Chapter 18 The Man Who Buys the Books of the Library of Books
Luo Jiang went to the mountains again on the third day, but returned in one morning, and boiled the fourth pot of medicinal juice in the afternoon.
Coming out of the potion bucket, Luo Jiang waved his arm, although he was still ribs, his strength had increased a lot. His strength now is three times that of the Diamond Demon when he didn't encounter it.
"Rookie, there is only one pair of medicinal herbs left, you need to buy it again, and that chestnut bow, the amount of strength you use is too small, you need to change it to a new one. The Ling Demon suddenly appeared and said.
Luo Jiang suddenly made a bitter face, "After buying the bow last time, I still have forty taels of silver left, which is too stretched to use." I want to buy medicinal materials, but I can't use them all up, seeing that there is still more than a month of scientific research, I want to go back to Nanyang Provincial City, and I need to be entangled on the road. ”
"It's really troublesome to have a poor ghost on the stall. The Ling Demon muttered, thought for a while, and continued: "These three times into the mountain, the harvested pig teeth, roe deer skin, and a few unused medicinal herbs, after these are sold, it should be enough for you to go home." ...... Oh yes, last time I was lucky enough to meet a buck with antlers that hadn't grown into tender horns, and the antler antlers I got should be able to sell for a lot of silver. Deer antler velvet has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the yang, producing lean blood, replenishing the marrow and strengthening the bones, and many wealthy men in the city need it. ”
Luo Jiang twitched the corners of his mouth, and said to the Ling Demon with disdain: "When you say 'tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, and generating lean blood', can you not deserve a very cheap expression?"
"The demon master is teaching you how to make silver taels from this waste wood, but you are talking to the demon master like this, and it is becoming less and less big or small. The Ling Demon said very dissatisfied.
Luo Jiang folded his fingers and counted for a while, "Go buy two pairs of medicinal materials, as for the bow, hold it off for now, and then buy a good bow when you have the silver." ”
Ling Demon opened his mouth, dissatisfied with Luo Jiang's refusal to buy 10,000 bows, but in the end he only held back one sentence, "Poor ghost, it's really troublesome!"
Luo Jiang took everything that could be sold, went down the mountain, and went to the street where he was familiar with the medicinal materials, entered the "Baicaotang" where he went last time, bought two pairs of medicinal materials, and sold the deer antler velvet and a few medicinal materials he picked himself, in exchange for eight taels of silver.
Coming out of the "Baicao Hall", Luo Jiang picked up the two pairs of medicinal materials in his hand, frowned, and said: "Now I only have more than eight taels of silver on me, which is just enough to return to Nanyang's coiling." ”
"It's really troublesome!" Ling Demon complained again, "I want to think about how beautiful the demon master was back then, and now I have to spend the night on you, and I have to worry about a few taels of silver, it's really unlucky." ”
"You are beautiful, haven't you entered the Town Demon Tower?" Luo Jiang shot back, and then walked towards the street where grocery stores and ready-to-wear stores were stored.
Ready-to-wear stores sell fabrics, ready-to-wear, and boots, while grocery stores sell everything. Luo Jiang glanced down at the unpolished boots on his feet and walked into a ready-to-wear shop.
Luo Jiang's green shirt was crumpled because he had entered the mountains several times, and he didn't look good, and he was carrying the skin of his robe and two wild boar teeth in his hand, like a hunter. At the same time, the ready-to-wear shop he walked into was high-end, and there was no attendant who came up to greet him for a while.
Everyone in the shop, including the waiter and the owner, all circled around the two customers in the shop.
There are coffee tables, tables and chairs in the innermost part of the shop, which are used to entertain distinguished guests, and only one person is sitting at this time, and even the owner of the ready-to-wear shop is standing on the side.
The seated man was dressed in a silk dark robe, just bowed his head and drank tea, frowning from time to time, as if the tea did not fit his mouth. However, this is the best tea in the shop.
There was a fat middle-aged man standing beside him, who was also graceful, but he regarded himself as a person and instructed the people in the ready-to-wear shop: "It is your honor to make clothes for our master, to use the best fabric, the best tailor, the most careful sewing, do you know the way?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the owner of the ready-to-wear shop nodded repeatedly, and the attendant on the side was not even qualified to speak.
Encountering such a scene, Luo Jiang naturally took a look curiously, the few times he had entered Wucheng, it was the first time he had seen such a high-profile person.
Through the gap in the crowd, in his eyes, the person sitting upright was extremely young, only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but he had a good temperament, and he was even more noble than the sons and brothers he saw when he lived in the capital.
The young man scraped the tea foam with the tea cup cover, and suddenly his nose moved slightly, and when he raised his head, he fixed his eyes on Luo Jiang, to be exact, on the skin of the robe in Luo Jiang's hand.
The skin of the robe was dry and stiff, and it exuded a fishy smell slightly, but he didn't expect the young man's nose to be more sensitive than a dog, and he actually smelled it.
The young man slapped the teacup on the table with a snap, waved his hand and said to the fat steward beside him, "Drive that person out of the city." ”
The owner of the ready-to-wear shop suddenly changed his face when he heard this, and hurriedly glanced at one of the attendants. This attendant was the most clever one in the store, and immediately understood what the boss meant, and came to Luo Jiang's side.
"This guest officer, if you have any needs, just pick it quickly, our store has a distinguished guest today, and it is inconvenient to entertain you. The squire said with a stiff smile.
Luo Jiang couldn't help but sneer, "How fast, you always have to try to buy something." ”
The attendant was about to speak, but Luo Jiang waved his hand to interrupt it, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.
Coming out of the ready-to-wear shop, Luo Jiang half-tilted his head, exhaled into the air, and did not act as a hero afterwards, saying anything big, but just sighed: "In this realistic world, there are always things that happen when a dog looks down on people, and only if you stand tall enough will you not be looked at." ”
"Hmm? One is prosperous, one is lost, I was kicked out of the store, why didn't the demon run out to speak? At least it will hit me. Doubts flashed in Luo Jiang's heart.
Thinking of the Ling Demon, the voice of the Ling Demon sounded in Luo Jiang Zhihai, "Since the Demon Master came out of the tower, it is the first time I have seen someone in the Qi training period. ”
"Qi training period?"
Luo Jiang was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "You mean that there are people in the grocery store who have a Qi cultivation period?" Who is it?...... The man in his twenties?"
The Rhombic nodded, "Well, that's him." ”
"Is the Qi cultivation period very powerful?" Luo Jiang asked.
"Amazing, awesome! In the past, the demon master didn't even bother to look at it. ”
Ling Demon said unceremoniously, but after a while, he rubbed his hair painfully, "But now, for the sake of insurance, the demon master still has to be careful, it's really aggrieved." ”
Luo Jiang pursed his lips, thinking that the Ling Demon was bragging, but seeing a person in the Qi training period aroused his curiosity again.
I only heard the Ling Demon continue: "Speaking of which, that person has just stepped into the Qi training period, but the path seems to be a little crooked, and it can't even be regarded as the Qi training period." ...... What are you doing so curious? Didn't I say it, you're just a rookie, and you haven't even finished quenching, so it's useless to tell you. ...... But don't worry, as long as you practice Qingniu Boxing well, you will still be able to knock you down with one punch if you are caught off guard during the general Qi training period. ”
Luo Jiang thought to himself, the reason why the Ling Demon was hiding the secret of the Qi cultivation period must be waiting to blackmail himself in the future, no matter how he asked, he would not say it, so he gave up.
Luo Jiang walked into another ready-to-wear shop again. And a moment after he left, the young man and the white fat steward of the ready-to-wear shop just now walked out.
The two walked out of the shop, and the attendants immediately exploded the pot and began to talk about it.
"Whew, I can finally gasp for air, that person was here just now, I was almost holding my breath, suffocating me. ”
"Whoever says no, I feel the same way. There are enough people in our shop, but I've never seen a person who can bring such pressure. ”
"By the way, boss, who is this person?"
The owner of the ready-to-wear shop sat down on a chair and said, "Who it is, I don't know what it is, but I heard that the person from the capital has a noble identity." Look at the head of the Bai family, he is the richest man in Wucheng, but in front of that person, he is still respectful. ”
Let's not talk about the talk of the people in the ready-to-wear shop, but the object of the conversation came to the street outside, and the young man waved his hand lightly and asked the head of the Bai family to retreat.
The young man rubbed the white jade wrench in his hand and whispered to himself: "It's really troublesome, I've read more than half of the books I got from the Fawang Temple, but I haven't found anything at all. ”
......
