When he arrived in the city, no one dared to open a black shop, so Mingxuan chose an inn at random to live in.

Gongcheng is also a small city like Changwang City, and the scale is about the same. Early in the morning, Mingxuan did not choose to go through the city immediately, but walked around the city, and finally came to a new place.

The street is very lively, bustling everywhere, all kinds of cries and sells come and go, since listening to the various things that everyone saw and heard when they traveled in the feng shui hall, Mingxuan has been very fascinated, and began to be very fascinated by some of the things he has not seen, I have never heard of something unique that I have a strong interest in, if I encounter something I have never seen, I will definitely play with it, and when I encounter something I have not eaten, I will buy a little to taste, which can not only satisfy my freshness, but also enrich my experience.

Although the general style of Gongcheng is similar to that of Changwangcheng, there are still many attractive things for Mingxuan, who lacks knowledge.

"Well, what kind of shop is this?" Mingxuan was passing by the corner of a street when he found a strange shop, there was no shouting from customers, no ornate decoration, not even a signboard, and the inside was also dilapidated and deserted, making this shop pù out of place with this bustling and lively street.

Mingxuan's curiosity came up, so he walked into the store and looked around, the place was not big, there were a few shelves at random, and there were some tattered things piled up on the shelves, porcelain bottles, clay pots, There are even some stones, all of which are very ordinary things, and there is really nothing attractive about them, and because no one has cleaned them for a long time, they are covered with a thick layer of ash, which does not arouse people's interest in buying at all, an old man with gray hair is sitting in the corner and studying a bottle with his whole body, not paying attention to the arrival of Ming Xuan,

"Boss, what are you selling here?" Ming Xuan couldn't help but say.

"Then what do you want to buy?" The old man looked up at Ming Xuan, and continued to look at the bottle in his hand, without the slightest intention of soliciting customers.

This time he stopped Ming Xuan, the old man's unreasonable attitude stimulated Ming Xuan's curiosity even more, so he simply sat down next to the old man, and also stared at the bottle in his hand carefully, but Ming Xuan looked at it for a long time, it was really an ordinary bottle, and he didn't find anything special at all.

"There's something special about this bottle. Ming Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"What do you think?" the old man asked rhetorically.

"I didn't find anything special. "Mingxuan is very honest.

"Well, I didn't find out either. The old man replied very seriously.

This answer made Ming Xuan almost vomit blood, what a strange old man! Ming Xuan couldn't sit still now, he was completely inexplicable, he didn't want to waste any more time here, so he got up and prepared to leave.

"It's strange that a bottle that has been stored for nearly a thousand years has nothing special about it. The old man muttered to himself.

"Is this bottle nearly a thousand years old?" this time he pulled Ming Xuan back.

"yes, that's what the guy who sold me said. The old man said solemnly.

"That's so strange, how can a thousand-year-old bottle be preserved so well?" Ming Xuan was also surprised.

"Eh, you have a point in saying this, how can it be so intact, there is no trace of time. The old man was also strange.

"A thousand-year-old bottle, how much did that person sell you?" Ming Xuan suddenly thought of a question.

"Ten taels of silver. The old man said dumbfoundedly.

"Old man, you have been deceived, how can a thousand-year-old bottle only cost ten taels of silver?" Ming Xuan couldn't help but remind, someone must have seen the old man's stunned appearance and cheated him out of money.

"It must be like this!Dog San, this bastard!How dare you lie to me!Bastard, I have to settle accounts with him!" Saying that, the old man went out angrily, leaving Mingxuan who stayed aside, what's the matter with this old man, the store doesn't take care of it, and just leaves?

As a last resort, Ming Xuan guarded the old man for a while, but he still didn't see him come back, in fact, there was really nothing valuable in this store, Ming Xuan simply went out and didn't care.

This chaotic episode did not affect Mingxuan's good mood to continue shopping, still wandering around, the city is not big, except for a few prosperous streets, there is nothing to see, after walking a few streets, Mingxuan came to the north gate, which is the exit of Mingxuan to continue to move forward, it seems that I have to find a place to stay near here tonight, so that I can set off early tomorrow morning, Mingxuan's next battle is Boiling City, which is one of the ten big cities in Zhongzhou, it will definitely be an eye-opener, but the road is a little far, even if Mingxuan fights horses, it will take a few days。

Just as Ming Xuan was looking for the inn, a crowd gathered around attracted Ming Xuan's attention, discussing something, quite intense, and he also approached curiously.

"Dear fathers and fellow villagers, as you all know, there has been a strong bandit in the northern part of the city of Gongcheng recently, who have killed people and carried out all kinds of evil. A guy was standing in the middle of the crowd spitting and talking.

"Especially for some solitary horse teams and caravans, they not only rob money, but they never leave a living, so it is best not to act alone, lest there be accidents. "It seems that the road to the north is not very smooth.

"Yes, a few days ago, a batch of goods from the Wang family was robbed, and there was no one left alive. ”

"I heard that there are dozens of robbers, all of whom have human lives on their hands, and several of the leaders are masters!"

"I'm going north to visit relatives, what can I do now!"

......

For a while, everyone talked about it.

"Listen to me, everybody!" the man spoke again.

"It just so happens that our Li family is going to go north to Boiling City with a batch of goods, a horse team of more than 30 people, we invited a few martial arts masters to be guards, it will be safer, now invite the business travelers who also want to go north to go together, so that they can take care of each other, if they have a little skill, our Li family is also willing to pay a lot of money to hire you, when the time comes, if you unfortunately meet a robber, I hope to be able to take a hand and tide over the difficulties together! If you want to go north together, you can now come and sign up. "Looks like that's what he intended.

However, his combination of soft and hard methods is really effective, and for a while, the people who signed up immediately surrounded him with three layers inside and three layers outside, and it seems that there are really a lot of people who want to go north.

"Little brother, I'll also sign up. After most of the people finished reporting and gradually dispersed, Ming Xuan also came over, if there were really robbers, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with it, but it was safe to be together.

"Do you want to be in a company or do you want to hire a few people, what's your name?" asked the guy without looking up, registering as he registered.

"Gu Mingxuan, just alone, let's be together. "It's better to keep a low profile when you're away from home.

"Okay, so do you need to take care of your peers or do you need to take care of it? The guy then asked.

"What's the matter, is there any difference?" Ming Xuan was confused by his words.

"If you need to take care of it, then our Li family will help you if there is anything on the way, but you have to pay five taels of silver as a care fee. "The guy has already prepared a set of words.

I said how could the Li family be so kind, they were enthusiastic and hired with money, it turned out that they wanted to go north safely, and at the same time, they also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

"Then I'll choose to take care of it. "When you go out, you also ask for peace, and Mingxuan handed over the silver taels.

"Okay, let's leave tomorrow at midnight, and we will gather here at the north gate when the time comes. The guy smiled and accepted the money, reminding Mingxuan.

Fortunately, Ming Xuan chose to stay in Gongcheng for a day, if he rushed on the road, he might run into robbers if he was unlucky, and if everyone was together, it would be much safer.

Ming Xuan found an inn and settled down, but he didn't plan to rest, he still had to go to the weapon store and buy a weapon to defend himself, since Ming Xuan left Huoyun Town, he didn't bring a weapon with him, after all, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a sword is really eye-catching enough, but now is an extraordinary period, or safety first.

The city is much better than the town, and you can buy any weapons you need, unlike the town, where you have to go to the blacksmith to book and build, and the quality is much better.

"Little brother, what weapons do you need? We have swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and eighteen kinds of weapons here, and they are all masterpieces, the best of the best!" As soon as he entered the door, the man came up and talked endlessly.

"Do you have a sword here?" Ming Xuan is now accustomed to using only a sword.

"Yes, look at this row, it's all there, and the handles are all good swords!" the man gestured to the row of shelves in the back.

Ming Xuan pulled out one, pulled out the sword from the sheath, and suddenly the cold light overflowed, and he tapped the sword body lightly, and immediately heard a crisp sword sound, it was indeed a good iron sword, unlike the kind of iron sword made in the town, because the iron was impure, it seemed a bit shoddy, and it would not take long to roll the blade, of course, it was still far inferior to Gongsun Ze's Xuantie sword.

Somehow, Ming Xuan always has an inexplicable touch to the sword, as long as he holds the sword in his hand, it seems that his self-confidence begins to soar, and the whole person is excited, and there is a kind of pride that can fight the world! And the better the sword, the stronger the feeling, when he holds Gongsun Ze's Xuantie sword, Ming Xuan has a pride in killing all directions.

"Dude, this is it!" Ming Xuan was very simply.

Out of the armory shop, Ming Xuan tightened the sword in his hand, and his heart was a lot more steady.

"Robbers, now you'd better ask for more blessings! Don't run into me!" Ming Xuan smiled proudly and turned back to the inn.
