Chapter 1610: Clues to the Thousand-Eyed Stone
The carriage is driving on a country road. There are no big towns on the road to the northern forest, so the road is not wide.
"Oh Luo Luo Luo Luo, Wuyang people buy black Wuyang. Wuyang is a busy man. Wuyang works hard every day and is very kind to get a wife. Oh Luo Luo Luo..."< br>
This is a slang ditty in the countryside, singing the song of a shepherd. The rough mountain man drove four or five black sheep to the roadside, waiting for the carriage to pass by on this narrow road.
It is completely deserted here, and I can only hear the chirping of birds outside the car window. Sometimes I pass by steep cliffs on both sides, and sometimes there is a smooth road ahead.
Bimoye woke up from his sleep in the carriage. He slept for a long time before waking up. He suffered from hunger for three days at the Flower Altar and couldn't sleep well. Now that he had this peaceful time, he had to have a good sleep.
As soon as I woke up, warm sticky pancakes and bean juice were handed to me. Bimoye drank the bean juice and looked at the scenery outside the car window.
Breakfast was bought not long ago. The person selling breakfast was a villager pushing a two-wheeled cart. There were two large wooden barrels on the cart, wrapped in white gauze. One barrel contained sticky rice. Pancakes, one filled with bean juice. The villagers said that he made all the food himself and sold it in the town. Although he traveled more than ten miles back and forth, the money he earned was enough to cover the family's expenses for a few days. The life of the poor always seems to be extremely poor, but even though this is the case, they are less worldly about fame and wealth, and more simple and kind.
Bimoye drank the bean juice in one breath. He thought it was particularly delicious. He didn’t know what kind of beans it was ground from. It smelled fragrant and tasted sweet. The taste was very good in his mouth. It's really simple, without any other additives to flavor it.
The sticky cake is steamed, light pink, crystal clear, soft and sticky when you take a bite, and there is a filling in the middle. It is a filling made from sweet and sour ganmei. It is very delicious after eating it. It's an appetizer, so I want to eat the second one.
We walked like this for a few more days, and the journey was uneventful. However, the longer we walked, the more deserted the countryside became. Eventually, there were no decent roads at all. The carriages and horses traveled on gravel paths, and no one was seen for dozens of miles in front and back. Let alone a village.
After resting for the past few days, everyone just felt full of energy and couldn't exert any energy. In this wilderness and deep mountains, they just wanted to jump out of the car and yell around a few times to vent their anger. Hilal, on the other hand, was a warm and fragrant nephrite, riding in a comfortable carriage, hugging her left and right, joking and playing with her beloved wife along the way, playing chess and chatting with her teacher in her leisure time, and stopping to watch the beautiful scenery when she encountered it, looking like a tourist. The fun of playing in mountains and water.
Such a day is joyful, but also boring. The happy ones are naturally Hilal and his wife, and the boring ones are the group of people who accompany them, including Hilal and his teacher’s servants, and of course Four members of the Bloody Mercenary Group.
"It's so boring. Is there anything to do? It's too peaceful in this forest. You can't even meet any decent beasts. Hey, everyone, think of some ideas, otherwise I'm almost bored to death." Sanchi complained endlessly after getting out of the car.
“Let’s play two chess games, said Hilal’s servant.”
Sanchi looked unwilling: "Is there nothing else to do besides playing chess? I only played chess on the road, and I didn't even bring a few decks of cards. I must buy a few decks of game cards to play in the next village. "
Such boring days are really uncomfortable for mercenaries like them who used to be busy all day long. Even in the past few months, when the mercenary group was free, they still took on some small tasks. There are often trivial matters. In the past, I just felt too busy and wanted to rest for a few days, but now I want to find something to do. This is also because the journey has been too peaceful since I escorted Hilal.
Even Thain was bored and went to squat in the grass and take a look in the woods, hoping to catch some prey. At this time, everyone began to admire Iveco. He was the only one who did not complain. He meditated and practiced hard every day to cultivate his mental power. He muttered something silently from time to time, as if he was studying some magic elements.
And what about Bimoye? Bimoye didn't know what he was thinking about and sat on a stone nearby. Undine had been observing beside him for a long time. Bimoye was always thinking in the past two days and didn't tell anyone. Although she was very curious and wanted to ask Bimoye, but she was afraid of disturbing him, so after much deliberation she still didn't ask.
But no one asks, there are always people who ask. Hilal and his teacher’s two servants can still get together to talk and have fun, but the four people in the Bloody Mercenary Group are not willing to join in. lively. So Sanchi, who was really bored, knew that Bimoye didn't like to talk, so he had no choice but to come to him.
"What are you thinking about? Tell it and listen, and I will help you research it."
Bimoyer raised his eyes and saw Sanchi's face full of 'helping others', but he was actually full of expectation and hope. You can hear something that interests you.
“I’m still thinking about that day.” Bimoye said.
"That thing about the flower altar?" Sanchi scratched his head: "What's there to think about? Isn't the matter over? You are thinking hard, afraid you can still guess a stranger What's your identity?" He paused and then said, "But this is indeed a good idea to kill boredom, and you can praise it. There are only a handful of such characters in the world, who could they be?”
Bimoyer said: “It’s really difficult to guess the identity of a person who has not seen it before. That’s not what he’s thinking about, but what is he looking for?”
Sanqi thought for a while and was a little confused: "What do you mean? What are you going to say?"
Bimoyer said: "This man went through a lot of trouble to sneak into the Flower Altar, but he did not take away the treasures in the Flower Altar. I went to the treasure house privately to inquire. The 'Liquid Water Condensation Bead' hidden in the Flower God Altar was valuable. It was not an ordinary treasure. After the thing was taken by the ranger, the whole town became confused. It’s a mess. The mysterious person doesn’t even care about such things. I really can’t think of anything more important than the ‘Liquid Water Condensation Bead’.”
Sang Qi touched the beard on his chin. The scumbag said: "This is easy to understand. He is a master. Of course, such a master is not an ordinary thief. The thing he is looking for must be very important to him, and it will not be for money." And the thief."
"So I am thinking about what he wants, and maybe I can find clues to his identity from this. This person is cautious and not careless in his actions. What I want to find in such a person. You must inquire about things from many sources and act only after confirming the information. You will never look for it randomly."
Sang Qi smiled and said: "It seems that you are really interested in this person. I’m interested, and I’ll keep thinking about it. By the way, what are the characteristics of the ‘Liquid Water Condensation Bead’ you mentioned?” “The characteristic...the characteristic is that it is a solid object that looks like an irregular stone, but it is blue. It’s hard and actually a solid liquid. I heard that it can be deformed by hand, but it will return to its original shape when you let go. Also, there are many bubbles in it and they look like a lot of eyes.”
"Bubbles like eyes?" Sanqi thought for a while and seemed to think of something, but he couldn't remember it all at once. He slapped his forehead hard and thought hard. Thoughts were floating in his mind, but he could never catch them.
At this time, Iveco, who was meditating next to him, suddenly opened his eyes and said: "It's the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone!"
Sanchi was startled, and he sat on the ground and bounced up. He turned back to Iveco and said: "Wow, the deputy leader is so scary. He suddenly speaks without saying hello in advance. Do you know that scary people can scare people to death?"
Bi Moye Mei Siyi Ning: "Ten Thousand Eyes Stone."
"Yes, that's right." Sanqi said: "As soon as the deputy leader reminded me, didn't the mercenary guild have several task orders with huge bounties before? How many came here? Hmm... I can't remember. , in short, the single mission is still there, and it said that it is looking for something called a stone with ten thousand eyes. I am still thinking about why the stone is so valuable, and I thought it was someone's intention. It was created to deceive people and attract publicity. It was the most expensive mission I have ever seen. Now it seems that there may really be a Thousand-Eyed Stone. Is the mysterious man doing it for the bounty of that mission? Looking for the Thousand-Eyed Stone?"
"Or this person is the one who really seeks the Thousand-Eyed Stone," Iveco said in a deep and thoughtful tone.
Moyer has seen this single task before. Although he doesn’t know much about the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone, he seems to have the impression that he heard someone mention it when he was in the imperial capital. This impression is very weak and he can’t remember it. . However, if the mysterious man really appeared for the Thousand-Eyed Stone, it means that the Thousand-Eyed Stone is not an ordinary treasure, otherwise it would not be able to alert such a top master to take action personally. And does such a master seek the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone for money? He prefers another view, that this mysterious man is the one who really wants the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Sanchi shouted three times in a row, before Bimoye looked back and looked at him. Sanchi asked: "Why do you want to be so serious? Who is that guy with?" It doesn't matter to us, whether he is for the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone or not For the sake of the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone, that’s all his business, you don’t have to worry about it. You don’t really want to follow this clue to meet that mysterious person?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Moyer's words were very plain, as if they should be like this. He does have a strong interest in mysterious people. For him, there are many reasons for him to understand the existence of such a master. He lowered his eyes slightly and murmured: "The Thousand-Eyed Stone... wherever there is the Thousand-Eyed Stone, that mysterious man should go there. But who knows about the Thousand-Eyed Stone?"
Undine Fei watched from the side, not daring to disturb her. At the same time, she looked at the sky and thought about something.
The two lovely wives of Hilal supported their husbands and slowly came down from the high rocks on the side of the mountain. They had just looked at the beautiful scenery of the mountain and talked and laughed for a while, with their faces filled with joy. Happy smile. Natalia's sword-horned lizard, which had been raised to be fat and powerful, fell to the ground quickly and quickly.
“Come on, slow down, I’ll help you.”
The situation where it was supposed to be a man helping the lady down the mountain changed, and instead it was Hilal being supported by his wife. It was also because his two wives were each very capable, but he himself was far inferior.
I saw Bimoye coming over as soon as I got there, and Hilal asked: "See, you came to me on your own initiative. What's the matter?"
Bimoye rarely said polite words and asked bluntly: "Mr. Hilal, do you know about the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone?"
Hilalier thought about it for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, I have heard of it. . It’s a very rare fossil and it’s hard to get.”
Bimoyer asked again: “Do you have this treasure at home?”
Hilalil said with a smile. Why do you want that? No, I just I have heard it mentioned by business friends, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. However, there was something about the Thousand-Eyed Stone in Sindmoor two years ago. I only heard about it from my friends in San Bikoa at that time. , I didn’t know there was such a thing as the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone.” He smiled and said to Moye, “I don’t know how rare the Thousand Eyes Stone is, but if the Kristen family wants it, they may not be able to get it, right?”
Bimoye smiled calmly. It happened that Hilal's teacher came over at this time, listened and said, "Are you talking about the Ten Thousand Eyes Stone?"
Hilalil said 'huh': "The teacher also knows about this thing and is interested in it?"
Hilalil's teacher chuckled, stroking his beard and said with a smile: "I know this very well, that's it. I mentioned to you that the friend who came here to treat my illness used to have a Thousand Eyes Stone. I heard that it was a fossil formed by the hardening of the brain of Warcraft. Although it was fossilized, the stone on it was still there. The eyes are still alive , nothing like the eyes that lost their luster after death.”
Bimoyer’s eyes lit up and he asked quickly: “Oh! What about the Thousand Eyes Stone?”
Sheila. Lier's teacher shook his head: "I don't know about that. Anyway, she wasn't there anymore. But don't worry, young man. You can just ask her again when you get to my friend."
