Wang Xu has lived a fulfilling life every day since he came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty! Teases the silly and cute Xiaoling every day, and when he sees Xiaoling's shy and annoyed cousin, Wang Xu feels happy from the bottom of his heart! Occasionally tell Yang Wu historical allusions, take the opportunity to instill some theories and insights of later generations, and help Yang Wu broaden his horizons!

Time flies! On this day, when Wang Xu greeted his parents, Father Yang said: "The pheasant grows so fast!" I'm going to be doing your hair in a few days! After a while, you and Xiaoling will go to the county to buy something with Tianke Han! Buy some more cloth! In the past few years, the family has not helped you buy new clothes, and after the cloth is bought, let your mother help you make it before the hair binding ceremony! When it's time to wear new clothes and hold a hair tie ceremony! When the time comes, I'll help you choose a table word, and I won't call you by your nickname anymore......"

Wang Xu has never been to the market! After listening to Father Yang's words, I couldn't help but look forward to what the market was like thousands of years ago! After breakfast, he urged Xiaoling and Tianke Han to pack up their things, and hurriedly drove the ox cart [Note 1]! Hurry up to the county.

Wang Xu sat in the car, breathing in the fresh air! Looking outside the car, there is no pollution of the original wild color! Comfortable and want to moan! But the little spirit on the side didn't look so happy! Hold the package on your chest tightly, as if a thief will appear in the car at any time and snatch the package in your hand! Because the package contained the money given by Yang's mother before leaving. Wang Xu saw Xiao Ling's nervous appearance and comforted: "Don't worry too much, how can there be so many thieves in Lin'an County!" Even if there is! How could such a large package be stolen! Unless it is a group of robbers who have jumped out to rob now, but how can there really be such a gang of robbers to rob such a shabby ox cart! Xiao Ling heard this, but said with a straight face: "Xiao Langjun said lightly, what is here is the money to buy new clothes for Xiao Langjun, if I lose it!" Madame will definitely scold me! Maybe I won't serve Xiao Langjun anymore in the future! ”

When Wang Xu heard Xiao Ling say this, he had no choice but to squeeze the girl's hand to express his affirmation.

The group finally came to the east gate of Lin'an Market at the slow speed of the old scalper, Wang Xu lifted the curtain and looked, only to see people coming and going on the street! It's noisy! The streets are lined with stalls of all sizes! There are also a small number of small shops in the residential area!

During the Jin and Jin dynasties, the markets were concentrated in a few lifang in the city (the imperial court divided the residential areas of the city into pieces in order to strengthen control, and there were streets and alleys inside. Such a square is called Lifang), and the imperial court also sent special people to manage the market! The court will also open and close the doors of the market according to the time! Of course, there is an official market, and naturally there is a grass market! Most of the grass markets are set up outside the city or in the suburbs! This official market has not been closed yet, Wang Xu and his party naturally went to the official market to buy things!

In fact, a few years ago, the markets in Yangzhou counties were not so hot! Because the Chinese nation started from the two river basins! During the pre-Qin period and the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, the cultural, political, and economic centers of Kyushu in the Central Plains have always been the Guanzhong region and Luoyang, Henan, and other places! During the Han Dynasty, the population of Jiangnan and other places accounted for two-tenths of the total population! Until the end of Yongjia, the northern scholars crossed to the south in their clothes, bringing advanced farming technology and materials to the south of the Yangtze River, so that the southerners got rid of the backward technology of slash and burn! Only then has the living standards in Jiangnan improved rapidly!

Sure enough, whether it was thousands of years ago or after, shopping with a woman is the most terrifying thing! After shopping for half an hour, Xiao Ling was still interested in continuing to choose and watch! Wang Xu and Tian Ke Han kept complaining that they wanted to rest for a while! Xiao Ling didn't care about pulling Wang Xu to leave, but Han had to bow his head and follow! Suddenly, a man was heard shouting.

"Have you heard? There is a Taoist real person outside the city! ”

"Haha, it's still a Taoist real person! Isn't he just a Taoist priest! It's worth the fuss! Although Lin'an County is not big, it is not that there have never been Taoist priests! ”

"It's not! No! This time it's really a real person who knows how to do immortal law! ”

"Ahh Return the immortal law! Didn't you hear Sage Kong say 'silent strange power and confusion'? You dare to add fuel and vinegar to the touts of hearsay! ”

"Oops! Ma Erleprosy! Don't chew words with me! I've heard that the real person can make the embroidery needle float on the water and not fall down! If you can do it! I'll set up a shrine for you! Available to you every day! ”

"No, it's not true, is it? The embroidery needle is made of iron, how can it float on the water? There must be something wrong with the embroidery needle! The needle must be wooden! ”

"You think you're the smartest in the world! A few days ago, there was also a young man who suspected that there was a problem with the embroidery needle! Go and check the embroidery needles in front of dozens of people! And guess what!? The young man pricked a needle in his finger, and the blood came out! That needle is no problem at all! It's a real person who really has an immortal law! ”

"If that's the case! So what are we doing here? Hurry up and get out of town! Ask for a fairy talisman! Flush and drink water for half a lifetime and you won't have to worry about getting sick! ”

"Okay, you are the one who doesn't believe in the fairy law, and ......you are the one who runs the fastest!"

After the two finished speaking, they walked quickly outside the city, Wang Xu looked at the backs of the two, and said secretly: "How can there be an immortal law!" It's just a trick to cheat people out of money! ”

But Xiao Ling didn't think so when he heard it, and pulled Wang Xu to go out of the city! Talk as you go; "Let's also go ask for a few fairy talismans and go back to flush water and drink! In the future, Xiao Langjun will not be as seriously ill as last time! ”

Wang Xu is also not good at refusing the girl's kindness! Let him pull him and walk out of the city. Just spend money to buy a lively look!

As soon as the group came out of the city gate, they saw a group of people gathered together, pointing with their fingers, and whispering about the two Taoist priests in the middle! I saw one of the old men, with white eyebrows and white beard, a thin figure, long clothes and wide sleeves, holding a peachwood sword in one hand, and holding a trick that everyone couldn't understand in the other! From afar, it is really a man of God! Presumably this is the legendary real person! However, the young Taoist next to the old Taoist is more than one grade behind the old Taoist, and he should be the apprentice of the old Taoist!

"Lao Dao, when I was ten years old, I went up the mountain to collect firewood and met an immortal ......" Lao Dao stood in the field and kept boasting and selling! Everyone listened excitedly, as if the old Tao in the story was themselves! Wang Xu secretly said that it was boring! But he turned his head to observe the crowd around him!

"I've been studying hard for decades, and today I'm finally successful! The master asked me to go down the mountain to do good deeds and help the poor in the world......" The old Taoist suddenly raised his voice. Pulled back everyone's thoughts. Let's get down to business!

Outside the bustling city gate, an ox cart suddenly came out, and the ox cart slowly stopped outside the crowd. It should be that the owner of the ox cart couldn't help but get out of the car when he heard the old 'speech' and took a look! Coincidentally, Wang Xu's head turned to the direction of the ox cart, and he saw a man in his forties and fifties walking down from the ox cart, wearing a white scarf, covered by a crane, with black hair and long beard, and gestures. A strong scholarly atmosphere! Wang Xu couldn't help but praise: "There is poetry and books in the belly!" ”

"Lao Dao, I will show my father and fellow villagers today a hand of the immortal method of 'floating needle on the water surface'! So that everyone can believe that I am not a traitor who cheats people out of money! After saying that, the old way is full of words! It seems to be mobilizing divine power! Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young Taoist priest brought a basin of water and an embroidery needle, and bowed down!

After the old Taoist finished reciting the incantation, he turned around and waved three times to the east! stepped forward and picked up the embroidery needle with a respectful face and made some strange movements! Then he put the needle in the basin of water! I bowed down and took a few steps back!

"It's really floating! Immortal law! What a disciple of the immortals!! "The one at the front, the closest, the clearest! I couldn't help but scream! The crowd surged! It took a long time to calm down! All of them are looking at the old Taoist with a pious face!

The old Taoist sees that the effect is achieved! You have to collect the net to cheat money! opened his mouth and said: "In the spirit of mercy, I spent my immortal power to draw dozens of evil talismans!" Drink this evil charm with water! Ensure that evil spirits, filthy miasma, etc. do not invade the body! This evil charm is not expensive! Ten dollars a piece! ”

When everyone heard that this evil talisman had such a miraculous effect, they all wanted to pay for it! Listen to someone's shout!

"Wait!"

[Note 1] During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the two Han Dynasty relics were inherited! Most of the common people and officials go out in ox carts
