Chapter 132: The Sheepskin Map
"Senior brother, I don't feel sleepy yet, I can't sleep anyway, so I'll practice first. Lin Xu smiled at Li Shiwei, feeling a little weak. Although it is not too far from the medicine valley to Qianbingzhen, they have also traveled all day, and it is obviously false to say that they are not tired or sleepy.
As soon as Lin Xu finished speaking, he immediately couldn't help but yawn, and exhaustion was obviously written on his face.
"Senior brother, you are really hard at cultivating enough, no wonder you are so young and your cultivation is so high. I do admire you, but after all, people are not iron, and only when they know how to rest can they cultivate better. Li Shiwei knew that Lin Xu had been worrying about not being able to break through the Sword Spirit Realm recently, so he kindly persuaded him.
"Okay, I see, thank you for your concern. Lin Xu smiled and thanked Li Shiwei for his concern and kindness.
"Hehe, you're polite to me again. Hurry up and rest, I'll go outside first to see if anything is out of the ordinary. Li Shiwei didn't forget that he still had to keep vigil for everyone, and walked out of the guest room after speaking.
Lin Xuan lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts, and couldn't sleep for a long time. What he was thinking about now was not about his own cultivation, but about Li Shiwei's care and love for him.
Since crossing over to the Heavenly Sword Continent, except for the time spent with his old father Lin De in the Shenghua Empire, Lin Xuan no longer felt the warmth of being cared for.
And in the last two months, that is, after Lin Xu joined the Thousand Ice Sword Sect and came to the Medicine Valley, after meeting Li Shiwei, Li Shiwei's careful care for him made him very moved. This also became a motivation for him to cultivate hard.
Because he felt that only by improving his cultivation as soon as possible and becoming stronger could he have greater strength to protect his brothers and friends who were good to him, and to help them improve their lives and live a good life.
The next morning, after Lin Xu and his party of five had breakfast, Zhou Mengfeng proposed to go to Qianbingzhen's market to take a walk, take a look, and buy some things for entering the mountain by the way.
Lin Xu, Leopard Print, and Wang Lung all immediately agreed. They also want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the town. Only Li Shiwei didn't have much interest in this, because he had been to Qianbingzhen many times before, and he was very familiar with this town, and it didn't feel as fresh as Lin Xu and the others.
Li Shiwei stayed all night last night, and now he is indeed a little sleepy. He happened to take advantage of the time when Lin Xuan and the others went out to sleep well and make up for sleep. Now in broad daylight, it is estimated that there will be no thieves and other villains to interfere.
So, Li Shiwei said to Lin Xu and the others: "You young people go out to play together, I'll stay in the inn and sleep first." When you come back, just call me. ”
Lin Xu knew Li Shiwei's hard work, so he immediately promised him: "Okay, senior brother, you can just rest." I'll naturally buy the stuff for you to use in the mountains. ”
Lin Xu and the others came to the market in Qianbingzhen and found that there were quite a lot of people, and it was very lively. However, Lin Xu could see that there were mostly outsiders here, and there was not much population in a small town, but its geographical location was special, and it was the only way to enter the Thousand Ice Mountains, so that people from all over the world gathered here.
Lin Xu and his entourage, three men and one woman, only Zhou Mengfeng is a girl, and she is still a beautiful and beautiful girl, which naturally attracts the attention of passers-by. When people pass by Zhou Mengfeng's side, they often can't help but turn around and look twice.
It's not just strangers passing by who think Zhou Mengfeng is beautiful, even Lin Xu thinks that she has become more handsome and charming than when he first met her. Especially Zhou Mengfeng is wearing a beautiful red dress, with a pair of big and round eyes, she is indeed very delicate and beautiful.
Lin Xu couldn't help but feel very angry when he saw some ill-intentioned men among the passers-by staring at Zhou Mengfeng, and immediately glared back, and finally scared the other party away with his non-angry and self-righteous momentum.
The purpose of Lin Xu's trip was to go into the mountains for trials, but he didn't want to make trouble, but if he really encountered trouble, he would not be afraid, and he would definitely face it bravely.
However, in the face of such an eye-catching beautiful girl, Lin Xu couldn't help but sigh and whispered: "A beautiful girl is easy to cause trouble. The ancients had clouds, red faces and bad waters, and it was really so!"
Although Lin Xu's voice was not loud, and it was not aimed at Zhou Mengfeng, and he did not mean to complain about her, Zhou Mengfeng's ears were sharp and smart, and when he heard Lin Xu's words, he still couldn't help but have a barbaric temper, and felt very dissatisfied with Lin Xu.
"Lin Xu, you are really talking nonsense, I didn't cause trouble. Zhou Mengfeng glared at Lin Xu fiercely, and couldn't help but raise his little fist to hit Lin Xu's arm.
But she hit very lightly, and she didn't use force at all, in the eyes of Leopard Print and Wang Long, she was undoubtedly flirting with Lin Xu. Both of them could see that Zhou Mengfeng was indeed a little interesting to Lin Xu. They couldn't help but secretly admire Lin Xu's peach blossom luck.
"Okay, Miss Mengfeng, I didn't mean you. I mean, those beautiful girls are the woe, you're not. Lin said to Zhou Mengfeng with a smile. But he didn't expect that in this way, Zhou Mengfeng could still find his fault, and he didn't plan to let him go.
"Hmph, then you mean to say that this girl is not beautiful enough, right?" Zhou Mengfeng asked Lin Xudao with a cold snort. Her fists were raised again at the same time, ready to hit Lin Xu.
"No! no!" Lin Xuan hurriedly denied it, worried that Zhou Mengfeng's fist would come to him again, so he had to coax her and say: "You are an exception, you are beautiful and good-looking, and you are not a disaster." ”
Lin Xu's coaxing finally made Zhou Mengfeng happy again and stopped messing around.
At this time, he happened to pass by a shop, and Lin Xu saw that there were all kinds of ancient bamboo slips for sale in the store, as well as brand-new paper books, so he planned to go in and have a look.
"Let's go in and see if there are any books and maps for sale about the Thousand Ice Mountains. Lin Xuan said to his friends around him, and he had already walked into the store first.
Zhou Mengfeng and Leopard Wang Long also hurriedly followed Lin Xu and walked in. They also felt that if they could buy a map of the Thousand Ice Mountains, it would undoubtedly be of great help to them after entering the mountain. With the map, at least you don't have to worry about getting lost. Even if you don't have a map, even if you buy some books detailing the Thousand Ice Mountains, that's not bad.
After all, not only Lin Xuan and Leopard Wang Long, who had just joined the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, had never entered the Thousand Ice Mountain Range, but even Zhou Mengfeng and Li Shiwei, who had long been disciples of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect.
The eldest Li Shiwei had only been to Qianbing Town before, but he had a daunting fear of the Qianbing Mountain Range. If it weren't for Lin Xu's kind invitation this time, and he knew that Lin Xu's martial arts cultivation was very strong, he wouldn't have agreed to come.
There are indeed maps of the Thousand Ice Mountains for sale in the store, which are drawn by some predecessors from memory after they came out of the mountain, and later revised many times, so they should be more detailed. However, no one has written a book about the Thousand Ice Mountains yet, so there are no books on this subject for sale.
For Lin Xu and others, the map is the most important thing, as long as there is a map, it is enough. There are two kinds of maps in the shop, one on paper and the other on sheepskin. Paper maps are obviously inconvenient to keep, and will break when exposed to water, but the price is cheaper, while sheepskin maps are much more durable, even if they are wet by rain, they will not break, but the price will naturally be more expensive.
Lin Xuan estimated that after entering the Thousand Ice Mountain Range, he might definitely encounter rainy days, and even there would be unmelted ice on the mountain, so it was better to buy sheepskin map insurance.
The shopkeeper's offer was sixty gold coins for a sheepskin map. Although Lin Xu felt that it was a bit expensive, he still bought it at this price, and he didn't bargain. Fortunately, what Lin Xuan didn't expect, Zhou Mengfeng thought of.
When Lin Xuan was about to take out the gold coin, Zhou Mengfeng stopped her in time and said, "Lin Xu, you wait a minute." This map shouldn't be so expensive. ”
Immediately, Zhou Mengfeng said to the shopkeeper: "Sixty gold coins is too expensive, let's be cheaper." ”
"Fifty gold coins!" The shopkeeper immediately took the initiative to reduce ten gold coins.
"It's still expensive!" Zhou Mengfeng directly counteroffered: "Thirty gold coins! If you sell it, we will buy it." Otherwise, we'll go to another store and buy it. ”
When Lin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. Zhou Mengfeng really dared to bargain, and directly cut off half of it, and the owner of the shop may not be willing to sell it. Besides, other stores don't necessarily have this kind of parchment map for sale.
While Lin Xuan was worried, the shopkeeper was also calculating. He was obviously afraid that the business would not work out. Because Zhou Mengfeng had already made his attitude clear just now, if he was unwilling to sell it at the price of thirty gold coins, then she would leave directly with Lin Xu and the others.
In the end, the shopkeeper surrendered. He smiled and said to Zhou Mengfeng: "Little girl, you are really shrewd, just thirty gold coins." ”
Lin Xu finally spent half of the gold coins less, and bought the sheepskin map. After walking out of the store, he couldn't help but praise Zhou Mengfeng and said, "Miss Mengfeng, you are still smart, and you saved me thirty gold coins at once." ”
"Of course, how can I be as stupid as you?" Zhou Mengfeng gave Lin Xu a roll of his eyes and deliberately laughed at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu didn't expect that he praised Zhou Mengfeng, but in exchange for the other party's ridicule, this girl's heart is really hard to touch. He's still less troublesome.
Lin Xu didn't want to quarrel with Zhou Mengfeng, so he opened the sheepskin map he had just bought to inspect it, and saw that the map was really drawn in great detail. In addition to the main peak of the Thousand Ice Mountain Range, some other small peaks, as well as some paths on the mountain, are also marked in detail and can be seen at a glance.
In addition, the map actually includes a map of the distribution of various magical beasts on the Thousand Ice Mountains, which area is most often infested with which magical beasts, and also gives a detailed explanation. This is undoubtedly the greatest help for cultivators who are entering the mountain for the first time.
