The caravan finally walked out of the Lianyun Mountains and entered Qingtian City.
Although this city is not yet the county seat of Biyun County, its prosperity is no less than that of Qingshui County.
The magnificent city gate is taller than the county seat of Qingshui County. Even in the evening, there is still an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city.
Lei Xingkong had also passed through Qingtian City before when he went on an expedition with the army, but the army usually did not enter the city and only stationed outside the city, so this was his first time to come to Qingtian City.
The caravan entered Qingtian City and headed for the inn.
Along the way, the people in the city were not too surprised by the convoy of nearly eighty carriages, as if it was a common sight.
After settling down at the inn, everyone in the caravan immediately got busy.
After walking in the Lianyun Mountains for several days, the dry food, drinking water, horse feed and other supplies that I brought with me have been used up to 77%. Now that I arrived at Qingtian City, it was a good opportunity to replenish supplies.
Zhou Jiuchong was busy replenishing the carriage and had no time to distract himself.
Lei Xingkong said hello, then led the little girl Zhou Xiaozhi out of the inn, and slowly started wandering around the bustling streets of Qingtian City.
"Brother, there are candied fruits to buy there!"
"Brother, look, it's candied haws!"
"Brother, I also want a small-faced person, is that okay?"
…
Along the way, the happiest person was naturally the little girl. She would look at this and that, and she would keep shouting.
Lei Xingkong felt funny in his heart. Whatever the little girl liked, he bought it for her. Anyway, they were just small items and didn't cost much.
The two of them walked around for a while, and the little girl had a lot of things in her hands.
She was silent for a while, then suddenly whispered to Lei Xingkong: "Brother, you treat me so well!"
"Um?"
Lei Xingkong turned his head and saw that there was some moisture in the little girl's eyes. He couldn't help but touched her head and said with a smile: "What's this worth? See how happy it makes you?"
The little girl shook her head and said: "Normally, my father doesn't have time to take me to the street to play. Now you not only take me shopping, but also buy me so many things. Brother, you are so kind!"
Lei Xingkong thought for a while, the little girl had been running around with her father since she was a child, and her father was busy making a living and had no time to take care of her. It was pitiful to think about it, so he said: "Okay, I promise you, if you go into the city again on the way, I will take you with me."
Let’s go shopping and buy you some delicious food, okay?”
"good!"
The little girl nodded, turned her little head, looked around, then pointed to an attic not far ahead and said to Lei Xingkong: "Brother, don't you want to go to Jibao Pavilion to have a look? That is
Already."
"oh?"
Lei Xingkong looked at the Jibao Pavilion. From a distance, there was nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary tall pavilion.
However, the more extraordinary it looks on the outside, the less simple it may be inside.
Otherwise, this Treasure Collection Pavilion would not attract the high-ranking officials and nobles.
The two of them walked to the door. The surroundings were quiet, which seemed very different from the bustling scene on the street.
Right above the gate, there is a huge plaque with the words "Jibao Pavilion" written on it, and at the entrance, there is a huge screen as the entrance, so that no one can see inside.
"Well?"
Lei Xingkong was about to step in when he suddenly heard a surprised moan from the little god deep in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Lei Xingkong asked immediately.
The little god replied: "I sensed that... there was a good fire in this Treasure Collection Pavilion!"
"What? Is there a good fire?"
Lei Xingkong's heart skipped a beat, and he felt both surprised and happy.
Before, Xiao Shen said that good fire can only appear in the deep mountains and swamps. I didn't expect that good fire would appear in this prosperous Qingtian city. This is really unexpected...
The little god said: "Yes, it must be a good fire. The fire energy is extremely strong. Although there seems to be something to restrain it, it still leaks a tiny trace and cannot escape my induction."
Lei Xingkong couldn't help but raise his head, and glanced at the three-character plaque "Jibao Pavilion" again, thinking to himself: "This Treasure Pavilion is indeed extraordinary. I didn't expect that there is a good fire in it... However, if it really looks like this
As Xiaozhi said, the items in Jibao Pavilion are all priced very high, and the good fire hidden there may also be expensive, can I afford it?"
Lei Xingkong came to Beijing this time with only one thousand silver baht in his pocket. Yu Hongtian gave him five hundred and his mother gave him five hundred.
This amount of money would be a large sum if placed in an ordinary person's home, but if placed in a place like Jibao Pavilion, it would not be enough to see.
"No matter, let's go in and take a look first."
Lei Xingkong came to his senses and walked directly into the gate of Jibao Pavilion with the little girl.
The Jibao Pavilion is a very large place. There are four shelves placed around the lobby, which are filled with treasures and antiques, as well as calligraphy and painting scrolls.
In the middle of the lobby, there are several large square tables, and there are some small objects placed on each table. Although they are scattered widely, they do not feel messy at all.
There were only two clerks in the entire lobby. They were all wearing uniform silk and brocade clothes. When they saw Lei Xingkong and Zhou Xiaozhi entering, they both raised their heads and smiled at them and nodded.
One of them quickly came over and asked politely: "You two, is there anything you want to see that you like?"
Lei Xingkong shook his head and said directly: "No, I'm just strolling around!"
"oh!"
The man still maintained his kindness and said with a smile: "I would like to invite you two guests to take a look at it. All the goods in the pavilion are marked with prices. If you see anything you like, please come and ask me."
"Okay, thank you!" Lei Xingkong nodded.
The man smiled again and then went about his business.
"It's not simple."
Lei Xingkong glanced at the man's back and couldn't help but nodded secretly.
Being able to work in Jibao Pavilion, it is natural that all the people he sees are wealthy and powerful people. He and Zhou Xiaozhi are very ordinary in their clothes. It is really rare that the clerk can talk to them so kindly without any impatience.
Lei Xingkong quickly started walking around the lobby...
After a circle, he remained calm, but Zhou Xiaozhi's face was full of surprise, and she almost didn't scream.
“It’s really expensive!”
Lei Xingkong sighed secretly.
The cheapest item here costs one hundred gold baht, and the expensive one even costs tens of thousands of gold baht, which is simply not something he can afford.
And this is only the first floor of Jibao Pavilion. It can be seen how expensive the things on the second and third floors will be.
With the financial resources he had at this time, he couldn't even buy the cheapest one, let alone one that was popular.
It can be said that it is impossible to buy good fire with money.
While Lei Xingkong was watching, he secretly asked the little god: "Little god, I didn't see the good fire. Do you know which floor the good fire is on?"
"etc."
The little god was silent for a while and said to him: "The good fire is not here, it should be on the third floor."
"the third floor?"
Lei Xingkong was greatly disappointed.
If the good fire is on the first floor, even if it is very expensive, he can still take a look, but if it is on the third floor, then he can't even look at it. After all, going up to the second and third floors requires persistence.
It only takes someone with a special token.
The little god continued: "I can feel that the second and third floors of this Treasure Collection Pavilion are equipped with defensive and offensive inscription formations, especially the inscription formations on the third floor are the most powerful. If there is no through formation,
I am afraid that the token of the inscription will immediately trigger the attack of the inscription formation."….
"That's right!"
Lei Xingkong was helpless. According to what the little god said, even trying to sneak in secretly to get that good fire was impossible.
But after thinking about it for a while, he quickly felt relieved.
There are so many treasures for sale in this treasure collection pavilion, so naturally there are ways to protect themselves against thieves. Otherwise, how can they do business if they are visited by thieves every two days? Moreover, merchants who can get so many treasures, of course
They also have huge financial and human resources to support them. Even if a thief can steal one or two treasures from them, they will be in trouble in the future and it will be difficult to live in peace.
"Forget it, isn't it just a good job? Just look for it slowly in the future. Don't get into big trouble just because of temporary greed. Well, it's not worth it!"
Lei Xingkong made up his mind, and immediately without hesitation, he led the little girl out of the Treasure Collection Pavilion quickly, without any further thought.
After he walked out the door, the little god said: "Don't be disappointed. In fact, this is a good thing for you. At least it seems that it is not difficult for you to find a good fire. You can find it in such a small town. If you go to those
In a big city, I believe there will be more opportunities to meet you."
"yes!"
Lei Xingkong's eyes lit up, and he became even more indifferent to the heated incident in Jibao Pavilion before.
