Snow stone is not a product of Rouyuan, but a rare gemstone produced in Ruiyuan. It is produced in the extremely cold land of Ruiyuan and is hidden deep in the frozen soil and ice. It is rare in quantity and it is very difficult to dig it out.
.
The preciousness of snow stone lies in its extremely low temperature. Even if it is a pot of boiling soup, if the snow stone is thrown in directly without adding firewood to burn it, the boiling soup will cool down in a short time. If
In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, the surface of the soup will freeze.
Originally, snow stones were nothing in extremely cold places like Seiwon, but this gemstone was like a magic weapon for other places in Jiuyuan that suffered from scorching heat in summer, and the price naturally continued to rise. Now a snow stone the size of an egg is just as valuable.
Worth a gold dragon.
The snow stones in Chi Erda's bag totaled thirty, and they were worth twenty gold dragons. For Lin Suotu, he was making a lot of money.
However, as Chierda and Gusmo were Rouyuan people, how could they hold so many Ruiyuan snow stones? This aroused Lin Suotu's suspicion. It is not that Lin Suotu does not love money, otherwise he would not sell it.
Strange zombies, but he must consider the consequences of holding these snow stones.
Everyone in Jiuyuan knows that Rouyuan and Ruiyuan have always been at odds and are still in a state of war. However, the two sides will form alliances for special reasons from time to time. Although Rouyuan surrendered to the court again more than ten years ago, Ruiyuan, who had ceased his activities and withdrawn his troops,
The Yan people still support their troops and respect themselves, and have not bowed to the imperial court so far.
Therefore, all things flowing out of Ruiyuan, including snow stones, will be traced once they are put on the market. Unless there is a document proving it from the court, otherwise, it will be regarded as colluding with the Yan clan.
Snow stones are very expensive when sold directly. Although they can also be sold in the underworld market, the price will be greatly reduced, because although snow stones are rare, their rarity is far less than other rare treasures sold in the underworld market.
Rare treasure.
To sum up, if Lin Suotu gets these snow stones without supporting court documents, he will get into trouble. This is why he questions the identity of the two people.
Seeing that Lin Suotu had no snow stones, Chierda knew that the original plan would not work, so he had to take out ten more golden dragons and stack them on the table. Then he put on his gloves and carefully put the snow stones back into the bag.
good.
Chierda's original plan was that if the purchase of the alien corpses was discovered and the Huayuan court traced it, they would find the snow stone in Lin Suotu's hand, and they would naturally connect the matter with the Yan clan in Ruiyuan.
If it fails, Rouyuan Torsi's head will not be traced.
However, Chi Erda underestimated Lin Sotu.
Lin Suotu looked at the golden dragons on the table and said coldly: "The price has increased now, twenty golden dragons."
When Gusmo heard this, he became angry: "What do you mean? Raising the price on the ground?"
Lin Suotu showed an evil smile, and after snapping his fingers, all the zombies in the coffin at the back crawled out and turned to look at Chi Erda and Gusmo, which made the two of them nervous.
Chi Erda smiled and asked: "What does Boss Lin mean by this? Isn't it settled? Ten golden dragons."
Lin Suotu put away his smile: "If you didn't take out the snow stones, it would be ten, but if you took it out, you would have to double it. The reason is very simple. Paying with snow stones is equivalent to cheating me. Since you have
It’s so frustrating to me, why can’t I just sit on the ground and raise the price?”
Chi Erda still maintained a smile: "Boss Lin, you misunderstood..."
"I didn't misunderstand!" The flesh on Lin Suotu's cheeks trembled, "Don't treat me like an idiot, twenty gold dragons, or get out of here. If you want to do it, you two will end up turning into two different corpses.
Think about it carefully, warrior of Torsi tribe."
Although Gusmo really wanted to hit Lin Suotu on the head with an axe, but even if he killed Lin Suotu and the others, they would die, and there was no specific way to obtain blood feeding, so he had no choice but to give up.
Chi Erda counted out ten more golden dragons: "The extra five are considered as making friends with Boss Lin, and we ask Boss Lin to keep it a secret for us."
Lin Suotu put away the golden dragon on the table and said directly without any nonsense: "At three o'clock tonight, go to the graveyard outside the town. I will hand over the ten strange corpses to you immediately."
Gusmo naturally didn't believe it: "What if you don't come?"
Lin Suotu said arrogantly: "Even if I don't go, what can you do?"
Chierda immediately said: "My subordinate has an impulsive personality and has offended Boss Lin. Please calm down Boss Lin. See you at the graveyard at midnight tonight."
Lin Suotu just snorted coldly and watched Chi Erda and Gusmo walk through the alien corpses and leave in embarrassment.
After Chierda and Gusmo left the gambling house, the furious Gusmo was still cursing there, but Chierda suddenly said: "Don't you think the female corpse that Lin Suotu changed into a strange corpse looks familiar to you?
?”
Gusmo immediately stopped and said, "If it's not a coincidence, the person wearing that white bell hairpin should be the Snow Girl of Rouyuan."
Chi Erda nodded and said: "Yes, it's a snow girl, but how is that possible?"
Gusmo said: "The range of activities of the Snow Maiden is limited to Ruiyuan, because those monsters can only live in extremely cold places. Once they leave, they will not survive at all. Moreover, how could the Snow Maiden dress up like a dancing girl from Nishihara and sneak into Nishihara?"
Entering Huayuan in a caravan."
Chi Erda frowned and thought for a while and said, "Could it be the Ruiyuan Yan clan who did it?"
Gusmo immediately said: "How is this possible? Since the ancient Kunlun Dynasty, the Yan tribe has been hunting Xue Nu. To Xue Nu, the Yan tribe are enemies with different ties of life, and it is impossible for them to cooperate."
Chi Erda still didn't understand: "If the people in Ruiyuan didn't help, how could the Snow Girl leave Ruiyuan and join the caravan in Xiyuan? You must know that the Snow Girl clan has no contact with the outside world at all. Let alone people, they will not have any contact with the outside world.
There are conflicts with other demon clans."
Gusmo took a breath of air as he remembered that encounter a few years ago——
A few years ago, the Torsi tribe learned that there was a tribe in Ruiyuan that was dissatisfied with the high-pressure rule of the Yan tribe and wanted to rebel. The king of the tribe at that time, the old father of Princess Baomeng, asked Chierda to lead Gusmo and others
A sentry team of twenty-five warriors secretly sneaked into Ruiyuan territory to discuss an alliance with the tribe.
If the tribe agrees to form an alliance with the Torsi tribe, in the future war between the Torsi tribe and the Yan tribe, the tribe can suddenly attack from behind the Yan tribe's army.
Chi Erda led the sentry team into Ruiyuan territory without any danger, and found the tribe under the guidance of the guide. Unexpectedly, he found that everyone in the tribe had been frozen into ice sculptures.
Ruiyuan is located in the northeast of Jiuyuan. It is in the cold winter for half of the year. But no matter how cold it is, it will not freeze to death all the people in this tribe who have long adapted to the cold, and many of the people who have been frozen to death are still in their tents.
Or in a cave, everyone had a look of fear on their faces, and some were still trying to escape, as if there was a sudden freezing cold wave.
Because it was only a small part of the tribe, Childa asked the guide to continue leading the way to find other members of the tribe, but the guide sat slumped in the snow and kept moving towards the distance, shrouded in white snow mist.
mountains of prayer.
Chi Erda got closer and heard words such as "Snow Song" and "Snow Girl" coming from his mouth. It seemed that he was very frightened.
Seeing that the guide did not dare to go any further, Childa asked what was going on.
The guide told Chi Erda that the only people in Ruiyuan who can easily freeze people into ice sculptures are snow monsters, and among the snow monsters, the most terrifying are the snow maidens of the Snow Song Clan. This kind of monster looks exactly like a human, but is born with
She is beautiful, has skin as white as snow, is good at ice and snow magic, and can freeze anything with just a snap of her fingers.
The snow girls of the Snow Song Clan all live in the snowy mountains of Ruiyuan, because according to legend, there is a snow demon country in the snow mountains, which is composed of all kinds of snow demons and cannot be set foot in by mortals.
The people of this tribe must have offended the snow demon, which is why they suffered this bad fate. If they continue to go to other people in the tribe, they may also encounter the snow demon, and none of the people in this sentry team will survive.
Although the legend of monsters has been popular in Jiuyuan for thousands of years, very few people have seen it. Chi Erda has only heard stories of monsters in his decades of life and has never actually seen it with his own eyes. Naturally, he is unwilling to do so.
Believing it, he forced the guide to continue leading the way.
The guide had no choice. He would die if he didn't go, or he would die if he went. He was determined to continue walking forward, comforting himself by saying that even if he died, he would at least be able to see the Yuki Onna's peerless beauty with his own eyes.
Everyone continued to move forward, and when they reached a pass, because the weather cleared up, they saw a woman standing under a big frozen tree in the distance.
When the guide saw the woman, he immediately knelt down, trembling with fear, and even said that she was the snow girl.
Chi Erda looked at the woman, and was indeed attracted by her beauty. At the same time, she was surprised that in such a cold place, the woman was only wearing a white gauze, and the white gauze was looming, as if it was not a piece of clothing, but a piece of clothing.
It looks like it's made up of snow and mist floating around.
What Chi Erda remembers deeply is the white bell hanging on the hairpin on the woman's head. When the snowy wind blows, the bell makes a clear and sweet sound, seeming to play a melody with the snowy wind that only belongs here.
Chi Erda was about to step forward, but the woman raised her hand to signal Chi Erda and others to leave.
Of course Chierda would not believe what kind of monster it was, because the monsters in legend were all ferocious, so he wanted to step forward and ask.
Unexpectedly, when Chi Erda stepped forward, the woman turned away and disappeared in the swirling snow and fog in an instant, leaving Chi Erda and the others in the sentry team stunned.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Chierda still didn't give up and continued to search for that tribe, and he didn't know that bad luck would come.
That night, the sentry team found a cave to stay, lit a bonfire at the entrance of the cave, and worked in pairs to watch the night. When it was Gusmo and Childa's turn to watch the night, they were just woken up by the soldiers.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the woman he saw during the day standing not far away.
The woman found that the two men had woken up, but did not run away. Instead, she raised her hand and pointed to the location of the two men. Then a cold wave rolled in, and in an instant, the soldiers who woke them up were frozen into ice sculptures.
Chi Erda and Gusmo were dumbfounded. This time they saw someone being frozen into an ice sculpture with their own eyes. For a while, they not only forgot to fight, but also forgot to escape.
The woman did not hurt the two of them anymore, but turned around and left the cave.
When the two men came to their senses, they found that except for them, everyone else in the sentry team had frozen to death.
The cruel reality finally made Chi Erda and Gusmo understand that what the guide said was not alarmist, and that monsters like the Snow Song Clan Snow Maiden did exist.
