Chapter 55: The Three-Legged Ancient Ding
Xuan Lang's business was very bad today, but he didn't care, he just held an ancient book and read it with relish, until a figure came to his stall.
"This Taoist friend has been invited! But what do you like? If you like it, you can test one or two, I am a well-known honest person in Lingchuanfang City, and I will definitely not do that shoddy and fake thing!" Xuan Lang looked at the monk in front of him between words, only to see that he was pale, medium in stature, wearing a slightly wide black robe, strange is a pair of eyes that do not look at his own belongings but stared at himself, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, Xuan Lang asked suspiciously: "What? Is there anything on the lower face?"
"Oh! no, I just think it's familiar......
This person is naturally Xiao Mian, who recognized Xuan Lang at a glance, and remembered the last interaction and involuntarily walked over.
"Oh! As the saying goes, all brothers are brothers in the four seas, since Daoyou feel familiar with the next eye, then there is fate, if there is something agreeable, it is cheaper to sell it to Daoyou, and also help open a piece in the next one, isn't it?" What kind of rags is this? Although casual cultivation will not be wasted, it will not be used as treasures, right?"
"Senior, don't you look at this Dao brother's cultivation, do you still expect him to hunt demon beasts above the fourth order? Then we are not here to buy demon beast bones, it is estimated that we will have to help him collect the corpse!"
“...... , that's what I'm saying!"
It's rare, the ghost who has always liked to drink Xiao Mian didn't say much, obviously facts speak louder than words: with Xuanlang's cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, there is really no capital worth looking forward to. Since there was nothing to gain, Xiao Mian planned to leave early, but at this moment, the ghost head passed a soul thought of postponing his departure. Under the guidance of the ghost head's soul thoughts, Xiao Mian seemed to pick up an artifact on the stall casually.
It was an ancient tripod, with big feet and two ears, a big belly and a small mouth, and a small tripod lid on the mouth.
The fly in the ointment is that this ancient tripod is covered with cracks all over its body, as if it can be broken with a little force.
"I have shallow knowledge in the next, and I haven't consulted my predecessors, what is the origin of this thing?"
Xuan Lang, a monk in the foundation building period, could call him a fellow Daoist, but Xiao Mian, who was a monk in the Qi cultivation period, had to call the other party's predecessor - this was the rule of the cultivation world.
"This thing, but this thing is not mine! It was sold by a senior due to his physical inconvenience, if a Taoist friend takes a fancy to it, I will take the Taoist friend to the residence of the senior, and let you talk in detail in person, how about it?" Seeing Xiao Mian holding the ancient tripod in his hand and nodded, Xuan Lang was also refreshed, and quickly put away the stall, and then took Xiao Mian out of the stall area and walked towards the scattered cultivation residence further west.
Lingchuanfang City is rich in the east and poor in the west, and it is obvious that the situation of the senior who consigned Gu Ding is not very good.
Along the way, Xuan Lang only cared about hurrying with his head bored, while Xiao Mian was busy communicating with ghosts and souls, but he was safe and sound, and he didn't say anything all the way.
"Senior, although this Gu Ding looks like an antiquity, it is too broken! I'm really afraid that I will crush it if I am not careful!"
"Don't worry! It can't be broken! This tripod is indeed some years old, and it is conservatively estimated to be around 5,000 years, as for the crack on the top, it was caused by someone blowing up the furnace, and it was caused from the inside, not that you can crush it as a minor cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi cultivation. This Gu Ding is actually unusable, the reason why I like it is because its materials are really rare, even in my time was also rare, if I can find a way to refine it, it can be regarded as a big bargain!"
"I see!, but can this broken Gu Ding be refined?"
"I don't know if it's okay, but there's always a possibility that this isn't it? If the other party's asking price is not too outrageous, buy it, so that I can find something to do while you are cultivating." ”
"Uh-huh, I see......"
The old man and the young here discussed it properly, and Xuan Lang also slowed down his pace.
At first, Xiao Mian thought that he had arrived at the residence of the owner of the ancient ding, but the crying and noise he heard next made Xiao Mian frown, and seeing that Xuan Lang suddenly quickened his pace and rushed to the place of dispute, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly and followed.
This time he came to Lingchuanfang City, Xiao Mian only wanted to purchase the demon beast bones needed for body refining, but he didn't want to make extraneous branches.
But after a while, Xiao Mian saw many visitors on the periphery of a small courtyard in front of him, pointing and pointing, and some even whispering, but no one dared to enter the small courtyard.
"Wei Laohei, why are you harassing Uncle Ye again?"
With a loud roar, Xuan Lang had already broken into the small courtyard, but he only had a breath before he flew back away, but he was caught off guard by the people who heard the movement in the small courtyard.
Xiao Mian couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it was reasonable to take the lead in taking the lead, but obviously Wei Laohei was not an ordinary person, judging from Xuan Lang's slightly embarrassed figure, the other party's strength was probably higher than Xuan Lang.
Sure enough, after a wild laugh, a short man with a short body and a dark complexion appeared at the gate of the courtyard, sneering at Xuan Lang with disdain.
"Just you, you also want to be a hero to save the United States?"
"Wei Laohei, you don't bully others! When Uncle Ye set up a stall in the stall area, he paid you the fee on time, and he didn't owe you anything. What are you coming to the door three times and twice now? Everyone is in the same lineage, even if they can't watch and help each other, at least they can't squeeze each other like this, right?"
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know: he has a lot of things to sell on your consignment! Although you paid your own tariffs, those tariffs don't include the bad old man surnamed Ye. Since he asked you to sell his stuff on your behalf, you have to give money!"
When the two of them were arguing with each other, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl at the gate of the courtyard walked out with an old man with gray hair.
"Ahem! Wei Laohei, you just held a grudge against me for refusing to make alchemy for you back then, and now I came to the door while I was about to die, is what the old man said right?" The old man thought that it was the old man surnamed Ye in Xuan Lang's mouth, that is, the master of Gu Ding, and I saw that his face was gray, and it was indeed a sign that the end was approaching. That Wei Laohei was also a bachelor, and after being poked by the old man, he calmly admitted: "Yes! Lao Tzu just holds a grudge, what's the matter? Lao Tzu not only holds a grudge, but also has a crush on your granddaughter, what's the matter?"
"Despicable!Wei Laohei, you ...... You ......"
The girl thought that she was the granddaughter of the old man, and she was molested in public by Wei Laohei, and she couldn't help but blush, ashamed and hateful.
Xuan Lang wanted to go up and talk to Wei Laohei, but suddenly felt that he was being pulled by, and then saw Xiao Mian pass him and walk forward.
Xuan Lang was stunned: This person is only an eighth-level cultivator, and he is not even Wei Laohei's opponent, how can he be the opponent of Wei Laohei, who is cultivating in the middle of foundation building?
