Chapter 32: The Town
Lin Qingyan promised to let the reward sent by "Senior Sister Lan" arrive soon, a total of two "Powerful Pills", all of which were packed in red sandalwood boxes.
Although the number is not much, considering that a strong pill is Lin Qingyan's Fenglu for a month, plus the one given before, a total of three "strong pills", and Yang Ji himself has also received a lot of benefits in the process of enlightenment, just to help Shenwu improve the power of swordsmanship, this reward is already very good!
Yang Ji swallowed one of them to consolidate the realm, and the other one was put away, keeping it for future needs.
......
"Those who are good at fighting will not be martial, and those who are good at fighting will not be angry; those who are good at defeating the enemy will not be with them, and those who are good at using others will be subordinate." β
There was a rustling sound in the room, and Yang Ji wrote two vigorous and majestic characters on the white paper, and then nodded with satisfaction.
These two sentences are from the scriptures given to him by the historian, and they are two sentences left by the ancient literary saints. Yang Ji has a feeling in the past few days, so he wrote down two sentences.
Although the literal meaning is not difficult to understand, Yang Ji always feels that these two sentences seem to have other meanings.
"Those who are good at fighting have no great reputation, and the supernatural powers of the ancient Wensheng are actually not worse than those of the warriors, but they have rarely heard of the Wensheng doing it. The name of the indisputable and unmartial Wensheng has been handed down, but those super strong people who are comparable to the Wensheng have been wiped out one by one, which may be their superiority. β
Yang Ji put away the pen, raised his head, and said secretly in his heart.
Reading and writing...... , Yang Ji has basically come over like this in the past few days. or is calm when reading and practicing calligraphy, coupled with the role of the fragments of "Wensheng pen and ink", Yang Ji has indeed recovered a lot during this time.
Picked up the pen and ink on the table, dried it, and Yang Ji pushed it aside.
"Yang Ji, Yang Ji ......"
Suddenly. A loud laugh of excitement came from outside the door, the footsteps got closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, the room was pushed open with a thud, and a figure immediately broke in.
Duan Gang's face was flushed, and he smiled happily.
"Duan Gang?"
Yang Ji turned around. Surprised. At this time, shouldn't Duan Gang be practicing outside? How could he come to himself at this time.
"Duan Gang, what's wrong?
Yang Ji raised his head and frowned. For Duan Gang's behavior of breaking in without knocking on the door, he has long been accustomed to it, and Duan Gang's character is like this.
"Ha Luha, Yang Ji, do you remember the town we saw at the bottom of the mountain? Su Hong said that he wanted to go there, and I heard that there were a lot of good things there. Yang Ji. Would you like to come with us to have a look?"
Duan Gang said excitedly.
In addition to cultivation, what Duan Gang was most interested in was those strange things in the sect world.
"A small town?"
Yang Ji thought for a moment and thought about it. That town was not far, six or seven miles away from Iron Crown Mountain. It's just that I'm busy in the pie, so I've never been there.
"Okay. Call me then. β
Yang Ji nodded.
After this series of things was completed, he had already established himself in the Iron Crown Sect. And it was really a little tiring to help Lin Qingyan for more than a month, so I just went down the mountain to have a look. Scatter your mind.
"Ha Luha, okay. I'll sue Su Hong. β
Duan Gang said.
"That's right. When will it leave?"
Yang Ji asked.
"It's these two days!"
......
Two days passed in a flash.
Soon it was the appointed day, early in the morning, Yang Ji and Duan Gang were waiting early outside the palace where they lived. To be honest, Yang Ji also had some small expectations for this small town near the sect.
"Coming, coming......"
Duan Gang looked ahead and shouted again and again. I saw Su Hong wearing a red jacket. On his feet, he has a pair of pointy deerskin boots, and his little hands swing when he walks, and he jumps when he walks under his feet.
"Duan Gang, Yang Ji, you are here. β
Su Hong's face was flushed. There was a faint look in his eyes.
Duan Gang just sighed and admired, feeling that today's Su Hong was different. Yang Ji laughed.
"Su Hong, it is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, look at your appearance, did anything good happen today?"
Yang Ji said with a smile.
Su Hong's steps were brisk, and she was full of spirit. Even fools can see that she is in a good mood today.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! It's not that something good happened today, it's that something good happens every day these days. And there will be good things in the future. β
Su Hong shook a green finger and said with a grin.
"Oh?"
Yang Ji and Duan Gang glanced at each other, secretly surprised. Su Hong's words are mysterious.
"Hey, if I don't say it, you won't even be able to guess it. During this time, the senior sister seems to have greatly increased her skills, and several of the senior sister's rivals in the past have lost to the senior sister. When I met that Luo Yunzi today, I saw the senior sister bowing her head and leaving, and she didn't dare to stop her footsteps. Thinking about how arrogant she used to be, it's really relieving, hahaha......"
Su Hongha smiled, and even his eyes were crooked.
"That's amazing!"
Duan Gang didn't think about it so much, and exclaimed.
"Yes, I don't know why Senior Sister Lu Dao suddenly became so powerful? Those former opponents, when they were stronger than Senior Sister, were invincible one by one, and now they have all been beaten down. It's really relieving. I heard that Luo Yunzi met Senior Sister in the woods a few days ago, and was slashed by her hand......!
Su Hong's eyes narrowed with laughter.
Yang Ji glanced at Su Hong thoughtfully. He had been recuperating in his room for the past few days, but he didn't know that these things had happened in the road.
The "Senior Sister" and the "Disciples" who followed her were both prosperous and lost. So Su Hong's mood is understandable.
"Anyway, it's worth it that new set of electric mother swordsmanship can play such an effect. β
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.
Su Hong obviously didn't know that Lin Qingyan's new swordsmanship was helped by Yang Ji, but Lin Qingyan didn't say it, and Yang Ji wasn't ready to tell her.
"Let's go. β
Yang Ji reined in his mind and spoke.
There was no transportation between Iron Crown Mountain and the town, so the three of them had to walk forward. The distance of six or seven miles is not far away, and it is not close to it.
The trio performed light feats. After about half an hour, I finally arrived at the town. Rows of white walls and green tiles, cornices arch corners, sandwiched between a wide cyan stone path in the middle.
The town looked depressed from a distance, but when you got closer, you realized. The streets were full of people. There are people dressed in all kinds of clothes.
"That's a lot of people!"
Duan Gang couldn't help but sigh.
Although the scale is not large, the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs, and this town looks much more lively than on Iron Crown Mountain.
"It looks like it's more than just a disciple of this sect, right?"
Yang Ji carefully looked around.
The first time he went to a small town around this kind of sect, it really gave him a very new feeling.
"Of course. β
Su Hong smiled and said:
"In addition to the relatives of the disciples of this sect, there are also disciples of other sects, as well as people from the secular and even the imperial court. Although there are not many disciples in this sect, none of them have a background background. Small clans, big clans, giants, wealthy families, and even ...... families. There are quite a few people behind the disciples of each sect, plus the power left here by those senior brothers of the previous generation who have left, so it is what you see. β
"But in general, they are mainly disciples of this sect. Although there are also disciples from other sects, they are generally not of high rank. Generally, there are some materials that are not bought near their own sect, so they will come here to buy them. - Here, safety is still guaranteed. β
Su Hong smiled and added.
Yang Ji nodded, the town is not far from the sect, and the safety should be relatively okay.
Yang Ji looked carefully. The wide bluestone pavement is lined with shops, although it is not magnificent. But it's neat.
"Senior Sister Su!"
"Senior Sister Su!"
"Senior Sister Su, are you hereββ"
Along the way, there were people in the crowd who kept greeting Su Hong, obviously familiar. Su Hong smiled and greeted these people one by one.
"Yang Ji, Duan Gang, I'll go shopping and buy something first. It's the first time you two come here. Let go a little and look around. When you see something you like, buy it. There's still a lot of good stuff here. β
Su Hong turned around and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Hmm. There you go. β
Yang Ji and Duan Gang nodded.
"Good. You two go shopping separately. When the sun was about to set, we would meet at the gate of the town and go back together. β
Su Hongdao.
Yang Ji looked up at the sky. It was still early, at least three or four hours before the appointed time, enough time for them to walk around the place a few times.
And the town is not far from the sect, so there is no need to stay here overnight.
waved his hand at Su Hong, and the two watched Su Hong disappear into the flow of people of all kinds. As for Yang Ji and Duan Gang, although they have a good relationship, they are not so inseparable, and they can't leave for a moment.
Respect between friends is the most basic, and after a few casual words, the two of them went their separate ways and went their separate ways to see if they could find something they liked.
The town's shops are full of things, and many things are laid out on the roadside for passers-by to see. Yang Ji carefully observed for a while, and found that most of the things could still be bought with silver tickets, and there was no situation that Yang Ji was worried that only pills could be purchased.
"Excuse me, how do you sell this fine iron?"
Yang Ji took a step forward and quickly looked at a few pieces of refined iron ingots sold on the street. In the frontier land, fine iron is not only scarce, but also precious.
Yang Ji still remembered that when he blocked the "Zuo Guangdou" with a fast sword, he relied on a fist made of a piece of fine iron given by Lu Ling. Even the long sword on his body was made of fine iron by the imperial court.
This kind of thing has a wide range of uses, and even collectibles are OK.
"A small ingot of 5,000 taels of silver tickets, and a large ingot of 10,000 taels!"
The "guy" was dressed in cloth, squatting behind the bunk, and opened his mouth without thinking.
"Scared!"
Yang Ji was taken aback: "So expensive?!"
Refined iron is indeed very expensive, but it is not so expensive, is it?! At least when Lu Ling gave him a pair of refined iron gloves, he didn't feel so outrageous! (To be continued......
