Chapter 66: The Orphan Girl
The shoulder hurts to death, the code word is really difficult, take your time! Please vote for it! Your support is the panacea.
The corpse of the Sandstorm Demon King was lifted up by the long beard, and the corpse still looked fierce and mighty in the sunlight.
The people of the caravan are cleaning up the mess of the battle, and the previous wave of charges led by the Sandstorm Demon King has completely disrupted the formation of the caravan, if it weren't for Zhang Baidao and Longbeard's quick battle and killing the Sandstorm Demon King, the Sandstorm Demons have retreated in fear, just afraid that the entire caravan will be close to the total annihilation.
There were quite a few deaths in the entire caravan, and even if they were used to seeing life and death, they couldn't help but look gloomy.
In such a gloom, the bearded man dragged the body of the Sandstorm Demon King and stood on a high place, holding the corpse high.
"Look at my hands, this is the corpse of the Sandstorm Demon King, we are victorious!"
"We've won!"
"We've won!"
As if it was contagious, such a shout was heard from the whole caravan, and the originally low momentum was also raised, what an exciting word of victory! No matter how tragic it was, if you finally win, then there should be no regrets.
Amid the cheers, Khotan returned in the dust, carrying the head of the leader of the sand thieves in his hand.
Khotan was also wounded, but his return seemed to inject the backbone of the entire caravan.
The caravan, which had stayed where it had been for nearly a day and a night, continued to pack up and continue on its way.
Merchants are a strong group, they have no home of their own, they can only wander around, in the wanderings they have long been accustomed to all kinds of life and death, even if it is painful, they will choose to continue to survive tenaciously.
Zhang Baijian also found Wang Lingguan, Wang Lingguan was not lightly injured, but maybe the ancient snake technique was really special, even if he was seriously injured, Wang Lingguan was still alive, and he just ate a big meal, and the injuries on his body were half better.
"Two brothers, thanks to the two of you this time, I am grateful to Lei Tian!" As the caravan was moving forward, Lei Tian walked to Zhang Baijian and Wang Lingguan with a long beard and said.
"The captain is polite!" Zhang Baijian naturally would not give up the opportunity to contact Lei Tian. That's what he had done to infiltrate the caravan.
"If there is no captain to stop the most powerful enemy, how can we be the opponent of the sand bandits? Zhang Baijian slapped a sycophant without hesitation.
Lei Tian smiled slightly: "Brother Zhang Baijian is polite! That Sandstorm Demon King is not simple, if it is not for your cooperation, Long Shuibo will definitely not be an opponent." ”
Long Shuibo is the name of the long beard.
"I don't know what sect Brother Zhang came from? Lei Tian obviously saw that Zhang Baijian's cultivation was far beyond ordinary qi training, and he had a speculation in his heart, but it was not easy to say it directly.
"Both of our brothers and sisters were born in Yujing Mountain. Zhang Baijian said.
"The disciple of Yujing Mountain, why do you want to join the caravan and earn this money?" asked Lei Tian with a frown.
Zhang Baijian was about to explain the reason, but suddenly heard a suppressed cry.
The voice is small, but it is full of emotion, and it is impossible not to care when you listen to it.
Led by Lyather, the crowd searched in the direction from which the voice came.
But it was a girl who was no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was crying on a man. The man had been dead for a long time, and some of the caravan men next to him were about to bury him on the spot. It was also the custom of the merchants, because they had lost their homeland, so wherever they went to die, they were buried on the spot, and there was no tombstone without a tombstone, as if they had never been in this world.
"What's going on?" asked Raytian.
One of the people in charge of burying the man saw Lei Tian coming, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "My lord, I didn't expect to alarm you, the girl's father is a small merchant in the caravan, and the father and daughter have been dependent on each other, and now that his father is dead, we are thinking about finding a good family to sell this girl." ”
"What? Damn, I can't see that you are so vicious. If someone else's father has just died, you will sell his daughter. When Wang Lingguan heard this, he was furious, and he raised his fist with the mouth of the bowl and was about to smash the man to death.
The bearded Long Shuibo hurriedly grabbed Wang Lingguan.
The man also shuddered and explained, "This brother has misunderstood, we merchants are ancient criminals, and we can only wander, not settle in one place. If you spend a lot of money to buy off the nobles, you can get their permission to enter the palace as a slave, have a place and no longer continue to wander. This girl is too young to endure the pain of a long journey and wandering, so we thought about using her father's legacy and our own efforts to help her find a better home... ”
This is very reasonable, and there is no crying in it, but it makes Zhang Baijian silent for a while.
While some people shout for freedom and equality, there are others who have to sacrifice everything just to survive. Is this really fair?
"I don't want to be a slave, my father said that although we merchants have no homeland and no homeland, and are the lowest class criminals, we still have backbone, and even if we die, we can't kneel and kowtow. The girl suddenly raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, but she said very strongly.
"I said, you girl, you don't know what's wrong!" someone couldn't help but say.
"Yes, if I were as young and beautiful as you, I would never choose to continue wandering. The other woman was a little jealous.
"Okay! Shut up! Since she chose it herself, let her go!" said Rettian.
The caravan guard leader is the core of a caravan. Most of the profits from each transaction will be siphoned off by the escorts, after all, this world is not peaceful, and without the protection of the escorts, trade is simply impossible.
Suddenly, Rattian's gaze stopped on the purple vertical stripe on the girl's eyebrows.
"Was this birthmark born to you?" asked Raytian.
The girl nodded.
Raytian stepped forward, grabbed the girl's arm, and groped along her bones, but the girl's face turned crimson but did not refuse. Many people around looked at Lei Tian's gaze not only not weird, but looked at the girl with envy.
They all thought that Khotan had a crush on the girl.
In fact, Khotan did have a crush on her.
"From now on, you can follow me! Call me Master!" said Raytian.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly called out to the master obediently.
After a few more words of explanation to the girl, after she buried her father, Khotan would take her away.
Lei Tian and Zhang Baijian walked away under the complicated eyes of many businessmen.
The girl was surrounded by merchants and received blessings, whether sincere or false.
"Boss, that girl's identity is a bit troublesome, and it costs a lot of money to change her household registration. "Long Shui Bo said.
Lei Tian said: "A hundred spirit shells can be exchanged for a disciple of the body of purple electricity, which is a cheap thing." ”
"Boss, you say she's the purple electric body you've been looking for for a long time?" Long Shuibo said in surprise.
"Yes! She is, I didn't expect that this time I came out, and the biggest gain was her. A smile spread across Rettian's face at this time.
The bearded dragon Shuibo turned his head to Zhang Baijian and said: "You may not know, the boss is the body of the green thunder, and the power of cultivating thunder spells and martial arts is extremely high, but the blue thunder is extremely difficult to control, and the boss has not broken through the Zhengang to enter the spirit platform because of this." Only the person who finds the body of purple electricity, practices with him, and uses purple lightning to merge the green thunder, not only will not reduce the power of thunder, but also make up for the defects and go further. ”
The body of purple lightning and the body of green thunder Zhang Baijian have also heard that these are two extremely wonderful physiques that cooperate with each other, which are lower than Li Changgeng's innate genital golden body in terms of level, but they are also a good physique that is unique in ten thousand.
"By the way, Boss Lei, our brothers and sisters are here to inquire about the evil god's dream. This is related to the slaughter of Fuyao City, as well as the many strange things that have happened in Jiushan City recently. After a few days of delay, Zhang Baijian finally found a chance to get to the point.
"It turned out to be for this... Lyatan suddenly fell silent.
"Actually, I don't want to mention this matter! But you saved Shui Bo and helped the caravan, so I can't help but give this face. Lei Tian thought for a while and said.
"I don't know much, though. I don't know if it can help you. ”
"If you are willing to say it, it will be a clue after all. Zhang Baijian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lei Tian was willing to speak, it would be regarded as opening up the situation.
As for who the enemy was, that was not Zhang Baijian's responsibility, if it weren't for Shi Yi saying that the person who slaughtered the city had used the Heavenly Immortal Sword of Yujing Mountain, he wouldn't even go to Jiushan City alone with Wang Lingguan to investigate.
Then Lai Tian did not hide it, and told everything that happened in the previous dream.
"That god belongs to the god of death, and it should have been born from the death of Fuyao City, but the god who was born in such a short period of time should not be clearly organized. I suspect that someone else is directly controlling the god, which means that the so-called death god is just a front, a puppet. ”
"And when I hunted down the leader of the sand bandits, I found that he could perform three overlaps and summon three divine totems to bless. This is very rare. There should already be a large force in Jiushan City, and they have begun to worship evil gods. ”
"There must be some kind of connection in this, if you want to find the person who slaughtered the city, you must first pull out the evil god organization in Nine Mountains City. ”
As Rettian spoke, things finally became clear.
After returning to Jiushan City, Zhang Baijian and Wang Lingguan bid farewell to Lei Tian and Long Shuibo, and returned to the Chinese army's tent day and night to deliver news.
It's just that when the two of them rushed back to the Chinese army's big tent, the people from the Youshi tribe and the Nanping County Wangfu had long since disappeared, and only the general Lu Yuansheng was still in the army.
"What? They've gone to Nine Mountains City?"
"That's right, just three days after you left, the people from the Nanping County Palace's palace in Jiushan City sent back the news that they had found the whereabouts of the person who slaughtered the city. Lu Yuansheng said.
"Then did they mention where the person who slaughtered the city was?" asked Zhang Baijian.
"It is said to be in the Wild Sand City, which is attached to Nine Mountains City. "The deer is far better.
Zhang Baijian frowned.
"Oops!"
