"Qingluo? What a familiar name." After thinking about it carefully, Sun Huo quickly remembered that the woman who invited him to go with him at the entrance of Luo Lei Valley also had this name.
It can't be such a coincidence that they are the same person, right? Sun Huo thought with some fear. After all, Qingluo is the name of a plant, but it is relatively rare to be used as a person's name.
When it comes to the Tianji Tower, Sun Huo also has some interest. After all, he has no source of income from spiritual stones now, and he can't survive for long just by selling magic weapons. If the rewards are suitable, it may not be a suitable path in the future. p>
After scratching his head, he turned around and walked into Qianqi Pavilion again.
A quarter of an hour later, Sun Huo appeared at the end of a street. Compared with the bustle of people coming and going in other places, this place was much deserted.
In his understanding, since it is a place where rewards are offered for evildoers, it should be more majestic and solemn, making people feel intimidating.
Only when he got here did he understand why the attendant of Qianqi Pavilion had such a strange expression when he asked for directions.
It is a two-story small attic with hexagonal eaves. The lower floor is shabby and extremely old. Just by looking at the appearance, one would mistake it for a dilapidated building that has been abandoned for an unknown period of time. The upper floor is gilded and extravagant, like a residence in a secular palace.<
/p>
The plaque hanging on the front door is neat and complete, but the three black characters "Tianji Tower" written on it are crooked, making people want to erase them.
Although he had seen the plaque, Sun Huo still couldn't believe that such a weird attic could be the secret building where the reward was posted.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had already arrived, so Sun Huo still decided to go in for a visit.
Bypassing the screen blocking the main entrance, the layout of the attic appeared in front of Sun Huo at a glance.
Four thick hexagonal wooden pillars, white, yellow, black and red, stand at the four corners of the building. Most of the wooden pillars have jade slips with labels hanging on them. After a brief inspection, Sun Huo found the labels.
They seem to be full of names.
In the middle of the four wooden pillars, there is another stone desk. At this moment, a white-haired old man wearing a blue robe is sleeping at the desk.
What left Sun Huo speechless was that there was a sign placed in front of the old man, which read "A question, a low-level spiritual stone."
Isn't this just knocking on the bamboo pole openly, Sun Huo thought secretly, and had no intention of stepping forward to wake the other party.
Apart from what is in front of him, there are no other objects on the first floor of the attic. Sun Huo thought about it and walked towards the white wooden pillar casually.
He stretched out his hand towards the wooden pillar and grabbed it out of thin air. A jade slip immediately flew down and fell into his hand. When he put it on his forehead, a portrait of a character and an introduction to the reward appeared clearly in his mind. p>
After a while, Sun Huo took the jade slip and hung it back. Inside the jade slip was a reward for locating the person. As long as he could provide a long-term place to stay, he could get ten low-level spiritual stones. Without thinking much, Sun Huo casually took down another jade slip and started reading it. Over a cup of tea, he took off two or three jade slips from each of the four wooden pillars and roughly read the contents.
.
After comparison, he quickly understood that the wooden pillars of different colors actually represented the difficulty of the bounty. The red wooden pillars were the most dangerous. Judging from the contents of the jade slips he saw, they all required killing the bounty.
Only when the object completes the task.
What's strange to him is that since this is the place where bounties are posted, no one comes here to check. Until now, he is the only one wandering around.
Just when he was hesitating whether to wake the old man up and ask questions, a tall, thin man wearing black clothes and a cloak rushed in.
Under Sun Huo's surprised gaze, the man in black came to the old man, stretched out his left hand and shook him violently, screaming at the top of his lungs, "Get up, Mr. Sun. I brought the goods, hurry up and get the reward."
Give me gold."
The old man seemed to have just woken up, and weakly opened his eyes. He glanced at the shoulder of the man in black, then stood up leisurely and said: "Come with me."
Watching the old man and the man in black walking up the stairs to the second floor one after another, Sun Huo was full of curiosity. However, he also knew that this kind of transaction moment was not suitable for outsiders to watch, so he did not follow them rashly.<
/p>
What he cared about was that as soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of blood on the man in black. And judging from the appearance of the cloak, it seemed that the man had lost an arm. No wonder the old man was picked up and shaken roughly.
After waking up, I didn’t lose my temper any more.
After a while, Sun Huo saw the man in black staggering down the stairs and left here as if he was lost.
"Boy, are you also here to accept the reward?" Sun Huo turned around in surprise and saw the white-haired old man standing on the stairs looking at him and asked calmly.
"No, no, senior misunderstood. It's just my first time here to have a look, and I don't want to accept any rewards yet." Sun Huo explained hurriedly.
The old man waved at the red pillar next to Sun Huo, and a jade slip fell off from it and flew into his hand, and he threw it to the second floor without looking at it.
"Since you're not here to accept the reward, then leave early. You've been watching for long enough." The old man lowered his eyes and walked leisurely back to the original desk and sat down. This time, he did not continue to sleep, but took out the
I picked up a blue book and looked through it.
Seeing that the old man didn't want to talk to him, Sun Huo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This old man put too much pressure on him, far more than the old man in black clothes he saw when he was guarding the bodyguard. He should be the so-called foundation-building monk.
Right.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the label with the name "Three Evils of Nanshan" written on it out of the corner of his eye. After hesitating for a moment, Sun Huo took the jade slip and started reading it.
According to the content in the jade slip, someone issued a reward for these three people, but the reward was only a mere two hundred low-level spiritual stones. Such a low reward was really beyond Sun Huo's expectation.
But then I thought about it, but it is understandable. If there is power behind you, you will usually not be bothered by these evil people. Even if such a thing happens, there will be someone who will deal with it.
Most of the bounties posted by casual cultivators are here, and being able to give out two hundred low-level spiritual stones is indeed a huge number. With limited financial resources and unmatched difficulty in bounties, it’s no wonder that few people are willing to come here.
Holding the jade slip with the reward, Sun Huo came to the old man, consciously took out a spiritual stone and put it on the table, bowed and respectfully asked: "Senior, how can I accept the reward mission?"<
/p>
The old man put down the book in his hand and looked over strangely. The cloak covered most of Sun Huo's face, but his expression could not be seen. His eyes moved downward and he quickly saw the label of the jade slip in his hand. p>
"With your current cultivation level, you still want to deal with the three of them. It seems that you think your life is too long. Put the jade slip back. I pretended that I didn't hear the question just now and left my territory quickly.
"The old man's voice was very displeased, and he obviously thought Sun Huo was joking.
"Returning to the seniors, they were seriously injured after fighting with others. Unfortunately, the juniors were discovered by them when they were passing by, so they chased and killed them. Fortunately, they were defeated. I just saw that there was a reward for them here. This
Only then did I dare to take the lead." Sun Huo explained the reasons he had prepared.
The old man's eyes became very interested, "Really? Do you have their bodies or any other evidence?"
"This..." Sun Huo was speechless for a moment. He had disposed of the body at that time. Even if he hadn't disposed of it after so long, it would have been chewed by wild beasts in the forest. Now he would not be able to identify it if he brought it back.
"Juniors didn't know this at the time, so, so..."
"If there is no corpse, then the magic weapon they carry with them should still be on you." The white-haired old man said meaningfully.
Sun Huo was shocked. He had overlooked this matter. Receiving such a reward meant that he had actually inherited the wealth of the reward target. This was equivalent to exposing his wealth in front of him.
Seeing Sun Huo being silent for a long time, the old man seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "Don't worry, if these people's wealth can make me tempted, you won't get it. But if I can't produce evidence now, I will
I want to teach you a lesson and punish you for playing tricks on me."
Hearing the old man speak like this, Sun Huo gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated. He took out the small shield from his storage bag and handed it over with both hands.
"It turns out to be a mid-level magic weapon, but it's a defective product." The old man glanced at it and said calmly.
"Let me make it clear first. If you want to receive the bounty, there are two conditions. One is to leave the registration information. If you are found to have cheated on the bounty, you will be hunted by Tianji Tower for life; second, you must be a member of Tianji Tower.
Go on a mission unconditionally and don’t disobey orders. Think about it carefully."
"An unconditional mission?" Sun Huo couldn't help but frowned. This condition is indeed very difficult. Who knows if he will be used as cannon fodder for no reason one day. It seems that this is the reason why few people set foot in Tianji Tower.<
/p>
Sun Huo obediently took out another spiritual stone, "This unconditional mission is..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man suddenly laughed and interrupted his question. "This mission may cost your life. I don't know what content it will receive. If you agree, I will give you this spiritual stone."
I won’t accept it anymore.”
"Okay, I can accept it."
To the old man's surprise, he originally thought that Sun Huo would quit or think about it for a while, but he didn't want to just agree after a few breaths of silence.
"Then put your things away and take off your cloak." The old man didn't say much nonsense, put down the book in his hand, and sat up straight.
In a flash of light, the small shield and spirit stone disappeared immediately. Sun Huo simply put down the hood covering his head. At this moment, a spiritual sense that made him feel a little suffocated probed his face.
