Chapter 21 The world is like frost
Through the door, I saw Zhao Wan'er talking to the shopkeeper, she looked anxious, and the shopkeeper took some objects and looked at them carefully, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zong Xiu was far away, she couldn't hear what they were talking about, and she was a little strange in her heart, Zhao Wan'er didn't say that she was going back to the sect to do business, how could she be in the shops in Fang Market?
Zhao Lingxuan was just about to enter the door to ask clearly, but Zong Xiu pulled him to hide at a corner of the street, Zhao Lingxuan shouted, "What are you doing?"
Zong Xiu's expression was not very good, he vaguely guessed something, but he was not sure. Zong Xiu signaled Zhao Lingxuan not to make a sound, and not long after seeing Zhao Wan'er leave the shop, Zong Xiu hurriedly walked towards the shop, Zhao Lingxuan was full of doubts and followed behind.
When the two of them entered, the shopkeeper had not yet put away his things, and there was a small turquoise stove on the table, a few small bottles, and some incense.
Zong Xiu pretended to be very interested, pointed to the items on the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is this, it needs to be put out?"
The shopkeeper was about forty or fifty years old, a little rich, but his face looked very kind, and he said, "This little brother, I see that you have not yet succeeded in opening your mind, and you are preparing to enter the mountain gate this time, right?"
"Yes, the shopkeeper saw it accurately. ”
The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "Then these things are not suitable for you." ”
"Why?"
"This is the small pill and condensing incense used to break through the bottleneck in the early stage of the Qi Channeling Realm, the little brother has not started to practice, so naturally he doesn't need these, I have the solid qi pill that stabilizes the realm after opening the body, and the little brother can buy some. ”
Zong Xiu was puzzled: "In this way, before I entered the shop, I saw someone selling shopkeepers, and after discussing with the shopkeeper for so long, I thought it was a good thing, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be just an elixir for a breakthrough in the early stage of qi induction." But I heard from the elders in the family that cultivation is the most lacking elixir, so how could anyone come to sell the elixir? Could it be that the elders in the family said it wrong? It's really strange!"
"Little brother, don't be surprised, except for some disciples who specialize in cultivating pills, there are indeed very few people who can sell pills. But...... Hey, that's a frustration. To tell you the truth, these pills were just bought from me by an outer disciple of the Five Elements Sect a few days ago, but today she not only sold all the pills she had just bought—of course, the price must be slightly lower than the one we sold her—but she also sold me a spiritual incense burner and incense. ”
Zhao Lingxuan on the side interjected: "Why is this? The pill I just bought was sold back at a low price, how could anyone do this? Isn't it clear that you are at a loss?"
The shopkeeper still had that kind smile, but his tone was a little sentimental, and he said slowly: "What this girl said is true, but how can things be as good as they should be? For example, that disciple of the Five Elements Sect is now a third-level cultivator in the Qi Attraction Realm, and he bought those pills in preparation for breaking through to the middle stage of the Qi Attracting Realm. But the world is unpredictable, coinciding with a great change in her family, not only to sell back the pills, but also to sell her treasured spiritual incense burner. said that it was to make up the entrance fee for her younger siblings, but in this way, her own practice was delayed, hey......"
The shopkeeper sighed, and then continued: "Everyone in the world envies immortal cultivators, but they don't understand that no matter where they are, there are always a few people standing on the high ground, and most of them still have to struggle at the bottom. I've been in Longjiang Market Town for decades, and I've long been used to seeing these things, for a few spirit stones, some are struggling, some are cannibalistic, and there are even female cultivators who sell their bodies......"
Perhaps sensing that Zhao Lingxuan's face was not good, the shopkeeper stopped the topic, but looking at Zhao Lingxuan, he said a little strangely: "Speaking of which, the girl is really similar to that disciple of the Five Elements Sect......"
Zhao Lingxuan didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she left the shop, anyway, her pretty face was tense and she didn't say a word. Zong Xiu followed her, and her heart was also messy.
What to borrow from a good fellow is all a lie!
Thinking about it, if the same sect could borrow so many spirit stones, why did Zhao Wan'er do half a year of miscellaneous labor before she changed to the lowest-level method and started practicing?
Maybe the ten spirit stones that Zhao Lingxuan gave him earlier borrowed from the same door. Zhao Mingde must have sent a letter to Zhao Wan'er before, saying that he had gained a lot this time, so Zhao Wan'er was willing to buy the pill. Those pills should have used up all her savings, where did she get the ten spirit stones for Zhao Lingxuan?
Zong Xiu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was holding his breath but couldn't get out, and just wanted to shout to vent his depression in the past two days.
As he walked, he suddenly saw a familiar figure at the corner of the street, Zong Xiu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked over and asked, "May I ask if you still accept your bronze puppet?"
That person was the disciple of the Spirit Control Sect who had met with Zong Xiu before, and when he saw Zong Xiu going and returning, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Accept it." ”
Zong Xiu communicated with the bronze puppet, and the bronze puppet strode towards the disciple of the Spirit Control Sect. The disciple of the Spirit Control Sect pinched the magic trick and frowned: "The Divine Soul Prohibition doesn't seem to be special, strange, it's really strange. He said to Zong Xiu again: "I will bring this puppet back to the sect for study, don't leave it at that!"
Zong Xiu took the twenty spirit stones handed over, and his heart was filled with excitement, this was the first time he had come into contact with the spirit stone, and he was a little overwhelmed with the spirit stone, and after staying for a while, he hurriedly took the spirit stone into his arms.
Then Zong Xiu said to Zhao Lingxuan with a little excitement: "Hey, we have a spirit stone, plus yours is exactly thirty yuan!" The incense burner that Sister Wan'er put in the shopkeeper said that it was for sale, and when she saw Sister Wan'er, she asked her to redeem it. The remaining ten spirit stones, we will enter the door and then find a way to return them to her slowly, we can't let her suffer alone. ”
Zhao Lingxuan has been looking unrelenting since she came out of the shop, her eyes are hollow, her eyes are not focused, Zong Xiu talked to her, and she didn't react.
After a while, Zhao Lingxuan suddenly showed a smile, the smile spread from the corner of her mouth, her face was like melting ice and snow, she said, "Ah Xiu, let's go to the bar!"
Zong Xiu didn't know why, but the boredom in his heart was not completely eliminated because he got twenty spirit stones, and he also had some thoughts of borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, so he agreed.
The two picked a good restaurant in Longjiang Market Town, found a secluded place to sit down after entering, and then let people serve food and wine.
Jong-su rarely drank alcohol, let alone as much as he did now. Zhao Lingxuan seemed to be very happy, pulling Zong Xiu to drink non-stop, with a coquettish smile on her pretty face.
She should have been drunk, her body kept leaning into Zong Xiu's arms, talking nonsense in her mouth, and holding a cup in her hand to toast Zong Xiu. The smell of wine mixed with the fragrance of a girl penetrates into Zong Xiu's heart like a thin velvet thread.
It was the first time that Zong Xiu found that Zhao Lingxuan could be so attractive, and it was the first time that Zhao Lingxuan could be so strange.
Zhao Lingxuan was already sitting on Zong Xiu's lap.
"Ah Xiu, will it be heavy?"
"No, the ass is soft ......"
"Oh, yes, then you have to drink more. ”
"I'm feeling a little dizzy, are you drunk?"
"No, but Ah Xiu, why do you have two heads?"
"Nonsense, how can I have two heads, obviously you have two! Hey, how can you have so many heads?"
......
Zong Xiu felt that his brain was confused, and he woke up the next day with a strong hangover, and his throat seemed to be on fire.
Zong Xiu looked around, he should have slept in a room in an inn. Looking at the bright light coming in from outside the room, Zong Xiu's confused heart suddenly shook, he remembered that today was the day when the mountain gate opened, don't miss the time!
didn't see Zhao Lingxuan, Zong Xiu was a little inexplicable in her heart, that girl didn't know what was crazy yesterday, and suddenly pulled him to drink so much wine. After talking nonsense all night, I still feel funny when I think about it now, Zong Xiu thought about it, and the content of many words has been forgotten, but some words are remembered very clearly, Zong Xiu remembered a sentence:
"Ah Xiu, I don't want to be like my sister, will you forgive me?"
Zong Xiu thought of Zhao Wan'er, and couldn't help but feel gloomy in her heart, but why did Zhao Lingxuan mention forgiveness?
Zong Xiu quickly laughed bitterly, people's hearts are unpredictable, the world is like frost, nothing more than - his spirit stone is gone!
