Chapter 251: Challenge Book (I)
One street runs through the entire town, and there are no other streets, although the crowd is crowded at this time, with Ling Xuan's eyesight, he can still see the head at a glance, the disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect has not yet descended the mountain.
He had lived in this town for some time, so he naturally knew that every day the Heavenly Sword Sect would send disciples down the mountain to purchase. The Heavenly Sword Sect and other major sects, unlike the previous Polar Sect, are self-sufficient, and it doesn't matter if they don't go down the mountain for ten years or a hundred years. However, the Heavenly Sword Sect is well-connected, and there are thousands of people living in the Tianshan Mountains alone.
To be able to live in the Tianshan Mountains, they are all disciples who have cultivated to a high level, but they are far from the realm of Bigu, but they also need to eat, drink, and Lazar like mortals. Although the Heavenly Sword Sect also has its own immortal fields to grow all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, and the scale is really not small, but the rations for thousands of people a day, what a huge number?
Self-sufficiency alone was obviously not enough, so the disciples in charge of the Fire Hall went down the mountain every day to make purchases. Especially in the future, there will be a wedding banquet in the sect, Ao Jiantian invites the world, what demons, what monsters are all invited, and the number of people is not 100,000 but also 80,000, such a terrifying number, food, drink, that is an astronomical number. In the past month, the Heavenly Sword Sect has gone down the mountain every day to make large-scale purchases, which has led to the commercial development of several surrounding towns in disguise.
Ling Xuan touched the letter that had already been prepared in his arms, thought about it, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was not in a hurry, and stood at the end of the street, watching the people coming and going, shouting, selling, quarrelling, and all kinds of bargaining voices mixed into a muddy and heavy sound that drifted unscrupulously in the town, although it was a harsh winter, but it was noisy and upset.
Ling Xuan stood at the end of the street like this, the sound poured into his ears like a violent wind, but he turned a deaf ear, seeing that the pedestrians on the street had a trace of irritation on their faces, but he always had a faint smile on his face, although he was in the flow of people, he looked out of place with the surrounding crowd.
When the first rays of golden light pierced the layers of dense fog and shone on the town, the three aunts and six women who got up early selected the freshest vegetables and fruits in their minds, and went home with a smile on their faces, and the crowded crowd gradually thinned out, but the goods of the small merchants and vendors on both sides did not decrease at all, but continued to put various commodities on the table in front of them, with a smile on their faces.
Sure enough, after a while, Ling Xuan saw a group of more than ten Heavenly Sword Sect disciples walking over from the other side of the street, Ling Xuan could see at a glance that these more than ten Heavenly Sword Sect disciples were all inner disciples, and the blue trim on the cyan Dao robe was unknown to mortals, but Ling Xuan knew, it was clearly the only way for inner disciples to wear.
However, it is not surprising that they can live in the Tianshan Mountain, which already shows that they are the inner disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Ye Bufan had already told Ling Xuan that only the inner disciples are qualified to live in the Tianshan Mountain.
A group of more than ten people with long swords at their waists, pushing seven or eight small carts, obviously used to load all kinds of goods purchased, but at this time the cart was empty, obviously nothing had been purchased, and they walked into the street with a bitter face. The people in the immortal sect are not good at cultivating immortal enlightenment, so they run down the mountain early in the morning to do such physical work, no wonder they have a bitter face.
The leader was a burly man about thirty years old, with a calm face, greeting the small merchants and vendors on both sides from time to time, and then throwing over a piece of silver, and the small merchant and vendor smiled and helped to move all his goods to the wooden carts of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
That person, Ling Xuan recognized, was the eldest disciple under the name of Hua Sihai, Huo Shangwu. He led the dozen or so disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect all the way, purchasing all the way, and everywhere he passed, the goods on both sides were all purchased by him, he didn't look at what it was, and when he saw the small trader, he threw a piece of silver over, and it was considered to have completed the transaction, and then it was a long and hard transportation.
Huo Shangwu had a bitter face, too, if he picked up such a drudgery, I am afraid that no one would be happy, not to mention that he was the first big disciple of the dignified Tianfeng to sit down in the four seas, and he was actually assigned to the drudgery of going down the mountain to procure. He also deserves his bad luck, since Hua Sihai was poisoned by the drunken immortals, he has been in retreat and detoxification, although his life is worry-free, but he can't get out of the customs in a short time, and the affairs of Zhengtian Peak fell on Huo Shangwu's head.
When selecting inner disciples more than half a year ago, Hua Sihai encountered a sneak attack by the remnants of the Ghost Yin Sect's disciple Charm Spirit, not only did Hua seem to be poisoned by the poison of the drunken immortals, but Hua Cuicui even stumbled and fell off the cliff, and her life and death were uncertain. Huo Shangwu was in a hurry, and took the initiative to call the shots, mobilizing nearly a thousand disciples up and down Zhengtian Peak to look around.
The Heavenly Sword Sect has a clear rule that the transfer of more than 100 people must be personally commanded by the head of each peak, and the transfer of more than 500 people must be ordered by the sect master himself.
Huo Shangwu was in a hurry, it was regarded as a big hole, and then Hua Cuicui returned safely, Huo Shangwu suddenly woke up and summoned the people who were urgently deployed back, but how could such a major event be concealed from Ao Jiantian? Without waiting for the sect master to ask for the guilt, he himself first went to Ao Tian Peak to take the blame, Ao Jian Tian thought that he was in a hurry, and did not strictly punish him, but only punished him for facing the wall and thinking about it, and he was not allowed to step out of Zhengtian Peak within ten years, and this wall was several months.
On the occasion of Ye Bufan's wedding, Proud Sword Heaven invited the world, the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect Immortal Dao, since the world was invited, the wedding banquet naturally could not be shabby, and all kinds of preparations and arrangements were naturally indispensable, and thousands of people arranged it, and they also felt that there was a shortage of manpower, and as a last resort, they would send Huo Shangwu, who had been punished for thinking about it, down the mountain to purchase.
Immortal cultivators, especially Huo Shangwu's cultivation, have already stepped into the door of immortals, and they still linger in the market every day like ordinary people, bargaining with such small merchants and hawkers like those three aunts and six women, and they are extremely disdainful in their hearts, which is tantamount to a disguised punishment for him.
In the eyes of mortals, the position of procurement has been a fat shortage since ancient times, and the oil and water that can be fished out of it are naturally needless to say, but in the eyes of immortals like Huo Shangwu, how could they put such mortal things as silver in their eyes?
He was extremely disdainful in his heart, he was too lazy to bargain with the small merchant and peddler, most of them glanced at the goods, and regardless of whether it was good or bad, he threw a silver ingot over, anyway, the Heavenly Sword Sect had a great cause, and there was more silver and gold in the world, so he didn't care about that.
In this way, it is ridiculous to break the small merchant and peddler, you know, this ingot of silver in the eyes of secular people, it is a great thing, ordinary people, I am afraid that they will not be able to earn such an ingot of silver in a year, enough to tattoo ten taels of silver. As for his own goods, although they are also high-class goods, they are far from worth ten taels of silver.
All kinds of small merchants and vendors tasted the sweetness, and they were very energetic in their work, helping the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect to move the goods to the car, and the smiles on their faces could bloom.
Huo Shangwu and the others walked all the way, after a small half of the street, seven or eight wooden carts were already full, but Huo Shangwu didn't care, continued to walk forward, saw the vendors, and didn't care what kind of goods others were selling, they all threw the silver ingots over, and more than ten disciples behind him smiled bitterly, but they also knew that he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to speak.
When passing by the only inn in the town, there was a muffled sound suddenly, and a figure broke out of the window, falling right in front of Huo Shangwu, vomiting blood in his mouth again and again, struggling to get up.
Then, an angry voice came from the inn, saying: "Bastard, uncle wants a girl, a beautiful girl! ”
The voice sounded extremely vulgar, Huo Shangwu couldn't help frowning, and then strode towards the inn, and the disciples behind him smiled bitterly, and hurriedly picked up Xiao Er, who was lying on the ground, and stuffed a pill into his mouth, and then followed.
Ling Xuan had been waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and when he heard the rude voice in the inn, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and his figure flashed and flashed into the inn.
But I saw that by the window of the inn, there were three strangely dressed people, all three of them were bald, and a circle of sparse hair seemed to be stuck to the back of their heads, but they tied a few braids in a very strange way.
PS: Once again, I wish you all a happy New Year's Day~~~
