Chapter 227: This is the taste

"By the way, Senior Brother Li, I have already done what you said, and in the near future, there will be ordinary nobles from all walks of life gathered in the royal capital to discuss the thief's plan. ”

After a while, Li Zhen ended the communication with the monk Yuxian, and Zhou Cheng mentioned another thing.

Li Zhen said: "The notice has been put in place, Senior Brother Zhou's face is still quite wide." ”

Zhou Chengdao: "Senior Brother Li smiled, although we are outsiders, after all, we have the name of the immortal master. ”

Everyone laughed.

No matter how they are, they are also Qi Refining Realm cultivators, and they are indeed enough to surpass the nobles of some small countries and widows.

"I don't think those mortal princes have the ability to calculate us, though. After laughing, Zhou Cheng said, "Before the Blood Shark Thieves caught me, they didn't know that I was from Xuanxin Peak, so it is very likely that they came for this identity. ”

Li Zhen thoughtfully: "Is it against the Zhubu Kingdom?"

Zhou Chengdao: "Some ferocious pirates call this move a plough court to sweep the caves, concentrating on eradicating the people who oppose them in a certain place, and turning it into a paradise for thieves, who can act arbitrarily and plunder. ”

A senior brother of Xuan Xinfeng next to him also said: "The origin of pirates in the sea is complicated, and they cannot be regarded as land officials and bandits.

Senior Brother Li may not know that in some places, even bandits are in power, responsible for managing the state and Fang market transactions.

It can no longer be called a black market, but a fair sale of stolen goods. ”

No, I know!

Li Zhen remembered some failed states in his previous life, where drug lords and pirates were rampant.

"Forget it, there are thousands of things in the world, and not everything can be solved, so now we should grasp the key first. ”

When Yi Yi heard this, his expression moved slightly: "Senior Brother Li means ......"

Li Zhen said: "I mean, if you can't solve things, then solve people!"

Aren't these problems all created by those pirates, as long as there are no pirates in the foundation realm to support them!

The leeks have to be maintained for a while after cutting, and the head of the blood shark thief is not said to have it.

I don't believe it, once the ten masters died because of the people of my Xuanxin Peak, and twice because of the people of my Xuanxin Peak, if there is another time, I should always learn a lesson and dare not do it again, right?

What's more, the normal replacement of the old and the new among the pirates is often possible for more than ten decades, the sea is vast, there will always be some royal paradise, disaster-free and harmless, why can't it be Zhubu country?

This time, regardless of whether those people are in collusion with pirates or not, I will help you rectify them as a warning, and it is time to remind them that they are too deeply involved with pirates and will not end well. ”

Mu Qingsi echoed: "Since ancient times, there have only been a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days?"

Even if you are a thief, you are not crazy, you have to be our enemy all day long, most of them are still interested in getting rich, or think that you are easy to bully, so you will have unnecessary thoughts.

Although Lian Li failed to kill Lian Li this time, more masters will soon come and chase him again.

Fujun also invited other helpers to deal with Lian Li's subordinates, believing that in two or three days, there will be news of heavy casualties among the pirates here, and it is just right to use their heads to perform meritorious service. ”

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but praise: "Senior Brother Li, this is the real person with a wide range of people and great ability, so many foundation building seniors, and the masters of the Chamber of Commerce can find help." ”

"This time Lian Li is dead, he must not be arrogant!"

......

That night, Li Zhen quietly went out of his body and rushed to the pirate lair where Zhou Cheng and others had been found before.

This is his long-planned action, the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is just right for the Yin God to do things.

The reef is jagged and the waves are raging, constantly lapping under the impetus of the strong winds.

On this nameless island with a ring shaped like jade, Li Zhen stood on the top of a high stone cliff, his figure unmoved, completely unaffected.

Below it is the cave that had rushed to rescue Zhou Cheng before, and now a large number of people and horses have been dispatched, leaving only a few old, weak, sick and disabled guards.

But in the depths, there are also suffering women and captives, most of whom will be brutally murdered after being ravaged by the pirates, and then dumped into the sea to become food for fish and shrimp.

At this moment, Li Zhen found several scattered human bones under the beach here, all of which were caused by the person who threw the body not enough to fall into the water.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and flew towards the cave, already with killing intent.

This time, Li Zhen did not come empty-handed, but brought the Frost Breath Bow that he had just obtained.

This is the name of the longbow magic weapon held by Mo Lan, and it is inscribed on the bow arm, which is appropriate.

Although it has not been refined, the characteristics of this thing are extremely consistent with the water element power in Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi's bodies, and it is not a problem to exert some of their power.

Li Zhen used all kinds of incense recipes to catalyze the breath, simulating all kinds of human incense, giving birth to a strange incarnation of a monk in Tsing Yi, and went straight in with a bow on his back.

The divine sense swept over, instantly capturing several people's momentum.

Li Zhen took out the Frost Breath Bow, tightened his grip on the bowstring, and pulled it away.

Poof!

The ice arrow tore through the air, and in an instant, it sank into the target's body.

"Who?"

The alert pirate shouted in surprise when he noticed someone falling from the watchtower.

However, under the locking of Li Zhen's divine sense, his figure had nowhere to hide, and soon several ice arrows fell, killing him.

Ordinary monks use this treasure, and they also have to work hard to condense the water element and change the arrows, but driven by the power of the law given by the Dragon Soul Fruit, their hearts move at will, almost like instinct, and they exert an unexpectedly powerful power.

It's a pity that there are no monks here, and Li Zhen has no way to test its true power.

But in any case, it can be said that it is very convenient.

Li Zhen followed the taste and went deep into the thief's nest, and killed anyone he saw.

Here, those who can move freely are basically the pirates, and they don't have to worry about killing innocents indiscriminately, and Li Zhen has the ability to smell and recognize people, and can easily judge people's good and evil positions and camp tendencies.

But if there is a strong smell of blood, and the stench of rotting corpses on his body disgusts him, he will be directly put down with an arrow.

Others, though not perfect, are a little sour and rancid.

Just go by feeling.

In a short time, Li Zhen killed all the wicked people, leaving only a few coastal mortals and women who seemed to have just joined the gang and had not yet had time to do evil, or who had also been taken captive.

"Don't panic, I'm a ranger who came to save you, and I still have the ability to act, gather all the people who need rescue as soon as possible, and there will be a ship from Zhubu Country to take you back soon." ”

In the astonishment of everyone, Li Zhen appeared and made a bright appearance, and went straight to the depths of the cave to find the possessions that those pirates might have left behind.

The monks had different temperaments, different people, different circumstances, different treasures, and different practices.

Lian Li didn't bring with him the wealth he had plundered over the years, except for a few spiritual materials, everything else was lackluster.

Li Zhen didn't know if he was really so poor, or if he had consumed a lot for promotion, and he hadn't had time to replenish it, but there would be some pirate things in this cave.

It is also human nature to make a fortune easily.

The result did not disappoint Li Zhen, and he really found some treasures hidden deep in the simple magic circle.

A brief inventory shows that there are a total of 1.2 million, and there are all kinds of non-mainstream spiritual materials, about 50 pieces, neatly stacked in three large boxes.

"What are these for?" Li Zhen looked at the situation, a little confused, and summoned a pirate who had not been killed to ask.

The pirate trembled and said: "Immortal Master, this is the filial piety handed over by the owners of each ship to the ten masters, and it can be regarded as a deposit to be withheld here, but if the ships have battle damage or need public expenses, they will be withdrawn from it." ”

"I see. Li Zhen suddenly realized.

He unceremoniously opened the bag he was carrying, and packed the contents into it in one go, without even leaving a single redemption ticket.

"Hmm, what is this? Shi Mixiang?"

Suddenly, Li Zhen's eyes fell on a bag of things like rice grains, and he was slightly surprised.

"How can there be so many?"

Stone rice incense must be produced from the body of rare fish in order to have spiritual essence, and what ordinary fish produce is nothing more than a medicinal herb.

This kind of thing is not a weed on the side of the road, it is said that it grows, at least there must be a fixed number of rare fish to catch, and the number of fish can be guaranteed.

The amount of fish caught is closely related to the migration and survival of rare fish populations.

In other words, you need to control a certain fishing ground, or a market channel.

"If the pirates want to grab this kind of thing, they don't know where to grab it, and it's hard to collect so much. ”

Li Zhen suddenly realized that something was wrong, and summoned the pirates who stayed behind again: "What are these for, do you know?"

"Immortal Master, these are fish, stone and rice, I have seen a shipowner poisoned, and use this thing to grind powder and apply ......"

Li Zhen said: "Then do you know where it came from?"

"I don't know about this villain, and the villain only joined the gang three months ago. ”

"This ...... This immortal master ......" At this moment, a timid voice not far away said, "I know where this came from. ”

Li Zhen turned his head to look, but saw that it was a robbed girl, who was from a coastal fishing village.

The folk girl was a little nervous, but she still spoke clearly, and said, "Every month, a sea ship comes from the direction of Zhubu Country to supply the pirates here. ”

"Supplies?" Li Zhen looked solemn.

The folk girl trembled and said, "...... Yes, in addition to here, there is also a utility room with everything they provide, I'll take you to see it!"

Li Zhen followed, and sure enough, he found a lot of sundries without spiritual essence in the stone chamber that was dug out by another person.

Healing elixir, clothing, shoes and socks, melons, fruits and vegetables, wine and bacon......

The whole nine yards!

"In Zhubu China, there are really people colluding with pirates!" Li Zhen snorted coldly and asked, "Do you know where those people came from?"

The folk girl shook her head: "This little girl doesn't know." ”

Li Zhen asked again, "When was the last time you were supplied?"

Minnu said: "It should have been seven or eight days ago, I don't remember exactly, but it certainly won't be more than ten days, because the moon was still round at that time." ”

"Very good, thanks for the clue. Li Zhen glanced at her.

The folk girl was flattered and speechless for a while.

After letting everyone retreat, Li Zhen took a closer look.

Not surprisingly, everything in it was unpacked and properly disposed of, without any signs of family or power.

The items purchased are also common in the market, and there is nothing special about them.

But no matter how cunning the fox is, he still has to show his tail, and Li Zhen quickly confirmed the two major clues to pursue.

One is that there is still the smell of porters and pirates coming into contact with each other, and they only know how to remove the obvious signs, but they don't even think to cover up the smell.

This can be regarded as the limitation of ordinary people's thinking, they do not have such a keen sense of smell, and they have not heard or encountered much, so naturally they will not think of guarding against it.

Even if you are prepared, it will cost you, and it is impossible to cover everything.

It's not that people who do things are not careful enough, but that their abilities are limited and there are always flaws.

Li Zhen leaned down to the various debris in the stone chamber and sniffed carefully.

Ordinary people sniff and rely on their noses, but Li Zhen relies on the essence of his soul because of his extraordinary talent.

He discarded the influence of his body in his out-of-body state, and his perception became stronger and stronger.

He could clearly sense that this room was filled with all kinds of smells.

There is the smell of pirates and handymen, the smell of sweat of helpers, the sour smell of all kinds of clothes and leather, the smell of rust stained by swords, the fishy smell of fishing boats for many years, and the smell of mildew caused by the accumulation of various debris......

Under the mixture of various smells, the smoke was uncomfortable, like a poisonous miasma, but Li Zhen was still sober and deeply remembered these breaths.

Ordinary sundries, many people in contact.

Those treasures are not touched by many people.

Comparing the two, it is not difficult to conclude that there are some streams of management that have been handled.

Among the key figures, excluding Lian Li and the pirates who might have access to those things, the Qi Refining Realm pirate Pu Ye and others remained, and only the supplier remained.

Li Zhen once again took out the stone rice incense that had been in his pocket and sniffed it seriously.

"Hmm, it's the smell of hand cream......

Li Zhen frowned, eliminating irrelevant targets one by one.

His sense of smell is not all-powerful, but fortunately the treasure chest is tightly sealed, and the smell is mixed, like black and white, magnifying the contrast, and finally he has a flash of inspiration and captures something.

"That's what it smells like!

This is a moisturizing hand cream that only the aristocracy can afford, mixed with deep-sea fish oil and a variety of fragrance ingredients!

I have heard Madame Concubine mention that some of the mortal princes of Beihai are indulged in pleasure and pay great attention to taking care of their skin, so as not to let the sea breeze wrinkle.

Although this kind of hand cream is not as good as the hand incense she produces there, it can be regarded as a precious thing, and even the idle little nobles can't afford it.

In addition, the materials used are varied, and they can be tailored to each person's preferences. ”

He was like peeling off a cocoon again, continuing to trace the smell in it, gradually revealing a trace of inexplicability.

"Rose...... And this smell of sweat, a mature woman in her thirties and forties?"
