Chapter 319: Xuannu Market (2)
"Inside the water pool, then how do we get in? There are people guarding outside, aren't there all kinds of powerful demonic beasts inside?" asked Ruan Zun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He looked up and saw that he was on the embankment of the water, and below the shore was the surging lake. Large expanses of wild reeds as high as more than zhang or even several zhang are clustered layer by layer, one after another, like a large bewildering labyrinth, spreading out into the distance.
And the layers of fog, from near to far, gradually faded to thickened. In the distance, all the water and wild reeds are invisible, and some are only white. Occasionally, you can hear the howl of a monster coming from nowhere.
Song Jiang took out an object from the acceptance ring, used his spiritual power, and threw it far into the mist of wild reeds in the middle of the lake. The thing fell into the reeds with a shrill whistling sound.
The two spiritual men from the Yuncheng County Ya Arrest Room on the nearby sentry post hurriedly came down from the watchtower when they heard the sound. He asked from afar, "Is it Brother Song?"
"Exactly. Song Jiang said to the two, "Knowing that the two of you are on duty today, it is convenient to go into the water and mooring." ”
Then the two men came up to them, one of them with a rough face, purple skin, and a bandit's beard, and the other with a long red beard. Both of them are junior spiritual master cultivators.
Song Jiang pointed to the purple-skinned man and introduced to Ruan Zun: "These two people are the heads of the county government, this is the head of the infantry, a good light body kung fu, over the mountains and mountains, it is easy to do it, and people give them the nickname of the winged tiger." He pointed to another red-faced and long-bearded man and said, "This is Zhu Tong, the head of the horsemen of the county government, who makes a good Daguan knife, and looks like the martial god Guan Shengye of the Three Kingdoms, and is known as the beautiful bearded prince." ”
"Brother Song has something to do, just say goodbye. Zhu Tong said, glanced at him, saw Ruan Zun alone, and asked strangely, "Brother Song went over this time, don't bring more people and goods?"
"It's not about doing business with those scoundrels this time. Song Jiang said, "It's to take my brother to see for a long time." A finger at Ruan Zun.
Lei Heng smiled: "I see, I said, it's not the agreed period yet." ”
Song Jiang threw a bag of gold at each of them, "I have come and gone here, and the two brothers can keep a good mouth for me." Although I said hello to the Demon Suppression Palace, I still have to do things in place, and if I am stabbed out, I really can't get over my face. ”
The two accepted the gold and said, "Brother Song, don't worry. You can't believe others, our brother, can't you believe it?"
As he was talking, he heard the sound of swaying oars among the reeds on the lake. In a few moments, a fishing boat rowed through the gap between two reeds and headed for the shore. The fishing boat slowly approached the shore, and the captain, wearing a hat and a coat, gently knocked the oar on the side of the boat three times.
"Zhu Gui is here, let's go. Song Jiang said goodbye to Lei Zhu and the others, took Ruan Zun's hand, went down the embankment, went to the lake, and jumped on the fishing boat.
Without saying a word, the captain named Zhu Gui pushed the long oar to the shore, and the fishing boat left the shore and plunged into the vast reeds and mist again.
"Big brother, you're really rich. Every time I see you, a lot of the time, you're making money, either crystals or gold. Ruan Zun said.
Song Jiang was stunned, and then snorted, and said: "Your eldest brother and I, if we have no money in hand, or if we have money but don't give up money, how can we have the reputation of fighting righteousness and squandering wealth and raining Song Jiang and Song Gongming in time?"
Ruan Zun thought to himself, this position of the director of Yuncheng County is not a shortage of oil and water, and the real estate industry in this era has not been carried out at all, where did you get the money?
As if to see his thoughts, Song Jiang explained: "Don't worry, your eldest brother and my money are not obtained by killing people and setting fires." For example, there are water cowards in this water pool, but the outside is sealed by the Demon Suppression Hall and the government, and it is not a problem for them to eat and wear, but in other aspects, it is difficult to produce their own water in the water pool, so they need to exchange with the outside world. My identity happens to be able to take care of their needs, as well as the needs of the outside government. In such a link, there will be oil and water profits. ”
"The Demon Suppression Hall and the government outside know about their existence, and are they still allowed to do business with them?" Ruan Zun really didn't expect it.
"They are able to survive and live in this treacherous water, and they are naturally very capable. What the Demon Suppression Hall wants to kill is a demonic beast, and what it has to do is to charge a high entry spirit crystal fee for profit, what does it have to do with them? And now the terrain inside is treacherous, foggy, and overgrown with water reeds, it is a spirit general spirit handsome level powerhouse, and it is very easy to get lost and trapped in it when you enter it. Naturally, the Demon Suppression Hall did not dare to go deeper. The two sides are deadlocked, each taking what he needs. Song Jiang said.
"The water inside mainly needs to be exchanged for salt, tea, refined iron and even Shen Iron and other spiritual soldiers outside, as well as all kinds of medicines. And the demon suppression hall and government mansion outside need them to give their lives inside, and exchange their blood for the corpses of demonic beasts, minions, elixir plants, or something. In the outside world, this is basically sky-high. However, the two sides are thieves and thieves to each other, and it is difficult to trust each other. How does the transaction work? This requires a mutually acceptable intermediary. Song Jiang pointed to himself, "And I am the person they all believe in." ”
"Why?" Ruan Zun asked, "Does the eldest brother already know those water cowards inside?"
"I don't know it. Song Jiang said, "However, they all recognize my name as Song Gongming." Pointing at himself, "Profit for fame, and fame for profit, now, you understand." ”
Ruan Zun nodded, high, really high. This Brother Song's mind is really not ordinary.
"Of course. This can only be done in private. Song Jiang added, "It must not be put on the table." As soon as it comes out of the table, the entire Jeju government will face a catastrophe. ”
The fishing boats passed through the bushes of tall bushes, and the surroundings were quiet, but they could always feel the breath of different magical beasts, moving around, as if they were paying attention to them.
"Didn't you say that there are a lot of powerful demonic beasts in this pool of water now?" Ruan Zun was a little apprehensive in his heart, "We just broke in like this, not afraid of being attacked by them?"
"The waters of Liangshan Shuibo are very vast now. The captain named Zhu Gui, who had been silent, replied in a hoarse voice, "Moreover, because the wild reeds grow wildly and the fog is extremely thick, no matter which side you enter, it is like entering a labyrinth." Not only the human spirits, but also the various magical beasts in the park also suffered from it. We take this route, which is the fewest Warcraft in this place, and the weakest strength. ”
"And," he added, "my ship is coated with the urine of the water crocodile king on the east side, and ordinary demonic beasts, when they smell the breath, they are frightened first, how dare they come to harass me." ”
The fishing boat walked around the heavy reeds in twists and turns, sometimes even turning left and right, or even retreating some distance to find a gap between the reeds, so that they could penetrate and continue to move forward. Ruan Zun couldn't help but sigh, in such a terrain, if there was really no one who knew the terrain to lead the way, just being trapped could completely trap thousands of people in it.
Song Jiang then instructed Ruan Zun: "After we arrive at Liangshan Li'er Washui Village, we must first visit their owner and give gifts. After doing this, you can ask to go to the Xuannu Market. The character of the owner of this water village is a little spirited, so we must not lack it in etiquette. ”
That Zhu Gui said: "Song Abbot, you are our God of Wealth, and the lord of the Wang Zhai only has respect for Abs, and he has no intention of being angry." The name of the priest is good, the name of the God of Wealth is Zhao Gongming, and the name of the priest is Song Gongming, both of which are Gongming, isn't it the God of Wealth?"
Song Jiangha smiled.
At this time, the bow of the ship touched the bottom, and in the dense fog ahead, a cliff stone appeared, and I saw the water village and arrived.
