Chapter 187: The Comer Is Not Good
Zhuo Mingjin breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and patted the snow on his body, took out a few clothes from the storage space, and wrapped himself tightly.
He knew that Tsurumi Hatsuyun was asking the key point, and every alchemist who didn't want to join the Jiyuan Division had one thing in common, that is, they would try their best to sell the pills they had refined with their own hands for money, otherwise they would not be able to turn around.
If you don't join Ji Yuansi, unless you have a big family to protect you, you can bring huge benefits to the family behind you, it's not a big deal, and it's not easy for a pure wild alchemist to sell the pill safely, and he will always be targeted by some well-intentioned people halfway.
However, there are very few pure wild alchemists, and if people want to become alchemists, it may not be the alchemy itself that attracts them, but that they can join the Jiyuan Division.
Although joining the Jiyuan Division will be restricted in personal freedom, but under the protection of the royal family, the power is also great, and a lot of resources can be mobilized, even if their own strength is as weak as ants, those families do not dare to use the alchemist.
Not to mention a family with a spirit-level powerhouse, even if it is a family with a Xuan-level venerable, if you want to attack the alchemist, you have to think about the consequences.
After all, alchemists are scarce animals, more national treasures than national treasures, and the alchemists in each town are strictly distributed.
Speaking of which, in the two years since Zhuo Mingjin made that wild alchemist friend, it was the two years of his most nourishing life, and there was no shortage of silver flowers in his hands, and he was carefree, and in terms of pills, he didn't look down on the ones that the family gave every quarter.
It's a pity to think about it, but it's a pity that it was discovered in the end, and then forced to join the Jiyuan Division and go to the Imperial City of Weizhou.
"Woman, if what I said is right, it's not easy for the elixir you refined to be exchanged for money, right?"
"That's it, and then what."
Zhuo Mingjin twisted, as if he didn't want to say anything, seeing this, Crane saw Chuyun raised his sword again, and said coldly: "Say." ”
The cold killing intent went straight into the Heavenly Spirit Gai, frightening the cold hairs on the back of his neck that stood on end, and shook the way out in one go.
"Don't, don't, I say! I said, if the woman wants to sell pills, then go to the ghost market! ”
"Ghost City ......" Tsuru saw Chuyun hang down his sword, and in the space of consciousness, Shen Yi also cheered up, and said to her: "Sure enough, that's the case." ”
The ghost market is actually the black market, in fact, when he was in Longchun Town, he discussed things related to the ghost market with Tsurumi Hatsuun, and wanted to take the pill to the ghost market to sell.
But the ghost market is an illegal second-hand trading market, and it is not something that is placed on the surface, if you want to find it, someone must lead the way, otherwise you can't find it if you look for it.
In fact, when the Tsurumi Mansion was still there, there were also family members who ran the ghost market, but the old witch was a woman, so these things were not for her to touch.
With so much pocket money every month, she is a real rich woman, she doesn't care about the ghost market, and she doesn't bother to care.
More people have heard of its existence, but not much is known about it.
"How much do you know about your ghost city? How do I find a ghost market? ”
"Woman, there is a ghost market in Li'an County, and my Zhuo family is one of the owners behind the ghost market, I am very familiar with it......"
"Stop, say it again, I'm not going to Li'an County."
"But if you don't go to Li'an County, how can I take you to the ghost city?"
"You don't lie to me here, although I don't know much about the ghost market, but it's not completely ignorant, there is more than one place in the ghost market, you just said, your Zhuo family is one of the owners behind the ghost market in Li'an County, and you are familiar with the ghost market, then you should have a traveler crow mark on your body."
"Huh?"
Seeing Chuyun's words, Zhuo Mingjin suddenly cried and mourned, and she stretched out her hand, her tone cold and unquestionable: "Give it to me." ”
There is no way, I can't fight and fight, I can only compromise.
Zhuo Mingjin took out a bronze medal wrapped with a red rope from the storage bag and handed it over, Tsuru saw that Chuyun didn't say anything after taking it, turned around directly, rode on his horse and walked forward, watching as he walked.
From her point of view, Shen Yi also saw the appearance of this bronze medal, the back was smooth and nothing, but there was a bird's head on the front, which seemed to be a crow's head, carved lifelikely.
"Have you finished reading?"
"I'm done."
She put away the crow print, ignored Zhuo Mingjin, and rode away as she rode away.
Of course, it's not that she doesn't care about the other party, but she is sure that this guy will follow.
Sure enough, Zhuo Mingjin quickly caught up on horseback, and said aggrievedly: "The woman ......"
"You don't have to beg me, I will never go to Li'an County, but I can escort you to Ju'a City, and when you get to Ju'a City, you can find a way to contact your family yourself."
Hearing this, Zhuo Mingjin's face turned from worry to joy: "Is this true? ”
She nodded, but the next second the conversation changed, and she said, "But, along the way, you must explain everything in the ghost market to me word by word." ”
"It's easy."
"Let's talk about how to enter the ghost market first, let's start now."
"Yes, you can." Zhuo Mingjin took a deep breath, organized the language, and quickly said: "Actually, the ghost market is not difficult to find, mainly depending on whether people understand this aspect, oh...... There will be no ghost market in some places, this is a good life to see, there is no ghost market, and it is a waste of time to find it. ”
“…… Is there a ghost market in Ju'a City? ”
"If there is a ghost market in Ju'a City, there is definitely a ghost market in it, if you want to find a ghost market, you must first find the face of the ghost market on Ming'er."
"How so?"
"Let's just say that the face of the ghost market in Li'an County is a treasure shop, and there is usually a black cat in front of the door, which can be seen at a glance, but the face of the ghost market in other places will lift half of the curtain behind the door, or hang rags, put no water door sea, let the beggars put the door, each place is different, in general, just pay attention, more than sixty percent is the face of the ghost market."
"How do you ask after finding the face of the ghost market?"
"It's not okay to ask directly, for example, when I entered the ghost market and saw the shopkeeper, I said that the bright moon in the sky is bright, and it is very good-looking, I don't know if the shopkeeper has a valuable place?"
"What does the shopkeeper say?"
"Of course they will say no, how can there be a white jade plate in the sky? At this time, the heroine, you are going to say that you met an immortal on the mountain to guide the way, and you came here by the breeze. It can also be said that he was blocked by a goblin on the road, and he was delirious and was blown by the demon wind. ”
"There's a difference?"
"Naturally, there is, the former has acquaintances, and the latter knows the doorway, but the first time the woman is looking for a ghost market, she still says that she has met an immortal, if the shopkeeper can understand, she will say that there are porcelain plates in the store, and the woman will say that you want to, if the shopkeeper doesn't understand, there is no way to go back, the woman turns her head and leaves."
"Hmm."
"At this time, the shopkeeper will tell you the location, and he will also ask whether the porcelain plate should be black or white, and the woman will have to consider it."
"Elaborate."
"The white is the lining, the black is the lining of the lining, don't enter without 10,000 taels of silver, just pretend not to hear, if you don't have it, you can say that you want to be white."
“……”
……
Before he knew it, the sky was completely dark, and Tsurumi Hatsuyun probably understood some of the rules of the ghost market from Zhuo Mingjin's mouth, and then set up camp in a relatively flat place.
is different from the past, now that there is one more Zhuo Mingjin, Shen Yi can only grieve himself, stay in the consciousness space and can't come out.
Anyway, everyone knows that he is an alchemist, and Tsurumi Hatsuyun also set up the Dan furnace generously, took out the scale, and threw the last remaining materials into it
After about an hour and a half, eleven Beast Pills were baked, which made Zhuo Mingjin, who was roasting the fire on the side, stunned, and couldn't help but ask: "Woman, when did you comprehend the Danhuo?" ”
Tsuru didn't reply when he saw the first cloud, and didn't give a positive answer, but said, "It's been a long time." ”
I don't know if I believed it or guessed that she didn't want to say more, Zhuo Mingjin didn't ask any more later, looked away for a while, and thought about something.
His alchemy master and friend, it took half a year for the alchemy technique to reach the point of small success, because he was responsible for selling the pills, many times, he would stay by the side to watch his alchemy, two years, I remember that the other party refined the most beast pills in the furnace is only ten, and usually, it will hover between eight or nine.
And this "Jiang Yiyi" in front of him, a furnace of Yun Beast Pill can be refined more than ten casually, although it took a longer time, but the appearance obviously exceeded the ordinary Yun Beast Pill, and the Yun Beast Pill from the hand of the Lu brand alchemist was also a little dimmer compared to it.
He couldn't help but start to be curious about her actual age, she didn't look big, and her face had the immaturity of a newcomer, it would be a bit far-fetched to say that it was a veteran alchemist.
Could it be that he is an alchemy genius?
But if you are the same age as yourself, you can cultivate to the right level to break through the level, and your talent is amazing enough, if you are still an alchemy genius, how can you live?
"Woman, when you get to Ju'a City, do you want me to help you take a look at the plate?" After a while, Zhuo Mingjin asked.
But when he saw that Chuyun heard this, he didn't say a word, and after putting away the Dan furnace, he leaned on the box behind him and opened a book without a name to check it.
There was a surge inside the Shentai, and soon a large cloud of white gas gushed out, and before it could disperse, it was half eaten by Shen Yi in one bite.
She was stunned, but said nothing.
"Ouch, I'll go, this person is a little annoying, hurry up to Ju'a City to send this guy away, there are outsiders here, and I can't come out to collect wind."
"Just bear with it, and when we get out of the girder, we don't need to do this."
"At your speed, it will take half a month to get out of the beam at the earliest, and this is still a situation of not resting, not alchemy, and not selling and buying things."
“……”
"Eh, it seems that you are out of materials for refining the Beast Pill, right?"
"You can also refine four furnaces."
"Over, I'm going hungry again."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll keep all the pills I just refined for you, and you can eat them all when you get to Ju'a City."
"That's pretty much it...... By the way, when will your Danhuo turn red? ”
"This ...... It shouldn't be too long. Tsurumi Hatsukumo opened her hand, and a wisp of flame like silk appeared from the palm of her hand, illuminating her face delicately.
As she succeeded in alchemy again and again, the color of the Dan Huo gradually darkened, and she thought that it would take a long time for the Dan Fire to turn from orange to red, but she didn't expect it to be so fast.
It's a bit more than expected.
"Okay, but when you get to the Zhu family, are you sure that people will accept you?" Shen Yi asked again, these days, he and Tsurumi Hatsuun have talked about a lot of things, and they also know a lot.
In the Zhu family, to be honest, the only thing the old witch knows is Tsurumi Yanqiu, who is her aunt, but I heard the old witch say that this aunt and her have not met for almost ten years, and under the influence of time, even family affection will fade.
Even if the family relationship has not changed, Tsurumi Yanqiu is the housemother in the Zhu family, and what is the housemother?
Although the status is not inferior to the head of the family, it is the maternal power behind it that can really determine the size of its power.
And now that the Tsurumi clan has been beheaded all over the house, she is left alone, and when the Zhu family receives the news, unless that Tsurumi Yanqiu cultivates to the spiritual level, it will be greatly affected.
Tsurumi Chuyun was silent for a while, she naturally thought about these questions, but now that she has no home, where can she go except to go to Nazhu's house to find her aunt?
However, she quickly figured it out, out of the beam, there is a broader world waiting for her, there is really nowhere to go, and it is not impossible to join the Yuan Division of other countries.
"What's the difference between accepting and not accepting?"
"What's the matter, you want to eat the imperial grain?"
"Huh?"
"Hey, whatever you want, you have to take care of me anyway."
"Got it."
The two sides fell into silence, she put down the book in her hand, leaned her head on the box, and looked at the snowflakes that kept falling outside the shed, and the crackling and burning bonfire set off the silence of the winter night, making her feel a little peaceful inside.
……
Late at night, Zhuo Mingjin, who was half-asleep and half-awake, turned over, and his hand unconsciously touched the snow outside the mat, and the cold touch made him wake up suddenly.
Turning his head to look left and right, he found that after seeing that Hatsukumo was on the opposite side and did not leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated, and got up again and walked outside the shed, for fear of waking up the other party.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the shed, he accidentally stepped on a branch.
Click!
This sound did not startle Tsurumi Chuyun, but caused Shen Yi, who was digesting the red gas.
"What's going on?" Paying attention to the old witch's perspective, but she was closing her eyes and couldn't see anything, so she could only use her senses to sweep around, and couldn't help but shake her head after finding that it was just Zhuo Mingjin.
This guy didn't know what to do, so he walked outside very carefully, and only stopped when he came to a place more than ten meters away from the old witch, and soon, Shen Yi heard the sound of rushing water.
“……”
didn't pay too much attention to it, Shen Yi closed his eyes and was about to continue, but before that, he subconsciously extended his senses and swept farther away.
And this sweep made him stunned directly.
Within a radius of more than 100 meters, except for the old witch and Zhuo Mingjin, I don't know when there was a large number of people, and they were approaching the shed little by little.
"Who are those?" Shen Yi was puzzled, but he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly made a voice to wake up Tsuru Chuyun.
"Old witch! Old witch! ”
"Huh? What's wrong? His voice echoed in his mind, and Tsurumi Hatsuun immediately withdrew from his cultivation state.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the empty mat across the fire,
"Where did Zhuo Mingjin go?"
"He let the water go."
"You're going to wake me up for this?"
"Fart, am I that bored? Someone's coming! ”
"Where?"
"On your left, about twenty feet away, there are dozens of people." Shen Yi yelled, realizing that he wasn't joking, and Tsurumi Hatsuun's face became serious.
She turned her head to look at the forest to the right, but she couldn't see anything in the black light, and her senses couldn't extend that far.
"It's all in the direction I'm looking?"
"Well, it's just that the positions are very separate, like ...... He is still holding a weapon, and the person who came is not good. (End of chapter)
