Chapter 25: Outside the Fire Cloud Palace

"Donglin Town is ruined?" When Ning Xiao and Feng Bujue were talking, Li Linxi was listening to him all the time, "Are you saying that excessive prosperity will attract coveted people, and Donglin Town will be plundered by force?"

Ning Xiao said indifferently: "It's impossible, that's the territory of the Sword Washing Palace, how can anyone be so bold!"

Feng Bujue glanced at Ning Xiao with disdain, "First, I didn't say that someone wanted to rob Donglin Town; second, even if it was the territory of the Sword Washing Palace, no one would rob it? Have you forgotten Qingping Town? The territory of the Sword Washing Palace, there are still people under the door who do evil! If the six major factions were so majestic, the profession of robbers would have starved to death long ago!"

Ning Xiao pursed his lips and said, "Then why do you say that Donglin Town is destroyed?"

"There is a town, and there are a lot of monkeys living outside the town," Feng Bujue decided to give Ning Xiao a chestnut, "There is a merchant who decided to buy monkeys for 10 gold." After the townspeople went on a hunt, the monkey population gradually decreased and became more and more difficult to catch. At this time, the merchant decided to buy it for 20 gold, and the townspeople worked harder to catch the monkey. ”

Ning Xiao listened to it in his ears, and faintly understood.

Then the merchant raised the price to 50 gold, but he left first on his own business, and asked his assistant to buy the monkey instead of him. The assistant said to the townspeople, "I'll sell you monkeys for 35 gold each, and when my boss comes back, you can sell them to him!" Feng Bujue continued. The townspeople bought all the monkeys, but never saw the merchant and his assistant return. ”

Ning Xiao suddenly realized, "I understand! The townspeople of Donglin Town borrowed money to buy high-priced silk, thinking that the merchants from other places in Donglin Town would also buy it! But after they bought silk, the merchants disappeared! They had no place to sell silk, and in the end, they were in debt, so they had to scatter and flee, and a huge Donglin Town was ......ruined in this way."

Li Linxi nodded, "Sure enough, there must be demons when things are abnormal, and all kinds of prosperity in Donglin Town are just passing by after all." It's just that this matter started because of Sister Lan's divination, and I hope she didn't get involved......"

Feng Bujue pursed his lips, "Human nature is evil, and Donglin Town died because of the endless greed of the townspeople. This matter should have nothing to do with the fortune operator, she was looking for silk first, and then someone used her name to stir up the silk trade. But it's still the same sentence, what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true, and what others say is not necessarily right, I don't evaluate it. ”

Ning Xiao said: "With Lan Luocheng's character, if she wants to speculate on the silk trade, she will definitely calculate a hexagram first...... Anyway, if Donglin Town is really destroyed, there must be something wrong with that merchant!"

Feng Bujue rolled his eyes, "What if there is a problem? He has not killed people and sold goods, but he has also deceived people and cheated money! This is a normal market transaction, and no one can say that he is wrong!"

"Hmph, I don't know much about market trading, I just know that he ruined a peaceful town!" Ning Xiao said indignantly, "I want him to pay!"

Feng Bujue muttered mockingly, "You are really a virgin......

Ning Xiao didn't hear clearly, seeing that Feng Bujue didn't have any follow-up, he subconsciously looked over, only to see that Feng Bujue had fallen asleep, Xiumei frowned slightly, her lips were thin and powerful, and her eyes were closed, which was different from the aggressiveness between the previous words, and Feng Bujue, who was asleep, gave people a feeling of pity.

Looking at each other and smiling with Li Linxi, Ning Xiao and Li Linxi were also ready to sleep.

There was no word all night, and when I woke up, it was already dawn. In the wild, there was no rooster crow, and the three of them washed up and ate some dry food, and then set off to continue towards Shouyang Mountain.

The three of them went forward in this way, walked during the day, rested at night, toured the mountains and rivers, and arrived at Shouyang Mountain two months later. Along the way, Ning Xiao noticed that there were more and more gray hairs on the side of Li Linxi's ears, and she was secretly anxious and worried. Li Linxi didn't see it, she was the one who had the most fun along the way. Feng Bujue didn't act like a person with insomnia, he was the first person to fall asleep every night, and even the dark circles under his eyes faded a lot. I have to say that these three people didn't even let off the wind when they slept at night, and if the author really couldn't think of arranging a night attack by bandits, they would have been on the road a long time ago. Of course, it may also be because the law and order in the area under the rule of Shouyang Mountain is relatively good.

In short, when the three of them arrived at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, they saw a building at the foot of the mountain with square and solemn red bricks and yellow tiles, an open square in front of them, and a towering Shouyang behind them. On the square, there are more than three people tall giant sword statues straight into the ground, one side of the sword is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, Ning Xiao recognized at a glance that it is the statue of Xuanyuan Sword, think that the other side must be engraved with mountains, rivers and plants, right? There is a mahogany plaque hanging on the top of the building, with three big characters of "Huoyun Palace" written on it, and there is a palm print in the lower right corner of the plaque, the palm print is not big, it comes from the woman's hand at a glance, but it is nearly an inch, and the person who gives the palm has a deep skill, which makes people stagger.

The Huoyun Hall blocked the way to the mountain pass, and Ning Xiao and the three of them went up side by side and decided to go in. When I walked to the door of the building, I only heard a burst of sound breaking into my ears, and I saw that the hall was full of people and lively. Ning Xiao and the three of them were dumbfounded, how do you look at it, the appearance outside this hall doesn't match the scene inside the hall, right?

The whole hall was divided into three parts, with the signs of "task area", "commission area" and "exchange area", and each area also corresponded to the five counters of "heaven", "earth", "xuan" and "yellow". The crowd in the hall was divided into several teams and lined up in the hall in turn. It's like buying a train ticket for the Spring Festival, but fortunately there are no scalpers cruising outside the crowd...... Ning Xiao suddenly looked at Li Linxi, "Is this considered an abnormality?"

The three of them stood at the entrance of the hall in a daze, attracting the attention of the staff in the hall. I saw a woman in a red-clothed outfit coming out of the crowd, standing in front of the three of them and asking, "The three of you are coming to Shouyang Mountain for the first time?"

Ning Xiao nodded, "It's indeed the first time we've come to Shouyang Mountain, and we don't know what we're looking ...... What's going on?"

The woman in red smiled and said, "I have been in the Shouyang Mountain Sect for less than seven years, but I have formed a situation where I stand side by side with other Wumen sects, just because of the excitement in front of the guests!"

didn't care about the woman in red's explanation, and looked at the people and things around her with big eyes. Feng Bujue heard this, frowned slightly, thoughtful. So Ning Xiao stubbornly continued to communicate with the woman in red, "What do you mean by this?"

"Since the establishment of the Shouyang Mountain, regardless of the difference between sects and the concept of martial arts, all people who are on the right path and have justice in their hearts can learn martial arts in Shouyang Mountain!" The woman in red said proudly, "Shouyang Mountain adheres to the concept of great revenge, we firmly believe that in the era of no way in the world, individuals can rely on their own strength to support justice, and the unrighteous people, even if they hide at the ends of the world, my Shouyang Mountain will definitely ask for it!"

Ning Xiao listened to her blood boiling, and only felt that the woman in red said everything in her heart, "Tell me quickly, how can I join Shouyang Mountain?"

Deserted comment area, but I'm not afraid. Just as Ning Xiao met Li Linxi, he was fortunate to meet Qing in this life.
