Volume 1 The Nanzhou Rebellion Chapter 48 The Strange Story of the Small Village

After leaving the mountain village, Chen Hao readjusted his position and continued to walk towards the capital, but fortunately, there was no further situation on the road.

Because I had been there once before, I was a little familiar with the road, so I didn't take any detours on the road, and went straight to the capital.

Two hours later, Chen Hao came to the capital again, it is estimated that it is the end of the year, the outer city is full of lights, the voices are boiling, there are dragon and lion dances, it is not lively, after staying in the outer city for a while, enter the inner city.

After entering, I found that the whole street was a little depressed, only Liao Liao and a few people were setting up stalls, seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh, when the auction was held, there were a lot of people here, and now it looks like this.

After sighing, after many inquiries, I came to the place where a refining workshop was located, and I also learned some things about the advancement of magic weapons through inquiry.

If the attributes of the two materials conflict, not only can it not be refined successfully, but it will damage the magic weapon, so it is generally refined with materials of the same attributes, so the success rate and fit are also higher.

After thanking the owner, I came to the place where the auction was held, and after entering, I walked along the commercial street, and stopped in front of a beautifully decorated shop, looked up, and there were several big characters on the door plaque.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Hao walked in, there was a lobby inside, with many counters, and there was a small servant at each counter, at this moment in front of the counter, only Liao Liao and a few people were shopping.

I found a counter at random, went up to inquire, and was overjoyed to learn that there was something I needed here.

Then followed the little guy to a private room on the second floor, at this time, there was already a middle-aged man waiting in the private room, bowed to him, and took Chen Hao to the private room, and the little guy left here.

"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat!" After entering the private room, the middle-aged man raised his hand to signal, Chen Hao immediately took a seat, and sat with him in the eye, there was a table between the two, and a jade box was placed on the table.

"I am the shopkeeper of this shop, my surname is Xu, and the jade box on the table is what you need, Taoist friends can take a look first. After seeing Chen Hao seated, the middle-aged man spoke.

"Shopkeeper Xu is polite!" After listening to the middle-aged man's introduction, Chen Hao bowed, then took the jade box and began to check it.

After opening the jade box, a burst of silver light flickered, and the box was neatly arranged with some crystals, boxy, the size of a fingernail, with silver light flowing on it, which looked extremely dazzling.

Pick one up with your fingers, look at it in front of your eyes, and put it back into the box.

"Shopkeeper Xu, does this thing have a name?" After recovering the jade box, Chen Hao looked at the middle-aged man on the other side and said.

"This thing is called Yingang Sand, and it has a hard texture, which can be used to make it stronger when used in refining tools, and it is also a rare material. Seeing Chen Hao's inquiry, the middle-aged man also introduced this thing.

"Silver Gangsha. After listening to the middle-aged man's introduction, Chen Hao muttered to himself, although he didn't know what the specific material was used to create the silver hammer, but it was silver all over, and it was obviously made of an unknown material, and this thing should be okay.

"I don't know how much this item costs?" After thinking for a while, Chen Hao asked.

"One thousand lower-grade spirit stones, one silver gangsha, and one jade box can hold a hundred, which means that one box needs 100,000 lower-grade spirit stones. Seeing Chen Hao asking the price, the middle-aged man also gave the price of Yingangsha.

Rao is Chen Hao is a little mentally prepared, after hearing this price, he was also surprised, this thing is so expensive, after a while, it took a while to stabilize his mind, thinking of the efficacy and growth of the Spirit Hammer, although he felt a little painful, but Chen Hao still decided to buy this thing, fortunately, he just got nearly 500,000 spirit stones not long ago, otherwise, his family will be hollowed out.

According to the information learned from the previous inquiry, a box of silver gang sand should be enough to be refined, so the price of a box is still bearable.

"I want this box of silver gangsha, this is a spirit stone, fellow Daoists, please take a look. Chen Hao took out a bag from the ring, which contained the divided spirit stone, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"The quantity is right, this thing belongs to the Taoist, and the transaction is happy. The middle-aged man took the bag, checked the number with his spiritual sense, and spoke.

Seeing this, Chen Hao waved his hand, and the jade box on the table was put into the ring by him, and then he took the lead out of the private room, and the middle-aged man then sent him off, and soon came to the lobby below, and after saying goodbye, Chen Hao left here.

After leaving the shop, after walking around the neighborhood again, he purchased some Ice Spirit Pills, and the Blood Pattern Pill needed to be refined temporarily, so he still had to wait for a while, so he was wandering around the city at the moment to pass the time, and after passing through an intersection, suddenly some voices came, making Chen Hao stop.

"Did you hear that, another village is missing? ”

"Well, I've also heard that there are already several people in the village who have disappeared, and I heard that it was done by demons, so I've stayed in the city recently and don't go out, it's not peaceful outside. ”

Hearing this, he turned around and found that it was two monks talking, one tall and one short, dressed in general clothes, and their cultivation was in the middle stage of condensation, and it looked like they were casual cultivators.

Hearing what they said, a light flashed in his eyes, and his mind instantly remembered which mountain village he had encountered on the road before, and this matter was really extraordinary.

After figuring it out, they stepped forward to ask, and the two were surprised for a while, after all, Chen Hao's cultivation was higher than the two, and he was also a decent disciple, the two of them were a little restrained for a while, and after Chen Hao's explanation, the two of them understood what was going on, and then told Chen Hao something.

After what the two of them said, they also had some understanding of this matter, which happened about a month ago, and it was also discovered by accident, because there were some traces of claws and other things in the village, and they all thought that they were done by wild beasts, because at the end of the year, food was hard to find, and some wild beasts and the like would go down the mountain to look for food.

At the beginning of the day, the attention of the people was not very high, and then several such incidents occurred in succession, and then everyone realized that the matter was not so simple, and some monks went to investigate, but they could not find anything, and the matter was closed.

Affected by such incidents, in order to avoid such incidents, some remote mountain villages began to move to other places to live, and for a while, people panicked.

After listening to what the two said, Chen Hao felt more and more that this matter was not simple, and decided to go to investigate, and after saying goodbye to the two, he stayed in the city for a while.

At this time, the Blood Pattern Pill was also refined, and after retrieving the pill, he flew directly out of the city and headed towards a certain place.

Not long after leaving the city, Chen Hao came to a small mountain village, which was one of the villages where the villagers had disappeared before.

Landing in the village, he used his spiritual sense to investigate, and found that the situation in this village was similar to the village he had encountered before, and he didn't stay here for long, Chen Hao got up and flew away.

After that, I went to several more such villages, and found some traces that were similar, apparently committed by the same perpetrator.

When observing these villages, he also found a pattern, which is that these villages are very remote, between the mountains, and it is not easy to find.

After knowing this rule, he speculated that the perpetrator might commit the crime again, and decided to find a remote mountain village to ambush to see who did it.

Half a day later, Chen Hao found a qualified village, this village has more than 40 households, the houses are surrounded by a circle, and there are some wooden fences around it, and on the edge of the fence, there are some wooden thorns sharpened with logs, which are obliquely inserted outside the fence to prevent wild beasts from attacking.

He stopped on the side for a while, then landed a mile away from the village and found a hidden place to hide.

For the next three days, Chen Hao lurked here, but he didn't find any movement, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was wrong, but fortunately, he was a monk, who had been practicing penance for many years, and was more patient than ordinary people, so he decided to stay for a few more days, and if he didn't find it again, he would go back, after all, he was not such an idle person.

After figuring it out, a new day began to lurk, at this time, it was already the fourth day, and soon it was night, and when night fell, I found that the moonlight was extremely weak tonight, and the surrounding side was dim.

At this time, Chen Hao suddenly had a feeling that the other party was likely to make a move tonight, and the whole person was suddenly full of energy, couldn't take his eyes off it, and began to observe the wind and grass around him.
