My wife is a sword god

Chapter 32 Black Mist Forest

As the two were walking on the road, Lan Ningshuang suddenly asked, "Mostly, the task of killing demons is to eradicate demons and goblins to protect the safety of the people. Why didn't I know that they also accept the task of guarding?"

"You don't know that Jinyang City is a small city, and the salary given by the Dagan Dynasty is not too much. If they fail to eradicate the demons and goblins, they will have no extra income, and the monthly tribute may not be enough for their cultivation.

Therefore, the Si Zheng here is the Shi Ziming you met last time, allowing his subordinates to accept tasks from ordinary people, earn some extra money, and subsidize his own use. "Qin Feng explained slowly.

"I see." Lan Ningshuang nodded. As the sword servant of the Liu family, she has never worried about money. The medicinal baths and blood energy pills necessary for cultivation are also very sufficient, so she doesn't know about it.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to a four-way compound, and this is where the Jinyang City Demon Slayer is located.

Beside the gate of the Demon Slayer, there is a wooden railing covered with white paper, and most of the papers are about tasks issued by ordinary people and their rewards.

There are many strange things in it, such as helping to find the rhubarb lost at home, or my husband's night visits to the brothel, begging the master who kills the demon to capture him, if he can interrupt one of his breaks, the reward will be doubled.
And so on, everywhere.

However, a noble family like the Qin family doesn't need to post missions here, they can go in and find people directly.

Qin Feng took Lan Ningshuang into the house. Except for some people who were practicing, most of the people inside were doing nothing. It seemed that even the ghosts and ghosts didn't bother to patronize Jinyang City, a place where no birds shit.

Last time, if the ghost cultivator didn't want to kill himself, he probably wouldn't want to come to such a place
Qin Feng found a grey-haired old man in the room. He is the secretary here. If you want to hire someone to be a guard, it is the most efficient to ask him.

"Isn't this Mr. Qin? I saw your father before dawn today. Why, what's the matter with coming to see the old man?"

"I'm going to the Black Mist Forest twenty miles away, and I need to hire a guard."

"Black Mist Forest?" The old man was shocked, and the demon slayers around him also looked sideways when they heard these three words, with a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.

No wonder they have this reaction. The Black Mist Forest is not a good place. It is said that every night, when the moonlight shines into the Black Mist Forest, there will be a black mist that will cover the field of vision, which is why the word "Black Mist Forest" comes from.

But if it's just like this, it won't change the color of these people.

Most importantly, there are unusual monsters in the Black Mist Forest!

It is often heard that when mountain villagers cut firewood, passing through the outskirts of the Black Mist Forest, they could often hear terrifying roars, and at that time, the entire mountain forest would tremble, and the birds and beasts would startle and run around.

To be able to make such a big commotion, one doesn't need to think about how terrifying the monsters in the forest are.

Some people even speculated that the monster might have reached the robbing power of the fourth turn and had awakened its natal supernatural powers twice. If anyone strayed into the forest and met it, they would surely die!
Over time, this black mist forest has also become the default forbidden place for everyone.

"Young master Qin, what are you going to do in such a fierce place?"

Qin Feng replied with a smile: "It's not that I went deep into the mountains and forests, and I don't think my life is too long. I went this time just to pick some fruits on the outskirts of the Black Mist Forest.

I know that this will still be a little dangerous, so I am willing to pay ten taels of silver as a reward. "

That's right, Qin Feng's purpose this time is to pick the last key ingredient of hot pot, a fruit called vermilion fruit.

It is recorded in "Dagan Baicaolu" that there is a red thumb-shaped fruit on the periphery of the black mist forest. It was born in May and June and died at the end of November. It tastes spicy and hard to swallow. It is named because of its bright red color. Vermilion fruit.

And this thing is the familiar pepper in the previous life!
Ten taels of silver is already a lot, but a Blood Qi Pill is only five taels of silver. Qin Feng thought that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, but these demon-slayers seem to be more cowardly than he originally expected.
Just as everyone looked at each other in silence, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears: "I have accepted this task."

Qin Feng searched for his reputation, and couldn't help being a little surprised, because it was Cang Feilan who came!

"Why didn't you go to listen to Yuxuan yesterday." Before Qin Feng came to say hello, Cang Feilan made the first move, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in her tone.

"Just got married, there are too many things at home, so I didn't go to listen to Yuxuan."

Cang Feilan was silent for a moment when she heard the words, turned her head to look at Lan Ningshuang, looked up and down, and frowned slightly.

But for some reason, when she saw the other's chest, her frown slowly relaxed, and this slight change made Lan Ningshuang feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"This is your wife?" Cang Feilan asked.

Before Qin Feng could answer, Lan Ningshuang immediately replied, "I am the lady's sword servant, Lan Ningshuang, responsible for guarding the safety of my uncle. Who are you?"

"Monster Slayer Cang Feilan." His tone was as flat as a pool of autumn water, without any waves.

Lan Ningshuang turned her head to look at Qin Feng, her eyes seemed to be asking about the relationship between the two.

"My friend." Qin Feng answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Cang Feilan also looked at Qin Feng, her light blue eyes reflected the other's face, she didn't know what she was thinking, Qin Feng's little heart trembled inexplicably, and she always felt that she had said something wrong.
"Let's go, while it's still early, maybe we can rush back to Jinyang City before dark." Cang Feilan turned and left.

Qin Feng followed closely and stood shoulder to shoulder with the former.

Seeing this scene, Lan Ningshuang followed along thoughtfully.

The gray-haired old man was still curious as to why Miss Cang, who never took out missions, would accept such missions, when a crunching sound suddenly sounded in his ear, which instantly startled him.

Turning his head, he saw that it was Shi Ziming holding a plate of peanuts, chewing and drinking.

"Master Sizheng, when did you come?"

"When the good show was on, I was there, but I didn't show up." Shi Ziming replied inarticulately.

"Good show, what good show?" The old man was puzzled.

"Hey, I don't have any eyesight." Shi Ziming didn't say anything clearly, and left leisurely with the peanuts in his hands, leaving only the gray-haired old man with a puzzled expression.

On the other side, the City Lord's Mansion of Jinyang City.

One of them hurried into the house and reported to Ye Heng: "Report to the city lord, Qin Feng, the young master of the Qin family, who stepped out of Jinyang City with two girls not long ago, intending to go to the Black Mist Forest!"

Ye Heng's eyes lit up when he heard that, it would not be surprising for anyone to die in such a fierce place as the Black Mist Forest.
"I was worried that I would not have the opportunity to show my loyalty to the Tang family, but this kid actually sent me to my door, Luoting!"

"The child is here."

"Go and tell Lord Wang about this!"

Ye Luoting heard the words and left in a hurry.

Ye Heng narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer: "If we can kill that kid secretly and give his head as a gift to Mr. Tang, our Ye family will enter Fengtian City just around the corner!"
