When Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanli walked out of the city together, Chu Yunyun had already arrived in front of the Sitong Escort Agency.
She went to report to Deputy Bodyguard Lin as usual.
Only after signing up will the escort agency arrange escort teams for them.
However, when Chu Yunyun found Deputy Lin's head escort, the strong man with a tall and thick body and a face as thick as a jujube showed a confused look on his face.
He meditated for a moment, then called Chu Yunyun alone behind the door of the escort agency, and then handed Chu Yunyun two medicine bottles and a money bag.
"Inside this bag is the salary that you two brothers and sisters have detained at the escort agency. There are twelve taels of magic silver in total. You can count it. In the bottle is Yanghe Powder. I see that you often use this medicine. But starting from tomorrow, You brothers and sisters don’t need to come again.”
Chu Yunyun was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at the strong man across from her with a puzzled look and clasped her fists: "I dare to ask Mr. Lin, but what did we brothers and sisters do wrong?"
"You guys are fine."
Deputy Lin shook his head, with a hint of apology in his words: "Little sister Chu, you don't have to say anything. You are very good at using the technique. Now that you have cultivated a spiritual seed, you must be even better. I am also very optimistic about Xi Sheng. He is now Although he is a little younger and still sick, he is very good with a sharp knife, and he is cautious and considerate. He is much better than the group of young boys outside.
However, it seems that you brothers and sisters have offended the Inner City Long family? I said hello over there, I don’t want you to continue working in the escort agency. You should know that the escort business relies on kindness to make money. "
When Chu Yunyun heard the words "Long Family in the Inner City", she already knew the truth.
Chu Xisheng cut off Long Sheng's wrist that day, and the Long family hired someone the next day to break Chu Xisheng's hands and feet in the library.
——This Long family is too aggressive!
There was a fierce look in her eyes, and she immediately took the money bag from the other party's hand.
As soon as Chu Yunyun got the money bag, she felt something was wrong. The silver inside is relatively heavy, and the number should be around fifteen taels.
She couldn't help but raise her hand gratefully: "Guard Lin is a righteous man!"
"That's easy to say!" Deputy Escort Lin also bowed back: "Today's matter is really unethical for our Escort Agency. It's just a meager gift. Please forgive me, Miss Chu!"
Chu Yunyun shook her head slightly. When the brothers and sisters first came to Xiushui City, it was Sitong Escort who gave them a meal.
When the escort was forced to fire them, they also increased their salaries and gave them two bottles of medicine worth three taels of silver. There was nothing unethical about it.
At this time, Deputy Bodyguard Lin looked hesitant again and said: "By the way, I wonder where Brother Chu is? You brothers and sisters are still more cautious these days. It is best to leave Xiushui County. From the tone of the Long family, it seems that they are unwilling to give up.
Recently, Long Heng, the eldest son of the Long family, returned to Xiushui from the capital. This man is known to be strong and domineering, and his methods are vicious. On the third day after his return, he demolished the Iron Flag Gang's branch in the Fire Bone Cave. It is said that the Iron Flag Gang killed more than 60 people, and many herb collectors were also implicated and died. "
Chu Yunyun was immediately frightened. It was the Fire Bone Cave that Chu Xisheng went to today.
"Thank you, Head Guard Lin, for the heads up."
After she thanked Deputy Escort Lin, she turned around and ran out of the Escort Bureau, rushing towards the east of the city.
At this time, she didn't even bother to cover herself up, her steps seemed slow but fast, like smoke and mist.
Chu Yunyun only hoped that she would rush over. Chu Xisheng is still safe and sound——
※※※※
The gate to the east city of Xiushui County was crowded and bustling.
Under the city gate, people and various livestock shuttled back and forth, their body odor mixed with the stench of sweat, and the stench filled their noses.
Chu Xisheng wandered around several carriage shops at the gate of the city, and soon found a carriage heading to the Fire Bone Cave.
There happened to be two seats left in the car, so the driver offered one hundred cents, but Chu Xisheng cut the price to sixty cents.
There were more than a dozen young and strong men sitting in the car, and the smell was indescribable.
Lu Luanli covered his nose and walked into the carriage, took out another brocade handkerchief and placed it on the seat.
After sitting down, Lu Luanli frowned.
She found that the passengers in the car were all looking at her intently.
If they were just looking, there was something wrong with the eyes of these people, like evil wolves, not only containing obscenity, but also mixed with eager desires.
Just as Lu Luanli's eyes darkened slightly and she pinched the talisman in her right sleeve, she heard a choking sound.
It was Chu Xisheng's hundred-refined light steel sword, which suddenly turned into a white light and shone.
Before anyone could react, the sword was already sheathed.
It was only then that the pipe in the mouth of a middle-aged strong man fell down.
This copper-covered pipe was cut into two pieces by Chu Xisheng at that moment.
The middle-aged man was originally the most unscrupulous. His eyes kept looking back and forth at Lu Luanli's chest and buttocks.
At this time, the strong man was still in shock and had lingering fears. It took him a while to regain his composure, and then he looked at Chu Xisheng with wide eyes: "Brother, your sword is so fast, but how did I offend you?"
Chu Xisheng laughed dumbly and pointed at his eyes with his finger: "Your trick offended me."
He sat down next to Lu Luanli and glanced at everyone in the car with his hand on the knife: "This is my female family. Everyone knows the rules of the world. Be careful when recruiting. See if it's OK. Don't mess around." look."
In an instant, everyone looked away, not daring to look at Chu Xisheng.
The middle-aged man's face was cold and his eyes were flickering, but when his sight touched the knife held by Chu Xisheng's hand, he couldn't help but feel a bit of fear.
In the end, he snorted coldly and moved his gaze to the window, muttering dissatisfiedly: "Young masters and ladies like you can just hire your own car. Why do you have to squeeze in with poor people like us?" Together, we won’t let anyone see it.”
The middle-aged man's complaint was very small, and Chu Xisheng just pretended that he couldn't hear it.
Lu Luanli smiled slightly and let go of the talisman in his hand.
She moved her body and leaned closely against Chu Xisheng, using Chu Xisheng's body to block the sight of the passengers.
The coachman may have felt something was wrong, so he opened the curtain and looked inside. When he found nothing unusual, he said with a cold face: "This is a carriage from Fulong Carriage and Horses. The owner is Mr. Zhang Dianshi from the county government! Don't make trouble. If you ruin my business, none of you will be able to live well."
After giving a warning, he drove the carriage away from the city gate.
Chu Xisheng also moved his gaze out the window, with a complicated expression in his eyes.
After the carriage left the city gate, one could see that both sides of the road were filled with houses made of earthen walls and thatched grass. Then there is an endless stretch of paddy fields displayed outside the car window, dotted with villages of different sizes.
It was like a picture scroll of an ancient Jiangnan water town, slowly stretching out in front of his eyes.
Chu Xisheng had seen it countless times while walking escorts. At first, he was very surprised. He felt that the air without industrial pollution was not ordinary fresh.
But now, he missed the world he came from more and more.
The carriage went eastward along the road. About seventy miles later, the scenery outside the window began to change again.
It used to be a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it is a desert in the northwest. Not only has the temperature risen dramatically, making it even hotter, but the ground has also turned into a barren desert.
This is the 'Fire Bone Cave', and this is the environment for five miles around.
In the distance, you can still see a bustling town on a hilltop ahead.
This is not only the place where Yangyang grass is produced, but it is also the most famous place for producing elixirs within a hundred miles of Xiushui County.
Many herb collectors make a living here, and various forces from Xiushui County are also gathered here.
The carriage dropped everyone off one mile away from the town. Chu Xisheng could only carry his bags and walk up the mountain with Lu Luanli.
Chu Xisheng asked as he walked: "What kind of spell does Junior Sister Lu want to practice in the Fire Bone Cave? Where does it need to go and how much time does it take? Let me tell you clearly in advance that I have to walk a lot of places here, and the time is three After five days, collect all the medicinal materials and leave. Speaking of which, what kind of magic do you want to practice in the Fire Bone Cave?"
"What I want to practice is the Fire Spirit Witch God's Curse. You probably haven't heard of it."
Lu Luanli walked behind Chu Xisheng and answered casually: "My technique can be practiced in the Fire Bone Cave and does not require a special environment. So wherever you go, I will go."
Chu Xisheng immediately turned his head and looked at Lu Luanli suspiciously.
He suspected that this woman was telling the truth just to follow him.
He couldn't help but touch his face, thinking that his charm after rebirth was so great?
Lu Luanli's pretty face turned red. She just wanted to find an excuse to follow Chu Xisheng, but she couldn't say that.
She hummed softly: "This is a kind of magic spell to invite gods. Do you know the origin of the Fire Bone Cave?"
"I don't know." Chu Xisheng shook her head, not interested.
He only knew that there was the Yangyang Grass he wanted inside.
"The Fire Bone Cave was formed from the bones of an ancient giant god, and is of the same race as our ancestor Pangu."
While Lu Luanli was explaining, he looked towards the mountainside with strange eyes: "This giant god was originally a subordinate of the fire god 'Yan Rong'. He followed Yan Rong to conquer the sky, and was eventually defeated by the Xiushui River. After his death, his bones gradually turned into Fire Bone Cave.”
"Is there an ancient giant buried in this Fire Bone Cave?" Chu Xisheng was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard that the Fire Bone Cave had such an origin.
The ancient giant gods are the ancient innate gods of this world. It is said that they are born with powers comparable to those of third-level martial arts cultivators. They are also the common ancestors of humans, demons, gods, giant spirits and giant witches in this world.
"Naturally, otherwise, why can Yangyang grass become the main ingredient of the secret medicine of Yangyuan Gong? Yangyang grass is born from the power left by the corpse of the giant god, and it can help people break the seal in their blood.
The secret medicine of the 9th and 18th level of Wuxiu Yuan Gong, a total of 18 levels, in the final analysis is to break the shackles in our bloodline step by step and lift the seal imposed on our bloodline by the ancient gods. "
Lu Luanli explained matter-of-factly: "The Fire Spirit Witch God Curse I want to practice is to attract a trace of the remnant spirit of this giant god, so that it can be used by me in the future."
At this time, her voice was slightly condensed.
The two of them had reached the front of the town, and Lu Luanli saw more than seventy wooden stakes stuck in the street at the entrance.
Every six steps, there was a corpse hanging on a wooden stake. They had all been dead for a long time, their skin was green and gray, surrounded by flies, and the wooden piles were covered with dark brown bloodstains.
Chu Xisheng looked at these wooden piles, confused and confused, and his heart sank.
