Chapter 150: The Stalls Square (Part I)
In May, the weather began to get hotter, and under the high sun, I knew how to climb the treetops and sing hard.
On a stall square in the east of Jianwu City, Shen Yun leaned listlessly on a stone chair and looked blankly at the hustle and bustle of the crowd not far away.
This stall square is very huge, and when it first arrived, it really surprised Shen Yun.
The entire stall square, the ground is paved by giant bluestone, and a set of stone tables and chairs above it are a bit similar to the Junshan Trade Venue, but its scale is at least four times the size of the Junshan venue, and thousands of stalls are placed.
The strange thing is that such a huge stall square, there are only dozens of monks, sparse stalls, and all of them are concentrated at the north end of the stall square, near a tall white marble billboard.
Under the billboard, nearly 100 people gathered, pointing at the billboard one by one, as if discussing something.
Shen Yun was very strange in his heart, since this Jianwu City, which was very expensive, was not very popular, why did the Scattered Cultivation Alliance build such a huge stall square?
Wouldn't it be more profitable to tear down some of them and convert them into shops?
Of course, it's not something you have to worry about.
Due to the popularity near the billboard, Shen Yun stayed near the signboard for several days, setting up stalls with other monks and selling sundries.
The afternoon sun makes people drowsy.
Shen Yun moved his buttocks to make himself sit more comfortably, and looked in front of him with hazy sleepy eyes.
On the stone table, there were two jade boxes, containing two spiritual plants of about ten years, half an array disk, and several five-element array talismans.
"It's unreliable to expect the Five Elements Array Talisman to earn spirit stones. Shen Yun sighed, and his eyes were slightly yearning for the noisy crowd near the billboard.
"Old Yun, how is it today?" a young voice came from the side.
"Xiao Zhou is here. Shen Yun turned around lazily and greeted a young monk dressed as a Taoist priest, then shook his head and sighed lightly, "What kind of person is there." β
When the young Taoist priest heard this, he smiled, and without saying anything, he walked to the stone table on the side, waved his sleeves, fanned off the dust that did not exist, and then took out the things for sale and placed them one by one.
This person was met when he was setting up a stall a few days ago, and he only knew his surname Zhou, what made Shen Yun unhappy was that he was obviously less than twenty and looked young, this guy actually called himself Lao Yun, and the key was that he was not surnamed Yun.
So, the counterattack was called, and it was Zhou Laodao.
But this young Taoist priest was called this, as if he was enjoying it, and Shen Yun was even more unhappy when he saw it, so he changed his name to Xiao Zhou. Seeing that the other party was clearly unhappy, he became proud, knowing that he would get revenge with one arrow.
Near the billboard, there was laughter, shouting and scolding, and it was very noisy.
And the stalls sell goods here, but it seems very clean, and there are only a few lonely people, silently wandering between the stalls.
Shen Yun retracted his gaze, looked at the goods in front of him again, and shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
I can't even look down on this bit of tattered goods, how can I expect this popularity to sell now?
After a few days, he sold a formation talisman and got four spirit stones, and he was happy at first. But later, few people cared about it, and now that someone is passing by, it can make Shen Yun excited.
"Isn't it easy to sell the array talisman?" Lao Zhou on the side fiddled with the items, sat down, and said quietly, "It's still Han Lao Mo's mix, I see that he also sold the Beast Soul Talisman in the morning." β
"Oh?"
Shen Yun turned around and looked at an ordinary-looking young man not far away, who was wearing a green shirt and sitting upright. Although it was a hot day, the other party's face was gloomy as if it was about to freeze.
The only two spectators in the entire stall area looked in front of his stall.
"I'm going to be able to make Beast Soul Talismans, and business will be better. Shen Yun exhaled and shook his head helplessly.
Zhou Xiaodao sighed lightly and nodded, thinking deeply.
The Beast Soul Talisman, although it is also called a talisman, is not refined by a talisman maker, but a ghost method. This young man, whom they called Old Demon Han, was a ghost cultivator.
A few days ago, the stalls of the three of them were very close, and they saw that the other party was selling beast soul talismans, so they asked curiously, how did they get it?
Only then did I learn that the other party was actually a ghost cultivator, good at exorcism and ghost control, and this beast soul talisman was refined by himself.
This person was obviously very cautious, kept a certain distance from the two, and although he was not cold, he was by no means enthusiastic. Even as for how to refine the beast soul talisman, the other party did not answer.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the next day, Han Laomo's booth was very far away from the two of them, obviously not wanting to talk to them any more.
Shen Yun would not be bored with himself, but Zhou Xiaodao was not angry in his heart, so he gave him a nickname and called Han Lao Mo.
Zhou Xiaodao saw Shen Yun's gaze, always looked at the sign not far away, looked quite moved, frowned slightly, and asked, "Old Yun, you don't want to go to Yinglong Basin, right?"
Shen Yun shook his head, nodded again, and did not say a word.
Zhou Xiaodao seemed to recall the bad past, glanced at his arm, looked at Shen Yun again, and persuaded him kindly: "It's okay to return to the Yinglong Basin, but try not to go to the big mine, it's too dangerous." β
Shen Yun turned around and nodded at Zhou Xiaodao, taking the other party's kindness.
Then he took a deep breath, there was a faint hint of determination in his eyes, he stood up, took out the storage bag, and made a trick with one hand, and a ray of light rolled out, and the sundries on the stone table suddenly flew in.
Turning to Zhou Xiaodao, who had a curious face, he grinned, his white teeth shining in the sun.
"Xiao Zhou, I'm in a bit of a hurry, let's go first. As he spoke, he didn't wait for Zhou Xiaodao to respond, and turned around directly.
Zhou Xiaodao nodded ignorantly, looked at Shen Yun's gradually distant back, was stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "What are you doing in such a hurry," he turned his head to look at the young man with a gloomy face, and muttered, "It won't be like Old Devil Han and dislike me, right?"
Shen Yun didn't care about what Zhou Xiaodao was thinking in his heart, and at this time, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he walked slowly on the street.
It has been more than a month since I stayed in Jianwu City, however, there is no news of the hundred-year-old Shuixia Lingten.
That's not all, what is even more annoying is the Five Elements Array Talisman, when I was in Daning Kingdom, I thought it was very easy to earn spirit stones with this, but now I know how naΓ―ve and ridiculous my thoughts were at that time.
Some time ago, I ran many shops in a row, and these shopkeepers heard that Shen Yun could refine the formation talisman, but he was very polite, and he called Shen Array Master.
They were invited to the VIP room, served the spiritual tea, and knew everything about their questions, and there was no impatience.
But when it comes to the Five Elements Array Talisman, it is usually not done, occasionally one or two will accept it, and only give two spirit stones to the low level, and the key is only two or three.
"This is a spirit stone that makes a fart!" looked depressed and scolded in annoyance, but he didn't notice that he was still walking on the street at this time, which suddenly attracted attention.
Shen Yun's face was full of embarrassment, and he hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly walked to the inn.
