"Brother, did you come from the provincial capital?" Seeing Chu Yunsheng was going straight to the leader of the town, Qiao Zhenxing, as one of the few people in the town who had seen a lot of things in Shu Du city, and was qualified to talk to other energy manipulators, he had to step forward to deal with Chu Yunsheng.
"Yes." Chu Yunsheng did not deny it. He took out something from behind him and threw it to the leader. "I will exchange this for some food."
Qiao Zhenxing saw a long black object flying towards him. He stretched out his hand to catch it, but he was forced to take two steps back before he could stabilize himself. Therefore, he could not help but worry. This person's strength was probably much stronger than him. It was really hard to tell whether this person was here for good or evil.
When he saw the object in his hand, he could not help but gasp. It was a high-end rifle. He recognized this gun. It was made by the Dark Studio in the provincial capital. It could only be exchanged with more than ten thousand energy coils. And the bullets were even more expensive. He had wanted to buy it many times, but he was always deterred by the high price.
However, although the gun was a good gun, without a source of bullets, it could only be used as a decoration. So he could not help but say regretfully, "Brother, this gun is indeed a good gun, but unfortunately, we have just received the news that the provincial capital is gone, so it is useless to take it. However, everyone who comes here is a guest. Since Brother is fated to pass by this town, I can still afford some food. Please wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch it. "
After saying that, he threw the gun back to Chu Yunsheng with a hint of reluctance. But Chu Yunsheng waved his hand and said, "although the provincial capital is destroyed, the elites are still there. They will be rebuilt in the mountain city in a few days."
Then he took out another object from behind him and shook it, "in a few months, with this energy tube, you will definitely be able to exchange bullets from the mountain city!"
The gun was lent to him by Lu Ting. But things happened too fast, so Lu Ting forgot to ask for it back, and Chu Yunsheng also forgot to return it to him. So he kept it in his storage talisman. Since it was useless to him now, he might as well use it to exchange for something in this town.
What he wanted wasn't just food for one or two meals, but enough food to support him until he separated Dark out. During this period of time, he didn't just need food, he also needed some daily necessities. It would be best if he could obtain all of them in one go.
Qiao Zhenxing had never seen something as advanced as an energy tube, but he had heard of it. It was a device used by the energy bank to store all kinds of energy. It was classified as confidential and ordinary people could not see it.
But then he thought about it again. If the provincial capital could really be rebuilt, this deal would be worth it. However, he was not sure whether what Chu Yunsheng said was true or not, and he did not want to give up the new rifle that he was about to get.
"Zhenxing, why don't we ask him to come in and talk?" Qiao Weimin saw through his son's thoughts. While they were talking, he thought for a moment and said in a low voice.
"This person's strength is much higher than mine. If he's a criminal, I'm afraid he'll bring disaster to the entire town! Do you still remember the last time I mentioned to you about the king of the Horse Head Mountain Stronghold? All day long, he would rape other people's wives, harm their children, and kill people for fun. There's nothing he wouldn't do! " Qiao Zhenxing knitted his brows and said worriedly. In fact, he had a more obscure concern that he didn't say directly. But he and his son both knew what he was worried about.
Qiao Weimin shook his head and said, "it's okay. I've observed this person for a long time. If I'm not wrong, he doesn't want to enter the town."
Qiao Zhenxing looked at his father and asked curiously, "dad, why do you say that?"
"Look at him. If he has bad intentions and wants to sneak into the town, he won't do that. He will only pretend to be an ordinary person and ask for protection. That's one of the reasons. Secondly, if he really has bad intentions, but he doesn't want to take off his armor, then he can only prepare to attack us. But as you can see, he doesn't have that intention. Thirdly, you gave him a small amount of food, but he is not satisfied. He still insisted on trading. It can be seen that he needs a lot of help. "Qiao Weimin analyzed the three points.
"That's true. Dad, you are the best. You have been the deputy mayor for your whole life!" Qiao Zhenxing thought about it and felt that what his father said was reasonable. Although it was not conclusive, it was at least eighty to ninety percent certain.
"But there is one more thing. Since he said that the fog city is being rebuilt, why doesn't he stay there? Why does he want to run around?" Qiao Weimin ignored his son's' flattery 'and asked this question cautiously.
"Dad, you don't understand. That thing in his hand is very powerful. Maybe it was picked up from the ruins of the energy bank. At this age, if you don't look out for yourself, you will be destroyed. I'm afraid that he doesn't want to suffer the pain of rebuilding the city. So he wants to hide for a while." Qiao Zhenxing thought about it and felt that if they really wanted to rebuild it, there was no need for the high-level manipulators who could wear battle armor to stay in their small town. As long as they were not evil people, logically speaking, they should be fine.
"If that's the case, it does make sense. Actually, it doesn't matter. After all, he is a foreigner. The people in this area don't recognize him. " Qiao Weimin vaguely said the other side of the worry in the father and son's mind. "Didn't we always want to recruit a few energy manipulators to deal with the mutated beasts on the northern mountain? Although it is not very easy to deal with someone who is too strong, but if this person is not a problem, it is not impossible! "
"Dad, are you talking about Xiao Wan? I think you should give up on this idea. She has a very high standard. I am afraid that in the entire provincial city, only Lin Konghui can enter her eyes. "Qiao Zhenxing shook his head.
"No matter how high her standard is, it is not her turn to make the decision. I am her father's cousin. When her father was dying, he entrusted both mother and daughter to our family. I can still make the decision. " Qiao Weimin said casually. Now he was the head of the Qiao family. Most of the elders had already left, so in terms of seniority, he was also the eldest.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng was getting a little impatient, they were afraid that he would get angry, so they quickly said from above, "brother, in that case, why don't we go into the town?"
Chu Yunsheng was starving. If he didn't get some food, he would probably faint. It was just a small town, so there was not much to worry about. He and the Ming Dao Mountain and the Fire Sea Guild had already come to this place, why would he be afraid of this place?
The drawbridge was slowly lowered, and Chu Yunsheng hurriedly entered the town. As soon as he entered the town, he felt very uncomfortable. Walking on the street, the adults were still fine, they just looked at him curiously from the windows or corners, but the children were different. They showed their curiosity with their actions. If Qiao Weimin didn't ask the militia to disperse them, these children would have followed him all the way.
In the only town government building in Hulu Kouzi, Chu Yunsheng had his first meal in a long time. A sense of fullness suddenly filled his body, and he felt like he was alive again. As for the mayor and his son's words, his mind was not on them. So he forgot the second part after listening to the first part, and the second part after listening to the second part, and the second part after listening to the second part.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Chu Yunsheng negotiated the price with the father and son. In addition to food, there were also some simple daily necessities.
Because the amount he wanted was relatively large, the mayor Qiao Weimin said that he would need some time to get it from the town's main warehouse, so he arranged for Chu Yunsheng to rest in the town's guest house.
Chu Yunsheng didn't pay much attention to it. He closed the door and sank his mind into his body, carefully thinking about how to solve the problem of separating Dark.
If he forcibly separated Dark, according to his current situation, Dark occupied most of his Source of Life. Once separated, he would most likely die because of the lack of Source of Life. But if he didn't separate Dark, not only would he not be able to solve the problem of speed, but he would also not be able to cultivate his Source of Life.
And the key was the Source of Life. This was an unknown thing. He faintly felt that something was wrong. Such an important thing, but the senior practitioner didn't mention it in his ancient book!
If someone said that the senior practitioner didn't know about its existence, Chu Yunsheng would not believe it. He was only at Yuan Tian stage three, and he could already feel it, let alone the senior practitioner!
But why didn't he mention it? No matter how he tried to explain it, it didn't seem to make sense.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Yunsheng still couldn't figure it out. So he decided to explore it himself. One thing was for sure, as his cultivation improved, his Source of Life would gradually recover. Since the first time he sealed Dark, he first turned into an old man, then into a skeleton, but in the end, he still returned to his original appearance, which meant that it could at least recover.
But how to speed up its recovery was a problem. Not to mention that he couldn't cultivate his original body, it was also impossible for him to cultivate his original body in one day. He could still clearly remember what happened when he used the mucus.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Yunsheng could only feel the feeling of extreme hunger. He concluded that the Source of Life might have something to do with food, but he couldn't eat a year's worth of food in one day. Even if it really had something to do with food, there was nothing he could do.
After struggling for a long time, he put the jade pendant that he found in the ruins into the ancient book. Probably because the ancient book was still changing, it didn't have any reaction, so he leaned against the bed and fell asleep. In a daze, he vaguely felt that sleep also seemed to have an effect on the Source of Life. For a moment, he couldn't understand it.
Calculating the time, the father and son should have already prepared the food. Chu Yunsheng couldn't figure out the secret of the Source of Life, so he decided to go to the government building and wait. If he couldn't find the Source of Life, he would go to the East Sea first. At that time, he should be able to recover!
When he was halfway out of the hostel, a man stopped him and said, "Big brother, I see that you have a strange appearance, why don't you let me do a divination for you?"
Since the dark age, Chu Yunsheng had traveled almost half of China, but it was the first time that he saw someone who made a living by divination. It was a bit like the witch in Jin Ling city.
"If you can answer one of my questions, not only will I let you do a divination, I will also give you food." Chu Yunsheng didn't believe in divination since the age of light. In his experience and impression, those people were all liars. How could those who could really predict the future, like the elders, make a living by doing this? Sui said coldly.
"Big brother, just tell me, I know half of the things in the sky, and the things on the ground …" Bai Ertiao patted his chest and said.
"I just want to ask you one question, why do people need to eat?" Chu Yunsheng interrupted him and said.
"Big Brother, you've asked the right person. If you were to ask those swindlers, I can guarantee you that all of them are full of nonsense. Not a single one of them is reliable. But this little brother here has real talent …"
Actually, Bai Ertiao didn't know how to answer this question at all. He only graduated from elementary school, so he was basically illiterate when it came to biology. But he knew one thing, he had to be as mysterious as possible. First, he needed to attract the customer's interest, and second, he couldn't prove it. So while he was talking nonsense, he was also thinking quickly. Seeing Chu Yunsheng was about to leave, he immediately said,
"Big brother, big brother, don't go, listen to me, the point of your question is not 'why do we need to eat', but 'food' and 'food'. Think about it, what do we eat? Chicken, pork, fish, beef, mutton, rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, etc. What are these? They are all animals and plants, they are all living things! So according to our sect's ancestor, we need to use our lives to feed our lives! "
Bai Ertiao swallowed his saliva and glanced at Chu Yunsheng's expression. But when he saw Chu Yunsheng's expression didn't change. Instead, he frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. Based on his many years of experience, he guessed that Chu Yunsheng must have guessed it. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that his dead master had also said the same thing to a noble person.
"You don't need to do the divination, I am a man of my word. Follow me to the government building to get the food." Chu Yunsheng knew that he was just making it up, but somehow, this nonsense touched a chord in his heart. It instantly connected the questions that he had been thinking about for a long time.
He suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. He vaguely felt that behind the food chain that was theoretically based on food, there might be a hidden dark biological chain that was based on the source of life! And this was related to the origin of life and death. Chu Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat. 'Is this the reason why the senior practitioner didn't mention the source of life?'
"Big brother, I don't need to do the divination. Actually, I have a big deal with you." Bai Ertiao looked around and said mysteriously.
"Big deal?" Chu Yunsheng said while walking.
"Big Brother, you might not know this, but with your outfit, the whole town is in an uproar. That Mayor Qiao and his son are preparing to use a honey trap on you. They think no one knows, but I heard everything from the wall." Bai Ertiao proudly said.
"Honey trap? What kind of nonsense is this? " Chu Yunsheng didn't want to talk to this psycho fortune-teller anymore, he just walked towards the government building.
"Isn't it a honey trap? Mayor Qiao is really willing to do it. Qiao Xiaowan is the most beautiful woman in our town." Bai Ertiao raised his head and saw that Chu Yunsheng had already walked far away, so he hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, big brother, wait for me, we have a big secret here. Ten miles to the north of the town, there is a big mountain, and I don't know when it started growing. This tree is amazing, it bears fruit from the ground. The old farmers have tried it before. Although it is poisonous, it is still the best food. Not only can it satisfy hunger, but it can also be used as medicine. It is many times better than the mycelium outside the spore forest. The Qiao family wanted to monopolize it, but they didn't expect that a group of degenerate beasts would come to the town. They especially feed on the mosquitoes and monsters inside the trees. So they have blocked their way to make money, so …"
