Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 30
"Brother Pei." After being quiet for a while, Shang Lang suddenly said, "We are here to receive documents signed by Beiya and Xianrentai. Do you know what is going on?"

"..."

This is the information that Pei Ye was thinking about how to steal it quietly.

"Is this...convenient to say?"

"What's the inconvenience? That's how it is at Xianrentai. Every matter must be stamped with "handled with care" - of course I have no objection to Sister Xing Zhi."

"Besides, you're going to go into the mountains with us anyway, so you have to know if you don't want to know."

"Aren't you still going to listen to that Lord Zhu's decision?"

Shang Lang laughed: "That's the most nonsense that Sister Xing Zhi said along the way - Brother Zhu can only say 'hmm', 'ok', 'whatever' and 'listen to you'."

"Although not many people know about this matter, there is no harm in telling it." Shang Lang shook his head and suddenly whispered mysteriously, "Unlike the other matter, there was not even a document, and it was only handed over to Brother Zhu orally. , I inquired all the way and he didn’t say anything, so he doesn’t believe in my ability to keep secrets? Anyway, I guess... I’m looking for the same thing."

After getting to know each other for a long time in the future, Pei Ye would have no choice but to get used to Shang Lang's gossip, but this was the first time they met, and Pei Ye felt a little wary and apprehensive about being exposed to important confidential information.

"Let's talk about the first thing that is not interesting." Shang Lang stretched out his other hand, pointing to the distant mountains outside the window, "It is a new hexagram technique developed by Xianrentai a few years ago, from now on Monitor the birth of Xianshou. A few days ago, the hexagram instrument suddenly reacted. The hexagram explained that it was in the Xincang Mountain Range, and I was ordered to investigate and deal with it. After entering the state, I heard that the Candle World Sect was revived. We suspected that their purpose was also Xianshou, so we investigated together—you thought, since people and magic tools can be transformed into that kind of substance, Xianshou might also be able to."

Immortal hunting, this is the second time I heard this word.

Pei Ye already had guesses in his mind, so he still asked: "Brother Shang, I have little knowledge, what is Xianshou?"

"Born from Cang Ming, belled by Hou Tu, the spirit of all spirits, patrolling on behalf of the immortals." Shang Lang said, "The red bird in the south, the scorpion in the north, the Taoist crane, the water dragon in the Dongting... all the people in the world have no relatives or clans. The only miraculous creatures can be called immortal hunters."

That naturally includes... Xin Cang Shen Chi.

Pei Ye asked, "How are you going to investigate?"

Shang Lang didn't notice the young man's slightly condensed tone, and said: "All kinds of immortals have different temperaments. There are auspicious beasts like Qilin and righteous beasts like Biyan. We will naturally try our best to make friends so that they can be used by Datang; We don't bother those who are peaceful and quiet like Suanni. But sometimes there will be Taotie and Yazi who harm the living beings, so they are not called Xianshou, but Moe. When we encounter this kind of They must be eradicated immediately, otherwise they form a pact with the wicked, and there will be another bloodbath—do you know about pacts?"

"I...should know something." Pei Ye said.

Shang Lang explained with a smile: "A contract is a life-and-death contract between a person and an Immortal Hunter. It is mutually beneficial and is of great benefit to both parties. The Immortal Hunter's contract ranks among the 'Five Opportunities to Climb to Heaven' commonly said by cultivators. Third place. The reason why we are here this time is to lead the team with Brother Zhu, firstly to ensure our strength. Secondly, we came to Xianrentai and said that this immortal hunter might be suitable for Brother Zhu and let him see if he has a chance. From this point of view, this This Immortal Hunting should be good."

Pei Ye had never heard of the so-called "five great chances to ascend to heaven", but he didn't ask again, because at this time he was a little guilty, and asked in confirmation: "This Master Zhu is a swordsman?"

"correct."

"Oh... what if this Immortal Hunter has formed a contract with someone else?"

Shang Lang's smile subsided: "What do you mean?"

"It's just... a hypothesis."

"...What a strange assumption."

"Tell me."

"First of all, this hypothesis is difficult to establish, because the fairy hunter often wanders in the human world for a long time before he finds his destined person. Secondly, if it has really formed a contract with a person, we will try to bring this person back."

"Take it home for what?"

"Work for Datang."

"Well, that's fine."

Shang Lang looked at him, and suddenly frowned slightly: "How do I feel about you..."

"I have feelings." Pei Ye interrupted with a serious expression.

"What?" Shang Lang didn't react for a moment.

"Dantian." Pei Ye stretched out his right arm in front of him.

As his mind turned, the blue color in his blood vessels quickly receded, returning to his dantian, and his arms returned to their normal appearance.

"What a keen sense of Qi." Shang Lang praised, then looked at his arm and said, "Can you still dispatch them back at any time?"

"Yes, this way the power will increase a lot." Pei Ye thought, and his arms were covered with blue lines again, "The 'web' woven by the 'spider' has not been destroyed, and it can go back at any time."

"That being the case, the other three limbs and internal organs should be able to achieve this effect. But for the sake of conservatism, you should only let it enter this arm."

Pei Ye nodded and was about to say something else when the sound of running came from the courtyard. A servant stopped in front of the door and said urgently: "Pei Shaoxia, Mr. Shang, the front hall calls you two to hurry up. "

The two looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

Striding to the main hall, I heard a miserable male voice in the room saying the second part: "...we will divide into four ways, and now... now I am the only one here."

Pei Ye frowned and pushed the door open. At a glance, there was a man in civilian clothes in the hall. He was short and stocky, with rough clothes and messy hair. His skin was bronze and his face was dusty. His trouser legs were stained with dry mud. His eyes were slightly swollen. Her lips were red and very chapped, but she had no intention of drinking the tea on the side. She must have been the one who spoke just now.

The faces of the remaining three were serious, and when they saw the two entering the door, Xing Zhi was the first to say: "Shang Lang, go to collect the Longwu Army."

Shang Lang clasped his fists and turned around, Pei Ye came to Chang Zhiyuan in a daze, and Chang Zhiyuan handed over a piece of crumpled jute paper: "This is a hunter from Baizhu Village, first take a look at the paper he brought. information."

Pei Ye took it over, and the handwriting on it was slightly stained with sweat, but it was still legible:

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate: More than 20 people have been killed outside Baizhu Village because of the demonic tiger eating people. Please send [-] knights from the Hefu clan or government soldiers to help! Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!"

The last line signed in small characters is Baizhu Zheng Zhao Baishu.

After Pei Ye finished reading, she put down the letter in astonishment.

Not only Baizhu, but also Fenghuai County is almost buried in the Xincang Mountains. There are many hunters in the county, and tigers and leopards are not feared in the eyes of the people of Fenghuai County.For experienced hunters, as long as they are familiar with its habits and act cautiously, they can get a good piece of leather worth more than ten taels.

What kind of "demon tiger" can frighten Baizhu Village, which has lived in the mountains for a long time, and yet it still needs such heavy help?
Isn’t Xian Shou Black Chi?Where did this demon tiger come from?

Only then did Pei Ye realize that writing a request for help was a bit of a threshold. Shen Yanping's letter to the state must be concise and clear, clearly stating the predicament, opponent, and designated helper.

However, many details of the short note in his hand are very vague, and most of the village's situation can only be guessed.However, the village lacks manpower to investigate the case, and they don't understand the power of the prefecture and county, so it is reasonable to write it like this.

Pei Ye frowned, and Chang Zhiyuan put his arm around his wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't meddle in this trip, the chivalrous men on the list are already the most powerful force known to the common people, Zhao Baishu wrote such a request, it can be seen that he The depth of the shock."

Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "Uncle Chang..., I have a reason to go."

"...Okay." Chang Zhiyuan let go of Pei Ye's wrist and said worriedly, "In that case, I will sign a warrant, and you will appease the folks in Baizhu Village for me, and promise you to recruit local braves for deployment and stabilize the village - —Huang Er, tell Zhao Cunzheng for me, asking him to work hard to cooperate with Pei Ye. Although Pei Ye is young, he is thoughtful, brave and calm, and he is up to the task."

Pei Ye and the man both agreed.

Jing Zi stood up and said solemnly: "Since the matter is urgent, we won't delay too much. Let's set off now."
