Chapter 90 Qingshan Village Shiwan Dashan Qingshan is the Shiwan Dashan...
Shiwan Dashan
Qingshan
This is the southernmost part of the Shiwan Mountains. Miasma fills the entire jungle, there is abundant water and thick fog.
Qingshan Village is a medium-sized force not far from the Shi?wan Mountains. It is not very rich, but there are two strange plants in the village, and there are also several villages that depend on it.
The chief of Qingshan Village is a sturdy man with ordinary facial features. The only thing that impresses people is his temperament like that of the wilderness and mountains, and the few strands of green hair among his black hair that are like bird feathers. The color of the green hair changes brightly and is very beautiful.
At this moment, he was no longer as calm as usual, and looked at the person in the room whose life or death was unknown with a serious expression. There were other sturdy weirdos in the room who also looked panicked.
"You said that Green Bird was injured by the Claw Ghost?" Shi Qing looked solemn as he asked Huang Que, the leader of the guards who was leading the guard team out this time.
Huang Que nodded. He also had many wounds on his body and looked very embarrassed. When he heard the village chief's question, he told everything he had encountered this time: "Originally, we saw traces of a black-faced bird feeding on the ground. It was not long since it had been there, so Green Bird could not help but want to catch the black-faced bird. However, we did not expect that not only did we find the black-faced bird, but there was also a claw ghost near the bird's nest."
The claw ghost is a kind of strange creature unique to the deep mountains and old forests.
At first glance, the claw ghost looks like an ape, with a bald nose, long hair, and protruding fangs. It moves at a speed as fast as a black wind all year round. It is aggressive and cruel, has a great appetite for flesh and blood, and is also very good at learning human voices.
There are countless legends about claw ghosts in the villages of all sizes in the Shiwan Mountains alone. The most famous one is that the claw ghosts will steal children at night under the moonlight and eat their flesh and blood.
It is not so bad to encounter claw ghosts during the day, after all, they are often dark and difficult to hide. What makes the mountain villagers more wary is their performance at night. They are faster and almost blend into the night. Even with moonlight, they cannot be distinguished. What makes all the mountain villagers even more headache is the poison on the claw ghost's claws.
Once poisoned, the toxin can easily mix with the evil force, causing damage to one's cultivation at the very least, or even uncertainty about life or death at the worst.
"The green bird was injured because it was trying to block the claw ghost that attacked us." The yellow magpie looked unwilling: "It's just that the claw ghost was too cunning. It ran away as soon as it smelled our scent."
After a while, the old sorcerer who was treating patients in the room came out.
The old magician, with gray hair and a serious look on his face, slowly came out of the house.
“…………!” When Shi Qing saw Master Lu’s expression, his heart sank. Could it be that Lu Que…? Shi Qing didn’t dare to think further.
Green Bird is very talented and is well-known in Qingshan Village for his cheerful personality. He can get along with anyone. Even the people in the ordinary villages he depends on are very convinced of Green Bird. Shi Qing has already regarded Green Bird as his successor.
Shi Qing couldn't show the emotions churning in his heart on his face.
Shi Qing stepped forward to greet Master Lu and asked calmly: "Master Lu, how is the green bird doing?" The yellow magpie at the side did not dare to step forward, but when he heard the village chief's question, he looked at Master Lu eagerly, expecting his next words.
But Master Lu's expression and his solemn head shake completely shattered the two's hope.
"The strange power is mixed, and the poison has entered the body." Master Lu said his diagnosis, and his expression was very serious: "I have used the sap of the stone tree to temporarily suppress Green Bird's injuries, barely maintaining life. Now it depends on whether we can find something to save her life."
"We need both the food that can heal injuries and the food that can strengthen the body. If it's the best, we can find the food that can suppress the toxins of the strange force." Master Lu looked up at Shi Qing and said, "I heard from Master Qiongshan that the merchants in Shizhu Village once brought a kind of strange food called 'laurel seeds'. Laurel seeds can detoxify and have a gentle moon attribute. Although it conflicts with the green bird attribute, I can't care so much now."
Laurel seeds, Shi Qing knows.
It is the strange food in the hands of Zhu Hui, a merchant from Shizhu Village.
It is said that it is a very rare type of moon-related strange food, which can enhance the sensitivity to moonlight. Many of the leaders of the forces he knows have taken out their shares of signature strange food and vermilion ash just for the share of laurel seeds in his hand.
However, this is not the reason why Shi Qing's face darkened.
What's more crucial is that Shi Qing doesn't have a good relationship with the Blood Poison lineage of Shizhu Village. To be more precise, he has a very bad relationship with Blood Seven. No one knows why their relationship has deteriorated. In a word, the two of them are like kings who don't meet each other. If one person is invited to an occasion, the other person cannot be invited.
Because of Shi Qing, the entire Qingshan Village had no forces doing business with the Blood Poison lineage. All the people in Qingshan Village who had awakened their talents tacitly avoided the Blood Poison lineage's tricksters.
Huang Que suddenly realized. No wonder Master Lu had been looking at the village chief. Indeed, this was something only the village chief could do.
"..." Shi Qing had expected this when Master Lu started talking. After hearing this, he was not surprised. On the contrary, he pondered for a moment and then made up his mind: "Don't worry, I will go find Zhu Hui right away."
The Zhuhui caravan often comes to the Shiwandashan Mountains. Maybe something happened during this period of time, so they happened to stay for a few more days. Shi Qing quickly found out the location of the caravan.
Vermillion Caravan.
The tent was located right in the center of the Ten Thousand Mountains, not far from the Qiong Mountain and some distance from the Ming Mountain. Zhu Hui was very satisfied with his vision.
Zhu Hui was calculating the share of strange food in his hands in the tent. Special share of strange food has special use. Now, all the Yangteng fruits in his hands have been reserved. It was probably because the laurel seeds had helped him to leave a deep impression on the leaders of various forces, so when there is new goods, they are the first to buy them.
However, Zhu Hui does not sell to just anyone. He also looks at the other party's sphere of influence and whether they have any rare or strange plants.
Zhu Hui never does business at a loss.
If you calculate it, he did not lose money on this trip, and overall he made a lot of money, especially the yangteng fruit, which helped him make a lot of money. Of course, the main reason was that the laurel seeds were too effective before, and these leaders did not want to lose the share of Zhu Hui's caravan.
"...Huh, Lord Chongshan is really my benefactor." Zhu Hui took a deep breath and said with a smile, secretly proud of his own vision. Thinking back, when Lord Chongshan was still penniless, he saw the potential of the other party and invested a large amount without hesitation, which led to such a friendship.
What’s hateful is that poisonous snake, Banlan, which smelled the scent from somewhere and couldn’t be driven away.
Zhu Hui now thought about what that flamboyant guy said when he went to talk to Ban Lan. Business is all about competence. Didn't he come to settle the account for Hei Huaizi's matter? After that, he rolled his eyes at him, which made him even more annoyed.
Zhu Huixin finally decided to file a complaint when he returned to the village. At least his elders couldn't just stand by and watch, so he went to fight with Elder Banlan.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door frame outside the tent, waking up Zhu Hui. Then, Zhu Bai's voice was heard at the door.
"Boss, something happened!" There was something wrong with Zhu Cai's voice.
Zhu Hui paused, and immediately realized that there was something wrong with Zhu Baihua's words, but it didn't sound like a bad thing. He paused for a moment, and quickly said, "Come in."
Zhu Bai, with a happy face, opened the tent and walked in in three or two steps.
"What's the matter? Why are you so happy?" Zhu Hui asked puzzledly when he saw Zhu Bai's expression. Zhu Bai always felt that he had grown up recently. He had a stern face all day long and was always mumbling. It was quite rare to see him like this.
