Chapter 159: Brocade City
"Xiaorui, the big demon in the Zodiac series, I only killed three, why did their patterns suddenly appear here?" Zhang Xuan asked.
Hongrui responded: "That's right, the twelve kinds of demons, you have only destroyed three at present, so what it presents now is the three demon diagrams." From now on, every time you destroy a zodiac demon, its pattern will be presented in the pattern one after another, which is conceivable. As for why they suddenly appeared in the sky, it may have something to do with the fact that you killed the Dark Clouds. ”
Zhang Xuan was very smart, and he was able to understand it at one point, and after listening to Hongrui's words, he immediately understood what she meant, and said, "Ah, yes, those evil qi should be the things that gave birth to this pattern." Without the aura provided by the clouds, such a pattern would not have been born. ”
"So, do you know the significance of the appearance of the Twelve Lives Demon Diagram?" Hongrui asked with a smile.
Zhang Xuan shook his head and did not answer.
"Its significance lies in the fact that when the twelve demons are on the pattern, this pattern becomes a demon subduing weapon, and when you encounter a big demon, you just have to cover this pattern on it, and those big demons will become your captive. That way, your demon slaying will be much easier. Hongrui Yiyi said.
Ah, that's great!
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he forcibly held back his smile, so as not to lose his temper in front of the big demons.
The big demons lost no time in flattering and simply blew Zhang Xuan into the sky.
In the face of such flattery, he couldn't be serious no matter how serious he wanted, so he had to abandon his reserve and laugh uncontrollably.
It's no wonder that one harvest produces another kind of collateral harvest, and he doesn't laugh.
Early the next morning, after a hurried breakfast, he set off for the imperial city.
This time, nothing happened on the road.
There were still a few days left before the time agreed with Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, and he planned to wait for them at the Xiema Post in the east of the city.
After reporting the name and surname of the postman and explaining the reason, Zhang Xuan was full of hope that the postman would receive him warmly, but he did not admit it but encountered a cold face.
"This post station is a transit place for the imperial court and local officials, and Zunjia is neither an official of the imperial court nor a local official, but he wants to rest here, so we can't receive it."
The postman said triumphantly.
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he was a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, what the post official said was not bad. People have the rules of their own families, he has no license and no license, and people really can't make an exception to receive them.
So, he turned to the postman and said, "In that case, then I won't be in trouble." If there's anything interesting nearby, I'd better go there. ”
The postman blinked his eyes and pondered, and said, "It is said that the interesting places are all within the imperial city, and what is there any fun in this wilderness?" Ah, by the way, ten miles south from here is the brocade market, which is where the gorgeous brocade clothes are made, you may be interested. ”
What, the city of Jin?
As the name suggests, it was indeed a place where the rich and noble families were made of silk brocade.
Zhang Xuan was born in the countryside, and his family and neighbors wore coarse cloth clothes, and he had never worn a Chinese brocade dress, let alone seen the scene of making a fancy brocade robe, so he wanted to go and see it, and by the way, he bought one or two good clothes for his mother and sister.
He strode south, oblivious to the stunned look in the postman's eyes.
The two postmen almost stared out when they saw him walking so fast.
"Brother, is this kid specially practicing walking, how can he walk faster than a jogging horse?" One of the postmen said.
"Brother, you are an outsider, how can there be such a thing as a special practice of walking in the world?" Another post official responded, "If you want me to say, it is very likely that he has specialized in light martial arts, and he walks on the wall as if he were walking on the ground." We have to be on guard against such a person, maybe it is the leader of the thief. ”
"Huh? In this way, it is very likely that he has come to our rest of the horse, and we have to be on guard. ”
"Don't worry, brother, he just steals from whom, and he doesn't dare to steal the official's family, borrow his two guts, hum!"
After they discussed for a while, Zhang Xuan was gone.
The road to the city was extremely smooth, and Zhang Xuan arrived quickly.
The so-called brocade market is actually a north-south street, and the street is flanked by shops selling silk and satin. According to the guys in the store, the business here is all in front of the shop and in the back of the factory, and behind the door is the weaving and dyeing of cloth and the tailoring of clothes.
After coming to Zhijin City, Zhang Xuan did not rush to visit those stores, but walked along the street, and found that this street was about seven or eight miles long, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said secretly: Oh, such a long street is full of these things, it's really amazing! It seems that the customers here are not ordinary people, either rich or official, and ordinary people rarely come here to tear cloth and make clothes.
As he thought so, he paid special attention to the people who came and went, and found that they were indeed well-dressed and extraordinary, and a country boy like him, dressed in coarse cloth, looked particularly eye-catching, and even he himself felt out of place with the atmosphere here.
However, he did not feel inferior.
Although he dressed up to be inferior to those people, he was the only one who could do his actions of subduing demons and subduing demons, so deep down, he didn't look down on those well-dressed people who couldn't do much.
With that in mind, he didn't pay any attention to the strange stares cast by those people.
After wandering through the street for a while, he entered a silk shop, and looked at the red, green, and green silk cloth, and his eyes seemed to be a little inadequate.
Xiao Er saw that he was dressed shabby, but he just stared at him from a distance, and did not take the initiative to solicit business.
Zhang Xuan looked left and right for a while, walked back and forth along the counter several times, and stretched out his hand to greet Xiao Er: "Hey, buddy, come and talk!" ”
Seeing Zhang Xuan greeting him, Xiao Er frowned and slowly walked over, and said, "Guest officer, we are a silk cloth shop, if you want to come and open your eyes, then just look at it, why do you ask me to come over?" ”
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he immediately became angry and scolded: "What, you can only see the things here, can't you buy them?" ”
"How can it be!" Xiao Er responded with a cold face, "Our store is open on the street, how can there be any reason why you can't buy it?" It's just that our buyers are rich customers, not just to feast their eyes on like you! ”
"You guy, you talk so frustratedly, and you like to watch people put down dishes and look down on Lao Tzu, isn't your skin itchy?" Zhang Xuan said coldly, "Where did you see that Lao Tzu has no money?" ”
"Hmph, if you have money or not, just by virtue of your rough dress, Lao Tzu will know that you have no money!" Xiao Er said with disdain, "It's nothing if you don't have money, if you dare to go wild here without money, you don't know what to do, and if you don't make it, you will lose your life!" ”
After that, he turned his head and yelled at the back.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight flower-armed men rushed in from the back of the cloth shop, staring at Zhang Xuan one by one.
Zhang Xuan pointed at those big men and said with a smile: "Oh, you damn guys, you are here to be careful, this little er who doesn't know whether to live or die just said that if you don't get it right, you will lose your life, you will immediately send your life, and you will be obedient!" ”
Seeing Zhang Xuan pointing at them and laughing, the flower-armed man was so angry that he jumped out of the counter, brandishing the stick in his hand and smashing it headlessly.
Zhang Xuan stood still in place, just stretched out his finger and painted, and the flower-armed man changed the direction of his attack, and the sticks in his hand smashed towards the shopkeeper who was looking at Zhang Xuan and gloating.
Xiao Er didn't expect the person he had recruited to attack him, and shouted in a panic while dodging: "Hey, damn it, you should hit that kid, don't hit me!" ”
