Chapter 142: The Treasure Pavilion is deceived

Xi Yan and Huzi followed behind Mengjin, saw him put away the fire crystal, and then took out ten gold coins.

Mengjin walked to the landing office, handed over ten gold coins, and handled the landing sign for Xi Yan and Huzi.

When Xi Yan took the sign, she couldn't help but look back at that place.

Meng Jin saw his doubts and said with a smile: "On Yingke Island, the guests come for the first time, they don't know the rules, and they need someone to introduce them to help. Some people don't know that those who break in directly will not end well. I was born strong and had the privilege of being an escort on the island. After seeing too many passers-by who didn't know the rules and angered the guards on the island, I thought of this method, wandering around the beach, helping passers-by to introduce, hehe, in my spare time, I can also make a little money. ”

Xi Yan nodded, I see. She wondered why he was the only one.

"Tell me about the situation on the island?" Xi Yan will no longer pursue it.

Speaking of this, Mengjin's words are like surging water, endless.

Yingke Island is a large island, with a population of about half a million living on the island. When she heard this number, Xi Yan gasped. Since the development of the wasteland, there are only tens of thousands of people, and she already feels a lot. Who would have thought that there would be 500,000 people on just one island. One can imagine how big the island really is.

On Yingke Island, there are both cultivators and mortals, but mortals account for the majority. Because the resources on the island are limited, and it is controlled by the White Shark Alliance, it is not suitable for cultivators to stay for a long time. Therefore, the cultivators on the island either belonged to the White Shark Alliance or were people passing by.

Due to its special geographical location, Yingke Island has been pocketed by the White Shark Alliance for decades and has become the gateway for the White Shark Alliance to collect money. With the protection of the White Shark Alliance, the life of mortals on the island is much better. is no longer oppressed by outsiders, so the status of the White Shark Alliance in the minds of the locals can be imagined.

Mengjin told him, don't show your hostility to the White Shark Alliance, otherwise you can't afford the consequences.

After listening, Xi Yan thought for a long time before asking, "On the island, is it impossible to have no money?" ”

Get into the crowd for the first time. Xi Yan had a longing in her heart, and after experiencing the scene of landing on the island, she understood that this place was different from the wasteland.

In the wasteland, she doesn't need money to get in and out. Rampant in the wasteland. And on the island of Welcome, she must follow the rules. Learn carefully how to live on the island.

Mengjin stared at Xi Yan with wide eyes, and when he was on the shore of the island just now, he had already noticed the difference between Xi Yan. She asked. He was already sure that the girl in front of him was really ignorant of the world. No one would ask such a question. But the girl in front of him asked a serious question, so he didn't know how to answer.

Xi Yan looked at Mengjin and had to listen to him give the answer.

"Well, girl, you can't walk outside without money. You eat and live. There's no money to get it. However, I kindly tell you that on Yingke Island, there are shops that specialize in huΓ n, where you can exchange things for money. Do you need me to take you there? ”

Huzi understands this kind of truth, and he also looked at Xi Yan in surprise, not understanding how his sister could not understand. However, since my sister doesn't know, it's up to him to do it.

Huzi smiled and said, "Uncle, you have already explained so much to us. Just take us to the island and we'll know how to do the rest. Thank you. ”

tugged at Xi Yan's hand vigorously, and Huzi motioned for her to let Mengjin go.

Xi Yan didn't know why, but Huzi must have done it for a reason. Turning his head to Mengjin, he said, "No need." You can just bring us to the island. ”

After about a quarter of an hour, Mengjin stopped, "This is the inner city of Yingke Island, take your sign, and you can enter." I'm going to send you here. ”

"Okay, thank you, uncle." Huzi immediately answered.

Mammoth Kim turned and walked away. But I was thinking about it. What a weird couple. The girl was ignorant, but the little kid was a ghost.

"Huzi, what do you want to do?" Xi Yan immediately asked.

"Sister, that person did that just now, it must be that you gave him the spar in exchange for more money. We find a few shops by ourselves, ask the price first, and then decide which one to redeem huΓ n. "Huzi Old Town Road." Coming here, everything costs money. Sister, let's go get some money first. ”

"You know?" Xi Yan was surprised that Huzi was so old that he knew so much. She had never spent money before, and she didn't have any concept of money, so she would ask that person. Of course she saw the man's eyes, but she just didn't have time to pay attention to them.

"Of course I know, sister, don't underestimate me. When I was in the fishing village, I saw Abba sell fish and buy a lot of things with the money he got from, and I wanted to come here too, so let's try it. ”

Taking out the sign, the two entered the inner city smoothly.

As soon as I entered, I saw people walking around.

Huzi's eyes widened, and he looked at the people coming and going on the street, all kinds of stalls, shops. There are many things, he has seen for the first time, and he is very curious.

Although it was the first time for Xi Yan to be in the downtown area, she had been in the wasteland city after all, and she had seen the streets before. I just haven't seen so many people.

"Sister, that shop, Duobao Pavilion, there should be a lot of treasures, let's go and have a look." Huzi pointed to a shop with an atmospheric faΓ§ade, and the three big characters gilded on the plaque, Duobao Pavilion.

"Okay, let's go, let's go in." Xi Yan also wanted to see it. I've heard Yan Fei mention it many times before, and the various treasures of cultivators can finally be feasted on today.

The two of them were ordinary, both of them were mortal attire. Therefore, as soon as you enter the Duobao Pavilion, it attracts a lot of attention.

Huzi subconsciously leaned against Xi Yan's side, and his body shrunk.

However, Xi has always been nervous and completely ignores these gazes. Pulling the tiger child, he walked to the counter where the items were displayed.

Before he could move, someone stood in front of him.

A waiter in a blue brocade robe stood in front of the two of them, and said with a smile: "If the young lady has any needs, just ask, Duobao Pavilion will definitely do it for you." ”

Although the waiter smiled lovely, Xi Yan still saw contempt in his eyes. Immediately, she felt a little unhappy, but in order to see the treasure, she endured it.

"I want to see weapons, pills, and cultivation secrets suitable for samurai." Xi Yan said bluntly.

Hearing this, the waiter glanced at Xi Yan again, since he opened his mouth to see these treasures, then this person must be a cultivator. He had just looked away. I thought he was a mortal and went to the wrong place. I exhaled secretly in my heart, but fortunately I didn't open my mouth directly to drive people away.

"Please follow me." The brocade-clothed waiter bowed down and led the way.

Only then did Xi Yan notice. This waiter was wearing a blue brocade robe, and she herself was still dressed in cloth, let alone Huzi. In my heart, I said that this place is really much richer than the Great Wilderness. The waiters of a shop can afford to wear brocade clothes, but in the great wilderness. How many people have never seen brocade clothes in their lives, and they are basically clothed by the fur of beasts.

Coming to the counter, the waiter pointed to a black knife and said to Xi Yan: "This is a black stone knife, forged from black ink stone, suitable for samurai who have just cultivated." ”

Xi Yan looked over, the knife body was dark throughout, and the shape was like an ordinary knife. This was the cultivator's weapon, she wondered to herself, how could it look so ordinary. Reach out. I want to feel it.

The waiter hurriedly stopped her movements, "In the Duobao Pavilion, guests are not allowed to try on treasures. After the weapon is forged, the smith will evaluate it, and all the properties are noted on the wooden plaque next to it, so you can take a look. To determine the need, pay the deposit before you can try it. ”

There are also such rules, Xi Yan doesn't know why.

Originally, the rules of Duobao Pavilion were not like this, but this waiter has been here for a few years, and he has already trained a pair of fiery eyes. Different attitudes towards different customers.

As soon as I saw Xi Yan's dress, I knew that there was no money in my pocket, so it was better to send such a guest away as soon as possible. Because, such a guest is the most difficult. Every time I have to look at all the treasures in the shop, I refuse to buy them for various reasons, and then I turn around and leave in a chic manner.

The waiter has long lost patience with such guests. I worked hard to explain for a long time, but I didn't get any benefits. Who wants to do such a thing. It will only be a waste of words, time and energy.

This waiter divided Xi Yan into this kind of guest. This is still for the sake of her being a cultivator, otherwise, she will be blasted out directly.

can't try, of course Xi Yan is unwilling. But people have already said so, do you want to fight to the death. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's just a try, and you won't lose anything, why not?" ”

The waiter smiled and said, "You don't know, the characteristics of this black stone knife you are looking at have been written in detail there. As I said earlier, you need to pay a deposit to try your hand. All you need to do is pull out two gold coins and you're ready to go. You can rest assured that if you buy sincerely, the deposit can be used to offset the price. The implication is that if you don't buy it, the deposit will naturally be wasted.

Huzi asked, "Then if you don't buy it, the deposit is yours?" ”

"Well, that's true in principle." The waiter said with some embarrassment.

"It's not necessarily too unfair, why don't you buy something and give you money." Huzi's little head turned quickly, and he immediately understood the meaning of the waiter's words.

"Hehe, when did Duobao Pavilion come out with such a rule, why don't I know?" Just as Huzi finished speaking, another laughing voice sounded.

This voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the store. Just because it is so loud, everyone in the Duobao Pavilion can hear it. And Xi Yan and Tuanzi are just communicating with the waiters, the volume is normal, and the other guests are choosing treasures, where will they eavesdrop.

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately became the focus of attention in the Duobao Pavilion.

Xi Yan turned her head to look, and the person who spoke was a young son, dressed in white with wide sleeves, holding a feather fan, and his hair tied up, looking like a noble son.

Although he was smiling and talking, there was not the slightest smile in his eyes. Blackpool-like eyes, with a cold light inside.

When Xi Yan heard it, some people said that it was Gu Gongzi. The voice was full of amazement.

This Gu Gongzi is very famous, and he can cause people to whisper.

When the waiter next to him saw the boy in white, his expression changed significantly, and Xi Yan got closer and clearly saw the change in the waiter's eyes. From astonishment to panic, then slowly return to normal.

Gu Xun came to Xi Yan's place, looked at the waiter, and said again: "Does Duobao Pavilion really have such a rule?" Although the voice was gentle, everyone felt the chill inside.

The waiter hurriedly said: "No, no, it's a small nonsense, and I hope that Gu Gongzi will forgive his sins." ”

"Hehe, that's funny. Your rules are not told to me, how dare I blame you. Gu Xun waved the feather fan in his hand lightly, his posture was leisurely, but the words he said made the waiter sweat profusely.

"Yes, yes, yes, Gu Gongzi is right, the little one will accompany the guest, and ask for the guest's forgiveness." The waiter turned his head to Xi Yan, "I'm really sorry, just now I looked down on people and talked nonsense, and Duobao Pavilion didn't pay the deposit at all, I hope you don't care." I'm sorry. He bowed deeply.

Xi Yan finally understood that she was looked down upon by others, so she would have such treatment. I was angry in my heart, but I couldn't get it. People have already taken the initiative to apologize, and it seems unkind for her to make things difficult again. Besides, when you are a newcomer, you are still a few enemies, so as not to bring trouble to yourself. So, she nodded and chose to settle the matter.

This scene alarmed the chief of Duobao Pavilion, and immediately came over, reprimanded the waiter, and once again apologized to Xi Yan, and changed the waiter.

It happened quickly, and in a few breaths, the waiter was pulled down and brought over with a new face.

Xi Yan was a little stunned by this speed, she had already forgiven the waiter, how could such a thing happen.

Gu Xun saw Xi Yan's puzzlement, and said: "The girl is really easy to talk to, she was so neglected by the waiter, and she was let go so easily, it is really a good measure." ”

Xi Yan looked at Gu Xun again, how could this person always speak with a sense of irony.

"I haven't asked my son's name yet, I just thank Gongzi for coming out to tell me, otherwise I'll still be in the dark."

"In Xia Gu Xun, what is the girl's name?" Gu Xun held the fan with both hands and leaned over slightly.

"Xi Yan."

"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Xi, the first time you came here?"

Xi Yan nodded, "Why did Childe stand still and explain the reason to me?" She was curious, he didn't look like a nosyman.

Sure enough, I heard Gu Xun say, "It just so happens that I am in a good mood today, and I have nothing to do to go around, but when I encounter this kind of thing, I just mention it in passing." ”

"I see, thank you for your help." Xi Yan nodded in thanks and prepared to leave.

"Miss Xi, please stay." Gu Xun's footsteps moved slightly, blocking in front of Xi Yan, "There is still something unclear below, I want to ask the girl for advice." ”

Xi Yan looked at Gu Xun in slight surprise, she had just arrived here, how could he ask for advice. This person doesn't look like a decent gentleman no matter how he looks at it, so it's better to leave early.

"Gu Gongzi said with a smile, I just arrived here, and there is nothing I can teach Gongzi."

Xi Yan's direct tone made Gu Xun stunned. It was the first time he had met such a person, who could speak so bluntly. (To be continued.) )
