The Tale of the Kraken
Chapter 107 The Zodiac and the Yellow Bird
Chapter 107 The Zodiac and the Yellow Bird
Early the next morning, everyone took the plane to the north, and after more than three hours, the plane stopped at Bingcheng.
Bingcheng is the capital of the northernmost province in China. Because of the historical relationship, there are a large number of Russian buildings, and the planning and construction of the entire city are completely different from other places in the inland.
You can see all kinds of roofs that are exactly the same as the domes of Orthodox churches, which look very gorgeous under the sunlight.
However, the people who came here for the first time were obviously not in the mood to appreciate the scenery at this time. Yuan Mu made a phone call on the airport bus, and after confirming the address, he turned around and discussed with Zhou Liang, and decided to go to the hotel to settle down first. Then go find an acquaintance.
Because it is the peak tourist season, there are only double rooms left in the hotel. Fortunately, there are not too many people who come this time, so we can divide into three rooms.
In the end, Yang Yang and Yuan Mu share one room, Yuzhong Wu and Zhou Liang share one room, and Chacha and Yue Bing live in one room as girls, of course.
After they went back to their rooms and put away their luggage, they didn't bother to rest. After gathering in the hotel lobby, they took a taxi to Yuan Mu's old acquaintance.
The so-called old acquaintance is none other than the monkey Yuan Mu mentioned before.Since it was the first time to go, it was inconvenient to bring too many people, so Chacha and Yuebing stayed at the hotel to rest.
A few people followed Yuan Mu in the small alleys of the old city of Bingcheng, and finally stopped in front of a small shop that was not very conspicuous.
Yang Yang looked up, there was a plaque hanging on the small shop, with the words "Tishanju" written on it, it looked like a place selling antiques.
It would be appropriate for this kind of thousand-year-old monster to sell an antique or something, but in this kind of place, would anyone really come?While complaining in his heart, he followed a few people into the shop.
Compared with the inconspicuous facade, the inside of the store is unique.
Although Yang Yang, as an ordinary human magic weapon, has never seen many antiques, he still knows such common-sense antiques as blue and white and enamel, especially when he saw a golden nanmu root carving not far from the store. When he finished the tea table, he had a new understanding of the attitude of the owner of the shop.
As for whether it is a fake, this is not within the scope of Yang Yang's consideration at all. Just kidding, it's fine if this thousand-year-old monster doesn't show it. How can it be a fake?
"Old Yao?" Yuan Mu didn't express too much surprise, he shouted as soon as he entered, "Old Yao?!"
"Hey! Come here!" As soon as he finished speaking, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man came out from the corner of the store, and said as he walked: "Our store is not doing business today... Hey! Master Bai Ze!"
Seeing the person coming, he was stunned for a moment and immediately turned a corner: "Oh! Master Bai Ze! And Master Ying Long! What kind of wind brought you here! Hurry up! Come in!"
Regarding his attitude, Yuan Mu nodded noncommittally, and said, "I told you before that I want to come, why are you so surprised?"
"You called me a week ago. I thought you might have changed your mind." Lao Yao said, leading a group of people into the store, and continued: "I didn't say it, you said you , and don’t say hello to me when you come, so I can send someone to pick you up, right? When did Master Bai Ze arrive? Has the hotel been arranged?”
"We arrived today." Yuan Mu said in a gentle tone, looked at the store again, and asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Oh, I invited friends over today, and it's not convenient, so I gave the people in the store a holiday." Lao Yao didn't hide it, and said directly after thinking about it, "That's what you told me on the phone last time That thing."
"What? Another message?" Yu Zhongwu raised her eyebrows and asked.
"What are you talking about...don't I care about what Mr. Bai Ze told you? No, that's why I asked this friend to come today!" Lao Yao said, and called a few people to sit down , Asking one by one, "What kind of tea do you guys drink? I have the best Yuqian Longjing and Junshan Maojian here this year. If you don't like green tea, there is also Dahongpao..."
"Okay, don't bother with this matter, tell me what I asked you to find out." Yuan Mu stopped him from rummaging for tea, "I don't want to hide our friendship for so many years. You, let me tell you, this matter is not a trivial matter, at a small level, some people can't understand Ying Long and wants to slap him behind the back, at a high level..." He looked at Lao Yao and was obviously frightened. With a frowning face, he deliberately paused, "You have always heard of the Four Seas Demon Sect."
"Ah!?" If Lao Yao's expression was just frightened just now, when Yuan Mu said the four words "Four Seas Demon Sect", Lao Yao's expression had already turned into panic, and he swallowed , lowered his voice and said: "Four...Four Sea Demon Sect? He...Aren't they...?"
"We also thought that they had been wiped out before, but as the saying goes, the scourge lasts for thousands of years. No matter what the reason is, they are indeed still active." Yu Zhongwu smiled and interjected at the right time.
"Then..." Lao Yao was about to ask after hearing this, but was interrupted by the sound of pushing the door.
Everyone turned their heads when they heard the commotion, and saw a little boy about eleven or twelve years old standing at the door. The boy had a fair face and a pair of big dark eyes that looked very energetic.Yang Yang looked at the little boy and thought he had gone by the wrong way, and was about to get up and walk over when he heard the little boy ask, "Is Lao Yao there?"
The voice is soft and crisp with the softness unique to children, which makes people's hearts soften, but the content of the words is very strange but a bit weird.
Lao Yao, who was blocked by Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu, heard the voice and immediately stood up to meet him, muttering: "Oh, my little ancestor, you are finally here!" Then he pushed the little boy to the tea table Yin, while walking, introduced: "Hurry up, hurry up, this is Lord Bai Ze and Lord Ying Long that I mentioned to you."
Although they knew in their hearts that this was a thousand-year-old old goblin, they couldn't put on airs in front of that cute Zhengtai's face. In the end, Zhou Liang coughed, waved to the Zhengtai, and said, "Come and sit down."
The lady didn't refuse, and sat down next to Zhou Liang generously, then nodded to Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu, and respectfully called: "Lord Bai Ze, Lord Ying Long."
"Is your tribe all right?" Yuan Mu replied with a smile, and asked with some concern.
Yang Yang was just a little skeptical at first, but after hearing his words, he confirmed that this seemingly soft and cute little Zhengtai was a monster.He blinked, unable to stop his curiosity, so he pushed down his glasses, took a sneak look at the little lady, and saw a circle of white feathers on the lady's head, which was... …bird?
"Thanks to you, everything in the family is fine." Xiao Zhengtai didn't care about Yang Yang's peeping, he smiled and said to Yuan Mu, "I heard from Lao Yao that you asked me something?"
"Yes." Yuan Mu nodded and said, "But don't worry, if it conflicts with your business, we won't force it."
"Master Bai Ze was just joking." The little Zhengtai said with a chuckle, "You have shown great kindness to our clan. Since you came to ask the question in person, as long as Huang Liu knows, he must know everything and talk about it."
Hearing this, Yuan Mu turned his head and exchanged glances with Zhou Liang, and then said, "I heard from Lao Yao that the hair he sheds every year when the seasons change is entrusted to you to deal with?"
"Yes." The little Zhengtai who claimed to be Huang Liu nodded and said, "Zhou's hair is the material with the best neutralizing properties, so it has always been a very sought-after refining material. These old Yao's hair has always been my favorite material when changing seasons. Handled, if you want to know, I can give you detailed information and files, but I hope you will try to keep it secret for me."
"Of course." Yuan Mu agreed to Huang Liu's request, and said, "It's not too late. I don't know when is convenient for you?"
Everyone who thought they were going to change places heard an unexpected answer. Huang Liu smiled slightly and said, "You can do it now." Then, he took out a tablet from the schoolbag behind him, and skillfully opened the Aliwangwang , after logging in, switch to the column of completed transactions, pointing to one of the leopard plush toys and said: "Now everyone uses Taobao to conduct transactions, which is not only convenient and fast, but also not easy to be discovered by others."
Yang Yang was dumbfounded as he watched the monster with a good-looking appearance explain science to several people, and in his heart ten thousand mud horses galloped by, this world is simply too crazy!Even monsters can visit Taobao!my God!what happened!
"This is an activity I did during Double Eleven last year. I basically bought Lao Yao's hair in those few days last year." The yellow bird who didn't know that he had been crazily complained about by a mortal still refreshed for Yang Yang With a worldview:
"But to be honest, I have cooperated with Lao Yao for many years. The records in the past few years are good, and it is difficult to find any further. Besides, it is not a face-to-face transaction now, and this thing is sold in large quantities. If it is true I’m afraid it won’t show up if you look for it, it’s too difficult.”
After hearing what he said, Yuan Mu nodded in agreement, and several people in the room fell into silence.
Lao Yao saw that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately said: "Hey, let's not talk about this, Xiao Liuer, you have to worry about it when you go back, Mr. Bai Ze finally came here, I will treat you tonight! Let you try the authentic pig-killing dishes! "
Although the clue of Zong was broken, fortunately, Yuan Mu and the others didn't come here purely for this matter, so they just fell silent for a while and passed away. Originally, they didn't hold much hope for the Tianhuomu matter. .Just when Yuan Mu was about to nod his head to agree to Lao Yao's invitation, Xiao Zhengtai spoke up.
He changed from his previous generous style, looked at everyone with a bit of embarrassment, and said to Yuan Mu: "Huang Liu has something else to ask Lord Bai Ze for help..."
When Yuan Mu heard this, he thought that he couldn't find any clues for the time being anyway, and Huang Liu might still be needed to find Hu Weixian, so he nodded briskly and said, "Tell me, as long as I can help, I don't think I can refuse. "
