Chapter 116: Nancheng
Half a day later, Wang Yifan and Mu Yan jumped out of the stone cave and turned to "Nancheng" to rest temporarily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This "South City" was originally called "South Ear City", located in the southeast direction of the strange stone ridge, about tens of thousands of miles away from the "West Embankment". It is a small city on the mainland of Jin, but it is rich in a rare medicinal material called "green truffle", so there are many merchants who come and go.
Moreover, due to the frequent exchanges of medicine merchants, this southern city has almost become the main gathering place for the elixir trade of the Jin Kingdom. At the turn of summer and autumn, the elixir trade or potion trade here will attract a large number of merchants.
In the evening of that day, the master and apprentice had just arrived outside the city, but before they had even set foot in the city, they were blocked by countless vendors at the city gate. Each of them pushed a small cart with one or several illuminated jewels on the roof, and a few elixirs scattered on the cart, and they lined up in a long line.
Two of them waited in line and shouted:
"The best 'green truffle' pays ten."
"The best 'green truffle', only nine hundred spirit stones, Tong Su is not bullied."
“...”
Wang Yifan looked sideways, looked at the long line in front of him, seemed to be a little weak, and collapsed: "Alas... Look at this posture, you can't even enter the city after dark. ”
was complaining to himself, only to see the person in front of him suddenly turn around and look at him, and said with a smile: "This son, listening to you, you should be the first time to come to Nancheng, right?" The man had a red face and a thick neck, and although there was no cart beside him, he also had a strong aura of elixir floating on his body, and he sniffed his nose intentionally or unintentionally when he spoke.
Hearing this, Wang Yifan nodded with a light smile and replied: "Exactly, I wanted to spend a night here, but I didn't expect this place to be so lively." ”
The red-faced man laughed when he listened, pointed to the long queue in front of him, and said slowly: "That boy is not at the right time, this month is the 'Elixir Trading Month' in Nancheng, and I am afraid that there will be no vacant rooms in the large and small restaurants and inns in this city, and the streets and markets are crowded with people, and the noise is abnormal." Hugh said that if you live in the city, even if you are a little closer to the outside of the city, it will be difficult to sleep. Look at it, these people in the queue now are all going to catch the Nancheng Night Market, and when the sun sets, the person will have more miles. ”
Speaking of this, the big man rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Eh, Childe, are you interested in this elixir?" ”
Wang Yifan thought for a moment and blurted out, "Eh, it's okay." If it's an uncommon elixir, I'm probably more interested. But if it's common, it might not appeal to me. This... It should be human nature. ”
Hearing this, the red-faced man couldn't stop nodding, "Childe is right, the merchants who come to this southern city basically have this mind, so the chance of buying rare elixirs here is not as good as that of the Northern Medicine City." Although there are no such gatherings there, there are many pharmacists, and the level of elixir is higher than here. Of course, this has nothing to do with the Kim family. ”
As he spoke, he looked left and right, and said again: "I heard that those mothers-in-law of the Jin family have a lot of experience in nurturing and refining medicine. ”
"Mother-in-law..."
Hearing this word, Wang Yifan couldn't help but sneer, and said in his heart: Uncle, uncle, you are really big-hearted.
He shook his head silently, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai, according to what you say, how can there be so many medicine merchants gathered in this southern city, shouldn't they flock to the northern region?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the big man seemed to have expected him to ask like this, and immediately replied: "Childe doesn't know, this eldest lady of the Jin family is in the city at this time, and I heard that she has come to buy some elixir." However, this time, she also brought a lot of spirit flowers from the Northern Regions, as well as potions. So, the big and small pharmacists in the Eastern Continent have basically rushed here. ”
"The eldest lady of the Jin family is also in Nancheng?"
Wang Yifan was stunned when he heard this, he was both surprised and happy in his heart, and unconsciously recalled Jin Jing's face in his mind, but after thinking for a while, he suddenly didn't know how to face it. I have been away from Dongzhou for nearly a year, and I have not had the slightest contact with her during this period, if we meet now, what should I say? And what should be done?
Thinking of this, his mind suddenly became chaotic, and he forgot to speak for a while.
And the red-faced man saw that he looked demented, and said that he was infatuated with Jin Jing, and couldn't help but persuade: "This son, this eldest lady of the Jin family, don't be delusional." I heard that her aunt of the Jin family was a mysterious monk above the seventh order, and he was a genius who was a concentrated alchemist, an intermediate caster, and an intermediate tailor. The gap with us is not a star and a half. ”
After speaking, he didn't forget to sigh and firmly follow the team in front of him.
"Childe, Childe?"
After calling two sentences in a row, Wang Yifan came back to his senses, "Huh? ”
"Keep up, or you won't be able to get in."
"Oh, good..."
He responded casually, without a word.
At that time, Mu Yan, who had never spoken, raised his head and asked, "Master, is this eldest lady of the Jin family very powerful?" ”
"Well, it's amazing." Wang Yifan blurted out when he heard this.
"Can't the master beat her?" Mu Yan frowned, he had never seen the master have such a look, so he was very curious. But I heard Wang Yifan reply like this: "How dare the master beat her, she is your future... Ahem, he's also your uncle. ”
"Huh?"
Mu Yan was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help scratching his head, "Master, since she is my senior uncle, why are you so nervous." ”
As soon as he heard the word "nervous", Wang Yifan couldn't help but glare, and the corners of his mouth trembled and explained to himself: "Who is nervous?" How can the master be nervous, the master is very relaxed now, ahaha... You must be mistaken, I'm not nervous at all! Well, don't be nervous! ”
“...”
Makihiko glanced at it, then slowly looked away, pretending not to hear.
An hour later, the sun was setting and the stars were quietly lit up all around the southern city.
Wang Yifan and Mu Yan's master and apprentice finally managed to squeeze into the city after filming a long queue.
However, the accommodation problem made Wang Yifan a little difficult.
Because there is hardly a place to stay in this southern city, it is impossible to sleep on the streets, unless you sleep in the sky. Of course, the master and apprentice duo with the Ghost Worm and the Tianluo Eight Worm can indeed do this, but it is obviously a little too eye-catching, which is inconsistent with Wang Yifan's consistent "low-key" style.
After thinking about it, Wang Yifan finally inquired about Jin Jing's address and prepared to take a free room and board. Although he was indeed a little nervous, for the sake of the little apprentice Makihiko, it didn't matter if he was embarrassed for a few seconds.
Thinking like this, he suddenly felt a little excited in his heart.
After a while, the master and apprentice squeezed to the door of a restaurant called "Miao Xianju" in the northeast corner of Nancheng, and said to themselves: "This is it!" ”
