After climbing over this small snow mountain, Zhang Wanwan and his party came to a small town.
This town is located in a low-lying basin. It looks very prosperous. Every household lives in a blue brick building.
It was already evening, smoke was drifting in the dim sky, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.
What seems weird is that from a distance, snow-white lanterns are hung in front of every house, with big words of "Die" on them.
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Wanwan couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
"Why does this place look like this?" Zhang Wanwan asked.
Li Qingfeng explained, "This place is called Fengyue Town. It was originally just a border town, poor and backward. But ten years ago, an extremely wealthy man suddenly moved here, built a huge construction project, and built a huge manor here. Many industries were purchased and the town was well managed, making it the most famous town on the border of Jizhou. When traders from other places came to Jizhou, they would usually come here to rest and replenish supplies.
However, strange things suddenly happened in this town the year before last. Warriors frequently died inexplicably, and their deaths were extremely cruel. Either their blood and essence were sucked from their entire body, or their internal organs were eviscerated. This made the people in the town panic. Some merchant teams did not dare to enter the town to rest and stayed far away.
The prefecture and county officials also sent people to search overtly and covertly several times, but they could not catch the real culprit, so they could only evacuate in anger.
There are rumors that this was the work of the zombie remnants that were exterminated during the Human-Monster War. Now they have become a climate and want to reappear.
Later, the rich man offered a huge reward. As long as someone could catch the murderer hiding in the dark, he could receive the reward.
For a time, countless martial arts masters took action and laid a dragnet throughout Fengyue Town, but the murderer was still not caught.
The murderer remained silent for a long time and did not show his face again. Everyone thought he was scared away.
Unexpectedly, just when the masters were retreating, the rich man suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma.
His family invited countless famous doctors to try to cure him, but all were unable to do anything.
Some people say that this is because the rich man offended the zombies, so the zombies cursed him in order to retaliate against him.
Some people also say that it was actually his sons who deliberately poisoned him in order to fight for the family property.
No one knows the specific situation. Perhaps the truth can only be revealed when the old rich man wakes up. "
"So this is..." Zhang Wanwan hesitated.
"This is a trick created by his sons. They said that the whole town was mourning, and they apologized to the zombies and calmed them down, so that the old rich man could be let go." Li Qingfeng said with some disdain, "Qingcheng Mountain was originally prepared to Someone was sent over to check the situation. Because there is not only a problem here, but also similar situations have occurred in the Yumenguan area of Yongzhou and on the border of Yuzhou.
But the sons of the old rich man insisted on handling the matter themselves and not letting people from Qingcheng Mountain enter the town. "
A playful smile appeared on Zhang Wanwan's face.
"Hahaha, I really want to see what this legendary zombie looks like! Let's go, today I will take the brothers to drink and eat meat, and reward you well."
…………
At the outermost edge of the town, there was a circle surrounded by wooden frames, and several soldiers
He stood there, questioning and checking passers-by who wanted to enter the town.
Li Qingfeng explained to Zhang Wanwan, "This is because there has been a war recently, so the inspections have been stricter. This was not the case in the past."
Zhang Wanwan nodded.
"You guys, what is loaded in this car? What are you planning to do here?" the thick-looking soldier asked in a rough voice.
Qingfeng Li took a step forward and replied, "We are traveling merchants. We were passing by and wanted to find a shop here to rest for a night. The car is loaded with local specialties."
As he spoke, Li Qingfeng quietly stuffed a few coins into the soldier's hand.
The brothers behind him also lifted a corner of the tarpaulin covering the car and showed the soldiers what was inside.
The soldier got the money, grinned, and waved his hand to let them in.
After entering the town, Zhang Wanwan began to look around.
The alleys in the town are very spacious, and the vendors without fronts are sitting on the ground, hawking and selling their products.
"Let's take a look. This is a peerless sword that I got from my senior brother from the Yi Sword Sect. It can make quick decisions and sharpen iron like clay. If it weren't for my livelihood, I wouldn't sell it at all..."
"Come, come, come, don't miss it when you pass by. There is a peerless skill here. This is a skill left by an eighth-level powerhouse. It is absolutely authentic and real. It can allow you to rise to the fourth level in three days and break through the fifth level in five days. Pin, the opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you..."
"A peerless treasure, this is the thousand-year-old ice that I dug out from the depths of the northern Jizhou ice field. I have asked an expert to look at it. There is an eighth-grade ice lotus hidden in it..."
"After taking a look, there are a large number of Jizhou Icefield's treasured Ice Fragrant Butterflies here. They were all just caught from the icefield. They are sold cheaply."
"I've come to see it, I've come to see it. The secret technique taught by the Jizhou Ancient Phoenix Sect is absolutely true. I sent my sister to the Ancient Phoenix Sect and then asked her to copy it with her own hands..."
Zhang Wanwan listened to these cries with an expression of great interest, looking here and touching there.
Qingfeng Li came close to Zhang Wanwan and whispered, "Most of the things here are fake. You must not buy anything here casually..."
He said this after hesitating for a long time. After all, he was working for Zhang Wanwan, so he was not qualified to care whether he bought things or not.
He had taken an order before and sent a boss to Jizhou, but he ran into a group of scammers. The boss was fooled into being fooled, and Qingfeng Li couldn't persuade him, and was driven away by the boss.
The last thing Li Qingfeng heard was that the boss had been defrauded of all his money and hanged himself in grief.
From then on, when Li Qingfeng hired a private escort, he would not care about matters other than the boss's safety. Even if the boss wanted to be deceived, he would not care.
But for some reason, Li Qingfeng always felt that this old man Zhang Wanwan was very unusual.
Among the many people he has met, Zhang Wanwan is the most mysterious one.
He couldn't help but want to persuade Zhang Wanwan.
Hearing this, Zhang Qianwan said with a smile, "Just look at the pictures and enjoy these things. I won't buy them."
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the street.
Zhang Wanwan turned around and saw a group of servants in thick cotton-padded jackets walking past the street, shouting and shouting.
Come.
"Whoever has the ability to cure the illness of the head of the Huo family, the eldest son of the Huo family will reward you with ten taels of gold!"
"The eldest son of the Huo family has always kept his word. If anyone has the ability, please step forward!"
The servants walked through the streets and alleys shouting loudly, and the passers-by were all very excited, but unfortunately no one stood up.
"I guess the old man of the Huo family's illness cannot be cured. When the elder of the Ancient Phoenix Sect who was responsible for refining the elixir came, he shook his head and sighed, saying that she couldn't even see the old man's illness. Even this Everyone has spoken, unless it’s an immortal descending to earth, otherwise he will definitely die.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who says it's not the case? I guess if there is anyone else in the world who can save the old man of the Huo family, it is only the Medicine King."
"Haha, Medicine King has died a long time ago, but I heard that Medicine King has three descendants living in Jiuzhou. I don't know which three they are?"
"I heard that a murder occurred in the martial arts ten years ago. It is said that the righteous masters of the martial arts went to suppress an evil man called the Ghost Doctor. I heard that this guy wanted to open the gate of ghosts and destroy Kyushu. The righteous masters paid a heavy price to kill him. Kill.
I heard someone say that that ghost doctor is one of the descendants of Medicine King! ! ! "
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you know these secrets of martial arts. Brother, you are really awesome."
"No, I've also heard that the old man of the Huo family has an unusual identity. There are many good treasures hidden in the family, all of which are priceless artifacts. His two sons are now at odds with each other, so they People made a bet that whoever can find someone to cure his father's illness will get the entire family property!"
"Haha, these two are really filial sons. It seems that the disease of the old man of the Huo family is incurable. These two are probably ready to fight for the family property after their father dies."
"Who says otherwise? I would say that the old man of the Huo family had the foresight. On his sixtieth birthday, he stuffed all his aunts and wives with more than ten rooms with a large amount of money and drove them away, leaving only his two sons and their children. My mother is by my side. Otherwise, the entire Huo family would be in a state of restlessness."
…………
Zhang Wanwan listened to the gossips of passers-by and immediately had a general understanding of what happened to the Huo family.
"The tricks these rich people play are extraordinary!" Zhang Wanwan said with emotion.
"Haha, why, boss, have you never done such a thing before?" Li Qingfeng laughed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a good man doesn't talk about his bravery, and a good man doesn't talk about his bravery. Stop it!" Zhang Wanwan laughed and stopped the topic in time.
Both of them smiled tacitly.
"Look, the people from the Second Young Master's side are coming too!" A sharp-eyed passerby pointed to the opposite side of the street and said.
"The master of the Huo family is seriously ill, and the second young master has trouble sleeping and eating. He is thirsty for talents. I hope that there are benevolent people who are willing to help with treatment. The second young master is willing to spend everything he has just to keep his father healthy and safe!!!"
Some of the servants were shouting loudly, some were pretending to cry loudly, some were holding a portrait of Mr. Huo with tears in their noses, and some were actually carrying a soul-calling pan and scattering paper money.
If you don’t know this, you might think that the father of these filial sons is dead!
The street was only so wide, and passers-by stood in the shops on both sides of the street, fearing to avoid it.
The two groups of people soon collided with each other, but neither side had any intention of giving way.
