Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 614 The Second Great Purge
But when people want blood food, they usually count it by the "piece," or at worst, by the pound. Ten or a hundred pounds would be considered a big deal.
You're talking about thirty to fifty thousand pounds minimum. What's the deal?
Before Hu Ma could finish the thought, he heard Monkey Wine continue, "Also, in addition to Blood Tai Sui, we'll need a good amount of Golden Silk Tai Sui."
"Three to five hundred pounds would be ideal, and a few thousand would be even better. Also, I noticed that old man Yan from the Yan family had something interesting about him, but unfortunately, you killed him."
"But if the Yan family has a way to refine that stuff, maybe I can find a way too…"
"…"
"Holy crap…"
Just a moment ago, everyone thought this Mr. Monkey Wine was just too fierce, but now they were dumbfounded…
Has this guy gone completely insane?
"Seriously, besides Blood Tai Sui and Golden Silk Tai Sui, you're even eyeing Purple Tai Sui?"
Hu Ma was also bewildered by Monkey Wine's words.
But he was different from the others. They were meeting Monkey Wine for the first time and thought he was crazy, while he had known this guy was crazy for a long time.
But even though he was crazy, his skills were extraordinary.
And even though his words sounded scary, they must have been well thought out.
So he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I… I'll see if I can find a way…"
"But you're asking for too much. I can't find that much all at once. I'll… I'll give you about ten thousand pounds to start with, just to tide you over?"
"…"
Hu Ma felt ridiculous even as he said it.
How could he put "ten thousand pounds" and "tide you over" in the same sentence? How could he even say such a thing?
"Acceptable."
Monkey Wine said calmly, "But hurry. I don't want to delay the process because of this."
Hu Ma felt exhausted: "Alright…"
"Damn it, what kind of families do these two come from…"
Hearing Hu Ma's agreement, the others erupted in chaos, "One dares to ask, and the other dares to give?"
"Seriously, are there already Reincarnators this rich? Why were we playing small-time hitmen, only getting two Blood Food Pills each?"
"Worthy of someone who's climbed to the level of a Ghost Runner Grand Hitman. Brother Laobaigan, I won't say anything else. Are you short of a adopted son?"
"…"
"…"
Even Miss Red Wine was stunned: "I was worried he wouldn't be able to win people over and wouldn't be able to become the Captain, but now it seems I was overthinking it?"
"Putting everything else aside, who else can pull off a big deal in blood food like this?"
"…"
"The pressure is indeed high, and time is tight, but since people are always working on things, it always feels like there's hope."
Hu Ma sighed and said.
He also needed to quickly change the subject, lest he start feeling the pain in his heart.
Just a few words ago, he had tens of thousands of pounds of blood food in his hands and was guarding a blood food mine that was about to be harvested.
He even had the illusion that he had so much blood food that he didn't know what to do with it and didn't even want to get back the few thousand pounds that Old Abacus owed him.
Who would have thought that with one big gulp from this Monkey Wine, his blood food would be gone, and he would suddenly feel like he owed someone tens of thousands of pounds?
"We will continue to push forward with the fight for the Mandate of Heaven, first laying the foundation to avoid losing the initiative."
He thought to himself as he said, "And finding the previous generation of Reincarnators is also very important. Taking advantage of this gathering, we need everyone to put their heads together."
"In addition, although many companions have come to this gathering, time is tight, and I'm afraid that many have not yet come. We also need someone to continue searching for them."
"…"
Hearing his words, there were fewer voices speaking, as if everyone was thinking.
"I can try to find the previous generation of Reincarnators."
In the silence, someone spoke. It was Huadiao Wine, a Reincarnator from Huizhou.
He said with a slight hesitation in his voice, "I am a Hall God Burdened Spirit (Dian Shen Fu Ling). I usually don't enter the martial world, but by following the Hall God, I can come into contact with some secrets."
"I can't say too much, but perhaps I can use some of the Hall God's channels to find clues about them."
"…"
Hu Ma's heart stirred, and he felt a glimmer of hope at what he said.
The Hall God has always been the most mysterious existence, and Hall God Burdened Spirits are rarely seen in the martial world, so perhaps there really is some unknown method.
"I'll take care of notifying the other Reincarnators, and even finding those guys who don't like to show their faces."
Miss Red Wine also spoke at this time, "In addition, we can also try to build a platform to solve the problem of Reincarnators being too far apart and unable to contact each other easily."
"Of course, the most important thing is that someone needs to provide psychological support to the Reincarnators, and I can take that on."
"…"
"I can also help with the fight for the Mandate of Heaven."
At this time, Mr. Mendaolv from Mengzhou suddenly said in a muffled voice, "Perhaps this help will be quite significant."
Everyone was curious: "Why?"
"Because I'm also a King of the Greenwoods (caotou wang) now."
Mendaolv said with a strange tone, "Of course, I don't know what's going on. I was inexplicably made a king…"
"?"
Everyone paused for a moment, and then laughed: "Then why don't you just become the emperor?"
"Holy crap, don't try to trick me!"
Mendaolv said hurriedly, "The information left by the previous generation of Reincarnators clearly states: "Knowing that letting you become emperor comes at too great a cost."
"I've studied these words many times. Think about it, why would he say that?"
"This means that becoming emperor is a big loss. It's not that I don't want to experience the feeling of three palaces and six courtyards, but in this weird world, I'm not going to take that risk. Besides, even though I'm just a King of the Greenwoods, seeing those people kowtow to me always gives me a strange feeling, like I'm being watched… It's almost making me depressed."
Everyone expressed their understanding. Everyone present had studied the words left by the previous generation of Reincarnators many times.
They had long been aware of some of the hidden problems.
With each person contributing a word or two, many issues were indeed settled. However, for some reason, as they spoke, they still felt a little uneasy.
"These trivial matters are easy to arrange, but the biggest problem is what Brother Monkey Wine mentioned at the beginning."
Dongzhou Laojiao Wine sighed and said, "Crossing the Bridge (shang qiao) is a difficult problem."
"Not everyone is so fierce, just crossing the bridge regardless, being targeted by the Ten Surnames, and daring to kill people. But if we don't cross the bridge, we'll always be at a disadvantage against the Ten Surnames."
"…"
These words immediately silenced everyone. This was indeed a real problem.
At this moment, Erguotou, who had been silent all along, slowly said, "I was just about to talk about this matter."
"…Or rather, this is not what I wanted to say, but what Miss White Wine asked me to convey on her behalf."
"Originally, she was supposed to represent Mingzhou."
"But she said that she had discovered something important and was eager to leave to verify a prescription, so she asked me to bring the problem she discovered here!"
He paused slightly before slowly saying, "Her words are: The key to Reincarnators crossing the bridge lies in the so-called immortal energy…"
"…Or rather, Purple Tai Sui!"
"This thing can cover up the Reincarnator's aura, so even if they cross the bridge, they won't be seen."
"…"
"What?"
Upon hearing his words, everyone was shocked.
First, they had never heard of anything like this before, and second, the news was truly exciting.
If they could avoid the problem of being seen, wouldn't that eliminate a huge worry for the Reincarnators?
Who knows how many Reincarnators already have the foundation to cross the bridge, but just don't dare to take that step?
If this is true, wouldn't a large number of bridge crossers be created among the Reincarnators in a short period of time?
"That's indeed what she said, but she hasn't figured out the specifics herself, so I don't know how to describe it either."
Erguotou said in a muffled voice, "I crossed the bridge two months ago, and then found a little Purple Tai Sui. I thought I was lucky, but now I realize that I got the order wrong."
"Of course, Purple Tai Sui is also truly amazing. After taking Purple Tai Sui, I can also feel the changes in my Natal Spirit Temple. These changes will be recorded later and studied with Miss White Wine, and the results will be shared with everyone."
"…"
"…"
"Sure enough, sure enough, it's still good to get out and about!"
Everyone was extremely excited and laughed, "Staying alone, many problems are thought over and over again, with no clues, only knowing how to be afraid."
"Now that we've met, we've found that there are many talented people among our Reincarnators, and many problems have been solved just like that."
"Everyone, do you have any other exciting good news to share and cheer us up!"
"…"
Feeling that the atmosphere of this gathering was building, and that many problems were indeed seeing a hope for resolution.
Hu Ma's heart was also slightly shaken. Seeing that many things had been discussed, he breathed a low sigh, knowing that it was his turn to speak.
This news was too important and too terrifying. If he had said it at the first moment, I'm afraid that other problems wouldn't need to be discussed, so he waited until now before slowly saying:
"Everyone, I have some information to share, but what I'm going to say is not good news."
"…"
"Hmm?"
Everyone was a little surprised, and they all focused their attention on him. The cheerful whispering sounds were also weakening.
Then, Hu Ma slowly opened his mouth: "The second great cleansing of Reincarnators is coming."
"Boom!"
As soon as he said these words, there was a moment of deathly silence between the Natal Spirit Temples, as if they hadn't reacted.
After a few breaths, it suddenly exploded: "What the hell?"
"A second cleansing? What cleansing?"
"Who wants to cleanse us? What methods do they have?"
"…"
"…"
And Hu Ma also said in a low voice after a long while, "It is the Tongyin Meng family and the Noble Zhang family."
"I received news that the two families are working together to create something called a Demon Revealing Mirror (zhao yao jing). This object can reveal Reincarnators, making it impossible for any of us to hide in the human world anymore."
