Chapter 32 Black-Fog Forest
As the two were walking on the road, Lan Ningshuang suddenly asked: "The mission of the Demon Slayer Department is mostly to remove demons and ghosts and protect the safety of the people. Why didn't I know that they also accept the mission of guarding?"？”
“What you don’t know is that Jinyang City is a small city, and the salary given by the Great Qian Dynasty here is not very high. If they fail to eradicate the demons and ghosts, there will be no additional income. The monthly salary may not be enough for their cultivation.。
Therefore, Sizheng here is the Shi Zhiming you met last time. He allows his subordinates to accept ordinary tasks and earn some extra money to supplement their own needs. "Qin Feng explained slowly.。
“so that's how it is. "Lan Ningshuang nodded. As the sword attendant of the Liu Family, she has never worried about money. The medicinal baths and Blood Qi Pills necessary for cultivation are also very sufficient, so she doesn't know these things.。
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive outside a large courtyard with four entrances, and this was where Jinyang City's Demon Slayer Department was located.。
Next to the gate of the Demon Slayer Department, there is a wooden fence covered with white paper. Most of what is written on the paper are tasks issued by ordinary people and the rewards given.。
There are many strange contents, such as helping to find the lost rhubarb at home, or asking the Demon Slayer Department to capture his husband at night. If he can break one of his limbs, the reward will be doubled..
There are many such things。
However, Aristocratic families with titles like the Qin Family do not need to post tasks here. They can go directly to find people.。
Qin Feng took Lan Ningshuang into the house. Except for some people who were cultivating, most of the people inside were idle. It seemed that even demons and ghosts were too lazy to visit places like Jinyang City.。
The ghost cultivator last time, if it wasn't for the purpose of killing himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't want to come to a place like this.
Qin Feng found a gray-haired old man in the house. He was the bookkeeper here. If he wanted to hire someone as a guard, it would be most efficient to ask him.。
“Isn't this Young Master Qin? I saw your father before dawn today. Why, you came to see the old man. But what's the matter?？”
“I'm going to the Black-Fog Forest, which is twenty miles away, and I need to hire a guard.。”
“Black-Fog Forest? "The old man was shocked. When the demon slayers nearby heard these three words, they also looked sideways, with a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.。
No wonder they have this reaction, Black-Fog Forest is not a kind place. It is said that every night, when the moonlight shines into the Black-Fog Forest, there will be black mist, blocking the vision. This is why the three words "Black-Fog Forest" Come。
But if that's the case, it won't make these people change their minds.。
The most important thing is that there are unusual monster beasts in Black-Fog Forest ！
It is often heard that when villagers in the mountains are cutting firewood and pass by the outskirts of the Black-Fog Forest, they can often hear terrifying roars. At that time, the entire forest will tremble, and birds and beasts will be frightened and run away in all directions.。
To be able to make such a big noise, you don’t need to think about how terrifying the monster beast in the forest is.。
Some people even speculate that the monster beast may have reached the Fourth Cycle Calamity Power or above and awakened the Life Source Divine Ability twice. If anyone accidentally enters the forest and encounters it, he will surely die nine deaths and still be alive. ！
Over time, this Black-Fog Forest has become the default forbidden area for everyone.。
“Young Master Qin, you are so good, why are you going to that dangerous place?。”
Qin Feng smiled back: "It's not that I went deep into the forest, and I don't think I have a long life. I went here this time just to pick some fruits outside the Black-Fog Forest.。
I know this is still somewhat dangerous, so I am willing to pay ten silver taels as reward。”
Yes, Qin Feng’s purpose this time was to pick the last key ingredient for hot pot, a fruit called vermilion fruit.。
《It is recorded in "Great Qian Baicaolu" that there is a kind of red thumb-shaped fruit outside the Black-Fog Forest. It is born in May and June and dies at the end of November. It tastes spicy and is difficult to swallow. It is red in color, hence the name. vermilion fruit。
And this thing is the familiar chili pepper from previous life！
Ten silver taels is already a lot. One Blood Qi Pill is only five silver taels. Qin Feng originally thought that when a high reward is offered, brave men will come forward, but these demon-slayers seem to be more powerful than he originally expected. Cowardly.
Just when everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a familiar voice suddenly came to mind: "I took this task.。”
Qin Feng went out in search of reputation, and was a little surprised, because the person who came was none other than Cang Feilan ！
“Why didn’t I go to Listen To The Rain Pavilion yesterday? "Before Qin Feng could say hello, Cang Feilan spoke first, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.。
“I just got married and had too many things at home, so I didn’t go to Listen To The Rain Pavilion. 。”
Cang Feilan hearing this was silent for a moment, turned his head and looked at Lan Ningshuang, looked up and down, and frowned slightly。
But for some reason, when she saw the other person's chest, her frown slowly relaxed. This slight change made Lan Ningshuang feel inexplicably uncomfortable.。
“Is this your wife? Cang Feilan asked。
Before Qin Feng could answer, Lan Ningshuang immediately replied: "I am Lan Ningshuang, the lady's sword attendant. I am responsible for guarding the safety of my son-in-law. Who are you?"？”
“Demon Slayer Department Cang Feilan. "The tone is as calm as a pool of autumn water, without any ripples.。
Lan Ningshuang turned his head and looked towards Qin Feng, his eyes seemed to be asking about the relationship between the two.。
“my friend. "Qin Feng answered truthfully。
After Cang Feilan heard this, he also looked at Qin Feng. His light azure eyes reflected the other party's face. He didn't know what he was thinking. Qin Feng's heart trembled inexplicably when he saw it. He always felt that he had said the wrong thing..
“Let's go, it's still early, maybe we can get back to Jinyang City before dark. "Cang Feilan turned and left.。
Qin Feng followed closely and stood side by side with the former。
Seeing this scene, Lan Ningshuang looked thoughtful and followed along 。
The gray-haired old man was still curious as to why Miss Cang, who never took on outing missions, would take on such missions. Suddenly, a ka beng ringed in his ears, which startled him instantly.。
I turned around and saw that it was Shi Zhiming holding a plate of peanuts over there, chewing and drinking.。
“Sir Si Zheng, when did you come?？”
“When the show was on, I was there, just not showing up. "Shi Zhiming answered inarticulately.。
“Good show, what good show? "The old man was puzzled.。
“Hey, no eyesight. "Shi Zhiming didn't know what to say, and left leisurely with the peanuts in his hands, leaving only the gray-haired old man with a confused look on his face. 。
On the other side, Jinyang City City Lord's Mansion 。
A person hurriedly ran into the house and reported to Ye Heng: "Sir City Lord, Qin Family Young Master Qin Feng, not long ago stepped out of Jinyang City with two girls, intending to go to Black-Fog Forest ！”
Ye Heng heard this, his eyes lit up. In such a dangerous place as Black-Fog Forest, it would not be a surprise for anyone to die..
“I was worried that I would not have a chance to express my loyalty to the Tang Family, but this guy actually came to my door. Luo Ting！”
“child is in。”
“Go and tell Mr. Wang about this.！”
Ye Luoting heard this and left in a hurry。
Ye Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a sneer: "If we can secretly kill that kid and use his head as a gift to Young Master Tang, our Ye Family can enter the Heavenly City just around the corner.！”
