What is it like to watch strange people come and go on the streets of a strange city?

Qiu Peng walked on the street, experiencing the feeling of novelty, movement, and strangeness in his heart, and at the same time feeling the hustle and bustle of this bustling metropolis in the martial arts.

"Ah, you are tourists from other places," the stall owner who stood on the street selling drinks, looked at Qiu Peng and Siyu, the two young people in clothes, and said kindly: "I think you should go to the three streets of Xicheng to take a stroll, where to sell old goods, antiques, and iǎ goods." You can buy some cheap things there to take home as a commemoration of the year, and it is not easy to make some money. If you have to visit places of interest, the current Mén ticket is worth a lot of miles."

Qiu Peng no longer had the heart to listen to the iǎ stall owner muttering in the back, and led Siyu to stroll down the street excitedly, following the direction indicated by the iǎ stall owner.

It was true that Qiu Peng and Siyu looked very depressed now, but the two young men obviously didn't realize it at all.

The two of them walked around the street, and finally came to the downtown area of Xicheng.

Xicheng District is an area where the citizens of Féi City live. However, there is one famous attraction here, and that is the antique market there.

Every day, it attracts tens of thousands of people to come and go.

For Siyu, who has never seen anything, no matter what he sees, he will feel interested.

Qiu Peng himself doesn't care. Just looking up, feeling the warmth of the rippling water, and breathing in the lively atmosphere of the street, it is already a great pleasure to walk through the streets in this long and seemingly never-ending afternoon.

Suddenly, Qiu Peng's eyes fell on the stage of a vendor selling old goods. The vendor's table was filled with all sorts of things, including second-hand furniture, and some undated ancient vessels, measuring utensils, and some iǎ ornaments.

But what attracted Qiu Peng was not these, but an ancient book that was casually thrown in a corner at a thrift stall.

The book lay on the ground lù out of an iǎ corner, the folded cover, and the contents could be seen. What attracted Qiu Peng was not the content of the book, but the strange words on it.

Qiu Peng immediately recognized that the words in this book were the same as those in the ancient book in the Red Tower.

Qiu Peng's heart moved, walked over, squatted down, pretended to be careless and took the ancient book, opened it, and sure enough, the whole text was the same font as the ancient book. It looks very old, the paper has turned yellow and brittle, and there are many broken corners and so on.

Qiu Peng said lightly: "These words are very strange, do you know these words?"

The stall owner looked at Qiu Peng and shook his head and said, "How do I know." Do you want it? Make a price, and sell it if you give money. ”

Qiu Peng smiled and said: "I just feel curious, but in fact, I don't know either." Where are you from?"

The stall owner scratched his head and said, "Who knows! It is said that a mercenary found it somewhere. It is said that the guy once went to a very mysterious place to do a mission, and finally came back with such a thing. ”

Qiu Peng deliberately made a sneering expression and said, "It's really fake?"

The stall owner sighed and said, "How do I know this? Anyway, people told me that this thing was just asked me to sell it." You make an offer, if you have a sincere heart. ”

Qiu Peng said tentatively: "Then ...... A greenstone coin bar. ”

Qiu Peng thought that the price was low enough, but when he saw the stall owner's excited look, Qiu Peng knew that he was wrong: "Cheng Jiā!" At this time, when the two people were talking to each other, a person behind Qiu Peng let out a surprised cry, and then he immediately walked to Qiu Peng's side, squatted down, and shouted again: "Hey! This is the text of the ancients, and it is still complete." ”

Qiu Peng turned his head to see that it was an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, slightly shorter than ordinary people, but his body was very stout, he looked very funny, and he had a long beard that hung down to the front of him, his long hair was tied up behind his head, he was wearing a high hat on his head, and he was wearing a wide glittering robe, which looked quite imposing, like a person of status.

The old man muttered to himself: "This thing is interesting, I come here every day, why didn't I find it, hey, boss, how much do you want for this thing?"

The stall owner was surprised and said, "Could it be that this old gentleman knows this kind of writing?"

The old man squinted his eyes and said with a grin: "Where, where, how can I recognize it?" It's just that I like to collect these things, and usually take them out to show off to others, it's just fun. So, I'll buy a greenstone coin, okay? ”

As he spoke, the old man was about to reach out and take it away from Qiu Peng's hand. Qiu Peng noticed that although the old man pretended not to care much about the ancient book, in fact, his jī expression, eager eyes, and slightly trembling hand when he grabbed the ancient book already showed that he was very interested in this ancient book.

Qiu Peng's heart moved and said: "I'm sorry, this old gentleman, do you have to come first and come first?" I have already negotiated with this boss, if you want to buy this ancient book, even if you want to buy it, I should say no to buy it first, so you can buy it, right?"

The old man was stunned when he heard Qiu Peng's words, and slowly let go of the hand that grabbed the ancient book, and looked reluctant, but he still said on his lips: "Ha, in fact, this thing is useless." If you like it, take it. But I also have some hesitation to buy such a waste with the money of a greenstone coin, do you say" Qiu Peng ignored his nagging, turned his head to the stall owner and said: "I bought this ancient book, this is a greenstone coin." ”

The old man originally thought that seeing that Qiu Peng was wearing shabby clothes, he should not be able to take out at least a greenstone coin, and even if he could take it out, he would not use it to buy a useless ancient book, but now he saw that Qiu Peng had really bought that ancient book, and he became very anxious.

Qiu Peng stretched out his hand to take the ancient book, smiled at the old man with a smile, turned around and pulled Siyu away.

"Wait a minute!" the old man hurriedly stopped Qiu Peng, with a kind smile on his face, "Brother iǎ, you really have good eyesight. I've never met a young man as studious as you. ”

"Thanks. "Qiu Peng is really sorry for his words now. He wouldn't say a word. The old man took another step forward, looked at Qiu Peng in a low voice and smiled flatteringly: "Brother iǎ, you see that I still like your ancient book very much, you can't read it anyway, otherwise you can transfer it to me, okay? Otherwise, you can lend it to me first, and let me copy another copy, right?"

"I'm busy. Qiu Peng made a very cold appearance, turned around and was about to leave.

The old man hurriedly said, "Wait a minute," and then straightened his waist, and said with a solemn look, "Do you know who I am?"

Qiu Peng shook his head, and the old man stroked his beard and said very majestically: "I am the famous, mighty, and famous Hong Jigong. Now you get the idea, right?"

After speaking, the so-called Hong Jigong raised his head very confidently, looked at the sky, and pinched his beard with his right hand, as if after he reported this name, Qiu Peng would kneel in front of him like a god, ask for his forgiveness, and present the ancient book in his hand.

It's a pity that Qiu Peng didn't react in the slightest, just looked at him like a madman, turned around and left.

Hong Jigong didn't care about his demeanor, so he hurriedly ran up and grabbed Qiu Peng, and asked in surprise: "Wait a minute! When you hear my name, don't you even show me a little of your admiration?" Qiu Peng turned his head and gave Hong Jigong a wicked smile. "Which Jīng Divine Hospital are you from, do you want me to send you back?"
