"Haha." The gray-white old man laughed dryly, "The five martial arts practitioners are all cultivation levels of the five laws and six realms. The four demon practitioners are all cultivation levels of the great magicians. In addition, in addition to this more expensive
You all have the close-fitting armor and other protective objects. And you are not the children of our family. I think they should be disciples of Wumen and Demon Valley."
"Besides, there are few young disciples here usually coming here. You came earlier than the disciples of the Wumen in previous years. You should be that there are more demon cultivators and are flying in the air." The gray-white old man analyzed it with great confidence.
It made several people amazed.
Du Xuan nodded and smiled, "Senior, he is indeed keen, and I admire him."
"Haha." The gray-white old man laughed proudly, "Well, I will do a loss-making business today."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked again. Could it be that the gray-white old man wanted to sell the animal leather armor to them at a cheap price?
The gray-white old man looked at Du Xuan and asked again: "From what you said just now, it seems that only you already have a close-fitting armor?"
"Yes." Du Xuan nodded.
The gray-white old man thought for a while and said, "In this way, take the eight animal leather armor clothes and give me fifty taels of silver."
"ah?!"
This shocked everyone. Why is the old man who was so angry just now?
"What? There is no fifty taels of silver? Alas, it's such a poor man! Forget it, take the armor first. If you can come back alive, give me the silver." The gray-white old man looked contemptuous, but after saying that, he waved his hand directly
Eight animal leather armored clothes flew out from the inner room.
The few of them were completely stunned and couldn't understand what kind of person this gray-white old man was.
"Yes, yes!" Looking at the armored robe flying in front of him, Zou Peng finally came to his senses and took out the silver and said, "Senior, this is fifty taels of silver."
"Do you have any money?" The gray-white old man looked at the fifty taels of silver handed over and said coldly.
Zou Peng grinned and explained: "Senior, all of us only bought this animal leather armor. But we still have to stay here for a long time, such as elixirs, magic weapons, etc., in the future
I have to buy it. So, I definitely can't afford this animal leather armor now. But we all pay fifty taels of silver together, so there must be some."
The gray-white old man nodded slightly, sighed lightly, pushed away the fifty taels of silver, and said, "Tsk tsk, look at you who are poor! I don't want these fifty taels of silver, so I'll give it to you."
"Ah?" Zou Peng couldn't believe his ears.
"What? You don't want to give it to me?" The gray-white old man snorted deliberately.
"Yes, I'm willing!" Xie Ming first came to his senses and took back the money while saying, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you senior!"
The other people also quickly bowed and thanked.
*******
After leaving Shenkong Pavilion, everyone returned directly to Tingfengyi Inn.
The monster old men in Shenkong Pavilion have confused them for a long time. In such a mixed place, everyone really has it. The invaders who kill people like numbness and blood debts, the enthusiastic and thoughtful businessman who sees money, and the temper of this
Weird, I don’t know if it’s a gray-white old man who does business.
That night, almost no nine people fell asleep.
Tomorrow, we will step into the Kongtong Mountains.
It is unknown whether it is a blessing or a disaster, whether it is a life or a death in the future.
A crescent moon appears faintly in the light blue sky, and the rising sun in the east gradually reveals a red edge. Only in this summer morning can you see the wonder of the sun and the moon on the same day.
At the hour of Mao, Du Xuan woke up on time as usual.
In this Xingfeng Town, the outside is not as quiet as the Demon Valley. At this moment, you can vaguely hear the movements coming from outside.
When I walked out of the inn, there were already many hurried pedestrians on the street. Judging from their appearance, they should be mostly teams entering the mountains.
It is indeed Xingfeng Town, and it is indeed at the foot of the Kongtong Mountains.
"Xuanzi."
Looking back, it turned out to be Xie Ming, Long Wanshan and Zhong Nan.
"Look, we were the first to get up in Demon Valley. But here, someone has already set out to the Kongtong Mountains." Du Xuan looked at the pedestrians on the street and said lightly.
Long Wanshan let out a long sigh and sighed: "Yes, deep in the Demon Valley, how could he know the outside world."
"Life in Demon Valley is still too easy and comfortable." Zhong Nan also sighed.
"You guys got up quite early." At this time, a rough voice came from behind. Needless to say, it must be Zou Peng.
The four of them turned around and looked at the other five who had already gone downstairs.
"Eat, eat! After a full meal, we will enter the Kongtong Mountains!" Zou Peng sat at the table and said excitedly. Then, he turned around and shouted: "Waiter! Steamed buns and beef, bring them up!"
*******
After breakfast, the sunset in late summer had already revealed half of its figure, and the town of Feifeng in the early morning was slowly becoming noisy again.
Du Xuan and nine people marched towards the mysterious Kongtong Mountains with anticipation. Along the way, there were endless merchants shouting for elixirs to sell elixirs, and there were also many teams calling for recruiting newcomers.
Not everyone can come back alive when entering the dangerous Kongtong Mountains. The dead stays in the Kongtong Mountains forever, but the living still has to continue to vent. Of course, these teams with losses need to replenish fresh blood and add them to the
In the team.
Single-handedly? That's just something that a true martial arts master is qualified to do.
Even Du Xuan’s nine-person team can last for a long time, and how many people will eventually leave Xingfeng Town alive.
The most optimistic training team that Wumen comes to each year is also the most optimistic, and eighteen people stayed in the Kongtong Mountains forever. And the most tragic time, as many as forty-six people failed to return to Wumen.
As for Demon Valley, few disciples who usually go out to practice will return to Demon Valley, and the casualties cannot be counted. Either they still travel through the world, or they have a little fame and joined a large family. However, based on the situation of the Wumen, Demon Valley has been in the past years.
I think there are many disciples who have suffered casualties.
Leaving from the west gate of Xingfeng Town, there is a small road up the mountain. This is a path that our ancestors took with their lives more than a thousand years ago.
In general, the Kongtong Mountains have three north-south mountain ranges, but when they go deep into them, they are composed of countless mountains of all sizes.
After climbing over a mountain closest to Xingfeng Town, you can truly enter the Kongtong Mountains. There are many people going back and forth on this road, so naturally there are no ferocious beasts, at most there are only some unthreatening beasts.
These wild beasts are good things to satisfy your hunger. The best way for teams like Du Xuan and others who dare not go deep into the Kongtong Mountains is to rush back to the mountain before dark, catch a few wild beasts to satisfy your hunger. Then take a rest and sleep.
Evening, wait until dawn, and then set out to explore the depths.
In this way, it will continue until the strength of this team is improved enough to penetrate into more dangerous mountains.
Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh!
Suddenly, above his head, a group of people stepped on various air-controlling magic weapons and flew directly through the jungle and into the depths.
"Huh?" Luo Tian looked up and suggested, "Let's fly over too."
Everyone was about to nod their heads to agree, but Ouyang Ke shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's go over."
"Why?" Luo Tian was puzzled.
"We are weak, almost half of them are demon cultivators. It is hard to guarantee that no one has any evil intentions." Ouyang Ke said lightly, and then looked at Du Xuan and others, "I don't look down on you."
What it means, after all, it’s better to be careful.”
"It's okay, you should be more careful." Xie Ming nodded and smiled, not caring at all.
Two hours later, it was almost noon and the sun was already high.
The scorching sun was hot, and the forest was particularly wet and stuffy, and everyone was already sweating profusely. However, after two hours of fast journey, everyone climbed over three small hills. However, they still had not seen the ferocious beast.
Traces.
"Senior Brother Zou, look at the map. Why don't there be a ferocious beast? Did we go wrong?" Bai Zhang said panting.
"Okay." Zou Peng, who was walking in the front, stopped, took out the map and spread it out, and carefully identified it.
Ouyang Ke turned around, looked back at Du Xuan and others, and said in confusion: "You are in good health. You haven't fallen behind anyway."
"I have been preparing to come to Kongtong Mountains to experience it, so I have been training." Du Xuan said with a smile.
When Ouyang Ke and other martial arts disciples heard this, they nodded secretly. These demon cultivators are not completely useless as embroidered pillows.
"Look at the map." At this time, Xie Ming looked into the distance and suddenly said, "I'll go over there and take a look. It seems that some medicinal materials are acceptable."
Just as he was about to move, he turned around and said, "Who are you going with me?"
You can't act alone. This was one of the several rules agreed last night in the Kongtong Mountains.
"I'll go." Bai Zhang stepped forward and said, "I don't understand this map anyway."
"Well, be careful, don't go too far." Zou Peng had already put away his smile and began to ask for arrangements, "Luo Tian, Gao Jun, Wan Shan, Zhong Nan, you four are on guard."
"good."
The four of them responded, and they each stared at the corner of the front.
Zou Peng, Ouyang Ke and Du Xuan worked together to study the map, judge their location, and view areas marked on the map where ferocious beasts frequently appear.
The forest was silent, and even the common birds were nowhere to be seen. The sun shone through the treetops, and the sun shone on the earth. This scene made Du Xuan vaguely feel that it was somewhat similar to the moon-watching mountain outside the Demon Capital. However, here is the whole place
It is towering trees and bushes.
"Strange." After a while, Ouyang Ke murmured, "As shown in this map, this place should be the residence of Kongtong gibbons, why is there no movement?"
Zou Peng was also puzzled and said, "Has he been killed by others?"
"Ah! Then aren't we very unlucky? We walked so far but didn't get anything." Gao Jun, who was not far away, said with disappointment when he heard this.
"Have you said that the ferocious beasts in Kongtong Mountains are changing at any time, and the map is not completely accurate. You must also buy the latest map." Du Xuan recalled the words of the waiter in Tingfengyi Inn last night and said.
Ouyang Ke nodded and said, "That's right! This place is not far from the town, and there is no Kongtong Gibbon for more than five thousand years here. It should have been almost killed by other teams."
