Chapter 301: A fork in the road
A fork in the road in a small town.
Bai Yujun wears a hat to set up a roadside stall, sits on a small bench, and works hard to sell oil-paper umbrellas, the umbrella surface is painted with landscapes, and more oil-paper umbrellas are painted with some special cartoon characters, and the shape is peculiar and eye-catching.
In the gap between the stalls, I continued to make oil-paper umbrellas, as if I was uncomfortable not looking for something to do.
"Girl, how much does an umbrella cost?"
A middle-aged scholar took a fancy to an oil-paper umbrella and asked the price, and when he squatted down to check, he accidentally saw the peerless beauty, and his expression was in a trance and he was shocked.
"A tael of silver. β
Passers-by shook their heads, one or two silver can buy a lot of things, there is no need to buy an oil-paper umbrella that can be bought for dozens of dollars, and the scholar took out a tael of silver in a daze and handed it over, still laughing, laughing stupidly.
The onlookers understood at a glance that this scholar was hooked by the fox spirit, bought an umbrella with a tael of silver, and might be beaten to death by his mother-in-law when he returned home.
He took the silver, put away the oil-paper umbrella, tied it with a strip of cloth and handed it to the scholar.
When the paper umbrella arrived, the scholar remembered that he had actually spent a tael of silver to buy an umbrella, and wanted to return it, but he looked at the delicate face and was embarrassed to speak, sighed and thought he was confused, and bought it, in fact, it was very good-looking.
Bai Yujun didn't raise his head.
In fact, scholars have gained great benefits, the paintings on those paper umbrellas are not only paintings, but also a simple formation that is extremely important to ordinary people, placed at home to prevent the breeding of evil, and the night road can guard the Yuan Shen from the interference of ghost illusions, and can resist the attack of ordinary ghosts.
The sun is warm, the wine shop and tea shop at the fork in the road have no business, Xiao Er and the shopkeeper squatted at the door to eat melon seeds.
"Whose girl is so handsome, I really want to go to her house to propose. Xiao Er couldn't take his eyes off.
The shopkeeper pursed his lips and spit out the skin of the melon seeds with a snort.
"Three generations of your family have changed their pants, what do you take to marry a daughter-in-law, besides, the girl just now knocked the ruffian Liu unconscious, maybe she is a martial arts master, and the toad wants to eat swan meat. β
"Hey, maybe other girls like me as an honest person. β
What he said, even the second child next door couldn't listen to it, turned his back to the eyes, and was not upset.
"Look! There's someone on the road! Maybe we'll eat and rest!"
The shopkeeper of the teahouse is busy preparing to pick up customers, this place is also a traffic artery, there are often business travelers passing by, there are often travelers who do not go to the village and do not go to the store, there are often travelers who settle down to eat wine and drink tea, the shop can not make a fortune and starve to death, it is a livelihood.
Bai Yujun didn't raise his head and continued to work.
I've cut a lot of bamboo strips, enough for a while.
There are five people who came, a middle-aged man led four young people, the relationship between master and apprentice, the young people ranged from fifteen or sixteen to more than twenty years old, cultivated during the qi refining period, holding a sword and wearing a robe, like a cultivator, the middle-aged man was in the early stage of foundation building.
Don't underestimate the foundation building period, this world is still mostly low-level monks, there are very few monks in the Jindan period and above, and there are more Qi refining periods and foundation building periods that are encountered during walking and traveling, except for a few major sects, most of the sect masters of the rest of the small sects only have Jindan cultivation, and Yuanying cultivation can be regarded as a medium-sized sect, and there are even many foundation building periods to accept a few protΓ©gΓ©s to open a sect.
It is already very powerful to go out and build a foundation period, after all, the Jindan period is extremely rare.
Those people in Chang'an City can only ask for the foundation building period and the qi refining period, and the price of a Jindan monk out of the mountain is very expensive.
Bai Yujun glanced up at the foundation building monk.
"The pseudo-foundation building period that comes out of taking medicine. β
muttered in a low voice, saying that the monk's true heel, a monk who relied on taking pills to live until the foundation building period, and this was the end of his life.
Pseudo-cultivation refers to those who rely on external forces rather than their own breakthroughs to obtain cultivation, the foundation is unstable and the spells are not refined, unless there is a good magic weapon by the side, it is difficult to beat the monks of the same realm.
Several people sat in the teahouse, which made Xiao Er, the shopkeeper of the wine shop next door, depressed.
"Master, look, that umbrella seller is really beautiful!"
"There are such beautiful women in the mountain town, I have to guard against it, hurry up and eat and hurry early. β
Although the foundation building period is a fake, the knowledge is not low, at least know how to be cautious when going out, who knows if a certain master likes to play low-key, cautious first.
After eating, the five masters and apprentices threw the silver coins and turned around and left.
When passing by the umbrella stall, Bai Yujun suddenly spoke.
"Buy an umbrella, it's rainy in the mountains, and there is an umbrella to protect you from the rain. β
The Zhuji monk frowned, thinking that there was something wrong with this stall girl, but he couldn't see what the problem was, and the villagers in the countryside didn't have the slightest horror when they saw the cultivator, there was a problem!
"What's the use of an umbrella and why buy it?"
"I bought my umbrella to cover the rain, not to get wet by the rain and save the disease, not expensive, as long as one or two silver can buy one, don't you think about it. β
Bai Yujun didn't raise his head, still lowered his head and cut bamboo branches.
Before the Zhuji monk spoke, a young man with blood and qi couldn't help but speak.
"We cultivators never use umbrellas, spells can cover the rain, but you are a good little girl, it is better to be a maid by my side, than to show up here and set up a stall as a vendor. β
Bai Yujun smiled at the corner of her mouth and didn't care.
"It's going to rain......"
After speaking, he bowed his head and stopped talking, the young man wanted to do it but was caught by the Zhuji monk, secretly annoyed that the apprentice did not know the danger of walking in the rivers and lakes, the girl was not an ordinary person, and turned around in anger and continued to hurry, the young man had no choice but to follow the master.
Suddenly, clouds overshadowed the sky.
This is not Bai Yujun's so-called talent, but there is really rain, the weather in the mountains is like a child, saying that if you change your face, you will change your face, only Bai Yujun, who has a strong perception of weather conditions, can know in advance.
Raindrops fall......
The five masters and apprentices habitually cast spells to resist the rain, and what frightened the five of them was that the rain fell directly on their bodies in disregard of the spells, and the wet clothes also cooled the hearts of the five masters and apprentices, standing motionless and quietly in the rain, and not looking at the fingers and fingers of the shopkeeper of the wine shop and the little er, and their hearts were cold.
The strange thing is that the paper umbrella placed by the girl and the stall did not get drenched in the rain, as if the rain was automatically avoided.
"I said a long time ago that buying my umbrella can protect me from the rain, alas, I always don't listen to persuasion, what to do if I get cold, the quack doctors in the town can't cure it. β
During the foundation building period, the master trembled......
Trembling, he walked back to the stall, took out ten taels of silver, trembled and handed it to the girl.
"I ...... I buy five umbrellas ......"
The four apprentices stood behind the Zhuji monk with pale faces, they were just a small cultivation gang, not a sect, Bai Yujun did not feel the strong aura of the seven black-clothed killers on the five of them, it was not a great evil, there was no murderous intention, there was really no need for that.
He picked up five umbrellas and handed them to the other party, took the silver, and found five taels of broken silver.
"Take it and look for your money. β
"Thank you for the grace of the predecessors who don't kill......"
"Let's go, go back and forth, forget everything here. β
"Yes......"
The five masters and apprentices returned the same way with umbrellas, the cold drizzle was drizzling, and the small stalls were getting more and more blurred. I want to talk about "New White Snake Asks Immortals" with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
