Chapter 17: Loose Practice
It was already winter, and the Green Forest Mountains at night were particularly cold, but not far from the mountain temple where Li Ku was, it was a hot scene.
Around the blazing bonfire, there were more than a dozen big men sitting around, drinking wine and eating meat, talking loudly, and the atmosphere was hot.
This is a group of monks who have gone into the Green Forest Mountains to collect fire cloud grass, and they are all familiar with each other, and now they are resting here.
Recently, because the market of Huoyun Grass has risen sharply, some guys who usually don't look down on this kind of hard work have moved some other thoughts.
Recently, Qingyun Sect has taken out a large number of Huoyun Grass, and even some talismans and pills that are not usually seen on the market have been taken out, and they do not accept the transaction of spirit stones, so they can only barter and exchange Huoyun Grass for a clear price.
These powerful talismans and pills have attracted the attention of many strongmen in casual cultivation, and in recent days, many casual cultivators who have entered the mountains to collect fire cloud grass have lost contact, and the pills and talisman seals taken out by Qingyun Sect have also been exchanged for a part.
This group of big men gathered together for this reason, although the harvest will be less in this way, but it is better to be safe, and because there are more monks collecting fire cloud grass, the fire cloud grass on the periphery has become very small, only when you enter the depths of the Green Forest Mountain Range, there is a harvest, and the danger in the depths of the Green Forest Mountain Range is not small.
"Brothers, we have a good harvest today, let's work harder tonight! ”
It was a black-faced man sitting near the campfire, his swarthy face shining in the light of the fire.
As soon as the words fell, it immediately caused a response in the surroundings, and the atmosphere next to the bonfire became more lively.
"Brother Zhang is right!
"Come and pay tribute to Brother Zhang, if it weren't for Brother Zhang to organize us, we wouldn't have gained so much. ”
At this time, a man suddenly said loudly in Ying Harmony's voice: "It is precisely because of Brother Zhang's organization that those guys who specialize in forcing us to disperse our cultivation do not interfere with our well water." ”
Everyone applauded, and it was another round of drinking, and after the wine was drunk, the man's words seemed to have attracted everyone's attention, and everyone began to talk about it.
"The guy we met when we went back to Yecheng a few days ago, do you remember it?"
opened the chatterbox, and at this time in the crowd, a guy with a red face who drank suddenly said.
"Zhao Xin, you're talking about Liu Laosan's nephew, Liu Wen!"
The person on the side thought about it and said with some uncertainty.
"That's right," Zhao Xin took another sip of wine and said, "It's him, when we went back a few days ago, didn't I still beckon him to act with us, but unfortunately he didn't agree." ”
"That kid, don't mention it, he even thinks that we have little harvest from our actions, and he doesn't want to think about it, how chaotic it is in the Green Forest Mountains now, it would be good to be alive to bring the harvest back!"
Hearing familiar people, the atmosphere around the bonfire became more lively for a while, and everyone talked about it, and began to criticize Liu Wen's ignorance.
"Alas!"
Zhao Xin couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "It's not! I had a good relationship with Liu Laosan back then, and Liu Wen, this kid has to call me uncle when he meets, but this kid is so ambitious, isn't this disgusted to follow us to gain less, he ran into the mountains alone, and he hasn't come back for several days, I heard people say that someone saw him intercepted by Wang Chongjiu!"
"Wang Chongjiu?"
As soon as these three words came out, it seemed to have some kind of magic, and suddenly the lively atmosphere around the bonfire seemed to be poured with cold water.
"was intercepted by Wang Chongjiu, that's good, that's a ruthless person who doesn't take human life seriously!"
The people on Zhao Xin's side all muttered quietly at this time, Wang Chongjiu's casual cultivation near Yecheng has some reputation, of course it is not a good reputation, this guy relies on the magic weapon Hellfire Sword that he didn't know from which monk's ruins, and the cultivation of the three realms did some murder and arson near Yecheng.
Zhao is only a small country in the Southern Wilderness, and Yecheng is a remote place, some monks have done evil things, and the court of Zhao wants to take care of it, but it doesn't have the ability to stretch out its hand so long.
Regarding Liu Wen's fate, everyone thought about it with their butts, and they could think of it, and their faces were a little embarrassed for a while, but no one noticed that it was a little far away from the bonfire, in the corner of everyone, listening to the words of discussion, one person heard talking about Wang Chongjiu, and the corners of his mouth curled up with some disdain.
"Forget it, don't mention these disappointing things," at this time, the black-faced man saw that everyone was depressed, so he said: "As long as we work together, those guys won't dare to trouble us." ”
"Yes, Brother Zhang is right. ”
Seeing the black-faced man speak, everyone reluctantly agreed.
Seeing this, the black-faced man was a little helpless, but also a little clear, a group of rabble together, as long as he could be consistent, he didn't expect anything else, after all, among these people, his cultivation was the highest.
"Brothers, do you know what this Qingyun Sect is doing when it buys so much Fire Cloud Grass?"
As soon as the black-faced man said this, he immediately attracted the attention of the people around him, and when he saw the curious people around him, the black-faced man cleared his throat and continued.
"You must know that most of the Qingyun Sect's Fire Cloud Grass is usually completed by the disciples under the sect, but this time, not only was a large number of purchases made in Yecheng, but not a single disciple of the Qingyun Sect was outside, do you know why?"
"Brother Zhang, the brothers know that you are well-informed, so you can tell the brothers directly!" Seeing that the black-faced man stopped talking, Zhao Xin took over the conversation very actively.
The black-faced man continued: "I have a relative who works as a handyman in Qingyun Residence, and I heard him say that recently the Qingyun Sect has been refining a furnace of Shangling Pill, and Qingyunzi, the head of the Qingyun Sect, wants to break through the Six Realms and become a real person in the Upper Three Realms. ”
"Top-grade elixir!"
Hearing the words of the black-faced man, the surrounding monks were all curious, but they didn't care at all about Qingyunzi breaking through the Six Realms and becoming a real person in the Seven Realms, after all, for them, Qingyunzi was too far away from them, so it was better to listen to more news of the elixir, and when the time came, it would be better to go back and meet other people and brag about it.
"That's not it, I heard that this high-grade spirit pill is worth thousands of True Yuan Pills, and it can live the dead, flesh and bones. ”
"Thousands of True Yuan Pills!"
Hearing the value of this high-grade spirit pill, the surrounding scattered cultivators exclaimed one after another, for them, they would be overjoyed to get carried away when they got a true yuan pill, and at this time, when they heard the value of this high-grade spirit pill, they all suddenly had difficulty breathing.
"That's not it, and I also heard that this Qingyunzi broke through the upper three realms, and some people don't want to see it, so now the people of the Qingyun Sect are all waiting for it, and now there are many fresh faces mixed in this green forest mountain range!"
The black-faced man watched the people around him listen attentively to what he said, and a great sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.
Just as the black-faced man said this, a terrible scream suddenly came, and the sound became louder and louder.
"Ahh.........hhh
