Would you trust a stranger?

It's an interesting question.

Will you believe it?

Still won't believe it?

For this "like-minded" friend he just met, Qi Yun didn't believe it from the bottom of his heart.

After reading various legal columns and learning too much about the dark side of society, Qi Yun, as a person with high vigilance to the level of perversion, few people can gain his trust.

Even the pillow man who used to be friends with him only gained partial trust. It is impossible to fully trust in this life, and it will be the same in the next.

If you want to deceive him, even if the actor comes, it will be difficult to do it. What's more, the person who plays tricks with him can't achieve perfect expression management.

The eagerness in his eyes, the greedy eyes like a fat sheep, betrayed all the fundamental thoughts of this person.

In the martial arts of the mortal world, the chivalrous heroes are short of money to spend, and they will generally target the local wealthy, put their swords on their necks, and borrow some money to spend.

It is known as robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Qi Yun has never been short of money, and he has never done such a thing. But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand.

The monks of the immortal cultivation world have storage bags for portable things, and they will carry a lot of net worth with them, all of which are humanoid treasures.

It seems easier to "rob the rich and help the poor", as long as you have the ability to open the treasure.

According to what he has learned these days, there are rules in many places, and fighting and killing are not allowed.

The current Fang City is located.

If the rules are violated, they will be subjected to strong repression by the managers who make the rules.

Because the managers need stability here, transactions, consumption, taxes, stability can bring more benefits than chaos.

The vast majority of immortal cultivators did not dare to violate the rules.

But when you're out in the field and there's no supervision, it's a different story.

There are conventional, or unspoken rules, in the realm of cultivating immortals in the Chu Kingdom. No one will provoke a fight and kill at will.

That kind of behavior is like that of a person in the Demon Sect, not only will it be hostile to the mainstream immortal cultivators, but it will also attract the victim's relatives and friends, and the forces of the clan behind him to hunt down and kill.

To be precise, Qi Yun's actions in the Wild Wolf Gang are similar to those of the people in the Demon Sect.

not only killed other people's people, but also destroyed the gang because he couldn't get it, which directly attracted the pursuit of the sect behind him, causing him to flee thousands of miles in embarrassment, and he didn't dare to see people with his true face when he ran elsewhere.

But he did gain a lot, from not even having a magic weapon, to directly changing the shotgun to buy a top-level magic weapon, those seven people are indispensable.

As long as the benefits are large enough, there will be no shortage of people who dare to take risks.

What about being hostile, and what about being hunted down?

As long as there are windfall profits, these risks are not a problem.

Slaughtering fat sheep, haven't you thought about it when Qi Yun?

He just hasn't had time to think about it carefully, consider the risks, and find a good target.

Now, yes, before he could find a suitable fat sheep, someone had already treated him as a fat sheep.

Oh, what a stupid guy.

No, it should be said that there is really an unlucky guy who actually found him.

Thinking of this, Qi Yun sneered in his heart and looked up.

Before I knew it, I walked to the night market square, the endless stalls, and all kinds of strange costumes, immortal cultivators who came to shop for things.

The man asked him to invite a friend to hunt the monster together.

Qi Yun wandered leisurely, picking up things from the stall from time to time to take a look.

Soon after, he came to the stall he had visited yesterday, selling talisman supplies.

The middle-aged man stall owner with two beards recognized him: "Oh, it's you, I bought blank talisman paper yesterday, did you go back and try it?"

Qi Yun squatted down, shrugged his shoulders and said speechlessly: "I painted all day today, and I failed all." I knew I should have listened to you, what to waste that money for. ”

"That brother Tai has changed his mind, what kind of talisman do you like?" The middle-aged man didn't pick up his stubble, and there is no regret medicine in the world at all.

Looking ahead, how good it is to buy the finished talisman directly, at least there is no risk of failure. It's the price high.

"Don't worry, I want to ask a few questions, okay?" Qi Yun picked up a stack of blank rune papers from the stall and asked.

"You said, as long as I know, I will definitely satisfy Your Excellency. ”

The stall owner saw that there was a drama in this transaction, and for the sake of profitability, he naturally didn't mind answering a few more questions.

"Since you said that the success rate of novice drawing talismans is very low, there is not enough money, and there is no way to train talisman makers. That said, there aren't many talismans.

So why do I see many stalls selling these blank runes? It can't be put on a good show, right?"

Qi Yun said skeptically.

"Hehe! Those blank rune papers were sold to monks who practiced talismans. The middle-aged stall owner said with a smile.

"Spells?" Qi Yun was a little puzzled.

"Just like the spells you practice, spells that must be drawn in advance before they can take effect!

This is different from those talismans that store spells in rune paper and are intended to be easy to use.

The spirit runes used in talismans cannot be simply stimulated with spiritual power, and a certain amount of chanting spells is also required, but they are generally not complicated, and it is easy to get started. ”

The stall owner explained as he picked up a book from the stall and handed it to Qi Yun.

"Elementary Talisman Cultivation Encyclopedia", Qi Yun glanced at the title of the book, and looked at the content at a glance.

"Because the same kind of talisman is often used, these people think it's not cost-effective to buy it.

So, like Your Excellency, I went to practice the drawing of the talisman by myself, because the variety is relatively single, and although the cost is not small, it can finally afford it.

So you really often use some kind of talisman, and in the long run, it's best to make your own talisman.

But if you don't use this technique often, you can spend a little money and simply buy a few sigils for later. ”

The stall owner introduced it in detail, and finally gave Qi Yun a suggestion. Of course, if you say it well, you can also take care of his business.

Qi Yun made a comparison in his heart through a simple look. Of course, cultivating runes is much faster and more convenient than casting spells.

Spells can only be cast one by one, and the same number of runes, such as the fireball rune, can be used to activate more than ten rune papers with a single spell.

The power is directly multiplied.

However, compared to the runes that are directly activated by spiritual power, the use of runes requires part of the mind to cast spells, which is still not convenient enough.

He prefers to use the sigil directly.

And draw the talisman seal...... Qi Yun thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that the demon wolves in the south are overflowing, and the Fang City has publicly offered spirit stones to encourage the monks to hunt them. Have you ever hunted a demon wolf?"

The middle-aged stall owner was a little unsure of Qi Yun's thoughts, but for the sake of this business, he still explained:

"I've killed a few times, and I also went with a few friends. Demon wolves are not easy to kill, and no one can predict what danger will happen.

If you want to go, arm yourself as much as you can. It's also best to buy some talismans, in case of danger, you can also buy yourself some time to escape. ”

I want to sell the talisman on my stall.

Qi Yun smiled: "Indeed, these talismans on your stall are all good, you drew them yourself, right?"

"After passing the prize, I have no other skills, so I can only draw some talismans to make a living. ”

"It's humble, it's amazing. ”

Qi Yun had a small calculation in his heart, and briefly talked about the invitation of others in the tavern to him, and together he went to strangle the demon wolf, and also invited the stall owner:

"They asked me to invite a friend, I just came here and I don't have any friends, I don't know if you can invite your Excellency to come with me?"

"I'm worried that a person will be bullied by them. I can buy two dozen fireball charms from you if you want. ”

Qi Yun had been observing the other party's expression, and seeing that the stall owner was unmoved, he immediately added such a sentence.

However, the stall owner's reaction was somewhat unexpected.

After listening to his words, the stall owner first looked at him vigilantly, as if considering the truth of his words.

"What's the matter, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Qi Yun asked puzzled. He asked himself if he didn't show any aggression, could he have been seen through by the other party.

His acting skills have always been very good, and it is difficult to meet a sharp eye.

The stall owner thought about it carefully and seemed to think that he was really a newcomer, so he sighed: "Do the people who invited you have a fixed team, what is the name of their team, and has it been filed in the mercenary hall?"

After asking three times, Qi Yun was asked.

No one said that there was a fixed team, it seemed to be two scattered people. As for the other two, he was unheard of.

"Newcomer, when you look at you, you've been fooled. ”

The stall owner shook his head incessantly, quite sighing. If it hadn't been for him, this would have been another sheep sent into the tiger's mouth.

Immediately, he explained Qi Yun's question.

It is very difficult to build enough trust between casual and casual practice.

It is very difficult to fight alone and face all kinds of strange monsters in the mountains and forests.

Generally speaking, casual cultivation is based on a relatively close relationship between master and apprentice, Taoist couple, and friend, with a certain degree of trust, and a group for warmth.

It's kind of like a small sect family.

But there are more casual practices, there are no close partners, and building trust is also a long process, and most of the time it is alone.

Two thousand years ago, a new star appeared in the world of immortal cultivation, a genius monk, who launched a genius idea.

Establish a mercenary organization and formulate rules and regulations.

Pick up tasks in the mercenary hall and accumulate mission completion rate and credibility. Only those who have a certain degree of credibility can establish a mercenary group.

All official mercenaries must be registered with the mercenary organization, and the mercenary organization will also provide them with a series of services.

Including a legitimate guarantee for the mercenary group.

In other words, the mercenary group must be legal and compliant, if there is a kind of thing that recruits people in, and then takes them outside to kill them for money.

The mercenary organization will never let go of this kind of garbage mercenary group that has ruined its reputation, and will issue a large reward to hunt it down, and even clean up the portal himself.

In such a situation, with the mercenary organization as a guarantee, the casual cultivators can easily establish a certain amount of trust by forming a small team such as a mercenary group.

Although it is inevitable that there will be infighting in the face of interests, as well as the emergence of a very small number of scum elements.

However, on the whole, the emergence of this organization has made it easier for casual cultivators who are strangers to each other to establish trust and huddle together for warmth.

What the stall owner suspected was that the other party had encountered an irregular team and had not filed with the mercenary organization.

That means that you won't be constrained by mercenary organizations.

This kind of miscellaneous organization is generally not synonymous with good. There are endless cases of cheating and abduction.

"Slaughtering fat sheep" is a black word in their industry, that is, to deceive people to the outside of the market, where there are no monks, to kill people and seize treasures.

After listening to Qi Yun's words, the stall owner didn't suspect that the other party had encountered this kind of thing at first. Instead, he suspected that the other party was also this kind of person and wanted to deceive him.

But immediately seeing that the other party really looks like a newcomer, he doesn't understand many things, and he doesn't seem to pretend at all, so he dispelled this suspicion.

"Your Excellency, listen to my advice, ignore them, and better avoid them. Don't go out of the market lately, be more careful. The stall owner kindly persuaded a few words.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say a few words, make a good relationship, and if he can take care of it more, his business will be better.

All of this explained by the stall owner allowed Qi Yun to confirm the bad intentions of the guy in the tavern.

However, it was the stall owner's kindness that used the wrong place, Qi Yun was not a little sheep, but a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Inviting him to go with him, I didn't have the idea of eyeing his hand-made talisman with his eyes.

The heart of harming others can also be there, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

Pit people, Qi Yun will not have any guilt in his heart, in this world, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

Why can you only passively counterattack and take the initiative to attack better!

But since the person in front of him is a "good person" and it is not easy to fool, Qi Yun naturally will not be bored.

"It's okay to have a good relationship, I like to make friends with good people. He said in his heart.

On the surface, he still has to continue acting, patting his chest and pretending to be afraid, and he is very grateful for the stall owner's reminder.

Words are not enough to express, buy two dozen talisman seals, buy two stacks of talisman paper, a few bottles of demon beast blood, and the book "Elementary Talisman Cultivation Encyclopedia", directly take care of the other party's business, and express gratitude with actions.

The middle-aged stall owner smiled very happily, not only gave Qi Yun a little discount, but also advised: "Be careful, if you don't understand anything, you can come to me, I set up a stall here every night." ”

Bidding farewell to the middle-aged stall owner, Qi Yun continued to wander around the night market stalls.

The knowledge that the other party gave him popularized made him indeed gain a lot of knowledge. But for the rest, just listen to it.

The guy wanted to slaughter his fat sheep, and he wanted to bite back and puff up his empty storage bag again.

If you want to change roles, in addition to preventing the other party's means, Qi Yun feels that he also has to use some means.

Otherwise, if he really fights and confronts him head-on, he may not be able to easily win the other party.

Plan A, or Plan B?

It's best to think of plan A, that is, that thing has run out, and you have to buy some materials to configure it.

Just do it, Qi Yun collected the materials he needed at the stall, preparing to surprise that guy tomorrow.

Absolute surprise.
