Chapter 247: Hongwu Dart Bureau
Naturally, the way back was not peaceful, or the Arctic Ice Sheet was never calm.
Here, there is only one thing that happens, and that is killing, either humans kill monsters, or monsters hunt and eat humans, or humans fight each other and monsters hunt each other.
No one knows how many bones are buried beneath this snow-white snow.
Fortunately, the Arctic Ice Sheet is too vast, and it is not easy to meet other monks or demon beasts, even if it does, as long as it is not above the body stage, how many people can find him?
Hiding and hiding like this, after killing a lot of demon beasts and obtaining bad medicinal materials, after half a month, Qingshan returned to the north gate of Beiyue City again, when he came out, the guards guarding the door ignored them, but if they wanted to enter the city, they had to go through a detailed investigation.
In order to avoid trouble, Qingshan handed the guard pass, and secretly stuffed some spirit stones to him, "Be careful, not respectful, and ask a few Taoist friends to laugh." ”
Several guards saw that Qingshan was so good, and their attitude towards him changed dramatically, and the investigation of Qingshan naturally only had symbolic meaning.
But for Qingshan at this stage, the difficulty is not to enter the city, but how to avoid being recognized, now just entered the city gate, it is still relatively remote, there are not many people coming and going, so it is relatively safe, but once you get to the city, it is really hard to say.
Just when he was worried, there was a sudden commotion from the rear, and when Qingshan looked back, he saw a large group of people and horses, and there were more than a dozen carriages loaded with goods alone.
At the front of the procession, a banner with the words Hongwu Dart Bureau fluttering in the air in the wind.
This dart game, Qingshan once heard Murong Tuo mention that although the dart game is just an organization established by mortals, it is all about the business of Lingbao Pavilion and Wanbao Building, so there are a lot of monks hired in the dart game, and their strength is even above many small sects.
It is said that this dart bureau has been employing monks all year round, and all the monks who are hired, as long as they are unwilling to disclose their identities, can ask them to wear a special mask, it is said that the mask is extremely strange, not only can hide people's faces, but also completely cover people's breath, for the current Qingshan, it is really suitable.
All kinds of information flashed from Qingshan's mind like lightning, and he suddenly woke up: How did I forget this, as long as I entered the Hongwu Dart Bureau and asked them for a mask to wear, what else would I worry about?
Thinking of this, Qingshan followed them without hesitation.
Naturally, the people of the Hongwu Dart Bureau also discovered Qingshan, but there was only one person in Qingshan, so although they were a little strange, they didn't care.
Finally, when the people from the Hongwu Dart Bureau stopped to rest, Qingshan hurriedly stepped forward, but before he could get close, he was stopped, and it was a monk wearing a mask who stopped him, "Who are you, why did you follow us all the way?"
As soon as his words fell, dozens of pairs of eyes suddenly looked at Qingshan in unison.
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Qingshan hurriedly explained: "I want to come over and ask, do you still hire people?"
"You're here to apply?"
"Exactly, I don't know where I'm going to apply?"
"You're going to the city, there's no one here to help you apply. ”
Qing Shan could naturally think of this, the reason why he wanted to come over and ask was just to see if he could mix in with them, "I don't know where this Hongwu Dart Bureau is?"
"You don't know?"
"Junior brother, this is the second time I've come to Beiyue City, and the last time I just passed by in a hurry, so I'm not familiar with the city, I wonder if I can go with you?"
"No, I can't. ”
This had actually been expected by Aoyama for a long time, and if he was the leader of this team, he would never agree to let a strange monk mix in the team.
Therefore, he didn't feel too disappointed, "Then can I follow from afar?" Don't get me wrong, I really don't know the place, or you can give me a road map." ”
The man obviously felt that it was too troublesome to give the road map, not to mention, Qingshan was alone, and he was only a Yuan Infant Stage monk, and there were at least ten Yuan Infant Stage in his team, so he didn't worry about what Qing Shan could come up with.
So he replied in a muffled voice: "It's okay to follow behind, but I warn you, don't mess with me." ”
"Don't worry, I really don't have any bad intentions. ”
"There is no best. The man looked at Qingshan again, and said lightly: "We are now resting time, please stand back." ”
"Then I won't disturb your rest. This self-knowledge Qingshan still has, so as soon as the man's words fell, Qingshan retreated without hesitation, and he didn't stop until the people in the Hongwu Dart Bureau didn't look at him anymore.
But as long as they are willing to agree to follow him, he remembers that not far ahead is the ancient temple where he and Murong Tuo's brothers and sisters rested, and when he gets there, he can find a way to buy a horse first, and then find something to blacken his face, and when the time comes, riding behind them will probably not attract the attention of others.
I have to say that Qingshan's approach is indeed a bit sloppy, which he actually knows, but it is also a helpless move, in Beiyue City, first, he does not dare to be invisible, and secondly, he feels that if he is only one person, it will be easier to attract the attention of others, so he temporarily decided to follow behind the Hongwu Dart Bureau.
Maybe it's because of a familiar relationship before, maybe it's not because I'm not worried about Aoyama's ability to sabotage, maybe maybe I really believe Aoyama's words, in short, after the Hongwu Dart Bureau's convoy set off again, Aoyama got closer and closer, but no one paid attention to him.
Although the ancient temple has been abandoned for a long time, it has become the best place for passers-by, and the motorcade of the Hongwu Dart Bureau unsurprisingly chose to spend the night here.
Taking advantage of their busy time, Qingshan took the initiative to help them in order to gain their favor, although it was only a small favor, but they were all seen in the eyes of Hongwu Dart Bureau and others, so their attitude towards Qingshan was no longer as cold as before.
In this way, Qingshan just took the opportunity to get close to them, and after some small talk, everyone finally got to know each other.
After chatting, Qingshan asked the monk not far from him, "Brother Luo, do you know where horses are sold around here?"
This monk's surname is Luo, his name is Xiang, in this team, he is one of the three monks who do not wear masks, but compared with the other two shy teenagers, Luo Xiang's personality is much more bold, so Qingshan chatted with him for a few words, and the two began to call him brother and brother, instead of Taoist friends and Taoist friends It sounds so awkward.
Luo Xiang smiled: "Why bother so much if you want horses?"
Qingshan was quite surprised, "What did Brother Luo say about this?"
Luo Xiang asked rhetorically, "Have you ever been to this place?"
"After once. ”
"Then you don't know this place. ”
"I wonder what's so special about this place?"
"Hehe, if you want to say that there is a special place, it is that the fights that take place in this place are much more special. ”
Qingshan was quite surprised, "Isn't it forbidden to fight in Beiyue City?"
"Beiyue City is so big, who can manage so many places?"
"That's true, but does it have anything to do with horses?"
Luo Xiang smiled and patted Qingshan's shoulder, "Do you think, since there are often fights in this place, there will naturally be dead people, isn't that the truth?"
"Well, the sword has no eyes, as long as there is a conflict, it is normal to kill a few people. ”
"That's right, besides, Beiyue City is different from other places, here the monks can't fly with the sword, you say, what do they usually do?"
Needless to say, Qingshan has already understood, since he can't fly, there are only two best means of transportation, either demon beasts or horses.
Besides, if there are often dead people in this place, there must be horses left, and he doesn't dare to ask for them, and he doesn't have the ability to control them, but if he's lucky, he might be able to find horses nearby.
"Thank you Brother Luo for telling me, little brother will go around and take a look. ”
Qingshan had just left, and two other young men not far behind him who were not wearing masks surrounded Luo Xiang, and one of them asked, "Old Luo, do you really think there are horses around here?"
The person who asked the question was named Tian Le, a very optimistic young man, and the young man who came with him was called Lin Ming, and he was always smiling, "Lao Luo, you won't be talking nonsense, right?"
Luo Xiang glared, "When did Lao Tzu talk nonsense?"
Lin Ming pursed his lips and said, "There is a mass grave not far behind, people feel cautious when they stay there, do you think the horses will stop in that kind of place?"
Tian Le also smiled and said: "That's it, Lao Luo, I think you can't be a good person this time." ”
Luo Xiang said unhappily: "Nonsense, even if there are really no horses behind, will he still blame me for this?"
Lin Ming rolled his eyes and replied leisurely: "It's hard to say, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what is going on in their hearts?"
Luo Xiang was moved by what he said, but he replied stubbornly: "Where is so much nonsense? Lao Tzu is too lazy to think so much." ”
The three of them were talking nonsense here, and Qingshan had already left the ancient temple. As Lin Ming said, not far behind the ancient temple is a mountain forest that is extremely rare in the north, and the mountain forest is full of tombs without names, which looks extremely gloomy.
Qingshan was greatly surprised by this, and thought to himself: Could it be that these tombs are buried by people who died near the ancient temple? But who helped them collect the corpses? Could it be that there are still people in this tomb?
No one knows if there are people living in it, but many people have guessed that these tombs are indeed buried near the ancient temple, otherwise, where would there be so many tombs in such a remote place?
As you gradually enter, the wind inside is gusting, blowing cold on your body, which makes people feel a chill.
Even if Aoyama was a monk, even if he was brave enough, walking in such a place full of graves would send a chill down his spine.
All the way deeper, the horses were gone, the monsters were gone, but the graves were numb when they saw the green mountains.
"Alas, in such a place, even I don't want to stay longer, let alone a horse?"
Unable to find a trace of a horse for a long time, Qingshan could only sigh and turn around and walk back in desperation.
