Unsheathed Sword Chapter Ninety-One: Trading
Bai Xiaoyu was obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Huaigu's words in the Rejuvenation Workshop, and he didn't talk to Xu Huaigu much along the way, but he still took Xu Huaigu one by one to find an antidote that could solve the toxicity of the flowers on the other side.
I don't know where the trading place of this plum blossom garden is, and there is no sunrise and sunset. Xu Huaigu felt that he had been running around with Bai Xiaoyu for nearly a day, and he couldn't stand it with his physique, but the sunshine was still as red as when he first came.
The two walked into a cold pharmacy in the Plum Blossom Garden again and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there any medicine here that can treat a type of poison like the ghost path?" ”
But after some conversations, they still didn't find what they were looking for.
As time passed and more and more pharmacies passed, the hope in the hearts of the two was gradually extinguished.
……
In a remote corner of the Plum Blossom Garden, Bai Xiaoyu and Xu Huaigu walked silently on the road, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Xu Huaigu could see that Bai Xiaoyu was depressed, and he seemed to be a little angry.
Xu Huaigu asked cautiously, "Sister Bai, are there any other pharmacies here?" ”
Bai Xiaoyu frowned, kept walking, and did not answer him.
Xu Huaigu thought that it was his previous gaffe in the pharmacy that made Bai Xiaoyu angry, so he apologized and said: "It was true that I was too anxious and didn't think about it before, so I said something like that and caused you trouble, Sister Bai, don't be angry." ”
Bai Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's not because I'm afraid of getting into trouble, but because you didn't protect yourself." If I'm not with you today, you're in danger. In this kind of place in the future, don't be so careless again. Do you know how much trouble you will get into with this statement? Those monks who only have treasures in their heads, whether they are wild cultivators or righteous paths, are all goods, and they will do anything for the sake of profit! ”
Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but say a little, turned his head suddenly, and scolded loudly behind him: "The person in the back, who has been with us for so long, still refuses to show up?" ”
Xu Huaigu was startled, and his hand suddenly unconsciously moved closer to the long sword behind his back.
Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Bai Xiaoyu became angry: "Sneaky, at first glance, he is a villain with no ability!" If you want to plot against the two of us, I'm afraid you've miscalculated, and if you don't come out, I'll have to find you out! ”
Under the threat, a man came out from behind a stone brick wall in the alley.
The man was wearing a black embroidered brocade robe and a folding fan in his hand, and his appearance was dignified, and he looked like a kind feeling, not like a villain who would sneak attack.
But Xu Huaigu knew that appearance was absolutely unbelievable, and the more kind he was, the more careful he had to be.
Xu Huaigu's fingers had already touched the scabbard, and as long as the man had the slightest movement, the long sword could be unsheathed immediately.
The place where the man was standing was a little far away from the two of them, and his expression was obviously restrained, and his tone was a little negotiative: "Don't be in a hurry to do it, and listen to my explanation." I have absolutely no ill will following the two of you, just to confirm one thing. Have you really seen the flower on the other side? ”
Xu Huaigu's heart was full of alarms.
In the conversation with Bai Xiaoyu just now, he already knew that the flower on the other side was a very mysterious existence, and he dared to come up and ask this question knowing the mystery of the flower on the other side, and the intention was probably not good.
Bai Xiaoyu also thought so, and she was very dissatisfied with the man's stalking of the two of them, so she said angrily: "Have I ever seen the other side of the flower, why should I tell you?" What's more, with your self-cultivation, I'm afraid you can't beat me, right? Dare to follow the two of us like this, do you think it's too long for a long time or do you think I don't dare to kill? ”
The man hurriedly explained: "It's true that my cultivation is not very high, but I know a lot about the things of the Qimen Evil Dao. I also inadvertently heard the remarks of the two of you in the Rejuvenation Fang before, could it be that two of your friends were poisoned by the flowers on the other side, so they came to ask for medicine? If so, I can help a little. To tell you the truth, I studied under a mountain and wild cultivator, and I am also half a ghost cultivator, so I have a little understanding of this other side flower. So if you two are interested, we might as well make a deal. ”
Bai Xiaoyu was a little interested and asked, "You said that you know the other side of the flower, do you have any evidence?" How else can I trust you? ”
The man's expression was a little embarrassed.
Seeing him hesitate, Bai Xiaoyu immediately changed his face, and there was a white aura entwined in his hand in an instant, and he was about to use a spell.
As soon as the man saw that he was about to make a move, he immediately didn't care so much, and hurriedly took out a small token from his arms, held it tightly in his hand, and showed it to Bai Xiaoyu.
The small token was carved with a flower, which was the flower of the other side with many filaments, but this flower was a little different from the flowers that grew in Granny Qin's yard. This flower has no curly petals, the petals tend to be straighter, and its color is not bright red, but intense purple-black. Obviously, this is also the other side flower, but it is a different kind.
Bai Xiaoyu asked, "Is this the flower on the other side?" ”
After the man showed Bai Xiaoyu the token, he immediately put it away carefully, and then said: "The other side flower grows in Lethe, there are five kinds in total, this is one of the other side flowers, it is the black side flower that symbolizes death." This token was originally my master's belongings, and it was passed on to me later. ”
Bai Xiaoyu raised his chin, nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Show it to us?" ”
The man cried with a sad face: "It's not that I don't want to show you, but it involves the root of the avenue, and I really can't show it to others." ”
Bai Xiaoyu's hand was still in the air and did not take it back.
The man saw that it was useless to sell hardship, so he had no choice but to go up and give the token to Bai Xiaoyu.
Bai Xiaoyu put the token in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that the token was just an ordinary token, not even a spiritual weapon, but the material of this token was a rare commodity, at least Bai Xiaoyu had never seen it, it should be some kind of ancient thing.
Anything that is related to the ancients and gods must not be simple, Bai Xiaoyu is a little curious about what the use of this token is.
She looked at it several times, but found nothing special, so she threw the token into the air at random, and the man's face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly caught the token, not daring to damage it slightly.
Bai Xiaoyu said: "Now that I believe in you, then how can you talk about our transaction?" ”
The man carefully put away the token and said, "We monks do business, and naturally the most important thing is a win-win situation, so I will definitely not lose two of them in this transaction." Didn't your friends fall under the poison of the other side flower, and you tell me where the other side flower grows, and I will go to that place and find the antidote for you, is that okay? ”
Xu Huaigu asked suspiciously, "Then don't you earn nothing in this way?" ”
The man then said, "So I also have a small request, all the things found in that place, except for the antidote, I will choose a suitable thing to take away, okay?" ”
The conditions proposed by this person seem to be very generous and obviously very sincere, but in the eyes of Xu Huaigu and Bai Xiaoyu, two smart people, it seems a little untenable.
He said that if you pick one thing, isn't it the best thing? And according to the tone of the man's voice, he seemed to know very well that there would be something important in that place.
Bai Xiaoyu wouldn't easily agree to this condition, so she asked, "If I guessed that place correctly, there should be a lot of treasures, right, are you so willing to just need one?" Do you know the secret of that place, and if so, I advise you to tell me quickly. ”
The man lowered his head and explained with a smile: "Where is it, there is really no secret, it's just that I just want a magic weapon at hand, so I said such a condition." ”
Xu Huaigu whispered to Bai Xiaoyu: "Sister Bai, we have been here for a day, didn't Yu Qin say that there are only two days to live, if you miss the time, it will be over!" Whatever his intentions, we might as well agree to it first, and then act on the opportunity. ”
Bai Xiaoyu nodded and said to the man, "Okay, then I promise you." ”
The man laughed happily and said, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation, let me introduce first, my name is Huang Shan, a Four Realms Wild Cultivator." ”
The so-called wild cultivation is a group of people who correspond to the disciples of the Righteous Path Sect. But they don't belong to the Demon Dao, they just don't have a fixed residence and sect.
Most of the wild cultivators are mixed in the mountains, forests and markets, and most of the methods of cultivation are obtained from the heaven and earth in the mountains and swamps, so they are named wild cultivators. However, there will also be a inheritance of master and apprentice disciples between wild cultivators, but this inheritance is different from the rules of the Immortal Family Sect, it is just a name, and there is no actual binding effect. In fact, in the field of cultivation, it is normal for master and apprentice to kill each other for the sake of profit.
Ye Xiu adheres to the principle of "killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses", there is only profit in his eyes, and there is nothing that cannot be done for the sake of cultivation and treasures. Therefore, in the field cultivation industry, many people will work part-time mercenaries, killers and other righteous disdainful roles, and some will even go to rob tombs.
The disciples of the Righteous Path Sect have always looked down on Ye Xiu, thinking that they are a cancer in the cultivation world, but Ye Xiu also looks down on the disciples of the sect. These immortal disciples, since they were children, all of them are from the sect, and they always feel that they are superior, and they are afraid of death, and our wild cultivation family is all exchanged for our lives, do you have the face to say that we are?
The mutual scolding between Ye Xiu and the Immortal Family seems to have started since the appearance of these two characters, and it has never stopped.
Bai Xiaoyu had a cold face and said to Huang Shan: "We are just making a deal, and you don't need to know the name." But since you don't have a backer, I have to remind you that if you want to do anything else during the transaction, I can hunt you down and kill you! ”
Huang Shan only thought that she was scaring herself, but she didn't dare to resist this woman who cultivated higher than herself, so she said: "I don't dare to guarantee the character of other wild cultivators, but I dare to say that my reputation can be absolutely trusted." ”
Bai Xiaoyu snorted coldly: "It's better to do so." ”
