Volume 1: Confusion Chapter 26: Selling Artists
Chongyang came down from Qingyun Sect all the way, thinking about where he was going, but he didn't think about the direction he was going for a long time.
"Let's just go to the city outside the Qingyun Sect. Chongyang thought in his heart, so he ran directly forward, but Chongyang didn't choose the few prosperous cities outside the Qingyun Sect. Because the closer he got to the Qingyun Sect, the more disciples he met in the sect, and now he didn't want to cause so much trouble.
He ran wildly until he stopped at a small city ten miles away from the Qingyun Sect, which was inhabited by only about 10,000 people, and was inscribed 'Ping'an'.
Along the way, Chongyang was surprised to find that he didn't even take a breath of air after running for more than ten miles. In the past, although he was confident that it would be easy to run for more than ten miles, if he walked every day, even if he walked hundreds or thousands of miles, but the premise was that he had to use spiritual power.
And now that he can achieve such a result without using his spiritual power, how can he not be surprised.
"Is this the credit of chopping firewood for a month?" Chongyang thought that in the month he had been chopping firewood and practicing knives, he had not only increased his speed and strength a lot, but also strengthened his physical strength by more than a little bit. "It seems that the cultivation of the physical body cannot be left behind in the future. ”
Thinking about it, he didn't come back to his senses until he walked to Chongyang inside the city.
Looking left and right, Chongyang was a little surprised, this city seems to be different from other cities, there is not even an inner city guard, no wonder he has been coming in and no one has stopped him, could it be that the word 'peace' in Ping'an City comes from this?
Chongyang casually walked into a jewelry store and took a look at the contents inside. Suddenly, an emerald hosta caught his eye, and what made him care was not the quality of the jade, but the fact that he found that there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power in the hosta.
"Boss, how can this be sold?" Chongyang said, pointing to the hosta.
"Little brother, at first glance, you are a person who knows the goods, this hosta is the treasure of our town store, if you sincerely want it, I will sell it to you for 100 star coins." The shopkeeper said to Chongyang. There was a hint of cunning in his expression.
"I don't think your jade is very pure, why is it like this lion opening his mouth. Chongyang didn't know that the owner of the store saw that he was just a young man, and wanted to take the opportunity to pit him.
"Our jade is an authentic green and white jade, which has been passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors......" The shopkeeper did not give up and wanted to raise the price.
"Fifty star coins at most, not more!" Chongyang said to him impatiently.
"Yes. Seeing Chongyang's unhappy face, the shopkeeper no longer continued to bargain, and directly agreed to Chongyang.
"I'll give out 100 star coins. ”
Suddenly, a voice said. Chongyang turned around and saw that she was a green girl, looking at her small jasper appearance, she should also be regarded as a rich and noble family born in Ping'an City.
"Okay, okay! Miss Mo is really happy, let's go and wrap it up for you." The shopkeeper blossomed, and hurriedly promised the woman.
"Alas, boss, you are not afraid of smashing your own signboard in this business, obviously I bought it first, and now you sell it to others, don't you want to be untrustworthy. Chongyang said angrily.
Looking at Chongyang's angry face, the shopkeeper said to Chongyang apologetically: "Little brother, this young lady bids higher than you, and the one with the highest price wins, besides, this hosta hasn't arrived in your hands yet." ”
The woman next to her smiled playfully at Chongyang, with a slight smug look on her beautiful face.
"Two hundred star coins, give me the hairpin. ”
Chongyang directly placed the two hundred star coins on the counter. When the shopkeeper saw so much money, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he directly handed the hosta wrapped in his hand to Chongyang.
Chongyang's hairpin in his hand glanced at the woman next to him lightly, and turned around and left directly.
"Hey, a big man, why don't you have any bearing at all. Don't let people go home. The woman behind Chongyang stomped lightly, and her face was full of grievances.
However, Chongyang didn't care about anything else, looking at the hairpin in his hand, with a faint joy on his face. "Two hundred star coins, no loss!"
Although Chongyang didn't know what mysteries existed in the hairpin, from the information he got from his own perception, this hairpin was at least a good secret treasure. Although I don't know what grade it is and what it is used for, the value of it is definitely more than two hundred star coins, but fortunately, the shop owner is not a cultivator, and I am afraid he does not know the secret of this hosta.
"If this hairpin is given to Xi Yao, she must like it too. Chongyang carefully put the hosta into the storage ring.
Having tasted the sweetness, Chongyang thought about going to other stores to see if he could get other unexpected gains.
Shops like this abound in Heian Castle, and today it is also very lively, and it seems that it is the day of the Heian Castle market. has been entering a number of similar stores in a row, but Chongyang has no gain, today can get this hosta, maybe it is just an accident, otherwise who would go to the expensive secret treasure store to buy the secret treasure, they will come directly to such an ordinary shop Taobao.
While he was walking, Chongyang casually glanced at it, but found that dozens of people had gathered in a certain direction in the city, as if they were watching something.
When Chongyang got closer, it turned out that a person was playing tricks in the crowd, this person was about twenty or thirty years old, with a thin body and two mustaches hanging on his lips.
I saw a huge wooden box beside him, and he was shouting loudly at this time: "Take a walk, take a look, become a living person." ”
"Let's play this trick needs a person to come up and cooperate, and a lighter woman is the best. The bearded man shouted again.
"Why do you want women, but not men?" said a strong man to the man.
"Hehe, this uncle asked well, our family has not learned this craft, this man is too big, our family is not good. The bearded man said with a little humor.
It caused everyone present to burst out laughing.
"I'll try. Suddenly, a voice sounded in the crowd, and where everyone's eyes converged, a petite figure walked out.
Chongyang was slightly surprised, wasn't this woman the one who had just competed with him for the hosta.
"Miss Mo of the Mo family, she looks so beautiful. ”
Someone in the crowd complimented.
The woman walked in front of the entertainer, only to see the bearded man open the wooden box and shout at everyone: "Everyone can check if there is any problem with my box first." ”
Everyone in the front row took a step forward and looked at his wooden box, but they didn't find any clues.
After everyone finished checking, the bearded man said to the woman walking beside him, "Miss, please enter the wooden box." ”
The petite girl followed the bearded man's advice and stepped into the wooden box, and the next moment, the man directly closed the door of the wooden box.
"You can see it clearly!" I saw the bearded man dancing with his hands, as if he was chanting some incantation, and when he opened the wooden box again, the wooden box was empty, and the woman's figure had long since disappeared.
"Where did you go?"
"I saw Miss Mo walk in just now. ”
Everyone looked surprised and walked towards the wooden box again, but they couldn't find the woman.
"Please look again!" the bearded man closed the door of the wooden box again, and when he opened it again, the figure of the young lady of the Mo family appeared again.
"Wow......"
Everyone was shocked, and they all let out cheers and admiration, and they all applauded at this moment, and threw a star coin in front of the entertainer. At this time, no one paid too much attention to the Miss Mo family who walked out of the box, and saw the woman leave the crowd by herself and walked out of the crowd.
However, Chongyang found that the woman's eyes were bright and full of innocence and liveliness before entering the box, but at this time there was no trace of color, like a puppet.
Regardless of how much he thought, Chongyang chased in the direction where the woman left, chasing most of the street, until a dead end intersection where no one was around, the woman walked directly into the dead end, Chongyang followed, but a strange scene happened, only to see the woman's body gradually dissipate and become a puppet.
"Illusion. Chongyang picked up the puppet on the ground, thinking all in his heart.
"It's broken!" Chongyang seemed to think of something, and quickly turned around and chased towards the place where everyone was watching just now.
When he returned to the place, everyone had dispersed, and the man with the wooden box and mustache had disappeared into the street.
"The woman must still be in the wooden box just now. Chongyang thought in his heart, but at this time, how could he still find the figure of the artist, just when Chongyang was anxious, a figure flashed at the end of the street, and he was leaving at the end of the street in Ping'an City. Seeing the wooden box that the man was carrying, Chongyang didn't know that it was the person who was an entertainer just now.
"Stop!" Chongyang urged his spiritual power, changed his body, and chased after him in the direction where the street performer disappeared......
............
It was dusk in the sky, and outside a barren ridge, two figures were running at great speed, and the face of the figure in front of them was already covered with beads of sweat, and it was particularly difficult to run with a huge wooden box on their backs at this time. The figure behind is also desperately chasing, these two people are Chongyang and the person who ran out of Ping'an City.
The more Chongyang chased at this time, the more frightened he became. He had always thought that his current physique would not be able to catch up with a person from the same realm or even a person from the fourth realm of gathering qi.
However, now that he has been chasing for nearly twenty miles, he still hasn't been able to chase the other party to a stop, he is sure that that person must be a master above the Qi Gathering Realm, but it will definitely not be much higher than his realm, otherwise he will not just run away and dare not entangle with him.
He continued to run for more than ten miles, and the man really couldn't run. He put the wooden box on his body on the ground, panting heavily, and at this moment, when he saw Chongyang chasing after him, his slightly sunken eyes were full of viciousness.
Chongyang saw him stop, his spiritual power gathered in his right leg, and he directly kicked at the man with a whip leg, and when the man saw Chongyang kicking in the air, not only did he not dodge, but directly blocked Chongyang's attack with his right arm.
Peng!
Under the collision, the two of them each took more than a dozen steps back, and the bearded man looked at Chongyang with a shocked face, and at this time, Chongyang's shock was even worse, he didn't expect that person's physical strength to be so strong.
"Devotional?"
"桀桀~"
"Since you want a hero to save the beauty, then leave your life behind!"
