Text 87 Mrs. Lingxin is silent
Li Jingliu listened to the old man's mouth with a black line, but in the end he came up with a price to sell cabbage, and only sighed in his heart that this old man was too good at talking, even if he didn't become a monk and a storyteller, he would definitely not starve to death. Although Li Jingliu didn't know the actual price of the spirit grass, he only relied on the price of the spirit grass he had seen at the stall in the sea market before...... The cheapest wind sand grass on it also has as many as a thousand spirit stones, not to mention a lot of different grasses, and the spirit rhino incense is a rare item, one should be able to sell tens of thousands of spirit stones, right?
So, he looked at the white-eyed old man with regret and regret, and tried to bargain: "This, senior...... Although there is a loss, you have deducted too much, right?"
When the old man heard this, he was not happy, and he said: "What do you mean that you have been deducted too much? Junior, the old man has lived for more than 300 years, can he not calculate the value of a few grasses? You go to the street to inquire about the name of my herb Zhang, which one does not say fair and just? Old man, I also read that it is because of your hard work in collecting medicine that I made an exception to accept these damaged products, I don't believe that if you take them to the street and see, which one will accept them?" At the last sentence, the old man's disdainful eyes couldn't help but flow out.
"This ...... Well, please return it to your seniors. Li Jingliu is not familiar with anything else, he doesn't know how many times he has heard this melon seller's words like belittling other stalls since he was a child, how can this old man be bluffed with a few words?
"Hmph! At first glance, the junior is not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't know the sinister nature of the drug dealers outside, so let's give it back to you, the old man!" The white-eyed old man agreed loudly, but his hands were motionless.
“...... Senior ......" Li Jingliu was about to speak, but was interrupted by a woman's chuckle.
The coquettish voice was like a yellow warbler out of the valley, and it was like a clear spring flowing through the jade: "Old Zhang, although you think so much about the owner, the concubine is very happy, but, this deduction is a bit too much, right?"
"Hmph, if Madam is not satisfied, you can ask Gao Ming, my medicine king Zhang still disdains to be trapped in this small place!"
"Alas, Zhang Lao is angry, who doesn't know your Zhang Lao's ability in this street? It's just that the business in front of you, let's talk about it as a concubine, you have to take care of the juniors, don't you?"
The white-eyed old man ignored it, turned his head with a hum, and focused on the medicinal materials handed out by Li Jingliu, his steaming old eyes flashed from time to time, but he seemed to be afraid of being seen by anyone, and instantly forcibly smeared a layer of disdain, as if he was looking at garbage.
Li Jingliu saw a beautiful woman coming in from the cubicle, the woman was tall, round and jade, and her skin was as white as jade. She wore a simple pearl hairpin on her head, and a pearl girdle around her waist, and the golden pearls from the South China Sea shone on her slender waist, which looked particularly eye-catching.
She comforted Zhang Lao for a few words, then turned to Li Jingliu and said, "The concubine body is the head of this Lingxin Pavilion, Mrs. Lingxin." This guest officer seems to have a lot of treasures in his hands, and if he is not annoyed, please come to the small living room with the concubine. Her voice was soft and delicate, and it was pleasant to listen to between a girl and a woman. Immediately, she led Li Jingliu to the small door on the side.
If you want to talk about this double reed of singing and harmony, Li Jingliu has only seen a lot in the market, first someone pretended to be blackfaced, and then he didn't know where to get out of a white face, the two sang and harmonized, and after a while, there were more people who were fooled. Now that he has foresight, Li Jingliu naturally has more eyes on this Lingxin lady.
But it is said that the inside of this Lingxin Pavilion is quite strange, and it looks like a small space on the outside, but after entering, it seems that there are doors everywhere. When Mrs. Lingxin pushed open a door, a small and delicately decorated hall appeared before her, and the faint sunlight poured in through the window, shining just right on the rather exotic low table.
"I don't know what Madame, what would you like to talk about with you?"
"Naturally, it's business~" Mrs. Lingxin smiled slightly and said: "According to the previous observation of the concubine, there seems to be a lot of spiritual grass in the hands of the guest officer, I don't know if I can take out all of them for the concubine to open her eyes?"
Li Jingliu was slightly shocked in his heart, before, when he touched out a handful of spirit grass, he felt that something was wrong, and he deliberately picked up some rare ones and stuffed them back, such a rapid action even Zhang Lao'er who was testing the herbs could not see it, but this Mrs. Lingxin didn't know where to observe this detail.
Seeing Li Jingliu's expression, Mrs. Lingxin explained with a smile: "How can we do this without some observation? The concubine also said it straight to the point, just now I saw that there seems to be a fire spirit fruit in the guest official's Naxu ring, and the color of that round of jasper is very similar to the jasper grass. The concubine body is more or less an alchemist, but these two grasses are exactly what the concubine needs now, if the guest officer is interested, the concubine will definitely give a reasonable price. ”
"Madam, I am indeed not very proficient in this elixir and the like, and if Madame really needs it, I will offer it with both hands. As he spoke, Li Jingliu took out all kinds of spirit grasses that he had picked from the cave of swallowing heaven and earth before, and for a while, the treasure light was overflowing, and the slight light of the spirit grasses seemed to be shaking the daylight.
Mrs. Lingxin hurriedly looked carefully, and sure enough, the fire spirit fruit and the jasper grass were on display, the fire spirit fruit was crimson, and a red fruit was followed on the delicate blade of grass like red jade, and a huge amount of fire aura was surging in it, and the jasper grass was said to be grass, but it was more like a jade wheel, but there was a slight difference in texture. Mrs. Lingxin took a closer look at the other spirit grasses, although they were slightly damaged due to improper picking, they were all rare and high-quality.
"That's it, and the guest officer, your other spirit grasses are also quite rare, I wonder if the guest officer is willing to make a move?"
Li Jingliu picked up two plants from the spirit grass and retracted the Naxu Ring, and then said: "It's still the same sentence, if the lady needs it, I am willing to give it away." ”
"This ......" Mrs. Lingxin hesitated for a while, she thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "But what does the guest officer need the help of the concubine?"
"Madame is full of spirit, I have heard that Madame has achieved great achievements in alchemy earlier, and I have always admired it. At this time, seeing the true face of the lady, I felt that the lady was really a fairy, and my heart was shocked, and I was willing to send these spiritual grasses to the lady, only asking the lady to be able to teach the alchemy technique in the next three or five when the lady was free. "Li Jingliu had just heard from his buddy that this Lady Lingxin seemed to be successful in refining medicine, and as a monk, if her cultivation was not good, the pill could indeed make up for it. There will be an alchemist standing in front of him, whether it is successful or not, it is better to give it a try.
To say that women are willing to listen to compliments, Mrs. Lingxin is no exception, although with her appearance, there is no shortage of such compliments on weekdays, but Li Jingliu's youth-like face revealed a piece of innocence, a piece of simple admiration, sincerity, Mrs. Lingxin accepted, she hooked her lips and smiled, and said: "Guest officer, if you want to learn alchemy with your concubine, your sincerity is not enough." ”
"What kind of sincerity do you dare to ask? As long as Madame says, I will do my best. In one sentence, it was so categorical that even Li Jingliu himself believed it. In the face of women, especially beautiful women, it seems that he can make any determination.
"Really?" Lady Lingxin leaned on the low table and rubbed slightly, her movements lazy and full of strange temptations like a big cat.
"Never give up!"
"Then~ you will send the little monk back to the mountain gate~"
"What?" Li Jingliu didn't believe his ears a little, this Mrs. Lingxin had something to do with the little monk before?
"Nothing, are you willing to do it?"
"Since Mrs. said it, I am naturally willing, but after the matter is completed, I hope that Mrs. will remember today's promise. ”
"This is natural, of course, the spirit grass you took out before was also to be taken away as a concubine for learning art~ As for the phantom body, I will give it to you as a meeting gift. As she spoke, Mrs. Lingxin took out a wooden box wrapped in red flannel from the void, and inside was the phantom body.
"Madam, this sea market is drifting, I don't know how to find Mrs. in the future?" This is a problem, what should I do if this lady doesn't admit it, and there will be nowhere to find it when the time comes.
"Ah~ The concubine's memory has really declined a little recently, and she has forgotten such an important thing. Mrs. Lingxin held her forehead slightly, her movements were charming, and then, she took out a palm-sized delicate woodcut compass, handed it to Li Jingliu, and said: "This is the compass that guides the sea market, and when the sea market appears, this compass will guide the direction." ”
After a stick of incense, Li Jingliu, who had handed over everything, walked out of the door with a disdainful gaze from the white-eyed old man, and outside, he was waiting for the little monk from before. The little monk seemed to have changed his clothes at this time, it was still the soapcloth monk's robe from the previous mold, but this one was much cleaner, and the damage that was torn before was gone.
As soon as he saw the little monk, Li Jingliu took out the meeting gift given by Mrs. Lingxin before, handed it to the little monk, and said: "I can return this wishful thinking to you, you can take it well, and don't look for me again if it is bad." ”
Xiao Hesheng bit his lip, took the box, examined it carefully, and stuffed it back into the original baggage, but at this time, he carried the burden in front of him, as if to prevent all possible threats.
"That, why don't I send you to send that Ruyi, right?" Li Jingliu saw that the little monk was silent, and made a blunt proposal for a long time.
"Why? What do you want to do?" The first sentence was still questionable, but the latter sentence suddenly became a little defensive, and it seemed that the little monk obviously thought that Li Jingliu had bad intentions.
"Hey~ Look at this Ruyi, it's what we took a lot of effort to get back, right, although I've only seen a few times, but I also have some feelings for this Ruyi, I'm really not willing to leave him, besides, I'm not worried about you going on the road alone, what if you encounter any ghosts and ghosts?"
The little monk was slightly happy in his heart, although this person was a little bad, but he didn't care about me? He didn't want me to encounter any accidents, so he wanted to send me away? Thinking of this, he seemed to be a little happier again.
So, the little monk snorted: "Then you can come with me, the place I want to go to is the Emperor Girl Mountain, far away from here." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I can take you with you, it's much faster than your broken bowl. ”
"That's not a broken bowl! It's the Seven Treasures Purple Gold Bowl that Master gave me, and it's flying slowly...... It's just because ......" In the end, the little monk's voice lowered.
"You're not good at cultivating, aren't you?sigh~It's okay~I'll take you~"
