Competing for the Stream Chapter 116 Soul Hunting Picture Scroll
On this day, Dong Xiaoping bought some travel items in the West Market, and when he was far away from home, he saw Ge Xiaoyue looking anxiously at the door, "Isn't there something going on at home?" Dong Xiaoping was puzzled in his heart, and his feet unconsciously sped up.
Ge Xiaoyue's eyes were sharp, and she saw Dong Xiaoping from a distance, and immediately greeted her.
It turned out that two visitors had come to the house for the first time, and they had been greeted by Ge Xiaoyue to the guest room and waited for a long time.
He was very surprised, he had been concentrating on cultivation for the past few years, and he had no contact with anyone other than the members of the mutual aid association.
When he came to the guest room, Dong Xiaoping saw a man and a woman, about twenty years old, who were also monks of the Young Spirit Realm, who looked a little familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere, but they couldn't remember them for a while.
When the woman saw Dong Xiaoping, she immediately put down the teacup and smiled at him: "Senior Brother Dong, don't come to harm?"
At this time, Dong Xiaoping finally remembered who these two people were. They were the first time they participated in the rally, but they were pulled to do the task on the way to the two outer disciples who were accidentally rescued by Zhao Yuan and Zhao Yuan by the lake, Huang Fenglan and Zhang Tianfan.
He still had a good impression of these two people, so he warmly beckoned the two to sit down for tea.
Dong Xiaoping knew that the two of them had been outer disciples a few years ago, and it was impossible for them to come to him for no reason to make friends with such a named disciple, but the strange thing was that after greeting for a long time, neither of them mentioned why they were visiting, as if they really came to visit friends.
After some greetings, Dong Xiaoping saw that the two still did not explain the reason, and he was very uneasy, so he had to ask himself.
Dong Xiaoping put down the teacup, paused, changed his previous relaxation, and said solemnly: "The two of you came to the door today, I'm afraid there is something important, right?"
Huang Fenglan and Zhang Tianfan were not surprised to see Dong Xiaoping's expression, as if they had known it for a long time, they glanced at each other, and they both made the appearance of wanting to say something. Dong Xiaoping understood, so he asked Ge Xiaoyue, who was waiting on the side, to leave first and closed the door.
"Senior Brother Dong, it's not that we are playing tricks, it's just that this matter may cause you some trouble, so it's better to be careful. Huang Fenglan explained.
Dong Xiaoping's heart tightened, and he thought to himself, could it be that the matter of the immortal mound was discovered by these two people?
Huang Fenglan didn't know what he was thinking, but he took out a picture scroll by himself, and after unfolding it, there was a young man with a stick in his hand, and a bamboo forest was painted in the background.
Although this painting is a little blurry, it can probably be seen that the young man in this painting is seven points similar to Dong Xiaoping, but he is younger than him.
"This?" Dong Xiaoping was very puzzled, and motioned to Huang Fenglan with his eyes to give him an explanation.
Huang Fenglan understood what he meant, so she talked about it as it was.
It turned out that Huang Fenglan and Zhang Tianfan had been on a smooth path since the battle on the lakeside that day, and they had risen to the seventh layer of the Shaoling Realm in less than four years.
As a disciple of the seventh level of the Shaoling Realm, what he wants must be to break the realm, but it is not so easy to break the realm, and he needs at least one spirit pill.
Shangling Pill is difficult to buy, and the usual way to obtain it is to rely on the contribution of the sect to get a chance to accept the reward.
In order to accumulate contributions to the sect, the two of them have been taking on some dirty work for most of the year, and one of the tasks is to be an inspector.
The main job of the patrol envoy is to investigate whether there is anyone secretly cultivating, and in addition to this, there is also an important task, which is to investigate the murder case involving Qingbo's disciples.
The Patrol Envoys will use a Soul Catcher scroll that will automatically absorb the spirits of some of the dead monks wandering around and imprint their last memories on it.
The higher the cultivation of the deceased, the clearer the picture will be.
When the two of them were patrolling the bamboo forest outside the East Market, they collected this picture.
At this time, Dong Xiaoping's heart turned sharply, thinking that the killing of Yu Tianjun a few years ago was finally exposed.
Although Zhao Yuan arranged for him to do this, and the deceased was only a registered disciple who had not yet been registered, he would be punished to some extent, and a few years of hard labor were indispensable.
However, since these two people came to visit him, instead of directly handing over the scroll to the Shouxuan Hall, there must be a way to solve it.
"Senior Brother Dong, this picture scroll will be handed over to you, and we will keep our mouths shut...... It's not too early, and we have to continue to inspect, so I won't bother and leave. ”
After Huang Fenglan handed out the scroll, she simply got up and was about to leave, and Zhang Tianfan also stood up.
Dong Xiaoping was very surprised, seeing that the two of them were really planning to leave, he hurriedly said: "Thank you two great graces, if there is anything difficult for the two of you, maybe the younger brother can do some meager efforts......
Although I don't understand the reason for these two people's actions at present, but they sold such a big personal favor to themselves, Dong Xiaoping really wanted to thank the two, and his words were very sincere.
Huang Fenglan smiled and said, "Don't say anything big, the two of us still owe you the grace of saving your life!"
The incident happened suddenly, and Dong Xiaoping didn't think about how to "repay" the two, thinking about going back and looking for another opportunity, so he didn't continue to stay.
After Huang Fenglan and Zhang Tianfan came out, they continued their inspection work.
When the two walked to a more remote place, Zhang Tianfan suddenly complained in a low voice: "Senior Sister Huang, I'll just say, you see that Dong Xiaoping didn't say anything at all, it's better to hand over the picture scroll to the door, and you can make a little contribution." ”
Huang Fenglan was a little annoyed and said, "Why do you still mention this, people have saved our lives before!"
Zhang Tianfan muttered: "So what? Let's be realistic, he is only a third-level cultivator, and the two of us are seventh-level consummation, what is the use of his favor to us?"
Huang Fenglan said earnestly: "Senior Brother Zhang...... Let's not look at things too superficially, you don't know his ability, I believe that his real strength must be more than three layers, besides, I heard that he is very hard in the background, let's hand it over and don't know what the final result will be......"
Zhang Tianfan sighed: "Alas, okay, anyway, the matter has come to this...... Let's step up inspections, the sect contribution we need is still far away!"
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Two of you, please stay." ”
The person who came was Dong Xiaoping, who had sorted out his clues.
After the two left, Dong Xiaoping sorted out the whole thing: no matter what the two of them thought about selling him this big favor, and regardless of whether the other party really remembered the kindness of helping a few years ago and did not report the discovery, anyway, Dong Xiaoping already knew their needs from the words of conversation, that is, "they lack money", and the last thing Dong Xiaoping lacked at this time was money. Since this matter can be solved with money, it is naturally better.
In fact, Dong Xiaoping secretly kept an eye on it, he had been following the two of them for a long time, and the conversation they had just now was naturally heard. Therefore, he is glad that he made the decision to give them a certain benefit as a thank you.
It can be seen from the words of the two just now that it is estimated that Huang Fenglan is sincerely repaying the kindness of helping a few years ago, but Zhang Tianfan is not. If Dong Xiaoping hadn't gone here, maybe one day, this kid would have to be exposed today.
The two looked back and saw that it was Dong Xiaoping, and their faces showed differences. Because the two of them have been away from Dong Xiaoping's house for a while, and they have also walked a long distance because they are on patrol, and the direction has been changing. But Dong Xiaoping was able to find them accurately, and before he made a sound, neither of them even found that there was anyone behind him.
Dong Xiaoping took in the looks of the two, thinking that it would be better to give them a little deterrence, and the combination of grace and power has always been the best way to buy people's hearts.
Dong Xiaoping came to the two of them quietly, took out the money bag that had been prepared from his arms, handed the money bag to the two, and said sincerely: "A little bit of heart, thank you two for helping me Dong, and ask the senior brother and sister to accept it." ”
Dong Xiaoping didn't care about Zhang and Huang's calculations, in addition to the follow-up visit just now, now he really wanted to thank them.
Zhang and Huang were reluctant to accept it at first, especially Huang Fenglan, who shirked it several times.
After some politeness, the two saw that Dong Xiaoping did not say how much money was in the money bag, but only persuaded the two to accept their hearts, thinking that it was estimated that there was not much, so they no longer refused. Under Huang Fenglan's nod, Zhang Tianfan happily took the money bag in Dong Xiaoping's hand.
Zhang Tianfan was stunned as soon as he received the money bag in his hand, with this weight and the faint aura coming from his hand, he knew that the money bag contained Mithril, not the ordinary silver taels that he and Huang Fenglan thought.
After a short period of stunned, Zhang Tianfan could no longer hide the ecstasy in his heart, his face was full of smiles, and he said in a loud voice: "Senior Brother Dong, you are too polite!"
Huang Fenglan saw Zhang Tianfan's series of expression changes, and guessed a lot, and a happy smile appeared on her face, and she was glad that she had handled this matter.
There were ten taels of secret silver in the money bag, this number was set by Dong Xiaoping after repeated thinking, although he could take out more, but he didn't want to expose his worth in front of the two.
Ten taels of Mirith, for the outer disciples, even if they take on an extremely dangerous task, they may not be able to receive so many rewards even if they come back after completing the task. In the eyes of Huang Fenglan and Zhang Tianfan, Dong Xiaoping, as a registered disciple, was able to take out so much Mithril at one time, which shows his "strength".
Dong Xiaoping thought that he was going to go out, and Zhang and Huang often went out on missions, so they wanted to know a little bit about the outside world, so they prepared to make friends with the two of them through today's events. Moreover, the closer the relationship, the less likely it is for secrets about them to be leaked.
Seeing that the two of them accepted the money bag, Dong Xiaoping did not rush to leave, but told the two about his plans to go out in the near future.
Huang Fenglan and Zhang Tianfan had just received Dong Xiaoping's high income, and they were not in a hurry to continue their inspections at this time.
"Senior Brother Dong, do you have any important business that you need to go out?" Huang Fenglan was the first to ask.
"That's right, junior brother, with your current cultivation, if it's not anything important, it's best not to go out of Qingbo Lake, it's not peaceful outside. ”
Dong Xiaoping completely felt the dissuasion of the two, which was also expected by him, and he also did his homework in order to go out.
On the continent he came to, there were hundreds of sects of all sizes, and there were more than a dozen sects like Qingbo Gate, which had jurisdiction over more than five countries. Let's not talk about the chaos between the hundreds of sects due to the competition for resources and territory, let's just say that the scattered cultivators in various regions, in order to compete for resources and interests in the cracks between the various sects, which one can be a soft-hearted person.
Seeing that Dong Xiaoping didn't speak, Zhang Tianfan continued: "Senior brother, if you encounter any difficulties, can you tell me one or two, maybe my sister and I can help my junior brother." ”
"Senior Brother Zhang is right, although the two of us don't have much power, but thanks to the fact that we often go out on missions, we still know a lot about things outside Qingbo Lake, and we may be able to provide you with some information. ”
Dong Xiaoping slowly opened his mouth and said, "It's not a secret, the junior brother did encounter some difficulties in cultivation and couldn't find a way in the door, so he wanted to go out and try his luck to see if he could have a chance." ”
