"Brother, are you from the provincial capital?" Qiao Zhenxing saw Chu Yunsheng going straight to the town leader. As one of the few people in the town who has seen the world in Shu, he is qualified to talk to other energy manipulators. People have to stand up and deal with it.
"Not bad." Chu Yunsheng did not deny it. He took out an object from behind his back, raised his hand and threw it up. He said loudly: "Exchange this object for some food with you."
Qiao Zhenxing saw a long black rod flying up, he stretched out his hand to catch it, and was forced to take two steps back until he could stabilize himself. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel more worried. With such strong strength, he was afraid that his strength would be far away. Above oneself, it is really difficult to determine whether this person is good or evil.
When he saw what was in his hand, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It turned out to be a high-end new rifle. He recognized this gun. It was made by the dark studio in the provincial capital. It cannot be exchanged unless it has more than 10,000 Lun energy rolls. The bullets were frighteningly expensive. He wanted to buy them many times, but was deterred by the high price.
However, although the gun is a good gun, without the source of bullets, it can only be a decoration. He couldn't help but said with some regret: "Brother, this gun is indeed a good gun. It's a pity that we have just received the news that the provincial capital is gone." , it’s of no use to take it. But everyone who comes here is a guest. Since brothers are passing through the town by fate, I can still afford some food. Please wait for a while and I will order someone to get it. "
After saying that, he wanted to throw the gun back to Chu Yunsheng with a trace of reluctance, but Chu Yunsheng waved his hand and said: "Although the provincial capital is destroyed, the elite are still there, and they will be rebuilt in Wudu Mountain City in the near future." ."
As he spoke, he took out another object from behind his back, shook it sparklingly and said, "Within a few months, with this energy tube, you will be able to exchange bullets from Wudu Mountain City!"
Lu Ting lent the gun to him at the beginning, but things happened so quickly that Lu Ting forgot to take it back, and Chu Yunsheng also forgot to give it back, and kept it in his talisman. It has no effect on him now. . Why not trade it with this town for something.
What he wants is not just one or two meals of food, but enough to sustain him until Ming is separated. During this long period of time, it is not just food. There are also some necessary supplies for daily life, it is best to buy them all at once.
Qiao Zhenxing has never seen such an advanced thing as an energy tube, but he has heard that it is a device used by energy banks to store various energies, and it is classified as a confidential thing. Ordinary people cannot wait to see it.
At this time, he changed his mind and thought that if the provincial capital could really be rebuilt, this business could be done. However, he was not sure whether what Chu Yunsheng said was true or not, and he was reluctant to part with the new rifle that was about to be obtained. He was in a dilemma for a while. .
"Zhenxing, why don't you let him come in and talk in detail?" Qiao Weimin saw his son's thoughts and thought for a moment while they were talking. whispered.
"This man is much stronger than me. If he is someone who does evil, I'm afraid he will bring disaster to the whole town! Do you still remember the thing I mentioned to you last time about the king of the Ma Tou Mountain Village? He spends his days harlotting other people's wives and harming other people's sons. , and kill people for fun, and do all kinds of evil!" Qiao Zhenxing frowned worriedly and said. In fact, he had a more obscure worry that he didn't say directly, but both his father and son knew it well and there was no need to say more.
Qiao Weimin shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. I observed this person and it is definitely not a long-term look. If I am not wrong, he does not want to enter the town."
Qiao Zhenxing glanced at his father. Qi said: "Dad, how can you see this?"
"Look at him wearing clothes and armor. If he had sneaked in with bad intentions, he would not be like this. He would only deliberately pretend to be an ordinary person and seek shelter. He will only attack after entering the town. This is the first, and the second, If he really has bad intentions and doesn't disarm, he can only prepare to attack by force, but you have also seen that he has no such intention; thirdly, you want to give him a small amount of food, but he is not satisfied and still insists on trading. , it shows that what he needs is more than just a little help." Qiao Weimin pointed at Chu Yunsheng and analyzed three points logically.
"It does sound a bit like that. Don't tell me, Dad, you are still so good. You deserve to be the deputy mayor for the rest of your life!" Qiao Zhenxing thought about it over and over again and felt that what his father said was reasonable. Not to say it was conclusive, at least* * Points are available.
"It's just that there's another strange thing. Since he said that Fog City is being rebuilt, why didn't he stay there instead of running around?" Qiao Weimin ignored his son's "flattering" and asked this unavoidable question, Still looking very cautious.
"Dad, you don't understand this. The thing in his hand is incredible. He might have picked it up from the ruins of the energy bank. At this age, if a person doesn't die for himself, I'm afraid he won't be far away from the reconstruction. I want to hide out for a while." Qiao Zhenxing thought about it and felt that if it was really going to be rebuilt, there would be no need for senior operators who can wear armor to stay in their small town, as long as they are not evildoers. , Logically speaking, it’s okay.
"If you put it like that, it can barely be explained. In fact, it doesn't matter. He is a foreigner after all, and the people in this world don't recognize him." Qiao Weimin vaguely said the other side of the father and son's worries. With a thought in his heart, he added: "Don't we always want to recruit a few energy manipulators to deal with the degraded beasts on the top of Beishan? This person is too powerful. Although it is not satisfactory, it may be easy to turn against the guest. However, if this person is okay, If so, it’s not impossible!”
"Dad, you're not talking about Xiaowan, are you? I think you should give up on this idea. She has a high vision. I am afraid that in the whole provincial city, only Lin Konghui can catch her eye." Qiao Zhenxing shook his head repeatedly. .
"No matter how high-minded she is, it is not her turn to make the decision. I am her father's cousin. When her father died, he entrusted both mother and daughter to the family. I can still do this." Qiao Weimin said unconcernedly He said, after all, he is now the patriarch of the Qiao family, and the old men are almost gone. In terms of seniority, he is also the eldest.
The two of them were silent for a while. Seeing that Chu Yunsheng below was already a little impatient, and fearing that he would get angry, he quickly shouted from above: "Brother, if this is the case, why don't we go to the town to talk."
Chu Yunsheng was so hungry right now that he was afraid of fainting if he didn't replenish food. He didn't have much to worry about in this small town. He and Mingdao Mountain had already walked through the sea of fire. How could he be afraid of this place?
The suspension bridge was lowered slowly, and Chu Yunsheng entered eagerly. As soon as he entered the town, he felt uncomfortable all over. Walking on the street, the adults were fine. They looked at them curiously from the windows or corners at most, but the children were different. , "Naked" expressed their curiosity with practical actions. If Qiao Weimin was not afraid of something happening, he asked the militia to disperse. These kids can follow him.
In the only town government building in Hulukouzi, Chu Yunsheng ate his first meal in days. A sense of fulfillment suddenly filled his limbs, as if he was coming to life in a trance. As for the repeated testing by the mayor and his son, he was not thinking about it, so he forgot what was going on and forgot what was going on, and he didn't know what they wanted to say.
After eating and drinking enough. Negotiate an exchange price with the father and son. In addition to food, there are also some simple daily necessities, and a clear list.
Because the quantity he wanted was large, the mayor Qiao Weimin said that he needed some time to allocate it from the town's general treasury, so he arranged for Chu Yunsheng to take a rest at the guest house in the town.
Chu Yunsheng didn't pay much attention. He closed the door and let his mind sink into his body, thinking carefully about how to solve the split problem.
If Ming is removed by force. According to his current situation, Ming occupies most of the source of life. Once separated, he will most likely die suddenly due to lack of source of life. However, if it is not removed, not only will the speed problem not be solved, but he will also be unable to practice. ontology.
The key point is the source of life, which is an unknown thing. He vaguely feels that something is wrong, such an important thing. The senior didn't even mention a word in his ancient book!
If the senior's cultivation level didn't know its existence, even if Chu Yunsheng were beaten to death, he wouldn't believe it. He could feel it even if he was only in the realm below the Three Yuan Heaven, let alone the senior! ?
But why didn't he say a word about it? No matter which way to explain it. None of it seems to make sense.
After much deliberation, Chu Yunsheng couldn't figure out the reason, so he simply explored on his own. One thing is for sure, as his cultivation progresses, the source of life will gradually be restored. Since the first time he sealed Hades, he first turned into an old man and then into a skeleton, but in the end he returned to his original appearance, indicating that it could at least be restored.
But how to speed up its recovery is a difficult problem. Not to mention the inability to cultivate the body, cultivation alone cannot be achieved overnight. He still vividly remembers the matter of producing mucus.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Yunsheng could only feel the feeling of extreme hunger just now, and concluded that the source of life may be related to food, but he couldn't eat a year's worth of food in one day, even if it really did. There is nothing we can do about the relationship.
After struggling for a long time, I put the jade tablets recovered from the ruins through intermittent connections into the ancient books. Probably the ancient books were still changing and there was no response, so I leaned on the bed and fell asleep in a hazy state. , I felt in a daze, as if sleep also had an effect on the source of life, and for a while, I couldn't understand it.
Calculating the time, the father and son should have prepared food. Chu Yunsheng couldn't think about the secret of the source of life, so he simply prepared to go to the government building to wait. If that didn't work, he would have to walk to the East China Sea first. By then , it’s time to recover!
After leaving the guest house, he saw someone pulling him halfway and said, "Brother, I see that you have a strange appearance. Why don't you let me make a divination for you?"
Since the Dark Ages, Chu Yunsheng has traveled almost half of China, and this is the first time he has seen people in the survivor area making a living from this. They look a bit like the witches in Jinling City.
"If you can answer me a question, I will not only let you do divination, but also give you food." Chu Yunsheng has not believed in this since the Sunshine Era. In his experience and impression, these people are all liars. How can seniors such as seniors who can make big predictions make a living doing this? Then he said coldly.
"Brother, just say it, I know half of the things in the sky, but the things on the ground -" Bai Ertiao patted his chest and opened his mouth with familiarity.
"I'm going to ask you, underground, just one question, why do people need to eat?" Chu Yunsheng interrupted him and said smoothly.
"Brother, you are asking the right person. If you ask those liars running around in the world about this question, I can guarantee you that they are all talking nonsense and none of them are reliable. But I have real talent and learning. of……"
Bai Ertiao actually didn't know how to answer this question at all. He had graduated from elementary school and was basically illiterate in biological knowledge. But he knew that deception had to be more mysterious and incredible to be effective. Firstly, to attract customers' interest, and secondly. There was no way to prove the mysterious things, so he was talking nonsense while thinking rapidly. When he saw Chu Yunsheng kept walking, he said anxiously:
"Brother, brother, don't go, listen to me. The focus of your question is not "why", but "rice" and "food". What do you think we eat? Chicken, pork, Fish, beef and mutton, rice, wheat noodles, vegetables, fruits, etc., what are these? These are all animals and plants, all living things, life! So according to the saying passed down by the ancestors of our sect, that is to nourish with life. Life!"
Bai Ertiao swallowed and glanced at Chu Yunsheng's expression. However, he saw that Chu Yunsheng did not change his face. Instead, he frowned and looked thoughtful. According to his many years of experience, 70% to 80% of the time he had passed the test. , secretly glad that in the panic, he remembered that the dead ghost master once answered a noble man like this.
"There's no need for divination for hexagrams. I keep my word. Follow me to the government building to get food." Chu Yunsheng knew that he was making up nonsense, but somehow, this nonsense touched a heartstring of his and made him think. Long-standing questions were connected in an instant!
I suddenly took a breath of cold air and vaguely felt that behind the bright biological chain based on food, there might be a dark biological chain based on the source of life! And this will involve the origin of death and birth. Chu Yunsheng suddenly thought, is this the reason why the senior did not mention the source of life?
"Brother, if you don't know, I won't know. In fact, I'm looking for you because I have a big deal." Bai Ertiao looked around and said mysteriously.
"Big deal?" Chu Yunsheng said as he walked.
"Brother, you may not know that your outfit has caused a sensation in our whole town. Mayor Qiao and his son are preparing to trick you. They thought no one knew about it, but I heard everything from the wall." Bai Ertiao said with a proud smile.
"Honey trap? What a mess!" Chu Yunsheng was too lazy to pay attention to the nervous fortune teller and strode towards the government building.
"Isn't this a beauty trap? Mayor Qiao is really willing to give up. Qiao Xiaowan is the most charming beauty in our town, and her vision is frightening-" Bai Ertiao looked up and found Chu Yunsheng walking away, and hurriedly chased after him. road:
"Hey, brother, wait for me. We have a big secret here. Ten miles north of the town, there is a big mountain valley. I don't know when a towering tree like a mountain grew. This tree is so strange. Fruits are produced in the white ground. Old farmers have tried eating them. Although they contain toxins, they are first-class good food. They can not only satisfy hunger, but can also be used as medicine. They are many times better than the mycelium on the periphery of the spore forest. This Qiao The father and son wanted to monopolize it, but unexpectedly a group of degenerate beasts were brought in, which specialized in feeding on the mosquito monsters in the big mountain trees. This blocked the way to make money, so..."
