Chapter 26: Old Friends (2)
Because locust plagues can break out at any time at Golden Dew Winery, it is imperative to stock up on the treasure of extermination.
But Ding Xing still delayed for a few days before rushing to the 'Jiuzhuang Market'.
This bazaar is not held every day, and must be held in time for the January Zhuzhuang trading day, when the monks gather, and all kinds of goods are of good quality and low prices, so it is worth Ding Xing's special trip.
On the day he left the village, he passed through the Spirit Beast Palace.
Thinking of his old friend Qingfeng, the scene of fighting the enemy two years ago is still vivid, if it is in the past, he will definitely rent Qingfeng to accompany him.
This time, however, the situation is exceptional.
Ding Xing was reluctant to expose that the 'insect tears' were from his hands, and he needed to cover people's eyes and ears when he was in a hurry, and he was light and simple, so naturally he couldn't bring the green breeze.
In addition, Ding Xing also has to disguise his appearance.
When he killed the young man in Mai in the snow forest, Ding Xing once seized a batch of human skin masks, as well as a powerful and strange 'skin painting technique', he has occasionally studied in his spare time in recent years, and has already mastered this method of disguise, which just came in handy for this trip.
When he arrived outside the village, he first found a secluded and dense forest, pasted a bearded mask with a long beard, and dressed himself as a reckless high-roller, and his age changed from a teenager to a middle-aged man.
After finishing his makeup, he cleared his throat again, and suddenly shouted: "My name is Muye, the wild field!
The voice was thick and majestic, like thunder, and the gray rabbit at the edge of the forest was paralyzed with a voice, and he quickly got up again and ran wildly.
Ha ha!
Ding Xing deliberately stomped a few more feet, pretending to track, and at this moment, the gray rabbit ran and jumped, eager to grow wings.
Bullying no one, not bullying small animals.
Ding Xing was happy for a while, took out a short axe, stuck it in his waist, and then continued to hurry.
The surname Muye is all over the entire Thousand Hammer Furnace Village, which has hundreds of miles of mining territory and nearly a thousand rough men who mine and strike iron all day long, this is all the situation that Meng Changjun told Ding Xing, so he pretended to be a villager of Thousand Hammer Furnace Village.
And it is pretended to be presentable, so that outsiders will not see any flaws.
This is all thanks to the 'Skin Painting', Ding Xing's transfiguration is not just as simple as putting on a mask and changing his appearance, but also changing his voice, movements, and even the shape of his torso bones.
When he arrived at the Jiuzhuang Collection, the Qi cultivation period monks of the same realm, even if they cast spells, could only see that he had changed his appearance, and if they wanted to see through his true appearance, they had to tear off the mask.
As for those seniors in the Xuan Fetal Period, the cultivation of Ding Xing's Qi cultivation period is not yet qualified to enter the eyes of this kind of master, don't look at the two sides are in the same sect, but they are monks from two worlds, it is difficult to have any intersection.
Ding Xing can travel with confidence.
He just needs to be careful on the way, and no longer encounter trouble like the young man in Mai.
The distance between Jiuzhuang Ji and Jinlu Winery, and the distance from the winery to his hometown, is actually roughly the same, only one is in the north and the other is located in the south.
In the past, when the Qiongtai faction opened the mountain, it first set up nine immortal villages, and the territory was all located near the Qiongtai faction, among which there was a Qingzhi medicine village in the northwest corner, and the most herbs of tribute over the years, and the most expensive, which won the favor of the Qiongtai faction.
The monks of Qingzhi Medicine Village insisted on their hard work, so they proposed to the sect to set up a trading market to increase the flow of treasures between the major immortal villages, which could also indirectly promote the prosperity of the territory, and this proposal was quickly approved, and the Jiuzhuang Market was born.
The market location is located on the side of the green river outside Qingzhi Pharmacy.
Ding Xingxiu is currently able to fly with a weapon, but flying is too mana-intensive, and the efficiency of rushing is actually not as good as pasting a few wind talismans.
After walking here for nearly a day and a night, Ding Xing entered the territory of Qingzhi Medicine Village in the early morning, and then rushed to Jiuzhuang along the Luyin River.
It didn't take long for the attic shops built along the river in the major immortal villages to come into view.
The closer he got to Jiuzhuang Ji, Ding Xing found that there were more pedestrians around him, including some masters who cultivated to the late stage of Qi training, all of whom gave up flying and were all hurrying on foot, this is because Jiuzhuang has no-fly rules, and the market is a no-fly zone within a radius of ten miles, not only forbidden to fly, but also strictly forbidden to fight.
As Ding Xing walked, he looked into the distance towards the bazaar, and could only see a general outline.
The Luyin River is only a few zhang wide, there are more than ten bridges, the first bridge and the tail bridge are separated by several miles, in this area, all the banks of the river are attic buildings, and there is a street in front of each of these buildings, and the street is an ordinary stall.
Ding heard Yu Tai introduce before waking up, the shops on the Jiuzhuang Market are all the private property of the major immortal villages, even the land has been bought, and the guards are also sent by themselves, and they are not under the jurisdiction of Qingzhi Medicinal Village.
For example, Jinlu Winery, on the bank of the Luyin River, has a private large wine shop, the business is so hot that it is famous far and wide, there are really many drunkards in the world of cultivating immortals, drinking wine is not only to improve cultivation, not everyone has cut off grains, and the appetite is still very strong.
As for the other scattered stalls outside the store, they must pay a certain fee to Qingzhi Pharmacy and accept the jurisdiction of the pharmacy, of course, everyone is willing to pay, because doing business here is no less safe than several Zongmenfang markets in Weiguo.
Imagine that all the immortal villages under the jurisdiction of the Qiongtai faction are camped in Jiuzhuangji, in order to maintain their common benefits, but whenever there is a bloody incident, they will unite to quell it.
Moreover, the Jiuzhuang market is completely open to the outside world, not only the people of Xianzhuang and the disciples of the upper sect, but also the disciples of the foreign sect, as well as the scattered cultivators in the territory of the country, can freely enter and leave the market.
This rule was obviously intended to enhance the circulation of goods in various places, thereby promoting the prosperity of Jiuzhuang Ji.
The monthly market can easily attract tens of thousands of monks to cheer, and it can also be seen that the success of Jiuzhuang market.
Ding Xing recalled Yu Tai's explanation of the market information to him, and the people had already walked into the stall street on the south bank of the Luyin River.
At this time, it was a good autumn weather, and there were more monks traveling than usual, and their ears were filled with the sound of bargaining, but these monks were all juniors in the Qi cultivation period without exception.
It is rumored that there is a secret pavilion in the Jiuzhuang Collection, and the little monks like Ding Xing can't enter that place, and they are all prepared for the seniors of the Xuanfetal Period.
But that's fine, Ding Xing can sell his 'worm tears' with peace of mind.
After strolling around the South Bank Street and walking a few river bridges, Ding Xing was about to go to the deacon's hall in the market to apply for a stall, but there was an enthusiastic shouting not far away, which suddenly attracted him, and he immediately moved over and listened attentively.
"There are two kinds of rejuvenation, one is short-term rejuvenation, such as this kind of spirit wine purple carrot spring, drink a glass every day, you can keep your youthful appearance, but if you stop drinking, aging will still appear, this kind of price is very cheap, and the other is permanent rejuvenation, like this one is a fixed face pill, you can keep your face forever! This girl, first tell me which one you want to buy, I will give you a price!"
