"coming!"
As the vines at the entrance of the cave were about to be lifted, Qi Linfeng stepped forward and struck a sword without hesitation. The fierce breath of fire immediately surged on the edge of the fire meteor sword. When the sword thrust out, the vines were cut off and the weeds were burned. , However, Qi Linfeng did not feel that the sword edge was in place, but the feeling of being missed made Qi Linfeng feel uncomfortable, "Oh no, I was dodged..."
Just when Qi Linfeng wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to add another blow, a figure suddenly burst in from the entrance of the cave, shaking his hands, "Don't, don't, don't do it, it's me, it's me. !" When his vision cleared, he realized that the person who came was actually a familiar face of Qi Linfeng, and that person was Jia Fugui who was supposed to be in Longdu, "Jia Fugui! Why is it you?"
"Who else could it be if you weren't me? Why are you hiding in a cave like this and aiming at my throat? You, your attack is too cruel. Have I offended you?" Looking at him Qi Linfeng couldn't help but touch the slight scratch mark on his neck, and asked curiously: "Aren't you from Longdu? How did you come here? Moreover, how did you know that I was here?"
"Qie, didn't you hire me to be an errand boy for your Qiyun Chamber of Commerce before? Are you still asking me?"
"But I'm hiding well enough for you to find me?"
Jia Fugui couldn't help but look proud, "Don't you know this boss? I've said it before. I'm an adventurer. It's common for me to go back and forth between major cities and major forests. And I don't dare to say anything. , if I look for someone to be the second best, no one in the adventurer industry would dare to be the first.”
"Oh, I don't know that you weirdo has this function. Is it true? You can find it no matter where I am?"
"Of course, I'm not boasting. As long as it doesn't go beyond half a continent, I can find it. Especially people who have been in contact with the aura, I can find them accurately. If you don't believe it, just look at this and you will know." Fugui took out a Bagua compass from his arms. The dense runes and the characters of the Bagua Zhouyi dazzled Qi Linfeng. Moreover, under the movement of it, the Bagua compass was fully stimulated and the small wheel rotated completely on its own. The little stars are amazing.
"It's no wonder that your spiritual weapon is this thing. So you also know the Bagua Zhouyi and Feng Shui numerology?"
"Well, I'm ashamed. Although this Zhoutian Bagua is a treasure passed down from my ancestors, my family has been in decline for a long time. I, I don't know those advanced fortune-telling techniques. I only know this spiritual weapon. It's just the secret technique of divination and tracking that remains on the surface. That's why I can rely on this skill to gain a foothold in the Adventurers Association. Otherwise, with my meager strength, I would have been eliminated long ago. "
"That's it." But Qi Linfeng looked at the spiritual weapon in front of him that was obviously not an ordinary thing. The fluctuations contained in it were obviously strong and upright, and it was obvious that the infinite power had not been exerted. "I'll go, it seems that I really accidentally I picked up a treasure." The ancient building records in Qi Linfeng's mind also moved, and some information immediately appeared in front of him, "It turns out that this is Senluo Wanxiang, Zhoutian Bagua, and the grade is unknown, but if you can urge it, If moved and used properly, it can rival or even far exceed the power of a sacred weapon. This thing is incredible."
"Hey, boss, why are you so dumbfounded? Although my spiritual weapon is a little weird and a bit unconventional, it is still my ancestral eater after all. Can you look at it without being so suspicious?"
Qi Linfeng temporarily adjusted his mind. After all, for the current Jia Fugui, Qi Linfeng still cannot be completely trusted. He can only be regarded as a friend. "Ahem, okay, since you have the ability, then it's okay." There’s nothing strange about it. By the way, is there something wrong with the chamber of commerce that brought you here suddenly?”
"Oh, it was Goddess Su and Zhang Qingxuan who asked me to ask what you mean, because five new weapon refiners from Tianji Pavilion have joined. Under the leadership of Master Mu Yun, Liu Yun Feixue's refining quantity has greatly increased. It has increased to the point where the daily production can reach hundreds, and after a while, Master Muyun said that he is sure that the speed and quality of refining can be improved, so don’t let me come to you to ask. Boss, your opinion."
After Qi Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but praise Mu Yun a little, "Good Mu Yun, I saw you right. Just adding five people can increase the quality and quantity of the weapon several times." After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Okay, I understand. You can go back and tell them that the business model of the Chamber of Commerce will not be changed for the time being in the past few months. On the sales day, there will be more than one sale at a time." Liuyun Feixue is temporarily hoarding it. As for the price, it will fluctuate slightly to about 10,000. As for whether to increase or decrease, Zhang Qingxuan and Su Meizi will know what to do. Also, after a while, you can let Su Meizi bring it again. Follow Mu Yun to Tianji Pavilion to recruit people. As for the method, Mu Yun knows that although our Chamber of Commerce is prosperous, it will be destroyed by the wind. What our Chamber of Commerce needs now is to settle down a little and secretly accumulate our own strength. .”
Jia Fugui was stunned for a while after hearing this, "Wow, boss, I didn't expect you to be so business-savvy. If it were a rough guy like me, I would have raised the price long ago."
"Also, you asked Zhang Qingxuan to release some news to all the cities around Longdu and even most of the Dragon Emperor Family within the past month. This probably means that Liuyun Feixue of our Qiyun Chamber of Commerce will be here in the future. Not only can it be sold only to people in Longdu, but anyone in major cities who is interested in buying it can place an order, and our chamber of commerce guarantees free delivery."
"Well, okay, I've written it down," Jia Fugui looked puzzled, "But boss, I'm not pouring cold water on you. Now our chamber of commerce is still a small chamber of commerce. I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower for both delivery and refining."
"Don't worry, Zhang Qingxuan and Su Meizi are not fools. They will know what to do."
"But boss, I'm afraid there is one more thing you need to decide."
"What?"
"It's about Goddess Su. She said that the head of the Su family asked her to stay by your side, so after a while when the Chamber of Commerce stabilizes and there are enough people, she will also come to the academy to look for you as a maid. "
Qi Linfeng was slightly ashamed, "Well, I've forgotten about this problem. Tell her that An Xin is doing me a favor by helping me take care of the Chamber of Commerce. She doesn't have to stay with me." Jia Fugui still shook his head, " Goddess Su said that you will definitely say so, so let me tell you again, she will not ignore the Chamber of Commerce, and her junior sister Su Yun'er of the Su family is said to be better at merchants than the goddess, so wait for the goddess to find you At that time, Su Yun'er will be in charge of the Longdu Chamber of Commerce."
"Su Yun'er?" Only then did Qi Linfeng remember that the Lolita who had attacked him without saying a word in the Su family and drew a sword at her was Su Yun'er, "Is it her? That little girl, can you trust me?" ?!"
"I don't know about this, but since it is someone recommended by Goddess Su, I should trust it. Moreover, the Goddess also asked me to tell the boss that people from the Su family will never betray the boss. As for the reason, you know it very well, so there is no need to Worrying about whether Su Yuner is competent and trustworthy."
Qi Linfeng looked at the sleeping undead gun in his hand at this time, and really understood what Su Luoyu meant, "Hey, okay, this is also a way, but you can let Su sister Su Yun'er try it temporarily. Give it a try and make some achievements. If you really have the ability in this area, then I will believe it."
"Okay, I've written it down." Jia Fugui kept sliding the pen in his hand, writing down all the things Qi Linfeng told him in a few records. He stood up and was about to walk out of the cave, but Qi Linfeng quickly held him back. He said, "Wait a minute, Jia Fugui, you're here anyway, why don't you do me a favor."
"Huh? Boss, what do you want me to help you with?" Jia Fugui looked at the dark and humid environment of the cave around him, and then he realized, "Speaking of which, boss, why are you alone in such a dark and humid place? I I heard that you didn’t go back to the academy with the fifth lady to rescue the fourth lady casually?”
"Originally, but there was a little accident, so I want you to help me before we leave." Looking at Qi Linfeng's obviously upbeat look, Jia Fugui also felt a little bad, "Uh, boss, Can I say no…”
"You've already called me boss, but what do you mean..."
Jia Fugui felt like he was about to cry, "Boss, what do you want me to help you with?"
"You can help me lure away those people outside who are looking for me."
Jia Fugui jumped up completely, "Damn, those fierce-looking guys outside, who seem to be looking for something, are really looking for you, the boss. What have you done? Why did you provoke so many people? There are at least fifty or sixty people." They all look like Spirit Controlling Soldiers and Spirit Controlling Masters, and even the leader is a Spirit Controlling General. No, no, no, I can’t help with this, my strength is not enough to fill their teeth.”
Qi Linfeng put his hand on his shoulder, which actually made it impossible for Jia Fugui to leave. He had a wicked smile on his face, which made Jia Fugui's heart go crazy, "Don't say that, look at you." , you can even find me hiding in such a secret place, which is enough to show your excellence, and you just seemed to have figured out the general situation of those people outside. If you don’t help me, who will help me? If I am killed by them Found it, if you die here, who will pay you?"
"This..." Jia Fugui thought about it again and again before nodding slightly in embarrassment, "Okay, okay, but boss, if I are caught by them or injured, it will be regarded as a work-related injury, and you will have to pay extra!"
"Okay, okay, I believe in your ability. Just now you were able to avoid their sight and find me. It shouldn't be difficult to distract them."
"Well, avoiding and diverting are completely different things, okay... then, little boss, what are you going to do?"
"Oh, don't worry. I won't be caught so easily. Your boss and I are not a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated."
A moment after Jia Fugui left, there was a lot of faint movement not far outside the cave. Qi Linfeng understood that this was Jia Fugui's plan to lure the enemy. After confirming that there was no movement outside, Qi Linfeng He walked sideways out of the cave, and quickly left in a certain direction with as light a step as possible and at a ripple speed, and that direction was the direction where their village was as Xiao Ling'er told him.
It’s just that reality often fools people like this. When they arrived at the village, instead of being greeted with surprise, the people in the village were shocked when they saw little Ling’er returning to the village of hundreds of people safe and sound. Each one of them seemed to have seen a ghost. Their faces and expressions were more akin to fright than surprise, "Xiao, Xiao Ling'er, are you really you? Why are you back?"
Everyone around was also in public opinion. They felt that there was not much joy for Xiao Ling'er's return, but more of the embarrassment and guilt that everyone clearly felt. Qi Linfeng also thought about it. Although he didn't know the specific reason, it turned out that Coaxing a five or six-year-old child to sacrifice to that kind of monster, anyone with a bit of conscience would change his expression, "Grandpa Village Chief, I am really a little Ling'er. You don't know, there are good things in that mountain temple." Scary, scary, big monster, so scary, I only came back after meeting this big brother, big brother is so powerful, he defeated those monsters in one or two blows."
Listening to Xiao Ling'er now more like a warrior returning with glory, telling everyone what happened along the way with pride and enthusiasm, the villagers were mostly silent, Qi Linfeng then stepped forward and said, "You are the one." The mayor of this village, right?"
"Thank you, Master, for sending little Ling'er back. He must also be the envoy to control the spirit. Please come in."
Qi Linfeng didn't have any good impressions of these guys who gave children as sacrifices to monsters. "Village chief, can I talk to you alone for a while?" Although he hesitated, the old man agreed and walked to the side. Conversation took place under the banana tree.
"The old man is here to once again express his gratitude to the young master on behalf of the whole village for his help in sending little Ling'er back."
"Hey, don't be in a hurry to thank me. I've also gone to see the so-called mountain temple. Tell me, why did you people give a five-year-old child like Xiao Ling'er to the monster as food? "
Seeing Qi Linfeng's eyes that were cold but clearly filled with hidden anger, the old man quickly looked downcast and helpless, "Oh, what a sin, in fact, we are not like this, but our village has been inhabited for nearly a thousand years. It has a long history, although it is small, but after all, this is the homeland where we were born. But about a hundred years ago, a monster that was neither a spirit nor a beast ran here from nowhere. Our village originally had a defensive spiritual formation. The evil spirit can also be blocked to some extent, but it has no effect on the monster. It hunts our village on a large scale, and several people in our village die almost every few years."
"Because of this, you thought of sacrificing children to feed the monster in order to reduce casualties? Do you have any humanity!"
The old man knelt down quickly and burst into tears. He was filled with regret, "We didn't want to either. The monster is so powerful that none of us can resist it. The monster especially likes the flesh and blood of children. We also know that it is inappropriate to sacrifice. , but if we don’t do this, our little existence is probably going to die. Although the sacrifice is helpless, it can at least preserve our existence for a few years to recuperate.”
Qi Linfeng also understood that these people in front of him also had a lot of difficulties. Although Qi Linfeng really felt disgusted and unhappy with this approach, since there were difficulties, Qi Linfeng had no right to blame them too much. , after all, life is difficult, and Qi Linfeng also gave the village chief a promise at the end that he would find a way to get rid of the monster.
Upon hearing this, the villagers were grateful for several invitations and invited Qi Linfeng into the village. They even held a small banquet in the village to thank him for his help and commitment. However, after a feast of wine and dinner, After he was full, Qi Linfeng was vaguely awakened by some movement in the middle of the night, "Huh? What's the sound? It seems like crying... Little Ling'er? Hiss, strange, I My body, why, I feel so dizzy and heavy..." Qi Linfeng tried to get up several times, but was suppressed by the overwhelming feeling of fatigue and weakness, "This feeling... ..Yes, it’s medicine……..”
