Chapter 972 Don't Listen to Whispers
Nie Xiaochun shook her head, "Flying posts are worth more than a thousand gold pieces. Moreover, the difficulty of the task is extremely high. Otherwise, it wouldn't have become a task that the Underworld couldn't recover. As for the specific reason, I don't understand."
Qing Ming smiled, "Normally, if a Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren fails to execute a secret order from the Yin Division, the task will be taken back by the Underworld and reassigned to another Jie Ming Ren. Tasks of the same level that fail five times in a row will be promoted to the next level. But..."
Qing Ming pointed to the flying post with his hand and said, "If a task is only half done, and the Jie Ming Ren himself becomes an escaped earth soul, then this task can't be recovered."
I tapped the table a few times with my fingers: "Are you saying that the flying post task is actually about fighting the earth soul of the Jie Ming Ren?"
"Haha..." Qing Ming laughed, "This is the answer you should be looking for, not me to give you."
Qing Ming stood up and said, "My master said that she chose the flying post task for the sake of fairness."
"You can get the corresponding reward if you complete the task, and my master doesn't want your life if you don't complete the task."
"The master doesn't want to have any grudges with your Two Worlds Hall either."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Understood!" I asked, "What is the time limit for the task?"
Qing Ming said, "The master said that there is no time limit for the task. As long as you are not in a hurry, you don't have to do it even in this lifetime. However, you are the one who is in a hurry now, not my master. Goodbye."
Qing Ming cupped his fist and turned to walk out. When he reached the door, he stopped again, "The master asked me to tell you: whoever is next to Ling will be in danger."
After Qing Ming cupped his fist again, he strode away.
I looked at the place where Qing Ming disappeared and said, "This Qing Tang is a bit interesting! Do you think Qing Tang is her real name?"
As I spoke, I spread out the human skin contract: there was indeed a person's name signed on it, but the other party used ancient witchcraft characters. No matter how I looked at it, I didn't think it was Qing Tang.
Old Liu smiled and said, "Qing Ming, Qing Tang? Maybe they are both servants. Lord, what are you going to do with this task?"
I said in a deep voice, "Jun Jixue, Lin Xian has already left. Ling must stay here to recuperate during this time. Besides Yun Shang and Black Night Owl, I must ensure that we have an equal number of people to ensure Ling's safety. Senior Sister, Feng Ruoxing, all of you stay."
"I, Ye Yang, Lin Zhao, and Xiao Ying will go on this mission."
Old Liu nodded, "That's good too. Leaving Family Head Feng and Butcher Wang will at least provide backup. By the way, what do you think of Wang Xiaohuan?"
I raised my eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
Old Liu lowered his voice, "According to the rules of White Lantern Gate, Wang Xiaohuan will be leaving to make a living on his own in another month. Do you think it's time for Two Worlds Hall to recruit people?"
I blinked, "How low can you push the salary?"
Old Liu smiled and said, "As long as Butcher Wang cooperates, I guarantee that I can buy an old mountain ginseng for the price of a large green radish. Moreover, no salary increase for ten years, no vacation for ten years, what do you think?"
"Cough, cough..." I coughed twice, "You can handle it! Let's not be too immoral, appropriately increase the price a bit, we should at least use the price of buying carrots, right?"
Old Liu smiled and gave me an "ok" sign. Wang Xiaohuan also walked in, "What are you talking about? Why are you smiling so strangely?"
I straightened my face and said, "It's nothing, nothing, it's men's private talk, you better not listen, it won't do you any good."
I quickly stood up, "Ye Yang, pack your things, let's go."
After I got in the car, I handed the task to Ye Yang, "See if you have any special feelings."
After Ye Yang read the information, he frowned, "Is this all the information there is? Send Hua Lianqing from Beishui Town back to the Underworld. Is there no follow-up?"
I nodded, "It's because it's too simple that people can't get started."
"When I was packing my equipment, I checked Beishui Town. It has been developed into a tourist area and renamed Beishui Ancient Town. The promotion says that it is a complete restoration of the original Beishui Town."
"The information that Nie Xiaochun found is that before Beishui Ancient Town was developed, it was barren land for hundreds of miles, and there was no town at all."
"This means that either we are looking in the wrong place, or Beishui Town existed too early, so early that all the literature has been omitted."
I paused, "I plan to split into two groups, one to enter the town to find Hua Lianqing's whereabouts, and the other to find the developer of Beishui Town. Since he came up with the gimmick of Beishui Ancient Town, there must be a reason."
"I suggest you take Lin Zhao with you. Lin Zhao is much smarter than you, and can help you make decisions at critical times."
Ye Yang said, "I'll take Xiao Ying into Beishui Ancient Town. You go find the developer."
I turned to look at Xiao Ying. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about Xiao Ying.
It's not because Xiao Ying's strength is not good, but because her preferred weapons, the long spear and the big bow, are all about wide-open fighting styles. Beishui Ancient Town is a tourist area, and it's not suitable for her to take her weapons in grandly, and it's not convenient to fight.
