Wang Ming was also stunned: "Not missing? Then where did Brother Ning go a few days ago, and why is your mother also missing?"
Ning Caichen smiled and said: "Brother Wang misunderstood. My mother and I did not disappear, but because my mother had a chronic problem of cold legs. A traveling monk said that he could cure my mother's illness, but we need to pay for it." It was a long journey, so we left. But because we were in a hurry, we didn¡¯t ask for leave. We just came back from outside a few days ago. Not long after we came back, we received a mission and came to Heishan Village. Where is Brother Wang? Will you come here too?"
Wang Ming frowned, guessing the origin of the wandering monk, and said absently: "Oh, I heard that there are escaped prisoners here, so I came to take a look."
Thinking about it, he asked again: "What does that monk look like? Tell me, maybe I can recognize him."
Ning Caichen gestured to describe it, and then said with a strange expression: "That monk is very strange. Not only does he always hold a heavy black stick, he never leaves his body. Moreover, he also eats meat."
Wang Ming suddenly realized: "It turns out to be him."
After reminiscing with Ning Caichen for a while, Wang Ming proposed that if Ning Caichen wanted to go up the mountain, he could accompany him. Ning Caichen had no doubt that he was there, but he happily agreed. Just like in the plot, Ning Caichen quickly started to go up the mountain after the village chief's kind plea. The difference was that in addition to the few death row prisoners, there were a few more Wang Ming people accompanying him.
Walking on the eerie mountain road, the cold wind blew through the grass and trees, bringing with it a ghostly cry of "woo-woo".
Xia Xuefenglei and Ning Caichen walked in front, listening to Tie Ya talking about his visit to Lanruo Temple when he was a child. Wang Ming and Li Xiaohao walked at the end, and they were also talking. But the killer didn't follow. Don't know where it went.
"Brother Wang, don't worry too much. Since the kidnappers said they wanted you to go to Lanruo Temple, they will definitely not kill them in advance." Seeing Wang Ming frowning, Li Xiaohao felt a little unbearable and opened his mouth to comfort him. road.
Wang Ming sighed: "I'm not worried about their lives, but I'm worried that since the other party has caught them, they must already know the strength of our side. If I go there with the current strength of the lineup, I will be prepared versus unprepared. The whole army will definitely be annihilated.¡±
Li Xiaohao was also a little anxious, "Then, what should we do?"
Wang Ming raised his head, glanced across the increasingly dark sky, looked at the gloomy and dense Black Mountain, and coldly snorted: "They are outnumbered, and I am not alone. Just wait and see, they will be surprised."
Then, Wang Ming said: "Have you ever heard of a man named Xiao Yun?"
Li Xiaohao opened his eyes wide: "What? Xiao Yun, Brother Wang met Xiao Yun? This person is very powerful. It is said that he is one of the most powerful Sanren below the silver level. I heard from others that he is about to be promoted. . Now all major organizations are trying to win over him and want him to join. But this person has a very weird temper and is a bit unpredictable."
Wang Ming: "Continue. I need to know his detailed information."
Li Xiaohao was encouraged and started chirping like a magpie.
As she narrated, Wang Ming gradually understood what kind of person Xiao Yun was. A plan slowly formed in his heart.
"Do you recognize Chamul? And Fan, Kyle, and Dongzi's group, tell me everything you know."
Wang Ming discovered that Li Xiaohao didn't say anything else, but he was very good at asking for gossip. Li Xiaohao actually knew these characters completely. She knows almost everyone, what organization they belong to, what abilities they have, what character and origin they have.
Seeing Wang Ming's surprised expression, Li Xiaohao said proudly: "Brother Wang, don't underestimate me. Our Pharmacist Alliance is the most well-informed place in the entire space. Even the Foundry Alliance and Trading House are not as good as ours. .¡±
Wang Ming became interested: "Oh? What's the reason for that?"
Li Xiaohao said with a smile: "Think about it, what is the most indispensable thing in space? Weapons and equipment, skill scrolls, or alchemy items. These things are indeed important, but they are not the most frequently used. But our pharmacists produce The medicines are required for every mission. Therefore, the most and most frequent transactions are reached here. Some people have no money, so they exchange some important information. Over time, our Pharmacists Union knows everything. .whee."
Wang Ming nodded, "That's true."
After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Does the relationship between the Pharmacist Union and the Foundry Union be very good?"
Li Xiaohao nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, in fact, not only our Pharmacist Alliance and Foundry Alliance are very good, but the four people in the space are also very good.The alliance relationship is very good. Because our strength is relatively scattered, we can only stick together. "
Wang Ming seized the opportunity and asked: "Which of the four alliances are there? Are there many similar organizations in space?"
Li Xiaohao said: "No more. There are only four organizations with alliance attributes, namely our Pharmacist Alliance, Fang Yan's Foundry Alliance, the Auction House Alliance and the Mercenary Alliance."
Wang Ming was stunned for a moment: "Mercenary Alliance? What is that?"
He really couldn¡¯t figure out whether there was room for mercenaries in this devil¡¯s dimension.
Li Xiaohao explained: "The Mercenary Alliance is actually the loosest alliance. It is almost a semi-official alliance. Some people will release some tasks in the Mercenary Alliance. For example, this time, our Pharmacist Alliance needs some A Chinese Ghost Story. There are herbs unique to this place. If anyone¡¯s next mission happens to be here, they can take over the mission. As long as you get the things and return to the space, you can receive the mission rewards.¡±
Wang Ming nodded: "That's right!"
At this moment, the front suddenly stopped. It turned out that several prisoners were upset, saying they had been away for too long and wanted to take a rest.
Like the original plot, Ning Caichen wanted to show kindness and unshackled several prisoners, but was stopped by Tie Ya, who made it clear that these people were all death row prisoners. Only then did Ning Caichen stop thinking.
But at this time, we are not far from the first plot point on the mountain.
Sure enough, everyone soon came to a giant tree full of flowers. The tree was very thick and large, but not high. The trunk extended horizontally and the branches were thick enough to lie flat on. There are also small flowers of various colors blooming under the trees, and the surroundings are full of life and colour.
As soon as Ning Caichen saw this place, he shouted excitedly: "I found it, I found it. Look, this place is very different from other places. There must be water here. Stop and dig down here, there must be water." Can dig out water.¡±
Xia Xuefenglei walked around the big tree to observe, and said with some confusion: "It looks very familiar. I seem to have been here before."
Wang Ming and Li Xiaohao walked up to him and glanced at each other when they heard this, and both saw a smile in each other's eyes.
"Brother Xia, this is not far from Lanruo Temple."
Xia Xuefenglei suddenly said: "Yes, I remembered that there used to be such a tree here. Yes, it is indeed not far from the place where I sealed the tree demon. But I remember that we should have passed by here yesterday. Why haven¡¯t I seen this tree? Is it strange? Is it because of the illusion of the tree demon? But why can I see it again today?¡±
Wang Ming put his hands behind his back, glanced across the treetops, and looked at Ning Caichen: "This is why I advocated coming with Ning Caichen. This person is the key to breaking the illusion."
Suddenly, Wang Ming saw Ning Caichen bending over and approaching the other side of the tree trunk, curiously looking into the tree hole.
Wang Ming and Li Xiaohao were both shocked and immediately knew that someone important was about to appear.
Sure enough, Ning Caichen¡¯s voice came: ¡°Here, little guy, I¡¯ll treat you to some candy!¡±
