Treading Blood to Sky’s End Chapter 50: Go to the ruins

In the foggy mountains in winter, the fog is thinner and the visible distance is farther, but the fog and ice fall on people's bodies like needles and pain.

Zhang Tianliu was wrapped in a cloak and a bamboo hat, sitting on a bench under the wishing tree, looking at the passers-by.

It has been more than a month since he came to Wushan Town, and he never seemed to want to leave here.

"Young man, here we go again." The old woman selling wishing lanterns walked over to Zhang Tianliu and sat down next to her with a smile.

"Recently, there seem to be fewer and fewer people." Zhang Tianliu said.

"Oh, they all went to the ancient country. I wonder how many will come back this time!" The old woman sighed.

"Is it dangerous?" Zhang Tianliu asked.

"Of course it's dangerous. It's a place where people eat people. Don't look at how these people behave in the town. When you get to the ruins, they will be the first ones to stab you! If you want to go there, you'd better go there. If you go, don’t believe anyone.”

Zhang Tianliu smiled and said, "I'm not short of money."

"This is not a matter of money." The old woman chuckled and suddenly said mysteriously: "Have you ever heard of the Secret Record of the Immortal?"

Zhang Tianliu nodded, he basically understood the legend of Wuhai.

It is said that thousands of years ago, the leader of the Fog Kingdom devoted all his efforts to write a sacred book called "The Secret Record of the Immortal"!

There are even rumors that the real reason for the destruction of the Fog Kingdom is because of this divine book!

Although all people in the Fog Kingdom are dead, the Secret Record of Immortality is still left in the palace, and those who get it will be immortal. Therefore, it attracts many people to go there every year, but they never return.

"Actually, the people of the Fog Kingdom are not dead!" The old woman looked at Zhang Tianliu, brushed off the ice scum on his bamboo hat and said, "The king is still here!"

"Mother-in-law, you mean that he has become immortal?" Zhang Tianliu frowned.

"I haven't seen it, so how would I know? I also heard from hearsay that many people went deep into the palace of the Fog Kingdom and returned seriously injured. They all said they saw the emperor! Do you think other than the Lord of the Fog Kingdom, which emperor would stay here? That hellish place? He is a figure from the Human Emperor period. If you are still alive, why do you want to go in and die?

"Those who drown are those who know how to use water. We can't control it." Zhang Tianliu stood up, brushed off the ice shards on the old woman's bamboo hat, and helped her remove the blackened wishing lanterns one by one.

Back at the inn, Zhang Tianliu saw the girls actually holding playing cards and playing with each other.

"Where did it come from?" Zhang Tianliu frowned.

After hearing this, Ah Qi hurriedly stood up and said, "The small shop opposite the inn brought back a lot of interesting things from outside."

Zhang Tianliu curiously went to the window and took a look. The fog was thinning now, and he could see many people gathered around the shop opposite. After a few glances, his pupils suddenly shrank!

"Here is the savior!" When Zhang Tianliu looked at the "cigarette" sign hanging under the eaves of the shop, he immediately rushed downstairs excitedly, ran to the opposite side to push away the crowd, and said to the store: "Boss, bring me a pack of cigarettes. , no, I want as much as I want!"

This grocery store does have many earthly gadgets, such as playing cards, mahjong, Pai Gow, sifting cups and other gambling equipment. In addition, there are Go, chess, beast chess, little books, comic books and other things to kill time. But the only thing that caught Zhang Tianliu's eye was cigarettes!

Although he is wealthy, he can only have one serving at a time!

There are two types of cigarettes, one is a bit low, has no filter, and is packaged in a paper tube.

The other one looks high-end. The cigarette box is made of a beautifully carved wooden box. The cigarette making process is obviously better, and it has an independent filter made of jade.

Both cigarettes are produced in the same place, named Jiuzhou brand!

This **** store learned hunger marketing from nowhere, and Zhang Tianliu almost lost his temper. He only sold one tube of Kyushu Cloud Mist and two boxes of Kyushu Cloud.

Back at the inn, I first smoked the second-rate Yunwu, and then the good Yunxiao. After a comparison, sure enough, the good one is good, with a pure taste, and the second-rate one is actually not bad at all, and can compete with the ten-dollar one.

It's several times more expensive, but it's better than nothing, not to mention that transportation in this world is slow and dangerous, Zhang Tianliu understands that.

He not only understands but also admires those who risk their lives to benefit mankind!

"Don't die too early!" Zhang Tianliu held the jade in his mouth and leaned leisurely on the sofa, looking at the thick fog outside the window and the ice crystals falling like rain, feeling very comfortable.

"What's the point of drawing a pair? I'll teach you how to fight the landlord."

After Zhang Tianliu smoked a few cigarettes, he came to the side of the girls.

Although there were nine people, there was only one pair of poker cards, so the six of them could only stare at Zhang Tianliu teaching Hong Jue and Ah Qi to play cards.

Zhang Tianliu beat the two little farmers almost to tears as the plane bombed.

"This time it's sixteen times. You two owe me a total of six gold and four silver. Are you still coming?"

"Come on!" Ah Qi's stubbornness broke out again.

Hongjue smiled, as if she would accompany him to the end.

Zhang Tianliu stayed with them all afternoon. During this period, several girls took turns to fight. Unfortunately, Mu Wan couldn't see it, so she could only worry about it.

Zhang Tianliu is very considerate. In order for Mu Wan to play with everyone, he bought mahjong and taught it for most of the night. It was not easy for them to master it all. Well, he has nothing to do. Who wants the eight sisters to have exactly two As for the table, you can play mahjong, and Mu Wan enjoys playing it. Everyone takes care of her and doesn't secretly change the cards.

Early the next morning, Zhang Tianliu got up and saw the girls still playing, so he said: "You guys play, I'll find some business to do, otherwise the whole family will eat me up in the blink of an eye."

The girls don't follow Zhang Tianliu all the time these days. Everyone needs private space, and they do the same. Sometimes they go out alone.

Putting on his bamboo hat, Zhang Tian went out, but instead of looking for any business, he went to the west of the town.

There are more people in Zhenxi, and many people are forming gangs, planning to go on adventures to the ruins together.

Zhang Tianliu is weak and inexperienced, so naturally he doesn’t want to go alone.

Unfortunately, they are not stupid. Team formation also depends on strength. The requirements are not high. First, you have to get some sleep!

What kind of cultivation level does Zhang Tianliu have? He seems to have the ability to open up the awakening, but in fact, his level of Qi is less than one-third of the first level of opening up the awakening!

To put it simply, his cultivation level within two years was achieved by eating a lot of medicated food in Lianshan. Normal cultivation would probably only take two months. After all, the method he cultivated had huge flaws. Find Shuyuanｗｗｗ .zhaoshuyuan.comｍThe energy in Dantian cannot move too fast, otherwise it will explode!

It's not that he doesn't want to change the method, it's just that he wants to open up the meridians throughout his body.

"Brother, are you interested in joining us?" Someone finally spoke to Zhang Tianliu.

Zhang Tianliu turned around and saw that a middle-aged strong man was leading three young people.

Two men and two women, the men look like father and son, and the women look like young twins, quite beautiful.

"I'm just here to do some odd jobs, and I haven't cultivated enough to sleep yet." Zhang Tianliu was very honest.

"We are looking for people like little brother." The middle-aged strong man said with a smile.

Zhang Tianliu nodded. The middle-aged man was very happy. After introducing both parties, he went to find some guys that no one wanted.

After a round, he summoned a total of eight people, including Zhang Tianliu's four, there were twelve people.

"The ugly talk is ahead. You are not strong enough. Don't think about getting any benefits. Once you enter, follow my arrangements. You are not allowed to hide the antiques you find, otherwise you can come back by yourself!"

"How much is the commission?" A young man who looked younger than Zhang Tianliu asked very wisely.

"If you do odd jobs, you can smoke one, and if you sleep, you can smoke three. If you have any complaints, leave now." The middle-aged man said.

The one percent commission sounds small, but in fact it is quite a lot. If you are lucky, you will get a priceless antique, and everyone can get thousands of gold. Of course, this kind of treasure hunting The chance is extremely small, and if you really encounter it, it will be even more dangerous!

Most people are satisfied if they can earn more than ten dollars.

Those who are still in their teens and haven’t slept yet, their families are basically poor, ten bucks for a trip is a lot of money, and they don’t need to take the lead when danger arises, it’s all the leader’s business.

After the group's discussion was completed, the leader Chai Dahu waved his hand, and everyone followed him into the fog.
