Chapter 7: Eggs
Those rumors in the hidden world really make Yin Lingqi feel embarrassed! Everyone felt that she had inherited her parents' amazing talent and abilities that should not be underestimated, and only she knew it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She can only be regarded as a crane tail at best, as for the rumored ones?
None of it said about her.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt a headache, and Yin Ling didn't bother to continue to stay in the study room, watching Mama choose to find the books, thinking that she should have to find it for a while, Yin Ling slid down the handrail of the stairs and then sneaked out of the Eight Immortals Book House.
The streets outside are still bustling and lively, and you can really see a lot of things in Xianrenjiao that you can't even think of! Not to mention some things that have never been seen before, just talking about the strange divine beasts behind the travelers who pass by from time to time are enough to be envied.
She has always felt that the rare monsters recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas are all deceitful, after all, although she knows the existence of the hidden world, but she has never known anything from her parents, and the past ten years have received the most traditional education in the world. Now that I have entered the Fairy Horn, I know that many rumored fictional creatures exist in this world.
When she saw the person passing by her followed by a hideous monster that had appeared in the Sutra of Mountains and Seas, her eyes were about to pop out. The beast looked like a red leopard, with horns on its head and five tails growing behind it at the same time, and it passed by Yin Lingqi from time to time with a hideous sound like hitting a stone. The divine beast was about the height of an adult, and the person who followed him looked domineering, and he forgot to move forward, and when he walked forward, he didn't forget to turn his head to look at the fierce behind him. It was also because I didn't pay attention to the way forward when I walked, but I ran into something head-on when I stepped up.
Because of the collision, he took a few steps backwards, and only after he stood firm and came back to his senses did he apologize and say, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ā
"You young people are too careless when you walk now, please pay attention to the front next time you walk, you hit me to death, this old bone was almost knocked away by you!" The shrill sound sounded like the sound of the wind pouring out of the cracks in the stone, and it was harsh to hear, and it was a stone man who had just collided with Yin Ling, and the tall man who had just reached Yin Ling's waist was standing there complaining at this time. The body made of three stones was obviously a little crooked from the collision just now, and it was struggling to adjust its body.
Looking at a stone man made of stone trying to adjust the misplaced stones, no matter where he looked at it, it was funny, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll help you." Then he made great efforts to move the misplaced stone to its original place. The body can be considered to be back to normal, the stone man said.
"Be careful next time you walk, don't be so reckless." After saying that, he moved around and tried to leave, but after moving a few steps, the stone man still didn't forget to turn around and say "thank you".
Forget about the fact that animals become essences, the fairy horns even turn stones into essences, so I have to make Yin Lingqi sigh and say: "After the founding of the People's Republic of China, no living creature can become essence, if you see this, I don't know if you will vomit blood." After saying that, he sighed heartily, then turned around and was about to look around again, when he took a step, and suddenly noticed that a strange shop was opening on the side.
Unlike the surrounding shops, that shop is very quiet, there are no customers to buy and buy, and the shop is only half open. There were no lights in the shop, so I couldn't see anything when I stood in front of the store and looked inside. Unlike the items sold in the shops around them, this one is eerily dark.
Normal people generally glance at this shop when they pass by, but no one will choose to enter, but Yin Ling is different, after seeing the half-open door, her inner curiosity was aroused by darkness at that moment. Because she felt strange, Yin Lingying walked up, and when she reached the door of the store, she asked.
"Hello, is there anyone in the store?" No one answered, and the response was a dead silence, standing outside and asking again, when she found that there was no response, Yin Lingling turned sideways and entered the shop.
Just as she stepped into this shop, she waited for a "poof" sound, and the two oil lamps in the corner of the shop suddenly lit up. The light of the oil lamp is not enough, but it is enough for Yin to see what this store is selling.
Wooden shelves lean against the wall, like bookshelves, separated by layers, and boxes of different sizes are placed on the wooden boards of each layer in turn. Some of these boxes were covered with dried weeds, others were covered with fine silk, and there were many pillows made of duck down cotton. The boxes of different shapes are lined with different materials, and in almost every box, an egg is placed in each of them. Some eggs are the size of fingernails, while others look like boulders.
There were eggs of different shapes and colors in the shop, and looking at the rows of eggs that passed by, Yin Ying couldn't help but be stunned, and just as she looked up at the eggs placed in various places in the store, there was a sudden inquiry behind her.
"Hello, what do you need?" The old man's voice was as dry as scrub, and it exploded in this quiet store, and he was frightened by the yin people who only paid attention to the surroundings. Startled, he looked towards the source of the sound, and saw an old man standing behind the bar.
The form is old and withered, and he looks very old, and when he first saw him, he was startled by his old age, but soon the yin and the young man will settle down, and then ask: "Hello, may I ask what you sell in this store?" ā
Unlike other shops that sell commonly used or cherished items, this one's business can almost be called bleak.
"What am I selling here? As you can see, everything sold is on the counter, and I can take it down for you if you need it. ā
"All on it? Do you mean these eggs are all from your store? What are these eggs used for? ā
"Eat, or concoct elixir, you can do whatever you want. Of course, you can also choose to hatch them if you wish. ā
"Hatched? Are these eggs alive? Can it hatch? ā
"Of course, all the eggs sold in my store are alive, but whether they can hatch or not depends on your fate with it."
"Really?" Because of the shopkeeper's words, Yin Lingying suddenly became interested in the eggs in the store, and walked to the cabinet to caress the eggs placed on it. The warmth of the hand proves what the shopkeeper just said that these eggs are living creatures.
Touching it lightly, the egg touched under her fingertips seemed to sense her touch, and actually touched her fingertips in response. Surprised by the egg's response, Yin asked, "What can this egg hatch?" ā
"That's like a tengu's egg."
"Tengu's? What about this? ā
"That seems to be a poor strange!"
"It's amazing that there are even poor eggs!" They were all mythical beasts that had been heard of in ancient rumors, listening to the explanation of the shopkeeper, Yin Lingqi gently touched one egg after another, and when her fingertips touched one of the eggs, there was a sudden needle-like stinging pain on her fingertips.
The sudden pricking made her lose her voice, and she hurriedly withdrew her hand and then looked at the extra blood beads on her fingertips, looking at the blood beads on her fingertips that looked like red agate, and said, "This egg will pierce people." ā
"Stabbing?"
"Yes!"
Listening to Yin Ling's words, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked out from behind the bar, and quickly came to Yin Ling's side, and when he looked at the blood beads spilling from her fingers, the shopkeeper turned to look at the egg that hurt Yin.
The pure white egg, covered with some white shading, the lines seem to be alive, as long as you look at other places with wrong eyes, the next moment you see the lines are definitely different from the previous time. It was such a strange egg, the shopkeeper said suddenly after staring at it for a moment.
"Miss, it seems that it has a fate with you!"
"It? With me? ā
"Yes!" A shriveled grin appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the shopkeeper said.
"But I didn't bring any money!" Not to mention that she didn't see where she had anything to do with this egg, but she did, and now she has no money to pay the bill. Originally, I wanted to signal that the shopkeeper had no money, so that he didn't have to sell it, but the shopkeeper took the egg off the cabinet, and then put it in her hand and said.
"Miss has a relationship with it, it's yours, you don't need money."
"But? That's not good! ā
"Money can't buy everything, sometimes fate is the root of the encounter, Miss take it away, it is destined to be yours."
"Yes? Is it? Although the shopkeeper's words were a little strange, she was reluctant to put it down after taking the egg. Looking at the eggs in the box, no more than the size of a fist on the down pillow, Yin asked the girl.
"By the way, what can this egg hatch?"
"What to hatch? It depends on the lady's luck. ā
"My luck?" Yin Ling really didn't understand the shopkeeper's words, but she didn't ask for a clearer reply from the shopkeeper, and finally she could only hold the egg, and Yin Ling left the shop.
