When he went up to the official road, Chen Tang walked towards Taiyue City, Chen Tang thought to himself, when he arrived at Taiyue City, he would first get a knife to defend himself, and then inquire about where there were those who sold exercises. A hundred miles away, Chen Tang walked for more than half a day, it was already evening, crossed a hillside, Chen Tang saw the gray city wall shrouded in the sunset in the distance lying in front, stretching for a hundred miles, Chen Tang did not enter the city, but found a flat place to rest nearby, lit a bonfire, ate some dry food and dry meat, picked up a half-burned wood, wiped the black charcoal on it with his hand, and then wiped it on his face, Chen Tang thought, this time I can't see the red spots. Then he fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, Chen Tang tidied up, put on newer clothes, and walked towards Taiyue City.

To enter Taiyue City, you need to pay a penny of silver, Chen Tang in addition to the twenty taels given to him by Chen Yu, there are also some scattered pieces of silver that sell medicinal materials, and he took out a penny to pay the entrance fee, and he was distressed.

Entering the city gate, looking up, Taiyue City is very lively, there are shops on both sides, selling rice and noodles, selling cloth and satin, selling rouge and gouache, selling farm tools, selling knives, guns and sticks, everything, Chen Tang came to the big city of this world for the first time, it is very novel, take a look everywhere.

The lively street was very long, and Chen Tang saw the face of a famous Lin inn and walked in to rest.

The innkeeper saw a half-grown child come in, with a dark face and shabby clothes, and greeted him and shouted: "Hey, are you begging for food? This is not a hotel, go elsewhere for begging." ”

"Well, I'm staying at the hotel. Chen Tang replied.

"Staying in the hotel?" Xiao Er was puzzled, the half-grown child came to the hotel alone, and he hadn't seen it yet.

Chen Tang was helpless, took out the silver, just like the original world, he had to use money to speak everywhere.

When Xiao Er saw Yinzi, he immediately greeted him with a smile and found a room for Chen Tang to live in.

Chen Tang entered the room and asked Xiao Er, "Where do you go to eat when you are hungry?"

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "There is food in the store, just ask what the little brother wants." ”

"Then you can bring me a meal. ”

Xiao Er reported the amount of silver, and Chen Tang gave it to him, but the accommodation and meals were not expensive, and the total was only about half a penny.

Fortunately, Chen Yu gave twenty taels, otherwise in order to save, he would have to live on the streets, Chen Tang thought. I can't help but be grateful for this murderer who killed him once.

After eating, Chen Tang saw that it was already noon, cleaned up and went out, he was going to go shopping in the bookstore, weapons, one was to see if there were any exercises behind the Qi Trick, one was to buy a map, and the other was to buy a knife or sword for self-defense.

Entering the street with shops on both sides, I found a bookstore and stepped in, and the shopkeeper saw this swarthy half-sized man, who was strange but didn't say anything else.

"What books do you need?"

"Are there any books on cultivation?"

"Yes, yes, on the guest officer's side, there are qi induction techniques, hidden weapons, knife techniques, sword techniques, stick techniques, a lot. "The shop was welcoming.

"Oh, is there an exercise after the qi induction period?" Chen Tang saw the qi induction technique, the same as the one in his hand, and thought that this kind of exercise should be very common.

"Yes. The shopkeeper said.

"How much silver?"

"Two hundred taels. ”

Chen Tang was taken aback, how could his heart be so expensive.

The shopkeeper was surprised to see Chen Tang and said: "Generally, the sect has its own cultivation method, and there are not many of them in the world, even if it is circulated, no one dares to print and sell it, and the masters who can cultivate to the Qi Condensation Period will naturally be recruited by the sect, so there are few people who buy the Qi Condensation Technique." Qi induction recipe is relatively common, so it is cheap, five taels of silver. ”

Chen Tang was speechless, it's just a book, it costs two hundred taels of silver, if I buy it and copy it and sell it myself, won't one hundred taels and sell two copies and come back?

Chen Tang was speechless, it's just a book, it costs two hundred taels of silver, if I buy it and copy it and sell it myself, won't one hundred taels and sell two copies and come back?

"This kind of high-level exercise cheats are all one-time, printed in the mind and the handwriting will dissipate, and then it is possible to write silently, but the accompanying pictures, acupuncture points, and running diagrams must not be accurately drawn, and no one dares to take the risk of practicing what others write silently. The shopkeeper seemed to see what Chen Tang was thinking.

Chen Tang asked helplessly: "Is there a map?"

"Yes, the map of Jiuyang County is one tael of silver, and the map of Taiyue City and its subordinate jurisdiction is two taels of silver. The shopkeeper's answer surprised Chen Tang again, is a map so expensive?

"Is there a map of the entire continent?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper glanced at Chen Tang up and down strangely, and replied, "No, if there is, you can't buy it for a thousand taels of silver." Even the map of Wanyue Prefecture is incomplete, and it costs 100 taels of silver. ”

Chen Tang was dumbfounded, beyond imagination, but also helpless, this world is at this price, so he can only grit his teeth and take a tael of silver to buy a map of Jiuyang County.

Taking the map and stuffing it into his chest, Chen Tang went out of the bookstore, and looked for the weapon shop, and after a while, he saw a weapon shop called Shangwu, and when he entered the store, there was a circle of cabinets inside, which were full of all kinds of weapons, knives, forks, sticks, guns, etc. I heard the sound of clanging in the back, it should be the front store and the back factory.

There was no one in the store, and Chen Tang exclaimed, "Shop." A man with five big and three thick muscles came in from the backyard, "What weapon does the guest officer want to buy?" The shopkeeper was not surprised to see Chen Tang, they often saw strange-looking people, Chen Tang just had a dark face, and he was not surprised.

"I want a sword, I need a lighter one. "Chen Tang thought about it, it should be very majestic to use his divine sense to control a few swords to make a sword formation, but now that his skills are slight, he can only buy a lighter one.

The shopkeeper took a sword casually, flicked the sword body, jingled twice, and the voice was melodious, "This sword is called Qingquan Sword, it is ordered by Xiyuemen for the disciples of the pneumatic period under the door, a total of five hundred, this is the rest, if the little brother thinks it is okay, sell it to you cheaply, two thousand taels." ”

After being frightened by the bookstore, Chen Tang was slightly immune to the high price, but he was also stunned again. After calming down, Chen Tang arched his hand and asked: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry to ask a question, I see that many things in the market are not expensive, but why are maps, exercises, and swords so expensive?"

The shopkeeper was a simple man, and he didn't despise Chen Tang, and said with a smile: " It seems that the little brother has just started to cultivate, and he doesn't know what is going on, the little brother said that these common people can't use them, only the monks can use them, and the things used by the monks can't be used by the people, such as this sword, which is made of the best steel mother, after hundreds of processes, the wood of this sword handle is made of iron and wood, where can ordinary people use it, only monks can use it, and the monks are very rich, and they don't use silver to trade, but use spirit stones, an inferior spirit stone is worth 10,000 taels of silver, as far as Xiyuemen is concerned, the most inferior servants also have two or three inferior spirit stones。 ”
