Chapter 104 The Damned World
Guo Wei was very excited when he heard the promise of Master Tu San. Their escort company was always traveling all year round, and they visited desolate mountains and ancient villages deep in the mountains.
Being able to travel unimpeded will bring immeasurable benefits to the escort agency.
However, Master Tu San's request was not easy to achieve. These were demons! Even if they were taught how to collect herbs, they probably wouldn't have the patience to learn. If they got frustrated and took it out on them, their small bodies wouldn't be able to bear it.
time flies.
Mr. Rabbit, who was originally full of expectations, gradually became gloomy, and his eyes when he looked at Guo Wei were extremely cold.
Facing Master Rabbit's increasingly hostile gaze, Guo Wei's mind raced.
"Have it!"
Seeing that Master Tu San's patience was about to run out, Guo Wei suddenly had an idea.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Master Tu San's face suddenly turned from gloomy to bright, and he asked anxiously.
"Third Master, you can hire those herbalists. Silver is useless to you, but it is life to herbalists. As long as you know the location of old herbs, precious herbs and mountain treasures, you can hire them to help you collect them!"
"According to what the gentleman inside said, it's a win-win situation!"
"The herbalists got the silver, and you got the old herbs and precious mountain delicacies. In this way, the mountain folks will not only no longer be afraid of you, but will also set up tablets for you and burn incense to worship you!"
"Third Master, if time goes on, the Demon Suppression Division will want to deal with you, and those mountain people will help you cover up!"
The more Guo Wei spoke, the more excited he became, and his thoughts became clearer.
"Haha, why didn't I think of that! If we talk about smartness and wisdom, it has to be humans. Monkey monsters are very smart. I heard that they often eat human brains, so they become smart. I wonder if it will be useful for us to eat them!" When Master Tu San heard what Guo Wei said, he burst into laughter, but he went off topic, especially when he talked about eating brains, he stared at Guo Wei's head with an unfriendly look.
"Third Master, you..." Hearing what Third Master Rabbit said, Guo Wei's face turned pale in an instant, and he stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Look at your courage! Don't get scared. If you get scared, the meat will become bitter and will not taste good. Hehehe!" Master Rabbit looked at Guo Wei and said with a strange smile.
"If you don't want to be eaten by me, you have to be there whenever I ask you for advice. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, Third Master, don't worry. As long as you need it, it will be my honor, Little Guozi!" Guo Wei assured again and again, being extremely humble, just like the rabbit facing Zhao Shishi at that time.
"Humph!"
"Don't let Master San down!"
After Master Tu San finished speaking, he jumped up and ran out of the city.
Wang Meng and Guo Wei's men couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Guo Wei walk in unharmed, even though he looked unhappy.
"Captain Escort, please sit down and have a drink to calm your nerves!"
"Yes, yes, Chief Escort, please take a seat!"
Perhaps knowing that what they had just done was not right, Guo Wei's men hurriedly supported their chief escort, after all, they would have to eat at the escort agency in the future.
Guo Wei did not argue with his men. It was just a common sense choice at that time. Besides, there were only these few elites left in the escort agency. Once they were driven away, the agency would just close down.
"Master Bao, you should go to bed early. You don't have to keep an eye on me all the time! Also, you don't have to stimulate my qi and blood in the future. With you in charge, I won't have any worries!" Zhao Shi persuaded Master Bao after seeing that the problem was resolved.
Even though Mr. Bao is a marrow-refining warrior, he is in his seventies or eighties after all, and his qi and blood are declining. In recent days, he has been stimulating his qi and blood frequently. If something goes wrong from staying up late, it will be a great loss for him.
With Bao Ye, a marrow-refining warrior, around, he basically doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the tavern and the home, and he doesn't have to worry about Bao Ye having ulterior motives. It's really comfortable to have such a person to protect the house.
"Yeah! I won't do that again!"
Mr. Bao nodded in response.
Indeed, he was old, and the several times he stimulated his energy and blood made his already declining energy and blood even worse. Compared to his previous peak period, his current strength was at least twice as bad.
The most important thing is that it affects life span. Originally, Master Bao had completely turned a blind eye to life and death, but now Jiang Linger and her daughter have rejuvenated him and he wants to lay a foundation for the future generations of the Jiang and Zhao families.
"Master, monsters are monsters after all. Is it really appropriate to cooperate with monsters?" Bao Ye thought for a while and asked worriedly.
He was afraid that Zhao Shi would go astray.
Demons and evil spirits are always the enemies of mankind.
“Master Bao, I know you’re worried. I also know that the nature of demons won’t change. But now we are too weak to change anything. Even if I kill the rabbit demon today, I can only kill this one rabbit demon. Don’t forget, there is not only one rabbit demon in this world, there are other demons!”
"Even the rabbit demon is only the weakest among the demons!"
"This world doesn't allow people to live well. Besides, the rabbit monster is more useful alive than dead! If it's alive, it can save more people's lives!"
Zhao Shi had also thought about this problem, but he had no ability to change the world. He could only try his best to reduce the number of deaths. After saying this, he looked at Guo Wei and said, "For example, the idea that Guo Biaotou gave to the rabbit monster just now can save many people from the disaster of monsters and monsters, and also give them the capital to survive!"
"Human!"
"The most horrible way to die is not being eaten by demons or being killed by bandits, but dying of starvation because of lack of money. In this world, the most people die of starvation because of lack of money and food. Starving people are everywhere, and bones are exposed in the wild. This is the true face of this world. We can't change this world, so we will do our best to save a few lives and do it with a clear conscience!"
Zhao Shi did not say that he was not sure of killing the rabbit monster. Some secrets are no longer secrets once they are known by a second person. If they are made public, the first one to turn against them will definitely be the rabbit.
The tavern fell silent because of Zhao Shi's words.
They knew that Zhao Shi was telling the truth.
People!
I'm not afraid of demons, evil spirits, or even more so, bandits. What I'm afraid of is starvation.
Wang Meng and his friends were the most deeply touched.
Don’t they know that there is an evil spirit causing chaos and killing people in Anpingfang?
know!
But what can we do after knowing it?
Evil spirits are scary, but does that mean we can stop working and stop living?
If you are killed by evil spirits, you have to consider yourself unlucky. If you are not killed, life must go on and you cannot stop making money. If you stop for a day, your family will starve.
Bao Ye and Guo Wei often travel around the country and are well-informed. Naturally, they know that what Zhao Shi said is true. For ordinary people, making money to buy food is always the top priority.
"What a damned world!"
Everyone in the room was silent for a long time. No one knew who cursed, but in the end, they could only curse this.
After Zhao Shi said this, he disappeared quietly.
"Damn this world!"
Returning to the shrine, Zhao Shi also shouted angrily.
The world has completely fallen into chaos, and there is almost no way to deal with the evil spirits. He can kill, and that can only be done by those evil spirits that have come into his ancestral spirit barrier.
But his tiny place is just a drop in the ocean compared to this world.
The ancestral spirits may be the only hope in this world, and the only hope that humans can see.
It is the only hope in a desperate life.
Zhao Shi was in a bad mood.
Some time ago, Zhao Shi was desperate about this world.
But later, he came to realize that no matter how desperate he was, he would be of no use to the world. He worked hard to make himself stronger and tried his best to protect the people he wanted to protect. In the process, he would save others if he had the ability, but if he didn't, he could only take care of himself.
