Chapter 22: The Tomb of Heroes, a Treasure from Ancient Times
Mu Shengbai thought that Senior Brother Shengyun had mentioned that showing his face when he went out was equivalent to sticking a talisman on himself, after all, the people outside were not as good as the people in the villa, and the hearts of the people were separated from the belly, so it was better to be safe. So that night he stuffed a few human skin masks that he used outside, according to him, they were given by a leather mask master he met when he went out to exercise, and few people in the world could see through them.
He took out a purple jar from his baggage, and there were a few human skin masks given by Mu Shengyun in it.
After a while, a teenager with an ordinary face appeared, Mu Shengbai touched his face, there was no discomfort with a foreign body at all, he took a photo by the lake, he only felt very novel, and he was very satisfied, the only deficiency was that the difference between the skin on his face and neck was very obvious.
Mu Shengbai took a look at the soil by the lake, pinched a piece and applied it to his neck, and he changed into a more ordinary clothes, after all, with the status of the rivers and lakes of Liuyun Villa, Mu Shengbai has always eaten and dressed very well, and the clothes he wears are also of the highest quality. But what he wants to pretend to be now is a teenager with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary family background, and he can't dress too well.
The only relatively ordinary shirt in the baggage was also stuffed into Senior Brother Shengyun, who had more experience when he was out of the house.
On some lively streets, there was a teenager who was left in the crowd and couldn't get a little wind and waves, the only thing that caught people's attention on his body was that pair of bright eyes like pearl glass, and then looked at that very ordinary appearance, many people couldn't help but sigh that they were really blind with such a pair of good-looking eyes.
Mu Shengbai didn't mind other people's eyes at all, and grabbed a merchant who happened to pass by him with a turban, a beard, and a variety of colorful silk scarves in his hands.
"This uncle, I'm here from another city to play, I don't know if you know how to get to Jinling City?"
The businessman's fox-like eyes swept over Mu Shengbai, and saw that this young man was not rich, he looked a little disappointed, shook off his hand, and said impatiently: "What Jinling City, I don't know, go ask others, don't block me from doing business." β
"How much does your silk scarf cost, I'll buy a few."
There was a glimmer of light in Mu Shengbai's eyes, and he said decisively.
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, let alone people. Hearing Mu Shengbai's very arrogant words, the businessman's face smiled, and his tone softened a lot, "It's not expensive, the small ones are all the business of our ordinary people, how can you charge more money." You see, I sell others for ten cents for this silk scarf, and I sell you ten pieces for only ninety yuan. β
A silk scarf doesn't cost more than ten cents a piece, and this person clearly wants to pit Mu Shengbai because of his young age. Although Mu Shengbai didn't know much about the concept of Yin Liang, he knew by looking at his expression that he was tricking him, and he took out fifty wen from his arms.
"That's all I have, see if you want it or not."
The businessman's eyes lit up when he saw the money in Mu Shengbai's hand, like a wolf who saw food, and hurriedly stuffed ten silk scarves into him, took the money, and put the baby silk into his arms, looking at Mu Shengbai's eyes as if he saw a rich man, and his eyes disappeared with a smile.
"This little young master, you are asking the right person this time, who here doesn't know that I, Zhao Lao Er, have been traveling south and north for so many years, and there is no place I don't know. Even the elementary school of Yidan has been thereβ"
He looked like he was about to make a long speech, Mu Shengbai hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, "Uncle, I just want to ask about the way to Jinling City, it's useless for me to say so much." β
The merchant shut up stupidly, unsatisfied, but then excited.
"Presumably, young master, you are also here for the treasure there."
"Huh? What treasure? Mu Shengbai was a little puzzled, and the merchant was also very surprised that he didn't even know this, and then talked to him carefully.
"Little young master, don't you know, now Jinling City is a more lively place than our Kunguo Imperial Capital, and there are countless heroes from all walks of life who are looking at it, all because I don't know who exposed that Jinling City has a big treasure of the former Emperor Duan, you must know that the Dull Emperor is a person who does nothing but do anything other than loot the people's fat and people's ointment and collect beautiful women, so you can imagine how rich his treasure should be. So as soon as this news came out, it made this Kunguo explode, and that scene, even if I went to so many places, it was the first time I saw it. But two years later, they all returned empty-handed, and some people felt that the news was just for fun of them, so they gave up. However, there are still some people who are still there, and there are not a few of them, so Jinling City is still extremely lively. If it's not that he is small and has no ability, he has to support a few members of his family, but he also wants to see and see. β
After speaking, he showed a look of regret, Mu Shengbai was thoughtful after listening to it, and just wanted to go to Jinling City quickly.
After thanking the merchant, he left.
Walking until night, the sky was dotted with a bright moon and a few sparse stars, no matter how good Mu Shengbai's martial arts were, he was a little tired at the moment, so he thought about finding a vacant place in the woods to live and rest for a night, and then set off tomorrow.
He tidied up a clean place under a towering tree, laid out a garment, and set up a fire by drilling wood for a fire. At this time, it was the first time he spent the night outside, and it was the first time to deal with these things, which had always been done by the senior brothers before, so he was a little hurried at first, but when he saw the small flames coming out, he was very proud. I just wanted to turn around and show off to my brothers, but I found that there was no one behind me, only the endless darkness and the cries of unknown animals in my ears, and my heart was suddenly empty.
Mu Shengbai lay on his clothes, looking at the starry sky, thinking of his senior brother and master who were far away in Liuyun Villa, and his mood suddenly became low.
I miss you.
"Help." A cry for help came from not far away, and Mu Shengbai suddenly sat up vigilantly, picked up his light skills and flew over the place where the sound came from.
In a bush, Mu Shengbai saw a dying man covered in blood lying there, his mouth slightly open, and the cry for help came from his mouth.
He must have found Mu Shengbai's traces, and tried his best to keep his eyes open and look at him, the cry for help increased, and Mu Shengbai would go over to rescue him if he didn't think about it.
