Chapter 13 Feast on Parkview Green
It took more than a day to enter the forest, and when I went back, I arrived outside the Blood Maple Forest in only two or three hours.
Jing Fei raised his head, the night was dark and the wind was clear, and the silver moon was like a hook.
A similar hunt is held every ten years, and this time, although it came suddenly, it was also grand.
After the hunt, they often gather at the edge of the forest, and the party is not elaborate, highlighting a "festive".
This time, the four roads have their own harvests, the Divine Protector Mansion and the Tianxiao Camp each harvest one and a half, of which the Tianxiao Camp is only the one who robbed the Divine Protector Mansion, and the other two roads each have one.
The beast is not rare among the third-order demon beasts, but all kinds of materials on the market can get at least one thousand kun jade, which is converted into one million taels of gold.
Removing the fur, blood, claws, skeleton, and tongue, the task of the big guy tonight is to eat the meat worth millions of taels of gold.
The flesh of the third-order demon beast can nourish the spirit element for the qi practitioner, and it can enhance the physique for the body refiner.
The cool autumn wind could not dissipate everyone's enthusiasm, and the team of nearly a thousand people was preparing the family of the party on the grassy ground, there was wood and water in the forest, everything was prepared very quickly, after all, the third-order demon beasts were not there every year.
Five mountain-like demon beasts lay quietly around the campfire, and here they were either hunters or soldiers, all of them were good at making knives, and there were only five skeletons left on the ground with a stick of incense.
Soon, the grass overflowed with incense, and everyone ate meat and drank wine in groups of three or five, humming the tune of their hometown, playing with their private dice, and laughing above the nine heavens.
Several road leaders gathered alone around a campfire.
Zhang Jingchang, Zheng Junze, Zhao Mingde, Wu Dongxu, and Ge Feiyan were all third-order cultivators, and they were talking to each other either about their cultivation experience or anecdotes.
Zhao Mingde and Wu Dongxu are relatively taciturn, and most of the time Ge Feiyan and Zheng Junze are chatting.
Zhao Mingde and Zheng Junze didn't mention the matter of half a beast again, as if this had never happened, and they were in harmony with each other.
Jing Fei teased Chihiro while chatting with Ge Tianhong in a whisper, after all, they met a few times, and helped Chihiro cut meat, and Chihiro no longer rejected Jing Fei.
When Zheng Junze mentioned the Sacrifice Hall, the surrounding atmosphere became heavy.
There are three parts of heaven, earth and man in the body hall, corresponding to the fourth-order, third-order, and second-order strength, and the leader is one order higher.
The second-order cultivator who sneaked up on last night should be a human killer, and the appearance of seven third-order demon beasts in the Blood Maple Forest is estimated to be related to it, but I don't know what conspiracy is behind it.
As early as last night, several people sent a message to the upper echelons, and it was mentioned tonight just to exchange information related to the Sacrifice Palace, and it would be better to be prepared in the future.
Jing Fei was shocked when he heard it on the side, the few people in front of him were the people who had seen the highest cultivation at present, his light was like lightning, and the flying sword and sword were breaking mountains and stones, what kind of power would the sixth-order cultivator's means be, Jing Fei couldn't imagine.
Thinking of the one in Sister-in-law Li's womb, I don't know if that senior has a sixth-order cultivation, and after thinking about it for a while, I feel that it shouldn't be bad.
Ge Tianhong chatted with Jing Fei from time to time, drinking too much wine and eating too much meat, and his words were vague.
"Brother Jing, do you still have that poem? Let me tell you, the day before yesterday I went to the county town, and a few friends over there were full of praise after seeing the poems, and when they heard that I bought a poem for a thousand dollars, they said that I had picked up a big bargain, and asked me if I would sell two thousand songs, no, fifty songs were doubled, and one hundred thousand taels of gold were in hand. ”
Ge Tianhong smiled very silly, burped a wine and continued:
"The county town is a big place, there are many rich people, and you don't blink your eyes for hundreds of thousands of gold, if you want to have poetry, I will buy a song for 1,200 gold, no, 1,500 gold, how about it, it's interesting enough." ”
Jing Fei's eyes widened when he heard this, looking at the fiery bonfire as if countless gold beckoned again. After calming down, he cheered up and asked:
"How many do you want?"
Ge Tianhong laughed twice, waved his big hand and said arrogantly:
"Let's start with a hundred. After we go back, we will deliver the goods at one price and one hand. ”
After saying that, he fell asleep on Chihiro's buttocks, and Chihiro walked away with a disgusted face.
One hundred songs, one thousand and five, that's 150,000 taels of gold, enough to cultivate to the third order, thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh happily.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and when he looked up, Zheng Junze and the others were looking at him with complicated eyes, Jing Fei had an idea, and leaned on Qianxun and fell asleep.
Except for Ge Feiyan, the other people are from very ordinary backgrounds, and they have only reached their current realm after decades of birth and death, and then look at these two, they have not yet stepped into cultivation, and they have earned enough money to be promoted to the third order in advance, and they are more popular than people.
Zhang Lao looked at Jing Fei a few times with the eyes of his son-in-law, his face was full of smiles, it is also his ability to make money, this kid is good, very good.
Under the firelight, Zhang Lao's complexion became more and more ruddy.
Jing Fei closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, with a third-order monk on the side, he didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear of causing a little fluctuation and being detected.
Zhang Lao's life-saving grace is in the front, and after a few days of getting along, he also has an understanding of Zhang Lao's character, so he dares to tell him what he dreamed of, and the other people are not familiar with it after all, it is better to hide it clumsily, and he always has to leave a hand when he walks the rivers and lakes, and maybe the critical moment is the winner of the defeat.
Jing Fei can't do three provinces in one day, but three provinces in one month are essential.
After coming here for half a month, I almost died twice and survived, if there is still no change as now, how can I go further on the path of cultivation in the future.
The scenes in my mind are like the light and shadow of Qingxi slowly flowing by, from the first encounter with Zhang Lao and Guo'er, to the encounter with the beast, Qianhiro, the county government, the chamber of commerce, the powerful predecessors, the hunting, the killer of the sacrifice hall...
Every scene is carefully recalled, from the details seen to the conversations, which is a convenience brought by excellent memory.
Thinking of the second-order killer of the Sacrifice Hall mentioned by Zheng Junze just now, and thinking of the attack in the forest last night, I couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in my heart.
The timing of the killer's attack and the target have a clear purpose, and its purpose is to tear a breakthrough for the beast in the forest, but the matter of the county government organizing people to enter the mountain to clear it has spread a few days ago, why not transfer the beast in advance, is it just to take revenge or vent anger?
When Zheng Junze left, the killer did something to himself, and Jing Fei clearly remembered what the killer said at the time:
"Third-order body refiner, hide deep enough. ”
So the killer mistakenly thought that Zhang Lao Erjie had just done it to him.
The most critical question is here, the killer is also very picky about the timing of his actions, it was when Zheng Junze left, and last night the Tianxiao camp was the only one who was attacked, does this mean that the killer came for himself.
Thinking of Zheng Junze's speculation that the killer was related to the beast in the forest, and recalled the reason for this entry into the mountain to clear the attack, it was he who attracted the beast that led to the exposure of the monster.
Therefore, he inadvertently sabotaged the plan of the killer of the Sacrifice Palace, which caused the killer to target him.
Thinking of this, Jing Fei was shocked into a cold sweat, and once again connected the matter together and reasoned, becoming more and more sure of the speculation in his heart.
What should I do, can I kill my neck, of course it is impossible, it is indeed possible to take refuge by Zhang Lao's third-order cultivation by his side, but this practice is easy to harm the fruit.
It is also not advisable to hide in the spiritual seminary, Jing Fei has seen that the killer can still escape under Zhang Lao's knife, Cui Yi is only a second-order cultivator, and he can't protect himself.
I can't hide from the first day of junior high and I can't hide from the fifteenth, and the problem still needs to be solved from the root, thinking of this, Jing Fei opened his eyes and sat up straight.
When Zheng Junze and the others heard Jing Fei's inference, they all fell into deep thought, and after a long time, Zhao Mingde spoke:
Now that I think about it, this inference is the most plausible explanation. ”
Several other people nodded in unison, acquiescing to this statement, Zhang Lao smashed the dry smoke with a sad face, if this is the case, then it will be a big trouble, the killer of the Sacrifice Hall is unpredictable, and he still has fruit to take care of.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart about Jing Fei, what a fucking plague god, I don't have much ability, and the trouble I cause is bigger than the other.
At this time, Zheng Junze said:
"The Temple of Sacrifice acts ruthlessly, but it also has principles, isn't it just for money to be a killer, as long as you pay enough money to buy your own life, the Temple of Sacrifice will revoke the reward for you. ”
This time, the Sacrifice Hall found seven third-order demon beasts to plan the layout, and now all of them have entered everyone's belly, so I am afraid that such a loss is not under tens of millions of taels of gold, Jing Fei knows that this method will not work.
Zheng Junze also had a bright heart, rubbed the stubble on his chin and continued:
"There is a convention within the Sacrifice Palace, each target will only be shot once a year, if it fails, it will wait until a year later to shoot again, except for the Heavenly List, if the other two lists are still unharmed within three years, the Sacrifice Hall will eliminate its name. ”
"Has anyone ever had their name removed?" Jing Fei asked hurriedly.
"Yes, but very rarely. I happen to know a person, and that person is said to be related to the city lord of Hanyuan City. The city lord of Hanyuan hated the Sacrifice Hall to the core, and one of his concubines died at the hands of the Sacrifice Hall hundreds of years ago. Knowing that a descendant was targeted by the Sacrifice Palace, he sent someone to connect him to the City Lord's Mansion, and now nearly a hundred years have passed, and that person is already a fourth-order cultivator and is alive and well. ”
It was Zhao Mingde who took over the conversation, and the Divine Protector Mansion directly obeyed the orders of the City Lord's Mansion, so it was no wonder that he knew about these secret things.
Zheng Junze nodded and said:
"If you do make it to the list of the Sacrifice Temple, last night's attack is the first shot, and you don't have to worry about it for the next year. This time, you broke through the conspiracy of the sacrificial temple, and you have a meritorious service, and you can get the protection of the county government and the Divine Protectorate by reporting this matter, as long as you survive three years, you can have no worries. ”
Wu Dongxu drank with his head sullen, pretending not to hear, he didn't want to get involved in this trouble.
In the end, it was Zhao Mingde who opened his mouth, the Divine Protector Mansion represents the City Lord's Mansion, and the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion is their attitude, if they can't even protect the meritorious people under their rule, how can they make the hundreds of millions of people in Hanyuan City feel at ease.
Jing Fei had seen Zhao Mingde's methods, and when he heard that he was willing to protect himself, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stood up and saluted to thank him.
This matter was just a small episode, after all, it was not about themselves, and the rest of the people didn't care, and continued to talk about cultivation.
Jing Fei had no intention of sleeping again, and the temple of sacrifice was now like a sharp knife hanging above his head, and he only felt that the grass and trees were soldiers.
