Chapter Seventy-Four: Huanhua Wetland, Weak Wind Willow, Kangzhuang Trade Road, Blood Eight
When Hu Qian heard this, he glanced up at the squirrel-like snow-white demon beast in the cage, and hurriedly said with a dry smile: "Back to the seniors, this demon beast is indeed the five poisonous rats, in order to catch it, we have been arranging it for half a year, and several brothers have died during this time, but I didn't expect it to be obtained by the seniors." ”
"Tell me, what are the characteristics of these five poisonous rats, and what is the use of you catching them?" Fang Lin continued to ask.
Hu Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect that Fang Lin and his party would not know about the Five Poisonous Rats, but he didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly said: "The Five Poisonous Rats are a kind of solitary demon beasts, and they generally live in places where there are Five Elements Poisonous Gas, the stronger the Five Elements Poisonous Gas, the faster and more powerful it will grow and evolve, and under normal circumstances, it will not take the initiative to attack living objects, but the creature that has just been poisoned by the Five Elements Poisonous Gas is its favorite food." ”
"The demon crystal of the five poisonous rats can be used to refine medicine, but its biggest advantage is that it can be domesticated, the five poisonous rats are not afraid of any poisons, and they have a very sensitive sensitivity to the treasures of heaven and earth, and the adult five poisonous rats like to collect all kinds of treasures around and pile them up in their own caves.
Hu Qian paused when he said this, glanced at Li Mengyang and Fang Lin with complicated eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and continued: "There is a place about two thousand miles northwest of this place." The Absolute Poison Willow Forest Belt', the area is about thirty miles square, and I don't know how it was formed, which is extremely poisonous, as long as any creature enters it without three breaths, it will definitely die, there was once a predecessor of the reincarnation realm who entered it and failed to come out, but such an environment is the most suitable for the growth of some specific heaven and earth spiritual creatures, we want these five poisonous rats to go in to help us find an elixir called 'Lu Strain'. ”
After listening to Hu Qian's narration, Fang Lin and Li Mengyang's eyes lit up, what is the significance of a treasure like the Five Poisonous Rats to a warrior and the forces behind him, this is simply self-evident, ordinary demon beasts can only be domesticated once, and once this kind of treasure hunting demon beast is domesticated, its growth is directly proportional to the strength of its owner's soul and the growth of its soul, Fang Lin and Li Mengyang can't stop the excitement and excitement in their hearts.
After a while, Fang Lin suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Hu Qian with a smile: "Very good, even if the five poisonous rats are your contribution to the sect, the reward will not be less, in addition, after our mission, you can enter the inner gate of the Linghua Sect, the Purple Pole Sect or the Zhang family, become an inner disciple, and practice more advanced exercises and martial arts, well, we can also meet your request that is not excessive, do you understand?" ”
Hu Qian was overjoyed, trembling with excitement, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Disciple understands, thank you for your great kindness!" ”
"Hehe, I'm not a senior, my name is Fang Lin, in the future, we will be commensurate with senior brothers, this is the Supreme Elder of the Purple Pole Sect, Senior Uncle Li." Fang Lin smiled lightly.
"I've seen Senior Brother Fang, I've seen Uncle Li." Hu Qian immediately clasped his fists and saluted.
Li Mengyang didn't speak, just nodded slightly, and saw that the atmosphere in the hall had eased a lot, and then he snorted: "Senior Uncle Li, Senior Brother Fang, the disciple has a reluctant request, and I hope it will be fulfilled." ”
"You say, as long as it's not too much, we can promise you, and this is the reward you deserve." Fang Lin Road.
"I think that poisonous willow forest will definitely take you there, I just want a 'dew strain', if you can get this dew strain, the rest of the reward disciples would rather not, I hope Master Li will definitely succeed!" After Hu Qian finished speaking, he slammed his head on the ground again.
Seeing that he was so weird, Fang Lin and the others were aroused by their curiosity, and Li Mengyang asked, "Why do you have to expose this strain?" ”
Hu Qian's eyes were slightly dim, and said: "Jiang Xing has a sister named Jiang Lingyu, that girl is deeply loved by all our brothers, maybe because of this, but she was spoiled, eight months ago she was bold to take people to rob the people of Tianxuanling, but she was killed by others, and even she herself was chased into the Mixed Poison Valley, later, although we rescued her, but she was poisoned and unconscious, we spent a lot of money to invite a seventh-level alchemist from Dongling Mountain, The poison in her body was finally controlled, but if you want to completely get rid of the poison in her, you must use this exposed strain as the main medicine to refine a pill, so... That's why the disciples did everything possible to catch these five poisonous rats. ”
After Hu Qian finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, sighed, and muttered: "Even if you get the Lu strain, people don't dare to guarantee that they can successfully refine the elixir, once it fails... Hehe, but there's always hope, after all, she's only eighteen years old. ”
Fang Lin and Li Mengyang both laughed when they heard this, Li Mengyang said: "You kid, don't play with those fancy intestines in front of us, I like you people who value love and righteousness, we have a ninth-level alchemist here, and I will call her to help that little girl take a look, as for the pill, hehe..."
Hu Qian was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, Fang Lin waved his hand and interrupted him: "How much do you know about this Huanhua Wetland?" ”
Hu Qian said: "The Huanhua Wetland is said to be a radius of five thousand miles, but in fact it is far more than that, I know that you are going to Yuguo, from here in the past straight line distance of three thousand miles, but in fact, it is impossible to walk in a straight line, there are many large and small poisonous willow forests, and there are some powerful demon beast settlements, swamps, moats and other places, in this way, I am afraid that the journey will be tens of thousands of miles." ”
"Well, it seems that you know a lot about this Huanhua Wetland, would you like to lead the way for us?" Fang Lin asked.
"The disciple will never give up!" Hu Qian said without hesitation.
"Well, are you familiar with the three forces of Qingniuwa, Zunyang Valley, and Tianxuanling?" Fang Lin Road.
"Very familiar." Hu Qian said: "Qingniuwa is located three hundred miles north of this place, it is a flat land, and their strength is comparable to ours; Zunyang Valley is located in a valley more than 400 miles northeast of this place, its strength is slightly higher than ours, there are five Yin Yang Realm martial artists, their valley master is the Yin Yang Realm Zhiwei realm, there are nearly 3,000 disciples; And Tianxuanling is the most powerful force among us, located in the northwest of this place eight hundred miles, is a mountain range with a height of six or seven hundred zhang, their mountain master is the warrior of the Nai He Realm, and there are two deputy mountain masters of the Nai He Realm, and there are eight elders of the Yin and Yang Realm, and there are more than 5,000 disciples. ”
After listening to Hu Qian's report, Fang Lin was very satisfied, but for the sake of prudence, he still asked, "Are you sure of this information?" ”
"Absolutely no problem, even if there is a slight change in the number of disciples, but the information of their high-level is definitely correct, I guarantee it with my head!" Hu Qian said with an oath.
"Okay, you're doing a great job, come and tell me some more details." Fang Lin continued to ask Hu Qian about some details.
······
Early the next morning, Fang Lin took Hu Qian and a hundred warriors from Crouching Tiger Village, and set off towards the Zunyang Valley in the northeast.
Three hours later, in the lobby of Zunyang Valley, Li Mengyang sat on the main seat, Fang Lin stood beside him and used the method used against Hu Qian the day before, below, the four valley masters of Zunyang Valley knelt on the ground, trembling and did not dare to move, their big valley masters, relying on their Yin and Yang realm knowledge of cultivation wanted to resist, but were slapped and smashed by Li Mengyang.
"Do you understand all of this I just said?" Fang Lin shouted again.
"Understand, understand, we are willing to become the peripheral forces of the three major sects, make more meritorious contributions, and strive to enter the inner gate as soon as possible, but the predecessors are sent, we dare not disobey!" Wu Ling, the second valley master of Zunyang Valley, replied cautiously.
"If we kill your lord of the Great Valley, won't you hate us?" Fang Lin asked playfully.
"No, no, Lord Datani, he doesn't know the current affairs, he was killed by his predecessors, we will never dare to hate my predecessors, I will never dare..." Wu Ling replied without thinking about it, and after him, the other two valley masters immediately echoed him, only the three valley masters did not say anything.
Fang Lin frowned, looked at the Three Valley Lords, and said sharply: "Yong Xiuping, you don't seem to be convinced, do you have hatred for us?" ”
Hearing this, Yong Xiuping raised his head, looked directly at Fang Lin, there was no fear in his eyes, and said calmly: "After we do this business, we know that sooner or later there will be such a day, but we can't talk about hate, at this time, it's just that the situation is stronger than people, but what you said is right, but mine is not convinced." ”
"Oh? So, do you want revenge? Fang Lin asked.
"Revenge?" Yong Xiuping pursed his lips contemptuously and said, "He is not worthy of it yet!" A person who only knows how to make profits for himself, and disregard the lives of his brothers, what qualifications do I have to avenge him, if it weren't for Lao Tzu being blind and swearing that he would not betray him for the rest of his life, Lao Tzu would have left a long time ago, and now he has been killed, it's too late for me to be happy, why should I be bored to avenge him, haha~~~"
Fang Lin's eyes lit up, but his words were even more cold: "It seems that I should kill you first, lest you be dissatisfied and make some mess for me when the time comes." ”
When Wu Ling and the three of them heard this, they all looked at Yong Xiuping with a kind of pity and some schadenfreude, but Yong Xiuping laughed loudly, and said without fear: "If you die, you will die, what are you afraid of!" ”
Taking in the eyes of Wu Ling and the others, Fang Lin smiled playfully and said, "It seems that your popularity is not very good, and your brother even has some hope that you will die." ”
"Hmph, these little people deserve to be my brothers? It can be said that the brothers who are really willing to be born and die with them will not be found in this sheep valley, but those who are willing to follow me are ······." Speaking of this, Koshiki Xiuping seemed to realize something, and his originally proud face suddenly changed color, and he paused to continue speaking.
"Hehe, it seems that you still have a lot of henchmen, should I also cut them off?" Fang Lin forced.
"You... You can't die well, if you want to kill me, just kill me, why be angry with others, you... You..." Yong Xiuping scolded with a grim face.
Fang Lin smiled, took out a crimson pill and said: "This is the Ten Thousand Gu Heart Devouring Pill, if you eat it, you will die of pain for seven hundred and forty-nine days, if you eat this pill, I will let go of those brothers of yours, do you dare to eat it?" ”
With a shake of his hand, the pill flew directly towards Yong Xiuping, who took it, stared at Fang Lin angrily and shouted, "Why don't you dare, you can count when you speak?" ”
Fang Lin nodded, and received an affirmative answer, but without hesitation, he swallowed the pill into his stomach as soon as he raised his head.
When the elixir entered his abdomen, it was not the painful feeling that Fang Lin said at all, but instead turned into a stream of warm aura, rushing towards his sea of qi, dantian, and hundreds of limbs respectively, this was not a poison at all, but an elixir that could enhance the true essence of a martial artist!
Just when Yong Xiuping was stunned, Fang Lin suddenly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and do your work!" ”
Yong Xiuping's whole body was shocked, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, and immediately entered the cultivation state, but the three Wu Ling next to him looked incredulous, and they couldn't understand what was going on at all.
Three hours later, Yong Xiuping woke up from his cultivation, looked at Fang Lin, and said, "You... What exactly do you mean? ”
"Valuing righteousness and lightly living is for the true hero, my Lin admires such a person the most, and only such a person can become my friend, brother, you have this qualification, I want you to stay, help me manage this sheep valley, and become the real peripheral force of my three sects, of course, what I said about entering the inner door of my three sects is not a lie, as long as you make enough contributions." Fang Lin said solemnly.
After hesitating for a long time, he asked uncertainly, "Don't you want to use us as cannon fodder?" ”
"Hmph, our three sects only have warriors, no cannon fodder!" Fang Lin shouted.
Yong Xiuping was shocked, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll do it with you, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu is blind again, in that case, I will definitely die to thank the brothers!" ”
······
The next day, Fang Lin, Li Mengyang and his entourage took Wu Ling and five hundred warriors of the Sheep Valley on the road, appointed Yong Xiuping as the lord of the valley, reorganized the Zun Sheep Valley, and also issued a large number of rewards.
Three hours later, Qingniuwa was subdued, the process was also very simple, killing more than 100 unconvinced warriors, and the next day, he brought the second master of Qingniuwa and more than 100 warriors to embark on the journey of subduing Tianxuanling.
"Senior Brother Fang Lin, Senior Uncle Li, Tianxuanling is not as easy to deal with as the three of us, they have three mountain masters in the Nahe Realm, they can be regarded as overlords within a radius of more than a thousand miles, and they have always acted arrogantly and domineering, ruthless, and have been operating here for many years, making Tianxuanling like a forbidden place, prohibiting everywhere, killing every step, I'm afraid we will have to pay a great price if we want to take them down." Hu Qingdao, the second leader of Qingniuwa.
"Hehe, yes, it's a little similar to our Linghua faction back then, and there is a faint atmosphere of becoming a big sect, but unfortunately, they didn't choose the right place, if it was in the territory of Shangguo, maybe... Hehe. Li Haoran teased when he heard this.
"Well, since Tianxuanling can have three powerhouses in the Nai He Realm, there must be some uniqueness of him, let's not be careless, otherwise if the loss is too great, I'm afraid we will lose more than we gain." Fang Lin said in a deep voice.
"Fang Lin, do you have any good way, otherwise we should not attack this Tianxuanling, anyway, it is not the only way for us to go through." Li Mengyang frowned.
"It's useless to say anything now, for Tianxuanling, our understanding is only limited to listening to other people's descriptions, we haven't seen it with our own eyes, we can't talk about any arrangement at all, as for ignoring it, I think I'm afraid it won't work." Fang Lin Road.
"But why can't you just leave it alone?" Wen Yue'er asked first, which made Qu Shan'er choke back the words she was about to speak.
"Hehe, don't forget what they are eating, we have so much goods with us, it would be strange if they knew about it, maybe they have already begun to set up traps against us; Secondly, even if they don't deal with us this time, but in the surrounding area, as long as there is such a force as them, it is an absolute unstable factor, the reason why we want to subdue Crouching Tiger Village, Qingniuwa, Zunyang Valley and some other forces along the way, the main purpose is to pave a Kangzhuang trade road that can cross the Huanhua Wetland for us in the future, so we must take this Tianxuanling! Fang Lin said categorically.
After listening to Fang Lin's words, everyone was shocked and moved, and they were a little unable to react for a while, and after a while, Li Mengyang slowly exhaled a breath and said with a smile: "Fang Lin, you kid really dare to think about it, young people are good, energetic, impulsive, and even more ambitious, but how do you know that we will use this road repeatedly in the future?" ”
"Hehe, uncle, the exchanges between countries are by no means a one-time transaction, the rest of the country has a variety of mineral resources that are in short supply of our business country, and we also have the things that the rest of the country urgently needs and is in short supply, which has laid the necessary foundation for the long-term trade between the two countries, second, the imperial court wants more is to establish a strategic cooperative relationship with the rest of the country, but because of the barrier of the Huanhua wetland, it has not been realized, this time let us go to the rest of the country to trade, in fact, there is a deeper purpose, Third, if our trade route is really opened, the number of businessmen traveling between the two countries will be innumerable, and even if we only charge some tolls, the annual income will probably be an extremely large number. Fang Lin looked at Li Mengyang and said with a smile.
Li Mengyang groaned when he heard this, but at this time, Li Haoran said with a straight face: "Then if we open up such a trade route, it will be of great significance to the future?" ”
"Of course, the most important thing is that this trade route will be in our hands, who will be released in the future, how to put it will be up to us, and there are a lot of resources in this Huanhua wetland, and there are treasures that we don't have in China at all, so no matter what aspect it is, we must also have a place in this Huanhua wetland!" Fang Lin said firmly.
After listening to Fang Lin's explanation, everyone's hearts were on fire, and the previous hesitation also disappeared, including those elders of the Purple Pole Sect and the Zhang family, the eyes that looked at Fang Lin showed a little more respect - respect from the bottom of their hearts, and Hu Qian, Wu Ling, and Hu Qing were even more impressed by Fang Lin, and secretly decided that they would firmly follow behind Fang Lin no matter what.
Li Mengyang chuckled and said, "Fang Lin, you kid can see far, but I'm worried that the strength of the three of us may not be enough." ”
"Well, that's true, if you want to occupy such a vast territory, the strength of the three of us is definitely not enough, and the Five Dragons Hall and the Kui Xing Sect can't help us, but for such a trade route, I think the imperial court will definitely be very interested, maybe even the government of the Yu Kingdom will be very interested." Fang Lin said confidently.
Li Mengyang's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Fang Lin, what do you mean······ Haha, you kid really dare to think about it, but it's really a feasible way, haha. Li Mengyang smiled heartily.
······
Next to a lake three hundred miles away from Tianxuanling, there is a flat open land, there is not a single willow tree here, but just ten miles away is a lush willow forest. Fang Lin and the others led more than 5,000 people to be stationed here.
"Uncle Li, I'll wait for a few people to go to investigate the situation first at night, and it's all up to Uncle Li for the brigade to be stationed here." Fang Lin in the big tent said to Li Mengyang.
"Well, be careful yourself, don't be reckless." Li Mengyang instructed.
Fang Lin's eight people, plus Huai Ming and Zhang Fengyi, an elder of the Zhang family's Nai He Realm, took Hu Qian as a guide, and a group of eleven people set off towards Tianxuanling.
After walking for about fifty miles, the group found that there was a group of warriors in front of them thirty zhang and also headed in the direction of Tianxuanling, this team of warriors was about seventy or eighty people, the highest one was the Yin and Yang Realm to return to the void, and the lowest one was also Taiji Realm, wearing a uniform gray-brown warrior uniform, and all of them were moving forward without saying a word.
"How could the people of Suliuzhai appear here!" Hu Qian said softly in surprise.
"What kind of force is Xuliuzhai?" Fang Lin asked.
"Suliuzhai is a force more than five hundred miles west of Tianxuanling, their leader Suliuweng is a strong man in the Nai He realm, their overall strength is not weaker than Tianxuanling, but this area is the territory of Tianxuanling, how could they come here?" Hu Qian explained.
Fang Lin pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, his eyes flashed, and he made a few gestures to everyone, Huaiming and Zhang Fengyi nodded, and then their bodies flickered, and the whole person flew out in the air, silently, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Haoran, Concubine Shu, Qu Shan'er, Wen Yue'er, White Lotus, Dongfang Lei, and Da Niu quickly formed an eight-pole dragon formation with Fang Lin, and the white lotus staff added all the blessings to everyone with a few waves, and the group also quietly chased after the group in front of them, only Hu Qian was stunned in place, at a loss.
"Who are the two of you, why are you blocking my way?" The voice of the leader of the Suliu Village came from the deep drinking.
"Hmph, the people of Suliuzhai came to my Tianxuanling territory late at night to do something, if you can't answer, kill!" Huai Ming said ruthlessly.
"The cold wind of Xuliuzhai has seen the two seniors, didn't you Tianxuanling send someone to invite us to come two days ago, saying that you want to join forces to make a big deal?" Hanfeng replied humbly, but implied that everyone was on guard.
"Well, there's an invitation?" Zhang Fengyi asked.
"Yes, seniors, please take a look!" Han Feng took out a gilt invitation from the storage ring, raised his hands above the top, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Fengyi.
Just when he felt that Zhang Fengyi picked up the invitation and was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly found that his wrist was actually buckled, and then the two acupuncture points of Neiguan and Taiyuan were numb, and the power he had finally gathered dissipated instantly, and the whole person was suddenly restrained.
This sudden change made everyone in Suliuzhai stunned, but at the same time as they were stunned, Zhang Fengyi and Huaiming pressed their own momentum towards them at the same time, although these martial artists who were not low in cultivation, but still not enough to see, instantly had a sense of suffocation at the top of Mount Tai, and they couldn't even resist the mind.
Fang Lin's eight people swept out from behind them, and the large-scale legal decision released by Fang Lin was simply a murderous weapon in this situation, more than thirty people were killed under the thunder snake in an instant, Li Haoran, Qu Shan'er, Dongfang Lei, and Da Niu rushed into the crowd like tigers rushing into the flock, dozens of people fell to the ground in bursts of screams, and Concubine Shu's arrows were also mercilessly harvesting the lives of these warriors, and even Wen Yue'er did not hesitate to perform a killing move.
Seventy or eighty people died in such a short period of five breaths, they didn't even have a chance to fight back, Fang Lin slowly walked to the trembling cold wind, and asked without emotion, "How do you want to die?" ”
"Who are you, and why are you killing us?" Cold Wind asked.
Fang Lin didn't speak, he stretched out a finger and pointed at the two acupuncture points of Liangmen and Taiyi on the chest of the cold wind, the pupils of the cold wind instantly dilated, opened his mouth, and screamed silently in the sky, he felt that his lungs contracted into a small mass in an instant, this inhuman torture almost destroyed his sanity.
However, this kind of pain only lasted for five breaths, the cold wind gradually eased his breath, he gasped heavily, coughed non-stop, and Fang Lin's emotionless voice came into his ears again, "How do you want to die?" ”
"Senior, senior, please give me a good time, please." The cold wind gasped.
"Yes, answer my question, and I promise you won't have the slightest pain." Fang Lin's voice was still indifferent.
"Senior, please ask." Cold Wind said with blank eyes.
"What did Tianxuanling invite you to do?" Fang Lin asked.
"I don't know the specifics, but we know that Tianxuanling invited us to come over and join forces to make a big deal, and we guessed that it should be the caravan from the Shang Kingdom to the rest of the country, and they thought that they couldn't eat it alone, so they invited us to come." Coldwind Channel.
"In that case, how can you have enough people to come?" Fang Lin asked again.
"Of course, it's not just these people, we people just came to say hello first, and a thousand more will be here in a day." Coldwind Channel.
"Is it your village master who personally leads the team?" Fang Lin asked again.
"It should have been, but no matter how we contacted us in the past few days, the owner of the village did not reply, there was no way, and the owner of the second village had to stay in the cottage, so this time it will be our young master who will lead the team." Coldwind Channel.
"What route will you young village masters come from?" Fang Lin asked.
"I know that." Without waiting for the cold wind to speak, Hu Qian rushed to the road.
"In addition to you, who else did Tianxuanling invite?" Fang Lin gestured to Hu Qian and continued to ask.
"This is not very clear, but I think there must be Dongxia Mountain, because that Dongxia Mountain is the most powerful force in our entire Huanhua Wetland, and they have three mountain masters of the Reincarnation Realm, among which the Lord of the Great Mountain, Fang Meteorite, is said to be the cultivation of the Reincarnation Realm, and his strength is very terrifying." Coldwind Channel.
Fang Lin and his party were shocked when they heard this, if what this cold wind said was true, then Fang Lin and the others would encounter unprecedented danger this time.
······
