Bai Murong nodded, his childish face full of yearning.

After a string of silver bell-like laughter, the noblewoman took out an identical green jade vial from behind her, opened the mouth of the bottle, and a thin brush stuck to the cap was dipped in a layer of blue sè liquid. She gently applied the liquid to the inside of Bai Murong's wrist, and a strange fragrance came to her nose, making her eyes light up.

"It's so fragrant, I want this bottle of perfume. Bai Murong turned his head to look at Chen Yunsheng, she naturally didn't have half a spirit stone on her body, and it was not her turn to pay the bill.

"How much is this bottle of perfume worth?" asked Chen Yunsheng.

"There is a price tag on the counter, please take a look. The lady said delicately.

Chen Yunsheng opened Huang Sè's ayazi, and sure enough, he saw a small price tag in front of each bottle on the counter, with some words written on it in Juanxiu's penmanship, and a small three was written on the price tag of the green jade bottle money, Chen Yunsheng secretly thought, this price is really as small as the capacity of this bottle. Three medium-grade spirit stones are too exaggerated, so it can only be three lower-grade spirit stones.

He took out three lower-grade spirit stones from the Naxu Ring and put them on the counter, nodded at the noble lady, and signaled that he had paid. But the other party didn't seem to see it, and after a while, Chen Yunsheng couldn't help it, and said unhappily: "The spirit stone has already been paid, can we take the things?"

The noble lady showed a skillful look of disdain in her eyes, and a "hum" came from between her noses, and she glanced at Chen Yunsheng with the white part of her phoenix eyes, and said, "Three lower grade spirit stones? Are you kidding? This is sea incense liquid, don't you see that this is the signboard of Xiangkou'er?" She stretched out her hand and pointed to a crystal hanging in front of the stall, which was inlaid with two half-opening gold rings that overlapped together, and was illuminated by the sun, which made the golden light sound four times.

Chen Yunsheng felt a little ashamed, and hurriedly took out three medium-grade spirit stones from the Naxu Ring, placed them on the counter, and said, "This is enough." ”

To his surprise, the lady's face was still blue, and she said unhappily: "The prices here are all based on the above grade spirit stones, and they are not the same. The quality of the products of Xiangkouer is trustworthy, don't let me explain it a second time. ”

Chen Yunsheng felt that his head was a little swollen, and calculated the above-grade spirit stones, that is, a small bottle of perfume would cost three high-grade spirit stones, and he suddenly had an idea, "Is this a robbery?"

Seeing Chen Yunsheng's expression, the noble lady smiled disdainfully: "Is it expensive? Do you know how many Kagawa fish you need to catch in this small bottle of sea incense liquid to extract it? 10,000 of them! Do you understand? Each Kagawa fish only has the gallbladder part that can produce a little sea incense liquid, according to the calculation of three lower grade spirit stones for one fish, do I want you to have three high-grade spirit stones?"

Chen Yunsheng's calm heart suddenly rose with anger, but his face became more and more calm, "Just for this aroma, you want to kill 10,000 fish?"

"Of course, the fish themselves don't know how to hurt, and they still need you to feel distressed? Hmph, I'm angry when I see you like this, if you can't afford it, hurry up, don't stand in front of the counter to block me from doing business. The grace on the lady's face was swept away, and the thick philistine aura surged up, which made Chen Yunsheng extremely disgusted in his heart.

He put away the spirit stones on the counter and whispered to Bai Murong, "Let's go, this kind of thing is not for us." You're naturally beautiful, and you don't need this kind of thing to decorate. ”

Originally, Chen Yunsheng expected that Bai Murong would not agree happily, but to his surprise, the woman nodded and agreed very happily. The two of them left Xiangkou'er's stall amid the chatter and sneers of the noblewoman, and the farther away they were, the calmer Chen Yunsheng's heart became, he really couldn't understand why some people had to sacrifice tens of thousands of living beings just to get that little vanity.

Walking to a place where there were few people, Bai Murong stopped and said seriously: "I think what the jade girl cultivation manual says is right, as a woman, you should be proud of your appearance, you should think that you are the most beautiful, excessive decoration can only show the inferiority complex in your heart." Are you right?"

Chen Yunsheng nodded extremely seriously, and before he spoke, he only heard a hoarse voice from the direction of the corner, "That's a good point." ”

The two men turned their heads and saw a thin old man in simple clothes standing behind a rustic stall, which was full of all kinds of books, wired, scrolled, and even bamboo slips and silk books. The front door of the old man's stall can be full of birds, and there is a cold plum next to the stall, which is automatic without wind, and the dark fragrance is floating and floating.

Chen Yunsheng came to the stall, picked up a book casually and rolled his eyes a few times, couldn't help but raise his head, looked at the old man behind the stall, he was surprised: "This book of water scriptures records the origin, flow direction, and water patterns of the three major rivers in the Lantau Mountains, which is an important document, how can it be placed here?"

"Why can't you put it here?, don't you allow that dead woman to put the perfume stall here, and don't let my old man prop up the old book stall?" said the old man with some displeasure.

"I think this kind of classic book should be in the classic library, but I don't know why it's on the stall. Chen Yunsheng explained.

The old man said casually: "These books were originally kept in the Classics Museum, but these days the hearts of the people are not ancient, who still has the heart to look through these old things, all to see what kind of cultivation exercises, a mere fire law book can be sold for twenty medium-grade spirit stones." But no one was willing to buy a 10,000-year-old history scroll from the Qingzhou Continent with ten lower grade spirit stones. How sad is this. ”

Chen Yunsheng's heart was touched, he really understood the history of Qingzhou, which was of great benefit to himself and the country, and it was much more meaningful than just cultivating a fire method. He nodded and said, "Ask the old gentleman for his name." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm just an ant who has occasionally seen the sky, these books were originally stored in the Huanzhu Building in Ziluo Island, and I am the owner of that book pavilion. These ancient books have been with me for most of the world, traversing five continents, and I have set the end of my journey as Huangzhou. ”

"Why do you want to give up a stable life and choose to wander? Even if you want to travel to the world, you don't need to bring so many books with you. Chen Yunsheng was puzzled.

The old man smiled and said: "I have two major hobbies in my life, reading and writing, my country has changed hands, and now His Majesty doesn't like these old things, saying that he wants to burn them down, and he wants to transform my mind, the old man was born lazy, he likes to be at peace with what he encounters, and he can't stand the blind tossing of the people who have been beaten with chicken blood, so he left." ”

"Anyone who can buy these books with spirit stones is naturally a book lover, and they will find a home for them. In addition, you can also earn some spirit stones, you know, if you want to wander between different continents these days, it will cost a lot of money. The old man sighed.

After being silent for a while, Chen Yunsheng suddenly said: "The old man is well-informed, I have something I want to ask, do you know about insects? It is that a cultivator suddenly turns into a worm, or a monster with a human head and a worm body. ”

The old man looked at him for a while, and said with a serious expression, "Are you talking about corpse chrysalis?"

"Corpse chrysalis?" Chen Yunsheng had a puzzled look on his face.

The old man frowned and said, "The corpse chrysalis has something to do with what you described, but the old man has never seen it, and I'm afraid he won't be able to live until now after seeing it." I heard that this thing is extremely ferocious, Ping Rì is a human, and it can turn into an insect at a critical time, and it is a side branch of ghost cultivation, because it is particularly cruel when cultivating corpse chrysalis, this kind of ghost thing is almost extinct. ”

"Regarding the corpse chrysalis, please also ask the old gentleman to give a detailed explanation. Just like a person groping in the dark suddenly found a glimmer of light, Chen Yunsheng hurriedly asked.

"This ......," the old man patted his head and thought about it, and rummaged through the vast old books for a long time, and finally found an old slag-free thread-bound book, leaving spots of dull yellow on the black title page. I only heard him say: "There are some records about ghost cultivation in this book, and I should give it to you." ”

Chen Yunsheng opened the title page and saw that there were dozens of ghost cultivation methods densely recorded on it, among which there was a saying of insect paths, he was extremely excited, and quickly took out a high-grade spirit stone from the Naxu Ring, put it on the counter full of old books, and said excitedly: "Thank you, old man." ”

The old man saw a huge high-grade spirit stone, and hurriedly said, "Too much, too much, where can I use so many spirit stones." The old man has not been favored by others for the rest of his life, and it seems that he can only give you a few more old books to make up for it. ”

As he spoke, he took out a few colorful books from the bottom of the box, although he did not retreat at all after many years, it was obvious that the materials used in the books were very particular.

Chen Yunsheng glanced at a book cover on it with a few words written in ancient seal script, Aurora scenery, the old man inadvertently turned the book cover to reveal the patterns in the book, it turned out to be a map.

"This is an atlas?" Chen Yunsheng said in surprise

"That's right, this is a book about the general map of Aurora, I think some areas are not very accurate, but it is not easy to be big and complete. The author was a monk for a thousand years, and his lifelong desire was to draw a map of the world, and he did it, but unfortunately, this catalogue was not seen by many people. The old man sighed.

"Aurora, do you say the name of this world is Aurora?"

When Chen Yunsheng heard this word for the first time, he felt like he was empowered. The biggest difference between humans and animals is whether they are self-conscious, and when they recognize their own existence, it is possible to recognize the worldly realm. In the same way, only when you realize that your world is not the only one can you open your eyes and look at the starry sky.

The old man became more and more happy, and said to Yan Yue: "You are one of the few people who heard about this and did not think that the old man was a psychopath. I'm relieved and happy. The closest world to us is called the Honggu Realm, which is the easiest to go, and many people have been there, but unfortunately I don't have this kind of blessing. Then there's the Land of Eternal Night, where nine out of ten years are immersed in darkness and extremely cold. The Land of Sleeplessness, as opposed to the Land of Eternal Night, is very hot and dry, and nine of the ten years it is all daylight. ”

As the old man spoke, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, his face full of yearning for the unknown.
