Chapter 17: The Strange Shop

From time to time, the thin men returned to where they had been.

Looking at the town full of wooden buildings from afar, I didn't feel any fear.

"Maybe it was my delusion before....." The thin man was about to say this, but the next moment he couldn't say a word.

A great terror instantly permeated his body, his heart beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat, his head instantly went blank, his breathing also stopped, and he felt as if he was about to die.

The other people were in a similar situation, their faces turned pale and their faces were full of fear, and the town in front of them was like some terrifying beast, now cracking open the abyssal jaw, sticking out their tongues at them, and they were just the food on the plate.

It took a long time for this feeling to disappear in an instant.

Several people fainted in an instant, only the thin man was still awake, because his cultivation was slightly higher than the others, and he barely held a trace of consciousness without fainting, but at this time, his whole body was also soaked with sweat, and he fell to the ground, and his limbs were paralyzed.

He had never felt such a fear, and he swore that it was a feeling that was an infinite number of times more terrifying than death, and that every moment was an incomparably tormenting, or in one word, he would be hell.

"Whew.... ...... he breathed heavily, trying to adjust his body, he had to regain his strength, and run away, he didn't want to stay in this place for a while.

After a few breaths, the thin man staggered to his feet, looked at the fainting few people on the ground, and touched the cold sweat on the top of his head.

He wanted to escape alone, but these people were the last branches of those big families, and his identity was almost the same, if he was the only one who went back alive, but if he got a big deal, if they were all dead, he would leave now, and there would be no problem, this was force majeure, and he went back to report not only no fault but also merit.

But at this time, these people are still alive, and if he escapes like this, he is abandoned, and if no one knows, it doesn't matter, but he is afraid that someone will come back alive and hold him accountable for this matter, and according to the rules of the sect, he will be put to death.

"No, I can't stay here any longer. ”

Cold sweat continued to break out on the thin man's head, and he always felt that the fear he had before would appear again in the next moment, and he couldn't think about anything anymore.

In a breath, he made a decision.

"Kill !! so that I can survive, you will suffer some grievances!!!"

The thin man's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, white smoke gushed from his nose, and with a snort, his fists turned dark blue, heading towards the heads of several people.

Like a watermelon shattering, with a few pops, there were only six headless corpses left in place.

And after the thin man finished his move, he had already pulled out his legs, and now he was dozens of miles away, and he was simply running for his life.

It wasn't until the thin man ran into obscurity that one of the six headless corpses that remained in place suddenly writhed.

I don't know when the boy with a pale face appeared.

"Haha, this kind of luck is not bad, to send me a body with two spirit roots. ”

The small hand stretched out from the wide sleeve robe, revealing no half of the blood, and pointed at the lower abdomen of the writhing body, and in an instant, a cloud of blood mist burst open, and two small stone-like things flew out of it, without any blood.

Falling into the small hand, I could see clearly, the two small stone-shaped things were transparent like ice crystals, and there was a special symbol in them, as if they were frozen in it, one was like fire, and the other was like a drop of water.

The boy cracked the corners of his mouth, glanced at it with satisfaction, took his little hand back, and looked back at the reverse of the thin man's departure.

"Sure enough, the mountain is about to open......

Before the words were finished, the figure disappeared unconsciously.

On the second day, in Candleflower Town, Ming Bufan went to the outside of a strange shop, which was the result of his question to the old man who lived next to his plate, saying that this shop sells everything as a grocery store, and it is also the only shop that sells things in this area, and even some things can be sold in this shop, as for whether the store collects or not is another thing, except for this grocery store, through the town, to the opposite side of the town, there is also a shop.

Looking at the ancient wooden house in front of him, Ming Bufan also felt that it was not very reliable, but at least he had to buy some food, otherwise the little food that Ming Lan brought with him when he left would be eaten soon.

patted the hem of the clothes, tidied up the sleeves, although the clothes were a little old and white, they were clean, Ming Bufan naturally didn't want to, but when he went in to buy something, he was regarded as asking for food.

He stepped forward and gently pushed the wooden door open.

In an instant, Ming Bufan's eyes lit up, and the pattern suddenly opened up, completely opposite to the dilapidated outside, there were cabinets full of objects, all kinds of things, full of Ming Bufan's eyeballs, looking at those cabinets were all clear, without a trace of dust.

"What do you want to buy, this big brother?"

"Huh?"

A crisp female voice suddenly came from behind Ming Bufan, startling him, and he quickly turned around, almost making his eyes straighten.

Although the woman in front of her was dressed plainly, she was only dressed in a green shirt, but that kind of incomparable temperament could not be covered at all, and then the face of the sinking fish and geese made Ming Bufan, who had seen countless stunning beauties on TV in his previous life, be amazed, this kind of beauty is not the same concept at all, but shows a taste that does not eat the fireworks of the world.

made him look a little stunned for a while.

"Big brother!!"

"Huh?!"

After the woman shouted again, Ming Bufan came back to his senses again, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and smiled awkwardly, he knew that he was also a little out of shape.

"Big brother, what do you want to buy, can you tell me, otherwise if you look for it yourself, it will be difficult to find it." ”

Although the woman in the green shirt felt that this person was a little strange, she still said that she, the owner of the shop, still had to behave, after all, the mortal in front of her might not be someone from the Candle Flower Clan.

Ming Bufan naturally knew what he wanted, and he recalled what he was going to do in an instant, and his face was correct.

"I need some cheap food, and some herbs to suppress the pain of old wounds, I don't know if I have them. ”

The woman watched Ming Bufan instantly turn into a calm appearance, and she was slightly surprised in her heart, how could the person who saw her for the first time quickly recover her calm, there were few in her memory, all of them were the pride of the sky, but the mortal in front of her was like this, and she was also a little surprised, but she had never seen it in these days, so she had some questions.

But she only smiled slightly, as long as it didn't disrupt her plans, who and what did she have to do with her, just be a good shopkeeper.

"Some food and herbs to suppress the pain of old wounds? well, yes. ”

As he spoke, he led Ming Bufan towards a cabinet.

Gently opened, there were several dried herbs in it, took out one of them, and handed it to Ming Bufan.

"This one only sells the whole plant.." The woman in the green shirt smiled slightly.

Ming Bufan looked at it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, he also had a little understanding of the medicinal properties, which he needed, and nodded at any time.

"How many taels of silver will cost this? ”

"Fifty copper coins...."

The woman in the green shirt said casually, she didn't take it too seriously, and she was going to lead Ming Bufan to another place.

But Ming Bufan gasped, and suddenly stopped there, all his belongings were only half a silver coin, and it was only five hundred copper coins, which was half of his father's life savings, although most of it was spent on treating old diseases, but it was not so exaggerated.

A plant of medicinal materials here costs fifty, originally in Changfeng Town, he wanted to buy a bundle of medicinal materials, and only a few copper coins would be fine, although not to mention what the medicinal properties are, but this gap, how not to surprise Ming Bufan.

The woman in the green shirt didn't realize anything, and walked a few steps, but she felt that there was no one behind her, so she turned her head and chuckled, what she saw was Ming Bufan holding a medicinal herb in her hand, with a sluggish look, and it looked quite funny at a glance, no wonder.

Ming Bufan heard the laughter, and he also came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and said with difficulty:

"Can this herb be cheaper.....

The woman in the green shirt was suddenly puzzled, and thought in her heart, is fifty copper coins very expensive, she remembered that those people used to buy a lot of money, and she had never used this kind of coin outside, and she didn't know what the concept was, anyway, it was useless for monks, that is, those sect people used it to adjust the mortal society.

Although she was a little puzzled, the woman in the green shirt still replied:

"All things have been laid down in the rules, and nothing can be sold cheaply. ”

Ming Bufan said in his heart Sure enough, he sighed in his heart, but he still held this medicinal herb in his hand, which must be bought, and his father's tossing and turning appearance last night was too clear in his mind.

"Okay, take me to see the food. He couldn't change it, so he had to accept it, he just hoped that the food could be cheaper, but he didn't have much hope in his heart, and he was full of uncertainty about the future for a while.

"It seems that when I get those herbs back, I will have to find some labor to do, otherwise I may starve to death," Ming Bufan thought in his heart.

The woman in the green shirt looked at Ming Bufan's expression, and she was also aware of Ming Bufan's embarrassment, although she didn't care about the money at all, but the rules here couldn't be broken.

"Hmm" nodded slightly, and then walked towards another place with Ming Bufan, that is, he saw several jars of large altars, and the women in green shirts opened the lids on them one by one, and they were filled with grains of different quality and bad in turn.

Looking at the worst slag rice, Ming Bufan sighed, if he could choose, he could eat this kind of food himself, he really didn't want his father and sister to eat these things, but the money in his arms was embarrassed, and he had no choice at all.

Pointing to the last jar of the worst-conditioned grain: "What about this price?" ”

Although the woman in the green shirt was a little prepared in her heart, she didn't expect that the person in front of her really wanted to buy this kind of hard-to-swallow cereal, and she was very surprised in her heart, but after thinking about it, it is estimated that this person is probably used for other purposes, after all, this kind of cereal is also used by people in the town she saw to feed some beautiful wild birds, so she replied: "Twenty copper coins and one stone"

Ming Bufan said in his heart Sure enough, he originally bought food in the town, and five copper coins could buy thirty catties of high-quality cereals, and this, twenty copper coins and one stone, that is, twenty copper coins nearly sixty catties, the price is four times, not to mention the difference in the quality of cereals, the cereals that were originally bought in the town were slightly worse than the best.

But Ming Bufan can't even think of buying the best now.

"Just give me a stone. ”

Although there were all kinds of strange things in this shop, Ming Bufan only bought food and medicinal herbs, and he didn't have the slightest idea of anything else.

On the way back, I was carrying a bag of copper coins in my arms, and my heart was really bitter.

"Hey, the food is still going to fall, one stone can be eaten for at least more than a month, and the medicinal herbs must not be able to be bought anymore, this medicinal herb can only be drunk for two days at most, and you have to go outside to find it." ”

Ming Bufan touched the small sword in his arms, and made up his mind in his heart.
