Chapter 5: Strange Stories
Today is Saturday, Ma Feifei went out early in the morning, with dozens of gold coins and eight spirit crystals on his body, he wanted to carry more, but there was no way, spirit crystals did not.
Gold coins, I can't hold them.
You can't take a sack to resist!
Besides, this society is so dangerous, and the people on the street are all kinds of strange, I wonder if you pull out one of them is a spirit master or spirit sect; if someone finds out about a sack of money, I won't rob you!
But this is Ma Feifei thinking too much, for cultivators, gold coins are not very important, not to mention a sack of gold coins, even ten sacks of gold coins, people will not rob you; of course, if it is a sack of spirit crystals, Ma Feifei will wait to be bombarded into slag.
Watanabe was the northernmost town of the Great Chu Empire, bordering the Great Qin Empire. In a border town like this, there are generally more outsiders, and there are all kinds of people.
Because of this, although Watanabe Town is a small town, the degree of prosperity is still very high, and the degree of liveliness is even higher than that of ordinary cities.
Of course, in a place like this, there is no guarantee of safety or anything.
They all rely on their own strength to protect their own safety. There are also escorts in the town, but in fact they don't have much effect; it's a big deal to run north after killing people, which is the territory of Great Qin, and the laws of Great Chu can't control it.
Especially in recent years, there has been constant friction between Dachu and Daqin, and Watanabe Town has become even more chaotic.
It's chaotic, but most of the time the town is quite harmonious, and no one is idle.
You must know that in such a mixed place, maybe the beggar on the street who asks for food is a cultivator.
Generally speaking, the security of Watanabe Town does not depend on the guards, but on self-discipline.
Ma Feifei was new to the city, and he really didn't know about it.
He only knew that it was very lively, and people came and went.
Walking down the street, you will stare at the fox man with the tail, the dwarf who is no more than a meter tall, and the strange spirit beasts.
In this world, everything has a spirit.
And, all things coexist!
Ma Feifei is really amazed by this world.
Ma Feifei came out today with two main goals, one is to visit Watanabe Town and feel the customs of another world, and the other is to understand what this world is like.
As we all know, the best place to hear is in the tavern. This is a paradise for adventurers, where you can hear a lot of interesting stories and get to know the world closer.
As a small town in the border area, it not only borders Daqin in the north, but also borders the Jiuzhong Mountain in the west, and is one of the five adventure places in the Canglong Continent.
Spirit animals, rare and exotic plants, there is everything here.
From the west, through the Nine Mountains, you will arrive at the Zhao Kingdom. Fifteen hundred years ago, the state of Chu mobilized the national power of the entire state of Chu and opened up a silk road from the state of Chu to the state of Zhao, which was in the Jiuzhong Mountain, which was also the only road from the state of Chu to the state of Zhao.
Of course, if you can fly, that's another story.
Therefore, among the five empires, the relationship between Chu and Zhao is undoubtedly the best, because the two countries do not have any land to border at all except for this 'Silk Road'.
The so-called 'Silk Road' has now become a sacred place for merchants from Chu and Zhao, which indirectly led to Watanabe Town becoming the first foothold for Zhao merchants after passing through the Jiuju Mountain.
The world, adventurers and merchants, are the most knowledgeable people.
And the favorite places for these people to go are taverns and fireworks places.
It is impossible for Ma Feifei to go to the latter, and it is impossible to go in this life.
The only place you can go is the tavern.
The most popular shop in Watanabe Town is the tavern.
It's almost a mile walk to a tavern, but for a full run, it's best to go to the biggest tavern.
Watanabe's largest tavern is called 'Adventure Paradise', and the reason why it has become so big is that it is right opposite the largest trading market in Watanabe Town.
Adventurers have obtained rare and exotic grasses and spirit beasts from the Kuju Mountain, and they will all come here to trade and get what they want.
After the transaction, the first time it was definitely relaxed, chic, and chic, so the 'Adventure Paradise' tavern opposite and the largest 'Yihong Mansion' in Watanabe Town diagonally opposite were their best choices.
Adventure Paradise is located in the heart of Watanabe Town, and Ma Feifei walked all the way to the tavern at about 2 p.m. Perhaps because of the recent friction between Qin and Chu, many adventurers stayed in Watanabe Town and did not go out, waiting for this sensitive period to pass.
After all, 100,000 miles away, Daqin's 200,000 soldiers and horses sharpened their knives, and Dachu's side also stationed 150,000 soldiers outside Watanabe Town.
Adventurers and merchants were still more or less affected.
Ma Feifei ordered a pot of fine 'February River' and a pound of beef, found a corner and sat down, drinking the world's fine wine, eating beef, and listening to the adventurers in the tavern tell those new things.
"Have you heard, King Yan sat down and ascended the throne last month It was the second prince Yan Xun, and the crown prince Yan was deposed. ”
"I heard that it was the last call of King Yan before he died, and Yuwen Hongdu, the prime minister of Yan State, and Sima Wuji, the sage of Yan, both admitted it, and Prince Yan could only drink hatred. ”
"It's a pity that Prince Yan, I heard that he is the proud son of the Son of Heaven and is deeply loved by the people of Yan Kingdom. ”
"Tsk, who made Yan Sheng the master of the second prince and the national teacher Yu Wenhong his father-in-law. Even if Prince Yan is supported by the people of Yan again, it will be useless. ”
This is the topic of conversation with the previous friends.
Yan is too far away from Chu State, still above Qin State, and does not have a border with Chu State, Ma Feifei only knows that Yan Country is an extremely cold place, with only two seasons a year, summer and winter.
What's even more interesting is that out of the 365 days in a year, only 65 days are summer and 300 days are winter. Why is it so clear? Because those 300 days were either snowing or snowing, and you can't even understand it.
"What an amazing country, I hope to see it for myself one day. ”
For Ma Feifei, when he came to this magical world, his biggest dream was not to practice, but to go out and see, after all, this world is so magical and so big.
"Two days ago, a sixth-level spirit beast appeared on the periphery of Jiuzhong Mountain, and he killed people when he saw them, and I heard that many people died. ”
"Sixth-level spirit beasts! Those can only be encountered after crossing the triple mountain! ”
This is the topic of conversation among the friends on the left.
Kuju Mountain is one of the five adventure sites of the dragon, and unlike other adventure places, Kuju Mountain is famous for its peaks. It is actually a bit reluctant to say that it is a mountain, because except for the fact that the ninth mountain is a peak, the rest is derived outward around the ninth mountain, and the layer is wrapped layer by layer. It's just that the elevation of each lower layer of the mountain will be lower, and the area is more extensive, only because the nine mountains are clearly layered and look like mountains, so they are named "mountains".
"Yesterday, General Baili arrived in Watanabe Town, and I heard that General Zhang Wu had already handed over the military power, and it seems that it will not take two days for Chu and Qin to fight. ”
"Not only General Baili, but even Chu Sheng is here, this time there will definitely be a fierce battle between Chu and Qin. ”
"Chu Sheng is already old, if he really makes a move, I'm afraid he won't be able to beat Qin Sheng. ”
"Alas, after all, Chu Sheng is already three thousand five hundred years old. ”
This is the topic of conversation among the friends on the right.
However, Ma Feifei is obviously interested in this topic, and it should be said that Ma Feifei is interested in that 'three thousand five hundred years old'.
"Three thousand five hundred years old!" Ma Feifei was surprised by this number. In the previous life, we were only 5,000 years old, and there are people in this world who can live for 3,500 years!
"Chu Sheng, could it be a saint?" Ma Feifei touched his chin and pondered.
To be honest, when he came to this world, Ma Feifei really didn't have any concept of the cultivation of this world, and Ma Feifei of the immortals or something had also thought about it, but this world should also belong to the mortal world, right?
I don't know why, Ma Feifei actually has some yearning in his heart.
Three thousand five hundred years, what a romance.
......
Just when Ma Feifei was sitting in the tavern listening to the strange things in the Canglong Continent, Zhou Guanyu also had an accident over there.
He was sick.
To be precise, he is a heart disease.
After returning from the 'Magic Bookstore', Zhou Guanyu looked listless, and all he could think about was that book.
If you want to say that the book tells a wonderful story, it doesn't, it's just something very ordinary, very common, but somehow, Zhou Guanyu just wants to see the rest of the content.
Zhou Guanyu lived for 16 years, reading at the age of three, enlightening at the age of five, and reading through hundreds of schools of thought at the age of eight. I've read 8,000 books, if not 10,000, but I've never read a book like this.
The beautiful words, the life of the little girl's family, are so attractive to themselves, so that they can't stop thinking about it.
So, Zhou Guan fished. I didn't eat lunch, and I sat in the yard in the afternoon, looking stupidly ahead, my eyes blank.
"Fish Watching"
"Sister" Zhou Guanyu looked up, but found that his sister was standing in front of him.
"Sister, why did you come out, sit down. Seeing Zhou Zhuya's pale face, Zhou Guanyu couldn't care about the book at the moment, so he quickly got up and helped Zhou Zhuya sit down, and complained: "Sister, your illness is not cured yet, how can you run around." ”
Zhou Guanyu and Zhou Zhuya's mother are four years older than Zhou Guanyu, which is the age of Taoli Nian, but Zhou Zhuya has a very serious illness and time is short.
"Cough" Zhou Zhuya just sat down, and before she could speak, she couldn't help coughing, and her throat was sweet. Zhou Zhuya hurriedly covered it with a handkerchief, and when she took it away, it was already covered with blood.
"Sister, I'll call Master Huang. Zhou Guanyu panicked, got up and was about to run, but was stopped by Zhou Zhuya.
"It's okay, don't bother Master Huang. Zhou Zhuya slowed down, took Zhou Guanyu's hand, showed a smile on her pale face, and asked, "I heard my father say that you are listless today, are you not feeling well?"
Zhou Guanyu looked at his sister, feeling uncomfortable, but it was not easy to show it, where did he have the heart to ponder that book at this time!
"It's okay sister, it's just because of a book, it's not a big deal. ”
"Oh?" Maybe it's because I read too many books when I was a child, Zhou Guanyu's last favorite thing to do in the past two years is to read books, and now he can be listless for a book, which makes Zhou Zhuya interested and asked, "Tell me about it." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Guanyu had no choice but to talk a little bit about the content of the book he saw in the 'Magic Bookstore' yesterday, and Zhou Zhuya, who listened to it, fell into a trance.
"There is such a magical book?" Zhou Zhuya couldn't help but marvel after listening to it.
Zhou Guanyu nodded and said, "Well, it's unheard of." ”
Zhou Guanyu is also a famous talent, it is not an exaggeration to read thousands of volumes, how difficult it is to say unheard of words from his mouth.
"Not only that, but the more amazing bookstore is only allowed to see, not sell, and you need to pay an hour for a spirit crystal. ”
"Oh?" Zhou Zhuya was also a little curious when she heard about it for the first time, but she was as smart as she immediately thought of a question.
"Isn't the bookstore unattended?"
In Watanabe Town, although the spirit crystal is not a rare thing, it is also the most important thing for a practitioner, and no one will want to take the spirit crystal to read a book, unless it is an exercise.
Zhou Guanyu nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise the shopkeeper wouldn't have sat on the maza and counted the money to pass the time." What's even more infuriating is that there are only two books in the huge bookstore, and I am afraid that some people will not be able to do business. ”
"Take my sister to see it tomorrow?" Zhou Zhuya became interested, and she also liked to read books very much, especially in the past two years, the illness has become more and more serious, and most of the time is spent in bed, and when she is bored, she can only use books to relieve her boredom.
When Zhou Guanyu heard this, his head shook like a rattle, and said, "No, sister, your body is so weak, it's better to recuperate at home." ”
In the past two years, Zhou Zhuya's condition has become more and more serious, and she will be in a coma for a few days if she has nothing to do, let alone going out, even if she walks in the yard, she can't last long.
"Take my sister to see it, okay. Zhou Zhuyan was still pale with a smile on her face and spoke softly.
Zhou Guanyu heard a different taste from it, looking at Zhou Zhuya's pale face, Zhou Guanyu finally couldn't bear to refuse.
"The bookstore is closed today, and I can't say tomorrow, so why don't you let someone explore the way first, and when the bookstore opens, my sister is going with me, right?"
"Hmm. Zhou Zhuya nodded lightly.
"Poof"
Another mouthful of blood spit out, Zhou Zhuya didn't even have time to cover it this time, so she could only turn sideways slightly to avoid spitting on Zhou Guanyu.
"Sister, Huang Shi, Huang Shi!" Zhou Guanyu held Zhou Zhuya, looking at Zhou Zhuya who had fainted, the blue muscles on her white and tender face swelled, and the roaring voice resounded throughout the Zhou Mansion.
A flash of light flashed, and there were more people in this courtyard.
