Chapter 3: The Narrow Road

"Xuegong is tuition, and if a disciple with poor talent wants to become a disciple of cultivation, he can only pay some more money than a person with good talent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xie Fangwu interjected.

"How much does that cost?" Yang Feng scratched his head.

"Usually one or two hundred taels of silver is enough. Chow Tai Fook said.

"One or two hundred taels of silver?" Yang Feng stayed there for a while.

Although he was only thirteen years old, the children of the poor were in charge of the family at an early age. He had long heard his father say how difficult it was to accumulate money, selling a bucket of grain to earn a few hundred copper plates, and if he wanted to save a hundred taels of silver, for a poor family like them, he had to save for several years.

At that moment, he shook his head and said silently: "I can't get that much money at home......"

"Fengzi's family is poor, this is indeed a problem......" Chow Tai Fook fell into deep thought.

Xie Fangwu also kept scratching the crown of his hair, and suddenly he showed joy and said: "I heard that there is a beast named Longbo in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and if you beat it, it will drop the pearl of the year, this is a good thing, you can make a lot of money by selling it to black market merchants, and then Fengzi will have money to pay for tuition!"

Chow Tai Fook's eyes also lit up and said: "Yes, a year-old pearl can be sold for two or three hundred taels of silver, which is enough to pay Fengzi's tuition!"

Yang Feng looked at Zhou and Xie suspiciously: "What is Long Bo?

Chow Tai Fook said: "Lombal is a kind of monster that is not much bigger than a wild boar, it looks like a wild boar, but it has dragon horns, and people jokingly call it the dragon's 'uncle', so the name of Lombard comes from this." Suizhu is the pill it holds in its mouth, and when it is beaten, it will spit out the pill. This thing won't be of much use to us, but the Dan Master will take it away and grind it into a powder to make a kind of elixir that can improve your strength after taking it. ”

Xie Fangwu said: "Then can't we also take it?"

Chow Tai Fook shook his head and said, "No." That thing is only effective if it is taken by high-level cultivators above the fifteenth level, and not only is it ineffective when we take it, but it is in danger of our lives, so it is best to sell it at a good price!"

Yang Feng muttered: "Long Bo is both a beast and a creature in this world, why should we harm it?"

Xie Fangwu said: "It's not to hurt it, it's just to beat it to spit out the pearl." After it spits out the beads, it will grow new ones. ”

"Then can we beat it?" Yang Feng asked another question.

Chow Tai Fook said with a smile: "Although that thing has the word 'dragon', it is actually no different from a wild boar, and it is easy to fight." The only question is whether the thing will spit out the beads after being beaten, because there are many longboys who are often beaten, and it is difficult to form new beads. And the quality of the pearls is also good and bad, the white one is the worst, and it can't be sold for a few dollars, the green one is slightly better, and the red one is a little stronger. If you can hit the purple one, it will be the best, and it can be sold for at least five hundred taels of silver!"

Xie Fangwu said: "Then what are we waiting for?

Zhou Taifu said: "However, Master also asked us to send a letter to his old man's house to Oolong Town!"

"When you hit the New Year's pearl, it's not too late to send it!"

"Alright then!" Chow Tai Fook finally made up his mind.

The Great Wilderness Mountain is more than 500 miles southwest of Yau Ma Xi Village. The three of them rode for two days to gain two-thirds of the distance, and there were still more than one hundred and eighty miles. Chow Tai Fook wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "If this is the Imperial Sword, it will be half an hour, why do you need to walk for so long?"

Yang Feng said guiltily: "It's all because my 'old toad' is useless and dragged down the two brothers, otherwise you can go faster." ”

Xie Fangwu said: "It's time for you to change a horse! When you get the New Year's Pearl, I will buy you a good horse after paying the rest of the tuition fee." ”

At this moment, suddenly two fast horses galloped past them, and the people on the horses seemed to leave a sentence: "Let's hurry, I heard that this time it is the best ......."

Zhou Taifu's heart jumped and said: "It's not good, I'm afraid these people are also going to play the New Year's Pearl! We must not be preempted by them!"

Xie Fangwu also nodded and said, "These two people are wearing Xuanxi alchemy clothes, and they are probably Oxnose Daoists who came down from Qinglong Mountain. Although the Qinglong Gate on Qinglong Mountain is a great sect of cultivation, like our Baiyun Palace, there are a large number of people with poor qualifications and cultivation who are accepting apprentices to teach their arts, such as our master ......"

"Senior Brother Xie, how can you be disrespectful to Master and his old man?" Zhou Dafu said with a long face.

"Forget it, you're usually more disrespectful than me, okay?, what are you pretending to be serious now?" Xie Fangwu sneered.

"Don't talk nonsense, let's catch up quickly!" Chow Tai Fook whipped the horse's hips, and galloped forward.

Yang Feng and Xie Fangwu were also busy catching up with them. Xie Fangwu's horse was on par with Chow Tai Fook, and after a while, he ran alongside Chow Tai Fook, while Yang Feng's "old toad" was so tired that he was panting, and it took half a day to catch up with them.

At this time, it was already dark, and Yang Feng was so tired that he gasped and said, "Two brothers, you can't see the road, how can you hurry?"

Chow Tai Fook said: "One person makes a torch and hurries away with a torch!"

I saw that he didn't use the fire fold, but he just gathered his luck, and used the Xuangong in his body to escape a little flame from the tips of his fingers, and then ignited three pine oil firewoods, handed one to Yang Feng and Xie Fangwu, and held one himself, and shouted at Yang and Xie: "Go!"

Yang Feng was dumbfounded and said, "Brother Dafu, how can the tips of your fingers ignite a fire?"

Chow Tai Fook said proudly: "The wonder of Xuangong, how can words say it?"

The three of them continued to gallop forward with torches. After most of the night's journey, we entered a valley at dawn.

I saw that this valley is very wide, the two sides spread out for about ten miles, the green hills on both sides are majestic, the forests are dense, the valley is a murmuring stream, the grass is green, the grass is full of all kinds of flowers, the mountain wind blows, the grass tips are scattered, you can see all kinds of beasts wandering in the meantime, but they are all some cows, sheep, raccoons, gray rabbits and the like, and there is no monster dragon in it.

Chow Tai Fook explained: "This is the Hundred Flowers Valley of the Great Wilderness Mountain, which is dominated by low-grade beasts, and it is estimated that Long Bo will not see it until he reaches Baodao Gorge!"

"The beasts of the Treasure Dao Gorge are of high level, there is no shortage of fierce bears, wolves, tigers and leopards, people who are not cultivators are not allowed to trespass, Fengzi should not enter, just wait for us here!" Xie Fangwu said.

Zhou Dafu also nodded and said, "Brother Fang Wu is right, the Baodao Gorge is too dangerous, so don't go in." ”

Yang Feng stayed in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, waiting for Zhou and Xie to come back.

Waiting for someone is boring. However, because the scenery in the Valley of Flowers is extremely beautiful, Yang Feng lingers in the beautiful scenery in the valley, but he does not feel bored.

Before I knew it, half a day had passed, and when Yang Feng was feeling a little sleepy, there was a sudden noise in the woods in the southeast, and then a strange-looking animal came out.
