Chapter 111: Into the City
Because of the sudden heavy snowfall, the speed of everyone going down the mountain was greatly slowed down, and it was already noon when they reached the bottom of the mountain, but fortunately there was no accident and everyone arrived safely.
"Phew, this heavy snow is coming, the first time I found that the road down the mountain is so difficult, fortunately everyone is safe, red-sleeved girl, frightened, right?"
Ying Zhan put down his red sleeves and said breathlessly.
The little face of the red sleeves was pale, his expression was a little sluggish, his feet were still trembling, and he only shook his head, but he did not answer.
This is due to being overly frightened.
Braving the wind and snow, traveling on such a narrow and steep mountain road, and being held by Yingzhan again, everything of this kind has never been experienced before for Red Sleeves, and it is no wonder that she is frightened.
"Senior Brother Yingzhan has worked hard, but fortunately, Senior Brother Yingzhan has cultivated to a high level, and he can go down the mountain with red sleeves, and if he changes any of us, it won't be so easy. ”
Qin Wuyi also naturally let go of Zhang Yunque and said with a smile.
However, including Ying Zhan, everyone's gaze at Qin Wuyi was a little weird, to be precise, at Qin Wuyi and Zhang Yunque.
The current state of these two people is in stark contrast to Ying Zhan and Red Sleeves, Ying Zhan is so tired that he is out of breath, but Qin Wuyi doesn't seem to have the slightest consumption, Red Sleeves is so frightened that he is weak, but Zhang Yunque has a calm face.
"Senior brothers, don't be surprised, she has cultivated the body method, so it will naturally be easier for me to take her. ”
Qin Wuyi smiled awkwardly and explained.
"You're a cultivator?"
Ying Zhan turned his gaze to Zhang Yunque and asked, his eyes full of suspicion.
The reason is very simple, with Zhang Yunque's current age, if she is a cultivator, then her cultivation will definitely not be higher than Ying Zhan, so it will definitely be within Ying Zhan's perception.
But from beginning to end, Ying Zhan has never had this kind of perception, even if Zhang Yunque is standing in front of her now, in Ying Zhan's perception, Zhang Yunque is still an ordinary little girl.
If Zhang Yunque is really a cultivator, then there is only one possibility, her cultivation is even higher than Yingzhan, and it is much higher.
It was enough for her to completely restrain her breath in order to escape the perception of Ying Zhan, but how could this be?
Faced with Yingzhan's question, Zhang Yunque didn't even have the slightest intention to answer, and didn't even raise his head.
"Senior Brother Yingzhan misunderstood, she is just simply cultivating the body method, and her attainments are not very deep.
She had just mentioned to me that she had met a mysterious old man, who saw that she was pitiful, so he took her as an apprentice and taught her some simple techniques, the original intention was to let her escape when she was in danger.
And the old man said that when the finch is older, he will go to him, if the finch is really talented, then the old man will train the finch to embark on the road of cultivation.
Now that Qi'er has reached the age where she can cultivate, and now that she is safe, she just took advantage of this opportunity to go down the mountain to find the old man.
Therefore, when we arrive in the Western Regions City, the finch will have to act alone. ”
Qin Wuyi's eyes rolled and explained.
Zhang Yunque raised his head and glanced at Qin Wuyi, there was an old-fashioned cunning in his eyes, and it seemed to have some kind of playful mood.
This was the second time that Zhang Yunque had seen Qin Wuyi's ability to talk nonsense with his eyes open, and the last time was when he faced the black pupil and the stone desert in Xishan Village.
"The mysterious old man taught the body method? This is also incredible, in a remote place like Xishan Village, is there any hidden master in the world?"
Ying Zhan asked puzzledly, obviously not believing Qin Wuyi's statement.
And Zhang Yunque's cold performance also made Ying Zhan a little unhappy, so he had to break the casserole and ask to the end.
"There are no wonders in the world, who can say such a thing, isn't there such an example in our Wuji Sect?
Senior Brother Ying Zhan still remembers Zhang Feng? Didn't he just worship a mysterious person as a teacher, and then he learned the loach body method?"
Qin Wuyi said without changing his face.
"Goalkeeper Zhang Feng, the one who was squeezed off the Qi Yun list by Senior Brother Qin Wuyi?
I still remember when you broke his loach body technique, and evolved from it, which made that Zhang Feng suffer a blow.
Later, he simply severed relations with the sect and went down the mountain on his own, and the sect master thought that he had a reason, so he did not pursue it. ”
Ying Zhan recalled.
"It's this person, I think the situation of the finch may be similar to Zhang Feng, although our Western Regions City is remote, but remoteness also has the benefit of remoteness.
At least you can stay away from the strife and troubles of the world, and maybe there will be people from outside the world who occasionally pass by.
Zhang Feng and Qi'er are both poor people, and it is inevitable that people will be moved by compassion, and it is possible to teach a little fur skills casually. ”
Qin Wuyi said.
"That'...... How is this finch girl going to find the mysterious old man?
Can she find it herself?"
Ying Zhan frowned and asked, obviously still not believing it.
"That mysterious old man's cultivation should be extremely high, at least not at a level that we can understand.
I heard the finch say that the mysterious old man had left a thought in her body, as long as the time is ripe, the finch took the initiative to communicate that idea, and the mysterious old man would naturally guide her how to find it, and now the mysterious old man has prompted the finch to go to Xizhou County first. ”
Qin Wuyi said.
"Xizhou County?
It's far away from our Western Regions City, how can a little girl find where to go, why don't we take her there when we have free time?"
Ying Zhan continued to ask.
"No, Senior Brother Yingzhan doesn't know, it is inevitable that the masters in this world will have some strange temperaments.
The mysterious old man was able to perceive the situation around the finch through the thoughts he left in the finch's body, and he asked the finch to go by himself.
On the one hand, I don't want outsiders to participate, and on the other hand, I probably want to test the finch.
I was also very worried about the safety of the finch at first, but since the mysterious old man arranged it like this, he would definitely not let the finch have anything to do, so Senior Brother Yingzhan can rest assured. ”
Qin Wuyi said calmly, he couldn't see the slightest trace of lying, even if he was suspicious, he would believe that it was true at this moment.
"Well, since that's the case, then we don't need to worry about it, we have a personal chance, and it seems that the fortune of the girl is probably not shallow.
After all, this kind of magic is not something that everyone can encounter. ”
Ying Zhan nodded.
Everyone nodded, and their gaze at Zhang Yunque also changed subtly, a little curious and a little envious.
"The snow is getting heavier, so let's keep going, try to get into the city before dark, and don't delay here. ”
Qin Wuyi wasted no time in urging.
"Well, you have to hurry up, then let's go, don't stop at the bottom of the mountain, everyone insists on insisting, and after entering the city and settling down in the evening, we are doing repairs, the red-sleeved girl, the finch girl, you two are okay, right?"
Ying Zhan asked.
"I'm fine, I can hold on. ”
Redsleeves eased up a little and replied weakly.
"It's okay for a finch to be, don't look at her weak body, but her physical strength is very good, let's go, the front is all plains, let's speed up!"
Qin Wuyi ordered.
"Okay, speed up!"
Everyone agreed, and without hesitation, they ran wildly in the snowstorm.
It was originally the middle of winter, and there was a heavy snowstorm, and the sky was dark very early, but fortunately, under the hurried efforts of everyone, they still passed through the gate of the Western Regions City smoothly at the time.
The Western Regions City is an ancient city, because of its remote location, it has rarely been affected by turmoil, and its social form is relatively stable, and it has hardly suffered any excessive damage.
The overall style of the castle is simple and heavy, with a sense of atmosphere and desolation peculiar to the west, and most of the buildings are made of huge stones, and wooden structures are also common, without overly elaborate carving, highlighting practicality and durability.
In addition, there are the ubiquitous animal skins, such as the curtains of the shops lining the streets, the flags, and the tarpaulins that cover the goods.
All of them are made of large and small animal skins, and it is the middle of winter, and most of the clothes people wear are made of fur.
Due to the heavy snowstorm weather, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally people pass by with their necks hunched and hurried.
After the ordinary shops are closed, there are few lanterns hanging outside the door, only some large shops and high-rise buildings are still hanging high at this time, and the inside of the house is even brighter and transparent, and there are figures flickering from time to time, which also guides Qin Wuyi and others.
In the center of the Western Regions City slightly north of the place, there is a three-storey white pavilion, covering a large area, the eaves are flowing, the plaque is bright, here is the destination of everyone's trip, the Wuji Sect Auction House.
Standing in front of the tall and magnificent auction hall, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and finally arrived at the place, at least they could go in and rest their feet.
Qin Wuyi took the first step to open the thick door curtain, and everyone entered in turn, a hot air rushed to their faces, and the cold wind and the biting snow outside were completely two worlds.
"Yo, there are guests coming to the door on such a cold day, please come to your guests. ”
The hall on the first floor was empty, and a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties was just about to close the door and lock it, and said with a slight smile.
If it weren't for the matter, no one would run to the auction house in this weather.
"I'm looking for your shopkeeper Tong Huai. ”
Qin Wuyi said.
"Looking for a shopkeeper?
If you have anything to do, you can also tell me first, and if necessary, I will naturally inform the shopkeeper Tong. ”
The middle-aged man said with a constant smile on his face.
Almost everyone who comes to this auction house to do business wants to have a direct conversation with the shopkeeper, but where is the shopkeeper so easy to see.
If it is a guest who has to be personally received by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper is too worthless, and everything must be done by the shopkeeper himself, which is not the way of business.
"Let Tong Huai come out to greet him, that is, the sect sent an envoy to come. ”
Qin Wuyi didn't bother to explain more to this middle-aged man, so he directly took out the sect master's order and said.
