Chapter 42: Big Bell Town
"Knock!" "Knock!"
......
A beast cart was traveling along a wet mountain road that had just rained, and a voice from the beast cart said, "Little brother, it's not far from Dazhong Town?"
The little guy who was driving the beast cart looked up at the mountain in the distance, looked back and said respectfully: "Childe, it's not far away, there is still half an hour away at most." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Hmm!"
......
There was no sound in the cart.
......
Dazhong Town is a small town under the jurisdiction of Chunyangmen's sphere of influence, with a population of tens of thousands, because its geographical location is a necessary place for a trade route, so the town is prosperous in commerce, and all kinds of shops and inns are endless.
Whenever it rains, the bell keeper in the town will ring the big bell with rusty stains to drive away evil spirits for the people in the town.
Half an hour later.
"Gurgling ......", a beast cart travels on the gravel road of the town, and the wheel of the beast cart rubs against the gravel road where there is still water on the ground.
Finally, in front of an inn, the beast cart stopped.
A young man of twenty years old got out of the car, the young man looked ordinary, his body looked straight and strong, and he was extraordinarily slender.
This young man is Yang Fan.
It has been three days since he came out of the Pure Yang Gate, and the distance is so far that it is beyond Yang Fan's expectations.
Walk into the inn.
"Xiao Er, let's have a hot old chicken soup" Yang Fan sat at a table and beckoned to the dozing shopkeeper.
In such weather, it is really uncomfortable not to drink a bowl of hot soup.
"Okay! an old chicken soup!" the shopkeeper replied reflexively, shouting to the back kitchen with a sigh of relief.
Then he came over with a pot of hot water.
"Guest officer, it's just rained, the weather is humid, first drink a cup of hot water to warm up, the old chicken soup will be ready after a while" Xiao Er enthusiastically poured a cup of hot water on the table.
"It's hard work!" Yang Fan said.
There are only a few people in the whole inn, and on rainy days, it is most likely to make people feel sleepy.
"Guest officer, are you also going to participate in the auction held by the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce?"
The shopkeeper looked at Yang Fan's kind face, sat on the table bench next to him and said lazily.
Yang Fan took a sip of hot water, was slightly stunned, and said with some questions: "The auction held by the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, guest officer, aren't you here to participate in the auction?" The shopkeeper was a little curious, almost all the people who came to the store recently came to participate in this auction, but this guest officer didn't seem to know what the auction was like.
"Well, I'm just passing through here, not going to the auction," Yang Fan said, and he was indeed telling the truth.
"Oh! That's a pity, this auction is held by the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce, it is only held once in many years, and the location of each time is not fixed, this time it happens to be held near our big bell town, and there will be a lot of good things at that time, but it will be lively. The shopkeeper looked sorry and longing, but unfortunately he couldn't go by then, and the shopkeeper didn't give him a holiday.
Yang Fan didn't speak again.
After a while.
"Okay, guest officer, your old chicken soup is ready, please use it slowly!" The shopkeeper brought a bowl of steaming soup, which was filled with large pieces of soup and meat.
"Hmm!" Yang Fan nodded.
"Little Second Brother, half a month ago, a caravan disappeared after passing by Dazhong Town, have you ever heard of this?" Yang Fan scooped up the meat with a spoon and put it in his mouth to chew, and asked Xiao Er.
"I've heard about the caravan disappearing, it's been many years since this happened, and I've also heard that the caravan that disappeared this time is the caravan of the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce!" said the shopkeeper with a look of remembrance on his face.
"Oh, the caravan of the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce?" Xiao Er's words suddenly caught Yang Fan's attention.
Then, Yang Fan clenched his fists and asked sincerely: "Little Second Brother, what kind of organization is this Liuhe Chamber of Commerce?"
The shopkeeper sat on the bench on the side, and simply chatted with Yang Fan, anyway, there are not many customers now, and he has nothing to do.
"Guest officer, the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce is the name of six different caravans united, these six caravans are connected to the transportation and trading of countless materials in Kun China, in a word, the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce is rich and rivals the country!" said the shopkeeper Youyou, with a look of envy on his face.
Yang Fan also nodded, this is the first time he has heard these things, and he doesn't know much about many things here.
"Little brother, what do you think about the disappearance of the caravan?could it be that you have encountered some demon beasts or robbers?" Yang Fan asked again.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen a fool, and his face was questioning.
Yang Fan touched his head awkwardly and said with a smile: "Little second brother, is there anything wrong?"
The shopkeeper finally confirmed that the guest officer was not joking with him, and then said with a suspicious look: "Guest officer, these days, all the top two caravans have strong people in charge, not to mention the giant forces like the Liuhe Chamber of Commerce, which robber dares to rob their caravan, as for the demon beast, it is basically impossible, if a demon beast appears in our human territory, it will be discovered by the Heavenly Spirit Array at the first time, and that day the Heavenly Spirit Array did not raise an alarm at all, so no demon beasts appeared." ”
"Heavenly Spirit Array?" Yang Fan was surprised at this time, he had never heard of this thing at all.
The shopkeeper looked Yang Fan up and down, and felt that this was a normal person, so he spoke again: "Who in Kun Country doesn't know the Heavenly Spirit Array, as long as there is a demon beast appearing anywhere in Kun Kingdom, it will be discovered by the Heavenly Spirit Array as soon as possible, and it will be killed." The Heavenly Spirit Array is a formation arranged by the sages of the Kun Kingdom that covers the entire Kun Kingdom, which is controlled by the four major sects and has lasted for thousands of years. ”
This kind of thing is known to everyone in Kun China, how can anyone not know?
Yang Fan was really embarrassed now, he really hadn't heard of these things.
Yang Fan smiled uncomfortably and said, "What's that, brother, I've been practicing in the deep mountains, so I don't know these things, hehehehe......."
"What's that, little second brother, add a bowl of old chicken soup, your old chicken soup is delicious......" Yang Fan hurriedly opened his mouth to ask for a glance at the old chicken soup, otherwise it would be too uncomfortable to be stared at by the shopkeeper with strange eyes.
......
After eating two bowls of steaming old chicken soup, Yang Fan felt that his whole body was full of strength all of a sudden.
"Little second brother, settle the bill!" Yang Fan said.
"Guest officer, a total of eight silver coins!" Xiao Er said, but Yang Fan's eyes were still a little the same.
"Okay! give you ten! don't look for it!" Yang Fan generously took out the silver coins, and the extra two silver coins were used as tips for the shopkeeper.
"Ha! Thank you, the guest officer!" The shopkeeper suddenly became happy, with a smile on his face and enthusiasm haha, for the little er, the generous guest officer is always so beautiful.
After settling the bill, Yang Fan walked out of the inn, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Let's go to the auction for two days first!"
