Fairy Desire

"Feng'er, you're back?" The middle-aged man smiled pleasantly, and greeted him, and Qi Rong also followed.

"Yes, Dad. I'm back."

The middle-aged man sized up the young man, gradually revealed his doubts, and asked, "Feng'er, didn't you follow your master to participate in this session of the Dragon Gate Conference? Why did you come back so soon? "

"Father, don't worry." The young man seems to know what the middle-aged man is worried about, "I have almost reached the Great Consummation of Qi Refining, and I have no problem entering the Immortal Gate. I am coming back this time mainly to help Master do one thing .If I do well, Master will speak good words for me in front of the elders of the teacher's school, so that I can get better treatment when I enter the teacher's school."

"Do things for your master? Is it dangerous?"

"Father, you don't have to worry. When I came back, the master told me that what he asked me to do was not too dangerous. What's more, the master gave me a protective treasure, even if I encounter danger I can get away with it all."

"I'm relieved now. Oh, right. What exactly did your master ask you to do?"

"I do not know either."

"You don't know either?"

"Yes. The master gave me a picture, and asked me to follow the picture and search carefully for the places marked on the picture, find out all the valuable things in it, and then hand it over to the old man."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple." As the young man spoke, he took out a small silk-wrapped package from his bosom, unfolded it, and inside was a piece of animal skin with a simple picture drawn on it, right in the middle of the picture. There is a little red dot on it.

After the young man spread the animal skin on the table, the middle-aged man and Qi Rong walked over to carefully observe the pictures on the animal skin.After about ten breaths, the middle-aged man and Qi Rong exclaimed almost at the same time: "Fuck Valley?"

The young man showed a joyful smile and asked, "Father, Grandpa Rong, have you seen the place on the picture?"

Qi Rong wondered: "Little master, didn't your master tell you where the place is marked on the map?"

"No." The young man shook his head. "Master seemed to be in a hurry and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he gave me this map and said it was near our Ironwood City. I asked me to find it myself. It was right." One of my tests."

As he said that, the young man raised his head and asked curiously, "Father, Grandpa Rong, where is the Valley of Heaven? I think you all seemed quite surprised just now."

Qi Rong stroked the white beard on his chin, and said: "Little master, the ** Valley is a famous dangerous place within a thousand miles of our Ironwood City. Speaking of..."

Just when Qi Rong was about to continue talking, the middle-aged man waved his hand and interrupted him, saying: "Uncle Rong, we will talk to Feng'er about the matter of ** Valley later. Our immediate priority now is how to deal with that surname outside." Meng's boy and his companions, if it takes a long time, he is afraid that they will become suspicious."

Having said that, the middle-aged man paused, turned his gaze to the young man, and asked, "Feng'er, you said just now that you have a way to deal with that boy surnamed Meng, what exactly do you have?"

"Father, my solution is actually very simple, that is, let me teach him a good lesson. I don't believe that a bumpkin from the countryside can do anything." The young man showed a proud look.

"Feng'er, don't underestimate the enemy. Your Grandpa Rong is..."

Seeing the middle-aged man's face darken, Qi Rong hurriedly gave him a wink: "Master, you can let the little master try it. Even if he loses to that boy surnamed Meng, he has the treasure that his master gave him." For body protection, there is no danger in thinking about it."

After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man's expression softened, and he said, "Feng'er, you go to fight the surnamed Meng, and I will stop you. But first, you can't do anything in the city, and second, you can't reveal your identity. If you Promise these two, and I will let you move freely."

The young man thought for a while and replied, "Okay. Dad, I promise you."

"Feng'er, you stay here now, I'll go meet that boy surnamed Meng for a while." After speaking, the middle-aged man walked out of the Bajiao Pavilion.

When he was about to leave the pavilion, he seemed to think of something again, and he turned his head and told the young man: "Feng'er, if you defeat that boy surnamed Meng, remember that you can only injure him, never kill him." He. Keep him, I'm still useful."

When the sun turned slightly to the west, Meng Xiang and Yan walked out of the City Lord's Mansion accompanied by Qi Rong.The faces of both of them were slightly red, obviously they did not drink less at the banquet not long ago.

After bidding farewell to Qi Rong, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi quickly left the City Lord's Mansion.Turning a street corner, Yan Shi's footsteps slowed down a little. Looking at Meng Xiang whose red face was fading rapidly, he asked, "Brother Meng, what does this city lord want to do? Not only did he not blame us for the murder, And he didn't say anything. Did he really just want to buy us drinks?"

"Shitou, those so-called big men like to beat around the bush. If they tell their purpose all at once, it will appear too incompetent. But don't worry, sooner or later his fox tail will be revealed." Meng Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a mocking look on his face.

Not long after, the two turned into a street that was not very spacious but quite lively.There are people coming and going on the street. Judging from their clothes, many of them are hunters who make a living by hunting.

Both sides of the street are filled with all kinds of shops, including restaurants, hotels, weapons shops, medical clinics, cloth shops, clothing stores, bathhouses, etc. Yan Shi, who saw such a bustling scene for the first time, was dazzled. Some straight.

Meng Xiang walked into the street with Yan Shi, seemingly without any destination, walking slowly forward with the flow of people, stopping from time to time to take a look at the excitement.After walking for about two miles, he left the middle of the street and walked towards a small three-story building on the side of the road.

The small building is a wooden structure, brownish yellow, painted very brightly with lacquer, and has an impetuous air.On the lintel of the first floor, there is a plaque with gold letters on a blue background, with three big characters written on it - Baizhen Building.

"Baizhen Building?" Yan Shi looked up at the plaque, "Brother Meng, are all the rare treasures sold here?"

"Shitou, don't be fooled by the tricks of these merchants, it's just exaggeration. What Baizhen Building? It's just a bigger grocery store at most." Said, Meng Xiang took the lead into the building.

In the following time, Meng Xiang's words were confirmed. The Baizhen Building was indeed a vain name. After turning around a few times, Yan Shi did not find anything that could be called a treasure.And Meng Xiang himself didn't mean to buy any treasures, but just bought a bunch of very ordinary things, such as compass, tent, raincoat, bandages, wound medicine and so on.

After the buddy packed the things, Meng Xiang paid the money, and handed him a small oblate thing that was twice as big as the mouth of the wine glass. There was also a thin metal chain attached to it, and the other part of the chain One end is a small clip, which should be fixed.

Yan Shi looked at it again and again, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Meng, what is this?"

"This is the pointer pocket watch I told you that can accurately display the time." As he spoke, Meng Xiang lightly pressed a small bump on the edge of the pointer pocket watch, and with a snap, the cover jumped open, revealing A disc with some numbers engraved on it, and three pointers of different lengths and thicknesses moving at different speeds in the middle, making a light clicking sound.

Meng Xiang pointed to the disc and said: "This thick and short pointer is called the hour hand, and every time it moves a large division, it is an hour, which is half an hour; this slightly thinner but longer pointer is called the hour hand." The minute hand, each small division of it represents 1 minute, which is one-sixtieth of an hour, and one-hundredth of an hour; and the thin, long and fast-moving pointer is the second hand, and it takes 120 minute to move a circle. That's sixty strokes, that's one minute, it..."

Yan Shi was still a little uncomfortable at first, but under Meng Xiang's explanation, he quickly understood the principle of the pointer pocket watch. After being corrected by Meng Xiang, he could already report the time accurately: Afternoon 45:[-].

Afterwards, Meng Xiang and Yan Shi visited several shops one after another, and bought everything for hunting in the wild, such as bows and arrows, insect repellent powder, skinning knives, ropes, dry food, water bottles, etc. A huge burden.

At this time, Yan Shi took out the pointer pocket watch, and the time displayed on it was already [-]:[-].Meng Xiang didn't stop after he knew the time, and led him through several streets to a remote place where he could smell feces from a distance.

Taking a closer look, Yan Shi found that it was a place where various livestock were traded, including ordinary cattle and horses, as well as various large wild animals that had been captured or trained.

After some selection, Meng Xiang bought four Bactrian camels for 700 taels of silver.The Bactrian Flying Camel is an essential tool for advanced hunters in Ironwood City. Not only does it have good stamina, it is good at running, and it is easy to raise. It also has a strong load-bearing capacity. Each Bactrian Flying Camel can easily carry tens of thousands of people. catties.

The most important thing is that it also has some peculiarities, which are very helpful to hunters. It can find drinking water sources from a long distance, and it can sense before the arrival of severe weather such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and heavy rains. , let the master prepare in advance.

Everything is ready and the time is already 06:30 in the evening.Meng Xiang and Yan Shi came to a large hotel with both board and lodging——Hong Bin Building, had a hasty dinner, and then went to rest after the staff took good care of the four Bactrian camels.

Before going to bed, Yan Shi asked Meng Xiang a question: "Brother Meng, didn't you say you need to find a place to stay first? Why are we in such a hurry to go hunting?"

Meng Xiang closed his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "If we don't leave the city, won't some people wait in a hurry?" After that, he closed the door directly without explaining to Yan Shi.
