20. Return to the capital (3)
"And what about this corpse?"
Seeing that Xiahou Yan was going to leave after doing this, Huang Chang couldn't help but ask more, he originally thought that the sect would take away the entire tiger corpse, and then reward them with some door merit casually, but now it seems that there is no need?
But Xiahou Yan smiled at him:
"Of course, you keep it for yourself, use it for yourself or sell it, it's your prey. The www.biquge.info tiger meat tastes good, and the tiger bone and tiger whip are even better things, and there will definitely be no worries about no market. ”
As he spoke, Xiahou Yan squeezed his eyes at Huang Chang and the others:
"When I first came over, I saw that many people from the rivers and lakes were already coming to the Taoist temple. This place is the inland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is rare to hunt this kind of monster that is close to the transformation period. It is also the land of Gyeonggi, the royal capital, with the most rich and noble families. If you don't want to use this demon body yourself, it's best to sell it locally, and it's not unusual to bring it up the mountain, and it's not cost-effective to change the door. ”
Indeed, as soon as Xiahou Yan left on the front foot, the senior brother on the back foot came to discuss with Huang Chang and the others - they were too ostentatious when they went up the mountain, and countless people saw a few little Taoist priests from Kunlun Mountain carrying a giant tiger demon corpse full of aura into the Longshouyuan Taoist Temple. Once the news spreads...... What is the place next to Longshouyuan? Pickaxe capital! The place where the wealthy families of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty are most concentrated. In this world, the so-called wealthy families will never survive without sufficient force, and the urgent need for such demon bodies by these big families is beyond the imagination of Huang Chang and others.
In the past, those who encountered along the way and intercepted on the road only coincided with their meetings, but now they all got the news and came to the door to ask for purchases. That's bigger than the other, and even the Ji clan of the Great Zhou royal family sent people.
The old Taoist master here can be stationed here for a long time, of course, he is very good at interpersonal relationships. Speaking of which, he is a high-ranking immortal master, the agent of the heavenly immortal gate Xi Kunlun in the world, and even the Great Zhou Emperor has to be polite to him. But when dealing with those big families, it is impossible to always be domineering, and giving face to each other is the normal state that can maintain interpersonal communication. This time, since those big families had sent people, he came over and asked: Do the juniors and disciples of this tiger demon spirit body want to keep it for their own use, or do they plan to sell it for a spirit stone?
Of course, Huang Chang and the others didn't plan to use it for themselves—for their mid-stage cultivators, this monster corpse equivalent to the late-stage realm was no longer of much help to them. Moreover, they had all seen the tiger demonized into a human form during the battle, although it was still restored to the tiger's true form after death. But the thought of skinning, cramping, bone, and flesh of such a creature that was once in human form had to be eaten in the end...... It's inevitable that I can't stand it psychologically, so I'll sell it.
"If you want to sell it, you might as well leave it to our Taoist temple to operate. We have a familiar merchant pavilion in the city, and there will be an auction in a few days, and this tiger demon spirit body can definitely become a treasure for the finale. ”
The old Taoist priest was really good at these aspects, and with one sentence, he dispelled the doubts of Huang Chang and others, and also saved those people from the family outside from scrambling - since there are so many people who want to buy it, it is not good to sell it to anyone. Then simply put it up for auction, the one with the highest price will get it, it will be open and fair, and no one will be offended.
............
After deciding on this matter, Huang Chang and the others decided to rest in the Taoist temple for a few days, on the one hand, waiting for this auction. On the other hand, a few people were injured a lot when they fought with the tiger demon before, although they recovered most of them after temporary treatment, but now they are free, so they might as well recuperate and consolidate it again to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the body. During this period, Huang Chang originally wanted to find the senior who carried him back then-now he was going to call him senior brother, and he expressed his gratitude, but he couldn't find it. The whereabouts of the immortal cultivator were uncertain, and even the old Taoist of the Guan Lord did not know his whereabouts, so he had to stop depressed.
In addition, Ji Ruo's home is in the capital of Ho, and she was arranged to go home to see and meet her family, which is also one of the reasons why Huang Chang chose this patrol task in the first place.
Of course, Ji Ruo would not object to Huang Chang's kindness, and went home happily. Everyone thought she would have to stay at home for at least three or five days, but who knew that in less than a day, the little girl would come back again. And there seemed to be a hint of unhappiness in her demeanor, although she was very good at hiding her emotions now, the other three didn't care too much, but they couldn't hide it from Huang Chang after all, and they were seen at once.
In the evening of the same day, after doing the evening class, Huang Chang followed the divine sense to the back of the Taoist temple, at the edge of the Longshouyuan Square, and saw Ji Ruo sitting on a big stone, looking in the direction of the pickaxe capital. Huang Chang also looked at it, only to see the stars in the dark parts of the city, and the lights in the bright places were like day, a prosperous and lively scene. looked back at Ji Ruo, but saw that her eyes were also a little crystalline, and there were faint tears flickering.
The little girl seems to have an unpleasant quarrel with her family, but after all, she still remembers her family. Huang Chang went up the mountain with her and saw Ji Ruo's father's care for her - he was also naked, if it weren't for those iron-soled shoes, I am afraid he would have to suffer a lot more when crossing the thorny vine bridge.
And in the past few years, Ji Ruo has also expressed his longing and attachment to his father at home many times, so Huang Chang deliberately chose to go through the inspection mission of the pickaxe capital this time. I thought Ji Ruo would be very happy, but I didn't expect it to seem a little self-defeating?
However, Huang Chang didn't rush up to ask for persuasion, but gently jumped onto the stone platform, sat down next to Ji Ruo, and watched the scenery with her. If other men dared to do this, they would either be kicked down or Ji Ruo would walk away by himself, but Huang Chang was different after all, he had this confidence.
And Ji Ruo really didn't move, and after sitting in dementia for a long time, he suddenly asked:
"Brother Ah Chang, is it true that once you enter the Immortal Gate, you really can't have any more family?"
Huang Chang was stunned, shook his head and said:
"Why, Senior Brother Mu, don't they often remind us to write letters home. Immortal cultivators have no home because our living environment is separated from the mortal world, and the lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary mortals, and it is easy to become a lonely person in the future, but it is not to alienate the original family. ”
"But will the family still accept us?"
Ji Ruo asked again, her tone was very low, and Huang Chang gave her a strange look:
"Of course it will, others don't know, at least I often write to my family, and a few days ago I changed the house and wrote a letter to inform me of the new address, I'm afraid I won't find it when I go back...... I'm still a member of the family. ”
This sentence seemed to touch Ji Ruo's sadness, and she suddenly choked up:
"But my father...... He doesn't want me anymore!"
