Chapter 142: Jiang Bai and Wanbaolou
When the other party saw Liang Xingyang and his party, he was slightly stunned, and then sped up and ran over.
It wasn't until Liang Xingyang was in front of him that he couldn't stop, gasping and saying, "Distinguished guests, I'm really sorry, I'm late." ā
"I am Jiang Bai, an outer disciple of Shang Tianzong, Senior Brother Songyu sent me over to serve you, if you have any needs, please speak, you are welcome."
There was no need for Liang Xingyang and his party to ask, Jiang Bai introduced himself in a few words, and explained his intention by the way.
Liang Xingyang looked at the young man in front of him who was about nineteen years old, ordinary in appearance, not tall, and ordinary in all aspects, and said gently: "Thank you Songyu Daoyou for your concern, everything in the room is complete, and we have no other needs." ā
"Oh." Jiang Bai nodded, glanced at everyone, and then at the courtyard behind everyone, and asked, "Are you distinguished guests going out?" ā
"Exactly." Liang Xingyang didn't hide it from him, and said with a smile: "The first time we came to Tianguang City, we heard that Tianguang City was bustling and lively, so we wanted to go out for a walk while it was still dark. ā
Jiang Bai suddenly said: "So that's the case. After a pause, he said: "I grew up in Tianguang City since I was a child, and I am very familiar with Tianguang City, if you don't mind, let me take you around the city?" ā
"It's fine." Having a local person as a "tour guide" is naturally much more convenient than a group of people walking around like headless flies. Therefore, Liang Xingyang did not refuse Jiang Bai, and said: "I'm tired of Jiang Bai's fellow Daoists." ā
Jiang Bai's face turned red, and he said shyly: "You don't have to be polite, this is what I should do." ā
As he spoke, he took a small half step back to the side and said, "Distinguished guests, please come with me." ā
Liang Xingyang bowed his head lightly and led Qiqi and his party to follow up.
Compared with Song Yu, Jiang Bai can be regarded as taciturn.
On the way from the courtyard to the mountain gate, he almost didn't speak again, and only lowered his head and led Liang Xingyang and his party out.
Even if you meet a disciple in the sect, it is the same, and you don't have the idea of saying hello at all.
Of course, the other party had no intention of greeting him, and passed by directly without squinting, like a stranger.
Seeing this scene, Liang Xingyang was a little surprised.
It seems that Jiang Bai doesn't seem to get along well with the other disciples. But......
Thinking of the scene when they first met, Jiang Bai's words and deeds are impeccable, and he is not the kind of character that is brainless and easy to offend people.
It's not popular, but at least it should be quite popular.
The opposite is true.
That's a bit weird.
Liang Xingyang couldn't help staring at Jiang Bai's figure for a while, and was about to open his mouth to test a thing or two, Jiang Lianshan walked quickly to him, with anticipation in his eyes, and asked, "Xiao ...... Brother Xuan Zhen, do we really want to buy flying machines? ā
"Of course." Liang Xingyang nodded without thinking, "Buy one, let's go out in the future." ā
"What kind of do you want to buy?"
Speaking of this, the bookworm also came to his senses, and rushed to Liang Xingyang's side in three steps and two steps, and said with bright eyes: "The same as Zhang Wu?" ā
"Not good." Liang Xingyang shook his head and said seriously: "His flying machine is magnificent, but it is not very friendly to the controller, he has to stand outside all the time in the wind and rain, and it is easy to get cold legs for a long time!" ā
After Liang Xingyang said this, the bookworm and Jiang Lianshan instantly remembered that Zhang Wu was as pale as a ghost, his limbs trembled, and he couldn't walk in front of the mountain gate, and they couldn't help but dispel the idea of buying the same model.
"So what are we going to buy?" The bookworm asked.
Liang Xingyang replied to him, "I don't know, when we get to the city, let's take a look." ā
Jiang Bai on the side heard that they wanted to buy a flying machine, lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, raised it again, looked at Liang Xingyang, and took the initiative to ask: "Distinguished guest, do you want to buy a flying machine?" ā
"yes." Liang Xing raised his head and asked, "Do you know where Jiangbai Daoyou sells flying machines in the city?" ā
"If you want good quality and low price, you can buy it at Wanbao Building. If you want to be imposing, you can buy it at the Treasure Cabinet. ā
Liang Xingyang thought to himself, things like aircraft are like cars, and they naturally don't pursue style at home, as long as they are comfortable and easy to use. He said: "We buy aircraft for daily use, as long as it is comfortable. ā
Jiang Bai was clear and said with a smile: "Then I will take you to Wanbao Tower first, if you are not satisfied, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion to have a look." ā
Liang Xingyang said: "Okay." ā
With a goal, everyone changed their previous leisurely stroll and unconsciously accelerated their pace.
Soon, Liang Xingyang and his party came to the city market.
Similar to Liang Xingyang's imagination, the streets of the market are lined with all kinds of stalls. There are merchants selling all kinds of herbs, ores, and rare metals, there are all kinds of magic weapons, weapons and armor made by craftsmen, and there are booksellers who sell all kinds of books, maps and information on cultivation. Cultivators shuttled from one stall to another, picking out what they needed and haggling with the stall owners from time to time.
Among them, there are many immortal cultivators who are also setting up stalls or selling, they are standing or sitting, some are showing their magic weapons and elixirs, and some are telling various stories of immortal cultivation.
The air is filled with all kinds of strange aromas, including the fragrance of herbs, the cold and hard smell of metal, and the aroma of various delicacies.
According to Jiang Bai, there is also a large dining area in the central area of the market, where many restaurants and food stalls gather, which is the favorite place for cultivators, and many cultivators taste all kinds of food there, talking about their experiences and experiences in cultivating, and it is lively all year round.
The Wanbao Building and the Treasure Pavilion are located on both sides of the dining area, one east and one west.
When Liang Xingyang heard this, he joked: "These two are so close, they should often fight in the ring, right?" ā
Unexpectedly, Jiang Bai looked at him with a shocked face and said in astonishment: "How do you know? ā
Liang Xingyang also looked surprised, "It's really not to deal with?" ā
"Hmm." Jiang Bai put away the shock on his face and nodded, "Wanbao Tower is under the name of the You Dragon Sect, and the Treasure Pavilion was created by the sect master of my sect. The Youlong Sect and our sect have always been at odds, especially some time ago, the Youlong Sect used the matter of our sect's Elder Yuan Immortal to go to the topic, and wantonly ruined the reputation of our sect, making the contradiction between the two sects deeper and deeper. ā
Hearing this, everyone was a little surprised, but not very surprised.
Jiang Lianshan happened to be standing beside Ming Wenbai, couldn't help but tug on his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Xiaowen, it turns out that this Wanbao Building is your family's property?" ā
Ming Wenbai also learned about this just now, and said blankly: "IāI don't know." I've never asked about family matters. ā
Anyway, everything is supported by tomorrow's face, a genius brother who is rare to see in a hundred years, he is only responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun, and it is good to be happy every day.
Jiang Lianshan: "......"
"Then you're so happy." Jiang Lianshan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
This sentence immediately attracted the approval of the bookworm and Chaos, who said in unison: "What a good life!" It's obviously a snake, but it can become a rice worm that eats and waits for death! ā
It's really envious and jealous.
Facing the ridicule of the two, Ming Wenbai's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed, "This, who made my second brother amazing?" When I was young, my ancestor and father were in the family, and now that I have grown up, and the second brother, a monk wizard, shines on the lintel, I have no ambition and no pressure, so I naturally become a rice worm. ā
Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Liang Xingyang suddenly opened his mouth and asked Jiang Bai, "Since Shang Tianzong and Youlong Sect don't deal with each other, as a disciple of Shang Tianzong, why do you still recommend me to go to Wanbao Tower?" ā
Jiang Bai smiled slightly, his plain face showed a bit of righteousness, and said seriously: "I'm just talking about things." ā
They want good and cheap things, he naturally recommends Wanbaolou, and he will not exaggerate and boast about the treasure pavilion because the treasure pavilion is Shang Tianzong's.
After listening to this, Liang Xingyang showed a little surprise on his face, and said, "I see." ā
Jiang Bai smiled and nodded, leading them in the direction of the west. After a while, I came to the door of Wanbao Tower.
It is a quaint two-storey building. As soon as you walk into the store, you will be greeted by a faint woody scent, and when you smell it, you can feel a sense of tranquility and antiquity, as if you have stepped into a mysterious and vibrant world of peace.
As soon as you look up, you can see some ancient cultivation items hanging on the walls of the shop, such as brass magic vessels, ancient sword scabbards, embroidered charms, and porcelain bottles of elixir. These items are placed on wooden shelves with intricately carved pieces, and each one is very precious.
At the heart of the store is a lobby where customers trade with the owner.
The floor of the lobby is paved with bluestones, and whenever the sunlight shines in, the texture of the bluestone will be reflected, as if you can see the flow of time, gorgeous and mysterious.
There is an old-fashioned mahogany counter in the center of the hall, and behind the counter sits an old man in a dark blue robe, who is the owner of the shop, whose surname is Bai Mingyu, and everyone calls him "Bai Shopkeeper".
Because of the bitterness between Youlongzong and Shang Tianzong, and being in Shang Tianzong's territory, even if there are many treasures in the building and the price is affordable, even if Wanbaolou is an old merchant and was founded a hundred years earlier than the Treasure Pavilion, it still can't withstand the impact of the Treasure Pavilion.
Especially during this period of the big competition of the sects, no matter how big or small the sects, they all want to climb to the first sect in the world, Shang Tianzong, and it is too late to please Shang Tianzong, how can they come to Wanbaolou without eyes?
Therefore, at this moment, Wanbaolou is extremely deserted, except for the white shopkeeper and the three juniors, there is no one else at all.
Seeing Liang Xingyang and his party entering, especially the young man who was still wearing the clothes of the outer disciples of Shangtian Sect, the white shopkeeper's face sank suddenly, "What are you doing again?" Don't think that Tianguang City is your Shang Tianzong's territory, and you can do whatever you want! Tell you, the Dragon Wandering Sect is not easy to mess with! Back then, the sect master of my sect founded Wanbaolou here, and he didn't know where to play in the mud at the beginning! ā
Jiang Bai was stunned, followed his hateful gaze and looked down at the clothes on his body, and then said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Bai, you misunderstood." I'm not here to make trouble, but there are a few distinguished guests who want to buy flying machines, and I will bring them over to have a look? ā
After speaking, he gave way to the side, and Liang Xingyang and his party were instantly exposed to the sight of the white shopkeeper.
Guest?
The white shopkeeper was stunned, stared at Liang Xingyang for a long time, then moved his gaze slightly, stayed on the faces of Qi Qi and the others for a few seconds, and finally landed on Ming Wenbai's face, blinked blankly, as if he was not sure, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he was not hallucinating, he said in surprise: "Ladies and gentlemen, why are you here?!" ā
He quickly bypassed the counter, led the three juniors, walked in front of Liang Xingyang, bent down at Liang Xingyang and his party, and made a deep bow, then straightened up and said without hiding his excitement: "Ladies and gentlemen, when did you come?" Why don't you send a letter in advance, I'll arrange someone to pick you up. ā
Compared with his excitement, Liang Xingyang and his party were extremely dazed, especially Ming Wenbai, who was confused: "You, do you know us?" ā
"Know, how don't you know." The white shopkeeper looked at them with a smile and said: "Your lords are the distinguished guests of the Dragon Sect, the sect master specially ordered a notice some time ago, so that all shops everywhere should remember the appearance of a few adults, once you are lucky enough to meet your lords, you must be treated well!" ā
Ming Wenbai said "ah", and suddenly thought that he had gone out to deliver a letter before, and thought that after ten days, he would go back to the infernal hell in the barren mountain village, so he couldn't sleep at night, and he couldn't stay in fear all day, so he used the sound transmission jade to complain to the second brother, never thought that the ninth ancestor and his old man suddenly appeared, and learned that the gluttony was now also in the barren mountain village, and hurriedly asked if the four murderers had appeared, was it that Han Qi was also hidden in the barren mountain village, but they hadn't found it yet?
Immediately, he told the Ninth Gaozu that he threatened him to send a letter, and guessed that Xiaoxi who received the letter was Hanji, and the Ninth Gaozu hurriedly asked him to paint Xiaoxi's appearance.
At that time, he thought that the Ninth Gaozu was simply curious, so he asked two or three more words, but he didn't expect that the Ninth Gaozu wanted people to make portraits and inform his subordinates to pay attention to this group of people, so as not to offend them!
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy! The Ninth Ancestor is really far-sighted and wise!
Ming Wenbai secretly sighed in his heart, and at this time, Jiang Bai said with a surprised face: "It turns out that you are the guests of the Dragon Sect?" ā
Although the Youlong Sect is not as good as Shang Tianzong, there were signs of decline in the past few years, but in the end, it is a century-old sect with a rich heritage, even if it is in the twilight of the West Mountain, its strength should not be underestimated, and it maintains the top ten rankings in the sect rankings. Not to mention, there has also been a cultivator in the Dragon Sect over the years!
In Jiang Bai's view, the restoration of the former glory of the Dragon Sect was just around the corner.
This is the consensus of all cultivators.
Therefore, even if You Long Sect and Shang Tianzong had a bad relationship, even if many people wanted to curry favor with Shang Tianzong, but no one dared to do anything to the people of You Dragon Sect, and they did not dare to make trouble in the shops under the name of You Long Sect, at most, they did not patronize the shops of You Long Sect, but went to the business house opened by Shang Tianzong to express their position.
For this kind of behavior, Jiang Bai scoffed.
It's just that he never expected that the group of people around him who were dressed ordinarily, didn't even have flying machines, and didn't seem to have any cultivation, would actually have something to do with the Dragon Wandering Sect!
When Liang Xingyang heard this, he smiled and said, "It's just that I have a relationship with Sect Master Long." ā
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to say more, Jiang Bai didn't ask, but suddenly said, "So that's the case." ā
The white shopkeeper looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Just now, this little brother said that you adults want to buy flying machines, right?" It just so happens that we got a batch of flying machines in our store the day before yesterday, so you can follow me to see if you have a favorite? ā
As he spoke, he turned around and instructed Xiao Er behind him, one to make tea, one to prepare pastries, and one to guard the counter, ready to personally lead Liang Xingyang and his party to the second floor.
According to the white shopkeeper, the second floor is all boutiques, except for the regular customers in the store, it is not easy to display to the outside world, and it is a private trading area.
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Bai immediately said, "I'll wait for you here." ā
For his eyesight, the white shopkeeper was very satisfied. After pretending to be polite, he ordered Xiao Er to serve him refreshments, and then led Liang Xingyang and his party upstairs.
As soon as he came to the second floor, Liang Xingyang was shocked by everything in front of him. If the hall on the first floor is spacious and bright, it is full of opulence. Then, the second floor is simple and heavy, full of mystery and antiquity.
Rows of tall shelves are filled with all kinds of rare ritual utensils and exquisite utensils, some simple and heavy, some delicate and elegant, each of which seems to tell a unique story that belongs only to them.
The white shopkeeper led everyone through the rows of shelves to the shelves dedicated to the aircraft, pointed to the magic weapons on them, and introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, these are the new flying machines. They were carefully forged by the refining masters of the Dragon Sect, and they contained the mana of the refining masters. Just like this one......"
He picked up a palm-sized flying wing-shaped aircraft, and introduced to Liang Xingyang and his party: "This aircraft can be large or small, it is very convenient to carry at ordinary times, it can be hidden directly in the sleeve, when using it, the operator only needs to inject his own mana into it, it can automatically become suitable for the size of the operator, the operator will open the hidden buckle on it, it can be covered on the back of the operator, fly with the operator, from a distance, it looks like a pair of huge flying wings, extremely majestic!" ā
Chaos: "......"
Glancing at the flying machine, he said to Ming Wenbai, "This refiner is your clansman, right?" ā
Except for the Snake Clan, who likes to fly around with a pair of wings on their backs?
As soon as the words fell, he was stabbed by Qi Qi.
Chaos suddenly remembered that Qiqi's original body also had a pair of wings, so he couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and said with a dry smile: "I mean, a pair of wings is normal, but if there are four wings, it will be a bit perverted." ā
And the Singing Snake clan happened to have four wings.
Ming Wenbai: "......"
What does it mean to have four wings to be perverted?
This is innate, and it's not that they want to be like this, let alone something they specially transformed, how is it perverted?
Ming Wenbai stared at the chaos angrily, endured it, endured it and endured it, and finally couldn't hold back, and was about to scold a few words, when he heard Liang Xingyang say to the white shopkeeper: "It's good, it's just a little unsuitable for us." ā
"That'...... I wonder what kind of flying machine you want? ā
"I want a flying machine that doesn't have to be exposed to people." Liang Xingyang replied.
The white shopkeeper didn't know why, "Why?" ā
The reason why everyone uses aircraft is, firstly, for the convenience of travel, and secondly, isn't it just for the sake of face?
If the controller is not exposed to people, then who knows that this magnificent flying machine is yours? Isn't this tantamount to flattering the blind and wasting all his efforts?
