Chapter 25: Little Immortal Town
Qianxue gave a salute and said, "Yes, I don't know why this place is so lively, and I ask my seniors to give me advice." ”
The old man stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Little friend doesn't know, ten years ago, the Zhao family found an ancient sword from somewhere, placed it on the sword test pool, and threatened that as long as someone can take the ancient sword out of the scabbard, he will give the ancient sword away, and also give a hundred lower grade spirit stones." ”
Qianxue asked, "What is this Zhao family?"
"Could it be that Xiaoyou is going down the mountain for the first time?" said the old man.
"Yes. ”
"I see, Lao Tao will give you an explanation, lest you lose your life. The Zhao family's forces are all over the country, with hundreds of foundation building period monks under its banner, and even two Yudan stage monks sitting in the town, they are one of the three major family forces in the immortal cultivation world, if you encounter them in the future, don't clash with them. ”
"Well, why are they doing this weird thing?"
The old man said: "Hmph! First, in order to show their ability, how many people in the world can take out the secret treasure as a bet? Second, it is naturally driven by interests. ”
"What's in it here?" asked Qianxue.
The old man said: "Anyone who goes up to try the sword must first pay five lower grade spirit stones, and at least dozens of people go to try the sword every day, do you say that this is a big benefit?"
Qian Xue secretly said to herself, the monthly profit of the monks in the foundation building period of the True One Sect was not more than two medium-grade spirit stones, and it was not worth the daily income of other people here, no wonder it could develop so powerfully.
The old man said a few shabby words to her, exchanged names, and then said goodbye, and she knew that the old man's surname was Xu.
Looking at the disappearing figure of the old man, she was wondering if she should also go to the sword test pool to see the excitement, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from below: "How long are you going to be in a daze?" But it was Senior Sister Shu Yun, who had jumped off the green bamboo and was heading towards Xiaoxian Town.
Qian Xue hurriedly followed behind her senior sister, and said as she walked: "Senior sister, I thought you were ......" only half a sentence, and when she saw her sister turn her head to look at her, she was busy and silent.
"What do you think I'm going to do? You think I'm not going to enter Xiaoxian Town, are you?" Shu Yun said.
"No, I thought Senior Sister wouldn't be interested in the Sword Trial Pool. Qianxue hurriedly changed her words.
Shu Yun snorted, ignored Qianxue, stopped as soon as he entered the city gate, raised his eyes and looked a few times, and walked in one direction. Qianxue followed, and about a quarter of an hour later, stopped at the door of a restaurant.
Qian Xueqi said: "Senior sister, what are we going to do in the restaurant?"
Shu Yun said with a smile: "It's rare to go to the mountain next time, how can you not taste the world's famous wine, but I don't know if the taste is still the same as before." As he spoke, he chose a table by the window on the first floor of the restaurant, and asked the shopkeeper to bring up all the famous wines in the town.
Qianxue was amazed to see her senior sister tasting the wine in a fascination, didn't the senior sister always say that the cultivation of the Tao is important to "forget"? Why do you not give up on wine now? She only felt that she had caught the handle of the senior sister, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you have never forgotten the wine, how can you say it?"
Shu Yun glanced at Qianxue and said, "Thinking of emptiness is not empty, can you understand?"
Qianxue couldn't figure it out, and thought that the senior sister would explain, but she didn't expect the senior sister to stop explaining this time, so that she could understand it herself. She had no choice but to look around boredly.
Shu Yun saw that she was restless, and said, "Why don't you taste it?" ”
"I can't taste it. "Qianxue Road, the strings are really amazing, and even the taste has been absorbed completely.
Shu Yun frowned and said, "Coward, with Senior Sister here, what are you worried about?" "Let's just drive Qianxue out of the restaurant.
This is exactly what Qianxue wants, she has long wanted to visit Xiaoxian Town.
Xiaoxian Town said that it was not big, but it was not small. Fortunately, there are road signs everywhere, and Chiyuki was able to find a market dedicated to trading among monks. Perhaps thanks to the reputation of the Sword Trial Pool, this market is extremely lively and crowded with pedestrians.
Qianxue looked over one by one, and looked at more than a dozen of them before she found a stall that sold formation drawings. The stall owner was dressed in a snow-white dress and wore a fence on her head, but she was a woman.
Qian Xue was picking and choosing in front of the stall, full of low-level formation drawings, and couldn't help but be disappointed, and asked, "Do you have some novel formation drawings?"
The woman had lowered her head to tidy up the stall, and when she asked, she looked up at her, but she was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "It's you! You're also here to catch me, aren't you?"
Qian Xueqi said: "Do you recognize me?"
The woman took off the fence and cried, "Why do you pretend to be garlic? The sect knows my ability, so I asked you to arrest me, but I was really killed to death." As he spoke, he felt that he was no longer fortunate, and he cried so much that the pear blossoms were raining and crackling.
Qianxue also recognized this woman, it turned out to be the strange woman she met on the night of the attack on the Shinichi Sect, and she still cried the same and said strange things the same. She hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, fellow Daoist, I'm really not here to catch you." ”
The woman's crying gradually stopped, and she barely pulled out a smile and said, "I'm sorry, oh, what do you need?"
Qianxue said: "Do you have any novel formation blueprints?"
"Don't be funny, Daoist friends, who will take out the strange formation drawings and sell them?"
Qianxue didn't understand, but she didn't suffer a loss by asking anyway, so she smiled and said, "That's right, then do you know where there are novel formations, I want to go and observe them." ”
The woman knew that Qianxue didn't really come to buy things, so she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said angrily: "If you want to observe the novel formation, why don't you go to the Southern Wilderness, where it is said that there is a dry well, and there is a mysterious array running under the well all the year round, and no one has been able to break it so far." ”
Qianxue was overjoyed and asked, "Do you have a map of the dry well?"
The woman said curiously: "Are you really going?" Seeing Qianxue nodding, she said: "What map do you need again, everyone knows when you ask there." It's just that I advise you not to go, I don't know how many dry bones of array mages are buried there. ”
Qianxue said: "I will be careful." ”
She chatted with the stall owner for a long time, but she didn't buy a single thing, but she heard a lot of news, and she couldn't go away, but she really couldn't look at the drawings of the stall. Raising his eyes, he saw the power fence in the woman's hand, as thin as a cicada's wings, and he liked it in his heart, so he said: "Fellow Daoist, can you sell the power fence in your hand?"
The woman knew her plan, and she was not pretentious, and said: "If you need it, I still have one that I haven't worn yet, as for how many spirit stones, you can just look at it and give it." As he spoke, he took out an identical fence from the storage bag.
After the goods and silver were paid, Qianxue no longer delayed, put on the power fence casually, and returned to the restaurant the same way, without mentioning it.
said that Shu Yun was drinking alone, and a middle-aged man came, and said with a smile: "Girl's temperament is rare in her life, I don't know if I can drink a few glasses with Xia?"
Shu Yun smiled: "Please take a seat." ”
The two of them each had a few glasses of wine, and the middle-aged man sighed: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud." Below is the amorous guest, I don't know what to call the girl?"
Shu Yun said: "Under Qingzhu." ”
The amorous guest stood up and arched his hand: "Since your friend is back, it is inconvenient to disturb you here, so I will take my leave." ”
When Qianxue came back, she only saw a middle-aged man holding a long sword and saying goodbye to her senior sister, and she couldn't help but wonder secretly.
