Chapter 19: The Snow Dragon Orb
Time is running, and it is the Shangyuan Festival, Qi Dezhong rarely chooses to go out and leave Xianxia Temple today. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cultivation is not only in the Taihua Lingxu, but also in the rolling red dust to wash the state of mind, Qi Dezhong has learned a lot over this period of time, but has not yet been able to integrate it, sitting and cultivating is nothing more than nourishing mana, if you want to avoid the accident of the original stage, Qi Dezhong also needs to accumulate more.
Last night, the snow was falling, and it was still cold, but the atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival was lively, and the people of Changlin County went out early to sweep the streets.
Qi Dezhong walked as he pleased, walked through the streets and alleys to a teahouse, sat down and rested, but there was no lively atmosphere around him.
There are seven or eight old tables and chairs in the teahouse, and there are more than a dozen sturdy men sitting in a row against the wall.
The men ordered tea, but they were not in much interest in tasting it, but instead looked around vigilantly.
Qi Dezhong had a Jueyun Sword hanging on his waist, and he looked like a high-roller walking in the rivers and lakes, and as soon as he entered the teahouse, he was targeted by everyone, and Qi Dezhong didn't care at all, and poured himself a drink.
Maybe it was because these men stared at Qi Dezhong for a long time and couldn't see the clue, and then their vigilance relaxed a little, so they started talking softly-
"The young castle lord is really, the weather is cold, and it is the Shangyuan Festival, but we want to come out at this time, then the Snow Dragon Ball will not run, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Haven't you heard? The group of guys from Eagle Yang Mountain also came down the mountain, saying that they wanted to take the Snow Dragon Ball in their pockets!"
"Phew, no matter how powerful Yingyangshan is, wasn't he still beaten back to his hometown by our Iron and Stone Fort back then?
"The old castle lord was in a hurry, and he couldn't take care of Hu Laoba's gang of traitors, but forced them to take refuge in Yingyang Mountain, if not, where would they dare to compete with us for the Snow Dragon Ball?"
Qi Dezhong's perception was keen, and he had already heard what they were talking about, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Since ancient times, there have been many strongmen and bandits in the area of Changlin County, and the government has suppressed them inexhaustibly, and it is common for everyone to be connected with the mountain bandits, one to plunder the merchants on the wild roads, and the other to sit in the town to squeeze the foreign merchants.
The Eagle Yang Mountain and Iron Stone Castle in the mouths of these men are two powerful gangs in Changlin County, and at present, it seems that they are fighting over something called "Snow Dragon Ball", and the situation is about to erupt.
Qi Dezhong had never heard of the Snow Dragon Ball, perhaps because the cultivator had another name for this object, which somewhat aroused his attention.
Just as Qi Dezhong was thinking, the people of Ironstone Fort talked about this thing-
"The young castle lord is really true, he was deceived by a foreign wild Taoist priest, he had to find some snow dragon balls, he had to apprentice to practice, I see, this iron stone castle had to be destroyed in the hands of the young castle master!"
"Don't talk nonsense! That wild Taoist priest is really powerful! I saw that he could become a big beauty by cutting a paper figure, so it's no wonder that the young castle master is obsessed. ”
"In other words, I don't want to provoke these people, legend has it that cultivators are unpredictable, who knows if we will take our lives because we didn't find the Snow Dragon Ball?"
"As soon as you say that, I'm also scared, so don't delay any longer, if you want me to say go directly to the door of Duobao Pavilion and block it, see who can still rob us?"
"That's right! The young castle lord is soft-hearted, no matter what kind of person he is supporting in Duobao Pavilion, we will kill the door, and even the local government will not dare to say anything!"
Qi Dezhong, who was calm and calm in the corner on the side, was slightly angry when he heard this, but immediately turned into a sigh: "When I left the mountain, I heard that the master once said that the turmoil in the world was coming, and now I see that the boundary of Changlin County is not very peaceful, and the bandits enter and leave the county in broad daylight as if they are in a no-man's land, and there seem to be cultivators with mana involved behind it. ”
Qi Dezhong originally just wanted to act as a bystander, if it was just a gang fight, he didn't need to get involved at all, but now there are other variables, which makes him more interested in finding out.
Seeing the group of Iron Stone Castle leave the teahouse, Qi Dezhong quietly followed behind, and with his ability enough, these bandits were unaware.
As for their target, Duobao Pavilion, it was nothing more than a shop in the city that specialized in selling rare and antiques, but now there was a crowd of people outside the door, and there were dozens of fierce bandits on the south and north sides of the street, holding sharp weapons and confronting each other.
Qi Dezhong ignored the struggle between Yingyang Mountain and Iron Stone Castle, walked to the backyard of Duobao Pavilion, and turned over and entered the inner middle school.
The owner of Duobao Pavilion is surnamed Zhang, and he has always been a businessman, and not long ago he went south to buy it, and accidentally found a white jade pearl, named Snow Dragon Pearl. This bead is bright in the night, the tentacles are cold, and the shopkeeper knows that this pearl is extraordinary at a glance, and he is thinking about when to find a buyer.
It's a pity that the news leaked, and for some reason, the Snow Dragon Ball was inquired about by the two groups of strongmen in Iron Stone Fort and Yingyang Mountain, and they sent a letter almost at the same time, saying that they entered the city during the Shangyuan Festival to "borrow" the Snow Dragon Ball.
If it was just any gang of bandits, Shopkeeper Zhang would rather cut his flesh and bleed, and give up the Snow Dragon Ball to ask for peace, but he didn't expect that this time it was the two who came at the same time, and he was blocking the door of Duobao Pavilion to fight for life and death.
After Qi Dezhong came to Duobao Pavilion, the shopkeeper Zhang was trembling in the room with his wife and children, and there was a delicate wooden box on the side of several cases, presumably the Snow Dragon Ball inside.
"Shopkeeper Zhang, in Xia Qi Dezhong, come to the door to ask for Snow Dragon Ball. Qi Dezhongmai walked into the house and said bluntly.
As soon as the shopkeeper Zhang looked up, he saw a stranger suddenly breaking into the house, and the child in his arms was about to cry, Qi Dezhong waved his hand and flicked his fingers, and a soft and long mana dispersed everyone's fear, making the family members of the shopkeeper Zhang fall asleep.
"You, you are ......" Shopkeeper Zhang felt a calm in his heart from nowhere, calmed down a little, helped his wife and children to sit firmly, and bowed to Qi Dezhong: "I don't know if the immortal is coming, and I am not welcome." ”
"Shopkeeper Zhang is sharp-eyed. Qi Dezhong said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, now I am living and practicing in Xianxia Temple in the north of the city, and I learned that chaos is gradually growing in front of the door of Duobao Pavilion, so I specially came to the door to solve the knot." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang looked like a very shrewd businessman on weekdays, and quickly picked up the wooden box on several cases, handed it to Qi Dezhong, and said respectfully: "I am willing to worship the immortal chief with the Snow Dragon Ball for the peace of the family." ”
Qi Dezhong nodded slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Since I have shown up and spoken out, I am naturally involved in it, if I can't keep the peace of your Zhang family and the Duobao Pavilion, wouldn't it be self-destructive cultivation?" Before taking over the Snow Dragon Ball, I want to ask about it, and ask the shopkeeper Zhang to say it clearly." ”
"Whatever the Immortal Chief asks, he will definitely respond!"
Qi Dezhong pointed to the wooden box, and his expression was much calmer: "I don't know how much this Snow Dragon Ball is worth?"
