Chapter 23 Twilight Cloud Market(1/2)
The Dragon King of the East China Sea Ao Guang once said:
"...If you need anything, just hold this bead to the edge of the Shuifu Pool, and the patrol soldiers will receive it..."
Thinking of this, Yuan Kang held the Ling Mirage Pearl, stood beside the sea eye pool, and shouted:
"Where are the patrol soldiers!"
The cave is quiet.
There was no movement in the sea eye pool.
This is not the way? Yuan Kang scratched his head, thought for a while, soaked the Lingmirage pearl in water, and yelled again:
"Where are the patrol soldiers?"
In a blink of an eye, layers of small waves appeared on the water surface of the sea eye pool.
Yuan Kang was relieved only after he was about to do so.
The waves are like whirlpools rising rapidly.
puff--
A black-scaled monster fish, like a big black fish, rose out of the vortex on the water surface.
The strange fish's tail splits and stands on the water like "two feet". The fish body stands up, with its left and right fins like "two hands", holding a small three-stranded stud fork.
The fish head is somewhat anthropomorphic, with holes in the nose, big beans in the eyes, and two whiskers on the mouth. It looks strange and funny.
"Donghai Haiyan Yasha Primary School, Boba, please see the guests!"
The strange fish saluted respectfully and spoke to others.
It's interesting... Yuan Kang looked at the strange fish with great interest and said:
"Your Dragon King once told me that if you have any demand, you will use this pearl to summon the patrol soldiers. Do you know this?"
The strange fish who claimed to be a sacred Boba bowed and said:
"The primary school knows this. What instructions do the guests have? The primary school will definitely do it!"
Yuan Kang was slightly slit, but at the same time he scratched his head a little. Because he didn't know which items belonged to the category of treasures of heaven and earth. He couldn't write a list of things...
"Well......"
"You just need to report back to the Dragon Palace and say that the Shangguan Yuan Kang needs some objects of heaven and earth treasures, the more the more the better, and quickly send them to the water palace."
After Yuan Kang finished speaking, Xiboba immediately said respectfully: "Abide by the order! The school immediately returned to the palace to report!"
It twisted the fish body, jumped back, and then fell into the whirlpool again, disappearing and the water surface returned to calm.
"I guess it will be delivered so easily for a while... Now we should consider the issue of food and clothing..."
Yuan Kang looked at himself from the reflection of the water surface of the pool. Although he still looked like a handsome scholar, he was wearing a simple green dress that was casually arranged in Gaoling County.
To be honest, this image is too down-and-out, and Yuan Kang is not very satisfied.
Moreover, since I left Gaoling County, I have not eaten anything yet, and I am really hungry.
However, this kind of hunger is an instinctive reaction. In fact, Yuan Kang's body can be completely unhealthy for three days and two nights without eating or drinking.
To exaggerately, Yuan Kang is no longer a normal person at this moment.
Taking "Chaoyuan Dan Liquid" twice, his body was greatly strengthened, and his energy power doubled will not be mentioned for the time being. In his "Eight Nine Profound Kung Fu Jindan" in his consciousness, there are also 30% Fire Marquis.
To be serious, Yuan Kang is already a qi refiner who is one step away from the ghost immortal. But he is too special and he doesn't think it can't be seen by others.
When Yuan Kang thought of eating, he couldn't help it.
Five miles away from this cave, there is a village. If you want to get some food and drink and get a few more clothes, you can only go there.
But how can you do without money?
Yuan Kang scratched his head a little again.
You can’t rely on your ability to change and steal, right? What’s the difference between it and monsters!
I am a very good young man with a positive outlook on his own!
Yuan Kang inspected the entire cave, wanting to see what was going on.
There were several separate stone chambers in the cave, and Yuan Kang had never inspected them.
In a stone room, there are simple bookcases, and there are actually many book books and classics collected by the people. Whether it is the Four Books and Five Classics, documents from past dynasties, martial arts, miscellaneous notes, historical materials, poems, songs, etc., there are all kinds of books and classics.
There is another alchemy room with some alchemy equipment that Yuan Kang couldn't understand.
Finally, there is a meditation room with futons, incense burners and other objects, and a portrait of Sanqing hanging on the wall.
The other rooms are decorated with some miscellaneous items and antiques.
Yuan Kang's eyes lit up and saw a fake tree with a few golden leaves hanging.
He immediately pulled off a golden leaf without any politeness and put it in his pocket. Then he quickly opened the stone gate of the cave and left.
Standing at a high place and looking away, Yuan Kang pulled out a piece of his hair, pinched his fingers, and shouted inwardly:
"Change!"
Pang--
In an instant, clouds and mists sputtered, and the ground was surging and the wind gushed!
Yuan Kang turned into a magpies, flapped his wings and flew towards the village.
It's about five miles away, and it's just a short while.
Yuan Kang looked around and couldn't help but feel a little happy. Because outside the village, there was another market with a wide range, and the archway was hung with the guise of "Muyun Market".
There are many travelers and surrounding residents doing business in the market.
This place is one of the gathering areas for the collection and sale of seafood in the surrounding villages and towns, so the daily life is quite lively.
Yuan Kang dispersed his magical powers and quietly came out of a corner, took a look at a restaurant, and quickly ran over.
The business of the restaurant is pretty good. There is a elegant hall in the inner room, a shed outside, and tables and chairs. The signature food is "single wonton" and "shrimp mallet".
Yuan Kang smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, and his stomach was even more roaring. Finally, he could have a good meal!
"Boss, how to exchange a cent of gold for money?"
Yuan Kang walked to the counter and asked whispered.
The circulating Tang Dynasty was Kaiyuan Tongbao, and gold, silver and other things needed to be exchanged for Kaiyuan coins before they could be used. In Chang'an Jingcheng, one tael of gold can be exchanged for 4,000 coins.
"Three hundred cents." The restaurant owner replied without raising his head.
There are merchants in Muyun Market, so it is common to exchange gold and silver. But a tiny of gold can be exchanged for 400 ci in the capital, and then it is cut to 300 ci.
"OK."
Yuan Kang didn't refute, and reached out to break a corner of the golden leaf in his pocket and handed it to the boss.
The boss is also a judging person. His eyes suddenly lit up. He nibbled Jinye and nodded with a smile for a moment: "The best guy, the customer is so generous!"
As he said that, he took out four hanging coins from his purse and pushed them to Yuan Kang.
The first time Yuan Kang used such a cumbersome coins, although he felt it was troublesome, he had to sit back on the table and chairs with heavy money strings.
I ordered two large bowls of "single wontons" and three servings of "shrimp mallet".
Wontons are filled with fish and shrimp, plus green onion soup, which is fragrant. Shrimp Mat is made by wrapping shrimp with wheat flour and frying it with oil, and served with wontons, which are even more crispy and delicious.
Yuan Kang was drooling, and after the wontons and shrimp mallet were served, he immediately started to eat and had a lot of fun.
As I was eating, I saw a little girl in rags and an old man like a homeless man begging tremblingly begging next to me.
The little girl had a pale face and a thin skin, with a messy hair, and a pair of black eyes. She just stared at the food on Yuan Kang’s table pitifully, swallowing her saliva, obviously enduring hunger.
The old man beside her is already in his twilight years, his thin clothes are covered with ragged patches, and he is leaning on a wooden stick, which looks like a gust of wind can blow down. It is really miserable.
Yuan Kang couldn't stand it and waved:
"Come on, are you hungry? Come here, I'll buy you food!"
The little girl hid behind the old man in a cowardly manner, not daring to speak out.
When the old man heard what Yuan Kang said, he quickly bowed and bowed repeatedly, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Who is a good person, thank you for your kindness! Thank you!"
He led the little girl to Yuan Kang and whispered: "Hurry, thank you for your husband!"
The little girl was very sensible and immediately wanted to kneel down and bow down to her head.
Yuan Kang held it and whispered: "No, come, sit down. Old man, too, eat first."
He called a friend and ordered two more bowls of wontons and two shrimp mallets.
After a while, the food was on the table. However, the little girl still tried to resist and dared not move her chopsticks, just staring at the old man.
The old man thanked him a few more times. Yuan Kang pushed the bowl to the little girl and said with a smile:
"Eat it, be careful to be hot. Eat it slowly, there is still not enough."
