Volume 1 Beicang's First Acquaintance with the World Chapter 23 The name of the beginning of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Fang City has a prototype
Three days later, the market opened as scheduled. In Yuanhai City, bustling ordinary people rubbed shoulders one after another. However, in the midst of this noisy city, there is also a place of tranquility. Yunlai Inn is magically closed today, a deserted inn, and the word rest is hanging high. This scene is so abrupt in the noisy street market. All the monks in the inn have gone to one place in the city today.
Somewhere on the edge of Yuanhai City, a piece of pink and white apricot blossoms bloomed brilliantly. The fragrance of flowers in the apricot forest attracts countless insects and birds, but they only fly in but do not fly out. Behind the apricot grove, there is a row of elegant bamboo huts, on the mast of the bamboo hut hangs a medical word, and on each side of the gatehouse hangs a small gourd. Today, there are a lot of people who come to seek medical advice, but the strange thing is that some people can find bamboo huts through the apricot grove, and some people are constantly wandering in the apricot grove and find their way.
Xu Chenglin was in a bamboo hut, sipping tea and enjoying the beautiful scenery outside. This row of elegant bamboo houses is a resting place arranged by Fang City for many monks. And the beautiful scenery outside the house is the blooming apricot forest. It's true that there are always risks hidden behind beauty. No one would have thought that this beautiful apricot forest was the guardian formation of Fang City.
How powerful the guardian formation of Fang City is, no one knows except the person who arranges the formation. For now, the psychedelic function of this formation is quite good. If it weren't for the passage jade slip wearing the formation, it would be extremely difficult to enter the formation. This jade slip is the token of Fang City, that is, the emerald green jade slip handed over by the city gate official before.
After resting for a while, Xu Chenglin got up and walked out of the bamboo house. Not far from the bamboo house, there is a vacant land covering several acres. And that open space is where the city is visited. The market has not yet opened, and many people have already gathered. People talked in pairs and threes, talking about different topics, some people talking about the entry of the exercises, some people talking to each other about the latest interesting things, and some talking about exchanging what they need.
After a while, a white-haired old man, surrounded by everyone, separated the crowd and walked to the center of the clearing. The white-haired old man attracted everyone's attention, and some people in the crowd were puzzled and some showed expressions that were really like this. Xu Chenglin stood on the periphery of the crowd, and was puzzled at first when he saw this scene. When he saw a familiar face in the crowd, all his doubts disappeared. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure leaned out of the crowd.
Xu Shiyuan of the Xu family, with his identity, can only be surrounded outside, thinking that the white-haired old man must be a highly respected person of the Xu family. ”
Thinking of this, Xu Chenglin couldn't help but start to carefully observe the old man in white. Although the monk had a keen sense, no one would notice Xu Chenglin in this situation. Therefore, Xu Chenglin did not shy away from it at all, and unceremoniously looked the old man in white up and down.
The old man in white had frosty white hair without a trace of variegation, and his decent clothes made him look energetic, and his slightly squinted eyes looked so kind. But if you look closely, you will find that there is occasionally a trace of cold light in the eyes. Seeing this, Xu Chenglin's heart couldn't help but tighten.
"This old man has a kind appearance but hides evil thoughts, and it seems that he is not a good person. ”
This was the thought that instantly rose in his heart after he saw the old man.
Looking at the white-haired old man, and glancing at Xu Shiyuan in the crowd, a chill rose in Xu Chenglin's heart. A very bad feeling rose in his heart, and this feeling reminded him of certain bad memories. He felt this way when the disaster happened not long ago. There are some unforgettable things that you will never forget. Xu Chenglin's feeling is that it is due to his experience and his instinct. But in any case, after seeing the two get together, Xu Chenglin felt a sense of crisis in his heart, which deepened his previous vigilance.
The white-haired old man was full of spring breeze and hugged his fist towards the crowd around him.
"Welcome all Taoist friends to come as scheduled, the market is open today, thanks to everyone to come to cheer. Contemptible Xu Sanshan, all Taoist friends are polite. ”
The white-haired old man's words were like a cannon thrown into the water, and the crowd became chaotic for a while. Just kidding, the Xu family is the head snake of this Yuanhai City, who dares to accept a gift from the head of the Xu family. The people around returned the salute to the old man one by one, and for a while, the unopened market became a school of etiquette.
The old man also laughed when he saw this scene, and stretched out his hand to stop everyone.
"Everyone gives face to the old man, and the old man is not politely ashamed. Today we are opening the market for the Fang market, so I will not exchange pleasantries with you. ”
"Master Xu, I don't know when this market will open?"
Someone in the crowd couldn't hold back their mouths and shouted.
"yes, yes, we've been waiting here for a long time. ”
Those who are anxious also follow suit.
Some people followed suit, others laughed, and for a while the crowd became lively again.
The white-haired old man reached out to suppress the commotion of everyone and smiled at the surroundings.
"Since you are so anxious, I won't say much about the old and polite words. Fang City was built in Yuanhai City, so it is simply named, and it is called Jianyuanfang City. I announce that at this moment, Jianyuanfang City was officially established, and the booths in the Fang City were free on the day of its establishment to celebrate the establishment of the Fang City. ”
The crowd was lively, and they praised the Xu family head for his benevolence and righteousness. The white-haired old man spoke, and two people walked out of the surrounding Xu family. One of them patted the storage bag, and a tall stone tablet more than three feet long appeared out of thin air in front of the bamboo hut not far away. The other jumped up with a long sword in his hand and pointed at the stone tablet. When the sword fell to the ground, I saw the debris on the stele falling, and finally the four big characters of Jianyuanfang City appeared.
"Good ......"
Although this sword technique is a mundane sword technique, it still arouses the applause of many monks.
In the cheers of everyone, the Xu family who had just gathered walked to the surroundings of the open space and faintly surrounded everyone. Seeing this scene, many monks looked at the head of the Xu family with a look of vigilance.
When the head of the Xu family saw this scene, he just laughed.
"Don't panic, how can you open a market if there are no stalls in this market? ”
As soon as the words fell, the people of the Xu family around began to take out things from the storage bag. Tabletops, tables and chairs, etc., a simple so-called prototype of the market appeared in a few moments. The clearing is surrounded by stalls, forming a simple huizi shape.
The head of the Xu family said again with his fists and spoke loudly.
"Fang City was established at the beginning, and I hope that all Taoist friends will take on more responsibilities in the humble places. It will be more prosperous here in the future!"
"Where, where, the master of the Xu family is polite. This great era of cultivation has just arrived, and it is quite rare to be able to provide us with a place of refuge for trading. It is believed that with the development of time, this place will surely prosper. ”
"Yes, yes, not only will the Fang City prosper, but the Xu family will also prosper. ”
It is never uncommon for people to smuggle their beards and horses, even among practitioners. But there is no doubt that this sentence speaks to the hearts of the Xu family.
"Haha, then borrow the auspicious words of Daoyou!"
The head of the Xu family laughed and thanked everyone with his fists.
"The market is just beginning, and there is no distinction between good and bad stalls. I also hope that all Taoist friends will consciously maintain order and do not compete for stalls. The bamboo house opposite the Fang market is specially responsible for exchanging spirit stones and concealing transactions, if necessary, please move to the bamboo house. Everyone, please take care of it, and the old decay will not bother too much. ”
After saying this, the old man hugged his fist towards everyone, and with many Xu family members, he turned around and left under the congratulations of everyone.
After the old man left, the crowd suddenly became lively again. Many monks scattered in all directions, choosing their favorite stalls. There are some disputes, but there is no conflict of interest, so it is just a quarrel. Within a few moments, the stalls were filled with goods. Although there are still a lot of vacant stalls around, there is a lot of everything that a market should have. As the goods on the stalls increased, the shouting and selling sounded.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, there are all kinds of magic weapons and exercises~"
Someone took the lead in shouting the slogan, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.
"Eh, there are a lot of elixir runes, you won't miss it if you've been here~"
Another shout rang out again, instantly drowning out the laughter of the crowd.
The two people who took the lead in shouting looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. As a result, the awkward atmosphere dissolved, and all kinds of shouts and cheers came and went for a while. There are also thin-skinned monks who do not join in the hawking, they just place their goods on the stalls, and sit in the chairs and wait for the customers to arrive.
Xu Chenglin's heart was surging, and the idea of becoming a trader also rose in his heart. He sat down at a random booth and pulled out many things from the storage bag, one by one. Some of these things were materials he had left behind in the Hundred Refining Hall, and some were magic weapons that he had practiced refining.
Over the past few months, Xu Chenglin has accumulated a lot of materials, and he has also accumulated a lot of magic weapons that he has practiced and refined, which is another reason why he was in a hurry to come out as soon as he arrived at the sixth layer of the calcined body. Although Xu Chenglin had a lot of materials in his hand, he didn't dare to sell them in Jiuhua Academy. It hadn't been long since he got started, and he took out a lot of materials at once, and even a fool knew that he had deducted it privately. It is one thing to deduct interests and do it quietly in secret, and it is another thing to be unscrupulous on the surface.
No matter how much material there is, it is not of great use to Xu Chenglin now, and the Tongtian Spirit Hurd can absorb the Five Elements material, but now it can only absorb metallic materials. As for the materials of several other properties, God knows when they will be needed. Rather than let them rot in their own hands, it is better to exchange them for real benefits. What Xu Chenglin needs most now is cultivation resources, cultivation resources that can help him quickly improve his cultivation. In the final analysis, it is still strength that determines everything, if Cheng Lin is in the Qi Condensation Stage or higher cultivation, it will not be surprising to be able to take out these materials.
Today's world is when the cultivation world is reappearing in the world, and practitioners are no longer like before, detached from the world and hidden in the deep mountains and old forests. Although it is not really integrated into the mundane, it occasionally appears in front of mortals. Xu Chenglin came to Yuanhai City to have some fun, and to ask cultivators about the nearby Fang Market. What he didn't expect was that he encountered the establishment of Fang City as soon as he came to Yuanhai City, which couldn't help but remind him of the old saying, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.
Since the day he hit the sect, Xu Chenglin has made a plan. One of the purposes of going out was to find a way to sell the materials in his hand and exchange them for the various resources needed for cultivation. Now, it's taking advantage of his heart.
