Volume 1 Dead Leaves Return to Dust Chapter 166 Fang City
I followed the map in my mind and returned to Ning'an, but seeing that the city was in order, Ye Ku deliberately listened attentively, and no one in the streets and alleys talked about what happened in the morning, only everything was as usual.
"This is strange, although there are few people in the west of the city, more than 100 armored soldiers have entered the city and broken into the house, and it is impossible to hide such a big thing. In any case, it is better to be careful. ”
Ye Ku changed his dress before entering the city, and in the early morning, he was like two people, and when he arrived at the street, he only frowned when he saw the dazzling array of goods, without him, although there are many types of things sold here, most of them are just mundane things, porcelain dishes, gold and silver jewelry, grass and leaf herbs are all for monks, which makes him very surprised, and he said: "I also wonder that there are no monks around this kind of place, it turns out that these things are sold inside." ”
When he was in Beimu City before, he and Shangguan Xuanqing went out with Gu Jun as a companion, and he didn't feel like anything at that time, but now he realized that because Gu Jun really saved a lot of trouble.
In fact, this is his own shallow knowledge, and he always speculates on today's things according to the memories of his previous life, and his memory is always deep in his cultivation, and it is impossible for him to have any contact with mortals, let alone mingle in this kind of market, and even such things that are common sense in the eyes of monks now make jokes.
He thought to himself: "It's good that they weren't seen by Xuanqing, otherwise this person would have been a big loss." No, right now, Xun Mei is seriously injured and her life is worried, I still want to be ashamed of it. ”
There are two different immortals, each city has about two markets, one is mostly mortals go in and out, buy some daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, duck, fish and meat, and the other is the place where warriors and monks buy and sell, that is, the things used by warriors under the seven grades of ordinary bones will not be placed in the previous place.
Just imagine, if a spiritual treasure is sold together with poultry such as chickens and ducks in one place, it will not be a big joke in the world.
When Ye Ku arrived at a shop selling porcelain, a guy immediately greeted him, threw him a silver ingot, and asked casually, "Where is the place where Ning'an immortal cultivators trade?"
The guy took the silver, his face was full of smiles, and when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned, glanced at Ye Ku's expression, carefully held the silver in both hands and handed it to Ye Ku, and said respectfully: "The villain doesn't know, please take the silver back." ”
Although he loves money, he also knows what kind of silver can be taken and what kind of silver can't be taken yet, Ye Ku is an immortal cultivator, although this guy is not a person in the immortal path, but he also knows that these "immortal chiefs" have strange tempers, and the secular laws are useless in front of them.
The two of them looked like this in the eyes of the shopkeeper, knowing that their own guy couldn't do anything else, but his eyesight was not bad every day, and he was never so respectful to him, seeing this, he hurriedly put down the pen and greeted him, "But is there anything you can do for your guests?"
The little brother explained the situation again, and the shopkeeper took the silver, put it back in Ye Ku's hand, and said with a smile: "This kind of trivial matter, how can you give silver, if you don't dislike it, I'll take you over." ”
It is understandable to make a good fortune in business, and for this shopkeeper, if Ye Ku is an immortal cultivator, it is the best thing.
"Oh?" Ye Ku glanced at him, and saw that the shopkeeper's eyebrows were full of courtesy, "Please." After speaking, he was led by the shopkeeper to the immortal cultivator's market.
"Villain Ding Zhong, haven't you asked Xiaoxian Changgui's surname yet? Seeing you like this, you don't come to Ning'an often, right?"
"Your surname is Ye, you don't come often, and your home is stuffy, so I finally have the opportunity to come out for a walk. Ye Ku replied casually, looking left and right along the way, looking quite curious.
Ding Zhong rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know what you want to buy, little fairy, I happen to have something to do with it, eh, I don't know much about the things that the immortals use, I only know that they are shining, and at first glance they are good objects that are both atmospheric and high-grade." ”
The two walked for a while, and actually arrived at the place where Ye Ku saw the fat Taoist priest before, he noticed it when he passed by here in the early morning, this is by no means a market for monks to trade, the fat Taoist priest is a person who is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, what will be in his eyes here?
Ye Ku pointed to the stall, "Ding Zhong, what is that place selling?"
In terms of eyesight, Ye Kuzi saw it more clearly than Ding Zhong, he wanted to ask someone who was familiar with this place to see if there were any mysteries in it.
Ding Zhong glanced at it, and said indifferently: "That's Lao Zhang's painting stall, portraits, landscapes, flowers and birds, everything is painted, I'm doing it here, eh, it's been more than ten years, it's been a good painting, but the price is not low, Immortal Chief, are you interested?
Ye Ku's face suddenly sank, glanced at Ding Zhong, and said, "How can a monk easily leave a statue outside?" Shopkeeper Ding, don't tell other monks this next time, I am kind-hearted, I think you are good, I just think that you are unintentional, but if someone else listens to your words, then it will be impossible to say. ”
This is a half-truth, to tell the truth, naturally there are monks in this world who have unpredictable means, and can curse people to live and die with a portrait as a medium.
This method is quite strange, although it can kill people invisibly, but the caster himself has to pay a certain price, and it is not easy to get a portrait first.
Ding Zhong broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and said in fear: "Yes, yes, yes, what the immortal chief taught is that the villain must remember, must remember." Only then did he remember that Ye Ku was not a mortal, and the two of them chatted casually before, which made Ding Zhong almost forget this layer.
Xu was frightened by Ye Ku's sudden seriousness, Ding Zhong clenched his fists, his palms were full of cold sweat, he lowered his head and concentrated on leading the way.
Ye Ku patted Ding Zhong's shoulder and said, "Why is Shopkeeper Ding so nervous, I am also kind enough to remind you, I am a little anxious between my words, but I don't blame you." ”
The immortal chief laughed, laughed. ”
Ning An said that it was not big, but it was not small, Ding Zhong took it to the west of the city, the population gradually became sparse, passing by Yueqiu's house, Ye Ku changed his appearance, unless Zhu Quan was here, it would be impossible for those ordinary soldiers to recognize him, so he was not worried about revealing his whereabouts.
Looking around, everything was as usual, there was not the slightest trace of the fight, there was no sergeant on patrol, and there was no seal on the door and wall.
"Shopkeeper Ding, where is this, and how long will it take?"
"Ye Xiaoxian don't worry, although this Ning'an seems to be a trouble for us mortals, but in fact it is not the territory of you immortals, this is out of the west of the city, and not far south is the Fang Market where Xianchangmen trades, you also know that some time ago, there was an incident of Xianmen accepting apprentices in Ning'an, right? ”
Ding Zhong pondered his words and said, "You have also seen that this place is full of rich and noble people, isn't it because this place is closest to the immortals?" ”
Ye Ku said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ding is too modest, presumably you are also from the Ding family, but you are also counted among the 'rich and noble'." Although Ding Zhong said it clearly, he didn't say a word about what happened in the early morning, and Ye Ku looked at him like he didn't seem to be deliberately concealing, and he couldn't help but feel very strange in his heart, but he didn't ask.
Ding Zhong received the praise of Ye Ku, the "little immortal chief", but he could only smile bitterly in his heart, and reported to the sky with a fist, and said: "Where and where, thanks to the ancient immortals, I am just a side disciple of the Ding family, but I can't afford to be praised like this." His face was happy, as if he was a little proud.
While talking, the two of them arrived at the Fang Market, without going through the main gate, saying that they needed to pay the entrance fee of half a spirit stone according to the rules, Ding Zhong didn't want to spend this money, so he took Ye Ku and went around from a remote place.
Ye Ku smiled, didn't care, and said in his heart: "This is really a good person, help people to the end." ”
When Ye Ku came out of a remote hut in this remote location, there were already hundreds of spirit stones on his body, and Ding Zhong, who was waiting outside the door to share the money, pointed at Ye Ku and couldn't speak with his mouth wide open.
"Ding"
A spirit stone rolled to Ding Zhong's feet, and Ye Ku patted him on the shoulder as he passed by, "I don't mean to blame you. I'll get them all out and bury them later, clean them up, so that no one can see them, I don't want to get into trouble again. ”
Ding Zhong seemed to be frightened, stunned, Ye Ku staggered past him, and then he saw that the corpses that had fallen to the ground in the house were all over the place, but fortunately, there was no smell of blood.
Ye Ku didn't worry about the silver, but this spirit stone was really a little lacking, and Ye Chengtian didn't expect that his son would use the spirit stone one day.
He originally thought that he would find someone to "borrow" some, but he didn't expect these people to rob him, but he thought that he would be killed, and he even brought a lot of spirit stones on his body, which was really self-defeating.
This ill-gotten gain also came righteously, and it is no wonder that others are unkind.
"Defense Spirit Treasure, Xuan Turtle Shield, two hundred spirit stones, no two prices!"
"Five-hundred-year-old azure flowers, exchange for twelve three-hundred-year-old cold tobacco, only exchange for not sell!"
"The spirit rune left by the Ancestral Saint Heavenly Master, you can take the three spirit stones, you can't buy it, you can't buy it, you can't be fooled!"
There is no difference between this immortal market and the mortal market outside, the sound of selling and bargaining is endless, these people are all people with cultivation, and their voices are far louder than mortals, but no matter how they beg, no matter how they pay back, there are few people who are as blushing as the fat Taoist.
There are few mortals here, and the warriors don't talk about it, and the monks who have the true qi of their own lives are naturally self-conscious and refuse to lose face.
Ye Ku walked along the street, there were also many shops on both sides, and more people along the street spread a piece of colorful cloth on the ground, and put on the pill magic weapon talisman for sale, with or without a price, it all depends on the mood of the person who set up the stall today.
Most of the shops with facades are opened by some family sects, because this market is the territory of the Ding family, and some rent has to be paid to open a shop, and those scattered spirit stones are not many, and they can't pay the rent, and there is no need to rent a shop for their own little things, so they have to set up a stall on the spot.
Although the shopkeeper Ding is evil, what he said is not all lies, at least his surname has opened a shop in this city, Ding Zhong is not talking nonsense.
Looking up, the big plaque reads "Ding Ji" two gilded characters, but the lower right corner is engraved with a strange tree, the leaves are withered but recognized, this is the rumored ancient tree in the wooden palace in the past, the ancient spirit inherited the blessed land of the wooden palace mountain gate, has always been orthodox, and also followed this ancient tree as a symbol.
The Ding family has a big business, and it is impossible to collude with outsiders to do this murderous and overselling business for the sake of dozens or hundreds of spirit stones, if this kind of thing is spread, who would dare to come to this city, but anyone who has done things knows which is more important between the two.
