Chapter 37: The Young Owner

After putting away these two jade slips, only the black semicircular item that shone with a ghostly light remained, such a thing, Zhao Tianzuo had obtained one before, that is, in the boulder where Zhao Guang was in Yunlan, which was instructed by Youhu before his death, and the reason why it was placed there was because Youhu sensed that the aura contained in the Yangtian Pond on the Yangxin Peak of Yunlan Country was richer than other places, so at that time, Youhu put it there to absorb the aura, and through the jade slip of the Phantom Wolf, Zhao Tianzuo also knew the name of this black item- Spirit Stone.

The spirit stone is a special stone, the only function is that it can absorb the spiritual energy into its internal storage, and then transfer it out through spiritual power when needed, it is a kind of natural spiritual artifact similar to the spirit stone but can be reused.

Putting the two spirit stones together, Zhao Tianzuo seemed to see the ghost fox and the ghost wolf standing in front of him with a smile and nodding to him, telling him to pass on the pylorus.

Holding the shiny spirit stone in his hand, bursts of aura slowly flowed into his body along the contact surface between the stone and his hand, Zhao Tianzuo cut off this absorption, and then put them into the storage bag that he didn't use often, and sighed secretly: "This is all the inheritance of the pylorus, although there are only a few things, but I will definitely carry it forward and live up to the trust of the two." ”

After sorting out everything, Zhao Tianzuo removed the enchantment and meditated cross-legged for a while. The spiritual power that he had not dared to use for a long time slowly washed away the fatigue of his body through the hundreds of limbs, and when he finally returned to his best state, the sky was already bright. A shout came from the door of the tent: "Brother, get up!" Before the words could land, the door curtain was raised, and Chi Zhuang had the expression of a big girl who was not wearing clothes, but he only saw Zhao Tianzuo, who was neatly dressed, sitting cross-legged.

Seeing Zhao Tianzuo open his eyes, Chi Zhuang smiled and said, "Brother, get up." Today in particular, I have a few words to settle you.

"Is there anything special happening today?" Zhao Tianzuo asked as he got up and walked out.

"Yes, so I'm going to settle you in advance," Chi Zhuang nodded, "You also know that we make a living by catching snakes, and today is the day when our owner comes to collect it." Speaking of our owner, he doesn't like to see outsiders, so can you hide today?"

Seeing Chi Zhuang's rare twist, Zhao Tianzuo smiled and said: "Brother Chi, I am already grateful that you can stay here in the past two days, I won't trouble you, it's a big deal for me to leave." ”

"Oh, yes, look at what you said, it's like I'm driving you away," Chi Zhuang said hurriedly: "I'm just here to talk to you, and when the time comes, you try to talk as little as possible." ”

"Then if I don't speak and I'm still discovered, it won't bring you any bad consequences, right?" Zhao Tianzuo thought more deeply.

"If you find out, you might be asked?" Chizhuang obviously didn't expect such a point, "But you don't have to worry, even if you are found out, it's okay to have me as a guarantor for you, believe me, the big deal is that I was told a few words." ”

Scratching his head, Chi Zhuang asked shyly: "Brother, I was drunk the night before yesterday, what do you say is your name?"

Zhao Tianzuo sneered, this rough man really has no talent for lying, obviously he has never asked his name, but he has not said that he was drunk and forgot, it seems that he is still afraid that when their so-called owner asks him, he will get into trouble if he can't even say his name, so Zhao Tianzuo didn't care about his clumsy lies, and said: "Brother Chi, it's not that you didn't ask, it's that I haven't said, my name is Zhao Tianzuo." ”

"Hehe, brother, why does your name sound so good? Okay! Brother made a note, when the owner leaves, we will drink again!" Chi Zhuang said, and was about to pull Zhao Tianzuo to dinner.

Zhao Tianzuo looked at the stone stove, full of brown rice porridge, with a stack of flatbread next to it, this is the third time Zhao Tianzuo has seen these meals, even on the night of drinking, there are not too many pickle gnocchi, it seems that the life of the people here is very poor, but they accepted Zhao Tianzuo without even asking his name, which made Zhao Tianzuo a little moved.

The stout woman was as enthusiastic as yesterday and immediately gave Zhao Tianzuo a bowl of thin rice, and then pointed to the cake and asked him if he wanted it, Zhao Tianzuo didn't plan to do anything, but seeing the middle-aged woman's enthusiastic but weathered face, Zhao Tianzuo decided to add a dish to them, so he motioned to Chi Zhuang and the woman to empty the table full of flatbread, and then took out more than 20 catties of beef prepared for him by Uncle Wolf from the storage bag, happily enjoying the long-lost meat.

Zhao Tianzuo noticed that although everyone showed unusual enthusiasm for beef, no one was surprised that he took it out of the storage bag.

More than 100 people divided 20 catties of beef, in fact, there were not many people who spread out, but people were obviously very happy, and there were actually a few half-sized children who were instigated by their fathers or uncles to come to Chizhuang to ask for wine and express that they wanted to use wine to "meat", but they were kicked by Chizhuang, and shouted and scolded: "Early in the morning, everyone opens their intestines and drinks wine and eats meat, are they ready to die? Not to mention that today is still the day when the owner comes to collect snakes, one by one, the mouth is full of wine and smells, what should I do if the owner is smoked?" At first, everyone was still making a fuss and screaming, but when they heard Chi Zhuang talking about the owner, the noise quickly subsided, which made Zhao Tianzuo think in his heart: This owner can't help but smoke?

After breakfast, the women and children cooperated very neatly, and after a while, all the "houses" were demolished, and then put on more than ten carts, and then more than 20 men set themselves up, and a group of people set off towards the deeper part of the Gobi under the leadership of Chizhuang.

Towards noon, they came to a large ledge that had not been completely eroded by the wind, and the tall stone walls were eroded by the wind to reveal all kinds of strange appearances, and they walked in the middle as if they were walking in a stone jungle.

After a while, everyone stopped at the shout of Chizhuang, each found a shady place to sit down, and began to take out dry food and water to replenish his strength, but Chizhuang stood on a huge white stone waiting for something.

After a while, I heard a "hissing" sound in the distance, and then a shuttle with a length of more than a foot appeared in the air, and a person on it seemed to be relieved to see the people on the ground, and then I heard a delicate female voice shouting: "Dodge, dodge!"

Zhao Tianzuo is sitting in a shade not far from the pond village admiring this Lingshuo, I don't want to suddenly this thing rushed to the pond village, although the pond village has always been flexible, but one really didn't expect this, the second Lingsuo is not far from the ground, at best it is five or six zhang, just heard the shout that thing arrived, in the crisis Zhao Tianzuo rushed out, grabbed the pond Zhuang and rushed out, and the spirit shuttle was also slightly deviated, and one was planted in the gravel in the middle of the boulder.

At this time, Chi Zhuang, who was slightly sluggish just now, ran over like the wind and carefully helped the person who fell to the ground up, "He kept asking: "Shaodong, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Uncle Chi, thank you, are you okay?" said a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in a black shirt with two big braids, patting the dirt on her body.

"What can I do with my rough skin and thick flesh, I'm afraid of hurting you. Chizhuang looked anxious.

"I'm fine, hehe," the girl soothed Chi Zhuang, and then said: "It seems that what the master said is right, my spiritual power is not enough to support such a long flight, and I will never be strong next time, so I need to take a break in the middle." He looked around as he spoke.

"What are you looking for?" Chizhuang followed and looked around.

"That kid just now, it's very powerful, thank you for saving you. The girl said.

"Well, that, I'll just thank you. Chi Zhuang paused and changed the topic: "Why didn't the owner come this time?"

"Master, his old man is refining a furnace of medicine, and he is so busy that he hits the back of his head, so he doesn't have time to come, hehe. Just give me the serpent, and I won't do you any wrong. The girl winked at Chizhuang and said.

"Look at what you said, young owner, which time have you treated us badly, besides, what we do is what we do, if it weren't for you, how would we be today. Chi Zhuang said, waving his hand to the crowd behind him, and more than 30 people walked over with two big cowhide bags in their hands.

It's all snakes.

More than 30 people, each with two pockets, at least more than 100 snakes in each pocket, there may be no direct impact in saying this, but after pouring them all out, looking at the dense group of snakes, Zhao Tianzuo was really surprised, and what surprised him even more was that none of these snakes escaped, but squeezed all of them into a brown bag opened by the girl, obviously this bag is a storage device, otherwise it is impossible to hold so many snakes, but Zhao Tianzuo was puzzled in his heart, didn't he say that the storage device could not hold live thingsWhy is this brown bag okay?

When Zhao Tianzuo was still puzzled, the girl had already finished collecting the snake and said to Chi Zhuang: "Uncle Chi, have you totaled it? How many are there?"

"Alas, the young owner, don't you dare to call me uncle, you torture me, just call me Lao Chi, we counted before, there are 10,000 and eighty-two. ”

"Hehe, hey, Uncle Chi, don't you dare to call me a young owner. The girl said in Chizhuang's tone, and then said, "Then it will be dealt with according to 12,000,"

"Too many young owners," Chi Zhuang was shocked.

"What did you call me last time?"
