Chapter 94: Eliminating the Roots
There are more than ten chefs in the Shen family troupe. They started to grill meat skewers, bring out fine wine, bake fragrant steamed buns, and boil mutton soup. Soon, more than ten food stalls were formed near the stage. In addition, there were such merchants in the caravan. They also made their own special food and added them to these stalls. There were more than thirty stalls in total.
Yu Zecheng looked strange. There were only these people in the caravan. Who would they sell these delicacies to? Soon the question was answered. People in front of them rode horses along the road and ran back here. They were all members of other caravans more than ten miles ahead. They gathered here when they saw the fireworks.
Some people even rode strange beasts and drove birds to approach here from the air. It turned out that the purpose of releasing fireworks was this.
The performance began, and the Shen family troupe began various performances, or the protagonists sang on the stage, or the clowns sprayed flames on the stage, or the beauties tamed the tigers there, or a group of girls danced thigh dances there.
There were people watching the excitement below, and cheers could be heard from time to time. Yu Zecheng also walked into these stalls, bought some meat skewers, drank a bowl of mutton soup, and ate a fragrant mask. It was much more delicious than the dry food that he and the Gulun brothers had eaten along the way. This was the real delicacy. But the prices were very expensive, a hundred times higher than the prices of the same delicacies in Linhai City.
Yu Zecheng didn't care at all. After eating, he threw a few gold leaves over and immediately became the most popular guest.
The performances were on the stage, and the audience was not idle. Many women from the Shen family who came down from the stage chatted with the guests who came to watch the excitement. After reaching a deal, they walked towards the carriage not far away, and then there was a shaking sound in the carriage, and the women's humming. It turned out that these women from the Shen family were engaged in the flesh trade and exchanged their bodies for money.
No wonder these people would run more than ten miles to come here to play, it turned out to be for this. But Yu Zecheng was not surprised. This was the case with ordinary troupes and circuses. These women sold their bodies while they were young to make more money so as not to be desolate when they were old. These women are much freer than those in brothels. They can freely choose who to sleep with and wander around, which is also considered free and easy.
Yu Zecheng is young and rich. After practicing Yang Se's four-character mantra, his every move is indescribably elegant and unrestrained, making it difficult for the women in the troupe to look away when they see him. Soon, a group of beautiful actresses from the Shen family surrounded Yu Zecheng in front and behind, wanting to have sex with him.
But Yu Zecheng was unmoved. The women he had contacted were all beautiful, and the looks of these women were not enough for him.
Yu Zecheng walked around for a while and was about to return to the separate tent prepared by the troupe to rest and practice. He suddenly found a pair of eyes secretly paying attention to him.
Yu Zecheng followed the gaze and the person who was peeping at Yu Zecheng withdrew his gaze, but the two still looked at each other. The other party was a girl, about the same age as Yu Zecheng, with a delicate face, eyebrows like a crescent moon, a face like a lotus, and a pretty figure.
Although the girl was beautiful, she looked at Yu Zecheng with hatred. Although the hatred was just a slight glance between the two, Yu Zecheng immediately felt the deep hatred.
There were two middle-aged men beside the girl. They found that Yu Zecheng was looking at this side, and hurriedly pulled the girl up and walked to the other side. One of the middle-aged men secretly glanced at Yu Zecheng, and his eyes were actually afraid. The three of them quickly disappeared on the other side of the stage.
Yu Zecheng didn't seem to care at all, but a flash of light and shadow flashed around him, and the various soul beasts had been released, moving forward invisibly, lurking and tracking the three people.
Yu Zecheng slowly returned to his tent. This was specially arranged for Yu Zecheng by the owner of the Shen class. The effect of the gold leaves was not bad for Yu Zecheng. Yu Zecheng casually took out ten taels of gold as the cost of renting the tent. Since getting the wealth of the three heroes of Ziling, Yu Zecheng is now very generous.
Entering the tent, Yu Zecheng sat cross-legged and began to practice. The first step is to enter the Green Forest and see what he has gained today.
Sure enough, the two old men, as well as the souls of the mortals and giant wolves killed by the various soul beasts, were all here, but these souls had lost their intelligence. The souls of those mortals and giant wolves had turned into black mist and could not maintain their original form. They could only be used as raw materials for the furnace and sacrificed with the furnace fire.
The souls of the other two old men also lost their intelligence, but countless past memories kept emerging on their souls, and they were suspended in permanent memories.
This is the shortcoming of the Soul-Slashing Blade. The souls captured by it are like this. Only then did Yu Zecheng understand the preciousness of Jin Xinzi's soul.
Yu Zecheng looked at the memories emerging on the souls of the two people, and suddenly saw the face of the girl who had just glared at him with hatred. Yu Zecheng was stunned for a moment, and then carefully watched the memories of the two people. Gradually, through these memory pictures, he knew the reason for the matter.
It turned out that the two old men were a family on the Taklamakan grassland on the western edge of Gunzhou. Their family was good at raising spirit beasts such as wolves and dogs, and belonged to the side branch of Yuanzhu Sect.
Three hundred years ago, a friend from Suiyuan arrived in Gunzhou. Knowing that they were good at raising dogs and wolves, he brought them a kind of animal from Suiyuan, a dog-headed human body, with intelligence, which was very rare.
This family accidentally discovered that these humble animals actually had dragon nature in this dog-headed human, belonging to the branch of the dragon clan. As long as they were related to dragons, they were synonymous with power, so this family began their own research on how to extract the dragon nature from this dog-headed human.
In this way, after painstaking research, they found that fighting kobolds contained more dragon nature, so they used their family's expertise to start the training process, driving the kobolds to fight each other ferociously, and extracting the essence. This breeding is two One hundred and sixty years later, after countless generations of optimization, integration, and bloodline blending, they finally found a way to extract the dragon spirit, and obtained the dragon spirit known as the Dragon Fighting Spirit.
For these studies, their family sold all their assets and owed countless huge sums of money. They finally completed the research and thought they would make a fortune. Who knew that after selling it everywhere, no one bought it.
It is simply a fantasy that the superior dragon spirit was obtained from a dog. All the immortal cultivators looked down upon this dragon spirit. Even if they were interested in buying it, they would definitely be ridiculed by everyone if they thought of using this weapon. It also puts out the desire to buy.
More importantly, after being extracted, this kind of dragon spirit can only remain unchanged for three years, and then it will dissipate. There are several immortal cultivators who want to buy this dragon spirit cheaply, but they have not yet had time to collect the materials for refining the dragon spirit. It dissipated, and they immediately came to their family to ask for a return, causing an uproar and uproar throughout the city. From then on, their brand was completely ruined and became a joke in the world of immortality.
There was no other way. In the end, they thought that they could only refining the magic weapon themselves and prove that the dragon spirit was indeed effective, so that they could revive their family. However, they found that they were in an awkward situation. The dragon spirits needed as raw materials to refine the magic weapon Flying Sword were all top-quality treasures. They simply could not get the raw materials for those treasures together. In the end, they only had the simplest three kinds of magic weapon Flying Sword to refine. They can still afford the methods, including the secret method of upgrading the steel sword.
But even for this simplest steel sword, they don't have money to buy raw materials now. Although the ten thousand year spirit wood is a common material in the world of immortality, it is very difficult to find and hard to come by. So when they saw what Yu Zecheng had After getting a ready-made steel sword, he had the intention to rob, and he became a robber for the first time, but was killed by Yu Zecheng.
That girl is Yan'er that the old man talked about before he died. She is the old man's granddaughter and the last hope of the Guang family. The old man wanted to snatch the Gangmu Sword and refine the Dragon Fighting Tiangang Sword. Firstly, he wanted to prove that his family's efforts were not in vain, and secondly, so that his granddaughter could use this sword to stand out in the Immortal Ascension Conference and become an inner disciple of the six sects. .
Those two middle-aged men are the sons of the old man. They have been practicing Taoism for thirty years. They have not yet entered the realm of fetal breath, and have even been surpassed by their own daughters.
Seeing this, Yu Zecheng immediately understood why that girl had such a deep hatred for him. Damn it, you robbed me, you still hate me so much after being killed by me, it's really unreasonable.
Yu Zecheng thought for a while and exited the green forest. Since the enemy has taken over, he must strike first. What kind of beauty is there? Only the dead enemy is the most beautiful.
Yu Zecheng's consciousness immediately flew out and contacted his own beasts. In an instant, Yu Zecheng's consciousness passed through the demonic thoughts left behind and shuttled into the bodies of the beasts. He began to watch his three enemies on the opposite side. .
The three of them were in a car, which was their carriage. They seemed to be arguing loudly, and Yu Zecheng listened attentively.
The two middle-aged men were advising the girl, and one of them said:
"Daughter, let's leave quickly. That kid is also in the convoy. Let's get out of here quickly before he finds us."
The girl said:
"No, I will never run away. I want to avenge my grandpa and second grandpa. I have bribed the class leader Shen and he promised to accept me as a newcomer. Tomorrow I will pretend to be an actor in the class to seduce him. As long as he takes the bait, I will use The wolf poison flower poisoned him to avenge the two grandfathers."
Another middle-aged man said:
"No, no, that kid has great skills. My father and uncle died in his hands. You can't take risks. You are the hope of our family. You can't put yourself in danger for him."
The girl said firmly:
"No, I swear I won't be a human unless I take revenge. Even if the wolf flower poison doesn't kill him, I still have Ding Chen and San Yin Lei who can die with him. If it doesn't work out, I will agree to the Yue family. I would rather be that plaything of that playboy. Revenge for grandpa."
The two middle-aged men tried to persuade her, but the girl still insisted on her own idea. Yu Zecheng withdrew his consciousness, walked out of the tent, and lurked toward them secretly. Such an enemy must be dealt with. Even if she is beautiful, even if she is a righteous person, even if she grasps the truth, as long as she is his enemy, she must disappear.
Yu Zecheng came outside the opponent's carriage. The three of them were still arguing. The beasts and ghosts rose up and lurked quietly.
