Chapter 8 The crisis is gradually rising, and the spirit beast is encountered
The huge head was lazily raised, and he looked at the emaciated man who was trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of contempt.
"Master Wu, let's talk about it. ”
"Back to the village, I also received a message from Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu two days ago, saying that they would rush back to the village within two days. It's just that... There was no trace of them until last night, and after contact, there has indeed been no news. ”
"Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu brothers are a little arrogant on weekdays, but they still listen to my words, and now they have not returned and have not heard from them within the promised time, which has never happened before. You guys... Don't you think there's something wrong?"
"The owner of the village, the last place where the two of them sent news was Lucheng, which is not far from here, and the subordinates will leave for Lucheng today to see for themselves. ”
"Wu is in charge of doing things, and I have always been relieved. Okay, let's get down to business. Summoning the big guy today, not for anything else, just for one thing, the Soul Bead!"
"Soul Beads... Soul Beads?!"
"What beads?!"
"Isn't it the legendary Demon Bead that can shock the souls of others and make people obey you!"
"But... That's just a legend!"
There were bursts of whispers in the hall of Nuoda, and everyone's belief that the soul bead that the owner of the village had just proposed was still only a long-standing legend.
Legend has it that in the far western margin, there is a deserted ancient battlefield, and in that charred and barren land, there is a black mist that cannot be dispersed all year round.
No one knows what lies behind the black fog, because no one who walked into the black fog ever came out again...
Although it was an extremely treacherous and dangerous place, the people of Yue Kingdom knew that it was also a treasure land, and it was said that in the depths of the black fog full of dead air, an evil pearl was born that could shock the souls of others.
The person who obtains this thing can control others in a small way, and the big one commands the world, and it is a very powerful and strange thing.
But this is always just a bizarre legend, and no one really cares about its origin and its authenticity.
Now, this legendary illusory thing was said by their village owner in the way of holding a whole village meeting, everyone felt very ridiculous but suffered from the village owner's obscenity and did not dare to easily speak out to question.
Among these many people, only one old man dared to ask questions, he was the Wu director of Fangcai, only to hear him ask respectfully: "Lord of the village, according to legend, the soul bead is an ethereal thing born in an illusory land, Lord of the village, what news do you know that is not known to the world?"
"Exactly!"
Saying that, the giant sat up, looked at the group of people waiting below, and continued with a solemn face: "Recently, I have been dreaming a lot, and in my dreams I will go to a dark and barren place, although there is nothing there, but I know that there is a very powerful thing calling me, and that is the Soul Bead! It is the Soul Bead that is calling me! It wants me to go and be its master!"
"This ......"
Director Wu was speechless for a while, and froze in place, and a full of whispers sounded behind him. The words of the owner of Fuhu Village made these thieves question, and Fu Qing, the inner deacon who was still trembling on the side, also snorted disdainfully.
"A dream... It's ridiculous!"
"You say, is our village owner sick?"
"Be quiet, you don't want to die!"
"I'm originally from the Western Demon Continent, and I'm all too familiar with things over there! I witnessed the beginning of the battle between the ten thousand demons, and came from that bloody place of chaos with the iron armor of the spirit dragon! In this land full of fools, I am God! How dare you question God's revelation?!"
A bang struck, with a ferocious energy, and the domineering coercion immediately shook the whole hall and all knelt on the ground involuntarily.
The people lying on the ground trembled, their eyes were full of fear, and they couldn't stop shouting: "The king is wise!
But there is one person, whose eyes reveal excitement and expectation that cannot be hidden.
"Finally, it's going to start again! I hope this time, don't let me down again..."
......
"Xiyao, let's go over there and have a look, okay? Look over there, there are a lot of people gathered. ”
"Yu'er, it's been a morning of wandering, but we're out..."
"Oh, I know, I know, how can I call this lounging?
At that time, Gu Yuer was pulling Zhang Xiyao, who looked dazed, to wander around on the streets of Lucheng. After solving Zhao Cheng and Zhao Hu, the system didn't give her any prompt information, Gu Yu'er was relaxed, and she thought about whether she should settle down in this prosperous Lucheng.
Since coming here, she has accumulated a lot of money just by completing system tasks and upgrading skills. is fully capable of supporting herself here, including the stupid Zhang Xiyao beside her.
Zhang Xiyao was a little stunned, but she regarded her as more important than her own life, and Gu Yuer felt that she was really lucky to have such a person who was sincere to her by her side.
If you want to settle here, you must first have a suitable house to live in. Today, she was pulling Zhang Xiyao out to find a place to live, but when she walked on this lively street, she was quickly disturbed by the novelties around her.
Gu Yu'er was playful, although Zhang Xiyao was also anxious to settle down with Gu Yu'er quickly, but he was reluctant to blame her too much, so he had to let her pull him and wander around on this bustling street.
Anyway, what he has on him is money, even if he and Gu Yu'er stay in the inn all the time, he will spend it.
Thinking about it, Gu Yu'er had already pulled him into the crowd she was referring to, it turned out that so many people were gathered here to watch a strange big bird.
This great bird is like an eagle and not an eagle, and like a dove and not a pigeon. The size is similar to that of a giant eagle soaring in the sky, but it has white feathers as smooth as carrier pigeons, and a gentle and agile appearance.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are three golden bright yellow feathers on the top of its head, which complement its long, pointed yellow beak, and a long soft white feather on its tail.
But this noble and sacred bird was now locked in its feet, and was pacing on the ground with some wistfulness. Behind it sat a dark-skinned, curly-haired, mustache-and-bearded vendor, who was clutching the slender silver chain that held the bird in place.
The people crowded around were talking about the peculiarity of this bird, but Gu Yu'er felt that such a unique bird should not be shackled, she wanted to buy this bird so that she could return its freedom, so she couldn't help but ask the vendor who had always been silent: "Is this bird sold?
The vendor sitting on the ground was still silent, but he lightly stretched out five fingers to Gu Yu'er, and his cold and indifferent attitude could be said to be indifferent to the business she sent to the door.
"Wu Bailiang?"
"Wu Wanliang. ”
"You're blackmailing!"
No matter how peculiar a bird is, it won't be sold to Wu Wanliang, right?! Gu Yu'er almost lost her breath.
was choked by Gu Yu'er, and the vendor still looked faint, pointed to his side again, and said, "The road is on the side, it's convenient." ”
That arrogant attitude of ignoring is as if he is a prince of the clan and not a broken trader.
Seeing that Gu Yu'er was about to blow up, he was finally stopped in time by Zhang Xiyao beside him, he shook his head slightly at her and said, "Yu'er, don't worry, let me ask." ”
Zhang Xiyao: Gu Yu'er knows that this weak scholar is usually dumbfounded, but in fact, he knows a lot, since he has the confidence to say so... Let him use his full belly of knowledge to skillfully overwhelm this abominable peddler!
Thinking of this, Gu Yu'er nodded at Zhang Xiyao with a smile, made a cheering gesture again, and silently stepped aside.
"This little brother, let me ask you, in addition to the strange appearance of this bird, there are other special features, worthy of your price Wu Wan Liang? You know, in this Yue country, Wu Wan Liang is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for several generations, you are asking for such a sky-high price, I don't think you want to do business here, right?"
Hearing this, the vendor, who had always been indifferent, finally looked at the scholar in front of him seriously for the first time.
"I'm waiting for someone who is destined. ”
"What is a destined person?"
"Someone who is related to this bird. ”
