Volume 1 Qinglong Jade Chapter 2 Qiankun Continent
In the late autumn of the Qiankun Continent, the snow has slowly fallen from the sky, and this year's snow is earlier than in previous years!
After Accra took Su Xuemei's money and left, he quickly ran into a medicinal herb shop, gasped and said, "Boss, my grandfather is sick, please prescribe medicine for me, okay?"
The boss was looking down to settle the score, and when he heard Accra's voice, the corners of his mouth immediately showed the arc of a smile, and his eyes were slit. But when I looked up and saw Accra, I was immediately angry, and I pulled my beard and glared, I wanted to say that the stinky beggar came from there?
But he lowered his tone and asked, "Do you have any money?" The money for prescribing medicine is very expensive, if you don't have money, you better leave quickly, don't disturb my business." ”
Accra touched his arms and took out a coin from it, the boss's eyes suddenly lit up, and the smile reappeared, and the mustache with small eyes made people feel funny.
The reason why the boss is like this is because Accra took out a golden Qiankun coin. In the Qiankun Continent, Qiankun coins are generally divided into three types, namely gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. One gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins and 10,000 copper coins. Then there are the purple gold coins that are difficult for ordinary people to see. One Purple Gold Coin is equal to 100 Gold Coins, 10,000 Silver Coins, and 1,000,000 Copper Coins. In the Qiankun Continent, an ordinary family is calculated according to a family of five, and the annual consumption expenditure is about 4 gold coins, and one purple gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to live for 25 years. Now the boss saw Accra take out a gold coin, and the excitement in his eyes could be imagined.
I thought to myself where Accra's money came from, and it couldn't be a rich boy who pretended to be a beggar to make fun of me? If the boss knew that there were actually nine gold coins and one purple gold coin in Accra's arms, he would definitely kill him.
Accra, who lives at the bottom of society, does not know the value of purple gold coins, but he still knows the preciousness of gold coins, and now he has a total of one purple gold coins in his arms, nine gold coins, which are enough for him to live with the old beggar for nearly half a century.
Su Xuemei used to put the money in a small purse and gave it to Accra, but Accra didn't count it at that time, and only then did she find out and look at it, and she was immediately frightened by Accra, but after a short hesitation, Accra was firm, and when she grew up, she must find this little girl, repay her kindness, and return the money to Su Xuemei several times.
The current Accra didn't know the value of the purple gold coin, and if he knew, maybe he wouldn't have easily promised Su Xuemei to pay her back.
"Okay, there's no problem, hehe, what is your grandfather's illness?" said the shopkeeper with a smile, now his mind was only on the gold coins in Accra.
"My grandfather, suddenly coughing, sometimes feverish, sometimes cold, his face was blue and white, and then he would be delirious. Accra thought for a moment and said, in fact, he was a little scared, because he had never been to these places before, and he was begging in some fixed places every day to make a living, so it can be said that his social experience was almost zero.
"Oh, this way, it's a bit tricky to say this, in this way, I'll prescribe some medicine for you first, and you go back and boil it into a potion for your grandfather to drink, three times a day, for three days in a row, and if it doesn't get better, then you can bring him to me, and I'll give him further treatment." The owner of the pharmacy said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, boss!" Acra was surprised in his heart, and the disdain that the boss had just looked at him had already forgotten because of this joy.
As he spoke, the boss lowered his head and wrote a prescription on the paper, and called the guys in the store to grab the medicine according to the prescription. In a short time, Accra took the medicine and ran out of the pharmacy as fast as he could, and soon came to his and the old beggar's residence.
With the rapid development of the Qiankun Continent now, basically the people can live and work in peace and contentment. But there is a saying that the poor are poorer and the rich are richer. People at the bottom of society like Accra are everywhere.
There are a total of four countries in the Qiankun Continent, respectively asking the Xuanwu Empire in the north, which is now the empire where Accra is located, the White Tiger Empire in the west, the Vermilion Bird Empire in the south, and the Qinglong Empire in the east. In addition to the four major families, there are countless schools, among which the relatively eye-catching ones are Impressionism, Void School, Fengyan Valley, Shui Shi Pavilion and so on. There are several academies in each country, among which the most famous in the Xuanwu Empire are Leighton Academy and Xuanwu Royal Academy.
The power of the four major families is the largest in all countries except for the royal family, and even the strength of some families can be on par with the royal family, or even surpass it.
There is an island in the center of the four countries, called "Dharami Sea", there is an island in the center of the Dharami Sea, and there is a sect in the middle of the island, called "Dharami Religion", which is the real core rule of the entire Qiankun Continent.
30,000 years ago, Dharamiism already existed, but at that time, the strength of Dharamiism was not as strong as that of the four major countries, and there would be constant friction with the four countries all year round. The forces of the Four Kingdoms have been suppressing the Dharami Sect, but just 20,000 years ago, a peerless martial arts wizard suddenly appeared in the Dharami Sect, with extraordinary talent, and finally became the leader of the Dharami Sect.
The leaders of the past generations are all women, usually called the priests, but the leader of this generation is a man, under his hard work, the Dharami religion has developed rapidly, and its strength has surpassed the four countries in just one hundred years, becoming the real ruler of the Qiankun Continent, and the pilgrimage of the four countries is extremely complicated.
Unfortunately, at that time, the leader of the Dharami Sect suddenly disappeared, and no one in the Qiankun Continent knew where he went.
Strange to say, after that, the power of Dharami not only did not weaken, but became stronger and stronger.
Until finally he became the unshakable ruler of the Qiankun Continent, although the countries continued to have wars for many years, but under the control of Dharamiism, the people of all countries still lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the countries developed relatively steadily.
"Old beggar, I'm back, guess what I brought you?" Accra's mood was incomparably happy now, because he had bought medicine, and as long as there was medicine, the old beggar's illness would get better day by day, which was the main reason why Accra was happy.
The old beggar is his only relative, and the old beggar has been by his side since Accra was conscious, and the two depend on each other for their lives. The name Accra was also given by an old beggar, and Accra only knew "carat", which means "energy".
"You're not going to bring back a big chicken leg, haha, I can already smell the smell of chicken legs, come on, bring it to me to taste. Click......" said the old beggar and coughed again, his lips turned white, and his yellowed face looked weak.
"Old beggar, your nose is still the same, and you know what it is when you smell it. But today you are still a little wrong, not only did I come back with chicken legs, but I also brought medicine, as long as you take these medicines, you will definitely be able to get better, hehe. "Accra couldn't be happier right now. The two depended on each other, and only the old beggar was the one he trusted the most.
"Really, where did you get the money, you wouldn't steal it, would you?" the old beggar turned pale when he said this, and coughed, and suddenly coughed up a pool of blood.
"Old beggar, what's wrong with you, don't scare me, don't get excited, these medicinal materials are not stolen by me, but ......." Accra said what had happened before, and the old beggar let out an "oh", sighed and lay down to continue to rest. Accra went out to boil medicine, and just after Accra went out, the old beggar said to himself, "Is it time?"
The place where the two lived was a dilapidated old temple that leaked every rainy day, but the two of them lived in such a place for six years, and this year Accra is nine years old, but it looks like six years old, in fact, it is caused by long-term malnutrition.
The old beggar was alone inside, looking at the delicious chicken legs on the side, but he was reluctant to eat them. Hearing only the sound of Accra being busy outside, the old beggar sighed again and closed his eyes.
After a while, Accra came in with a bowl of hot medicine, and when he saw the old beggar looking at him with his eyes open, Accra hurriedly put the medicine on the stone bench, went to help the old beggar, and said, "Old beggar, I will help you up and take medicine, and your illness will soon be cured after taking medicine." ”
"Hehe, okay, I'll drink, I'll drink. The old beggar said with a smile.
Before Accra could say, "Be careful." The old beggar had already drunk a large bowl of medicine boiled by Accra in one gulp, and then exhaled a long breath. He looked at Accra, wiped the ash from his face with his hand, and continued, "Accra?"
"Well, what's the matter? old beggar!"
"Do you want to take the path of martial arts?"
"Learn martial arts? Why do you want to learn martial arts? Besides, people who learn martial arts are all fighting and killing, how bad it is, I don't like to learn martial arts. Although our life is very hard now, in a few years, when I grow up, I will go and find a good job, and then work hard to make money, and then we can eat big steamed buns every day, and we don't have to beg every day to make a living like now. Accra said, looking at the doorway of the ruined temple.
Hearing Accra say this, the old beggar didn't know why, his heart suddenly beat violently, and then he smiled and said, "Good, good, good, it's okay if you don't learn martial arts." ”
The old beggar said four good words in succession, and Accra was puzzled for a while, and said, "Well, old beggar, you lie down and rest, and I will go out to pick up some dry firewood, and wait for the evening to make a fire." ”
"Go ahead, be careful!"
Accra went out, and the old beggar's eyes showed deep reluctance, and then a voice said, "Let's go, we should go." As he spoke, a figure floated out from behind the Buddha statue and disappeared in a flash, and then the old beggar glanced around him with bloodshot eyes at the place where he and Accra had lived, and then sighed and disappeared in a flash.
Accra would have been surprised to see the two of them disappear into thin air.
