Chapter 25 The thief (4)
The bad situation of friends made Jin Ling feel very uneasy.
In fact, his own situation is not much better, and there are people who buy murders him.
"You said, in life, how can we be valued and respected in others?" Jin Ling suddenly said while eating, perhaps because of his feelings.
"This is not simple, just have money!" Huo Bao answered without hesitation.
"No." Jin Ling smiled, "The entire Wangxian Continent is honored to be an immortal and cultivating immortals. It should be that only those with profound immortal power and powerful immortal skills can be respected."
Huo Bao looked at him as if he was looking at an ignorant child: "Young Master, you are not yet well-educated. Do you know that those powerful immortals grew up on? After all, there are a few who have strong bloodlines, and most of them rely on magical elixirs, powerful immortal skills or immortal crystal skills, weapons, equipment and magic weapons with supernatural powers, and continuous immortal crystals. Where do these things come from? Did they fall from the sky? Didn't they all buy them with money? The way to cultivate immortals is a path full of gold."
"It's reasonable." Jin Ling agreed with his statement.
"Besides being respected, in addition to being strong, the empire attaches more importance to its powerful power. Under the rule of the Immortal Emperor, the nobles took the lords to raise officials as the foundation, supplemented by the power of immortal palaces at all levels, which is the foundation of the empire. In addition to the official forces, gang forces, family forces, and chaebol forces also firmly control the general trends in various places. The fundamental reason why these forces can gather is their strong financial resources. Simply put, without financial resources, who would be willing to tie them up with others and work hard for them?"
He sighed and said, "Didn't we brothers be tempted by the employer's two gold coins to do this murder and arson..."
Jin Ling sneered: "Two gold coins, my life is really valuable."
Huo and Du were quite embarrassed when they heard this.
"Since money is so important, how can you make a lot of money quickly?" Jin Ling was not stingy to ask these two thieves for advice. After all, he was still young and lived in this simple grassland village for a long time. He didn't understand too many things.
Huo Bao thought for a while and said, "If you want to make money, of course, you will make the most money from the immortals and the fastest. After all, every immortal is a family that is focused on training, and some young immortals with huge potential are even more expensive. But those forces are willing to spend this money! After all, being able to cultivate a talent may be able to shoulder the important task of reviving the family's power."
"Of course, this road to making money also has the same huge price and risk. Most of the sources of immortal equipment pills are in the wild. Whether it is looking for mineral veins, immortal medicines, or hunting monsters, obtaining their flesh and fairy crystals, or raising fairy pets, they all face extremely huge dangers, and often have to pay a price of blood. Since ancient times, humans have not had the advantage in the battle with monsters. Even in the Wangxian Continent, the most profound scholars only know that the areas that humans have developed and explored are less than 10% of the entire Wangxian Continent..."
Du Ermao interrupted and said, "I heard that Luoyun Fairy Village brought back a corpse of a demon deer from Lingshan a few days ago. With this, the fairy village earned more than 100 gold yuan... The fairy village has not hunted such large monsters for a long time. The more ferocious the monster is, the greater the immortal power and medicine power contained in the flesh and blood skeletons, the more valuable it is."
Hearing this, Jin Ling was stunned and remembered the situation of a circle of fierce demon beasts surrounding him that night. The huge centipede monster was trampled to death by a ferocious gray wolf monster. Now, its corpse is contained in the space of the white alien crystal on the black bracelet.
"Then, the corpse of that monster is so valuable?" He felt dry and thirsty, with one hundred gold coins. The people in the entire grassland village combined and worked hard for a year, but they could not make this money.
One hundred gold yuan, the weight is equivalent to one hundred taels of gold and ten kilograms of gold. How much can you do? It is more than enough to build a new house for every family in the Grassland Village.
"Of course!" Huo Bao tried his best to show off his knowledge, "That was just a first-level white monster. If it was a high-level ferocious monster, the price would only rise in a row! Moreover, in the fairy markets everywhere, there was a shortage of supply. If there were immortal crystals in the corpse, the price would be even more immeasurable."
The monsters are afraid of light and darkness. Most of them appear at night, with mysterious appearances and unique abilities. They can feel the breath of powerful humans and escape when they look at the wind. It is difficult to kill. This is also an important reason why their prices remain high.
It seems that the five elements power on the black bracelet is quite attractive to the monsters. If you stimulate the five elements power and attract the monsters to come and kill, it should be much easier than organizing a demon hunting team to enter the dangerous land to hunt.
Thinking of this, Jin Ling's eyes lit up.
......
Tong Yu, deputy commander of the Third Guard of the Northern Jin Kingdom, received a secret letter from Jinhua City.
The letter was sent by Tong Jinian, the father of the Left General of the Kingdom. The letter said that Wu Zhi'an's family was destroyed, which aroused the anger of some civil officials of the Kingdom. The crowd rushed to write a letter asking King Shang Zhen of the Northern Jin Dynasty to mobilize the guards to seize the murderer with all his might.
Shang Zhen was afraid of arousing suspicion and secretly ordered Tong Jinian to stop all secret hunting and killing of Jin surnames or his previous subordinates. This special letter asked Tong Yu to stop acting and return to Jinhua City.
"This King of Shang is going to be a * again, and wants to set up a archway." After cursing, Tong Yu summoned his subordinates, said a few briefly, and sent someone to tell the Song brothers to cancel the task against Jin Ling.
The Song brothers also let out a long sigh.
After Tong Yu left, Song Hui cursed: "Cousin, what do you think this is called! We will kill and set fire to others, and then ask us to stop. This is just to make fun of people."
"When you are in a high position, you can do this, just tease people." Song Ning said, "Those two thieves are still in the forage farm now?"
"Yeah." Song Hui said, "The people I sent saw that they were still limping there. I guess they had a leg injury and were forced by Shao Tong and dared not leave."
"Do they recognize you?" Song Ning asked.
"They don't know my name and identity." Song Hui thought for a while and said, "But if they meet, they will probably recognize it. But they will definitely not say it. If they say it, Jin Ling would have come to trouble us long ago."
"Then don't worry about them." Song Ning felt relieved, "In this way, they won't be able to find our brothers. If you meet them by chance and recognize you, you will just refuse to admit it."
......
More than half a month has passed, the injuries on brother Huo Bao’s leg are basically gone, at least there is no big problem with walking.
That morning, after the three of them had breakfast, Jin Ling said to Huo and Du, "Since your injuries have healed, I will not keep them together. You will leave in a while."
The two couldn't believe their ears, and Huo Bao said, "You really let us go?"
"Didn't you say that you don't want us to leak the news of your successful opening of immortals?" Du Ermao said.
"Where is the airtight wall in this world?" The young man looked at it calmly, "It can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a long time. What people should know will always know. It turned out that they were afraid that you would have injuries on your legs and inconvenient to walk. Now that the injury is healed, let's go."
Huo and Du looked at each other. After spending more than half a month with the young man, they truly felt that although he was young, he was still very kind, and could even repay their grievances with kindness to heal them, cook for them, and drink for them.
Moreover, he has the ambition and is easy to study. He asks them about worldly knowledge every day, learns martial arts from them, and respects them like a real teacher. This makes the two thieves feel that their long-term down-and-out life suddenly achieve something.
They actually killed such a person for just two gold coins.
Thinking of this, they felt very guilty.
"Young Master, you are a good person and have ambition. You have the kindness to spare us." Huo Bao said, "We two brothers have traveled around the world without any worries and have done a lot of bad things. We have also figured it out these days here and don't want to live the days of killing people and robbing for some money."
"We will follow you and be a servant. It's okay, at least we can do some heavy errands." Huo Bao pulled Du Ermao and knelt down in front of Jin Ling to express his loyalty, "You take us away."
"Are you serious?" Jin Ling was a little surprised.
"Of course it's not a joke." Huo Bao said solemnly, "You are young, but you are an immortal. It's not embarrassing that we brothers are following an immortal!"
Jin Ling thought about it and found that over the past period of time, the performance of these two thieves still had some effect. Regardless of whether they were sincere or just a momentary sincerity, if the two were really able to be their own servants, it would indeed save a lot of trouble.
