Chapter Seventy-Four: Landscape Observations
"Those black-hearted vendors should be skinned and cramped!"
Chen Jing heard Cui Niu complaining, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, it had been a few days, and it still made her indignant.
It's no wonder that Cui Niu had a temper at the time, who would have thought that mundane things such as rice and dry food could be sold for fairy money, it was incredible.
When Chen Jing heard it for the first time, he thought he had heard it wrong, and when he asked it again, it was still that price, and he almost turned his face on the spot.
Holding back his anger and asking why it is so expensive, could it be a product of the fairy family?
Although it is not as good as the fairy fruit spirit things that are naturally raised, due to the special origin, the people who operate it are not ordinary, and the products that come out every few years, or even once a year, are also crowned with the name of "immortal".
This kind of thing, all the sects are more or less involved, it is definitely not a matter of pinching their noses and admitting it, but it is a situation of making money in harmony, and those who oppose it are either quiet, or they dare to be angry and dare not speak, as long as it is not forced to buy and sell, so it is.
The vendor, who only had a stall and no shop, glanced at it and said with disdain: "It's the grain produced in the farmer's field, don't you recognize it?" ”
Chen Jing confronted him-for-tat, "My immortal money is exchanged for gold and silver, which is many times heavier than your grain!" ”
"Rich and capable, you let Asgard wait. If you don't have any money, you just run to me here and talk nonsense, I don't know what to say! ”
"I don't buy it yet!"
Chen Jing was about to leave with the next sentence, and a few people immediately walked out of the surroundings to surround them, this was planning to bully the market and force them to buy and sell.
"You can go if you want?"
The black-hearted vendor stood up and glanced at the others, and immediately a space was vacated around him, and some people in the distance saw that there was a bustle, and slowly approached.
Cui Ying yawned, seeing that there was a fight to fight, she barely cheered up, no matter how these people look at it, they are rotten fish and stinky shrimp, they are not worthy of her full strength, she can't move her muscles and bones, and she usually teaches a lesson, this time, she didn't give Xiaojing face, that is, she didn't give herself face, so she had to shoot harder.
It's just that the movement behind is a little big, Cui Ying only cares about beating people, and when she throws people out, she can't stop her hand and smashes it on the person watching the excitement.
Ordinary Ye Xiu is just that, watching people get off the food and see the wind and make the rudder of Ye Xiu extremely snobbish, and there is no lack of knowledge, more than ten people before and after can't trap those two, it's okay to watch the excitement, just go in and mix.
But the children of the sect are different, and when they watch the excitement, they also put on a high-minded attitude, which seems to tell others that only when I am present, then it is really lively to watch.
The smashed sect disciple rolled over twice, and after getting up, ignoring the dust on his body, he pointed at Cui Ying and began to make trouble, asking if he was blind.
Cui Ying got angry, walked up to the man, raised his legs, slapped him with the soles of his feet, and scolded: "I'm blind, what can you do, cure me?" ”
The man covered his cheeks and shouted that there was a kind of don't go, and my master was nearby, and he ran away as if he was running, just as the so-called "the little one who runs, the old one who comes", and after a while, the man brought people back.
The grudge with the black-hearted traders has been settled, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, there's nothing to say, Chen Jing doesn't plan to buy the food of these traders anymore, it's purely disgusting, even if they admit defeat, it's still disgusting.
Cui Ying stared at the people in the sect who went and went, one of them was not young, obviously the master, before he opened his mouth to say the words "why are you", Cui Ying stepped forward and poked the old guy in the belly, the latter curled up like a kneeling ground, slipped two or three feet upside down, nested on the ground like a turtle, not to mention, he didn't move.
The sect disciple who was obviously inexperienced was stunned, Cui Ying pointed at him and said, "I'm blind, you come to tell me, what happened just now?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, picked up his master and ran.
Okay, the benefits of the sect's large number of people are immediately reflected, the master is not good at the master, the master is defeated, the head is not enough to call friends, one is not good enough to come to two, two is not enough to continue to pile up heads, and it is like fighting in the ring wave after wave.
Cui Ying didn't care at first, but in the end he still lost his temper, it turned out that the sect didn't pay attention to fighting, and those rangers and wild cultivators were almost the same, no matter how high-sounding they were, there were still more people and fewer bullies.
What's the matter, especially at the end, those guys who are called "immortal masters" by mortals have already taken out the magic weapon in their hands, and Chen Jing also had to take out the green steel sword from the Linglong bag.
When it was time to use the blade in hand, the anger was high, and it was difficult to suppress it.
There is a saying in the rivers and lakes, if there are outsiders present, it is likely that the moves will be bells and whistles, and the tricks will be dismantled back and forth.
There are also similarities between sectarian immortal masters, such as acting, asking, asking, questioning, questioning, listening to the name of the crepe, how it actually only depends on the individual, with a good temper, similar to the martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and they are tempered by each other.
If you are unlucky, you will encounter a stubborn character, that is, life and death, all kinds of loud-sounding moves, just use the meaning of yin damage, some of them are open-skinned, and they can be used as a mallet with a magic weapon, and it is extremely easy to smash people.
Chen Jing didn't dare to use the sword qi easily with the green steel sword in his hand, the immortal masters are all face-saving characters, otherwise they would not have reached the point of fighting each other, even if a few people were beaten to their knees by Cui Ying, and they had no combat power, but as long as they didn't die, even if they didn't have a feud, the world was big, and they didn't know the roots, and it would be difficult to meet each other when they left this place.
The two groups of people fought from the edge of the bazaar, and slowly came to the middle zone, and at this time there were more people, I don't know if there were too many people who were implicated, or if the sect really made friends, and there were a large number of people who surrounded them.
Chen Jing saw the situation clearly, and he was going to drag Cui Niu, who was crazy, to run away, and if he continued like this, he would be "dumplings".
Finally, a monk who claimed to be Canglang Immortal Palace came over and relieved the siege for the two.
Chen Jing recognized at a glance that the person who came was the female cultivator who kindly sold the water pill to him, and after just a few simple polite and subtle words, the crisis was resolved, no matter what sect or faction, it was obvious that they respected the monk of the Immortal Palace very much.
Seeing each other again, the nun finally revealed her real name, Fuxin.
Don't look at the appearance of Cui Yinger's fool, and after asking Chen Jing the reason for the matter, he couldn't smile bitterly, the monk who has already stepped into the threshold of cultivation still needs to chew grains?
Chen Jing also smiled helplessly, worldly habits are just a matter of time, and he can't adapt to the immortal family Qingya who takes pills for a while.
In the end, without waiting for Cui Niu to play a hooligan, Chen Jing thanked Fuyuan for relieving the siege, pulled Cui Niu away, went to another place in the market to buy Bigu Dan, and went directly on the road.
Anyway, he is also a monk who has entered the threshold, can he starve to death without eating whole grains?
Not to mention anything else, Bigu Dan here is really cheap, a bottle of nine grains, a rain money can buy two bottles, if it doesn't consume too much physical strength, a bottle is at least three months, the usual Jianghu martial arts and the like, more than one month is enough, although there is less desire for tongue, convenience is really convenient.
Chen Jing is in charge of money, and he wants to save some money, so he doesn't care about these little things.
Cui Ying has lost her curiosity about Bigu Dan, and when she sees Bigu Dan at this time, she will be angry, these bastards who refine pills don't know how good it is to change the taste, how good the pill is meaty, but it retains the smell of herbs, and the taste is polite when chewing wax, and it is as unpalatable as it is.
The two of them went out of the bazaar, to the southeast, roughly the same as the course of the Quliang River, and finally went out of the border after a few days, of course, sneaking over.
Chen Jing was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he practiced a little, it was no big deal, again and again, practice makes perfect, and habit became natural.
I took out the geographical map of mountains and rivers from the burden behind my back and took a few looks.
The burden is a trick for him to deliberately pretend, and he also forcibly put Cui Niu on his back, a wild cultivator who is out of the house always has to prepare a few hands, outsiders see that you are dressed in clothes and have nothing else, and they clearly encourage Ye Xiu to test you.
Forget about the master, how tall can the master who walks on two legs go?
Chen Jing pointed to the only mountain range in front of him and said: "That's it, there is a tributary of the Liang River at the foot of Lishan Mountain, called Linfeng River, which flows to the northeast, let's see if we can take a water ferry, if it is feasible, it is much faster than walking on two legs." ”
Seeing Cui Niu cheer up some spirits, she said while sorting out her baggage: "However, let me talk first, even if there is a boat on that river, it will only give us a ride, and there is still a lot of distance from the east of Nanyuzhou, looking at the map, it is estimated that there are still about 3,000 miles, and in the end you still have to walk over, don't shout and be tired with me on the road." ”
Cui Ying squatted on the ground and said weakly: "Xiaojing, I want to eat meat, I want to eat it to death, is there a city on the road behind me to fill my stomach?" ”
Chen Jing thought for a moment and said: "I haven't been able to find the local chronicles of the northern part of Nanyuzhou in the bazaar, there used to be, but now, it should be no longer counted." ”
"Why?"
"When the natural disaster occurred, at the junction of Nanyu and Yujin, there was a corner of the land sinking, and the main disaster was still on the side of Nanyuzhou, and there were those who lost the country, and there were those who would not be in the country, which caused a lot of panic, especially some immortal sects could not give an explanation, and they took the first step, which exacerbated the turmoil of the secular dynasty."
Chen Jing's gaze shifted and looked to the northeast, his face was gloomy, "In the northernmost part of Nanyuzhou today, the displacement is the majority. ”
got up and sighed and said: "I heard some people in the bazaar say that Shangshui and Daqi have helped some refugees, and these two big countries belong to the two largest dynasties in Nanyuzhou, since they have made a move, those refugees will not be too miserable and end up in a violent corpse wilderness." ”
Then he shook his head and said: "But no matter which dynasty, when it encounters this kind of natural and man-made disasters, it is a limited amount of help, take 10,000 steps back, even if the two dynasties open their doors to the country, how many refugees come to receive as many refugees as they want, it won't work, there are too many people, they can't afford to support them." From the moment a natural disaster strikes, a man-made disaster is already doomed. ”
Cui Ying scratched her head, obviously Xiaojing remembered the sad past, she was stupid and didn't know how to comfort her.
Linfeng River is behind Lishan, the two of them walked slowly for a day before they reached the boundary, no way, the closer to Lishan, the more pedestrians, looking like a ranger and a wild repair, and there are some similar dart games, there are few people who are in a hurry under the public.
As for the immortal master who flew through the sky, he had seen it twice, without exception, he looked at people with his nostrils, and he flew by without squinting.
Under the noses of so many people, Chen Jing didn't want to rush away as usual, so he held down Cui Niu, who wanted to show off twice, and asked her to stop, who knows what the crowd thinks, everyone is okay with each other, if you have to compare your cultivation, it may attract hatred.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, Chen Jing felt strange when he saw the lively and extraordinary scene, large and small stalls stretched for two or three miles inside and out, he didn't expect that this kind of borderless land with no law at all and no one could have such a happy place for buying and selling.
Bargging, bargaining, selling, the voices of the people are boiling, the two of them naturally walk into the stall with the flow of people, almost all of them occupy a place, few people are together, one person can't see it, probably have a wariness, this kind of place is not controlled by the government, there is no immortal family in charge, all rely on their own skills to support the field.
The things bought and sold on the stalls are messy, medicinal herbs, martial arts classics, weapon atlases, customs and aspirations, and even cultural relics are bought and sold.
Cui Ying saw that there were actually buns for sale, and ran over to ask about the price.
Chen Jing passed by various stalls, did not stop, most of him could not see the good or bad, but some things were too much, the imitation was not on the point at all, a pair of damaged armor was placed on the ground, and he dared to say that it was a fairy treasure armor, only allowed to see, not touched, the price was three thousand taels of silver, and Chen Jing was a little disdainful, and he took three thousand taels of silver and melted it to make a pair of armor, which was no worse than this.
Cui Ying had a bun in her mouth, and five of her in her arms, walked to Chen Jing and stuffed three of them into him, swallowed the whole bun in her mouth like a date, and said with a smile: "This is simply a delicacies of the mountains and seas, mainly cheap, and it can be bought with broken silver, compared to the black-hearted traders of Shangshui Country, they still have a lot of conscience." ”
Chen Jing handed back a bun to her, and said with a smile: "Eat the bun you hidden, since it's so lively here, it's better to find something to eat than a bun." ”
Cui Ying devoured the buns in her hand, quietly took out the remaining four from the Linglong bag, and said a little depressed: "I have been carrying it in my mouth in my life, I was poor and scared when I was a child, and my mouth grew up when I grew up." ”
Chen Jing took her around the stalls, planning to go to the bank of the river, where it was quieter, and the quality of the stalls had nothing to do with them, and it was easy to look away if there was no money.
"It's Brother Chen and Cui ...... in front Brother Cui? ”
Chen Jing stopped when he heard the voice, turned his head and saw a pair of horse-drawn carriages, one head arched out of the window on one side of the carriage, and stared at them with confused eyes.
The appearance of the young man of the carriage car, Chen Jing smiled heartily, nodded yes, the young man's face immediately bloomed, and only then did he get out of the carriage, a black shadow attacked, and the neck of the young man who was about to get out of the carriage was just clamped.
"Yo, this isn't Xiao Zhao!"
