Chapter 42: The Tiger Falls to Pingyang
The weather is getting cooler, and it's already winter.
The inside and outside of Gusu City are covered in silver.
It was not yet dawn, and the sunrise was not visible.
Ordinary pedestrians, dressed in thick clothes and carrying bags, pulled carts and carts of goods, passed through the city gate guard, and prepared to pull them to the market.
There are not many powerful cultivators in the crowd, most of them are only one or two spirits, and they are far worse than the children of the big families, but in order to make a living and support their families, they all come all the way from their respective towns and villages before dawn, hoping to sell their special goods for more money.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes, with calluses on his hands, carrying several bloody corpses of the moon wolf, was also about to go to the market, and the other party was followed by a passive trembling half-grown child, about eleven or twelve years old, childish.
"Yuan'er, is it cold?"
The middle-aged man glanced back at the other party.
"Father, I'm not cold."
Pang Tianyuan's nose was red from the cold, and he sighed hot, and his little face was still pretending to be strong.
"Hmm."
Pang Feng is not a person of good words, he just nodded after hearing this, and then hesitantly took off his coat, draped it on the other party's body, and said without looking back: "Let's go, while there are still few people in the market now, we have to quickly find a good place to set up a stall." ”
"Understood, father."
Pang Tianyuan wrapped his clothes tightly, looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, and didn't feel strange, because in normal times, he had seen a crowd that was even more congested than this, so he took a breath of heat again and followed closely.
Gusu City, a small bazaar, commonly known as the land of the poor.
Because except for some sons and brothers who can't think of it, the rich and noble people will not come here at all, they would rather go to the store to show their status and spend a high price, rather than set foot here, this is the case for small families, and even more so for big families, they will not take a look at it at all, even if they just come closer, they feel a little unlucky.
But today, here is a 'distinguished guest'.
"Let's take a look, fresh colorful dragon's beard fish, taken from the Gusu Wai River, is the best material for making big family dishes!"
A hawker is here shouting and selling.
"Boss, how do you sell fish?"
Ku Dingshan walked over with a large frame and a small frame, followed by a few servants of the Mu Mansion, out of the chef's consciousness and perception, he fell in love with the quality of the colorful dragon's whisker fish at a glance, and the fish soup must be particularly refreshing.
Three months ago, Mu Changge proposed a retreat in the mansion, originally thought that he didn't have to serve that master, he was quite happy in his heart, but he didn't expect that he was more tired than usual every day!
It's because Mu Chengfeng is that stinky boy, the taste is extremely tricky, he is very picky about the dishes, and he always thinks of ways to find fault with him, and there is also a cat spirit beast that appeared inexplicably, which also makes him feel abnormally annoyed, and the other party always takes advantage of his absence to sweep the kitchen clean, and he is a bully!!
If it weren't for Lao Wang sending people to keep staring at him, he would have to go up and pluck the cat's hair!
"Ouch, this uncle, your vision is really extraordinary, very vicious, you look at this bazaar, the sea of fish is vast, you picked my emerald flower at a glance."
The fish vendor has a dog-legged smile on his face.
"Shao Teniang's nonsense to Lao Tzu, uncle, my name is Ku Dingshan, the six monsters of blood, have you heard of it?"
Ku Dingshan looks like a bully.
"What's weird? I've never heard of this before......"
The fish seller was stunned, six monsters of blood? What's that? Can you eat it?
"Damn...... How long has it been, I'm already angry? ”
Ku Dingshan was stunned, looked at the honest fish seller, and said with a dark face: "Ye is from Mufu, how much is this fish?" ”
"Mufu's!?"
The fish seller was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately fished out the fatty colorful dragon's beard fish, put it in the fish basket and nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle, this fish is for you!" ”
Mufu! The big family of Gusu City!
Since the new opening of the auction house of Muyun Pavilion two months ago, the strange treasures and playthings on display, as well as the Taoist talismans, can be said to have stunned a group of tourists in an instant, blinded their titanium alloy dog eyes, and became famous.
One of the most famous is a precious item called [Music Box], which is said to have been handed down from the ancient period, which can release three hundred beautiful melodies, and there are fairy beauties dancing with music, somehow it came to the hands of the Mu family patriarch, and as soon as it appeared, it attracted the care of many gentry, and finally at the price of 300,000 spirit stones, it was directly photographed boldly and domineeringly!
300,000! How much money does that have to be?
However, this is only on the surface, Muyun Pavilion also has a strange item called [Fu Seal], which contains countless various attack secret techniques, according to legend, the root is taken from the Eastern Drought Region, and it can be directly urged to use without casting spells, which can be described as a big killing move when facing the enemy!
Not long ago, there were two foreign cultivators of the enemy forces, who fought without saying a word in Gusu City, which was supposed to be in the form of losing both, but in the end, because of the appearance of the [Fu Seal], one of them defeated the opponent in an instant and won the final victory, which also made everyone begin to pay attention to those yellow rune papers.
In addition, there are a lot of other rare items, and there are countless strange things to say, you are dazzled by what you see, only you can't think of it, and there is nothing he Muyun Pavilion can't do.
However, one of the most popular is a kind of round weird jewelry called [sunglasses], the workmanship is exquisite, and the material is also made of precious black jade, which is especially respected and loved by the younger generation of various families, and even the older generation is paying attention, and countless copies are sold every day, so that the supply of Muyun Pavilion is obviously insufficient, and you have to queue up if you want to book, it is simply hot!
It can be said that in the last sentence, in and out of high-end places, you don't have a pair of sunglasses on your face, you are embarrassed to say which family you belong to, shame!
If this fish is given away today, will he just say a word in the market in the future, and even the dignified Mu Mansion will have to buy fish from me, won't he be rich?
Thinking of this, the fish seller was even more pleased, and hurriedly salvaged two six-winged spirit fish of good quality, put them in the fish basket and handed them over, full of humble compensation and said: "Uncle, you are a deacon of Mufu, it is my honor to come to me to buy fish, don't say anything, as long as Mufu has demand in the future, the fish will be enough!" ”
“…… You're quite acquainted. ”
Ku Dingshan's face was weird, and he waved his hand to signal the family behind him to take the fish basket, and said with satisfaction: "Okay, I don't want this fish in vain today, count me as a credit to you, and if there is a good quality spirit fish in the future, you will send it to Mufu and report my name!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and swaggered away.
"Hey! Uncle, walk slowly! ”
The fish seller waved his hand with joy and cried, and just sighed that he was going to make a fortune, and when he turned around, he saw two figures, one large and one small, occupying the position next to him, and those trivial wolf hairs fell to the ground, looking bloody.
His face instantly darkened, and he scolded with disgust: "Let's go, stay away from me!" Why do you sell all kinds of messy things? There are spirit beasts that are not sent to the restaurant, what kind of business do you come to the bazaar! ”
Pang Feng frowned, not wanting to cause trouble, so he silently continued to bow his head and set up a stall.
The young and vigorous Pang Tianyuan couldn't bear it anymore, and retorted with a cold snort: "Then why don't you go to the restaurant?" Just your half-dead fish, I don't know where they were dug up, yesterday I heard that someone robbed the road halfway, specifically robbing the treasured spirit fish of the merchants, that person has a long sharp-beaked monkey gills, narrow-minded, it can't be you, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the hawker was instantly angry.
"Stinky boy, do you tell me again?"
The peddler rolled up his sleeves in a rage, pulled out the scale, and hit it with a rod.
Syllable!!
A large, calloused hand held the fishing rod steadily, and when the vendor looked up, he saw that it was the silent middle-aged man.
The other party's tall and burly body stood here, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle beast, giving great pressure to others, which immediately made him a little frightened and weak, and said in a panic: "You...... What do you want? ”
Pang Feng took a deep breath, put down the pole, and saluted: "This brother, I'm sorry, it's me who taught the dog no way, which made him angry with you, and I hope Haihan." ”
said, staring straight at each other, although the language was soft, but it expressed a very strong meaning, that is, I don't want to cause trouble, don't mess with me, if you really want to mess with me, I will break your dog's legs!
"Okay, count you as having a ......"
The fish seller was instantly stunned and pushed the cart away.
"Father, you're amazing!"
Pang Tianyuan looked at the vendor who was scared away, and his little face showed a look of joy and admiration.
"Alright, do our part."
Pang Feng said a word with a calm face, and then sat directly on the ground, looking at the people in front of him, shaking his head and smiling with self-deprecation.
Terrible? If he is powerful, then it is impossible for him to not even be able to defeat a strange spirit beast, and if he is really powerful, it is impossible for him to be dismissed by Mu Fu.
When leaving, he rejected the dismissal of Mu Mansion and left, just like he was young and vigorous, he plunged into this unbearable world full of filth, he was inexperienced, suffered a lot of losses, and almost starved to death on the streets, until he was taken in by the previous captain of the Mu Mansion and entered Mu Mansion, so he lived a warm life of eating and wearing......
This kindness will always be remembered in his heart!
As for why he was a master of the Twelve Realms of the Spirit Body, why he was reduced to weaving mats and selling shoes, hunting and selling corpses for a living, it was also because he had no choice but to do so, because ordinary restaurants would not accept spirit beasts hunted in the wild like him, they had a more professional hunting team, and the price had already been negotiated.
Therefore, it is impossible to stage a plot like the down-and-out protagonist in a certain novel, casually hunting a spirit beast and sending it to a tavern to sell, immediately shocking others, and then kneeling and licking to be bought......
And for the sake of face, he would not consider going to the restaurant under the name of the Mu family, a man must be dignified, he will not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, even if the guys and shopkeepers in the restaurant who were once familiar take care of him, but he can't do this, he is poor, and he must be poor and have backbone!
It's like he often teaches his son, although we are born ordinary, but we don't steal, don't rob, don't do evil things, and only rely on our own hands to make money to support our family, so that we can be worthy of conscience, as for the kind of person who cried for his father and mother in the last second, but had already found a good family in the next second, he looked down on him!!
