Chapter 17: The Rich Tanuki

chapter content,

The tanuki sat on Ying Qingcang's shoulder, struggling to hold an egg that was almost the size of hers.

"Hug ...... I can't hold it! She whipped her tail and reminded the servant to catch the egg.

Then you just let go and let it fall to the ground and shatter......

Ying Qingcang silently retracted the shameless thought and reached out to take the egg.

"Xiaoqing'er wants to raise a bird?"

What's so good about birds, noisy and not clean and shedding......

The tanuki, which also lost its hair, tilted its head and looked at him: "Raise it until it grows feathers!" ”

"Feathers?" Ying Qingcang seemed to understand something, "Xiao Qing'er wants its feathers, doesn't she?" ”

"The prettiest feather!" The tanuki touched the egg, "When the time comes, pull out the cloak and make a cloak for the ancestor!" ”

The corners of Ying Qingcang's mouth curved: "Set up a spirit gathering array for it at night, so that it can hatch out early." ”

Then give a lot of pills to grow feathers early.

"When we pluck its feathers, throw it into the woods." Ying Qingcang proposed.

The tanuki ancestor's attention was on the feathers, so he naturally nodded in agreement. If the poor bird egg knew his miserable birdlife, he would not dare to come out in fear......

"Would you like to go to the auction house?" Ying Qingcang threw the egg into the storage bag and asked the tanuki, "Although there is no auction, there are usually things to sell." ”

The tanuki immediately raised his paw in agreement, so one man and one cat staggered to the auction house again. The auction house and auction house in Los Angeles are not in the same place, on another street not far away.

When they arrived, not only were there many people in the shop, but there were also many stalls in a small square outside.

"These are monks." The tanuki took a look and saw that these stalls were not ordinary people.

Because of the large number of people, Ying Qingcang took her off his shoulders and hugged her into his arms: "These monks are bartering, and if they want their things, they can only exchange what they need." ”

The tanuki stared curiously at the stalls on the ground, and Ying Qingcang walked over to let her take a look, and it turned out that the tanuki really found something to be fun.

"What is this?" She pointed to a small bottle, which was dotted with stars and beautiful in broad daylight.

Ying Qingcang knew that his tanuki liked shiny things, so he squatted down to let her see more clearly.

"Daoyou, do you like it?" The stall owner is a middle-aged man, very burly, with a beard.

The tanuki wanted to put its paws in, but the stall owner hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, they'll bite you." ”

"Is this alive?" The tanuki's eyes were round, and she thought it was a dead thing.

Ying Qingcang picked up the bottle and showed her: "This is a creature called a crystal worm......"

When he said these two words, Ying Qingcang was inevitably affected by his previous life and felt dirty.

"What kind of worm is a crystal worm? Can you eat it? "Tanuki cats are very instinctive, cats eat for the day!

The stall owner's face changed: "You can't eat this, eating it will bite your intestines to rot." ”

"Squeak......" The tanuki shivered, it was terrible.

Ying Qingcang touched her head: "You touch the bottle, thinking about what you want now." ”

The tanuki carefully stretched out its paws, and the moment it touched the bottle, the light in the bottle changed into the shape of a fruit bunch.

"Squeak!?" The tanuki was surprised and hurriedly retracted its paws.

The light quickly dispersed, and she stretched out her paw again, and soon the light turned into the shape of a fruit bunch again. She retracted and stretched out again, repeating it a few times before the point of light suddenly dimmed and slowly sank to a flat bottom.

"Dead ...... He's dead? The tanuki asked in alarm.

The stall owner wanted to cry without tears, and said with a bitter face: "It's almost time if you don't die, you've played too many times." ”

"Crystal worms can judge what's going on in the minds of those who touch them, and show it." Seeing that the tanuki was really frightened, Ying Qingcang calmly took out a low-grade spar and threw it into the glass bottle.

Soon, the points of light were attached to the hedron, and after a few seconds, the hedron was gone. And the point of light is brighter than when the tanuki didn't play before, especially bright!

"Squeak!" The tanuki barked happily and reached for it again.

When the stall owner saw that Ying Qingcang was willing to use spirit stones to feed crystal worms for the sake of his spirit pet, he suddenly saw hope: "Do you like it?" Do you like me to exchange with you? ”

The tanuki is having fun, and the crystal worms in the bottle keep changing all kinds of food......

"What do you want to change?" Ying Qingcang asked him.

As soon as the big man saw the play, he immediately said: "Look, this crystal worm is a very rare treasure, not many people have it, and I only got this bottle after a lot of energy!" ”

"According to the ranking of the spirit pets of the Broken Yuan Continent, the crystal worm is a spirit pet at the legendary level, you ......"

"If you don't say it, you don't want it." Ying Qingcang interrupted him, "What do you want to change?" ”

The big man shut up: "I want a Pei Yuan Dan." ”

In Ying Qingcang's expectation, because this person was about to marry the Dan, having Pei Yuan Dan could allow him to directly rush to the middle stage of Jindan, or even the late stage.

"I said you want to be shameless!" An elderly monk next to him scolded him, "You want to change Pei Yuandan for such a thing?" ”

"What's the matter with you?" Dahan said angrily.

Pei Yuan Dan asked for at least a hundred high-grade crystals, but the most valuable thing in his stall was the value of two medium-grade spirit stones, and only this crystal worm was of the highest grade.

But this thing is a chicken rib, it has no use, it just shapes. It's ridiculous that this thing only eats spars, who can afford it? Therefore, no one has asked after almost half a year.

"This fellow Daoist, don't be deceived by him!" The old man looked kind, "This crystal worm is useless, and it costs the crystal, he is pheating you!" ”

Ying Qingcang glanced at him lightly: "It's okay, I'll feed it." ”

The old man didn't expect Ying Qingcang to say this, and his expression was very exciting. But the big man would be embarrassed and rubbed his hands.

"Well, he's right, or you should look at something else!"

"Ancestor wants this!" The tanuki hugged the bottle tightly in his arms, and said to Ying Qingcang very arrogantly, "Give him Pei Yuan Dan!" ”

With a flick of Ying Qingcang's fingers, a black shadow flew by, and the big man instinctively caught it.

"This ...... This ......" He looked at the black and shiny pill in his hand, as if he couldn't believe it, he leaned over and smelled it, a strong medicinal fragrance came, and he looked at Ying Qingcang excitedly.

"Top-grade Pei Yuan Dan." Ying Qingcang picked up the tanuki and wanted to leave.

Seeing that the big man was still in a daze, the tanuki fed him: "You still don't leave?" ”

Dahan reacted suddenly, and when he saw that the people around him were staring at the pill in his hand with greedy eyes, he immediately put it away and ran away without even bothering to stand up from the stall.

"Oh, fellow Daoist, don't go!" The people around him all gathered around, wanting to exchange something from Ying Qingcang's hands. In their eyes, this is a fool with a lot of silly babies.

Ying Qingcang's robe moved, and the person was already a few meters away. They still wanted to chase it, but they were afraid that no one would guard the stall and lose things, so they had to give up.

"Don't worry, that person knows the truth of his guilt, I'm afraid he has already hidden it." After walking for a long time, Ying Qingcang saw that his tanuki was still a little uneasy, and frowned, feeling that she cared about too many people now......

Why don't you care about yourself? Obviously, as long as you care about yourself, it's fine.

"Old Ancestor didn't worry." The tanuki had a hard mouth and a soft heart, so he didn't admit that he was worried that the person's pill just now was robbed.

"It's also for the sake of him being a good man......" the tanuki muttered quietly.

If it weren't for the fact that the person knew that the crystal worm was going to eat the crystal and let her play, she wouldn't care about the life or death of others!

"I put a ban on him, and I can save his life when he is in danger." Ying Qingcang touched the tanuki's head, "Whatever you want, I'll do it for you, don't worry." ”

The tanuki felt that the servant behaved very well, and there was some joy in his heart, and he couldn't help but rub Ying Qingcang's palm, and immediately sat upright after realizing it.

"Let's go...... Let's go! She twisted her little head and didn't look at Ying Qingcang, for fear that the servant would find out what she had just done.

Ying Qingcang bent the corners of his mouth and gently pinched the tail of the tanuki: "Let's go from another street and buy you fruit skewers to eat!" ”

Coincidentally, when he returned to the inn, he met the Fei Zhifu sisters again, and the tanuki realized that they lived in the courtyard next door.

"Did you already know?" She asked.

Ying Qingcang ignored the two sisters, closed the courtyard door and entered the house.

"Well, I found it when I went out."

The tanuki put the glass bottle on the table and wiped it very preciously. Ying Qingcang sat beside her: "Like it very much?" ”

"Hmmm! Like. As he spoke, the crystal worm in the glass bottle turned into a fried fish.

Ying Qingcang smiled: "Go eat later, do you want to change the bottle?" ”

"Change the bottle?"

"Well, it's an ordinary glass bottle, and it's easy to break." Ying Qingcang turned his hand and took out a palm-sized transparent bottle, I don't know what it was made of, it was particularly bright, faintly fluorescent.

The tanuki touched it: "Is it strong?" ”

"Monks below the infancy stage can't break it." Ying Qingcang put a medium-grade spirit stone inside, and then buckled the bottle containing the crystal worm on it.

The crystals soon floated into his bottle and attached to the spirit stone.

"Come!" Ying Qingcang grabbed the tanuki's paw and pinched the mouth of the bottle.

The tanuki tilted its head: "Squeak? ”

"Crystal worms generally don't run out on their own, and now this bottle is only Xiaoqing'er who can feed them, and others can't even throw crystals into it."

"Then will they just listen to me in the future?" The tanuki was so happy, there were a lot of servants!

Ying Qingcang didn't want to hit her, but he still told the truth: "As far as I know, no one has domesticated crystal worms yet, but maybe they feed too little, if Xiao Qing'er feeds them every day, maybe they will be domesticated one day." ”

"Ancestor will definitely be able to domesticate them!" With a confident wave of his paw, the tanuki placed the glass bottle on the bedside table.

At the door of the inn, Liang Shui was educating Liang Pi.

"Now that we have money, we have to enjoy it, what's wrong with living in a room? If the yard wasn't gone, I would have wanted to rent a small yard! ”

Liang Pi looked at him expressionlessly: "Don't you want to buy something at the auction, you can't buy it when the money is spent." ”

"Yes......" Liang Shui touched his beard.

Liang Pi thought he had figured it out, but he heard the old man say something.

"Then don't buy it! Just steal it. ”
