Chapter 3 Seven Shops
In class, the teacher kept explaining on it, and Li Yichen kept sitting cross-legged in his seat, his eyes slightly closed, and his five hearts were facing the yuan, running the five elements of the mind. Absorbing the elements of the outside world again and again, indulging in his own cultivation world, and turning a deaf ear to the outside sounds.
In the world of cultivation, I felt that time flew by, and it was soon time to get out of school. After the teacher announced that class was over and left the classroom, Li Yichen stood up, moved his sedentary feet a little, and walked out quickly. walked along the crowd after school to the outside of the college, and when he was about to reach the gate of the college, he saw Li Xinyuan pulling a girl from a distance and walking from the opposite side. After seeing Li Yichen, Li Xinyuan waved her hand and shouted loudly:
"Brother, we're here. ”
Hearing Li Xinyuan's shout, Li Yichen ignored the strange gaze of the student next to him, and hurriedly stepped forward.
Walking in front of the two, before stopping, Li Xinyuan hugged Li Yichen's right arm tightly with both hands and said coquettishly:
"Brother, why are you so slow, Cousin Yin and I have been waiting for you for a long time, you see that Cousin Yin is tired of waiting. Cousin Yin lives in our house today. ”
"I'm really sorry, the teacher got out of class a little late just now, so he came late, and my cousin is also waiting here. Let's go, then. ”
"Cousin, we just got out of class too. ”
The girl next to her replied in a low voice.
This girl is about fourteen years old, with the long hair of the shawl scattered behind her back, thin willow eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a slightly green melon seed face, this is Li Yichen's cousin named Yin Junyu, her grandmother and Li Yichen's grandmother are sisters. Because of their similar age, the three brothers and sisters have often played together since they were children, so their relationship is very good. Yin Junyu is now also the sixth level of cultivation the day after tomorrow, and he is in the same grade as Li Xinyuan. The surname Yin was originally the national surname of the Great Shang Dynasty, but later due to the destruction of the Great Shang Dynasty, Yin Junyu's ancestors came to Tangjiang incognito. With the passage of time, the original surname began to be restored.
"That's right, brother, tomorrow Cousin Yin and I are going to Wuwuling to participate in a ten-day experience, wait for us to go buy something first, and then go back." ”
Li Xinyuan said while holding Li Yichen's right arm.
Wuwuling is a big mountain in the south of the Tangjiang River, not far from the Zhong family, it is the periphery of Longtan, and is composed of five peaks, because each peak looks a bit like the roof of a house, so it is called Wuwuling. The grass and trees in Wuwuling are luxuriant, and there are some places where there is no sunlight all year round, and there are not only all kinds of demonic beasts and poisonous insects living in it, but also all kinds of poisonous miasma often appear, and ordinary people dare not enter it at all. Every morning, when the sun rises, a faint mist rises over Wuwuling, and the five mountain peaks loom in the fog. Legend has it that due to the limitations of the Heavenly Dao, the fierce beasts in the entire Wuwuling will not break out, and even the occasional ones that come out are also acquired magical beasts, which is not very harmful. In Wuwuling, the lower the level of the outer demonic beasts, the further inside, the higher the level of the demonic beasts, not only the demonic beasts that are equivalent to the heavenly masters, it is said that on the top of each of the five peaks, there is also a holy beast that surpasses the peak of the human heavenly rank and reaches the holy level. Because the whole body of these demonic beasts can be used, like some low-level demonic beasts fur can be used to make leather, meat can be edible, and the heavenly demonic beasts have condensed the core, which is composed of pure energy, not only can the human body absorb, but also can be used as energy.
Every year, Tangjiang College requires senior students to go to the periphery of Wuwuling for training, and then grade each student according to their performance.
Although every time you experience Tangjiang Academy, there are teachers to lead the team, but there are dangers in Wuwuling not only the demonic beasts that are rampant, but also all kinds of sinister environments, miasma, quicksand, ancient forbidden places may bring danger, and even a small plant may kill people. These are not the most dangerous, the most dangerous is the mercenaries who come to Wuwuling to find all kinds of natural treasures, these mercenaries who lick blood from the knife edge see that the lone person is not only seeking money, but also killing, anyway, Wuwuling is full of demonic beasts, killing people, burying them does not need to be buried, it will not be long before those demonic beasts that smell blood will swarm, and after a while, the corpse will become the rations of the demonic beasts.
The three of them did not go home directly after leaving the school gate, but walked directly to the market along the main road on the right. Although it was already afternoon, there were still a lot of people walking in the direction of the market. On both sides of the road are some small stalls and vendors and nearby villagers set up stalls, some put the goods on the table to sell, some are directly put the goods on the car to sell, and some are the nearby villagers at a glance, put the basket they picked up on the side of the road, put some vegetables they grow or some prey they have hit, and then squat on the side, waiting for others to inquire about the price.
Every Monday, Thursday and July is the polder market in Tangjiang, and at this time, the surrounding villagers and even some traders come to Tangjiang to catch the market, and the residents of the town also like to buy some necessities of life in the polder market. By noon, the market was crowded with noisy crowds, shouting and haggling.
The three of them walked in the direction of the market for about a quarter of an hour, only to see a seven-story building on the side of the road, about ten zhang high, and the entire exterior wall was made of carefully fired green bricks. Each brick is carefully sanded to be smooth and flat. The bricks of the entire building are tightly bonded to each other, and there are almost no gaps in sight. There is a huge horizontal plaque hanging on the lintel, on which there are three large inlaid gold characters - Seven Shops. The shopkeeper is called Lu Pengfei, and this shop was left by his ancestors. At that time, Lu Pengfei's grandfather's lifelong wish was to open seven stores in the entire Tangjiang Town, but because he didn't have so much money, he had to buy a small store on the street and named it Qijiandian. After several generations of hard work and continuous expansion, the small store at that time has occupied most of the street, but it is still the only one in the whole of Tangjiang. The signboard is still called Seven Shops.
When you enter the gate, you will be greeted by a large hall. The innermost part of the hall is a staircase leading to the second floor, where two rows of counters are neatly arranged in a semicircle against the wall, behind which all the guys stand. Although there were several groups of customers standing in the hall, the whole hall still seemed very empty, and there was no feeling of crowding.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw a young man in Tsing Yi coming over, walked to the three of them and stopped, bowed his waist down slightly, showed a standard smile on his face, and asked in a slightly magnetic voice:
"What do you need to do? Within a radius of 100 miles, all the products in our seven stores are the most complete. From the heavenly master to the human level, whether it is an elixir or a weapon, as long as you have needs, the small shop can meet you. ”
Although seeing that Li Yichen and the three of them were not very old, and they were dressed ordinarily, the guys in the store also quickly responded enthusiastically. Although the attitude is more enthusiastic, there is also a hint of arrogance between the words.
Seeing the guy in front of him, Li Yichen not only secretly praised it, but also deserved to be the largest store in the entire Tangjiang Town, and even a small guy had a certain amount of arrogance.
Li Yichen listened to this guy's words, smiled slightly, and was about to speak. At this time, Li Xinyuan took out a folded note from her arms, handed it to the guy with her hand, and said:
"And thou shalt give me two copies of each of the things that are locked in this list. ”
The little guy took Li Xinyuan's note and unfolded it, the note only said some ordinary trauma drugs and some insecticide and insect control drugs in the wild, so he bowed his waist slightly, pointed to the pill area with his right hand and said:
"Three of you, please move and come this way. What you need, I'll get it ready, so please wait a moment. ”
The three of them followed the guy to the pill area and walked to the counter. The young man in Tsing Yi handed the note in his hand to the guy at the counter and said:
"Hurry up and prepare these medicines according to the requirements of these three distinguished guests. ”
The man unfolded the note, glanced at it with his eyes, and then laid it flat on the counter, then turned around, opened the drawer in front of him, and quickly sorted out the drugs according to the list and placed them on the counter.
After a while, the required drugs were sorted out according to the requirements and placed neatly on the counter. The guy gently folded the note on the counter, and then packed it in a bag with the medicine on the counter, bent his waist slightly, respectfully handed over the bag with both hands, and said politely:
"Guest, this is the medicine you need, a total of one or two dollars of silver. ”
Li Yichen took the bag, then took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to the guy. The guy took the silver, padd it with his hand, then took out a pair of scissors from the counter, cut out one or two taels of silver and put it on the counter, and then returned the remaining silver to Li Yichen.
Li Yichen put the returned silver into his arms, tidied up his clothes, and then turned his head to Li Xinyuan and Yin Junyu and said:
"Do you have anything else to buy? If not, we'll go back first, and grandma will be ready to cook when we go back." ”
"Brother, shall we go back later? You can accompany me and Cousin Yin to hang out again, okay?"
Li Xinyuan pulled Li Yichen's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"Alright then, let's go shopping for a while and then go back. ”
Li Yichen looked at Li Xinyuan and said helplessly, his eyes full of love.
