Chapter 146: The sky is full of rain
Under the 10,000 steps of climbing, it is naturally crowded. Looking at so many people, I'm afraid that ninety percent of the forces in the demon cave have gathered here.
However, this is also reasonable, after all, most of the blessings on the periphery have been swept away, and there are many Taoist temples here, and there are many blessings at a glance. It's not hard to understand why everyone is here.
Here is also a sparrow, although small, all kinds of organs. All the business you need can be found here, after all, businessmen have a keen sense of smell and go wherever they can make money. Having no permanent home is a trivial matter, but the main thing is to fill your pocket.
Zhuge Chen, who has always liked to search for goods among small traders, naturally did not let go of this opportunity, and after everyone stayed and rested, he left the team and went to the street known as everything alone.
It's just such an ordinary street, and there is a story to tell. It is said that this small street called Ghost Alley was not famous in the first place, and the original vendors also did business in another place called Prosperity Street, not far from this street.
Originally, everything should have gone on so tepidly, but on a dark and windy night, this ghost alley suddenly rose violently, and a whimpering female voice came from the air. The most amazing thing is that the sky began to rain heavy coins, and each one fell into the ghost alley. It was also from that time that the vendors moved here to do business as if they had agreed to do so.
It's not greedy for money from heaven again, or it's a good omen. It is a truth that there is a God of Wealth enshrined in their houses.
After walking for a long time, Zhuge Chen fell in love with a porcelain doll. Zhuge Chen stepped forward and asked, the price was exactly a Shen Zhen coin.
The sky-high asking price seems to be the same everywhere. If it is placed outside, such a porcelain doll that is nothing strange will be dozens of Luoxia coins at most, which must be the case that the buyer really likes.
Although Zhuge is rich and rich, he doesn't spend money like this, otherwise he will become a big wrongdoer. When the time comes, it will be passed on by these vendors by word of mouth, and any one of them will have to raise the price when selling his things.
Zhuge Chen frowned, put on a look of having to cut his love because it was too expensive, and was about to leave.
The merchant took a breath, quickly pulled him and said, "Don't go, we can discuss the price again." ”
"Discuss again?" Zhuge Chen turned his head and asked, "If it's still a Shen Zhen coin, then there's nothing to discuss, because I really can't afford it." ”
The vendor pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Then how much do you want to pay?" You must know that this porcelain doll is indeed not a treasure, but it was also brought out by me who escaped death in a Taoist temple. You have to pay a fair price for my life. ”
Zhuge Chen replied expressionlessly: "Life is priceless, and since this is the case, then I can't stand it even more." ”
It can be seen that this vendor really does not want to lose every buyer, and is still trying his best to keep it: "Then you say, how much is a fair price?"
Zhuge Chen was on five fingers.
"Fifty Luoxia coins?" said the vendor with a smile, "Don't be kidding, even outside, such a beautiful porcelain doll is definitely higher than this price." ”
Since there was no negotiation, Zhuge Chen thought about leaving directly. It's just a porcelain doll, and to be honest, it's not to the point where you have to buy it.
Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly sounded: "A Shen coin, right? I bought it!"
Zhuge Chen looked at the voice and saw Tang De. The prince of Xiyou was full of smiles at this time, and reached out to throw a Shen Xuan coin on the table. Then he picked up the porcelain doll and sent it to Zhuge Chen.
"Why are you here?" Zhuge Chen asked, "It can't be that you're following me, right?"
"Brother Chen's life is so frugal, this doesn't match your sword intent!" Tang Degu said to him.
"I don't call this thrifty, I call it a housekeeper. Zhuge Chen really didn't bother to bother with him about some details, and said: "You are not called bold, if it is ugly, it is called a loser, and if it is ugly, it is called a brain disease." ”
The conversation between the two was spoken by transmission, and the vendors naturally couldn't hear it. At this time, he was also extremely happy, and anyone who sold a porcelain doll that was not worth a few dollars to the price of a sinking coin would be overjoyed.
Thinking that he couldn't take advantage of business too much, he thought about revealing the news that only those of them who had been staying here knew about it: "I know at a glance that you must have a vision, so I'll say a few more words." Every full moon night, there will be a woman whimpering in the deepest part of the ghost alley, although it is only the first time that it rains money, but those of us who do business still stubbornly think that it will still be like this. ”
Tang De, who was anxious, impatiently interrupted the vendor's unclear speech: "What do you want to say?"
"Don't worry, this son, it's about to be the main thing. The vendor continued: "At the beginning of the ghost alley, there was a fortune teller sitting there, and he rumored that he would pay money here when it was not as crowded as it is now, but unfortunately everyone didn't believe it, so they thought he was crazy. Later, after everything came true, everyone was also suspicious, and they all ran to spend a Luoxia coin to let him tell his fortune. And guess what? Without exception, all of them are right! So his business is endless, and there is no way, people eat according to their ability, and no matter how jealous we are, we can only stare dryly. ”
The dry-mouthed vendor took a sip of the tea in the cup on the table, cleared his throat and continued: "Just yesterday, he asserted that there is a great fortune hidden in the ghost alley, and the winner can win the world. As soon as this news came out, countless cultivators immediately came down from the Taoist temple. That's why you two can see today's grand scene, otherwise although there were many guests in the past, it would not be as crowded as it is today. ”
"That's the news you're going to say," Tang De asked rhetorically, "What is the use of asking you to say something that so many cultivators know?"
The vendor slapped his face and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? This sentence came from the mouth of the fortune teller, and only a few people knew it. If I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have known. “
He suddenly became mysterious, looked around and found that there was no one else, and then guessed and said in a low voice: "When the fifteenth moon is full, it will be the day of the red clothes." The sky is full of money, and the Huangquan ferry is late. What does this limerick poem of fortune teller mean? There will be more money going to be paid in the sky tonight! That's a sinking coin, and when the time comes, pick up a few more, and everyone will be able to return with a full load. ”
Zhuge Chen watched from the side for a long time, and then said: "It's quite addictive to listen to a story? Take that expensive porcelain doll, let's hurry back to eat, otherwise Sister Qi will be furious again after a while." ”
When the merchant heard this, he said aggrievedly: "I didn't say anything, and this is not a story. The heavens can see that what I said is true. ”
"Alright, you don't talk about it. Tang De also couldn't listen to it anymore: "Although the things are not very good, but the story told by your mouth, I still can't find fault." ”
With that, he followed Zhuge Chen's pace and walked towards the inn.
The two of them didn't say anything along the way, and it wasn't until they approached the inn that Tang De asked, "Brother Chen, is what the vendor said all false?"
Zhuge Chen shook his head and said: "It's really hard to judge just by his words. ”
"Then why don't we really join in the fun tonight?"
Zhuge Chen turned his head to look at Tang De's eyes and said, "Of course you have to go, otherwise this long night will be boring." If we don't go, why don't we sit down and drink again?"
Tang De said: "It's not impossible. ”
Zhuge Chen sighed, and really admired this prince of Xiyou, who didn't remember to eat: "Aren't you afraid that Sister Qi will stage another show to ask the guilt?" You are not afraid, but I am afraid." ”
"That's right. Tang De's chicken nodded like a peck of rice and said, "Then let's go to that ghost alley tonight to see if there is any earth-shattering fortune!"
......
At the beginning of the ghost alley, an elderly fortune teller sat there, his eyes narrowed into a slit. If you don't look closely, you think he's asleep.
On weekdays, his business should be excellent, after all, he has already made a name for himself. But today he hung a piece of snow-white rice paper, with five big characters written on the paper from top to bottom, and he will not accept customers today.
Although there is ambiguity in it, the crowd does not think deeply. Since the old Taoist priest does not count his fortune today, then just wait for tomorrow. Anyway, in the matter of calculating fortune, it is not very useful to be in a hurry for a while.
A slight voice sounded in the ears of the old Taoist, and he whispered, "Has the news been spread?"
"Rest assured, everything is in place. The voice replied respectfully, "I just don't know how many people can come, and if it is too little, the blood food used as a sacrifice may not be enough." ”
"They're definitely coming. The old Taoist priest affirmed: "People's greed is infinite, not to mention these cultivators who are fighting for their lives day and night and in the future? ”
"Master, you are a good master!"
The old Taoist priest didn't even raise his eyelids: "If there is nothing to do, you can go down, hurry up and arrange everything foolproof, there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes!" the voice vanished.
The old Taoist priest opened his cloudy eyes and looked into the depths of the ghost alley. Even after countless years, the regret in his heart still cannot be dissipated, and even better than before. It's a pity that these will disappear tonight, but it's a pity that such a cultivator who comes for profit can't escape a dead word.
......
That night, Zhuge Chen and Tang De casually found a reason to go out side by side.
They tacitly didn't want Sister Qi to follow, just her stubborn temper and the rules and regulations she had cultivated over the years, annoying people could also annoy them.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the ghost alley.
Even if the two of them came out very early, it was already overcrowded.
Zhuge Chen took Tang De through the crowd and walked step by step towards the depths of the alley. Until the moon rises, it is still the first place. Not to mention the money in the sky, even the dense dark clouds have blocked the moon.
Zhuge Chen was disappointed and said, "Let's go." ”
So saying, he went against the flow of people and walked out.
But at this moment, Tang De suddenly grabbed him and said excitedly: "Brother Chen, look!"
Zhuge Chen looked up, the sky was cloudless, and the full moon pressure was extremely low, as if he could touch it with his hand.
After the wind passed, everything was calm again. Before Zhuge Chen could speak, the entire ghost alley began to rain money.
Zhuge Chen casually caught one and looked at it, it was really the sinking coin!
