(The last chapter today was 7,000 words, and now the second chapter is 11,000 words. I made up for yesterday’s leave.)
Arriving at the Sword The seven-hundred-mile journey before Shuishan Villa was a bit dull for the three of them because Chen Ping'an was preoccupied with things. This trip to the Xianjia Ferry on the border was a world of difference, and because many things had been said, they all shook their heads. Many secrets about themselves were revealed, and the relationship between the three became more and more solid. It was the tragic incident in which their friends died. Xu Yuanxia talked about it while sleeping on the top of the mountain while drinking, and Zhang Shanfeng rarely mentioned his family background and sect. , took the wine gourd handed over by Chen Pingan, and drank heavily for the first time, especially when talking about his master Huolong Zhenren, he said bad words and cursed endlessly, but he was merciless, but the young Taoist priest's face was full of nostalgia, and his knees were horizontal. Putting the mahogany sword aside, he had no choice but to drink to cover up the tears in his eyes when he got to the point where he was moved.
During this period, the young Taoist priest sneezed several times. The bearded man joked, "Your master is a continent away, but he can still hear your complaints?" Could it be that he is a Celestial Master from the outer sect of Longhu Mountain? Zhang Shanfeng said angrily, what kind of heavenly master? The old man has never been to the Middle-earth Divine Continent in his whole life. He talks about going to the ancestral palace Longhu Mountain to pay homage to the ancestor every day, but either his back is sore today or his legs are sore tomorrow, otherwise he is whining. He could sleep for ten days and a half at a time. The longest time he slept was when there was a heavy snowfall for two months on the top of Shimen Mountain. The old man slept in the wind and snow standing on the edge of a cliff for two whole months. The snow completely melted, and then I woke up. Before that, the disciples in the sect had made preparations for a long trip to Longhu Mountain with their master, but it was in vain. In short, the old man was not sincere at all, and the brothers complained. , making insinuations time and time again, the old guy turned a deaf ear to him, you can say whatever you want, the breeze is blowing the big hill.
Chen Pingan also took the initiative to talk about Mr. Qi. After all, Mr. Qi appeared at Shushui Ancient Temple that night and met both Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng.
But he only mentioned the Lizhu Cave in his hometown, saying that he was born and raised there, and that Mr. Qi had taught there for many years.
It's not that Chen Ping'an doesn't want to say more. If he really opens up about it, he can talk to his two friends all night about Mr. Qi with the help of alcohol.
But I dare not say more.
On the short journey back with the young Cui Han, the shameless disciple disliked Chen Pingan for being silent. He always showed off and talked a lot about the top of the mountain. , such as those "interesting" plans of saints from various schools of thought in various continents, even if the young Cui Chan only talks in fragments every time, deliberately not telling them clearly, making the real inside story looming like a dragon in the clouds, but Chen Pingan already knows the seriousness and severity.
Chen Pingan also said that heThe process of beating a waterfall and the improvement of one’s realm.
Xu Yuanxia is a martial arts practitioner, and she is amazing. Even though she had expected it, she still gave Chen Pingan a thumbs up, saying that he has a bright future, and a great master in the God Refining Realm cannot escape. .
Seeing Zhang Shanfeng's confused face, Xu Yuanxia gave an example, saying that if Chen Pingan's current state were placed on the mountain, he would be about to break through the bottleneck of the lower five realms and could kick him at any time. Zhang Shanfeng suddenly realized that he could reach the sixth realm after stepping out of the cave. Then the young Taoist priest started wailing, saying that all the results of his diligent practice every day had been stolen by dogs?
Chen Pingan laughed loudly and teamed up with the bearded man to ridicule Zhang Shanfeng.
Because Zhang Shanfeng does not need others to comfort him, this guy’s tenacity is not inferior to that of Chen Ping’an. He is never afraid of anything, only one thing: no money in his pocket, no food. Full meal.
If there is one more thing, it is that during the journey of the young Taoist priest downstream to the south, he failed to do a good job in subduing demons and slaying demons several times, and his conscience has always been uneasy.
The road that followed was calm and calm. After experiencing the turmoil in Rouge County and seeing the excitement of Jianshui Villa, the three of them felt a little lonely as they walked. Fortunately, they walked quickly. When they arrived at the border pass, the three of them had serious customs clearance documents. Despite the strict interrogation, they still successfully passed through the city cave and went to the Governor's Mansion.
Among the packages presented by Song Yushao, in addition to nearly two thousand small snow coins, there was also a letter written by the old man himself. As long as Chen Ping'an handed it over to the Shushui Kingdom on the border, The Governor's Office can obtain permission from the court to enter forbidden areas.
Chen Pingan arrived in front of the tightly guarded mansion and went up to chat. He never thought that these border soldiers could not understand the elegant dialect of Aquarius Island, and Chen Pingan did not know how to speak the Mandarin of Shuiguo. Time flies, and it is very embarrassing. Fortunately, the soldiers at the gate of the mansion signaled Chen Pingan to wait and let someone go in to report. Soon, a bookish old man in a scholar's shirt walked out, proficient in Yizhou Yayan, and Chen Pingan handed over the letter. The letter was "personally signed by the Governor" and signed by Song Yushao of Jianshui Villa.
The old staff member of the mansion took the envelope with both hands and did not dare to neglect any more. He directly led the three people to sit down in the side hall. After serving tea, he quickly ran to the governor's office where military affairs were handled. , and after a while, a short dark old man came over. He was neither wearing armor nor official military uniforms. His expression was dull. He held three bronze seals in his hand and handed them directly to Chen Pingan. Turned and left without saying a word.
When the three people left the Governor's Mansion, Chen Ping'an and Zhang Shanfeng were a little confused. The unattractive Governor of Shushui Kingdom was too vigorous and resolute.
The bearded man with a long and short sword on his waist explained: "A battlefield where you can truly climb from the bottom to the top.Military generals are not of a boastful nature. "
Then he smiled and said: "In officialdom, this is called the nobleman's late speech. "
Zhang Shanfeng said angrily: "I didn't say a word at all. Why is it so late?" "
The two heard Chen Pingan talk about the incident at Jianshui Villa and knew the court's attitude towards the Villa. Xu Yuanxia couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "At this moment, he is willing to meet the three of us. , and also took out three customs clearance seals. This Grand Governor can be regarded as a righteous man, and his friendship with the old sword master Song must be very good. "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "People who can be friends with Senior Song are definitely not bad. "
Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng looked at each other and smiled. The latter tutted and said: "Chen Ping'an, what you said is so learned, how can you brag about yourself in a roundabout way? "
Chen Pingan added: "It shouldn't be bad to be friends with someone who can be friends with Senior Song. "
Xu Yuanxia stretched out her thumb, "This is kind and chewy! "
Zhang Shanfeng put his arm around Chen Ping'an's shoulders and praised: "It turns freely and is impeccable! ”
The three of them laughed and left the pass from the south gate and continued south, with the seal hanging on their waists.
Hundred After more than a mile, they will enter the forbidden area under the jurisdiction of Xianjia Fukou.
At the top of a hill halfway, the three of them stopped, Chen Ping'an. While they were making a fire and cooking, someone looked at them from a distance in the dark. They probably stopped paying attention after seeing the talisman on their waists and left quietly.
The three of them didn't eat. Drinking, you are about to enter the ferry where Qi practitioners gather on the mountain, so it is better to be careful.
Xu Yuanxia is mostly seeing off Chen Pingan and Zhang Shanfeng this time, but if there is a ferry going there. The Qingluan Kingdom in the southeast of Aquarius Continent is better. As for the shops selling magic weapons and heavy weapons at the ferry, Xu Yuanxia is a pure martial artist, and now he has a magic weapon, so he has no interest at all.
< /p>In addition to buying an offensive magic sword, Zhang Shanfeng wanted to add some rare talismans similar to the divine walking talisman, and find someone to appraise the price of the pair of Qing Shen Shan Shen Xiao bamboo chopsticks, which condensed spiritual energy. The white bowl that turned into nectar, and the Guyu Guojia Pills that Chen Pingan half sold and half gave to him, the young Taoist priest would never sell. He would not even take these two treasures out, lest anyone get upset. Without coveting, one more disaster will happen in vain
Chen Pingan will definitely not touch anything he brought out from Luopo Mountain.
< p>Shen Gaozong He Xiaoliang returned the gift on Kun's boatJust keep his high-quality snake gallstone. After the Lizhu Cave Sky fell, not a single snake gallstone can be seen in Longxu River and Tiefu River. They have all turned into ordinary stones. I heard that the snake gallstone is Li Zhudongtian's specialty product means that every time one is used, one less one will be lost in the world. Chen Pingan now knows that this is a rare commodity. The later he sells it, the more profit he will make.The golden body gallbladder presented by Shen Wen, the Chenghuang Lord of Rouge County, must be hidden. The gold body fragments and silver fragments obtained twice must not be shown to others.
Shen Wen attaches great importance to the Tianshi Seal with the words "The Seal of the City God of Rouge County, Caiyi Country", which is engraved on it. Shen Wen attaches great importance to it and even said, "Only the virtuous can hold the sacred weapon." It is said that This seal needs to be coordinated with the Five Thunders Zhengfa to be able to exert its mighty power. In fact, Chen Pingan immediately thought of Zhang Shanfeng, a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain, and Lin Shouyi, who was currently studying at Shanya Academy but studying "Yunshanglanglangshu". However, after Chen Pingan thought about it carefully, he was not reluctant to give it up. It felt inappropriate to give it to one of them, and felt that even if it was a gift, it should be done later, firstly until Chen Ping'an understood what a "virtuous person" was, and secondly at that time, who would it be, Zhang Shanfeng or Lin Shouyi? It can be called these three words.
If it were before, Chen Pingan would have sent it out without saying a word.
Not anymore.
As for the piece of ebony that was struck by lightning but still has vitality, the big white bowl with the true shape of the Five Mountains, and the talisman hiding the beautiful ghost with withered bones, Chen Pingan will take it out and ask The price, how much Xiaoxue each can sell for, and whether to pawn it for sale will be discussed later. I believe that the Fukou store cannot forcefully buy or sell.
Jianshui Villa’s nearly 2,000 pieces of snow money, plus the Tsing Yi boy’s snow money and Xiaoshu money, add up to a total of almost 4,000 pieces of snow money.
When Chen Pingan thought of this, he felt a little happy.
But when he thought of one more thing, he couldn't be happy anymore.
Wei Bo and the old man surnamed Cui once said something similar to each other. Before Chen Pingan enters Daoxuan Mountain, he must first enter the fourth realm of martial arts, because only in this way can he be in that place. Standing firm on the Great Wall, tempering the body and consolidating the soul with the most abundant invisible sword power in the world, it will definitely be of great benefit to any pure martial artist in the third realm of Qi refining. According to the old man's words, if you don't even have the four realms, then you should not go to the top of the city to embarrass yourself. Even if you can walk up, you may not be able to climb down. You can only give the girl the sword at the bottom of the Great Sword Qi Wall. Chen Ping'an could only stare blankly, obediently go back to Luopo Mountain and become the king of the mountain.
Chen Pingan wanted to stay there for a while.
Soon a group of people passed by on the road below the mountain. There were seven or eight people, old and young., dressed in different costumes, none of them looked like ordinary people. The three people on the hillside just glanced sideways and didn't look at them again.
Be careful of Taoist monks when you go out. Go into mountains and wading rivers, avoiding children and women.
This is an unwritten rule on the mountain. If you meet someone who doesn’t know the depth of your comrades, don’t look around. God knows if you will meet someone with a bad temper.
Those people also glanced at the three of them and stopped looking at them.
Although we haven’t reached the ferry yet, we can still walk dozens of miles. How long can we go? They were about to leave, and they had agreed not to drink any wine, but just because Chen Pingan took a sip of wine out of habit, Zhang Shanfeng said he wanted to drink too, and Chen Pingan handed over the wine gourd. As a result, Xu Yuanxia also took a sip, so Taking turns like this, the three of them sat on the top of the hill, each taking a sip of wine and drinking silently.
Finally, the bearded man murmured: "I was born in the army, and I was a frontier soldier in a fierce war. It was just that I couldn't bear the death of people around me every day, so I started to hang out in the world. I never thought that in the end I would be a soldier. Dead man. You may not believe it, but I, Xu Yuanxia, come from a scholarly family. I joined the army at that time. Of course, my family is not a wealthy family, but it can be regarded as a county magistrate. I have not been a good parent in these years. The living hometown now seems like a hometown."
The bearded man drank so much that his beard was covered with wine. He sat cross-legged and his eyes were blurry, "In those days when I was a frontier soldier, I I read some books earlier, and they talked a little bit about loyalty to the family and the country. Most of the heroes in the army did not talk about this. They only earn military merits, earn money, avenge the brothers who took the first step, and killing the enemy on the battlefield was just killing the enemy, and it was just fun. . But on the battlefield, if you cut someone with a sword or shoot an arrow, you will only feel pain when you get stitches and pull out the arrow. You have to scream, don't make fun of anyone..."
The young Taoist priest fell back. He really couldn't drink anymore. Chen Ping'an couldn't carry two people at once. He Looking at the blue sky, "Master always said that I have the foundation of understanding. I didn't take the imperial examination back then, but went to the mountains to practice. I will definitely be worthy of my life. But how do I know where the foundation of my understanding is? If I am also The dogs took them away. I really want to beg those dogs to return them to me. You don't need them. But I, Zhang Shanfeng, want to go down the mountain to slay demons and eliminate demons. I need them. With Taoism, I don't have to feel guilty anymore. The people who paid me to do things will no longer be separated and displaced."
Chen Pingan drinks a little better, even if he drinks too much, he speaks less.
So I listened silently to the two friends confiding their hearts, sat on the ground, held the wine gourd in both hands, looked into the distance, glanced at the north, and then turned to look at the south. For a moment, Chen Pingan didn't feel too worried.
The young Taoist priest who finally went down the mountain to the ferry, thinking that he must not get drunk, had already let the bearded man carry him on his back.
Xu Yuanxia's steps were quite steady, but she talked a lot about wine. She recited many frontier poems loudly, and finally said "A Thousand Cups of Wine" Shao wow..."
I let out a wine burp and said nothing more.
Chen Ping'an smiled and answered: "Beautiful ladies... there are two of them."
Xu Yuanxia rolled her eyes, "Bai blind A sword immortal!"
Chen Pingan immediately corrected himself: "Great sword immortal!"
The young Taoist murmured in his sleep: " And the Great Heavenly Master..."
————
This Shushui Kingdom Xianjia Ferry, which borders Songxi Country, is actually a prosperous town without city walls. This gives Chen Ping'an the illusion of returning to Longquan's hometown. The road is bustling with pedestrians. There are not too many Qi practitioners, but more ordinary people who have been rooted here for generations, as well as various merchants. The streets are full of shops. When they arrived at the small town, Zhang Shanfeng had sobered up, but felt a little dizzy with a headache, while Chen Ping'an and Xu Yuanxia had already dissipated from the alcohol.
Xu Yuanxia reminded softly: "Let's not think about shopping around, just find the place with the best location and the largest store."
This is valuable Jianghu experience.
Then the three of them found a large shop with a plaque of "Qingfufang". It was five stories high and stood out from the crowd. It also occupied a vast area. There seemed to be another shop behind the building. There is a large courtyard with towering ancient trees and the sound of running water. The specific purpose is unknown at the moment.
The couplets on both sides of the store entrance are "Young and old men are not deceived, our prices are fair; compare your feelings with others, and your guests will come back again."
This is the wealthy Qingfufang!
On the street in front of the store, there were no waiters soliciting business, but after the three of them walked into the shaded lobby, they soon saw a young woman in gorgeous clothes. The person came slowly, and there was a green flying insect hovering on each shoulder, as if carved from jasper. She asked directly in the elegant language of Aquarius Island: "Are the three guests going to appreciate the treasures, or purchase the treasures in the store?"
While the woman was asking questions, two green flying insects had already fluttered and flew around the four people, making a subtle chirping sound.
It turned out to be to shield the conversation between the two parties from being heard by others in the store.
Xu Yuanxia smiled and said: "First appraise the treasure, and then look at the quality of your collection. If there is something suitable and the price is really fair, it won't be too late for us to buy it."
Woman He pointed to one place and said with a smile: "The appreciation of important weapons is on the first floor, the spiritual weapons are on the second floor, and the magic weapons are on the third floor. The stairs are over there. The three guests can choose by themselves. I will follow you all the way."< /p>
Xu Yuanxia nodded and strode towards the stairs. She must have stopped on the second floor. No matter how good the spiritual weapon is, the price still has a low price. What if she possesses an immortal magic weapon? Even if Chen Pingan and Zhang Shanfeng want to sell, the bearded men do not recommend trading at this ferry.
The woman followed the three men and smiled slightly.
Since I went straight to the second floor, I was lucky this time and made a bit of money.
The other women on the first floor, who were of similar looks and bearing, all had envious eyes. But when it comes to welcoming guests every day, Qingfufang has already made arrangements in order, and whether they make money or not depends on their luck. However, after a year, it is roughly the same. Even if someone suddenly becomes rich suddenly, the ancestral rules established by the 500-year-old Qingfufang brand will not be known to others, unless that person leaks it himself.
Arrived on the second floor, the woman began to lead the way again. The corridor was paved with a whole piece of splendid lichen produced in China. The embroidery work was no inferior to the one in the lobby of Jianshui Villa. She led the three of them to the door of a room and knocked on the door gently. After receiving the consent from an old voice, the woman pushed the door open and stood at the door. After the three bearded men had crossed the threshold, she gently opened the door. Close the door gently.
There is a large table in the house, with an energetic old man sitting behind it. There is a small incense burner with a lingering fragrance, and an ancient cypress potted plant with curves and a very long horizontal spread. , there was a row of green-clothed little people squatting on the branches. They were whispering, but after seeing the guests arriving, they all stood up, stood on the branches of the ancient cypress, bowed and saluted, and said in a childish voice: " Welcome to our store and wish you good luck!"
It is indeed the work of an immortal.
Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment.
Xu Yuanxia is an old Jianghu and knows how to hide her emotions. Zhang Shanfeng is originally from the mountains. Although he is very poor now, he actually had a lot of knowledge when he was practicing under his master.
So Chen Ping'an is actually the only one who shows off his flaws.
Just such a small detail made the young woman pay more attention to Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng. She felt that the young man wearing straw sandals and carrying a sword probably had a small chance to start practicing. She went to the mountains to practice cultivation, so she didn't need to worry too much.
OldThe man smiled and asked: "Treasure appraisal? What kind of spiritual artifact? I am best at identifying bronzes, calligraphy and painting, and beautiful wood. I also dabble in many other miscellaneous artifacts. I dare not say that I am proficient in everything, but in this room in Qingfufang After sitting there for more than 40 years, there are only a handful of mistakes, so the guests can just take out their treasures."
Zhang Shanfeng took out the pair of bamboo chopsticks from his sleeves. Hand it to the old man.
The old man who was originally sitting in the chair was in full bloom. He did not hide his surprise. He stood up and took the pair of green bamboo chopsticks with both hands. After sitting down, he carefully put the bamboo chopsticks into his hands. Put it on the table in front of you, take out a special silk scarf from the drawer, carefully wipe the palms and fingers of your hands, then pick up the bamboo chopsticks engraved with "Shen Xiao Bamboo", look at it patiently, and remain speechless for a long time.
Putting down the "Godly Sky Bamboo" and picking up the "Green God Mountain", the old man sighed, raised his head, looked at the young Taoist priest, and said with regret on his face: "The material of this thing is excellent, not only It must have come from the Bamboo Sea Cave, and most likely it was made from the sacred bamboo of the Qingshen Mountain. A hundred years after Qingshen Mountain was closed, the price of artifacts made of the unique sacred bamboo of the Qingshen Mountain has been rising all the time. It's not an exaggeration to say it's crazy, but it's a pity that it's not made into a pair of compact ghost whips, but a pair of... chopsticks! It's too extravagant! ”
At the end of the sentence, the old man gritted his teeth and almost beat his chest and cursed the old owner of the chopsticks for his waste of natural resources.
The old man reached out and rubbed the words "Qing Shen Shan" on the bamboo chopsticks, and could only comfort himself softly, "But if it is made into a sacred bamboo, it can fight ghosts." Whip, guests can go directly to the third floor. How could I have the chance to see this thing? Qingshen Mountain in the Bamboo Sea Cave. There is only one mountain god in such a huge cave, which is Mrs. Bamboo of Qingshen Mountain. You must know the ancestor of the novelist , once recorded and described this legendary lady of the mountain god, "beautiful appearance, likes to go barefoot, and has extremely green hair." In just a few words, she outlines the charm of a peerless goddess..."
The old man has been completely immersed in his reverie.
Although the woman leading the way in Qingfufang was a little embarrassed, she was very excited in her heart. She was going to make a lot of money today! And luckily, those bitches on the third floor who are best at showing off will not make money. The women above are looking at each other as fairies. They seem to be cold and cold, but in fact they are full of calculations. Whoever has money is the winner in the world. The most handsome men, no matter their age, are all charming women who like to seduce men. After making a deal, they are still willing to shamelessly lean on each other and lead the guests to the private house in the courtyard behind. It is so shameless! Shameless!
Sigh, I don’t know when I will be able to take up a post on the third floor. Why have my skills in serving people been so bad? It's a female guestShe also has unique ways of treating people, and is confident that she can serve them comfortably.
Zhang Shanfeng had no choice but to interrupt the old man's thoughts, "Old sir, old sir, I just want to know how much these pair of chopsticks are worth."
The old man quickly came back to his senses and looked at the woman with a smile, "Cuiying, do I have one more share in Qingfufang this year?"
The young woman was a little agitated. Surprised, she quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Hong, you do have one more chance to pocket the treasure, but you have to follow the old rules and give it to the master of the second shop on the top floor first before handing it over to Mr. Hong for private collection."
The old man smiled heartily and said: "Of course!"
Then the old man said seriously to the young Taoist priest: "If these chopsticks are said to be beneficial to spiritual practice, There are really not many, but the secular dynasty resting at the bottom of the mountain will definitely be a treasure that the generals and dignitaries are competing for, because every time you take out the chopsticks and pick up the food, it is contaminated with a little spiritual energy, so it can strengthen the body and prolong life, as long as it Without serious illness or disaster, it is not difficult for ordinary people to extend their life by three to five years. Moreover, the two terms of Qing Shen Shan and Shen Xiao Bamboo can also command a huge premium, especially for those with big appetites. It is really hard to buy for a lot of money. Okay."
The old man glanced at the green bamboo chopsticks on the table and said with joy on his face: "I, Qingfufang...or rather, I, Hong Yangbo, am willing to offer four hundred and fifty pieces. Please feel free to pay for your money. I can guarantee that no matter whether it is upstairs or downstairs in Qingfufang, or in this ferry town, the other 16 shops, large and small, will not be higher than this price. Generally, The market price, at most, is between 300 and 400 pieces of snow money. It is really because I like this thing. I have another chance to put the appraisal in my bag this year, so I am willing to pay such a high price. This Taoist Chief, how about it? Are you willing to sell your bamboo chopsticks?"
The old man looked at the young Taoist priest pitifully, "Four hundred and fifty Xiaoxue coins, this price can't be higher. Well, if you are afraid that I am just picking on someone else, that you cannot trust the golden signboard of Qingfufang, and that I will deceive you, it doesn’t matter, we can go find the owner of the second shop together, or you can go to the big and small shops on the street..."
Zhang Shanfeng glanced at Xu Yuanxia, and the bearded man nodded gently.
Zhang Shanfeng grinned and stretched out a palm, "One price, five hundred snow coins, I will sell it!"
The young woman turned her head, covered her mouth and snickered.
Well, with Mr. Hong’s stubborn temperament, he only accepts things based on their appearance and no regard for their value. Once he sets his sights on something he likes, he will definitely have to cut his flesh no matter how painful it is.
"It will make you happy, and it will make you happy that money cannot buy!"
The old man slapped himself, and then stood up. Still feeling more happy than distressed, he said boldly: "It's settled! Cuiying, take these pair of chopsticks carefully and send them to the top floor for the owner of the second shop to appraise, lest I pretend to be self-serving. After confirming that the price is fair, I can pay the customer out of my own pocket. Of course, your share is indispensable!"
The woman carefully put away her bamboo chopsticks and looked graceful. Shanshan left.
The bearded man knew that Zhang Shanfeng made money from this transaction, and he made a lot of money.
Only Chen Ping'an was still standing at the table, secretly lowering his head and bending over, staring at the little kids in green clothes. He thought these little guys were interesting and naive. They look cute, so I’m thinking about collecting some myself in the future and giving them to the pink-skirted girl in Luo Luo Mountain. She will probably like them, and it will save her from feeling boring in the Bamboo House. And those little guys thought it was quite interesting that such a bumpkin with mud legs didn't even recognize them.
I really can’t get enough of seeing each other, and both parties are very happy.
The old man was sitting behind the table, humming a little tune, and was even happier.
The young woman returned quickly and handed over the pair of Qingshenshan bamboo chopsticks with a smile, "The second boss said congratulations for saving you a regret, but also said that he will be invited next time. When you are drinking, you are not allowed to show off your chopsticks to him."
The old man sighed, "How can you not show off?"
Then he quickly put away the pair of bamboo chopsticks, opened the drawer, took out five Xiaoshu coins, and handed them to the young Taoist priest who was carrying the peach wood sword, "Although generally speaking, in big shops, Xiaoshu coins are one hundred pieces of snow." It costs money, but everyone knows that if you trade with others in private, every Xiaoshu money will cost you four or five more Xue money."
Zhang Shanfeng nodded with a smile and accepted. After spending five Xiaoshu coins, I saw Chen Pingan still winking stupidly with the kids in green clothes. I gave Chen Pingan an elbow and said with a smile: "Stop pretending to be stupid and crazy with me. Take it and I will pay you back the interest first." The principal is still owed. If you feel bad about it, five summer coins will be deducted from the principal, and the rest will really be owed to you first, and we will deal with it later.”
Obviously, after knowing the true price of the ancient Yuguo Bingjia pill, Zhang Shanfeng never thought that he could be friends. He just pretended that nothing happened and could really spend only five hundred pieces of snow. Come and calculate.
Chen Pingan calmly accepted the five Xiaoshu money, put it in his sleeve, and said: "That's it! Otherwise, I will pay you back the money, and you will give me back your things?"
Zhang Shanfeng remained silent.
Xu Yuanxia smiled and patted Zhang Shanfeng on the shoulder, "That's it, otherwise it would be hypocritical."</p>
Zhang Shanfeng just snorted.
Chen Pingan put his arm around Zhang Shanfeng's shoulders and said with a smile: "If you really feel sorry for yourself, why don't you sell the peach wood sword?"
Zhang Shanfeng Another elbow bumped him, and he laughed and cursed: "Go and cool off!"
Chen Ping'an jumped away, "A gentleman talks but never moves."
Xu Yuanxia shook her head, like two children.
The woman from Qingfufang was a little surprised. She stared at the profile of the young man with the sword on his back. Could this be the real rich man?
Zhang Shanfeng smiled at the old man and said, "Pindao has nothing to sell."
The old man was disappointed.
But Chen Pingan followed closely and said, "I have something for you to appreciate, sir."
The old man immediately sat up straight, smiled and stretched out his arms. He made a move: "I must be lucky again."
Chen Pingan took out the one with the true shape of the Five Mountains from his sleeve. White bowl on the table.
The old man’s eyes were calm. He held the bowl in both hands and slowly rotated it. After putting it down, he said, "The painting on the surface of the bowl should be the true shape map of the Five Mountains of the ancient Yu Kingdom. Qingfufang is willing to offer a price of one hundred." For fifty pieces of snow, if it were the true form of the Five Mountains of the Great Dynasty, the price would have doubled several times. However, the Five Mountains of the Ancient Yu Kingdom contained limited aura, so if they were drawn on this white bowl, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced. "
At this point, the old man felt a little emotional and talked about a business incident on the mountain. "I think the shop that made huge profits because of this bowl must have been decades ago. He secretly stocked up a large number of Dali Wuyue bowls from Baofuzhai. His family made a huge profit in the past few years. After that, countless small shops followed suit and bought them. Who would have thought that the Dali Emperor went crazy and directly changed all the Wuyue bowls? Haha, how many merchants did this? We lost all our money, but fortunately our shop owner had unique vision and refused to buy even a big Li Wuyue Bowl at a high position, which saved Qingfu Shop from a disaster."
< p>After Chen Ping'an patiently listened to the old gentleman's words, he asked softly: "Old sir, what is the function of this bowl?""Sorry, sorry, when it comes to us Qingfufang is so powerful that I can't keep my mouth shut."
After the old man apologized, he pointed at the white bowl and said with a smile. Sheji soil is a must for every country and dynasty. Where does the five-color soil come from? In addition to the treasures of mountains and rivers that are nurtured by itself, it can also be created artificially. This is the type of bowl that is placed in the soil of the five mountains. Put it into the bowl. After a period of time, it will be judged according to the quality and quality of the Wuyue Bowl.High or low, it can be as short as a few days or as long as ten days, and a small handful of five-color soil can be produced. Of course, the five-color soil can also be sold. With the appearance of the Wuyue Bowl, if you have enough ancient Yu Kingdom Wuyue soil, you can produce it in a year. The output can be roughly sold...this amount! ”
The old man spread out a palm.
The young woman began to cover her mouth and snicker again.
Chen Pingan asked tentatively: "Fifty pieces of snow?" "
The old man couldn't help laughing and said: "Five. "
Then the old man explained: "Many of these spiritual weapons that can continue to make money are priced in a period of time on the mountain. Five pieces a year. After a period of time, it is three hundred. Mei Xue spends money. Haha, don't worry, sir. I mistakenly thought that Qingfufang was cheating people, so I was only willing to buy this bowl at half the price. This is because the Five Mountains Bowl is a bit special. In some countries with unstable societies, their Five Mountains true-shaped bowls may be It’s worthless. Just imagine if the country is gone, where will the five mountains be? So where does the five-colored soil come from? If it weren't for the fact that the situation in Guyu Country was relatively stable now, Qingfufang had never been very interested in acquiring Wuyue Bowl. If it was willing to pay half the price, it would be fair. "
Chen Pingan thought for a while, "Can I not sell this bowl? "
The old man smiled and said: "Of course. To be honest, if I buy this bowl for Qingfufang today, the ancient Yu Kingdom will change overnight, and I will take the risk and have my salary deducted. ”
Chen Pingan smiled and put away the white bowl.
Although it is not fifty yuan a year, but when he thinks of five yuan a year, then It’s a full five thousand taels of silver. Do you know how much the earliest house in Taoye Lane in Longquan Town cost? Of course, now Lizhu Cave is broken and falling, bordering the territory of the Great Li Dynasty, the town’s house is The prices have skyrocketed, but five thousand taels can still buy several houses in Longquan County.
The top priority is to write to Wei Bo and the old man surnamed Cui to ask them. Try to help collect the soil from the Five Mountains of Ancient Yu Kingdom... Then when you return from Daixuan Mountain, you will also go to the five mountains of Ancient Yu Kingdom in person. Take as many kilograms as you can, and hope that everything will fly by then. There is still enough space for Jian Fifteen.
Xu Yuanxia suddenly said softly: "This bowl can be sold. "
Although the old man lost an inch because of a pair of Qingshenshan bamboo chopsticks, he is actually very shrewd in doing business. "This brother, do you think that the Great Li Cavalry will definitely go south? So Guyu Kingdom may not be able to keep its country? I don't think so. Guanhu Academy is located in the middle of Aquarius Continent. I believe that the Song family of Dali will not drive southward. Even if one day, there are so many dynasties and kingdoms in the middle.Fight them one by one, and how many years will it take for the big horse to move southward without stopping? "
Now that the old man said it, Xu Yuanxia stopped hiding and said with a smile: "Even if Guanhu Academy blocks it, I still think it won't take long for Da Li to go south. ”
The old man smiled and said nothing, unwilling to argue with others on this matter. Qingfufang is just a businessman, and harmony makes money.
Xu Yuanxia smiled at Chen Ping'an and said, "It's safe to be safe!" "
Chen Pingan looked at the bearded man with firm eyes. Chen Pingan nodded and took out the white bowl without hesitation and put it on the table, "Mr. No? "
The old man smiled heartily and said: "Young and old people are not deceived, just buy it!" If Qingfufang loses money on this transaction, it will be considered as my poor judgment and the money will be deducted! ”
Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.
Chen Ping’an got one hundred and fifty Xiaoxue coins. As Xu Yuanxia said, it’s safe to leave the bag. .
Chen Pingan then simply took out the piece of ebony and the talisman with the naughty ghost attached to it. The old man appraised it one after another. He praised the ebony and promised to pay three hundred small snow coins. It is said that farmers and medical practitioners are all interested in this item, but they are only willing to bid fifty pieces for the talisman made of decent material.
Chen Pingan thought for a while. , only sold the piece of ebony and took back the talisman.
Chen Pingan and Zhang Shanfeng had nothing to sell, so it was time to spend money. It's time to run like water.
The old man saw off the guests at the door with a smile, and did not forget to say to Xu Yuanxia: "When we have the opportunity to come again in the future, let's see how the situation in Guyu Country is. How about buying whoever loses a drink? "
Xu Yuanxia smiled and said: "Okay. In fact, regardless of winning or losing, it is not a loss to have a drink with Mr. Hong. "
The old man laughed loudly, "That's it, next time I will buy you a drink first! ”
Xu Yuanxia clasped her fists and said goodbye.
Hearing that Zhang Shanfeng wanted to buy a Taoist talisman sword that could kill demons and eliminate demons, the young woman took it with her The three of them went directly to the fourth floor and chose a large room with a wooden sign of "Cold Light" hanging on it. The door was guarded by someone from Qingfufang. After the woman greeted the man, she gently opened the door and saw rows of sword racks. Next door, the house was filled with swords and weapons of all kinds.
As soon as Zhang Shanfeng stepped through the door, he couldn't see it anymore.
The young woman felt a sense of loss.
Chen Pingan said:"Don't pay attention to him, let's watch the sword."
Zhang Shanfeng was unwilling to enter the house, so the bearded man dragged him in.
The young woman introduced a dozen magic swords of different prices in turn. Although Zhang Shanfeng was dejected in the end, he couldn't help but glance at one of the ancient bronze swords. The scabbard has long been lost, and the seal has the vague word "Zhenwu" engraved on it. Because the sword body has so many scars, even if the sword is made of excellent material, Qingfufang only offers four hundred snow coins, so Chen Pingan doesn't say anything. She paid for it. When she paid, Chen Pingan was a little hesitant. The young woman smiled slightly and took the initiative to leave the house. When she returned to the "Hanguang" house, Chen Pingan had already piled up four hundred snow coins. On a sword stand, after counting and confirming, she put the ancient sword "Zhenwu" into a prepared scabbard and handed it to Chen Ping'an.
They walked out of the Hanguang Sword House together. The young woman and the three of them did not go out from the main entrance of Qingfufang, but led them from a second-floor sky bridge to the high-rise building in the backyard. Then she walked out from there and left Qingfufang through a backyard side door. After the young woman told the three people about the walking route of the ferry, some rules and prices, she waved goodbye to the three people. When she turned around, Qingfu Fang The military guard of Qifang Academy had already closed the side door. She turned her back to the door and clenched her fists secretly. Her face was full of joy, but she soon regained her composure and walked quickly back to the main building of Qingfu Academy. Her face was full of sadness and she sighed. , complaining to his companions about the shabby appearance of the three guests.
Qingfufang is less than two miles away from the ferry. There is a ferry that goes to Yunsong Country, although it is far away from Qingluan Country. There is still a long distance, but compared to Xu Yuanxia's walking, it is naturally much faster. Moreover, after disembarking in Yunsong Country, you can immediately board the ferry to Qingluan Country, so Xu Yuanxia will take this boat to leave Shushui Country. The ferry Chen Ping'an needs belongs to an old route that has existed for thousands of years and has a long history. Although it will not go directly to the Old Dragon City at the southernmost tip of Aquarius Continent, it will still greatly shorten the long distance of hundreds of thousands of miles.
When approaching the ferry, Chen Pingan, holding the "Zhenwu" magic sword, stopped almost at the same time as the young Taoist priest.
The young Taoist priest lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Xu Yuanxia sighed and said with a smile to Chen Pingan: "At that time, Taoist Chongmiao of Rouge County accidentally mentioned that in the southeast of Aquarius Continent, that's where I want to go. Near Qingluan Kingdom, a massive water and land monastery will be held in half a year. Countless Taoist gods will gather there, and several famous Aquarius Continent Taoist masters will of course give public sermons there. I want to go take a look, but I don’t know how to talk to you. I always feel that if I change my schedule temporarily, it would be unreasonable and I would be sorry for you. I’m fine now.If you buy this magic sword again, this guy will feel even more embarrassed to say goodbye to you. After all, we agreed at the beginning that he would accompany you all the way to Old Dragon City. I guess this guy wants to die now. . Okay, Chen Pingan, just use this Zhenwu to dig a hole in the ground and bury him, and it will be over. "
Chen Pingan jumped up and slapped Zhang Shanfeng on the head, "Look at how stupid you are, like a girl!" Who among us is following whom? Don't you seem to be a bastard? Sword, take it away, money, I owe it, man, get out! ”
The young Taoist priest did not raise his head, his shoulders trembled slightly.
Chen Pingan stopped talking, threw the Zhenwu sword to Xu Yuanxia, and walked quickly alone Leave.
The young Taoist priest with red eyes raised his head. The young man with the sword from Longquan of Dali had already walked away. He seemed to be aware of Zhang Shanfeng’s sight, and the boy with straw sandals raised his head high. One arm clenched its fist and waved it vigorously.
