Chapter 130: Crypt Insects

Zui'er pinched the incense head nervously and carefully lit the fuse of the firecracker.

Crackling.

The sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded, and Zui'er hurriedly ran to the steps, covering his ears and watching with bared teeth.

Zhao Ya couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

This little girl is really cute and fun-loving.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

In total, this is Zhao Ya's third year in this world.

It's just that last year he spent the New Year at the Song family in Wuxiang City, but this year he went to Yunxiao County.

I don’t know how the Song family is doing now, or whether they are living well in Wanshou County.

Zhao Ya was thinking when Miao Shaocheng and Xu De arrived.

"Fifth Junior Brother, happy New Year!" Miao Shaocheng said with a smile.

"Happy New Year to you two senior brothers." Zhao Ya also hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"Come on, Zui'er, I'll give you a red envelope!"

Miao Shaocheng and Xu De gave Zui'er a big red envelope respectively.

Both of them liked Zui'er's cuteness and cuteness, and Xu De said more than once that when he looked for a wife in the future, he would look for Zui'er like this.

"Thank you two senior brothers!" Zui'er was naturally very grateful.

"Let's go, let's go and pay New Year's greetings to Master first, and then ask the second senior brother and senior sister to have a good meal at Feixianju." Xu De said with a smile.

"good!"

Zhao Ya took Zui'er to the martial arts gym. Unexpectedly, Shen Dao had already arrived and also gave Zui'er a red envelope.

But what surprised Zhao Ya the most was senior sister Meng Shiwen.

Today she changed her clothes. She wore a red skirt that showed off her slim figure just right, making her a little less cold and a little more gorgeous.

She also took out a red envelope and handed it to Zui'er.

"Zui'er, this is the New Year's money for you."

Zui'er was a little hesitant and didn't dare to answer.

After all, she felt a little scared from the bottom of her heart for this senior sister who usually had a cold face.

So she looked at Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Take it, this is also senior sister's wish."

Only then did Zui'er reach out and take it, and whispered thank you, senior sister.

Meng Shiwen smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be so polite."

Seeing her smile, Zui'er couldn't help but be stunned.

This was the first time she saw Meng Shiwen smile, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise in her heart.

Senior Sister Meng smiled...it was so beautiful!

Lu Dingtai naturally noticed this scene and couldn't help but feel relieved.

He always felt that his apprentice was good at everything, and his only shortcoming was that he was too cold and arrogant.

Now that I see such a big change in her, I am naturally very happy.

"Master, disciple, I have booked a banquet at Feixianju. You should come with me!" Xu De said.

"I won't go. You brothers and sisters are gathering together. If I go, you won't be able to enjoy the meal. Just bring me a jar of Feixian Brewing." Lu Dingtai said with a smile.

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Dingtai's rejection was also expected, so the five of them, their fellow apprentices, plus Zui'er, a total of six people rushed to Feixianju.

Feixianju today is even more lively than usual, with a pair of red lanterns hanging at the door, adding to the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

Fortunately, Xu De booked a private room in advance, otherwise there would really be no room.

The food was served and people drank happily. Even Zuier, who never drank alcohol, made an exception today and drank a small glass of fruit wine.

Just as everyone was drinking happily, they suddenly heard someone outside the door laughing: "I thought the voice sounded familiar to me outside just now, and it turned out to be you."

While he was talking, someone opened the door and walked in.

The visitor is of medium height, dressed in green clothes, and has a rather handsome appearance. The key point is his clear and bright eyes, as sincere as a child's.

When he saw this person, Shen Dao couldn't help but laugh.

"Who do I think you are? You kid, sit down quickly and have a drink together."

Zhao Ya didn't recognize this person, so Xu De introduced him in a low voice.

"His name is Nie Jingnian. He is the top senior brother of Renyong Martial Arts School. He has a good relationship with our second senior brother and is quite a good person. Although his temper is a little weird, he can be regarded as a prominent figure among the younger generation in the county."

Zhao Ya had heard of this Nie Jingnian, but this was his first time seeing him, so he couldn't help but take a second look.

Unexpectedly, Nie Jinnian seemed to notice it and turned to smile at him.

"This must be Junior Brother Zhao Ya Zhao!"

Zhao Ya cupped his fists and said, "I've met Senior Brother Nie!"

"I have long heard that there is an incredible young hero from Dingtai Martial Arts School, and now I see him and it is indeed extraordinary."

If these words were spoken by others, they would probably be regarded as flattery.

But Nie Jingnian was different. His tone was very sincere, and his eyes looked at Zhao Ya continuously.

This made Zhao Ya a little embarrassed.

"Senior Brother Nie is so complimentary."

"Everything I said is true, how can I say such nonsense?" Nie Jingnian said seriously.

"Uh..." Zhao Ya was speechless.

When Shen Dao saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xiao Ya, ignore him, this guy has such virtue."

Then he said to Nie Jingnian: "Okay, just stop saying a few words and sit down and drink quickly."

At this time the waiter brought in chairs and cups and saucers.

Nie Jingnian was not polite, sat down and started eating.

Through the conversation at the banquet, Zhao Ya finally understood what Xu De meant when he just said that he had a strange temper.

It turns out that Nie Jingnian was very straightforward in his speech, never trying to hide anything, and he said whatever he wanted.

But the strange thing is that when he talks like this, it doesn't make people feel disgusted. Instead, it makes people feel that this person is very sincere.

Of course, Zhao Ya also noticed that Nie Jingnian's skin was soft and fair. He had obviously successfully undergone skin resurfacing. He was an out-and-out warrior of the Four Realms.

It seems that this county town is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Zhao Ya sighed secretly, but did not take this matter too seriously.

After all, people have different personalities, especially those who practice martial arts, so it is not surprising that there are people like Nie Jingnian.

After the meal was finished, everyone left.

Zhao Ya did not stop after returning home, but continued to practice martial arts.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and before I knew it, green appeared on the branches.

On this day, after finishing his homework for the day, Zhao Ya frowned slightly.

After running out of suitable dried meat from exotic beasts, his cultivation progress had become very slow recently.

Zhao Ya also had a headache about this.

He had already urged Tianlan Butcher Shop, but it was not so easy to find high-end dried meat.

Even if Zhao Ya is willing to pay a high price, it won't work.

There was no way to go on like this, so Zhao Ya could only find his master Lu Dingtai and ask him if he had any ideas.

But Lu Dingtai was helpless about this.

Because there are only a few companies that can provide dried meat of the level of Seven Star Blood Eel, and there are huge forces behind them, even Lu Dingtai does not dare to look down upon them.

He could only ask for as much quota as possible, and then gave all the extra dried meat to Zhao Ya.

But even this is still not enough.

After unlocking the two major organs at the same time, Zhao Ya's demand for flesh and blood surged again.

The extra dried meat is not enough for him to stuff between his teeth.

So Zhao Ya has been thinking hard during this period, figuring out where to get some high-end dried meat.

Just then, an unexpected person suddenly came to visit.

"Nie...Senior Brother Nie, why are you here?" Zhao Ya asked in great surprise.

The person who came was none other than Nie Jingnian from Renyong Martial Arts School.

He first nodded his thanks to Zui'er who brought him tea, and then said straight to the point: "I have something I want to cooperate with you on."

"Why do you want to cooperate with me?" Zhao Ya was a little confused.

"I got a definite message that rare insects appeared in a secret cave outside the city. I want to cooperate with you to find this cave together. After catching the insects, the insects produced will be recovered. How about half of the eggs for you and me?"

Zerg?

Hearing the news, Zhao Ya could not help but feel refreshed.

You must know that zerg are rarer than ordinary beasts.

The key is that the eggs produced often contain strong energy and blood, and the difficulty of cultivating them is very low.

There is no need to arrange complicated meat fields like cultivating other exotic animals, which is perfect for Zhao Ya who is currently in a state of qi and blood embarrassment.

However, Zhao Ya was not dazzled by the sudden good news, and instead asked very cautiously.

"Why me? You must know that I am only halfway through the Four Realms now, and with your connections, Senior Brother Nie, it shouldn't be difficult to find a few Four Realms warriors, right?"

"Because I need your brain." Nie Jinnian made no secret.

"I have been searching in the mountains and forests for more than a month, but I have found nothing, so I thought of you."

"Oh? Senior Brother Nie really believes that I can find him?"

"Of course." Nie Jinnian nodded and added.

"Because I have tried to find the jade butterfly before, but failed."

Zhao Ya was a little dumbfounded, but faced with this invitation, he had no reason to refuse, so he thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, I am willing to cooperate."

"Okay, this is the secret map recording the location of the crypt, but I haven't been able to understand it."

Seeing Zhao Ya nodding in agreement, Nie Jinnian did not hesitate at all, took out a piece of parchment from his arms and handed it over.

Zhao Ya reached out to take it, and when he opened it, he saw that the pictures on it were very rough, and many of them were messy lines. Only the outline of a city was drawn in the middle, and the words Yunxiao County were marked next to it.

The location of the crypt is in the lower left corner of the map.

Zhao Ya looked at it for a while and then asked: "Brother Nie, are you sure this picture is real?"

"Of course, you don't have to worry about the source of the picture, but I can guarantee that the crypt and the insect are real."

"Okay, I'll leave this picture to study it carefully. Tomorrow we will go out of the city to find the crypt."

"Can."

Nie Jinnian nodded in agreement and then left.

Looking at his back, Zhao Ya suddenly realized that this was a wonderful man.

Do everything neatly and neatly, never hiding anything.

The key point is that Zhao Ya discovered that Nie Jingnian's situation should be similar to his own. He was born in a humble background and had no support from his family. He only relied on himself to get to where he is now step by step.

Otherwise, he wouldn't care so much about this insect.

It seems that I am not the only one worried about the flesh and blood of exotic beasts.

Zhao Ya sighed in his heart, and then studied the map carefully.

The map production technology in this world is very backward. Not to mention the scale, sometimes even the direction is unclear.

But Zhao Ya also heard that well-made maps are often hidden in the hands of those big families.

However, these maps are often related to the trade routes of their respective families. They are top secret and will not be revealed to anyone easily.

Therefore, Zhao Ya has never seen it.

However, the map in front of me obviously has nothing to do with the words "well-made".

Even the sheepskin has not been finished yet, and there is still wool left in some places.

Zhao Ya put it under the lamp and looked at it over and over again, trying to find some clues.

But apart from those messy lines, nothing was found.

Zhao Ya did not give up, and used the method of water and fire, but the result was still the same.

"Strange, if this thing is real, why is there no sign at all? Could it be that the person who drew the map does not want people to find it at all?"

Zhao Ya muttered to himself, thinking that this was impossible.

If you really don't want people to know, just don't leave this map, why bother to make a map?

Isn't this just taking off your pants to fart.

The more he looked at it, the more irritated he became. Zhao Ya sighed and put the map back on the table, planning to try his luck outside the city with Nie Jingnian tomorrow.

"Brother Xiao Ya, drink some water first, the pear soup I just made is so sweet."

Zui'er came over with a bowl of steaming pear soup.

Recently, she fell in love with making drinks and spent all day in the kitchen studying how to make soup with various fruits.

Zhao Ya was naturally the first to bear the brunt and became the taster.

Fortunately, Zui'er's cooking skills were good. Except for a few drinks that tasted bad, the others were delicious.

Zhao Ya took the pear soup and sipped it slowly.

Zui'er looked at the parchment on the table curiously.

"Brother Xiao Ya, what are you looking at?"

"Nothing, just trying to find clues in the picture."

"Have you found it?"

"Not yet, these lines are too messy, I even suspect that someone has destroyed it."

Zui'er also became interested and walked around the table with his head down.

Zhao Ya didn't care, just thinking about which direction to look for tomorrow.

At this moment, Zui'er suddenly exclaimed.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Ya, does this look like a mountain?"

Zui'er stretched out her hand and pointed.

Zhao Ya followed her gaze and found that Zui'er was pointing to the location next to the crypt.

But from Zhao Ya's point of view, it was still a mess.

"Does it look like it?"

"Yes, but you have to look at it from my position."

Zhao Ya stood up and walked behind Zui'er, and sure enough.

From this angle, those messy lines became clear and formed the shape of a mountain.

Zhao Ya was overjoyed.

With this mountain as a mark, it would be much easier to find the cave.

After all, there are only a few mountains outside the city, so just look for them one by one.

"Zui'er, you are really my baby!" Zhao Ya couldn't help but hug Zui'er and kissed her hard.

Zui'er blushed, but she was also happy that she could help Brother Ya.

The next day, Nie Jingnian came early.

"How is it, can you see the clues?"

"Well, I found some clues." Zhao Ya said.

Nie Jingnian's eyes lit up, "I really didn't find the wrong person. Now that we have found the clue, let's go now."

"Okay."

Zhao Ya took the things he needed and followed Nie Jingnian out of the county town and into the forest.

With the approximate location, the two soon came to the forest southwest of the county town.

But when they got here, there was no trace of the mountain except the vast forest.

Sorry, I'm stuck, I'll take a day off! Now I owe a total of two chapters of 8,000 words, I'll try to make up as soon as possible.
