Chapter 65: The Girl and the Secret Letter (text)
The girl's stall is very remote, and there are not only few items for sale in her stall, but also nothing good, so after half a day, no one comes to ask. This made the girl seem out of place in her surroundings, and she looked very pitiful and lonely.
When the girl saw Wu Yan asking her, she smiled shyly at Wu Yan, and hurriedly waved her hand and whispered: "Dao, fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand, this kind of seed is not an elixir seed, I accidentally found it when I was collecting medicine in an unknown valley, I originally thought it was an elixir seed that I didn't know." Unfortunately, after going back and being identified, people said that this was an unknown poison ivy seed that had been buried in the ground for hundreds of years and had been petrified. If you like something else and buy it, this bag of seeds can be given to you for free. ”
Wu Yan picked up a seed and put it in front of him to look at it carefully, with a trace of doubt and incomprehension on his face. This kind of seed, the size of a broad bean, is as black as a stone, inconspicuous, pinched in his hand, very hard, Wu Yan even tried to pinch it with great strength, but he couldn't pinch that kind of seed at all.
The girl saw Wu Yan pinching that kind of seed vigorously, and the action was funny, she couldn't help but chuckle, and immediately realized her gaffe, hurriedly covered her mouth shyly, and said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist, this kind of seed can't be pinched." Even if it is blessed with a giant force, it will not be able to damage it in the slightest. ”
Wu Yan nodded noncommittally, and then put the seed back into the small bag. Then, he casually looked at the other things on the girl's stall, but chatted intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know what to call you? Seeing that you are so young and going out alone, aren't the family worried?"
The girl was asked this kind of private question at first glance, and she looked a little helpless, her face turned even redder, as if she could drip water, and said in the middle of her mouth: "This, this, Daoyou, you ......"
"Alas, isn't it just asking for a name? What's so embarrassing, my name is Wu Yan, girl, you don't think I'm some kind of villain?" Wu Yan looked at the girl funny, quite funny, this girl was almost as shy as the beautiful girl I saw outside the valley yesterday. It's just that her appearance is a little worse than that beautiful girl, and her temperament is more pure and lovely.
"I, I, my name is An Yingying, I sneaked out by myself. I heard that you can trade things here, so I wanted to see it. The girl spit out her lilac tongue, pink and cute, Wu Yan was stunned, and wanted to shave her cute little Qiong's nose, but thinking of this behavior, Meng Lang coughed a few times, resisted the impulse, and pointed to a broken book on the stall and said, "Miss An, how do you sell this "Book of Plants and Trees"?"
Flipping through a few pages, Wu Yan found that this was a book that recorded the types and styles of spirit grass and spirit trees common in the immortal cultivation world, but the first half was somehow missing, and the second half was also a little incomplete. If it weren't for the fact that the book was encapsulated with three metal strips, the title of the book would have been engraved on the metal book cover, and I am afraid that even the title of the book would not have been known. It's just strange that the metal book cover, I don't know what kind of metal it is, the lead gray book cover is stained with black and red rust. The girl still took it out and sold it.
When the girl saw Wu Yan pointing to the broken book and asking her, her face turned red again, she probably knew that this book was too shabby and old, and she was a little embarrassed to open her mouth. The girl probably regretted it, why did she take out such a broken scripture book and sell it. But since Wu Yan asked, she couldn't help but answer, so she replied in a light voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is, it is a book that I picked up in the valley where I found that kind of seed, but it really records a lot of maps of spiritual grass and spiritual trees, many of which have been lost for a long time, if you want it, you can give a spirit stone." ”
Wu Yan immediately smiled bitterly, this girl is really an outlet. Just this half of the broken book, and it is a broken book that I don't know if it is useful, it will cost a spirit stone, no wonder no one has been interested in her stall.
Wu Yan stood up, shook his head at An Yingying with a smile, and planned to turn around and leave. An Yingying finally ran into a guest, but when she saw that she was scared by her asking price and was leaving, she hurriedly stood up and grabbed Wu Yan's arm, and said with an uneasy face: "This Tao, well, Brother Wu Yan, please buy these things." I sneaked out alone, and the money on my body was also spent, and the only two spirit stones were also collected and paid by them when I came in. Otherwise, or I will sell you this spirit worm gourd and this "Spirit Worm Spectrum" as well, and count you a total of five spirit stones, okay? This gourd and "Spirit Worm Spectrum" were left to me by my grandfather when he was dying, I am penniless now, I really want to go home, please, Brother Wu, please help me, okay?"
The girl may really be as she said, she sneaked out without permission and got to this miserable end. Originally, there were still two spirit stones, and they were ignorantly pitted by the Immortal Valley Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
Wu Yan smiled bitterly and wanted to get rid of the girl's entanglement, but the girl An Yingying might be really afraid of him leaving, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to meet a guest who was willing to come to her stall to inquire, so she blushed and grabbed Wu Yan's arm, begging with a face full of begging.
"Miss An, what do you want? It's not good for you to be seen like this. Won't you try to contact your family and get them to come to you?"
An Yingying lowered her head shyly, and muttered like a mosquito: "I, I just want to come out and see the outside world." Besides, before my grandfather died, he gave me the spirit worm gourd and the "Spirit Worm Spectrum", I don't know if it is useful, I just want to try, catch some spirit insects by myself, raise them and see, who knows, how do you know that after it comes out, there are so many bad people, deceive other people's money, and want to take advantage of others, alas, I really regret coming out......"
Wu Yan was completely speechless by what happened to this girl this time. There are people in the world whose hearts are as pure as paper. After thinking about it, Wu Yan gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision, then grabbed An Yingying's soft and white little hand and motioned for her to let go. An Yingying was mistaken, she was held by Wu Yan's little hand, her little face was blushing and dripping blood, and she panicked, but she heard Wu Yan sigh in her ear and said, "That's it, Miss An, I'll give you three spirit stones, and then give you some gold, and buy these things you just said." Count me unlucky, how did I meet such a cute and poor girl as you, alas, forget it, you took the money and spirit stones, let's go home quickly, a girl is always very dangerous when she goes out. ”
"Huh?" An Yingying looked at Wu Yan in disbelief, but she didn't expect him to really be willing to buy his own things.
"Why, don't you sell it? Wu Yan pinched his nose and smiled.
"Sell, sell, hee-hee, thank you, Brother Wu, you are such a good person. I'll pack up your things for you. An Yingying was overjoyed, and hurriedly cleaned up the things on the ground, then wrapped the small bag containing more than 100 poison ivy seeds and the broken "Grass and Tree Sutra" together, and took out a half-old book and a fist-sized dark red gourd from the storage bag, and handed them to Wu Yan. Wu Yan put these things away in one go, and when he saw An Yingying looking at him with a pair of big watery eyes, he smiled, took out three spirit stones and more than a dozen gold leaves from his storage bag, and stuffed them into An Yingying's hands.
Shaking An Yingying's soft and boneless little hand, Wu Yan smiled bitterly: "Miss An, go back quickly, be careful on the road, don't be deceived by bad people again." ”
An Yingying hummed softly, pulled out her little hand with a red face, turned her head and walked happily towards the exit of the trading field. After walking more than a dozen steps away, he turned back and giggled at Wu Yan, who was standing in place, like a happy deer, bouncing away.
Wu Yan rubbed his nose and smiled helplessly. Now there is still a spirit stone left in the storage bag, and it is estimated that he can't buy anything, and after turning around, he thought of the things that the black-clothed young man Lu Cangshan quietly handed him, so he walked around the valley for a while and returned to his quiet room.
Back in the quiet room, Wu Yan closed the stone door, and carefully checked the quiet room inside and out, confirming that there were no loopholes that might be left for surveillance, and then he carefully took out the things that Lu Cangshan gave him, and looked at them carefully under the candlelight.
The thing is very ordinary, it is a small piece of bamboo. However, this small piece of bamboo is blood-red all over and is called Blood Jade Bamboo. This bamboo has a special function, it can exude a faint fragrance, this fragrance is very similar to the smell of sandalwood, smelling it can make people calm down, and it is an ornament that monks often wear on their bodies.
Although there is only half of this bamboo ornament in his hand, Wu Yan is very familiar with it, this is Lu Cang'er's thing. He had seen it on Lu Cang'er's body more than once.
On the bamboo piece, there is a small black letter, which looks like it was hastily carved by a person with a special technique. After Wu Yan saw the crooked word "escape" on the bamboo chip, his expression changed from calm to gloomy.
Lu Cang'er was clearly telling him that someone wanted to be unfavorable to him and told him to flee quickly. As for why Lu Cang'er didn't tell him in person, but informed him with this secret contact method, Wu Yan guessed that Lu Cang'er might be tied up by something or watched by someone now. But no matter what the situation is, it is by no means good news for Wu Yan.
After thinking about it, Wu Yan couldn't figure out who would deal with him and why he should deal with him. Since he entered the valley, he hadn't divulged any secrets on his body, could it be that just because he was unwilling to join the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, he provoked the pursuit of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance?
It doesn't seem to make sense, right? How can there be such a domineering thing in the world? How can there be such a domineering organization?
That Lu Cang'er was one of the six elders of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, but he was able to take the risk to inform himself in such a situation, and Wu Yan was deeply moved. Speaking of which, the two still met because of their fighting methods. He subdued Lu Cang'er with poison by improper means, and although he did not shy away from detoxifying him afterwards, he won Lu Cang'er's favor, but Wu Yan didn't dare to think that he could have any friendship with Lu Cang'er with this.
Wu Yan put away the half of the blood jade bamboo, stood up, paced back and forth in the quiet room, touched his chin, and his face was cloudy and uncertain thinking about something. After a while, he seemed to have a plan, sneered, sat back on the stone bed indifferently, took out the things he bought today, and slowly looked through them one by one.
