Chapter 65: A little expensive
Xianmeng City.
Special regional environment, special climate and meteorology.
A moment ago, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the wind and fog were dissipating. The next moment, dark clouds rolled and the wind was stormy.
During the rainstorm, the flood on the Ninth Ring Road was raging, and the rush was surging. It seems that the floods in the entire Ganzhou are concentrated on the Ninth Ring Road. The water became more rapid and began to flood the area outside the Ninth Ring Road. The passages on the towns outside the Ninth Ring Road are like drainage channels, and the big water flows through them without stopping, and they are quickly diverted to large and small ditches.
From this point of view, the human race has risen from a weak level to dominate the Hongmeng realm, which indeed proves such a heavenly way - thousands of living beings, and the primate dominates.
After the rain, the sky is cloudy, and the rainbow hangs high. The sun is setting in the west, the sunset is scattered, and there is no human figure. The wind blowing from the mountains was mixed with a thick chill.
At this moment, a teenager hummed a low tune and walked out of an alley outside the Ninth Ring Road. He was dressed in a gray coarse cloth shirt, straw sandals, and wielded a small scythe in his hand, with a simple little scythe on his back. Suddenly, he felt something strange, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the other side of the avenue by feeling. There was also a young man standing there, also carrying a small backpack.
The two teenagers looked at each other, one looking surprised and the other calm.
"Hey, you're a melon baby from out of town?" the gray-shirted boy shrugged and looked at the black-shirted boy like a fool.
"What is a melon baby?" Dugu Hexuan smiled lightly, "Passing by the treasure land, I want to go into the mountains to find an opportunity." I don't know if the little brother can ......"
"Uh-huh!" the gray-shirted boy pretended to interrupt unintentionally, and continued to walk north as if nothing had happened.
Dugu Hexuan hurriedly chased after him, walked side by side with him, took out five spirit stones, and said, "Brother, you are new here, please take care of it." A little meaning, not a tribute. ”
The gray-shirted young man was indifferent and said, "Double!"
"Okay!" Dugu Hexuan made a refreshing deal and presented the spirit stones in full.
The gray-shirted young man took the spirit stone into his arms as a matter of course, and said to the guide: In Ganzhou, if you want to find a real opportunity, you have to go to the south or southwest. There are evil mountains and bad waters, and there are spiritual mountains and spiritual lands. There are many treasures in heaven and earth, and fierce birds and beasts are common. Going north, whether it is due north or northwest, its mountains are more barren, and the mountains are more dangerous than the south, but they also give birth to a lot of spiritual materials. The most famous is a kind of natural spiritual tea - Drifting Snow, also known as Drifting Sprite Shadow. Now is the best time to collect. But due to a big hailstorm more than a month ago, all of them were destroyed. As a result, many families outside the West Kowloon Ring Road have been cut off from a source of income.
"You're so unlucky!" The gray-shirted young man glanced at Dugu Hexuan playfully, and said, "Why don't I take you to the south to have a look?"
"No need to ......"
"Why?" The gray-shirted young man didn't wait for Dugu Hexuan to explain, and interrupted: "You said you, it's not easy to come here. It would be a shame if I didn't even take a look. ”
"The guide fee is too expensive!" Dugu Hexuan said with a smile, "It's better to try your luck in the north and see if you can find the famous tea drifting snow." I remember that the price of this tea was the same as that of the top grade of the first grade of spiritual materials, and it was one of the most valuable spiritual teas. It's a lot of money. ”
"Oh, the fee just now, it's just a simple guide. If you go to the Heavenly Barren Mountain and let me lead the way, you will need ten. The gray-shirted young man secretly squinted, pursed his lips and sighed: "I am always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted, and always use the cheapest price to guide people." ”
"Good!"
When the ten spirit stones were offered, the gray-shirted young man was a little unnatural. His eyes began to restless. It's as if he'd never seen a fool. However, there was an excellent quality spirit stone in front of him, and he had no reason to refuse. After taking the spirit stone, he patted Dugu Hexuan's shoulder heavily, and said seriously:
"I'm optimistic about you! I will definitely get ahead in the future, and I will be able to get ahead!" In his heart, he probably was: "Oh my God! There is such a fool in the world?
The two teenagers walked side by side, and when they walked out of the Ninth Ring Road, it was a hundreds of forked paths. Not for anything else, but because at the end of the avenue, there are mountains. The gray-shirted young man was familiar with the road, and took Dugu Hexuan into a small road in the northwest direction. The trail winds and turns, slanting upward, like a twisted rope, and the steps that have been stepped on over the years are really like edges. The gray-shirted boy walked on it, as light and agile as he danced, and his speed was extremely fast. Dugu Hexuan is a little tragic, but he is in the way, but it is okay.
For a while, Dugu Hexuan's attention was all on the footwork of the gray-shirted boy. It seems that he is familiar with this kind of footwork, but he can't say why.
Traveling more than 30 zhang, the mountain shape changed drastically. On the left is an ordinary loess barren mountain, and on the right is a ravine about a hundred zhang wide. The ravine is about three zhang deep, and a plant with white leaves and black stems and red thorns grows in it, which is extremely dense.
The gray-shirted young man said: "That plant is called 'Black and White Blood Grass', and the bright red thorns that grow on it are extremely poisonous, even if it is a Jindan Realm monk, if it is a Dao, it will be difficult to save his life." Piaoxue Ling Tea is a vine plant, which is attached to the grass. Now, only grass remains, and there is no tea. ”
"Wouldn't it kill a lot of people if you collected it once?"
"What's the solution? The weak have the power and leeway to choose? At least, if you fight for your life, there's still some hope here, right?"
Dugu Hexuan nodded, did not reply, just silently followed behind the gray-shirted boy. After walking a distance of fifty zhang, night fell, and the yin wind on the mountain road protruded, blowing black and white blood grass whining. This place suddenly became a hell of hell.
The gray-shirted boy yawned and said a little boredly, "A little more up, it's a dome peak." If you're lucky, it's the only place where snow tea is possible. ”
"Oh!" Dugu Hexuan replied and really walked up.
The gray-shirted young man was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled sharply, he really couldn't believe the peer in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he said in his heart: "Is it a person who wants to die?"
Suddenly, a "hiss" sounded in the ravine, and then a huge red snake head hung high in the air, as if facing a great enemy. The gray-shirted young man let out a low roar, turned his head and ran, and in the corner of his eye, he clearly saw a blue light pointing towards the snake's head. It's just that, at this moment, he doesn't care about anything, he only hates that he didn't have wings.
The stars are bright and the moon is dark, and the clouds and mountains are foggy.
Outside the Ninth Ring Road of Xianmeng City, it is always calm at night. In a calm town, a quiet small farmhouse, but there is a worried teenager who is silently bowing his head to eat.
"Little One, what's the matter?" an old voice asked slowly, "Grandpa sees that you are a little uneasy, could it be that something more terrible has happened?"
The person who spoke, getting older, had silver hair and white hair, and a pair of black eyes were embedded in his thin and dark face. It seems to be very energetic.
"Grandpa, do you say that there are really fools in this world?" The young man who called Xiaoyi put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, carefully took out twenty spirit stones, and said: "Grandpa, if this spirit stone is not real, I really suspect that I have met a ghost, and it is a stupid ghost." ”
"Oh, what does he look like, what's so different?"
"He is very handsome, wearing a black shirt and carrying a small back. ”
"Oh, perhaps, just a passerby!"
"It's not impermanence, it's not a ghost, it's not a god, it's not a Buddha, it's the only way of heaven!" someone outside the door answered loudly, "Passers-by ask for a cup of tea to eat, and ask the master's family to make it convenient." ”
Xiao's face sank, and he roared, "Who?"
"Acquaintance!" the old man smiled and said, "Xiaoyi, go open the door." ”
Xiao Yi took out a jet-black bǐ shǒu from his sleeve. bǐ shǒu three-pointed two-edged, with blades without blades, the hilt sword body qiāng head, no more than nine inches long. He exhaled lightly, glanced at the old man, and then went to open the door.
"Ghost!" The moment the door was opened, Xiao Yi roared and flashed behind the old man with a strange movement.
The old man asked calmly, "You killed that red snake?"
"Good luck!" Dugu Hexuan smiled slightly, sat down opposite the old man calmly, and said, "Senior, should I call you Uncle or Uncle?"
Xiao Yi was shocked: "What? What did you say? Do you know my grandfather?"
"I don't know!" Dugu Hexuan said with a smile, "However, I know that the bǐ shǒu in your hand, it is called 'Killing Ghosts and Gods', and it is one of the lost Seven Divine Soldiers of the Ancient Wu Clan. ”
"Who are you? I'll give you back the spirit stone, don't harm your grandfather and my life, okay?"
The old man smiled faintly, signaled his grandson not to panic, sat beside him, and said, "Xiao Yi, he is the only heir of your third grandfather, after the authentic bloodline of the Dugu family in Longyuan Valley, Dugu Hexuan." Grandpa guessed that it was the scythe in your hand that made him see the flaw. ”
"You're really good. I have never practiced the divine powers of my witch clan, but I can determine my identity with the steps of Xiaoyi going up the mountain. It can be seen that your understanding is extremely high. The old man continued, "When you come to Ganzhou, you shouldn't be looking for our grandchildren. I don't know what Dugu Gongzi has to say?"
"The Guwu clan was originally divided into twelve clans, but after its decline, it split and merged into five sects. Today, there are only two branches left, the Heavenly Witch Sect and the Divine Witch Sect, to continue the incense. I don't know what kind of line my uncle is?"
"Heavenly Witch, Heavenly Dao is only witches! If you talk about the glory of the past, my ancient witch should be second to none. ”
"With the ability of the master and uncle, why can you settle here and be unknown?"
"In the last years of the wind and candles, there is still a wish unfulfilled. Otherwise, it would have been a handful of loess for a long time. ”
Dugu Hexuan pondered for a moment and said, "But the future of the younger brother?"
"That's right!" the old man affirmed, "The Wu Sect accepts clan disciples, and only after the baptism of the 'Witch Mirror' can they be qualified. Attending a baptism is a significant expense. ”
"How much?"
"Fifty thousand!"
"This ...... A bit pricey!"
"There is no one in the sect, which has caused the Wu clan to fall to such a point. Today, they only know about extortion, cannibalism, and living on the inheritance created by their ancestors. But he never thought of rushing out of the quicksand sea and restoring the glory of the ancient witch. It's really a great shame for the ancient witch clan. Recalling the past, the wind and clouds will meet, the dragon and the tiger leap, the witchcraft shakes the heavens and the earth, kills ghosts and gods, subdues demons, and punishes birds and beasts. Dominate the world, and regard all races as grass and mustard ants. What a magnificence it was. Now, all that's left is sighing!"
