The two walked far away for a long time. Yang Zhao turned around and said softly: "We should have arrived at Duize Prefecture now, right?"

Zhou Qingmu nodded when he heard this. There was already a city faintly visible in his field of vision, and he replied: "According to the markings on the map, after passing the Duanhun Tianyuan, you will reach Duizezhou. There seems to be a city ahead, we can ask about it later!"

Yang Zhao then looked into the distance and saw a vague city. He was overjoyed and his pace quickened a lot.

"I can finally have a good human meal again! Grandma, I'm starving to death these days!"

Although Yang Zhao has entered the path of cultivation, broken and then established, and is vaguely about to reach a higher level, Yang Zhao has never cared about the rules of fasting in Taoism. On the contrary, although he comes from a famous family, he has always regarded himself as a charlatan.

Yang Zhao, he really cares about food and wine in this world!

After walking for a long time, the two finally approached the city. At this time, the two stood on a hill and looked at the city wall with the "Kong Huai" plaque engraved on it from a distance.

At this time, Yang Zhao slapped his thigh and said overjoyed: "I remembered here, it is Konghuai City in Duize Prefecture. It is the farthest city in the northeast of Duize Prefecture, although it is separated from Kanshui Prefecture by the Soul-Deading Abyss.

, but it borders the northwest of Lihuo State. Therefore, there are still a lot of people coming and going here, and it can be regarded as a prosperous city!"

Zhou Qingmu heard this and asked: "This place seems to be very famous! But why was the city named Kong Huai? I haven't read much since I was a child, so I don't quite understand the meaning."

Yang Zhao smiled awkwardly when he heard this and said: "Actually, I don't know much about this. It seems to come from a sentence "Brother Kong Huai" in a Confucian classic. In the past, the old men in my family told me about the states in the Eastern Region of Tianqian.

When I read the knowledge, I would feel drowsy every time, and then fall into a deep sleep while listening. I just feel that I need to know these things in the world? I am not one of those scholars who are full of sourness. Knowing these is very important to me.

There is no benefit to my cultivation, so I have never cared about it. I just listened to it when I really couldn't sleep, and I just remembered these things. I may have remembered them wrong, so don't ask me about these things.

thing."

Zhou Qingmu was quite helpless about this, so he had no choice but to take another step and simply not ask.

In late autumn, there is desolation between heaven and earth.

The white-haired Confucian scholar in white clothes and a gentle face suddenly appeared in Zhou Qingmu's mind, and he said something coldly.

"Between the mountains and rivers, the land of our country and our country are all filled with knowledge."

"Zhou Qingmu, why are you suddenly so arrogant?"

...

In Kanshui Prefecture, the middle-aged man has disappeared from the cliff above Duanhun Tianyuan.

At this time, the middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life stood in the clouds, and beside him was the smiling old man in Taoist robes.

The old man in Taoist robe suddenly frowned and said to the middle-aged man: "Xuan Jiu, I won't stay here with you. Just now, news came from the west that there is something wrong in Lotus Cave, and I am urgently asked to go back and take charge.

.I am getting old, and my old bones are not as good as your young people! When I go this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to see the excitement of your generation again!"

Xuan Jiu frowned when he heard this and said, "How could this happen in the Lotus Cave?"

The old man in Taoist robes walked slowly with his back to Xuan Jiu. He seemed much older.

"Oh, there will be such a day! It is the same for both Lotus Cave Heaven and me. I have lived for hundreds of years and have seen too many wonderful things. It is time for you young people to make way for me."

Xuan Jiu's expression changed, and he felt infinite regret in his heart. He finally responded to the old man: "Senior, having you is the blessing of the world! I believe Ye Jing'an will find the way for the next thing. The next burden

Leave it to us and leave it to those children!"

The old man in the Taoist robe smiled and nodded, his body glowed with golden light, his white hair fell off, and his Taoist robe turned into a cassock!

At this time, the old man already looked like a Buddha who saved suffering!

"Juniors send you off to seniors!"

Xuan Jiu turned towards the old figure, bent down and bowed his hands.

...

Yang Zhao and Zhou Qingmu found a restaurant in the city. Zhou Qingmu gritted his teeth and took out a few taels of silver. They ordered the dishes and served rice.

One bowl of braised pork and two bowls of rice.

This was already the last half of Zhou Qingmu's belongings. During the journey, he had already spent most of the fifty taels of silver that Tang Zijin had left behind.

Zhou Qingmu never expected that food consumption in this city would be so high. You must know that these few taels of silver were enough to buy a large table of braised pork in Zhou Qingmu's hometown town.

As soon as the waiter served the food, Yang Zhao devoured it without hesitation.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingmu was not to be outdone. He picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, eating the rice with big mouthfuls. That was not all, there were only a few pieces of meat in the bowl. The two of them fought for a while before Yang Zhao seemed to surrender.

Putting down his chopsticks, Zhou Qingmu took the last piece of fragrant meat and finished with half a bowl of rice.

Such behavior made the waiter next to the table look with contempt in his eyes.

But the two brothers, who were so poor that only Zhou Qingmu had a few taels of silver left, didn't care. They patted their bellies at the same time and walked out of the door comfortably.

After a good meal, Yang Zhao, who wanted to continue on his way, was forced to follow Zhou Qingmu to find some work that could earn some money at Zhou Qingmu's strong request.

It's a pity that this is not the town where Zhou Qingmu once lived, nor is it a border town. Where is there any work to help people? Whether it is an inn, restaurant, or caravan, most of them are not short of manpower. There is only one Zi Lihuo.

The caravan coming from Lihuo Prefecture is said to be from the Yang family, the first family in Lihuo Prefecture, and they are short of two men to do chores for those Taoists.

Zhou Qingmu was extremely happy, because he only needed to do this job for three days and he could get a lot of money. However, Yang Zhao, who was hiding in the alley and did not want to go with Zhou Qingmu, was unwilling to do so, so Zhou Qingmu had to

Helplessly give up.

The two of them stood in the alley. Zhou Qingmu's eyes were serious, staring directly into Yang Zhao's eyes. This made Yang Zhao feel uncomfortable with this look, and he turned his head away in a cold sweat.

Zhou Qingmu stared at it for a long time and finally said: "Yang Zhao, tell the truth, why don't you want to accompany me to work for the Lihuo Yang family's caravan? Could it be..."

At this time, Yang Zhao, whose figure was distorted by Zhou Qingmu's murderous eyes, swallowed involuntarily.

"Could it be that you are the young master of the Yang family and you sneaked out for fear of being discovered?"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zhao's body trembled and he almost fell down.

After Yang Zhao stabilized his body, he pretended to be serious and said: "How is that possible? Do you think I am like someone from a rich ancient family? My family is just an ordinary family that can make a living, but I don't care.

Yu went to do odd jobs for other aristocratic families."

Zhou Qingmu looked Yang Zhao up and down again. After he couldn't see that the guy in front of him looked like a young master from a luxurious family, he nodded as if he agreed with Yang Zhao's words: "That's right, which kid from a rich family can be like you?"

What does it look like?”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Zhao almost spit out blood. However, he did not refute.

At this time, Zhou Qingmu sighed helplessly and said, "What should we do now?"

Yang Zhao looked calm. After thinking about it in his mind, he suddenly thought of an excellent method and said, "Don't forget that we are cultivators. Cultivators naturally have the same methods as cultivators to earn money."

.”

How do cultivators make money?

Zhou Qingmu has never heard of it.

So Zhou Qingmu quickly asked: "Do we cultivators have any special ways to make money?"

Yang Zhao seemed to be used to Zhou Qingmu's "ignorance" and was used to pretending to be a "knowledgeable" person in front of young people. He smiled mysteriously: "Do you know about killing spirits?"

Zhou Qingmu was naturally unclear and asked: "What is spirit-slaying?"

Yang Zhao continued: "Demons, like humans, are spiritual beings born under the fate of heaven and earth. But the demons are blessed with some spirituality that people do not have. This spirituality is not wisdom, but a commonality given to them by God.

.Spirit-killing is originally the name used by border monks for killing monsters. However, although most of the monsters in the world have been isolated by the human race in the Northern Wilderness Monster Territory, there are still some residual monsters in the human realm. These remaining monsters

Most of them were tamed by Taoist masters and submitted to the human mountain sect. However, some monsters refused to submit and hid in the mountains and forests, where cholera often appeared. From then on, soul-killing appeared in the sight of the inner-land monks. Usually,

The sects and aristocratic families on the mountain issue tasks to their disciples to quell the demonic rebellion. After the disciples perform these tasks, the sect or the aristocratic family will also issue corresponding rewards."

"This kind of residual demon species is especially prevalent in Duize Prefecture. It is least abundant in the three prefectures of Tianqian, Kanshui and Genshan that border the Beihuang Demon Territory. The reason is naturally that a large number of masters from the Hedao Sect monks often go to the border to hone their skills.

Related. As for the other states, the reason why there is almost no demonic chaos is that the monks in these states are both mysterious and mysterious in their Taoism. The two states of Lihuo are the most lethal, and they often have help from other states or two regions.

Although Duize Prefecture borders the Western Region of Lianhua, it is a pity that there is an extremely weird river in between. The Buddhist monks seem to be a little taboo, and almost no monks come here. The Lu family of Dikun Prefecture has almost retired to the world and has never helped. Others

The sects and aristocratic families in Dikunzhou who are not as good as the Lu family are naturally not willing to help."

"That's why Duize Prefecture has such an embarrassing status. Even though the Duize Shen family has suppressed it several times, it seems to be because Duize Prefecture has excellent terrain and rich spiritual energy. For countless years, fresh monster species have still been born again in the spring breeze.

After killing the monster, the monk can take out the source of the monster's body, which is the demon elixir. This kind of thing is also of great benefit to the practice of human monks. Often, some demon elixirs of good monsters can be sold for a lot of money.

The price is very low. Therefore, in recent years, some chambers of commerce have successively launched soul-killing missions under this situation. This kind of soul-hunting mission can not only sharpen one's cultivation but also earn money. It has also influenced many foreign monks to come to exchange.

Zezhou Spirit Hunting. But the prerequisite is that the demon pill must be sold to the chamber of commerce that distributes the mission. Generally, the chamber of commerce will not only pay the reward that should be received, but also give the monk the price of the demon pill."

Yang Zhao said a lot in succession. He now knows very well about such a famous thing in the world!

After hearing this, Zhou Qingmu's eyes flashed: "So the spirit-slaying mission is very valuable?"

Yang Zhao smiled when he heard this. He was used to the young man's greedy eyes, and said: "It depends on the difficulty of the task. Let's first find out if there is any chamber of commerce in the city spreading ghost hunting missions."

After saying that, Zhou Qingmu nodded, and the two of them wandered around the city side by side.

Zhou Qingmu had been following Yang Zhao's footsteps, but he didn't realize that Yang Zhao seemed to have deliberately avoided the street where the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce was located.

The two wandered around the city for a while. Although they found many chambers of commerce, almost none of them had any soul-slaying missions. The two had no choice but to continue searching.
