Although there are not many shops in the town, the profits are really high and beyond reach.
However, the high-ranking shops in Jingping Town are controlled by various sects. Firstly, the sects can earn a lot of income, and secondly, the shop owner can also have a good backer.
This place is a mixed bag. After all, this is the only way to the Demon King's Forest. Various forces come and go, so some people may be concerned about it. This way, you can have peace of mind. Just pay the protection fee.
It was already evening when a few people arrived in Jingping Town. Even though it was already night, there were still many vendors on the streets, selling snacks and accessories, doing business.
"There are still a few kilometers away from Jiangluan Yanshan. Let's stay here today." Su Ming said.
"Yeah! Great, we can finally have a rest." The two sisters Xia Yixue hugged each other excitedly and cheered happily.
"It's finally here. I want to take a good hot bath. My body is really uncomfortable." Shen Xiyao said with a sigh of relief.
"Senior Brother Su, please find a place to stay quickly. I haven't had a good night's sleep these days." Xia Yiqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said coquettishly to Su Ming.
After Su Ming paid the rent in front of the inn, he told the girls to go back to their rooms to rest, and then asked them to go downstairs for dinner.
Seeing Shen Xiyao and others entering the guest room, Su Ming walked out of the inn alone and walked towards the hillside not far away.
Standing on the hillside, Su Ming took out a jade flute from the ring and put it to his mouth. The flute played melodiously and melodiously, with a sad tune. After a while, the flute suddenly stopped.
That is to say, just after the sound of the flute ended, a woman came up behind Su Ming. She had a fair face, dark phoenix eyes under her eyebrows, and long black hair. If you look closely, this person was of ice flesh and jade bones. A blue cheongsam makes your waist extra slender, exuding elegance from the inside out.
"You are back again. Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?"
The woman holds a cigarette pot in her right hand. The pipe stem is made of sandalwood and mahogany, and the mouth of the pipe is made of Qinxiang jade. The woman puts it to her mouth and slowly exhales a puff of white smoke with a very resentful tone.
"I'm here to ask you something." Su Ming just glanced at the woman and then looked elsewhere.
"Every time you come here, you always have something to do. Can't you just come and see me?"
The woman's left hand gently rested on Su Ming's shoulder, and she blew a puff of smoke onto Su Ming's face.
The woman in front of me is named Yan Chixiao. Getting to know her was purely a misunderstanding.
A few years ago, Su Ming served as flag bearer for the first time and led two men and two women to the Demon Emperor's Forest. The mission was to kill a demon beast called the Flame-fronted Red-Eyed Dog. In the introduction to the mission, this demon beast said, It is a monster beast at the fourth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. For a task like this, the level is Level C. For Su Ming, this task is not difficult.
When Su Ming came to the Forest of the Demon Emperor, he quickly discovered the monster that he wanted to kill. However, the monster was much different from the one introduced in the mission. It was actually a seventh-level monster of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Su Ming wanted to send a message to the sect, and it would only take a few days to do so.
But the team he led couldn't bear it any longer. Before the sect could reply, these people went to find the lair of the Flame-fronted Red-Eyed Dog.
The average strength of the team led by Su Ming was at the fourth level of the Spiritual Martial Realm. Except for Su Ming, who was at the lowest level of the second level and the highest level of the fifth level, they fought with the Yanfeng Red-Eyed Dog for about two sticks of incense. Then, who would have thought that a small, demonic beast came out of the lair, which might be his instinctive protector, and his strength instantly rose to a new level.
Seeing that these people were about to die, Su Ming ran to them and wanted to take these people away. The monster was not used to Su Ming. Just when everything was at the end, Yan Chixiao appeared.
Yan Chixiao was the shopkeeper of Yan Baozhai. Sometimes he would go up the mountain to catch some monsters and collect some spiritual plants so that the shop could have some good goods to sell, and his life was pretty good.
Originally, Yan Baozhai was once the largest store in Jingping Town. At that time, the store was not called Yan Baozhai, but the Collection Pavilion. It was just that Yan Chixiao’s father, Yan Chengye, somehow offended the Ji Yan Le Sect and Ji Yan Le Sect among the seven major clans.
Although the Yanle Sect is said to be the lower fourth sect, its strength cannot be underestimated.
In order for the Ji Yan Le Sect to spare his father, Yan Chengye put forward a condition that the Ji Yan Le Sect had to consider. This condition was to transfer the collection pavilion to the Ji Yan Le Sect.
After that, Yan Baozhai was opened, but the supply of goods was lost to the Ji Yan Le Sect. The status of the Yan family was getting worse day by day. After Yan Chengye experienced the ups and downs, he was depressed and unhappy all day long and finally fell ill.
.
Finally, Yan Baozhai was handed over to Yan Chixiao to take care of him. Yan Chengye gave Yan Chixiao his daughter, and Yan Baozhai was the last property left to her.
On this day, Yan Chixiao went up the mountain as usual, and heard the sound of fighting far away. Yan Chixiao, who had good intentions, seemed to go to see what was going on. It was fine if he didn't look, but it was bad when he looked.
It turns out that the costumes of the Yuxu Sect and the Ji Yanle Sect are similar, only the patterns on the robes are different. The patterns on the Yuxu Sect's robes are white cranes with their wings shining, while the patterns on the Ji Yanle Sect's robes are the leaves falling in the breeze. If you compare carefully
You can still find differences.
But Yan Chixiao always had a grudge against the Ji Yan Le Sect, and other than hatred, he would not pay attention to any traces in his eyes. He came up with a sword, and the sword happened to hit Su Ming's left shoulder.
This Su Ming is also a human being. It doesn't hurt to be stabbed suddenly. Looking back, although the sword missed, it still knocked back Yan Chixiao. As soon as the sword was pulled out, the blood was like a column of water.
Feeling the feeling of death, Su Ming threw an elixir into his mouth without thinking, and the wound began to heal at the speed of the naked eye. This scene really shocked Yan Chixiao. She had never seen any elixir heal wounds.
So fast.
Yan Chixiao thought that if he were to capture him, the elixir recipe would not be in his pocket, so he stepped forward and knocked Su Ming unconscious, and tied up the other disciples.
When Su Ming woke up, he saw Yan Chixiao hanging a long sword around his neck, asking him to silence the elixir recipe. Su Ming was not a fool. He knew that he would definitely not survive if he silenced himself, so he said that he was knocked unconscious by Yan Chixiao and then suddenly woke up.
Forgot about it.
Even an idiot could tell that Su Ming was lying, but Yan Chixiao couldn't help it, so he asked how he could remember it. Su Ming was also rude and said that I would remember it if you let me go. What could Yan Chixiao do?
Well, I finally caught him and he didn't let me go without saying anything.
The two of them refused to let go or write, and they were in a stalemate for more than half a month. During this more than half a month, Su Ming planned to escape more than ten times, but Yan Chixiao discovered them all.
He thought Su Ming was smart all his life, but he was trapped by a woman for more than half a month, so he had no choice but to compromise with Yan Chixiao.
"It's not impossible to get the elixir, but tell me first why you stabbed me suddenly."
A question that had troubled Su Ming for half a month was finally asked.
