Chapter 195: Shiqiaofang City (I)

Shen Yun took a deep breath, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and raised his legs to the stone bridge.

The soles of the feet are very hard, and this bridge is no different from ordinary stone hole bridges.

Standing at the top of the bridge, the situation at the other end of the bridge can be seen more clearly.

On the river beach, there are many people setting up stalls. Not much different from the stalls in the market outside: these people sit cross-legged on the floor. A reed mat spread out in front of him. There were some goods on the mat. The only difference is that because it is night, there is a lantern in the corner of the reed mat.

These lanterns are the same size and style, pale yellow, round drum-shaped. In the distance, a field of lights flickered, like the starry sky overhead.

Well, that's not the point. Shen Yun walked down the stone bridge, and was very curious: What will be sold in the Immortal Fang Market? I wonder if I can find the rune paper and rune pen I want to buy?

Soon, he discovered another difference between this market and the outside market, that is, it was too quiet!

There was no shouting. No bargaining can be heard either.

The stalls are scattered and disorganized. The stall owners sat quietly behind the reed mats;

There are a lot of customers in the market, but they don't say a word, just looking at them and not buying.

However, Shen Yun secretly observed that whether it was the stall owner or the guests, they looked no different from ordinary ordinary people, and they had nothing to do with words such as fairy wind bones, fairy posture, and fairy energy. It is far from the "immortal" in his imagination. Even, he felt that the immortals here were inferior to the Dao Masters such as Master Yuning in the martial arts hall, whether they were dressed or behaved.

Even if the women put it, "everyone is letting in" and "getting more and more unbearable" in the market here, it refers to the customers, right? Shouldn't the stall owners all be immortals...... Shen Yun muttered in his heart: Shouldn't I be visiting a fake Immortal Fang Market?

The market is not large, with more than 100 stalls in total.

After visiting more than a dozen stalls, the doubts in Shen Yun's heart grew bigger and bigger: it seemed that there was nothing that immortals couldn't sell!

Among these dozen stalls, there are those selling herbs (Shen Yun estimates that they are fairy grass. Because he memorized the "Aoki Treasure Book" backwards, he remembered more than a thousand kinds of mortal medicinal materials, but he could not recognize the piles of herbs on the two herb stalls); there were those who sold all kinds of strange bones, wood, iron lumps, furs, and meat materials; there were also those who sold weapons such as knives and swords; and there were also those who sold half-used purses, boxes, bottles and cans.

When he saw the three-legged copper dome lined up from small to large in a stall in front of him, he almost dropped his jaw in shock—didn't he say that the immortals didn't eat the fireworks of the world? Why do they still sell big copper pots for cooking rice here? Moreover, these copper pots look like they are all old goods. Some have even been patched up in more than one place

At this moment, a young man in a green robe came over and squatted down in front of the stall. I saw him point to the smallest copper dome and ask softly, "How can this alchemy furnace be sold?"

Ah, finally seeing someone buying!

Shen Yun was overjoyed, and while continuing to walk forward, he pricked up his ears to listen to the young man's conversation with the stall owner:

"Ten spirit beads. ”

"What about this one?"

"Five spirit beads. ”

"Do you want to send a pass for the next time?"

"I don't send it. ”

"So expensive? ”

"Please. ”

The young man really stood up and walked away without looking back.

Shen Yun secretly shouted "bad" in his heart—he was worried that he would be robbed by a strong man on the road, so in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he buried the vermilion lacquer box and the treasure bag in the small courtyard. This time, he only brought five hundred taels of silver tickets and some loose silver.

I don't know if the spirit bead can be exchanged for a silver ticket...... He continued on his way.

After walking through a few more stalls, I finally saw a deal. There was a middle-aged woman who bought a palm-sized seventy percent new purse at a stall that sold old purses, as well as a pass charm for the next time from the stall owner, and spent 200 spirit beads!

Seeing her hand over a handful of colorful round beads to the stall owner, Shen Yun realized that he had already seen the spirit beads: before the ancient masters used the "Shrinking the Ground into Inches Technique", they would take out a bright round bead and put it in the center of the magic weapon. This round bead is a spirit bead!

There are many colors of the spirit beads, white, red, yellow, and green...... Colorful. But the size and shape are the same.

Shen Yun couldn't help but have a headache. He didn't even have a spirit bead, and it seemed that he couldn't get his wish today, so he could only return empty-handed.

Then I thought about it: How many people can come to Xianrenfang City for a visit? Even the Codex of Taishi Zu did not write about a similar experience. So, even if you just look at it, you can't buy anything, which is a great blessing.

In this way, I feel much better.

Gradually, there are more and more people in the market. Whispers can be heard everywhere. And Shen Yun witnessed several transactions with his own eyes. Without exception, they were all traded with spirit beads.

Just when Shen Yun completely extinguished the idea of changing the talisman paper and talisman pen, he suddenly saw a stall in front of him standing out from the crowd, which was particularly conspicuous:

Other stall owners are all stalls, but only this one stall has a long case, and the stall owner sits on the Taishi chair behind the desk.

Maybe it's because he's special, there's a long queue in front of the stall. Shen Yun has visited nearly half of the market, and he has not seen anything more prosperous than his.

What the hell is it selling?" Shen Yun walked over curiously and took a look.

Next to the stall stood a small wooden block, on which was written a line of eye-catching black characters in the center, "Exchange for Spirit Beads". There are also two lines of small characters on the right: ten taels of silver are exchanged for a spirit bead, and those who exchange more than ten spirit beads will be given a pass charm for the next Fang City.

In an instant, Shen Yun only felt that the flowers were bright and dark, and there was light in front of him.

Seeing that there were no less than ten people in line, he decided to look for a stall selling rune paper and rune pens first. If there is, it's not too late to come back and redeem the spirit beads.

Next, he saw another interesting stall: selling wine and rice.

Unfortunately, the drinks are served in large and small gourds, and the rice is served in white cloth bags the size of millstones.

It turned out that the drama said that the immortals did not eat or drink, which was all falsehood. Otherwise, how could there still be people selling wine and grain and rice in Xianrenfang City? Moreover, there are still many people who buy them.

Shen Yun's interest increased greatly, and he couldn't help but slow down and pricked up his ears to listen to their transactions.

"How do you sell Lingmi?"

"A bag of spirit beads. ”

Shen Yun is so familiar with it -- it was mentioned in the "Aoki Treasure Book"! It was the grain and rice eaten by immortal cultivators.

It turned out that the people in the market were not immortals, but a group of monks.

In other words, what he is visiting now is not a "fairy market", but a market where monks trade.

After studying art in the Hongyun Martial Arts Pavilion for three years, Shen Yun naturally knew what a monk did - a cultivator, that is, a monk. Like Daoist Yuning and Deputy Priest Yong'an, these people who have attained the Tao are monks.

Even so, Shen Yun was still very happy in his heart. Because this is also an experience that neither the Taishi Ancestor nor the Master has ever had.
