In the World Chapter 44 Guangyuan Street

The next day, the hunter team bid farewell to Dugu Zhishui and went back to the city with Liu Qiang on their backs. At this time, Liu Qiang's face was already much better, although he was not awake yet, the blue and black on his face had basically faded.

Dugu Zhishui stayed in the mountains for a few more days, caught some demon beasts, and rode back to the city on the two horses he had captured. Guangyuan Street, located in the south of Anping City, is a famous commercial market in the city, where all kinds of shops are lined up and there is an endless flow of people. However, compared with the market that Dugu Zhishui often goes, there are many fewer people on Guangyuan Street, and the shops here are all tall, luxurious or simple and atmospheric, and it is impossible to gain a foothold in Guangyuan Street without some strength.

It's not just that the high rents in this place discourage many people, but more importantly, if you want to open a store here, you must first have enough power to support it. Because the main service objects of Guangyuan Street are martial arts cultivators, and these people are many unruly people, if they don't have enough strength, those arrogant and domineering monks can tear down a shop with a cup of tea. It is precisely because of the above reasons that there are fewer people on this Guangyuan Street than in the ordinary commercial market, and here, the streets are basically wandering monks.

Dugu Zhishui inquired about many people to find this street, this Guangyuan Street runs north-south, except for the two ends of the street, there is no fork in the middle to enter. In this huge Anping City, this street is the only closed street, which is located on the east side of the southern central street from the south gate of Anping City to Qingming Square, dividing the southern part of Anping City into two parts.

On the east side of the southern section of Guangyuan Street, there is a storefront that looks slightly smaller than the surrounding shops, and there are a lot of animal skins hanging outside the shops.

As soon as I entered the store, I immediately smelled a faint smell of blood, and although it had been smoked with incense, it was still difficult to completely hide the smell. There were not many people in the shop, but behind the counter was a man in his fifties with pale temples who was concentrating on his calculations, and outside the counter two men were lying on a round table and drowsy. The furnishings and decorations of the shop are very simple, and there are many arrowheads hanging on the walls around the store, which are filled with black feather arrows.

When Dugu Zhishui came in, the shopkeeper and the guy didn't react, until he knocked on the counter, and the shopkeeper looked up at him.

"What do you want to sell?" asked the shopkeeper.

"I caught some monsters, and I'm on the horse outside, you can see how much money you can give me. Dugu Zhishui pointed to the horse tied to the door.

The shopkeeper picked up a stone from the counter and hit it on the round table where the man was lying on his stomach, and the two men woke up like from a dream, stood up blankly and stretched. It seemed that he had just noticed that there were customers in the store, and the guy hurriedly put on a smiling face to greet him. Dugu Zhishui pointed outside, and a guy went outside to pick up the goods, but he went out for a while and didn't come back, just when Dugu Zhishui was confused, the guy's voice came in.

"Ah San, ...... Hurry up, big business!"

When the other guy heard this, he glanced at Dugu Zhishui in surprise and went outside. The shopkeeper also seemed to be attracted attention, and his eyes were fixed on the door to see what it was.

The two guys hurriedly ran in with a bunch of dead demon beast corpses in both hands, and the shopkeeper looked at it, and his eyes lit up suddenly.

"These are all demon beasts that are not weak, adult golden-scaled pythons, ghost cats, I'm afraid their strength is above that of ordinary martial artists. Killing so many demon beasts of this level at once, young man, you are really talented!. The shopkeeper suddenly had a smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "I will count one hundred taels of gold for you for the golden scale python and the ghost cat, there are six in total here, and the other four are relatively ordinary, give you ten taels of gold, a total of six hundred and forty taels, what do you think?"

"Multi-...... How much?" Dugu Zhishui's mouth is open, he has worked in the Yue family for three years and only got less than a hundred taels of silver! In the Great Xia Dynasty, a hundred taels of silver can be exchanged for one or two gold, but I didn't expect that going out of the city and killing a few demon beasts casually could be exchanged for hundreds of taels of gold, I knew that this was the case, how much gold he could earn this time!

The shopkeeper was surprised when he saw Dugu Zhishui, and thought that he was too little money, so he hurriedly added: "Young man, if you want to be too little, I can get seven hundred taels of gold, what do you think? ”

Dugu Zhishui hurriedly waved his hand, "It's a lot, it's a lot, seven hundred taels is seven hundred taels." ”

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly instructed the man to take the demon beast to the back hall, and he took out seven golden tickets of one hundred taels from the small box in the counter and handed them to Dugu Zhishui, Dugu Zhishui took the golden ticket, and his face was full of joy.

"By the way, I heard that if you register as a hunter here, you can get a lot of material support from you, what do you think of me?" Dugu Zhishui circled.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up suddenly, "Yes, of course you can!" The shopkeeper diligently took out a jet-black wooden plaque with a feather arrow engraved on it.

"This is our guild's identity card, and with this wooden card, you can come to us to enjoy some services. For example, weapons, pills, exercises, etc., but these services cost money. ”

"Oh, but I don't think you have anything in the store? I don't think there's any weapon to choose from. "After Dugu Zhishui killed the two servants of the Yue family, he didn't take their weapons, and the weapons of the Yue family were marked, and it was easy to get into trouble when they took them out.

"Don't worry, young man, come with me. ”

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously, he asked the guy to look at the store, and he took Dugu Zhishui into the back hall from the back door of the front hall of the store, and the demon beasts that Dugu Zhishui had just sold were in the back hall, and there were a few guys he hadn't seen who were dealing with those demon beasts. There is also a door behind the back hall, and through the back hall, it turns out to be a courtyard, and there are several corridors in the courtyard leading to the southeast, south, and south directions, and these three corridors are connected to another courtyard.

The shopkeeper took Dugu Zhishui all the way into the east courtyard, there were two big men in animal skins guarding the courtyard gate, there were three rooms in the courtyard, and there were two other people at the door of each room, adding up to eight people guarding this small courtyard. And judging from the occasional aura of those people, all of these people were monks, and there were two martial artists among them.

There was a treasurer taking the lead, and the guards in the courtyard did not stop them. The shopkeeper ordered the person to open the room on the north side, and Dugu Zhishui followed in, and found that the room was full of hidden military racks, swords, guns, swords, halberds, daggers, clubs, and all kinds of common weapons. This room is very large, there are dozens of hidden soldiers, Dugu Zhishui roughly estimated, there are at least thousands of weapons in it.

"Boy, take a turn and see if you like anything. ”

"I don't need a very high-end weapon, get me a normal sword. Dugu Zhishui looked at the room full of weapons and looked confused.

"Okay, the sword is here, you pick one yourself. The shopkeeper led Dugu Zhishui to a corner, where the hidden shelves were full of swords.

Dugu Zhishui picked up a sword from the shelf, looked at it, shook his head, and put it back to pick up another one. It wasn't until he saw that there were almost hundreds of them that he picked up a sword with a black body and looked at it carefully. He checked it, this sword weighed much heavier than an iron sword, it should be made of tungsten steel, he glanced at the rest of the sword, and didn't bother to pick it again.

"That's it, how much?"

"Young man has good eyesight, this sword is made of tungsten steel, a hundred taels of gold, no two prices. ”

"How much?" Dugu Zhishui looked confused, and then stared at the shopkeeper with an unkind expression, "You're too expensive, aren't you?"

"Hey...... Ay...... Little brother, don't wronged me, this tungsten steel is not broken copper and iron, it is relatively expensive, and this sword is made by the famous Qibing Workshop in Anping City, and a hundred taels of gold really can't be less. If you think it's expensive, you don't want it, and we didn't force you to buy it. ”

Dugu Zhishui struggled in his heart, and his heart was horizontal, "It's coming!"

......

"The guest officer walks slowly......" The shopkeeper respectfully sent Dugu Zhishui out of the store.

Accustomed to the life of ordinary people, it is difficult for him to adapt to this way of making money and spending money for a while. In the past, he lived very well with Yuetong in Yue's house, and it didn't cost much to help Yuetong buy some messy things on weekdays, but it was far worse than now. In the past, money was spent according to silver taels, but now it has to be calculated according to how much gold is spent.

Dugu Zhishui continued to walk north along Guangyuan Street, and saw a restaurant called Yuyulou from a distance, and the flow of people in and out looked very lively. Thinking that he used to help Yuetong buy some messy food all day long, but he really hadn't eaten much of those things, so he decided to have a good meal.

When he came to the Yuyu Building, Dugu Zhishui was really surprised by the scale of this restaurant. There are five floors in this jade building, and there is a plaque hanging under the window on the second floor, on which the words are written on the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, but it is slightly graceful, which echoes the pattern of this restaurant. Walking into the first floor of the Yuyu Building, the aroma of wine and coriander came to the nose, and the first floor was already overcrowded and slightly crowded at this time.

Dugu Zhishui looked at this place curiously, and the shopkeeper greeted him attentively.

"Guest officer, there is no place on the first floor, please follow me up to the second floor. ”

The shopkeeper led Dugu Zhishui to sit down in a corner on the second floor, and asked respectfully, "Guest officer, what do you order?"

"What's delicious, right?" Dugu Zhishui said in his heart: "Six hundred taels of gold should be able to pay the bill......

"Okay!" the shopkeeper answered, retreated, and came up with a pot of tea after a while, "Guest, you drink some tea first." ”

Dugu Zhishui drank tea while waiting for the food to be served in a hurry, and after about half a burnt of incense, the shopkeeper began to serve the food. In a short time, the table was full of dishes.

"Slow use of guest officers!"

Dugu stopped eating it, he first tasted a piece of steamed carp, which melted in his mouth, and then dipped it in a little sauce, which almost melted his stomach. Mouthful after bite, Dugu Zhishui never thought that he could eat so much, a table of dishes, and after half an hour, he ate alone.

After a full burp, Dugu Zhishui felt very enjoyable. In the past few years, he has been going to eat in the canteen at Yue's house, although Yuetong often asks him to eat some good ones, but most of the time he refuses.

After drinking tea again, Dugu Zhishui called the shopkeeper.

"Check out. ”

"Oh, good guest officer, it's five hundred and eighty-eight taels of gold. ”

Dugu Zhishui just wanted to stand up, but he was startled by the words of the shopkeeper and fell back on the stool.

"What am I eating? So expensive? You're too dark, aren't you?"

"Guest, our store is a century-old store, the price is fair, don't wronged us. Just now you said that you want to bring all the delicious food, our store's best thing is to cook monsters, you have eaten a silver moon wolf's hind legs and a red magic rabbit. The shopkeeper bowed and said unhurriedly, looking at this aura, it was different from the shopkeeper in an ordinary tavern.

"Oops......" Dugu Zhishui covered his face, wailed a few times, and could only reluctantly take out six golden tickets and hand them to the shopkeeper slowly. The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Dugu stopped holding the water to death, and the shopkeeper couldn't move, and he didn't dare to make too much effort, for fear of tearing up the golden ticket.

"Guest officer, that, you're holding ...... tightly," the shopkeeper smiled wryly.

Dugu Zhishui's eyes didn't mention how resentful he was, the corners of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, and his heart was horizontal.

"Guest officer, be careful!" The shopkeeper pointed behind Dugu Zhishui, Dugu Zhishui subconsciously turned his head, and suddenly felt that his hand was loosened, and it turned out that the golden ticket had been taken away by the shopkeeper.

"Wait a minute, officer, I'll find you money!" The shopkeeper ran downstairs quickly, completely ignoring Dugu Zhishui and gritting his teeth behind his back.
