21. Watching a play
"What kind of tea does the girl drink?" The shopkeeper looked at Yu Yao and looked at it, as if he couldn't find something, and asked tentatively, "What is the girl looking for?" ”
The flow of people in the teahouse is no less than that of the food street, but most of the people here are mortals, as well as minor monks who come to listen to books, just like Yuyao.
Yu Yao, who was stopped by the shopkeeper, looked at him, and then asked, "Why didn't you see Mr. Storyteller?" ”
Dian Xiaoer obviously didn't have to be asked this for the first time today, so he replied quickly, "Oh, Li Fuzi accidentally knocked his head yesterday, and now he is in the medical hall, and he won't talk about it today, and he won't come back until two days." ”
Hearing this, Yu Yao couldn't help but be disappointed, casually ordered a cup of the most expensive tea in the teahouse, and then asked, "Then what do you know about that cat in Cat Alley?" ”
As soon as the shopkeeper heard Yu Yao ask this, he immediately reacted that the beautiful little lady in front of him should be the fairy who lived in Mao'er Lane, and immediately straightened his waist, pressed his excitement, and said, "Then fairy, you can ask the right person!" The story of the ancestor of the cat is only known to us locals! ”
"That cat in Mao'er Lane is a famous merit cat in our town, the kind that is protected by heaven and earth!" Speaking of this shop, Xiao Er is proud, "The cat master is only available in our town!" ”
Under the narration of the shopkeeper, Yu Yao knew that the status of the little fat cat here was not ordinarily high.
Not all immortal cultivation cities welcome demon clans, only small and medium-sized cities like Qingshan, where ordinary cultivators live together, will be tolerant of all kinds of rivers and have all kinds of spirit stories.
"The cat master has been guarding our Dongshan Town before his death, and he has saved many people from birth to death, there are fairies and mortals, but unfortunately his life is not long, and he was buried under the cat bridge after death, and everyone also plans to commemorate the cat to set up a monument to the cat, and the cat master returned from the first seven days!"
The shopkeeper couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "The cat master is so young, I heard my grandfather say that if the cat didn't lose the three tails to defend the city, the cat master wouldn't have left so early." But now that the cat has turned into a civet cat, it's okay, as long as there is still aura here, the civet will not disperse. ”
When Yu Yao heard this, he suddenly realized, it turned out that the cat was a merit cat, no wonder the soul body was so condensed, and no wonder so many people in the town wanted to raise that kitten, after all, things contaminated with merit can make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
"The cat master lives in Maoerqiao, but most of them come out at night, and if the fairy encounters it, don't do it." The shopkeeper was worried, "The cat master has a bad temper, and most of the local spiritual creatures in our Dongshan Town are subdued by him." ”
The kitten looks small, very fierce, and it hurts to scratch people.
Many people who wanted to bow hard to the civet overlord were scratched by the civet cat and had to leave Dongshan Town to seek medical treatment.
Listening to the shopkeeper gushing about the cat's life, Yu Yao's thoughts gradually drifted to the antique street downstairs.
The most important thing in Cao Street is antiques, every time the sea beast tide will cause many monks to lose their bones, their storage bags or clothes will drift everywhere with the ocean current, the coast of Dongshan Town is some distance from here, but there is a sea vortex here, so there are many gold diggers here.
There is always one category of things that are never lacking in the antique street, and that is books. They are the least expensive to be forged, and the records inside are uneven, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Every mortal town has its own history, but after the demons of the sea destroy the city, these things that seem precious in normal times but are like waste paper in the event of a disaster will end up in the market.
"Higashiyama Zhi?" Yu Yao saw a very rough old ancient book on the stall at a glance, and couldn't help but say, "Why is there Dongshan Zhi here?" ”
"This is the local history of Lao Dongshan, although it is a rubbing, but the content is true." The shopkeeper was also very familiar with the old man who sold books downstairs, and when he saw that Yu Yao was interested, he said, "But there is nothing to see." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Yu Yao's eyes and was attracted by the old man downstairs, so he walked away with interest.
The old man who was setting up a bookstall downstairs faced the curious little boy in front of him, touched his white beard, and said proudly to the young man, "These are all unique books, and there are no other places to sell!" Only the old decay is still here! ”
The young man looked at the old man in a half-worn robe, then looked at the ancient books he had on the stall that no one cared about, and then looked at a book of articles that no one would bargain for a spirit stone, and fell into deep thought.
Just when the boy was about to ask if he could bargain, Lao Suo suddenly jumped up, quickly packed the books on the stall at a speed that no one could react to, and then took a picture of himself with a breeze charm.
"Whoosh~" In an instant, only one back still appeared in the young man's sight.
“?” The young man looked confused and took the ancient books on Lao Suo's stall that he had not had time to take back, and turned his head to look behind her.
This look didn't almost make the boy draw his sword in shock.
In Yu Yao's sight, a strong calf-like physique with a hideous face rushed towards Yu Yao's direction, because of anger, his voice was like a thunderbolt, "In which direction did that broken old man go?" ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and pointed in the direction where the old man had fled, "That ......"
Watching the body cultivator run wildly in that direction, the young man held the ancient book, and for a while he didn't know whether he was chasing or not.
"Puff ......" The middle-aged monk who looked like a middle-aged man in the stall next door couldn't help but laugh when he saw the young man's blank appearance, "This old man Li is a famous thief in our Dongshan Town, and the one who chased him was the seller of his last thief." ”
The things written in this old man's book are true, but the way is not serious, either the old man robbed or the old man stole it, to put it bluntly, it is a thief, the problem is that the breeze charm on the old man's body is still powerful, and ordinary people can't catch up.
The antique street of Cao Street, as long as you pay the money, you can set up a stall here, and there is no role in protecting personal safety.
I paid the money, but the law enforcement team won't help you arrest people, they just came to ensure that the land on this street is not destroyed by these guys, so this is also the reason why Na Tixiu saw that old man from afar, but he didn't dare to use spells.
"This book, you can take it, he has a lot of it in his hand, it is not worth anything at all, and a copy of a spirit stone is just a lie."
There are many people who have offended this old man in the antique street, but you have not been pouted by him in the antique street, so everyone will turn a blind eye.
This old man's ability to steal things is quite strong, no one wants to be targeted by him, and if things are taken away by him, he may not be able to get them back.
