Chapter 88
After running for half a day, the road is tens of thousands of miles, if it is an ordinary person, even if there is a fast means of transportation, I am afraid that it will take a few years to arrive. And Ma Xiaoniu, before sunset, finally saw the endless coastline in front of him and a huge city sitting on the shore, presumably it was the wind and rain.
Walking closer, the city gate is towering, a sea-blue plaque on the door, three blood-colored characters on the book, the font is strong and powerful, and you can feel an inexplicable coercion when you look at it. Outside the city gate, there were still many people, but because it was nearly evening, most of them entered the city, and few went out of the city, and they were all in a hurry.
On both sides of the city gate were guarded as usual, and these soldiers were strange-looking, but Ma Xiaoniu was no longer surprised by this. led the dragon horse and followed the flow of people inside, but the soldiers did not seem to see it, and let the horse and calf enter the city.
There is a very different difference between inside and outside the city. The outside of the city is deserted, but the city is lively. Even though it was almost evening, there was still an endless stream of people shuttling back and forth on the streets.
"The seafood that has just been caught is cheaper!"
Ma Xiaoniu stepped forward and saw a man with horns in an ordinary beast robe shouting hard. In front of him was a large basin more than two meters wide and more than one meter deep, and there was water in the basin, and many sea creatures were swimming in the water. Among them, there is a kind of fish with a silver glittering body and two extra-long tentacles on its mouth swimming in the basin, and this horse calf knows that it is called a silver light fish.
There is an octopus monster in the corner of the basin, the lower body is a lot of octopus feet, but the upper body is a white and tender little doll, the little doll has no ears, only two gills.
"What is this?" Ma Xiaoniu asked, pointing at the octopus monster.
The man with the horns looked at Ma Xiaoniu with a strange expression: "You said this? This is a tentacle fish! You see it's getting dark, if you want two White Star Coins, you'll get two White Star Coins! ”
Ma Xiaoniu shook his head, what was the use of such a strange-shaped doll octopus? It is impossible to eat. He pointed to something that looked like a dead branch and said, "Is this a twig or a fish?" ”
The horned man did not answer, but directly touched the dead branch with his hand, but the two sides of the dead branch suddenly stretched out eight legs and quickly climbed to the side.
"Guest officer, this is a withered branch crab, don't look good-looking, the body is full of fresh meat, you can eat it if you peel it off!"
Ma Xiaoniu was full of interest, and spent two white star coins to buy a withered branch crab, and then peeled off the skin with his hands, revealing the tender pink crab meat inside, and when he ate it, it instantly slid into his stomach, leaving only a fresh and fragrant taste in his mouth.
"Delicious!"
The man smiled: "We cross the endless strait through wind and rain. What the Endless Strait has, we have almost all here. What is the withered branch crab, it is more delicious than the withered branch crab! ”
"Oh? Can you tell me about it? ”
"For example, you are a fairy wine shell, not only the shell is beautiful, but its meat also has a strong aroma of wine, which melts in the mouth, such as drinking fine wine, and the fragrance is lingering! Tsk, that's really the best in the world. The horn man swallowed his spit and said, "It's a pity! That kind of immortal wine shellfish is extremely expensive, and generally only the immortal masters can afford to eat it, like us fishermen, even if we catch it, where can we be willing to eat it? ”
Ma Xiaoniu nodded and continued to ask, "What about other than that?" ”
"That's too much, and I can't talk about next year. But if you want to say that it is more delicious, it should be the demon beast meat, I heard that the demon beast meat is not only delicious, but also can strengthen the body, and even those immortals are good for the old men! However, we ordinary fishermen don't want to encounter monsters, because that means they may die. Every year, I don't know how many fishermen die in the mouths of monsters in the sea. ”
After listening to the horn man, Ma Xiaoniu bought a few more withered crabs and peeled them to eat as he walked. After walking a short distance, there was another stall on the side of the road that attracted the attention of Ma Xiaoniu.
The stall owner sat still, and there was a small animal skin on the ground in front of him, and some things were scattered on the animal skin. Ma Xiaoniu was a little curious, and the other vendors kept shouting, but this one not only didn't shout, but even his eyes were closed.
Approaching, the horse calf crouched down to inspect the contents of the hide. I saw an emerald green handkerchief on the left side of the hide, and the veil was still dirty, as if it had not been washed for a long time. The handkerchief was embroidered with unknown flowers, but it was also dirty and ugly to look at. Next to the veil is a quaint and small wine bottle, made of unknown material, and some patterns are also painted on the bottle. Next to it was a short sword with green rust on its body and seaweed wrapped around its hilt. Next to the dagger was a book, with a blue cover, crumpled, as if it had been soaked in water.
"What are these things?"
The stall owner opened his eyes, only to find a pair of red vertical pupils in his eyes: "Look for yourself, buy if you can see it, and you can't afford it if you can't see it." ”
Ma Xiaoniu smiled, reached out and took out the relatively clean short sword, looked at it, and then put it back on the hide. Said: "If I tell me the details of these things, how much money can you sell?" ”
The stall owner's red pupils shrank and said, "Eight hundred gold star coins, no counteroffer." ”
Ma Xiaoniu nodded: "It's not expensive." If I'm right, it's all from one person, and it's a dead man! ”
The stall owner smiled disdainfully: "It doesn't seem difficult to see this, right?" ”
"Then I'll get straight to the point. These things were picked up by you from a dead corpse on the beach, and although they were of inferior quality, they were all spiritual artifacts with spirit patterns depicted. Am I right? ”
The stall owner stood up suddenly, looked at Ma Xiaoniu in surprise and said, "Is this really what you can see?" ”
"Of course!"
The stall owner suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Presumably you are also a spiritual cultivator, right?" ”
Ma Xiaoniu nodded, "Sort of." ”
The stall owner suddenly whispered, "These things can be given to you for free, but you need to do me a favor." ”
"What's the rush? Let's talk about it."
"This is not a place to chat, why don't we go to the restaurant next door?"
Ma Xiaoniu followed the stall owner to the restaurant, where there were a few tables, but there was no one. Xiao Er ran up, nodded and said, "Two, what do you need?" ”
The stall owner waved his hand and said, "Serve your best dishes here, and then bring the best wine." ”
"Great! Wait a minute. After speaking, Xiao Er ran into the back kitchen.
The two sat down, Ma Xiaoniu looked at the stall owner with a faint smile, and said, "If there is anything you need help with, you can say it." ”
The stall owner looked at the newspaper on the table, stretched out his hand and stroked it gently, and sighed: "I can't hide it, these things belong to my brother." My brother is a fourth-level spiritual cultivator, and when he was alive, he was also a famous person in this wind and rain crossing, but once he went overseas with someone, but when he came back, he was seriously injured, and then he died. Before he died, my brother only said one person's name: Lin Zhongqing! ”
Speaking of this Lin Zhongqing, the stall owner clenched his fists and had a resentful expression. But then he sighed again: "Although I know who the enemy is, I am only a mere second-level spiritual cultivator, while Lin Zhongqing is a fifth-level spiritual cultivator, the gap is huge, and I am not an opponent at all." Moreover, I know that once this Lin Zhongqing comes back, he will never let me go! So I ran away early. Sure enough, after that Lin Zhongqing came back, he went to my residence several times, but fortunately I escaped early, otherwise I would have died. However, I didn't stop thinking about revenge for a moment, so I worked hard to cultivate on the one hand, and on the other hand, I disguised myself and hid in Tibet, looking for opportunities. Now, I'm finally looking forward to this opportunity! You, you must help me! ”
Ma Xiaoniu frowned and looked at the stall owner suspiciously: "There are two doubts, first of all, how do you know that I must be Lin Zhongqing's opponent, he is a fifth-level spiritual cultivator." Secondly, although these four things are spiritual objects, their quality is not good, why should I help you? ”
The stall owner stood up, saluted again, and said, "Don't hide it, although I am a second-level spiritual cultivator, but the spiritual object is special, you see", after speaking, the stall owner stretched out his hand, the palm of his palm flashed with a slight green light, and a round stone appeared in the palm of his hand. When it first appeared, the stone was just pale and indistinguishable from ordinary stones. But when the stall owner brought the stone close to the horse calf, the stone instantly turned golden. The stall owner looked at the golden stone in his palm, and his eyes were full of shock.
"This exclusive spirit creature of mine has no strength, but it can detect the general strength of others, and different strengths will take on different colors, and gold, I have never seen it before!"
Ma Xiaoniu instantly became interested, this world is really wonderful, the spirit pattern is different for everyone, and the exclusive spirit is all-encompassing, which can be seen from this strange detection of spirit objects.
Ma Xiaoniu's heart moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the stall owner's spirit pattern had been unreservedly displayed in front of Ma Xiaoniu's eyes, looking at the complex and mysterious spirit pattern, Ma Xiaoniu sighed in his heart, the world is really wonderful, and such a complex and mysterious spirit pattern can be formed. Although Ma Xiaoniu is the supreme god, this thing has nothing to do with strength, this is pure imagination!
"That's why I dared to ask you for help. As for the four spiritual objects, I naturally know that in front of you, these four spiritual objects are nothing, but I have a secret that I may ask you to think about again. ”
"Oh? Secret? Tell me about it. ”
"My brother often goes out to sea to hunt monsters, once my brother went deep into the seabed, and found a portal behind a sea stone, the portal is well hidden, if it is not for special reasons, my brother will not be able to find it anyway. My brother tried, but it didn't move. So my brother marked the location first and prepared to go again, but unfortunately, my brother didn't wait for ......."
Ma Xiaoniu smiled faintly: "This is indeed valuable information." But no one knows what is behind the door, maybe open the door and there is nothing inside. ”
