Volume 1: Sacrifice to the Young Man Chapter 24 Tonggu
Antler Alley, people cheer and horses chirping.
As the oldest alley in Ningcheng, it can be said that it has witnessed the changes of this small city for countless years.
It is said that the entire city of Ningcheng was expanded on the basis of this alley.
After countless years of development, the gathering and dispersion of caravans and merchants, the collision of wealth and longing, countless strange items finally settled in this alley, or were washed away, or covered by the dust of time.
Some people say that Bole knows horses, and some people say that the pearl is dusty.
It is believed that for countless years, there must have been treasures in the dust of this alley, just waiting for someone to be destined.
Therefore, this ancient alley has become a treasure hunting place and opportunity place in the hearts of people in Ningcheng County.
However, over the years, there have been very few inspirational legends like that kind of shocking treasures and blockbusters. But even so, it hasn't dampened people's enthusiasm for treasure hunting.
After all, ordinary people, or people who are not very talented, also have dreams in their hearts, dreaming that one day, they can step into a higher world of cultivation.
Although it may sound a little illusory and even ridiculous, if the dream is spoken without being ridiculed, then there is no value in realizing it.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and although the alley was crowded and still lively, it was a little less busy than in the early morning. Some of the peddlers sat on the small food stalls on the side of the alley, talking and laughing, chatting with their fellow people at the table, and their eyebrows fluttering. Some old people who are addicted to smoking are leaning on the shade of the alley, "clicking" an old cigarette stick, smoky, like an old fairy.
At this time, Su Chen, after wandering around several alleys, also came to Antler Alley.
The required exercises are still fruitless.
In fact, it's not that the shops he visited before didn't sell exercises, but Su Chen felt that those exercises were not suitable for him.
Aside from the price, those exercises circulating on the market always give people a sense of mediocrity, and after reading them, you can know how far you can cultivate, there is no expectation, and you can see the end at a glance.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that some of the best exercises cannot be circulated on the market, and all the exercises that are amazing are not the focus of the competition between the various forces, and in the end they are regarded as a secret that cannot be passed on to the outside world and become the truth in their hands.
If you don't join those family sects, as a casual cultivator, it can only be said that it is too difficult to find the best exercises in the shops on the street.
So Su Chen, who searched all the way to no avail, came to this treasure hunting place and chance alley.
Su Chen, who was mixed in the crowd at this time, didn't seem to be in a very good mood, not to mention the distress of searching for the exercises to no avail, just some personal encounters along the way made him very unhappy.
At noon before, in order to solve the hunger in his stomach, Su Chen was ready to eat casually at the small food stall on the side of the alley, but it was overcrowded, so in order not to delay time, Su Chen did not stop and wait, but looked for it while walking, and finally came to an atmospheric restaurant.
Who knew that before he crossed the threshold of the restaurant, he was stopped by a young woman in a bewitching palace costume with a rich posture and three twists in one step, and did not say a few words, and learned that Su Chen had no gold or silver, and when he was only twelve years old, the enchanting young woman knocked him away from the restaurant, and muttered from time to time: "The childish hair is not even, how can it be more than a family?"
Su Chen was puzzled.
But then outside the restaurant, Su Chen saw the enchanting young woman in the crispy and soft sound into the bones, bringing those aggressive merry boys into the restaurant, and he didn't forget it during the period, one step three twists, one step at a time, three steps and one big rub, he seemed to understand the young woman's words.
Immediately hit a spirit, the hairs stood up, and he hurriedly left the restaurant.
This red dust is really red dust.
After that, Su Chen went to Qianzhuang, thinking that many monks were in a hurry to use spirit stones, and the ratio of gold coins would be higher, but he didn't expect that the shopkeeper of Qianzhuang couldn't move the ten thousand bilies, and finally had to exchange for a gold coin of spirit stones, and left Qianzhuang angrily. During this period, those guys who saw the process in their eyes did not forget to point out to him.
And in the process of Su Chen's search for exercises, some of the guys in the shop were even more unkind to him, as if the more polite he was, the more the other party intensified.
A person like him, who had just reached the threshold of spiritual attraction, seemed to be at the bottom of the chain of contempt in the shop that sold treasures.
Yes, it is shallow on paper, and you need to be slaughtered to understand the rivers and lakes.
The elegant and easy-going appearance, coupled with the low-key personality, has become an easy target for bullying.
But be a low-key person, be cautious in cultivating, don't show your teeth and claws, and be careful.
There are too many helplessness in life, you don't have to take it to heart, you have to find the exercises.
......
An hour later, after some searching for Su Chen, the exercises were still fruitless. The small alley was basically searched by him, although the name of this place is called treasure hunting, but compared with the shops in other prosperous alleys, many shops here are still inferior, at least on the bright side, the objects sold are obviously different from other shops.
As for whether there are dusty treasures or not, in fact, before they are discovered by destined people, there is not much difference between whether they have them or not.
Standing on the side of the alley, Su Chen suddenly felt dazed, looked at the storage bag on his waist, and sighed impatiently,
"What do I want this spirit stone for!"
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, it is not easy for them to run for a livelihood or work hard for their dreams. Thinking like this, Su Chen shook his head and walked impatiently to the few remaining shops.
There is no illustrious family background, no outstanding talent, no all kinds of things that come from fear, ordinary people who are unwilling to be ordinary want to run for the light, after all, they have to pay a lot of hardships.
Su Chen understands the truth very well. But if you really can't find the exercises you need, whether you choose a random exercise that you can see at a glance, or try to join those family sects and become vassals, it is not satisfactory.
However, the road still has to move forward, although it is not satisfactory, but there is a start, it is better than standing still with a high heart!
At the end of Antler Alley, there were only a few shops, and Su Chen, who was full of thoughts, had unconsciously come to a shop.
The façade of the store is simple, and there is a plaque on the lintel, which is written in gold letters in black and black letters:
The word "Tonggu".
"Tonggu?", seeing the words on the plaque, Su Chen was stunned, and Rao was puzzled.
The word "Tonggu" seems to be extremely exquisite, whether it is through the ancient and the modern, covering the world's bizarre and eccentric, ancient anecdotes, or covering the entire ancient times, following the ancient and the modern, throughout the present and the ancient.
But no matter how you look at it, these two words are extraordinary.
Ancient is a word full of mystery, representing the passing years or the reflection of the present.
Take the time span as an example, what kind of era was before the ancient era, which seems to be full of all kinds of unknowns, which makes people reverie infinitely.
In Su Chen's many years of book career, it seems that there are few descriptions in the books about the years before the ancient era, which seems extremely obscure.
Even if there were, it was scattered, even general, and vague, as if a period of ancient civilization shrouded in endless fog had disappeared into the long river of history.
Su Chen's thoughts fluctuated, his imagination flowed, looking at the word "Tonggu", he thought of many things.
Those holy land dynasties that suppressed heaven and earth before the ancient era, where the ancient family has gone now, it seems that they have not manifested in heaven and earth for a long time, and even there are few records in ancient scriptures.
It seems that with the disappearance of that civilization, many supergiants have also disappeared, and there is no trace of them.
