Chapter 33: Baru

Hearing Balu ask why he came to the Lingshan tribe alone, Qin Wen, who was standing by the charcoal stove, said: "I and the caravan were separated on the way to the Luhoro tribe, and the caravan was carrying some ordinary goods, and I came this time to exchange some spiritual objects." ”

"Spiritual objects?" Balu, who was sitting on it, couldn't help but be slightly surprised, the Lingshan tribe where he belonged belonged to the northwestern part of the Luhoro tribe, and the border with the Hu tribe, the spiritual objects here were scarcer than other places, so few caravans came here to exchange spiritual objects.

However, those who can come to exchange spiritual objects are generally big merchants, Balu got up slightly and said, "Since Monk Qin is here to trade spiritual objects, then please sit down, let's talk while eating." ”

While speaking, the maid next to him moved a low table, put the cut haode corbel on top of the low table, and then poured milky white mare's milk wine, Qin Wen then remembered that he was still waiting outside for his guest, so he spoke: "Lord Balu, there is still a big brother Zha He who I just met in Xia outside the tent, and he is still waiting in Xia." ”

Balu bowed his head slightly and said to the maid: "You go out and tell Zahe that Brother Qin will eat in my tent today, and it will not be too late for him to invite him tomorrow." ”

The maid agreed, bowed down and walked out of the tent, Qin Wen sat cross-legged on the side of the low table, and looked at Balu carefully, originally he wanted to find out the spirit stone he needed before making plans, but since he met the leader of the tribe so smoothly, he decided to explain things clearly.

According to the rules of caravan trading, the leading merchant will give some small gifts to the leader first when he arrives at a tribe, and it is easier to deal with disputes between trades.

Qin Wen was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, so he took out a jade bottle from his storage silk bag, which contained five Xuan-level lower-grade pills, and handed them to the maid next to him and said: "The first time I saw Lord Balu, there are nothing good, there are five Xuan-level lower-grade pills in it, even if it is a gift from me to Lord Balu." ”

Balu couldn't help but be stunned, although he had also been in contact with a lot of merchants, but there were really not many people who took out the pills for the meeting gift, even if it was a large caravan, to take out so many pills as a meeting gift, it was generally the leader of the Lingshan tribe, and tribes like him did not have this kind of treatment.

The maid respectfully took the jade bottle to Balu at this time, Balu looked at it carefully, it was indeed five Xuan-level pills, and she was convinced that Qin Wen was a merchant who came to exchange spiritual objects, so she said with a smile: "Monk Qin, this gift is really too valuable, this time the monk came to our Lingshan tribe, I don't know what kind of spiritual objects are needed?"

At this time, Qin Wen took out a corner of the tray from the storage bag on the other side of him, and handed it to the maid and said, "This is a kind of spirit stone that I saw in Daqi, I heard that the merchants who came and went said that they had seen this kind of spirit stone in your tribe, and I came here this time to trade some such spirit stones." ”

Balu received a corner of the tray from the maid's hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a little surprise on his face: "It turned out to be a spirit eagle stone, although this kind of spirit stone is only produced by our tribe, but it is also relatively rare, I don't know where Monk Qin got it?"

When Qin Wen heard the three words of the Spirit Eagle Stone, he immediately thought of the words from the mouth of the girl in the cave, it seems that there are other monks in Daqi who are buying this kind of spirit stone, but they don't know what they want this spirit stone for, but if they want to gain Balu's trust, he thought about it and replied: "I got these spirit stones from a friend, and he said that they were spiritual objects given to him by the royal family of Daqi." ”

Balu also knew about the Lingying Stone paying tribute to the Daqi royal family, so he nodded and said: "So that's the case, but only the leader of the Lingshan tribe has the right to trade this Lingying Stone, and if the shepherds of our tribes encounter the Lingying Stone, they must hand it over in exchange for some other spiritual objects." ”

Seeing the slight disappointment on Qin Wen's face, Balu whispered again, "If Monk Qin doesn't want much, I can help other tribes make up some." ”

Qin Wen didn't know in his heart how many of these Spirit Eagle Stones he needed for this Qinglong Dan Furnace, so he shook his head and said, "Lord Balu can help me buy some first, but I may need more." Qin Wen hesitated for a moment, just thinking about whether to ask Balu to help introduce him to the leader of the Lingshan tribe.

At this time, I saw the door of the big tent opened, and a burly young man walked in, and the maid standing next to him hurriedly saluted, and the young man walked straight to Balu's case, bowed and said, "Father." ”

Balu looked at the young man below, and said with a smile on his face: "My little Batu is back, come, accompany Abba and Brother Qin for a few drinks." ”

Then Balu introduced to Qin Wen: "This is my youngest son Batu, who just broke through the lower level of the Xuan Body last year, and was the first little guy in our Lingshan tribe to break through the lower level of the Xuan Body before the age of eighteen. ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the name Batu, he immediately remembered the conversation between a pair of little lovers he heard in the cave, and recalled the voice of Batu just now, and his heart suddenly became happy, today is really a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet this young man named Batu here, but I don't know if I will see the girl named Qige.

At this time, Batu suddenly saw the Spirit Eagle Stone placed in front of Balu, and said with some doubts: "Abba, where did you get this Spirit Eagle Stone?"

Balu smiled and pointed at Qin Wen and said: "This is a Qin monk who came to our tribe from Daqi, this Spirit Eagle Stone was brought by him, and he came to our tribe to trade some Spirit Eagle Stones, you have to have a good exchange with Brother Qin these days." ”

When Batu heard that Qin Wen was here to trade the Spirit Eagle Stone, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he said with anger in his eyes: "You Qi people, you are clearly here to trade goods, but secretly you are doing shameless deeds, you are really no one in our Lingshan tribe." ”

Qin Wen was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the conversation between the two from the cave, he immediately understood that this Batu should regard himself as being in league with the Qi people who wanted to marry him, and now he couldn't defend himself, so he had to smile bitterly.

Balu didn't expect Batu to suddenly turn his face at this time, so he said with a sinking face: "Batu, how can you talk to the distinguished guests, there are no rules at all, retreat." ”

Batu knelt down in front of Balu at this time and said, "Father, the child wants to ask his father for one thing. ”

Balu's face was still sinking and he said, "What's the matter?"

Batu glanced at Qin Wen and said, "Father, the child is an adult, and I want my father to propose to the child." ”

Balu didn't expect Batu to mention this matter at this joint, and his face eased slightly: "Today is the time for Abba and Brother Qin to talk about the transaction, which girl do you fall in love with, and tomorrow Abba will prepare gifts for your grandma to hire." ”

Batu hesitated for a moment and said: "It's Uncle Ebihu's Qige, the child and her have met several times, and she said today that Uncle Ebihu wants to marry her to the Qi people who came to trade the Spirit Eagle Stone." ”

At this time, Qin Wen heard that Batu had already told the truth of the matter, so he interjected and explained: "Lord Balu, although I came here this time to trade the Spirit Eagle Stone, I have no companions, and as for the other Qi people who traded the Spirit Eagle Stone that Batu said, I am not in the same group as them. ”

Balu also knew that if Qin Wen had a companion who had already traded the Spirit Eagle Stone with Ebihu, he would not find himself here, so he smiled and said to Qin Wen: "I naturally believe in Brother Qin's words, it is Xiao'er who is too reckless, Batu, I will talk about your affairs tomorrow, give Brother Qin Daoqian first." ”

Batu looked at his father with a serious face, and had to hesitate to say to Qin Wen, "Brother Qin, I'm sorry. ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly: "It's okay, these are just misunderstandings, everyone will be fine if they say it." ”

At this time, the maid moved a low table and placed it opposite Qin Wen, and the wine and food were also placed on the low table, Batu turned around sullenly and sat behind the low table, Balu waved his hand at this time to let the maids out of the tent, and then picked up the wine bowl and said: "Brother Qin came to the tribe today, there is nothing to entertain, make three bowls first." After speaking, he drank it all first.

Qin Wen also picked up the wine bowl, and drank three bowls of mare's milk wine with Ba Lu's company, and Ba Lu only then spoke: "The matter we talked about just now was disturbed by Xiao'er, Brother Qin don't mind, I don't know how many Spirit Eagle Stones Brother Qin wants to trade this time?"

Qin Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "The more this Spirit Eagle Stone, the better, but I don't know how much Lord Balu can take?"

Balu rubbed the hard stubble on his chin and said: "This spirit eagle stone is said to be the spirit eagle when it turns into a spirit in our tribe, and it fails to break through the spirit of sitting and forming a spiritual object, the more spirit eagles are sitting on a stone, the better the material of this spirit eagle stone, so it is not easy to get even in our tribe." ”

"The Ebihu that Xiao'er said just now is the current leader of our Lingshan tribe, and the Lingying Stone has always been collected by him, if I could still help you introduce it some time ago, now it's hey. At this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Qin Wen heard that he could call the tribal leader by name, and he also knew that Balu's status in the Lingshan tribe was not low, so he asked with some curiosity: "Lord Balu, what is so difficult?"

Balu shook his head and said, "These are just things within the tribe, since Monk Qin has come to my Balu's tent, even if it is my Balu's friend, I'll see if there is any way to help you trade some Spirit Eagle Stones in the next few days." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "Then thank you Lord Balu, I don't know how to calculate the price of this Spirit Eagle Stone now?"

Balu thought for a while and said: "Normally, a spirit stone that a spirit eagle sits on is called a first-order spirit stone, and the price traded in the tribe is five low-grade spirit stones, while the second-order spirit stone requires five medium-grade spirit stones, the higher the rank, the more the price of the spirit stone required." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the corner of the tray that Qin Wen had brought and said, "This is a fourth-order spirit stone, if this spirit stone reaches about ten catties, it will need five hundred high-grade spirit stones to trade." ”
