Chapter 73 72. The last chance (3.8K words - please subscribe)
In the depth of winter, the sky becomes dark early.
After locking the shadow puppet xuan, Song Yan walked on the mountain path of Paper Man Peak.
The wind is cold, and the mountain shadows are falling quickly with the setting sun. Large shadows are blowing in the face with the biting air. From time to time, there are carrion vultures and crows wandering on the dead branches, making strange sounds. The cry.
The little lady with jade makeup lowered her hands and followed Song Yan, holding a small bag of fragrant wood swaying in her hand. The scent of the fragrant wood after burning is very good and can calm the mind. She is I got contribution points from Song Yan and exchanged them at the Paper Money Building on the main peak.
The Paper Money Building, to put it bluntly, is the "Finance Department" and "Basic Item Exchange Office" of Paper Man Peak.
At this time, there were many disciples lined up in front of the Paper Money Building. The one at the front was showing his identity plate and talking to the steward at the window about "exchanging mystical jade and other items." The disciples behind him were still urging. With.
“What a long queue.” The young lady sighed with emotion, and then said, “Do you want to change the master today? I will help you queue up. You can wait in line for as long as you want!”
“Brother Dao, It's Brother Dao," Song Yan corrected.
The little lady nodded repeatedly and agreed: "Okay, Master."
Song Yan raised his hand and flicked the little lady's head lightly.
The little lady suddenly burst into tears.
However, Song Yan already knew what she was going to say and said: "You did nothing wrong. It's late today and we won't be able to queue up. Let's wait until there are fewer people in the queue and come back in two days."< br>
“Yes, Brother Tao.”
The late return of his companions gave Song Yan a rare sense of warmth.
Although he knows that this kind of emotion should not exist, because separation, even life and death, is the destined ending for him and every woman around him.
“It’s too cold.”
He rubbed his hands.
The little lady hurried over and said, "Brother Tao, I'm warm."
Dong.
Song Yan gave her another headache.
The brain collapse triggered the "rules", and the little lady's eyes began to turn red again.
Song Yan was already very familiar with this, and promptly said: "You didn't make a mistake."
"Oh." The little lady recovered again.
Song Yan couldn't help but laugh.
The two of them talked as they walked and reached the cliff.
Song Yan squeezed the sword secret, and the flying sword turned into a rainbow, leading the two of them to fly down in front of the cave.
After a busy period, I took off my belt and went to do double cultivation
After the cultivation was completed, the little lady with jade makeup lay in Song Yan's arms and said in surprise: "Master, Seeing that other furnaces are half-dead and weak, the slave family is still recovering after you picked them up."
She herself couldn't find a word to describe how comfortable she felt at this time.
Song Yan said: "That's the effect of the elixir. If anyone wants to talk to you, don't talk about your situation."
The little lady with jade makeup nodded heavily, then moved her body, wearing silky and sexy clothes It changed and formed some attractive folds. She tentatively moved her hips back, settled into a position that made the owner very comfortable, and began to sleep.
Soon, her breathing became even.
Song Yan did not fall asleep.
The bodyless phantom crow has been flying in the wilderness, carrying the extremely important "trophy" on it. How can he sleep?
He had too much on his mind.
‘I don’t know whether the Thorn Fox Alliance has succeeded or what happened to Mr. Su San and the others. ’
‘Forget it, no matter what, Hua Rong’s line with them is broken. ’
‘On the other hand, that colorful black shadow, even if it is far inferior to Grandma Fox, can be hidden quietly by Grandma Fox, so it shouldn’t be an ordinary monster, right?
Its blood should be able to barely help me step into the Jiang Palace realm.
Although the effect may be average, if you can improve your realm, you should improve it first.
But I don’t know what will happen after Jianggong breaks through, and whether my Qi gathering method will be directly ineffective. If so, it will be a big trouble.
I need to know a little more.
If possible, I have to prepare better hiding methods in advance, as well as find some techniques, spells and so on after the Jianggong realm.
Of course, I can use longevity to deduce.
But trying to deduce a skill from scratch would take too much effort and might not be successful.
It would be best to have it ready-made. ’
‘Hantan Valley Market is my opportunity. ’
‘On that day, there will be many monks going there, a mixed crowd, and many of them may not even show their true appearance to others. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
There should be anonymous auctions, mask exchanges, etc.
At that time, I can try to control the shadow puppet to trade. '
"I need to buy a new flying sword, a more profound Qi gathering spell, all the news about Jianggong realm, techniques, and spells."
"Also , Nanwu Jianmen will definitely come to me, and I will complete the first contact with them by then.
This is quite easy to handle.
I have talked so much with Mr. Su San, and I already know a lot about Nanwu Jianmen, Su Changyi, and the Su family. Far better than before, you should be able to pass.”
'However, the most important thing is that all my fox demon shadow puppets are used up. I have to find another opportunity to hunt at least one before opening the Hantan Valley Market, and then make a new one. ’
The next day, Song Yan opened the door of the shadow puppet studio, and there was a row of shadow puppet trucks flying towards the ground outside.
Shadow puppet vehicles, such as cars, empty boats, etc., are not in the "leather making category", but "shadow puppet secondary processing products", and the "peak of secondary processing" is the "organ peak" ".
Shizuo Weng should know about this matter, but Shizuo Weng may have thought that this matter had nothing to do with the mantle, so he never talked to him.
After Shizuo Weng left, Gu Huangzi probably felt that Song Yan only needed to make leather, and there was no need to know these "superfluous" knowledge, so he didn't let him know.
The shadow puppet car carried corpses one after another.
Looking at the appearance, they are all newly-dead handymen.
This brought back some memories of Song Yan.
Before, when he was working in the Nanzhufeng Leatherworking House, anyone who died nearby would be taken away by car.
For mortals, there are still seven days left after death, and seven days are enough for the Puppet Sect to do a lot of dirty work.
He is really a person who lives as a Puppet Sect and dies as a ghost of the Puppet Sect.
Song Yan sighed with emotion and was about to do today's work when he saw the last shadow puppet truck parked at the gate of the Shadow Puppet Xiaoxuan.
The disciple who was driving the chariot turned over and said with a fist in his hand: "Master Song, there is a batch of new skins. The sect master wants to ask you if you can make them."
Song Yan asked curiously: "What new ones are there? Skin? "
The chariot-riding disciple lifted up the thick cloth.
Song Yan's pupils narrowed slightly.
What a coincidence, what was on the car was actually pieces of bloody "one-tailed fox demon skins".
The Chariot Disciple said: "They are all hunted by our brothers in recent days.
However, the strength of these fox monsters is uneven, some are still at the level of intermediate monsters, and some are still at the level of intermediate monsters. It's already advanced. Master Song, can you do it? If you can, I'll leave it here."
Song Yan's thoughts were like lightning. Test?
No.
And "a fox demon skin" is indeed what he urgently needs. If he "makes a fox demon shadow puppet and hides a fox demon shadow puppet" like before, he will still be unaware of it. .
But
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I'll try!"
The chariot-riding disciple smiled and said: "I know that a leather-making genius like Master Song will not refuse."
Song Yan nodded with a smile, staring at the car's leather with ardent eyes, and waited until it was unloaded. , he quickly cleaned it, then specially selected a "shadow puppet of a demon fox similar to a high-level demon beast", and started making it with great interest.
Evening time.
The scream of the little lady with jade makeup suddenly came from the shadow puppet xuan.
Then it became a mess.
Song Yan's two disciples hurriedly ran out and quickly looked for the elder who was on duty today. When the elder arrived at the shadow puppet xuan, many people had already gathered outside the xuan.
The elder stepped in and saw Song Yan lying on the inside of Xiaoxuan with a face like gold paper, weak and weak.
“What’s going on?” The elder was anxious and frightened.
He knew the role of Song Yan. At this time, the "middleman who contacted the Puppet Sect and the Nanwu Jianmen" must not cause trouble, otherwise if a bad signal was sent, it would ruin the matter.
The little lady with jade makeup cried and said: "The master was making shadow puppets. As he was doing it, he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. Then the master rushed out of the room that was usually used to summon spirits, and locked the door. Then it became like this.”
The elder looked up again and saw Song Yan opening his eyes and saying in a hoarse and weak voice: "Don't open the door."
The elder narrowed his eyes, rebuked the disciple, and then opened the soul-calling door.
As soon as the door opened, a black shadow swooped in.
The elder raised his hand and grabbed it, clasping the black shadow with his sharp fingers and claws, and then crushed it.
Looking again, I saw a broken shadow puppet of a demon fox.
The elder understood immediately.
Master Song couldn't make a "demon fox shadow puppet" yet, so he was bitten back. However, it seemed that he was bitten as soon as he summoned the soul, so the shadow puppet with the evil spirit was not very powerful.
After dealing with the trouble, the elder came to Song Yan.
Song Yan said weakly: "I have nothing to do, just take a rest."
The elder said: "You, don't be brave if you can't do it."
Song Yan fell silent.
The elder said: "That batch of fox skins is a material specially ordered by the sect leader and will be used in the subsequent war. I will come and have someone take it away later. Just leave it alone."
" Take it away?" Song Yan said hoarsely, with a bit of unwillingness in his eyes, "Where to take it? Are you going?"
The elder smiled and said: "I have good news for you. Although Master Shi has not yet broken through the Jianggong realm, he has successfully renewed his life, but he cannot leave this evil place. The fox skin was sent to him and asked to be made.
Now that we are allied with the ghost cultivator, he will do it for us. "
The unwillingness in Song Yan's eyes disappeared, and he sighed: "If it is a teacher, there must be a teacher who is much better than me. "
The elder said: "You don't have to belittle yourself, you are still young.
Have a good rest first, and then come back to leathermaking when you are well. ”
Soon, the elder left.
After a while, another disciple pulled the empty shadow puppet truck and took all the fox demon skins away from the shadow puppet xuan.
Song Yan watched the truck leave quietly.
He thought of Grandma Fox, and thought of himself taking out a handful from Grandma Fox's "little treasury".
Although he didn’t know whether “this handful” was serious or not, he felt that at this time, it was not auspicious to make a “shadow puppet of a fox demon”.
In the next few days, Song Yan was recovering from his injuries in the cave, and sometimes he would wander around the surrounding mountains alone.
Using this time, he found an opportunity and was lucky enough to hunt down a demon fox that was similar to a high-level demon beast, and then made a "Shadow Shadow Puppet with Abnormal Soul".
Two days later, Song Yan "recovered".
We returned to the main peak of Paper Man Peak.
At this time, there were very few disciples exchanging Xuan Yu in front of the Paper Money Building. Song Yan walked over directly, showed his identity plate, and said: "Exchange them all for Xuan Jade."
When the disciple saw it, his eyes widened.
"All the more than 256,000 contribution points have been exchanged?"
"Replaced."
"Then I'd better exchange the Xuanjing for you, Master Song.
One piece of Xuan Jing, ten pieces of small Xuan Jade, and five pieces of big Xuan Jade. ”
"Okay."
Song Yan still understands this basic exchange ratio.
Small Xuan Jade can provide 1 year of normal Cave Cultivation Xuan Qi even in places without Xuan Qi, and can also serve as an additional supply of Xuan Qi during Cave Cultivation.
Daxuanyu 2 years.
Xuan Jing, it is 10 years.
You may have to weigh yourself outside, but the Puppet Sect has standards.
The disciples of Zhiqianlou murmured calculations: "Two hundred and fifty-six thousand, four hundred and eighty-four contribution points, I will exchange them for you 80 Xuan Crystals, 20 pieces of Large Xuan Jade, and 16 pieces of Small Xuan Jade. Jade, Xiao Xuanyu, I will give you half of the Xuanyu beans, that is 800 Xuanyu beans."
Song Yan nodded.
Although his storage space is not large, in addition to the shadow puppets, it is still enough to hold these Xuan Jing Xuan Jade.
While waiting, a person suddenly walked out of Zhiqianlou, wearing a white robe, with a cold temperament and a bit of inexplicable nervousness.
Song Yan looked over, cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Yin."
That man was none other than another direct disciple of Gu Huangzi——Yin Wutai.
Yinwutai said sadly: "Junior brother, you have exchanged so many mysterious crystals, aren't you ready to come back?"
Song Yan said: "Leatherworking is the love of my life. I have called this place my home for a long time, senior brother again Why do you say this? What's more, the alliance between Nanwu Jianmen and my Puppet Sect is about to happen, how can I not come back?"
Yinwutai frowned and said: "Then what are you going to buy? Crystal?”
Song Yan said: "This has nothing to do with senior brother."
Yinwutai didn't say much, and nodded. When he saw the disciple on the side looking at him eagerly, Yinwutai waved his hand and said: "It's okay. Don’t you want to change it for your uncle?”
The disciple then hurriedly took the box and handed it to Song Yan.
After taking inventory, Song Yan saluted again and left quickly.
Yinwutai looked at his back, laughed strangely, and didn't say much. He just turned back and walked a few steps before murmuring: "Junior brother, buy more if you can. .There’s no chance to go out, hehehehe”
