Chapter 7: The Strange Peddler

Let's say that Su Hongshan's parents, Su Slow and Murong Shangqing, will be away from home for more than a month. Su Hongshan was alone at home, liberated, and his heart was very happy.

Having said that, Su Hongshan is not a lazy person who is undisciplined and only knows how to play stupidly, and he still does not fall behind in his cultivation homework, and it can even be said that he works harder than before.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and since the seventh day when his parents went out, Su Hongshan could vaguely perceive the spiritual power contained in this water-mill steel whip. Playing this steel whip again, but it's very different, when one move is a move, it seems to have the power of a thunderboltβ€”β€”β€”β€” it can't be said to destroy the sky, but it is not a problem to destroy the small forest in the mountain behind you. Su Hong understood in her heart: she had already stepped into the realm of [Psychic], and if she practiced further, it would be [Transformation].

However, as long as people achieve their goals, they are prone to slack.

Su Hongshan's this is equivalent to completing the goal agreed with his parents ahead of schedule, and he was overjoyed, so he decided to treat himself. I bought some good wine and meat that was smooth to my mouth, and poured myself a drink at home, which was quite satisfying. But after a few days, I got tired of it, so I thought that while my parents were away, I had already practiced to the psychic realm, so it was better to go out of the village to have some fun.

Su Hongshan said to do it. I changed into a light outfit, brought a few large tickets, and some change; a silver dollar, and scattered silver taels.

This big ticket and change is the paper money issued by the Han court, but now General Guo Ziwei controls the government and the Han king is like a puppet. In the territory of the Han Dynasty, there were many places where the powerful and self-reliant regimes confronted Guo Ziwei. In these places, most of them issued their own "national" banknotes, which of course did not recognize the banknotes printed by the imperial court.

Youzhou, where Su Hongshan, is located, although it belongs to the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, but among the people, there are fewer and fewer places where these banknotes can be spent. In particular, the area of Yunlong Mountain is located in the countryside, and the people recognize silver dollars and silver taels; Therefore, Su Hongshank carries both paper money and silver coins.

Although Su Hongshan also felt troublesome, thinking that at this time, in those provinces where the Han Dynasty was at war with local rebels, people bartered and even forcibly seized β€”β€”β€”β€” compared with those places, which was already good.

After bringing the money, the rest is your own water-mill steel whip. Su Hongshank originally wanted to tie a rope and carry it directly behind him, so majestic; Thinking about it again, it is too arrogant to swagger through the market with this oozing big iron bar. So I put it in a sleeve and carried it in my hand.

Su Hongshank cleaned up and down neatly, lifted the steel whip, and strode out of the house. After thinking about it, less than a few miles out of the village is the bazaar of the hometown; Not far from the bazaar, there is a plum blossom manor, which is a place for entertainment and recreation. I haven't been there in years. Okay, just run there.

Su Hongshan left the village and ran south along the country dirt road. After walking for a short time, I saw small vendors sitting on the ground along the dirt road, which was very lively.

It's not yet a bazaar, and it's still a little bit away from the real township bazaar. As for these vendors, they just make money to pass through the market, and the things they buy are all knick-knacks. What jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, flowers, birds, fish and insects, little yellow chickens, little rabbits...... Most of them are fake, but there are also many people who buy them. There are also kiln sisters who tell fortunes and sell their arts, and even solicit customers, and so on.

Su Hongshank walked around, looking east and west. He doesn't know much about flowers, birds, fish and insects, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, that is, he just looks at them. As I walked, I suddenly smelled a fragrant smell. Looking ahead, there was a large crowd of people surrounding something, looking over there.

Su Hongshan didn't want to watch the excitement, but he felt that the black jade bracelet on his wrist was faintly hot. This was not the case along the way, but there was an anomaly here. Su Hongshan felt that there must be something over there, which resonated with his bracelet. So he also stepped forward and crowded into the crowd to watch.

When Su Hongshan came to the cut, he didn't see anyone at first, but saw a big yurt house, which seemed to be built temporarily. The person who set up the stall is sitting in front of the yurt to buy things. Su Hongshan felt strange in his heart, the business in this place is all covered with a bag of goods, this person is so pompous, he actually built a yurt.

It was only when others crowded in front of the crowd that they could see the vendor setting up the stall clearly. The man was dressed in a short linen shirt and wore a turban crookedly. Black hair with a little curly, not very old, a man. Stud earrings, big eyes, a bit of a hooked nose.

In front of him was a blanket with some three-colored ceramics on top of it, as well as some medicine bottles. In addition to these, the most conspicuous thing is that it has a large cauldron. There's a fire down there, and there's something boiling in there. This fragrance is emanating from the pot. Look at the side again, there is a sign standing with four big characters written crookedly:

Tianzhu Buddha medicine.

Oh, there's a lot of medicine boiling in this pot. Su Hongshan took a closer look, and most of those three-color ceramics were Bodhisattva statues, and the most were Bodhisattvas riding white elephants. The six-tusked white elephant is round and full of carving, and it looks really good. There are also some small pendants, some are jade Buddhas, and some are finger-thick demon pestles.

The peddler was boiling medicine and talking here. When Su Hongshan heard it, this person wanted to speak with an accent, which was not very heavy, but it sounded very strange in some places. It feels like he might be a foreigner, but he speaks the local dialect well. But in the subtleties, the one that is pronounced wrong, it is very outrageousβ€”β€”β€”β€” it should not be known at all, and it is by no means explained by the dialect accent.

Just listen to the peddler:

"To say that our medicine, that material, can be said to be quite chic. Snow Lotus in the East, Dragon Treasure in the West...... All inclusive, all inclusive! ”

"But the beauty of this medicine is not in this medicine. So where is it? Hey, lo and behold, it's in this pot. ”

"To put it bluntly, it's called a pot; To put it mildly, this is a cornucopia. ”

"Don't believe it, this cornucopia can gather the aura of heaven and earth, and with my impermanent fire simmering slowly, we have the Tianzhu Buddha medicine that cures all diseases."

Su Hongshan looked at the vendor and shook his head, and what he said was really energetic. Himself and others, look into his "cornucopia" together. If what he said is true, this "cornucopia" should be similar to the principle of the black jade bracelet in his hand.

There was a lot of talk around them. The peddler saw that it had an effect, and spoke more energetically. Dancing with his hands, his hands were up and down in front of him, and he slapped "pop" and shouted:

"Hey!"

Everyone was startled, and the hawker was concentrating again, with his hands left and right, and the white crane flashing its wings, and then slapped it on his chest again, and shouted:

"Hah!"

The spectators burst into laughter. hawker says:

"Don't laugh! Don't laugh! I'm gathering the aura of heaven and earth, right away, this baby is coming! ”

As he spoke, the peddler hooked his fingers, seemingly unintentionally; Su Hongshank felt that the black jade bracelet on his arm slipped down, from the big arm to the small arm, from the small arm to the wrist in the blink of an eye, and then slippedβ€”β€”β€”β€” it was already on the back of the running hand; I felt bad, my five fingers were buckled, and I wanted to hold the bracelet. As soon as the fingers moved, I felt the bracelet take advantage of the fingers, and the air swirled towards the vendor.

The peddler was very surprised, and almost instantly, he copied it and caught the black jade bracelet. Raising his eyes, he smiled at Su Hongshan, and said with a smile:

"Guys, see what I'm saying, right? The baby is here. You're frightened, that one. This blue sky and white day, bright and clear, of course I can't take your treasure in vain, and I should return it to you. You are a destined person, come, let's talk in the yurt. Dick! Come out and help me continue to boil this pot. ”

As he spoke, the peddler turned around and went around to the back of the yurt, and dared to open a door behind it. And from the front door, a person came out, took his place, and continued to boil medicine and shout in front of the yurt. This man was dressed like him, but he had a big beard and a slightly vicious face.

Su Hongshan saw that the people around him didn't think it was a big deal, and they all applauded the hawkers. I secretly shouted in my heart that I was unlucky, and I shouldn't have come to see the excitement. I don't know if this peddler is good or bad, but listening to his tone, he is very polite. But who knows, does he want to blackmail his black jade bracelet? Besides, the bracelet was sucked out of thin air just now, and he picked it up lightly: this peddler is also a cultivator.

Thinking of this, Su Hongshan, with twelve points of caution, carried a steel whip to separate the crowd, and walked around the back of the yurt. I made up my mind, if this vendor really played chicken thief with himself, the water-mill steel whip in his hand would open the girl's head first in the first battle.

Su Hongshan came to the back of the yurt, and when he looked, there was indeed a back door with a curtain. Pick up the curtain with a long bag and walk in. The air in the yurt was very cloudy, full of large and small boxes, with a low table in the middle, and no stools. The peddler sat cross-legged behind the table.

When the peddler saw Su Hongshan coming in, he was secretly surprised when he saw the long bag he was carrying. Because Su Hongshank was crowded in the crowd just now, this long bag was also tucked in the crowd, and the hawker didn't see it. At this time, this burden is unusually heavy, faintly revealing a cold air, I am afraid it is a heavy magic weapon. Such a heavy guy, Tianke's own magic weapon! Although his magic weapon is also a heavy blade, after all, he has to be careful when he encounters a real hard guy with the word "skill".

Su Hongshan was not polite to the hawker, and sat directly opposite the hawker. Stretched out his hand and said directly:

"Give me the bracelet, hurry."

The peddler smiled and obediently handed the black jade bracelet to Su Hongshan. Su Hongshan took it and took a look, there was nothing wrong with it; put it on his wrist, and immediately tried to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and it was normal, so he was a little relieved.

The peddler looked at Su Hongshank and said, "What do you call this friend?" ”

Su Hongshanjiao took back the black jade bracelet, his vigilance was not so heavy, and he replied directly: "My name is Su Hongshan." You're also a cultivator, aren't you? What's your name? ”

The vendor smiled slightly and said, "My name is Ouyang Shenyi." ”

Su Hongshan nodded and said politely, "Oh, hello." It's quite rare for you to have a double surname. Hey, but my mom is also a double surname. ”

When Ouyang Shenyi heard this, he was very displeased: This kid is a cultivator, yes, but his knowledge is too shallow. I haven't even heard of my own name. I am also a small wrist in the Xuan Realm...... Hmph, I want to see if he really doesn't know or if he fakes.

Ouyang Shenyi said with a smile: "It's just a little joke, I'm also a cultivator from afar, and I'm willing to make a few more friends when I come to Youzhou, so I'm tempting it." Since you have this 'bracelet', brother, then presumably, you also know the principle of my 'cornucopia'. ”

Su Hongshan climbed down the pole and said, "Yes." Dude, your 'cornucopia' is also a gathering thing. If you want to say it, it should be better than my black jade bracelet. So I also know that you will definitely not slander me for this bracelet. You can absorb magic weapons......"

"Yes, yes." Ouyang Shenyi interrupted, "Actually, this is not my most proud magic weapon. What I am most proud of is this magic weapon, which can be regarded as a blade. Dude, take a look, what is this? ”

As he spoke, Ouyang Shenyi took out an object from under the low table, which was covered with a black cloth. said that it was taken out, but in fact, it was also sacrificed out of thin air, but Ouyang Shenyi deliberately hid his means in order not to let Su Hongshan see what he could do.

Ouyang Shenyi put this thing on the table, and this thing stood still. Su Hongshan was surprised, since it could stand on the table, the bottom of this thing must be flat. What kind of blade is this? Looking at the length, it is about the length of a person's forearm, is it a short-handled hammer with a flat bottom?

"Please."

Ouyang Shenyi said, tore off the black cloth, and saw that what was standing firmly on the table was a bronze lampstand.
