Chapter 17 Why bother when you can exchange money for it?
At this moment.
The partridge whistle focused entirely on the colorful-feathered rooster.
I just feel that I am worthy of being a Phoenix blood descendant.
Standing tall and unruly.
A stream of energy shoots straight into the sky through the feather crown.
Among a group of poultry, he stands out from the crowd and is extraordinary.
Not noticed at all.
Chen Yulou on the side had a meaningful smile on his lips.
If it weren’t for the fear of exposing too many flaws.
He didn't even bother to go to Nanzhai.
I will just come straight here.
As the best divine chicken in the world, there have been countless rumors about it in Miaojiang since ancient times.
According to legend, before entering the mountains, the corpse exorcists must pray for the blood of Nuqing cockscombs late at night to offer sacrifices to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth.
However.
Years passed.
There are very few people who know how to raise Angry Chicken.
Most of them are hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, unable to escape from the world.
“Brother Chen...”
“It’s true, it’s the Nu Qing Chicken.”
"It's really hard to find anywhere without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here."
Looked over the wall for a moment.
Partridge Whistle’s face became more and more excited and unspeakable.
Bishan is of the same lineage and is good at controlling the five elements.
To this day, they still enshrine two alien beasts.
He has lived for countless years, followed the mountain-moving leaders of the past generations, walked through mountain caves and tombs, and has an extremely high seniority.
Even they are worthy of their seniors.
In addition, he travels all over the world and has seen many strange things.
A pair of eyesight is amazing.
The rooster in the courtyard, with its colorful feathers and fire crown, and its golden light shining brightly under the scorching sun, seems to rise into the sky at any time, be reborn from nirvana and turn into a phoenix.
"Since Brother Dao said so."
"Then there must be nothing wrong."
Chen Yulou nodded calmly.
While talking.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard.
The two subconsciously raised their heads.
At first glance, I saw an old man in his fifties, wearing Miao clothing, holding a wooden ladle in his hand, containing some coarse grains.
Obviously here to feed.
In addition to the Nuqing Chicken, there are also many chickens, ducks, dolphins and geese raised in the yard.
He said hello a few times.
It’s just...
Rice was scattered all over the ground.
None of the geese or ducks dared to step forward to grab food.
Only the Nuqing Chicken ate slowly.
Seeing this situation, the two of them were even more amazed.
Those poultry were obviously attracted by its scent.
The old man was used to this and ignored it. After sowing the rice, he turned around and prepared to go back to the house.
Seeing this scene, Partridge Whistle dared to delay and hurriedly took a few steps forward.
Across the courtyard gate, I clasped my hands in fists.
"Ada, wait."
In the Miao language, older people call them Ata, while young people call them Ah Na.
He is used to traveling around the world.
In order to find out about the tomb of King Yelang.
The three brothers and sisters stayed in Miao territory for more than two years.
He has a very clear understanding of local customs and dialects.
The Miao language spoken at the moment was particularly authentic, and there was almost no flaw in it.
"What happened to you two young people?"
The old man was stopped by him and immediately turned around and glanced at the two of them.
"Ada, to tell you the truth, we have come all the way to ask you for a treasure."
"A treasure?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, with doubt in his eyes.
He was a poor man, with nothing but a stilted building that could provide shelter from the wind and rain.
“You two have found the wrong person.”
“Old man, I don’t have any treasures.”
“If I had any, I wouldn’t be able to keep it now. , I had already exchanged it for gold, silver and salt.”
Throw down a sentence.
He turned around and was about to return upstairs.
Seeing this situation, Partridge Whistle felt anxious, and without thinking too much, he pushed the door hard with his hand.
Only a click was heard.
The door bolt was suddenly broken by his secret strength.
"You..."
The old man's face darkened.
Get angry immediately.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou dared to delay.
This Jinfeng Stronghold is airtight, and there are spies everywhere. Once the local warriors are alerted, even if the two of them are amazingly powerful, they may not be able to escape.
He could see it clearly before.
Those people all have guns and guns. He has just entered the practice of cultivation now, and he is not made of copper and iron, so he will still be cold if he is shot.
As for the Partridge Whistle, although his marksmanship is magical.
But two fists are no match for four hands.
What's more, Chen Yulou didn't want to use force to rob him unless he had no other choice.
I just didn’t expect Partridge Whistle to have such a fiery personality.
He breaks into homes at every turn.
“Misunderstanding.”
“Ada, my brother is a bit impatient, but I can guarantee that he has absolutely no ill intentions.”
He walked up to the partridge whistle and gave him a look.
At the same time, he cupped his hands and smiled.
"You two young men are so rude and unreasonable. The old man said it."
"No, no, no."
Chen Yulou waved his hand.
"The treasure we are asking for is clearly far away and right in front of us. How can Ada say it is not there?"
Hearing this.
The old man was instantly on guard.
He is actually not a Miao person.
But moved from Chenzhou, Xiangxi.
In the realm of Chenzhou, besides cinnabar, the most famous one is the art of exorcising corpses.
And this secret technique is in the hands of the two great sects.
They are Jinzhai Leitan and Huzhai Leitan.
He was born in Jinzhai when he was young, but he offended a big shot and was hunted down. He had no choice but to hide his name and escape to Miao territory.
Live in seclusion in Beizhai.
Get a wife and have children.
Almost no different from the Miao people.
This matter is his biggest secret, and he has not even told his wife and children.
Right now, these two people have very human temperaments and methods.
He couldn't help but wonder, had the matter been exposed back then?
"No."
"If you two keep messing around, don't blame me for calling people."
The old man frowned, with a sinister expression, and directly opened his mouth to chase people away.
Seeing his sudden change of attitude.
Chen Yulou thought for a moment and understood.
The old man probably mistakenly thought that they were coming for him, so he immediately shook his head and smiled.
"Don't get me wrong, old man."
"Today, my two brothers only want that chicken."
As he spoke, he did not forget to stretch out his fingers. Pointing to the courtyard.
"It?"
The old man squinted his eyes and couldn't help but look him over.
But Chen Yulou’s eyes were clear and his expression was magnanimous, not like he was lying.
He felt a little more relaxed.
However, his face still looked a little stiff.
“I’ve been raising this chicken for five or six years, and it crows all the time, so I’m not willing to kill it for meat...”
Snap——
He hasn’t finished his sentence yet.
Chen Yulou suddenly took off the bamboo basket, took out a brown paper bag and opened it.
A handful of crystal clear, snow-white fine salt suddenly flowed out.
“Is it enough?”
The old man's eyes lit up.
The mountains in Miao territory are remote, and what they lack most is salt.
Almost became hard currency.
Three loads of rice can be exchanged for one pound of salt.
Besides, what Chen Yulou brought was refined salt. For just this bag, ten loads of rice may not be exchanged for it.
Subconsciously agree.
But I quickly glanced at the bamboo basket from the corner of my eye, and there seemed to be a lot of salt in it.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Ana, you don't know something. This is so angry..."
Crack!
Chen Yulou took out another brown paper bag and slapped it on the stone pile.
"Is it enough?"
"This..."
The old man was confused.
When have you ever seen such a heroic person?
A disagreement is a waste of money.
My heart couldn't help but pound.
But human nature is greedy. He looks like an old Miao farmer, but he was also a ruthless character who was accustomed to wandering around in the world when he was young.
I just suppressed the thought of agreeing.
Want to try a few more bags?
Just...
Before he could speak, he saw the young man dressed as a fortune teller, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, staring at him with a half-smile.
For a moment, he suddenly felt like he was being seen through and had no way to escape.
"Old man, you have thought clearly."
"If you miss this village, you will never have this shop again."
Chen Yulou picked up the bag of salt casually, which was meaningful. ’s smile.
"Enough!"
"The two brothers are very generous."
"Old man, I will catch chickens for you right now."
