Chapter VIII Oath
What Qiao Tianqi didn't expect was that at this moment, he was facing a group of Jindan monks, and it was a group of Jindan monks who had a rich boss.
There are a lot of them in the Yuan Hao Immortal Mansion. Even the magic weapon has piled up a hill.
Li Hui didn't care about this trip, the reward or anything, the important thing was what he saw and heard along the way, so that he could integrate into the Shangzhou cultivation realm as soon as possible. And a lot of information can also be obtained in such a large caravan.
The only thing that worried Li Hui was that they had just arrived in Shangzhou, and it was not suitable for them to get involved in some inexplicable battles. If you offend some people who can't afford to offend, it is undoubtedly not a good thing in this unfamiliar place.
"Young Master Qiao, we can't take your job, so you might as well invite another talent. After Li Hui finished listening to Qiao Tianqi, he put down the teacup in his hand and stood up.
Behind him, Liu Piaoxu and others also got up at the same time.
Qiao Tianqi's face changed, he stood up a little anxiously, and took a step forward to block in front of Li Hui: "Immortal Master stay, Immortal Master please stay." ”
Li Hui was stopped by this, and his footsteps stopped. Of course, if he really wanted to leave, even a hundred Qiao Tianqi couldn't stop him.
"Immortal Master, Tianqi is brave, and I hope that the Immortal Master can stay for a while. Qiao Tianqi looked at Li Hui sincerely.
Li Hui shook his head: "Young Master Qiao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but this trip is really a little unclear, and it is possible to be involved in some unknown accidents, which makes us embarrassed." We are just some casual cultivators, there is no sect backer, the most taboo is to get involved in such an unclear battle, although the reward given by Qiao Gongzi is high, but Li and his companions don't want to fight for their lives to take it. After speaking, Li Hui made a gesture and was about to leave again.
Qiao Ziqi's face moved slightly, and he stepped forward to explain: "The immortal master misunderstood, the reason why there are some dangers in this trip is not that it involves fighting with some sect forces, and the reason why I have hidden it from you is because this is originally just an internal matter of my Qiao family, and it does not involve outsiders. ”
Only then did Li Hui stand still, his face moving slightly: "Oh?
Qiao Tianqi was relieved to see Li Hui staying, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Immortal Master, please take a seat, all Immortal Masters, please take a seat." ”
Li Hui, Liu Piaoxu and others sat down again.
"The words have been said about this, Tianqi naturally will not hide it from the immortal masters, in fact, this trip?? There may not be those accidents on the way, I'm just taking precautions" Qiao Tianqi sighed slightly: "It's only because the goods I escorted on this trip are too precious and huge, and I accidentally leaked the news, I will worry that there will be some people on the road who will take risks, not afraid of the power of my Qiao family, to snatch it." ”
"Could it be that these goods will be coveted by cultivators?" Li Hui asked with a moving expression.
Qiao Tianqi nodded silently, and pondered for a while before continuing: "Naturally, most of this batch of goods are used by ordinary mortals, but there are also some things that can be regarded as heavenly treasures, if it weren't for the leakage of the news, this trip wouldn't have been so troublesome." This time I went to Donglin City, and the black wind desert I passed by, even an immortal master like my predecessor would be difficult to pass alone, so even if I wanted to find a monk to secretly transport it in a storage bag, I was also afraid that it would be difficult to reach Donglin City smoothly, so it was better to use the caravan of Dadetong, so maybe those outlaws in the black wind desert were still a little afraid. ”
In Li Hui's heart, he remembered some of the information he came into contact with, the relevant introduction to the Black Wind Desert.
The Black Wind Desert is thousands of miles long, all of them are the endless Gobi Desert, because there are often huge storms that cover the sky and the sun in this desert, and the sand and gravel are black, so it is called the Black Wind Desert.
This Black Wind Desert is famous in the entire southeast region of Shangzhou because of the countless fierce and evil people and demonic monks gathered here. The Black Wind Desert only believes in one criterion, strength!
There is no morality here, it is full of deception, plunder, and robbery. The monks in the Black Wind Desert will do whatever it takes to plunder others.
This is a place where no sect's power can extend, because this place is so chaotic.
Not only are the forces intricate, but even the terrain is extremely complex.
In the black wind desert, the black wind that often blows not only frightened mortals, but even monks changed their color when they heard it. There is no complete spiritual vein here, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely riotous. It's hard to even find a place where you can build a cave.
However, the entire Black Wind Desert cut the southeast part of Shangzhou into two parts, the north and the south, and the monks wanted to travel between the north and the south, and this Black Wind Desert was a must-pass place. So it became a paradise for the most vicious monks.
No matter if you offend those sectarian forces, or even if you offend a behemoth like the Dongfang Family, as long as you escape into the Black Wind Desert, you can escape the pursuit of the Dongfang Family. Of course, whether he can survive in the Black Wind Desert is also a question.
Despite the chaos in the Black Wind Desert, in the end, these big families who need to transport goods back and forth between the north and the south all year round, and do business and trade, have opened up a relatively safe route in the Black Wind Desert.
Several major business alliances, including the Dongfang family, all came forward to join forces, fought their way out of the Black Wind Desert, and finally reached an agreement with several dark power giants in the Black Wind Desert. Every year, these families offer a considerable amount of money to these dark forces, and these dark forces promise not to interfere with the normal trade of several major merchant alliances.
It's not that these business alliances and families don't want to completely eradicate the tumor of the Black Wind Desert, but because this place is too special, this Black Wind Desert does not belong to any force, and is completely composed of some extremely vicious people. Moreover, the environment in this desert is too harsh, even if all these murderers are eradicated, the entire Black Wind Desert cannot be occupied, and new murderers will breed in the future.
Although the two sides reached an agreement, this black wind desert has never been a place to talk about rules. There are always those murderers who take risks to kidnap these past business alliances. It's just that after being restricted by those dark power giants, they don't dare to be too blatant.
Li Hui couldn't help but have a strong interest in this black wind desert in his heart.
"Although such a place is chaotic, those who can really gain a foothold in it are undoubtedly strong, and it is the best place to sharpen themselves. This is what Li Hui thinks in his heart.
"A few immortal masters, our Dade Tong Business Alliance, and some other business alliances and families, all have appointments with several dark forces in the Black Wind Desert, we won't care about small fights, but if it's too much, then the family and sect behind us will take action, so our caravan walking in the Black Wind Desert, although we will also encounter some dangers, but we will not cross the line, so I sincerely invite a few immortal masters to join our Dade Tong caravan. Qiao Tianqi was deeply moved.
"Qiao Gongzi, please get up, if this trip does not involve the struggle between the sect forces, I will just agree, I want to go to Donglin City, and it is also a good thing to have the Dade Trade Alliance to accompany me. Li Hui nodded indifferently and agreed to Qiao Tianqi's request.
Qiao Tianqi's face instantly showed a look of great joy: "It is best that a few seniors can join, if you have any requirements, just put it forward." ”
"As for the reward, just according to what you Qiao Gongzi said before, just consider waiting for me. Li Hui said without moving.
Although he didn't lack spirit stones and spiritual weapons, the more such things the better.
"Okay, according to what the predecessors said, the caravan will set off in three days, and in these three days, the seniors will stay in the accommodation provided by Dadetong. Qiao Tianqi said again.
Smack!
Then Qiao Tianqi struck each other several times with both palms.
Then a man walked in with a disc in his hand.
"If the seniors don't have any opinions, let's sign this oath together, and this is just a symbolic process. Qiao Tianqi explained.
Swear, this Li Hui knows something. It is the most common contract in the land of Shangzhou, which is bound by the oath of the heart. However, this kind of contract is only useful for the foundation building monks, and Jindan monks like Li Hui will not be bound by this oath at all.
Usually the monks who were employed by the caravan and the owner of the caravan would sign an oath to bind the actions of both parties.
"Okay, then we'll sign an oath with Mr. Qiao. Li Hui nodded.
Na Hu Cong stepped forward, and there were cyan palm-sized jade talismans in the disc, and Li Hui and the others each took a piece.
Holding the jade talisman in his hand, his mind probed into it, and some information came to mind.
"I swear by so-and-so with my heart and make a vow......"
This jade talisman contains the contents of the oath in detail, which even includes details such as the reward given.
Then Li Hui dropped a drop of blood into the jade talisman without thinking, and it was quickly absorbed by the jade talisman. Everyone else did the same.
Then Qiao Tianqi also dripped his own blood into the jade talisman.
Li Hui felt some information drifting towards the darkness.
This Qiao Tianqi himself is also not a weak martial artist, and after dripping blood, the wound in his hand immediately stopped bleeding.
"Hahaha, then I won't disturb a few seniors, let someone take a few seniors to rest first. Qiao Tianqi laughed.
Then Li Hui and the others followed the Hu from the other exit and left Wantong Building, and went to a luxurious inn to rest.
"Young Master, why do you value these people so much? Even if you don't have a few of them on this trip, you can find some other monks again, why do you have to pay such a price. The man in sackcloth asked, a little puzzled.
At this moment, only Qiao Tianqi and the man in sackcloth were left in the hall.
Qiao Tianqi was a little distracted, his fingers couldn't help tapping lightly on the table, and when he heard the man in sackcloth asking, he muttered and said, "Uncle Shi, do you know what the group of monks they dealt with today is?"
The Mai man was stunned for a moment and replied: "The Seven Friends of Yanshan, who act trickily and paranoidly, are between the good and the devil, and are very difficult characters to mess with. ”
"That's right, but this Li Immortal Master didn't even move his fingers, so he let the man who was good at the ghost path technique among the seven friends of Yanshan be tricked, and his mind was lost, this cultivation is simply unfathomable. Qiao Tianqi recalled the scene in the hall today
