At the foot of Yin Mountain, near Lethe, there is a small town called Demon Yan, the town is not big, sparsely inhabited by hundreds of families, the rammed earth structure houses are irregularly located on the Gobi, the earth walls with extremely wide spacing will divide one independent place after another, the whole town looks barren and ugly, as if the scars of the nine shades have fallen off, falling into this silent and desolate place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Perhaps because of the wind and sand, the atmosphere of the town does not seem to be friendly, the few people wander around, the brown doors and windows of every house are closed, and the shaking wind chimes hang on the gates, like a wilderness-like silence shrouded the town, like a long-abandoned ghost town, exuding an extremely oppressive and boring atmosphere.

At the east end of the town, there is a rammed earth tavern, which is the only place in the town that sells alcohol, even if it is inferior wine mixed with at least half of white water, it can be regarded as the place where the men of the whole town flock to it, this is probably the most popular place in the town, but not many people are willing to drink in the tavern, they are all in a hurry to hit half a catty of inferior wine, and then leave this place in a hurry......

Because drinking in a tavern, the place also counts money, the black-hearted shopkeeper Cai will not let go of every opportunity to make money, and the stingy townspeople will not become generous, in this barren world, the difficulty of obtaining food is beyond imagination, a land that is not suitable for plant growth, the shortage of food has become an inevitable direction, in addition, there is the occasional visible ghost, as if another mountain, pressed on everyone's chest.

On this day, there was a sneaky figure outside the tavern, it was a young man named Aqi next door, his hands were in the cuffs full of greasy, and he looked at the tavern with a thief's eyebrows, Shopkeeper Cai glanced at him slightly, and didn't pay attention to anything, until the people in the tavern were almost gone, and Aqi came over mysteriously.

He glanced outside the door and saw that no one was going to come in, so he lowered his voice a little and said, "Lao Cai, there are good things, do you want them?"

"Just you?" Shopkeeper Cai crackled and fiddled with the abacus, glanced at him, shook his head and sneered, after all, the neighborhood has been around for nearly thirty years, how can it be unclear what kind of life Ah Qi has lived, he has eaten the last meal without the next meal, and it is already a great blessing that he did not starve to death, and now he actually said that he has good things, and asked himself if he wants it, if this kind of thing spreads, it is probably an unbelievable thing for every person in Demon Yan Town.

"Really, don't believe it!" Abeg looked out in a hurry, and then carefully pulled out a rag from his bosom, and he lifted a corner of the rag, revealing a scarlet slender nameless petal.

After Shopkeeper Cai glanced at it casually, his body froze there all of a sudden, his pupils contracted, and he immediately walked to the door and closed the door.

"Where did you come from this thing?" Shopkeeper Cai looked at him with a cold face and a serious face.

At this moment, Ah Qi was a little scared, especially when those sharp eyes looked over, like the tip of a knife, they instantly pierced his mind, making his already yellow and thin face immediately turn pale......... Picked up by the river. ”

"Riverside?" The light under his eyes narrowed slightly, and Shopkeeper Cai showed a thoughtful look, but then he straightened his face...

"I—I'm not cornered. Ah Qi smiled and rubbed his shriveled stomach slightly.."I haven't had anything to eat for several days, and if I continue like this, I'm really going to starve to death, so I'll try my luck by the Lechuan River, maybe there is a flower floating over the river, just rushing to the shore, and when the time comes, I won't be worried about hunger." ”

"There was also a flower floating from the other side. Shopkeeper Cai squinted his eyes and patted the counter heavily, "I see you kid is daydreaming." Even if there is really a flower floating over from the other side, do you have the life to get it?"

He is not alarmist, because the Lechuan River on the edge of the Yinshan Prison has always been a forbidden place in the Yellow Springs world, it is said that no living creature can fly over the Lethe River, everyone who tries to reach the opposite side will fall into the river and turn into a pile of yellow mud, and finally disappear in the vast Lechuan River, this kind of thing is not a secret in the Yellow Springs World, everyone who lives near the Lechuan River will know this kind of thing, not to mention that the white bones floating in the entire Lethe River have long been countless, even if you stand by the river, you can feel the eerie and terrifying power, ordinary people will be dizzy after standing by the river for a long time, and if you are not careful, you will slip into the river and end up with no bones。

However, this Lechuan River is not useless, the seemingly dangerous upper reaches of the Lechuan River, occasionally there will be a scarlet flower, called the other side flower, this kind of flower is something that many places are rushing, whether it is hundreds of miles away in the mound city, or farther away Luo Yu City, Baoqian City...... are trying to collect this kind of thing, but the growth habits of this kind of flower on the other side have always been mysterious, and there may be on the land on the other side, but according to the current rumors, there is no kind of creature that can run to the opposite side to collect the other side of the flower, and some of the other side flowers on the market are when the upstream corpse bones are impacted, occasionally mixed with the petals that fall off, although not as precious as the whole other side flower, but it is not comparable to ordinary things.

It's just that Demon Yan Town is already on the edge of the Yinshan Prison, and judging from the flow of the Lechuan River, it is also the most downstream place, hundreds of miles to the east, is the weak sea of the Yellow Springs world, and in this barren land, the number of appearances of the flowers on the other side is already rare.

"You're only going to find this petal?" Looking at the petal wrapped in the rag, Shopkeeper Cai frowned slightly.

"That's it. Ah Qi rolled his dark eyes and sniffled slightly.."Do you want this kind of thing, if you don't want it, I'll go to the tea blacksmith in the west." ”

Seeing that his face showed a very sought-after look, the corner of Cai's shopkeeper couldn't help twitching.."No matter how good things fall into your hands, it's a tyrannical thing, and you look at the veins of the petals, it's almost making you knead into a piece of meatloaf......" He glanced at Ah Qi slowly, and then asked.."Do you want food, or do you want Da Luo Jinjing." ”

"Of course it's food...... "Can I still take that thing out and buy food, I'll starve to death if I come and go." ”

"If it's food...... shopkeeper Cai stretched out his hand and fiddled with the abacus for a while, then looked up and asked: "Do you want meat?"

"Uh......" Thinking of the meat, Ah Qi swallowed his saliva. But meat must be more expensive than ordinary food, he thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I ...... Exchange for a pound of meat, and the rest for grain. ”

"Heh-" Shopkeeper Cai glanced at him unexpectedly, then turned his head and shouted at the back hall.."Ayu, load three stones of rice, a pound of meat." ”

"Wait. "Aqi's eyes widened.."You just said...... How much?"

Shopkeeper Cai glanced at him expressionlessly.."Three stones of rice, a pound of meat." ”

"You—why don't you grab it-" Ah Qi's face turned red, his arm waved, and he looked at him with righteous indignation.."This is the flower of the other side, the flower of the other side!"

"Let me correct you...... shopkeeper Cai's face was calm, "Is it the petals of the flower on the other side, or the petals that are about to be crumpled into a ball by you." ”

"You ......" Ah Qi pointed at him, rolling up his sleeves and wanting to move, but thinking about some rumors in the town, he still gritted his teeth and gave up this idea.."Okay, even if it's a petal, it should be worth a dozen stones...... Well, even seven or eight stone dark rice is fine!"

"That's right. Shopkeeper Cai raised his eyebrows: "If you go to Lingzuka City to sell these petals, let alone seven or eight stones, if you want twenty stones, maybe someone will give it to you, but do you dare to go? Or if you go, can you pull back those foods?"

"I ......" Ah Qi whispered slightly, everyone knows that the demons outside are dancing wildly, if you meet a ghost and other guy on the road, I am afraid that you will end up with no bones, in the entire Demon Yan Town, only the shopkeeper Cai and the tea blacksmith dare to go to Lingzuka City to exchange for some materials, and other people who want to go to a place like Lingzuka City may not be able to go once in their lives.

"You black-hearted profiteer...... "Ah Qi blinked, and jumped high all of a sudden.."Demon Yan Town is not a place where you cover the sky with one hand, there is still old tea in the west, let me tell you, if you didn't have a good relationship with my dead ghost father, I would have ...... a long time ago"

"Bang-"

The abacus knocked heavily on the counter, and Shopkeeper Cai crossed his arms and squinted at him.."Needless to say, you go to find Lao Cha." ”

He motioned to the other party to take away the petals of the other side flower on the counter, and Ah Qi looked at it, but was slightly stunned for a moment: "I, I...... Okay!" He gritted his teeth, showing that he had suffered a big loss..."For the sake of my dead ghost father, I have a lot of adults, and if I don't care about such trivial things with you, don't you just suffer a loss, do you think I care...... Ayu, Ayu, cut the meat for me, don't lean meat-"

He ran towards the back hall in a puff, but Shopkeeper Cai pouted, but did not stop him.

In fact, with this kid's slippery temperament, the first place he went to was Lao Cha's blacksmith shop, but he didn't know that the price of the entire Demon Yan was set by him and Lao Cha, compared to the old tea that didn't pull out a dime, he gave this kid an extra pound of meat!

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and Shopkeeper Cai wrapped the petals of the other side flower on the counter, and smiled.."This single earns at least five hundred Luo Jinjing......"

"You take it here...... Da Luo Jinjing?" A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Shopkeeper Cai's face changed, only to find that there were two more people in the tavern.."You, how did you get in?"

"Of course I walked in. The young man at the head stood there, glancing at the inside of the tavern.

Shopkeeper Cai hesitated for a moment, stared at the two of them tightly and said, "However, I obviously closed the door just now. ”

"It's closed, can't it be opened?" the man glanced at him, then found a table and sat down.."You take Luo Jinjing here?"

"Receive. Shopkeeper Cai glanced at the man carefully, and then looked at the man who looked like an iron tower on the side.."Da Luo Jin Jing is the currency used in Yinshan Prison, and my Demon Yan Town is located in Yinshan Prison, so of course it will be accepted." ”、

Shopkeeper Cai glanced at the two of them, hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the table, and said with a smile: "Are the two monks who came in from outside?"

It is not a secret that a large number of foreign monks have poured in from Yinshan Prison.

In fact, most of the ordinary people in the Huangquan world are the descendants of foreign monks, and after a long period of reproduction, the bloodlines of the descendants have degenerated, and they have gradually become mediocre, and those who know how to practice are also unable to break through the spatial barrier of Huangquan Road because of their poor Taoism, and these people cannot return to the outside world, so they have to struggle to survive in the barren Nine Shades.

In the impression of Shopkeeper Cai, most of these people are strong and domineering, if they encounter some demons, it is not a lie to destroy the village and town, so he treats these two people with some vigilance in it.

The young man seemed to be wary, but he didn't explain, just said slightly, "I'm going to stay here for a while, it won't be too long, maybe there will be trouble, but I'll fix it." He thought for a while, and then turned his head slightly. He greeted slightly, and the man in the tower stepped forward, and with a "bang" sound, he put a bag of Da Luo Jinjing on the table.."I have occupied a piece of land in the east, which is considered the money to buy land." ”

Shopkeeper Cai looked at the bag of Da Luo Jinjing on the table, and smiled slightly bitterly.."It's too much, it's too much, this kind of poor and remote place doesn't need so much." ”

"If you have a lot, you can buy a bar. ”

The two of them left in the tavern for a short time, for this matter, the shopkeeper Cai specially went to the west to meet the tea blacksmith once, the two of them looked stunned, and talked in the blacksmith shop for two hours, but there was no good way. Until the next day, there were two more wooden houses on the edge of the town.

After a period of time, the young man would occasionally come to drink, every time he came, the shopkeeper Cai would change to the best wine in the store to entertain him, and then he would frown, and asked the shopkeeper Cai to change to the kind of inferior wine that other people drank, this inferior wine he drank very happily, but the best wine in the store, he was like chewing wax, the shopkeeper Cai was very strange, but he didn't dare to ask him, until many years later, the shopkeeper Cai sat in this tavern again to know that a person drinking, whether the inner happiness or not, can no longer be measured by the quality of the wine......
