Chapter 74: The Fifth Task - Fixed Assets 21(1/2)
The sky is foggy and the air is cold, humid and stuffy.
Mo Yiyi and her group were standing on a loess road, and the outer steward was still holding her. Noila Mo, who was being carried by the outer steward, felt like vomiting.
The feeling of being sucked in just now was not pleasant, and Mo Yiyi was particularly uncomfortable with the tumbling sensation like an overwhelming mountain.
By the time the other sword cultivators present felt good, not only were they standing firm, but Senior Brother Kun also grabbed the Jin Yuan Sword that Mo Yiyi was not holding when he was being sucked in!
Senior Brother Kun handed the sword to Mo Yiyi. After taking it, Mo Yiyi stuffed the sword back into the storage compartment without thinking.
She just felt it when the storage compartment was opened.
If you use storage items in this secret realm, bad things will happen.
Because of this feeling, Noila Mo hesitated for a while but did not stuff the Jin Yuan Sword into the storage bag, but held it in her arms.
The outer door steward put down Noila Mo. With her feet on the ground, Mo Yiyi felt a little weak in her legs, but she still stood firm.
"Wu Bing's little apprentice, you are very powerful. You actually got the entrance to the secret realm. But why did you suddenly open it? This is not easy to handle."
Noila Mo suppressed the feeling of vomiting and explained after a long while.
"I didn't open it, it opened it on its own after absorbing the spiritual energy."
Originally, if you want to open the entrance to the secret realm, you need to set up a spirit gathering array so that the entrance to the secret realm can absorb enough spiritual energy in a short period of time before it can be opened.
Mo Yiyi did not set up a spirit gathering array, but if the storage compartment could not be held up, it would automatically adjust the most suitable storage environment for the items, and by default a large amount of spiritual energy would be gathered for it to absorb!
This is because there is a box outside the stone statue, and there is a magic circle on the box, which blocks the speed at which the stone statue absorbs spiritual energy.
Otherwise, the stone statue may be opened on the spaceship!
The outer door steward asked Mo Yiyi curiously.
"You're not stupid, are you throwing it into the pile of high-grade spiritual stones? Quickly take a look, is your high-grade spiritual stone still there?"
Mo Yiyi stopped talking, thinking how could I be so stupid, but she couldn't refute it. After all, opening the entrance to the secret realm does require a lot of spiritual energy.
In the end, the external steward took Mo Yiyi's silence as acquiescence, and he immediately became heartbroken.
"What a sin! How many spiritual stones did you suck into this? You little brat, you really don't know how to live!"
Noila Mo was very aggrieved, but she couldn't refute, so she could only accept what she said.
In fact, not only was the outer door manager extremely distressed, Senior Sister Yao and Senior Brother Kun were also particularly distressed after discovering this possibility.
It's just that they are Mo Yiyi's younger brothers after all. Although they feel sorry for her, they can't say anything. They can only hope that the outer door manager can talk about her more and don't make such mistakes again in the future.
Even if she has too many spiritual stones to spend, she can still give them some. They don’t mind having too many spiritual stones, really!
The outer steward wanted to say a few more words to Mo Yiyi, but he didn't expect that a dilapidated carriage suddenly appeared, and almost in a few breaths, it came to the group of them!
The outer steward looked straight over and met the eyes of the man driving the carriage.
The man has big hands and feet, but he is not very tall. From where he is sitting, you can tell that he is about five feet (1.66 meters) at most. His clothes are quite thick. The cotton-padded clothes are made of clean washed fabrics with wadding inside.
The thick cotton made this short man a lot stronger!
However, this is also the strange thing. Although Mo Yiyi and his party felt a little cold when they were standing here, that was because the predecessor of this secret realm was a ghost, and it was normal for it to be cold.
However, this man wore so many clothes and still looked shivering, which was obviously due to the cold weather.
The man stopped the carriage in front of them, rubbed his pale hands, breathed into his palms as if he were alive, and asked them with a smile.
"Everyone, would you like to take a carriage?"
Mo Yiyi had observed that when a man breathed out, no white air came out, but she opened her mouth and tried, and in the current cold environment, she could still breathe out.
Therefore, this man is not normal!
Mo Yiyi was not afraid, but rather curious because it was the first time she saw this kind of existence.
Therefore, she naturally took a step forward and asked him over the door.
"If we take a carriage, where do you plan to take us?"
The man smiled, the wrinkles on his face becoming more and more obvious, and he said happily.
"You are going to Peach Blossom Village. I know this village. If the four of you want to go to Peach Blossom Village, just give me five cents each!"
Noila Mo raised her eyebrows and then asked again.
"What is Peach Blossom Village? Why should we go to Peach Blossom Village?"
There was a look of embarrassment on the man's face, he put his hands into his sleeves and said sincerely.
"Five cents is really not expensive. We can't spend any less. It's snowing so hard now, the road is not easy to walk, and it gets dark early. I'll send you all to Taohua Village. It will be dark by then. I'll come back later."
It is also dangerous to go home."
What the man heard seemed to be different from what Mo Yiyi asked. After Mo Yiyi hesitated for a moment, he nodded.
"Okay then, you can send us to Peach Blossom Village."
However, I heard the man say it again.
"Four coins? It doesn't work, it doesn't work, four coins doesn't work. How about this? There are four guests in total, and they add up to twenty coins. You can just give us nineteen coins. How about that?"
"It's not easy for my horse to go out and make a living in the snow. Four pennies per person is really not enough, at least nineteen pennies!"
The man turned on the self-talking mode, and Mo Yiyi found it strange. Senior Brother Kun explained to her from behind.
"He should be reenacting the scene. Just wait."
Mo Yiyi had never encountered such a scene. Seeing that the man had already talked to himself and had retreated to 18 words, out of curiosity, she waved to Senior Sister Yao to come over.
Senior Sister Yao took two steps forward and arrived in front of Mo Yiyi, curious about what she was going to do.
However, Mo Yiyi stretched out her Jin Yuan Sword and pointed at the jade inlaid on the scabbard.
"Sister, please help me take it off!"
This scabbard was sold to her by Manager Yang at a high price. It is said that the scabbard was once used by Rouge Sword.
This scabbard was very expensive, but it was a pity that no one present except Mo Yiyi knew the value of this scabbard.
Rather, it was because everything on the scabbard was made of ordinary materials, and none of the sword cultivators present took it seriously.
So Mo Yiyi pointed at the inlaid jade and asked her to pick it, and she did it without any psychological burden.
With the hand strength of a Jindan swordsman, she can crush a whole jade into pieces, let alone an inlaid jade!
This is a piece of the finest mutton-fat white jade. Although it is only the size of a lychee, it is still valuable.
Noila Mo took the piece of mutton-fat white jade and threw it into the arms of the coachman who was talking to himself without hesitation.
The coachman's soliloquy was interrupted and he was frozen there. Only his head turned around and faced Mo Yiyi.
Facing this weird scene, Noila Mo was not afraid and spoke to him naturally.
"This piece of jade is worth at least several hundred taels. It will all be used as your fare. You can take us to Taohua Village."
The coachman stared at Mo Yiyi stiffly for a while, and then he looked at the white jade that fell in his arms. White frost slowly climbed up his face, and his neat bun seemed to have also fallen on it.
It's snowing and it's freezing.
After such a strange change, he opened his mouth and showed a huge smile.
Originally this should be scary, but no one present was scared, and Senior Sister Yao even complained to Mo Yiyi.
"Oh my God, he has so many missing teeth. How does he eat on a daily basis?"
Perhaps because he understood what Senior Sister Yao said, the coachman instantly put away the smile on his face, looked at them with a stiff face for a long time, and then said again.
"Three cents is three cents, guests, please get on the bus."
Before, I was haggling for four pennies, but in the blink of an eye, it became three pennies. It seems that the jade is still useful. The coachman has fast-forwarded the plot!
Senior Sister Yao got on the carriage first, and after confirming that there was no problem, she carried Mo Yiyi up, followed by Senior Brother Kun and the outer door steward.
After they got on the carriage, the carriage started driving normally, and after the carriage started driving, the people sitting in the carriage also felt the coldness of the ice and snow.
When it came to the coachman, he seemed to be the same as when they first saw him, driving the carriage in silence.
Senior Sister Yao, Senior Brother Kun and the Outer Sect Steward are all monks. With their spiritual bodies protecting their bodies, the cold under normal conditions is not a problem for them at all. They have even been to more extreme environments.
Among them, only Mo Yiyi doesn't know how to protect the body with spiritual energy, but she is the richest among them. She is so rich that every piece of clothing she buys is of high quality. The lowest standard is to keep warm in winter and cool in summer.
No invasion!
Therefore, among them, Mo Yiyi is the one with the lowest level and lives the most comfortable life!
After the carriage creaked and creaked for a while, the driver suddenly laughed and started talking to himself again.
"My mother-in-law made these clothes for me. They are filled with new cotton. Even now, even if I wear them when I go out in the dead of winter, I won't feel cold!"
"..."
"My wife is just a village girl. She is nothing special. She is good at cooking. Even wild vegetables and whole grains can be made in new ways."
"..."
"No, if it weren't for the children, who would be willing to go out in such a cold weather! There's nothing we can do about it. I have two children, both boys, and I can't think about their future."
"..."
To be continued...
