Volume 3 The Heroes of Zhongzhou Rise Chapter 158 Qixia Town under the mountain, and the investigation is even blocked
The six of them descended the hill and took the road that led to the town. Although it was a road leading to the town, it was not wide, and only allowed about two horse-drawn carriages to pass through. After walking for less than half an hour, the archway of the town entered the eyes of the six people.
The white marble archway is simple and unusual, and there are only a few auspicious cloud decorations on it. Perhaps it is very old, and the white torii is a little dim. The couplets on both sides of the torii have become blurred under the erosion of time. But the three big characters of the archway are still clearly visible. Qixia Town, this is the name of the town.
At some point, a noise gradually came from the ears of the six people. Hearing this voice, the six of them felt a little relieved. It's normal to have a lot of noise, but it's strange if a town isn't popular.
"Oh, it's not that there is no sound, it's just that we are far away and can't hear the sound."
Yun Yang chuckled, and his mood seemed to be a little lighter.
Several people did not reply to his words, but the relaxed expressions on their faces silently agreed with his words.
The torii of the town seems to be an isolated door, and the door is a desolate and uninhabited road, but inside the door is a lively scene. The straight road leads to the depths of the town, and the middle of the road is the townspeople who set up stalls. There is an endless stream of people shuttling between these vendors.
The cries mingle with a variety of voices, making it both noisy and lively. Needless to say, this is where the voices the six had heard earlier. The street vendors sell a wide variety of goods. Everything from the grains and vegetables people eat, to the clothes they wear, to the poultry and livestock they raise. Obviously, this is not a regular market, but a large market that only happens every few days.
Seeing this situation, the six of them decided to inquire about the news first. As for the matter of inquiring about news, Yun Yang has always been the most enthusiastic. Following Yunyang, everyone crowded into the bazaar together.
The arrival of the six people was like a wave in the sea, and it didn't seem very special. After all, there are quite a few people in the bazaar, and it won't be unusual to have six more people. It was very natural, and the six of them melted into this man's ocean.
Following the flow of people, the six came to a vendor. The stall owner is an old man who looks to be over 50 years old, and he sells nothing more than some fruits and vegetables. Yun Yang stepped forward and squatted in front of the stall and kept picking.
Seeing Yun Yang put down this and touch that, the old man was very unhappy. No stall owner likes to pick and choose customers. What they like the most is that customers buy all their goods, whether they are good or bad. And what I don't like the most is a guest like Yunyang. Don't talk about whether to buy or not, it's a burst of picking.
"Don't pick, lad. It's all the same, there's no good or bad thing. ”
The old man's face was not good-looking, but he still said to Yun Yang in a kind voice.
"Old man, I don't think so. Your goods are obviously worse than the ones above. ”
Yun Yang didn't look up, still picking on his own.
"This ...... Don't just look at the looks, boy. I bought a lot of this
Years of fruits and vegetables, no matter what, you are more experienced than you. Which is good and which is not, I know more than you do. ”
"Not necessarily!"
Yun Yang raised his head and gritted his teeth at the stall owner.
Grabbing an apple in each hand, Yun Yang handed the two apples together to the stall owner's eyes. Startled by this abrupt action, the stall owner subconsciously shrank his head back.
"Old man, you said you are well-informed, I don't know what the difference is between these two apples?"
The stall owner took the two apples, touched them in his hand, sniffed them with his nose again, and then put the two apples back into Yun Yang's hands.
"It's no different, both apples are intact, ripe and sweet!"
The stall owner smiled lightly, as if he was looking at a stunned young man.
"The old man may be well-informed on weekdays, but this time you are blind!"
Yun Yang was still smiling, looking at the old man tepidly.
Hearing Yun Yang's first half of the sentence, a warm smile appeared on the old man's face. But in the second half of Yun Yang's sentence, the old man's beard couldn't help but curle.
"Young offspring, you're a bit too uplifted. In this town, who can compare to the vision of my old man Wang!"
Yun Yang didn't say anything, and the smile on his face was still there. I saw that he gently closed his hands, and there were two soft clicks, and the apple in his hand shattered instantly. Seeing this scene, the stall owner's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Yun Yang in surprise, and stretched out his hand to point at him with difficulty.
The smile on Yun Yang's face was slightly proud, he thought that the old man was shocked by the strength in his hands. It's just that this smile didn't last long, and it was suppressed by the old man's words.
"You, you guy with my apple!"
The old man's face was ugly, and his voice suddenly became a little higher.
"No, old man, don't you see any difference?"
Holding four and a half pieces of apples in his hand, Yun Yang spread them out in front of the old man.
"What's the difference? It's just two apples, what's the difference. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and accompany my apple!"
The old man reached out and grabbed Yun Yang's sleeve, but Yun Yang subconsciously slapped the old man's outstretched hand. Although he was subconscious, Yun Yang's moment was not light. The old man's body staggered for a moment, and he almost knocked him down.
"Okay, you are a young student, you broke my apple, not only did you not compensate, but you also had to beat people, I will let everyone judge it!"
As he spoke, the old man was about to get up and call for someone.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, old man, you look at two apples differently. One is good, and one is moth-eaten!"
Yun Yang was in a hurry, and hurriedly pressed the old man.
"Anyway, stay with me Apple!"
Although the old man was pressed down, his tone was still unrelenting.
Out of helplessness, Yun Yang took out a few pieces of broken silver and compensated the old man. When the old man saw the broken silver, his eyes glowed. With a wave of his arm, a few pieces of broken silver disappeared into the old man's hands in an instant. Yun Yang smiled when he saw this, and opened his mouth to say something. But before he could speak, the old man glanced to the side. The old man's words seemed to come out of his nose, but in Yun Yang's ears, he was sullen.
"Hurry up and go away, don't make trouble here, my things won't sell you!"
Turning his face and not recognizing people, this is the truest portrayal. Yun Yang couldn't figure out why this was the case, he wanted to talk to find out the news, but he didn't expect to lose money and didn't find any information. Yun Yang was slightly angry, but he couldn't attack at this time. The sect of Jiuhua Academy stipulates that going out to practice must not harm secular people. Several people have always remembered this warning, so even if Yun Yang is angry in his heart, he has no way to attack in the face of this old man.
Others didn't know what was going on, but Xu Chenglin understood a little. Yun Yang didn't think about anything, and directly threw down a few pieces of broken silver. But the few pieces of silver he dropped were enough to buy the entire stall. When the old man saw the money, he was afraid that Yun Yang would regret taking back the money, so he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone.
Several people behind him saw Yun Yang's face darkened, Gongsun Jing covered his mouth and chuckled, Su Yunhe also laughed silently, Xu Chenglin had a helpless expression, and the expressions of the other two were surprisingly consistent, all of them looked disdainful.
"Alright, alright, let's change places. Why are you hanging in one place!" Su Yunhe stepped forward and patted Yun Yang's shoulder gently.
Yun Yang's chest twitched a few times, and he took a few deep breaths. As if he had finally reluctantly suppressed his anger, he shook his head and reluctantly followed the five of them to move forward.
The crowd had not gone a few dozen steps before the group stopped again. They were stopped by a Taoist priest with a beard, dressed in a dirty robe and holding a long banner with the words "Iron Mouth" written on it.
"Young man, I see that your Yin Tang is black, and you must have been haunted by bad luck recently. If you don't let me crack it for you, something will happen in the near future!"
The Taoist priest shook his head and looked at the six people with a worried expression, but the last words were said to Yun Yang.
"You!"
Yun Yang was indignant in his heart, and he was about to rush up to teach this person a lesson. It's just that before he could attack, Su Yunhe directly pulled it.
The Taoist priest is actually right, Yun Yang's anger has not subsided at this time, and his face is still black, isn't it that Yintang is black?
"Forget it, don't be like them!"
Su Yunhe sighed and softly persuaded Yun Yang. Today, Yun Yang's luck was a little bad, and he was deflated again and again, which made him a little helpless.
"Don't talk about this descendant. You yourself are no better than him, I see that you are also a good star, and disaster will befall you in the near future!"
The Taoist priest pointed at Su Yunhe, looking unfathomable.
Su Yunhe was a little speechless, who did he provoke, how could he even be cursed by others.
Su Yunhe's expression was a little ugly, he took a deep breath, and pointed one hand directly at the Taoist priest's nose.
"My greatest bad luck is to meet you!"
The Taoist priest didn't care, and then turned his gaze to Gongsun Jing.
"Miss's flower and moon appearance, I think you are going to have peach blossom luck recently. ”
Gongsun Jing didn't talk, just smiled. She knew that not answering at this time would be the best answer. This Taoist priest doesn't get any feedback, so he will go to someone else.
Sure enough, the Taoist priest didn't hear Gongsun Jing's answer, and then moved his gaze to look at Li Zhao and Ma Zhiyuan, who were expressionless.
"Two young people, there is something that can't get by. Crying and mourning all day long, this is not good for parents and children. No, look at you don't have any children at all. Well, do you think I'm right or not?"
Seeing that no one answered, he turned his gaze to Xu Chenglin at the end.
"This young man, I think you should have an adventure recently. How about I, would you like me to point you out?"
Seeing Xu Chenglin carrying a long sword behind him, the Taoist priest thought for a while and finally gave the title of Shaoxia.
"You're talking about me?"
Xu Chenglin pointed at himself with a smile on his face.
"That's right, it's you!"
The Taoist priest nodded slightly, with an unfathomable expression.
"Dao Chief, I don't have any money on me. Besides, the opportunity is illusory, how can it be easily obtained by guidance. ”
Xu Chenglin smiled, but he rejected the Taoist priest in another way.
"Mountain people have their own tricks, how can you and other mortals know!"
The Taoist priest looked up at the sky and gently shook the long banner in his hand.
"Oh? That being the case, then please give me some advice. It's just that it's the same thing, I don't have any money on me. ”
Xu Chenglin was interested, and he wanted to know what this Taoist priest would say.
"It doesn't matter. I've lived in small towns for decades, and there's no place I don't know. Report it to your door, and I'll go directly to ask for it when the time comes. ”
The Taoist priest had a kind smile on his face, but when he looked closely, there was a hint of success in his treacherous scheme.
"Hehe, we just came here, where did he report his home, and where did you go to find him?"
couldn't help the nonsense of the two, Gongsun Jing smiled and spoke.
"You guys, you're from outside Qixia Town?"
The Taoist priest looked at the six people with a strange expression, and then began to look them up and down.
"yes, what's the problem?"
Gongsun Jing didn't see the change in the Taoist priest's expression, but still smiled and spoke.
The next scene surprised the six of them. The Taoist priest swallowed his saliva and suddenly ran into the distance, shouting loudly as he ran.
"Outsiders! They're outsiders, they're outsiders! Outsiders are coming again!"
The lively bazaar instantly became crowded. Crackling and noisy sounds mingled together, and there was a chaotic look. In less than half a tea time, there was no trace of people in the market.
