Chapter Thirty-Eight: Visiting the Bazaar (I)
"The second preparation is, you wait for the three of you to go to the main gate to take the exam as disciples of the branch sect first, and become disciples of the outer gate, I was admitted to the main gate by myself as a disciple of the branch sect, and then I studied in the door for three years, but my cultivation has not risen for a long time, so I was deprived of my identity and expelled from the door, but I didn't expect that after being expelled, I actually ignited the light of wisdom, so I stayed in this East Pole City for seventeen years. Li Shuyan said this, his eyes were full of warm colors, as if recalling that good time, he continued: "I wanted to re-enter the main gate after building the foundation, but, alas, ......"
"When a disciple of the branch enters the main gate, everything needs to be practiced at his own expense, including sect clothes, daily necessities and other miscellaneous items, all of which must be purchased in advance before going up the mountain. Li Shuyan looked at the confused expressions of Jun Ao and Wen Cangming on the other side, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as this kind of day lasts for half a year, when Senior Brother Meng comes out, I will let him accept you as a disciple as soon as possible, just let you start first." ”
"It's fine. ”
Jun Ao and Wen Cangming glanced at each other, and nodded tacitly, as for the mastiff's opinion...... He had no say in the whole time.
"Then Mr. Li, where are you going?" asked Jun Ao.
"I, I'm naturally staying in this East Pole City, I've already contacted and found a place to stay before I came, so you don't have to worry about me. Li Shuyan smiled and said, "After dinner, I will take you to the market to shop for some things, and you can leave for the main gate tomorrow." ”
The reason why Li Shuyan didn't act with the entire team of the East Pole Branch Sect before was this, the disciples sent by those people had already found a master, just waiting for them to send it. And Li Shuyan's side, because of Meng Madman's reasons, he could only enter the outer disciples first and wait in the sect.
After being full of wine and food, Li Shuyan directly opened five rooms in this hotel called 'Minghe Tower'.
Just as everyone was about to leave for the market, Yue Susu suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle Li, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”
"Hmm, can't you come back later?" asked Li Shuyan.
Yue Susu bowed his head and was silent.
"Uncle Shi, since the master of the Yuemen has something important to discuss with you, the three of us can go by ourselves, and we can still find a market. Wen Cangming said, then pulled up Mastiff and Jun Ao and set off downstairs.
Leave the quiet duo behind.
Li Shuyan stared at Yue Susu for a while, sighed inexplicably, and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, followed by Yue Susu.
Jun Ao and his party walked out of the restaurant, and there were people coming and going on the street, and the three of them stood still as soon as they went out of the door.
"Do you know where the bazaar is?" Jun Ao frowned and tilted his head to look at Wen Cangming.
"It's not easy, ask someone. Wen Cangming said, without looking at it, he grabbed a passer-by next to him and asked, "This senior, may I ask ......?"
"Get out!" the man flicked his sleeves and roared, his rough voice was so loud that it made the ears of the three of Jun Ao buzz.
When I looked closely, I saw that the person Wen Cangming pulled casually was a big man, tall and tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a face full of horizontal meat, a fierce and vicious appearance, and a machete behind his back, and he knew that he was a villain at a glance.
"Whew~"
Seeing that this person was so arrogant, the mastiff on the side was defeated, his head was raised, his nose was wrinkled, his expression was fierce, and his mouth was whining and roaring, looking like he was about to bite.
"I'm sorry, seniors bothered. Wen Cangming broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly grabbed the mastiff who was about to make a move, and walked away apologetically.
"Hmph. The wicked man snorted coldly, glanced at the mastiff defeat with cold eyes, and swaggered away.
"Whew!" Mastiff saw that the evil man actually provoked himself, he was angry, Wen Cang didn't want to meditate, and slapped the mastiff on the back of the head, Mastiff seemed to have been immobilized as if he had been spelled, and he calmed down all of a sudden, turned his head to the side, and stopped making a fuss.
"You're stupid. Wen Cangming hated the accusation that iron could not become steel: "Can't you see that the evil man is stronger than you? ”
"Brother Wen, can you find someone to find someone to find the right person in the future before you speak?" Jun Ao walked over silently from the side, and quickly walked to the side the moment Wen Cangming grabbed the evil man, making the appearance of a passerby.
Wen Cangming saw Jun Ao coming, and continued to accuse, righteously accusing: "You still dare to say! As the highest cultivator among the three of us, where have you just been? Do you know the meaning of the word righteousness? Can you ......know the gift of friendship?"
"Okay, stop chattering, I suddenly remembered, let's go, I know where the bazaar is. As soon as Jun Ao heard that Wen Cangming was going to start a tirade, he didn't shake him off, and walked in front very leisurely.
"What? How do you know? When did Uncle Shi tell you?" Wen Cangming became interested when he heard it, and he grabbed the sullen mastiff and left.
"Do you see these strange beasts?" said Jun Ao, pointing to the strange beasts that flew by from time to time above the street, including winged cats, listening birds, turtles swimming in the water as if the air were in the water, and so on.
"See, I've always wondered who kept these strange beasts in captivity, how can they be allowed to fly all over the city?
"I thought you knew everything. Jun Ao made a look of disdain and said, "Mr. Li told me that these strange beasts are called 'Guiding Beasts', and they are specially designed to lead the way for those of us who are new to the country and are not familiar with the place. ”
"Oh, so amazing?" Wen Cangming felt very novel, it was the first time he knew about this kind of thing, he raised his arms excitedly, and shouted at a flying bird: "Come down and show me the way!"
Sou!
Who knew that the bird ignored Wen Cangming, and swept directly over his head, leaving Wen Cangming with an embarrassed face, and his eyes followed it for a moment.
"What's going on?" Wen Cangming turned his neck stiffly, the smile on his face was not sunny at all, it was very far-fetched.
"Alas, bring a spirit stone. Jun Ao habitually held his forehead.
“...... Wouldn't it?" Wen Cangming's face suddenly became very strange, he thought of a possibility, and took out a spirit stone from the storage bag.
Jun Ao took the spirit stone, and threw it into the sky without thinking about it, and now there was not a single strange beast above their heads, but Jun Ao ignored it, and shouted calmly: "How to go to the market?"
Sou!
The three of them only felt a flower in front of them, and a black shadow appeared above their heads, and then slowly fell.
"Helicopter?" Jun Ao looked at the strange beast in front of him, and an idea came to his mind.
It's a dog, a grey-haired dog with a particularly long tail, its extraordinarily long tail is spinning rapidly, and you can feel a strong wind when you get close, with the help of this force, this grey-haired dog can fly, it seems, the principle is the same as a helicopter in another world. But the styling is much cooler and more handsome than a helicopter.
The gray-haired dog landed not far from Jun Ao's side, with a humanized flattering smile on his face, and then flew slowly in front of him, leading the way for Jun Ao's three people, the gray haired dog's chest has a pocket, which can be seen when shaking, and it is full of spirit stones.
"Do you have to give money to ask for directions like this?" Seeing that his conjecture was correct, Wen Cangming couldn't help but look at the gray-haired dog not far in front of him speechlessly.
"You've got one thing right. Jun Ao said without looking back.
"What?"
"These guiding beasts are all raised by the city lord's mansion. ”
"I see. Wen Cangming suddenly realized.
The gray dog brought the three of them to a memorial arch, with the words 'Seven Star Street', and then looked at the lively hawking scenes on both sides of the street, the market had arrived. The grey-haired dog smiled again, and then its tail shrank and flicked, like a cannonball, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Jun Ao looked at the direction it left and said speechlessly: "This is not scientific!"
Not long after the group of three walked into the market street, Wen Cangming was attracted by a stall.
This is a booth with a challenging nature, the stall owner is a bookish old man of letters, sitting there with a kind face, he erected a battle, with literary polemics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and articles, historical knowledge, cultural cultivation...... If anyone could challenge him, he would give a family heirloom to the winner, who is said to have been set up in the bazaar for several months, and the challengers were endless, but none of them succeeded, and the old man became a legend here, and was revered by the people of the bazaar as 'Wen Lao'.
"I'll come. After the previous challenger failed, Wen Cangming sat on the challenge seat with great interest.
"Oh, young man, extraordinary bearing, well, yes, in time, it will become a great thing. When the old man saw Wen Cangming, a flash of imperceptible light flashed in his eyes, and he stroked the long white beard on his chin with satisfaction, and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"
"Wen Cangming. Wen Cangming said, suddenly looked at an ancient bamboo book on the stall with bright eyes, and regardless of etiquette, he grabbed it and spread it out in his hand, his movements were smooth, and after reading it repeatedly, he raised his head and asked in surprise: "This is the first draft of 'Moxue Lanling'?"
"Yes. Wen Lao looked directly at Wen Cangming's clean eyes, smiled, and praised in his heart, he is a real reader!
"How much does it cost?" Wen Cangming took out a storage bag after speaking, looking impatient.
"Haha! This thing is a priceless treasure, I won't buy it for any amount of money!" Wen Lao laughed, and without waiting for Wen Cangming to react, he continued: "If you can beat me, I will give you all these books except my family heirlooms! ”
"Huh?" Wen Cangming was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, and hurriedly grabbed the names of the books in front of him and looked at them: "Oh my God! A copy of the 'Yongchun Inscription'! This, this is! This is the "Linlang King Poetry Collection"?! How could this thing exist!"
Wen Cangming raised his head suddenly, his eyes faintly red, like a rabbit with anxious eyes: "Compare!
Jun Ao on the side was very stunned, he actually felt a murderous aura from Wen Cangming who looked like this!
