Chapter 124: A 10,000-gold bounty
In the morning breeze, a three-zhang high bamboo pole pole provoked a vermilion flag, and the words "Wangxian Tower" were written on it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the back hall, Shopkeeper Xiao was lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed, playing with two crystal clear red jade beads comfortably with one hand.
"Shopkeeper, it's not good! It's not good!" shouted hurriedly from outside the door.
With the sound of footsteps rushing in, the shopkeeper rushed into the back hall in a hurry......
Shopkeeper Xiao raised his eyebrows, suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"
The shopkeeper gasped and said, "No...... But...... It could be worse than that!"
The calm and comfortable expression on the shopkeeper Xiao's face suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at the shopkeeper and saw that he was sweating profusely and his lips were white. Obviously, I only went to the bamboo forest twenty paces away, but it looked like I had just climbed a few mountains. Seeing that he seemed to have an urgent matter to announce in a hurry, Shopkeeper Xiao asked urgently:
"Don't sell it!
The shopkeeper kept wiping his sweat and gasped: "Yesterday...... Last night, that drunkard broke the Ecstasy Formation, and the entire Purple Bamboo Forest was destroyed!"
The red jade bead that the shopkeeper Xiao rotated slowly stopped with one hand.
"Where's the dragon and bearded tiger guarding the forest?"
"...... He took it. ”
Shopkeeper Xiao opened his mouth wide in shock, as if someone had stuffed a rotten persimmon, and a red jade bead in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Although the Dragon Whisker Tiger has lost a few wisps of soul, it is an ancient spirit beast after all, how can it be easily recovered. Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"What you see with your own eyes, it's true!"
The morning breeze was slightly cool, but Shopkeeper Xiao had already begun to sweat, and beads of sweat the size of beans were running down his pale face one by one. There are only twenty people in the world who can break through the Ecstasy Array, and there will definitely be no more than five people in the world who can subdue the Dragon and Whisker Tiger.
Shopkeeper Xiao never thought that the alcoholic young man he met yesterday would be one of them.
Wiping the sweat off his head, Shopkeeper Xiao had an expression of great calamity, and muttered in a low voice: "Fortunately, I didn't make a move yesterday." ”
The shopkeeper picked up the two red jade beads that fell on the ground, handed them to the shopkeeper Xiao, and said in a tone that lasted for the rest of his life...... I can't afford to offend. ”
The two were frightened, and suddenly heard a sharp sound of horses' hooves, and stopped outside the Wangxian Tower.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves coming so quickly, the shopkeeper got up and took a look, only to see two horses running in the distance.
The two horses were snow-white, and there was not a trace of variegated color visible from head to tail, reflecting the starlight. When a horse arrived at the door, he suddenly raised his head and let out a long neigh.
The neighing of the horse stopped suddenly, and one person reined in the horse, and laughed loudly: "Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come to harm?"
With a burst of laughter, a yellow-haired old man in a Taoist uniform jumped off the saddle.
Shopkeeper Xiao glanced up at the yellow-haired old man and sighed:
"Thanks to Brother Huangmei's blessing, Xiao is still alive. ”
As he spoke, Shopkeeper Xiao turned his gaze to the other horse, only to see an elderly scribe with a clear face sitting on the horse, wearing a green cloth brocade official robe, who seemed to be over half a hundred years old. At such an age, he still rides a horse, instead of sitting in a sedan chair, which shows that his body is strong and strong.
The shopkeeper looked at the old scribe, and couldn't help but feel familiar, as if he had just seen it somewhere.
The old scribe leaned down and dismounted, came to the door of the Wangxian Tower with his hands on his back, and slowly stopped.
Shopkeeper Xiao looked at the official robe on his body and asked, "......Who is this lord?"
Huangmei Taoist introduced: "Great Zhou Taishi, Xi Bo Jifu." ”
Shopkeeper Xiao was slightly stunned, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "It turned out that the Taishi arrived, and he missed the welcome." ”
"No need to be polite. Xi Bo Jifu Shi Ran walked over, his old eyes flashed with wisdom, "The old man came here today just for one person." ”
Shopkeeper Xiao's thick eyebrows frowned, and he said with a wry smile: "Now the small shop doesn't even have a customer. I don't know who the Taishi is looking for?"
Xi Bo Jifu replied: "The master of the Spiral Spirit Pavilion, one of the twenty-five elders of the Interception Sect, is named Su Ji. ”
Shopkeeper Xiao thought for a moment and muttered, "The shop hasn't opened for two months. There was a drunkard yesterday, but he said he had no way or a faction......"
Huangmei Daoist glanced at Xi Bojifu excitedly, and smiled with relief: "It should be this person!"
Xi Bojifu said: "The old man was ordered by Zhou Tianzi to invite the master of the Xuanling Pavilion to enter the palace to treat the princess's stubborn illness. ”
The shopkeeper was suddenly stunned, and muttered in the ear of the shopkeeper Xiao: "That drunkard is really amazing, even the princess of Zhou Tianzi has to find him for treatment." ”
Shopkeeper Xiao's face also changed, and he hurriedly said: "I didn't expect so many distinguished customers to come to the shop recently, please come in and sit inside." This has a hundred years of aging of the gods poured. ”
Hearing the words "immortal fall", Xi Bojifu's face showed a touch of emotion, and he had fallen into the memories of the past.
At this moment, Su Ji was wandering alone in the capital of Pickaxe.
There is less than a week left before the one-year appointment with Qingli.
Where will Qingli appear, and how will he appear?
Su Ji doesn't care about these problems now, what he is most concerned about at the moment is how to fill his stomach. Obviously, he ate a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas yesterday, but he became hungry this morning, which made Su Ji a little envious of those monks who didn't need to eat.
Now, although the meteor robe on his body was still very shiny, he was penniless.
If he wants not to go hungry and want to live, he can only find a way to make money by himself.
Walking on the bustling streets of Hojing, Su Ji began to think about how to be self-reliant, but instead of finding a place to make money, he found many places to spend money, after all, he has always been better at the latter.
Stopping and going, Su Ji found that the streets and alleys of Hokyung were all plastered with the same notices, which seemed to have just been posted last night.
Early in the morning, many people in the market rushed to gather around and point at the notice. There were a lot of people gathered in front of each poster, and you could see a black patch everywhere.
Su Ji couldn't squeeze in at all, but fortunately, an enthusiastic citizen read the contents of the notice aloud:
"The princess is suffering from a stubborn illness and has begged famous doctors for treatment. A bounty of 10,000 gold shells, 1,000 catties of pearls and jade, and the title of Viscount of the Great Zhou. ”
Su Ji couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this was simply ten times more than the reward for finding Shenhou!
It's a pity that Su Ji can't cure at all. Recalling that the eldest brother "Su Bo", known as "Hades", hung the pot to help the world, and was the best at saving people, but he died of illness while treating the plague. Later, Hades Chou Tang was taken over by Lin Zi, and as long as a pair of medicines could cure the disease. However, now the two miracle doctors of Chaoge are no longer there.
The people who joined in the fun also sighed at the bounty like Su Ji, and finally could only shake their heads.
After a while, the onlookers dispersed, and only a man in white was left next to the notice.
The man in white didn't look at the notice, but stared at a wall in a daze.
Quietly came behind the man in white, Su Ji looked through the fox pupils, and saw that there was actually a notice posted on the wall, which was a notice that was invisible to mortals.
Su Ji glanced at it roughly, this notice was wanted for a thief who specialized in stealing the magic weapon of the immortal family, nicknamed "Divine Thief Night Linglong". This is the most mysterious wanted notice Su Ji has ever seen, because there is no portrait of a wanted criminal on the notice, it seems that no one knows what "Ye Linglong" looks like.
What interested Su Ji the most was not Ye Linglong, but the man in white who was reading the notice. Looking at the outfit of the man in white, he is obviously a person in the teachings.
Su Ji was about to inquire about the whereabouts of the White Wolf King, so he followed behind the man in white.
The man in white stopped from time to time as he walked. The action is not admiring the street scene at all, but like avoiding someone, and it seems to be checking the direction. Normal people would never walk like this.
Where is he sneaking around?
Su Ji followed the man in white and walked around and came to a dark alley. As he walked along the road, he suddenly noticed an empty dead end in front of him, and suddenly stopped.
"Obviously, it's going in this direction......" Su Ji said to himself.
At this time, a strange man's voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Are you looking for me?"
Su Ji suddenly looked back and saw the man in white slowly walking out from the other side of the alley.
