Chapter 40: Parchment Volume 1
After everything was arranged, Youfeng took Qiao'er, Qin Lei, and the three of them from Yuanyuan, and drove the carriage to Gan Town, the first border pass in Xixue.
This trip to the far door, Dad is very relieved, Qiao'er and the three of them, they have already passed the most basic enlightenment period, and have entered the tenth order of foundation building, there are few people in this world who can compete with them, and under her will, they also have a lot of appeal in the rivers and lakes, there is no need to worry at all.
The level of cultivation is divided into entry-type enlightenment, foundation building, half-step Jindan, Jindan, Gathering Spirit Yuanying, and there are more advanced existences behind, but the wind can't cultivate, so I don't pay much attention to these.
Each stage is divided into the peak period of the front, middle and back, and each stage consumes countless amounts of time and spiritual power, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes, and sometimes you can't advance a little even for a few years.
She knew from Master Han Lash that most people in the world could not cultivate, some of these people became martial artists, that is, ordinary people, and some became mages, qi masters, refiners, in layman's terms, that is, people who exercised metal and then processed them into various living objects, such people were also highly sought after and respected, because they mastered the smelting technology of this world's pitiful baba.
A person who can cultivate and is so lucky that he goes against the heavens, if he has both the five elements of fire and wood, he may become an alchemist sought after by everyone.
However, it is because the biggest threshold for becoming an alchemist is spiritual power, so in a place like Yuntian Continent, where there are very few cultivators, there are almost no alchemists, but there are countless doctors!
Youfeng felt very powerless, he was criticized as worthless by Master Han Eyelashes, and he couldn't do anything.
Martial artists, qi masters, and refiners can basically be done by everyone, but she can't!
Of course, the alchemist is even more impossible, after all, she can't cultivate, it's also in vain!
Asked the reason, she didn't know, fortunately the father asked his old friend Master Sumen to teach her the number of tricks and formations, so she learned well, two years ago Master Sumen had nothing to teach her, waved her sleeves, did not wait for the father to come back, just like when he came quietly left.
learned something, and then under his own special arrangement, accidentally, his reputation in the rivers and lakes spread, and it is said to be very prosperous!
For this reason, she was a little proud, who said that she was useless, three hundred and sixty lines, she was the champion in her line, what if she couldn't cultivate, she was born with an extremely high talent for the law organs!
Although I don't know why Qimen arithmetic can't be learned well, sooner or later she will be able to do this short item! However, when she complained to her dad about this, she couldn't understand why he said 'he will try'.
This arithmetic is obviously learning from her, this sentence should be her, right? I can't understand why my dad keeps saying something specious, as if it's his responsibility that she can't learn well.
Xixue's border pass is adjacent to Lingyue Kingdom, one of the three major powers, where the products are abundant, rich in rice and grain, and it is the gateway granary of Xixue, but the grain produced will not be hoarded here.
This place is also one of the largest ports for the circulation of import and export materials in the three major countries, there are many merchants and visitors, but there are not a few rich and noble families who have settled here, although there has been no war for more than ten years, this dangerous border city, when it has friction with Ling Yueguo, especially in recent years, but anyone who has a little brain, will not be stupid enough to settle here.
However, this fool can be counted as a gold ingot. Because her father told her that the gold ingots are here for most of the year.
Wouldn't he die when he fought more money? The wind just couldn't figure it out. While inquiring about the gold ingot, there is an extra piece of old information about the cold eyelash master, maybe she can guess why the gold ingot has settled here at great risk!
Although Gan Hu Town is a border city, there are many inns and tea houses, high atmosphere, and the prosperity and liveliness are directly chasing the royal capital Jiacheng, but there are fewer hawkers selling along the street, more patrolling soldiers walking by, and more slaughtering atmosphere!
There are also a lot of goods shipped from other countries, including silk, tea, utensils, salt, grain, and many strange things that have never been seen.
Sitting in the carriage, I looked at it all the way curiously, and my heart was full of sighs, who said that the ancients had bad brains, this is obviously very smart. Look, this hand of business and foreign trade, how spectacular it is, so that people from the new era envy her!
After the bustling area of the dry town, it is slightly desolate when it reaches the gate closest to the enemy country.
Looking around, the passers-by are in a hurry with their burdens, it should be a place where there are as many people as a cow's hair like the customs, but there are not many people, it is worthy of being one of the three major border gates closest to the enemy country, and it is really heavily guarded!
I looked around, but I found a special case. The little old man who is alone in the corner of the wall is particularly eye-catching in this barren area.
There were knick-knacks piled up on the stalls, and the wind was drawn to what was in front of her.
In this dangerous border city, there are really people who dare to set up stalls here, it is too long There are many patrols around the city of Mingming, and the soldiers wearing armor and cold and indifferent faces are not stopped.
Looking back at the trinkets on the stall, there were a few parchment rolls on the long brown cloth, exuding the smell of drowsiness, each the size of a pot floor, surrounded by haggard grass beads, woven into a net with thin and tough sheep intestines, the simplicity of which revealed an unpredictable ethereal, and most of the flower rolls were written with colorful charms of various scriptures.
The only exception was the wooden tassels hanging around it, and the thin sheepskin was straightened heavily. The parchment roll is divided into two sides, one side dyed royal blue, a strange-looking villain dancing with his hands, happily almost falling on his heels, and the other side is painted with an uneven pitch-black background, as if it is smeared with the ash of a century-old stove, and a few words are drawn on it with some kind of mineral powder, crookedly and twisted to piece it together, much like Japanese characters.
"Old man, how can I sell this painting?" Youfeng stepped forward and asked, daring to set up a stall here, he must have his ability.
The old man's gaze was bottomless under the sparse eyelashes, like Xiao Tan filled with sand powder.
Suddenly opened his mouth and smiled, revealing his white teeth, "A copper plate!" ”
"Childe?" Qiao'er said in a low voice, I don't know why Miss fell in love with a strange painting, and this painting seller is even stranger.
A copper plate? Qin Lei couldn't help but hold on to his forehead, why do people on the rivers and lakes have some quirks? A copper plate, it's better to give it away!
Yuanyuan handed over an ingot of five taels of silver, and said, "Don't look for it!" ”
When he was about to get it, Youfeng suddenly noticed that the old man's eyes had changed, becoming deep and unfathomable, and he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "The old man is talking about a copper plate?" ”
