Chapter 182 alive
When Peng Mingge came back, Zhou Zhenyun felt the sound of breaking through the air from afar. But what he didn't expect was that Yuan Peng actually came back alone. Since Peng Mingge failed to catch the Fengyan Fox, he has become increasingly dissatisfied with Peng Mingge. No matter how trusted Peng Mingge before, Peng Mingge has been sure to wear at least one hat that is not good at doing things this time.
Peng Mingge is really true. Do those hunters also have the cultivation level of the sixth level of internal strength? Cangji Forest is so big, so he is not worried that those hunters will not be able to find it here?
"Second Master, I met Lu Cheng. This kid is extremely rude and doesn't take the Zhou family seriously at all." The evil man Peng Mingge complained first. As long as he angered Zhou Zhenyun, he could kill Lu Cheng at will. It is easy to kill an internal force level seven in the late stage.
"What's going on?" Wu Ruyan asked dissatisfiedly when she saw Peng Mingge's eyes rolling around. She knew the mentality of these people very well. For the sake of her own selfish desires, she was willing to stir up trouble and talk nonsense. If she wanted to be rude, I'm afraid Peng Mingge would be even more rude than Lu Cheng.
"Those hunters were unwilling to come and help. When I was persuading me, Lu Cheng appeared. He spoke rudely, ridiculed the Zhou family for doing such a thing, and asked for help. Moreover, he also said that as long as we were willing to pay 10,000 silver, he could help us catch a Fengyan fox within three days." Peng Mingge said hesitantly under Wu Ruyan's stern gaze.
"Ten thousand taels of silver? Lu Chengzhen dared to speak loudly!" Zhou Zhenyun felt an uncontrollable anger and rushed up from the bottom of his heart and rushed to his forehead.
"Lu Cheng took the initiative to help us before, but you think that someone was in the way, now it's okay!" Wu Ruyan said coldly. Although she didn't know where Lu Cheng got the confidence. But she felt that Lu Cheng seemed to be able to do it. Moreover, Lu Cheng did propose that he was willing to help, but Peng Mingge didn't know what he thought at the time and did not accept it.
"I don't know where Lu Cheng got the confidence, he said. If he couldn't catch the Fengyan Fox within three days, he would be willing to pay us 10,000 taels." Peng Mingge did not dare to say more about this matter. He immediately changed the topic.
"It seems that Lu Cheng is very sure. You don't have the ability to catch the wind flame fox, so you have to stop others from helping you!" Zhou Zhenyun was reminded by Wu Ruyan and also exuded his anger on Peng Mingge.
Yes. Lu Cheng once offered to help, but Peng Mingge insisted on driving him away. A great opportunity was because Peng Mingge slipped away in vain. Of course, he frowned at the time, and Peng Mingge drove people away so naturally he wouldn't mention it.
"I didn't expect it." Peng Mingge lowered his head and lowered his head in front of his master. It would be meaningless for him to refute it any more.
"I will settle the debt with you when I go back!" Zhou Zhenyun said hatefully, because Peng Mingge said that he would lose 10,000 taels of silver now. This made him extremely depressed.
The three of them rushed to the village immediately. Although Peng Mingge had been running for more than two hours, he did not dare to complain. He left in the morning, and now he went back, it was almost evening when he arrived. Although Peng Mingge was tired and hungry, he still had to quickly find Lu Cheng and other hunters. Zhou Zhenyun had a noble status. It was a great honor for these people to come to this poor mountain valley.
Lu Cheng was having a meal at Niu Dali's house. Today, Lu Cheng's practice can be said to have helped them a lot. Niu Dali naturally took Lu Cheng back home and treated him enthusiastically. Lu Cheng chatted with Niu Dali and was already very clear about the situation of Fengyan Fox. Lu Cheng had known that Fengyan Fox was very precious before, but he didn't expect it to be so precious.
Especially the brain of Fengyanhu is actually a good medicine to strengthen the spirit and nourish the brain. For example, Niu Niu, if he can eat Fengyanhu's brain, he may return to normal.
"Lu Cheng, I heard you can catch the Fengyan Fox?" Zhou Zhenyun squeezed a smile on his face when he saw Lu Cheng appear. It would be a pity if there were traces of Fengyan Fox but he could not take them back.
"Master Zhou, did you bring the money?" Lu Cheng didn't want to say much to Zhou Zhenyun. Since they like to use money to solve the problem, it would be as he wished.
"I came to Cangji Forest, how could I bring so much silver? Moreover, a Fengyan Fox doesn't seem to be worth ten thousand taels, right? It's fate that you and I can get to know each other here. What do you think of 1,500 taels?" Zhou Zhenyun said with a smile.
"Five thousand taels." Lu Cheng felt that his fate with Zhou Zhenyun had already ended, otherwise he would have helped Zhou Zhenyun hunt a Fengyan fox before, and he would have no money.
"One thousand eight hundred taels." Zhou Zhenyun said.
"Three thousand taels." said Lu Cheng.
"Two thousand taels."
"make a deal!"
Lu Cheng asked Niu Dali that their annual income was only twenty or thirty taels. Moreover, they had to use this money to buy necessities of daily necessities. Every year, they could not save much money. One thousand taels were indeed an astronomical figure for them. Moreover, someone had hunted the Fengyan Fox before, but was acquired by someone, which was only five hundred taels of silver.
"Lu Cheng, can you really catch the Fengyan Fox within three days?" Wu Ruyan asked. It is indeed a bit expensive to spend 2,000 taels of silver to buy a Fengyan Fox, but it is still worth it if Zhou Zhenyun takes it back in person. Zhou Zhenyun's mother has been a little confused in recent years. If she has Fengyan Fox's brain, it may be better.
"After your silver comes here, I will definitely capture the Fengyan Fox within three days." Lu Cheng said firmly.
"Thank you, this Fengyan Fox is very important to you Uncle Zhou. Look at this, is it good? I asked Peng Mingge to go back to get the money. You can set off now, so that everyone will not waste time." Wu Ruyan knew that Lu Cheng was not a person who was short of money. The reason why he asked for 2,000 taels was probably because of his unhappiness before.
"Yes, but I also have a requirement that part of the silver should be replaced with food, salt, and wine." Lu Cheng said.
Lu Cheng planned to give these things to Niu Dali and the others. The people here live a very hard life, and he also wanted to stay in the hot spring behind the mountain for a while and needed to establish a good relationship with them. There is that special substance in the hot spring that can improve his cultivation. He naturally won't miss such a good opportunity.
"Yes, how much do you want to buy?" Wu Ruyan nodded. The silver here is really useless.
"Buy two hundred taels of silver first." Lu Cheng didn't think much and said casually. Whether he was in Songjiazhuang, Datong County, or in Mingtong City and Tianhua City, he was not very clear about the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. If you look at the consumption level of Baoqinglou, it seems that there is not too much for two hundred taels of silver.
"Two hundred taels of silver, are you sure?" Wu Ruyan asked dumbfoundedly.
"Confirm. Just buy 100 taels of silver rice, 50 taels of silver each and bar." Lu Cheng nodded. There was indeed a lot of salt for fifty taels of silver, but Lu Cheng now has a salt deficiency phobia.
Besides, salt can be preserved for a long time, so what's the harm in buying more? It seems that there are a lot of wine for fifty taels of silver, but everyone here likes to drink, which is his little intention. Although Wu Ruyan's expression made him know that his decision might be wrong, he would never show weakness on this issue.
Peng Mingge believed that Lu Cheng deliberately retaliated against him. There were only a few carriages that could be transported back. Originally, this place was far away from Dinghe City, and how much time would it take to pull so many things? But Wu Ruyan had agreed, and he had no choice.
After Peng Mingge left, Lu Cheng was about to catch Fengyan Fox. But Niu Dali proposed to take people with him. Although Niu Dali had good intentions, Lu Cheng could only refuse.
"Brother Niu, you really don't have to go." Lu Cheng said with a wry smile. He didn't give Niu Dali any more chance to speak. He turned to the top Zhou Zhenyun: "By the way, are you going to die or live?"
"If it's alive, I can add another 500 taels." Zhou Zhenyun said in surprise. The Fengyan Fox is extremely difficult to capture, and there are even fewer living Fengyan Foxes. Moreover, the brains of the living Fengyan Fox are much better than those of death. If Lu Cheng could catch the living Fengyan Fox, even if he really made him pay ten thousand silver, he wouldn't care.
"Okay, the deal is completed." Lu Cheng said.
"Lu Cheng, you must have a helper. Others don't have to go, but I have to go with you." Niu Dali said stubbornly. He just wanted to help Lu Cheng. If Lu Cheng couldn't find Feng Yanhu, he might be able to help.
"Brother Niu, it's really no need. You just need to lend me a cage or cloth bag." Lu Cheng said sincerely.
"I still know Cangji Forest very well. Don't worry, I will never cause trouble for you." Niu Dali quickly went home and picked up a rice bag and an iron cage. No matter what, he must help Lu Cheng.
Niu Dali was so stubborn that Lu Cheng had no choice but to agree. Niu Dali didn't know that he had to follow him, which was already causing trouble for Lu Cheng.
"Lu Cheng, can I follow me and observe it?" Zhou Zhenyun said suddenly.
"Whatever." Lu Cheng said without comment.
"I'll go too." Wu Ruyan said, she was also very curious, not knowing how Lu Cheng would capture Fengyan Fox.
Lu Cheng just glanced at her and didn't say anything, so he pulled Niu Dali away. It was still early and it was not dawn when he arrived there. Lu Cheng didn't plan to take action when Feng Yanhu came out to play.
After midnight, Lu Cheng pulled Niu Dali and ran all the way. After Niu Dali set out on the road, he realized that although he had the third level of internal strength, it was not worth mentioning in front of Lu Cheng. If Lu Cheng had not pulled him, his speed would have been more than twice as slow. Moreover, in the dark Cangji Forest, Lu Cheng seemed to be more familiar with the environment than himself, and he had no stagnation when walking.
Zhou Zhenyun followed behind and secretly praised him. He has taken this route several times, but he is not very clear about some paths. It seems that in addition to his high talent in martial arts cultivation, Lu Cheng is also a genius hunter.
