The old man nodded: "When fate comes, what is precious or not? However, since you think it is precious, then give me ten taels of silver as hard work payment."
"Ten taels of silver?" Liu Tian suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man warily. As a person on earth, no one understands better than him that everything that happens in the world is usually not a pie, but a trap.
"Yes, ten taels of silver is not expensive. I just want you to express your feelings."
Liu Tian smiled, becoming more and more convinced that the old man was a liar, but he did not intend to expose it: "Old senior, I don't have ten taels of silver, so I'm not afraid of your ridicule. I only have one tael of silver with me. You'd better go to another place for this great magic pill."
Find someone you're destined for. Besides, I won't participate in the competition."
When Liu Tian said he was destined to be a destined person, he deliberately made his voice louder. The meaning was self-evident.
The old man's eyes shot out a ray of light, and he coughed in embarrassment: "Ahem, little brother, it's such a pity that you don't participate in the competition. Okay, in that case, I'll find someone else. Goodbye, little brother.
"
With that said, the old man turned and left.
Liu Tian shook his head. It seemed that this exchange meeting was really a mixed bag, and there were many scammers. But this did not affect his mood. On the contrary, it made him feel that this is life.
Returning to the crowd, Liu Tian was suddenly attracted by a small vendor. This vendor was not selling elixirs or weapons. What he was selling had nothing to do with cultivators, because what he was selling was actually clothes.
and jewelry!
This is definitely a female killer! Whether she is a female cultivator or an ordinary woman, everyone has a love for beauty.
At this time, there were many couples and single women surrounding the small stall.
The stall owner is a fat man and he keeps talking.
Liu Tian came to the stall and bent down to pick up a phoenix hairpin. This hairpin was completely blue and inlaid with sparkling stones. It looked very beautiful.
"This little brother has such a good sense! This is an emerald phoenix hairpin. It would be the best thing to give to your girlfriend. Whoever wants to wear this hairpin will definitely be a king, and their temperament will be doubled in an instant!"
Fatty's voice came immediately.
Liu Tian smiled and said lightly: "How much does this hairpin cost?"
"Don't worry, the price is fair, and the market price is five hundred taels. Of course, it's a blackmail. Fifty taels! You only need fifty taels from me to take away such a graceful and luxurious emerald phoenix hairpin.
.Absolutely affordable!”
Liu Tian almost stumbled. He originally thought he could get it done with just a few taels of silver, but he didn't expect the fat man to ask for fifty taels. His monthly income at Sunset Peak was always the lowest. He only had one tael of silver every month, and even this time
For two silvers, I still have to buy wine for Feng Aotian.
With a wry smile, he put the emerald phoenix hairpin back.
He originally planned to give Qiu Ling'er something, but now it seems that he is too poor and can't buy anything at all.
"Brother, what's wrong? I think it's too expensive."
Seeing Liu Tian put down the hairpin, the fat man asked with a smile.
Liu Tian nodded and told the truth: "Well, it is indeed quite expensive."
"Well, since you look good and you are interested in buying it, I will give you forty taels."
Liu Tian still shook his head: "No, I can't afford it. I only have one tael of silver on me."
As soon as he said these words, the people around him laughed wildly.
"Who is this? You only have one tael of money and you want to go out and buy something? It's so funny. Hahaha."
"Looking at his clothes, he seems to be from the Jiutian Sect. It's really eye-opening that there are people in the Jiutian Sect who are so poor."
Liu Tian was speechless. It seemed that both cultivators and ordinary people needed money.
Shaking his head, he was about to turn around and leave when a woman's voice came from beside him.
"Junior brother, why did you come out in such a hurry and didn't bring any money? Let's do this. I'll pay for the hairpin for you first."
The sound is moving, like an oriole emerging from the valley.
Liu Tian turned around and saw that it was Qin Jianjia.
"This is... such an attractive figure and such a beautiful voice! Could it be that she is the legendary most beautiful woman of the Jiutian Sect, Qin Jianjia!"
"She must be right. I didn't expect that we could actually see Qin Jianjia in person, even though her face was covered! Ah, I really want to lift her veil and take a look at her appearance. I will have no regrets in this life or death!"
The crowd of onlookers immediately became excited.
"Senior Sister Jianjia, I..." Liu Tian wanted to say that he didn't have any money at all, it wasn't that he didn't have any money with him.
But Qin Jianjia planned his words: "No need to say more. I know you don't like to owe favors, but this is just a small matter. Stall owner, wrap it up."
When the fat man heard that someone was buying it, he quickly wrapped up the hairpin without saying a word: "No, girl, forty taels."
Qin Jianjia paid the silver and handed the hairpin to Liu Tian with a strange look in her eyes: "Who do you want to give this hairpin to?"
Liu Tian smiled awkwardly: "Giving it to a girl."
Qin Jianjia's body was shaken, and she found that her heart was inexplicably lost, but she still smiled and said: "Do I know that woman? Could it be my junior sister from Yun Aifeng?"
Liu Tian shook his head: "Her name is Qiu Ling'er. Senior sister, thank you for helping me out. I will pay back the money."
"No, just think of it as the storage fee for keeping things for me."
"How can that be done?" Liu Tian shook his head firmly.
Qin Jianjia turned around and did not dwell too much on the matter: "Would you like to go shopping with me?"
Liu Tian was stunned and said: "It's a great honor."
Then, amid the envious and jealous eyes of the crowd, Liu Tian and Qin Jianjia left side by side.
"Ah ah ah, heaven, all the good cabbage has been sacrificed by the pigs!"
Some people looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Senior sister, do you have anything to buy?" Liu Tian asked on the way.
Qin Jianjia shook her head: "I don't have anything to buy. I just came out to watch the excitement and happened to meet you."
"Then let's just walk around."
As the two of them walked forward, the crowd gradually became thinner, and as they went inside, there were fewer vendors.
From a distance, they looked like a couple strolling along the stone road.
But the strange thing is that none of them spoke, as if they were enjoying the tranquility.
"Hey, why are there so many people at the stall in front?" Qin Jianjia suddenly said.
Along the way, the crowd gradually thinned out, but at the end of the road there was a vendor surrounded by many people. And the same thing was that the men were handsome and the women were elegant.
"Let's go and take a look."
Liu Tian was also very curious.
When I got closer, I saw a plaque hanging in front of the stall, which was called: Saint of Poetry.
"Okay, since this brother has accepted my first couplet, how about I write another couplet." The voice of the stall owner came. Hearing the sound and looking around, he saw that the stall owner was a very handsome young man.
This was the first time Liu Tian saw a man so good-looking. His appearance might make most women jealous.
"Okay. Brother Mo, please come up with the last sentence." An elegant man, holding a folding fan in his hand, spoke confidently.
Qin Jianjia frowned slightly when she saw this man: "He actually came to our Jiutian Sect."
Liu Tian was stunned: "Do you know that man?"
"Well, I have seen him before. He is a member of the Divine Sword Sect, known as the Scholar Sword. He is one of the top three young masters of the Divine Sword Sect. In addition to his first-class swordsmanship, he also particularly likes poetry and songs. I didn't expect him to come to the Jiutian Sect.
.”
"The Divine Sword Sect?" Liu Tian had vaguely heard of the Divine Sword Sect. The Divine Sword Sect's status in Liangzhou was higher than that of the Jiutian Sect!
While they were talking, the two came to the stall and heard the stall owner Mo Wen say the first couplet: "The flowers on the other side are blooming on the other side."
As soon as his first couplet came out, everyone was thinking hard.
"Ah, it's so difficult, how to answer this sentence. It's really difficult."
"Yes, I wonder if Brother Scholar can come next."
At this time, Scholar Jian laughed loudly, shook the folding fan in his hand, and said: "I thought of it. The flowers on the other side are blooming on the other side. I will pick them up - Naihe Naihe Bridge."
"The flowers on the other side are blooming on the other side, but there's nothing you can do about the bridge! Good! Good connection!"
The crowd instantly boiled, and some female cultivators looked at Shu Sheng Jian with bewildered eyes, as if they wanted to eat Shu Sheng Jian alive.
In Kyushu, although strength is respected, when the strength reaches a certain level, playing poetry becomes a hobby for many people. This is very obvious in the Central Plains. Of course, most people like poetry purely to attract the attention of women.
Female cultivators absolutely like people who are both civil and military.
"Okay, brother scholar, please pick up another couplet from me. What comes next will not be that easy."
"Please listen to the first couplet: The goat goes up the mountain, and the mountain touches the goat's horns."
As soon as the first couplet came out, everyone was thinking hard. Even Scholar Sword was no exception.
"How about it? Have you figured it out? Time waits for no one." Mo Wen smiled lightly.
"Wait a minute..." Scholar Jian seemed to be in a hurry, and finally raised his brows, "Yes. I will write the second line: The buffalo goes into the water, and the water reaches the waist of the buffalo!"
"Well done, scholar, we love you!"
As soon as the second couplet came out, the female spectators cheered again.
"Yes, what about this couplet?" Mo Wen asked again, "Pine leaves, bamboo leaves, green leaves."
After hearing this, Scholar Jian spun around in circles, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he couldn't think of the second line in a short time.
Next to him, a group of beautiful cultivators kept cheering him up: "Brother scholar, come on, if you win, I will go with you tonight, and you can do whatever you want with others."
On the side, Liu Tian had to marvel at how open-minded these female cultivators were.
I don’t know if the refueling had any effect, but the burly scholar Jian finally said: "I thought of it! The sound of autumn geese sounds cold!"
Mo Wen frowned slightly: "Although your second line is a bit reluctant, it is still a good match. Okay, even if you are right, I will play the last link again, and if you are also right, I will give you a prize. Don't worry,
You won’t be disappointed with the prize.”
Scholar Jian shook his folding fan and said confidently: "Okay, please give me a question."
"Listen carefully, the first couplet is: smile when you open your mouth, laugh at the past and laugh at the present, laugh at the past and present."
Scholar Jian's scalp felt numb for a while, sweat overflowed from his forehead again, and the difficulty of this couplet increased a lot.
Time passed and Scholar Jian still couldn’t come up with a good second line.
Mo Wen smiled, and that smile was even more beautiful than that of a woman: "The time is coming, and it seems that you can't answer it. Is there anyone else who can answer it? Well, if not, that would really disappoint me. It's so lonely,
Life is lonely."
Don't stop sighing.
Seeing that Scholar Jian could not answer, Liu Tian heard Mo Wen's words and was about to answer, but unexpectedly Qin Jianjia beside him spoke.
"A big belly can accommodate it, and the sky and the earth can tolerate it. What can the heaven and earth not tolerate?"
