Half fairy

Chapter 44 Underground
"Uh..." Yu Qing hesitated. If he didn't know the price of this incense, he would definitely say as much as possible. Now, he has been poor since he was a child. How long is the fire cricket going to make trouble?

Tie Miaoqing seemed to see what he was thinking, "It's okay, it's estimated according to the allowance."

Yu Qing had to hesitate: "Then buy a hundred?" I don't know if the other party is willing to spend such a large sum of money, at least for him, it must be a lot of money.

Tie Miaoqing confirmed to him, "Is one hundred enough?"

Yu Qing was not too sure, and hesitated again: "Maybe it's about the same."

Tie Miaoqing thought for a while, and said to Pick Shan Lang, who was waiting with arms folded, "I want two hundred sticks."

"Okay!" Tiishan Lang smiled happily and counted on the spot, but at the end of the count, he found that there were only about one hundred and sixty sticks of fine incense, so he had to look up embarrassedly: "This lady boss, can't you come to a branch of one hundred and sixty? I count you. One hundred and fifty sticks."

Tie Miaoqing raised his chin to show Sun Ping, and Sun Ping immediately took out the money to pay the bill, one thousand three hundred and fifty taels, and the money and goods were received.

Yu Qing, who was beside him, couldn't hide his envy when he saw Tai Shan Lang's huge collection of money.

He knows the price of burning incense too well. It is often used in Taoist temples, and it doesn't even cost a tael of silver. He actually sold it here for more than a thousand taels, making almost two thousand times, a real huge profit!

He made such a lot of money that he wanted to be a mountain picker. However, he knew that this mountain picker could not be done by anyone who wanted to do it. The key is that the threshold for entry is relatively tight, and first of all, it needs to be recognized by all parties. .For example, the person in front of him, without the approval of the demon world, how could he casually enter and leave the demon world to do business.

How can all parties recognize you if you don't know your details?If you want to be a pick-and-place leader on each family's site, you must explain your details clearly. With this alone, he, Yu Qing, can't do it. Linglongguan is restricted by the rules and cannot easily expose the secrets of this faction.

There are probably many practitioners who are saddened by this level.

Sun Ping also purchased some necessities for life here, and also bought clothes for Yu Qing and others who were not wearing coats, and then ended the transaction.

Picking Shanlang closed the shop door, got under the shop and lifted it up again, pulled the four horizontal bolts, and pulled a rope repeatedly to retract the four pillars into the pavilion, and then pushed the four horizontal bolts to block his feet. Column, and then carried the behemoth to say goodbye to everyone.

Everyone watched him swaying away, and Xu Bo couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed by someone who carries so much belongings in this barren mountain?"

Yu Qing glanced at him, "Robbery? If you can enter this trip, you have an appointment with all parties. If you dare to rob, it's okay for him to let you rob. If he is robbed on the ground of the demon world, the demon world will compensate him for everything. The corresponding loss means that you helped him sell the goods clean at one time. As for the murderer, he is too lazy to care who the murderer is, but you better not let the demon world find out who it is, otherwise you will definitely die miserably."

Sun Ping and the others looked at him when they heard the words, and found that this scholar really knew a lot about things in the arena. Can he still have the time and energy to read?

Xu Bo nodded, indicating that he had learned a lot. "Running around with such a heavy load is also hard-earned money."

"If you can afford the strength, you will naturally have the burden. If you have a low cultivation base, you can carry a smaller house. If your cultivation base is high, you will naturally carry a larger one. This person in front of you should be a Xuan-level picker. Brother Xu don't have to worry about it." Yu Qing patted him on the shoulder, and his eyes wanted to say, remember to give me my four thousand taels of silver when you arrive in the capital.

Xu Fei didn't realize it, but he still sighed because he opened his eyes, "People pick mountains, demons are thousands of miles away, and Erlang can reach the world. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Today is an insight."

'A man picks a mountain, a monster a thousand miles away, Erlang connects the world' is a common saying in the world, and everyone in the world should have heard it more or less.

People pick mountains refers to pick mountain Lang, and Yao Qianli refers to 'Qianli Lang', who is as famous as 'Tiaoshan Lang'.

Picking Shanlang is a businessman who travels between the two worlds, while Qianlilang is a messenger who can travel between the two worlds. When you want to send a letter or something, if you want to deliver it quickly, you can ask Qianlilang for help.Qianlilang is mostly a bird that has been cultivated into a demon, can fly quickly, and has special advantages that other monks do not have, and can quickly deliver the goods.

However, the price is also very considerable. You can let a demon cultivator run errands for you to deliver things for you alone.

The so-called man picks the mountain, the demon goes a thousand miles, it is the result of the compromise between the man and the demon a long time ago.

Picking Shanlang is in the hands of the human cultivator, while Qianlilang is in the hands of the demon cultivator.It's just that the delivery of letters may involve leaks, and the cost is too high. Therefore, for some official documents or secrets involving demon cultivators, the court would rather continue to use less efficient stations to deliver them.

Erlang can reach the heavens and the earth, which means that Tiaoshanlang and Qianlilang can traverse the two realms at will, and can reach any place in the sky and underground.

Yu Qing is naturally more aware of this than Xu Fei, but this is not the time to talk to him.

When things were ready, Tie Miaoqing, who was calm on the surface but impatient on the surface, was no longer willing to procrastinate. He ordered everyone to continue to set off. After asking Yu Qing what he meant, he went straight to the nearest underground cave where fire crickets were found last time.

It didn't take too long, and the road was not too far. It was the cave where Yu Qing and Tie Miaoqing met for the first time last night. It was not far from the cave where the three of them stayed overnight. Running around with two burdens.

But there was no way, Yu Qing didn't worry about these people, he had to take Xu Bo and Zong'er by his side, and didn't give these people a chance to make excuses, especially because of Cheng Shanping's existence, he always felt that the guy's eyes were a bit strange.

There are traces of last night's bonfire outside the cave. It is another scene to visit again during the day. The group did not stay, and lit a few torches and went directly into the cave.

There are obvious traces of excavation on the four walls of the cave, and the traces of the years are also obvious, and I don't know which era left it.

The underground passage is not smooth, and when encountering a big rock that is difficult to dig, it is bypassed, and the overall trend is still downward.

Going deep into the ground, the light outside was cut off, and the light of the torch in his hand did not shine far.

For Xu Fei and Chung'er, the endless darkness ahead is like a confused future. They don't know where to go. They can only take one step at a time, and they can't help themselves at all.

The two of them have been anxious all the way, and their hanging hearts can't be let go. I don't know what happened in the past two days.

When he saw the light on the other side of the ground again, Yu Qing didn't know how deep he had descended, but only guessed that he had walked a dozen miles underground.

There is a red light at the end. Before getting close, he could feel the temperature rise. After walking for a while, the insect was really uncomfortable. If the temperature was too high, it would make people feel suffocated. He, an ordinary person, had to stop. Better, but let him stay for his own good.

Tie Miaoqing asked Sun Ping to take the two back for a distance and go to a cool place to rest.

The others continued to move forward. When the red light came face to face, they were already in an underground space that was several acres of land. The red molten lava was hot and dry, dotted with small islands and undissolved bamboo shoots. Connecting up and down, there is the sound of lava bubbles gushing out from the ground from time to time.

"That's it." Tie Miaoqing pointed to a corner, "I found a fire cricket there yesterday, and we only noticed it when it got into the crack and ran away. When it lay motionless, it completely blended in with the charred rocks here. , integrated into one, it is difficult to distinguish, you have not found it, it will run away."

Yu Qing observed the environment of this space and asked, "Just one?"

Tie Miaoqing also looked up and down, "I can't be sure. The lava in it is like water and fish. There may be connections with other places under the lava. Is this fire cricket swimming here or living here all the time?" can not confirm."

Yu Qing turned back and glanced at Cheng Shanping, who was an eyesore, and said, "Let everyone else back away."

Tie Miaoqing didn't know what he was going to do, so he reached out and asked for a package that Zhu Shangbiao was carrying, and tilted his head to signal the others to follow and retreat.

Seeing that the proprietress was so obedient, Cheng Shanping snorted, but turned and left.

After there were only two people left at the scene, Tie Miaoqing asked, "What are you going to do?"

how to do?There was a whimper in Yu Qing's heart. He had never seen the environment of the land of fire and lava before. Today is the first time I saw it. Now I have discovered that the space of several acres of land adds to the rising and circulating heat and burns incense. It is useless to point one by one, and it will not last long if you point those one or two hundred incense sticks at the same time.

But he knew very well that if he couldn't give an explanation, he wouldn't want to get out easily.

Now, under the circumstances in front of him, he had no confidence in catching a fire cricket, so he had to really start thinking about ways to escape, thinking about how to escape under the eyes of these mysterious masters.

After thinking about it, considering the terrain he observed along the way, and having a plan to escape, he asked back, "I caught a fire cricket, what are you going to wear?"

Tie Miaoqing immediately took out an apple-sized tin can from the package in his hand and handed it to him: "When I came here, I specially made a few of them, which are specially used to hold fire crickets, but I don't know what they are. I don’t know what its habits are, so I put a little more work on the lid, and it can be converted into two ways with or without air holes by twisting and rotating.”

Yu Qing took it in his hand, unscrewed the lid, checked it and said, "I want two pots of water, a towel, and cut a tree for me."

The temperature in this place is high and it is easy to be thirsty. It is understandable to ask for water and a towel, but he does not understand what is going on to cut down a tree. Tie Miaoqing asked, "Why do you want a tree?"

Yu Qing said calmly: "I didn't know the environment here before. After observation, after thinking twice, I decided to build another altar."

Altar?Tie Miaoqing was suspicious and did not understand, but he did not refuse. After thinking about it, he asked, "How big is the tree, it is too long, I am afraid it will be difficult to carry it in."

Yu Qing: "It can be chopped into sections."

Tie Miaoqing didn't say anything more, turned around and left, and came back after a while, telling him, "It will take a while, toss back and forth for some time."

Yu Qing nodded, asked her for incense, put it on his back, took out one, walked to the hot lava lake, squatted against the scorching high temperature, and lit it on the red molten lava, the incense head instantly Smoking lit.

He got up and held incense in both hands, with a pious look on his face. He seemed to be worshipping the gods, but in fact he was staring at the incense to observe the movement of the smoke. After a while, he knew that the air in the ground was not circulating.

When Tie Miaoqing saw that he was in a state of mind again, he held his breath and did not dare to disturb him.

After a while, taking advantage of the time it took for the trees to arrive, Yu Qing began to jump up and down on the island of the lava lake under the high temperature, began to observe the terrain in detail, and prepared for his upcoming plan.
