Chapter 65: The Underworld
When he was at the branch of the Luohe City Hunter Union that day, the appraiser Su Yang said that he wanted to ask Ming Fan for something.
"Please, I'm a little unsure of what my predecessors meant. ”
Su Yang touched his beard and chuckled, "The young man's thing is like this, there is a mysterious place in the west of Shangwu City, called 'Yin Road'. The reason why it is mysterious is that it is rumored to be haunted. ”
"Haunted?"
"Yes, it is said that one night many years ago, two rival gangs were fighting in that mysterious place, and the next day it was discovered that they were all scared to death, and only one escaped in a frenzy, muttering 'ghosts' in his mouth. ”
Although Ming Fan was surprised by what Su Yang said, it also aroused Ming Fan's curiosity, "There is such a thing?"
Su Yang replied: "That's why the old man took the liberty of entrusting the young man to go there to make a difference, I don't know what the young man means?"
"The matter...... It shouldn't be the responsibility of the Hunters' Union, right?" Ming Fan didn't immediately answer Su Yang's words, but asked rhetorically.
Su Yang had already expected that Ming Fan would ask this question, so he immediately said the reply that had been prepared in advance in his heart, "What Shaoxia said is very right, this matter really has nothing to do with the Hunter Union, it is completely the old man's personal request. ”
Ming Fan then asked, "I don't know if it's inconvenient for my predecessors, so let's talk about things specifically?"
"That's natural, since I have the heart to entrust Shaoxia, the ins and outs of the matter will inevitably be explained to Shaoxia. Su Yang took a deep breath and said, "Three years ago, I entrusted a dart bureau to transport an item from Xiwulin for me, but in order to save time on the road, the dart master chose to travel through the mysterious place I said, and as a result, the people and goods were left there. ”
Ming Fan nodded and said clearly, "So the seniors want me to help you bring back the items left there." ”
Su Yang chuckled when he heard this, "What the young man said is right, that's what the old man meant." ”
"Hmm..... I don't know why my predecessor entrusted me to go?" Ming Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked after a little contemplation.
"Haha, let's be honest, it's my private matter to entrust the Dart Bureau to deliver the goods, and the Hunters' Guild has no obligation to help me go to the 'Yin Road' to retrieve the item. Su Yang explained, "Ordinary people go in vain, and I don't want to move to cultivate to extraordinary masters, so Shaoxia is the only person I can entrust now." Shaoxia rest assured, after the matter is completed, I am willing to give Shaoxia an excellent quality demon beast Neidan as a reward. ”
"Excellent quality demon beast Neidan?" Ming Fan didn't expect the old man Su Yang to make a generous move.
Su Yang nodded and replied, "That's right, this demon beast Neidan is a former monk, and I was paid when I asked him to help him identify a blade, when I was still a little dissatisfied in my heart, the exercises that the old man learned were only used to help me refresh my mind, so that I could identify items more accurately, plus my qualifications were limited, even if I was given a demon beast's inner pill, I couldn't refine the demon qi inside into true spirit qi and absorb it, so I kept it until now, and now it can just be used as a reward for young heroes." ”
Ming Fan thought in his heart, "Although the 'Yin Road' mentioned by this senior is strange and mysterious, it doesn't seem to be a particularly dangerous place, and the demon beast Neidan is a reward...... It's a bit hard to refuse. ”
The reason why Ming Fan cared about the demon beast Neidan was not its quality, nor did he want to absorb the power in the Neidan to improve his skill cultivation, but that he didn't want to kill the demon beast on the grounds of obtaining the Neidan.
At present, this old man in Suyang is willing to take the demon beast Neidan as a reward, so that he does not need to kill another demon beast in order to complete the training task.
Su Yang knew that Ming Fan needed to think about it before he could give him an answer, and he was not in a hurry to urge, so he sat on the chair and drank tea with his eyes closed, waiting for Ming Fan's answer.
"Okay senior, when I'm done with the matter at hand, I'll go to the mysterious place you said, 'Yin Road', to retrieve the items for you. In the end, Ming Fan decided to agree to Su Yang's request.
"Hehe, the young man is young, and he has a chivalrous and helpful heart, which is really rare. Since Ming Fan has agreed to his request, such kind words are naturally indispensable.
"The seniors are overrated. ”
"I hope that the young man will be more careful on this trip, even if he can't find the items left there, it's okay, he still has to put his safety first. ”
Mingfan knows that this kind of polite words just need to listen, since people entrust you with things, they must hope that you can do things well, instead of giving up halfway.
"By the way, senior, I don't know what the item you left behind in the 'Yin Road' is?"
"It's a 'crystal ball.'" ”
——————————————————————————————————
For Su Yang, Ming Fan does not fully trust him in his heart.
Although at the beginning, Ming Fan didn't notice anything, and he didn't take this matter to heart because he was walking around with the second elder, but now thinking back to that day's conversation, Ming Fan found something strange.
First of all, Su Yang, as a chief appraiser, not to mention in the branch of the Hunter Union, even in the headquarters, his weight is definitely not small, after all, the ability of a chief appraiser is there, as long as he exports the Hunter Union, he will definitely send a master to go to Xiwulin to transport the goods back for him.
But why did Suyang find a dart bureau to transport goods for him?
There was only one reason, and that was that Su Yang didn't want the Hunters' Guild to find out what he had done, so even if the goods accidentally landed here, he didn't let the Hunters' Guild help him find them.
"I left it here three years ago, and I don't believe you haven't sent someone to find the crystal ball you wanted. Ming Fan muttered in his heart.
It's a pity that Ming Fan was wrong, Su Yang didn't lie to him with some words, in fact, in the past three years when the goods were lost, Su Yang really didn't entrust anyone to investigate here.
The reason is also as Su Yang himself said, if you entrust someone who has no ability to investigate, it is one thing whether they dare to come or not, even if they dare to come, the probability of successfully finding the item is very low, and if you don't make it, your life will be lost here.
It is not possible to entrust someone who has the ability.
First of all, although Su Yang has some connections, they are all made by himself with another identity, and these people are seeing the gods day by day, and it will take a long time just to find them, and he can't take a long vacation for the job of the chief appraiser of the hunter union.
Here I have to complain about Suyang and all the union employees.
The work system of the hunter union can be said to be online 24 hours a day a day, and even at night, several employees must work night shifts to be responsible for reception work in the middle of the night to prevent some special situations from occurring.
As for vacations, there are any, but you will be given a maximum of three days off, and if you want to take half a month, a month, yes, as long as someone can take your job, you can take a long vacation.
But if there is no one to take your place, then you can't stop it, or you can leave.
This is the case in Suyang, as the chief appraiser of the trade union branch, no one can do this job except him, it is not an exaggeration to say that the importance of the chief appraiser is similar to the importance of the president of the trade union branch, or even slightly higher, after all, there are many alternate candidates for the president of the branch, but there are only a few chief appraisers.
So since he came to the Hunters' Union as the chief appraiser, Su Yang has not taken a long vacation for decades.
And on that day, when Ming Fan went to the trade union to register the qualifications of the Heavenly Hunt, Su Yang felt that he could entrust Ming Fan to retrieve the treasure.
First of all, being able to kill the phantom fox that can turn into a human form, Ming Fan's strength can be seen, and the most important point is that from his age and behavior, Su Yang can see that Ming Fan is still a newcomer who has just entered the rivers and lakes, commonly known as a rookie, also called a chick.
Don't have any experience in the rivers and lakes...... There are disadvantages, but there are also advantages.
The disadvantage is that it is easy to be deceived, after all, the rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will die from the plots and attacks of people with intentions.
And the good thing is that this kind of newcomer usually has something that those veterans don't have, that is, the heart of a child who has not yet been polluted.
How many young men who had dreams and beliefs when they first entered the rivers and lakes have become unrecognizable in the ruthless and complex rivers and lakes.
It is precisely because of this pure heart that Su Yang can entrust Ming Fan to help him recover the item left in the "Yin Road" with peace of mind.
He believes that Mingfan will not see wealth.
Since there is no problem with the person who entrusted it, the only thing Su Yang is worried about is the treasure sent from Xiwulin, a crystal ball.
At the beginning, the mysterious customer asked that the crystal ball be disposed of by himself and that no one should find it.
I never thought that there was an accident, so the crystal ball was not delivered to my hand, but fortunately, the ball was left in the mysterious place "Yin Road" that is inaccessible, and to some extent, it can be regarded as disposed of.
So, Su Yang replied with a letter to the customer, and the content was also very concise, just two words,
"Lost"
Maybe the mysterious customer thought that what Su Yang wanted to express in the letter was that he had thrown the crystal ball to a place where no one could find it.
So after receiving the letter, the mystery customer still praised Suyang in his heart.
These two words, not only concisely report the results of the commission, but also prevent the possibility of leaking the news, if this letter is intercepted by others, see these two words will think that something can not be found. The seemingly simple two words actually contain infinite wisdom, and the 'half-master' is worthy of the conscience of the industry. ”
Whether you have a heart or not, the conscience of this industry, the "half-master", that is, Suyang, has finally fooled things over.
As time passed, Su Yang was also worried that the crystal ball would be exposed, and his reputation in the industry would be damaged.
Therefore, since the day he entrusted the matter to Ming Fan, Su Yang has been secretly praying in his heart,
"Ming Fan Shaoxia, you must find that crystal ball. ”
