Twenty-one Pillow wind leans lightly

According to Anzi's idea, he should go out at night to look for it, and maybe he can grab a token and come back. Lin Yuan just said: "I grabbed it, everyone will be tired tomorrow, and they won't be able to hold it." What's more, those who have already found the token must be on guard at night, and it is not so easy to get hold of it. ”
In the end, Li Bing and his party of six still found a sheltered place to sit down and rest.
Seeing Ling Ling shivering in the sea breeze, Chiren originally wanted to pick up some firewood, but was stopped by Li Bing. Once the fire is ignited, the location is too obvious, not to mention that several people still carry the bow, in case it is seen by others, it will be another turmoil, and more is better than less.
Although Leng Leng was not wearing a thin dress, Chiren still took off his animal skin coat and gave it to him, and the sea in the first month was cold and windy.
Chiren took off his leather coat, and seemed to be a little cold, so he leaned closer to Li Bing, then picked up the bow again, and pulled it with a gesture: "This bow is really powerful, a good bow." Good bow! On the market, it can sell for nearly 100 taels. ”
(Note: Silver was not in circulation in the market at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, but it was available at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but it was not circulated frequently, and it was limited to very large amounts.) Ordinary people have an idea of the value of silver. In addition, the silver ingots of the Tang Dynasty are cuboidal, similar to the appearance of small yellow croaker in the Republic of China, which can be cast by the people, and there is no unified standard. As for the copper coins, one thousand wen is the same, which is basically equivalent to one tael of silver. And the purchasing power, roughly a bucket of rice (about six kilograms) is worth five cents. Ordinary peasants can live a year with five taels of silver. **Four more ability is limited, can only verify the above statement, the currency of this article is also based on this standard, if there is a fallacy, please forgive me. **)
"It's so valuable......" Ling Ling couldn't bear to look sideways.
"Huh?" Han Linyuan couldn't help but call: "I thought it was some kind of treasure, it took so much effort, it's just such a broken thing." This immortal road conference is also too cold. ”
After speaking, he took the bow and looked at it, looked at Li Bingdao: "If you want this thing, Wei Ze estimates that he can find a carriage to come back." Lingjiaomen is too picky. Take gifts, and don't take out some good ones. ”
Although Ling Ling and Chiren have seen some of the world, they are not the upper class after all. Anzi, Yinglan'er has seen some of the world, but basically one hundred and ten taels of silver can be called a lot for them. Han Linyuan and Li Bing are different. One is the only son of the eldest son of the Fei faction, and the other is the eldest son of King Xiang of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that they are sworn brothers and there is a rich Wei Ze in the world. This one hundred taels is too little for them.
The class of society will always affect a person's perception to some extent.
Han Linyuan recalled the matter of giving the Lingjiaomen guide boy five taels of ingots, threw the bow to the side, and said thoughtlessly: "No wonder five taels of silver can be exchanged for such a big clue." I thought these immortals were so rich. With a finger in your hand, a stone becomes gold. With a slight wave, the mountain is broken. ”
Li Bing picked up the bow and said with a smile: "I originally thought it was the same, but I reacted after the last time." Do you think that every sect is like 'Ximing Temple', with the royal support, and the money is not earned little by little? The East China Sea is not as inland as the mainland, so you can't be like your non-factions, managing many industries and engaging in government affairs, and you won't be like the Shufeng Chamber of Commerce to do business and make a living. So if you want money, don't you still have to go to the Central Plains to do things?"
Ying Lan'er asked suspiciously, "Do what?"
"What else can there be, there are national laws and regulations, you can't kill people and set fires, you can't be controlled by the rules of the rivers and lakes, you can't rob darts in the aisles, you must take into account the reputation of the rivers and lakes, you can't cheat and cheat, you can't let go of your sectarian status, and you don't want to interfere in the world. Occasionally, no one has paid the way to eliminate demons. So how many ways are there to make money?"
Ying Lan'er sighed: "If you think about it carefully, it's really like this." But if they ask for money, it shouldn't be of much use. ”
Han Linyuan took over the conversation: "How can it be useless? They are just cultivating immortals, not immortals, so they always have to eat." It is said that only when you become an immortal can you open the valley, and even the scattered immortals have to eat. ”
As soon as he said a word, he saw that Yinglan'er wanted to refute, but he didn't give her a chance, and continued: "Okay, okay, even if they can grow vegetables on the island, then they have to wear clothes, is it possible that if they don't have clothes, they have to grow hemp and mulberry, spin and weave clothes? What about weapons? Even if they can forge themselves, they must have mines, and they don't have to buy them from the Central Plains? What about farm tools? What about ploughing cattle?
Ling Ling also said: "It's not just that, for example, the pills that are very important for immortal cultivators, many herbs have specific growth places, and most of them have to be bought with money." And some precious medicinal materials, the price is even more outrageous. However, this is also a very important way for immortal cultivators, and they can sell it if they are in need. ”
Ying Lan'er was originally going to be angry with Han Linyuan, but when she saw Ling Ling also talking, she had to suppress it: "It turns out that the world of cultivating immortals is like this, it's not the same as I thought?"
"Oh, that's right. Sister Ling Ling, you know so much about the matter of pills, could it be that you are a person who makes alchemy?" Ying Lan'er suddenly mentioned this, but the others didn't feel anything, but Chiren immediately looked over, maybe among these six people, he was the only one who understood the importance of alchemy for cultivating immortals.
Ling Ling pulled the leather coat on his shoulder: "I won't tell you anything, what I'm best at is indeed 'Danshu'." ”
Han Linyuan was also very happy: "Sure enough, at Kui Niu's place, I saw that your medical skills were so good, so I guessed a little." This time I came to the 'Ghost Valley', now the best Danshu is the only one left, you are so young, you are so attained, you will definitely be able to worship under him, just wait for the alchemy competition, let you be in the limelight. ”
Ling Ling's expression had always been sullen, but at this moment, it inexplicably made Li Bing feel even colder: "Ghost Valley? I did come for it. ”
Han Linyuan's conjecture confirmed that he was originally very happy to confirm his cleverness, but now that he looks at Ling Ling, he always feels that her expression is a little strange.
It was cold again between the six of them, and only the sound of the wind howling in the valley remained.
"Hey, it's not too early, let's go to bed early. There is still a fierce battle to be fought tomorrow, so everyone must keep their spirits up. Li Bing pulled the neckline of his shirt so that the wind could not blow in, and it would not be so cold.
"It's almost four hours until dawn, so let's keep an hour by ourselves. Han Linyuan also squeezed with Li Bing: "Then I'll sleep first." I'll get up and change you in a moment. It's cold where this bird doesn't poop. ”
"Birds don't?" Anzi stuck out his tongue: "Brother Linyuan, you are wrong to blame this treasure land." Smell it, there's bird poop everywhere!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
After that, it was all that remained, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the night was silent.
On the huge stone tablet on the east peak of Fengjiao Island, the smooth indentations of the four big characters of "Wuhua Tianbao" are clearer than in the daylight under the moonlight.
Zaron Socha and Gesang Yuzha leaned against the three-zhang high stone stele.
"This is really a ghost place, even if it is cold at night in Tuyuhun, it is not so cold. Fortunately, this monument is big enough to block the wind. If it's still in the woods, it's going to freeze. ”
"It's going to be January, and the wind in the East China Sea is so strong, let's get colder. I'll hide here tonight, and don't go to that meditation hall, in case something happens again. Wouldn't it be more troublesome?"
The two of them were leaning lazily against the stone stele, but Zaron Suoza suddenly stood up and asked Gesang curiously: "You say, in the middle of that wooden stick, what is hidden in such a small position?
Gesang pondered for a while, touched his hand to his chest and put it back, and finally took out a blank piece of paper from the placket of his clothes: "I guess they are looking for something similar to this." ”
"Blank paper, where can't I find a bunch of this?"
Gesang smiled contemptuously: "You tear it open and try it?"
"Tear?" Zalonso looked at his smug energy and knew there was something wrong within. I tore it first, but I didn't tear it. Then I exerted my strength little by little, and finally used all my brute strength to have no effect. In a fit of rage, even his true anger came out, and he pulled it twice, but the paper still didn't change at all.
"What the hell is this, even if it's a fast iron plate, I should have torn it in half. ”
Gesang put the piece of paper back into his coat: "This piece of paper was originally sandwiched in the 'travelogue' they stole it. ”
"What?"
"That travelogue is a relic of the previous Tantric sect master, I told you. Uncle Danba used to be the youngest disciple of the previous generation of sect masters. Although the old sect master liked him, he passed on the position of sect master to the eldest disciple instead of Uncle Danba. Later, Uncle Danba set up his own door, and the book was brought out. ”
(Danba is the one who went to Ximing Temple with Gesang in the third volume to ask for the 'Dharma Relic'.) )
"You said this once, and you forgot?"
Gesang glanced at Zalong: "Of course I remember, I haven't finished yet." In fact, this book is not the old master's, but my ancestor "Songtsen Gampo". ”
"Ahh
"You also know that 'Tantra' was founded by 'Songtsen Gampo'. It's just that after his death, Tantra became a person who obeyed the orders of the successive generations of dry cloth, rather than being directly managed by the dry cloth.
That travelogue was probably found by the old sect master in the Tantric Book Pavilion, and it was originally just a travelogue of Songtsen Gampo, which recorded the mountains, rivers, landforms, customs and customs of many places. Not only limited to Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, but also far away Dashi, Tianzhu, Fangla, Silla and so on.
Later, on several trips, the old sect master went to some places that Songtsen Gampo had not recorded, so he continued to write some to the travel notes. Uncle Danba also liked to travel when he was young, and this travelogue was given to him by the old sect master. ”
Zaron said: "Your expression skills are really poor, this has been talking for a long time and then coming back." What the hell are you trying to say? ”
Gesang said: "Every time I tell you something, can you not interrupt me." You have to study hard with my sister!"
"Okay, good, my brother-in-law, go on. ”
Danba didn't pay much attention to this book, and he rarely traveled after setting up his own door, so the book was put in the library and no longer read. Not long after, there was a heavy rain, and the water poured into the library. Many of the books on one of the bookshelves were wet.
When the disciples were sorting out the books, they found that some of the ink was scattered and the handwriting was illegible. But only on this page, the ink was not scattered, but all washed away, and the paper became a blank sheet again. What's even more strange is that no matter how much you soak this paper, it can't soak a drop of water.
Later, when Uncle Danba restored his travelogue, he took out this page separately. It's just that I haven't been able to figure out what the problem is. ”
"After talking for a long time, you finally got to the point. Zalonso looked at Gesang and glanced at him again, ignoring it, and said, "Then you said that the old sect master deliberately passed this thing on to Danba?"
"I guess not. He gave Uncle Danba so many books, if it was really something very important, the old sect master would definitely explain it. I guess the old sect master doesn't know the secret hidden here. Since those two tattooed men are coming to get their travelogue, maybe they know something, and I want to find out about it while retrieving it. ”
Zaron nodded, "I see." Suddenly reacted: "Since this thing is so important, how did you get it?" Danba didn't even know that you were coming to check this, so he probably wouldn't give you this piece of paper. Could it be that you stole it?"
Gesang was silent.
"You really stole it. You're not a little daring. ”
"It's not the first time I've taken his stuff, and Uncle Danba has been more serious with us. Gesang tilted his head: "But what is that piece of paper?"
With that, he took out the piece of paper again and looked up at the moon.
"What the hell is it?"
"Hey, Danba can't even think through it, let alone you. If Heaven favors you, you will know when the time comes. Go to bed early, I'll have to find those two tomorrow......"
Zaron was silent for a while, and then said, "...... Eh, you said that since they have already gotten the things, will they have already left Lingjiao Island?"
"No, leaving at this time will only attract attention. In any case, they will wait until the conference is completely over. ”
"Oh, that's good, we still have plenty of time. ”
"yes, go to sleep......"
"Good. Slept ......."
