Chapter 19: The Matter of the Meteor Immortal Forest [Enter to ask for branches]
Meteor Immortal Forest, where is that?
On Qingze Continent, even a three-year-old child knows about the Fallen Fairy Forest, let alone an adult like Su Ziyi. Even though the original person has been in seclusion in the Su Mansion, he has heard about the Fallen Fairy Forest.
I don’t know since when, a legend appeared on the Qingze continent. According to legend, a real immortal was buried there in the Fallen Immortal Forest. The immortal was deeply unwilling to die because of his unexpected death. His dying hatred caused his flesh and blood to pollute the land where he was buried. From then on, strange trees were entangled here, and monsters and beasts were everywhere. If it goes rampant, it will be difficult for crops to grow and people and animals will be restless.
In order to prevent it from continuing to spread and protect the monks' remaining living place, forty-nine powerful monks with heavenly power sacrificed themselves and used powerful means to completely isolate the Fallen Fairy Forest from other lands. And supplemented by the power of the formation, they fight against the power of the immortals in an attempt to defeat or even purify the polluted land.
Day after day, year after year, when monks possessing the power to reach heaven can only be heard as legends, no one takes the reputation of the Fallen Fairy Forest seriously anymore.
For today's people, the Fallen Immortal Forest is more like a treasure land. Although there are a lot of monsters inside, there are also many herbs and ores that are not available outside. And whether it is monsters or herbs, they are important resources in the cultivation process of monks, and the huge benefits contained in them make people flock to them.
However, the Immortal Meteor Forest is the place of the Immortal Meteor after all.
No one knows how big the Meteor Fairy Forest is. Everyone only knows that it is a forest with no end in sight. The further you go inside, the stronger the monsters become and the higher the risk. One by one the explorers fell down on the way to the depths, and then batches of new visitors arrived, and piles of corpses failed to pave a smooth path out of the Fallen Fairy Forest.
At this time, people began to be afraid. They no longer challenged the bottom line of the Fallen Fairy Forest. They learned to hunt honestly on the outside of the Fallen Fairy Forest. Unless they were powerful people, they no longer dared to go deep into the Fallen Fairy Forest. of.
"If it is close to the Fallen Fairy Forest, then Luoshan Village should not be so barren." Villages and towns connected to the Fallen Fairy Forest often serve as transfer stations. The huge flow of people brings money and prosperity to the place. . "Well, so it was in the past." Bian Qing said seriously: "I heard that three dynasties ago, Qingcheng was still the outskirts of the Meteor Immortal Forest." Su Ziyi stopped talking. Compared with Chucheng,
Qingcheng It is indeed much closer to Luoshan Village, but it is also hundreds of miles away. "So, I was thinking -" Over there, Bian Qing was still talking: "Perhaps it is true as the villagers said, this place used to be within the scope of the Meteor Fairy Forest, just because the range of the Meteor Fairy Forest is getting larger and larger. They are too small, so they are no longer connected -" "
And in this case, the things in the legend may be true. The forty-nine powerful people succeeded. Not only did they isolate the Fallen Fairy Forest from the land, It even reversed the situation in the Fallen Fairy Forest, making it smaller and smaller." Bian Qing's words became light and airy in Su Ziyi's ears, making his thoughts spin along with him.
Su Ziyi agreed with Bian Qing's statement in his heart.
"So, the current monsters are leftover from the former Fallen Immortal Forest?" Su Ziyi's voice became deeper. "I don't know about that." Bian Qing was now very accustomed to talking calmly with Su Ziyi: "But maybe that's it." "When you say that, I want to go into the mountains to have a look." Su Ziyi sighed. road.
Bian Qing stiffened and said in a low voice: "It's very dangerous." "
But which monk's road will be smooth sailing?" Su Ziyi opened his eyes and looked at the roof: "Even if it's not what you just said, I still We need to go into the mountain. After all, these monsters are already very close to Luoshan Village. If we sit still and wait for death, there is no guarantee that one day while we are still sleeping soundly, there will be second-order or even third-order monsters rushing down the mountain. What should we do then? "
His words made Bian Qing's heart tighten, and there was bitterness in his mouth: "No way." "
No one knows." Su Ziyi shook his head gently: "We can only take the initiative to find the answer. If not, we We can continue to live a peaceful life as before. If so, we have to find a way to deal with it." "We can tell the government and let the government people take care of it." Bian Qing was a little anxious.
"The government won't believe us. We have no evidence."
"That's not necessary
-
we will do it." Bian Qing turned around and looked at Su Ziyi seriously: "Today's Butler Xiang, he is here We have bought monster meat from us twice in a month. No one from Luoshan Village has ever provided monsters before, so if a monster suddenly appears in Luoshan Village, they will definitely notice it, whether it is for the government's own use or If they are used for selling, they will send people to investigate."
"Once they find something wrong, they will definitely send people to solve it." As soon as Bian Qing finished speaking, Su Ziyi couldn't find anything to refute, Bian Qing said. Qing is really smart and knows how to find breakthrough points.
"You are indeed right." Su Ziyi confirmed his words: "But that is only a possibility." He also turned sideways and looked at Bian Qing: "We can't put our hope in others. It is better to do it yourself than to expect what others can do. Besides, Bian Qing——" Su Ziyi's eyes seemed to see into Bian Qing's heart: "I also need more monsters to support my cultivation." Bian Qing was silent.
.
Although he has never practiced mental techniques or conducted orthodox training, he also knows that training is extremely resource- and money-consuming. And gold and silver are not scary. What is scary is that some things cannot be bought and sold with gold and silver. When he was still in the Liu Mansion, he knew that the higher the level of cultivation, the smaller the effect of gold and silver. High-level monks almost always use the kind of spiritual stones mined in mines.
And that kind of stone costs a lot of money. The 4,500 taels Su Ziyi just got is worthless in front of that kind of stone.
Therefore, just like Su Ziyi said, if you want to continue practicing, you need more resources, even the kind of spiritual stones, which also requires a large amount of funds in the early stage. In this impoverished small village, the only way Su Ziyi could obtain a large amount of money and training resources was to go into the mountains to look for monsters.
As for persuading Su Ziyi to live an ordinary life like ordinary people from now on?
Bian Qing felt that he did not have this position and did not want to do so. The experience of being a servant in a noble family made him deeply understand how important cultivation is. He is unwilling to accept it, but because even his life is in the hands of others, what can he do? He could only hide all his unwillingness in his heart and accept this life.
As time passed like this for a long time, he himself became a little indifferent. The darkness of life made him learn to surrender, but a glimmer of light in the darkness also rekindled his hope. Although he did not have expectations for himself, he did not want Su Yulang to become like him, with no spiritual power. , but because he doesn’t know how to cultivate his mind, he can only be slaughtered by others.
In the past, he did not dare to think that Su Ziyi, who did not regard Su Yulang as his own child, would teach his children, but judging from the recent situation, the Su Ziyi in front of him was completely different, which made Bian Qing begin to look forward to it.
After all, Su Yulang is a lovely child, and he is also the parent and child of Su Ziyi's body.
"I know." Bian Qing's voice became a little hoarse as he kept talking sideways: "Then you should be careful." His words made Su Ziyi stunned, and his heart became a little subtle. "I will take care of things at home. If you need anything else and it is inconvenient to go out to buy it, just tell me directly." Su Ziyi did not answer his words immediately, but after a while:
"OK, thank you."

Chapter 20 Renovating a new house [Enter for Zhizhi]
The next day, the entire Luoshan Village was in a sensation.
Because the Su family was close to the innermost part of the village, many people saw Xiang and Yuan's carriage passing by the village. Especially those who were sitting outside and chatting outside saw Bian Qing holding a torch and hurried to Li Yu's house to ask for help. This was equivalent to saying that the monster had been sold.
That's a monster!
The people in the village are not all unsophisticated country bumpkins. Several people went to the town to find work before going to the mines. They also know that there are sometimes businessmen from other places in the town who bring monsters and sell them. But that price, even for the cheapest first-order monster, is enough for them to work in the mine for several years without complaint.
And yesterday, Su Ziyi dragged both ends out in one go! How much money is this?
In an instant, all kinds of people were jealous and envious, and even when they went to work in the mine, they couldn't help but say a few sour words. Now, not only the entire Luoshan Village knew that Su Ziyi had hunted two monsters, but everyone in the mine also knew. Immediately afterwards, the wealthy family who had just received the news immediately drove to Luoshan Village. However, after arriving at Su's house, they were told that they had all been bought last night, so they could only leave with regret.
This morning in the Su family was lively.
When Bian Qing went to Li's house to pay his respects, Su Ziyi, who had finished meditating, had already gotten into the kitchen and planned to make more meat dishes. After all, he kept so much monster meat yesterday. If he didn't eat it quickly, all the spiritual energy in it would soon dissipate, so in addition to cooking meat porridge, he also fried wild vegetables and bandicoot meat.
The spiritual energy and fragrance inside made those who had not bought the monster meat a little greedy, but Su Ziyi said that he would only keep the rest for himself, so he could only leave with hatred in front of the opponent's strength at the fifth level of Qi refining.
"Yang Xu, are you at home?" When Bian Qing arrived at Yang Xu's house, the sun had risen for a long time. At this time, Yang Xu was often the only one in the Li family. Yang Xu's husband, Li Yuze, had been there before dawn. He went to the mines with the rest of the village. Sure enough, after he shouted twice, the door of the Li family's bedroom was opened, and the round-faced Yang Xu poked her head out. When she saw it was Bian Qing, she smiled.
"Why are you here so early?" He ran out happily, opened the courtyard door, and welcomed Bian Qing in.
"I have something to do at home, so I came here early to return your scale." This scale is used when selling pigs in the countryside. It is very long and heavy. "There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's not usually needed anyway." Yang Xu didn't care, he took the scale from Bian Qing and walked towards the house: "It's no time for farming now, what else does your family have to do. "
Isn't it true that the monster was sold yesterday, so I plan to renovate all the houses at home." Bian Qing had already thought about this when he took the banknote from Su Ziyi yesterday. If everything is left to him, then he should make things better at home. Instead of hiring people to repair those dilapidated adobe houses, he should build a new one.
"This is a good thing!" Yang Xu put down the things and patted his thigh. He was really happy for Bian Qing.
"Well, when the time comes, there will be a lot of helpers at home, and I need help with cooking. Do you have time to help me?" Bian Qing added: "The helper's salary is as much as those people's, and just cooking one lunch every day is enough. ." "That's not possible! That's too much!" Although I don't know how much Bian Qing paid those workers, they were selling hard work for a day, and he only worked for half a day. How could he receive the same money!
"If you really want me to go, don't do this." Yang Xu said with a sullen face, looking quite serious: "I treat you, Brother Bian Qing, as a good friend. I am doing a favor between friends. How can you do this?" How much?" "Okay." Bian Qing knew Yang Xu quite well, but he still had to give the money: "I'll give two-thirds to the head office." When he saw that Yang Xu had something to say, he immediately stopped him. "You don't need to say that you don't need money. Your family also needs to make a living. You can't do it for our family in vain." Looking at
Bian Qing's unyielding look, Yang Xu hesitated. After a while, he said: He sighed helplessly: "Okay."
Bian Qing smiled, and suddenly remembered that he was carrying other things in his hand, and hurriedly delivered them to Yang Xu: "By the way, this is a thank you gift for your help. ." "This, how can this be so embarrassing." The things in Bian Qing's hands were carried in a basket and covered with a layer of cloth, so Yang Xu didn't know what Bian Qing was carrying. Moreover, Bian Qing
had
just asked him to do something, so why did he have the nerve to accept it now?
"It's okay, one code equals one code. You have helped me so much before, do you have to settle things with me?" Not allowing Yang Xu to refuse, Bian Qing pushed the basket directly into Yang Xu's arms: "This is mine. My husband hunted in the mountains yesterday. I took care of it last night and rubbed some salt in it. You should eat it as soon as possible in the next two days. "On the mountain? "Is it meat?" Yang Xu was a little surprised. When he opened the white cloth on it, it turned out to be a bowl full of meat.
"Well, snake meat." According to Su Ziyi, the monster meat at home was enough to eat for a long time, and he also had money, so it was better to give the snake meat out as a favor, so he asked Bian Qing to mention the snake meat directly. Li family.
"This is too much." Yang Xu was actually a little scared when she heard that it was snake meat, but when she thought that snake meat was also meat, she was a little reluctant to part with it, but she was still a little embarrassed about Bian Qing's generosity. "It's okay." Bian Qing smiled and said, "Just take it. Maybe we will need your help when our family has difficulties in the future." "Okay." It would be a bit shameful to refuse any more,
so Yang Xu accepted it generously.
"By the way, is your husband treating you well?" Just as Yang Xu sent the meat back to the kitchen and returned the empty bowl and bamboo basket to Bian Qing, he still couldn't help but ask: "I saw him well last time. He looks a lot different. Compared with before, he seems to be a completely different person. He doesn't look so superior." "He is very good to
me and A Lang now." Regarding this topic, there is something hidden in it. , so Bian Qing was unwilling to go into details, and just said vaguely: "Now I am in charge of the family, and I am given plenty of money and so on." "That's good." Yang Xu breathed, and then became a little confused He said mysteriously: "He changed a lot after you hit him with a stick. If I knew that a stick could make him better, I would have hit him earlier." These words were full of regret.
Bian Qing on the side felt mixed emotions after hearing what he said.
Bian Qing worked quickly and rushed to the town after breakfast. Because he had worked as a helper when other people were building houses before, he also knew which foremans there were in the town. He successfully found a foreman with a good reputation, and then went to West Street to find the Qiao family who helped repair the hut last time. Father and son asked them to help select some honest and willing people to do the work, and agreed on a salary that would be the same as last time.
The Qiao family and his son, who had been worried about no one asking them to do things, were so happy when they heard the good news.
The issue of the Su family's new house was a commotion outside, and people in the whole village said many unpleasant things secretly because of it. But none of this affected the Su family. First, because their family was not very familiar with the people in the village. In addition, those people dared to talk behind his back. If they really met Su Ziyi, they would shut up faster than anyone else. Who said that the strongest person in Luoshan Village was Su Ziyi?
