Chapter 44: Black Mandala
All the way.
Not long after, a marble square the size of several football fields appeared directly in Shang Tianji's sight.
On the square, there are several rows of old trees and ancient trees that are scattered and leafy, with thick branches, and are used to shade pedestrians.
Under the old trees and ancient trees, people come and go, a famous stall owner sits in front of his stall, there are stalls that customers pay attention to, some have already begun to make deals, some are bargaining, there are no stalls that customers pay attention to, and the stall owner will also shout a few times from time to time.
In addition to the stall area, there is a shop area with a variety of well-decorated shops that specialize in selling various items.
Shang Tianji came to the square with a backpack, walked around a few times casually, walked past a dozen stalls, and after not finding anything worth selling, he did not continue to stay in the stall area, turned around and came to the store area, and casually looked at the many shops in the store area.
In the end, Shang Tianji found a shop called Yicao Pavilion, whose name was a bit interesting.
And through the transparent glass used for decoration outside the Grass Pavilion, you can clearly see that there are several rows of solid wood shelves displayed in the Grass Pavilion.
"Hello sir, welcome to the Alien Grass Pavilion, what do you need?" Shang Tianji had just stepped into the Alien Pavilion, and a woman with a good face and a modern welcome dress walked out from behind the work counter and said with a warm smile on her face.
"Hello, your shop is called Yicao Pavilion, can you introduce it in detail?" Shang Tianji said with a smile.
"Naturally, our shop is named Heikkaku, and as the name suggests, we sell a variety of exotic plants and flowers. There are all kinds of strange flowers and plants, as well as some mutated plants that are rare in the outside world, please come with me, sir. The woman in the welcome dress explained briefly, and then led the merchant to the shelves in the store.
"This is a lily, and after the lily bloomed, it was mostly white. The lily in our store is our boss for this martial arts conference, deliberately spent a lot of money, invited professional and technical personnel, put the lily in a specific environment after genetic mutation and recombination, after several generations of cultivation, and finally cultivated the dark blue lily, if Mr. wants to buy some flowers and plants back as a potted plant, lily is a good choice. ”
"Roses, after our special cultivation, can produce two-color roses, and there is a certain probability of three-color roses, or even four-color roses. Jasmine, after mutation, its flower color changes from the original white to yellow, orchid, can drive out noble purple flowers"
......
The welcome dress leads the merchant to the sky, walking back and forth in front of the shelves in the store, and the exit is explained by the merchant machine.
"Hey, what's that?" At this time, Shang Tianji suddenly found a strange black plant planted on top of the porcelain pot in a corner of the store, more than half a meter high, whether it was a branch or a leaf, it was a black strange plant, and he couldn't help but walk over.
"Sir, beware of poison. The welcoming woman found that Shang Tianji was walking towards the black plant, and hurriedly reminded her.
"Poisonous?"
"Yes, sir, this is a mandala. Mandala is also called mandala, intoxicating flower or peach blossom, folk also have big trumpet flower, foreign gold flower and other names. The welcoming woman walked over in small steps and said.
"The mandala has a certain toxicity, it can paralyze people's nerves, and if you are not careful, you will be poisoned, and several customers have been poisoned by it before. In the legends of the rivers and lakes, the colorless and tasteless sweat medicine, Hua Tuo's hemp boiling, and its ingredients are mandala. ”
"I've seen mandalas, and I've seen quite a few, but they don't look like this. Shang Tianji shook his head slightly.
Mandala, big trumpet flower, roadside in the countryside, or in the wild, are all growing, single leaves alternate, flowers are bisexual, the corolla is trumpet-shaped, can produce needle-shaped fruits, is not a rare thing, so Shang Tianji is naturally no stranger to mandala.
However, the mandalas that Shang Tianji has seen are almost all green, like the current one that is dark and a little shiny, but Shang Tianji has never seen it, and it can even be said to be unheard of.
"Sir, the name of our store is Yicao Pavilion, and the flowers and plants in the store are naturally different. This black mandala is a mutant that was inadvertently cultivated by the technicians hired by our boss when they were cultivating other mutated flowers and plants. The welcoming woman smiled.
"Except for the flowers that bloom white, purple and white, or pink and white, most of the other places, whether it is the branches, the leaves, or the fruits they bear, are green. ”
"The strain in our store, after mutation, directly turned into pure black, and our technicians estimated that the flowers and fruits that would bloom in the future would all be black, so we named it Black Mandala. And after our experiments, we found that it is extremely toxic, and a leaf can poison a strong cow. ”
"A leaf can stun a strong cow, that is to say, a leaf can stun an adult, this highly poisonous plant, your store dares to put it directly on the surface?" Shang Tianji asked.
"Sir, the black mandala is a highly toxic plant, if it is usually in the outside world, it may not work on the surface. But there is no problem in selling it on the market of the martial arts conference. Moreover, although the black mandala is very toxic, it is not poisoned to death, and it can stun people, but it cannot poison people to death. The welcoming woman explained.
"How to sell the black mandala, I want it. Shang Tianji casually mentioned it, and after the welcoming woman explained, she directly made a decision to take down the black mandala.
The black mandala, although the medicine does not kill people, but a leaf can poison a strong cow. If you take it down now, maybe it will play a big role in surprise at a critical moment in the future.
"Sir, the black mandala can be regarded as a strange flower, and it was cultivated by our technicians by chance, and there is no way to mass produce it, even if it is in our store, it only exists at present. The welcoming woman said.
"Unless this black mandala blossoms and bears fruit on its own and reproduces seeds, otherwise, we have no way to cultivate a second one, it can be said that this black mandala is the only one in the world. ”
"So this black mandala, unlike the other exotic flowers and plants in the store, we only accept barter. ”
"Only accepting barter, that is to say, ordinary coin transactions, is it not possible?" Shang Tianji said in a deep voice.
"Sir, a single leaf of a black mandala can poison a strong cow, and in some ways, it has a special effect on a certain group of people. If it could have been bought with money, this black mandala would have been bought by someone else a long time ago. The welcoming woman did not answer Shang Tianji directly, but the meaning of her words was already very clear.
"How do you exchange things for barter?" Shang Tianji asked.
"Sir, I don't know exactly how it will be exchanged. However, our boss explained that if someone is really interested in the black mandala and agrees to barter, they can talk to our boss in detail. Do you need to contact our boss for you now?" the welcoming woman said apologetically, and then asked.
"Hmm. Shang Tianji nodded.
"Hello sir, our boss will be coming over soon, you wait a minute, do you need anything now?" The welcoming woman was affirmed by Shang Tianji, and she quickly called the owner of the store, and then said.
"Do you have any seeds for any of the other mutated flowers and plants in your store? ”
Although the various flowers and plants in the Alien Grass Pavilion were not useful medicinal herbs for cultivation, they were all mutants that were rare to see in the outside world, and since Shang Tianji had discovered their existence now, he naturally had no reason to let them go in vain.
Take them down now, go back and plant them in the Divine Medicine Garden, maybe with the rich heaven and earth aura in the Divine Medicine Garden, you can make them mutate again, and then directly evolve a peerless and rare variety.
"As for the seeds, we still have some in the store, do you want a copy of each one?" asked the welcoming woman to Shang Tianji.
"One serving of each. Shang Tianji nodded.
"Please wait. The welcoming woman Shang Tianji's affirmation did not hesitate, she said politely, and returned directly to the counter, took down the flowers and grass seeds from the shelves behind the counter, and sorted and packed them for Shang Tianji.
Woohoo
A few minutes later, with the sound of brakes, a red sedan came to a steady stop in front of the store. The door opened, and out of the car stepped out of the car a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman wearing white sports, tall, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and a relatively attractive look.
"Sir, here comes our boss. The welcoming woman who was sorting and packing flowers and plants for Shang Tianji also saw the car staying at the door of the store and the woman who got out of the car, and said to Shang Tianji directly.
While talking, the woman who got out of the car also walked into the store.
"Boss, it's this gentleman who has taken a fancy to the black mandala. The welcoming woman saw the woman who walked into the store, and she also opened her mouth to explain to the woman at the right time.
"Hello, I'm Fu Qing, not the pay, it's the Fu surnamed Fu, the evergreen Qing. The woman who walked into the store first nodded to the Ying woman to indicate that she knew, and then walked up to Shang Tianji, and said with a smile.
"Hello Boss Fu, I am Shang Tianji, the Shang Dynasty Shang, the heavenly machine that cannot be revealed. Shang Tianji also introduced himself.
"Boss Fu sounds weird, I'm not a few years older than you, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Fu, or Sister Qing." Fu Qing laughed and said familiarly.
"Sister Qing, hello. Shang Tianji didn't care either, and changed his words.
"Well, that's right. Fu Qing smiled and said: "However, although Tianji you call me Sister Qing, but we are in business, although the black mandala was inadvertently cultivated by Sister Qing, it also cost me a lot of money, and this black mandala is a unique existence in the world, if you don't come up with anything good, don't think about Sister Qing, I will replace it here." ”
