Volume 1 The Story of Asa Mountain Chapter 99 The Dream of Scarlet
Nanyang Lane.
Bright torches lit everywhere, crackling and crunching sounds, but no one noticed, and Gain's ghost market tonight was much more lively than ever.
On the eve of the martial arts meeting in the door, and the spirit stones and various allowances for the early registration awards, many monks have materials in their pockets, and they are ready to move, although the first-order magic weapons, the ordinary quality of at least one hundred first-order spirit stones, but most of them are old goods, and many of the spiritual-level monks who participate in the martial arts, the degree of pickiness about the magic weapons, is far less than the people who enter the big store to select, therefore, the ghost market that was originally very lively, tonight is even more rubbing shoulders, and the small Nanyang Lane is actually crowded.
"Keep an eye on the dots, don't let anyone mess with them. "Zheng Yiyu, the deacon of the Spiegel Division, was leaning against a mulberry tree, which was exactly at the mouth of the alley, the thickness of a millstone, and he led people to hide in the shadow of the tree, and few people would pay attention to them.
"Head, don't worry, Niu Er and Lei Zi have specially arranged for Niu Er and Lei Zi to hang a fake stall tonight, and they are all staring at it. Tomorrow there will be a martial arts primary, or you can go back early to rest, here we are. The one who spoke was a young guy, slightly younger than Zheng Yiyu, with messy hair like a bird's nest, and a few upright short braids combed horizontally and vertically, which was the most fashionable dress among young and ordinary children in recent times.
"Sangua, you go to the end of the alley to take a look, I heard that the head is back, and there can be no accident tonight. ”
"Yes, don't worry, head. The little guy named Sangua hid a short knife in his cuff, observed left and right for a while, and was about to leave, but he heard Zheng Yiyu behind him stop him again.
"Sangua, go back and get your hair around, and when you enter the Sixth Division, you have to be serious. ”
"Hehe, I know, Brother Dayu. ”
Sangua even the title of "head" is saved, he, Niu Er, and Lei Zi were all Zheng Yiyu's playmates when he was a child, but later because of the awakening of the Faxiang, he gradually became estranged, this time Zheng Yiyu was "honored" as the deacon of the Spiegel Division, and it happened that he and a few people were caught by the monks of the Six Divisions, and he and a few people were caught casually, helping in the Spiegel Division, he didn't say much, three steps and two steps, mixed into the scattered crowd.
A piece of straw marked at random, a few pieces of semi-new linen, you can set up a small stall here, everything can be sold here, from the spiritual runes used by monks, magic weapons, to the ordinary way of strengthening the body, and even ordinary martial arts, there is a market here, it is not easy for low-level monks to survive, maybe any kind of thing, can help themselves seize the slightest opportunity, therefore, every stall, there are many people who stop, one by one items to check, ponder, and then bargain in a low voice, sometimes for a piece of spirit stone, can fight for the red face.
"Isn't that thing okay just now, Xiao Fan?" an old man staggered through the line on crutches, his hair almost gone, leaving only a thin layer, gray color, barely covering the top of his head, and was discussing with the little boy who was holding him about an unsightly object just now.
"Okay, yes, that dagger is pretty sharp, but I just don't like it. ”
"What can you buy with five spirit stones, think about it, we don't have much money, and we can't continue to live in the bridge cave tonight, we have to find a place to eat and sleep well, and tomorrow there will be a preliminary martial arts competition." ”
"Go and live, I'm quite comfortable living in the bridge cave. The child called Xiaofan, only ten years old, had a little bit of freshly healed chilblains on his slightly dirty face, and after removing these, he still had a delicate face, but he was skinny and his shoulders were weak, and he looked like he was living in a difficult situation.
"No!" the old man was anxious, coughing angrily, took out the withered yellow gourd on his waist, swallowed a few mouthfuls of cold water, and then eased up, "You must stay in the hotel tonight, if you delay the ranking because of this, are you worthy of the villagers in the village?"
"But I don't even have a magic talisman, how can I win?" the boy muttered, his dark eyebrows furrowed, but he was quickly attracted by the items in another stall.
"How do you sell this?" he pointed to the stall owner's black cane, which was extremely ugly, like a farmer's burning stick, only slightly shiny, and looked sturdy.
"Little brother, what kind of eyes do you have, I picked it up and used it to support the stall. The stall owner was a middle-aged uncle, holding a straw stick and looking mocking.
"I ask you how to sell it?" the boy was a little angry.
"If you really want to buy it, two spirit stones, I can say it in advance, you don't
When I bought it, I went to the deacon to complain, saying that I was selling fakes, and this thing was not a magic weapon. ”
"One piece!" In the past few nights, the young man and the old man have been shopping here, and they have long been accustomed to the way of bargaining at half the price here.
"One piece, take it!" The middle-aged uncle was so happy that someone asked for a piece of garbage, so he threw the burning stick over and threw it on the ground with a sonorous sound.
"Xiao Fan, what are you buying this for? This is just a waste!" the old man pulled Xiao Tong by his hand, and he clearly saw that this thing was not even a serious weapon at all.
"But I really like this. Xiao Tong was a little aggrieved by what he said, tilted his head and asked, "Don't you think it's handsome to pick up?"
"Okay," the old man looked at the wet eyes of the little boy, and finally couldn't help it, "After I buy it, go back with me to see the dagger, don't keep quiet, I'll negotiate the price, and then buy a few ice charms, and then go to the hotel, I can't delay any longer." He took this opportunity to arrange the rest of the itinerary clearly.
............
The Inner Mansion of the head of the house is still the most comfortable place in Jiang Feng's opinion.
For more than two years, he has been running around outside, stealing treasures secretly, looking for business opportunities, participating in negotiations, and worrying about his body, and only by returning here, returning to this familiar place, can he find some sense of stability at home, just thinking like this, Jiang Feng gradually became a little confused, and couldn't help but doze off.
In a trance, a crimson mist gradually floated around him, and everything became farther and farther away, flying outward, Jiang Feng struck a spirit, and found himself in a place that looked like the top of a high mountain.
He couldn't feel the mountain wind in his ears, and even the touch became slightly dull, and he slowly looked around, and found that everywhere was filled with dark red mist, and his vision was no more than half a mile, and he could not know how high the mountain was, nor where it was.
Stepping lightly on the right foot, the feeling of the hard stone is real, swallowing in the throat, the saliva rolling down feels like the past, the finger bones are clenched, and the crisp sound of the joints taps on the ear. But Jiang Feng knew that it must be in a dream, he tried to tell himself that it was a dream through his subconscious, and woke up, only to find that his consciousness could no longer touch any part of his body.
"Master Jiang, don't come unharmed!"
A familiar voice came from behind him, and when Jiang Feng turned around to look, the figure disappeared, he took a step back, but the person who came was already in front of him, only ten steps away from him.
"Ni Dabao!"
The person who came finally appeared, a familiar silhouette, a familiar smile, only with him, there was also a mysterious person hidden in the gray hood, the face could not be seen at all, that person was strong, and the abdomen was fat, slightly bulging Ni Dabao was obviously different.
"Should I call you Jiang Xiaobai, or Jiang Feng?" Ni Dabao didn't hide his smile, "I said Master Jiang, I hope you can give me some guidance first." ”
"It doesn't affect our cooperation. In a few breaths, Jiang Feng had already overcome the panic at the beginning, and when he heard this, his heart calmed down even more, it was a matter of time before his false identity was exposed, he had already planned this, and the follow-up treasure theft was never whitewashed through the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, let alone continued in-depth cooperation, of course, just with Jiang Xiaobai's status as an ordinary monk, it was difficult to arouse the other party's appetite for cooperation.
"That's right, Master Jiang is a person who understands. Time is precious, let me put it simply, we, the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, intend to expand the cooperation between us to the level of fifty third-order pieces per year, how about it?"
"What conditions?" There is no free lunch in the world, this Jiang Feng knows, but judging from the other party's intention to still be willing to cooperate, the other party has not yet known that Mo Qiu Quan's death is related to him.
"We want to be a full-fledged collaboration. ”
"First, the three counties and Luochuan, the existing city size has been doubled, and the new land is all owned and controlled by the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce;"
"Second, we have the right of first refusal to purchase all items produced in the territory of the Asama Sect;"
"Third, the number of monks stationed in all the spirit cage shops is not subject to the cultivation conditions of the patriarchal system. ”
"Just three?"
"Yes, just three. ”
"I need some time to think about it. ”
"This is natural," Ni Dabao's voice was quite penetrating in the dream, "you have a month to think about it. Thirty third-order students every Chinese New Year's Eve
Meaning, it's enough to take the Asayama Sect to another level, so I hope you don't miss the opportunity. ”
"Good. Don't go into my dreams again, it's rude. ”
"Master Jiang is really funny, and I am also thousands of miles away to enter your dream and discuss with you in order not to affect your martial arts plan. Speaking of this, Ni Dabao's eyes glanced at the hooded monk beside him, who had been silent, "To show my sincerity, we can give you a gift." ”
"What gift?"
"If you agree to these conditions today, we can help you deal with the trouble of Yue Xishan. ”
"Didn't you cut off your arms, then?"
When Jiang Feng said this, his thoughts were actually tumbling in his heart, he was already convinced that Yue Xishan was a traitor, but he didn't know who he was communicating with the outside world through, but today Ni Dabao took the initiative to mention this matter, presumably the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce was very likely to be this person in the middle.
"It's just one kind of sincerity. Of course, if Master Jiang doesn't need it, we won't act recklessly. ”
"No, you don't. ”
It's a good idea to kill Yue Xishan, all kinds of evidence have clearly pointed to that Yue Xishan is a traitor, but he doesn't have enough evidence to punish him now, plus he still has a certain amount of influence on the original family, and he can't easily place charges. But in this matter, Jiang Feng was not willing to fake the hands of outsiders, maybe for a momentary pleasure, let the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce help him kill Yue Xishan, but today they can enter their dreams, maybe there is a means to leave evidence, and when the time comes, the other party will take advantage of this, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"Then wait for the good news from Master Jiang. Ni Dabao's voice dissipated, and the figure blurred and faded away, gradually disappearing into the crimson mist.
Call!
Feeling the sound of his own breathing, Jiang Feng finally regained control of his body and woke up from his dream, only to see that the clothes on his body were already soaked in cold sweat. Ni Dabao himself knows it, and his cultivation is not high, but the person in the hood is definitely a prefecture-level powerhouse, which gives him great pressure, and if he can enter his dream in a distant place, he may be able to easily kill himself in his dream, maybe if he doesn't agree with him, or if he exposes that he killed Moqiu Spring, it will make the other party suddenly change his mind.
Jiang Feng remembered that Moqiu Spring once said that it was a good choice to find someone to replace him, if he guessed correctly, the person he mentioned was Yue Xishan.
The question is, what made them give up Yue Xishan and choose themselves again. Is this incident related to the death of Murchu Springs?
............
Twenty miles away on a small hillside, from here you can vaguely see the light of Luochuan's dotted fires.
"I don't have the ability to dream thousands of miles away. The gray hood was removed, and a young fair face was revealed, and between his eyes, there was a vertical eye, and the dark eyes rolled, shedding a faint tear of blood.
"Cang, don't care about this kind of nonsense. Ni Dabao laughed, "In business, sometimes you have to do some necessary exaggeration, the more you say, the more willing others are to cooperate with you." ”
"I don't like to lie. The man known as 'Cang' said coldly.
"When you join the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce, you have to adapt to this, and only in this way can you do great things with me. Ni Dabao said, although the other party is a prefecture-level monk, but the high-level officials of the Chamber of Commerce assigned him to his own management, I don't know why. But the other party's ability made his eyes shine, and he carefully planned this dream scene tonight, which can be regarded as scaring Jiang Feng, who has been hiding his identity from him, so that he can take advantage of it as soon as possible, complete the task assigned to him by the Chamber of Commerce, and create conditions for his next promotion.
"Can I withdraw from the membership then?"
"Wrong, I was wrong. Ni Dabao hurriedly apologized, 10,000 wild horses galloped past in his heart, and he waved his right hand, as if he had made up some kind of determination, "Listen to you, tell the truth in the future." At this moment, he seemed to understand a little, why didn't the Chamber of Commerce add him to the so-called Eight Great Protectors to supplement the dead man's pit in Moqiu Spring, this buddy's personality obviously has major flaws.
Forget it, I am a Xuan-level, I can be assigned to a prefecture-level subordinate, what is there to choose, my goal is to enter the Council of Elders, before this, everything is a task, it is a test, it is all a floating cloud, he thought to himself.
