Chapter 140 There is enormous wealth outside the town!
"..."

Wei Jixian came back to his senses. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he never spoiled anyone's fun, so he pretended to be curious:
"I just saw at least 800 people from the underworld along the way. What could have attracted so many people?"

The fat young man in brocade clothes leaned forward and whispered:
"Four spiritual wonders have appeared in the world."

"..."

Wei Jixian widened his eyes in surprise and said:

"Four Spiritual Wonders?"

"uh-huh."

The fat young man in brocade clothes pointed to the north outside the town:
"Two days ago, an old farmer in the northern barren mountain heard a phoenix cry while collecting herbs. He then led a group of knights into the mountain and saw with their own eyes that a black phoenix was fighting with a human, flattening half of the mountain forest. The remains are still there. Once the news spreads, won't the people from the nearby counties and prefectures flock to the area?"

"..."

When Wei Jixian was stunned by what he heard, the fat young man in brocade clothes took a sip of tea leisurely and said:
"I heard that the fight is still going on. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, if the rumor spreads, maybe even some old monsters will be attracted here. It will be fun then."

He said it casually, but Wei Jixian's heartbeat quickened.

Old monster?

Could it be that the old man and the young man I met yesterday came here just because of this rumor?
If this is true, then the four magical creatures outside Qinghua Town are probably not just rumors, but real facts.

Really...

As a warrior, no one can resist the temptation of the four spiritual objects, but Wei Jixian is not only a warrior but also a smart man.

A wise person knows what's in his heart and naturally knows what belongs to him and what will bring him endless troubles if he gets it. Therefore, this enthusiasm only lasts for a moment and he will recover as soon as he is free.

He subconsciously looked across and asked tentatively:

"Brother Qi, is this also the case -"

"Don't fix it, don't fix it!"

The fat young man in brocade clothes on the opposite side waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly:
"The bigger the pot, the bigger the lid. How big of a man like me who doesn't even know martial arts can covet the Four Spirits' rare items?"

"..."

Wei Jixian felt relieved when he heard this.

It's not that he had any fantasies about the four spiritual objects, but after talking with this young man named Qi for a while, he had developed a certain liking for him and wanted to make friends with him.

As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover. Beneath the other person's naive and honest face that makes people laugh, he is actually sober and calm. He is definitely not an ordinary playboy. Wei Jixian likes to make friends with this kind of people.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately showed his social skills, raised his glass and invited:
"Brother Qi, why do you have to humiliate yourself? With your wisdom, what does it matter if you don't know martial arts? There are many martial artists on the street, and there are many good ones, but in the end, it is people like you who sit on the stage."

After he finished speaking, the fat young man in brocade clothes opposite him immediately smiled and picked up his wine glass and clinked it with his:
"Brother Wei is also a smart man. He is also very handsome and will definitely have an extraordinary future. Come, drink this glass of wine and we will be friends from now on."

Both of them were from prominent families and were not good-for-nothings. They also wanted to make friends with each other, so the atmosphere became increasingly harmonious.

Until sunset, they looked like old friends, but unlike what others saw, they were still quite reserved in their conversation.

The problem mainly lies with the fat young man in brocade clothes.

Most people in the underworld often use aliases when traveling around the world, but if they meet someone with a similar temperament, they will more or less reveal some of their background, so that they can be more easily open to each other.

However, after Wei Jixian had tried several times, he found that this young master Qi was very tight-lipped and did not mention anything about his background.

Generally, when this happens, it's either because the other party actually looks down on you from the bottom of their heart, or because there's something wrong with their background. No matter which one it is, it's obviously not appropriate to continue making friends with them.

The conversation lasted from dusk till dark. Just when Wei Jixian had given up and was thinking of making an excuse to leave, the fat young man named Qi across from him suddenly grabbed his hand and said:

"You are a very interesting person. I really want to make friends with you. Don't leave in a hurry. Let's go to a brothel and listen to some music."

Seeing that he was in high spirits, Wei Jixian could not help but bite the bullet and said:
"Maybe tomorrow. My sister is nowhere to be found right now. I have to find her. Besides, I don't have a penny on me now."

"If you don't have money, what's there to be afraid of?"

The fat young man in brocade clothes smiled and said, "The thing my family has the most is money. Since you have made friends with me, you can treat me like a rich man if you want to eat, drink and have fun with me."

What he said was humorous, but the more he said it, the more Wei Jixian felt that there was something wrong with his background. After hesitating for a while, the other party saw through it, so Mr. Qi slowly let go of his hand and said:

"I forgot you were a smart person...I should have told you earlier."

He pointed at himself and said calmly:
"My identity is indeed a bit problematic. Although I am not a demon, it is still not easy to expose myself to the public. That is why I won't tell you the whole story."

"Now I'm telling you the truth. I won't be here for long, and I only want to be friends with you once. Since you don't want to, let's go our separate ways."

"..."

Having said that, he turned and left with his entourage.

Seeing his frank tone, Wei Jixian also felt a little hesitant. Not to mention that he and the young master Qi did get along well, judging from the other party's final honesty, he was the one who was fussy.

Even though the other party's background may be a little shady, but like he said, today we only met once, and we are all smart people, so we have come to the point.

"Brother Qi, please stay——"

With this thought in mind, Wei Jixian calmly took two steps to catch up and said:

"I was wrong just now, but what I said before was not all excuses. Since we are friends, it is unreasonable for me to let you pay for everything. If you still want to drink with me, let me go back and get some money. I will treat you today."

"..."

The fat young man in brocade clothes turned around, looked at him twice, smiled, and said:
"What else is there to say? Let's go—"

"..."

After talking it out, the atmosphere between the two became better. Wei Jixian let go of his usual guard and took the fat young man in brocade clothes to chat with his sister along the way.

But after searching all the way and visiting all the inns in the town without seeing his own carriage, Wei Jixian felt depressed.

Great!
There are all kinds of people here, and he left on his own before settling Silly Sister down. With the former's mediocre skills, what would he do if he ran into some bully?

Just when he was worried——

"There are too many people from the martial arts world coming to the town these days. The inns in the town are already full. I had to book a room in the brothel to have a place to stay."

The fat young man in brocade clothes said in a soothing voice:

"Your sister can't be lost. Tell me what color clothes she was wearing, and I'll have my followers look for her everywhere."

After hearing what he said, Wei Jixian, who also had the same idea, immediately said:
"My sister is in her early twenties, wearing bright red clothes and a red whip tied around her waist—"

"Brothers! There is great wealth outside this town!"

Wei Jixian had barely spoken a word when a ranger ran over from the front and said to a table:

"The phoenix in the north has come out of the mountain! The people in the mountain saw it flying all the way here and landed in a carriage. It was caught by a woman in a big red dress and a red whip around her waist! Now everyone outside has come to surround her, so let's hurry up! Maybe this opportunity will fall on our brothers!"

"Is this true?!"

"What are you waiting for! As soon as possible--"

"..."

The people at that table, as well as those nearby with sharp ears, immediately stopped eating and drinking. There was even a naked man upstairs who jumped out of the window holding a knife and ran out of the town with his naked butt.

The four spirit wonders appeared in the world, so close to them, so what if it was just a rumor? How many people would wait for such a rumor in their lifetime!

Seeing that everyone was going crazy, the two remaining people were silent for a moment. The fat young man in brocade clothes slowly turned his head and asked, "The person they are talking about, could it be your sister?"

"……hiss."

Wei Jixian took a deep breath and felt like his brain was about to explode.

His silly sister got the Four Spirits Wonderful Items——

These words, which he could never even dream of hearing, now actually reached his ears.

Why is this the time!
If he could choose, Wei Jixian would rather believe that he heard it wrong, or replace the person in the game with himself, so he knew clearly -

With Silly Sister's mediocre kung fu, she can't eat even if her stomach bursts!

"Brother Qi, excuse me!"

Wei Jixian said this and ran out of the town.

After running for a while, Wei Jixian, who had been on edge, didn't hear any footsteps chasing him from behind, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Although it was possible that he had wrongly accused 'Brother Qi', he had no choice at this moment. At a time like this, anyone would be a target of his defense, and 'Brother Qi', with whom he had just made friends, was naturally no exception. Therefore, even though he knew that the more people there were, the greater the chance, he did not dare to drag the other party over with him.

Running out of the town, there were torches and human figures everywhere in the fields. It was already dark. He didn't know what had happened to Silly Sister, or whether Wei Jixian had been captured. He was confused and didn't know which direction to look for her.

"The carriage is coming!"

Hearing the sudden shout, Wei Jixian turned around subconsciously, only to see a carriage coming out of the town being surrounded by a swarm of locust-like figures as soon as it appeared.

"You guys are crazy!"

The people in the carriage shouted to the people around them: "I came out from inside. What you are looking for is outside! I am the only one in the carriage!"

"It's a man—"

"No red clothes!"

The few Jianghu people who jumped onto the carriage and opened the curtain looked at each other, and suddenly raised their swords in unison:

"Kill first and then talk!"

There was a series of teeth-grinding chopping sounds, and the person in the carriage was instantly chopped into several pieces. In the thick smell of blood, the killers chopped for a long time before stopping, and then looked at each other:

"no feelings--"

"Me too--"

"..."

Swah——

After a few words exchanged with each other, it was unknown who made the first move. Several people swung their weapons and attacked each other. In an instant, the sound of swords and weapons could be heard, along with the sounds of chopping meat and cursing.

While the previous companions were killing each other, they were also chopped down by the subsequent foreign enemies. The area near the carriage seemed to have become a battlefield. People kept joining in. Even if they had no idea what was happening inside, they were sure that the thing was on the people inside just by looking at the posture.

As a result, after a while of fighting, the blood on the ground had formed puddles, but no one was willing to stop, and the fighting even seemed to be getting more intense and the battlefield was expanding.

Possessed——

These people in Jianghu are like possessed by evil spirits——

Wei Jixian, who was watching this scene, felt cold all over as if he was immersed in an ice cave. Although he knew the significance of the four spiritual objects to warriors, people's madness was still beyond his imagination.

It was just an illusory strange object, whose existence or non-existence was still unclear, but it could make so many people sacrifice their lives for it. He even saw some indigenous people in the town who had no martial arts skills trying to take advantage of the situation, but they were beheaded before they could get close.

"..."

Wei Jixian, who was sure that the person in the carriage was not Silly Sister, walked deeper into the outside with cold hands and feet, but his heart had already begun to tremble.

At this point in the situation, can the silly sister who was discovered at the first moment really survive?
If something really happened...

How could he have the face to go back and see his parents?
It turns out that the world of martial arts is not as simple as he thought. What his parents taught him, that the world of martial arts cannot be conquered by just a smart brain, is true.

Because no matter how smart you are, you can't guarantee that you won't be swept into such high and fast waves. In a battle where everyone is fighting like crazy, what use is a smart brain?

The steel knife slashed and heads flew up. A smart head fell to the ground and was no different from a stupid head.

Just, I shouldn’t have brought silly sister out.

Wei Jixian felt that there was little hope, so he ran mechanically, tears welling up in his eyes.

There were many figures along the way, but there was no trace of red that he expected to see. There were even people approaching him. Wei Jixian's usual alertness had lost its effect at this moment.

He was distracted—

"Since I have free time..."

A familiar low voice came from the side. Wei Jixian didn't hear it at first. It was not until the person raised his voice a little that he subconsciously turned his head.

"it's me--"

When he came back to his senses, he saw a figure beside him. The figure was wearing a very common, simple grey ranger outfit, with a half piece of black cloth covering his face.
"Your sister—"

She pulled down the black cloth, revealing most of her pretty face that always gave him a headache.

"sister……"

Wei Jixian stopped and was stunned for a moment.

Silly Sister nodded to him and grabbed his sleeve in a hurry:

"Hurry back! Those lunatics are still looking for me! If they find me, your sister will be chopped into pieces!"

"sister……"

Wei Jixian, who suddenly felt like he had found something he had lost, subconsciously hugged it like a child and said:

"I will never leave you alone again."

"roll--"

The woman pushed his face:
"You're so sticky, your sister will have to get married in the future!"

"..."

Knowing that this was not a place to stay for long and that staying any longer would attract attention, Wei Jixian squeezed out the tears from his eyes and then calmly regained his smart brain.

"Then let's go first--"

As he spoke, Wei Jixian restored his nonchalant expression and followed her, while placing his eyes on her shoulder:

"Sister, this person is——"

"I do not know either……"

After returning, the silly sister who inexplicably carried a person on her shoulders spoke in a depressed tone, and even gnashed her teeth:

"She fell from the sky and landed on our car."

"..."
