When Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanli walked out of the city together, Chu Yunyun had already arrived in front of the Sitong Escort Agency.
She went to report to Deputy Bodyguard Lin as usual.
Only when they sign up, the escort agency will arrange escort teams for these escorts.
However, when Chu Yunyun found Deputy Lin, the strong man with a body as big as three thick and a face as thick as a jujube, he looked troubled.
He meditated for a moment, then called Chu Yunyun alone behind the door of the escort agency, and then handed Chu Yunyun two medicine bottles and a money bag.
"Inside this bag is the salary that you two brothers and sisters have detained at the escort agency. There are twelve taels of magic silver in total. You can count it. In the bottle is Yanghe Powder. I see that you often use this medicine. But starting from tomorrow,
You brothers and sisters don’t need to come here anymore.”
Chu Yunyun was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at the strong man across from her with doubtful eyes and clasped her fists, "I dare to ask Mr. Lin, but what did we brothers and sisters do wrong?"
"You are very good."
Deputy escort Lin shook his head, with a hint of apology in his words: "Young sister Chu, you don't need to say anything. You are very good at using the magic. Now that you have cultivated a spiritual seed, you must be even better. I am also very optimistic about Xi Sheng. He is now
Although he is a little younger and still sick, he is very good with a sharp knife, and he is cautious and considerate, making him much better than the group of young boys outside.
However, it seems that you brothers and sisters have offended the Long family in the inner city? I said hello over there, and I don’t want you to continue working in the escort agency. You should know that the escort agency relies on harmony to make money. "
When Chu Yunyun heard the words "Longjia in the inner city", she already knew what happened.
Chu Xisheng cut off Long Sheng's wrist that day, and the Long family hired someone the next day to break Chu Xisheng's hands and feet in the library.
——This Long family is too aggressive!
There was a fierce look in her eyes, and she immediately took the money bag from the other party's hand.
As soon as she got the money bag, Chu Yunyun felt something was wrong. The silver inside was heavy, and the amount should be around fifteen taels.
She couldn't help but raise her hand gratefully: "Guard Lin is a righteous man!"
"That's easy to say!" Deputy Escort Lin responded with a salute: "Today's matter was really not done properly by our Escort Agency. It was just a meager gift. Please forgive me, Miss Chu!"
Chu Yunyun shook her head slightly. When the brothers and sisters first came to Xiushui City, it was Sitong Escort who gave them a meal.
When the escort was forced to fire them, they also increased their salaries and gave them two bottles of medicine worth three taels of silver. There was nothing unethical about it.
At this time, Deputy Guard Lin looked hesitant again and said: "By the way, I wonder where Brother Chu is? You brothers and sisters have been more cautious these days. It is best to leave Xiushui County. From the tone of the Long family, it seems that they are unwilling to give up.
Recently, Long Heng, the eldest son of the Long family, returned to Xiushui from the capital. This man is known to be strong and domineering, and his methods are vicious. On the third day after his return, he destroyed the branch of the Iron Flag Gang in the Fire Bone Cave.
It is said that more than 60 people were killed by the Iron Banner Gang, and many herb collectors were also implicated and killed."
Chu Yunyun's heart suddenly shivered. It was the Fire Bone Cave that Chu Xisheng went to today.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for the heads up."
After she thanked Deputy Escort Lin, she turned around and ran out of the Escort Bureau, rushing towards the east of the city.
At this time, she didn't even bother to cover herself up, her steps seemed slow but fast, like smoke and mist.
Chu Yunyun only hoped that Chu Xisheng would still be safe and sound when she rushed over——
※※※※
The Dongcheng Gate of Xiushui County is crowded with people and bustling with people.
Under the city gate, people and various livestock shuttled back and forth, their body odor mixed with the smell of sweat, and the stench filled their noses.
Chu Xisheng wandered around several carriage shops at the gate of the city and soon found a carriage heading to the Fire Bone Cave.
There happened to be two seats left in the car, so the driver offered one hundred cents, but Chu Xisheng reduced the offer to sixty cents.
There were more than a dozen young and strong men sitting in the car, and the smell was indescribable.
Lu Luanli covered his nose and walked into the carriage, took out another brocade handkerchief and placed it on the seat.
After sitting down, Lu Luanli frowned for a while.
She found that the passengers in the car were all looking at her intently.
If they were just looking, there was something wrong with the eyes of these people. They were like evil wolves, not only containing obscenity, but also mixed with eager desires.
Just when Lu Luanli's eyes darkened slightly and she pinched the talisman in her right sleeve, she heard a 'choking' sound.
It was Chu Xisheng's hundred-refined light steel sword, which suddenly turned into a white light and shone.
Before anyone could react, the sword was already sheathed.
It was only then that a middle-aged man dropped the pipe in his mouth.
This copper-covered pipe was cut into two pieces by Chu Xisheng at that moment.
The middle-aged man was originally the most unscrupulous, and his eyes kept looking back and forth at Lu Luanli's chest and buttocks.
At this time, the strong man was still in shock and had lingering fears. It took him a long time to regain his composure, and then he looked at Chu Xisheng with wide eyes: "Brother, the sword is so fast, but how did I offend you?"
Chu Xisheng laughed dumbly and pointed at his eyes with his finger: "Your trick offended me."
He sat down next to Lu Luanli and glanced at everyone in the car with his hand on the knife: "This is my female family. Everyone knows the rules of the world. You should be careful when recruiting. See if it's OK. Don't mess around."
look."
In an instant, everyone looked away, not daring to look at Chu Xisheng.
The middle-aged man's face was cold and his eyes were flickering, but when his sight touched the knife held by Chu Xisheng's hand, he couldn't help but feel a bit of fear.
He finally snorted coldly and moved his gaze out the window, muttering dissatisfiedly: "Young masters and ladies like you can just hire your own car. Why do you have to squeeze in with poor people like us?"
Together, we can’t let anyone see it.”
The middle-aged man complained very quietly, and Chu Xi just pretended that he couldn't hear it.
Lu Luanli smiled slightly and let go of the talisman in his hand.
She moved her body and leaned closely against Chu Xisheng, using Chu Xisheng's body to block the sight of the passengers.
The coachman may have felt something was wrong, so he opened the curtain and looked inside. When he found nothing unusual, he said with a cold face: "This is a carriage from Fulong Carriage and Horses. The owner is Mr. Zhang Dianshi from the county government! Don't make trouble.
If you ruin my business, none of you will be able to live well."
After giving a warning, he drove the carriage away from the city gate.
Chu Xisheng also moved his gaze out the window, with a complicated look in his eyes.
After the carriage exited the city gate, one could see that both sides of the road were lined with houses made of earthen walls and thatched grass. Then, an endless expanse of paddy fields appeared outside the carriage window, dotted with villages of different sizes.
It was like a picture scroll of an ancient Jiangnan water town, slowly unfolding before his eyes.
Chu Xisheng had seen it countless times when he was walking escorts. At first, he was very surprised. He felt that the air without industrial pollution was not ordinary fresh.
But now, he missed the world he came from more and more.
The carriage walked eastward along the road. After about seventy miles, the scenery outside the window began to change again.
It used to be a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it is a desert in the northwest. Not only has the temperature risen dramatically, making it even hotter, but the ground has also turned into a desert with no vegetation.
This is the 'Fire Bone Cave', and it is this kind of environment for five miles around.
In the distance, you can still see a bustling town on a hilltop ahead.
This is not only the place of origin of Yangyang grass, but also the most famous place of origin of elixirs within a hundred miles of Xiushui County.
Many herb collectors make a living here, and various forces from Xiushui County are also gathered here.
The carriage dropped everyone off one mile away from the town. Chu Xisheng could only carry his bags and walk up the mountain with Lu Luanli.
As Chu Xisheng walked, he asked: "What kind of spell does Junior Sister Lu want to practice in the Fire Bone Cave? Where does it need to go and how much time does it take? Let me tell you clearly in advance. I have to walk a lot of places here, and the time is three.
After five days, collect all the medicinal materials and leave. Speaking of which, what kind of magic do you want to practice in the Fire Bone Cave?"
"What I want to practice is the Fire Spirit Witch God's Curse. You probably haven't heard of it."
Lu Luanli walked behind Chu Xisheng and answered casually: "My technique can be practiced only in the Fire Bone Cave and does not require a special environment. So wherever you go, I will go."
Chu Xisheng immediately turned his head and looked at Lu Luanli suspiciously.
He suspected that this woman was just telling the truth to follow him.
He couldn't help but touch his face, thinking that his charm after rebirth is actually so great?
Lu Luanli's pretty face turned red. She just wanted to find an excuse to follow Chu Xisheng, but she couldn't say that.
She hummed softly: "This is a kind of magic spell to invite gods. Do you know the origin of the Fire Bone Cave?"
"I don't know." Chu Xisheng shook her head, not interested.
He only knew that there was the Yangyang Grass he wanted.
"The Fire Bone Cave was formed from the bones of an ancient giant god, and is of the same race as our ancestor Pangu."
While Lu Luanli was explaining, he looked towards the mountainside with strange eyes: "This giant god was originally a subordinate of the fire god 'Yan Rong'. He followed Yan Rong to conquer the sky, and was eventually defeated by the Xiushui River. After his death, his bones gradually turned into
Fire Bone Cave.”
"Is there an ancient giant buried in this Fire Bone Cave?" Chu Xisheng was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard that the Fire Bone Cave had such an origin.
The ancient giant gods are the ancient innate gods of this world. It is said that they are born with powers comparable to those of third-level martial arts cultivators. They are also the common ancestors of humans, demons and gods, giant spirits and giant witches in this world.
"Natural, otherwise why can Yangyang Grass become the main ingredient of the secret medicine of Yangyuan Gong? Yangyang Grass is born from the power left behind by the corpse of the giant god, and can help people break the seals in their blood.
The secret medicine of the 9th and 18th level of Wuxiu Yuan Gong, a total of 18 levels, in the final analysis is to break the shackles in our bloodline step by step and lift the seal imposed on our bloodline by the ancient gods."
Lu Luanli explained matter-of-factly: "The Fire Spirit Witch God Curse I want to practice is to attract a trace of the remnant spirit of this giant god, so that it can be used by me in the future."
At this time, her voice was slightly condensed.
The two of them had already reached the front of the town, and Lu Luanli saw more than seventy wooden stakes stuck in the street at the entrance.
Every six steps, there is a corpse hanging on the wooden stake. They have been dead for a long time, their skin is pale and gray, surrounded by flies, and the wooden stakes are covered with dark brown blood stains.
Chu Xisheng looked at these wooden piles, confused and confused, and his heart sank.
