An alchemy furnace fell from the sky
Chapter 177 More money is needed
Seeing the woman in front of him with trembling eyelids and frightened appearance, Xu Fu forced out a smile.
"I'm here, it's okay." Xu Fu comforted him softly, fearing that if he sounded louder, he would scare the woman in front of him.
"Snapped!"
Two short sticks, one on the left and one on the right, hit Xu Fu's back almost at the same time. The two people who struck it felt as if they were hitting a hard rock. On the contrary, the shock made the two of them numb, and they couldn't even hold the sticks. Beng flew out.
"what!"
Before Xu Fu could do anything, the woman screamed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Xu Fu asked hurriedly.
"They...beat you..." the woman said timidly.
"Don't worry, these people can't hurt me yet!" Xu Fu smiled, turned around, and glanced at the two people who just made a move.
The two guards were shocked when they saw that Xu Fu was unharmed, and they both retreated to the side of the fat man.
The fat man's body was quite strong, and he didn't seem to be hurt after the fall. He naturally saw the scene just now and saw that Xu Fu was not easy to mess with. At this time, he got up and pointed at Xu Fu with a fierce look on his face. He shouted: "Boy, you have the guts! Let's see!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Xu Fu's feet moved, and like a gust of wind, he appeared in front of the fat man, blocking his way. At some point, he picked up a wooden stick and held it in his hand.
When the two guards saw this, they hurriedly put themselves into position. The fat man was scared back half a step by Xu Fu's quick movements. He stared at Xu Fu and asked fiercely: "What do you want to do?"
"You want to leave now? I haven't given you any reward yet!"
The fat man was startled at first, and then he immediately understood what the reward Xu Fu was talking about. He immediately winked to the side, and a guard immediately took out a handful of copper coins from his waist and handed them over without counting them.
The three of them wanted to avoid Xu Fu, but Xu Fu took a step sideways and continued to stop them.
"What else do you want?" The fat man was so angry that the fat on his face was trembling.
"Why are you so anxious? Our accounts haven't been settled yet. I was hit twice with a stick just now. How can I say this?" Xu Fu said while weighing the copper plate in his hand.
"How do you want to calculate it?" the fat man said through gritted teeth.
"Pay up! Or... let me fight you back." Xu Fu said, waving the wooden stick in his hand and making a scalp-numbing sound.
"how much is it?"
"Just pay some compensation for the soup and medicine, just...two hundred gold." Xu Fu thought for a moment and said very reasonably.
"Why don't you go and grab it!" A guard shouted angrily when he heard this, and the fat man's face was already red with anger.
"Then let me fight him back?" Xu Fu asked the fat man and raised the wooden stick in his hand.
"I give!"
The fat man gritted his teeth, took out two golden tickets from his arms, and handed them over while breathing heavily.
"It's still going to be less!"
Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and took the golden ticket with some annoyance. This fat man was so quick to do it, he probably still had a lot of money on him. Instead of leaving him to dominate, he might as well "rob the rich and give to the poor" himself!
But now, it was hard to change his mind, so Xu Fu had no choice but to make way and let the three people go upstairs.
Seeing the woman picking up the coins on the ground, Xu Fu hurried over to help. At the end of the collection, Xu Fu handed the picked coins to the woman along with the two hundred gold he had just "blackmailed".
The woman looked panicked and gave in a few times. Then she held it in her hands with some panic and said thank you very much.
"My dear benefactor, Ogihua, has no repayment for my great kindness. If you don't dislike me, I would like to..."
"Just play another song!" Xu Fu said immediately after hearing this. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What was said in the book was indeed true. He could already guess what the woman named Dihua wanted to say. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. The words came out first, thus avoiding an embarrassment.
Ogihua was startled when she heard the words, and then her expression became a little sad, but she didn't say anything more. She just gave a bow, then turned around and went up to the stage. After sitting down, she stood the pipa diagonally in front of her again. With a sweep of her fingertips, the crisp pipa sound came out. Then it began to echo in the inn again.
No one else dared to come forward, whether it was because they had cowered away just now and were too frightened by Xu Fu's tyrannical methods. This song seemed to be played specifically for Xu Fu alone.
Until Xu Fu returned to the guest room, the sound of plucking strings seemed to still be lingering in his ears.
In the past, Xu Fu only liked to listen to people's stories and had no interest in music. This was the first time that he had the patience to listen to a whole piece of music. Dihua played the pipa very well, as if it could capture people's hearts, and Xu Fu, a layman, didn't feel bored at all. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.
Lying on the bed, Xu Fu recalled what had just happened and laughed unconsciously. Although he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, he did not expect that such a thing as "a hero saving a beauty" would happen to him so quickly.
It is indeed very satisfying to "hoe the strong and support the weak". It seems that I am very suitable to be a "knight"!
Thinking happily in his heart, Xu Fu gradually fell asleep. He didn't know how long he slept when he was suddenly woken up by a burst of noise.
Xu Fu woke up and found that it was already dawn. He put on his robe, rubbed his eyes, and then opened the door and took a look.
"Killing! Killing!"
A waiter ran down the stairs with a trembling cry. Many people heard the sound and opened their doors.
Xu Fu felt sleepy after hearing this, so he quickly put on his outer robe and walked upstairs.
I saw a lot of people pointing around the door of a room upstairs. Xu Fu also went over to take a look. When one person saw Xu Fu coming, he immediately reminded his companions and left quickly. The others noticed it and quickly retreated elsewhere, not daring to make eye contact with Xu Fu.
Xu Fu was also very surprised to see that everyone was as afraid of him as a tiger. When he walked to the door and took a look, Xu Fu finally understood why those people were afraid of him.
Xu Fu recognized the man lying in a pool of blood. He was the fat man who molested the busking girl during the day. There was a blood mark on this man's neck, and his throat must have been cut with a sharp knife.
Seeing that most of the blood on the ground had dried, and there were no traces of fighting in the entire room, it seemed that this person was assassinated not long after he fell asleep. And his two guards had disappeared.
"Evil begets evil!"
After Xu Fu saw it, he didn't feel any sympathy at all. Such people must be used to being arrogant. Xu Fu was not surprised at all when he provoked a ruthless person and lost his life.
Seeing Xu Fu swaggering downstairs, everyone gave way to him. Xu Fu didn't care. Anyway, he didn't do it himself, so he had nothing to feel guilty about.
Going straight back to his residence, Xu Fu suddenly found that there was one more person in the house. It was the busking girl Ogihua from yesterday, who was standing in the house holding Qin.
"My dear benefactor, run away quickly! I heard that the person who died has a lot of background, and they won't let it go." Dihua said hurriedly when she saw Xu Fu coming back.
"I didn't kill the person, why should I escape." Xu Fu disagreed with Dihua's statement and asked nonchalantly: "How do you know I live here?"
"My benefactor, no matter what, you should hide for a while. If someone really comes to take the opportunity to cause trouble, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly!"
When Dihua heard that Xu Fu was not taking it seriously, she became even more anxious.
"Ok."
Seeing Dihua's appearance, Xu Fu thought it made some sense, so he simply agreed, packed up his things casually, and headed out.
"Aren't you leaving?" Xu Fu walked to the door and asked in surprise when he saw Dihua frozen in place.
"I will stay here. If someone comes to trouble my benefactor, I will try my best to delay it. My benefactor, please leave quickly!"
"How can you, a weak woman, delay? You'd better come with me." Xu Fu's heart warmed when he heard this, and he sincerely invited.
"But..." Ogihua was slightly startled, biting her lip and hesitated.
"Stop being stubborn and let's go!" Xu Fu said, grabbing Dihua's forearm and walking out.
The two left the inn, hired a carriage, and soon left the city.
"what's your plan?"
Xu Fu and Dihua were riding in the same car, and a faint fragrance flowed straight into the nostrils, making people confused and confused.
Xu Fu opened the curtain on the side of the carriage from time to time, seemingly to check the position where the carriage was locked. In fact, it was more to let some air and calm the inexplicable throbbing in his heart.
"I don't have any plans, just take it wherever you go." Ogihua said softly, which sounded a bit sad.
"Are there any relatives or friends you can go to?"
"If it was true, it wouldn't be reduced to this."
Xu Fu cursed himself in his heart, "It's really "the pot that I don't open and lift"!
Just when she didn't know what to say, Ogihua suddenly knelt down in the carriage.
"Ogihua knows that I have neither talent nor appearance, and following my benefactor will only be a burden. But I can wash and cook, squeeze my waist and beat my legs, and do any dirty and tiring work. I just ask my benefactor not to drive me away." Ogihua Begged and begged.
"I don't dislike you, I really have something important to do." Although Xu Fu couldn't bear it, he still refused cruelly.
"Can I... not be of any help at all?"
Dihua's words suddenly reminded Xu Fu. He had gone to Juque City to inquire about clues related to the Earthly Spirit Treasure. The man in front of him might know something.
"How long have you been in Juque City?"
"More than six years."
"Do you know there is a place nearby called... Qilin Shanling Academy?" Xu Fu asked expectantly.
"never heard of that."
Ogihua closed her eyes, tried her best to think, and finally shook her head.
Xu Fu sighed, but he was not too disappointed. He could also understand that a spiritual home that had been destroyed for an unknown number of years was not even worth paying attention to for ordinary people as a copper plate in their hand.
"But I heard a piece of news, I don't know if it's useful." Ogihana suddenly said cautiously.
"what news?"
"Not far from Juque City, there is a secret realm, it seems to be called...Jedi."
"Jedi?" Xu Fu's eyes lit up. He was a Jedi, one of the five secret realms!
Thinking of this, Xu Fu's heart suddenly brightened up. Before, he only thought about finding Qilin Shanling Academy. He had forgotten that Shanling Academy was originally designed to guard the secret realm. If Shanngling Academy will be destroyed, the secret realm will not disappear with it. Bar.
Seeing that Xu Fu's expression suddenly became excited, Dihua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyebrows relaxed, and he continued: "When I was playing music in the inn in the past few years, I heard many people talking about this matter, as if it was in the giant city. Sixty miles southeast of Que City."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fu immediately asked the driver to turn around and head towards the direction Ogihua said.
Dihua helped a lot, but Xu Fu was embarrassed to send her away again, and he was worried about leaving her alone in the carriage. Xu Fu had to suppress his arrow-like mood and go with her.
The carriage walked slowly for two hours, until it stopped at noon.
"arrive!"
Following the coachman's reminder, the carriage slowly stopped.
Before the carriage could stop, Xu Fu had already rushed out, but the scene in front of him was like pouring cold water on his head, and his excitement suddenly became extremely disappointing.
This legendary secret realm now looks like a very desolate open space, with sparse weeds growing on the ground and no spiritual energy at all.
“In the past few years, there have been more and more people here. I don’t know what they came for. After walking around for a while, they all went back. I’m here to feed the horses. You go and have a look. After you’re done, you can take my car again. "The coachman said casually, and he was no longer surprised by people like Xu Fu who "came here because of his fame".
After Dihua got out of the car, she saw Xu Fu looking disappointed and felt very guilty, but she didn't know what to say.
"You find a place to rest and I'll go take a look."
Xu Fu didn't wait for Dihua to answer, and then used his physical skills to run towards the center of the open space. He released his spiritual power and sensed it carefully. He quickly determined that this was not a Jedi secret realm at all.
Xu Fu returned to the carriage somewhat sadly. The coachman neatly harnessed the carriage and walked back along the way he came.
Just as I was thinking about where to start, the carriage walked for a while and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xu Fu asked the coachman.
"The road is too narrow. There are cars coming in front. Let them go first." The driver explained to Xu Fu.
"This should be from Juque City. Within ten days and a half, there will be drug sellers driving several carriages to the city to buy herbs." Ogihua glanced outside the carriage and whispered.
Xu Fu didn't pay much attention to this. When several carriages passed by them, a breeze blew by, and the carriage Xu Fu was riding in was immediately filled with the fragrance of medicine.
"These are all going to deliver medicine to the Shi family." The coachman suddenly picked up Ogihua's words and said.
"The Shi family? Why does his family buy so many medicines?" Xu Fu asked curiously. In his impression, it seems that only alchemists need to buy such large quantities of medicinal materials. He doesn't know if this Shi family is the Shi Meng family.
"There is a very powerful alchemist in his family who can make elixirs. Many capable people have gone to his house to ask for them, but they have all been kicked back. I heard that one can fly after eating one of the elixirs. It is so powerful... ..." The driver swore to Xu Fu about the power of this elixir, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"Elixir?" Xu Fu's expression changed when he heard this. He immediately stuck his head out and asked the driver to turn around and walk in the direction of Shi's house.
"This..." The coachman looked confused.
"What's wrong?" Xu Fu was surprised. Could it be that the Shi family had done something so outrageous that even the coachman didn't dare to go?
"You have to pay more!" the coachman said sheepishly.
