Chapter 55: Monsters are greedy for money and sell demon skins
The middle-aged woman was full of apprehension, seeing that Chen Jingzhi had a very strong smile on her face, not like she was not good at talking, she was a little bolder, and continued, "Engong must be careful, there is also a civet spirit near here, with extremely high mana, even the weasel couple are also very scruples." The civet spirit lives in the black rock cave, more than 30 miles away from here, and often catches the livestock and poultry of the villagers on weekdays, and often harms the nearby villagers, which is really miserable. ”
Chen Jingzhi smiled and said, "Don't waste your efforts in vain, you little demon, I'm not here to get rid of the demon guard, it's just that the weasel offended me, so I ended up dead without a corpse." The civet spirit is your nemesis, not mine, and if you want me to get rid of the civet spirit for you, you're looking for the wrong person. ”
The middle-aged woman's face suddenly stiffened when she was told that she was in her heart, especially Chen Jingzhi's sneer, she hurriedly said, "The little demon doesn't dare, the little demon is also kind." ”
"Eun Gong, the weasel's cave is right ahead. The middle-aged woman didn't dare to say more, she didn't expect this young man to be so cold.
Chen Jingzhi pointed in the direction she pointed, a half-human-high cave under a huge pine tree, which looked dark and not slippery, and before it approached, a fishy smell wafted out.
Chen Jingzhi looked up, looked around again, nodded and smiled, "It's not bad here, but it's a pity that after a hundred years of cultivation and spiritual wisdom, it's still a wilderness that doesn't know how to educate." ”
The middle-aged woman's face was blushing, and if these goblins and ghosts like them were not to be told the truth, they would definitely be barbaric and rude.
"What Engong wants to take, the little demon takes it all out for Engong. ”
Chen Jingzhi said, "Then you can go, take out everything that is useful or useless." ”
The middle-aged woman's face was happy, and then turned into a demonic wind, and after a while, hundreds of weasels poured out and fled in panic. After a few more moments, the demon wind swept out a lot of debris, as well as some animal and human bones, all of which had a fishy smell of urine. After another moment, Chen Jingzhi saw a bag of silver coins, also fifty or sixty taels, and a few herbs that were older than others, although they were not in the grade, they were quite rare.
When he was young, he saw a jade pendant, glowing with a red divine light. I took it with my hand, and I felt that there was a divine breath. If it's a country goblin, you shouldn't actually get something from the gods. Then there was another sheepskin, the text on it had been a little discolored, it should have been copied by hand, and after he read it, he knew that the method practiced by the two weasels was a long-standing art of praying for sealing and borrowing luck.
This can only be regarded as a spell, not a Dao method. When the goblin is practicing, he adheres to the belief that when he is about to become a human, he finds a person with good luck and prays to him, and if the person who prays approves of it, then the youkai who practice this spell can deprive him of his luck and turn it into his own use.
If the luck of the person who is praying is monstrous, it is not too harmful, at most it will be ruined, but on the contrary, the luck is ordinary, then it will be taken away by all the monsters, and the bad luck will continue in the future, and there will be death.
If the person being prayed for does not approve of it, it will definitely ruin the cultivation of the monster, and the monster will definitely fight with him endlessly, especially this kind of country goblin, which is extremely wild and difficult to get rid of.
"This weasel is really lucky, he actually met Yang Tingqing, but it was also fateful, where is Yang Tingqing's luck so easy to borrow?"
After the middle-aged woman came out, she trembled and said, "Engong, everything is here." ”
Chen Jingzhi nodded and asked, "Has anyone been here recently?" or is there something strange about these two weasels?"
The middle-aged woman shook her head, "They have been here for more than ten years, and I don't dare to come and check." ”
Chen Jingzhi realized, threw a pill over, and said, "I accept your affection, this is for you." After saying that, he sprinkled away.
The middle-aged woman's face was depressed, and she was a little hesitant to hold this elixir, but a clear fragrance came in through her nose, making her feel comfortable, and she couldn't help but swallow it. After a while, she felt that her mana had increased, and she had not moved her acupuncture points for a long time, and there were signs of loosening, and she was immediately overjoyed.
Chen Jingzhi appeared in front of everyone again, and many people didn't dare to approach at this time, but they didn't expect to offend such a powerful character.
"Brother Xu, help us intercede. A proprietor couldn't help but push Steward Xu, and said with a wry smile, "We didn't mean it just now, we were all confused by monsters." ”
"yes, yes, that monster is so powerful, we can't help it. ”
Steward Xu smiled, "It's serious, where do I have any face." At this time, Xu Da called him, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go and see what my eldest brother has to say, I see that Chen Gongzi is not a stingy person, maybe he doesn't take it to heart." He smiled and walked away.
The proprietors looked at each other, and one of them whispered, "What's the spirit? If you offend the monster, don't think about going down this road in the future." ”
Xu Da had already stripped off the fur of the two weasels, leaving two bloody corpses on the ground.
"Big brother, what's the matter? ”
"It's nothing, just a warning not to get too close to these untrustworthy people. Xu Da wrapped two pieces of leather cloth and threw them on the car, and said, "If you don't have a mind, how can a monster be bewitched?"
Steward Xu smiled bitterly, they are in business, where can they do anything, but he still smiled and said, "Big brother is right, why don't I ask Chen Gongzi if he is injured." ”
Seeing Xu Da nodding, he ran to Chen Jingzhi's side and smiled diligently, "Chen Gongzi is really capable, you don't know that this monster has been here for more than ten years." This monster is also extremely weird.,I used to meet a monster or something to offer some melons and fruits to pass for us.,Only this pheasant ridge doesn't leave the money to buy the road.。 ”
Steward Xu kept talking, "Chen Gongzi has done a good thing to the merchants we pass by." ”
"Monsters have been rampant for so many years, and no one in the Dao Palace of Pingchuan County has come out to get rid of demons?" Yang Tingqing snorted coldly, "The corpse is vegetarian, what does the Great Song Kingdom do with them." ”
Steward Xu smiled, he would never dare to criticize the government and the Dao Palace, so he had to laugh and say, "This monster just wants some money." ”
"I didn't expect this to be a monster who is only greedy for money, haha, for more than ten years, there should be a lot of savings. Chen Jingzhi smiled intentionally or unintentionally.
"But no, the merchants who come and go every month don't say fifty or sixty times, if you are in the county town, isn't you a big landlord?" Steward Xu also laughed, "The money we make is not as good as the monster in this section." ”
Chen Jingzhi smiled and said secretly, "This weasel demon doesn't know etiquette at all, what can he do with the money?" He already had a little guess in his heart, but it was not easy to communicate with the person in front of him.
Half an hour later, Xu Da came over and said angrily, "I have already packed up the two skins of Chen Gongzi, and I will go to Pingchuan County tomorrow to find a craftsman, I can make a coat, it must be good to keep out the cold." ”
"Yes, yes, such a good skin is rare to see, even the immortals of the Dao Palace probably like it, if Chen Gongzi sells it, he will definitely be able to exchange it for fifty or sixty taels of silver. ”
Chen Jingzhi nodded in thanks, and chatted for a while, everyone went to sleep, and Chen Jingzhi sat aside and practiced quietly.
The next day, the sky was just bright, everyone couldn't wait to pack up their things, many people came forward to curry favor with Chen Jingzhi, and sent a lot of dried fruit cakes, although Chen Jingzhi's face was not cold, but it could not stop their enthusiasm. A ruthless man who can kill monsters and capture monsters, and he looks much kinder than the immortals of the Dao Palace.
The group smoothly entered Pingchuan County, and several caravans inquired about Chen Jingzhi's residence.
Xu Da said, "Chen Gongzi, you may not be familiar with Pingchuan County, I'll take you around, if you don't worry about me, I'll help you find someone to make those two skins." Nitrate leather can't be done in a short time, and it may be too late if you go to catch the exam. ”
Xu Da is not good at words, although he is the owner, but everything is done by Xu Steward.
Chen Jing said, "Just sell the two monster skins, and it's useless to keep them." ”
Yang Tingqing had no objections, and was even a little ashamed, causing the caravan to suffer a lot of losses. But he won't regret it, how can the demons and monsters easily compromise with them, everyone should be punished.
Xu Da was familiar with Pingchuan County, and took Chen Jingzhi and the two to the largest commercial building in Pingchuan County. This commercial building is also the property of the Daogong in Pingchuan County, and Xu Da thinks that the skin of the monster will definitely be sold for a good price here. Upstairs there come and go, very lively, there are a lot of gods and magic weapons for sale, but the price is high, not ordinary people can afford to buy.
There are a lot of people in the store, and the handymen here will not take the initiative to greet them, especially when they see that the three of them are not luxuriously dressed, especially the clothes worn by Xu Da smell of sweat, and they are carrying a linen package that exudes a stench.
Xu Dalai didn't count many times this time, but he was very bold, and stepped forward and shouted at a shopkeeper, "Do you collect skins here?"
The shopkeeper was taken aback, glared and covered his nose and said unhappily, "Why are you so loud? ”
"Take it out and let me slap it. After speaking, he snorted a few more times, and seeing that Xu Da didn't move, he hurriedly covered his nose and went to the second floor.
Chen Jingzhi took a step forward and said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'm going to blind your eyes with two skins here." ”
"What skins have we seen?" shouted the shopkeeper, "I've touched many tiger skins." His shouting attracted the attention of several people around him, and the shopkeeper was suddenly full of pride, "We are doing business here, don't make trouble here with us." ”
"A few fools, don't you look at what kind of place this is, I really think it's a grocery store. ”
"I think it's just a bun with no knowledge, don't pay attention to them. ”
Chen Jingzhi listened to those people's discussions, but he didn't care, grabbed the shopkeeper who was leaving, and laughed, "The dog's eyes look at the things that are low, what kind of tiger skin is it, where there are my two skins precious." ”
