421 Unexpected Guests [Three Watches]
After having some spirit stones on hand, Nuomi also bought a lot of things in the market.
When she went back and counted again, she realized that she hadn't bought anything for herself at all, except for some fairy grass and rune paper, most of the things she bought were used on small vines, those spirit lotuses and leopards.
The only knick-knacks she bought for herself were five beans in a small sachet.
As long as these five beans are thrown out, they will become five little people when they land, each of which is only the size of a glutinous rice thumb, but they are quite diligent and sharp. They have no spells, no power, and all they can do is do some housework, or go into a small crevice that ordinary people can't get through, and pick out the things inside. If the jade slip rolls down to the bottom of the cabinet, these five little bean people will be very useful.
Glutinous rice bought these five little beans back, purely to look at them so cute.
The casual cultivator who sold small beans also knew that they were really of little use, and he didn't dare to set a very high price.
In this way, I did a few days of trading in the market, and I found some good things, and the name of Qianrenzong really spread.
The rest of the small sects were probably inspired by them, and they also followed Qin Guanglan's example and made the name of the sect in front of the stall. It's just that those small sects are not like the Qianren Sect, there is an alchemy apprentice doing things behind them, and the stalls are just ordinary things for sale, and not many casual cultivators really care about the name of their sects, so they can only show a gritted tooth next to the stall of the Qianren Sect, but they can't help it.
In this Xianyi City, private fighting is completely prohibited. For this sect meeting, the City Lord's Mansion sent a large number of monks to patrol this immortal city. Once the phenomenon of private fighting is discovered, no matter the reason, the party that provokes right and wrong will be driven outside Xianyi City, and no longer allowed to participate in this sect conference.
With such a rule, no matter how jealous those small sects on the side were, they couldn't really do anything to Qin Guanglan and Nuomi.
This lasted for several days, and it was busy and busy, and finally it was time for the sect assembly to be held.
When she got up on this day, Nuomi was still preparing to open the furnace to refine the Qi Replenishing Pill as usual, but unexpectedly, Qin Guanglan came to the front of her room early in the morning and knocked on the door, shouting, "Ah Miao, Ah Miao, hurry up and freshen up and go." Looking at the monks who were crowded in front of the City Lord's Mansion before, I am afraid that there will be a crowd today. We had gone there earlier, set up our positions, and could see the excitement on the stage. ”
"Ah, I've completely forgotten that today is the day of the sect's conference." Nuomi exclaimed, hurriedly went over and opened the door, and when she saw Qin Guanglan standing in front of the door, she was a little hurried, "I'm already up, and I'm about to open the furnace for alchemy, and I've completely forgotten about it." ”
Qin Guanglan also laughed and said, "Recently, earning spirit stones has indeed been very refreshing. It's just that the purpose of our coming here is this sect conference. If you forget to participate in order to earn spirit stones, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? It took me a lot of money to buy a good location. You'd be looking forward to it, too. ”
Nuomi pouted, but he also knew that he really didn't take this sect conference to heart, so he quickly picked up the shadow and painting on the table, and followed Qin Guanglan to hurry towards the place of the sect conference.
Along the way, the monks who rushed to the other end of the road were choked up, and many of them came out slowly, and although they were sitting on their horses, they could not leap over the crowd in the air, but could only move forward little by little in the direction of the flow of people.
It wasn't too late for the two of them to go out, and they were on the stalls closer to the periphery. After squeezing it slightly, it was also smooth to the front of the huge "wide" field.
Qin Guanglan flashed a sign at the monk who was blocking the road, and immediately a monk led the two to the front of the small stall.
Originally, Nuomi thought that this stall would be like the stall in the market, just placing a rag on the ground and asking people to sit on it casually. But after seeing it, she knew that the booth of this sect conference was not as simple as she imagined, but instead set up a small grass shed, a counter was blocked outside, tables and chairs were placed inside, and spiritual fruits and spiritual tea were placed.
Although the jade is not the best, it is not an ordinary stone, and it exudes a faint aura, and it is still some kind of spiritual jade that is not very high-level. From a distance, it looks like that.
The monk of the City Lord's Mansion who led them the way was obviously too busy to turn around, and after leading them to the front of the Qianren Sect's stall, he immediately turned around and left, not having the time to say a word to them at all.
Nuomi saw that Qin Guanglan entered the shed without care, and sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, so his eyes widened slightly, and he said, "I thought ?? I didn't expect this booth to be very good. ”
"Naturally, it's going to be good. After all, we are huā spent the spirit stone, if we are asked to sit in front of the big sun, isn't it very bad? Qin Guanglan looked accustomed to it, and took another spirit fruit before greeting glutinous rice, "This spirit fruit is not bad, it looks like a ten-year-old cloud orange." Come and sit down here, and put the picture on the counter outside. It's still a long time, and from our outside, we can just see the stage. When those casual cultivators came to power, there were many introductions. Listen to it and help me remember it, so that we can pick out the disciples from among them. ”
"Do we pick disciples? I thought that our small sect was chosen by our disciples. ”
Nuomi muttered slightly, but she still listened to Qin Guanglan's words, put the shadow outside, walked into the shed, and sat down in the direction of the platform.
They had come a little early, and the monks outside had not yet fully entered the area, and the stage was empty, and there was no one at all, but there were many ornate positions.
Qin Guanglan pointed to those locations and introduced them to Nuomi, saying that those were the places where the stewards of the large and medium-sized sects would sit down for a while.
"If in the past, if the Ten Thousand Swords Sect wanted to come to this sect conference, it would also be on that stage. I've never participated in any of these on behalf of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so it's said to be quite boring. I didn't expect to sit down on this platform now. Qin Guanglan muttered, with a little emotion in her words, but she didn't mean to ask Nuomi to respond, and quickly talked about the seat on the stage again.
Those positions are also hierarchical. From left to right, there is a lonely position on the far left, which is supposed to be prepared for Jiao Suqing. A little further away from that location are two seats almost side by side.
"Uh, weird. Today's seating arrangement is really incomprehensible. Qin Guanglan pointed to the two seats next to each other and said, "Didn't the shopkeeper say that the city lord of Xianyi City invited a hall master from the six majors. It stands to reason that in addition to the demon cultivation power, this second position should be vacated for the six major hall masters. It's just that now they have arranged another position, almost tied for second place. Could it be that this city lord of Xianyi City actually invited two stewards of the Big Six? ”
Nuomi was a little unclear, and he had never participated in a sect conference, so he looked at Qin Guanglan with a blank look.
Qin Guanglan lowered his head and thought for a long time, and when he looked up again, he saw Nuomi's expression, and then he said apologetically, "You are young and have not experienced the sect conference, so it is normal not to know. On weekdays, in these sect conferences, it is not very common to see the six major stewards. The smaller fairy city can't invite the six major people at all. Even if it's please, you can only invite one of them. As if there was an agreement, there would never be two sects of stewards at the same conference. This time, it's a bit weird. ”
Nuomi didn't know such rules at all, so naturally she didn't feel anything about it. Seeing Qin Guanglan bow his head and ponder, he sat quietly on the side and looked at the situation outside, without disturbing Qin Guanglan's thoughts.
It wasn't until the sun was at its peak that I suddenly heard a loud gong and drum sound from the stage, as if the gong and drum had shaken all the way to people's hearts.
Before the sound of gongs and drums stopped, I suddenly heard a melodious voice singing along with the auspicious clouds that spread from the sky: "Greetings-Qibao Pavilion Incense Master Liao Xian-to-"
Qin Guanglan suddenly raised her eyebrows, leaned over to Nuomi's ear, and said, "It's started." The first one to arrive was the weakest of the sect. Wait and see. ”
Nuomi nodded, looked up, and sure enough, he saw the monk who fell from the auspicious clouds standing in front of the rightmost position very consciously.
The sound of gongs and drums continued to sound, and the sound of singing newspapers has not been interrupted, auspicious clouds are surging in the sky, and the masters of the incense hall of one sect after another also appear. Nuomi even heard Huāmian's name. Although she knew that Huāmian was unlikely to spot her, she couldn't help but shrink back.
Soon, on the top of the platform, there were only the three positions on the far left Qin Guanglan leaned forward slightly, and heard the voice of the newspaper singing leisurely: "Greeting-Xuantian Pavilion-Luoyingtang-Thirteenth Generation Inner Disciple--Ye Fan-to-"
As soon as these words fell, not to mention that Qin Guanglan and Nuo Mi changed their faces at the same time, even the monks standing on the stage all showed stunned expressions.
And the monks of the same small sect who were originally just waiting to watch the play in the audience even sent out an uproar. (To be continued.)
