Head to Jinyang City
After bidding farewell to Master Wuwei, Su Huai went to the Dragon's Forest, which is located in the southwest of Chaoyang City, about 800 miles away from Chaoyang City, and is also the territory of Yanguo, Looking at the people who traveled with great interest, there were about ten people walking with Su Huai, the two closest to Su Huai, one person was two meters tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, like a standing big black bear, carrying an ax on his left shoulder, the axe handle was as thick as a bowl, and the axe body was the size of a basin, and on his right shoulder sat a thin man like a thin monkey, with his eyes closed, his legs crossed and his mouth hummed a strange tune that Su Huai couldn't understand, and the people around saw that the two were far away, and only Su Huai dared to come up and take a look.
Suddenly, I heard the thin man sitting on his shoulder say to the tall man
"Liu Er, let's go, there is a teahouse in front, let's go eat something first", the tall man didn't say anything when he heard this, and just ran forward along the road.
After hearing this, the other pedestrians jumped up and looked at it and ran along the route of the tall man, Su Huai naturally followed the crowd and ran towards the teahouse, this dragon forest is hundreds of miles away except for Jinyang City, there is only a teahouse every dozens of miles for pedestrians to rest, but recently because of the appearance of iron bone ginseng, many people in the rivers and lakes have come, and the food in each teahouse is in short supply, and I am afraid that I can't even catch the soup if I go late.
When everyone ran to the teahouse, it was already full, and there were still a few squatting outside the teahouse, but they all came to go in and ask, and before the group approached the teahouse, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper had already greeted him, and shook the towel in his hand
"Ladies and gentlemen, please," he said, leading the group to the open space next to the teahouse
"I'm really sorry for the guests, the local area is full today, so please take a look here, but don't worry, our store is enough to eat and drink."
The shopkeeper's words came out to appease a few people who were about to go crazy, and because they were not familiar with the situation along the way, they were often hungry.
Su Huai asked the store for a pound of cooked beef and a pot of tea, and when he was seven minutes full, he asked the store for five steamed buns to eat on the road, after all, there was still a day and a half of the journey to Jinyang City, and no one knew if they could buy food in the rest of the journey.
After taking the steamed bun and paying the shopkeeper, Su Huai began to look at the people near the teahouse while eating, most of the guests were in groups of three or five to eat and drink, the tall man and the thin man still no one dared to disturb, and not far from the two of them was still sitting quietly cross-legged A monk, looking gray-headed, the monk's robe on his body was also quite shabby, seeing that his body was not much smaller than the tall man, the monk sat on the ground next to the teahouse, neither to eat nor drink, and other guests who ate meat and drank wine were a little out of place.
Su Huai looked at the monk and couldn't help but think of Master Wuwei, picked up the steamed bun he had just bought and walked towards the monk,
"Boy Su Huai, if the master doesn't mind, how about eating some steamed buns together, there is a long way to go",
"Thank you, donor," the monk didn't say politely, and after thanking him, he picked up the steamed bun sent by Su Huai. Seeing this, Su Huai was even more sure of his guess, this master must have not brought a coil, and he handed it all over without counting the money bags on his body and said
"If the master doesn't dislike it, just accept these entanglements, and let Su Huai have a good relationship with the master." After hearing Su Huai's words, the monk raised his head and looked at Su Huai for a few seconds, then stuffed half of the steamed bun in his hand into his mouth, took the money bag handed by Su Huai and said
"The donor is a good person, and the Buddha will definitely bless you."
"Hehehe, thank you Master Jiyan" Listening to the monk say this, Su Huai was obviously very happy, just a few days ago, he was instructed by Master Wuwei to have his current skills, Su Huai subconsciously regarded the monk in front of him as a master,
"I don't know the master's name," Su Huai said to the monk.
"Poor monk Shiquan" said the self-proclaimed monk who stood up, patted the dust on his body and said to Su Huai
"The poor monk still has some urgent matters to do, so he will leave first" Before Su Huai could answer, he walked towards the woods on the side of the road.
Su Huai looked at the Shiquan monk who disappeared into the woods, and always felt that this monk was a little weird, and cleaned up the four remaining steamed buns on the ground, Su Huai returned to where he originally was, and when he passed by the tall man and the thin man, the thin man said with some disdain
"I thought it was hidden deeply, but it turned out to be just a stunned head," after speaking, he closed his eyes and recuperated. When Su Huai heard this, he just glanced at it and ignored it, he didn't want to get into trouble before he arrived in the Dragon's Forest.
After sitting down and resting for a while, the group walked in the direction of Jinyang City, and it was almost midnight when Su Huai and a group of people saw an inn from a distance, and when everyone sped up their pace to the door of the inn, Su Huai remembered that his silver and two were given to the Shiquan monk, and now in addition to the three steamed buns, even a set of clothes were found by the monk Fang Yuan at the beginning, and it seems that ordinary people are not worth money at all.
After wandering outside the inn for a long time, Su Huai still walked towards the woods on the side of the road, Su Huai saw the bonfire outside the woods, thinking that it was the people who came all the way, there were no inns gathered in the woods, when he walked into the woods, there were more than 20 people around the three bonfires, Su Huai found a place where there were relatively few people to sit down, in this more remote mountain forest, there are often monsters and poisonous insects, and it is more dangerous to be alone at night, so most of the people who are alone will choose a place with a large number of people or bright lightsSeeing that he was dressed like an ordinary person in the rivers and lakes, a man with a sword in his hand saw Su Huai coming, and took the initiative to move his body to signal Su Huai to sit down.
"Thank you" Su Huai said thank you and sat next to the man holding the sword, everyone else grinned at Su Huai, or the man holding the sword asked first
"I don't know what the little brother is called",
"Under Su Huai," Su Huai did not politely report his name. In the following time, everyone talked about a few pots of wine and the hares caught in the woods, talking about the length of the east and the shortness of the west, which heroes on the rivers and lakes have eliminated violence and peace again, and which villains' bounties have increased, although they are all useless, but Su Huai listened to them with relish, which is much more exciting than the storytelling in the teahouse.
I only heard a pock-faced man whisper
"I heard that the group of bandits in Qilipo was served in a pot, it seems that Xuantian Sect did it"
"Xuantian Sect has always prided itself on being the head of a famous and decent family, what's so strange," a young man said calmly with a fan in his hand
"Those bandits in Qilipo deserve to be exterminated," said the man sitting next to Su Huai with a sword gritted his teeth.
"Haha, Brother Wu, didn't you suffer something on the way to Qilipo," the man with the fan shook the fan twice, and said with some schadenfreude.
"Hmph," the man holding the sword snorted coldly, tilted his head to the side and did not answer. The pock-faced man looked at them and couldn't get to the point, so he patted his thigh and said
"I mean, will the people of Xuantian Sect stop by and collect this iron bone ginseng, the bandit leader of Qilipo is a prefecture-level master, and it is not a piece of cake to deal with us if they can destroy the bandits in Qilipo
“。 What this pock-faced man said does make sense, when Master Wuwei asked Su Huai to protect the iron bone ginseng, Su Huai was also wary that there would be masters who he couldn't deal with, but he didn't seem to see any powerful characters along the way. Just when everyone was a little careful, they only heard the man with the fan in his hand shaking the fan
"This guy don't have to be careful, as far as I know, although this iron bone ginseng has the miraculous effect of strengthening muscles and bones, the Xuanji master can be said to be invincible in the same level, if it is a ground-level master, it can also make the body like steel and iron, and the strength is greatly improved, but this iron bone ginseng has a fatal shortcoming, that is, its own medicinal power is too domineering, and at the same time, it will also make people's muscles and bones unable to change from now on, and even the internal force can not be improved too much." The man with the fan in his hand looked around at everyone and saw that everyone was listening to him, and continued with a satisfied smile
"And the disciples of Xuantian Sect all think that they are the pride of the sky, thinking about how to become a master of heaven all day long, this iron bone ginseng is simply poison to them, even if they give it away for nothing, they may not be willing to ask for it, as for the ground-level master, don't be careful, although the iron bone ginseng can improve its strength in a short time, but it limits the improvement of cultivation in the future, the improvement of the cultivation of the ground-level master means an increase in lifespan, who will have nothing to joke with their own lives", after speaking, the right hand closed the fan homeopathically' With a snap, he slapped on his left hand to show a smug look.
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at him, as long as there were no prefecture-level masters and disciples of the Great Gate Sect, they still had hope, which also made Su Huai understand why most of the people he had seen in the past few days were unentered in the rivers and lakes, and it turned out that the people who needed this iron bone ginseng were people who had no internal strength and found another way to improve their strength.
"I don't know what this brother is called" Su Huai saw that the man with the fan in his hand was quite young, and he saw that the man with the sword just now was very jealous of him, presumably his strength must not be weak, so young but with deep internal strength, this iron bone ginseng can be regarded as poison for him.
When the man with the fan heard this, he looked at Su Huai carefully, and found that he couldn't see any origin on Su Huai, so he immediately withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and hugged his fist slightly
"In the lower room Nishiki". Su Huai also hugged his fist after hearing Fang Jin's name
"It turned out to be Brother Fang Jin, and it was really a person as his name suggested, full of splendid articles."
"Little brother, you are mistaken, this guy is not filled with any splendid articles in his stomach, but a belly full of flowery intestines", the pockmarked man leaned in the direction of Su Huai, and looked at Fang Jin with a smile and continued
"This guy is called 'fishing for the moon in the water', but the little brother knows what it means." Su Huai looked at the pock-faced man and turned his head to look at Fang Jin after speaking, and found that the other party was looking at him with a smile, as if he didn't mind what the pock-faced man said just now, and even a little proud.
"The so-called flowers in the moon mirror in the water are unattainable, and Brother Fang Jin's moon fishing in the water is not mysterious."
"Hahahaha, the mystery of bullshit" As soon as Su Huai finished speaking, there was a rough laugh from the pock-faced man
"The little brother still regards him as a master, this guy does have a bit of a reputation in the rivers and lakes, but he is all stolen."
"I see, the title of Brother Fang Jin can even be fished up by the moon in the water, there must be nothing in the world that cannot be stolen", Su Huai looked at Fang Jin and said with some teasing.
Fang Jin looked a little embarrassed after listening to Su Huai's words, and said unconvinced
"Brother Su really has good eyesight, it's not a brother, I blow this world, there is no window that I can't open."
"Then this iron-boned ginseng brother is also determined to win," Su Huai said.
"Brother Su laughed, you must know that all the good things in our business want to be taken and touched, and by the way, they are worth a few dollars, but they may not want it, and there are still a few things in this world that I can't get from my foolish brother."
"For example, the seven-trick exquisite lock of Longyuan Villa," the man holding the sword said as if he had finally caught Fang Jin's weakness.
Fang Jin jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on when he heard this
"Is that a problem with the lock, is that a problem with the lock, you have the ability to bring the lock, if I can't open it, I will have your surname."
Everyone was so excited to see Fang Jin's appearance, and it was getting late, they didn't say anything, they found a tree nearby to close their eyes and recuperate, Su Huai also found a tree to rest, and it was closer to Fang Jin, the reason why Su Huai also had his own thoughts, from the previous relationship, it can be seen that Fang Jin and the pock-faced man in this group of people have the highest skills, and others dare not provoke easily, but Fang Jin is special, only the skill of Xuanji, but it is famous for the art of stealing, unless it has its own rules and bottom line, otherwise it would have been wanted or even removed。
The next day, before the fog in the woods had completely dissipated, Su Huai heard the sound of someone getting up, there was no tile on the top of the woods, there was no bed under it, and there were poisonous insects and beasts around, even if he slew, he had to keep one eye open, so just when someone made a move, there was a sound all around, and everyone woke up one after another, walking towards Jinyang City.
