Chapter 109: Half an Hourglass
The second volume of the Demon and Evil Troubled Times, Chapter 109, half an hourglass
"Huxian Spirit Detective" Tu Tian is centered on himself and radiates to within ten zhang of his body, so that Tu Tian does not have to walk to the stalls one by one, and he can 'see' various items on both sides of the street through the "Huxian Spirit Detective".
Just when he was about to retract the "Huxian Spirit Detective", Tu Tian found a blurry black shadow in front of him. This shows that although the "Huxian Spirit Detective" has detected that thing, it is not able to detect it thoroughly, so it shows a vague black shadow.
Tu Tian's heart moved, and he released the "Hu Immortal Spirit Detective" specifically towards the black shadow, and at the same time his eyes followed to look in that direction.
"Detective Hu Xian" still hasn't been able to see through the black shadow. And Tu Tian's eyes saw a strange thing in the same position.
Four wooden brackets painted with vermilion lacquer, already somewhat worn. In the middle of the stand is a crystal funnel with a pinch of golden-yellow quicksand inside.
"What is this?" Tu Tian wondered in his heart, and couldn't help but put away the "Huxian Spirit Detective" and walked towards the small stall in front of him.
It was said to be a stall, but in fact there was not even a shelf, only a layer of blue cloth about five feet long and three feet wide was spread on the ground. Most of the things on the cloth are also incomplete, and occasionally one or two are complete, and they are also black and not slippery, and there is no appearance at all, no wonder no one cares about his stall.
After the last experience, Tu Tian also became cautious and cunning, and did not go directly to the funnel, but picked around the stall, looked west, pretended to pick things, and came to the side of the funnel without a trace.
"This must be a delicate little hourglass, right? it should have been about four inches in size, but now it looks like someone has split it in half. All that remained was a two-inch funnel and four half-cut brackets. The other funnel is gone. ”
Tu Tian looked closer, and found that there was obviously a cut mark on the funnel and the stand, so he concluded that it should be an hourglass that had been split in half. Fortunately, the split gap has been sealed, so the golden quicksand inside has not been lost.
The hourglass is not uncommon in the Five Elements Continent, and people use it to keep time. The problem is that this hourglass can actually affect the detection of the "Huxian Spirit Detective", which is not simple.
But what is so special about this hourglass? There is nothing special about the appearance? Except for the golden sand inside, there is nothing of value to be seen. Even that little bit of fine golden sand is nothing to a cultivator.
Tu Tian was really not sure, so he continued to pretend to wander around the stall. He didn't want the stall owner to know that he was coming for the hourglass.
"It's really unlucky, how can you meet a poor ghost anywhere, so that Young Master Ben didn't gamble on a single treasure today!" At this time, a voice full of resentment sounded from behind him.
Tu Tian didn't need to look back, he already knew that the person who said this must be the young city lord he met in front of Boss Xiao's stall.
However, he still stood up, turned his head, and looked directly at the young city lord: "Listening to this tone, the young city lord's vision seems to be very problematic, could it be that he spent five hundred medium-grade spirit stones somewhere to buy a garbage with an empty appearance." ”
"You...... Boy, you're very good-mouthed, don't be cleaned up as soon as you go out on the street!"
"Your vision is not very good, and your cultivation is not very good, just a spirit master cultivates, wearing so bright, it is all stained with your Lao Tzu's light!" Tu Tian hates this kind of second ancestor the most, and of course his mouth is even more unforgiving.
"Looking for death!" The young city lord was furious, and he used his spiritual power, and the time on his palm immediately flowed, as if he was gathering qi to run some kind of combat skill. Tu Tian was not afraid, his right hand clenched his fist, and secretly gathered the strength of the overlord's fist, and the battle was about to break out.
Seeing that there was a bustle to see, the people nearby also gathered around.
"Presumptuous, in the spiritual collection, who dares to fight privately!" An old but rather majestic voice came, Tu Tian and the two felt a kind of pressure coming to their bodies at the same time, their bodies couldn't help sinking, their backs were bent, and the gathering strength of the two was naturally interrupted.
"The boy knows his mistakes, I hope the elders will forgive his sins" The young city lord arched his hand towards the sky and cleverly admitted his mistake.
Tu Tian also knew that the person in the secret had cultivated to a high level, and it was very likely that he had reached the realm of the Fifth Spirit Sect of Spiritual Cultivation! The hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, so he also apologized according to his example: "The kid is a newcomer, he doesn't understand the rules, and he still hopes that his predecessors will forgive his sins. ”
"Fortunately, I dissuaded you in time, and you didn't do any damage. Coupled with your sincerity, I won't pursue it this time. However, don't take it as an example!" Immediately, Tu Tian and the two felt relieved.
"Let's go!" the young city lord glared at Tu Tian fiercely, beckoned to the servants behind him, and then walked towards the outskirts of Gambling Treasure Street first.
Tu Tian watched his two masters and servants leave, and he didn't care in his heart. I was just thinking that the mysterious elder just now should be the elder sent by the "Spiritual Cultivation Chamber of Commerce" to take charge of this spiritual collection.
Just the sound makes us feel coerced, and the strength of this elder is really amazing. From this, it can be imagined that the strength of the "Spiritual Cultivator Chamber of Commerce" behind him should be even more amazing.
"This little man, his courage is not small, what you offended just now is the son of the city lord of this city. A passer-by who watched the battle between the two arched his hand towards Tu Tianyi, "Admire, admire!"
"Hmph, you will only fight to win, what is there to admire, in less than three days, the young city lord will definitely come to the door to trouble you, you better leave quickly" The other person poured cold water on Tu Tian.
"Thank you for your concern, the kid will leave in a while," Tu Tian said, ignoring the crowd and continuing to look at the goods on the stall.
When everyone saw him like this, they didn't want to say anything more, so they scattered in twos and threes to try their luck.
Tu Tian continued to squat down, pretending to ask the stall owner about the price of two or three things, information about their use, etc. The stall owner was also honest, probably because his small stall was finally patronized, and he was eager to make a business, so he answered Tu Tian's question in detail.
In this way, moving his steps while asking, Tu Tian walked in front of the half-hourglass without a trace again.
"What is this?" Tu Tian asked the stall owner as he feigned curiosity.
"Don't hide it from Xiaoxia, this is said to have been a spiritual weapon, but somehow only half of it is left. ”
"There's only half of it left, what's the use?"
"This, I thought, if I could collect the other half...... Or, the person who owns the other half, after seeing this half, may come up and bid for it," the stall owner himself said with some embarrassment.
When the stall owner himself said this, he kept using or, perhaps, these speculative words showed that he himself was not sure of it. It's hard to meet someone who has a significant other, and who knows if the other half has been passed down to the world.
What's more, even if the two halves are collected, it is not certain whether they can be fused into a spiritual weapon again, after all, it is difficult to repair broken things, let alone spiritual weapons.
"You're just sitting here, where can you wait for someone who has the other half to come," Tu Tian shook his head and sighed.
"This ...... I can't help it, most of the things I have in my hands are like this. So I can't even afford to rent a good stall, so I can only rent such a small place," said the stall owner embarrassedly.
"Truth be told, I love collecting these weird things. That's it, this half of the funnel, and the strange stone I asked you about just now, I like it very much, so I bought it together, you can tell a price."
Tu Tian pointed to the funnel and another stone and said. That stone just looked strange, and Tu Tian didn't find anything strange.
It's just that Tu Tian didn't want to set the target directly on the small funnel, so the goal was too obvious, so he found an excuse to buy two strange things.
"This, two, then a hundred, a hundred spirit stones. The honest stall owner stretched out a finger towards Tu Tian and looked at Tu Tian nervously and said.
"No problem, deal, this is a hundred spirit stones" Tu Tian threw a hundred spirit stones to the stall owner, and casually put the funnel into the baggage, and also secretly received the Void Ring. Then he went to the stone again, put it away and threw it into his baggage.
"Thank you, thank you for your patronage, these spirit stones are enough for me to pay the rent of the booth for two years. The stall owner happily put away the spirit stone and threw it over to Tu Tian again and again.
"No thanks, it's just a fair deal, I'm leaving, next time we cooperate" Tu Tian finished speaking, turned around and left the stall.
After wandering around the remaining stalls on Gambling Treasure Street for a while, and finding nothing strange about it, Tu Tian left Gambling Treasure Street and entered the spiritual cultivation street again.
After another turn in the spiritual cultivation set, he didn't find Du Lihua and the others, Tu Tian knew that he had stayed in Gambling Street for too long, and they must have gone home first. Because at that time, when everyone decided to move freely, they had already agreed that if they were scattered and could not find their companions, they would go back by themselves.
What should be shopped, what should be bought at present, and what can be bought, has been bought. The time was not early, and Tu Tian decided to return to Qingyuanzhuang.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the spiritual gathering, Tu Tian felt wrong. It turned out that at the door of the spiritual gathering, there was a row of officials dressed as blue and blue.
Seeing Tu Tian come out, one of the leading people stepped forward and asked in an unkind tone: "Boy, where did you learn and where did you come from?"
"Is this your business?" Tu Tian vaguely guessed what was going on, and his tone was not polite.
"Hmph, boy, you're crazy. We wanted to find out what sect you came from, and we thought if we should give you some face. Now it seems that with your poor and sour appearance, there is no need to ask. Come with us to the City Lord's Mansion, shall you?"
"Why did you let me go with you, is this what the city lord meant?"
"Who do you care, does it make a difference? In this Purple Shell City, the officials of our City Lord's Mansion do things on behalf of the City Lord's Mansion, of course!" the leading official shouted proudly.
