Chapter 174: Southern Xinjiang

On the second day, when Bai Feifei woke up, Lu Xu quietly left the Bai family. Because he was in the downtown area, Lu Xu was also riding a horse, and he didn't fly in the air, so he only walked a few miles away, and suddenly felt that someone was following him behind him. As soon as his heart moved, he immediately flew back quietly and greeted the people.

Rushing out of Lixu, he saw a small figure falling under the horse, Lu Xu hurriedly stepped up and shouted, "Ling'er, why are you here too?"

The figure was Bai Ling'er, she suddenly saw Lu Xu, the corners of her mouth twitched, wow, she cried, threw herself into his arms, sobbed and choked, but did not speak.

Lu Xu patted her on the shoulder, looked at her dirty little face, and said, "What's wrong Ling'er, don't cry, don't cry!"

Bai Ling'er seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances, and finally got vented, crying even louder, and said: "I want to go with you to find the soul of the young lady, but I didn't expect to fall off the horse, it hurts." ”

Lu Xu thought to himself: "This girl is really free in the Bai family, and she can come out at will." But when she looked at herself aggrievedly, she seemed to be very attached to him. Hurriedly said: "Okay, don't cry, I'll take you with me." But you have to inform the uncle. ”

"No need, I left a note for Miss. Mademoiselle is kind to me and won't blame me. Bai Ling'er was overjoyed when she heard this, raised her head, the sun wrapped a light veil on her beautiful little face, the crystal tears had not yet been wiped away, and the sea-like eyes were full of laughter.

Lu Xu was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he smile and said, "Ling'er, I didn't expect you to become so beautiful after not seeing you for a few years." ”

Receiving Lu Xu's praise, Bai Ling'er was extremely happy in her heart, and couldn't help but be shy for a while, pouted and said, "How can there be." ”

Southern Xinjiang is a special place in the Arctic region, and it does not belong to the Eight-Nation Alliance, nor does it belong to any one country. Because almost all of this place is steep mountains and mountains, and all ethnic groups are mixed, it is extremely chaotic. Heping County is a relatively remote county town in southern Xinjiang, surrounded by mountains, and most of the people living here are barbarians.

When it comes to southern Xinjiang, many people in the Arctic region will think of corpse refining, because southern Xinjiang is the base camp of corpse refining. It is said that the founding patriarch of the famous Corpse Refining Sect in the Arctic Region was once a person from the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Refining Lineage, but later betrayed the Corpse Refining Line for some reason.

Although there are many lofty mountains and mountains in southern Xinjiang, the aura is not very sufficient, so very few sects will establish sects here. What's more, because Southern Xinjiang is the base camp of the corpse refining lineage, there will be no sect to touch its brows. It is said that the corpse refining vein in southern Xinjiang has several ancestral flying hair stiffs, which is equivalent to several strong people in the infancy stage, so no one dares to provoke the corpse refining vein in southern Xinjiang.

Southern Xinjiang is dominated by barbarians, mixed with various tribes, and Heping County is such a county town adjacent to the mountains.

And Kuijia Village is in the southwest of Heping County, in the depths of the mountains, and it is extremely difficult for even immortal cultivators to find it without a guide. When Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er arrived in Heping County, it was already evening.

Because of carrying such a small oil bottle as Bai Ling'er, Lu Xu didn't dare to be too fast, and it took two months to arrive in Heping County.

Heping County is just a small county, there are not many people, and he has been rushing for months, Lu Xu is afraid that Bai Ling'er will not be able to bear it. I didn't rush to Kuijia Village, but found an inn in the county seat, planning to stay for one night and talk about it tomorrow. When they were on the road, Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er ate and lived together, so they naturally handed over the basic Five Elements Exercises to Bai Ling'er for cultivation, which made Bai Ling'er very excited to learn that he could also become an immortal cultivator.

Because it is a county town adjacent to the mountains, there are a lot of mountain walkers who rely on the mountain goods to eat, so there are still many inns in Heping County, and there are nearly ten good inns in a small county. Lu Xu was not deliberately picky, he found a fairly clean inn at random and went in.

This inn is not far from the city gate of Heping County, generally this kind of inn is provided for those who walk the mountain, so it is not high-end in terms of environment, but this kind of inn also has a kind of benefit, that is, there are many people of all kinds, which is conducive to listening to the news.

This is a combination of a restaurant and an inn, with a place to eat on the ground floor and accommodation on the second and third floors, as well as a large bunk in the backyard.

For a perennial mountain walker, this run may be several months, the road is boring, and there is no one to chat with, so when the inn rests overnight, chatting with people is a great pleasure for them.

Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er sat at the dining table on the ground floor and ordered a few side dishes, while they were eating, Lu Xu asked the shopkeeper about the road to Kuijia Village, but he didn't expect the other party to know. Even when asked the shopkeeper, he said he didn't know.

"Brother Lu, why don't we ask these mountain walkers. Bai Ling'er saw Lu Xu's frowning appearance and suggested on the side.

"Don't worry. Lu Xu shook his head, judging from the dodging of the shopkeeper just now, this Kuijia Village seemed to be weird. The two of them are strangers again, and rashly asking the mountain people will inevitably make people suspicious.

"Boss, give me something to eat, first come a big bowl of ginger soup, it's going to be hot, I'm freezing to death." ”

Just when Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er were eating silently, the curtain on the door was lifted, and a man wrapped in a shabby animal skin jacket came in.

The man shrunk his whole body into the fur jacket on his body, wore a dirty fur hat on his head, rubbed his hands vigorously with his hands exposed, and sat down directly on a table next to him.

"Jiang Daya, are you getting a job again?" the shopkeeper walked out of the front desk, seemed to be very familiar with this man, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, the last trip of the year, after the end, I won't take it this year. Jiang Daya poured himself a cup of hot water first, and he didn't think the hot water was hot, so he grunted a few times and drank it directly.

"Come on, Jiang Daya, you also said this last time, I think you are just digging into the eyes of money, as long as you have silver, even if it is a job covered by heavy snow, you will take it. The shopkeeper pouted.

"This time it's someone who paid a lot of money, otherwise I really wouldn't have taken it, you know my rules, and I won't take it in winter. But I can't stand the amount of money that others pay, so I can't help it. ”

When Jiang Daya was talking, Xiao Er also brought the ginger soup, and this Jiang Daya actually directly picked up the ginger soup and drank it a few times.

This bowl of ginger soup is still steaming, you know, the heat of ginger soup is higher than hot water, ordinary people have already been scalded when they drink it like this, but this ginger big tooth, after drinking, just a little ruddy face, and then there is no other reaction.

"Also, we are here, only you dare to go to Kuijia Village, no one dares to go that way except you, you have made a lot of money over the years. When the shopkeeper said this, he wore a sour tone, and the profit of his inn in a month was sometimes better than Jiang Daya's work.

"Brother Lu......"

The innkeeper's voice talking to this Jiang Daya was not very small, Bai Ling'er, who was not far away, naturally heard it, and when she heard the shopkeeper say the three words Kuijia Village, she immediately whispered to Lu Xu to remind her.

It's just that when she looked at Lu Xu, she found that Lu Xu's brows had been furrowed, but her eyes had been staring at the man wrapped in animal skin jackets.

As soon as Bai Ling'er saw this situation, she knew that Lu Xu had noticed this man, and naturally she also heard the conversation between the shopkeeper and this man, and she didn't need to remind her again, so she stopped talking at the moment.

"Where is your carriage stop?"

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, it won't block the business of your inn, it's in the old place, the old rules, sleep in your place today, help me get my things ready tomorrow morning, I'm going to leave tomorrow morning." Jiang Daya said.

"It's still those things, okay, I'll let Xiao Er prepare it in a while, but now it's the end of the year, and the price is much more expensive than usual. The shopkeeper said.

"Just double the price. Jiang Da tooth bared his teeth and said.

"Hehe, that's fine. ”

The shopkeeper heard Jiang Daya say this, and left with a smile, it seemed that he was going to prepare something for Jiang Daya.

"Ling'er, guess what this Jiang Daya does?" As soon as the shopkeeper left, this Jiang Daya drank and ate vigorously, and Lu Xu asked Bai Ling'er with a smile.

"Listening to the words of this shopkeeper, this Jiang Daya seems to be a mountain goods dealer, he should go to Kuijia Village, Kuijia Village is deep in the mountains, is it to collect mountain goods?"

Bai Ling'er said this is not without her reason, many places have this kind of people who collect mountain goods, this kind of person is commonly known as mountain walkers, who specialize in collecting mountain goods from all over the world for sale.

For mountain walkers, ordinary people may be very unfamiliar, but if you cite another kind of person, there may be more people who know, that is, the famous Liaodong picker.

Ginseng pickers are actually a kind of mountain walkers, and ginseng is also a kind of mountain goods, but this kind of mountain goods is more famous, so it will be widely known.

But in fact, there are local specialties in the deep mountains of various places, and these specialties are only available in the mountains of fixed places, and at this time, it is necessary to rely on mountain walkers.

"This Jiang Daya may be a mountain walker, but the job he took today is not as simple as collecting mountain goods. Lu Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "But if you want to say that he is a mountain walker, he can barely be regarded as a mountain walker." ”

"Brother Lu, this Jiang Daya is going to Kuijia Village, should we?" Bai Ling'er said.

"Let's see, isn't he going to stay here for another night, and I'll find a chance to get in touch with him. Lu Xu nodded.

Soon, that Jiang Daya was full, but Jiang Daya did not go upstairs to the room to rest, but walked towards the outside of the inn slowly.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look. Lu Xu greeted Bai Ling'er, stood up from the table, and the two of them followed out of the inn.

When Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er walked to the door of the inn, they saw Jiang Daya walking towards an alley, they seemed to be very familiar with the way, Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er hurriedly chased after them.

This is a small alley, with several bends in a row, and when Lu Xu and Bai Ling'er rushed over, Jiang Daya had already disappeared at a certain bend in the alley, and there was no one in sight.

"This Jiang Daya has drunk so much wine, and he is still walking quite fast, could it be that he will go to meet some old man?"
