Chapter 14: Daozong Sword Pill
"Gu Qingzhou, you are so poor, the money you brought with you will be spent in one meal. The two walked on the street, and Xia Wanyan said with disgust.
"You still say, I saved up that money for half a year, and you spent it in one meal. Gu Qingzhou's face was depressed, and his right hand touched the empty pocket, which was very painful.
"No, it took half a year to save that little money. Mo Yuyan looked surprised and looked at Gu Qingzhou in disbelief.
"Please, you are a dignified Taoist saintess, of course you don't have to worry about food and clothing. And I'm just a farmer, how can I compare with you, look at this street, how many people can eat casually?" Gu Qingzhou said speechlessly.
"Really, can't they afford to eat Yan Guilou?" Xia Wanyan looked at the pedestrians on the street with some surprise.
"If you don't believe it, ask it yourself!" Gu Qingzhou said helplessly.
"Sure enough, she is a young lady from a rich and noble family, and the degree of food and clothing is not comparable to that of me, a wild boy from the countryside?" Gu Qingzhou felt depressed in his heart.
Xia Wanyan looked at the crowd on the street with a puzzled face.
"Hey!" Gu Qingzhou suddenly shouted.
"What?" Xia Wan'an looked back at him.
Gu Qingzhou's hand reached into his arms and groped for a while, and after a while, he took out a fine white hosta, and Xia Wanyan next to him instantly lit up.
"This is?" Xia Wanyan couldn't believe it.
It was the white hosta I had just seen at the stall.
Gu Qingzhou nodded and said, "What, don't you like it?"
"I like it, of course I like it!" Xia Wanyan hurriedly said, her beautiful eyes looked at Gu Qingzhou, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"No, don't you have no money? How did this come about?" Xia Wanyan held the hairpin in her hand and suddenly realized.
Gu Qingzhou shrugged his shoulders and said mysteriously: "Secret!"
"Stole?" Xia Wanyan seemed to have guessed something, and her pupils dilated instantly.
Gu Qingzhou hurriedly covered her mouth, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter, you keep quiet, we haven't gone far yet!"
"No, you have to change it back quickly, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, you are not in line with the etiquette and law, and it is against the teachings of the ancestors!" Xia Wanyan broke away from Gu Qingzhou's hand and said with a serious face.
"Hey, I say, why are you so old-fashioned. Gu Qingzhou listened to the ethics and morality in Xia Wanyan's mouth, and felt that his head was about to get bigger.
Xia Wanyan saw that Gu Qingzhou was unmoved, and continued: "The ancient great sage once said.
Rich and noble are what people want, and they do not get it by their way, and they do not go anywhere; poverty and cheapness are what people hate, and they do not get it by their way, and they do not go to it. 'The people of ancient were able to do this, and how much more so should we?'
Gu Qingzhou's head was a mess when he heard this, and he thought: "Won't you just take him a hairpin, as for being so serious, isn't this a very normal thing in the wilderness? Besides, who told him to insult us just now, then he is not too much at all!"
Of course, what he thought in his heart naturally couldn't be said, Gu Qingzhou could only think of a way, and said in his mouth: "Sure enough, it is the Holy Maiden of the Taoist Sect, I have read the book of sages, I can't tell you." ”
"However, I'm not stealing!" Gu Qingzhou deliberately smiled mysteriously.
"Isn't this stealing? Do you still want to rob it in broad daylight?" Xia Wanyan said.
As a Taoist saint, Xia Wanyan has read sages since she was a child, and she has received religious rituals and ethical patriarchy since she was a child. These ethics have long been engraved into her bones, so "stealing" can naturally be regarded as a very big thing for her.
"Hey!" Gu Qingzhou called her.
"Don't slander good people!"
Gu Qingzhou deliberately said very loudly, showing that he was very angry.
"Besides, what is stealing, how can a scholar call stealing, I am taking it openly, and I left him something in exchange!" Gu Qingzhouqiang explained.
"Really?" Xia Wanyan asked, her face softened slightly, and she already believed Gu Qingzhou's explanation in her heart.
"Of course it's true!" Gu Qingzhou said.
Xia Wanyan's face returned to normal at this time, and her bright eyes looked at the white hosta in her hand again, and she couldn't put it down.
What Xia Wanyan didn't know was that after the two of them walked away, there was a sudden angry shout from the stall where the jewelry was buying.
"Two bastards actually stole my hairpin and used stones to fool me!" said the peddler, clutching a handful of stones in his hand, with fire in his eyes, gritting his teeth.
Gu Qingzhou and Xia Wanyan walked on the street, wandering aimlessly. A frown furrowed, not knowing what to think. The other looked around with big watery eyes, curious about everything.
"The money is spent, what should I do!" Gu Qingzhou thought secretly in his heart.
Xia Wanyan on the side suddenly stopped, her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, a look of excitement appeared on her pretty face, she turned her head and shook Gu Qingzhou's shoulders with both hands, and said, "I have thought of a way to make money." ”
"Well, what?" Gu Qingzhou's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.
"Of course it's selling. Xia Wanyan smiled slightly, and her pretty little face looked extremely serious.
"Shopping?" Gu Qingzhou was puzzled.
"Let's go to the West Market later, I heard that it is the power run by the Savage City City Lord's Mansion there, and you can trade all kinds of items freely. ”
Then, I saw Xia Wanyan take out a round ball out of nowhere. The ball was made of metal, the size of an egg, and the surface was so smooth that if you looked at it alone, you wouldn't be able to see anything out of the ordinary.
"What is this?"
Gu Qingzhou looked puzzled, but looking at this metal ball, it was a little familiar, as if he had seen it in the "Twelve Chapters of the Dao Sword".
Xia Wanyan's white and tender face showed a hint of pride, and the cherry mouth said softly: "This is a sword pill, there are ten swords hidden in it, if you throw it at the enemy in the middle of the battle, the ten swords inside will break out of the pill, and directly catch the opponent off guard." ”
Gu Qingzhou instantly thought about it, after all, he had studied the "Twelve Articles of the Dao Sword" for more than ten years, and he was extremely familiar with the Dao Sect exercises, although he didn't dare to confirm it when he saw this metal ball for the first time, he already had a guess in his heart.
Although the surface of this sword pill was extremely smooth, its joints were slightly rough, and it only contained ten swords, which was still a little lacking in number. There are at least dozens of swords hidden in a good sword pill, and there are even hundreds or thousands of swords hidden in it.
Therefore, the sword pills on the market that really contain hundreds and thousands of swords are all masterpieces. If it is in the actual battle, as soon as the so-called sword pill comes out, the sword intent is monstrous, and it will be pierced into a hornet's nest by the sword that fills the sky.
At this time, the sword pill that Xia Wanyan took out, at a glance, knew that it was made by the disciples of the Taoist Sect. Even, Gu Qingzhou's heart faintly guessed that it was created by Xia Wanyan herself.
However, Gu Qingzhou was just guessing in his heart, he didn't dare to say these words easily, after all, he had also practiced the "Twelve Chapters of the Dao Sword", if Xia Wanyan knew about it, he would be in big trouble.
"Daozong Sword Pill, I didn't expect you to have such a treasure on you. Gu Qingzhou pretended to be surprised.
In fact, Gu Qingzhou had already learned how to make this simple sword pill when he was ten years old. If he had made it now, he would have hidden at least seventy-two swords in it.
"Hehe, this is my pride. Xia Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled, with a smug look on her face.
"You made it yourself, it's amazing!" Gu Qingzhou deliberately pretended not to know anything, and praised.
"Hehe!" Xia Wanyan covered her mouth and smiled, her face very proud.
"The Holy Maiden of the Taoist Sect, it really lives up to its reputation!" Seeing Xia Wanyan's expression of enjoyment, Gu Qingzhou snickered in his heart, and continued to boast.
"Hey, what a Dao saintess, didn't you say that you would help me keep my secret!" Xia Wanyan suddenly reacted and whispered.
"Aren't you the Holy Maiden of the Dao Sect!" Seeing Xia Wanyan's reaction, Gu Qingzhou snickered on the side.
Xia Wanyan hurriedly pulled Gu Qingzhou to the side, and her bright eyes looked around, and after finding that no one was paying attention to her, she said nervously to Gu Qingzhou: "Okay, you farmer, didn't you say that you want to help me keep secrets, if my identity is known by you barbarians, then I will be miserable, and I don't know how many people will be arrested." ”
"Is it that serious?, why are we savage people arresting you if we have nothing to do?" Gu Qingzhou asked puzzled.
"You're really a farmer, do you think, if they knew that I was a Daoist saintess, they would definitely arrest me, and then threaten the Dao Sect and let them take money to ransom me!
Gu Qingzhou was speechless for a while, and said, "What kind of script are you reading? Are we barbarians so bad?"
Xia Wanyan's face flushed: "As far as our words in Middle-earth are concerned, it is said that barbarians are bad and bad, just like the devil, after killing people, they have to eat their flesh and drink their blood." ”
“......”
Gu Qingzhou was even more speechless, and said in his heart: "It turns out that we are like this in the eyes of the people of Middle-earth!"
"Hey, you must keep it a secret for me!" Xia Wanyan told again.
Gu Qingzhou nodded, but he couldn't help but tease the girl in front of him in his heart, so he deliberately said loudly: "Okay, Your Highness the Holy Maiden!"
Xia Wanyan's face changed when she heard this, and she quickly reached out to cover Gu Qingzhou's mouth, but because she used too much force, her center of gravity was unstable, and finally she threw herself directly into his arms.
Gu Qingzhou didn't expect such a thing to happen, and was directly dumbfounded.
The two of them were within easy reach, and a faint fragrance rushed into Gu Qingzhou's nose, which smelled very good. I don't know why, asking about the faint aroma on Xia Wanyan's body, Gu Qingzhou actually began to breathe a little short, and his chest jumped violently, the most important thing is that his hands also began to be a little flustered, and he didn't know where to put it.
"The ......"
Gu Qingzhou's face was slightly red, looking at Xia Wanyan in his arms, he opened his mouth a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.
Xia Wanyan hurriedly pushed Gu Qingzhou away, her pretty face was flushed, like a ripe red apple, as if it could drip juice. She was even more embarrassed to stay in place, her hands kept fiddling with the sword pill in her hand, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Gu Qingzhou, who was also embarrassed at this time.
"That...... It was just an accident. Xia Wanyan was the first to break the silence, biting her lips lightly, and explained awkwardly.
"Well, unexpectedly. ”
Gu Qingzhou was also extremely flustered, it was the first time he had such close contact with a girl since he grew up so much.
There was silence between the two again.
Gu Qingzhou was extremely embarrassed in his heart, but he still quickly found an excuse and changed the topic: "Ahem, how can this brother sword pill be sold?"
Xia Wanyan was also worried about how to ease the atmosphere between the two, and immediately replied after hearing Gu Qingzhou's words: "I heard that the West Market is an important trading place in the Wild City, and it is also set up by the City Lord's Mansion, and there is a special army stationed there, why don't we go there and have a look!"
Hearing Xia Wanyan's words, Gu Qingzhou also nodded in agreement.
