Chapter 34 Investigation
The three rules of assassins: the enemy is bright and we are dark, the enemy is weak and we are strong, the enemy is stupid and we are wise...
In your first assassination mission, you should naturally be cautious and know yourself and your enemy.
So early the next morning, the three of them divided into three groups and started investigating!
Zhu Biao is the leader of Blackstone Village, and Blackstone Village is behind this wealthy town. Obviously the people in Fugui Town know a lot about the Zhu Village Master.
Zhuo Bufan transformed into a wanderer and wandered the streets of Fugui Town.
"Create your own technique! Can I really do it?"
As he walked, Zhuo Bufan couldn't help but think of what Mo Qiu had said to him.
If you don’t have a Kung Fu, create your own Kung Fu!
Now his body of life and death is different from the body of ordinary people.
Whether it is the internal organs, meridians, or even the bones, they are somewhat different.
The only thing that is the same may be that there is no huge change in the appearance of the human body.
Because of the different meridians, there is no suitable method for Zhuo Bufan to practice. Now he has no choice but to create his own path.
"Why don't you try taking a spiral pill?"
Zhuo Bufan grabbed the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, and black death energy began to gather in the palm of his right hand.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not spin the flame-like black energy in his palm.
I tried to take the spiral pill, but failed!
"Let's do some turtle style qigong!"
Zhuo Bufan was poisoned by the animation. When he tried to release a certain turtle qigong, he only produced a wisp of black smoke.
Pedestrians on the road looked at him like an idiot.
Zhuo Bufan slapped his forehead with his palm and said speechlessly: "Damn, I'm suffering from the chuunibyou."
"No, no, if you want to create your own martial arts, you must first understand your own constitution and meridians. This matter cannot be rushed. For now, we can only rely on the talisman and the Thousand Evil Sword to fight."
Speaking of Thousand Evil Sword, Zhuo Bufan suddenly remembered something.
He summoned the Thousand Evil Sword from Najie, then held it in his hand, recalling the feeling when he split Peng Cheng open before.
"The power of the sword at that time was indeed terrifying. Is it true what the profiteer said? It was an evil sword that relied on devouring the user's life energy to exert its power?"
Zhuo Bufan looked at the broken sword in his hand. It was not a talisman and did not require any power to drive it.
In other words, it is not the user who chooses it, but it chooses the user. Zhuo Bufan is passive and he likes to be passive.
…
"Douhua, we sell douhua! Freshly ground tofu pudding. Little brother, would you like a bowl of tofu pudding?"
Zhuo Bufan was thinking when suddenly an aunt stood in front of him with a bowl of bean curd.
"Douhua? There are still such things for sale in this world!"
Seeing Douhua, Zhuo Bufan suddenly felt friendly.
"Bring me a bowl!"
He was invited by his aunt to sit under the temporary shed, and then a bowl of delicious bean curd was placed in front of him. There is also a pile of hot sauce ingredients next to the bean curd.
"Really tofu pudding? And it's more delicious than any bowl of tofu pudding I've ever had before. Have another bowl!"
Zhuo Bufan became addicted to it and ate three bowls in a row. If his stomach hadn't become much smaller now, he would have no problem eating ten bowls.
"Little brother, is Auntie's tofu delicious?" Auntie saw Zhuo Bufan finish eating and looked at him with a smile.
"Um, aunt, don't ask me in such misleading terms. But your tofu pudding is indeed delicious."
"Of course, we grind it freshly. You see, my husband has been grinding bean curd for more than 20 years."
The aunt pointed to a man grinding bean paste and said.
He was working hard to push the huge stone mill in front of him. The two huge round grinders bite together and easily crush the hard soybeans into powder.
For a moment, an idea suddenly flashed in Zhuo Bufan's mind. But it was just a fleeting moment.
"Thank you for the hospitality. Let's collect the bill!" Zhuo Bufan said with a smile.
"Okay, you've eaten three bowls in total, so let's get thirty taels of spirit stones!" The aunt said to Zhuo Bufan with a smile.
"Damn, thirty taels, so expensive?" Zhuo Bufan said blankly.
He has figured out the exchange rate in this world in the past few days. In this world of immortal cultivation, one spirit stone is worth one tael, and this one spirit stone is almost equivalent to the purchasing power of ten yuan.
In other words, these three bowls of bean curd were sold to Zhuo Bufan for 300 yuan. It's no wonder that Zhuo Bufan swears.
"Little brother, this is expensive. These soybeans are cultivated with spiritual water. One bite is equivalent to absorbing the spiritual power of one spiritual stone. This bowl is worth ten spiritual stones, which is very fair."
Looking at the aunt's elegant yet polite smile, Zhuo Bufan knew that he had been cheated.
"Clang!"
Zhuo Bufan put the Thousand Evil Sword in his hand on the table, then looked at the lady with a wicked smile and said.
"Haha, do you think I look like a foreigner, so you deliberately lied to me?"
"In Huoyun City, this bowl of tofu pudding can only be sold for one spiritual stone at most. You want to sell me ten. Believe it or not, I will demolish your shabby shop?"
The other party smiled gently yet politely, while Zhuo Bufan smiled politely yet evilly.
When the other party saw Zhuo Bufan's malicious smile, he was so frightened that he stepped back.
"You, are you a cultivator?"
"How dare you lie to me even if I know that?" Zhuo Bufan raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at the lady.
This world is full of pits, so Zhuo Bufan knew it was a pit, so he couldn't jump into it.
When the couple heard this, they were so frightened that they knelt down towards Zhuo Bufan.
"Little brother, no, no, no, Daxian, we were wrong. We really didn't mean to lie to you."
"It's all the fault of the vicious bandits on Wild Boar Mountain. Tomorrow is the end of the month. Then they will go down the mountain and collect patronage fees from door to door."
"Every household has to pay a support fee of one thousand taels. If we fail to pay, we will be killed. We really have no choice, so we do such a shameless thing."
"Great Immortal, I don't want your three bowls of beancurd spiritual stones. Please be generous and show mercy."
Seeing the lady sincerely admitting her mistake, Zhuo Bufan said.
"Get up, are the villains on Wild Boar Mountain you are talking about the Black Stone Village?"
"Yes, yes, those are the bandits in Black Rock Village. They occupy the mountain and are domineering, killing people and setting fires. They do all kinds of evil."
"Originally, our Fugui Town was a prosperous and peaceful town. Ever since those bandits came to Yeboar Mountain and took over the mountain as kings, we had to pay tribute every month to ensure peace."
After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan touched his chin and said, "Then why don't you ask the experts to wipe out the bandits in Black Stone Village?"
When the couple heard this, they quickly said.
"We have invited, we have invited many immortal cultivators to help annihilate Black Stone Village. But most of these people never come back. Some people even become complicit in the Black Stone Village."
"Collaborating?" Zhuo Bufan said blankly, he really wanted to find out some interesting information.
"Yes, we once asked an expert from the Qixia Sect, who is fifty miles away from here, to help eliminate the bandits. As a result, after the expert entered Yezhu Mountain, he was bribed by the village owner."
"He collected our spiritual stones and the spiritual stones from Black Stone Village, and then left without doing anything."
"In the end, in desperation, everyone in our town raised the last sum of money and posted a reward at the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers. But so far, no one from the Four Seasons Mountains and Rivers has come to eradicate the evil bandit for us."
After hearing what the aunt said, Zhuo Bufan chuckled and said nothing more. He only left three spirit stones and then turned around and left.
"It seems that the water in Blackstone Village is very deep. Can this task really be easily solved?"
Zhuo Bufan felt a little worried in his heart.
