Chapter 10 Enter the Imperial City
"Where's my black cracker? Wrapped in a gray cloth? Lao Dong, did you steal it while I was asking for advice? Li Jiaotou, who had just returned from Lin Lao, slapped Lao Dong, who was sleeping under the tarpaulin, and Lao Dong, who was awakened, got up.
Li Jiaotou saw that there was no short gun of his own in the car, "I saw something running over just now, you are good, go and see?" ”
Lao Dong, who had not yet come back to his senses, replied in a daze, picked up his knife and went towards the place where Li Jiaotou had just pointed.
Li Jiaotou grinned at the hidden wind who heard the movement and came out to see, "Let Lao Dong move." ”
When he was about to leave, he saw a gray cloth under the place where Cheng Yun was sitting before, which was very familiar, "Where did your brother go?" ”
"He went to the forest with the green ox, saying that he would come back immediately."
Yinfeng thought that something had happened to Chengyun and wanted to find Lin Lao, and was about to jump off the car when the sound of cow hooves stomping the ground came.
Cheng Yun was sitting between the two horns of the green ox and was about to show off the demon beast White Eagle behind him, when he saw Li Jiaotou next to Yin Feng looking meaningfully at the black short spear he was holding in his hand.
Cheng Yun smiled and took out the gray cloth from the car, carefully wiped the black short gun, and handed it to Li Jiaotou, "Look at it, take it and try it, I forgot to tell the sect leader, I'm sorry I'm embarrassed hahaha." ”
Li Jiaotou smelled the obvious smell of blood, and smiled at Cheng Yun, who was smiling, and said to the white eagle corpse, "A cup of essence blood." ”
Cheng Yun's face collapsed, nodded reluctantly, took out the demon pill from his arms and said to Yin Feng, "This white eagle should be no problem if it is sold, you can take this demon pill." ”
Yin Feng took it seriously, and glanced at the unwashed blood stains in Cheng Yun's ears, "Brother, this should be the Cold Feather Eagle who has become a demon beast, are you okay?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I was yelled at." Cheng Yun waved his hand, saw that the old village chief began to beckon everyone to act, let Yin Feng get in the car and stay, carried the white eagle corpse onto the truck, and jumped up himself to begin to decompose the demon beast corpse.
After everyone walked for a while, Lao Dong jumped steadily from the tree on the side of the road and landed next to Chengyun, "This can hunt demon beasts?" ”
Cheng Yun pouted, "Looking for an opportunity to sneak attack and waste two wings, the back is similar to a fierce beast that is about to become a demon, but it was overshadowed." ”
Lao Dong looked at the decomposed boy greedily and carefully detailed the complete demon beast.
"Don't you play with a small jade cup every day?" Lao Dong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it out when he said this.
Cheng Yun looked at it and saw that it was indeed small enough, and took a cup of cold essence blood, "Send it to the head of the sect and tell him that I thank him." ”
Lao Dong knew that he would be wrong, sighed carefully, and then went to Li Jiaotou with the cup.
When Li Jiaotou saw Lao Dong coming over with a small cup, he scolded the iron rooster with a smile, took a delicate animal skin bag from his waist and poured the essence blood into it.
Lao Dong, who had just sat down and was going to learn the method of decomposing the fortune, had more than half of the wrapped demon beast liver in his hand, "Go back to the village to find Lin Lao to catch the medicine for three coins of sexual heat, with wine bubbles can invigorate qi and blood and dispel abnormal qi, the sequelae of your arm that has been unsmooth since that three years ago should be solved." ”
Lao Dong accepted it with a smile, hugged his fists, and moved his butt towards the car leaning against the hidden wind.
The convoy of Baiwen Village swayed for three hours, and finally left the small road and entered the main road, and it was only an hour's official road to the Imperial City of Shisu.
Chengyun also finished decomposing the demon beast early, put away what should be collected, put it on Lin Lao's car, and played with his fingers turning the tail of the green cow.
Seeing that the trees and grass on both sides of the road were no longer the ones before, there were several officials at a distance to inspect the passing cars and people.
A little further afield, there are some small stalls selling wine and food, and some people even set aside a large piece of land for all kinds of pack animals to rest and feed, and the prices are naturally clearly written.
Three years ago, I may not understand the fortune, but today's fortune, the calculation of all kinds of silver coins under three hundred taels of gold is clear and indispensable.
"This bowl of cold water can also be sold for a penny? It costs 20 wen to cut a handful of forage in the mountains? It is also understandable that this noodle soup can be sold for five words. ”
Lao Dong looked at Cheng Yun with amusement and made a fuss, and Li Jiaotou quipped, "The demon beast you hunted today is enough to take down the traders on this section of the road, what's the matter, I will also contribute some money, and when the account is full of you and me, I will take less to give the talented Cheng Sword Immortal some face." ”
Cheng Yun lowered his head and calculated, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he looked back at the hidden wind excitedly.
Yin Feng was helpless, "There are still about thirty miles away from the imperial city, and all kinds of merchants are full of thirty, all of them are farmers from nearby villages, and they come to set up stalls on this official road to earn more money, and it is difficult for them to receive wages to sell goods, even if they can make a profit, it is probably less than twenty taels of silver a day, except for these, it is not right to take away their livelihood." ”
Cheng Yun understood, and concluded that his younger brother was right, and glanced at Li Jiaotou, "What Yinfeng said is what I just wanted to tell you, don't think about this kind of thing anymore, it's not good." ”
Li Jiaotou held back a smile, although he didn't like the sour scholar, but he looked up to the little junior brother of the sour scholar.
I thought that I would teach a rotten Confucian, Mu Ne is simple, but Yin Feng sees things comprehensively, and considers the daily livelihood of roadside farmers, and persuades his brother to start from his preferences, just hoping that the Sage Academy will be as its name suggests, and will not be infected with this hidden wind with a clear heart lake.
"Cheng Jian Immortal Gao Jian, my mountain mang's thinking is too shallow, and I have been taught!" Cheng Yun squinted and nodded.
Yin Feng was helpless, but he believed that his brother would never suffer a loss, so he sat down and looked at the scene on the side of the road, after all, it was the first time to go out of the village, even if he had read it in the book before, and the senior brother had talked about it, the first time he saw it was a novelty.
"Three bowls of wine and a plate of wild vegetables." The two officials sat down, one walked up to the old man, and handed over fifty wen, "This is the account that was added a few days ago, fifty wen, Uncle Li, you can point it." ”
The old man's face was flat, "Yesterday, my little grandson was almost arched by a wild boar, it was the three of you who blocked the wild boar and saved the restless little bastard, and you were dirty, and the wild boar only divided one leg, and let my old man collect your money is to scold me for not doing my duty." ”
The official who handed over the money couldn't shirk it, and took back the money, "We have a rule above, leading the Yulu, this job is what we should do, although we have contributed to the wild boar that we have played, we can't see it without your grandson, take a leg just right for our brother to three points, and my aunt's craftsmanship is good, no matter what, we take a big advantage." ”
The old man smiled, took out the stewed pork with three points of fat and served it with wild vegetables, "You don't shirk it anymore, in recent years, the imperial city has been changing your rules, I don't understand, but the son and daughter-in-law who work in the city say that the days are getting more and more promising, and the imperial city is slowly having the situation of thirty years ago that I said in my mouth, thirty years ago, I only knew that the monks who went down the mountain were not allowed to kill people at will, and if the village passing by was attacked by fierce beasts, they would be eager to help, at most they would have a meal, The heart is hotter, what method is left so that the young people in the village can practice without fear of the beast, the old man, I have this body and bones now, but thanks to that method. ”
"The monk who went down the mountain to refine the body martial arts has now entered the official mansion and led the imperial court, and in a few days, I should be able to enter the four realms of forging bones, and then you two will have to obediently shout for the captain."
The two who were sitting seemed to get up in a panic, bowed their heads and clenched their fists, "Congratulations to Captain Wang for Gao Jin, but only drinking this bowl of wine is not worthy of the identity of the captain." ”
The three of them played together, enjoying the coolness of the afternoon, and the old man looked at it happily, shaking his fan and squinting slightly, muttering about the world in his mouth.
As the ox cart traveled farther and farther, Yin Feng vaguely saw the official who was about to become the captain take something out of his arms and quietly leave without disturbing the old man who was already asleep.
Thinking of the way of the world every time the people who came back from the village, the senior brother looked at the muttering of the master's portrait and repeated the words of Butcher Zhang.
"Shiso's world has been really fucking good in the past two or three years."
After being stunned for a moment, Yin Feng smiled, and gradually looked forward to the Sage Academy he was going to enroll.
The ox cart staggered and slower, but it reached the gate of the city at dusk.
Pedestrians are divided into two rows on the right and are inspected by officials one by one, and motorcades enter through the slightly smaller side door to the right of the main entrance, which is also checked by officials.
The old village chief handed over the text, and the officials looked at the goods pulled up by each cart, and looked at everyone carefully, looked at the head of the white eagle that was obviously a demon beast, and bowed his hand respectfully to the head of Li Jiaotou who was carrying a gun.
Warned not to use weapons in the city, and in case of conflicts, please find the government patrol team to help as soon as possible, and then let the people of Baiwen Village enter the city.
Cheng Yun was in the car behind, just looking at the blue gray of the city wall, from time to time there was a flash of light, the city tower was magnificent, the towers were scattered and orderly, and the purple eyes were used curiously.
The city wall I saw was like a tower in the fog, and there was also a powerful spiritual power circulating in the tower, for fear of making these people unhappy, Cheng Yun no longer ran purple eyes, and honestly followed the team into the side door.
After walking through the corridor nearly 20 zhang long, a corner of the imperial city also appeared in front of everyone.
The people in Baiwen Village enter the west gate, and most of them are vendors and pawns, so there are mostly cheap but practical inns from the gate to the city.
The leader of Li Jiao led everyone to the family he frequented, set up the iron ox that pulled the cart, sent two people to take care of the goods, and prepared to rest and sell the goods in the village tomorrow morning.
But he couldn't stand Chengyun's anxiety about his goods, so he had to load two truckloads of goods sold to the Chamber of Commerce and a carload of Chengyun's prey to the Chamber of Commerce.
Lin Lao couldn't let go when he saw Cheng Yun pulling the hidden wind and rushing excitedly, so he planned to stop by to see the old man.
The street is wide, the road taken by the branch people and the road of cars and horses, it is not a problem to go back and forth on both sides, Cheng Yun sighed, no matter what, he plans to go back and let the village chief study hard.
Walking through the two streets, the inns are gradually decreasing, and the vendors who receive goods from all walks of life, and the stalls with the signboards of the Chamber of Commerce are neatly placed on both sides of the road, shouting and shouting constantly.
"Everyone, stay, everyone!" A black-faced man who was inconvenient to walk walked beside Lin Lao in a position, and his eyes fluttered at the demon beast material.
"You are from a village deep in the mountains, look at this cold feather eagle, it is still a demon beast! Everyone, what are you doing, plus the demon pill, four golds! This is the best price here, and those chambers of commerce in front of you can only charge three gold! ”
Lin Lao was silent, and Li Jiaotou hooked the shoulder of the black-faced man, "I came to Minshang at the beginning of last month to bring the demon pill and received seven gold, and today it will be three gold?" Fortunately, the old man reminded him early, otherwise this profiteer would have earned our hard-earned money! ”
The black-faced man wanted to break free but found that he couldn't do it, took out four gold from his arms, and smiled reluctantly, "Who said no, I think my predecessors are also temperamental, I lose half of the gold, and I want four gold!" ”
Li Jiaotou patted the man fiercely, "We are indeed temperamental, let's go!" Brother, you lead the way, let's go to the civil business and ask, how did the seven gold in the first month drop the four gold in less than half a month? Now it is Su Wen under the rule of the emperor, how can he do this thing of looting the people's fat? Let's talk about the law to buy the seven gold of the civil businessman, and then I will increase the brother's gold, all thanks to my brother's kind reminder! ”
The man's face turned from black to blue, and he suddenly slipped out of Li Jiao's head and arms, hooked his body and hugged his fists and smiled, "Don't dare, senior, it's good for you to go, the deal is not dealing, today is familiar, next time you must patronize the small one, the small one is absolutely cheap!" ”
Li Jiaotou hugged his fists and laughed, "It's easy to say!" ”
Cheng Yun took a look at it, and was about to turn his head to comment on the hidden wind.
"Sect Leader Li doesn't lose every time, even if ordinary people see through it, it is not easy to get out, but you have to have a good cultivation, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed."
Cheng Yun was about to say that he had learned how to bargain with others from three gold to four gold and could buy it, but when he heard his brother's words, he suddenly realized, nodded and praised his brother for being smart.
