When Zhou Lin and Kunzi passed by the village and went to spend the night, they saw the shoulders on Kunzi's body, and the women knew that someone was protecting the food, so they really didn't bother, but no one took them home. Passing by two alien villages, they were even more unheeded. Zhou Lin and Kunzi went directly to the village chief's house to spend the night, and slept a few good nights.

A few days later, the two arrived in a large town. The green parapet outside the town is five meters high, stretching to both sides with no end in sight. A door was opened on the greenery, and the door opened simply and roughly, as if someone had slashed twice at the parapet with a knife, and then threw away the middle parapet, and installed a wooden door in the gap. It's just a visual experience, parapets and doors are naturally growing. This is the town of Shiyan.

The town of Shiyan is famous for its abundance of stone salt, and the people of Wufu have a great demand for salt, and they believe that eating salt will lead to greater strength. The fruits and vegetables eaten on weekdays will be sprinkled with some salt, and sometimes they will be directly mixed into salt water to drink.

There is no shortage of elements in the Nine Hills, but these elements are evenly scattered under the surface as if they had been beaten into fine pieces, and the easiest way to collect them is to ask the Dryad to collect them for you, you just need to plant them. Stone salt is a rare resource in Jiuqiu that can form ore veins, and there are hundreds of stone salt wells scattered here, large and small, and all the salt merchants of Wufu gather here. Although the soul can also produce salt, the soul seed needs two silver seeds and ten energy points, one of the two seeds is used to plant the soul, and one is used as a reward to pay the soul planter, and the harvest is only half a catty of salt. In Shiyan Town, you can exchange a seed for a pound of salt. As a result, the inhabitants of Takeo preferred to travel long distances to Stone Salt Town in exchange for table salt.

Outside the town, Zhou Lin asked the two mounts to find food nearby on their own, and he and Kunzi entered Shiyan Town.

Walking into Shiyan Town, there is also a stone parapet wall with its height in the green plant parapet, with a thickness of five meters, and there is a ladder on the inside of the wall to go up. The stone walls are in a new condition, and there is no trace of the polishing of the years. It was only in the last three years that the disappearances began, and when the disappearances became more frequent, the wealthy salt merchants began to worry about their personal and property safety, and under the coordination of the Salt Chamber of Commerce, hundreds of salt merchants jointly financed the construction of this impregnable stone parapet. There is no shortage of labor, strong men and strong women abound, and they can only do some things that both men and women love to do at home on weekdays, and when there are seeds to earn, all the Hulala people flock to Shiyan Town.

Shiyan Town has an area of more than 10 square kilometers, but the resident population is not much, and there are more than 1,000 salt merchants and helpers. If that's all, Stone Salt Town would only be called a Stone Salt Mine. The reason why Shiyan Town can be called a town is because it is the gathering place of Lady Wu. Scattered throughout the town are dozens of inns, eight teahouses, five green houses, and two juggling troupes for the lodging and pastime of travelers who come to exchange salt for martial artists.

The houses in the town are scattered around the stone salt wells, which is very messy, so it is impossible to build a decent street, and the road is full of twists and turns, and it is easy for people who come to Shiyan Town for the first time to get lost. Fortunately, Shiyan Town is also a rare town with a commercial atmosphere in Jiuqiu, and road intersections are signposted.

Zhou Lin took Kunzi to turn left and right, and suddenly saw a three-story building in front of him, and there were many people coming in and out. When you get closer, the plaque reads "Spring Full Building", and a string of red lanterns hangs on each side of the door. Zhou Lin let out a "huh", raised his feet and was about to go inside. Grabbed by Kunzi, Kunzi asked why did you come to the brothel? Zhou Lin asked rhetorically, do you know this is a brothel? Kunzi said that he had Aqing, and he would not go in. Zhou Lin said that you have been emptied by Aqing, and you will be blind if you go. Kunzi didn't speak, Zhou Lin said don't think about it, so he went in to inquire about some news. Kunzi muttered that the brothel could inquire about anything. Zhou Lin didn't speak, turned around and walked into Chunmanlou, Kunzi hesitated for a moment, but still followed behind Zhou Lin.

The interior decoration of Chunmanlou is a typical Chinese modern style, the furniture, grilles, and screens are quite ancient Chinese style, and the soft decoration on the ceiling and wall has borrowed many modern elements, and the owner of this building has obviously put some effort into it. The hall on the first floor is a thousand square meters, but there is not a single pillar, the ceiling is vaulted, and dozens of ceiling palace lamps illuminate the hall brightly. In the center of the hall to the right is a bar counter, the left side of the bar is full of tables and chairs, and some booths are separated by carved partitions by the window. There were already many guests drinking in the hall, both men and women, talking very loudly, and the environment was a little noisy. The right side of the bar seems to be very empty, twenty meters away from the bar is a transparent curtain wall, in the curtain wall, more than a dozen men and women stand against the wall in a regular manner, most of them can save clothes, and a few are only an inch. Men are fat, but women are very slim, and their appearance is also middle-class. In addition, there are three interracial races. There was a girl who gave Zhou Lin a more look, this girl was wearing a fruity green long skirt that extended to her ankles, and she kept her head down, looking quite conservative and alternative in the crowd. Next to the curtain wall, there is a shop, with a book on the Yunfeng Pavilion, and a beaded curtain hanging at the door.

Zhou Lin took Kunzi to the bar, sat on the bar chair, and knocked on the bar, "Two glasses of fruit wine." ”

The waiter sent two glasses of wine very quickly, and said, "Two of them are of one stripe of silver, and they are not credited." "The cups are of a very large type, like a big bamboo tube with a handle. There were no goblets in the bar, and Mrs. Wu was not used to that.

Zhou Lin threw over the two seeds and asked, "Are you a buddy or a boss?"

The waiter turned around and shouted, "Boss, someone is looking for you", and stopped paying attention to Zhou Lin. A person at the bar in the distance began to walk this way, and when he waited, Zhou Lin observed the shelves behind the bar and found that there was not only wine, but also all kinds of salt bagged by weight, as well as daily necessities such as round mirrors, wooden combs, hairpins, and belts.

The man approached, it was a young man with glasses, only slightly taller than Zhou Lin, and in front of the tall waiter, he was like a chicken. He was dressed in the same way as the waiter, with a white shirt and a suit vest.

The man with glasses stretched out his hand and shook it with the two of them, and said, "I'm the boss here, Song Xiaoyun." You don't have to tell me your name, I'm just a businessman and don't want to know too much about your guests. If there's anything I need to do, just ask. ”

Zhou Lin secretly thought that this was indeed a shrewd person, who did not know cause and effect, and did not cause trouble. Especially when Song Xiaoyun speaks, everyone will feel that he is looking at him, obviously a veteran who has worked hard in the mall for many years. Kunzi was a little uncomfortable, he said, "I'm just here to make soy sauce, don't worry about me." Song Xiaoyun threw an apologetic smile at Kunzi, and really stopped paying attention to Kunzi and talked to Zhou Lin. Zhou Lin didn't care about Kunzi, after a period of running-in, he had figured out Kunzi's temperament, and his and Mingshu's guesses were all wrong, this kid just wouldn't deal with strangers, once he got acquainted, he would talk more.

While talking, Song Xiaoyun touched a cup from under the bar and wiped it with a white towel, looking very casual, as if he was chatting with an old friend for many years.

Song Xiaoyun also ran a small bar in his hometown, and his business was not bad. He came from his hometown in '98 and has lived here for more than 40 years. His crossing is dramatic, he sits on the toilet and flushes the water, but is sucked into the toilet bowl and arrives bare-chested. Because he is not a soul master, Song Xiaoyun's life has not been satisfactory, until a few gold seeds were harvested a few years ago, and he came to work from time to time, and he started this building last year.

"No wonder when I came to Shiyan the year before last, there was no spring full building. It costs a lot to grow this building, right?" Zhou Lin asked.

"A three-striped gold seed accumulates three years of energy points, plus two one-striped gold seeds as a reward. Song Xiaoyun said.

Zhou Lin gasped, this reward was too expensive. Zhou Lin asked, shouldn't it be Mr. Five? Song Xiaoyun said that if it was Mr. Five, it would not be such a high price, but Mr. Five has not seen anyone in the past two years. Zhou Lin nodded, he knew that Mr. Five had not shown up for two years, and he was here for this matter, and he asked this on purpose.

However, the current Soul Planter fees are indeed a bit ridiculously high. Song Xiaoyun said that fortunately, business has been good since the building was opened, and by the beginning of this year, it had returned to its original cost. At the beginning of the year, a small salt well was auctioned at the auction of a small salt well, and the salt on the shelves was homegrown.
