"I have always liked to travel. I originally wanted to go to Donghai Bay to see the vast sea scenery. When I passed by Pingqiu County, I heard that the scenery of Tiankeng in Dali Mountain was beautiful, so I rushed over. This time, it was indeed worth the trip." Shen Luo's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he had thought of something. While saying that, he raised his glass to toast the beautiful scenery outside the window and drank it all in one gulp.

The green plum wine entered his throat, and a slight sour and sweet feeling. Then the strange smell of hot wine spread out, spreading between his tongue and throat, making him raise his eyebrows and feel quite surprised.

"Haha, I can't see anything during the day now. At night, the moonlight in this pit is the best. However, it has been raining all the time. If it is covered by thick clouds at night, I can't see anything." Ao Hong also drank himself.

At this time, the inn food was served one after another, and Chen Luo chatted with Ao Hong and started drinking.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the two chatted pretty well. At this time, a messy sound of footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. They turned their heads and saw that the cotton curtain outside the door had been lifted and several people walked in.

These people were all wearing thick straw raincoats and bamboo hats on their heads. After entering the house, they took them off one by one and placed them against the wall next to the door.

Among them, the leader is a tall, short-bearded old man with bright eyes and a strong look. There are two young men with white complexions that look sick. Their appearance and body size are similar, and they look like twins.

In addition to these three people, there was also a woman with a delicate figure, but her face was covered with a layer of black veil and she couldn't see clearly.

Under the straw raincoats, all four were wearing short brown clothes, with circles of hemp ropes as thick as thumbs on their waists, and mud on their feet and legs, as if they had just walked through the mud of the forest.

"Yo, Manager Chen, are there new customers in the store?" The old man in the short beard looked at the Shen Luo and said with a smile.

Hearing that tone, he seemed to be very familiar with the short and fat shopkeeper of the inn.

"Brother Lu, isn't it the popularity you brought after you come? Otherwise, in this past year, except for you swallow pickers, who would have been willing to come to this remote countryside?" The short and fat shopkeeper smiled.

"The swallow picker?" Chen Luo was slightly surprised.

He is not unfamiliar with this business. Even if he collects bird's nests, his pharmacy often deals with bird's pickers.

"Haha, it's still the same. I warmed up a few pots of wine and served a few dishes to the room. The air leaked from all over the hall, making people feel scared and cold." The old man with a short beard greeted and walked upstairs on his own.

The other three people followed up the stairs.

But the masked woman walking at the end looked at the window as she climbed the stairs, and didn't know whether she was looking at Shen Luo or Ao Hong.

"I really feel a little cold when that old man said this. Shopkeeper Chen, please help warm up the pot of wine." Chen Luo said, wrapping his cloak on his body and shouting at the shopkeeper.

"Okay." The waiter had already gone to the kitchen to help, and the shopkeeper rushed over by himself.

Chen Luo saw him approaching and pretended to ask inadvertently:

"Speaking of February and March, it is the rainy season, with insect reproduction vigorously, swallows have sufficient food, saliva secretion, and the best quality of bird's nest is produced. It is the best time to pick bird's nests. Why is it until the end of April, and these people have not left yet?"

"What the guest officer said was an ordinary swiftlet. On the cliffs of the Tiankeng on the Dali Mountain, there is a special swift group called "swifts". They secrete saliva and build nests one month later than swiftlets. It's the time now." Manager Chen explained with a smile when he heard this.

"So that's the case, I'm ignorant." Chen Luo nodded.

"Where is, the bird's nest of the swift is not as good as that of the swiftlet. It has no reputation, so the guest officials don't know. Speaking of which, they will collect it at this time every year." Manager Chen smiled.

After saying that, he also went to busy organizing meals for those people.

Chen Luobo chatted with Ao Hong in a random manner, and occasionally glanced at the scenery outside the window.

At the same time, in a room upstairs, the four swallow-picking men were sitting around a table.

"If I read correctly, the two people next to the window downstairs are all practitioners, I'm afraid they are also coming for the blue-eyed golden toad." The short-bearded old man said with a serious expression without a smile.

"If you dare to rob us, just kill us." The two young men with white faces looked at each other and said in unison.

"Hmph, it's easy to kill people. Do you know their background? Is there anyone else behind them to support me? What should I do if I cause more trouble?" The woman still covered her face and snorted coldly.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Xin said it well. The situation is unclear at the moment, so you should not act rashly." The short-bearded old man nodded and said.

"Senior Tong Guan, let's not talk about this for now. Are we really sure to find the blue-eyed golden toad this time?" The masked woman called Yu Xin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked.

"We have been here for five years. The golden toad will only appear once only when it is shocked by thunder at the end of the rainy season. We missed the opportunity every time before. This time we set up a trap trap in advance, so we will definitely not let it escape." The short-bearded old man named Tong Guan clenched his fists and said with a bright look.

"That's good. As long as I complete the task successfully this time, I will be able to enter the headquarters and meet the Holy Lord, right?" Yu Xin asked anxiously.

"Don't worry about this. If you can win the golden toad, your achievements will naturally be enough to meet the Holy Lord." Tong Guan nodded.

After receiving this satisfactory reply, Yu Xin said goodbye and left, and returned to her room.

"Old Tong, I always think that this surname Yu is unreliable?" The two young men spoke again and said together.

"She has been in our body training hall for a short time, so she has to be more careful. However, when we have been together these few days, we can see that she is indeed fascinated by the headquarters and is never careless in doing things. If she makes good use of it, she will be a wonderful chess." Tong Guan said slowly.

"When using it... can it be done?" One of the two young men spoke independently for the first time.

"Fengshan, the word "se" has a knife on the head. Can't you change the dog's mouth and eat shit?" Another man glared at him and said.

"Fengshui, brother is just having fun, do you have to care?" The previous person muttered dissatisfied.

"Okay, let's wait until this mission is completed. No one is allowed to cause trouble for me during this period, otherwise none of us will think of good results." Tong Guan shouted sternly, and the two brothers immediately shut up honestly.

After a moment of silence, Tong Guan sighed silently: "Everything is ready, just waiting for thunder."
