Chapter 246: A Helper Who Doesn't Want Money
Tsurumi Hatsukumo turned her head and glanced at it, she was already running as fast as she could, but the people chasing her behind were faster, and the distance between the two sides kept getting closer as time passed.
The situation was not good, she saw everything in her eyes, but there was no expression on her face, and after a short pause, she continued to run forward, through the complex alleyways, directly into the street, towards the ruined buildings in the distance.
One of the men who followed her, wearing a red ghost market mask and a small beard on his chin, waved behind her.
"She went in the direction of the old Yu family, you follow, I'll chase over there."
"Yes." Someone behind answered, and the bearded man nodded when he heard the sound, but when he looked back, he was stunned for a moment.
"What about the others?"
"Huh? You were with me just now, why aren't you here now? โ
"Lose it."
"Leave them alone, stop the woman before anything else."
Several people began to act separately, and the three of them continued to chase Tsurumi Hatsuun, while the bearded man went into the small alley next to him alone, and his figure quickly disappeared.
And Tsurumi Hatsukumo is like a tireless machine, constantly running forward with her legs and feet, and every step she takes seems so powerful, but as she runs farther and farther, her running movements begin to stiffen.
At this time, the three people behind her were less than three feet away from her, and the distance was still getting closer.
And the bearded man who had disappeared before suddenly appeared in front of her, and the eyes behind the mask radiated a greedy light.
"Look where you're going!"
Under the hat, Tsurumi Hatsuun's face still did not change, and it could even be said that he was sluggish, of course she saw the bearded man, but she did not choose to change direction because of this, but accelerated her speed and rushed directly.
This unusual scene made the bearded man wonder in his heart. But before he had time to think about it, Tsurumi Hatsuyun had already come to him, and he subconsciously reached out to control her, but as soon as his hand touched her, his fingers felt a hot temperature.
In the next second, Tsurumi Hatsukumo's body dried up, and in an instant it turned into a cloud of colored ashes, and as soon as the wind blew, it floated around.
"Puppetry?" ยท
On the other side, Tsurumi Hatsukumo, who was also running, suddenly stopped in a dead end, and the people chasing behind him also stopped at the entrance of the alley.
"Run, why don't you run?"
She glanced back, but didn't say a word, the two people who chased were strange, and after looking at each other, they walked forward, but after two steps, Tsuru saw that Hatsuyun turned into ashes and scattered under their noses, and suddenly the ashes swept away, and a sword qi shot out, the two of them were startled, and hurriedly dodged, but the sword qi had existed on the puppet for too long, and most of the original power was attenuated, and it dissipated without a trace before the two of them.
After a false alarm, the two came back to their senses and looked at the puppet that had been burned by Tsurumi Hatsukumo and fell into deep thought.
When?
Where did she go herself?
And at the same time, the real Tsurumi Hatsukumo was already eating breakfast in a teahouse.
"Little two checkout."
"Good guest officer, a total of ten cents."
After paying, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and walked out of the restaurant leisurely, when Shen Yi asked, "How are your two puppets?" โ
"This ...... I guess it's pretty much the same. She replied not very sure.
She is only in the beginning of the puppet technique, and it has not yet reached the point of profundity, after throwing the puppets out, she can't feel their existence, but she can sense the sword qi left in the body of one of the puppets, and now it has disappeared, obviously an accident.
But none of this mattered anymore, she had changed her makeup long before entering the teahouse, and she had taken off her hat and mask.
She has now changed back to Jiang Yiyi, or her new name, Feng Yinxiang.
Even if the bearded man and the others were standing in front of her now, they wouldn't recognize her as the strange woman who was selling pills in the ghost market.
After leaving the teahouse, she went to several shops and bought all kinds of paper, pen and ink, some materials for disguise, good horse feed, and gum used to change Shen Yi's appearance, all of which cost more than ten taels of silver.
Until the end, she stopped in front of a pillar about ten meters away from a medicine house, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she looked at the entrance of the medicine house.
Although the local families began to migrate because there were no alchemists, this was their foundation after all, and those families were just temporarily going to other places to survive, and they did not completely abandon Huaiying City, so they still kept some properties here.
And two months ago, the battle between the Xuanjie powerhouses caused serious damage to Huaiying City, many people were homeless, wandering the streets all day long, resulting in poor local security, and those families in order to protect their property will not be affected, naturally it is indispensable to send the door to the town.
Although Tsurumi Hatsukumo didn't look from the main entrance, he could vaguely see several family doormen guarding inside and outside the medicine house from the crowd.
In this case, if she swaggered into the medicine house to buy alchemy materials, she would be blind if she wasn't targeted.
You must know that Huaiying City is now in urgent need of an alchemist, and if she is suspected of being an alchemist, then the family behind the medicine house will probably find her out.
She wasn't stupid, of course she knew this, so after leaning against the pillar for a while, she decisively chose to go back to the inn.
However, she didn't give up, she didn't delay for a moment when she arrived at the inn, she took out the pen and ink and wrote, for her, there are four kinds of pills she needs now, Pei Yuan Dan, high-quality Pei Yuan Dan, Qi Refining Dan, and Qi Gathering Dan.
And Shen Yi just needs the Yun Beast Pill, she is ready to buy all the high-quality Yun Beast Pill, if there is no shortage of materials and materials, the next place is the ordinary Yun Beast Dan.
Her books are not in vain these days, and she wants to divide all these alchemy materials into various prescriptions that seem relatively normal, so as to avoid being suspected as much as possible.
It's just that among them, Ji Lingyu, who refines the Yun Beast Pill, Dingshanglu, and the Vermilion Bone Lotus Seed that refines Pei Yuan Dan, can't find a corresponding prescription, but these don't matter, it's a big deal to take a risk to buy it
Also, she wants to use the money to hire a few beggars or passers-by to help buy it, like in Ju'a City, of course, it is very troublesome to do so, although she has to buy not a lot of alchemy materials, and the materials of the Guangyun Beast Pill are only ten parts, if you can divide it into a prescription to buy, the amount will be too large, and she also spends money to hire people to hide their heads and tails, which looks very unreasonable.
Therefore, the beggars or passers-by who are hired by her are the easiest to suspect the existence of her as an alchemist, even if they will not suspect that she is an alchemist, but a criminal of the imperial court, which is enough for her to be uncomfortable
In addition, she has to ensure that the people she hires are honest enough and will not run away with money.
This is obviously difficult, and she wants to make sure that she doesn't run into any trouble, and naturally the sooner she finishes it, the better, and the longer it drags on, the easier it is to be suspicious.
And when she broke through to the net level, she didn't have a few more pairs of eyes, and she couldn't see it at all if she hired a dozen people at a time, so it was inevitable to spend more money.
She could only comfort herself that the extra medicinal herbs she bought might be able to be used in the future.
As for why do you have to buy alchemy materials in Huaiying City?
This is also no way, the next thing they are going to Jizhou City is not an ordinary city, because of the special geographical location, next to the famous Bailan River, from ancient to modern times to Jizhou City has close trade with Dajing Fengzhou, making it extremely economically developed, is one of the few big cities, if the city of this world is also divided into one line and two lines, then Jizhou City is a super first-tier city.
When there was no war, there was a Xuanjie Venerable stationed in the city, and now in the war era, the Daliang royal family has sent three Xuanjie Venerables to garrison, and she and Wu Gong and others have special identities, and it is dangerous to stay in the city for a little longer, Wu Gong said earlier that they will not enter the city, they will contact his old friend directly outside the city, and then take a merchant ship into Dajingfeng Prefecture.
Out of Huaiying City, she would not have the opportunity to buy any alchemy materials again, and she had to get everything done here.
In a short time, she wrote down all the prescriptions in her mind, and counted them into more than a dozen sheets.
After doing all this, Tsurumi Hatsumo breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't rest too much, and after putting away the pages full of prescriptions, she went out to look for a target.
It didn't take long for her to see two beggars curled up under the bridge, ready to pass, but the next second the road in front of her was blocked.
"Who?"
She subconsciously became vigilant, looked up, and found that it was Wu Gonghou who had changed her face, and her expression relaxed.
"It's you, Old Wu."
"Little girl, I finally found you, what are you doing here?"
Tsuru saw Chuyun glanced at it, and did not answer immediately, but saw several people following behind Wu Gong, all of them with red faces, still holding toothpicks in their mouths, and looking bohemian.
"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to buy something, what about you?"
"We?"
"We've filled our stomachs, we've played what we should have played, and we're about to go out of the city, and when we saw that you hadn't come, we came to you."
"Oh...... You wait for me for a while, I still have something to do, and I may come back later. โ
"Huh?" Wu Gong and the others looked puzzled: "What does it cost so much to buy?" โ
"Uh......" Tsurumi Hatsuyun didn't know how to answer them for a while, he couldn't really say that he was an alchemist and wanted to buy alchemy...... Huh? Seems like it's really okay?
Her eyes lit up, maybe she didn't have to hire those beggars and passers-by, wouldn't there be ready-made helpers who didn't need money? It's still the kind that can be trusted.
Speaking of which, Wu Gong, the felony that Da Liang wants to arrest, is himself in a hostile relationship with Na Cha Yingsi, and he has offended so many families, even if he surrenders in the end, he will not end well, and he will tell him the identity of the alchemist, and it is absolutely impossible for him to report himself to the Da Liang Dynasty.
As for later?
In the future, she will be out of the beam, if it is possible that she will not come back before she has not cultivated to the Xuan Rank, at that time he said that it would be okay to go out, if she was forced to be cornered, she could also join the Jiyuan Division of other countries to fight poison with poison.
"What's the matter, girl, I mean."
"Now that no one knows us in this place, what can't we do?"
Listening to everyone's urging, Tsurumi Hatsumo took a deep breath and finally spoke: "I have encountered some difficulties...... Come here for you, you should know after reading it" As she spoke, she handed out the paper full of prescriptions to a few people, Wu Gong took two of them and looked down at them, he was literate, but he didn't know many words, and he was in a trance when he saw it densely packed on it, as if countless ants were crawling, except for recognizing a few scattered words at a glance, he didn't understand the others at all.
"What is this?"
"I don't understand."
"Jade ...... Powder? โ
"And this, isn't it A?"
"Boss, what do you read with this word?"
"What do you ask me to do? This character is written as if it was written by the teacher when I was a child, I can't read it, and I feel dizzy. โ
Wu Gong impatiently pushed Duan Huai aside, put down the paper in his hand, and looked at Tsurumi Chuyun suspiciously: "What do you mean by this?" โ
Tsurumi Hatsukumo explained: "There are some medicinal herbs on it, and some of them are used for alchemy. โ
"Alchemy? I said, how can you see the vermilion bone lotus seed, no, you are not an alchemist, how can you do alchemy? โ
"I'm an alchemist......"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
โโฆโฆโ
"What can an alchemist do, it's not that he can't refine...... Cinnabar? Ha? โ
"I am indeed an alchemist, these days I have run out of pills, so I want to buy some materials to refine on the road, but you also know that now the Daliang royal family is looking for me everywhere, if I venture to buy materials in the medicine house, it will inevitably be troublesome, so this is ......"
Tsurumi Hatsuun continued to explain, but the people in front of him were completely stunned, all of them looked at her blankly, they only heard clearly what Tsurumi Hatsuun said at the beginning, "I am an alchemist" and they didn't listen to any of the rest of the words.
After she finished speaking, he frowned and stretched out his hand to wave it in front of Wu Gong's eyes, and then he came back to his senses.
"You're an alchemist?"
"I am ......"
"Wouldn't it? How can you be an alchemist? โ
"Little girl, don't fool us, clean up these ridiculous things, and return the alchemist."
"I don't believe it anyway."
Tsurumi Chuyun was speechless or speechless on his face, there was no way, alchemists are like this, the number is scarce and mysterious, except for a small number of people with status, even if others live in a city for the rest of their lives, they may not know who the alchemists in the city are until they die, and only those who can appear in people's field of vision are those who are powerful alchemists.
"Okay, can you help me?"
"Help what?"
Seeing that Chuyun was helpless, he could only explain again, this time Wu Gong and the others understood what she meant, and the eyes that looked at her became strange.
"You...... What an alchemist. โ
"I am! Alchemist! โ
"You didn't lie to us?"
"Nope."
"Do you really know how to do alchemy?"
โโฆโฆโ
"Boss, I still don't believe it."
"What then?"
"I've heard that people will comprehend the Danhuo after becoming an alchemist, little girl, if you are alchemy, let us see your Danhuo, if you want to have Danhuo, we will do it."
Seeing Chu Yun Bai talking Wang Zhongzhu, Crane immediately spread out his hand, under the eyes of everyone, a red flame suddenly appeared in her palm, the texture of the Dan fire was as smooth as silk, beating slowly, and at a glance, it was obviously different from ordinary flames.
"It's really a Danhuo!"
"Thief Girl*......"
"Give me a smaller voice!"
