On the yellow mud path, a few villagers carrying hoes were chatting and laughing. When they saw Zhan Changfeng, they gave way slightly. It wasn't that they were disgusted or disdainful, but they were just a little frightened by instinct.
Seeing her walking away with the backpack on her back, several people started talking to each other, "The things in the backpack are all sticking out. I guess it's quite heavy. How does it look like she's carrying a ball of air?"
"Hey, don't tell me. I once saw her hunting a wild boar that was as big as a calf. The mane on its neck was as straight as needles, and its two pale fangs were still turned outwards. It roared and charged towards her.
, she is so good..."
"What's so exciting about this now? Tell me quickly."
"She didn't retreat, but stepped forward and killed it with a sword!"
Several villagers were lamenting.
"I heard that she knows how to use a sword. Did Luo Laizi from the east of the village teach her how to use a sword?"
"It was he who taught her. It is said that she once saw Luo Laizi playing swordsmanship and went to ask for swordsmanship, but was rejected. Luo Laizi threatened that he would not teach the girl even if he died. As a result, the next day, she changed her outfit and pretended to be a swordsman.
A foreigner passing by happened to see him playing swordsmanship and went to ask for advice. Luo Laizi happily taught him, but she showed off her cards after a day or two of learning, which made Luo Laizi angry for several days.
A few people with good connections know about it."
"No wonder I haven't heard of it. So what happened next?"
"What else can she do? Although she may have lied to others, she confessed to herself and sent food to Luo Laizi's house every now and then. Luo Laizi is a lonely old man who is about to die. He is thankful to have someone to send him to his death."
The villagers walked to the roadside and got out of the paddy field, revealing the beautiful woman behind them. She was holding a brass mirror in her hand and thought, "In three years, wine, sex and wealth cannot change his aspirations, and slander, rumors and accusations cannot change his behavior.
He taught himself the art of swordsmanship and the meaning of scriptures, gained dignity in life, but was not proud of it, and behaved like a hermit, even better than a guest in the clouds."
Every word she said appeared on the brass mirror. She hesitated for a moment, but still felt that there was no need to specifically mention the matter of deceiving Luo Laizi.
This person lost his memory for three years. He was forced to marry by the village chief in exchange for saving his life. He suffered unwarranted accusations and isolation from the villagers. He also faced the temptation of wealth and power, but he often used the sword to resolve it with reason and etiquette.
, I have never harmed anyone. I mostly practice myself and don’t care about things outside the window.
Even though he deceived Luo Laizi, he finally confessed in time, took care of Luo Laizi's daily life, and turned the hostility into friendship.
The most important thing is that she did not show any wavering or hesitation in her actions. She seemed to be a naturally celibate person who faced all suffering and corruption with indifference.
It is extremely rare to lose memory and strength and reveal one's true nature to be so cautious.
The bright woman finished recording, put away the brass mirror, and took out a compass. With a flick of her finger, a subtle change occurred somewhere, "The second level begins."
——
The market in the town mainly focuses on crops and livestock, but because Shan Laoda is here as a treasure house, there are many shops that are only found in the city. These shops are concentrated on one street.
Zhan Changfeng walked through the crowd of chickens and ducks flapping and haggling, and walked towards the medicine shop she frequented not far away, preparing to sell the herbs in her basket with dedication and dedication. Suddenly, an alley appeared beside her, as if she had been there all along.
There, I just discovered the same thing now.
The narrow and long alley is like an invisible curtain, and the bustle at the other end becomes distant and mysterious.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, walked past, and went directly into the drug store. It was dark inside, most of the shelves were empty, and there was no trace of humanity. It didn't look like a store.
Zhan Changfeng knocked on the counter, and his fat butler appeared from behind. He wore his hat crookedly and had vine marks on his plump face. He had obviously just been lazy and dozing off.
"Hey, it's you." He greeted him warmly, but Zhan Changfeng pointed at his face.
"Ah? What?"
"saliva."
The fat steward quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled silly.
His name is Pang Ye, a silly and cunning fox.
Zhan Changfeng lives on the mountain just like the villagers, but she is less afraid of death than ordinary people. If others circle around the outside, if she dares to enter the inner circle, the goods she finds will naturally be of higher quality.
Pang Ye often came to the village to buy herbal medicines, and they got to know each other as soon as they went there. Zhan Changfeng basically sold all the supplies to him.
"What good things did you bring today?" This place is too remote and there are few capable people. No one dares to enter the deep mountains and old forests. The herbs that can be purchased are only a few decades or hundreds of years old at most. Only this person can come up with it.
Get something decent.
Zhan Changfeng carried a bag to the counter, and Pang Ye took out something while muttering about the value.
"Ten years of clear grass. Forty years of autumn ginseng, equivalent to one hundred taels."
"I'll take another look, okay. The hundred-year-old Moshu Vine counts as one thousand taels."
"Huh?" Pang Ye touched a box. He had been in this business for so long. As soon as he got the box, he knew that it was a special tool made of Haijinmu. Oh yes, it was given to him from his own hands.
Herbal medicines, flowers and fruits that require the use of utensils are mostly fragile and fragile treasures. All rare treasures are guarded by vicious beasts. How could she have the ability to snatch food from the mouths of vicious beasts?
Pang Ye's eyes circled around Zhan Changfeng, but he was leisurely admiring the ornaments in the corner and ignored him at all.
As soon as the box was opened, Pang Ye hissed, Thousand-year-old lunar eclipse teeth?!
This herb is light green all over, its leaves are like crescent moons, and there are light golden hairs on the edges, which seems to be covered with a halo, it is not the crescent moon.
It is a treasure that can cure hundreds of poisons, and people have actually found it.
Pang Ye thought about it, and added a thousand silver to the value of a thousand years, and added two thousand silver to its own value. He said with a smile, "This is a pretty good thing, I'll count you one thousand eight hundred!"
Zhan Changfeng moved his hand, and the box closed with a snap, "Shopkeeper Pang, do you think I don't know the goods?"
"Hey, how dare you," Pang Ye continued to compile shamelessly, "the price I give you for a Ye'erwan plant is already quite fair."
"Ye'erwan?" Zhan Changfeng was too lazy to argue with the pretender, and said bluntly, "The Moon Eclipse Teeth are not for sale. We only exchange three pieces of information. Do you agree?"
"this..."
"one"
"No, I..."
"two"
Zhan Changfeng put away his things, turned around and left.
"Oh, let me go, you haven't counted to three yet!" Pang Ye jumped out of the counter in a hurry to catch up, "I mean, ancestors, you should let me think about it, or what if I can't answer your question?"
"Someone will be able to answer it."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Pang Ye nodded wildly helplessly. Although this person was quiet, she always spoke and acted the same way. She said that I will ask you to answer, and I will not give you a second choice.
At least this is the limit of his answer, right?
"Just ask."
Zhan Changfeng tapped the dark box, "Where did it come from?"
"Where did it come from? You mean the box." Pang Ye let out a breath, "Hey, I thought you were going to ask something serious."
"My boss bought this box from Yunshui Society. It is specially used to store exotic flowers and herbs. If you want it, I still have it there, but not many."
"What could Yunshui be?"
"Eh, you don't even know this?" Pang Ye touched his chin, squinting his little eyes. Zhan Changfeng glanced at him faintly before he laughed and said, "That's right, you are not a Taoist."
"Yun Shui would say it is famous, but it is not famous either. It is famous because all those who practice Taoism know that there is such a place where heroes gather. It is not famous because..." Pang Ye lowered his voice and pointed to the top, "It's not that
Is it a gathering of heroes? It is like a secular court, which is very far away for the common people."
