Hearing the old man's words, Ling Chen hesitated, looked at the map in his hand, and then looked at the old man in front of him.
When the old man saw Ling Chen hesitate, he thought that his price was not enough, and he couldn't help but be shocked, gritted his teeth, and continued to raise the price before Ling Chen could react: "For example, if Xiaoyou dislikes the price is too low, the old man can add it more! Since a hundred times is not enough, then a thousand times, how about it? Alas, there is no need to be so troublesome, this little friend, the old man directly bid 10,000 gold spirit coins to buy Xiaoyou's map, how about it? Xiaoyou don't have to worry about the old man's sincerity." ”
Ling Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, and when the old man saw Ling Chen frowning, he obviously didn't know what he meant.
"Little friend, isn't it too little?" the old man asked again, and there was already some displeasure and regret in his voice.
"No, not really. You are mistaken. Ling Chen heard his words and looked at his expression, and naturally could sense the displeasure that had risen in the old man's heart, and quickly explained: "Senior, you want this map, it stands to reason that this is not a valuable thing, and the junior should give it with both hands, but ......" Ling Chen hesitated for a moment before continuing: "It's just that the environment of this Star Moon Empire is too complex and changeable, and the junior is an outsider, and he still needs to ask for directions with a map, if he doesn't have this map, wouldn't it be over?"
The old man's face softened a little when he heard this, and he said to Ling Chen with a smile: "Little friend, as long as you are willing to sell this map to the old man, where are you going, the old man will only show you the way, this Star and Moon Empire, the old man is quite familiar!"
Ling Chen seemed to think for a while when he heard this, and then finally agreed, saluted and said: "Since you have said so before, it is not like a word for the junior to say anything to justify it, in this way, this map is the senior's." The old man was very happy when he heard this, and seemed to be about to give Ling Chen money, but was stopped by Ling Chen, "Senior, this map is given to you for free, a mere map, it's not worth that price, besides, the territory of the Star Moon Empire is changeable, this map won't take long." ”
"Hmm......" The old man nodded with a smile when he heard this, stroked his beard and smiled faintly, looked at Ling Chen and nodded.
The map was sent out, but Ling Chen didn't forget to get down to business, he bent over the old man's side and paused, and asked in a low voice: "Senior, the place where the junior is going is not remote, I believe you must know," as he spoke, Ling Chen looked around cautiously, and then continued: "Senior, do you know the Beichen Sect that can go to the Beichen Domain the fastest?"
"Beichen Domain, Beichen Sect?" the old man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, turned his head and looked at Ling Chen, as if he was a little surprised.
"Yes, the junior heard that the Beichen Sect is one of the guardian sects of the Star Moon Empire, so he wants to become a disciple and cultivate the spirit. Ling Chen said respectfully, and explained to the old man in a low voice that his intention to go to the Beichen Sect was quite honest.
In fact, although Mr. Miao arranged a task for Ling Chen to go to the Beichen Sect, but he had not yet told him what the specific task was, until before leaving, Ling Chen only knew that his task was to join the Beichen Sect and become an official disciple of the Beichen Sect, although Ling Chen did not know what a formal disciple was now, but Ling Chen knew in his heart that this was obviously not easy to do, and Mr. Miao also said that until he became an official disciple, there would be a follow-up task to be sent.
As for how it will be sent and when it will be sent, Mr. Miao didn't say a word.
"Well, I think so. The man has great ambitions, this is a good thing......" The old man nodded when he heard this, and praised Ling Chen a few words, Ling Chen hurriedly said that he had won the award, but the old man ignored him, but stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place in front of him, and said: "You just enter from this path in front of you, keep walking, don't let the detour change direction; after you go out, you will see another scenery and leisure, that is, you enter the bridge gate domain, and then get up and walk towards the east, until you see a giant tree and turn south......"
The old man said all the routes in detail, Ling Chen didn't dare to get distracted, and listened carefully throughout the whole process.
"Do you remember?" After saying everything, the old man also changed his tone a little and asked, Ling Chen nodded, while sorting out the route in his mind a little, and replied: "I have roughly memorized it, I shouldn't get lost, the juniors thank the seniors here, the juniors can hear that although most of this road is a small road, it is horizontal and vertical, and it is very easy to remember." ”
The old man nodded, smiled, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked: "Oh, look at the old man's memory, he hasn't even asked the name of the little friend until now, this is really rude to the old man!"
"The seniors are serious, and the juniors are called Ling Chen. Ling Chen didn't hesitate, he immediately saluted and answered his name.
"Ling Chen, okay, Ling Chen......" The old man stroked his beard with a smile, looked to the side, thought about it, and suddenly said to Ling Chen with a smile: "Ling Chen, you shouldn't be in too much of a hurry, right? The old man gave you a suggestion, it's getting late today, and the place where the old man told you is mostly a trail, and it's not safe to walk at night, so you must not have much cultivation in your later life, why don't you find a place to stay for a night before leaving? The old man remembers that there is an inn not far in front of you, so you should go quickly." ”
Ling Chen was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what this old man meant, and wanted to ask but didn't open his mouth after all.
"What the seniors said also makes sense, then thank you to the seniors, the juniors left first. Ling Chen didn't want to delay any longer, he just wanted to ask for directions, but he accidentally put a map into it, but it didn't matter, after all, the purpose of having a map was to find the Beichen Sect, and now that he knew the way to the Beichen Sect, it didn't make a difference whether this map was there or not, Ling Chen didn't plan to take a walk around the Star Moon Empire, he just wanted to rush to join the Beichen Sect as soon as possible.
Ling Chen offered to say goodbye, but the old man did not stop him, nodded and said, "Little friend, be careful, we are destined to see you again." ”
"Farewell. Ling Chen arched his hand, and then got up and left, after Ling Chen left, those Xiao Xiao, who had been hiding in the dark and did not dare to show his head, also walked out, without even looking at the old man, he scattered again and continued to follow Ling Chen from all aspects, it seems that Ling Chen, a big fish today, their own plan is to eat, and they will never let go.
The old man who showed Ling Chen the way put away the map and continued to sit on the recliner with his eyes closed. Ling Chen walked for a while, and didn't seem to find anyone following him, but it's no wonder that he, those little gangsters are just hiding their whereabouts and have rich experience, like some old rivers and lakes may not be able to find out that they are following them, not to mention that this Ling Chen kid who has just entered the rivers and lakes now, but fortunately, according to the old man's words, Ling Chen has already come to the inn before, thinking that as long as they enter the inn, these little gangsters should have no choice, after all, they are secretly stealing and not robbing openly.
didn't see what the inn was called, Ling Chen saw it and walked in, and those Xiaoxiao who were following him also came to the inn together.
At this time, there were really a lot of people who came to the inn to seek accommodation, Ling Chen had to line up in front of the counter, he knew that what the old man said was right, it was too dangerous to take those paths in the dark, and seeing Ling Chen queuing up in front of the counter, the small ones at the door did not disperse, but gathered together to study, it seemed that he did not plan to let Ling Chen go.
They exchanged for a while, and even entered the inn in batches, and lined up in a long line as if they were staying in the hotel.
Although they pretended to be queuing, their eyes had been looking at Ling Chen, looking around at him falling from above, as if they were looking for a money bag, and at this moment, it seemed that for a while, Ling Chen actually took out the cloth bag full of spirit coins from the space storage ring, but after taking it out, they found that it was too early, and they didn't bother to take it back, so they pinned it to their lower backs.
The crowd hesitated, and no one dared to step forward to make a move on the money bag that was now so easy to handle.
After a while, Ling Chen and Zhong Xiaoxiao's ranking position became higher and higher, and Zhong Xiaoxiao also understood that if they didn't start again, they would have no chance, although they were worried that there was fraud in this, but the huge etiquette made them have to take this risk, as the so-called: people die for money, and birds die for food. That's the reason, they have reached an agreement to take risks for the sake of this big fish.
In the middle of Zhongxiaoxiao, a very thin man stood behind Ling Chen from the beginning, and now Zhongxiao has discussed how to do it, he is naturally the best candidate to do it, quietly holding his breath, the man looked at Ling Chen's reaction in front of him.
This man is naturally no exception, and in a flash of lightning, this man's hand has already touched Ling Chen's money bag pinned to his waist, and held it in his hand, but just when the man was about to turn around and leave, and ripped the money bag off Ling Chen's waist, he suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain coming from his wrist, which felt as if he had been stabbed by a sword, forcing him to let go of his hand in just an instant!
"Oh yes, it hurts, it hurts!" The man was not a spiritual cultivator, and when he was held like this, he naturally still felt pain.
The surrounding Xiaoxiao was shocked when he saw this, just like everyone present, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Ling Chen was looking at the man with a smile, grabbing his wrist with one hand, and weighing the money bag in his hand with the other, and said with a sneer.
"Even if you are so small, you dare to covet my spirit coins, I have to arrest you!"
