Chapter 1237 - Identity Token (1st Update)
"Get in!"
The person who led Meng Fan snorted, and his words were very polite.
Immediately, an old voice sounded behind the door: "Ah Hong, don't you want to do business anymore, don't you, scared away the guests, do you pay the rent money to the owner this month?"
When the man named Ah Hong heard this, he owed a debt, and made a gesture of invitation to Meng Fan: "Come in and talk about it! ”
Meng Fan pursed the corners of his mouth and stepped into the threshold.
"Young man, sit inside. Inside the door stood an old man with gray hair, his face was full of wrinkles and his skin was dull, he enthusiastically stretched out his hand, pointed to a chair in front of the counter, and said, "Have you worked hard all the way?"
"It's fine. Meng Fan nodded at the old man and walked over slowly.
There are shelves on both sides of the wall of the store, on which there are some messy objects, which are used for life for a long time, which is slightly different from the secular world, not so many colors and materials, mostly handmade of wood, with a unique shape, one of the wooden combs reminds Meng Fan of the one in the creek.
Meng Fan picked up the wooden comb, and his fingers gently flicked the comb, making a nice string sound.
"Sit down!" The old man walked to the back of the counter, saw Meng Fan holding a wooden comb thoughtfully, and politely opened his mouth, then poured a cup of tea and put it on the counter, "My shop, I can't continue to operate for a long time, the things sold are very cheap, but no one comes to buy them, but someone orders things from the secular world to me, but this place is too far away from the secular world, and it is not enough to pay for the journey, so the old man made it himself, so that the distinguished guests smiled." ”
"Well done. Meng Fan put the wooden comb back, smiled, and then sat down on the wooden chair.
"Squeak!" the man called Ah Hong closed the door and stood by the door.
"Where did the distinguished guests come from?" the old man also sat down, the counter was not high, but like a long tea table just over the waist, "There have been no newcomers for some days." ”
"From outside the Eighteen Mountains. Meng Fan replied.
"That's a long way off. The old man's face was filled with the heat from the teacup, giving people a very cordial feeling, "The old man has been out of the city for a long time, and this shop can't continue to operate, I'm afraid I'm going to leave this Qingqiu City and go back to my hometown! ”
The old man made a gesture: "The old man is eighty years old this year. ”
Meng Fan put his hand on the teacup, warmly, and said with a smile: "Not old, for the powerhouse of the Heaven Slaying Realm, eighty is in the prime of life." ”
"Hehe!" The old man grinned, his wrinkles stretched out, but there was a hint of surprise hidden in his eyes, I don't know how Meng Fan knew about his cultivation, "The old man went from the earth to the sky decades ago, and he wanted to go further in this Qingqiu City, but unfortunately he couldn't break through the next layer for a long time, I'm afraid that he will die of old age in this realm, honorable guest, you are also the sky, right?"
Seeing that the old man spoke brightly, Meng Fan smiled and said: "I have just broken through the heavens, uncle, there are opportunities everywhere along the way to cultivation, maybe you will be able to go further tomorrow." ”
When the old man heard this, he laughed, his complexion instantly improved a lot, pointed to Ah Hong who was standing at the door, and said with hatred: "Ah Hong, you idiot learn more from our distinguished guest, if someone talks half well, I will throw this shop to you tomorrow, go back to my hometown, you will go to Baihuafang one day if you like to go to Baihuafang, Lao Tzu doesn't care about you." ”
Ah Hong kept his face calm and did not speak.
The old man took a sip of tea, motioned for Meng Fan to take a sip as well, and said: "Ah Hong is my son, he is very unsuccessful, I brought him to Qingqiu City, I wanted him to make achievements in cultivation, but he turned out to be good, his cultivation did not grow, but there was no girl in Baihuafang who did not know, I was really angry with the old man." ”
Meng Fan said with a smile: "I've saved enough Yuexuan Stone, and I'll go." ”
Ah Hong raised his head and glanced at Meng Fan: "When you go, just mention my name, and I will send two more glasses of wine." ”
The old man picked up a pen and threw it at Ah Hong, and scolded with a smile: "You thing that doesn't grow up, and you have to pull guests into the water!"
Ah Hong raised his hand to catch the pen and said unhappily: "The sixteenth!"
The old man sighed, glanced at Meng Fan, seemed to realize that he was verbose, and shifted the topic to the topic: "Distinguished guest, were you told when you came that it would cost some Yuexuan Stones to do things with me?" ”
"As it should be. Meng Fan nodded, he was not short of the Moon Stones now, and he also collected the more than 1,000 Moon Stones that were given to the guards, "It's a pity that I was in a hurry when I came, and I only prepared some rough stones, I don't know if it's okay?"
"No problem. The old man smiled gently, "In this city, the rough stone can also be spent, but after all, it is a rough stone, not a finished product, and the value should be reduced, but the old man and the distinguished guest have a good eye, and they can say it, so they will not charge more, according to the old rules, you can just give me five hundred rough stones." ”
"Thank you. Meng Fan waved his hand and took out a bag and handed it to the old man from the counter, "It should be enough." ”
"Sure enough. The old man checked the bag, made a rattling sound, did not count, put it under the counter, and then looked directly at Meng Fan's face, and said in a low voice, "Honorable guest, if it weren't for Ah Hong's unsuccessful son, the old man would definitely not do this kind of business, if he is caught, there is only one way to die, and you don't have too many five hundred moon Xuanshi, the old man is betting on his life." ”
Hong frowned at the door.
Meng Fan said: "Not much. ”
"The old man also inadvertently discovered that Qingqiu City's identity token was loophole. The old man took out a three-inch-long jade plaque, white all over, with complicated patterns carved on it, faintly revealing subtlety, and continued, "This loophole can allow the old man to help people make a new identity, and there has never been a mistake, even those old patrols, can not see the slightest clue, please rest assured." ”
"As for the role of the identity token, there is no need for the old man to say more, presumably the distinguished guests also know, without the token, it is difficult to move an inch in the city, no matter what you are trading, or living in a store and renting a house, you must first show the token, especially during the lockdown period, once it is found that there is no token, it will be regarded as an invasion of Qingqiu City, no matter what killing, you will definitely die!"
As he spoke, the old man put the jade plate on the counter, took out a small cup, like a wine cup for drinking in the old days, put it in front of Meng Fan, and said, "Now I will help you make a new identity, please take a cup of blood from your guests." ”
Meng Fan hesitated slightly, and quietly looked at the token, there was nothing special about it, and the old man didn't look like a sinister and vicious person, so he didn't want to harm him, so he cut his fingertips and dripped a cup of blood.
The old man picked up the small cup full of blood in his left hand, pinched the trick with his right hand, and recited the words, the jade plate placed on the counter suddenly shone with a white halo, and the old man immediately poured the blood onto the jade plate, Meng Fan suddenly felt in a trance, as if he had some kind of spiritual connection with the jade plate.
After a moment, the aura of the jade plate dissipated, and the whole body turned red.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, picked up the jade plate and looked at it for a while, and said, "Okay!"
And Ah Hong, who was standing by the door, suddenly flashed a clear light in his eyes, and walked slowly towards Meng Fan.
The old man's gaze at Meng Fan suddenly became cold, and he pinched the jade card fiercely, and shouted, "Broken!"
Meng Fan suddenly realized that he was overshadowed, and hurriedly reached out to grab the jade plate, but it was already a step too late, and with a "click", the jade card shattered......
