Chapter 273: Inquire about the news
Chamuhe was going to buy items and let the others go in directly.
This shop that does spirit beast business is not small, much larger than the one they have visited before, and there are hundreds of rare birds and beasts in it.
Several disciples of Zhaoyao Peak were most interested in this, the Vientiane Sect was just a sect, although the knowledge they had learned was rich, but after all, many types did not have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes, now they naturally had to take a closer look, and Chi Ri Du and Chi Tianhan of the Black Sand Sect were enthusiastic to explain to them on the side.
The spirit beasts sold here are not at the level of a big demon, and openly buying and selling high-level spirit beasts will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the demon beast power, but the guy told them that if they are interested, they can discuss privately.
Hua Lanting and the other people were not as interested as the disciples of Zhaoyao Peak, and the smell of beasts here was very strong, and after turning around, everyone gathered on the side of the entrance.
While waiting, Zhuge Yun found that there were still a few cages in the dark corner on one side, and when he walked in, there were some ragged people locked up.
I called a steward, and the steward said that these were the Menmu people, one of the ancient native races in the Demon Plain.
The Menmu clan has no other strengths, that is, they are naturally good at communicating with spirit beasts and understand a variety of beast languages, so they are often bought by customers who buy spirit beasts. Over the years, the weak Menmu clan has become weaker and weaker, and the remaining clansmen have scattered and fled, and it is not easy to buy them now.
While they were talking, a thin young man of the Menmu clan approached, the young man was small and large, and his dark eyes flickered, but there was a look of fear and dodging inside, and the terrible thing was that the lute bone on his shoulder was pierced by an iron chain, and he walked with a rattle.
Xu is a young man's big head and thin body are alive and well, and he is a miniature version of Zhuge Yun, Zhuge Yun suddenly rose up with pity and couldn't bear it, and decided to buy this young man.
Hua Lanting has become wealthy since collecting spiritual energy in the secret realm and compressing it into a large number of spirit stones, seeing this scene, after asking the price, he directly threw out a large piece of fine spirit stones.
After the steward only glanced at it, he immediately became dazzled and smiled: "This master, it's enough, I'll find you money." ”
Hua Lanting said: "No need, I will reward you for the extra ones." Please give this child a chain, apply medicine to the wound, wash it again, and change into clean clothes. ”
The steward replied: "Don't worry, it's all in my hands." Your brother has a really good eye, this child's name is Mu Qian, it is said that he is a descendant of the former Menmu royal family, and he is the most proficient in beast language, and this price is definitely cost-effective. ”
When Luo Siyu and the others came out, the group went to the gladiatorial arena diagonally opposite.
The gladiatorial arena is a place of entertainment for watching and betting on bets, either by monks or spirit animals.
There are not only professional gladiator monks, but also prisoners of war and tribal slaves who participate, and those who have a grudge against each other or who have quarrels in the Tanhua Xiaozhu can also choose to make a break here, and occasionally, there are also monks with itchy skills to compete.
Whatever the case may be, the audience will be able to place their bets. Winners in a row of three games in a row will have a grand prize, and the winner of the day will have a big prize. In addition, whether the gladiatorial fight is life or death, the mortality rate is extremely high.
The gladiatorial arena is called Tanhua Building, it is the largest in Tanhua Xiaozhu, although the door face is small, but the inside is very wide, in addition to a huge main ground, there are several small venues.
As soon as it opened, the venue was already crowded, and everyone finally found a seat in the corner of the height.
The first few games were warm-up mat races, and the atmosphere was not very enthusiastic.
At this time, Cha Muhe came back and screamed Hua Lanting and Lin Xian out, and he wanted to take the two of them to find out the news.
A short distance inward, there was a tall and thick stone wall, which explained the intention to the guard, and the three of them entered the stone gate.
The wide stone door closes, isolating the noisy sound outside, and the environment is suddenly quiet, and there is a cave inside.
Facing is a big lake, although the weather is cold, there are spiritual plants planted on the lake, lotus leaves spread, pale pink lotus flowers are in full bloom, which is pleasing to the eye.
There are five pavilions on the lake, four small and one large, and the largest one in the middle has a plaque on it, which reads "Tanhua Xiaozhu".
It turns out that this is the reason for the name of this place.
Cha Muhe has already explained, this is where the news of buying and selling is, it has existed for a long time, no one knows who the real backstage of Tanhua Xiaozhu is, only that the major forces on the Demon Plains are involved, and they can fight any way outside, and no one dares to make trouble in the area of Tanhua Xiaozhu.
There was a winding stone bridge on the shore that connected the five pavilions in the lake, and Chamuhe led the two to one of the small pavilions.
After entering, there was an old man sitting inside, dressed in a red robe, with fairy wind and bones, and his face was full of red light.
Cha Muhe didn't speak, but handed over a bag full of spirit stones.
This is the rule of Tanhua Xiaozhu: pay the money first, then ask for the news, and there will be no refund.
If you are satisfied with the message, you will clear it, and if Tanhua Xiaozhu can't give an answer immediately, it will reply within the time limit. If you are not satisfied with the result, you will not return the spirit stone, but will give a certain discount when you ask for it next time.
This can be regarded as a domineering business, the rules have always been like this, and no one has ever dared to challenge it.
The old man accepted the spirit stone, and when he heard Cha Muhe ask where the Danhuang Baotai grass was, his brows furrowed, and he took out a few pieces from the pile of jade slips under the table, and after the spiritual sense swept it, he said: "I haven't heard from this grass for a long time, and you can be willing to give me some time, and I will contact other branches to inquire." ”
Chamukh said that he was in a hurry, and it was better to know immediately.
The old man looked at him and groaned slightly: "I have no authority here, for the sake of your face as a regular guest of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, it happens that Li Fashi, the head of this place, is here today, if you are willing to pay another fee, I can make an exception and ask him to let you meet." However, there is no guarantee that there is no definite information. ”
Cha Muhe looked at Hua Lan Ting, Hua Lan Ting nodded, and took out a bag of spirit stones, more than just now.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, and after the transmission, let the three of them go to the big pavilion in the middle of the lake.
In the small pavilion of Tanhua, surrounded by different fragrances, a bead curtain screen in the middle, the breeze blows, jingling lightly, the screen should have the effect of blocking the line of sight, and the situation inside can not be seen clearly through the gap, and the three of them can only vaguely distinguish that the figure sitting behind them is very short.
The voice inside couldn't tell the difference between men and women, and said: "The last news about Danhuang Baotai grass was more than a hundred years ago. This grass is male and female, grows slowly, and mostly is a single plant, and it withers soon after maturity, and I can tell you the location, whether you can find it or not, you have to try your luck. ”
Lin Xian was disappointed, but it was better to have news than no news.
After saying the location, the voice paused, and then said, "Seeing that you are very sincere, I will send another message for free." If you want to find Danhuang Grass, you must treat the wounds of the soul, and there is another kind of alien beast lung in the Demon Plain, which has a better effect. This beast is dangerous, whether you go or not, you decide. ”
Lin Xian was shocked, of course they couldn't ask for it.
The three of them went out of Tanhua Xiaozhu and returned to the gladiatorial arena, where they saw Zhuge Yun waiting for them outside the arena, saying that they had found an acquaintance and needed Hua Lanting to recognize him.
Hua Lanting wondered how there could be old acquaintances here, and when he arrived at the seat, he looked in the direction of Zhuge Yun's finger, and really knew that it was the disciple of the Beiyue Immortal Sect who had crossed paths in the Wulan Mountain, Qu Liuyan.
I haven't seen him for many years, Qu Liuyan has lost a lot of weight, and there is a shocking scar on his cheek and neck, and he is holding Izumo Halberd in a circle at this moment and closing his eyes to recuperate, he is actually in the field!
Zhuge Yun said that Qu Liuyan had already played once, won the victory, and was waiting for the second one.
When he met his old friend in another country, Hua Lanting hurriedly went down, and after Qu Liuyan came out, he was also surprised to see Hua Lanting and others, but he took advantage of the break to briefly talk about the experience, but it was embarrassing.
It turned out that after Qu Liuyan returned to the Beiyue Immortal Sect, he obtained a lot of spirit stones and some of the Fog Lock Yunlan Gong techniques in Wulan Mountain, which was valued by the sect and regarded as a descendant of the lineage.
It should have been a time of raising eyebrows and high spirits, but unfortunately encountered a sect war in the north of Xianzhou, although the Beiyue Immortal Sect was strong, it was attacked by several sects, and finally the mountain gate was captured, the sect was destroyed, and the survivors were scattered.
Qu Liuyan and Elder Fang Qingzhan escaped, Fang Qingzhan was seriously injured and difficult to recover, his cultivation was not as good as him, the two faced the pursuit of the enemy, so they had to flee into the Taichu Demon Plain, Qu Liuyan wanted to hone and improve here, and after his strength increased, he would find an opportunity to recover the Beiyue Immortal Sect.
The two of them were weak and weak, and they suffered a lot and were bullied in Moyuan, but Qu Liuyan was bent on revenge and survived with humiliation.
After falling to Tanhua Xiaozhu, Qu Liuyan found an elixir that could heal Fang Qingzhan's old wounds in a shop, he couldn't afford it in his pocket, and the shopkeeper pretended to be a strange thing, and said that later, he was willing to give it away until he had to exchange another treasure, and that treasure was listed in the list of rewards for the three consecutive winners of Tanhua Building.
Qu Liuyan and Fang Qingzhan, who always took care of him when he was frustrated, had a deep relationship, and in desperation, Fang Qingzhan stayed in the store to prevent the pill from being bought, and Qu Liuzhen signed up for the gladiatorial fight.
After hearing this, Hua Lanting offered to help him buy pills, without risking his life, Qu Liuyan refused, since he had already fought a battle, he insisted on winning with his own ability.
Qu Liuyan used to have a weak temperament, but after these things, he has become strong, saying that this is also part of his own training, he can't always rely on others, and if he fails, it's not too late to ask for help.
Speaking of which, the opening gong sounded, and Hua Lanting had to let him.
In the second game, the opponent was replaced by a spirit beast, and Qu Liuyan fought hard for a long time, killing the spirit beast and winning.
Before the start of the third match, some spectators asked to watch the two-man battle. In order to please the guests, it has always been the rule that the guests with the highest bets in each game have the right to designate the gladiatorial fight within a reasonable range.
Qu Liuyan had the intention to let Fang Qing fight, but firstly, Elder Fang's old injuries had not healed, and secondly, he couldn't be notified in time, if he didn't have a companion, according to the rules, he would have to fight one against two.
Hua Lanting and Qu Liuyan did not have too deep friendship, but they met in a different place, and after Qu Liuyan fought two games in a row, his breath was chaotic and his spiritual power was empty, and the third game must be more auspicious and less auspicious, and he couldn't see death without help, so he decided to go down to help.
There is another reason: I think back then, Asangae Lao Dao once said that Qu Liuyan was diligent, and he, Yu Dali and Ping Rongce, the three of them, could pass on the mantle of Wulan, and Hua Lanting knew how to repay it, so how could he not see Qu Liuyan fall here.
Qu Liuyan could only agree.
When the two of them left the game, the careful Hua Lanting found that the cuffs of the two opponents were embroidered with the logo of the Jiuqu Serial Dock, and then looked at the stands, someone was pointing at Xi Rujian, he knew that it was bad, he and Xi Rujian were recognized by the gang of Jiuqu Serial Dock who ambushed and killed the Demon Cave Demon Cave Demon Cultivator the day before yesterday.
Jiuqu Lianwu is the enemy of the Blood Moon Black Sand Sect, and he has offended them by saving people by himself, and now he is ready to fly, and he has fought this battle first to get a reward, and then how to get rid of this trouble.
