Chapter 10: Fat Sheep
Anyang City, Beishi Street, a slightly shady grocery store. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's a small shop in an alley, small in size, and mainly sells elementary talismans, various "advanced cultivation techniques", and some weird-looking small magic weapons.
Business is good and bad, sometimes you can see many people coming in and out, and sometimes you don't see a single person all day.
The shopkeeper is a slumped little old man, who looks very old, with cloudy eyes, and likes to take two sips from time to time, and many times he looks drunk.
Walking and swaying, it seems like he is about to fall down at any moment!
This small shop has been open for many years, to say the least it has a history of several decades, and the suspicious thing is that the old man is still the same old man in these decades, and his appearance has not changed at all.
Privately, there are some cultivators who love to watch the excitement and bet when this boss will be completely old.
Of course, this is just a joke of those who don't know the depths, in the eyes of some people, this little shop is a veritable devil's cave, the kind that eats people without spitting out bones!
With respect on his face, Liu Yuan came to the outside of this small shop with extremely slight steps, and did not speak, respectfully on the half-open door panel at the door, knocked out a few strange rhythms with his hands, waited for a while, and then gently pushed the door in.
The shop is not very well lit, and there are several old cabinets with some talismans, old books, and some utensils of unknown use.
Eerie, with a bit of an eerie aura.
The shopkeeper was lying on a chaise longue with half-squinted eyes, his expression was peaceful.
It seems that he didn't see Liu Yuan walking in.
Through the not very sufficient light, it can be seen that Liu Yuan is not the old man who talked to Jiangcheng in Beishi that day.
At this moment, as if flattering, he stood beside the old man with a respectful face!
For some reason, he came to this little shop, and seemed to be very respectful to the old man.
Liu Yuan is a cultivator in the middle stage of condensation, although he is just a minor monk with a low cultivation, and he is not a big character, but he has been mixed in the North Market for decades, and he is quite a little famous, and it is rare to see him so respectful to others.
And the object of respect is a seemingly ordinary little old man, and everything in front of him looks extremely strange.
"I don't know if Zhang Lao has ever found out that kid's bottom line?" Liu Yuan bowed his head and hunched his waist, and his attitude was extremely humble.
He's been in the North Market for years, and he's smart enough to know what to do.
It's like the old man in front of you.
He doesn't look like he looks old, but the blood under his hands is innumerable!
This grocery store was opened by the old man, and it was specially used to sell all kinds of news.
As long as you pay the starting price, any news can be collected for you! It is a little famous in the underground world of Anyang City.
"You know the rules!"
The old man lay on the recliner, did not open his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly spit out a sentence!
"Please also ask Mr. Zhang to smile!" Holding a storage bag in both hands, he respectfully handed it to the old man, squeezing out a flattering smile on his face.
The old man opened his eyes, glanced at them, and spat out a long sentence "not enough".
"Mr. Zhang, I am also a small family doing some small business, please forgive me!"
Liu Yuan's head was sweating, his hands began to tremble, there were fifty lower-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, and with his current value, it was really bleeding!
"Jiang Cheng, a student of the Great Xia Academy, was dropped out of school half a month ago, refining the body of the Seven Heavens Cultivation, his parents are suspected of being dead, he is alone, and there are no relatives in Anyang City!"
The old man closed his eyes again, opened his mouth slightly, and told the background of this Jiangcheng completely.
If Jiang Cheng is here, I'm afraid I'm going to be scared.
From yesterday's murder to now, in just a few hours, this old man has investigated his details in such a short period of time, and this ability is really amazing.
"The little sheep you are targeting, I'm afraid it's a little oily and watery, with no background, low strength, and shit luck, this kind of good thing can also happen to you!"
The old man finally opened his eyes, and the old eyes were long gone, and there was only ferocity and greed in them, like a tiger trying to eat people.
"I want half the benefits!"
In the North Market, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and underground practitioners call these suitable targets sheep!
Liu Yuan's hands trembled, and he tried to argue: "Old Zhang, this kid is my first target, so afraid of not following the rules!"
"When you hear my news, don't you dare to give me spirit stones?"
"Rules, rules, are you worthy of telling me the rules?"
Liu Yuan, his face was like earth, he bit his mouth tightly, and his face was tangled.
"In this way, let's do what Zhang Lao said!"
Looking at the storage bag in his hand, there were fifty spirit stones in it, which was used to buy news, and after hesitating for a moment, he still respectfully handed it to the old man!
I didn't see the old man stretch out his hand, the storage bag disappeared in an instant, the old man didn't speak anymore, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the chaise longue shook again.
Liu Yuan, seeing that he was not surprised, bowed respectfully, and then turned to leave.
Since the middle-aged man sent to keep an eye on him disappeared last night, he felt that something might have gone wrong, and he, who was cautious by nature, came to this shop to buy news!
The underground world naturally has rules, if you provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, the consequences are far from being borne by Liu Yuan!
"It's all to blame on this little cub, why did you let me rob it uneasily, why did you resist!"
Thinking of that half of the harvest was about to be pumped away raw, his heart twitched!
"But it's okay, I won't have any worries if I inquire about this kid's details, and I can still make a lot of money in this business!"
Where there is light, there is darkness, and the underground world of Anyang City is mixed with dragons, killing people and robbing goods, this is the most common! Kill you, rob you, what, as long as you are not targeted by the people of the God of War Temple, there is nothing!
Liu Yuan's strength is low, and he is not young, he has no ambitions, and he usually relies on that kind face to do some tricks and abductions. But if he comes across the right fat sheep, he won't mind having a fight.
Right now, Jiang Cheng is the fat sheep he is eyeing at him, and for him, Jiang Cheng's spirit stone is easy to get.
............
"My Brave Heart?"
The sea of knowledge has been opened, and the soul has condensed into an entity, igniting the fire of the soul!
Jiang Cheng felt that his perception of the world was completely different, and the most obvious change was that he could barely release his spiritual power outside his body before, but this has completely changed into divine consciousness!
Within a radius of ten zhang, this is the current detection range of his divine sense, within ten zhang, his divine sense can be detected!
At the same time, his intuition, his sixth sense, has also been strengthened!
You must know that divine sense, this can only be cultivated by masters of the innate realm!
But through cultivating the Dao nerve, he condensed it all at once, and this nerve was so wonderful that even the inner demon could manifest and turn into his own shadow.
In the cognition of cultivators, the inner demons are shadowless and formless, and they are originally nothing.
Jiang Cheng's inner demon was turned into his shadow and became his two-sided existence.
"Am I really cowardly, am I cowardly?"
"Should I retreat, or should I go forward?"
A new day has begun, and the sun slowly rises in the distance, sprinkling patches of golden color, warm, gorgeous, and magnificent.
It brought new hope to the earth.
Standing in the courtyard, facing the rising sun, Jiang Cheng's mind echoed over and over again the questions raised by the demons.
Did the man who had malicious intentions towards him really make him desperate? Was he really invincible?
Jiang Cheng's eyes showed a hint of firmness, and he raised his head and looked directly at the sun
"There is nothing to fear from the enemy, no matter how powerful the enemy is, he will be defeated, but if I don't have the courage to face the enemy head-on, so that I will not be able to be a real strong person for the rest of my life"
"What is a strong man? Rise in despair, fight in adversity, and grow in failure!"
"Such talents are truly strong, they will not be afraid of challenges, and will do everything possible to overcome difficulties!
"Then become a strong man, start now!"
