Chapter 196: Words
The old man sat cross-legged on a yellow pear wooden bed, with a slender and full head of silver hair, a little old, but a pair of eyes that were extremely clear, like a newborn baby. The left and right sides of the bed and the back are respectively equipped with carved fences, but without a bed frame, the fence is mostly made of small wooden tenons and tenons, a lacquered coffee table is placed in the center, and a set of elegant azure tea sets are placed on it.
Wu Xing saluted respectfully, and the old man sat on the couch and returned the half-salute, and then stretched out his hand to signal that he would like to come to the couch.
The old man unhurriedly selected tea, prepared utensils, selected water, made fire, waited for soup, and finally practiced tea, put down the tea cup, and then said: "This guest officer said before that there is a tattoo that he wants to evaluate?"
Wu Xing didn't seem to have waited for at least one pillar of incense just now, and unhurriedly took out the wind pattern device from his waist bag, presented it to the old man with both hands, and said respectfully: "I'm tired of worshiping the old man!"
The old man took a wind pattern in the shape of a ship, suddenly smiled, pointed outside, and then pointed to the tip of his nose, and said, "The one outside is the one who is enshrined here." Old man, my name is 'Neyan'. ”
"A dignified worshipper is dressed like a shopkeeper, not a shopkeeper...... It's really a maverick...... Hmm?" Wu Xing couldn't look at the old man directly, so he could only lower his gaze a little and look at the old man on the other side grinning and revealing the few teeth he had, blinking his eyes, paused, and asked in disbelief: "I heard that the city order of Buqifang is respected by the people of Taishan as 'Nayan'....... The old gentleman's name is Nayan, and this 'Neyan' can't be exactly that 'Neyan', right?"
"It's like a fake. Eh, I can only work harder, old man, and I have to go to various places every year to inspect the shops. When I was in charge of the semicolon, the worship could only be a junior in the outer world. As he spoke, he glanced at the wind pattern device a few times, handed it back to Wu Xing, and said: "The wind is a second-grade pattern, this one is seventy percent new, and it is recommended that you can quote 12,000 to 13,000." ”
"Twelve thousand to thirteen thousand star stones?!" Wu Xing nodded when he saw Ne Yan, and couldn't help but say: "A three-grade 'Forget to Return Arrow', I heard that the estimate is 10,000 star stones...... There is a difference between the two, but the price is not too different!"
Neyan refilled the tea for the two of them, and said casually: "You missed the cost of cleaning up the wind, and at present, the beast masters have a complete monopoly on this branch of the industry. If you are in a hurry to put on the wind and run away, the beast master can give you a quotation of 2,000 star stones, and if you leave the wind at the beast master for an appointment to take it again, the offer can only be 1,000 star stones. ”
"Isn't this a black shop?" Wu Xing muttered: "If you're happy, I'll kill you once, and if you're not happy, I'll kill you twice......"
"Oh! Ne Yan took a sip of hot tea, and then said: "Cleaning up the Wind Pattern is first of all a meticulous job, if you are not in a hurry, a tidal insect can slowly clean up the stains on the wind, and if you are in a hurry, the beast master who takes over the commission will have to transfer the tide worm from other beast masters to cooperate." Since you want to cooperate, you naturally have to share the profits with others. ”
"Tidal insects?" Wu Xing stopped at the teacup in his hand and asked curiously, "What kind of insect is it?"
Neyan's index finger tapped lightly on the side of the coffee table, and he said: "The tidal insect is a very subtle demon beast. There is no consensus on the specific sources. An old friend of mine once had an extremely bold guess that the Tidal Worm was a kind of demon beast bred from jade catkins, a kind of demon beast that was close to the state of the stars, and it should have the racial talent to swim between the stars and tides......"
Glancing at Wu Xing's stunned expression, he smiled and said, "After listening to that unbelievable speculation, I estimate that my expression at that time was similar to what you are now." Boats returning from deep-sea voyages usually have a lot of 'horse teeth' attached to the bottom of the boat, which is a small stone shell, said to be some kind of shell, and often forms dense colonies, and if not cleaned up, the extra weight will slow down the boat considerably. The Wind Pattern is equivalent to a boat sailing on the tides of star power, and those stains are equivalent to those 'horse teeth' at the bottom. ”
"There was a beast master who had received great favor from me, so he secretly gave me this bone whistle, and said that if he could blow it, he could summon the tide worm to come, and this bone whistle would become the new home of the tide worm, and a point of light on the bone whistle would be equivalent to a tide worm, and the number of tide worms could be judged from the number of light points. The stain on the Wind Streak is one of the food for the Tide Worm, and wherever you put it, it will find something to eat nearby. Of course, if you run out of food, the tide bugs will run away from home. Because the tidal insects have the effect of cleaning up the filth produced by the stars and tides, some people call them 'scavengers'. ”
Ne Yan handed Wu Xing a bone whistle similar to the material of black jade, and said, "If you can blow this bone whistle, I will give it to you!"
The size of the bone whistle is not large, the length of the knuckles is the size, but it is not easy to find which end is the whistle for a while. The bone whistle itself is supposed to be a kind of vessel, with delicate ornamentation attached to the surface of the star.
"No merit, no luck! How embarrassing is this!" Wu Xing waved his hand again and again, not daring to take the bone whistle.
Neyan scolded with a smile, and said, "I said let you give it a try, but I didn't say that I would give it to you! Unless you can really blow it, at least you can summon a tidal insect, so that I can open my eyes and see what the tidal insect looks like." ”
"Ahh
"If I knew how to get it, what else would I let you try?" Ne Yan raised his head, drank the tea, and refilled himself with another cup, but this time he didn't care about Wu Xing's empty teacup.
"Then I don't know even more......" Wu Xing muttered, and he didn't dare to argue with Ne Yan, so he had to lower his head in contemplation.
Neyan coughed lightly, and said step by step: "I heard that your "Wisher" exercise has reached the Great Perfection realm? In other words, you've at least seen it, right?"
"Are you practicing the 'Seamless' exercise right now? Is the spinning device in your wrist guard a needle? I heard that the 'Seamless' exercise is the second half of the 'Wisher' exercise. Also, you have been promoted to the Star Envoy, and your Star Soldier ...... Doesn't it look like a star thorn? Hmm, like the straight fishhook you got when you first cultivated?"
