My wife is a sword god
Chapter 32 Black Mist Forest
As the two of them were walking on the road, Lan Ningshuang suddenly asked: "The mission of the Demon Slayer Division is mostly to eradicate 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 here by the Daqian Dynasty is not very high. If they fail to eradicate the demons and ghosts, there will be no additional income, and the monthly salary may not be enough for their cultivation.
For this reason, Sizheng here, the Shi Ziming you met last time, allows his subordinates to accept tasks from ordinary people to earn some extra money to supplement their own needs. "Qin Feng explained slowly.
"I see." Lan Ningshuang nodded. As a sword attendant of the Liu family, she had never worried about money. She also had enough medicinal baths and blood pills necessary for practice, so she didn't know this.
Not long after, the two of them arrived outside a large courtyard with four entrances, and this was where Jinyang City's Demon Slayer Division was located.
Next to the gate of the Demon Slaying Department, there is a wooden fence, which is covered with white paper, and what is written on the paper are mostly 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 the husband-in-law visiting a brothel at night, begging the master of the Demon Slayer Division to capture him. If he can break one of his lines, the reward will be doubled.
Such things abound.
However, a noble family like the Qin family does not need to issue tasks here. They can go in directly to find people.
Qin Feng took Lan Ningshuang into the mansion. Except for some people who were practicing, most of the people inside were doing nothing. It seemed that even monsters and monsters didn't bother to visit such a quiet place like Jinyang City.
If that ghost cultivator didn't want to kill him last time, he probably wouldn't want to come to a place like this.
Qin Feng found a gray-haired old man in the room. 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 Mr. Qin? I saw your father before dawn today. Why, why did you come to see me?"
"I'm going to the black mist forest twenty miles away and need to hire a guard."
"Black Mist 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 had this reaction, the Black Mist Forest is not a kind place. It is said that every night, when the moonlight shines into the Black Mist Forest, black mist will fill the air and block the vision. This is why the word "Black Mist Forest" comes from.
But if that's the case, it won't make these people change their minds.
The most important thing is that there are unusual monsters in the black mist forest!
It is often heard that when villagers in the mountains are cutting firewood and pass by the outskirts of the black mist forest, they can often hear terrifying and infiltrating roars. At that time, the entire mountain 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 monsters in the forest are.
Some people even speculated that the demonic beast may have reached the fourth level of tribulation power and awakened its natal magical power twice. If anyone accidentally enters the forest and encounters it, it will definitely escape death!
Over time, this black mist forest has become the default forbidden area for everyone.
"Master Qin, why are you going to such a dangerous place?"
Qin Feng smiled and replied: "It's not that I go deep into the mountain forest, and I don't think I have a long life. I just want to pick some fruits on the outskirts of the black mist forest.
I know this is still somewhat dangerous, so I am willing to pay ten taels of silver as reward. "
Yes, Qin Feng's purpose this time was to pick the last key ingredient for hot pot, a fruit called vermilion fruit.
"Da Gan Baicao Lu" records that there is a red thumb-shaped fruit on the outskirts of the black mist 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 the previous life!
Ten taels of silver is already a lot, considering that a Blood Energy Pill is only five taels of silver. Qin Feng originally thought that there would be brave men under the heavy reward, but these demon-slayers seemed to be more cowardly than he originally expected.
Just when everyone was looking at each other in silence, a familiar voice suddenly came to mind: "I've accepted this mission."
Qin Feng went out looking for fame, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, because the person who came was none other than Cang Feilan!
"Why didn't you go to listen to Yuxuan yesterday?" Before Qin Feng could say hello, Cang Feilan took the lead, and there seemed to be a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"I just got married and there were too many things going on at home, so I didn't go to listen to Yuxuan."
Cang Feilan was silent for a moment after hearing this, then turned her head to look at Lan Ningshuang, looking up and down, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
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 sword servant of the young lady. I am responsible for guarding my uncle's safety. Who are you?"
"Demon Slayer Si Cang Feilan." His tone was as calm as a pool of autumn water, without any ripples.
Lan Ningshuang turned her head and looked at Qin Feng, her eyes seemed to be asking about the relationship between the two.
"My friend." Qin Feng answered truthfully.
When Cang Feilan heard this, she also looked at Qin Feng. Her light blue eyes reflected the other person's face. She didn't know what he was thinking. Qin Feng's heart trembled inexplicably when she saw it. She always felt that she had said the wrong thing.
"Let's go, while 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.
When Lan Ningshuang saw this scene, she followed him thoughtfully.
The gray-haired old man was still curious as to why Cang girl, who had never accepted any external missions, would take on such a mission. Suddenly, there was a crunching sound in his ears, which startled him instantly.
Turning his head, he saw that it was Shi Ziming holding a plate of peanuts over there, chewing and drinking.
"Lord Si Zheng, when did you come?"
"When the show was on, I was there, I just didn't show my face." Shi Ziming answered inarticulately.
"Good show, what good show?" The old man was puzzled.
"Hey, I don't have any eyesight." Shi Ziming 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 is the Lord's Mansion of Jinyang City.
A person hurriedly ran into the house and reported to Ye Heng: "Report to the Lord of the City, Qin Feng, the eldest young master of the Qin family, recently stepped out of Jinyang City with the two girls, intending to go to the Black Mist Forest!"
Ye Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this. In such a dangerous place as the Black Mist Forest, it would not be a surprise for anyone to die.
"I was worried that I wouldn't have a chance to express my loyalty to the Tang family, but this guy actually came to my door, Luo Ting!"
"The child is here."
"Go and tell Lord Wang about this!"
Ye Luoting heard this and left in a hurry.
Ye Heng narrowed his eyes and sneered: "If we can kill that kid secretly and give Mr. Tang his head as a gift, our Ye family will be able to enter Fengtian City just around the corner!"
