Chapter two hundred and fifty

She didn't look like a fair woman at all. She had a gentle and dignified appearance and was a little reserved. She seemed to be unwilling to contact any man. No matter whether the other party was strange or familiar, the umbrella in her hand pointed to the ground, but seemed to be lifted up at any time to prevent the other party from approaching.

It is precisely because of this that she looks very abrupt in the inn, even more eye-catching than the tall Xiao Shaxiong.

"Are you one of the seven fairies?" Hu Guiyang was a little surprised. Although this woman was not ugly, she should be more gorgeous in his imagination.

The woman shook her head, "I'd better start from scratch."

"Yes." Hu Guiyang pointed to the stool that was moved aside by Xiao Shaxiong, "It seems that your story will be very long."

The stool was inside, so the woman hesitated for a while, "Maybe it's not that long." She still walked over and sat down, and the tip of the umbrella always pointed at Hu Guiyang intentionally or unintentionally, showing her vague alertness.

A few silver ingots were scattered on the table. Zhao Aqi and Xiao Shaxiong didn't care, but the woman stared at her for a while, "Two hundred taels?"

"Yes, one ingot is fifty taels."

"When I was sold to my husband's house, it was only worth ten taels."

"Not counting...small, right?" Hu Guiyang didn't know what to say, and he couldn't connect the woman in front of him with Wuque Hutong no matter what.

"Many, in my hometown, a girl under ten years old usually only costs a bag of food. Because I read a few words and my husband's family intends to help my father, it sells more expensively. My father is a scholar and uses these ten taels of silver to take the Juren exam, but he drowned when he crosses the river."

"It's really unfortunate, but it has nothing to do with the golden elixir."

"I'm starting from the beginning." The woman was a little unhappy.

"Please continue." Hu Guiyang smiled, feeling that this woman was difficult to deal with, and at the same time, the less she believed that she was from Wuque Hutong.

"I forgot to say it. My surname is Luo. It's better not to mention my name. Everyone calls me Luo."

"Yes." Hu Guiyang resisted the problem of talking too much.

"My husband's family is very nice to me. He got married at the age of fifteen and never gave birth to a son or a daughter. My husband did not be cold to me because of this, nor did he take a concubine."

"He has money to take a concubine?" Hu Guiyang couldn't help it.

"Yes." Luo said affirmatively.

"The real concubine is not buying a child bride for ten taels of silver."

Luo thought for a moment and said with greater certainty: "Yes."

Hu Guiyang smiled, not understanding why he had to care about this trivial matter.

Luo continued, "City was built in Yunyang, and I will move to the city with my husband's family."

"There are not many people in Yunyang."

"There are only two or three hundred households in total, all living in Dongcheng. We were forced to move there. When something happened, everyone wanted to leave, but the government did not allow it. After that, you can't leave even if you want to leave. You should understand."

"clear."

When the whole city participates in the pill absorption, no government needs to obstruct, no one wants to leave.

"In the end, all the ten people in my husband's family died, and I was the only one left."

"You are so unlucky." Hu Guiyang admitted that the Luo family was the worst so far. Many people died in Yunyang Prefecture at that time, but only one of them was left in the family of more than ten, so his luck was really bad.

"In the Yunyang Incident, the husband's family was destroyed by three people, and the others were killed by officers, soldiers or robbers."

"Huh?" Hu Guiyang did not expect such an answer.

Luo smiled, the umbrella in his hand drooped a little lowered, and the tip of the umbrella was about to touch the ground, "I never thought that one day I would learn martial arts, I had no interest or qualifications, and the Fire God Art was always stumbled. Even so, I was still attracted by the Dan Cave at that time, and it felt like I had been locked in a cell all my life and finally gained freedom. Unfortunately, for the mortals in Yunyang City, freedom is fleeting. Are you in Yunyang those days?"

“I’m in the mountains.”

"You are indeed a weird person. We are reluctant to leave. Rumors are everywhere. Everyone tries various ways to find their divine power. One of them is to kill people, thinking that they can seize the power of others with this, and accumulate a lot of things."

Hu Guiyang remembered that that night, he did see a group of robbers killing each other on the official road.

"This is how most of the husband's family were killed."

"You want to take revenge?"

"Avenge? We voluntarily participate in the murder, and no one has suffered assassination, so there is no revenge to avenge."

Hearing the word "we", Hu Guiyang was stunned, "Are you involved?"

"At that time, how many people could stay out of the matter? Fortunately, on the third day after the Yunyang Incident, the divine power in my body began to recover. Not much, but it was enough to make me survive the murder. At that time, I thought it was a man who was very anxious, but then I realized afterwards that killing was useless. Whether the magic power could be restored was entirely due to chance, and the husband's family died in vain."

Hu Guiyang didn't ask further, scratched his forehead, and smiled, "I heard now, I think you need the least golden elixir."

"I'm only halfway through."

"Did Wen Buhua not set a time for you?"

"I try to be as short as possible for the remaining half."

"Please say it."

"I can't live in Yunyang City anymore. It's not my wish to wander around the world, so I packed up my strengths and followed the officers and soldiers to the capital. On the way, I heard all kinds of rumors and finally realized that I was an alien."

The umbrella in Luo's hand touched the ground, and his face was full of loneliness. After a moment, she smiled, "Yin Yang, I don't know who called me, I am indeed different from ordinary people. As the saying goes, there are gains and losses. If I get the greatest gift, I will naturally have to pay some price."

Luo was speechless for a while, and Hu Guiyang had to ask: "What is the price?"

"Wuque Hutong has been established for a long time. It was not until after I went there that it became a famous place to seek pleasure inside and outside the capital."

Hu Guiyang laughed and hurriedly said, "Sorry, there is nothing else. I just... you really don't look like you."

"Thank you." Luo smiled and regarded this sentence as a compliment, "Because this is a disease, no one will act like he gets sick before the disease occurs, right? But I'm not here to show you the disease, you don't have this idea, right?"

Hu Guiyang immediately shook his head, "I am not a righteous man, but I will never take advantage of others' danger."

"I am a good woman. Although I was sold to my husband's family since I was a child, I have never taken advantage of the slaughter. Unexpectedly... I didn't come to ask you to save me from the sea of ​​suffering. To be honest, that is not the sea of ​​suffering. In Wuque Hutong, I am highly respected. The Seven Fairies became famous in the capital after learning skills from me. I have received a lot of happiness, which is enough to make me forget the mortality I used to be."

"Then what do you want the golden elixir to do?"

Luo smiled and retreated, "I don't want to be too happy. I have a premonition. If this continues, I will be deeply involved and be controlled. Sadly, the controller is likely to be a mediocre person. I am an Yiren of Yunyang. In the eyes of ordinary people, I am like a god, so I must never become a vassal of mortals. Do you understand?"

Hu Guiyang nodded, "I think so."

"But it still has nothing to do with you. I'm just a woman. I have nothing to do with you before. If I were manipulated by some mediocre man, you wouldn't care."

"Do you want to exchange?" Hu Guiyang already understood Luo's intention.

"Yes, it's the proposal I said at the beginning. Wuque Hutong is my territory, and there are no big and small things that happen there that I don't know."

"You forgot that I'm running away, and the matter in Wuque Hutong has nothing to do with me."

Mrs. Luo said a lot about his experience, but he was reluctant to explain the proposal in detail, so he stood up, "I heard that you are also restoring your skills?"

"It's just not long since the beginning, and there is only a little bit that I can't compare with you."

"Then you are the future Yiren of Yunyang. Yiren is superior to mortals, so Yiren will never escape. Think about my proposal, saving and helping others is nothing more than a temporary courage. Apart from a few words of thanks, you will get nothing, and you will eventually regret it. Exchange is a better choice, each has something to gain, and each does not owe each other."

"It's a good proposal, I'll consider it."

Luo bowed slightly and pushed the door out of the house.

The thin man stood outside and said weakly: "You've been timed out."

Luo smiled slightly, without explanation, and turned back to his room.

The thin man walked in, pulled the stool to the table, and after sitting down, he placed his right arm on the table, as if he was indifferent.

"You don't look like a strange man." Hu Guiyang spoke first.

The thin man smiled bitterly, "It's true that I am the most guilty rich man in this world. I have a wealth of wealth, but I dare not spend a penny, because this money is connected to my life. Every time I spend a little, I have less life."

"It seems you've squandered it."

"When I first got rich, who wouldn't want to squander it? The changes were not obvious at that time. After everything was revealed, I felt that I should be a martyr. I would rather die than surrender than live without a safe life than be famous in the future." The thin man smiled bitterly again, "When I have only a little life left, I am scared."

This is more like emotion than telling, so Hu Guiyang listened quietly and said nothing.

"My surname is Lin, and my name is Alengran. I was originally a scholar and failed the exam. So I joined the middle school official and followed the army to station in Yunyang Prefecture the year before."

"Since he is an officer and soldier, why... he didn't stay in the army? I know there was an alien who stayed in the West Factory and became Wang Zhi's most powerful minion."

"The military uses people like driving a wolf, and I will never stop until I die, but now I dare not use divine power."

"Understand, however, there is only one golden elixir, and you are not the one who needs it the most."

"I am the only one who is willing to share the golden elixir with you."

"What's the meaning?"

"The golden elixir is still in your hands. Let me take it if necessary. From now on, I will use it for you and be driven by you."

Hu Guiyang laughed.

"What's ridiculous?"

"Sorry, I... this is the problem. I want to laugh when I hear it." Hu Guiyang actually remembered Luo. One was afraid that he would be manipulated, but the other took the initiative to accept manipulation, which made him feel ridiculous and a little sad.

"Yiren in Yunyang have their own thoughts. If you and I join forces, we will be safe."

“Your experience is simple.”

"Of course, I'm a straightforward person and have no nonsense." Lin Anran stood up, "It won't delay you anymore. If you want to understand my skills..."

"No, the alien must have divine power, I know very well." Hu Guiyang could not let the other party waste his little life.

Lin Hanran bowed and said, "Thank you."

The fifth and last person to come in was Juren Guo and the dazed soldier.

"Don't you believe that Xiaocao has become a demon?" Guo Juren asked as soon as he came in.

Hu Guiyang smiled and said, "That's definitely not her, the rumors are not credible."

Juren Guo gave in and exposed the soldiers behind him, "Aren't you worried that Xiaocao will become like him? Give me a golden elixir. If it works for him, it will be a good thing for Xiaocao."

Juren Guo was even more concise. He turned around and left just by a few words. The soldier was pulled by the ropes on his waist before following him.

Hu Guiyang was indeed worried.
