Chapter 44 Underground

"Uh..." Yu Qing was a little hesitant. If he didn't know the price of this incense, he would definitely say 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 bit 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 whether 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 Ling 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 go to the branch with 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 be a mountain hunter. However, he knew that this mountain hunt 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 company’s territory, you must clearly explain your details. Yu Qing cannot do this alone. Linglong Guan

There are sect rules and regulations, and the secrets of the sect cannot be exposed easily.

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, lifted up the four horizontal bolts, pulled a rope repeatedly to retract the four pillars into the pavilion, and then pushed the four horizontal bolts to lock the feet.

Then he 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 if you carry so much property in this barren mountain?"

Yu Qing rolled his eyes at him, "Rob? If you can join this business, you have an agreement with all parties. If you dare to rob, it doesn't matter if he lets you rob. 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 learned a lot, "Carrying such a heavy thing around will earn you hard-earned money."

"If you can afford it, you will naturally have the strength to bear it. Those with low cultivation will carry smaller houses, and those with high cultivation will naturally carry larger houses. The person in front of me should be a Xuan-level mountain warrior. Brother Xu doesn't have to worry about it."

Yu Qing patted him on the shoulder, with a look that said, "Please 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 "Qianli Lang" 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 some items, and you want to deliver them quickly, you can ask Senrilang for help. Most of them are Senrilang.

Birds are trained to become demons and can fly quickly. They have special advantages that other monks do not have and 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.

Tiaoshanxiang is in the hands of human monks, while Qianlilang is in the hands of demon cultivators. Just sending letters may involve leaking secrets, and the cost is too high, so some official documents may involve the secrets of demon cultivators.

, the imperial court would rather continue to use less efficient post stations for transmission.

Erlang connects the world, which means that Tiaoshanling and Qianlilang can cross the two realms at will and reach anywhere in the sky and on 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, and Tie Miaoqing, who looked calm but was actually anxious, no longer wanted to delay and 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 was not far from the cave where Yu Qing and the others spent the night. It felt like the group was running around, especially with the

Running around carrying two burdens.

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 unclear which era they were left from.

The underground passage is not smooth. If you encounter large rocks that are difficult to dig, you will avoid them. 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 anything.

The two of them were on tenterhooks all the way, and they could not let go. They didn't know what had happened in the past two days, and their lives were always 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 descended. 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, the insect was really not used to it. The high temperature would make people feel suffocated. He, an ordinary person, had to stop. Xu Fei slightly

Better, but for his own good I let him stay.

Tie Miaoqing asked Sun Ping to take the two of them back some distance to a cool place to rest.

Others continued to move forward. When the red light enveloped them, they were already in an underground space several acres in size. The red lava was roasted by dry heat, dotted with small islands and unmelted bamboo shoots.

Connecting the upper and lower parts, there is the sound of magma 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. The magma is like water and fish. The bottom of the magma here may be connected to 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 the others to follow suit and move away.

Seeing that the landlady was so obedient, Cheng Shanping snorted, but turned around and left.

When there were only two people left at the scene, Tie Miaoqing asked: "What are you going to do?"

How to do it? Yu Qing felt a cry in his heart. He had never seen the environment of the land of fire and lava before. Today was the first time he saw it. Only now did he realize that the space of several acres of land, coupled with the rising and flowing

In terms of heat, burning incense one by one is of no use, and burning one or two hundred incense at the same time is difficult to last.

But he knew very well that if he couldn't give an explanation, he wouldn't be able to escape easily.

At this point, with 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, combined with 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 calmly said: "I didn't know the environment here before. After observing it, I thought about it again and again and 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. After a while, he came back and told: "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 up and down on the island and land of the lava lake despite the high temperature. He began to observe the terrain in detail and prepare for the plan he was about to implement.
