Chapter 489: Shopping in Kyoto
Xiao Ding and Bai Junfei followed the old fairy and Meng Po out of the inn's house.
After coming to the courtyard, the column opened a posture.
Xiao Ding took out the mace directly from the space, this iron hammer full of wolf fangs and thorns, it looked very heavy.
To be exact, his mace looks more like a mace. Because at one end of his mace, there is an iron hammer that is several circles larger than a human head. It's just that this hammer is not like a mace that is round, but his hammer is oblong, so it is also classified as a mace.
Bai Junfei's weapon is still the sword he has always used. The four of them showed the door, and without saying much, they immediately fought together.
Xiao Ding is now a master of the Light Body Technique and the Vajra Technique, his body is full of spiritual energy, and his body is extremely powerful, so it is not too easy to fight an elderly lady.
Although the old immortal Teng Snake has exquisite martial arts and superb internal strength, it is also a little unbearable to meet a powerful person like Xiao Ding. What's more, don't look at Xiao Ding's heavy weapon, the speed at which he wields it is not slow at all.
On Bai Junfei's side, he was naturally able to fight against Meng Po with a ghost mask. Meng Po's martial arts are ordinary, and what she is good at is still the set of ghost-summoning spells in the Spirit Castle.
Therefore, after fighting for a while, she gradually lost the wind, and immediately recited the incantation, and it did not take long for a dark wind to blow in the courtyard. Then with a terrible ghost scream, a terrible ghost has been summoned by Meng Po.
Xiao Ding Tian could see the ghost when he opened his eyes, but Bai Junfei couldn't see it.
Xiao Ding was worried that Bai Junfei would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly took out a talisman and a lightning strike wooden hairpin from the space and threw them to Bai Junfei, saying, "Take these two things with you, and the ghost will not help you." ”
Although Bai Junfei heard the ghost scream, he was a little stunned, but he couldn't see where the ghost was, and heard Xiao Ding say to bring these two things, so he was busy, so he hung the amulet around his neck and inserted the wooden hairpin on the top of his head casually.
In this way, no matter how Meng Po recited the spell and urged the powerful ghost to attack Bai Junfei, the powerful ghost was always there, and after only attacking the three feet around Bai Junfei, he immediately stopped and did not dare to approach.
Xiao Ding saw that the talisman and the wooden hairpin really worked, so he no longer worried about Bai Junfei being attacked by that powerful ghost. Retract your attention and concentrate on dealing with the old fairy of the snake.
At this moment, the old fairy of Teng Snake was a little unbearable. She is already old and old, and her strength is far inferior to Xiao Ding, so her dragon head crutch does not dare to collide with Xiao Ding's mace, so she can only dodge around. Seeing that she was always at a disadvantage, she used her housekeeping trick - the nail of the door.
However, Xiao Ding carried the Vajra Protector, and several funeral nails launched from the head of her crutch did not pierce the flesh and skin of Xiao Ding's body, and all of them fell to the ground.
Xiao Ding saw her launch the funeral door nail, and at the same time thought of the iron nail in his space. The last time he fought against those little Japan, he used iron nails to win. You might as well use it again this time.
So his mind moved, and he immediately took out a few iron nails, let go of his divine sense, locked the position of the old immortal of Teng Snake, and exerted his strength with his hand, and the iron nails shot out quickly. Although the old immortal of Teng Snake was always vigilant, the speed of the iron nail launched by Xiao Ding was too fast, and he didn't have time to react.
In desperation, the old fairy of Teng Snake quickly jumped to the side and dodged four or five of the iron nails, but on his left arm and left shoulder, he was still hit by two of the iron nails, and the two-inch-long iron nails were deep into the bone.
After the old fairy of Teng Snake was nailed, "oops", she turned around and ran, Meng Po saw that the old fairy of Teng Snake had escaped, and she immediately jumped out of the circle with a false move, and followed the old fairy of Teng Snake to escape.
When Xiao Ding saw it, both of them were about to run away, so he hurriedly took out a few iron nails again and threw them, all of which hit Meng Po, who fell behind.
Immediately, blood flowed down her back, hips, and thighs.
At this time, you can guess without looking at it, the four or five iron nails hit Meng Po's back, buttocks, and thighs respectively.
At the moment when Meng Po was injured and fled, she didn't forget to use the spell and took the terrible ghost away.
Xiao Ding has long had the intention of getting rid of the people in the Spirit Castle, because the spells they use are too evil, directly extracting the souls of normal people, and then cultivating them into powerful ghosts and then coming out to harm people. Sects that do such deeds really shouldn't stay in the world.
However, at this time, the two old women had already fled far away and could not continue to catch up.
Xiao Ding had no choice but to return to the house with Bai Junfei.
Everyone in the room had just been secretly leaning on the window and door and looking outside. These residents, when they heard the terrible screams in the courtyard just now, they were all frightened, including the second girl Xiao'e, who were also frightened. How had they ever seen such a strange thing? Fortunately, they can't see the terrifying appearance of the ghost yet, otherwise, I don't know what they will be scared of.
After Xiao Ding and the two returned to the house, the people in the house breathed a sigh of relief. Only the shopkeeper had a sad face and was depressed, and he was still muttering: "The two old women haven't settled the bill yet, so they all ran away......
Xiao Ding's ears were pointed, and he heard all the words muttered by the shopkeeper, so he took out two taels of silver and threw them on the table in front of the guy, and said with a smile: "Is this silver enough for the store money of those two old witches?" ”
The shop guy was stunned for a moment, and immediately nodded to Xiao Ding with a smile, and said: "Enough, enough, you are really a good person, they had to work hard with you before, and you are still willing to help them pay for the store......
Xiao Ding smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to say anything else, we haven't had dinner yet, what good wine and meat do you have in your store, even if you send it, we won't miss your money." ”
The shopkeeper has been in the business for many years, and when he heard Xiao Ding's tone, he knew that this must be a local tyrant, and only a local tyrant can say such a bold statement that is not bad for money, and he thought that he could make a lot of money again, so he greeted him with a smile and said: "Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, I'll go down to help you arrange it!" ”
The guy in this shop saw that the big donor was coming, and the speed of going down to arrange it was quite fast. Since Xiao Ding didn't have to wait long, all kinds of big fish and meat, good wine and good food in the store were served on the table.
Everyone chatted while eating, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the old fairy and Meng Po just now. Xiao Ding immediately gave everyone a general description of some of his past experiences with these two. At the same time, he took out three amulets and a wooden hairpin of lightning strike wood, and distributed them to Erniu, Xiao'e, and Ou Muyun. Liu San and his wife and Zheng Die'er didn't know martial arts, and they would not easily get involved in disputes in the rivers and lakes, so Xiao Ding didn't give them points.
The function of this amulet and wooden hairpin is mainly used to protect the spirits and expel external evils from encountering ghosts and evil objects.
Erniu, Xiao'e, Ou Muyun, and Bai Junfei are all people around Xiaoding who know martial arts, maybe they will participate in any fight, if they encounter the people of the Spirit Castle to drive the ghosts to hurt people, they have these talismans and protective bodies, although they can't see the ghosts yet, but they can also ensure that they themselves will not be attacked by the ghosts.
After the two girls and the three of them brought the amulet and the wooden hairpin, everyone chatted for a while while while eating, until they were full of wine and food, and then everyone went back to the room to rest.
The next morning, everyone was still in a hurry. It didn't affect the progress because of the encounter with those two old witches.
The carriage galloped south. The further south you go, the less cold it gets than in the north.
Finally, on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, everyone crossed the Yangtze River by boat and came to the outside of Zhongzhou City.
Seeing that Zhongzhou City was in front of them, everyone's tense nerves for days were relieved.
The next step, as long as you go to the city and return home, it will be considered home. After more than a month of exhaustion, as long as you get home, it will disappear immediately.
Fortunately, I arrived in Zhongzhou City the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that I didn't have to spend the New Year on the road.
When the carriage drove into Zhongzhou City, it was full of lights, and there was a festive New Year's atmosphere.
The stalls on both sides of the road are full of all kinds of New Year's goods. On the last day of the year, many merchants began to sell goods at low prices.
The woman in the car, seeing such a lively scene in Zhongzhou City, couldn't help but be moved, and they all wanted to get out of the car and go shopping on the street, and buy some New Year's goods or something to bring back to the house by the way.
Xiao Ding knew that there would definitely be nothing lacking in the Hou Mansion, with Steward Xia here, the New Year's goods needed for the New Year must have been prepared a long time ago. But he couldn't spoil the interest of the women, so he agreed to let them get out of the car and take a look.
Now that the women have gotten out of the car, Xiao Ding and Ou Muyun can't continue to sit in the car. The two of them also got out of the car, far behind the women.
There was a lot of traffic on the streets, and the carriages were moving slowly. Sometimes it's not even as fast as walking.
When Erniu and Xiao'e first arrived in such a lively and bustling metropolis, they felt that their two eyes were not enough. Jiang took the iron egg, after all, he had stayed in Yanzhou City, but he was not as excited as Erniu and Xiao'e to see anything.
Zheng Die'er is everyone's best girl, she has lived in Zhizhou Mansion since she was a child, and her knowledge is naturally much stronger than that of a small village girl like Erniu. Therefore, among the four women, she is not shocked.
Xiao Ding saw that Erniu's mood had improved significantly in the past two days, and his heart was a lot more steady. It's just that I'm still thinking about it in my head, when I return to the Hou Mansion and see the civet cat, how should I explain this matter to the civet?
The women chattered non-stop as they walked, and from time to time they picked up some New Year's goods and threw them on the carriage.
When Xiao Ding saw it, he sighed in his heart: Women are indeed born to go shopping, whether it is ancient or modern in later generations.
The clothes and fabrics worn by these four women are all luxurious fabrics that Xiao Ding brought back to Yongzhou before, and the clothes they make are naturally very good-looking. In addition, the girls are all very beautiful, and soon, they attracted the attention of many people on the street.
Among these four people, Zheng Dieer is everyone's best girl, with a kind of talented female temperament, needless to say, otherwise Bai Junfei would not be fascinated by her.
Although the Jiang family has already married a wife, people in this era have married early, although the Jiang family has been married twice, but her actual age is only in her twenties, which is also an age in her prime. Compared with Erniu and Xiao'e, it adds a bit of mature charm.
The second girl was a little hairy child who didn't grow up before. But after more than half a year of physical development and her diligent practice, she was immediately reborn and became a young and beautiful girl. Her big black eyes were now even brighter; Her skin, which had been somewhat darkened, was now white and tender; Her previously shriveled and thin body has gradually plumped up, not to mention convex and backward, but also slender and moving; What's more, she has grown a lot taller in the past half a year, Xiao Ding's visual measurement, at this time, the height of the second girl is almost about one meter six in later generations, although in Xiao Ding's view, she still belongs to a short person, but the second girl's body is proportionally coordinated, which makes people look at it, and there will be a feeling of being a bird.
Compared with Erniu, Xiao'e is slightly inferior, although she has also had obvious development and changes in the past six months, and her appearance is much more beautiful than before, but her exercises are not as deep as Erniu's practice, and the transformation of her body by the exercises is still less. Relying only on the natural development of the body, there is naturally no feeling of rebirth of the second girl.
Therefore, although Xiao'e's body is now a lot plumper, her skin is still slightly darker, after all, the melanin accumulated for many years is deposited in the body, and there is no transformation of the muscles and marrow, only relying on her own transformation, the speed is still too slow.
The four girls are so swaggering through the market, and they are destined to become a beautiful scenery on the street.
Xiao Ding and Ou Muyun walked behind, and they didn't care about them, as long as they were happy, what Xiao Ding was most afraid of was that the second girl was sad and crying, and the second girl was crying, and his heart was also hurting.
At this moment, several people suddenly walked over from the opposite side.
These men were not tall, and the leader was a young man, who walked with a limp and was a tiptoe. Although he has a disability in his leg, his face shows a little resoluteness, a little unruly, and at the same time reveals great confidence.
His appearance is also considered to be upper-middle, and he is not ugly. The clothes he wore were placket robes. There is a weapon pinned to his waist that looks like a knife but not a knife, and a sword that looks like a sword but not a sword.
Behind him were four other men, all dressed similarly to the young man's tiptoes, except for the slight difference in the color and pattern of their clothes. The four men were older than the young man at the head, probably in their thirties and forties.
Although these people are not tall, they are very imposing when they walk. They also watched the New Year's goods on the roadside stalls while walking, and from time to time they would ask the price in the blunt official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty.
As soon as Xiao Ding saw these five people, he immediately recognized that they were Song Yinzi's son Tano Shiro, the prince of the Great Fuso Kingdom, and his four samurai subordinates, Nozawa Akiya, Kitamura Khotanfen, Aso Nozuka, and Koizumi Guisun on the day of his accession to the throne.
Before Xiao Ding stepped forward, the five of them had already seen the four beautiful beauties like flowers and jade at this time. So, the four people behind Shiro Tano immediately grinned, their faces were full of obscene pig expressions, and they said: "Your Royal Highness, look, the front bottom, the flower girl is working!" ”
