Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert

Chapter 40 Wei Hai escapes for his life

"What, Duan Liangming is dead!"

Jiang Qiong was suddenly shocked. Not long ago, the old man who had gone to Yu Ling Restaurant to taste spiritual food together disappeared.

"What exactly happened?"

Jiang Qiong asked in a low voice.

"Alas, when Lao Duan was casting the relic jade box in the secret room last night, several masked monks broke in and were brutally killed."

Wei Hai's lamented words echoed in the sea of ​​​​consciousness through the sound transmission, making Jiang Qiong startled again.

"Duan Liangming was attacked and killed by gangsters when he was casting a jade box for relics?! His death was related to the jade box?"

Jiang Qiong looked shocked, and was about to ask about the details, when the transmission talisman flashed brightly.

"For the detailed story, let's go to Yuling Restaurant to talk about it." Wei Hai sighed sadly with a little fear in his tone, and asked via voice transmission: "I wonder if Brother Bai is free to go to the restaurant now?"

"I'll go over now if I have time."

Jiang Qiong took advantage of the steward of the Qin family in Lingfu Building not paying attention to her, and quickly slipped into the street and went to Yuling Restaurant.

On the road, he changed his appearance and shrank his bones, his whole body changed into Bai Ping's appearance and body shape, and all the aura in his body was restrained.

After a while

Jiang Qiong came to the door of the restaurant and glanced at the monks passing by in the surrounding streets, but did not see Wei Hai.

But a subtle sound came into his ears.

"Brother Bai, here!"

Jiang Qiong looked along the source of the sound and saw a hunched old man standing next to the restaurant. He seemed to be Wei Hai in disguise.

"Shopkeeper Wei?" Jiang Qiong subconsciously asked via voice transmission: "Why are you dressed like this?"

"Well, it's a long story. I dressed up like this mainly to escape for my life." Wei Hai sighed and said concisely: "The Jinghong Chamber of Commerce's casting of fake relic jade boxes has now been exposed."

"Last night, the weapon-refining shop was closed. I went to Chunxiao Tower to have a good time, while Lao Duan went back to his secret room to make the jade box. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, I received an anxious message from him."

"He seemed to be fighting at the time and knew that there was no hope of escape. He told me that several masked monks broke into the secret room and discovered the forgery of the relic jade box. I am afraid that this matter will soon spread throughout the Bixia Oasis, telling me to run away quickly. , hiding from the limelight and helping to take care of his illegitimate son..."

Wei Hai's eyes were sad when he spoke, and his face looked haggard and sad. He was no longer as energetic as before, and his whole person looked a little decadent.

"This……"

When Jiang Qiong heard this, her expression looked complicated.

The exposure of the Jinghong Chamber of Commerce's casting of the relic jade box is a big deal.

Goodwill accumulated for thousands of years may collapse overnight.

It was obviously not easy for several masked men to find the secret room where Duan Liangming cast the jade box.

Either they have powerful channels to find people, can target the weapon refiner who casts the jade box of the Jinghong Chamber of Commerce, and have powerful tracking methods.

Either there are forces behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiong felt sad in her heart, and couldn't help but recall Duan Liangming's heroic words at Yuling Restaurant a year ago.

"Practice is like sailing against the current. We must move forward bravely and ride the wind and waves. We must not be cautious and greedy, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve great things!"

These words are still ringing in my ears.

Looking at Duan Liangming, who has now gone west, Jiang Qiong becomes more determined in his cautious cultivation.

Secretly glad that he did not get involved in forging the relic jade box, otherwise, he would have waded into troubled waters now.

After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Qiong asked:

"What is the current situation of the other weapon refiners who made the jade boxes of the relics?"

"Alas, something happened to Lao Duan. I hurriedly contacted several weapon refiners who made the jade box, but there was no response from them all. It's scary that they all encountered unexpected events."

Wei Hai looked anxious and uneasy, looking left and right when speaking, more wary of the situation nearby.

"All the craftsmen who made the relic jade box have lost contact. It seems that the water inside is deeper than imagined."

As Jiang Qiong's thoughts were spinning, Wei Hai's subtle voice came to her ears again.

"Brother Bai, I called you here this time, mainly because I want you to do me a small favor based on our past friendship."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but ask, "What's the business?"

"I beg Brother Bai to help me buy some life-saving charms at a low price." Wei Hai sighed and said: "The manager of the Jinghong Chamber of Commerce that I got to know realized that the matter was exposed last night and decisively drew a clear line with me."

"And I have only been the shopkeeper of a weapon-refining shop for two years. Most of the acquaintances I have made are weapon-refining masters. They have all disappeared now. There is currently no way to buy spiritual talismans at low prices."

"Now, I can only count on Brother Bai to help me buy some magic talismans at a low price to escape."

The prices of spiritual talismans in various shops and treasure houses in the city are very high, and Wei Hai is currently busy preparing various means of escape, so every spiritual stone must be saved.

Therefore, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Qiong. He felt that this person could come over to activate his relationship on the day he became the shopkeeper and do "dirty things and take advantage of Jinghong Shop." , you can buy magic talismans at low prices.

Jiang Qiong thought for a while and said:

"I have two first-order low-grade water shield talismans in my hand, two first-order low-grade rock armor talismans, and one first-order mid-grade earth escape talisman."

"If Shopkeeper Wei wants it, just give me fifteen spiritual stones."

Since buying twenty-eight pieces of spirit stone materials from Yu Ling Treasure Shop a year and a half ago, Jiang Qiong has taken the time to draw six water shield talismans, six rock armor talismans and four earth escape talismans.

His original idea was to sell some of these spiritual talismans and accumulate spiritual stones.

Now that business is coming to your doorstep and it happens to be sold, the price is still relatively affordable, cheaper than the selling price of shops and treasure sales buildings, and almost the same as their purchase price. “Brother Bai is kind and righteous, I will keep this kindness in my heart.”

Wei Hai looked grateful, bowed seriously, took out the spirit stone and handed it over.

"Shopkeeper Wei, you're welcome. The business you introduced me to in the past two years has allowed me to earn some spiritual stones. Now it's just a small favor, so there's no need to give such a big gift."

Jiang Qiong reached out to support Wei Hai, but her words seemed true.

Not to mention anything else, a year and a half has passed since the end of the Artisan Masters Fair.

The two of them did "business" more than ten times in total, and each time they made about fifteen spiritual stones.

After accumulating so far, Jiang Qiong has 296 spiritual stones in his bag, most of which were earned through Wei Hai's channels to repair magical artifacts. Now it is reasonable to give him a little help.

"Shopkeeper Wei, now that you're gone, it will be very difficult for us to meet again. Why don't we go to Yuling Restaurant to taste the spiritual meal one last time?"

Jiang Qiong glanced at the restaurant next to him and asked.

"Hey, I understand Brother Bai's kindness." Wei Hai sighed and shook his head: "It's just that the situation is critical now, I have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise when the matter is completely exposed and the news spreads throughout Fangshi Oasis, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape even if I want to. Lose."

With that, he said goodbye and turned around and walked into the street.

The white snow was flying, falling slowly from the air, and gradually fell on Wei Hai's hat and shoulders. He wrapped his clothes around his body, leaving only a lonely back.

Soon, his back disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Qiong felt sad.

After standing in silence for a while, he walked into Yuling Restaurant alone, asked for a private room, and asked the attendant to serve a table of spiritual meals.

Wait until the dishes and wine are ready.

Jiang Qiong silently tasted the delicious dishes and looked at the street scene outside the window.

At this time, the scene on the streets was the same as a year ago. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, falling on the streets and alleys of the city. The ground was covered with thick snow, and the sight was completely white.

The only difference is that Wei Hai and Duan Liangming, who were sitting next to each other back then, are now running for their lives and the other is dead.

"The road to cultivation is long and dangerous. You should walk on thin ice, be cautious in your words and deeds, and cultivate steadily."

Jiang Qiong took a sip of the fine wine and expressed emotion.

Now that Wei Hai has left, Bai Ping's identity should be discarded to avoid being affected.

I simply ate a few plates of spiritual food.

I drank two jugs of fine wine.

Jiang Qiong walked out of the restaurant, revealed her true face, and walked slowly around the market.

As a result, before they had gone far, they saw more than ten aggressive casual cultivators in front of the street. They were holding a picture scroll and kept questioning the casual cultivators passing by.

The sound of their conversation came clearly.

"."

"Have you seen the five thieves on the scroll?"

"These five people, I remember, are the shopkeepers of the Jinghong Chamber of Commerce, right? Why are you looking for them?"

"Hmph, these five thieves unconscionably made fake relic jade boxes to defraud me and other family members. Naturally, we have come to settle the score with them!"

"What, the shopkeeper of the Jinghong Chamber of Commerce is selling fake relic jade boxes, is this really true?"

"Nonsense, if you don't believe me, look at the 'Image Bead' in my hand. It contains detailed records of the process of forging the fake jade box by several weapon refiners from the Jinghong Chamber of Commerce!"

"Where did you get these photo beads?"

"Hmph, don't ask about this kind of thing. Just tell me, have you seen these five thieves from the Jinghong Chamber of Commerce?"

"Never seen them."

"."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiong's spiritual energy gathered in her eyes, and she carefully scanned the scroll in the hands of the angry monk, which had portraits of five monks drawn on it.

One of them is Wei Hai.

"Deliberately creating momentum on the street."

Jiang Qiong witnessed the scene in front of her, and thinking about Wei Hai's words, she felt more and more that there was something powerful doing something secretly.

Realizing this, he did not hesitate and directly chose to take a detour.

Don't want to get into trouble.

At this moment, he is Jiang Qiong, an ordinary monk in Qin Wenzhai.

Wei Hai and Bai Ping have nothing to do with him. He doesn't know these two people at all.

But before he took two steps, Jiang Qiong noticed the transmission sound of the storage bag and it lit up again.

This time the message was a message of congratulations.

"Brother Qiong, something happened."

"The Yuling Sect has sold a batch of exercises and spells in advance, including the "Tou Ling Jue"!"
