Chapter 7: The Shark's Gills

"Suyin, come here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Bai Xiaolou returned to the room, took out the jade bait he got last night, and handed one to Su Yin.

"Young Master, what is this?"

Su Yin looked at the jade bait in her hand and was stunned.

"This is jade bait. Let's eat it for breakfast. ”

Bai Xiaolou also took one himself, put it in his mouth and took a bite, "Well, it tastes good." You can eat it too. Eat it, eat it, it's delicious. ”

"Jade bait?"

Su Yin exclaimed, her hand shook, and she almost dropped the jade bait in her hand, "Young master, this is jade bait, where did such a valuable thing come from?"

"Hehe, you just don't care. What is this jade bait, young master, I have a lot of ability. Eat it. ”

Bai Xiaolou smiled and continued to nibble on the jade bait in his hand.

"I ...... I ......"

Su Yin looked at the jade bait in her hand, and was a little stunned, "Young master, it's too wasteful for me to eat such a valuable thing, so let's keep it for you, young master." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, let's eat it. There's a lot more over there. You are weak, and eating this thing is good for you. Well, there's still a bag of spiritual rice, you can put it away later. ”

Bai Xiaolou waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Oh. ”

Su Yin glanced up at Bai Xiaolou, and suddenly felt that the young master in front of her seemed to be a little incomprehensible.

After having breakfast with Su Yin, Bai Xiaolou walked out of the house.

Along the bluestone street in the dock area, Bai Xiaolou walked all the way through the streets and alleys to Dongcheng District.

Liangcheng Dongcheng District is commonly known as the "noble area", this urban area concentrates Liangcheng's county government, Jinxian Division, Liangcheng Wei, Liangcheng Academy, Liangcheng Post House and other institutions as well as various scholars.

There is also a need for communication between scholars, so there are many shops selling cultivation items in Dongcheng District. The purpose of Bai Xiaolou's trip was to buy the potions or talismans needed to enter the water in the store.

Traveling all the way, Bai Xiaolou arrived in Dongcheng District soon after.

Compared with other urban areas, Dongcheng District has obvious differences. The road is wide enough to carry four horse-drawn carriages in parallel, and the road surface is smooth and clean. Even in winter, the roads are lined with evergreen trees. The houses on the side of the road are all heavy eaves and vertical arches, splendid glaze. The mansion of the famous family is the Zhumen embroidered household, carved beams and painted buildings.

"The noble area really lives up to its name. ”

Bai Xiaolou saw the situation in front of him and nodded in admiration.

Although the Bai family is also a scholar family, it is only a poor family, and it is still incomparable with these famous scholars, so Dongcheng District is still not qualified to live in.

Moving along the road, Bai Xiaolou looked for a shop to buy a water-repellent talisman as he walked.

"Huh?"

While he was walking, Bai Xiaolou suddenly felt shocked.

There was a loud "boom" in his mind, and there was a trance in front of him, as if he saw a huge mountain range suddenly appearing in front of him, overwhelming. Among the mountains, there are many lofty mountains, steep mountains standing, high cliffs are facing each other, and dangerous peaks are abrupt.

Beneath the mountain range, a mighty river rushes endlessly, with angry tides rolling and huge waves raging.

The weather of this mountain and river is monstrous, and Bai Xiaolou feels that he will be crushed by this mountain and river at any time.

"It's ...... What's going on?"

Bai Xiaolou's face was full of horror, his heart fluttered wildly, and he shook his head heavily, but the scenery of mountains and rivers in front of him suddenly disappeared like an illusion.

Then, Bai Xiaolou saw an oncoming carriage.

It's a gorgeous carriage.

The carriage made of fragrant nan wood is lit up with a metallic luster, and a refreshing fragrance can be smelled from afar. The carriage is carved and painted on all sides, gorgeous and dazzling, and the bright yellow jewels of more than three feet long hang down from the huge umbrella cover on the top of the carriage, and the South China Sea shark beads dotted among them faintly resound bursts of music.

Two horses pulling a cart, but when they looked closely, they were not horses at all, but two barges.

The barge beast, shaped like a horse, has a white body and a black tail, has a horn on its head, is full of sharp teeth, has four legs as claws, and has a sound like a drum, and feeds on tigers and leopards.

Da Chu Law, "The beast Nancha is not allowed to be taken by non-scholars." Youyun: "The Son of Heaven drives six, the prince drives four, the family drives three, and the scholar drives two." ”

Therefore, the Nan chariot pulled up by the two barge beasts in front of him, according to the regulations, is obviously driven by the scholar clan.

Of course, ordinary scholars can't afford to buy such a car, and if they can have such a car, at least they are all famous scholars.

"Is the scene of the mountains and rivers I saw just now related to the driving of this car? The people in the car actually gave birth to such an atmosphere? What kind of cultivation is this?"

Thinking of the scene of mountains and rivers that could crush him at any time, Bai Xiaolou felt a burst of fear in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out behind him.

Fortunately, the car drove past Bai Xiaolou without the slightest pause and without any accidents.

"What kind of power is this? It's so powerful! My little strength, in the face of this force, is like an ant. It's so strong. ”

Turning his head to look at the driving car, Bai Xiaolou exhaled with palpitations.

After collecting his thoughts, Bai Xiaolou continued to move forward.

However, Bai Xiaolou didn't know that after staggering past him, the people in the carriage also looked terrified.

In the car is a beautiful girl, with crystal skin like ice and snow, like Roselle out of the water.

At this moment, this girl who was as bright as the moon and beautiful as a lotus opened the car curtain and looked at Bai Xiaolou's departing back in shock, her face was full of disbelief.

"Uncle Gu, you can check the details of that young man for me. ”

"This boy just now?"

The brown-robed emperor who was driving slowed down the car, turned his head and glanced at Bai Xiaolou's figure, "Miss, this person is very ordinary?"

"Ordinary, Uncle Gu, this person is definitely not an ordinary person. ”

The girl frowned, stretched out her hand and pressed her heart, "Uncle Gu, when he passed by just now, the 'danger of mountains and rivers' actually gave birth to an induction. He actually triggered the 'danger of mountains and rivers', Uncle Gu, do you know what this means?"

"What?"

The emperor was shocked, and his face was shocked, "Miss...... This...... How is this possible?"

"Yes, how is that possible? So, find him and find out where he came from. ”

"Hmm!"

The Emperor nodded solemnly.

Bai Xiaolou didn't know that he had attracted the attention of some people, and he walked into a shop.

It's a small shop with a simple dΓ©cor.

It can't be compared to the splendid shop not far away. But what Bai Xiaolou needs is just such a small shop. After all, what he asked for was not rare.

Walking into the store, the owner was a teenager about the same age as Bai Xiaolou. The boy looked a little unkempt, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were untidy, and there were patches of stains on it.

It seems that the business of this shop is not very good, but after Bai Xiaolou came in, the young man didn't notice it at all, and he kept burying his head and fiddling with something.

The boy sat in front of a desk with all kinds of flowers, plants, ores and metals. On a piece of rice paper spread out, the boy was writing and drawing with his head buried in his head. Bai Xiaolou glanced at it and found that there were a bunch of inexplicable line symbols drawn on the paper.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaolou knew that he had come to the right place.

"Hey, business is here!"

Bai Xiaolou knocked on the counter and greeted the young man.

"Huh? What ......?"

The young man raised his head, looked at Bai Xiaolou with confused eyes, and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, "Oh, oh, hello guest officer." What do you want......"

"Fangshi?"

Bai Xiaolou interrupted the young man's words and pointed to the desk in front of the young man and asked.

"Hehe, yes!"

The young man smiled, got up and walked in front of Bai Xiaolou.

"I want a water avoidance charm or a potion, do I?"

"This ......"

The young man touched his head in embarrassment, "Water Avoidance Talisman and Water Avoidance Dan Fang...... I didn't even learn ......."

"Oh!"

Bai Xiaolou nodded, turned around and left.

"Hey, wait, wait, wait, officer, I'm not done yet. ”

When the young man saw that Bai Xiaolou was leaving, he hurriedly stopped.

"Huh?"

Bai Xiaolou stopped and turned his head to look at the young man, "Say it!"

"That, the guest officer bought these water avoidance talismans because he wanted to go into the water, right?"

β€œ......”

Bai Xiaolou glanced at the young man speechlessly, this question still needs to be asked, why don't you go into the water to buy these?

"Ahem!"

The young man also realized that he was a little silly when he said this, coughed dryly a few times, and continued: "Guest officer, if you want to go into the water, why do you have to avoid the water?"

"Huh, are you kidding me?"

Bai Xiaolou shook his head, looking at the young man as if he was looking at an idiot, "Why do you have to avoid water when you go into the water? I'm not a fish, I'll drown if I don't avoid water!"

"yes, that's it. Why can't a fish drown in the water, but a man do......es?

"Alright, alright, I don't have time to tell you this. ”

Bai Xiaolou shook his head and walked towards the door.

"Hey, wait, wait, I haven't finished speaking, why are you leaving? Why are you in such a hurry, you know......"

"That's it!"

Bai Xiaolou waved his hand and interrupted the young man's words, "I'm busy, I don't have time to talk to you." Something to say. ”

"I have something to go into the water. ”

"Huh?"

Bai Xiaolou turned around and stared at the young man for a while, "Something? not a talisman? not a potion, but a thing, something?"

"Good stuff. ”

The boy smiled mysteriously, "Follow me." ”

Bai Xiaolou was already a little curious. It's not a talisman or a potion, but this young man still has treasures like water-repellent beads in his hands?

Come to the back hall.

The young man stood in front of a cabinet, turned around, pointed to the cabinet, like a child showing off the candy in his hand, and said to Bai Xiaolou: "The things you want are here." Do you know why people drown in water and fish don't? The reason is simple, because people can't breathe in water, but fish can breathe in water. So I thought, if people can breathe in water like fish......"

As he spoke, the young man opened the cabinet and brought out a two-foot square glass jar from inside. The vat contained a basin of pale green liquid, soaked in a white film.

"It's ...... What's that?"

Seeing this mass of things, Bai Xiaolou was disappointed.

"The cheeks of the merman. ”

The young man took out the film from the tank and handed it to Bai Xiaolou, "Here you go." With this thing on your head, you can swim underwater like a mermaid without any problems entering the water. I've tried it many times. ”

"The cheeks of the merman?"

Bai Xiaolou took the merman's cheek, took it in his hand and looked at it, "Okay, I hope it's like you said." How much does this stuff cost?"

"Huh!"

The young man laughed dryly, and said in a somewhat expectant manner: "One ...... One thousand gold. ”

"What?"

Bai Xiaolou's hand shook, and he almost dropped the merman's cheeks to the ground, "This thing costs a thousand gold? Are you kidding?"

"It's very little, even the material money is more than a thousand gold, and I'm already losing money. ”

The boy grunted.

"I ......"

Bai Xiaolou was speechless, "I'll buy a water amulet, the cheaper one is less than 100 gold, and there is no obstacle to entering the water within three hours." But you need a thousand gold for this thing. It's just in the water, who would spend so much money to buy this thing from you? You open a shop and sell this thing? No wonder you don't have much business. ”

"I'm just doing this for fun. I just wanted to study it and see if people could breathe in the water like fish. That's what I'm getting so far. ”

The boy looked proud of his research results.

"It's not practical! Interest, you've spent a lot of money for this interest, right?"

Bai Xiaolou shook his head with a smile, "I don't even know what to say about you." You're such a loser, and your father hasn't killed you yet?"

"I ...... I've been kicked out by my dad. ”

"Poof!"

Bai Xiaolou couldn't help but laugh.
