Shennong Sequence

Chapter 186: The struggling Ma Wenchao, the longevity fruit being fought over, and Tu Qi who won the top spiritual beauty

"Yes, we are gathered here with some plans to form a team."

"Yes, it is a good thing to be able to collect spiritual beauty. But if someone attacks you halfway and you lose both your money and your life, that would be very painful."

For a moment, everyone in the crowd started talking, or looking for more stable friends to form a team to avoid going out alone to look for Lingxiu.

After Zhao Yun and his thirty-odd brothers formed a team, he said:
“I don’t know how much food you brothers brought into the sacred mountain, but I think after three to five days, a lot of food must have been consumed.

I brought some spiritual food from the kitchen of this mountain temple. Please take a look. If you need any, you can take some."

"Haha, Brother Zhao, you've got the right gift! I thought there would be a lot of game in these blessed places, so I even went out to learn how to grill meat.

I really didn't expect that my mouth and tongue were almost blistered just from eating those barbecues these days!
Really, if you only eat one thing, it’s fresh at first, but you’ll get sick of it if you eat too much…”

Suddenly, many people expressed the same feeling!

Then he took the spiritual food that Zhao Yun had distributed from the mountain temple.

Of course, there were also a few experienced friends whose families were already relatively well-off, who did not rush to snatch the food from others...

After Zhao Yun reminisced about the past with his friends, he also learned a little about some major events in Lingshan.

For example:
Previously, the tyrannical Young Master Qin and his group robbed another group of Lin family of the top-grade spiritual treasure that had just been produced in this mountain: the Longevity Fruit!
And the longevity fruit can at least extend a person's life by more than a hundred years.

In some special cases, this longevity fruit can be compared to the top-level spiritual ones!
Therefore, the two groups now hate each other, and will deliberately trip each other up and attack each other...

In addition, among those civilian monks, there was a man named Tu Qi who was even more powerful!
Someone got a top-notch gift!

It's just that only someone discovered the weather when Tu Qi was picking the top-level spiritual beauty, but no one knew what kind of top-level spiritual beauty was in that weather.

Because after Tu Qi picked the top-grade spiritual fruits, he disappeared into the vast mountains.

Even to the Mountain God Square, the safest place every night, Tu Qi did not come.

Obviously, he was afraid of being chased and intercepted by others on the way...

In addition, there is another famous person from aristocratic family: Youyu.

Although Youyu was born into a noble family, he was a lone ranger in the Yanguiling Mountain!
It looks like a ghost, and it is said that it has killed many people in the mountains and forests...

And every time a person is killed, a lotus flower will be carved on the body of the deceased.

Acting in a very secretive way...

Of course, those who are famous at this moment are either those who are at the peak of their killing spree, or those who are involved in the competition between the best or top-level spiritual beings. The rest of the weaklings have no chance of becoming famous at all.

In addition, the person who was talked about the most by everyone in the square was Ma Wenchao, who had been staying in a corner of the Mountain God Square. He was suspected of having robbed the top-notch spiritual items from Master Qin and his group!

Then Ma Wenchao hid here, not daring to go down the mountain and so on.

At the same time, the matter concerning Ma Wenchao was also the most frequently discussed topic among the crowd!
There were even many people who turned their attention to Ma Wenchao.

But Ma Wenchao stayed in the Mountain God Square and refused to go down the mountain, leaving others helpless.

No one dares to kill people and steal treasures in front of this mountain temple.

Zhao Yun learned a little about this information and said hello to his friends. Then, carrying the last bit of spiritual food, he walked through clusters of people and came to Ma Wenchao, who was standing at the edge of the square and was very vigilant.

However, when Zhao Yun brought the hot buns and porridge made from spiritual rice and walked in front of Ma Wenchao, Ma Wenchao was stunned at first.

Ma Wenchao looked at the spiritual food with a dazed look in his eyes, but at the same time he was alert to Zhao Yun!
He was afraid that someone would come to kill him.

Zhao Yun saw Ma Wenchao. Although he was wary of him, Ma Wenchao's eyes kept drifting from time to time, falling on the food he was carrying, and he was in a daze swallowing his saliva...

Zhao Yun knew that this person had not eaten for a while and was now extremely hungry!
However, this Ma Wenchao was a person specially appointed by Jing Da Si Nong to be taken care of by Lin Shan Shen.

Not to mention the possible hidden forces behind Ma Wenchao, just being able to help out with this favor is actually quite good!
At the same time, the people in the square saw Zhao Yun walking towards Ma Wenchao with food, and their eyes focused on him.

Some wanted to see if Zhao Yun could take away the top-level spiritual treasure that Ma Wenchao had snatched.

Some people also want to see whether Zhao Yun’s actions this time are intended to confront the Qin family?
At the same time, Master Qin and his entourage, who were the original source of the conflict with Ma Wenchao, looked at Zhao Yun viciously, both as a warning and also as a fear that Zhao Yun would ruin their plans.

In short, there are tens of thousands of people in the square, and all kinds of ideas will burst out...

But Zhao Yun didn't care what other people in the crowd thought.

Because Zhao Yun is above the group of people who need to fight in the mountains to get Lingxiu!

He is now provided with spiritual energy directly by the God of the Mountain Lin for him to devour and digest.

Naturally, he didn't care what the people in the square could do to him!

"My dear brother, although you are a Confucian, you are now being ostracized by your Confucian friends. I wonder how you feel?"

Zhao Yun put the steamed bun spiritual food on the ground for the time being, then sat next to Ma Wenchao and asked directly.

In addition, Zhao Yun did not say that he would give the food to Ma Wenchao first.

Because giving kindness without any reason always makes people think you are a liar...

These days, no one believes those who tell the truth.

But telling lies with sweet words makes people believe it quickly...

"What can I feel? I can only say that I don't know people well." Ma Wenchao calmed his mind and stopped looking at the food in Zhao Yun's hand. Instead, he stared into Zhao Yun's eyes and then laughed at himself.

"Oh? Didn't you think of exposing your friend's sinister face and taking revenge on him when you return?"

Ma Wenchao felt something when listening to Zhao Yun's fishing talk.

It was as if he was asked to say some bad words on purpose to offend Master Qin again, as well as Liang Shanying, whom he previously thought was his classmate and friend.

But then I thought about it again. Now that I have been forced by this group of people and have no food or water to eat, I will starve to death in this square sooner or later...

What's there to be afraid of?

And just looking at the delicious food in front of me made my stomach move suddenly.

The sound of "Gurgle Gurgle~" burst out. Although it was a bit embarrassing,
But it was also an instinctive reaction of the body, urging his mind and telling his soul: I'm hungry and I want to eat.

"Yes! How could there not be? It's just that I'm now forced to stay in the mountain and I don't even dare to leave this square where the fighting has stopped. I'll starve to death sooner or later without food or water... I'm afraid I won't have the chance to take revenge."

As Ma Wenchao spoke, his hungry eyes drifted over the spiritual food beside Zhao Yun. In the end, he couldn't help but swallow it, and the little dry saliva was left in his dry mouth.

Zhao Yun looked at the way Ma Wenchao licked his lips and saw that he still had some blood in his heart, so he laughed and said:
"It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. I think you have such resilience that you should be able to survive this disaster."

"Besides, I think you have heard of my name. When I go to Guihong City, I will recruit some people. I wonder if you are willing to work under me?"

Ma Wenchao was a little puzzled and asked, "I help you with things? You are from a farming family, and I am from a Confucian family. At most, I can help you with your accounts, or handle some paperwork. I'm afraid I can't help you with anything else, right?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Brother, you are wrong. Everyone has their own uses. You are good enough to manage accounts and handle documents! The key is that if you are sincere in helping me, I can protect you after I take office! You should not suffer any loss in this deal."

"So, what should you choose? If you really want to join me, from today on, I will regularly send you some food every evening. After a month, you can go down the mountain safely."

Ma Wenchao's mind was moved, and he suddenly asked: "What if I don't surrender?"

Zhao Yun stopped playing tricks and said bluntly: "If you don't surrender, I will still send you some food. When the time comes, I want to see what kind of situation will happen after you return to the Shanlu Academy in Hongcheng and the brothers turn against each other..."

Zhao Yun did not directly help Ma Wenchao, but instead provided help with conditions.

Firstly, he wanted to test whether Ma Wenchao was, as he had guessed before, thrown out and raised in poverty by those people from the aristocratic families since he was a child?
Or did you already know your own situation?
Then, we just need to treat these two different situations differently.

“Alas, I have had a hard life since I was a child. If I hadn’t been adopted by the Salesian Hall of the academy, and hadn’t been lucky enough to enter the academy to study and practice, I would have probably died in the cold winter.

Now I have the kindness of General Zhao for this meal, no, it is the kindness of several meals in the future... When General Zhao takes office in Guihongzhou City, I will definitely follow him!"

Ma Wenchao was finally moved by Zhao Yun's words that even if he didn't surrender, he would still be given food!

As for those words about watching the brothers turn against each other, they were just regarded as an excuse to help themselves.

When Zhao Yun heard Ma Wenchao's explanation of his life story, he suddenly understood a little.

Then he gently pushed the buns and spiritual rice porridge in front of him to Ma Wenchao.

"Haha, Brother Ma, let's eat some hot food first."

Ma Wenchao stared at the food in front of him, his eyes flashing with complex light.

This is not just a meal, but also a hope to survive this difficult situation!
Like precious warmth in the cold winter!

Before Ma Wenchao finished eating, Zhao Yun left quietly.

If you want to have a few sincere subordinates, you naturally have to do them some favors before you can accept their help.

And the kindness shown in difficult times is often an important bond between people!
Zhao Yun knew this, so he did not give food directly to Ma Wenchao. Instead, he communicated with him for a few words before lending a helping hand and giving him food.

For example, now, Ma Wenchao started to eat, but Zhao Yun just left...

Afterwards, Ma Wenchao might continue to be slandered by Master Qin and his group.

Then the malice of Master Qin and others would hang over Ma Wenchao like a dark cloud, making him continue to feel suffocated.

Only in the mud and filth can one understand the brilliance of that ray of sunshine shining through the layers of haze.

Afterwards, just as Zhao Yun had expected, Master Qin and his group naturally couldn't bear to see Ma Wen doing so well!
Master Qin hinted with his eyes, and naturally the servants came out.

When the servant walked past Ma Wenchao, he pretended to be careless with an extremely arrogant move, then knocked the bowl out of Ma Wenchao's hand and kicked the basket of buns to the ground...

The buns rolled all over the floor, the porridge spilled out, and the rice bowl was spinning in circles on the floor. This made Ma Wenchao, who was enjoying his meal, feel depressed instantly!

And he was annoyed by the arrogant and ostentatious behavior of the servants around him.

His face flushed red, his eyes burned with anger, and the ink pen in his hand trembled slightly and flashed with light...

When Ma Wenchao was furious and was about to pick up his magic weapon to fight, a dark spirit emitting a cold and sinister aura appeared around him.

The appearance of the Yin God made Ma Wenchao and the servant feel a chill in their hearts.

However, the old servant, seeing that the Yin God did not take any further action, smiled grimly at Ma Wenchao and said:
"Scholar Ma, I'm so sorry for what happened just now! I was walking without paying attention and accidentally knocked your bowl over."

"How about I pick up these dusty buns and this little dusty rice porridge with my hands, and you drink some dust?"

The servant's vile ridicule and provocative attitude made Ma Wenchao almost bite his teeth off, feeling extremely ashamed and angry!

He wanted to rush up immediately and fight this man to the death.

But reason told him not to be impulsive.

Because Ma Wenchao saw the Yin God appearing on the side!
The cold aura and pressure emanating from this Yin God made him feel suffocated, but also calmed him down a lot.

Ma Wenchao thought that if he fought with this man and was punished by the Yin God, he would lose the hope of survival that he had worked so hard to obtain...

Therefore, Ma Wenchao's heart was filled with helplessness and struggle.

He knew he couldn't be impulsive and had to be patient.

But the anger in my heart is still burning.

Pain and entanglement!

Then, the man, who was so angry that his hands were clenched blue and trembling, finally slowly loosened his hands and took the dusty bun from the servant's hand back into his arms.

Then he picked up the bowl that was dropped but not broken on the ground and walked to the other corner of the square.

Then she wiped it, turned around with tear marks on her face, patted the dust off the bun, and continued to swallow it.

live!

No one doesn't want to live!

Ma Wenchao repeated these words silently in his heart.

He knew that only by staying alive would there be hope and a chance to take revenge...
