Chapter 7: Lingyun Valley!
Lingyun Valley is located in the middle of the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, and the heaven and earth in the valley are strong, even in the cold winter season when the snow covers the mountain, it is as warm as summer.
Because it is surrounded by many villages and tribes, and the terrain is flat, over time, Lingyun Valley has become a place for hundreds of nearby villages and tribes to concentrate on trading.
The New Year is approaching, and it is the time for the major tribal villages to buy New Year's goods, and at this moment, the Lingyun Valley is crowded with people, and it is a hot scene.
The market in the valley is divided into four major areas: spiritual materials, weapons, miscellaneous goods, and animal husbandry.
Among them, the three areas of spiritual materials, weapons, and animal husbandry are relatively simple, while the grocery area is all-encompassing.
The number of spirit animals traded in the Heavenly Demon Village was too large, and almost all the strong laborers in the village were dispatched.
Hundreds of board trucks and more than 2,000 black sheep were connected front and rear to form a convoy hundreds of zhang long.
Before entering the market from the winding mountain road, it already alarmed the people from all the major villages and tribes in the market.
"Which tribe came down from the mountain, and brought so many spirit animals containing Yuan Power. β
"There are already more than 100 children in my clan who are undergoing basic cultivation, and they just need this kind of high-quality meat. β
Before the Heavenly Demon Village and others came to the market, the intersection was already blocked by the heads of the major tribes responsible for purchasing New Year's goods.
There were even a few groups of people who took the initiative to greet Qiu Yanyan in front of the convoy.
"Village Chief Qiu, so much high-quality meat, all raised by your village?" a strong man in a spotted tiger skin coat stepped forward with a smile and put his arm on Qiu Yanyan's shoulder.
This person Qiu Shuiming has seen, he is the village chief of the Black Bear Village next door to the Heavenly Demon Village, called Xiong Da Khan, who is bold and straightforward, and is a good person.
I used to hear that Qiu Shuiming could write poems and paint at the age of three, and Xiong Dahan specially brought his daughter to Qiu Shuiming's house to visit the door, saying that he wanted to set a baby kiss.
At that time, Qiu Shuiming was so frightened that he almost drilled the table, and the daughter of the big man of Guy, Xiong Qingchun, was called five big and three thick, more than five feet tall at the age of three, and her arms were thicker than Qiu Shuiming's waist.
Moreover, the bear's youthful personality is also extremely strong, and he looks even more powerful than Lin Erya, not to mention that Qiu Shuiming disagrees, even Qiu Shuiming's parents have been embarrassed for a long time!
"Old Bear, are you going to put on a good spirit animal, in short supply in the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, the price is not something that a small village like you and me can afford, and the annual year handed over to the big clan every year has made it unbearable for me to wait, where is there any extra yuan stone to buy meat!"
Another rickety old man in linen stepped forward with several strong men, and his cloudy eyes showed helplessness when he spoke.
Qiu Yanyan lay on the back of her mother Guo Huailan, glanced at the people blocking the intersection, and found that most of them were just here to join in the fun, and they had no intention of buying.
Indeed, apart from the big clans, ordinary small tribal villages really don't have the financial resources to purchase so many spirit animals for the children's basic cultivation.
"Excuse me, we have to rush to the livestock area!"
Qiu Yanyan also knew this, and after greeting everyone with a smile, he took the lead in leading the convoy down the crowded street towards the animal husbandry.
"Mother, I want to go shopping with Brother Huzi. Qiu Shuiming glanced at the crowded streets, and immediately whispered to Guo Huailan.
Guo Huailan hesitated, now that Lingyun Valley was gathering demon cultivators from hundreds of village races, she was a little uneasy to let Qiu Shuiming go out with a few half-grown children.
Hearing this, Qiu Yanyan turned around and said, "Since they have all come out, it's good to go and see and see, San'er, Huzi, they are all smart children, and they will be fine!"
At this moment, two or three sturdy young men of fifteen or sixteen years old, all wearing spotted leather jackets, stepped forward.
"Uncle Qiu, you adults go to trade, I, Huzi, and the third brother of Lao Wu will take Shuiming brother to the grocery area, and wait for you at the market entrance later!"
These three teenagers are all neighbors in the village not far from Qiu Shuiming's house, and all three of them have completed their basic cultivation and opened up the spiritual sea, and they are the leaders of the younger generation in the village.
The eldest of them is called Lin San, and he also has a younger sister named Lin Erya, that is, the family that kissed Qiushui Mingding when he was a child.
Lin San likes the extremely intelligent Qiu Shuiming very much, and almost regards him as his future brother-in-law.
The other two, one is named Zhang Hu and the other is called Friday Qian, and they love Qiu Shui Ming in the village on weekdays.
Guo Huailan hesitated for a moment, then handed over Qiu Shui Ming to the three of them, and then followed the village's convoy towards the livestock trading area.
After the adults were all gone, Lin San picked up Qiu Shui Ming and laughed: "Brother Shui Ming, when you get to the grocery area later, I will buy you and Er Ya a colorful windmill, as long as the wind blows, it will spin up, it is very beautiful!"
Qiushui's eyes rolled, windmills, even in the previous life, he had never played with it, it was too naΓ―ve.
The grocery area is in the easternmost part of the market, because there are too many stalls and crowds on the streets, and the four of them have a lot of effort to cross seven or eight streets to come to the grocery area.
There are three streets hundreds of feet long in the grocery area, and there are all kinds of stalls, with small toys, ironware, ceramics, and various hand-woven exquisite accessories.
There are also spiritual wood shops, pawn shops, garment shops, and weapon shops......
These three streets are the most lively places in the whole market, and they can only be moved by crowding.
"Third brother, I want to sell something, where should I go?" said Qiu Shuiming in an old-fashioned manner.
Lin San, Zhang Hu, and Friday Qian were all stunned, selling things? What can a four-year-old child sell anything valuable?
Seeing the hesitation and suspicion on the faces of the three of them, Qiu Shuiming immediately said, "What I want to sell is valuable, sell it later, and I will give you three of you five medium-grade demon yuan stones each!"
Qiu Shuiming This is also helpless, after all, he is just a child, take something to sell, the merchant will definitely not dare to accept it, and it may also hack him, although Lin San and the three of them are only fifteen or sixteen years old, but because of cultivation, they are all close to two meters tall, and they are strong, and they don't look much different from adults.
The three of them came forward to sell it, which would naturally save a lot of trouble.
"Five...... Five medium-grade demon yuan stones!" The boss with his mouth open, his face full of disbelief.
Lin San and Friday Qian were also dumbfounded, they all knew that five medium-grade demon yuan stones needed an adult strong man to work in the demon yuan stone vein for a whole month in the Heavenly Demon Village to earn them.
Right now, a four-year-old child like Qiu Shuiming said that the things he sold could give them three fifteen middle-grade demon yuan stones, so how valuable did the things he sell?
Friday Qian patted Qiu Shuiming's back, and scolded with a smile: "You shouldn't have stolen Aunt Huailan's jewelry, I heard that Auntie's family is a big family with a head and a face in Tianqi City, and her jewelry is all magic weapons of the spiritual level, which is very valuable, I heard my mother say that last year's annual rules in the village were all made up by Aunt Aunt's selling jewelry!"
Hearing this, Lin San and Zhang Hu's faces suddenly turned correct, and they glared at Qiu Shui Ming and said, "Brother Shui Ming, you may not be able to steal your aunt's things and sell them, if you are discovered, we will all have to be smoked!"
Qiu Shuiming sighed helplessly and said, "Don't worry, how could I steal my mother's things, what I want to sell is some gadgets I made myself!"
Lin San and the others were suspicious and did not respond immediately.
Qiu Shuiming immediately lifted the cloth bag around his waist and said, "This is what I want to sell, nine wooden cards, each set of three pieces, and each set sells five hundred medium-grade demon yuan stones!"
Lin San took off the cloth bag on Qiu Shuiming's waist, and when he looked at it, his face suddenly darkened, "It's just this wooden sign with a ghost drawing talisman, you sell such a ghost, a fool will buy it!"
Zhang Hu and Friday Qian also looked at each other, looking at Qiu Shuiming with a dark face.
"Brother Shui Ming, don't tease us, I remember last year you said that women's dirty clothes can be set up, but I stole the clothes of those sisters in the village, and in the end, the formation was not completed, and I was almost killed by my sisters!"
Qiu Shuiming raised his forehead and sighed, "It's because your own understanding is too low, and you don't strictly follow the formation diagram, so naturally you can't activate the formation, I really didn't lie to you, otherwise, let's find a shop that collects treasures and ask, even if I'm lying to you, at most I will be driven out, right?" But if it is sold, you will have demon yuan stones, and the three of you are in the period of crossing the spirit sea, and you need a lot of demon yuan stones!"
Lin San, Zhang Hu, and Friday Qian thought for a long time, and then nodded reluctantly.
Soon, under the leadership of Lin San, the four of them squeezed along the street to a three-story wooden building.
"This is the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, the shop of the Snow Girl Clan, one of the three major clans of the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, with fair prices and treasure experts!" Lin San briefly introduced, and then took the lead in the hall on the first floor of the attic.
Qiu Shuiming looked around and found that there were four windows in front of the hall, and in each window, a staff member was sitting.
And in front of every window, there are one or twenty people lined up, some to buy things, some to sell things.
Although there were many people in the hall, it was orderly and there was no sign of chaos.
After Lin San handed Qiu Shuiming over to Zhang Hu and Friday Qian to take care of, he took the cloth bag given by Qiu Shuiming and began to line up.
The efficiency of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion was very high, and soon, it was Lin San's turn.
"Little brother, what are you selling?" said to Lin San with a smile from the beautiful woman in a long purple dress in the window.
Lin San's face turned red and he stammered, "I'm here to sell firewood, no...... It's selling wooden signs!"
Lin San looked more mature, he was actually young, and he hadn't dealt with girls much, and at this moment, he was a little embarrassed to see the beautiful girl in the window smiling sweetly at him.
"Haha, the third brother is shy, it's a shame. Lin San and Zhang Hu laughed narrowly.
The girl in the window was stunned for a moment when she heard Lin San's words, and then reacted, took the cloth bag in Lin San's hand with a smile, opened it and looked at it, her face suddenly turned cold.
"I'm sorry, it's okay for you to take this thing back as firewood to cook, we don't accept it here!"
As a female staff member of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, Rococo is often teased on weekdays, so she was not angry just now.
She thought that Lin San was joking with her and teasing herself, but she never thought that this honest-looking young man would really take a few pieces of wood to entertain herself, and the anger in her heart couldn't help but explode.
Lin San was stunned for a moment, then his face turned dark, and he turned his head and stared at Qiu Shuiming with buffalo eyes and hatred.
Qiu Shui Ming sighed on his forehead, and immediately jumped out of Zhang Hu's arms and ran forward.
Since he was only four years old and not yet as tall as a workbench, he had to stand on his tiptoes to barely let the girl in the purple dress in the window see him.
"Beautiful sister, these nine wooden tablets are engraved with the Spirit Gathering Formation, if you don't know it, you can ask your treasure connoisseur to come and see it, we are definitely not here to entertain you. β
Qiu Shuiming looks white and tender, his facial features are exquisite, his big eyes are watery, he looks very cute, plus he has a sweet mouth and speaks clearly, Rococo's originally gloomy face suddenly stretched, and he smiled at Qiu Shuiming: "Little brother, please wait a while!"
She reached out and tugged at a red rope next to her, and immediately a crisp bell sounded.
After ten breaths, an old man in green clothes wearing a half-silver mask walked out of the back room.
The silver-faced old man took the cloth bag in the hand of the girl in the purple skirt, took out the wooden card engraved with the spirit gathering array diagram inside, looked at it carefully for a long time, his eyes showed excitement, and immediately said to Lin San in front of the window: "Little brother, can you tell who carved the formation line on this wooden card?"
Lin San was stunned for a moment, he was not stupid, looking at the situation now, it was obvious that this wooden card was very valuable, otherwise it would not have been possible to make the treasure connoisseur of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion so excited.
But this wooden plaque was taken out by Qiu Shuiming, how did he know who carved it.
"Senior, I don't know about this, but can you tell me how many yuan stones can be sold for these nine wooden cards?"
The silver-faced old man said excitedly, "It's valuable, of course it's valuable, but if you can tell me who this wooden card comes from, I can give you two thousand medium-grade demon yuan stones as a thank you gift!"
"What, two...... Two thousand?" Lin San's whole body trembled, and he just told who carved those ghost talismans, and gave two thousand medium-grade demon yuan stones, which is too scary, it is almost equivalent to the annual example of two years in the Heavenly Demon Village.
(Sorry, got off the train at ten o'clock, then took the subway for more than an hour, then ate with friends, and then cleaned the house, updated late, and apologized to everyone!)
