Chapter seven hundred and ninth long-lost communication
Regarding Chen Luoxue's performance, Xu Chenglin didn't know what to say. But after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't help laughing.
Since he couldn't get any information from the monk in front of him, Xu Chenglin decided to say goodbye to him and try someone else. But he wanted to leave, but he didn't agree.
As if he had read Xu Chenglin's thoughts, the friendly monk immediately sent a message to them.
"Two fellow Taoists, don't leave in a hurry. This is the time to hire people, so you two fellow Taoists might as well put in some effort before leaving."
After receiving the message from the other party, Chen Luoxue did not reply immediately, but looked at Xu Chenglin, meaning to ask him to pay attention.
With just one look, Xu Chenglin understood. How could Chen Luoxue let him make the decision? She was clearly asking him to come up with a reason to excuse himself. This seemed like a silly move, but she, Chen Luoxue, didn't want to get involved.
It was normal to put in some effort before leaving. Just taking a look at the current scene, Xu Chenglin gave up the idea. He agreed with Chen Luoxue's idea and immediately started to think about it.
Even though these thirty-odd Qi Condensation monks together are quite powerful, in Xu Chenglin's opinion, they are doing something with twice the result with half the effort. Xu Chenglin is too lazy to join in such an inefficient and laborious task.
Just as he was thinking this, Xu Chenglin rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a reason. With a slight smile, Xu Chenglin sent a message to reply to the other party.
"Fellow Taoist invites me, and it is our duty to do so. It's just a pity that we are both offensive monks who are good at using magic weapons. We are almost proficient in magic support and other skills. If An was involved rashly,
It might even cause you trouble."
Hearing what Xu Chenglin said, the friendly monk couldn't help but frown. He glanced at Xu Chenglin and saw that the man was carrying a long sword with a sharp aura, and it seemed that it was exactly what he said.
The monk believed Xu Chenglin's words, but then he shook his head and muttered to himself.
"What a pity, what a pity..."
His voice was not loud, almost inaudible after the rain. But Xu Chenglin listened carefully, and still heard what he said.
Xu Chenglin looked curious, why is it such a pity for monks who are good at attacking? Has the world changed and the spiritual world no longer welcomes monks with strong combat capabilities? Or is it just different here and there is less need for monks with strong combat capabilities?
Just as his mind was filled with doubts, Xu Chenglin heard another transmission from the monk in front of him.
"If you two are not good at magic, you can try to go east from here to the monks' temporary camp. You may be able to help there. Every few miles or so to the east, there will be a group of us
If such people get lost, just find them and ask for directions."
Hearing this, Xu Chenglin pursed his lips and shook his head speechlessly. Then he sighed silently, stretched out his thumb and shook it at the monk in front of him.
The other party understood what he meant very well. He smiled, waved his hand, and went about his business without paying any attention to the two of them.
Chen Luoxue laughed dumbly, feeling very interesting about what just happened. Although the two of them did not speak a word in their interaction, everything was in silence. Xu Chenglin was mocking the other party for being able to pretend, while the other party said that he was helpless.
The last words of this kind-faced monk actually told the two of them that he had deceived them before. It was not that he didn't know anything about the situation here, but that he didn't know much. He deliberately said he didn't know before,
In fact, I just want the two of them to stay here and help.
After knowing that it was useless for the two of them to stay here, he gave them directions on where to go.
"Let's go, let's go east from here and go to the monks' temporary camp to get some news."
Turning to look at Chen Luoxue, Xu Chenglin said softly.
Chen Luoxue nodded, and then inadvertently
Asked something.
"I'm a little curious. He just heard from us that he was good at attacking, and he kept saying it was a pity. Why?"
Xu Chenglin was just confused, but when he saw the monk walking away, he couldn't run over to ask him.
"Who knows! Maybe the answer will be revealed after we get to the camp."
Chen Luoxue shook her head and no longer struggled with this matter. The two of them glanced at the east, put their toes on the ground, and flew towards the east.
Going east along the coastline, the two of them saw a group of guys pumping water to build embankments every few miles. These people were much stronger than the people they met at the beginning, at least in terms of alertness.
.
The two of them were still more than a hundred meters away when someone spotted them. So someone flew up to stop the two of them and asked them about their situation. Xu Chenglin stated that the two of them came from the inland and did not explain that they were here.
Because of the reason, he was asked by that person whether he was proficient in spells with various attributes.
With their previous experiences, Chen Luoxue and Xu Chenglin looked at each other and replied that they were not good at it. The people who came heard this and shook their heads and sighed, muttering why there weren't a few people who were good at magic.
It felt as if the two of them had been disliked. Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue were both dumbfounded.
Looking at the current situation, it seems that many monks are participating in the activity of pumping water to build embankments. And it seems that there are not a few monks participating in the activities. In this case, two of them more is not more, and two of them less is not more.
, why should you dislike them?
After waving towards the two of them, the monk who stopped them said similar words to the previous monk. The slight difference was that he said caution to the two of them and showed them a sympathetic expression.
Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue were both confused. They really couldn't figure out what the last sympathetic expression was. However, the other party did not decide to answer the two of them. Instead, he nodded to them and left without paying any attention to them.
Chen Luoxue was a little depressed, or she was a little angry because of the attitudes of the two groups of people she met.
"Ha! What the hell are these two doing? Could it be that if you are not good at magic, you will get into trouble?"
"Who says it's not the case? Both of them are sick!"
Being repeatedly disliked, Xu Chenglin could not treat them with a good temper.
"Let's go! I want to see what's going on!"
This time, before Xu Chenglin could say anything, Chen Luoxue started urging him.
Xu Chenglin didn't say much. After nodding, the two set off again.
Not long after, the two again saw some people pumping water to build embankments from a distance. Xu Chenglin just saw someone flying towards them and hurriedly transmitted messages.
"The two of us are not good at magic. We listened to the previous waves of people and went to the temporary camp."
The monk who was flying toward them received the message and quickly raised his hands to the two of them. After saying "take care", he quickly turned back.
Chen Luoxue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xu Chenglin's actions.
"Okay, I've learned how to answer questions!"
Xu Chenglin smiled helplessly and said angrily.
"There's nothing I can do about it. When I look at it, they're asking the same thing."
After saying this, Xu Chenglin thought for a moment before continuing.
"But it can be inferred from this that they don't seem to dislike the monks who can't do magic. Their attitude is more like annoyance."
Chen Luoxue frowned slightly and recalled it carefully before speaking.
"That seems to be the case. Perhaps finding monks who are good at magic will not only help them pump water to build embankments, but also seem to be beneficial to themselves. As for the monks who are good at killing, it seems that they are going to carry out something dangerous. This
From what they told us to be careful and take care of ourselves, we can infer something."
Xu Chenglin nodded, quite agreeing with Chen Luoxue's opinion. But
But until the answer is revealed, no matter how reliable a guess is, it is just a guess.
Asking the canal how clear it was, it meant that there was a source of running water. The two told their guesses and no longer struggled with the matter. When they arrived at the temporary camp, everything was revealed naturally.
Continuing to go east, the two of them encountered people one after another who came forward to question them. Xu Chenglin kept transmitting messages from a distance at first, but later he felt annoyed and simply stayed away, waving his hands several times. This impatient look was something that everyone saw.
Everyone could guess what was going on, so no one came to stop the two of them.
After half an hour of flying and passing through layers of interrogations by monks, the two finally saw the so-called temporary camp.
Seeing the temporary camp below, the two couldn't help feeling a little emotional. This looked like a camp. Compared with the small camp they encountered earlier, it was nothing compared to this. Let's not talk about anything else.
In terms of level, there is no comparison.
The temporary camp here seems to have been carefully designed. The entire camp generally presents a ring shape. Starting from the center, the ring gradually expands outwards. The buildings in the central area are for those monks who have transcended mortals or those with high status.
Inhabited by people.
The central building is simply built, with no carved dragons, painted phoenixes, or gilded edges, but overall it has a majestic and inviolable feeling. Although the buildings outwards have their own momentum, they are less powerful than the central area.
It's a bit worse.
Based on the appearance of the buildings, the two of them could vaguely distinguish the purpose of these buildings. There seemed to be places used for resting, places used for storage, and places specially used for trading.
It was just a temporary camp, but unexpectedly it was fully-equipped. Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue had to sigh, there is so much power in numbers. Yes, it was precisely because of the gathering of many monks that a temporary camp developed into what it is today.
Look.
Seeing the monks who were guarding the camp below looking at them, Xu Chenglin smiled at Chen Luoxue and said.
"Let's go! Let's go down!"
Chen Luoxue nodded, and then the two of them slowly descended towards the camp gate.
The two reported their origins to the guard and were immediately allowed to go. The two looked at each other and both felt that the guard was a bit useless. But thinking about it on the other hand, they were relieved. Nowadays, many monks came to investigate the situation, leaving
There are quite a few monks working here. If we were to be picky about the investigation, it would be somewhat unjustifiable.
Having arrived at the camp, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue did not receive special treatment from the guards. Thinking of what they had experienced along the way, Xu Chenglin couldn't help but ask his own questions.
The two guards in front of the camp suddenly laughed strangely when they heard the question asked by Xu Chenglin. Looking at their smiles, Xu Chenglin always felt that he was in the same boat.
"You two have just come here, so it's normal that you don't know what's going on. It's simple to say, it's related to interests. As the saying goes, you can't start early without profit, and it's appropriate to apply it at this time. Do you think those monks who pumped water to build embankments
Is it voluntary labor? It is simply impossible. If there is no profit, how can so many monks take action? Every time Ning Qi takes action, there will be a day of rest.
time. During this day, you will have the opportunity to go to the central area of the camp to listen to monk Yuefan’s sermon. Every time you bring in one more person, you will have one more chance to listen to the sermon. As for those of us monks who are not very good at magic, then
The work we do is a bit dangerous. For example, patrolling the surroundings, going out to kill monsters in the sea, going to sea to investigate the surrounding situations, etc., these are all possible jobs for us."
After the two guards explained, Xu Chenglin and Chen Luoxue said they understood what was going on. After all, feelings are for profit, but there is nothing wrong with this. Without profit, how could there be such a strong motivation.
So many monks came to the South China Sea, ultimately driven by profit. As for those who really came to resolve the problem, there should be very few.
