Chapter 10 Conflict
The masks sold at this mask stall are just toys made for those rich young ladies and gentlemen, and the patterns are also varied, but in that inconspicuous corner, a mask with only black and white attracts Jingchen's attention.
The mask depicts an exaggerated smile, with the corners of the smiling mouth grinning all the way between the temples, a black beard in the shape of a "W" that takes up a large part of the mask, and a black beard that stands up under the lower lip.
There is no place to see the whole mask except for the eyes, and what attracts Jingchen is not how precious this mask is. But in Jingchen's eyes, it is very special!
When Jingchen was still on the blue planet, he saw this kind of mask in a movie, but Jingchen couldn't remember the specifics very clearly, and vaguely knew that where the mask appeared, it was always accompanied by a killing.
Although I don't know what the connection between the two is, anyway, in addition to the Taiji diagram, this is the second thing that I feel familiar with since I came to Shenzhou.
"Boss, how do you sell this mask?" Jingchen seemed to pick it up casually and asked the stall owner.
"This, young master, has a good eye, this mask is a treasure I only discovered recently, the price is cheaper, five silver coins will be sold to you." The stall owner looked very honest, squinted and smiled, and said.
Jing Chen secretly scolded a profiteer, although he had never bought anything, but the inn where he stayed with Jing Yu today was only a few gold coins a night, obviously this stall owner thought that Jing Chen was also a person from one big family or big power, and he didn't look very old, so he would definitely not let go of this opportunity to blackmail Jing Chen.
However, Jing Chen didn't care about anything, and the brocade bag that Jing Yu gave him just now contained a full five hundred gold coins. This mask is still a little related to his previous life, so he should spend money to buy a souvenir.
Jingchen took out a gold coin from the bulging brocade bag, handed it to the stall owner, and said, "Give it to you, don't look for it." ”
This gold coin looked small, almost the size of Jingchen's fingernails, but there were five hundred pieces in the money bag, and it weighed a certain amount of weight.
Jingchen didn't care about the money with the stall owner, although these small stall owners are treacherous, but they also need to support their families, in the final analysis, they are forced by life, and the real treacherous people are the ones upstairs.
"Hey, thank you, young master! I see that you are also happy, I will give you a mask, this is also the best one I sell here!" The stall owner was obviously a little reluctant, although he usually extorted those children's pocket money, but suddenly meeting a person like Jingchen made him a little embarrassed.
Jingchen didn't speak, nodded with a smile, and took the mask.
"Wait, this mask girl wants it too!" The girl's coquettish shouts were particularly conspicuous in this chamber of commerce, and suddenly everyone's eyes were also focused on the girl who was walking towards her.
"Isn't this the young lady of the Liucheng Lord's family?"
"Why is this little aunt here again? It looks like this kid is going to be unlucky!"
"Who doesn't know that in this city, the Liu family is the overlord, if you offend her, don't want to mix in Yang City!"
Everyone's chatter naturally won't escape Jing Chen's ears, Jing Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, this plot is quite a bit of the protagonist of the novel, how did he encounter this kind of thing when he just came out.
The girl looked good, and her delicate body was wrapped in a graceful brocade skirt.
There were three men standing beside the girl, two of them dressed in identical attire and wearing an orange flame badge on their chest. Apparently this flame emblem is a sign of power. And this flame badge, Jingchen seemed to have seen it on the city gate when he entered the city.
The other person looked older than Jingchen, dressed in white, with a white fan in his hand, and his appearance was also quite handsome, which must have fascinated many girls.
Jingchen didn't pay attention to this girl at all, and turned his head and walked towards the depths of the Chamber of Commerce, these gentlemen in the big family always like to regard themselves as the center of the world, and they are domineering everywhere they go.
Seeing that Jingchen ignored the girl, the white-robed young man behind him was slightly angry, but he still said with a smile on his face: "This brother, his face is very raw, he must not be from this Yangcheng, my name is Mo Shan, Yangcheng Mo family." I'll cut this mask from my son at ten times the price, I don't know if it's good?"
The Mo shirt in front of him looked very confident, it seemed that the identity of the Mo family could deter many people in this Yang City, so he moved this identity to the table.
Jingchen is not included in many people, although he doesn't want to cause trouble when he first arrives, but if someone takes the initiative to bully him, Jingchen will not give up on anything, even if this person's strength is stronger than himself!
"I'm sorry, this mask is very important to me, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. This mask is also a kind of thought for Jingchen, although he can't go back to that world, but no matter what, it is also a memory that belongs to him.
"It's your honor that Miss Ben wants to buy your things, why are you so ignorant!" The delicate girl obviously did not do these things less, but it was the first time she had encountered Jingchen's attitude, and those people usually handed over the things obediently before she could speak.
"I have something to do, I'm sorry. Jingchen threw a fist at them, and turned around to leave here.
Seeing that Jingchen was leaving, Mo Yi put away the fan in his hand, and then put his other hand on Jingchen's shoulder, and said slowly: "Little brother, it's just a worthless mask, why bother making the atmosphere so tense." ”
After speaking, the Yuan Qi in his body poured out of the dantian and suppressed Jingchen's shoulder.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mo Shirt likes that girl, so he naturally won't let go of this kind of opportunity.
"Third-Order Yuan Force Realm!" The people around let out a burst of exclamations, although the Third-Order Yuan Force Realm was also considered ordinary here, but this Mo Yi's age was only thirteen years old!
Jing Chen also secretly sighed in his heart, although this Mo shirt is rampant, but this strength is still there, with Jing Chen's current second-order Qi Yuan Realm, how can he be someone's opponent!
The Yuan Qi in Jingchen's body also gradually poured out from the dantian, although Jingchen's strength was not good, but it was obviously impossible for him to sit and wait to die.
When Jingchen's Yuan Qi was first revealed, it caused a burst of laughter around him. Even the girl looked at Jing Chen like a fool, the second-order Qi Yuan Realm was against the third-order Yuan Force, even if Mo Shi let him have two hands, he would not be able to win!
A young man who was as thin as a monkey around him took the lead and sneered: "Boy, hurry up and hand over the things to Young Master Mo, don't be embarrassed by your little strength." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the crowd again, thinking that Jingchen was some kind of thorn, but he didn't expect it to be so unbearable.
Jing Chen clenched his fists tightly, even if he was not the opponent of this Mo Shirt, Shi Ke could not be humiliated, Jing Chen would never allow him to snatch this mask from his hands.
Just when the Mo shirt was about to make a move, there was a commotion in the crowd, and two people slowly walked down from the upper floor, the leader was an old man in a fiery red robe, who looked extremely kind, but there was a little fierceness in his eyes, and he slowly said: "Who is making trouble in my gold chamber of commerce?"
The majestic voice shook the surroundings and fell silent in an instant, and even the Mo shirt made a slight bow to the old man.
Jingchen also followed the voice, but the anger in his heart was quickly replaced by shock, because it was his father, Jingyu, who was walking side by side with the old man.
"Grandpa Xiao, Yan'er has taken a fancy to a mask, this kid has to rob her, I don't want to reason with him. Mo Shan's grandfather's voice was very intimate, and he seemed to be very familiar with the old man in front of him.
"Grandpa Xiao, yes, this kid bullies Yan'er!" The girl named Yan'er also had a trace of mist in the corners of her eyes, and her skillful appearance made people smack.
Jing Chen secretly scolded in his heart, it was really shameless, but he didn't open his mouth to explain, they had already sued the wicked first, what was the point of explaining it himself.
"Okay, Mo Shan, you let go of the people first, if you make trouble again, I will have to ground you in the future!" the old man stroked his goatee, and his voice gradually became stern.
Seeing that the old man was really a little angry, Mo Yi obediently removed the hand on Jingchen's shoulder.
Originally, the girl named Yan'er wanted to say something, but when she saw her Grandpa Xiao angry, she forcibly held back the words in her stomach. Although his father is the city lord of this Yang City, the old man in front of him and his father are also on an equal footing.
Because this old man is not only a genuine Spirit Sect, but also the president of this Flowing Gold Chamber of Commerce, the people in Yang City call him - Xiao Chi in the fire robe.
