2 56. Ascetic

"What is the Mystery Merchant?

Zhang Sheng stiffened up with a carp and sat up from the bed.

[Yo, you salted fish know how to open the system today?]

[It's out of breath!]

[There is progress!]

Listening to this mocking voice, Zhang Sheng knew that he had changed people, and the person in the operating system opposite was no longer AI Xiaoai.

"Long time no see!" Zhang Sheng greeted her.

Although the other party's tone towards him has not been very good, Zhang Sheng still has to be kind to her. After all, he still has to rely on the system, and he is not the first party of the system.

And face the system with a smile, and the system is embarrassed to scold you again, isn't it?

[Okay.] You don't have to be polite with me, I don't eat this set, I should scold you or scold you. 】

[However, I am in a good mood today. 】

Now that you've found out. 】

[I'll tell you what a mysterious merchant is. 】

[The mysterious merchant is a merchant who wanders in the realm of yin and yang. He is known for his mysteriousness, his whereabouts are unpredictable, it is difficult for ordinary people to meet him, and only a very few European emperors can touch him. 】

[There are several people who have encountered mysterious merchants in history, and the most famous of them is Qin Shi Huang. He had come across the Mystery Merchant when he was very young, and he had purchased the ability to unify the world from the Mystery Merchant. Later, Qin Shi Huang really unified the world. 】

[The reason why Qin Shi Huang always believed in the elixir of life was also because he had seen the elixir of life from a mysterious merchant. 】

[To get back to the point, the Mystery Merchant sells some items of great value. It could be an elixir, it could be an artifact golden hoop stick, or it could be a mythical beast egg... In short, you can think of everything you can think of. 】

[Perhaps, even the Jade Emperor's butt wiping paper is there.] 】

[The mysterious merchant has a strange rule: he does not accept money transactions, only barter. The more precious something is to you, the more valuable it is in his eyes. And the more valuable things he has in his store, the more precious the things he wants. 】

[So if you want to get something from a mysterious merchant, three words, it's not easy!]

"That's it!"

"Forget it. ”

Zhang Sheng was not interested.

His precious things are only his relatives and friends, and it is impossible to exchange these things.

And if you take something unimportant to exchange.

He can't afford to change expensive things, and he doesn't necessarily want things to change.

So instead of running thousands of miles to find someone who may not be able to touch, it is better to stay at home and recuperate your body and mind.

The body is the most precious thing in a human being.

As long as you are in good health, you can get anything through hard work.

Hey, I'm such a positive little angel.

At night, the starry sky is lonely.

The grass and trees outside the window look a little seeping.

Zhang Sheng lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, he looked up at the sky, trying to count the stars to put himself to sleep.

"One star, two stars..."

"One hundred and sixty-eight stars... Three thousand six hundred and ninety-eight stars..."

For some reason, the more he counted, the more excited he became, and he couldn't sleep at all.

The stars in the sky blinked and seemed to be talking to him.

"Are you also the one who can't sleep?"

"Coincidentally, so did I. ”

The sky was filled with a layer of mist, which blended with the black and cyan sky. Outside the house, a crow was heard.

"Ka~Ka~Ka~"

After three crows.

Suddenly, the stars and moons and pine lights outside the window suddenly lost their brilliance, and only the clear light filled the house.

Zhang Sheng was startled and looked through the window, like the head teacher secretly lying in the back window.

The outside of the courtyard is full of light, as if a treasure has been born.

Zhang Sheng searched for the item that emitted light, and it was a small box that was not big and square.

It was in a man's hand.

This man was none other than the driver next to the fat man.

The purple light in his eyes flickered, and a trace of thunder and lightning appeared in his hand, and the thunder and lightning entered the box, and the colored light on the box was even more abundant.

There was a person standing next to the driver, who looked like a girl from the figure, and it was a little familiar.

"What are these two guys doing here in the middle of the night, and what are they doing?"

Zhang Sheng touched his chin and thought.

Their conversation could be faintly heard.

"The door that appeared this time is about to open again, and according to the inference of big data, this time it can exist for three hours. ”

"We have to cultivate as soon as possible, improve our strength, and it is best to break through the current level. ”

After the two men said these words, they didn't know what method was used, and they opened the box.

In the next moment, the two men disappeared.

There was only one box left on the ground, and the colored light disappeared into an ordinary box.

Zhang Sheng wiped his eyes in disbelief.

"I'll wipe it, fake it. Two big living people just disappeared?"

"Did you see the system?" Zhang Sheng's eyes were about to pop out in surprise.

[Hey, you haven't seen the world before. 】

[It's a shame. Isn't it just a box that opens the 'door'? What's all the fuss?]

"What door?"

"Doraemon's portal?"

[Pretty much.] It is also a gateway to other worlds. This door is a magic weapon left by the ancient power before the aura disappears. Through it, you can open the door to other worlds at the junction of yin and yang, and go to the world behind the door. 】

"Ancient power?"

"The world behind the door?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

[You're not stupid!]

[Didn't someone tell you before that Reiki is constantly reviving? Don't you understand the meaning of revival? That is, there was Reiki a long time ago. 】

[A long time ago, some talented people awakened abilities through aura, and improved their abilities by mastering more aura. And those who have reached the top are the great powers of antiquity!]

[When these great powers leave this world, they will leave behind the things they have learned all their lives and their perception of Reiki and put them behind the door for their disciples to cultivate. 】

[Judging from the energy fluctuations, this should be some kind of door to the blessed earth.] The aura behind the door is abundant, and for cultivators, the longer they stay inside, the faster their strength will improve. 】

Zhang Sheng was dizzy.

"Cultivators, what's that?"

"Is it like Monkey King?"

[It's not.] Sun Wukong is not the same as a practitioner. 】

[Practitioner is the name that arises after the disappearance of the aura.] 'Practice' is a method of practice invented by some unwilling people. They can use this method to absorb the dark energy in heaven and earth and transform it into aura. Those who cultivate according to this method are cultivators. 】

[The mysterious merchant mentioned earlier is also a type of cultivator. 】

"That's right. ”

"Can I go in and have a look?"

[Yes, but it doesn't make sense.] 】

[You don't practice the exercises. If you go, you can only go shopping, so it's better to go to bed early. 】

[After all, the world behind the door is quite dangerous. 】

"Danger, what's the danger?"

[Where there is enough aura, a kind of insect called a roe deer will be produced, and the more abundant the aura, the more such roe deer. They will follow the aura to come to people, burrow into people's bodies, and lay eggs. These eggs burst out of the human body, absorb enough aura, and then emerge from the human body. 】

[But there's more danger than that...]

"Okay, I know, I'm not going. ”

Zhang Sheng returned to the bed, buried the quilt, and said, "Sleep." ”

This night, I slept too unsteadily.

He kept dreaming that there were disgusting little bugs burrowing into his body and laying eggs inside him. And he couldn't do anything about it, he could only watch these insects arrogant.

It's a nightmare.

Time flies, and it's the next day.

Sweeping away the boredom of the rainy night, today's sunlight tentatively slipped through the window early and quietly slipped into Zhang Sheng's bedroom.

Zhang Sheng's sleepy eyes opened loosely, and he pushed open the window in a daze. The soft sunlight seemed to have finally shown its power at this moment, and it invaded every corner of Zhang Sheng's house openly.

Soon, the whole bedroom emitted a scent after the sun caressed it, as sweet as wheat tooth candy.

This kind of sunny day is especially suitable for lying on the couch and playing with your phone.

Zhang Sheng opened his phone, and there was a text message in it.

It's a text message that Mao doesn't easy to send.

"Are you going out for a drink?"

"Drinking in broad daylight?Does Mao Buyi have something on his mind?" Zhang Sheng put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
