Chong'er burst into tears and choked up after understanding what he meant, "Master, Master Shiheng is a good man and will not leave us alone."
Xu Fei was speechless and thought, how much do you know about him? I am oblivious!
But it’s hard to say much at this time.
Yu Qing in front took off his officer's clothes as he walked, and shouted, "Brother Xu, we can't wear this anymore." He didn't say why he couldn't wear it, he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and tied his hair casually. Ponytail.
Xu Fei did as he was told, and also took off his clothes and tied a ponytail, but his hands were empty, and his knife had fallen under the waterfall.
Zhong'er was the only exception. He found a suitable branch and used it as a hairpin after simply processing it. He tied his hair up and pinned it up. He was still more accustomed to dressing like a normal man.
At the foot of a mountain, Yu Qing asked the two of them to wait and climbed to the top of the mountain. He climbed up and looked around.
Based on the sunset position, he judged the directions of southeast, northwest, but it was useless to just know these directions. Although walking in one direction could get out of the ancient tomb wasteland, it was impossible to run rampant in the ancient tomb wasteland. It was too dangerous.
He hopes to find the origin of the smoke-shrouded fire to shorten the distance of the adventure.
I remember that a huge mountain fire had burned in the place where it was attacked. It was estimated that it would be difficult to extinguish it in half a day. Moreover, in that case, alertness was the top priority. No one dared to spare the effort to put out the fire for a while, so the sky above that place It must be shrouded in a large smoke. As long as you find that location, you will have a direction to return to the team.
No matter what happened, Ashheng's affairs were the most important, and he had to finish his trip to Beijing to take the exam.
However, I couldn't see it. I checked the surrounding sky repeatedly and couldn't see any signs of fire burning anywhere.
It’s over! Yu Qing knew he was in trouble. He floated around in the underground river for a long time, and he didn't know where he was transported by the rapids. Judging from the situation, it was probably not far away from the original place where the fierce battle took place. Even if he could find the original place, when they ran over, I'm afraid that the people rushing to take the exam have already left, and it's impossible to stay and wait for the three of them.
It must have been more than fifty miles away from the official road, and it must have entered the territory of the demon world.
Disobeying the fifty-mile agreement and trespassing into the monster world is the real big trouble. What we have to avoid now is not the monsters attacking the exam team, but the monsters in the entire ancient tomb wasteland.
Regretful, Yu Qingrui shouldn't be greedy for money, otherwise how could he end up like this.
At this point, he could only take one step at a time, and there was no point in regretting and rushing. He waved down the mountain, calling Xu Fei and Chong'er to go up the mountain.
On the way up the mountain just now, he found a cave where they could stay. It was almost dark, so he had to wait until dawn for the night.
By the time the three of them got some hay and settled in the cave, it was completely dark and the sky outside the cave was filled with stars.
Yu Qing and Xu Fei made an appointment to take turns keeping watch at the entrance of the cave. Yu Qing would stay at midnight and Xu Fei would stay at midnight. Chong'er's sentry duty was just for decoration, so there was no need for it.
Not long after Xu Fei lay down, he snored loudly.
Chong'er quickly fell asleep amidst the noise, snoring softly.
Yu Qing was sitting outside the cave, leaning on a rock and looking at the stars, thinking about how to get out of here. With his eyesight all dark, it would be great if he could get a map of the ancient tomb wasteland.
Just when his mind was changing, he suddenly saw a "star" beating in the sky. He couldn't help but be startled. When he looked closely, he found that it was not a star, but a fire.
He slowly stood up and stared, not knowing whether it was a human or a demon who lit the fire. Judging from the location, it should be in a mountain on the other side of the river.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go and check it out, then turned around and got into the cave, patting Xu Fei who was sleeping soundly.
Xu Fei didn't respond. Yu Qing looked at Huo Da and saw that he could sleep peacefully in such a place. He immediately covered Xu Fei's mouth and nose.
After a while, Xu Fei woke up, his eyes widened and he struggled.
Yu Qing opened his nose to ventilate the air, only covered his mouth, and whispered: "There seems to be someone on the other side of the river. I will touch over and take a look. You will guard the entrance of the cave."
Xu Fei nodded.
The two of them came out of the cave one after another, and Xu Fei asked in a low voice, "Where?"
Yu Qing pointed to the light of the fire. Xu Fei took a closer look and said worriedly: "Be careful."
Yu Qing hummed and was about to leave.
Xu Fei suddenly grabbed Yu Qing's arm again, "Brother Shi Heng, you must be good. As long as Chong'er and I can reach the capital safely this time, I am willing to pay Brother Shi Heng 4,000 taels of silver as reward." .”
He had wanted to say this before when he came ashore, but he was worried that it would be insulting to say it, so he never had the nerve to say it, as a scholar.
Now seeing that Yu Qing was leaving alone, he was very worried that Yu Qing would never come back.
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, it would be troublesome for anyone to have two burdens in this environment, so I had to offer an 'insulting' price.
Those twenty kilograms of spiritual rice were worth two thousand taels. He was willing to fight for two thousand taels of silver. Xu Fei felt that he would be able to impress the other party by doubling it and giving four thousand taels.
Sure enough, when he heard that he could get four thousand taels of silver, Yu Qing's eyes immediately lit up, and he felt that the trip was worth it. The danger level of this place had dropped rapidly in his mind, but he said politely: "Brother Xu, let's What is the relationship between them? Talking about money would be an insult to politeness..." The topic suddenly changed again, "Besides, where did you get the four thousand taels of silver? You even threw away your luggage. I'm afraid you are penniless now. ?”
Xu Fei knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it, and knew that his judgment was correct. Money was the most direct and effective thing for this guy. He immediately became energetic and didn't bother to talk to him about being polite. He said bluntly: "I am now I am penniless, but once I get to the capital, I will have money. My uncle is doing business in the capital. Although he is doing some small business, he can still come up with four thousand taels of silver. With my current status as a juren, I can find my uncle to help me get around. A thousand taels of silver is not a problem, Brother Shiheng doesn’t need to worry about this.”
Yu Qing raised his hand and smoothed his ponytail, and chuckled, "Just listen to what the red mouth and white teeth said casually. How can you take it seriously? If you don't give it to me later, I can't do anything to you."
Xu Fei said seriously: "I can write you an IOU. But I don't have paper and pen now. As long as I find paper and pen, I will immediately write the IOU as evidence."
Yu Qing immediately turned back to look at the light of the fire, muttering secretly in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't do it without borrowing a pen and paper.
He had no intention of leaving the situation alone. If he had no other choice, he would not give up on the two of them easily. It was just a matter of course, but he didn't expect that he would still make money.
Sorry, you have to face reality, right? He knew that after he went to Beijing to complete his mission, he would return to Linglong Temple to practice in seclusion. He didn't know how long he would be in seclusion. If he could make a fortune by the way, he couldn't be polite.
Although he was rude in his heart, he still said politely: "Brother Xu, you are making things difficult for me. Alas, I also know what you are worried about. If I don't agree, you will have trouble sleeping and eating. No matter what, you can With my heart in my heart, I will just promise you for now, and I will do my best to protect you."
Seeing that he was still acting helpless, Xu Fei sighed in his heart, but still thanked him, "Brother Xie Shiheng, thank you for your help."
Yu Qing patted him on the shoulder, turned around and went down the mountain quickly.
On the way, he sneaked all the way to the river, jumped into the river, quickly crossed the river with his cultivation, stepped onto the bank and went straight towards the light.
After probably sneaking for four or five miles, he climbed up a mountain and quietly reached the halfway point of the mountain, where the fire came from. He lay down on a tree and took a peek.
There is also a cave halfway up the mountain. There is a flat ground outside the cave, and a bonfire is burned. There is a pot on the fire, and two men and one woman are cooking around the bonfire.
Two old men and an old woman failed to attract Yu Qing's attention. Instead, a woman who happened to walk out of the cave made it difficult for Yu Qing to take his eyes away.
She is a woman wearing a bamboo hat, wrapped in a green cloak, and her face under the bamboo hat is covered with a green gauze scarf, half of her face is exposed, making her face unclear.
When passing by the fire, the firelight illuminated half of the face under the bamboo hat, and Yu Qing could see that half of the face clearly.
The skin is very fair, a little cinnabar is prominent between the eyebrows, the eyes are as bright as water, the long eyelashes are curved, and the eyes are very beautiful. The key point is that the woman's graceful movements exude a softness and elegance, and she has a temperament that attracts Yu Qing's eyes.
Even though he only saw half of her face, even though he didn't see her entire face clearly, Yu Qing subconsciously determined that she must be a great beauty.
When the woman walked to the edge of the mountain and stood still, looking up at the stars, the bonfire was behind her. Through the light, the body under the cloak was hazy, Pingpingtingtingting. The graceful and graceful charm of the body under the sense of light made Yu Qing's young heart stir.
Yu Qing had not been around the secular world for long, and had never had serious contact with women. He was still a newbie in this regard. His understanding of women basically came from his junior uncle's narrations, because his junior junior uncle seemed to be very fond of women. Understand women.
When a person reaches a young age, he has longed for women. He had all kinds of beautiful fantasies, but his junior uncle said that the women at the bottom of the mountain were like tigers, so he poured a lot of buckets of cold water on him.
At this moment, Yu Qing felt that his longing for women was rekindled by the grace and grace of the woman in front of him. He was yearning for a beauty he had never had before.
The woman was silent for a while at the edge of the mountain, then turned around with a soft sigh.
The moment he turned around, Yu Qing's eyes were dazzled by a faint light, and he stared at it subconsciously.
It was a round iron buckle hanging from the woman's waist. It was black and about the size of a copper coin. When the firelight shone on it, it felt like a cold light was wandering on it.
Looking at the shape of the iron buckle, Yu Qing immediately understood who this woman was. These people in front of him should all be businessmen from Youjiao Port.
The iron plate is called "Youju plate", which can only be obtained by those who have obtained the qualification to live in Youjiao Port. One side is engraved with the pattern of Youya, and the other side is engraved with the names of shops in Youjiao Port. It is the name of the people who control Youjiao Port. The rules issued by Youya are also used to prove the identity of merchants in Youjiaobu.
This thing is difficult to counterfeit, and I don't know what method Youya used to refine it. Just like the dim light that Yu Qing saw, this 'Youju card' can only reflect that kind of luster on the body of the real owner. As soon as it leaves The original owner will immediately become non-reflective, which is quite magical.
