Chapter 446 Who makes me a man?
"That's my hometown, where the young butterflies live..." Little Butterfly Fairy pointed to the front and said to Lao Du.
But in the direction she pointed, there was clearly a vast expanse of scorched earth beneath the white fog.
"We live by the valley of Dongjiang River, surrounded by water and flower fields, and our life is full of joy." Seeing this scene, she became more and more angry, "I hate that group of evil people, they are brutal and merciless. They colluded with half-demons and were reckless, occupying my home and burning my mountain..."
“Okay, okay, okay…”
Seeing that the little girl was speaking more and more rhythmically, Wang Longqi quickly reached out to stop her.
Xiao Diexian also realized that she was too immersed in it. She smiled awkwardly and continued, "They set fire to the mountain and cleared all the plants except the Return to Immortality Grass. They wanted to plant the Return to Immortality Grass all over the Dongjiang Valley. Now those half-demons are still searching the whole valley, trying to clean out the rest of the plant spirits. At the same time, there is another group of half-demons who are planting the Return to Immortality Grass in the parts that have been cleared."
"Don't worry, Miss Diexian, we will definitely help you drive away these villains."
Wang Longqi waved his hand and was about to walk forward with great vigor and vigor, when he suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from the fog in front of him. He was immediately frightened and cried out "Oh my God!" and ran backwards to behind Li Chu.
Then, a group of four or five tall half-demon figures appeared in the sight. When the two sides saw each other, they immediately became hostile.
When Li Chu drew his sword and was about to start collecting experience points, he suddenly heard a surprised cry from the opposite side.
"Master Xiao Li?"
The voice sounded very familiar.
Li Chu was also a little surprised. He stopped for a moment and looked over. He saw that the smallest half-demon at the back of the team stiffened. Then he heard the sound of a mechanism behind him and a person came out.
This man was dressed in shorts, looked young, and had a…peculiar appearance. He was ugly, but not in a disgusting way. He was ugly in a way that made people feel refreshed and upright.
It turned out to be another old acquaintance, Zhao Liangchen from Feilai Sect in Hangzhou Prefecture.
"Brother Zhao?"
Li Chu responded.
When the familiar people met, the remaining half-demons were all shocked. What the hell, there was actually a good guy in the team? Immediately, there was a howl, and the half-demons did the same thing, ignoring the enemy in front of them, and at the same time pounced on the traitor behind them! Although Zhao Liangchen's cultivation was not as high as Li Chu's, he was also a young talent in Hangzhou Prefecture. He immediately raised his sword and made a gesture with his left hand. With a bang, it turned into a powerful sword barrier, blocking the half-demons for a moment.
It seems that during this period of time, his cultivation has improved a lot, and it is definitely not a waste of time.
Moreover, while making sufficiently effective defense, he also shouted spells and made absolutely effective attacks.
Then he heard him gather all his strength, his tongue bursting with spring thunder, and he shouted: "Master Xiao Li, save me!"
With this shout, a red dragon appeared from the sky and flew past gracefully. Several half-demons turned into smoke in an instant.
Naturally, it was Li Chu who drew his sword.
After destroying those half-demons, Zhao Liangchen withdrew his magical powers and greeted him with a smile: "Master Xiao Li, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"I didn't expect to meet you here." Li Chu also said, giving him an inquiring look.
"Old Zhao, hahaha, what are you doing here? And you mixed in with those monsters?" Wang Longqi was much more reckless. He went straight up and put his arm around Zhao Liangchen's shoulders and asked.
"Seventh Young Master, Taoist Priest Du." Zhao Liangchen still greeted them politely, and then said, "It's a long story..."
…
Several people found a slope with a back, spread out blankets, and sat on the ground. Thanks to bringing Lao Du with them, he kept taking out items from the magic tool book basket behind him, as well as snacks, candied fruits, and so on. It didn't seem like they were here to exorcise demons, but more like a spring outing. Everyone gathered in a circle to listen to Zhao Liangchen's story.
"I came to the North to sell ginseng..."
Zhao Liangchen's first sentence made several people drop their jaws in shock.
Even the little fairy Diexie, who saw him for the first time, had a look of disbelief in her eyes.
Finally, Wang Longqi said hesitantly, "Old Zhao, I'm not being nosy... I'm more or less a professional at this... If you sell it like this, the market won't be very good..."
Zhao Liangchen looked sternly at everyone and said, "Are you thinking the wrong thing? I'm talking about... wild ginseng from the north."
“Uh…” Lao Du laughed, “That’s right, haha, what I want is to sell ginseng.”
"Me too, me too." Wang Longqi nodded quickly.
Li Chu asked, "When did you, Feilai Sect, start this kind of business?"
"well……"
When talking about this, Zhao Liangchen let out a long sigh.
"It has nothing to do with the sect. I took this job on my own. You know, the sect gives us a monthly salary, but that money is only enough for food and clothing."
"When I went to Southern Xinjiang a while ago, I told you that I...I was in love."
"Two people are very different from one person. My expenses will increase greatly. Originally, the best business for us cultivators is to exorcise evil spirits for others, but..."
At this point, he glanced at Li Chu with a slightly resentful look in his eyes, "You have killed almost all the evil spirits in Hangzhou Prefecture... and as your deeds gradually spread in Hangzhou Prefecture, everyone now only recognizes the signboard of Deyun Temple, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for us to get work."
"At this time, I discovered another business opportunity, which is to collect herbs. As we all know, many natural treasures grow in places that are difficult to reach by human power, and only cultivators can get them. Collecting these rare herbs and reselling them at a high price. However, most natural treasures are actually not very useful... The best rare herb sold on the market is wild ginseng from the north."
"Because of its aphrodisiac effect, it has always been loved by the majority of middle-aged and elderly wealthy people."
Wang Longqi nodded when he heard this. He understood the rich man's thoughts very well.
Dulanke also nodded, he understood the thoughts of middle-aged and elderly people very well.
"This is my second time coming to Dongjiang Valley, because this place is rich in water and soil, and has many natural treasures. But I didn't expect that when I was picking herbs the other day, I ran into a group of cultivators doing something illegal here."
"I wanted to retreat after I found out, but the few Wufu ghosts I raised and sent out to help me find herbs were actually captured by a white-robed man in that group!"
"Hmm?" Li Chu raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew those little brats and liked them quite a bit.
"Because I was worried about their safety, I didn't leave. Instead, I found a way to sneak into their camp. I did find out some of their origins, but I haven't found a chance to rescue my little ghost yet..."
At this point, Zhao Liangchen sighed worriedly again.
Li Chu nodded when he heard this. This was something Zhao Liangchen could do.
If it were someone else, they would just feel sad for a few days even if they were lost, and then catch and raise them again. But Zhao Liangchen was a man who valued friendship and always treated those little ghosts as his family. That's why he would rather risk his life to save them.
Lao Du said, "It's okay. My master is here. Mr. Zhao doesn't need to worry too much."
Wang Longqi's attention was elsewhere. He stroked his chin and wondered, "Old Zhao, you are at least one of the best young monks. It should be easy for you to lower yourself to make this kind of money. Why are you still busy after several months? It should be enough to marry ten wives. In Hangzhou Prefecture, even supporting a top-notch courtesan wouldn't cost that much money, right? How much money does your lover spend?"
"this……"
When talking about his lover, Zhao Liangchen's face turned red and he scratched the back of his head shyly.
"Actually... Xiaojuan, oh Xiaojuan is my... sweetheart."
"She is a very good girl, she manages the household well and spends money prudently. She never wastes my money recklessly, but..."
"She has been without parents since she was young. She was raised by her grandfather, and the two depend on each other for survival. Her grandfather owned a tea plantation in Wuyi Prefecture. It just so happened that the sales were not good in the past two years, and the tea leaves on the mountain could not be sold..."
"Grandpa was so worried that he cried!"
"I have no choice. In order to relieve her grandfather's worries and to make her happy, I have to work hard to make money and buy all of her grandfather's tea..."
When it came to the emotional part, Zhao Liangchen frowned.
"Who makes me a man?"
