Chapter 119: The City of Commerce
Towering green mountains, towering into the clouds!
When Qi Tian, Ershen and Fengwu hurried for nearly half a year, and finally came to the foot of the mountain standing on the coast of the East China Sea, one person and two beasts were shocked by this green mountain.
The fairy clouds are swirling, and the cranes are singing in unison, which is peaceful. A hundred birds are bright, a hundred beasts are roaring, such a shocking scene is located in the world!
At the foot of the mountain, not only Qi Tian and his party, but also many people who arrived here one after another looked at this mountain with shocked looks, and it seemed that everyone was indulged in the mysterious atmosphere of this mountain.
"This is the first time you're here, right?" An old man was heading towards the mountain with a cigarette stick in one hand and an old ox in the other, his cloudy gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep over Ershen's eyes, "Your donkey is a lot thinner than my cow!
The second gray shrank back his head, it was really the interest in the old man's eyes that occasionally showed teasing, which made him afraid!
"This donkey has been with me for a long time, it is already a brother-like existence, it will not be changed no matter what, it wants to go and stay, but it depends on its own will. Qi Tian replied with a smile, his eyes swept over the old ox led by the old man, and found that the ox still had dirt on its front legs.
"Whatever you want!" The old man didn't feel the slightest displeasure, put the cigarette stick in his waist, and walked up the steps on the mountain, "No matter how immortal it looks like there, it's just a place to abide by the rules of the world, even if you feel worldly on it, it's also the realm of the fairy family, Xiaoyou, if you have something, you can go to the Qian family pawnshop to find me!"
"Above is the palace!"
Before Qi Tian understood the meaning of the old man's speech, he heard the monks beside him shouting.
"It's a palace, it's really a palace! Mount Tai is really the same as the legend, deterring the East China Sea and suppressing the interior!"
Many first-time visitors erupted with this shout. And the palace hidden in the clouds slowly became clear, which made everyone's emotions ignited, and the monks and a few mortals became excited!
Soon, the clouds and mist completely dispersed, and the entire magnificent hall was completely revealed to everyone.
The fine white jade carved ground, showing a warm glow from the halfway up the mountainside, has been laid from the mountainside to the front of the misty palace complex!
"Let's go!" Qi Tian patted Er Ash, his body swaying naturally with Er Ash's movements, he closed his eyes, thinking about all the news about this "Tarzan".
This mountain is also called Mount Tai! Qi Tian remembers that there is also an important mountain on the earth in the ancient Chinese country as Mount Tai, according to the "Historical Records" record, "This Mount Tai built soil as an altar to sacrifice to the heavens, to repay the merits of the heavens, so it is said to be sealed." This Mount Tai is removed from the ground on the hill, and the work of repaying the land is called Zen. ”
Mount Tai is the place where the emperors of ancient China sacrificed to the sky since ancient times, and Mencius has the saying that "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the world was small". It can be said that in the history of ancient China, Mount Tai definitely has a different status.
Unexpectedly, in this place that is not hundreds of millions of light years away from the earth, there is also a Mount Tai, and this mountain also stands on the coast of the East China Sea!
It's just that this mountain is obviously several times larger than Mount Tai on the earth, and it should have a lot of cultivation power, and Qi Tian also has a slight guess about this force - the Qian family!
In the jade slip given to Qi Tian by Jiang Lingyue, there is a focus on the geographical location of the eight major Xiuzhen families, among which the Qian family and the Yao family stick to the eastern soil! And the coastal areas are almost all the territory of the Qian family, and all merchants in the eastern soil must have the surname Qian!
Whether it is a secular force or an immortal cultivation force, everything related to commerce and trade is controlled by the Qian family in this large area!
At the speed of two grays, it took more than half an hour to reach the mountainside position, which is definitely a few kilometers away from the foot of the mountain!
And right here, there is a bustling town, and at this moment you can hear the voices of many people arguing.
Qi Tian couldn't find the white jade steps up the mountain in this location, so he could only take a look along the village here.
"No! This price is too cheap, I can't even get the capital, I won't sell it if I say I don't sell it!" A young man is holding a broken bamboo basket in his hand, and in the basket are two fist-sized eggs, "My family has been living on these two eggs this month, if you don't bid enough, then I'll find someone else to buy it, and you don't have to bargain with me anymore!"
The young man tore the hand of the young man who was in a hurry to buy something, and he looked proud.
"Then I'll add another ten gold, okay?" The young man had a expression on his face, seeing that the young man really turned his head and left, he hesitated slightly, gritted his teeth and increased the price by half, "If you say no, I'll wait a little longer, after a month, the crane will fly back from the east, and if you want to buy two crane eggs, it will be hardware at most!"
Where would the young man not know the market, in fact, it was precisely because he knew the market that he raised the price again and again, and he had to take advantage of the fact that the crane had not returned to the nest to sell these eggs to people in a hurry at a high price, so as to make life better in the cold period in the future.
"Okay, okay, then thirty gold, these two eggs are for you." The young man also looked helpless, as if he had lost money at this price, "Pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other!"
The young man took the money bag handed over by the young man and tapped it in his hand, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, this big brother, our family's crane eggs are notoriously fresh, and this shell rate is 100 percent! If you have any business in the future, remember to find me!"
The young man put the two eggs in the center of his palm for a while, and then showed a satisfied smile, "Yes, they are all eggs of high-level spirit beast cranes, I will come to you if there is business in the future!"
Qi Tian originally felt a sense of disobedience when he looked at this scene, but he couldn't say it, and at this moment it suddenly became clear that something was wrong, the two sides of the business, the young man was just an ordinary mortal! And the young man was obviously a monk!
It was a bargain between a monk and a mortal! And it was clear that the young man had more to gain!
How strange is this, how strange is that a monk would seriously discuss the price of what he needs with a mortal, or even an attitude that a mortal who is obviously suitable will do your business and break up if he is not suitable?
Qi Tian went to the village again, and found that the more he went inside, the more lively it became, the bustling was all people, two or three storey residential houses were built on both sides of the street, and the first floor of the house was basically a commercial house, with everything in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, it was like going to the Song Dynasty commercial street in ancient China!
"Hey, this little brother, you're new here, right?" A woman in her twenties with a good face suddenly appeared in front of Qi Tian, "If this newcomer has no one to lead the way, it's easy to make mistakes here!"
Qi Tian waited noncommittally for the woman to continue.
Liu Tiantian saw this little brother looking at him with a gentle smile on his face, and he hurriedly opened the door, "The little woman's name is Liu Tiantian, she is a native of this Qianzhuang, and she has been a guarantor for some outsiders since she was a child, so she can be said to be familiar with the road and absolutely trustworthy!"
Qi Tian still didn't speak, in fact, he was really interested in the rules of the former village, and now it was like a new game, if he couldn't understand the rules of the game for the first time, it was impossible to win the game!
"What about this guarantee, that is, every good citizen of Qianzhuang's household registration can guarantee fifty foreign households, and with the guarantor as a guarantor, so that monks or mortals can have the right of residence in our Zhuangzi," Liu Tiantian still had a sweet smile on his face, patiently explaining to Qi Tian, "And this right of residence is very useful, if you have the right of residence, you will be driven out of Zhuangzi by the chengguan at night." ”
"Oh, why should I stay here? My goal is to go up. Qi Tian pointed to the position on the mountain.
"If you want to go up, you have to live here! Without a 100,000 gold trading index, you will never be able to find your way up the mountain, it doesn't matter if you are a mortal or a monk," Liu Tiantian said this, quietly glanced at Ershen, and then looked back at Qi Tian, "This trading index means that you have to make a net profit of 100,000 gold, and all your assets now will be converted into gold." ”
Stimulated by the heat in Liu Tiantian's gaze, Er Ash secretly retreated behind Qi Tian, but even so, it could still feel the malicious glances of different people coming towards him from all directions.
Qi Tian frowned, in fact, he had already felt it, as soon as Er Ash entered this place, it was like a lamb entering a wolf's den, and almost everyone who saw Er Ash wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.
"Your donkeys are very expensive here?" Qi Tian couldn't help but ask, this line of thought naturally follows the idea of "commerce" here, it is estimated that there is nothing more important in this place than making money!
"It's not a donkey...... it's expensive" Liu Tiantian scratched the back of his head, a hint of crimson appeared on his face, and he was a little embarrassed, "This is the blood of the demon beast, right?"
"Yes. Qi Tian was also incomprehensible to see Liu Tiantian like this.
"Demon beasts are actually not expensive," Liu Tiantian was about to bury his head in his chest, expressing deep contempt for his behavior that was not at all atmospheric at the moment, she thought that she was not quite arrogant on weekdays? How could she not say anything if it was just a mating? Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and said softly, "But mating can make many people of the opposite sex pregnant, and this hard work will give a lot of money." ”
"Huh?" Qi Tian asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"
Liu Tiantian's voice is so small, it is 108,000 miles worse than the sound of mosquitoes humming, even if Qi Tian's ears are good, he can't hear it clearly!
"I said the mating fee is very expensive......" Liu Tiantian looked at Qi Tian bulgingly, but his voice was only a little louder.
"Huh?" Qi Tian heard Liu Tiantian's words clearly, but he didn't understand what it meant for a while.
"I said that mating would be expensive!" Liu Tiantian thought that Qi Tian hadn't heard it clearly, so he couldn't help but be a little angry, and he was in a hurry, so he shouted out this sentence.
There was silence on the street for a moment, and in an instant the eyes looked this way, and even two men in iron armor rushed towards this side.
Liu Tiantian's face turned red, and then turned white in an instant, and he watched the two ironclad soldiers come over, his legs were weak, "Lord Chengguan, things are not as ...... as you think"
"What's that? Qianzhuang forbids pornography, gambling, and drugs! You know the law and break the law, and your crime will be added to the first degree!" The soldier pouted, also looking helpless.
