Chapter 3 Listening
Back in his cabin, Cheng Fei lay on the bed thinking about Star Emperor Grass.
Cao Tian really gave Cheng Fei a wake-up call.
Ordinary people don't dare to go to the Black Forest alone, and if they go, they just want to be a snack for wild beasts, let alone powerful demon beasts.
Although within a few dozen miles of Dongping City, they all belong to the edge of the Black Forest, and there are almost no demon beasts. But powerful beasts are not something that ordinary people can deal with.
And the most dangerous thing is not the beast, but the man!
Those who try their luck in the Black Forest, they are the most dangerous. As long as they can "eat", they generally "eat" people when they see people, and "eat" beasts when they see them.
In the Black Forest, it's a game of no rules, it's all about strength and luck. This is no different from sectarian fighting.
But now it's different, Cheng Fei is no longer a mortal, an immortal cultivator in the early stage of qi refining, with divine sense, can cover a certain range of vigilance around him.
As long as you dodge powerful beasts, there is little danger. As for demon beasts, they can only depend on their fate, hoping that they will not encounter demon beasts on the edge of the Black Forest.
So Cheng Fei planned to go shopping in the Black Forest. Maybe if you're lucky, you can also collect a Star Emperor Grass. Moreover, the Cao family's Star Emperor Grass, Cheng Fei is bound to get it, and he must not let the Cao family collect it.
But before leaving, Cheng Fei also planned to make some trouble for the Cao family.
The next day, an explosive news suddenly came out of Dongping City: the Cao family had the exact time and place of a Star Emperor Grass that would be unearthed this year.
It was found that dozens of messages appeared in the city, all of which were written on the ground with small stones. It is clear that the Cao family has the exact time and place of a Star Emperor Grass that will be unearthed this year.
As soon as the news came out, the Cao family was immediately surrounded. After Cao Li, the head of the Cao family, learned the news, he was angry. But there is nothing to be done. The handwriting made of small pebbles, you can't find the notes of the people.
Originally, he planned to secretly collect the Star Emperor Grass and present it to the city lord Li Mu. Li Mu's reward this year happened to be the same year as the unearthing time of this Star Emperor Grass mastered by the Cao family.
This can be said to be the right time, place, and people to be occupied by the Cao family. As long as you have a good relationship with the city lord, the rise of the Cao family is just around the corner.
Who wants to leak the opportunity.
For this reason, the city lord Li Mu specially sent someone to the Cao family to verify, is there such a thing as a legend in the market?
Cao Li was very embarrassed to answer!
If you want to say yes, what if you can't collect it? Who knows if the Star Emperor Grass seeds planted 30 years ago have survived. Was that piece arched by a wild boar?
If it is said that there is no wind and no waves, it is difficult for the city lord to believe it.
In fact, Li Mu sent someone to verify it, hoping that the Cao family would clearly inform him: Yes, there is no problem with this year's Star Emperor Grass.
But in the face of the people sent by Li Mu, it was difficult for Cao Li to say this.
If Li Mu sent someone to protect and collect it, then who would collect this Star Emperor Grass when it was collected? The Cao family's merits will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to reap the effect of the miracle soldier.
Cao Tian seemed to realize that this matter was related to him. He felt that Cheng Fei was behind his back, and it was he who leaked the secret.
After all, I met Cheng Fei last night, and I also mentioned betting on Xinghuang Cao. Today, the city is full of rumors, if you want to say that it has nothing to do with Cheng Fei, who will believe it?
But he didn't dare to confirm it. If you let the grandfather know that he leaked the secret of the Star Emperor Grass, he will have to lose his skin if he doesn't die.
I wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Cheng Fei and improve my fortune, but I didn't want to cause so much trouble to my family.
Cao Tian's hatred for Cheng Fei and the Cheng family added another layer.
Cheng Fei saw that the whole city was talking about it, smiled sullenly, and said in his heart: "You guys make trouble here first, I'm going to go." Star Emperor Grass is a small matter, but cultivation is a big matter!"
Now Cheng Fei's ring space has a large number of wild life items stored, ready to fight for a long time.
But before entering the Black Forest, Cheng Fei was also preparing to visit Cao's house at night.
On the cusp of the storm, maybe you can hear some useful news in Cao Jiatan. The Cao family will inevitably formulate countermeasures for this emergency, which is human nature.
After it got dark, Cheng Fei blended into the Cao family.
Now Cheng Fei is a beginner in qi refining, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can perceive, such as entering a no-man's land.
Cheng Fei has been staring at Cao Li in the dark, as long as he looks at this old cat, the rest of the rats are not worried.
Around the end of the day, Cao Li instructed someone to inform the important people in the family to go to the secret room for a meeting.
Cheng Fei was secretly happy in his heart, expecting Cao Li to tell the news about Star Emperor Grass.
followed Cao Li all the way, only to see Cao Li come to a courtyard. The small courtyard is not big, and there are three main houses in the middle.
At this time, the lights are on in the room.
After Cao Li entered the house, the door was not closed. The people in the house were greeting the head of the house, Cao Li.
I only heard Cao Li command: "After a few of them are here, you will guard outside and not allow anyone to approach the secret room." ”
"Yes!
Then Cao Li pushed open a secret door and walked in.
Cheng Fei turned to the back of the house, stood against the gable of the house, and listened carefully.
For this kind of secret room, this distance, Cheng Fei can really hear it. At this time, even Cao Li's angry breathing could be heard clearly.
Not long after, all the responsible persons of the Cao family gathered together.
I heard one person ask impatiently: "Dad, is the matter of Star Emperor Grass circulating outside true?"
Cao Li said reluctantly: "It's true! Our Cao family does have the information on the exact point and time of a cluster of Star Emperor Grass that will be unearthed this year. ”
Hearing this, the people in the room were very excited, and then they realized the current form, and they were not happy anymore, and the secret room was quiet again.
Later, I heard one person ask, "Dad, we don't know about this, only you know, how can you make it all over the city?"
Cao Li said hatefully: "It's not Xiao Tian'er's brute yet! In the early years, in order to coax him to play, I once mentioned this matter to him. At that time, it was to make the children happy, and I never wanted to cause today's catastrophe. I am responsible for this matter, and I will punish it afterwards. ”
After a while, someone said, "Dad doesn't have to blame himself! When will that Star Emperor Grass be unearthed?"
Cao Li replied: "The third day of November. ”
"So early! The map is still there?"
Cao Li said: "Yes!"
After finishing speaking, Cao Li took out a piece of silk cloth from his arms and unfolded it in public, which was a map.
Cao Li unfolded the map and laid it out on the table.
Only then did he say: "But how many pairs of eyes are staring at our Cao family now! Even if there is a picture, I don't dare to guarantee that I can bring the Star Emperor Grass back safely." Besides, thirty years have passed, and who knows if the place has been arched by wild boars. So Li Mu sent someone to ask me, but I didn't say that there was such a picture. It is better not to have his bounty than to do something that is uncertain. If he is allowed to rejoice, wouldn't he be an anti-dog!"
Everyone in the secret room nodded, and then they began to discuss how to retrieve this Star Emperor Grass.
Cheng Fei's divine sense extended to the past, kept this map firmly in his mind, and then left the Cao family.
As for the Cao family's discussion on how to get back the Star Emperor Grass, it was no longer important to Cheng Fei.
Now Cheng Fei has to go to the vicinity of the Star Emperor Grass to squat first, mainly to cultivate.
Cheng Fei knows that strength is the foundation of everything, and without strength guarantee, everything is illusory. He left Dongping City one day and entered the immortal gate, and he had to rely on his strength to speak.
