Chapter 6 Black Market, Three Punches Counter-Killing
"Your big coin."
"Thank you."
Ning Yan put the big dry coin into the pocket of the lining and carefully hid it.
to the corner west of town.
Many people set up stalls here, and they don't seem to be any different from ordinary vegetable stalls.
There was an old man sitting at the door with his eyes closed.
In front of him, there was a gong.
Ning Yan glanced at it and knew that he needed to pay money if he wanted to enter the black market.
I don't know how much it is.
He rolled his eyes, followed another person, and saw that the other party took out twenty copper plates and threw them into it, and he did the same.
Really.
The old man did not stop him and allowed him to enter the market.
When he arrived at the bazaar, he looked around and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
This way......
From medicinal herbs, animal meat and animal bones, to weapons and cheats, everything is available.
A thin man walked over.
"Brother, do you want martial arts cheats?"
"No, I don't."
"Huh? There are also ...... experiences."
Ning Yan waved his hand, his attitude firm.
It's hard to say whether these things are real or not.
Most of the true skills are passed down by word of mouth, and even if they are written down, they are mostly the first four that can be taught to most people, so you don't have to grind your mouth every time to write them down on paper for convenience.
So.
Even if it's real, he doesn't need it, and if he buys a fake one, there is a risk of scrapping, which is really not cost-effective.
He walked and walked.
Subsequently, Ning Yan noticed-
On the side of the stall of medicinal herbs, there are also stalls with bottles and jars, which look like they sell pills or dog skin plasters, and there are some books on the side of the pills.
He looked.
Identification of Southeast Herbal Medicine.
Herbal books?
Ning Yan glanced at the stall, and then couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Herbs on top......
There were two kinds he had seen on the island!
The boss is a sturdy man, and he knows that his strength is unmatched by his appearance.
"Boss, how much do these two medicinal herbs cost?"
"It's all a first-class medicinal herb, a hundred dollars and a tael."
"Do you accept it?"
"Collect, wet thirty dollars a tael, sun-dried eighty dollars a tael."
"How much does this book cost?"
Ning Yan continued to ask again.
The man looked up at him, and then said, "A big dry coin." β
It's so expensive!
The corners of Ning Yan's mouth twitched, but after thinking for a few seconds, he still took out a large dry coin.
"I'll buy a copy."
"Okay."
The strong man handed him the book, and then said, "If you want to sell it, you can come to the Four Winds House on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, if you sell enough medicinal materials on my side, I can pay you back half of the book money." β
"Understood, thank you."
Ning Yan bowed his head, opened his eyes and looked at it, the top was full of pictures of various medicinal materials, and the bottom was annotated with medicinal properties, growth environment, etc., and even how to pick it was written.
He sighed in his heart-
Even in the other world, the routines of the profiteers are very similar.
Medicinal herbs, books.
Selling medicine and repaying the money for books, one ring after another.
Is this "auspicious" luck?
Ning Yan didn't know, but he understood that the others either couldn't afford it, or it wouldn't be much use if they bought it.
It's better to buy a book of herbal medicine identification, learn it, maybe you can recognize some medicinal materials and sell them for money.
Some herbs understand the medicinal properties, and they may be able to save their lives.
Knowledge is wealth.
A big dry coin, it's worth the money!
The strong man looked up, and then said: "I have to say in advance for a newcomer like you, out of the black market, safety and after-sales are not responsible, but don't make a fuss about asking for a refund at that time." β
"No, thank you."
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
"Is anyone really coming out?"
Ning Yan's face was slightly solemn.
The boss just now was obviously reminding him to pay attention to the safety of his money, so he immediately raised his mind, and found that there was a linen shirt, an inconspicuous man who had been following him.
Following into the street, the other party suddenly accelerated.
Pickpocket?
The moment the other party hit him, Ning Yan's heart was blessed, and he suddenly went to the side, and then pulled it violently, bringing the other party into an alley.
The pickpocket was led to a stumble, and thenβ
A punch came to his head, and before he could recover, another punch was aimed at his head.
He was holding something in his hand, as if he was going to smash it in Ning Yan's face, but ......
Boom!
With a muffled sound, he was knocked directly to the ground, wailing in the alley.
was about to shout for help, but it turned out to be another punch in the face.
Three punches in a row.
Seeing that he was breathing in a lot and out of breath, Ning Yan stopped, leaned down to pick up the book that had been stolen just now, and scavenged away the money-related items on his body by the way.
"Rao, spare ......"
"Bang!"
Ning Yan kicked the other party's head again, and saw that he didn't move anymore before quietly leaving.
The Four Seas Gang does not raise pickpockets.
Most pickpockets like this kind cooperate with some shops in the black market, and they are all on the list when they catch fast, and it is common to catch and beat them up, and it is not uncommon to be beaten to death.
If you are arrested, you will scold at most a few words, and you will not do anything to Ning Yan.
Of course.
If it is stolen, the catcher will not help to recover it.
That's the rule of the market.
Ning Yan went out from the other side of the alley and returned to his home, still a little apprehensive.
That pickpocket must be dead.
You can't die if you don't die.
At that time, his body instinctively used the borrowing technique of the Canglang Jue.
If the root cause is discovered, I am afraid that a great disaster will come.
The other party is a pickpocket, and he is innocent of death.
But Ning Yan killed for the first time, and he was still a little restless after he came back.
He took a deep breath to adjust his mind, and it took a long time for him to recover, and he took out the pickpocket's bag and rummaged through it.
Poor batch!
There were more than a dozen copper plates in the bag, which were cleaner than his pockets.
But.
In addition to the money, there are several jars.
Ning Yan took it out, carefully opened it, stayed away, and made sure that there was no special smell before approaching to take a look.
Some kind of powder.
Poured it out and pinched it.
Paprika?
Boy!
If you think about it, when you hit him before, the opponent's fist had the action of hitting him in the face.
At that time, he thought it was a fight back, so Ning Yan hurriedly punched again.
Now think about it.
That hand may be holding this powder and trying to use it to fool his eyes, but luckily he doesn't talk nonsense, but the result of any more process may be completely different.
Ning Yan was a little frightened.
"The three religions and the nine streams have their own means, and they really can't be underestimated, but fortunately, they are alert."
"But this method can be used for reference."
If you take it by surprise, paprika can really play a key role.
It's like a battle in an alley.
If you are hit by chili powder, your eyes will inevitably hurt unbearably for a while, and if the other party takes out a knife again, the injury will be light.
Defects are ......
Masters and knowledgeable people can avoid it.
If you make chili water, the cost will go up, and the spray is currently difficult to come up with.
Ning Yan pondered for a while, the cost of simple chili powder is high, and the distance is not close, and it is easy to be blown away by wind or other means.
It can be mixed with lime, fine sand and other dust.
Then, he couldn't help but laugh.
"I don't know which luck it is, but it should have been triggered. Let's take a look at the medicine book first, if there are any medicinal materials that you happen to have seen, you can collect some later. β
Ning Yan picked up the book and began to read.
Before you know it, an afternoon passes.
He closed his notebook and pondered for a moment.
There are many kinds of medicinal materials recorded above, and according to the description of the book, there are six kinds of medicinal materials that are well known.
The first grade is the lowest, and the sixth grade is the highest.
Further up, it is said that there are higher-grade medicinal materials, but they are so rare that even the name has not been circulated.
This book contains the first and second grade medicinal materials commonly found in Jiangzhou.
What Ning Yan has seen on the island are Ning Xin Grass and Flowing Firefly Grass.
The former purifies the heart and invigorates the qi, and the latter generates and cultivates the yuan.
Medicinal herbs can be used for alchemy, but they are also effective when taken alone, but they are only weaker, and their medicinal properties need to be balanced.
Like flurry heat, it needs to be neutralized with cold medicine.
For example, Ningxin grass.
But.
If you want to learn alchemy, you still need adjuvants, fire control, etc., and there is a lot of knowledge, and it is impossible to learn it by just relying on a book of medicinal materials.
This is also the reason why the other party dares to write it.
Rao is so......
As field knowledge, it is definitely not small.
Ning Yan pinched the book.
The value of this big dry coin!
