Three days later, the living room of the Six Kings' Mansion.

The six princesses invited a few good ladies of the family to a banquet on the grounds of a small gathering, and asked Yuan Jing to accompany Ouyang Mei to the banquet.

Before the banquet began, Lei Shaoxuan was accompanied by Hua Qing and entered the living room.

In the middle of the living room, Wu Ning, Ouyang Mei, Yuan Jing and several other ladies of the family sat around.

Knowing that Lei Shaoxuan came to the door with the jade pendant given by Yuan Wenbo, several ladies had different expressions, and their families all had enmity with Yuan Wenbo, and they all became vigilant towards Lei Shaoxuan, Ouyang Mei and Yuan Jing were quite anxious on their faces, and Wu Ning forced him to calm down.

"Is my father doing well in the Sea of Bitterness?" Lei Shaoxuan finished seeing the salute one by one, and Yuan Jing couldn't wait to ask.

Yuan Jing is worthy of being one of the four beauties of Xijing. The body is medium, graceful, the shoulders are thin and thin, the cherry lips are red without dots, the curved willow eyebrows are green without painting, the skin is like congealed white snow, and the eyes are anxious and sad, which is distressing.

"I'm not familiar with Mr. Yuan," Lei Shaoxuan said apologetically, "Besides, Mr. Yuan is on death row and I'm in the forward camp, the two places are far apart, and I don't know how Mr. Yuan lives." ”

"Then how did you get this jade pendant?" Wu Ning asked strangely.

"I bought it in a death row camp for twenty taels of silver. Lei Shaoxuan said calmly.

"Who bought it from?" Wu Ning Huo Ran stood up, his face unkind.

The jade pendant was Yuan Jing's belongings that day, and Yuan Wenbo would never sell it for twenty taels of silver, so there must be something strange about this matter.

"On the same day, I was selected to leave the death row camp in the forward battalion, and before leaving, I passed by the door of a camp tent and saw an old man selling jade pendants on the ground. The old man, dressed in rags and with a haggard face, was obviously short of food and clothing, and was forced to sell his valuable things to buy food and clothing for the winter. Lei Shaoxuan said.

"This kind of thing is very common in death row camps. Lei Shaoxuan added.

Hearing that her father was suffering like this, Yuan Jing was overwhelmed with grief, and tears suddenly flowed down.

Lei Shaoxuan was full of apologies in his heart, if he told the true situation, it would be extremely unfavorable to Yuan Jing and himself, and for the sake of Yuan Jing's future, he had to lie.

"The living conditions in the death row camps are extremely difficult and cruel, no one has the heart to pay attention to dressing up, jade pendants cannot be eaten or worn, so they are not worth much, and no one buys them. Lei Shaoxuan said: "I saw the old man's sad expression, and he relented for a while, and bid ten taels of silver to let the old man sell the jade pendant to me." ”

This is not a jade pendant, but Yuan Wenbo's daughter, and everyone's hearts are raised.

"At that time, the old man bid twenty taels of silver and refused to lower the price, and I was very embarrassed. ”

Lei Shaoxuan said: "The old man said that there was a daughter in the family, and he promised me his daughter, and the jade pendant was used as proof." If my daughter is not married, I can marry her daughter with a jade pendant, and if I am not willing to marry, I can exchange it for two hundred taels of silver, ten times the return, which is also a good business. To marry or not to marry, everything is up to me. Said that I would have the opportunity to come to Xijing to find my friend Liuwang, and then I could complete the transaction. ”

The crowd is petrified.

Yuan Wenbo, a dignified generation of famous ministers, a hero, sold his biological daughter for ten taels of silver?

There are schadenfreude, there are doubts, there are secret angers, and there are joys and sorrows.

The family all had a grudge against Yuan Wenbo, and when they learned that Yuan Wenbo was in such a tragic situation, he was forced to sell his daughter in order to buy clothes and food, and the wife of the family couldn't help but feel gloating.

The lady of the family not only did not hate Lei Shaoxuan, but had a good impression, and couldn't wait to hope that Lei Shaoxuan would marry Yuan Jing immediately. Letting Yuan Jing marry a lowly death row sergeant is like falling into a fire pit, so that the world can watch the excitement.

The one who was suspicious was Wu Ning, who knew very well that Yuan Wenbo was a human being, and he would rather die than give in, so how could he sell his daughter for the sake of hunger and cold? Lei Shaoxuan did not decide to marry or not to marry Yuan Jing on the spot, which seemed to have a deep meaning, and it was more like Yuan Wenbo's arrangement.

Ouyang Mei was naturally secretly angry. Yuan Jing's surname is Yuan not Ouyang, and Yuan Wenbo is in charge of life's major events, but does he really want his daughter to marry an underground army

The official couldn't help but be angry at Yuan Wenbo.

Yuan Jing Bingxue is smart, and she has faintly heard from Lei Shaoxuan's words that it is actually up to Yuan Jing to decide whether to marry or not, and two hundred taels of silver is nothing more than an excuse and a step.

The sad thing is that my father is suffering in the Bitter Sea death camp, and he has no one to take care of him when he is old, and he doesn't know if he is doing well.

Lei Shaoxuan's words seemed like child's play, but in front of the six kings, no one would think that Lei Shaoxuan dared to lie, and no one would have thought that Lei Shaoxuan was just to give Yuan Jing the freedom to marry, and not let the family hate themselves because of it.

Ouyang Mei was angry and anxious, and said: "Just based on your words, how can people believe that the master will marry his daughter to you? ”

It takes a year to go back and forth in the bitter sea, and no matter whether this matter is true or not, during this period, the daughter will not be able to get married.

This matter is true, it was delayed for a year in vain; this matter is false, Lei Shaoxuan simply said that he didn't want to marry, what can Lei Shaoxuan do?

Knowing this, Ouyang Mei sat back in her seat.

Wu Ning had already faintly realized, and said with a smile: "The jade pendant is a birthday gift from this king to Jing'er back then, and the jade pendant is the evidence, how can it be fake? I think it's so decided, Lei Xian's nephew will go back to discuss with the elders in the family first, whether to marry or not, and decide as soon as possible, so that Jing'er can prepare the dowry." ”

Lei Shaoxuan said with a smile: "The captain's annual salary is only twenty taels of silver, and two hundred taels of silver is ten years, which is a huge amount of money. I am too poor to support such a noble girl as Miss Yuan, so I have to think carefully about whether to marry or not. ”

Hua Qing almost laughed, this Lei Shaoxuan is really bad, Gongsun Qian is a famous rich woman, and she is reluctant to marry her daughter-in-law for two hundred taels of silver?

When Yuan Jing heard this, her willow eyebrows rose upside down, and she glared angrily: "Are you saying that my two hundred taels of silver are not worth it, and I would rather have two hundred taels of silver than me?" ”

Everyone was stunned.

Yuan Jingmei is beautiful, but she is too rude, and she deserves to be one of the four beauties in Xijing.

A few days later, Lei Shaoxuan accompanied Lishui and the others to Monk's Fang City.

A valley under Qingyin Mountain in the west of the city, the mountains are full of peach trees, and the Shen family in Xijing has a peach blossom manor here.

In the past, the peach blossom manor was hidden in the peach forest, when it was deep winter, the peach trees were scattered, only to reveal the high wall and deep courtyard, and the towering platform.

Entering the villa, an open space suddenly appeared, and the two sides of the open space were like a market, with stalls next to each other.

The simple stalls, one person on the ground, spread out a piece of cloth or animal skin, put a few items; a little more people set up an open shed, set up a low platform; luxurious, the magic weapons into pavilions, the ability to turn the magic weapons into pavilions, most of them are temporary mobile stalls for the sect; regular customers who participate in the fang market all the year round use some pavilions in the manor as shops.

There are many monks in Fang City, there are all kinds of cultivation levels, and Yuanying monks are not uncommon, but it seems that the mortal is probably only Lei Shaoxuan, and the mortals in the manor have been evacuated.

Monks are not indifferent to the fireworks of the world, and the resources of cultivation also need to be exchanged, and the monks' bazaar is no different from the mortal bazaar.

In the mortal bazaar, the most placed are daily necessities such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., as well as various luxury luxuries.

In the monks' bazaar, the most placed are also the monks' daily necessities, such as pills, spiritual grass, rune paper, ritual utensils, various ritual materials, etc., all of which are numerous.

Mortals need money to make a living, and monks also need resources to practice, continue the sect, and so on.

You can't steal or rob, you can only rely on exchange.

The more powerful the sect, the more resources it needs. In order to cultivate, for the sake of the sect, no matter how powerful and profound the master monk is, he has to put down his face, honestly build magic weapons, refine all kinds of pills and sell them, and at the same time, sometimes not

You don't have to go to the market to buy supplies in person.

Therefore, in the annual Xijing Monks' Workshop City, there are countless high-ranking people and sect shops.

It is customary to form a market in the fang, and most of the pavilions are also fixed, and the shop logos of each faction can be seen on the plaques of the pavilions.

Danbao Pavilion is the shop opened by the famous Jiudan Sect, which mainly sells all kinds of pills; Zhenbao Building belongs to Yantian Sect and is famous for creating magic weapons; Star Swirl Pavilion is the logo of the Star Machine Gate, specializing in formation arrays and so on.

More often than not, there are stalls where monks sell their surplus belongings to buy what they desperately need.

The resources of the sect are limited, and it is impossible to meet the cultivation needs of each monk, and more cultivation resources must be obtained by oneself.

Lei Shaoxuan accompanied Lishui and others to wander around the market.

Lishui's main target is Lingcao, while Lu Ling and Tianxiang are looking for a magic weapon that suits them, and what makes Lei Shaoxuan laugh and cry is that Tianxiang seems to be more interested in monk decoration and beauty pills.

Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, everyone has a love for beauty, and immortals are no exception.

When he came to a stall, Lei Shaoxuan suddenly looked happy.

"Purple Snake Lotus. Lei Shaoxuan said in surprise, "Master, the purple snake lotus is an antidote to the holy medicine. ”

An old man with a wrinkled face sat upright on the ground, and on a piece of animal skin spread out in front of him, there were several kinds of spiritual grasses, and a snake lotus was verdant and dripping, shining with warm and bright light.

Lishui shook his head, the medicinal stone is ineffective against the poison of the golden pill, any detoxification spirit grass is useless, only the spirit grass spirit tree spirit fruit with the power of chaos may be useful.

An item that contains the power of chaos, but not necessarily an antidote artifact.

"Excuse me, old man," Lei Shaoxuan pondered for a moment and said hello, "Can I inquire about something?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, seeing that Lishui and the others had extraordinary temperaments, and understood that most of the people in front of him were sect monks, but he didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Please speak." ”

"I saw that the elixirs collected by the old gentleman were all wild, with different varieties, and they should be people who specialize in collecting medicines. Lei Shaoxuan arched his hand and said, "My master cultivates a special elixir, which requires an elixir containing the power of chaos, I don't know if Mr. has ever heard of it, can he collect it for us? ”

The old man pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Chaos gives birth to all things, and the power of chaos is the mother of spiritual power, and it cannot exist alone in heaven and earth, even if there is the power of chaos, it will disappear between heaven and earth in an instant." ”

"Since ancient times, isn't there an elixir with the power of chaos?" Lei Shaoxuan asked unrelentingly.

"In ancient times, there was a spirit grass called Flying Dragon Palm Blood. This medicine grows in the land of the five spirits, the abyss of the dragon's death, the swamp of yin and evil, and the place where the five spirits are complete, yin and yang are all ready, in order to survive, such a harsh growth environment, where can it be found? ”

"Sir, I urgently need this kind of spirit grass to save my life," Lei Shaoxuan was quite moved, since he had the blood of the flying dragon's palm, maybe there were other spirit grasses, "I don't know what other similar spirit grasses there are?"

There is also a kind of unicorn flower, which is a kind of ancient thorny flower, the flower blooms with five petals and two stamens, and the five petals are white, green, black, red, and yellow. ”

The old man stroked his beard and said, "The unicorn flower is even rarer, it can only survive if it is born in the soil of resting soil, or it can be born on the corpse of a Chaos Spirit Root Cultivator. The corpse needs to be the corpse of a powerful monk, and after the death of an ordinary monk, the corpse quickly decays and turns into dust, where can it still provide nutrients for the spirit grass?"

"The unicorn flower is a corpse flower?" Lei Shaoxuan frowned slightly, "It's too disgusting, isn't it?"

Lishui, Lu Ling, and Tianxiang also felt uncomfortable when they heard this.

"Dust to dust, soil to earth, monks steal the essence of heaven and earth for their own use, and after death, the body turns into dust, and it is also the way of heaven to raise spiritual grass. The old man said disapprovingly.

"Anything else?" asked Lei Shaoxuan.
