Chapter 12: Disappointment
In a room behind Huangquan Road, Shangguan Yi stayed here quietly waiting for the meal to start, and by the way, he reflected on what he had just done.
Fortunately, these two people are typical bosses, not good people, but they have their own pride and reserve, and they will not do something to arrest Shangguan Yi and torture them or do some obscene things because of Shangguan Yi's temptation. It's not that they are gentlemen or anything, they won't shoot at children, in the rivers and lakes, they can live a famous life and live a good life, Shangguan Yi doesn't believe that there is a good person or gentleman who can't bear to do bad things.
In the final analysis, it is still a sentence that the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
It's not that there are people who can really abide by their own principles, but it's too difficult, and this kind of person generally doesn't live long. In fact, in the final analysis, it depends on the fist.
Shangguan Yi sighed, he was still a little too risky just now, if there was no suitable reason, they wouldn't let him go easily, and there was this kind of treatment in a separate box.
It seems that the magic stick is not simple, it is not an ordinary magic stick, at least the two of them know that there is such a fortune-telling old man on the ghost street now, and he is very strong and has the ability to calculate this kind of thing. Otherwise, the woman would not have sat down in disappointment, because there was no point in pursuing it, and the clue would end here for her.
Shangguan Yi said secretly: "But I don't know Mount Tai with my own eyes, could it be that there is really that kind of means of sacrificing fortunes and watching the stars here?" Could that magic stick really be the kind of big guy who is disdainful and lives a chic and comfortable life when countless people rush to beg for fortune telling?" Shangguan Yi muttered in his heart, thinking of the chapters about these in "Strange Tricks and Tricks", he skipped it directly and didn't even look at it. He thought it was superstition, and even if it was right, it was just a coincidence. Now that I think about it, maybe he sat in the well and watched the sky, and people could really figure it out.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi's expression was a little solemn, he hadn't forgotten that the divine stick said that he had a deficiency in his body, and he needed to refine the blood of the spirit snake red flame to make up for it. If what he said is true, then he has to try it to see if he can get a little opportunity to make up for himself.
Yes, Shangguan Yi himself also felt that something was wrong with his body. It's been more than three months, and Shangguan Yi's body is naturally much stronger than when he first woke up, but according to the original physical standards, Shangguan Yi is born with divine power. He didn't know very well what the boundaries of innate divine power were, but in his memory, there were no fragile things in the various daily life items that Shangguan Yi gave to Shangguan Yi, because Shangguan Yi couldn't grasp the strength, and those things would break when he pinched them.
But now Shangguan Yi doesn't feel how strong his body is, and it can even be said that he is a weak horse, which can be seen from the hand knife that saved the king scholar. It's as if the body is dying with the death of the original owner's soul, leaving behind a new shell.
As for whether there are any other hidden dangers, Shangguan Yi doesn't know, the old man doesn't know, and even the magic stick can't be counted. Fortunately, the result of the only divine stick speculation was that there was no danger, and he could rest assured that he could go to find the spirit snake Chiyan, as for the result, he didn't know, and Shangguan Yi didn't care too much.
Things are man-made, and if everything could be solved by calculation, there would have been no fighting and killing a long time ago. When a person is born, ask the master to calculate it to know the future result, and it will be a hundred and clean.
The reason why man is the primate of all things is that he has infinite possibilities and creativity.
"Knock knock. Xiao Er knocked on the door and was allowed to come in with his meal.
A bowl of crystal clear rice, two bowls of vegetables, and a pot of tea, lunch is standard here.
"The guest officer is slow to use, and if you don't have enough, call me. Then Xiao Er went out with the tray.
Shangguan Yi looked at the two dishes and was a little stunned. You must know that when he had the idea that ignorance would lead to death, Shangguan Yi almost remembered the poisonous weeds.
If he is not mistaken, the flowers in this bowl are purple orchids, of course, the main material is normal vegetables and fried meat, is not the standard configuration? But this meat, Shangguan Yi can't see any meat, but it's not like the ones that humans often eat, Shangguan Yi has every reason to suspect that this meat is poisonous. This side dish is normal, snake kiss grass, the toxin is violent, and the taste is good. It's the first time I've heard of it for cooking, but it's not impossible to think about it.
The other bowl is a pure vegetarian dish, if you read it right, it should be the burning herbs produced in the heat, well, cold salad, with some other seasoning, it smells very fragrant.
But Shangguan Yi knows that it is powerful, burning herbs, produced in hot places, the fragrance is attractive, and it can stimulate appetite. But it is inedible, although the record is that the food is crisp and sweet, and the mouth is full of food, but it is digested in the stomach to know that it is powerful, burning the internal organs, eating too much, the internal organs and six internal organs are even roasted, and people can not die again if they die naturally.
As for tea and rice, Shangguan Yi felt that it would not be more terrifying than these two dishes.
Shangguan Yi was cowardly, but he still planned to gamble once, he was right, and he would benefit from it.
He stiffened his head, picked up the bowl, took a mouthful of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then Shangguan Yi froze, stunned for three seconds, and took a bite of rice into his mouth to buffer it. emmm, it does taste good, and there is nothing wrong with the evaluation of this snake's kiss, but is it necessary for this chef to add so much spicy? However, Shangguan Yi still has to admit that the craftsmanship is really good, the heat is suitable, and the secret seasoning is also very good, including the meat that I don't know what kind of meat it is, and it is also delicious.
Shangguan Yi took a sip of tea, well, ordinary tea, praise! I tasted the dish of burning herbs again, this dish is light, and the taste is okay, very amazing.
In this way, Shangguan Yi gobbled up the food, and of course, during the period, he also asked Xiao Er to run to the kitchen three times to add rice. The reason why it was three times was because for the third time, Xiao Er came in with a small basin, full of rice.
Shangguan Yi always felt that Xiao Er was gradually treating him as a pig, but there was no way, it was too spicy, and the food was more enjoyable.
In the end, Xiao Er took all the things, replaced them with a pot of tea, and said, "The guest officer can rest here for a while, and then leave later." Then he exited the room.
Shangguan Yi knew that this was for normal people to refine the toxins and avoid accidents, but he didn't ...... Use, how not to use, too considerate. Feeling the burning sensation in his body, Shangguan Yi hurriedly closed his eyes and exercised, it seemed that he still overestimated his resistance.
I don't know how long it took, Shangguan Yi opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and felt the strength, he finally understood what the god stick was talking about.
The food here is equivalent to medicinal food, but if you can't withstand the toxicity, you will die on the spot, and if you resist it, you will get benefits, which is still very considerable for him now.
First of all, the internal cultivation has increased somewhat, but this is actually not important, the first three layers of the "Dao Law" are heavy on quality and not quantity, and this kind of growth is also a little blue bar, which is actually of little significance to him now. The key is that his strength has increased, although it is not a qualitative change, but it has also changed a little. In fact, the significance is not how much his strength has increased, but this change is not because the medicine has the effect of forging the body, but because he feels that there is a change in the inside of his body, as if the power that is blocked by something gushes out a little.
"Later, when he suffered a catastrophe, he turned the danger into a disaster, and there was a new creation, but he was still short of ignorance. The muttering of the divine stick echoed in his ears again, and Shangguan Yi had already faintly understood the truth, the trip of the Spirit Snake Red Flame was indispensable.
It may be possible to repeat this process with similar herbs again, but unless the quality can reach the level of the Spirit Snake Red Flame, Shangguan Yi does not feel that he can completely complete the transformation. But the quality is the same as the spirit snake red flame, the difficulty is probably not as low as this method, you must know that the spirit snake is a spirit seed that can quickly cross the millennium tribulation, not everything can be compared, and it has to be a fire attribute, it is too difficult.
Shangguan Yi exhaled, there is still some time, don't be too anxious about this matter, you have to be well prepared, one blow will be hit, otherwise there will be no chance.
Then Shangguan Yi followed Xiao Er to pay the bill, Zhao Han and the woman had already left, and they didn't know where they went, Shangguan Yi was fortunate and quickly slipped away.
Out of the Huangquan Road is not lonely, Shangguan Yi looks at the sky, and can go shopping again. The strange tradition of the ghost street is that the more it closes, the easier it is to produce some treasures, of course, a considerable number of them are fakes, and when it gets dark, it is a little difficult to identify the treasures, but countless people who boast of their vicious eyes are still frantically trying to pick up the leaks. After all, as long as you succeed once, the money you earn may make back all the money you lost before, and you can even have extra food and spicy food.
Shangguan Yi and them are not all the way, he doesn't feel that he has a vicious eye, and he doesn't want to pick up the leak, no, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he feels that the money he bought is not sold, how can he pick it up so easily.
Walking and walking, Shangguan Yi saw a stall with a circle of people from a distance, and knew that this group of old fritters might have found something. Shangguan Yi walked over to join in the fun, and found that their focus was a strange piece of cloth the size of a palm that was randomly placed on the stall. Shangguan Yi condensed his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, only to confirm that this was the material of the heavenly silk, and with the faint lines, could it be a fragment of the mountain and river map? This is a bit amazing.
Mountains and rivers map is a dynasty in history, the treasure left by the Su Dynasty, it is rumored that it is actually a treasure map, there are huge secrets and countless wealth in the place where the treasure is hidden, which is left by the Su Dynasty to restore the country. The map of mountains and rivers has been tossed and turned over the years, and it has been torn apart in a certain dispute, and since then no one has been able to get the complete map of mountains and rivers, and finding the treasure seems to have become a delusion. But who wants to give up any force with enough strength and a little ambition? As long as you succeed, you can build your own empire with huge wealth, and this world is at your fingertips.
Now there is a fragment of a map of mountains and rivers placed there, not far away, without the slightest defense, tempting? Yes, but after all, no one dares to come forward and grab it and run, this is something that can only be done when you get out of the ghost street, and you have to do it, and you are fighting for money here. Who knows how many ghosts are hidden in the shadows? Maybe someone is aiming a crossbow at your head right now.
It's actually quite quiet around here, and they will also whisper to their companions, or transmit directly, for fear that too many people will know. After all, everyone knows when it comes to mountains and rivers, but Tian Silk is not necessarily, this kind of thing is also a tribute-level thing, not many people have seen it, and even fewer people know the characteristics. It's a pity that more and more people are rushing here, for any purpose.
Shangguan Yi shook his head and retreated, he was afraid. What if a fight breaks out when the bidding starts later, does he make a move or not? In fact, it makes no difference, they all have to die, the water is too deep. And he was not interested, the mountains and rivers were too hot, and he didn't dare to ask for it. It's better to go and see something else, maybe some bosses have put out private goods or something, and they will make money by blood.
Suddenly, Shangguan Yi's eyes straightened, don't get me wrong, it's not that you see a beautiful woman, but a white purple orchid!
Finally met, and after shopping all day, he finally found the white violet orchid he needed the most.
Shangguan Yi calmed down for a moment, walked to the vicinity of the stall "casually", casually pointed to a few things and asked the price, and inadvertently pointed to the white purple orchid, "What about this? ”
"White violet orchid, a thousand taels of silver. The boss smiled and said, such a profiteer.
Shangguan Yi secretly scolded: "It's too ruthless, this broken stall is basically full of garbage, just a pot of white purple orchids stands out from the crowd, no matter who comes, they are basically coming for this pot of white purple orchids, and they all have to be slaughtered!"
The chess was a bad move, Shangguan Yi lost to the profiteer, and reluctantly entered the topic, asking for the price to pay back, and began to bargain, no way, no money.
In the end, with a three-inch tongue, Shangguan Yi insisted on cutting it to four hundred taels, and the boss was unwilling to drop it anymore. In fact, this price is already very good for Bai Zilan, and the normal fair price is five hundred taels. Shangguan Yi secretly admired his eloquence and was ready to pay, he now has a total of seven hundred taels, and he will be poor all of a sudden.
But after he touched something, he paused, stretched out two fingers to the flower pot, and when he was about to touch the flower, he stopped for a few seconds, retracted it, took off the purple orchid petals in his two fingers and looked at it for a while, glared at the stunned boss, and was about to leave directly.
Yes, he took away the flowers for the lunch, Xiao Er probably thought he had eaten it, and the whole person was stupid when he was called in to add rice for the first time, and then looked at him like he was looking at a pig.
The custom here is that no matter what, you can't eat the flowers, and that thing is to see.
But isn't it going to be used now?
The white violet orchid will make the violet orchid lose its toxicity and turn white, but only the flowers will change color, and after the discoloration, the violet orchid is really useless. Therefore, the purple orchid can be used to identify the authenticity of the white purple orchid, which many people know, but the boss probably didn't expect that a child could carry the purple orchid petals so ruthlessly.
Shangguan Yi was also sighing, this boss is too dark, and I don't know how he made this kind of flower that looks like a white violet orchid, he was almost deceived, it's too dangerous.
The boss stopped him and said, "Little brother, do you still have purple orchid petals on you?" If so, I'll tell you a little secret, about the white purple orchid on the ghost street recently. ”
Shangguan Yi thought about it, took out three petals, and said, "That's all." ”
The boss was a little disappointed, but he continued, "It's okay." In fact, I won't tell you, there are no white purple orchids here recently, so you can get it if you want. Then he looked at the ground, hinting at Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi naturally understood that this meant that he had to go to Yin Ghost Street, thanked the boss, and left.
disappointed, the white purple orchid was actually sold on Yin Ghost Street, which is troublesome.
