56. Chapter 56
Although Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai had just made a vow to stay with each other for a thousand years, time did not change faster because of them, and they were still walking slowly.
In the morning, the two hugged each other in bed and snuggled up for a long time, watching the ray of sunlight leaking through the window cracks on the floor slowly move. When the light moved all the way from their ankles to their chests, Tang Lin finally reluctantly poked Xiao Zibai's chest.
"It's time to get up?" His voice was a little excited! After the hoarseness, Xiao Zibai moved his arm to his waist and abdomen, and after being slapped away by Tang Lin lazily, he rubbed Tang Lin: "I don't want to get up." ”
Tang Lin sighed melancholy: he didn't really want to get up. But after all, it is impossible for the two of them to grow up in bed, and under the persuasion of "maybe you can buy some sugar gourds today", the two of them reluctantly got up from the bed. After getting dressed, Xiao Zibai suddenly handed Tang Lin a wooden box.
"What's in there?" Tang Lin took it curiously, and subconsciously shook it, and there was a crisp sound caused by a hard object hitting the surface of the box.
Xiao Zibai: "...... Don't shake! Open directly! ”
Tang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the box suspiciously, and found a comb lying inside.
It is a familiar wooden comb, but it is much more delicate than the one I received before, and even every comb tooth has been carefully polished. The handle is warm to the touch, and although it is wooden, it has a faint luster, some like jade. Carved into the comb was a very familiar bird, with wings and three legs, and its tail feathers gently covering a sword.
“…… In this case, the tail feathers will be cut off by the sword......" Tang Lin said silently, Xiao Zibai coughed heavily, and said embarrassedly: "Don't care about those details, I really can't think of anything to replace me......"
Instead of him? This is obviously saying that the bird represents Tang Lin. Tang Lin critically examined the bird engraved on the comb, and after a few seconds, he snorted and let Xiao Zibai go: "I'm better looking than the one above." ”
"Yes, yes, you're much better looking than the ones on here." Xiao Zibai hurriedly said.
Tang Lin said that Xiao Zibai knew each other very well.
He stared at the comb with pure admiration for a while, and was about to reach out and put the comb back in the box to refill it, Xiao Zibai hurriedly stopped him: "You haven't finished reading it yet!" ”
"How else can you look at the comb......" Tang Lin's words were not finished, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering the comb with words engraved on the back that Xiao Zibai gave him, so he turned the comb in his hand over and took a look: sure enough, it was also engraved.
"Two combs of white hair and eyebrows." Tang Lin glanced at the word twice, and after reading it twice, he remembered the words engraved on the comb at the beginning, as if he had an understanding.
"The first time was to exchange love tokens, this time it was ...... Hmm......" Xiao Zibai explained in a low voice, his cheeks flushed slightly as he spoke.
Tang Lin didn't have to think about it, he correctly understood the meaning of the word "um", and couldn't help but blush his cheeks a little. But after Xiao Zibai's words swirled in his mind for a moment, Tang Lin suddenly remembered: "Wait, when did we exchange love tokens?" ”
Xiao Zibai touched the back of Tang Lin's hand: "It's just that I think so in private." Then he didn't go any further.
The more reluctant he was to speak, the more curious Tang Lin became, and after seeing the comb in his hand, Tang Lin's heart finally flashed: "Is it the horn comb at the beginning?" ”
Xiao Zibai nodded slowly.
Tang Lin thought that except for the horn comb, he had indeed never given Xiao Zibai an ambiguous gift, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty because of it. However, in addition to feeling guilty, he couldn't help but tug on Xiao Zibai's sleeve: "That can't be counted." He said in a hurried voice: "It's too rough, I refined it directly, and I haven't used any other tools, and it's the first time to practice a treasure, and I haven't added a few ...... to the forbidden magic circle."
"Wait, that comb is the first time you've made it?" Xiao Zibai said in surprise that his focus was obviously very different from Tang Lin's.
Tang Lin frowned and replied, "...... Yes. He looked at Xiao Zibai twice, and reluctantly admitted: "So it's not very good." It's slow to fly, and it doesn't have any other functions, so now that I think about it, I can do it better......"
Xiao Zibai kissed Tang Lin's lips all of a sudden.
"That comb is precious to me, but its preciousness is not because it is a useful magic weapon, but because it was made by you and given to me." Xiao Zibai let go of Tang Lin for a long time, stroked his back and whispered, "And you sue me now...... That's the first magic weapon you do. ”
"So it's rough." Tang Lin's voice was low.
"But -- the meaning is heavy."
Xiao Zibai smiled and hugged Tang Lin tightly, the leaves outside the vine nest rustled in the breeze, and in this rhythmic sound, Xiao Zibai picked up the comb and said to Tang Lin, "Let me comb your hair." ”
They lived here from summer to winter, and when the spring breeze blew and the winter snow first melted, the two of them finally remembered that Xiao Zibai still had a sword that had not yet been cast. The two of them counted the materials on their bodies and found that there was still a part of the difference, and the most important thing was that they did not have the corresponding tools to forge swords, especially the magic treasure fairy sword.
So I had to prepare to go somewhere else, but this time I was going to no longer a mortal town, but a fairy market.
On the morning when he left, Tang Lin caught a glimpse of Xiao Zibai with his back to him, leaning over on the desk and concentrating on writing something. thought he was writing a diary, but he felt that Xiao Zibai did not have the habit of writing a diary, so he peeked curiously at the desk. It's okay not to aim, but Tang Lin couldn't help but be angry at a glance: "What are you painting!" ”
Xiao Zibai was taken aback, he couldn't even take care of the pen in his hand, and hurriedly put the booklet in his arms, but where was the time. Tang Lin moved quickly, and before he could put the booklet into the storage bag, he pulled it over.
Shaking his hand to open it, he just turned the page that Xiao Zibai was drawing a moment ago.
The painting is a flower pavilion, the pavilion is purely naturally generated, without half a trace of artificiality, the background is under an earthen wall, and the door can be faintly seen on the left side. What made Tang Lin angry was not the Flower Pavilion itself, but the two people in the Flower Pavilion who were untidy and about to turn over the clouds.
Tang Lin glared at Xiao Zibai with his eyes: "Why did you draw this too?!" ”
He had already recognized the material of this thin book: it was clearly the kind that Xiao Zibai had given him before. Tang Lin did know that Xiao Zibai had recently had the habit of painting the heavy dà incidents that happened to them, but that time in Huating?!
"Are you going to paint all of our things?" Tang Lin's gaze was almost about to cut Xiao Zibai in half, Xiao Zibai quickly shook his head and denied: "No! Before Tang Lin could breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this, Xiao Zibai added: "I only plan to paint those with heavy meaning." ”
"The meaning of the ...... of the heavy dà" XX?!
Tang Lin almost choked to death without calling him this sentence.
"Can't you be a little purer! Don't be so dirty, you can't do it! Tang Lin's hands shaking with the booklet were shaking.
Because of the contract, Xiao Zibai smoothly understood the meaning of Tang Lin's words, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't paint them because of dirt, it was indeed because the meaning was heavy...... For example, that time was our first time XX ah, so of course we had to draw it......"
Tang Lin threw the booklet out without hesitation, and confused Xiao Zibai's face.
"How can you draw this!"
"Why can't you draw it?"
Tang Lin persevered, Xiao Zibai persevered, and in the end, the two fought fiercely for several times, and finally let go of the matter and began to pack their luggage and prepare for departure again.
If they want to buy the artifacts for casting the magic weapon fairy sword, they naturally want to go to the fairy market. It was mentioned in the original text that the Xianjia Bazaar is located in a barren mountain and a wild mountain with a very small number of mortals, although Xiaojia Village is also a barren mountain and a wild mountain, but due to the author's forcible setting, there is no trace of immortals near Xiaojia Village. They have to go shopping, and they have to go over mountains and mountains and walk a long way.
By the time of the nearest Xianjia Bazaar, it was already three days later.
This bazaar is different from the bazaar that Xiao Zibai once took Tang Lin to, and it was built in the belly of the mountains. The cultivators emptied the belly of the mountain with their ** force, and supported the vast space with various magic circles, and when they walked through the waterfall all the way to the market, they could still see the slightly green sky outside when they looked up.
"This is the most prosperous market near the Central Plains." Xiao Zibai said to Tang Lin with a smile.
In the middle of the mountain is a huge hollow, and various shops spiral up the mountain wall, and the empty part in the middle is placed where the formation of the three thousand worlds is placed. They were layered upward, and every now and then a teleported light flashed, shining in all colors within the dark belly of the mountain.
Because the space in the belly of this mountain was too vast, Tang Lin and Xiao Zibai could hardly feel any arc when they walked up the wooden slope that spiraled upward along with the mountain wall.
They walked cautiously on the inside of the wooden slope, and from time to time there were cultivators who flew in on magic weapons outside the wooden slope. This bazaar was completely three-dimensional, streamers of light came and went quickly around the spectacular formation map, Tang Lin had never seen such a magical scene, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, and found several flying accidents between several cultivators due to the speed of the magic weapon.
There were also cultivators who drove a big white bird and wore uniform clothes to patrol back and forth, and when they saw a flight accident, they immediately flew forward to mediate.
"It's the first time I've seen someone harness a spirit animal." Tang Lin whispered to Xiao Zibai, who gave him a look back and motioned for him to look at the big bird that was slowly patrolling near a wooden slope around them. Tang Lin looked at it and was surprised to find a sign on the big bird that belonged to the Imperial Beast Sect.
"The spirit beasts of the Royal Beast Sect are very expensive to rent." Xiao Zibai whispered to Tang Lin: "That is, in such a prosperous place, you can afford to use so many spirit beasts, and it is difficult to see one or two in other places." You'd rather use a puppet or something...... The Royal Beast Sect is a model that has not been open for three years and has been open for three years. ”
Tang Lin remembered the scene when Kong Liu threw him a bunch of spirit stones with his big hand and motioned for him to "spend them casually......
"Is that really okay?" Tang Lin couldn't help but ask Xiao Zibai through the contract: "Really won't be besieged because the price is too high?" ”
"This is not going to happen, after all, the strength of the Royal Beast Sect is still quite strong, and everyone's demand for spirit beasts is not very urgent." Xiao Zibai thought for a while, and explained according to his understanding: "The current puppet industry is quite developed, and the price of stand-in puppets is still high because of the limitation of materials, but ordinary puppets are already very common. ”
"I haven't seen any puppets in the Imperial Beast Sect or Ling Shan?" Tang Lin was still a little puzzled.
"I haven't been to the Imperial Beast Sect, but we are Lingshan ......" Xiao Zibai couldn't help but pursed the corners of his lips: "Although the puppet is good, it needs to be burned with spirit stones, and the disciples want to spend spirit stones anyway, so you don't need to use it in vain." ”
Tang Lin: "...... Is it really good to be so straightforward? ”
"My master said that." Xiao Zibai spread his hands and said that the old men of the Lingshan Sword Sect were such straightforward people.
After spreading his hands, he sighed lowly: "I heard that our Ling Shan has been quite difficult recently, there are too many disciples and too little income, so I can't take care of it a little." Now there is little sword cultivation, everyone thinks that sword cultivation is useless and not profitable, and law cultivation, medicine cultivation, and Fu cultivation are more popular than sword cultivation. As soon as the number of sword cultivators is small, our Ling Shan's sword will not be able to sell it. ”
"Before I came out, my master was still discussing with the elders that he wanted to lend the disciples out to the shop or something to be bodyguards...... Jin Dan's foundation building is charged according to the grade, and even the Yuan Infant Transformation God can be hired at the expense of the Yuanying God, which is also ......" Xiao Zibai sighed heavily.
Tang Lin felt that his pocket was full of spirit stones, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He glanced at Xiao Zibai a few times, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a feather-like streamer flying towards him in the distance. "The shape and color of this streamer are very familiar", Tang Lin's heart just crossed this thought, and he felt a sudden pain in his forehead, and the streamer quickly bypassed Xiao Zibai's block, and smashed on Tang Lin's forehead with a "bang".
For a while, the world was spinning.
"No...... Don't help me...... I'm fine......" Tang Lin's body shook a few times before he stood firm, and in Xiao Zibai's worried eyes, he rubbed the redness and swelling on his forehead, reached out and picked up the jade slip wrapped in the streamer, and pasted it on his forehead - of course, he remembered to avoid the lump this time.
What came at the head was Kong Liu's condemnation of his head and face, and the central content was
"I warned you that underage demons are not allowed to snap! Five hundred years old adult! How old are you now! It's just a snap! Even if you've used Shapeshifting Grass! The body is an adult, and the mind is not yet an adult! You must have been deceived by someone else! Say! Who is that person! This paragraph full of exclamation marks was repeated several times by Kong Liu with different tones, different tones and different words, Tang Lin looked at the jade slip for a long time, and also took out a jade slip, pressed it on his forehead for a moment, and threw it back in the direction of the Imperial Beast Sect with his spiritual power.
Only one sentence was written on it.
"When does the apprentice still need the master to take care of it?"
Kong Liu was almost choked to death by Tang Lin's words.
Looking at the jade slip in his hand, and then looking at the large number of "bride gifts" sent by the Lingshan Sword Sect, Kong Liu was simply angry.
Minor snapped and snapped! Why are you still the one below! The people over there in Lingshan have all paid a bride price to marry you back!
it!
Kong Liu's anger mixed with killing intent pressed directly on the two hundred miles around the Imperial Beast Sect, frightening all the little demons who shrank their heads when they walked, and the entire sect was silent for a while.
