Chapter 679: Tianjing
Chapter 679
One of the werewolves asked:
"Elven waste, what are you doing here?"
Tong Guanglin's face was obviously not good-looking, but he still smiled and spoke:
"Both, I'm here to hand in Roselle on behalf of the Elven Village."
Hearing this, the two werewolves immediately looked surprised.
Because of the City Lord's Mansion, I haven't received Roselle for more than two months.
One of the werewolves directly stretched out his hand and said to Tong Guanglin, "Give it to me directly."
Tong Guanglin frowned: "Two, such an important thing as Luo Shenhua was handed over to the city lord by hand in the past."
The two werewolves' eyes widened suddenly, "Why, you don't believe us!"
"Hurry up and get Roselle!"
Tong Guanglin saw that the other party was about to draw a knife, so he had to take the cloth bag containing Roselle from Tong Xin's hand, and then handed it to one of the werewolves.
The werewolf checked it and found out that it was indeed Roselle, and immediately laughed.
Then he glared coldly at Tong Guanglin and the others, and roared:
"What are you doing in a daze, don't get out of here! Is Tianyi City a place where you can stay?!"
Tong Guanglin clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to get angry here, so he had to signal Tong Xin to leave with his eyes.
Tong Xin saw that Xiao Zhan was standing still and didn't move, so she hurriedly asked:
"Xiao Zhan, aren't you leaving?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said with a smile:
"Go back, I won't go back to your village."
Tong Xin nodded at this time, hugged her fist at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Thank you for saving me yesterday, and I will have the opportunity to come to our village again in the future."
Xiao Zhan nodded and watched the two leave.
The two werewolves standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion looked at Xiao Zhan at this time and said coldly:
"Boy, why don't you get out of here!"
Xiao Zhan glanced inside the City Lord's Mansion, and didn't bother with the two werewolves, turned around and walked towards a street next to him.
This is the territory of the Celestials.
Xiao Zhan was naturally very cautious, worried that someone would discover his identity as a human race.
He didn't even know what the currency in circulation here was, and the only thing he had any value on his body was probably the roselle plant.
After walking around the city for a long time, Xiao Zhan has been paying attention to the situation around him.
It wasn't until it got dark that Xiao Zhan knocked on the door of an iron shop.
The fire at the door has not been extinguished.
The red light of the charcoal fire reflected on Xiao Zhan's body, making Xiao Zhan feel a little hot.
A gap was opened between the two door panels of the blacksmith's shop, and a young man frowned and looked at Xiao Zhan, and asked in a deep voice:
"What for?"
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"Do you have something in your hand?"
During the day, Xiao Zhan noticed that there were people coming and going in this place from time to time, and those people were obviously not here to fight weapons, they all carried some things when they came, and when they came out, they were empty-handed, and they all looked sneaky.
Xiao Zhan guessed that this place was most likely a shady shop.
As for why he couldn't see the light, Xiao Zhan didn't know it for a while.
The young man inside the door glanced at Xiao Zhan and made sure that Xiao Zhan was a fresh face, so he said in a low voice:
"You're in the wrong place, you don't accept anything here."
Then the young man was about to close the door.
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"Roselle, don't you accept it either?"
Hearing the three words of Luoshenhua, the young man immediately stopped his movements, and after being silent for two seconds, he suddenly opened the door and motioned for Xiao Zhan to go in.
After Xiao Zhan came in, he looked outside extremely vigilantly, and only after confirming that no one was paying attention did he close the door again.
It was pitch black in the room.
The young man lowered his voice and said:
"Follow me!"
After speaking, he took Xiao Zhan into the next room, touched the wall behind a stove, and a secret passage immediately appeared in front of the two of them.
The young man took Xiao Zhan down the steps, and after walking for a while, stone chambers appeared in front of him.
The young man stood at the door of one of the stone chambers and spoke, and then motioned for Xiao Zhan to enter.
When Xiao Zhan walked in, he saw candlelight lit in the stone room.
A middle-aged man, sitting on a chair, held a black pill in his hand, gently scraped off a little with a knife, put it on the tip of his tongue and tasted it.
Seeing Xiao Zhan come in, the middle-aged man motioned for Xiao Zhan to sit down, and then put the pill in his hand into the small porcelain bottle, and raised his hand to put the small porcelain bottle on the shelf behind him.
The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Zhan at this time, and glanced at Xiao Zhan in some surprise, obviously not seeing that Xiao Zhan belonged to that race.
However, the middle-aged man was not too confused.
After all, since the Celestial Race dominated thousands of races, the people of the Celestial Clan began to intermarry with people from other races, and other races also began to intermarry.
So that the blood in some people's bodies is mixed and they can't tell which race they are, which is also a normal situation.
"Do you have roselle in your hand?"
Xiao Zhan nodded, did not take out the roselle directly, but asked straight to the point:
"Quote a price."
The middle-aged man frowned:
"If it is well preserved, the roselle that has just been picked for less than a month can give you ten heavenly crystals."
"One month to three months, only five Celestial Crystals."
Xiao Zhan nodded: "I just picked it yesterday, and it is well preserved."
"Then you'll have to let me see the goods," the middle-aged man chuckled, "You're lucky, it's been nearly two months since anyone sent Roselle to the City Lord's Mansion."
"Now the price of roselle in the dark market has increased several times, if it had been placed half a year ago, one Tianjing would have been enough to buy several roselle plants."
Xiao Zhan directly put his hand into his arms and took out the roselle plant.
This middle-aged man is obviously an expert, and at a glance, he knows that Xiao Zhan is not lying, this roselle flower is indeed freshly picked, and it is also well preserved.
The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, he directly took a wooden box from the shelf behind him, took out ten pale golden spars from it and put them in front of Xiao Zhan.
This spar, shaped like an apricot kernel and the size of a peanut, exuded a rich energy that Xiao Zhan had never touched.
Xiao Zhan took the ten heavenly crystals into his arms, got up and planned to leave.
The middle-aged man said:
"If you have any other roselle, I can give you a higher price, and everything is negotiable."
Xiao Zhan paused and glanced back at the middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man has a white face and beard, narrow eyes, but the pupils are erect, faintly glowing with a faint layer of blue light.
The middle-aged man didn't care about Xiao Zhan looking at him, and said with a smile:
"My father is a celestial clan, and my mother is a white snake clan."
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "I only have this one Roselle, if I can still find it, I'll come and negotiate the price with you."
After speaking, Xiao Zhan was about to leave.
The middle-aged man stopped Xiao Zhan again, and asked with a smile:
"I've got a lot of good stuff here, aren't you going to check it out? Maybe there is one you like, ten Celestial Crystals, and you can buy a lot of things."
Sure enough, it was a business, and the Tianjing that had just been taken out immediately thought of taking it back.
But Xiao Zhan really doesn't know much about this world, and looking at what is here can be regarded as a deepening understanding, which is not a bad thing.
After thinking about it, Xiao Zhan nodded and said:
"What's the good?"
The middle-aged man smiled:
"Pills, weapons, medicinal herbs, exercises, maps, you have everything."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took the thick book on the table
The booklet was thrown directly to Xiao Zhan, and he lay on his back on the chair:
"See for yourself."
Xiao Zhan opened the booklet and read it page by page.
The most expensive thing on it is a book of exercises, and the selling price marked is 10,000 heavenly crystals.
The middle-aged man was not in a hurry, just waiting for Xiao Zhan to look through it slowly.
Half an hour passed before Xiao Zhan put the booklet on the table and said in a deep voice:
""Historical Books", "Dharma Dao Canon", "Blowing Fire Palm", the price on it is five heavenly crystals."
The middle-aged man nodded:
"The "Historical Book" and "The Great Book of the Law" are all worthless things, but the "Blowing Fire Palm" is a fairly good technique, and it costs a total of five Heavenly Crystals, which is not expensive...... How much can you give?"
Xiao Zhan said in a deep voice:
"A Celestial Crystal."
"Okay, deal," the middle-aged man nodded with a smile, and then shouted into the outside of the stone:
"Little Four, bring one copy of the "Historical Book", "Dharma and Dao Canon" and "Blowing Fire Palm" each."
The sound of promise sounded outside the door.
Xiao Zhan felt as if he had been slaughtered.
However, Xiao Zhan didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a heavenly crystal and put it on the table.
Soon, the young man who brought Xiao Zhan in just now brought three classics.
Xiao Zhan directly fell into his arms, turned around and left with the young man named Xiaosi.
After a while, Xiao Si walked back to the stone room.
The middle-aged man played with the heavenly crystal in his hand and asked with a smile:
"Sent away?"
Xiao Si nodded:
"Sent away, I have already let the fifth follow, if he has other roselles, he will definitely be able to fall into our hands."
"Hehe," the middle-aged man smiled even more happily, "Wait a little longer, and the price of roselle will go up."
Xiao Si asked with a puzzled face:
"Shopkeeper, although the price of Roselle in the dark market is rising, who dares to buy it?"
"If the people of the Celestial Clan find out, they will die."
The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully:
"It is to be sold to the people of the Celestial Clan."
Xiao Si was even more puzzled.
"The people of the Celestial Clan want Roselle, do they still need to buy it from the Heavenly Crystal?"
"You know!" The middle-aged man glared at Xiao Si, "You pig brain."
"The youngest daughter of the patriarch of the Celestial Clan needs Roselle to continue her life."
"The people of the Celestial Clan are all thinking of sending more Roselle in exchange for more rewards."
"Especially the sons of those big names of the Celestial Clan, they are all collecting roselle, hoping to get the approval of the patriarch of the Celestial Clan, so as to rise to prominence."
Xiao Si understood in an instant, and laughed:
"The sons of those big names of the Celestial Clan are very wealthy, and they must be willing to pay a lot of Tianjing to buy Roselle flowers."
The middle-aged man said "um" and said:
"I've heard that in a few days, the eldest lady of the Heavenly Clan is going to pass by our Tianyi City."
"You tell your brothers to be careful, don't provoke the wrong people."
Xiao Si nodded, then turned around and walked out of the stone room quickly.
At the same time, Xiao Zhan had already found an inn in the city.
The inn's junior was very enthusiastic and told Xiao Zhan that a Tianjing could live for half a month.
Xiao Zhan didn't know the situation in this world yet, and he didn't plan to leave Tianyi City for the time being, and after entering the room, he asked Xiao Er:
"I want to rent a yard in Tianyi City, do you have a way?"
Xiao Er looked at Xiao Zhan with a smile, nodded and said, "Don't hide it from my son, my yard is deserted, and I haven't lived there for several years, although the area is not large, it is better than being clean."
The meaning of the area is not large, that is, it is very small, and the meaning of purity is very remote, this routine, Xiao Zhan is still very clear.
"If Childe is willing, a piece of Celestial Crystal will be rented to Childe for half a year."
Xiao Zhan barely hesitated, nodded and said:
"Then let's go now, and help me get this room out."
Xiao Er smiled and nodded.
It stands to reason that the room cannot be returned.
But Xiao Zhan wants to rent the house of Xiao Er's family, so he is naturally willing to help Xiao Zhan retreat.
After checking out, Xiao Er put a Tianjing in his arms and said with a smile:
"This is the rent that Childe gave me, I'll take Childe over now."
Xiao Zhan nodded, followed Xiao Er out of the inn, and walked through one street after another.
More than an hour passed, and Xiao Er took Xiao Zhan to the edge of Tianyi City.
Next to it is a moat as wide as 100 feet, and there is constantly turbid water surging and rushing, which is really a bit noisy.
