Chapter 27: The Seekers (3)
The stall owner who sold Ziluo Spring was no stranger, it was Ding Xing's teenage playmate Meng Xiaotang.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Meng Xiaotang's appearance has changed greatly, he should be strict with himself, lose his fat figure, and his complexion has been tanned a lot, causing Ding Xing to almost not recognize him.
Since Ding Xing stayed at Jinlu Winery, he only met Meng Xiaotang, a playmate of the same age with similar interests, but unfortunately it was a pity that the creation made people, and a white hoof devouring the main incident caused the two to part ways.
Two years ago, Meng Xiaotang was sent to Shijing Tea House by his mother Meng Qiaoshi, and since then, the two have never been in contact again, and they never imagined that they would meet by chance at the market today.
Ding Xing traveled with a smile, there was no way to greet Meng Xiaotang, he was very sorry in his heart, but he didn't want to leave, so he wandered around and looked around.
In front of Meng Xiaotang's stall, there was a young female cultivator, staring at the brocade box containing the 'Dingyan Pill', looking and looking, but she didn't buy it, but she didn't leave.
The young female cultivator obviously fell in love with the 'Dingyan Dan', but she was shy in her pocket, so she caused her hesitant and twisted words and deeds: "This big brother, can you be cheaper, you see that you look so arrogant and dry, why bother with the spirit stone, it's better to give the little sister a discount!"
Meng Xiaotang's tone was enthusiastic, but he was resolutely not praised: "Under the offer, Tong Su is not bullied! This Dingyan Pill was originally a dowry for my lady, because there were some changes in my family, and I urgently needed a large number of spirit stones, so she gave up this pill and asked me to sell it, if I give you a discount, I'm sorry for my lady." ”
When the young nun heard this, she quipped: "Yo, you look like you're only a teenager, and you're already married?"
Meng Xiaotang nodded, but did not elaborate on his family history: "Eldest sister, you ...... Ah no, girl, you've been grinding here for half an hour, why don't you go to other Dan shops and take a look, maybe you can meet cheaper beauty treasures. ”
The young nun's face did not change: "I've been shopping for a long time, it's the cheapest in your house!"
She knew that she was old, but she wanted to change to a coquettish tone: "Big brother, you will fulfill the little sister, the little sister will make ...... for you"
When she said this, she suddenly felt a cold current behind her for no reason, which made her extremely uncomfortable.
She hurriedly looked back, but saw a girl in a yellow shirt with her sleeves rolled, standing behind her at some point, pinching her waist, and giving an eviction order: "Do you like to buy it or not, what do you want! If you want to bargain, go to another house! If you don't leave, I will say to everyone, you seduce my father-in-law!"
No matter how thick the young female cultivator's face is, she has to go.
She glanced at the girl in the yellow shirt coldly, got up to leave, and when she passed by Ding Xing's side, she was still looking back with contempt, and muttered disdainfully: 'Seduce your husband?, you are not afraid of losing face, what a shrew, phew!'
When she turned her head, she happened to meet Ding Xing's gaze, and immediately changed her smiling face, she was born in casual cultivation, and she preferred to make friends with good men in the world, she saw Ding Xing's ruthlessness, and it was estimated that she could fight, she greeted herself: "This big brother, you look so familiar, have we met somewhere?"
Ding Xingli ignored it, turned around and left.
When his figure disappeared into the street, the yellow-shirted girl was still looking at him, suddenly frowned, and told Meng Xiaotang: "Brother Xiao Tang, the big man with the axe just now has been staring at you, let's be careful when we go back to the village, there are a lot of wild repairs in this market, and they have routines for robbery, first choose a target in the market, and then follow when you return home!"
Meng Xiaotang shook his head: "I admit that there are monks who rob, but it won't be that big man!"
The girl in the yellow shirt asked confusedly, "Why not him?"
Meng Xiaotang poked her in the head: "You don't want to think about it, if he chooses you as a target, will you find his flaws? He has been standing outside the stall for so long, deliberately letting you guard against him, how can he rob you? The real robbers must be unaware, so that the robbery can be successful!"
The girl in the yellow shirt sneered: "It makes sense, it seems that I am too worried!Brother Tang, since you are so smart, do you know what he wants to do?"
Meng Xiaotang was silent, he had already noticed Ding Xing, and felt that Ding Xing's gaze was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
He didn't think about it, his demeanor suddenly became solemn, and he said to the girl in yellow shirt in a consultative tone: "My father died in Binghua Mountain, my mother wants to worship him, as a son of man, I not only have to follow, but also avenge my father, you ......"
The girl in the yellow shirt interrupted him: "Little Brother Tang, since I marry you, I will definitely live and die, but ...... But I'm afraid my father and mother won't agree. ”
Meng Xiaotang didn't force it: "Ah Xiu, I won't embarrass you." ”
The girl in the yellow shirt suddenly looked sad.
Ding Xing had already walked away, and he did not hear this conversation between the young couple, he had received a letter from Bozu Ding Chenzhi, and learned some about the situation of Binghua Mountain, but Bozu only talked to him about the future prospects, but never mentioned the danger, so that he thought that Bozu's situation was not serious.
Ding Xing has been waiting for Ding Chenzhi's return, the recruitment period of Shangzong is five years, from the day Ding Chenzhi left, three years have passed, and the return period is very close.
Saying goodbye to Meng Xiaotang silently, Ding Xing went straight to the deacon hall of the bazaar, ready to apply for a stall, but was told that it was overcrowded and asked him to wait for the time being.
When he saw that there were dozens of monks waiting in the hall, he immediately left.
He continued to walk around the bazaar.
This time he didn't browse roughly, every time he passed a shop and stall, he observed very carefully, in fact, those medicine houses, tea houses, and wineries shops were all buying spiritual materials and treasures related to insect extermination at high prices, but these shops often had experienced old monks, and Ding Xing was reluctant to deal with them.
Later, he found that many monks would also put up signs on their stalls and write down their needs.
This includes information such as the acquisition of insect exterminators.
In this way, Ding Xing could directly sell his spirit wine to these monks.
But how to sell, Ding Xing needs to choose the object carefully.
He observed for most of the hour, and finally came to a stall where he was a casual cultivator.
The stall owner is a young monk in his early twenties, the stall is full of the corpses of all kinds of demon insects, he should be an insecticidal expert, but the means of killing insects are still insufficient, he hung a scroll in front of the stall, and asked for the purchase of "insect incense", "insect flag", "insect miasma" and other treasures famous in the world of cultivating immortals.
Ding Xing observed him for a long time, this is a monk who loves to be greedy and cheap, and his speech is not so sophisticated, the key is his background, he is not a disciple of Xianzhuang, but a cultivator in the field.
Ding Xing safely and reassuringly publicized the 'Worm Tears' to him.
He smelled the wine, screened the wine, and took out a mouthful of the beast bag that raised spirit insects, tested the power that Ding Xing said, and was busy for a long time before he asked: "This is a new wine, and the loss is that it is to find me, and no one else will buy it!"
Ding Xing said: "Thirty yuan!"
When the young monk heard this, he shouted in a male duck's voice: "Thirty yuan a jar, the price is higher than a piece of insect incense, why don't you go and grab it?"
Ding Xing immediately responded: "I sell in the bazaar, and I make more money than I rob, why should I rob it?"
The young monk choked for a moment, and then he nodded: "It makes sense! You dare to offer thirty spirit stones for a jar of wine, it is really more cost-effective than grabbing!"
