Chapter 104: The Southern Barbarian Frontier Murder Ground
The air in the mountains is exceptionally refreshing, with a scent of wild chrysanthemums.
The trails were flooded by thorns and vegetation, and occasionally one or two chickadees, startled by the sound of a wooden cart, flew up from the grass and landed on a large maple branch.
This mountain is called Wangwu Mountain Range, there are many fierce beasts and big birds in it, even the Macang eagle shot down by the Ji family sisters can only be regarded as a medium-sized bird, I heard the Ji family sister say that she once saw a big bird with two heads, the body is more than ten meters long, and the wings are like the fan of a big windmill.
The deep mountains and dense forests are full of strange beasts, this Wangwu Mountain Range is also an ancient mountain, and the people living under the mountain are only hunting and collecting medicine at the edge of the mountain range, and they dare not enter the depths of the mountain range at all.
Even the sisters of the Ji family can't tell how big this Wangwu Mountain Range is, but they only know that every time they go into the mountains to hunt, they have to spend seven or eight days in the mountains, and they are only on the periphery of the mountain range.
"Buzz!" the wooden cart slowly forced down the narrow and steep mountain road, and on one side was a straight mountain wall, which turned into a bottomless cliff, and if you were not careful, you might fall to the bottom of the cliff and break your bones.
Feng Feiyun sat on the wooden cart full of herbs, next to him was the already hardened Macang Eagle, this eagle was really not ordinarily big, almost the entire wooden cart was occupied, Feng Feiyun could only sit in the corner, reached out and twisted a handful of semi-dried herbs next to the trouser tube, and took it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.
The grass is as long as a human finger, and the leaves are as wide as the leaves of rice, but the color of the blades of grass is blue, and there is a small blue flower between the three blades of grass.
"What kind of grass is this?" Feng Feiyun asked curiously.
The sister of the Ji family walked in the front, with a finger-thick hemp rope tied on her weak shoulders, and the other end tied to the wooden cart, she pulled the wooden cart quite hard, and a drop of fragrant sweat dripped from her forehead.
This wooden cart is not only loaded with hundreds of pounds of Macang Eagle, but also has the "sick number" of Feng Feiyun, and the combined weight is very difficult for even two big men to pull, let alone a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
If it weren't for the aura she had, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to pull this wooden cart at all.
Feng Feiyun saw it in his eyes, but it hurt in his heart, if he didn't have a trace of strength in his body, he wouldn't want to let a girl pull him to death, this kindness can only be silently remembered in his heart.
In today's world, how can you find such a kind and hard-working girl? I'm afraid it's gone!
"This is blue grass, bastard beggar, don't touch it, this grass is precious, one plant can be sold for a high price of twenty copper coins, my sister and I picked thirteen plants on the loess cliff for three days, even if you break a blade of grass, you can't afford to pay for it." Ji Xiaonu looked at her sister who was working hard to pull the wooden cart in front, and her resentment towards Feng Feiyun was even greater, a big man with hands and feet, but he couldn't even walk, he was just a waste.
She always suspected that this bastard was pretending to be sick, so lazy that she didn't even want to walk, she just wanted to torture her sister and drag him back to town.
Ji Xiaonu walked behind the wooden cart, grinning white and shining teeth from time to time, staring at Feng Feiyun, wanting to pick him up and feed the jackals in the ravine.
"It's so expensive! If I can pick a few, I'll be rich." Feng Feiyun sighed, and then put the blue takigrass back in his hand.
There are not only blue takigrass on this wooden cart, but also other medicinal herbs, all of which add up to hundreds, all of which are strangely shaped, some look like tree roots, some look like toads, some have white leaves, some have black leaves, anyway, there are so many strange things, he can't tell what medicinal herbs they are.
"This blue grass is used for healing, it can stop the blood of people's wounds in a very short time, generally such herbs are bought in the army, and the prices offered by those military doctors are very fair. ”
"This is lizard grass, which can detoxify, and there are many miasma in the mountains, and lizard grass has a great restraint effect on the toxicity of miasma. ”
"This is a delicate root, which generally grows between the crevices of the cliffs, I heard that it is a kind of medicine pill, and it is also the most expensive medicine, just such a short section, I am afraid that it will have to be sold for a hundred copper coins. ”
......
Walking over the cliff, the wooden cart stopped in a verdant wood, where the dense foliage sheltered the scorching sun in the sky, which looked quite refreshing. That sister, Ji's sister was also a little tired, sitting in the corner of the wooden cart, telling Feng Feiyun about the use of each drug.
She was still so gentle, her fingers slightly brushed the hair on her forehead, her fingers were already covered with beads of sweat, and her face was also a little red, with a hint of exhaustion.
Feng Feiyun didn't listen to what she was talking about at all, a pair of eyes stared at her, only feeling that the more she looked, the more she looked, her fingers retracted into her sleeves, pinched her sleeves, and couldn't help wiping the sweat beads on her forehead, but her hand was only half extended, but she took it back, which seemed a little inappropriate, after all, this action was a little too intimate.
This is a girl from a good family, if she really behaves too much, it will make her feel disgusted.
"Ahem, Miss Ji, with the herbs I see in this cart and this Macang Eagle, the combined price of thousands of copper coins is enough for you two sisters to use for more than half a year. Since you have so much money, why don't you buy yourself a decent shirt, even if it is a pair of embroidered silk shoes?"
The sister of the Ji family was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "We are all girls from poor families, how can we wear those beautiful clothes, even if it is a piece of jewelry, we are reluctant to buy it, as for embroidered silk shoes, they are not something that we wild girls can wear, only the daughter of the Liu family, the richest man in Qingfeng Town, can wear them." ”
Although she said this, Feng Feiyun still saw a hint of longing in her eyes, obviously she couldn't help it, what girl doesn't want to dress up beautifully?
"But how should you spend all the money you earn?" Feng Feiyun became more and more curious.
The sister of the Ji family said: "The money from hunting and medicine collection and sales, the third layer must be handed over to the head of the Sanxuanmen, the third layer must be handed over to the eldest lord of Qingfeng Town, and the third layer must be handed over to the army of the Beacon City, and the remaining layer after the most is our own income." ”
She was right-hearted, and apparently didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
It was handed over to the Sanxuanmen in order to get the protection of the immortal master in the fairy gate, and this should be handed over; it was handed over to the lord of Qingfeng Town, it was the law of the Shenjin Dynasty, and it should also be handed over; it was handed over to the army of the Beacon City, and the army could protect the peace of one side, which should also be handed over.
But in Feng Feiyun's view, this is simply living exploitation! The fruits of hard work, but to hand over all the wealth of the ninth layer, no wonder although these two sisters have gained a lot, but they are still poor, and they can't even wear a pair of decent shoes.
Feng Feiyun was a little stunned, and said, "These three Xuanmen are immortal cultivators, how can they reach out to the common people to ask for money?"
The sister of the Ji family was slightly stunned, and said, "Shouldn't we pay money to the Immortal Gate, and we can cultivate to the supreme classics of the Immortal Gate, this is already very satisfying." ”
Feng Feiyun said: "......"
These small sects are really good at doing business, and they can just throw out a few of the most rubbish remnants of immortal cultivation, and they can exchange them for the respect of these Li people, and they also take the initiative to send their own third-tier income, which is ...... What a good way to do it.
The trace of aura in the body of the sister of the Ji family should also have cultivated some kind of garbage immortal method, no wonder she is so grateful to this Sanxuanmen, but she doesn't know that even if she cultivates this kind of remnant, she will definitely not be able to break through the realm of spiritual guidance.
Isn't that misleading!
"By the way, the food and salary of the Shenwu Army are not all issued by the imperial court, why do you still have to pay them?" Feng Feiyun felt a little incredible.
"Shenhu County was originally located in the southern border of Nantaifu, connecting the three small countries of Borneo, Dashiguo, and Roman, because it is in the border area, perennial wars, bandits, demons are rampant, and traitors are in charge. ”
"The Beacon City is not actually the official city of the Shenjin Dynasty, but an ancient mercenary city, and anyone who comes to this area is either a vicious outlaw, a hateful escapee, or a murderer who has nowhere to escape from the Great Immortal Gate. If you want to survive in such a harsh environment, you must have someone to guard everything here and maintain the simplest order here, and they are the Divine Warriors of the Beacon City. ”
The Shenwu Army that Sister Ji said was naturally not the real Shenwu Army of the Shenjin Dynasty, but it was just formed by countless mercenaries.
It's just that these mountain people are grateful for their protection of this frontier wilderness, so they call them the Shenwu Army.
"Shenhu County! Beacon City!" Feng Feiyun frowned, Shenhu County is not the southernmost county of Nantaifu, this is the border of the Shenjin Dynasty, many people who can't get along in the Shenjin Dynasty and are desperate will flee here, because the regular Shenwu Army of the Shenjin Dynasty will not easily come to the border, which will cause panic to the surrounding small countries, and may even cause misunderstandings between dynasties and large-scale war.
It is precisely because of such a special geographical location that the real Shenwu Army will not chase and kill here, and it has become the most unpeaceful place in the entire Nantai Mansion, where small immortal gates, large groups of thieves, ruthless killers, and demons who kill people without blinking an eye are all gathered here.
Now in the small town and mountainous area, I can't see the chaos here, but once you get to the beacon city, if you don't have a little superb ability, it is even more difficult to survive than to ascend to the sky.
The people are fierce, the demons are in seclusion, the thieves are in charge, and it is those large mercenaries who maintain the order, who do these little people thank if they don't thank them?
"I didn't expect to have reached Shenhu County, which is tens of thousands of miles away, and even came to the legendary Nanban border killing place, whether it is good, or not, so that you can avoid Xiao Nuolan's female demon from afar, at least in a few months, this death disaster will not affect the chaotic land of the Beacon City. ”
These so-called demons and murderers in the Beacon City, Feng Feiyun is not afraid at all, no matter how awesome he is, he can beat Xiao Nuolan's female devil?
In Xiao Nuolan's hands, he can escape, even if the beacon fire is ten times more chaotic, Feng Feiyun is not afraid at all, but he still has a little expectation in his heart!
Feng Feiyun's favorite thing is to eat black and eat black, anyway, now all the forces in the entire Nantai Mansion want to kill him, and it is not a good thing to come to such a border troubled world.
