17. Chapter 17 The way of running a family is thrifty

Unpacking the outer packaging, there are not many things in the retro-style brocade box, there are only four things in total.

The largest volume, occupying most of the gift box space, is a roll of its color slightly green and yellow, with grass and trees moist bamboo slips, there is also a card manual hanging on it, on the book "Han Jian-style adventurer intelligent terminal X-3 type, the most reliable adventure assistant" such an advertising slogan.

Fiddling with the bamboo slip in his hand, feeling the feeling of the projection image on the bamboo slip belonging to the adventurer entering the retina, Wei Ye quickly read the operation manual, familiar with the operation method of this astral gate intelligent terminal. In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that it is a contact terminal, and this officially registered Astral Adventurer intelligent terminal contains multi-functional mechanical intelligence, simultaneous space and space Astral Adventurer spirit band channel dialogue, multiverse different time and space Astral Adventurer terminal networking, Astral Gate Operation Center General Point Fully Automatic Financial Management and Cross-time Express Service. In this regard, it is not surprising that some veteran adventurers have a statement that "the adventurer in the probationary period is in the extreme survival training after crossing over, but the officially registered adventurer is enjoying the portable system stream in the multiverse".

Of course, there are also adventurers who believe that being able to successfully integrate into the time and space within a year, and become the natives of the plane and time who can't see the flaws from the black hukou, is enough to eliminate those pig brothers and stupid big sisters who have unreliable wishes such as the spirit of the king after the crossing or the charm of the emperor and the crown prince to crown the six palaces, and those who have passed the test should enjoy the benefits of official adventurers.

Compared to this adventurer's core standard, the rest of the gifts are a little ordinary: a palm-sized Tang-style white copper mirror decorated with a golden black jade toad and four elephant gossip, a white silk embroidered bag decorated with a ruyi scroll lotus pattern, and a ...... Key card?

The store manager at the head of the bird's nest didn't know when he came over, he took a magnifying glass with a polished mirror and took a picture of the four gifts in the gift box, half with emotion and half envy: "Adventurer intelligent terminal, spell through Xuanjian, sleeve-style portable space, and a Soviet-style house in Yuehuashu Lane, Xiaopengying Road." Forget about other big road goods benefits, everyone has them after they are officially registered, but the price of Tongxuanjian is not low. ”

Playing with the white silk sleeve in his hand, Wei Ye smiled noncommittally at the words of the store manager of Fengyuetang. This is one of the sources of the superiority of the Astral Adventurer, and the officially registered adventurer receives this portable space item that is only slightly larger than the trunk of a vintage car, but the use of this space technology is enough to be proud of even in the so-called science fiction, mythology, magic and other time and space.

With this adventurer's personal exclusive space, it is very easy for adventurers who are active in those time and space where demons, immortals, and martial arts are low to play the role of "immortal masters" who take things out of thin air, and pull up a cult organization.

But what is the difference between such a tasteless thing and holding a lighter to fool the inhabitants of the Stone Age?

Picking up the white silk sleeve that was only the size of an ordinary person's palm, tying up the knot at the opening of the sleeve, Wei Ye stuffed the sleeve into the cuff, and the small silk bag was immediately pasted with the sleeve lining, which was exactly the same as the hidden pocket sewn in the sleeve in advance. Wei Ye—oh, he should have been called Immortal Warlock Wei Ye by now—stood up and paid the registration fee with the pitiful little Astral Gate Universal Bond that he had successfully obtained with the registration of the official adventurer, and the store manager of the Wind Moon Hall. Immediately, Wei Ye dragged his family's Sima Ling into the strategic transfer on the grounds of "going to Xiaopengying Road to see the housing allocated by the operation center".

This is not the joy of the house slave in the past who rushed back to see the house after paying off the bank loan at one time, but some things are personal privacy after all, and it is not easy to deal with them in other people's stores-

Different from the steel throne street full of metal punk style, although Xiao Pengying Road also has a unique miscellaneous feeling of space splicing, the overall architectural style is an authentic Central Plains ancient style. Whether it is a merman fabric shop half-sunk in the eyes of a spring, or an armory forge that looks like a king-size gourd with a blast furnace and chimney, or a cultural and antique shop with variegated glass pieces inlaid on the wall like a fancy red envelope, although the aura between them is more than 108,000 miles apart, they subtly coexist. Anyway, the storefronts and houses here look like that, at least much better than some of the streets that sell haunted elements of hell, abyss, demons, and other haunted houses.

It's just that the style of this street is too different from the three words "Xiao Pengying". In addition to the shops that are officially listed for business, there are also many brothers who practice stalls on this street, and they have dyed this street market with a three-point hole of heaven and earth illusion into ten percent of the fireworks. The goods put out by these adventurers range from simple ancient iron hairpins to lost secrets that are unknown to whether they are true or false, from treasure maps of unknown origin to giant eggs of unknown creatures that do not know what they can hatch. In this noisy street, you are afraid that you will not be able to tell it, and you are not afraid that others will not be able to take it.

Along the way, in just a few steps, Wei Ye and Sima Ling turned down three people of unknown origin who sold "Ring with Old Man", four suspicious salesmen who wholesaled "small bottles of self-produced spiritual liquid", and five unlicensed dealers specializing in "Portable Space Cave". It's not that a certain mustachioed immortal warlock is not moved by this treasure that sounds like a golden thigh, but from the most basic method of hope for a Taoist practitioner, the things that those people are peddling are all dim and clearly just the most inferior charms. Especially the rings carved out of variegated rock jade, which has a faint ghostly aura, obviously using the most inferior and inferior techniques to detain a few old ghosts who are scattered and unconscious, and it is not a false advertisement to say that it is "bringing his own grandfather", but the grade of this old man is inevitably too low.

Compared with the Xibei goods on these stalls, the goods in the roadside shops are much more formal, the prices are much higher, and the bosses are much more exquisite......

"Get out of here, take a piece of the carapace of a berserk giant unicorn fairy, and dare to sell it as Chongyang True Iron, which is a specialty of Shui Yutian!"

With this angry shout comparable to the roar of a lion in Buddhism, the shop of a street corner that looked simple and elegant like a studio was kicked open, and a short man with a shaved chin really "rolled" out of it, and screamed like a pig: "Surnamed Wei, don't be arrogant! Let me tell you, our friends are all Heavenly Exorcist warriors, and sooner or later we will demolish your shabby shop!"

Looking at the signboard of "Bailian Qinggang" on the corner shop, and then at the short man on the ground who was about the same size as a child, Sima Ling pulled Wei Ye's sleeve, and his face was full of fun: "Uncle, you said that the owner of this shop will not be a distant relative of our family, right?"

"There are so many people surnamed Wei in the world, how can they all be relatives of our own family?" raised his eyebrows in disgust, Wei Ye whispered, "This kind of thing has nothing to look at, we don't have to worry about it if it's small, it's big and the relevant departments of LHG are coming out, time is precious, it's important to go to see the house first." ”

After that, he didn't care about Sima Ling's protests, and dragged her to leave the place of right and wrong. Behind the scenes, the boss of the "Hundred Refining Qinggang" has already swaggered out. This young boss with a long sword in his hand, dressed in a crane and peony with a blue silk yarn bottom, wearing a small crown of red gold chisel Hague grape pattern, and a piece of purple jade embedded in it very ostentatiously.

"Yes, it's okay if this one doesn't come out," Wei Ye muttered for his fellow sect, and the pace under his feet quickened a little, "This one, with that short man, is the living 'Ximen Qingdang Street beating Wu Dalang'." It's just that there is no Pan Jinlian's file, and all this sympathy points are earned by the dwarf. ”

It seemed that he liked Wei Ye's nickname casually, Sima Ling looked back and replied in a tone like a sports commentator: "Speaking of which, this Ximenqing boss's swordsmanship is very high, and that short man's Rolling Ground Hall sword technique is not an opponent at all." ”

"So, why is the Rolling Floor Hall Knife Technique, which rolls all over the ground and spoils clothes as soon as a fight starts, so popular? I copied old books for a month in Shizhonglu, so I could earn a few buckets of rice and half a foot of cloth, if I didn't go out to catch demons, I could still make extra money, and now we are at least like the disciples of the beggars. ”

With the rightful discrimination against the martial arts of the Rolling Ground Hall, Wei Ye muttered "borrow light, borrow light" in his mouth, and squeezed through the crowd of more and more people with the attitude of the mythical Dayu chiseling open Sanmenxia, and worked hard towards the Yuehuashu Lane marked on the room card. Now he didn't want to pay attention to the onlookers behind him, let alone their fuss and shouts: "Oh!

It is easy to think of the dazzling G in the "swordsmanship skills" column on the inaugural report, Wei Ye flicked his tongue with some displeasure and raised his steps, but he pulled Sima Ling's left hand and felt the girl's body change from soft to stiff. It's not accurate to say stiff, it's a kind of subconscious movement of the body tensed by a big cat at the moment of lurking and hunting, even if Sima Ling is a real astral adventurer, but the body she obtained through the first apprenticeship time and space adventure is a complete monster body.

Her original body was Jin Jing Qingming, one of the monsters who was transformed by the essence of the five elements recorded in the Wei Shu Tu Yu of the Han Dynasty. Originally, it was just that Wei Ye, after consulting the notes of Fang Zhi and Zhi Monsters of the past dynasties, found that Jin Jingming, a rare monster, had the talent of being immune to the damage of any metal weapon, and specially selected the "safety first" development route for his oil bottle. However, thanks to the ripening method fueled by the seedlings of a certain half-bottle vinegar fairy warlock, during this year's probationary period, Sima Ling absorbed a large amount of hardware essence, and even swallowed a lot of the newly formed gold and iron demons that had been dispersed in spiritual sense, and after the initial tempering of the thunder tribulation, he had become an indefatigable human form. According to the concept of a fantasy called "Eternal Life", this kind of cultivation with the instinct of constantly ingesting hardware essence is exactly in line with the supreme truth of "eating to prove the Tao", and it is really a good seedling of natural cultivation.

The purer the hardware essence, the more it can attract Sima Ling's attention. Especially the high-quality divine weapons, for Sima Ling, these are to a large extent expensive goods forged from rare metals, just like the ginseng abalone wings in the eyes of the glutton.

For example, the short knife that was now falling towards Sima Ling's head.

The bronze knife, with the mottled and old Kui Beast Lei Jiangwen on the knife body, seems to be wiped out with a pattern of cinnabar grits mixed with blood, which makes this knife have a demonic and evil atmosphere, and it is not a good way at first glance.

Like standing under a jujube tree to catch jujubes skillfully, Sima Ling skillfully raised his left hand, and pinched his thumb and index finger accurately into the air. As light as pinching a crispy, juicy red jujube, she easily held the short knife, which weighed at least a pound, between her fingers.

Starting from her round, cute fingertips with a little baby fat, a kind of decay visible to the naked eye instantly spread along those bewitching lines. Those beasts that seemed to be alien cinnabar talismans, Lei Jiangwen, quickly disintegrated under the devouring power of this unreasonable hardware essence qi, in addition to the pure hardware and golden qi, the other existences contained in this strange short knife - the black mana that was by no means the right path, and the little glimmer of light that was bound by this mana, all flew out along those uncracking lines.

Someone in the crowd of onlookers exclaimed, "Soul Seal Weapon!"

And more priests and monks with the status of clergy have taken out the holy emblems, prayer beads, scriptures and other ritual instruments, and began to recite all kinds of excessive prayers. The release from the dissolving spell is clearly the imprisoned soul, and the extradition of the confused soul to sleep is itself the best way for the clergy to practice.

Wei Ye didn't discriminate against this kind of evil weapon, but the black mana that poured out of the evil soldier had lost the body it relied on, but it was still fierce, like a mutated octopus with many wrists and feet, trying to continue to bind the soul that wanted to escape from it. This blatant contempt for someone is the direct motivation for the bearded fairy warlock to extract bamboo slips from the "Taiping Qing Lingshu" and recite the chapters and sentences that break the evil spirit:

"Taiping is down, I am now incantating: out of the regulation of the yang, into the regulation of the yin, out of the regulation, into the regulation of the heart, the six poles and eight directions, the evil magic and the false way, self-surrender!"
