Chapter 242: Curse bone devices

Yan Mo grabbed Jiu Feng in his hand and asked him where he saw Meng.

Jiu Feng grunted in his throat and seemed happy to see Meng hanging up.

"Didn't you rescue him?" Yan Mo can't laugh or cry.

Jiu Feng laughed like a human being, "Hey Hey!"

"Where on earth is he?" Is it far from here?

"There, by the lake over the hill."

"Mountain? You mean the mountain where we stayed before?" Yan Mo will mention this mountain because it is the highest in a hundred miles nearby.

"Hey! No!" Jiu Feng couldn't explain clearly. He turned and sprayed a wind arrow to the east. "Over there!"

"Is it far?"

"Not far."

Yan Mo suspected that the distance was not very close, Jiu Feng said that it was not far in terms of its flying speed. If you use two legs to walk, you don't know how far to go.

"Jiu Feng, can you do me a favor? Bring Meng back?

Jiu Feng jumped on Yan Mo's palm a few times and then gave out a strange laugh, "Truss!"

"Jiu Feng?" Yan Mo thought Jiu Feng's attitude was too strange.

Jiu Feng flew up to his shoulder and muttered, "Mo-Mo, there's a great big guy there."

Yan Mo was shocked. Jiu Feng said that big guy was tough. How tough and big are they?

"You can't beat it?"

"Hey-!" Jiu Feng was angry, and his little wings fanned Yan Mo's head, tilting all Yan Mo's hair on one side.

"It's powerful, but it can't fly to the sky! I'm not afraid of it!"

Jiu Feng was a little afraid of it. Yan MoMo-Mo raised his hand and pushed his raised hair down.

Jiu Feng is probably angry, but still feels that he has lost face in front of his pet? Flying over his head was a scratch.

Yan Mo pulled a fried hazelnut from his waist, peeled it off and stuffed it into his mouth.

Yuan Zhan is funny, the whole Jiu Yuan, probably only Jiu Feng can bully Mo, and Mo can't take it. In fact, it is not helpless, but reluctant?

Yuan Zhan felt uncomfortable again, but Mo never said that he was reluctant to lay hands on him!

"Jiu Feng saw Meng?"

"Well."

"What happened to Meng?"

"He said he was hung up on a tree."

"Is he dead?"

"It seems he is alive. I asked Jiu Feng to help rescue the man, but Jiu Feng seemed to have some doubts about what caught Meng. He said he was a tough guy, but he couldn't fly.”

Yuan Zhan held up his arm. "Not the Moer-Gan?"

"Should not be. If The Moer-Gan had caught Meng, Qi Yuan would not have reacted completely still today when he saw us.

"It looks like we're going to end this market trip."

Yan Mo did not object. "I'll try to get Jiu Feng to take you there in the evening and see if you can save Meng. If you can, it's best. If you can't, we'll try again when you come back."

Yuan Zhan was worried about Meng, but he can only do so now.

Yan Mo patted him on the shoulder to show that he didn't have to worry too much. Jiu Feng was naughty, but he was more concerned about the pet he recognized as "let's pet." If Meng was really dying, Jiu Feng would never be so calm. He would be very angry, even if he didn't care about Meng's life and death.

The Moer-Gan crew came out of the tent with the Ding Yue people, who were uncomfortable to see the Jiu Yuan standing on the side of the road, and went straight over without a greeting.

The Moer-Gan set up a new tent at the end of the second row for them to rest.

Qi Yuan took the Moer-Gan party to Yan Mo and nodded to them.

The Moer-Gan's Elder wanted to ask him how to use the standard watch. Yan Mo was also covetous of the standard watch. He always thought that the standard watch was not simple. Maybe his speculation was wrong and possible.

"I've seen something similar before, but that one has been damaged, and this one is like a standard watch, but..." Yan Mo said half of it and refused to go on.

The Moer-Gan's Elder and Qi Yuan looked at each other and asked, "But what?"

Yan Mo only pointed to the pattern on Sundial's watch, with a solemn face: "I know this pattern. It's used by witches... I think you should show your Priest first."

The Moer-Gan's Elder frowned. Qi Yuan made a quiet gesture to Yan and Mo, indicating that he had something to say to him alone.

Several people went aside. Cai Yu did not seem qualified to participate in the conversation. He stood outside with people, using himself as a wall to block a quiet space for several people.

Qi Yuan came straight to the point: "The people in Ding Yue just mentioned to me that if you were willing to tell them where the Mer-people are, they would be willing to exchange the remaining two bone devices."

"Bone devices are here with you?"

"Yes, in the tent just now."

Yan Mo thought for a while, seemingly embarrassed.

Qi Yuan's eyes involuntarily slipped over his head. Without him, it was the human face bird that was so striking!

Jiu Feng "puffed" at him.

Qi Yuan's color changed. Fortunately Jiu Feng didn't hurt him. The wind blade passed over his head and cut off several hair.

Qi Yuan guessed the relationship between the face bird and the face bird he saw in The Jiu Yuan, and wondered how many such powerful and aggressive birds there were in The Jiu Yuan.

"You've been to the Jiu Yuan and traded with us, and I have some friendship with you compared to the Ding Yue Tribe downstream from the river." Yan Mo formed his words this way.

Qi Yuan and the Moer-Gan's Elder looked at him together.

Yan Mo hesitated. "I don't want to say bad things about the Ding Yue Tribe, but they never mean well."

"Why do you say that?" Qi Yuan is not a fool. He was able to understand the inference in three or two sentences.

"Those four bone devices." Yan Mo looks just the same. “If you find a place of relics and find some treasures from it, even if you don't understand their uses, will you take out the treasures of those relics for exchange? Even if the things they want to exchange are more valuable to them, they are not afraid of losing when they carry them all the way down from the river?”

"Do you doubt that the four bone devices are not relics?"

Yan Mo shook his head. "No, I don't know. But those four bone devices make me feel weird..."

Yan Mo looked at the Moer-Gan's Elder and looked at the watch in his arms. He said, "Have you ever heard of cursed bone devices?"

Qi Yuan and The Moer-Gan's Elder changed their faces. There is no one who  does not hate curses, and no one does not know the horror of curses!

Yan Mo refers to the pattern on the standard watch. "Have you found that there are more or less such patterns on the other three bone devices?"

When they think about it, they do.

"Why didn't you say that in the tent just now?" The Moer-Gan's Elder faces was filled his apprehension.

Yuan Zhan sneers.

The Moer-Gan's Elder immediately curbed all grievances.

Yan Mo grinned bitterly. “Do you believe me when I say that? Maybe someone thought I was intentionally fighting against the Ding Yue Tribe. At that time, Ding Yu and we were going to fight. And I have shown several times that the purpose of Ding Yu is not pure. But how many of you believe it?”

"So this watch doesn't tell the time as you say?"

"No, it should have the function of indicating time. I haven't used it, and I'm not sure about it.

"But this time it's cursing with bone devices!"

"I didn't say that." Yan Mo denies it.

"Yes, you're just suspicious, and the bone devices that come to you we don't want it." The Moer-Gan's Elder's tone was slightly rushed. How happy he was before, how angry he was then, and how hot his hands felt when he held the bone devices in his arms.

"I just don't think the Ding Yue Tribe's purpose is pure, and I don't want to betray my friend of The Mer-people!" The tone and expression of a teenager's voice must be as positive as they are.

"You also chose that stick, don't you fear that it is also cursing bone devices?" Qi Yuan has some doubts.

"I'm curious. Besides, it's only the value of twenty slaves. I'm not going to take this stick back to The Jiu Yuan.

"Do you know bone devices? Are you also a teacher of bone devices? Qi Yuan speculated boldly.

Yan Mo did not answer.

"So you've made sure you don't want the remaining two bone devices?"

Yan Mo shook his head, but his hand on his back made a gesture to Yuan Zhan.

Yuan Zhan pressed the teenager's shoulder. "Why not? You tell the people in Ding Yue that it's still the previous condition. We invite the Mer-people to meet with them at the cost of two bone devices. If they want to change, they don't want to.

Yan Mo looked back at him disapprovingly.

Yuan Zhan, "Take the bone devices and find a place to see what they really do. If they have problems, we can destroy them. If we put them in the Ding Yue, what will they do if they sneak those things upstream into the river?”

Yan Mo frowned tightly.

"Be obedient." Yuan Zhan rubbed his back head with his big hand and was pecked back by Jiu Feng.

The teenager reluctantly agreed.

The Moer-Gan's Elder kept winking at Qi Yuan, who held him down to show that he understood what he meant.

"Well, actually... If you really don't want to say where the Mer-people is, they're willing to accept your suggestion that you invite the Mer-people to meet them in exchange for the two remaining bone devices.”

Yuan Zhan and Yan Mo stared at him together.

Qi Yuan laughed. “After all, they're the guests my brother brought back. I... Well, by the way, you've got another slaves in your eyes? How many? One hundred or less 2nd Rank slaves, even if I gave them to you. Of course, I'll send all the slaves you ordered to the last river port as I said before.”

Yan Mo seemed to be angry and unable to think to the slaves displayed. "I don't know how many slaves you brought out today, whether men, women, children, health or not, I want all of them!"

Qi Yuan and The Moer-Gan's Elder opened their mouths. “So much for you?!"

"Yes!"

Qi Yuan would not have dared to make the deal if it hadn't been for the Jiu Yuan who was upstream in DHe, far from the Moer-Gan, and who had bought slaves and children the last time.

"The slaves brought out this time are all trained, most of them are war slaves, and the highest level of 4th Rank, the last price is certainly not cheap." When it comes to business, Qi Yuan immediately regains the face of the traitor, and the embarrassment on his face is all left behind.

Yan Mo stared at Yuan Zhan, which is handed over to you cunningly and greedily.

Yuan Zhan raised his eyebrows. "I heard you say red salt is blood salt? Even the Huang Jing Tribe and the Snake People didn't exchange much? Maybe we should take out red salt directly to exchange slaves with all nationalities, Qi Yuan DRen, why don't you say it directly?

"Aha, if you promise to trade only red salt with the Moer-Gan, I'll send you all these slaves."

"As much red salt as last time for these slaves, and I promise you that we will not take out any more red salt in this market."

Qi Yuan didn't expect the Jiu Yuan to trade only with them in red salt. The Jiu Yuan was not the Salt Mountain Tribesmen who were easy to bully. But Yuan Zhan's price was unacceptable, too. "Three times the price from last time. This is the lowest price.”

Yan Mo's ears moved. The Moer-Gan had a double and triple concept. Is it The Three Cities? Has the Mathematical System of The Three Cities begun to be established?

Yuan Zhan shook his head. "We don't have as much refined red salt as one more boat at the most."

Qi Yuan is patient. "We can ship it in autumn and pick you up at the autumn fair."

"Do you think we need your slaves?" Yuan Zhan's face was indifferent and uncomfortable. He seemed to be trying to press his anger, turning to a pack of Yan Mo's shoulders. "Let's go and see the slaves of other tribes first."

Yan Mo really left with Yuan Zhan.

Qi Yuan did not know whether the other party was really angry or was acting like that. He wanted to hang the other party suspense again, but the Elder next to him gave him a quick stare.

"The Elder, what are you anxious about? There are still many days left in the market, so we can wait longer.”

"Wait? What about this bone devices?

"Bring it back to Priest DRen?"

"What if it's really a curse on bone devices? Will you show it to Priest DRen?”

Qi Yuan certainly would not. It's not much good to do it well, but if it makes Priest DRen unhappy, it's bound to do him more harm.

Cai Yu then went up and said, "DRen, what about these slaves? Do you want to go to the river first?”

Qi Yuan waved, "No hurry."

"But..." Cai Yu hesitated. "If we stay here, what should we do if there are other tribes that want to trade?"

"One day first."

"Yes."

A long day can bring countless changes.

Qi Yuan heard a lot about The Jiu Yuan only half an afternoon.

"DRen, the Jiu Yuan bought the Three Cities slaves to get the rest of the bones!"

In this way, Qi Yuan is surer that The Jiu Yuan has a bone devices trained master, maybe he is who he suspected...  Jiu Yuan Priest.

"DRen, Jiu Yuan exchanged a lot of crystal coins with The Huang Jing Tribe with the strange shoe wrapped around their feet!"

Qi Yuan was also interested in the shoes on their feet, and immediately asked someone to exchange them.

"DRen, Jiu Yuan traded their ointment powder for a lot of herbs."

There's nothing curious about this.

"DRen, the Bian Xi people went to the Jiu Yuan, but we don't know what they said, and the slaves inside didn't tell us!"

Qi Yuan Meng raised his head. Bian Xi people, unlike other ethnic groups, are strong in fighting and attach great importance to their people because the Moer-Gan had previously captured children as slaves across the Bian Xi ethnic group, resulting in a bad relationship with the Bian Xi ethnic group. But because Bian Xi people do not like contact with other ethnic groups, although they are strong but unique, The Moer-Gan also need not be too vigilant against them, but if the Bian Xi finds a stronger ally...

"DRen! No more! The Jiu Yuan replaced all the slaves brought by the other tribes in the market with cloth!"

Qi Yuan stood up, unable to sit down. As he walked out, he thought, "Sometimes it's necessary to show a good face, at least until they able to invade the Jiu Yuan."

In the evening, Yan Mo sat on the ground on the second floor, looked at the four bone devices lined up in front of him and laughed.

Qi Yuan had just come to his door and asked him to double and his price now was half the amount of red salt in the last transaction and to help verify whether the sundial was really cursed bone device. In exchange for a total of 1206 slaves, Qi Yuan had to help him deliver it to the upper reaches of the river free of charge.

He agreed to invite the Mer-people to meet the Ding Yue people. It was supposed that the Mer-people would be able to change to the remaining two bone devices, but Qi Yuan probably didn't want to keep what he suspected was cursing bone devices in his place, pretending to be generous and sending the remaining two bone devices together.

Of course, they said that when the Jiu Yuan left, three of the bone devices must be left behind until the Mer-people met the Ding Yue people before the disc and fish bones could be truly handed over to the Jiu Yuan.

Yuan Zhan did not rest assured that he would wait until he came back to check these bone devices.

Yan Mo agreed to put four bone devices in his pocket and see the slaves he had just bought.
