No one spoke... This kind of monster has a magical source hidden inside, which is almost equivalent to a poisonous snake that you carry with you. No matter how powerful it is, it will be unbearable when it backfires.
More importantly, if no one takes over, it may not be possible to give it away even if you want to.
Who would want this kind of thing
As for hooking the hand, the hand and the arm are separated, hooking the foot, the foot and the body are separated, hooking the head, the head and the neck are separated... It sounds amazing.
But wouldn’t it be just as effective if I use a sword to chop off hands, feet, and head
Seeing that everything around him was quiet, the man in the two-horned devil mask let out a long sigh.
Suddenly, a voice sounded softly: "I want it!"
When everyone looked, they saw the thin woman with messy hair sitting on the grass, who had not spoken a word and was almost forgotten.
The woman's grey dress was dirty and worn. She sat cross-legged on the grass, her eyes seemed to be able to shine through her messy hair. When you don't look at her, it's easy to forget her existence, but once you look at her, you feel a creepy feeling.
Her voice was soft and hoarse at the same time. Unlike the hoarseness that one puts on purpose to hide one's true tone, this hoarseness like a knife scraping against stone was not disguised, but her true voice.
"You want it?" The man in the double-horned devil mask seemed hesitant. "Do you really want it?"
His voice was filled with a hint of guilt, and he couldn't help but say, "Girl, you'd better think it over. Once you get your hands on it, it will always follow you, and you won't be able to get rid of it. Every night when you fall asleep, you will have nightmares about its existence, dreams about people whose hands and feet were cut off or whose lives were taken away by it in the past, dreams about..."
"I want it!" The thin woman was a little impatient. She fumbled and took out a copper coin from her dirty pocket and threw it to the man.
The man in the double-horned devil mask slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took it, then walked towards the thin woman step by step, came to her solemnly and ceremoniously, held the whole box, and handed it to her.
The thin woman took the box and put it on her back.
When the man turned around and returned to his original place, he looked much more relaxed.
The thin woman who bought the farewell hook was still sitting on the grass with her head down: "I want to sell a small thing." She shook her sleeves.
An ugly, dark golden toad jumped out of her sleeve. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
Taoist Master Tie Yu suddenly asked, "How much do you want to sell it for?"
Everyone was thinking that this toad was ugly with bumps all over its body, and they didn't know what kind of weird thing it was.
The immortal materials needed for the Taoist external elixir do not seem to include this thing. Once it reached the grass, it just jumped around. It is not a magic weapon at all.
Unexpectedly, the fat man on the other side started asking the price directly.
The thin woman seemed a little hesitant. After thinking for a long time, she said unconfidently, "One hundred taels?" She seemed afraid that she had bid too high.
Taoist Tieyu said, "Deal!" and asked the owner of Hongqiu to transfer one hundred taels to the woman.
The dark golden toad jumped back and forth. The thin woman fumbled in her arms and took out a piece of extremely dirty rag. "This one is for you, too."
Taoist Tieyu said, "No need!" He walked to the dark gold toad, took out a small pair of pliers, and picked up the toad directly.
The thin woman said "Oh" and put the rag back.
Everyone was confused and had no idea what it was. Anyway, a transaction was completed in this strange way.
At this point, most people have completed the transaction.
It was the turn of the girl wearing the dragon lady mask. She said directly, "I am selling a magic weapon, the Moon Twisted Ring, which has the divine crystal 'Yin Cha Star' inside. It can be used once a day and can distort the space around you for a short period of time. However, there are only four uses left."
The Yuecuo Ring was originally snatched away by Shi Hao at that time, but since they had reconciled, Shi Hao naturally returned it to her. However, she bit it hard when he returned it to her. After all, she remembered the bullying she had suffered from him.
The girl in the dragon girl mask lowered her voice and said, "Just sell it for ten taels of silver."
On the other side, the woman in black looked at the jade ring she took out and was obviously stunned for a moment, then she looked at the girl in the dragon girl mask in surprise.
At this moment, Du Yuejiao felt a little scalp-tingling, knowing that she had been recognized. But she had to take out something to sell, but she had nothing else worth selling.
Then he thought that he was guilty and the other party was probably even more guilty than him. So he raised his head and looked at the woman in black clothes.
The woman's eyes turned panicked...
Chapter 141 Give You a Chance
Although it only has four uses left, it is still a magic weapon anyway.
It’s only ten taels of silver, which is almost like giving it away for free!
After all, magic weapons can save lives when necessary. No one would be unwilling to spend ten taels of silver to buy something that can save lives.
So the man with the bull-head mask quickly asked for the purchase.
This man stayed here relying on the news that "Sheng Menghui is Hong Lei Chi's disciple". He never bought anything else during the transaction. He just spent ten taels of silver here to buy a magic weapon which didn't have many uses left, and then took out some change stingily.
It was obvious that he didn't have much money and just came to the Red Hill Fair to watch the fun.
However, Sheng Menghui's background has not yet spread in the martial arts world. He was able to learn the news from the Dark Thunder Society first. It seems that he has some close relationship with the Dark Thunder Society, and he may even be a member of the Dark Thunder Society.
As the transaction was concluded, the surroundings became quiet.
Behind the big red gauze curtain, the old voice said gloomily: "Do you have any other business, or do you have any other requests?"
Just at this moment, Shi Hao took a step forward.
It was very mysterious that when he took a step forward, almost everyone subconsciously looked at him.
Originally, the surroundings had become quiet, and it was natural for him to move forward alone and attract attention.
But they knew very well that this felt completely different.
It seemed that the moment he stepped out, the entire world darkened, leaving only the place where he stood bright.
It was impossible to understand what kind of situation this was, but the reality was so strange. Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on him.
The young man wore a "Bi'an" mask and a blue gown. His eyes were as sharp as a knife and his voice was deep and powerful: "I want to give you an opportunity to invest."
The man in the tiger mask couldn't help but ask, "Invest in what?"
The young man in the Bi'an mask said: "Me!"
The man in the tiger mask was surprised: "You?"
The young man wearing the Bi'an mask said in a deep voice: "Yes! Me!"
He stood with his hands behind his back, quietly practicing the Sacred Heart Mirror Technique while releasing his profound energy, completely capturing the confused, surprised, and questioning eyes of the crowd.
The sword intent radiated, and in the eyes of everyone, he was like a sword that could break through the sky and earth and pierce the unknown road, so confident and so sharp.
He was just standing there, but he exuded an astonishing aura. At that moment, they felt as if this man had become the center of the entire universe.
There was an indescribable touch in their hearts.
The thin woman sitting on the ground with her messy hair draped in front of her looked up, her mouth open, looking a little stunned.
The woman in black forced herself to look away from him and towards the girl in the dragon mask opposite her, only to see that girl turning towards the young man with her starry eyes shining with admiration.
The young man in the Bi'an mask said, "Believe me, this is an opportunity! If you want to make a difference in this era, if you want to have a broader stage and a limitless future, please stay here after the meeting. I will give you a chance."
Having said this, he stepped back.
As he retreated, the brightness gradually dimmed.
The stagnant time seemed to start flowing again.
However, the scene at that moment was already deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
He just stood up and said a few words, but they seemed to have seen the beginning of a new world.
The surroundings fell silent again. After a while, an old voice from behind the red curtain slowly rang out: "If there is nothing else, then let's adjourn."
—
After the Hongqiu meeting ended, a total of four people stayed.
That old man with a human skin mask and a hunched back!
A tall and thin man wearing a double-horned devil mask!
A woman with messy hair and wearing a dirty and worn gray dress sitting on the grass.
The fat Taoist Tieyu wearing a "prison ox" mask.
Behind the big red gauze curtain, the hazy shadow still remains there.
The hunchbacked old man coughed twice, then looked up at the young man and asked, "How do you want us to invest in you?"
Shi Hao took off his mask and his blue robe and threw it aside.
He looked around and said bluntly: "My surname is Shi, and my Taoist name is Chongyunzi! This place is close to Bashan Mountain and Han River, and I believe everyone understands the current situation."
"The Hanyang Gang is ruthless and has grown rapidly. It has already taken control of the upper reaches of the Han River. The gang leader Huang Facai has a strange background and is very likely a member of the Demon Sect. At this moment, the Hanyang Gang is forming the so-called Hanshui League and forcing Bashan Jiuzhai to join. If the Hanyang Gang occupies Bashan Jiuzhai and unifies Bashan and Hanshui, once the world is in chaos, the land of Bashu will be under their control, and Daxing City will be difficult to protect."
"But it is also because the Hanyang Gang's methods are too cruel. Although they have grown rapidly through these cruel methods, people are not convinced. Now is a good opportunity. I want to go to Bashan and unite with Bashan Jiuzhai to help Bashan Jiuzhai fight against the Hanyang Gang."
"This is an opportunity. With Bashan in hand, we can advance with Hanshui and Xiangjiang as the center and advance north to Hanzhong. We can retreat and take Western Shu first and wait and see the chaos in the Central Plains."
The old man asked, "How strong are you?"
Shi Hao said: "Sixth rank!"
The old man asked, "How many people do you have now?"
Shi Hao pointed to the left: "She!" and pointed to the right: "She!"
Although he was wearing a thick human skin mask, the hunchbacked old man's ridiculous expression was still hard to hide: "Sixth rank? You know, any local tyrant who dominates a county is probably at the sixth rank, and the leader of a gang that can dominate several counties is probably at the fifth rank or above.
"The leader of the Hanyang Gang, Huang Facai, is a fifth-rank official, and he has the Demon Sect behind him, but you are only a sixth-rank official."
"He has countless men and you only have two girls by your side. He is already powerful, and you are still recruiting people here. You want us to invest in you, go to Bashan with you, and become the enemy of the entire Hanyang Gang?"
Taoist Tieyu, the man in the two-horned mask, and the thin girl sitting on the grass all looked at Shi Hao at this moment, as if they were watching a joke.
Shi Hao, however, put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly: "Because I am only a sixth-rank cultivator now, and because I am currently short of manpower, now is the best opportunity for you to invest in me.
"This is the time when I need help the most. If you follow me now, I will not treat you unfairly in the future. When I become famous and make a sensation in the martial arts world, I will be surrounded by talented people. If you come to me again, it will be too late. By then, I will no longer need you."
Looking at his serious and earnest expression, looking at his suddenly radiating imposing aura.
The old man murmured, "Should I say that you are overconfident, or should I say that you look down on the heroes of the world? You have no strength, and no troops, but you rely on a few words to make people put their lives on your shoulders. Unfortunately, time waits for no one. Who knows how long it will take for you to become famous and make a sensation in the martial arts world?"
Shi Hao said solemnly: "Trust me, it won't be long!"
The old man laughed and said, "Well, I am just an old man who is not wanted by anyone, so I will go with you. I want to see why you are so arrogant at such a young age."
As he spoke, his voice became much sharper. He stretched out his hand and took off the human skin mask on his face. He looked sharp-nosed and monkey-faced. His waist was straighter and his body seemed much smaller.
Beside Shi Hao, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly shouted, "Old monkey, it's you!"
Shi Hao looked over and found that the old man who called himself "old man" seemed like a different person at this moment. He was about fifty years old and not as old as he looked just now.
He smiled and said, "My name is Hou Bomin, I am only a seventh-rank official, and I have managed to get a name for myself as a 'monkey thief' among the lower nine classes. I have been crawling around at the bottom of the underworld all my life, and I have no future. Since you want to give me a chance to make a name for myself, I will seize this opportunity and see if I can really make a name for myself."
Shi Hao nodded seriously: "You won't be disappointed."
Then he looked at the other three.
The man with the double-horned ghost mask took a deep breath, took off his mask, and said, "I am He Guangtao, also a seventh-rank. The leader of the Panzhai in Bashangou, He Ya, is my uncle. Since you are willing to help the Bashan Jiuzhai fight against the Hanyang Gang, then I will follow you and go through fire and water. Just follow your orders."
The woman in the gray skirt slowly stood up and brushed back her messy hair, revealing an oval face.
In fact, her face shape is not bad, but her black hair is messy, her clothes are dirty, and she has dark circles under her eyes from not sleeping for who knows how long, which makes her look quite strange: "They... all call me... Mushroom! Sixth-grade!"
Sounds like a name that could be used to make soup!
But it was surprising that there was a sixth rank. Shi Hao looked at her: "Miss Xianggu, are you willing to follow me too?"
Shiitake raised his head and rubbed his dirty hands. His black eyes were hazy and he looked very sleepy. "You are interesting! I am boring!"
Shi Hao nodded... This reason is very reasonable!
Looking to the other side, Taoist Tieyu chuckled and said, "I won't follow you. If you need any business like blacksmithing, sword-making, alchemy, etc., you can come to me." He turned and floated away.
Shi Hao didn't say much, and said to the master of Hongqiu: "Thank you for borrowing the land."
He turned around and said, "Let's go!" and walked away.
The others followed.
Inside, Du Yuejiao and Xu Xiaoyan were actually a little stunned.
They really didn't expect that Shi Hao would do this, in a place like this, relying on a few words like "I will be very powerful in the future" to recruit people, and some people were actually recruited.
Don’t tell me, originally they had one sixth-grade and two seventh-grade, but after a trip here, they became two sixth-grade and four seventh-grade… Their strength doubled.
After they left, the old voice in the big red tent gradually became gentle: "What an interesting young man, with such a magnanimous demeanor, even I want to see the day when he will make a sensation in the martial arts world in the future. Hmm... maybe, a proper investment is not a bad thing!"
Shi Hao took Du Yuejiao, Xu Xiaoyan, Hou Boming, He Guangtao and Xianggu out of the wild Zen forest and went outside.
