He passed by Xianjia Ferry several times before. Except for the one at the border of Shushui Country and Songxi Country, and the time he bought and sold at Qingfufang, Chen Ping'an either came and went in a hurry, or he just went shopping without buying. Today he simply went
After taking Pei Qian and the others around the ferry, Chen Ping'an gave each of the four people in the painting a small summer coin, allowing them to buy items on their own. The fairy money on the mountain has a saying of "thousands and hundreds of ten".
A piece of snow money is worth a thousand taels of silver from a secular dynasty. A piece of Xiaoshu money is worth a hundred thousand taels of real gold and silver. You don’t have to expect extravagant spiritual weapons and magic weapons, but there are some rare and interesting mountain objects with interesting craftsmanship. Buy a few and put them in your pocket.
It’s not difficult to take it out for daily use as a treat for your eyes.
They made an appointment with the four people in the painting to meet at the most famous place on the ferry an hour later. Chen Ping'an took Pei Qian to go shopping at the ferry. In a place like Qingfufang where an expert is in charge, there is a possibility of picking up things.
They are extremely small and relatively expensive. Some of the baggage houses without a place to stay are the ones that make people try their luck the most and test their eyesight. Most of these people are casual cultivators in the mountains and rivers. They live all over the world and like to learn from some family traditions.
They fell into the hands of the rich and powerful children of the past and collected them at low prices, or they claimed to be the ancestors of the family. The ancestors of the sect had produced golden elixirs and Yuan Ying earth immortals. There were roughly these ways to sell things. Buyers did not need to care about these. Chen Ping'an back then
I learned a lot from Xu Yuanxia, ​​a bearded hero who traveled all over the world. Later, Yao Jinzhi explained that "pairing in a cage" also belongs to this industry.
Pei Qian was not deeply involved in the world, so he was dazzled by the various fairy calligraphy and paintings, spiritual treasures, and charming mountain monsters that were found in various shops. Pei Qian was a bit good, and was ridiculed by Zhu Lian as a little glutton. He liked to collect things and would not refuse anyone who came.
, doesn’t like spending money and can’t afford to spend a penny. So no matter how coveted the object is, she will only look at it a few times and will never open the small sachet that Mrs. Gui gave as a gift. In the end, she used it as a money bag. She really likes it.
She just cut it into pieces, looked at it, and treated it as her own. She just kept it in the store temporarily.
Chen Ping'an had never been lavish, so he and Pei Qian walked around for about half an hour and walked through more than a dozen shops without taking out a single copper coin.
Halfway through, he met Bao Fangzhai, a middle-aged lame man with a simple and honest appearance. He claimed his surname was Liu, and you could call him Liu Gangzi. He saw Chen Pingan, who was dressed in white robes and carrying a white sheath sword on his back. He followed him for seven or eight hundred people.
Bu Lu, who was honest in appearance but not clumsy in speech, said that his grandfather was the general of Wenjing Kingdom. After the fall of Wenjing Kingdom, His Majesty the Emperor died on the way to escape and lost one of the seventeen treasures of Jiaotai Palace.
The Chihu Button Jade Seal was brought to the people by his grandfather. Now a great immortal master from Qingluan Kingdom has collected sixteen treasures, and the only thing left is this "Magic Treasure of Condensing Luck". In this collection industry, "seeking goodness and seeking perfection"
is the first priority, so this precious treasure that "may also contain the dragon spirit of national destiny" is priceless.
The reason why the man followed him seven or eight hundred steps away was that, firstly, the young man next to him looked like a wealthy young man. He had a good temper and did not chase people away, but listened carefully. Secondly, the man really believed that if the business did not open, there would be big trouble.
He had to suffer a lot. The New Year's Eve that he had finally deceived last year was related to three small summer coins, which could buy him several lives. He lived a miserable and miserable year. According to the rules, once the first month of this year is over, if there is no more
If the wrong person takes the bait, he will really suffer. The country has national laws and regulations, and it can really kill people.
In order to sell some things to survive, the man did everything possible. As a Qi practitioner in the third realm, he shamelessly followed along without saying a word, and even took the initiative to introduce the scenery of the ferry to the young man.
This Xianjia Ferry on the border of Qingluan Kingdom is called Fengwei Ferry. It originated from the beginning of the ferry's construction. It was once a small town. In history, there was a Jade Pu Realm deity who came from a young age here.
As a wild cultivator in Shanze, he entered the upper five realms with great perseverance and great opportunities. Various deeds of gods spread throughout the continent. He is extremely famous among all the wild cultivators in Aquarius Continent. His ancestral home is located on a road called Jiafeng.
The alley of the trail happened to be at the end of the alley, so in later generations this ferry was named Fengwei Ferry.
Since the ferry is located at the border of the three countries, in order to compete for the ownership of this alley and this ancestral house, for hundreds of years, the Tang family of Qingluan Kingdom and the two neighboring countries used pens and knives to fight on paper and on the battlefield.
There were countless fights, but the three parties had a tacit understanding that the war would not affect the ferry. For this reason, Guanhu Academy sent gentlemen and wise men to mediate the matter several times.
Thanks to the man's recommendation, there is a kind of well-water fairy brew in the ferry that is unique in the world. A piece of snow can cost a small pot. The high-ranking officials of Qingluan Kingdom like to use it to show off their extravagance. The young master is actually on the corner of a street.
I bought a pot of well-water wine from the shop and asked the shopkeeper for two white bowls. After I sat down, I actually smiled and extended my hand to the man to sit down and drink together. The man originally wanted to stand aside and act pitiful, but maybe the young master felt sympathy.
, so I bought his shabby belongings. It was really because of the alcohol bug in my stomach that I sat down and drank. While drinking, I complained that I couldn’t control my mouth. I thought that I was too greedy and drank too much, so I would probably end up like this.
I had mixed feelings about this transaction for a while, and I just tasted it as a bowl of guillotine wine.
Chen Ping'an clinked the wine bowls with the man and asked with a smile: "Since this jade seal is valuable, and there are immortal masters waiting for it to complete the seventeen treasures of Wenjing Kingdom, why don't you just come to sell it directly?"
The man had already prepared a plan to deal with such problems as buyers, and said with a wry smile on his face: "That old earthly immortal, his cultivation is as high as the heavens, but his character... I'm afraid I won't be able to spend the money if I take it."
The man's voice was deep and he spoke half of his words vaguely.
Chen Pingan nodded. This explanation makes sense. The gods on the mountain are said to be cultivators, but this path has eight hundred side paths and three thousand left paths. So it’s different that there are Ascension Realm monks like Du Mao on the mountain? It’s earlier, it’s different.
Is there Jiejiang Zhenjun Liu Zhimao from Shujian Lake? As for the evil-minded Qi practitioners from Fuji Zong Huantianjie, if their skills were not inferior to others, they would end up being killed thousands of miles away. Once he and Lu Tai were surrounded and killed, now
But he is really wealthy. With this kind of financial resources, there may be one or two more golden elixir immortals in the world.
The man probably felt that if he didn't take some strong medicine, he would miss this foreigner who was not short of money. He put down the wine bowl and whispered: "Actually, my ancestor was General Wen Jingguo, and the words were reserved for His Holiness."
, you brought it to me to deceive people. My grandfather was actually the owner of Anlefang, the capital of the old Wenjing Kingdom. Anlefang was first used as a place for the royal family to raise rare and exotic animals. Later, due to lack of financial resources, it was abandoned and used to house errant animals.
Later, she was deposed as a eunuch, a palace maid, and the subjugated king of the Wenjing Kingdom. She grew up in the filthy Anlefang when she was young. She was often taken care of by my grandfather when she was a child. Later, she became a prosperous person. From an illegitimate child who was hidden outside,
Somehow he became the emperor. No matter why the country fell, he was still a caring monarch. After that, he treated my grandfather very politely. After the capital was attacked by the Yunxiao Kingdom army, he fled to Anlefang. I was young at that time and can't remember anything.
, in short, this jade seal was handed down from my grandfather in the end. Before he left, my grandfather also told me that I must give the jade seal to the descendants of Wen Jingguo and not treat it as my own property..."
At this point, the man took a sip of wine and said with dull eyes, "I'm an unworthy descendant. I'm sorry for my grandfather's dying instructions, and I'm also sorry for the rumored Prince Wenjing who changed his surname and went to the mountains to practice Taoism."
The man's lips trembled and there were tears in his eyes, "Sir, please do a good deed and buy this jade seal, which is a national treasure. I can then buy wine and get drunk and pretend to be stupid. I don't have to face it every day and feel guilty to death."
"
Chen Ping'an poured the man another bowl of amber Shuijing Xianren Brewing, shook his head and said, "I can treat you to wine, but I won't buy anything."
The man still refused to give up, "Young master, don't you even take a look at it? I believe you can tell whether something is real or fake, and I won't regret it even if you bargain hard."
Chen Ping'an still shook his head, "I don't have any luck with wealth...so let's forget it. Find a buyer who knows the goods and is predestined. Don't waste your time on me."
Just as Pei Qian was about to speak, he glanced at Chen Pingan and immediately shut up.
After the man drank the second bowl of wine, he apologized and thanked him, then stood up and left in despair.
Pei Qian then said softly: "It's quite pitiful."
Chen Ping'an drank wine, "It's true that the pity is real, but the things may not be real."
Pei Qian wondered: "I haven't seen it, how do I know? What if it's true? We're not in a hurry anyway."
Chen Ping'an patiently explained: "If this unexpected event really falls on us, this is of course the best outcome. Let's talk about the worst outcome."
Pei Qian was confused, "Isn't it just a fake? We got it wrong and we cheated that guy out of some fairy money?"
Pei Qian suddenly slapped the table with both hands and said distressedly: "This is intolerable!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "What's the worst outcome? The worst case scenario is to design a fairy dance for others. Not only will they be forcefully bought and sold, but maybe once we can afford the fairy money, the other party will take advantage of it. So we might as well
Killing people and stealing goods. Let's just say that we are not familiar with this person. Even if his nature may not be that bad, once he encounters a difficult obstacle, such as owing a lot of debt, the person who owes the debt is weak and the person who collects the debt is ruthless.
Taken together, the poor man must be hateful. If we pity him now, who will pity us then?"
Pei Qian thought carefully and said, "There are quite a few of us. Anyway, we are justified. How about we kill them with a few punches?"
Chen Ping'an swallowed his chest and said, "When you go out, if you only rely on your fists to reason, then Du Mao can meet us, but we can't meet others?"
Pei Qian said aggrievedly: "But we are good people? The old thief Du is not. The evil man was struck by lightning. After death, he went into the oil pan, pulled out his tongue, cut out his heart and liver, and poured red iron juice into his mouth..."
Chen Pingan interrupted Pei Qian's nonsense, "Where did you know these things?"
Pei Qian said with lingering fear: "Last time I was admiring lanterns at Old Dragon City during the Lantern Festival, there were so many lantern festivals that were said by novices to 'warn the world and educate people, shock evil and encourage good'. I stared at it with wide eyes for a while.
I don’t think it has much to do with me, but it’s said in the book, if there are problems, correct them and encourage them.”
Chen Ping'an now has a small medicinal wine in his sword gourd, so he can't put it in the Shuijingxianren wine, which is a specialty of the ferry. He also has a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine donated by the Fan family and placed in the jade plaque nearby. In fact, there is no shortage of it in the past year.
After a good drink to satisfy my craving, I only bought two jars from the store. I planned to put them together with the sweet-scented osmanthus wine later. When they arrived at Luolu Mountain, they buried them together behind the bamboo building. One jar every ten years was considered one of Chen Pingan's rich assets.
Already.
At the entrance of Bee Tail Alley, I met Wei Xian and four other people who were arriving one after another.
During this trip to Fengwei Ferry, Chen Ping'an didn't find anything particularly interesting. He only bought Pei Qian a book about sages with rich pictures and text. The prints were well-engraved and every word was full of spirit.
Just when Chen Ping'an was about to leave the ferry, a young man carrying an empty wine bottle walked out of the alley. He was tall and had a fine iron chain-like belt around his waist.
Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes for a moment, but soon returned to his normal expression. He decided to do more than not, and pretended not to recognize him.
Unexpectedly, the man saw Chen Pingan, walked quickly to Chen Pingan, stretched out his finger and pointed. He probably vaguely recognized Chen Pingan, but couldn't remember his last name, and he looked a little anxious for a while.
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, Chen Pingan had no choice but to say hello with a smile and said in the elegant language of Aquarius Island: "We met once at the gate of that small town. I was inside with the gatekeeper, and you were standing there
Outside the fence gate, you have such a good memory that you can still recognize me after such a long time."
The burly young man smiled and nodded, feeling a little happy, "Yes, it's you. Apart from the gatekeeper, you are the first local person in the town that I met. I never thought I would see you here again. At first I thought
I dare not recognize you, you have changed too much, you said that I have a good memory, but I think you are not bad at all, you are even better than me."
Seeing Chen Ping'an holding two pots of Shuijing Xianren Brewing in his hands, the young man with a green stubble on his chin smiled and said: "You have lost money on Shuijing Liquor. The real Xianren Brewing can be drunk from the three oldest wells."
Wine is made from water. The two pots you have are the result of unscrupulous merchants who dug more than a dozen new wells without permission. The taste is not right. Come on, I will take you to buy real old water well wine, otherwise you are a bee-tailed person.
If you cross the river, it will be a wasted trip."
As soon as he took a step, he laughed and said: "Forget it, the world is dangerous, let's not get close."
The burly young man reported the addresses of two wine shops to Chen Pingan, "If you want to buy wine, go by yourself. I won't make people think that I'm being courteous for nothing, so that both of you and I won't be worried."
To be continued...
