Chapter 191 Who leaked the news(1/2)
Nothing happened all night.
After waking up, the two of them discussed for a while whether they were going to spend a day strolling around the northernmost pass of Da Rui. As for the ambiguous situation, they would leave it alone and let it be revealed more before making any plans.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, and the person they are looking for is not me at all.
When we went out, everything was still peaceful, with people coming and going, and it was bustling. I didn't see the two groups from yesterday.
It didn't matter if they didn't, Xu Changsheng and he just chose a street and walked without leaving. If that group of people was really targeting them, once they separated, it would give them a chance to strike.
Just wandering around aimlessly, the two of them would stop when they saw something novel, and Xu Changsheng took back the Taoist Soldier Zhenshan into the mustard object.
He still sees the situation very clearly.
The two of them also saw various shops in the streets and alleys, such as a "Strange Stone Museum". The store was very small, and if Xu Changsheng hadn't been sharp-eyed, he might not have been able to pick it out from the pile of shops.
Although the store is small, it is a different world once you enter.
The shopkeeper is a Danxinjing monk, sitting behind a small square table, holding two slightly rounded patterned stones in his hand, which he keeps circling.
When he saw the person coming, the monk didn't get up. He just said lightly, "Just take a look."
The two young men are not annoyed. Who can let someone with high cultivation level be a big brother? Besides, when someone opens a shop, they have their own style. If you don't like it, just go out.
However, Xu Changsheng felt that the reason was probably the latter, otherwise this monk would not have opened such a small shop. If he was really a businessman, I believe this monk would have moved to that prosperous area long ago.
Some kind of Buddhist incense seemed to be lit inside the shop. After entering, the two of them felt quite calm. The shop seemed to be in a small world by itself, as if separated from the noise outside.
The store is also worthy of the name of "Fantastic Stones", except that the stones have naturally different shapes, some resemble birds, animals, insects, fish, and some resemble exotic flowers and plants.
What's even more rare is that most of the strange stones contain the attributes of the Five Elements, with gold and stone as swords, and they keep flying around in the small formation arranged by the monks.
There is a water-attributed stone, like that sourceless water flowing everywhere. When people look at it, they seem to notice it, and they immediately turn into ordinary light blue stones. As soon as their eyes wander a little, the stones immediately turn into running water.
There is also the fire-attribute stone that is constantly burning and jumping like flames. There is also the stone that is like an ancient tree, growing wantonly among the stones.
The most rare thing is the earth attribute stone. It looks ordinary on the surface, but when Xu Changsheng used his pupil technique to look at it, he found that among the several stones, it had the strongest spiritual power.
It's a pity that these sacred stones are sold in sets, and the price is the highest among the shops, a red leaf coin!
It's not a green clam coin, it's a red leaf coin that Xu Changsheng has never seen before. Although his current total wealth already includes the red leaf coin, it is more than a hundred green clam coins.
Although I can’t afford it, it’s okay to have a look and gain some insights.
The two of them also saw a sword-shaped feldspar placed alone on the high shelf. The price was also extremely high, almost as high as that of the set of Five Elements Divine Stones.
Xu Changsheng was not sure. He asked Xue Nan and found out that there was a flying sword hidden there. The grade was unknown. It was an ancient war relic unearthed from the battlefield.
This thing is similar to the gambling stone. If you are lucky, you may be able to get a high-grade flying sword and make a lot of money. If you are not lucky, you may be able to get a broken flying sword, which can only be treated as scrap.
deal with.
In addition to the most eye-catching set of strange stones and the sword stone, Xu Changsheng also discovered a "strange stone" in that corner.
The spiritual power of the strange stone was lost, and not even one out of ten remained, but its shape was quite peculiar. Looking from one side, it looked like a Confucian scholar bowing his head. But when he turned around, there was another figure of a girl bending down to pick lotus.
At that time, Xu Changsheng thought that he had seen it wrong. It was not until he circled back to that direction that he realized that the strange stone was still the same strange stone, but from a different angle and looked at differently.
Maybe he had lost his spiritual power and the price of the strange stone was not high, so he sold the white water coin. So the young man also spent money generously and bought this strange stone.
The reason for buying it is also very simple.
I remember one time when the sun was setting in the west, a great Le'an god whispered to the young man next to him, look
That hill over there looks like a big ingot.
So the young man looked hard to see where there was a big ingot. But he couldn't see it clearly. No matter how he looked, it was just an ordinary mountain.
Later, Master Le'an covered his eyes with one hand, and then let him go after a while, and then asked him to see if it looked like him.
It looks really similar!
From a distance, the top of the mountain is just a big gold ingot, shining with golden light in the sunset, as if the floating clouds and lights on the horizon are flying out of the gold ingot.
However, when the young man went to see it alone later, he never saw the gold ingot. It looked like an ordinary mountain.
That mountain was called Qian Lai Mountain. Since then, the young man has often run to that mountain, just hoping to pick up a gold ingot. In this way, he doesn't have to think about making money every day or what to eat for his next meal.
Now I can go to school every day like other children.
It's a pity that on the day he left the town, he didn't pick up a gold ingot, not even a copper coin.
As for Xue Nan, he had never been interested in these stones. If Xu Changsheng hadn't come in to take a look, he would definitely not have come in. So Xu Changsheng paid the money and left with satisfaction.
…
Within a large courtyard.
An old man in black clothes and white hair came quietly and came alone to meet the actual leader of Dingbeiguan, a general who was at the peak of his power.
The question asked is also very simple, all it requires is that the general does not nod or shake his head.
At least that's how it seemed to the old man.
Therefore, he was still puzzled by the general's deliberation for a long time. After all, the leader of Anjianwu, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, said before leaving that if he really needed it, he could come to Dingbeiguan to look for this general.
As long as you reveal your identity, you can ask him for something.
As long as this doesn't hinder his path forward.
But does this matter now?
Obviously it doesn't count.
Otherwise, this old man, who is only in the late stage of distraction, would not dare to come. Impeding the path of a god to control the peak is tantamount to seeking death.
After waiting for a long time, the tea cup in the hands of the old man in black was heated several times by himself, and then General Dingbeiguan waved his hand and asked him to leave.
The old man was not overjoyed at all, but just slightly cupped his hands to express his gratitude.
After all, there were not many people left on his side. After a bunch of people from the upper three realms were slaughtered by the Feng Xiang Lord, they fled in all directions and were killed by the all-pervasive divine and demon guards. In addition, they surrounded and killed those
There are actually not many left that Hong Nanlan picked up.
Now that the New Year is approaching, someone must pay homage to them. And this memorial service always requires sacrifices.
Otherwise, when I go, I won’t be able to see those old Taoist friends.
After the old man went out, he turned into the breeze and disappeared, as if he had never appeared.
The general of Dingbeiguan, who was wearing armor, went to the top of the city alone, holding a long sword in his hand, looking north at the mountains and rivers, sighing secretly.
Back then, I had accepted someone's kindness and was lucky enough to survive. Now that someone wants to repay their debts, there's no way that I can't help but do it, right?
It's just a pity for those two juniors. Their talents are good, but there is no shortage of geniuses in this world. It's just that this life is going against the grain, and one step is wrong and the other is wrong.
Otherwise, how could I have transformed from a Confucian student to a general here?
It will take tens to hundreds of years.
The man in armor suddenly looked up and saw that the clouds were layered and thick. The man's eyes were full of disdain.
So what if the gods are sitting high?
The great road is just like this. If you can't go up to another level, what's the use of it lasting forever?
It doesn’t matter whether what that person wants today is achieved or not.
As for them, they are already like dry bones.
…
As they turned the corner, Xu Changsheng and the others were suddenly stopped by an old man with a goatee who refused to let them go.
Helpless, the two of them could only stop.
Xue Nan also smiled and joked: "Thankfully, Taoist Master met us two brothers today. If he had met anyone else, he would have punched him down."
The old Taoist also knew what was going on. He stroked his remaining goatee, grinned broadly and said, "That means, if I hadn't met the two immortal elders, I wouldn't have dared to take advantage of it, right?"
Talking
The old Taoist took the opportunity to sit down, swept a few dusts on the table below with his shiny sleeves, and quickly greeted: "You two, please sit down, please sit down, let's sit down and chat."
He lowered his head and looked around. The old Taoist was also a little embarrassed. You can't let people sit on the ground, so he coughed quickly and said seriously: "Look at the two immortals, are you going to the north?"
Xu Changsheng smiled and squatted down, reaching the same level as the old man, but shook his head, "No, our brothers just came back from the north, and now we are going to visit our hometown."
The old Taoist didn't seem to hear him. He shook his head and stretched out his right hand like an eagle's claw. He made a few random calculations and said: "The northern border is still vast and the road is smooth in the south. It seems that the future for you two is quite bumpy."
Xue Nan crossed his arms and sneered: "Why doesn't Taoist master consider whether the feng shui of his shop is good or not?"
The old Taoist was excited, stood up immediately, and said tremblingly: "What the little Taoist said is all shown by the hexagrams. If there is anything inappropriate, please ask the two immortals to understand."
Xu Changsheng also smiled, clapped his hands, and stood up, "Since the Taoist Master can calculate one or two, how can we two brothers break the situation?"
The old Taoist scratched his head shyly, as if he was embarrassed, stretched out his right hand, rubbed his index finger and thumb together, raised his index finger again, and said with a smile: "It's the ancestor who appreciates the food, and those of us who are disciples also
We cannot let our ancestor suffer a loss."
After saying that, he shrank his head again, as if he was afraid of being beaten by the two "immortals".
Xue Nan took out a white water coin angrily and handed it over.
The goatee old man took a step back, touched his beard, and whispered: "It's a little missing."
