Chapter Thirty-Eight: Wanbao Gefang City
Sun Hao opened the door, and outside the door was Fang Zhan with a smile on his face, he saw Sun Hao come out, hugged his fists and said: "I'm here to see how Senior Brother Sun's injury is, and by the way, I will send you an entry reward for the inner disciple." β
Sun Hao hurriedly replied: "I'm worried about my senior brother, this little injury is nothing, it's okay, but I also asked my senior brother to make a special trip to get me something, which really makes me feel sorry." β
Fang Zhan waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's all a trivial matter, it's nothing, this is the reward given to you by the five elders, you can check it." After speaking, he took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao didn't care about it, if it was a few days ago, he would probably still be very concerned about the reward, but now that he has received Zhao Qian's rich "gift", he doesn't value this reward very much.
He took the storage bag casually, and without checking it, he put it up, making Fang Zhan nod secretly, and secretly said that Sun Hao was open-minded.
Fang Zhan looked up at the hour for a moment, smiled and said to Sun Hao: "Senior Brother Sun, I see that you have been here for a while, I don't know if there is a shortage of your cultivation pills." Today I plan to go to the market to buy some sundries, are you interested in coming along? β
Sun Hao frowned, he had just harvested a large number of pills, and he was afraid that there would be no shortage in a short time, and he was also going to test the operation of the Shadow Needle, so he planned to refuse.
But Fang Zhan saw Sun Hao frowning, thinking that Sun Hao was shy, so he patted his chest and said: "Senior Brother Sun is short of money, that doesn't get in the way, you came here, Senior Brother hasn't given you any meeting gifts, I will give you some pills today, and I should make up for it." β
Sun Hao saw that Fang Zhan was like this, so embarrassed that he refused. And he thought that he had been here for almost ten days, and he didn't know where the market here was, but he could go and see it, recognize the way, so he nodded and agreed.
Seeing that Sun Hao agreed, Fang Zhan nodded with a smile and prepared to leave. Just as the two of them were about to leave, Qin Ningyu's room door creaked, and Qin Ningyu and Song Ling'er walked out of it.
As soon as Qin Ningyu came out, she chuckled and smiled at Fang Zhan: "Senior Brother Fang is so partial, giving gifts to Senior Brother Sun, but ignoring me, it makes the family so sad." β
Fang Zhan laughed and said, "Senior Sister Qin is joking, don't you know this bit of my family background, Senior Brother, how can I buy any valuables." If you buy something cheap and give it to your junior sister, wouldn't it be shabby junior sister!"
Qin Ningyu was not annoyed when she heard this, it seems that the two often make such jokes, and they have a great relationship.
I only heard Qin Ningyu continue: "Senior Brother Fang, don't laugh, I'm just joking with you, how can I really let you break the bank." However, Sister Song and I were still discussing in the room, and we were also going to go to the market for a visit, and I happened to hear your discussion, so I couldn't help but interject, Senior Brother Fang forgive me. β
Fang Zhan laughed, waved his hand and said, "Since the two of you are also going, naturally go together, go together!"
The four of them reached an agreement and set off together to rush to Fang City.
Along the way, Fang Zhan kept introducing the surrounding terrain to Sun Hao, telling him where is the territory of Qizhumen, and he can hurry with confidence; where is the territory of Dianjinmen and Tianmei Sect, don't go deep easily; where is the place where conflicts are most likely to occur, and he must be careful when passing by.
Although this introduction is cumbersome, it is comprehensive, which makes Sun Hao have a sense of identity with this senior brother in his heart.
When he was halfway there, Sun Hao watched Qin Ningyu and Song Ling'er hurrying in front of them, leaving the two of them far behind, and couldn't help but raise the doubts that had existed in Fang Zhan's heart for a long time, and asked: "Senior Brother Fang, I have always had a puzzle in my heart, why did Senior Sister Song have such a high cultivation and still come here to serve, and she has been veiled, unwilling to show her true face?"
When Fang Zhan heard this, his steps couldn't help but pause, as if he remembered some bad memories.
Sun Hao saw that his face was wrong, and hurriedly said: "If this matter is inconvenient, then don't say it, just because I haven't asked." β
Fang Zhan waved his hand and continued to say as he walked: "This matter is actually not a big deal, it's just that it's been a long time, so it's not surprising that you don't know." For my brother to get started a few years earlier than you, I still know some of the joints. It's just that I'm telling you, don't go around publicizing, so as not to make Senior Sister Song unhappy. β
Sun Hao nodded yes.
Fang Zhan's face showed a hint of reminiscence, and after a long time, he said with some emotion: "Senior Sister Song is the first batch of disciples to enter the sect in this class, she is peerless, has excellent qualifications, and was known as the number one master among the disciples at that time. She has a lot of prestige among her disciples, and she is an idol in the hearts of many people, and there is no shortage of excellent disciples who pursue her. β
But she is arrogant and single-minded, where will she pay attention to those superficial people. Once, an elder's son accidentally ran into her, and was shocked and began to pursue her persistently. Sending pills, magic weapons, and spirit stones, almost all the tricks that can be used have been used, but none of them can impress Senior Sister Song's heart. In the end, the son of the elder became angry and planned to use force. β
"But Senior Sister Song's cultivation at that time had already been slightly small, and she easily beat this person to a serious injury, and hung it in the gatehouse of the sect to show the public, and almost died. β
This incident caused the elder to be extremely angry, and he was so angry that he had to settle accounts with Senior Sister Song. But at that time, Senior Sister Song had a very high prestige among the disciples, and when the disciples heard about this injustice, they gathered hundreds of people and went to the elder to reason. β
This last incident naturally attracted the attention of the master, and he tried his best to appease the agitated disciples, and punished the elder and his son. As for Senior Sister Song, after seeing her, the head of the family commented--This woman is very demonic, she should be a disaster star, and it is unlucky! β
"The wall of the mountain behind it is unobstructed, the wind and rain are blowing, and the aura is thin. But Senior Sister Song stayed there for three years, and when she returned, her temperament changed greatly, she covered her face with a veil, and her temperament became much colder. The head of the family probably saw that Senior Sister Song was unwilling to beg for mercy, so he sent her here to guard the spirit mine, which is why Senior Sister Song is so temperamental. β
Sun Hao didn't expect that there were so many hidden feelings, looking at Song Ling'er in the distance, he sighed in his heart, and said secretly: I didn't expect this woman to be a hard-working person.
However, before he could sigh again, Fang Zhan told Sun Hao that Fang Shi had arrived.
When Sun Hao heard this, he looked at it with great eyes, but he didn't see any sign of people in the distance, it was still a large stone beach, so he looked at Fang Zhan suspiciously.
Fang Zhan smiled slightly, didn't explain much, just walked a few steps quickly, caught up with the two in front, and said to the two: "Two, Senior Brother Sun is here for the first time, I'm afraid that we still need our help to enter, and I'm tired of the two of you." β
The second daughter didn't say anything, but one person took out a diamond-shaped token from the storage bag, and Fang Zhan also took out a piece.
The three of them pointed the token forward, and a hole opened in the air in front of them, revealing a scene inside.
Fang Zhan said to Sun Hao at this time: "Senior Brother Sun, because there are several sects gathered here, fighting all year round, Wanbaomen has set up this prohibition here in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone needs an identity token to enter and exit, and no one without a token is allowed to enter." When you get inside, you can also handle a piece, so that it will be convenient to enter and exit in the future. β
Sun Hao suddenly realized, and followed the three of them into the market.
After entering the market, Sun Hao found that there was really a hole in it, and he saw that there were nearly 100 small stalls of all sizes on this place about two miles away. There are those who sell pills, those who sell magic weapons, and those who sell materials for cultivating truths.
And in the middle stands a large pavilion, up to five floors, with a splendid signboard hanging on it, on which are written three big characters - Wanbao Pavilion. There is also a row of small characters under the big characters, introducing how many branches of this store is Wanbao Pavilion, which makes Sun Hao secretly laugh, it seems that this cultivator's shop is not much different from mortals, and it is a bit clichΓ©.
As soon as Qin Ningyu and Song Ling'er entered this place, they left by themselves, saying that they were going to buy some belongings from their daughter's house. Fang Zhan couldn't follow him, so he pulled Sun Hao to Wanbao Pavilion to handle Sun Hao's identity token.
After entering the Wanbao Pavilion, Sun Hao found that the prosperity inside was not comparable with the shabby stalls outside. I saw that most of the items in the building were available, and several of the small servants who were responsible for the hospitality also had the level of three or four floors of condensation, which made Sun Hao secretly ashamed, but he didn't expect that he was not even as good as a small servant.
Fang Zhan didn't notice the change in Sun Hao's mood, and took Sun Hao to the window dedicated to handling the token, reported Sun Hao's surname to the sect, and after a while, Sun Hao's identity token was done.
Sun Hao played with it for a while, then put it up, and the other party said: "Senior Brother Fang, since you came here to buy something, I won't bother you anymore." I'll go out for a walk myself, and I'll come back here in an hour to find you. β
Fang Zhan also nodded, and said to Sun Hao: "Senior Brother Sun is new here, you should take a good turn, there are a lot of useful things here, if you like it, just tell me, I will pay the bill for you." β
Sun Hao nodded and thanked him, then walked out of the door of Wanbao Pavilion, and walked around the market alone.
To say that this market, although it is similar to a mortal market, it is not the same. There are not many stalls in the streets, but there are even fewer pedestrians, and many stalls are not visited at all.
But even so, the stall owner didn't shout loudly, as if he didn't care about his business at all, and the old gods were meditating in place.
But this is also understandable, after all, they are all cultivators, and they have some dignity, how can they be like market vendors, competing all over the world.
In addition, cultivators' time is precious, and they all focus on cultivation, and most of the people who come here come specifically to buy what they lack.
Most people see what they need, negotiate the price and buy it directly. There are very few people like Sun Hao who are bored and wandering on the street, and everyone looks at him a little strangely.
Sun Hao didn't care about the eyes of others, and wandered around to see if there was anything valuable, until he walked to a stall specializing in selling jade slips, and was attracted by a jade slip on the stall.
