Chapter 126: A Trip to East Lake
Lizong, Nanluo City.
This is a border city in the south of Lizong, with a history of more than 100 years. Surrounded by undulating mountains and sparsely populated, if it weren't for the fact that the neighboring Terran power, Wei, had deliberately kept a distance from the various sects and factions of the demon clan for a long time, this place would be much more prosperous than it is now. However, all kinds of smuggling trade in the secret are quite prosperous here, especially after the new city lord Pu Changling was changed last year, it has been repeatedly banned and intensified.
In the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion, several strangely dressed people were drinking tea with the City Lord Pu Changling. To outsiders, the men wore heavy gray cloth on their heads, the women wore black sarongs, and the merchants dressed completely out of the way, as if they were from the distant tribes of the Western Wilderness in the northwest.
After the greetings between the guest and the host, Pu Changling retired from all the attendants, nearly half a hundred years old, and he quickly stood up, sat down in the guest seat, and gave up the main seat.
"Senior Meng, I don't know if you need my cooperation on this trip?" He looked around, several men and women who came this time were all fresh faces, and only this Xuan-level Perfection Monk who only knew that he was called "Meng" was the only person here who could talk.
Seeing the token is like seeing the president, since the other party showed a black gold token, he has already confirmed the identity of the person who came, and immediately made appropriate arrangements.
"Prepare a secluded place, preferably without any people. The monk, who was called "Meng", did not move, but stretched out his hand and motioned to invite a veiled woman next to him to the main seat.
"It's easy to do, and I'll be able to handle it later. β
"Besides, find at least twenty monks, without a trace of concern. β
"No concern?" the corners of Pu Changling's mouth twitched, "Senior Meng, what do you mean?"
"I have a special use for these twenty people, and you can basically think that they are dead after they are in my hands. Do you understand?"
"Understood, understood. β
Pu Changling had recently heard that there were monks missing in Fangtu City near Zuo, could it be that it was also done by someone from the organization? He was a Xuan-level cultivator, and the position of this city lord was actually obtained through the operation of the organization, and his status in the Chamber of Commerce was not high, so he naturally didn't dare to ask more, "I don't know what restrictions there are on cultivation, and if I am shallow in lower cultivation, I'm afraid I still need to ......."
"Spirit level is enough. Aren't the Wild Waves your people, just let them do it, and pay attention to cleaning up the whole thing. β
"Okay, I'll arrange it. Pu Changling was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly retired on the pretext of doing things, as a low-key medium-sized gang in the city, the Wild Wave Gang was indeed his person secretly, he thought that only he knew, but he didn't expect that he still didn't hide the organization.
"This man is not faithful, and he will not be used for long. When he walked away, the woman covered in black gauze whispered.
"Yes, but everything is under our control, so you don't need to worry. β
"Find a suitable place as soon as possible, I'm afraid the 'Taibao' won't be able to control this thing for too long. β
She stretched out her right arm from the wide sleeve robe, and saw that above her white wrist, a red-eyed monster that looked like a frog was living there, and in the center of its slime-covered grass-green back, there was a lingering black gas lingering, this black gas seemed to be highly poisonous, bringing a lot of pain to this monster named 'Taibao', making it look around left and right, irritable. At this time, a bean-sized white pill was handed over, and the monster's blood-red tongue suddenly rolled, swallowing the pill, and the red light in his eyes slowly retreated, and then settled down.
"It's the same with monks, if we find someone who is suitable for the Dharma Phase, and after extracting it, we can just restrain this black qi, then we have a good killing weapon to use. β
"Yes. "The three people, including 'Meng', didn't dare to reply easily.
"I heard you lost two bottles of semi-finished products?"
"Yes, we are doing our best to track down the whereabouts. Ink Hill Spring blew itself up and died, and the remnants had been cleaned up by the Chixia Sect monks who had arrived in advance. Sadly, we don't have anyone to do for the time being. β
"I told the president a long time ago that don't put all your resources on him alone. The woman's gaze was slightly dark, "Is there a way for Chai Shijing?"
"The remnants of Inkhill Springs have dissipated. β
"Forget it, don't mention him again, do we still owe him a condition?"
"The president has asked Li Youenvoy to do his best. The elixir similar to the fourth-order awakening method is not so easy to find. If things don't go well, you can only try your luck at the auction of the Zhengqi Alliance. β
"I will remember this incident, he can afford to wait, our chamber of commerce is credible. Before she could finish speaking, the monster on her arm suddenly let out a cooing chirp.
"Quick, Dharma Protector!"
Hearing this familiar voice, the remaining three seemed to have been prepared, and three light shields of different colors were instantly sacrificed, covering all the sounds and spiritual power fluctuations here.
............
When Jiang Feng arrived in Donghu County, he was just in time for Zhou Xing to return from an inspection. Several family members and apprentices, except for Chen Xin, were all with him, judging from the dark color of these young people's faces, Zhou Xing was still desperate in terms of general affairs.
"Master!" As soon as a few people entered the broken temple, they saw Jiang Feng and Ding Lingyu, and before they could play out the cleaning charm, they immediately came over to salute.
"How's it going?"
"It's okay, although there are more things and more complicated, but it's quite smooth, and the steward Qiu Danian is also very cooperative and has helped a lot. Both the aborigines and the newly resettled laymen have now settled down. β
"If there is a lack of spirit stones, report it to the sect. Jiang Feng looked around, the furnishings here were a little exaggerated.
"There is no shortage for the time being, but there is a shortage of people, especially monks. I recently encircled a special area in East Lake, which is used to raise green-backed water spirit turtles, and the effect is not bad, but this kind of demon beast is a bit dangerous for ordinary ordinary people to raise, especially at night, and it must be guarded by monks. β
"I'll send a monk over when I come back, it's my new apprentice. Jiang Feng naturally refers to Jiang Yunqi, who has been preached by no one and can only be free-range, "In addition, there is a person named Zhang Sixi here, have you seen it?"
"I've seen it, it was his idea to raise a green-backed water spirit turtle. The apprentice you said, but the kid next to him?"
"That's right," Jiang Feng then remembered that he had told Zhou Xing to come over and contact Zhang Sixi, so Jiang Yunqi had naturally seen it, unless Zhang Sixi hid him.
"He is in East Lake with Chen Xin, but he didn't say that he was your apprentice, otherwise how dare I let him go to protect the spirit turtle?"
"Where is this, what is special about my apprentice, in the past half a year, he has been training by your side first, and you can help me guide him for a moment or two. Jiang Feng secretly thought, this Donghu County is still too small, just a few monks, naturally they will meet sooner or later, since Jiang Yunqi has "mixed" into this circle, it is naturally excellent.
Leaving a few first-order magic weapons for Zhou Xing's several apprentices, Jiang Feng took off the flying boat against the wind and flew towards the area where Zhou Xing mentioned raising spirit turtles, Zhou Xing was busy with general affairs here, if he could also have a flying magic weapon, it would be able to speed up the efficiency of work, but unfortunately this flying magic weapon is worth a lot of money, and it is necessary to have a bowl of water to be level, and it is also a county guard, and if it is given to Zhou Xing, it will be given to Shen Junmao, even if it is Li Youde, who is an official with his own spirit stone, he has to mean it on the scene, although he probably doesn't need it.
The next time you meet Shangguan Xiuqi, you should ask if there is a cheap and easy-to-use flying magic weapon to sell to you, but because the bargaining was too "excessive" before, Shangguan Xiuqi "deliberately forgot" to leave a contact information for himself, which is a little embarrassing.
By the way, he is Chu Yiming's fiancΓ©e, how could he forget about this, Jiang Feng recalled his experience in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and held back his smile, he didn't know if he was an impostor, and he was willing to help himself after he built a bridge to let them meet, but it was really not good, so he could only go to "Jiuxingfang" to ask, after all, Shangguan Xiuqi was the landlord, and the tenant had no reason not to contact the landlord.
With Wei Zhe, the guide sent by Zhou Xing, Jiang Feng quickly found the old house where Chen Xin and Jiang Yunqi lived, which was built on an isolated island with dense vegetation, which should be a temporary residence for fishermen to hide from the wind and rain.
"Hey, do you remember my apprentice?"
Jiang Yunqi came up full of emotion, his two little hands were crossed around his waist, his mouth was muttering, and he was angry, seeing that Wei Zhe and Chen Xin were stunned, they couldn't even speak, no matter what happened, they didn't dare to make such a mistake with the master.
"You, it's just that the family is spoiled, you look at Wei Zhe and Chen Xin, how much they know how to respect teachers. Jiang Feng ordered him a gooseberry, smiled and sat down on a shabby futon that was about to fall apart, "Didn't I come to see you as a teacher?"
"You're not their master, you're the master. β
"You are my apprentice, could it be that I am not your master?"
"That's different. Jiang Yunqi couldn't say anything about Jiang Feng, so he found a hard bench and sat down against Jiang Feng, but he still took Jiang Feng a plate of newly picked fruits from the island first, which was much more polite than when he accepted apprentices before.
The fruit is not a category sold on the market, only the size of a thumb, purple and black with slight white spots, and the entrance is extremely sour, but when it reaches the throat, there is a trace of aftertaste sweetness, Jiang Feng tasted a few and felt that it contained a faint aura.
This is a little-known spiritual fruit.
"It seems that it is also a way to go back and see your master and mention this purple-black fruit to him. Jiang Feng motioned to Wei Zhe and Chen Xin, who were standing straight, and asked them to find a place to sit down, these two children, in front of their own heads, were still too restrained.
"Yes. Master!" The voices of the two were crisp.
"Bring it?" Jiang Yunqi stretched out his little hand, his originally white and tender hands had a lot of vertical and horizontal cracks, it seemed that during this time, he did not suffer less, seeing this, Jiang Feng's heart floated a trace of sourness.
"What?" Jiang Feng pretended not to understand.
"What about gifts?"
"You kid, you don't look like a vain at all. Jiang Feng said with a smile, and didn't bother with him, he took out a shield-shaped magic weapon, this and several other magic weapons that were left to Zhou Xing's apprentice before, they were all purchased in Luo Chuan's shop before he left Luo Chuan, and with this shield-shaped magic weapon, the attributes are the best.
Water-colored floating light shield, a first-order medium-grade magic weapon, attribute 1 [body protection], after injecting spiritual power, open the shield to protect the body, the effect is equivalent to the effect of the second-order water shield charm; attribute 2 [water escape], excited underwater, can be hidden in the water, no need to breathe for up to half an hour, in the water, the shield's body protection effect is doubled.
This shield is very suitable for use in the East Lake area, after all, the water surface here is extremely wide, if you encounter an enemy, you can dive into the water to dodge, although Donghu County belongs to the territory of the shallow mountain sect, and there is Zhou Xing, a Xuan-level monk to guard, the probability of encountering a murderer is not large, but it is always good to be safe.
In addition, Jiang Feng also left him an ordinary first-order dagger, so that Wei Zhe and Chen Xin, who still didn't dare to sit down and only dared to stand aside, were envious, and after a few more words, Jiang Feng led Ding Lingyu across the lake, and flew towards Zhang Sixi's shop according to the guidance given by Jiang Yunqi.
As soon as he landed, before he could stand still, he saw that Zhou Xing was already waiting nearby, and he felt strange in his heart, but Zhou Xing greeted him first.
"Boss, Warm Valley County urgently sent two boxes and a letter. β
Li Youde?
Because Li Youde's appointment had already been approved by the Council of Elders, and the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao had additionally sent a supervisor, Jiang Feng was also lazy because of his busy affairs, and sent an official document to directly send the supervisor appointed by Wang Xiandao, and went to Fuyuan Town with a seal ribbon and a private message to handle matters related to Li Youde's appointment as the town guard of Nuangu County, but he didn't expect that so soon, the other party would have news.
What is in this box, the vermilion new paint, is not tightly sealed.
Jiang Feng opened it with his hand, but saw that inside, there were two bloody human heads in a bright position.
