the heart became an illusion, and the fat man's bulky body turned out to be extremely light.
"Listen, my apprentice also said that it was a fate!"
There was no figure to be seen in the dim flower hall on the second floor, and the fat man took three steps and two steps to a screen carved in black stone, where there was a desk, on which were placed eight copper plates four feet square.
"Engrave your name on the bronze book of the teacher." The fat man couldn't wait to urge.
Yun Qing touched this and that without hurrying, he turned around on the second floor and didn't see anyone talking.
Finally, he stopped in front of the copper plate that the fat man said, looked at the dozens of names engraved on it, and asked casually, "Who did the master talk to just now?" ”
"Who else? An old immortal. Engrave your name quickly. The fat man seemed to be afraid that Yun Qing would regret it.
"Ji Ji~~ You are also an old immortal, and your apprentice will not see you die when he dies."
This time, Yun Qing heard it clearly, and then looked at the trumpet-shaped object in the corner of the roof, and said in his heart: "It turned out that the sound was transmitted through the pipe." ”
Follow the first name on the copper plate one by one to see the end, about ninety percent of the names are followed by a date.
"What does this date mean?" Yun Qing had a guess in his heart, but he still asked.
He also noticed that the most recent dates were half a month ago, and if it was the time of death, it was actually very close.
The fat man was unnaturally silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Those who have a date are dead." ”
After speaking, his face was unusually calm, and he no longer urged Yun Qing.
"Where are the other four?"
Yunqing found several names that were not dated, Luo Xiaoyi, Wen Cun, Zhang Jinquan, and Jing Xiu.
"They are in the Langgu Mountains to the west." The fat man seems to have changed as a person, and there is more loneliness in the calm.
If it comes, it will be safe, and Yunqing will engrave the word "Qingyun" on the copper plate.
"Do you really want to see me as a guide?" The fat man tried to keep his small eyes open, not understanding that the beggar had followed his wish after knowing this.
"There's nothing you can't do." Yun Qing said lightly.
"That's good, that's good!" The fat man returned to his previous look.
"Truly~~ as you wish." The sound of laughter echoed in the second floor.
The fat man patted Yun Qing's shoulder with relief, "Let's go, don't pay attention to him." ”
Out of the tower gate, the fat man explained seriously: "At the end of tomorrow morning, you come here to go to Langgu Mountain with me, don't delay the time, once you get on the bronze book, you have to abide by the rules here." ”
Yun Qing had known this for a long time, but there was one thing that the murderer had never mentioned, "What if you want to quit?" ”
"You can quit by completing the tasks posted in the building, and you know, it's just a relatively loose organization."
The fat man waved his hand and signaled that Yunqing could go.
Yun Qing looked up at the nine-story tower that had been shrouded in the shadows of the clouds. Curious: "Master Qi, what's on it, have you ever been there?" ”
The fat man's face changed slightly, "The third floor has been, what is the top, I think few people here know, it's best to put away your curiosity." ”
With Yun Qing's understanding of the fat man in a short period of time, his words were already quite severe, Yun Qing nodded and left this shadow.
"Well, what the hell have I done?" The fat man shook his head, turned and returned to the tower gate.
Yun Qing quickly walked through Yuan Street to a remote place, and burned the shabby notice that he had torn out in his hand, and on it was his portrait.
"If it was posted a few months ago at this level of newness, it seems that the government has given up?"
Yun Qing secretly thought, "There is another possibility, paralyzing me, waiting for me to throw myself into the net?" ”
In either case, going to Langgu Mountain with Qi Xi can not only get close to that target, but also avoid it for a while, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a loss-making deal.
Unconsciously arrived at the old courtyard, Xiaodou greeted him as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, and said softly: "I'm back, they're waiting for you to eat." ”
"Uh, let's wash first." Xiaodou turned around and brought a basin of hot water and put it under the eaves.
The food on the broken table was as windy as ever, and after eating, Yunqing took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and put them on the table.
"What is this for?" Li Songhan was taken aback, one hundred taels of silver was enough for them to live for several months.
Yun Qing stretched out his hand to wipe off the steamed bun residue from the corner of Xiao Mao's mouth, and said, "I'm going out for a while, there are children here, take it." ”
"No, no, you can't ask for this." Li Songhan said decisively.
Xiao Yi picked up the silver ticket and stuffed it into Yun Qing's arms, "Brother Qingyun, our brothers have found a job in the blacksmith workshop, and we want to accept this silver, so where will our old faces go." ”
The adults are in trouble here, and then destroy their remaining backbone, Yun Qing can't, so he has to give up.
In the evening, Yun Qing summoned Xiaodou to the backyard, took out the silver ticket and put it in her hand, and advised: "Take this spare, Xiaomao is still young." ”
Xiaodou is very smart, knows that the world is impermanent, there is silver, and it can really save his life at a critical time, after accepting the silver ticket, he still only said two words to the mysterious young man in front of him who had saved himself: "Thank you!" ”
In the early morning, Yunqing stepped on the cold dew of dawn, and in Xiaodou's concerned gaze, he walked out of the old courtyard and closed the courtyard door.
