Volume 2 Outside the Mountains Chapter 69 The Ancient City of Fish
It was drizzling slightly, and a young man in a short shirt wore a green robe, followed the crowd, paid a two-penny entrance fee, and flowed into the ancient city of fish.
It is also the two county towns under the jurisdiction of Taoyuan County, Daruidu Prefecture, and there is not much difference between this fish ancient city and that mountain water city in terms of scale.
The only difference is that there is a big river flowing through the east of this ancient fish city, so there are more fishermen in this fish ancient city than in Nashanshui County, and the air is more humid than in Nashanshui County.
Xu Changsheng tightened the clothes on his body, and he didn't know where to go after entering the city, he came to this fish ancient city because he was entrusted by the injured man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make a detour here.
But it is impossible to take out the wooden box on the spot, in case there is some kind of vision, attracting a large number of enemies, and I don't know how to deal with it, so I can't even put myself on it. The best way is naturally to find an inn and take out the wooden box again, and wait for the person to come up and take it away, and you can be considered a success.
Just do what you say.
Xu Changsheng began to look for it in this fish ancient city, this inn can't be found randomly, it has to be convenient to escape, if something really happens, he must be able to get out as soon as possible.
This line of chivalry is righteous and righteous, but you can't really put yourself in.
When searching, Xu Changsheng also found that the cultivators in this fish ancient city seemed to have a lot of water cultivation methods, and their bodies were more or less surrounded by water spiritual energy, and most of their cultivation was hovering between the qi training period and the transformation of mortals, and Xu Changsheng did not find a single monk who entered the Xuan Realm after walking for a long time.
Maybe when those monks reached the Xuan Realm, few of them came out. Seeing that the highest cultivation was still a man in black who was at the peak of his transformation, his breath was revealed, for fear that others would not know what his cultivation was, and he swaggered through the market in this ancient fish city, and people also avoided it, for fear that he would be accidentally injured.
Xu Changsheng is also shrewd this time, and he runs the "Tibetan Plan" a little, revealing the aura of refining the body, which can also save a lot of unnecessary trouble, for example, in the county town of Nashan and Shui before, when he entered the Jubao Zhai, he was also troubled;
Although it will not be a few pieces of meat to be muttered by others, it will still be uncomfortable in the end, after all, no one likes to be sneered at by others.
As for why only the cultivation of the body is revealed, then there is some to say, this is what I thought about before I went out, and I went out and fell into one realm, if it wasn't for the lack of cultivation, I thought about falling two realms in a row.
At least that's it, down-to-earth!
Basically, after visiting all the ancient county towns, Xu Changsheng found a small inn in a small alley in the north of the city.
The inn is not big, the two floors add up to only eight rooms, and there are few people, just a gray-haired old man in charge, and no one else is seen.
Xu Changsheng spent fifteen copper plates to ask for a middle room, it was getting late, and he didn't go out again after checking in, so he hung the clothes on the wall, and sat by the window and ate a piece of barbecued wild boar.
The wild boar was caught in the barren mountain before, and it was said to be caught, but in fact, it took a punch. At that time, I was bored, so I found a stream, slaughtered the wild boar, and roasted it all on the shelf. At that time, it was really fragrant, and it attracted two wild leopards to covet it, but Xu Changsheng also had food, so he didn't make another move, but just scared them away.
After roasting, Xu Changsheng used Changsan to cut them into small pieces and put them in mustard seeds as rations. Fortunately, it will not deteriorate when put into the mustard seeds, and every time you take it out, it is fragrant, as if it has just been baked.
But no matter how fragrant it is, there are times when you get tired of eating, just like now, Xu Changsheng just ate a small piece and took it back.
After taking care of it, he took out the wooden box, placed it on the table in front of him, and stared at it intently.
I'm afraid I'll miss something.
But after staring at it for a while, he didn't find any changes, it was still a simple wooden box, Xu Changsheng was also a little bored, and wanted to call Da Lu out to play, but he was worried that someone would come and find it later.
Although Xu Changsheng didn't have much knowledge, he could probably guess that the wolf hao that Da Lu was hiding and the inkstone where Ying Zhong was hiding were a strange treasure.
The word "strange treasure" is still what he sees from the book, and the strange treasure is different from the ordinary magic weapon.
There are magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and dao weapons, and each magic weapon has more or less help for cultivation, whether it is attacking, defending, or assisting cultivation.
Strange treasures are not.
However, each treasure has its own uniqueness, such as soaking it in white water for a while can turn white water into wine worms.
Or the flipping style of the book that doesn't need to be done by anyone when it's idle, and the pages become pictures on their own.
There are also bookworms who can swallow thousands of words in the world and have an empty stomach.
And most of the exotic treasures have their own spirits, for example, Da Lu can write by himself, and Ying Zhong can spit out high-quality ink, but Xu Changsheng feels that most of these inks were swallowed by Ying Zhong before.
The last time I spit it out, it was because the ink I gave was too bad, but since then, Ying Zhong has been hiding in the inkstone to sleep, and Da Lu Fu has been shouting on the edge of the inkstone for a long time and has not seen it come out.
On the contrary, Da Lu is extremely lively, basically Xu Changsheng called, and it will come out, but except for the last time in that distant mountain village, I don't know why.
Just as Xu Changsheng was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Could it be that the man is coming?
Xu Changsheng had just taken back the mustard seed from the wooden box, but the knock on the door stopped.
I got up and went to open the door, only to find that it was empty, and the short porch was empty.
When I turned around, I found a woman in Tsing Yi standing by the window, the window was wide open, obviously she had just come in from there.
The woman is a little thin, and her appearance is only a middle-aged person, her hair is simply tied up, and she is equipped with a standard long sword at her waist, and the whole person looks quite like a woman walking the rivers and lakes.
However, his expression was a little cold, and he asked, "Who are you? What about my brother? How can my brother's things be in your hands!"
As he spoke, his eyes burned with anger, and he pulled out his long sword and stabbed at Xu Changsheng.
For her, if she wants to deal with a cultivator of the Mortal Realm, it is not a matter of being able to catch a cultivator who is still refining a heavy copper skin realm, even if she is only at the bottom of the Mortal Realm, and she doesn't even have a magic weapon.
Xu Changsheng didn't panic, he already knew about the woman as soon as she came, and he also realized that this woman was just a cultivator in the early stage of metamorphosis, and the long sword in her hand was just an ordinary fine iron weapon, not even a magic weapon.
The long sword stabbed into Xu Changsheng's chest, making a sound of iron and stone, and he could no longer advance an inch.
The copper light lingered in Xu Changsheng's hand, and he held the long sword and broke it slightly.
"I didn't kill your brother, he also asked me to send the wooden box, by the way, he also gave me his mustard seeds, saying that as a reward, I haven't opened it, it's all here, if the person he said is you, I'll give it to you now." Xu Changsheng said coldly.
I came all the way around to deliver something, and I was stabbed by someone else without saying a word, so I wouldn't be happy.
The woman took the jade pendant with a dull expression, and her brother actually gave all the mustard seeds to this person, and asked him to send the wooden box...... The result was already clear, but she still couldn't believe it.
Then he squeezed the jade pendant tightly, his face turned pale, and his eyes burst into tears: "What about my brother?
Xu Changsheng also understood the woman's mood, but he was not really angry, and only after recalling it did he say: "He seemed to be seriously injured at the time, and after rushing out of a room, he handed me this wooden box and asked me to send it to this fish ancient city. ”
The woman was already in tears.
Xu Changsheng was also at a loss when he saw it, and he didn't know what to do, after all, he had never dealt with girls, and the only sister Li Ruan was also she who took care of herself.
Should I also learn from the storyteller and hand her a handkerchief?
Then give her a shoulder? Thinking of this, Xu Changsheng quickly shook his head, how could he be so frivolous.
Fortunately, the woman cried for a while and glanced at Xu Changsheng hatefully, and then looked at the long sword on the ground, but she still didn't pick it up after all, turned her head and swept out of the window again, leaving only the sound of her clothes shaking.
Xu Changsheng silently picked up the long sword on the ground, went to close the window again, and sat back on the chair.
I naturally saw that the woman and the injured man he met in Shanshui County were a pair of brothers and sisters, and the man estimated that he went to Shanshui County to pick up the wooden box, but he didn't expect to encounter someone else intercepting him halfway, so he could only let himself send this thing back.
But these have nothing to do with him anymore, his task is only to send the wooden box to this ancient fish city, and now it has been completed, as for the rest of the matter, he can't control it, and he doesn't want to care about it.
However, it is estimated that there must be a lot of stories buried in it, and he is also quite curious, but he doesn't know if he will have the ability to get out if he gets involved again. He thinks it's better to mess with this kind of unknown thing.
After all, walking the world is still the first place for your dog's life.
He is also going to rest here for a night, and will leave early tomorrow morning, and if he is delayed, he may not be able to leave the territory of Darui in winter this year.
