Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Fair
Ah Umbrella once claimed to be a "wanderer", without a father or mother, heaven and earth as his home, and vowed to take a good look at his 'home'. She has been to the southwest of China, where there are many ethnic minorities. Once, I occasionally followed a local acquaintance to their tribe's bazaar and met an old man.
The old man's stall was full of cow horns, eagle claws, wild boar teeth and the like, but it was a unique piece of jade. When she saw it, she had the heart to buy it.
But the price offered by the old man made her hesitate, but she didn't expect that when she said that she would not buy it, the old man gave her the jade instead.
Later, the jade was made into a necklace by her, and she has been wearing it on her body ever since, but she only stayed with her for three months before she was buried in the sea with her.
Ah Umbrella returned from his memories, and he always remembered those past events when he came in
Lancheng is also brightly lit at night, unlike Jingcheng, which is a city with no nightlife at all.
Ah Umbrella was taken by the shopkeeper to a big casino in the west of the city, the casino was very lively, there were ordinary people and monks. Ah Umbrella is very curious about the gambling of ordinary people and monks, how can they know if the monk is cheating?
She didn't have a chance to know, so she followed the shopkeeper straight through the noisy casino and into a corridor behind the casino. There is a door at the end of the hallway.
"Immortal, I can only take you here."
Ah Umbrella nodded and threw him a spirit stone, and Xiao Er smiled so much that he couldn't see his eyebrows.
Near the gate, a big man stood on the left and right, stretching out his hand: "Invitation." ”
Hearing Jiufang say that these two people were monks in the Spiritual Silence Period, Ah Umbrella raised his eyebrows. took out the invitation, but I was secretly shocked in my heart, but I didn't expect that the two gatekeepers were in the silent period.
"Please come in."
Dahan read the invitation, returned it to Ah Umbrella, and opened the door for her.
As soon as Ah Umbrella walked into the door, the door behind him was immediately closed with a "pop", and at this point, the noise of the casino was completely extinguished.
"Take it."
There was a small room on the side, and a withered hand suddenly stretched out of the window. Ah Umbrella remained silent and took the black cloak.
"The little girl is here for the first time? Why don't you follow the adults in the family. It's a cannibalism that doesn't spit out bones. Always bring a cape. The hoarse voice sounded again, and he said without emotion.
Most of the things that are traded on the black market are not visible.
"Take it, it's a special cloak made on the black market. Over here. This cloak will insulate you from the prying eyes of others. Jiufang spoke. He added: "This old man is out of his body. ”
Ah Umbrella raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and at the same time put on the cloak, and then put on the attached hat. Move forward. While traveling, she secretly thought to herself, this black market is even more large-scale than she imagined, and she is a master of the out-of-body period when she enters the door.
The so-called black market fair is just like a stall in the market, with people wearing black cloaks walking through the huge open space, their faces are hidden in their hats, and nothing can be seen.
Of course, there will be some monks who do not wear cloaks.
By the time the umbrella arrived, there were already many monks sitting cross-legged on the ground, with things in front of them.
There was a protruding round platform in the middle of the field, I don't know what it was for, there were already a lot of people sitting around it, those monks didn't seem to be here to trade, there was nothing in front of them, they sat quietly towards the round platform, more like waiting for someone.
Ah Umbrella was a little disappointed, this black market fair is not much different from visiting the stalls.
Soon, he lifted his spirits again and began to walk around, the monk had the most weapons in front of him, followed by spiritual herbs and elixirs, and some exercises and jade slips.
Ah Umbrella walked around, but he didn't find anything suitable for him, and the prices offered by those monks were extremely high. Ah Umbrella took it back after a glance.
Among them, the most exchanged is the Broken Baby Pill. That thing, how could she have it?
"Umbrella girl, I said there are no good things, you don't believe me." Jiufang sat boredly on the left shoulder of Ah Umbrella, shaking two small short legs, and the white cat was forced into the mustard seed space by Ah Umbrella before leaving, saving the monk from having an accident because of his "knowledge".
"It's not that there are no good things, it's just that I don't need those things now, otherwise I can't afford to trade." Most of the black market transactions are bartered, and since the confiscation of the black iron ring, Ah Umbrella has been so poor that he only has money left.
But those spirit stones didn't have much attraction in the eyes of these Yuanying cultivators.
These cloaks can block other people's divine sense, but they can't help Jiufang, after entering the trading market, Jiufang told Ah Umbrella that there are many Yuan Infant monks in this trading market, and there are even a few out-of-body periods. Of course, there are also those who cultivate the same as Ah Umbrella, but people come with the adults in the family.
The people who participated in the black market trade fair were either casual cultivators or children of immortal cultivators, and most of them were these two types of people.
"Huh? Umbrella girl, look at the branches. ”
Hearing this, Ah Umbrella's eyes swept to a small stall diagonally opposite, on which were scattered a few spiritual weapons and some elixir spiritual plants, among which there was a small silver branch, and the branches were full of white colloid. There is only one line of words on the jade plaque on the stall: only change the baby pill.
Quietly squatting down, looking at the silver branches, his consciousness swept over, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't know what was so special.
The stall owner saw that Ah Umbrella was just looking, and did not stretch out his hand to move, but also followed her.
"What is this?"
"Heavenly Thunder Branch." Jiufang replied.
Ah Umbrella raised his eyebrows, it turned out that this small branch was the Heavenly Thunder Branch, although it was a branch, it was harder than fine iron, and it was especially suitable for creating a thunder attribute spiritual weapon.
It's just that such a small Heavenly Thunder Branch is not worth a Broken Baby Pill. Moreover, it is useless for her to ask for this day Thunder Branch, and just thinking about it, a knocked down demon tree flashed in Ah Umbrella's mind
Damn it!
Ah Umbrella pursed his lips, Mu Zhenqi ran quietly, stretched out his finger and pointed at the thunder branch that day, and the voice made was old and dumb: "How did the thunder branch exchange that day?" ”
The stall owner's gaze swept over the hand that was as thin as the bark of an old tree, and his tone was displeased: "Except for the Broken Baby Pill, nothing else will be changed." ”
At this time, Ah Umbrella has already received affirmation from Jiufang, this stall owner is a nine-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Yuan Infant Great Perfection, and the lifespan of a monk in the Yuan Infant Period is only one thousand years, if he can't break through, it is already approaching.
"You can't even change half a Broken Baby Pill this day."
"Hmph." The stall owner also knows this, but in order to get a broken baby pill, he still has to try his luck.
"Although I don't have the Baby Breaking Pill, how about I exchange it with you with the Wind Spirit Grass?" Wind Spirit Grass is the main medicinal material for refining the Broken Infant Pill, and it is difficult to find it in the rich Dongzhou, and it is very rare in this remote East China Sea.
When the stall owner heard this, the hand hidden in the cloak moved, and Ah Umbrella saw that he was tempted, so he added chips and said, "Two wind spirit grasses." "Two chances to refine the Broken Baby Pill.
The stall owner was silent, lost in thought.
At this time, Ah Umbrella seemed to be impatient, stood up, swept his eyes to the other stalls, his eyes lit up, as if he had found something he liked, and his footsteps were about to move forward-
"I'll change!"
Far away from the stall, Ah Umbrella disappeared into the crowd, and the wrinkled skin on his hands also returned to white and full.
"Umbrella girl, you made a profit, and exchanged two useless spirit grasses for that thing."
"Although the value of the two Wind Spirit Grasses is slightly lower than that of the Thunder Branch that day, it can't be said to be profitable." It was also thanks to the monk who was anxious to break the baby pill, so he had to bargain less.
"You girl is still so illiterate, how could Lei Zhi get into my eyes in Jiufang that day, I'm talking about the jade rubber."
Ah Umbrella's feet stopped, his eyes were full of disbelief, and his voice was a little excited: "Jade rubber? ”
"That's right, the white colloid on the thunder branch that day is jade rubber, alas, I still know the goods in Jiufang." Jiufang, who shook his head, once again raised his beard to the sky. (To be continued......)
