CHAPTER XXIX
Qingyang City, one of the thirteen counties of Xiaoqingzhou, is located in the southwest border of the mainland, one of the fortresses in and out of the Daqingshan Mountains, with a population of nearly two million.
Lin Jiushan withdrew his body near the city gate, breathed a little, and walked slowly towards the city.
After entering the city, he thought as he walked: "I still have something to do when I come to Qingyang City this time, so I won't go to Qin Rixu first, otherwise I will be stopped by that fat man, and I will eat and drink again, and I won't be able to do anything." ”
Thinking like this, Lin Jiushan slowly walked in front of a magnificent sculpture. This sculpture is more than ten meters high, and the carving is a fat middle-aged man, I saw that he was wearing heavy armor, holding a huge golden gourd round hammer in both hands, raising the hammer to ask the sky, his eyes were wide, and he was staring angrily in the direction of the city gate. Next to the sculpture stands a stone tablet with a brief introduction engraved on it:
"Qin Tai, born in Qingyang County, Xiaoqingzhou, is a generation of powerful people. In the past, there was a sudden beast tide of demon beasts in Daqingshan, and the southwestern counties fell one after another. The tide of demon beasts attacked Qingyang City, the warriors of the whole city were unstoppable, the west gate was broken, and the people were in danger. At this time, Qin Tai descended from the sky, and one person stood here with two hammers, blocking the tide of demon beasts and not going any further. After that, the fight to the death did not retreat, and the leader of the beast tide died together, and the beast tide finally retreated. Qin Tai solves the danger of Qingyang with the strength of one person, and is the hero of the world! I would like to set up this monument for the people of Qingyang to praise from generation to generation. ”
Although Lin Jiushan has been to Qingyang City many times, every time he sees this sculpture, he can't help but sigh. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement, and said: "A martial artist deserves to be like this, cultivate the earth-shattering martial arts, and protect tens of thousands of mansions!"
"Hahahaha, Brother Tai is really a heroic man. Since you are a member of your generation, why don't you come up and have a drink together?" At this time, a clear voice came from above Lin Jiushan.
Lin Jiushan looked up and saw that on the second floor of a teahouse near the sculpture, a young man wearing a cloth crown and dressed as a scholar was shaking a paper fan and talking to him.
Lin Jiushan smiled and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Waiting for Lin Jiushan to sit down by the window, the scholar first made a cup of tea for Lin Jiushan, no more, no less, just seven points full.
I saw that the scholar smiled slightly, and said: "Good tea comes out from the high mountains and clouds, this Qingyang County is next to Daqing Mountain, but there is really a lot of good tea." This Lingxian Tuo tea has a dark color, a clear soup color, a fragrant fragrance, and a mellow and sweet taste. After brewing, the color, aroma and taste are good, and it can last for a long time, which is really intriguing. Brother, you might as well have a taste!"
Lin Jiushan smelled the fragrance coming to his nose, and he was also mouthful, grabbed the teacup and drank it all. But it's no wonder that Lin Jiushan is vulgar, he has been practicing hard in the green mountains since he was a child, and he usually drinks tea just to quench his thirst, when has he ever done such an elegant thing as tea tasting.
The scholar saw that Lin Jiushan swallowed the spiritual tea in one gulp, and he didn't taste it carefully, he gently tapped his forehead with a fan, and said secretly that it was a pity to have this cup of spiritual liquid, and said: "Brother Tai is really... Bold and unconstrained. Hehehehe, I just watched my brother Yu Xuan Ang upstairs, full of pride, but I don't know what to call it?"
Lin Jiushan only felt that this scholar was gentle and elegant, so he didn't take precautions, and said: "In Xia Lin Jiushan, it is this Qingyang County person. I just talked nonsense and disturbed my brother's purity. I don't know what to call a brother?"
The scholar shook his fan and said, "In Xia Yi Zixu, he only likes to travel around the mountains and rivers on weekdays, travel the world, and record some major events and legends in the world. Hahahaha, I'm ashamed to say that I can't do anything for my brother, I just like to watch the excitement. ”
This Yi Zixu saw that Lin Jiushan was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he should be a few years younger than himself, so he called himself "brother".
This Yi Zixu is well-informed, and after chatting with him for a while, Lin Jiushan feels that he has benefited a lot, and has a lot of understanding of the affairs of the mainland and some legendary figures in recent years, and he can't help but admire Yi Zixu's state of mind of traveling the world and living happily.
"Hehe, Brother Jiushan, for my brother, you have cultivated to be extraordinary at a young age, and your qi is profound. I hope that one day, I will be able to write you into my book. Yi Zixu shook the paper fan lightly and said with a smile.
When Lin Jiushan heard this, he arched his fist and said firmly: "Thanks to Brother Yi's attention, the younger brother will definitely work hard to leave a little name." ”
The more the two chatted, the more they felt speculative, and Lin Jiushan knew that this Yi Zixu was as good as his life, and he traveled to the north and south everywhere, not to mention anything else, this famous tea produced in the local area must be enjoyable. Today, this Lingxian Tuo tea is not ordinary, it is produced in the depths of the Great Green Mountain, because there are many monsters in the deep mountains and great realms, so it can't produce much in a year.
During the small talk, more than an hour passed quickly, and Lin Jiushan wanted to say goodbye because he had something to do.
Yi Zixu heard Lin Jiushan's words and said: "I met the Jiushan brothers today, and I fell in love, and I will definitely meet again in the future." Speaking of this, he shouted downstairs: "Little Er, account!"
"Come on! Thank you for your patronage, one or two Lingxian Tuo tea, four tea products, a total of fifty-two taels of silver, and you will be charged fifty taels of silver. ”
When Lin Jiushan heard this, he was secretly surprised, this Lingxian Tuo tea was really expensive. The annual salary of a small worker on the mainland is about ten taels of silver, which is enough for a family of three or four people to support for a year. These forty or fifty taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for four or five years. However, Lin Jiushan didn't care, since he entered the acquired realm, he could hunt some acquired demon beasts and take out the inner pill in exchange for spirit stones. Although there are not many spirit stones exchanged, if they are exchanged for silver, there will be more.
However, Lin Jiushan waited for a long time, but he didn't see Yi Zixu pay the bill.
At this time, I saw Yi Zixu blushing slightly, and said: "Brother Jiushan, my brother went out unlucky today, was robbed, and all his money was stolen by a woman in black. Before I could react, the woman turned into a shadow and fled without a trace. Brother, look... ”
"Huh!?" Lin Jiushan opened his mouth wide.
Originally, these dozens of taels of silver were trivial matters for a late-stage realm master like Lin Jiushan. However, in Lin Jiushan's storage bag, there are a lot of spirit stones now, and there is really no silver. He spent his days in the mountains doing penance, and he didn't need any money. Every time I come to Qingyang City, Qin Rixu is also entertained before and after, so the silver thing is simply forgotten to be stored. When he entered the city this time, he first planned to take out some spirit stones and exchange them for silver taels, and then go to buy a mansion.
So, Lin Jiushan and Yi Zixu stared at each other with big eyes and looked at each other awkwardly.
In other words, this Yi Zixu was indeed careless in the morning, and was stolen by a woman in black. However, he was fond of tea and couldn't resist the temptation, thinking that the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, and he walked into the teahouse.
When he heard Lin Jiushan's passionate words upstairs, he felt that Lin Jiushan was indeed heroic and extraordinary, and he had the heart to make friends, and the second was to watch him as a martial artist, and his qi was vigorous, so he must be no worse than silver. So when I opened my mouth to invite, I was also a little cautious. After all, there are a bit of cultivated martial artists on the mainland, even if the spirit stone can't be obtained, it is still not difficult to obtain yellow and white things.
However, he didn't expect that Lin Jiushan was basically a savage, and he didn't need money on weekdays, and since the original more than 1,000 taels of silver in the storage bag were spent, he hadn't prepared at all!
The teahouse Xiao Er saw the two of them looking at each other, and they didn't move for a long time, and they didn't know why. He darkened his face and said: "Two guest officers, if you drink ordinary tea, it's okay to say, even if this Xianling Tuo tea is our owner who has been running a teahouse for generations and has a wide network of contacts, he only gets one or two catties a year." If you can't pay for the tea today, don't even think about getting out of Qingyang City!"
Lin Jiushan smiled slightly bitterly, he was not afraid of the threat of the shop's junior two, but he really couldn't do it when it came to drinking overlord tea.
In distress, Lin Jiushan caught a glimpse of two figures downstairs, a man and a woman, walking quickly. With joy in his heart, he shouted: "Brother Xiao, Yilan, please stay!"
These two figures are the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family who have just been separated and come to Qingyang City to rest!
When the Xiao family brothers and sisters went to the teahouse, Lin Jiushan explained the difficulties. I saw Xiao Yilan blocking the small mouth with her hand, and laughed stupidly.
Xiao Yicai laughed and said, "Brother Jiushan, what should I do, isn't it just a few dozen taels of silver." With that, he paid for the tea.
Yi Zixu only felt that his face was dull, ashamed, and he didn't stay long, and said, "Brother Lin, let's stop today." I got good tea for my brother in the future, so I should treat my brother well. "After that, I have to take my leave.
Lin Jiushan grabbed Yi Zixu and asked Xiao Yicai for another few dozen taels of silver to feed Yi Zixu for food and shelter. Yi Zixu was not verbose, he accepted the silver taels, and felt that he had fallen into bad luck today, lost face, and walked away with a wry smile.
Lin Jiushan saw Yi Zixu go downstairs and walked away, and felt that this person was quite interesting, so he laughed.
"Hahahaha, Brother Jiushan, I don't know if you have something important to do when you come to Qingyang City?
Lin Jiushan thought for a moment and said, "I do have something to trouble Brother Xiao." I came to Qingyang City this time to exchange the spirit stone for some silver taels and buy a house in the city. Just don't know where to get it?" "Lin Jiushan is not a person from the market, of course he doesn't know where to exchange spirit stones for silver taels.
To say that the martial artists of the Haotian Continent would not exchange spirit stones for yellow and white things under normal circumstances, plus all forces in the mainland have strict control over this, the exchange between spirit stones and ordinary property is strictly forbidden.
This is nothing more than some economic way, because if the exchange between spirit stones and gold and silver is released, some scheming forces can use a small amount of spirit stones in exchange for a large amount of gold and silver. In the long run, it will lead to a shortage of private currency. The spirit stone is useless to the people, and the final result is that the turnover of goods and coins is blocked, the economy collapses, and the people are struggling to make a living. Therefore, the exchange of spirit stones and silver and gold was secretly carried out on the black market, and Lin Jiushan naturally did not know the way.
Xiao Yicai laughed when he heard this, and said: "Brother is a master, so naturally he doesn't know these pickled things. If you believe in being a brother, leave it to me. ”
Of course, Lin Jiushan believed that Xiao Yicai was a person, and was about to take out the spirit stone, when he heard a shout outside the window: "Catch her, catch that thief!
Lin Jiushan looked out the window, a middle-aged man dressed as a rich man was standing in front of the statue of Qin Tai jumping and shouting, and a woman in black in front of her was wrapped in a black scarf, galloping quickly, and was about to escape from the city gate.
Lin Jiushan said to the Xiao family brothers and sisters to come when they went, so they jumped out of the window and jumped downstairs. Unfolded the Flying Shadow Body Technique, turned into an afterimage and chased after him.
