Chapter 35: Blood Sand Mine
There was a shortage of guides in the city, Shi Sheng and the others just asked to go along, and stated that they would not lag behind, and they were willing to share the cost, but the burly man refused without any negotiation, as if he had hired a guide, and the guide had become his private property, which was too arrogant and domineering.
Shi Sheng couldn't imagine that his own people were so unkind, and he was really a little angry in his heart, so he couldn't help but say loudly: "You guys are too domineering, aren't you?"
The burly man paused, turned around and looked at Shi Sheng viciously, and said, "Boy, what are you talking about?"
"Boy, you're looking for a fight!" The burly man rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Shi Sheng, Shi Sheng's fists tightened, intending to teach this arrogant clan a good lesson, when he suddenly heard a cold female voice say: "Big Tiger, stop." ”
The burly man suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said, "Miss Xue, this kid is too arrogant, I'll clean him up without hurting his bones!"
Wang Dahu's face changed, and he lowered his head and said, "What Old He taught me is that I know my mistake. After that, he walked back to the Shi family's horse formation, and didn't dare to speak again.
A woman in white stepped forward, glanced at Shi Sheng and the others, and said slightly apologetically: "The right talent is rude, don't blame you, I'll make amends to you for him." "Say a salute.
The woman in white is dignified and beautiful, with an elegant temperament, Shi Shiran is like a fairy's dust, and has a lot of status in the Shi family. Suddenly they couldn't sit still, and they all got up and stepped forward.
Seeing this, He Lao snorted again, glared at the Shi family and horses, and said, "What are you doing? Are you still embarrassed and haven't lost enough?" Get back!" The Shi family and horses didn't dare to disobey, and they retreated one after another, and whispered to Wang Dahu: "Look at the good things you caused!" Wang Dahu was scolded and his face was flushed, but he didn't dare to reply.
Shi Sheng returned a salute to the woman in white and said, "The girl is polite." After a pause, he said, "We are also going to Bloody Sand City, I wonder if we can go with you?"
The woman in white hesitated slightly. Nodding his head, he said, "Naturally." The team is about to depart, can you leave now?" Shi Sheng said, "Yes." The woman in white said, "Then come with me." "Let's take Shi Sheng and his party back to the Shi family's horse formation.
The Shi family naturally didn't have a good eye on Shi Sheng and his party, and Shen Xun and the others were very confused. I don't know why Shi Sheng would rather be treated coldly by the Shi family. and refused to recognize his people. Only Xiao Lanyu and Yao Xiang knew Shi Sheng's thoughts, he wanted to secretly observe the character of the clansmen, after all, the Shi family was the number one family in Blood Sand City. If it was as notorious as the Luo family back then, Shi Sheng said that he would have to use some tough means to rectify the family.
The desert weather changes very quickly, Master Chang keeps urging everyone to set off, and I am afraid that I will hit the black sand storm later, this is not a joke, everyone does not dare to delay, and set off immediately.
The Shi family and horses are all cultivators of the Star Heaven Realm, and the foot distance is extremely fast, and the Crescent Moon City is only a few hundred miles away from the Blood Sand City, even if there will be a delay in the Black Sand Zone, it will not take two hours to reach the Blood Sand City.
Shi Sheng and his entourage followed behind the Shi family's horses, not close or far, Wang Dahu glanced back from time to time, his eyes were extremely unkind, he didn't know what he was muttering, and an equally burly man next to him patted Wang Dahu on the shoulder, and whispered: "Brother, don't be angry, I know that you are also kind, the things we escorted this time are too important, you are worried that kid is a spy of the Gai family, right?"
Wang Dahu glanced at his younger brother Wang Xiaohu and sighed: "Brother, you are the only one who understands me, they all think that I have nothing to do, and they don't want to think about how important the things we escort this time are, this is related to the rise and fall of our Shimen, and there is no room for mistakes!
Wang Xiaohu also sighed and said, "Brother, you're right, it's just that this time with Miss Xue and He Lao in charge, even if that kid is a spy of the Gai family, he can't afford to make any waves." Wang Dahu sighed: "I hope nothing happens." ”
The conversation between Wang Dahu and Wang Xiaohu was extremely quiet, almost whispering, and no one else could hear it, but Shi Sheng and Xiao Lanyu heard it clearly, with Shi Sheng's vigilance and Xiao Lanyu's alertness, any wind and grass within a radius of thousands of zhang could not be concealed from the ears and eyes of the two.
Xiao Lanyu and Shi Sheng glanced at each other, their hearts were sudden, no wonder Wang Dahu would be so arrogant, no wonder the Shi family would have a cold face towards them, it turned out that they were suspected of being spies, Xiao Lanyu smiled at Shi Sheng, and said in a secret voice: "Now you can rest assured, the Shi family is not as bad as you think." ”
Shi Sheng really breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was wrong to blame the clansmen, but he didn't know what the Gai family was talking about in Wang Xiaohu's mouth, it seemed to be the opponent of the Shi family, it seemed to be very powerful, and it needed Miss Xue and He Lao, who had a very high status, to be in charge in person.
In any case, even if Shi Sheng bumped into this matter, he would never sit idly by, no matter what valuable treasures the Shi family horses were escorting, Shi Sheng would protect them to arrive in Blood Sand City safely.
Xiao Lanyu guessed Shi Sheng's thoughts, and thought that since she wanted to help the Shi family's horses, she couldn't have too stiff a relationship with them, so she quickened her pace, rushed to the end of the Shi family's horse queue, and said to a blue-clothed young man: "Little brother, I'll ask you something." ”
This young man is the youngest of the Shi family, he is very clever, and is quite valued by the Shi family, this time he was specially sent to follow He Lao and Miss Xue to experience, he was also skeptical of Shi Sheng and his party, and when he saw Xiao Lanyu coming to talk, he immediately became a little more vigilant, and said: "What do you want to inquire? I'll say okay first, I don't necessarily know the way." ”
Xiao Lanyu secretly sighed in his heart, this young man was alert, but in his opinion, it still seemed too tender, and he smiled slightly at the moment, and said: "I am a foreigner, thanks to the kind reminder of the shopkeeper, I know that there is a black sand area in front of the road, I don't know what the black sand storm is?"
Xiao Lanyu is gentle, very approachable, getting along with people, often makes people feel like a spring breeze, and the young man is no exception, feeling that Xiao Lanyu doesn't seem to be a bad person, plus Xiao Lanyu asked an irrelevant question, the young man relaxed his vigilance a little, and said: "Speaking of this black sand area, there are many long legends. ”
Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly: "I would like to hear about it." The young man said: "Legend has it that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a peerless beast nine-headed dog, in the land of the Western Regions, caused a disaster, the Holy Spirit, the gods took pity on the people, and sent the gods to subdue the demons of the Taixu Ancient Dragon to the lower realm. ”
"Taixu Ancient Dragon and Nine-headed Dog Fight for hundreds of years, and finally both are defeated and killed, Taixu Ancient Dragon is buried in the Blood Sand City area, and the nine-headed dog will fall in the black sand area, legend has it that the black sand everywhere is the bones of the nine-headed dog, it is extremely hard, not afraid of fire and water, it is the master of the God Realm, and there will be life worries when encountering the black sand storm. ”
Xiao Lanyu said: "The nine-headed dog fell in the black sand area, forming a black sand storm, what kind of vision is there in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Buried Bone Blood Sand City?"
The young man smiled and said, "You can draw inferences, it's really smart, of course there are visions, and the name of this Blood Sand City comes from this." Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly and said, "What do you say?"
The young man said: "There is a sand mine in the ground of Bloody Sand City, which is rich in a kind of sand as red as blood, called 'Blood Sand', hence the name of Bloody Sand City. ”
Xiao Lanyu said: "What is the use of blood sand?" The young man said: "There are many uses, it can be used to forge swords, alchemy, cultivate longitudinal methods, and so on. ”
Xiao Lanyu couldn't help but be slightly surprised, Blood Sand could actually be used to cultivate the longitudinal method! Wouldn't that have the same effect as the Demon Energy Crystal? A mere Blood Sand City could hold such a precious vein? Xiao Lanyu groaned slightly, and said, "What are the drawbacks of the Blood Sand Cultivation Longitudinal Method?"
The young man smiled and said: "You guessed, there is a big drawback, that is, the fire is too heavy, you outsiders can't afford it, only our locals, our ancestors have lived here for generations, and we have long adapted to the geothermal fire here, you can use blood sand with confidence, but you also have to pay attention to the amount, you can't use too much every day, otherwise you will be angry and hurt your body." ”
Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly and said, "The Blood Sand Vein is so precious, it must be very fiercely contested. The young man sighed: "Isn't it? My Shimen is the leader of the Blood Sand City, and we have the majority of the blood sand veins, and the rest will be divided by other potential forces, among which the Shatuo Palace, which has the largest share of the Gai family, they are second only to my Shimen's power, for the blood sand mine, they have not fought against us, and in recent years, they have intensified, and they have fought with us many times openly and secretly. ”
Xiao Lanyu said: "Is the Shatuo Palace very powerful?" The young man nodded and said, "Very powerful!" Scratching his head as he spoke, he smiled and said, "To be honest, I thought at first that you were the spies of the Shatuo Palace, and you came to spy on our intelligence." ”
Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly: "Why don't you think like this now?" The young man touched his head and said, "What do you say?" I feel ...... You seem to be very powerful, you are very promising, right? I don't think the Gai family should be able to afford you. ”
Xiao Lanyu smiled and didn't answer, and asked instead: "What's your name?" The young man said: "My name is Shi Shouyi, Your Excellency's surname?" Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly: "No, Xiao Lanyu." ”
Shi Shouyi smiled and said: "Your surname is Xiao, in our Hurricane Yin Continent, this is the most noble surname, you shouldn't be a member of the Great Chu Empire, right?" Xiao Lanyu was noncommittal, and smiled slightly: "Thank you for answering my questions, and we'll see you later." "Say goodbye to Shi Shouyi and return to Shi Sheng,
"How is it? You heard everything, right?" Xiao Lanyu asked Shi Sheng, Shi Sheng nodded, and said, "This Shi Shouyi is a talent, and it is worth cultivating." Xiao Lanyu smiled slightly and said, "The tone in which you speak is quite similar to the young master of the Shi family." (To be continued......)
