Chapter Thirty-ninth: the trouble of not having money
Back in the hall, Liu Tian and Qiu Linger were both there.
"Master, you are all here, just in time, let's go out for a walk."
"Going out for a walk? Where to go?"
Qiu Ling'er looked confused.
"Let's go to Donglun Peak. Xiaobi will be arriving soon. Before that, there will be an exchange meeting at Donglun Peak, selling everything. It's very lively."
"Really? Ling'er really wants to go. Master Aotian, you should also come with us."
When Qiu Ling'er heard this, she was extremely excited.
Feng Aotian waved his hand lazily: "You go ahead, I won't go. For me, as long as there is wine, it is heaven."
"Master Aotian, won't you come with us?"
Qiu Linger was a little disappointed.
Liu Tian smiled faintly and said: "It is said that at the exchange meeting, there will also be good wine for sale. Since you are not going, Master, then forget it..."
"Good wine!" Before Liu Tian could finish his words, Feng Aotian's eyes suddenly shot out a ray of light, "Go, who said I won't go! Let's go, let's set off now."
The sound was still lingering, and Feng Aotian took the lead to go out.
Liu Tian smiled, shook his head, and followed.
Soon, the three of them arrived at Donglun Peak.
At this time, Donglun Peak was crowded with people, and there was noisy everywhere.
If you stand on the top of Donglun Peak and look up at the foot of the mountain, you will find that Donglun Peak is surrounded by a sea of people, forming circles of circular waves that extend for hundreds of meters.
"This is the exchange meeting. It's so lively. Wow, Brother Tian, there is a candied haws seller over there." Qiu Ling'er's eyes were blurred.
"Want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Although Liu Tian didn't have much money, he could still afford the candied haws.
"The wine smells so good! It's so pure! Liu Tian, just go shopping with Ling'er. I'm going to find heaven for my teacher." Feng Aotian's voice came, and then disappeared from the sight of the two of them. He is really addicted to alcohol.
Liu Tian shook his head and shouted: "Here is a bunch of candied haws."
The old man selling candied haws turned around immediately.
When they turned around, the old man and Liu Tian were both stunned.
"Is it you?"
"Hey, little brother, it's you. You and I are really destined."
Liu Tian knew this old man, and it turned out that he was the old man who had been cheating and abducting people on the first day. However, the old man no longer wore a shawl, but had his hair neatly arranged and shiny. He looked much younger, like a mature middle-aged man.
Liu Tian really wouldn’t recognize it unless he looked carefully.
"Are you selling candied haws of apples now?" Liu Tian's face twitched.
"Little brother, you have good eyesight, you can recognize me like this. Hey, don't mention it, the world is not easy to deal with. There were too many fake elixirs sold in the past few days, and many people are looking for me. No, I can only
Rebrand and sell candied haws."
Liu Tian had a dark look on his face. It seemed that the old man had tricked a lot of people, but what puzzled him was that the old man had tricked so many people and still dared to stay in Donglun Peak. Although he was now the same slovenly person as he was a few days ago.
There is a difference in his image, but it is not unrecognizable. The old man is really courageous.
At this time, Qiu Ling'er's voice suddenly came: "Brother Tian, do you know each other?"
The old man then focused his attention on Qiu Ling'er. At that moment, the old man's body trembled and his eyes kept shrinking, as if he had discovered something incredible, but his reaction was just fleeting and fleeting.
He quickly returned to normal: "Little brother, is this girl your little girlfriend? Are you going to buy her candied haws?"
"Ahem." The old man's words made Liu Tian embarrassed.
Qiu Linger's face was also red.
But for some reason, neither of them denied it.
Finally, Liu Tian spoke: "Okay, give me two bunches of candied haws."
"Okay! Two bunches of candied haws. Take them."
"How much?"
"The price is fair, and I don't deceive anyone. Three taels of silver per string, and only five taels of silver for two strings!"
Liu Tian's hand that was taking out money suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but cursed: "My God, are you cheating on me? The candied haws of sugar is so expensive? The price is fair, and you are innocent."
Damn it, the market price of these candied haws on a stick is at most two cents. This has doubled!
"You're not going to tell me you have no money, are you?"
The old man looked at Liu Tian with contempt.
Liu Tian nodded: "I only have one tael of silver, do you want it?"
The old man was speechless: "Damn, I've never seen anyone poorer than me. Forget it, for the sake of our fate, I won't charge you any money. Just treat this candied haws as a gift from me to this little girl. But
, I want to have a few words with the little girl alone."
"Do you want to have a few words with Ling'er alone?" Liu Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man warily. Could it be that this old immortal is not only greedy for money but also lustful?
"I'll go! Don't look at me with such a slutty look. Although I'm greedy for money, I'm not lewd. Don't worry, I'm just saying a few words." He cursed, regardless of whether Liu Tian agreed or not.
He said to Qiu Ling'er, "Come on, little girl, come here."
Qiu Ling'er glanced at Liu Tian, saw Liu Tian nodded, and then walked over: "Old senior, what do you want to say to me?"
The old man looked very mysterious. He led Qiu Ling'er to a corner, and specifically told Liu Tian not to follow too closely, and then whispered something to Qiu Ling'er.
Liu Tian could only see Qiu Ling'er nodding, shaking her head, and being at a loss.
"What on earth is this old man doing?"
The reason Liu Tian didn't stop the old man from talking to Qiu Ling'er was because he felt that the old man was not simple. This was his intuition.
The two talked for a while before walking back together. Judging from their expressions, the old man seemed a little disappointed. He kept sighing: "What a pity, what a pity."
Liu Tian said calmly: "Old senior, now that you are done talking, can we leave?"
The old man did not answer, but looked at Qiu Linger: "Are you really not thinking about it anymore?"
Qiu Ling'er shook her head: "I don't want to leave Sunset Peak, Brother Tian and Master Aotian. Brother Tian, let's go."
After saying this, Qiu Ling'er took Liu Tian's hand and left, leaving the old man behind who kept sighing.
"Oh, what a pity. What a pity. The beast blood that this girl awakened must be her! It must be her! Otherwise, the beast blood in my body would not produce such a great excitement. Unfortunately, she does not know how to use it, and she has no
Cultivation, waste of natural resources, waste of natural resources! Others long for the beast blood that they can’t get in ten lifetimes, but she doesn’t care so much.”
If Liu Tian heard what the old man said, he would definitely be shocked.
The weak Qiu Ling'er has actually awakened the beast blood! And the level seems to be not low.
On the way, Liu Tian still couldn't help but be curious and asked: "Qiu Ling'er, what did that old man want to do with you just now?"
Qiu Ling'er said: "Actually, it's nothing. He just asked me if I wanted to practice with him. He has the most suitable martial arts, magic and martial arts for me."
"Yes, it's better not to agree. We don't know him either."
Although Liu Tian felt that the old man was not simple, his feelings were not the truth. Qiu Ling'er's refusal was the right choice. Who knows what the greedy old man had in mind.
Qiu Ling'er nodded and suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Tian, look, there is a shadow puppet show over there! It's a shadow puppet show!"
Liu Tian looked around and saw a small tent appearing in his sight, with two large characters of shadow puppets posted on the outside.
"Let's go take a look, Brother Tian."
Qiu Ling'er took Liu Tian's hand and ran over in a hurry, but was stopped at the entrance of the tent. A doorman said: "You two are objective, the shadow puppet show starts in five minutes. But please buy tickets for admission. Each ticket is ten
Two pieces of silver."
"Twelve?"
Liu Tian and Qiu Ling'er were both stunned.
Liu Tian secretly cursed, is this exchange meeting a rip-off? Although Liu Tian didn’t know how much it would cost to watch a shadow puppet show outside, it would definitely not be that expensive!
However, this price is only for Liu Tian. For any cultivator, ten taels of silver is just a small amount.
"Qiu Ling'er, it seems we can't watch this show."
Liu Tian smiled bitterly, he was really too poor!
Qiu Ling'er nodded: "Well, it's too expensive. I remember it only cost five cents when I was a kid."
"Have you ever seen shadow puppets?"
"No. Although it's only five cents, our family can't afford it... However, my mother made shadow puppets for me to see. It's really good-looking. It's really good-looking. 55555. I will never forget it. My mother made shadow puppets for me."
It’s a shadow puppet show.”
Qiu Ling'er said, tears fell down, but she kept repeating it, it was really beautiful.
Liu Tian had no idea how much hardship these two women had endured, but he really felt sorry for her. At the same time, he hated that he had no strength and no money. He couldn't even satisfy Qiu Ling'er's small wish!
It seems that no matter which world you are in, you must pay attention to strength, and strength is not just fists, but also money! A penny will starve a hero to death. This sentence still makes sense.
"Ling'er, don't worry, Brother Tian will definitely invite you to watch shadow puppet shows from now on."
"To be objective, do you want to buy a ticket? Ten taels of silver is not expensive at all. If you don't buy a ticket, please leave, okay? You are blocking the guests behind you." The doorman's voice suddenly came.
Just as Liu Tian was about to take Qiu Ling'er away, a cold voice came: "If you can't afford a ticket, don't embarrass yourself here. It will damage the reputation of our Jiutian Sect."
Liu Tian frowned slightly and turned around to see that the person speaking was actually Lin Qinshan from the Tianshan Mountain Peak. His injuries seemed to have fully recovered, presumably because he had taken the elixir.
"You still dare to appear in front of me?" Liu Tian's face turned cold.
Before Lin Qinshan could speak, the fellow disciple next to him snorted coldly: "Liu Tian, don't be too proud. Last time, senior brother Qinshan was too careless and underestimated you. If senior brother Qinshan is really serious, ten
You are not worth mentioning!"
Liu Tian smiled faintly and said nothing.
At this time, Lin Qinshan walked up to Qiu Ling'er and said, "Qiu Ling'er, do you like watching shadow puppet shows? How about I go with you."
Qiu Ling'er shook her head: "Thank you. If Brother Tian doesn't read it, I won't read it either. I appreciate your kindness. Also, I told you, I don't like you."
Lin Qinshan frowned slightly: "Do you really like this loser? What is good about him, and what am I inferior to him? I am the tenth young master of Tianshan Mountain. Could it be that I..."
Before Lin Qinshan finished speaking, Qiu Ling'er suddenly shouted: "That's enough! I won't allow you to call Brother Tian a wimp!"
