Chapter 2: Monkeys
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ye Fan was already faintly excited in his heart, he would get sick in the middle of the month, which was more similar to the symptoms of taking Jinyanghua seedlings, if there was really Jinyanghua here, it would be a relief for himself now.
It's just that Ye Fan can only think about it in his heart now, whether the other party can only decide if he needs to be diagnosed after taking Jinyanghua, and besides, if he goes up so rashly now, there is a chance that he will be regarded as a liar, so Ye Fan is anxious, but he is helpless.
A few hours of travel was about to pass, and when he heard the news that he was about to arrive in Zhonghai on the radio, Ye Fan really couldn't bear it, so he simply got up and walked to the old man's side.
"This old gentleman, with all due respect, have you ever eaten something called a golden sunflower?" If you can find a golden sunflower at this time, maybe you will be able to enter the qi cultivation period in one fell swoop, and in that way, you will have at least some self-preservation strength on this unfamiliar earth. So although Ye Fan asked lightly, he was actually nervous.
Hearing Ye Fan's sudden question, the old man couldn't react for a while, and when he saw the trace of nervousness unintentionally revealed on Ye Fan's face, he smiled as if he had some understanding: "Jinyanghua? I haven't paid attention to this, but I think I haven't eaten it." After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to jokingly glance at the girl next to him.
"Grandpa, it's time to get to the station, let's go, I think Mom and Dad should have been waiting. Being teased by her grandfather, the girl obviously misunderstood Ye Fan's intention, although she was ashamed, but her self-cultivation since she was a child made her unable to say anything to Ye Fan, so she could only urge her grandfather to leave as soon as possible.
There is no time to force it, looking at the two people who had already walked out of the carriage, Ye Fan sighed silently, and walked out.
As the economic center of China, Ye Fan, who had just walked out of the station, deeply experienced the enthusiasm of the people of Zhonghai. After once again declining the aunt sent by a small hotel to solicit tourists, Ye Fan touched the only few hundred yuan left in his pocket, quite helpless. Even this kind of lowest-level small hotel costs more than 200 yuan a night, and I don't know how long I can last with this little money.
"Brother, are you here for a tour?" Just when Ye Fan was at a loss, a lean young man came over.
"Well, sort of. Something?" Sensing that there was no malice on the other party, Ye Fan opened his mouth and replied.
"Hehe, what can I do, I say that all the worlds are brothers, I saw you standing here alone in a daze, so I came over to ask. My name is Liu Quan, and my friends call me a monkey, what do you call my brother?
"My name is Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn't mind the inferior cigarettes in the monkey's hands, but the taste was much rougher than the cigarettes in his memory.
"Hey, aren't you afraid that I'll drug or something in it?" Seeing that Ye Fan smoked his own cigarette without hesitation, the monkey looked at him in surprise.
"You won't. "Although there is no cultivation, the perception of breath still exists, even if the other party only has a trace of malice, it can't escape Ye Fan's eyes.
"Okay, brother. Just this sentence to you, your friend and I are a monkey. Don't you know that those people look at me as if the cigarettes I share are a plague, and they all think that I want to harm them, MD, am I a monkey? Let's go, brother, your first time in Zhonghai, right? I'll be the host today, and I'll have a good meal. In just four words, it made the monkey complain, and then he couldn't help but say that Ye Fan must do his best to be a landlord.
The monkey's behavior with the meaning of rivers and lakes may be difficult for modern people to accept, but Ye Fan felt a trace of familiarity from it, thinking that he was fine, so he followed the other party.
After following the monkey through the streets and alleys, Ye Fan finally got to the place, and Ye Fan knew that the other party's so-called good meal was nothing more than a food stall on the side of the road, but fortunately, Ye Fan didn't care much about this kind of thing. After finding a vacant seat and sitting down, the monkey was already familiar with the shop to order.
"Brother, you rarely come to this kind of place, do you?" It didn't take long for the monkey to come back, and after giving Ye Fan a cigarette, he sat down with a big grin, grabbed the coarse tea prepared by the store and poured a big sip.
"Well, it's the first time. "There is no information about this kind of place in my memory, and the Ye family disdains to come to this kind of place in the past, Ye Fan said honestly.
"I can see that you should be the kind of rich man who comes from a rich family, but it is better to get along than I imagined. By the way, brother, are you interested in cultural relics and antiques?" Although he was kicked out of the Ye family, Ye Fan was still wearing the original clothes at the moment, and the monkey also knew something about this kind of luxury brand that cost tens of thousands at every turn.
"Cultural relics and antiques?" The other party's thinking jumped too much, but Ye Fan didn't understand what he meant.
"Heh, it's some weird gadgets. Don't hide it from my brother, just my image, I can't find a good job here, I usually pull some guests to the City God's Temple antique market next to it, get some commissions, if my brother is interested, we will go to see it after dinner, it doesn't matter if I'm not interested, just make you a friend when I'm a monkey. After taking a puff of cigarette, the monkey said with some curtle.
"That's right, brother, you're lucky, in a few days it should be the time when the Hidden Word Sect opens, and there will be a lot of big people coming over, it is said that the last time the Hidden Word Sect was opened, there was a real estate owner who spent more than 10 million to buy a bottle of pills, that is, some black things, I really don't know what these rich people think. As if remembering something, the monkey continued after extinguishing the cigarette butt.
"Oh, then I'm going to see it. After a long time, Ye Fan finally understood the other party's purpose, and his feelings were to try his luck as a rich man, but he didn't know that his pocket might be cleaner than him. However, the words behind the monkey aroused Ye Fan's interest.
Both sides have their own plans, and a meal can be regarded as a pleasure for both guests and hosts. After settling the account, the monkey led Ye Fan towards the City God Temple Market.
Along the way, the monkey told Ye Fan a lot of interesting things that happened in the market, but most of them were related to the Hidden Character School, which made Ye Fan's interest in the Hidden Word School stronger and stronger. If your guess is correct, the things sold by this Hidden Character Sect should be some ordinary pills and magic weapons.
While talking, the two of them quickly arrived at the place. This is a large bazaar on the outskirts of Zhonghai, and the entrance of the bazaar is symbolically pestled with a mahogany gate, on which are hung several large characters of the City God's Temple Antique Market, somewhat similar to the gathering on the sky star.
"Brother, although this place is mostly deceptive gadgets, there are also some good things that occasionally come out, why don't I show you around?" said the monkey tentatively when he came to the door.
"Okay, since you're here, let's take a look. Seeing this familiar scene, Ye Fan was already a little interested, and simply agreed with the monkey's statement.
Although the monkey is not good-looking, there are many people he knows, and along the way, Ye Fan can't remember how many stall owners have greeted the monkey, but these people's stalls are full of ordinary bottles and cans, and Ye Fan is not very interested.
Just when Ye Fan was disappointed, something swept in his eyes caught his attention, and without thinking about it, Ye Fan walked towards the stall.
This stall is similar to the previous one, most of the things placed are bottles and cans, this kind of thing Ye Fan is of course not interested, what he likes is a black stone in the corner of the stall.
"Boss, what do you like, although I say that my old Zhou's things are not adulterated, they are all real things. The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw Ye Fan standing in front of his stall, he hurriedly greeted him enthusiastically.
"How do you sell this thing?" As soon as he touched his hand, Ye Fan was sure that this was a piece of black jade, and although he knew that he was shy in his pocket, Ye Fan couldn't help but ask.
Seeing the things in Ye Fan's hand, Lao Zhou glanced at the other party in some surprise, and after confirming that Ye Fan was not joking with himself, he laughed again: "The boss has a good eye." First of all, he slapped a fart without a trace, and Lao Zhou continued, "This thing is terrible, it was used to press paper when the Mingshen Sect wrote the holy decree during the Wanli period, I see that you are also a person who knows the goods, if you really want it, take it for 20,000 yuan." ”
Knowing that the other party was talking nonsense, Ye Fan was not easy to refute, although this thing in the other party's hand could be said to be worthless, but Ye Fan was completely sure that he could use it to refine some low-grade magic weapons, and 20,000 yuan was really not expensive.
"I said brother, why did you come here without saying a word, I was looking for you for a long time, what's the matter, what do you like?" Just when Ye Fan was considering his words, it was the monkey who came over, looked at Ye Fan with a big grin, and said.
