"Uh..." Yu Qing was a little hesitant. If he didn't know the price of this incense, he would definitely say that the more the better. Now, he grew up poor and felt that this incense was too expensive, and he couldn't figure out what to look for. How long will the fire crickets continue to cause trouble? I am afraid that the other party will have objections to my squandering money, so I am a little afraid to make a conclusion.
Tie Miaoqing seemed to know what he was thinking, "It's okay, I guess it's easy."
Yu Qing could only hesitate and said: "Then buy a hundred?" He didn't know if the other party was willing to spend such a large sum of money, at least for him it was definitely a big sum of money.
Tie Miaoqing confirmed to him, "Is one hundred pills enough?"
Yu Qing was not sure, so he hesitated again and said, "Maybe it's about the same."
Tie Miaoqing thought for a moment and said to Tiaoshan, who was waiting with arms folded, "I want two hundred."
"Okay!" Tiaoshan Lin smiled happily and counted on the spot. At the end of the count, he found that there were only about 160 sticks of Xiangxiang. He had to raise his head in embarrassment and said: "This boss lady, can't you do a branch of 160 sticks? I count you. The price is one hundred and fifty."
Tie Miaoqing raised his chin to signal to Sun Ping. Sun Ping immediately paid the bill, one thousand three hundred and fifty taels, and the money and goods were paid.
Yu Qing, who was standing aside, couldn't hide his envy as he watched Tiaoshan Li collect a lot of money.
He knew the price of burning incense very well. It was often used in Taoist temples. This little thing didn't cost even one tael of silver, but it actually sold for more than a thousand taels here, making almost two thousand times. What a real huge profit!
With such a huge profit, he wanted to do the mountain hunting. However, he knew that this mountain hunting was not something anyone could do. The key was that the threshold for entry was relatively tight, and he first needed to get approval from all parties. . For example, how could the person in front of me enter and exit the demon world to do business without the approval of the demon world?
How can all parties recognize you if they don’t know your details? If you want to be a pickpocket on each family's territory, you must clearly explain your details. Yu Qing cannot do this alone. Linglong Temple has sect rules and cannot easily expose the secrets of the sect.
There are probably many practitioners who find this difficult.
Sun Ping purchased some more necessities for living here, and also bought clothes for Yu Qing and others who were not wearing coats, and then ended the transaction.
Tiao Shanling closed the door of the shop, got under the shop again and carried it, pulled out the four horizontal bolts, and repeatedly pulled a rope to retract the four pillars into the pavilion, and then pushed the four horizontal bolts to lock the feet. Zhu, then carried the huge thing and said goodbye to everyone.
Everyone watched him wander away, and Xu Fei couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed by someone carrying so much property in this barren mountain?"
Yu Qing rolled his eyes at him, "Rob? You have an agreement with all parties before you can join this business. If you dare to rob, it doesn't matter if he lets you rob him. If he is robbed on the ground of the demon world, the demon world will compensate him for everything." The corresponding loss is equivalent to helping him sell all the goods at once. As for the murderer, he doesn't care who the murderer is, but you'd better not let the demon world find out who it is, otherwise you will definitely die miserably."
When Sun Ping and others heard this, they looked at him and realized that this scholar knew a lot about the world. Could he still have time and energy to study?
Xu Fei nodded, saying that he had gained a lot of experience, "Carrying such a heavy thing around, you earn hard-earned money."
"If you can afford it, you will naturally have the strength to bear it. If you have a low cultivation level, you can carry a smaller house. If you have a high cultivation level, you can naturally carry a larger house. The person in front of you should be a Xuan-level mountain warrior. Brother Xu, don't worry about it." Yu Qing patted him on the shoulder, with a look that said, "Remember to give me my four thousand taels of silver when you get to the capital."
Xu Fei didn't realize it, but still lamented that it was such an eye-opener, "A man can climb a mountain, a demon can travel thousands of miles, and a man can reach the world. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Today I have seen something."
"A man can carry a mountain, a demon can travel thousands of miles, and a man can reach the heaven and earth" is a common saying in the world, and everyone in the world should have heard it more or less.
Ren Tiaoshan refers to Tiaoshan Lang, while Yao Qianli refers to the "Qianlilang" who is as famous as "Tiaoshan Lang".
Tiaoshanling is a salesman who can travel between two worlds, while Senrilang is a messenger who can travel between two worlds. When you want to send a letter or something, and you want it delivered quickly, you can ask Senrilang for help. Senrirou is mostly a demon who has been trained as a bird. He can fly quickly and has special advantages that other monks do not have. He can deliver items quickly.
But the price is also very considerable. If you ask a demon cultivator to run errands and deliver things for you alone, it’s really cheap.
The saying that a man can climb a mountain and a demon can travel thousands of miles is the result of the compromise between man and demon long ago.
Tiaoshan Lang is in the hands of human monks, while Qianlilang is in the hands of demon cultivators. It's just that sending letters may involve leaking secrets, and the high cost is secondary. Therefore, the court would rather continue to use less efficient post stations to deliver some official documents or secrets involving demon cultivators.
Erlang connects the heaven and the earth, which means that Tiaoshan Lang and Qianlilang can cross the two realms at will and reach anywhere in the sky and the earth.
Yu Qing naturally knows more about these than Xu Fei, but this is not the time to talk to him anymore.
The things were ready. Tie Miaoqing, who looked calm but was actually anxious, no longer wanted to delay. He ordered everyone to continue setting off. After asking Yu Qing what he meant, he went straight to the nearest underground cave where the fire cricket was found last time.
It didn't take too long, and the road wasn't too far. It was the cave where Yu Qing and Tie Miaoqing met for the first time last night. It wasn't far from the cave where Yu Qing and the other three spent the night. It felt like the group was running around, especially with the Running around with two encumbrances.
But there was no way. Yu Qing was worried about these people and insisted on taking Xu Fei and Chong'er with him, not giving these people a chance to make excuses. Especially because of the presence of Cheng Shanping, he always felt that the guy's eyes were a bit strange.
There were still traces of last night's bonfire outside the cave, and it was a completely different scene when we visited again during the day. The group did not linger, but lit a few torches and entered the cave directly.
There are obvious traces of excavation on the four walls of the cave, and the traces of time are also obvious. It is unknown which era they were left over.
The underground passage is not smooth. If you encounter large rocks that are difficult to dig, you will avoid it. The overall trend is still downward.
Going deep into the ground, the outside light is cut off, and the light of the torch in your hand cannot shine far.
For Xu Fei and Chong'er, the endless darkness ahead is like a confused future. They don't know where they are going, they can only take one step at a time, and they can't control themselves at all.
The two of them were on tenterhooks all the way, and they couldn't let go. They didn't know what happened in the past two days, and they were always in a state of hanging by a thread.
When he saw the light on the other side of the underground again, Yu Qing didn't know how deep he had gone down. He only estimated that he had walked more than ten miles underground.
There was a red light at the end. He could feel the temperature rising before he got close. After walking for a while, Chong'er couldn't adapt to it. The high temperature would make people feel suffocated. He, an ordinary person, had to stop. Xu Fei slightly Good point, but let him stay for his own good.
Tie Miaoqing asked Sun Ping to take the two of them back some distance to a cool place to rest.
The others continued to move forward, and when the red light enveloped them, they were already in an underground space of several acres, with red molten lava, dry heat and dotted with small islands and unmelted bamboo shoots. Connecting the upper and lower parts, there is the sound of lava bubbles gushing out from the ground from time to time.
"That's it." Tie Miaoqing pointed to a corner, "We found a fire cricket there yesterday. We didn't notice it until it got into the crack and ran away. When it lay motionless, it completely blended in with the color of the charred rocks here. , it is integrated and difficult to distinguish, and it will run away before you even notice it.”
Yu Qing observed the environment of this space and asked, "Is it just one?"
Tie Miaoqing also looked up and down, "I can't be sure about this. Molten is like water and fish. There may be connections under the molten here with other places. Is this fire cricket swimming here, or has it always been living here?" Can not be sure."
Yu Qing turned around and glanced at Cheng Shanping, who was an eyesore, and said, "Let everyone else move away."
Tie Miaoqing didn't know what he was going to do, so he stretched out his hand to grab a package Zhu Shangbiao was carrying, and tilted his head to signal for the others to move away.
Seeing that the landlady was so obedient, Cheng Shanping snorted, but turned around and left.
When there were only two people left on the scene, Tie Miaoqing asked: "What are you going to do?"
how to do? Yu Qing felt a cry in his heart. He had never seen what the environment was like in a land of earth fire and lava before. Today was the first time he had seen it. Only now did he realize that the space of several acres of land, coupled with the rising and circulating heat, was burning incense. Burning one stick at a time is of no use, and burning one or two hundred sticks of incense at the same time will not last long.
But he knew very well that if he couldn't give an explanation, he wouldn't be able to escape easily.
At this point, in the situation in front of him, he had no confidence at all in catching Fire Cricket, so he had to really start thinking about ways to escape, thinking about how to escape under the noses of these Xuan-level masters.
After some deliberation, and considering the terrain he observed along the way, and having an escape plan in mind, he asked: "You have caught the fire cricket, what disguise are you going to use?"
Tie Miaoqing immediately took out an apple-sized iron can from the package in his hand and handed it to him: "When I came here, I had a few specially made for holding fire crickets. I don't know what they are. I don’t know what its habits are, so I put a little more effort into the lid. By twisting it, it can be converted into two modes: one with air holes and one without air holes.”
Yu Qing took it in his hand, unscrewed the lid, checked it and said, "I want two pots of water, a towel, and chop me a tree."
The temperature in this place is high and it is easy to get thirsty. It is understandable to ask for water and towels, but I don’t understand what it means to cut down a tree. Tie Miaoqing asked: "What do you want a tree for?"
Yu Qing said calmly: "I didn't know the environment here before. After observing it, after careful consideration, I decided to build another altar."
Altar? Tie Miaoqing was suspicious and didn't understand, but he didn't refuse. He thought about it and asked, "How big of a tree do you want? It's too long. I'm afraid it won't be easy to carry it in."
Yu Qing: "It can be cut into sections."
Tie Miaoqing didn't say anything more, turned around and left. He came back after a while and informed: "We have to wait for a while. It will take some time to go back and forth."
Yu Qing nodded, asked for incense from her, carried it on his back, took out one, walked to the side of the hot lava lake, squatted in front of the scorching heat, lit it on the red lava, and the incense instantly Smoke and light.
He stood up and held the incense in both hands, with a pious look on his face. He seemed to be worshiping the gods, but in fact he was staring at the incense and observing the movement of the smoke. After a while, he realized that there was little circulation in the underground air.
Tie Miaoqing saw that he was looking like a psychic again, so he held his breath and did not dare to disturb him.
Later, while it still took some time to get the trees, Yu Qing began to jump around on the island and land of the lava lake despite the high temperature. He began to observe the terrain in detail and prepare for his upcoming plan.
