Chapter 213: Under He Lao Wu

Turning in the direction of the sound he had heard before, a slender pagoda entered Huan Yin's field of vision.

This pagoda is nine stories high, and the height of each layer is at least three zhang or more, and the pagoda really occupies a small area, so if you look at the pagoda from a distance, you will not be able to see this pagoda directly as a slender column.

Huan Yin's gaze swept the entire pagoda from bottom to top, and soon after, he saw a large plaque on the top of the pagoda, which was written on the plaque, which was the three words "News City" that Huan Yin had heard before.

This pagoda is the news city, Huan Yin's eyes moved down again, and soon he saw an old man standing at the gate at the bottom of the tower, constantly smiling and welcoming visitors from all over the world, and even introducing them to the importance of this news city.

After a few steps, he walked in front of the old man, Huan Yin bowed to the old man very politely, and said, "Old man, may I ask what news you have for sale here?"

At this moment, the old man was shouting hard, trying to attract more guests into the tower, and suddenly heard Huan Yin's words, and quickly turned around, with a smile on his face that only a businessman can have, and after looking at Huan Yin, he spoke: "This Taoist friend looks like an outsider, right?"

Huan Yin smiled noncommittally, waiting for the old man to continue talking. The old man was not embarrassed, and continued: "If you have only been in our West for eight days, then Daoist friends have really come to the right place. Our eight-day day in the West is not very different from other places, and there are a lot of customs and rules alone. If you want to stay in the West for eight days, you should first go to our news market to buy some news and understand the local situation, which is essential. ”

Huan Yin said, "In addition to this news, do you have any other news here?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "How can it not be, our news market is a thousand-year-old store, we can stand here, naturally we have our ability." I don't want to know what my friends want to know......"

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly approached Huan Yin, and lowered his voice and said: "Even if it is some military secret, as long as Daoist friends put forward your needs, we can tell you the answer you want!"

After saying this, the old man had already put his hand on Huan Yin's shoulder, and whispered: "If you come here with a purpose, then please come in." When you get to the tower, there will naturally be a maid to give you a little guidance, please, please!"

While speaking, Huan Yin had been introduced into the tower by the old man.

As soon as he entered the tower, Huan Yin was shocked by the scene in front of him. From the outside, Huan Yin thought that this tower was divided into nine floors, but when he came in, he realized that the lower floors were connected.

As a result, the space above Huan Yin's head was at least dozens of zhang high. However, the space for people to stand is less than three feet, and at the higher place, there is a protective light curtain. The power of the light curtain is so powerful that it blocks all possibilities for divine discovery. Huan Yin tried, but with his current cultivation, he couldn't even penetrate the light curtain.

Above the light curtain, there is only one thing, and that is bamboo slips.

The bamboo slips are dense, and I am afraid that there are millions of them. They look identical in appearance, all of them are folded. These bamboo slips float back and forth in the space above, slowly swimming, like a legendary sea of books!

Even in the attic where he had visited the Purple Yin Sect's Treasured Classics, the number of bamboo slips in it was probably not so terrifying.

"How much manpower and how many hours it takes to write so many bamboo slips. When Huan Yin was looking at himself in a daze, a crisp female voice came from his side: "Childe, do you want to buy news?"

Huan Yin turned his face to look and saw that a well-behaved maid was already standing beside him. The maid had a smile in her eyes, and when she saw Huan Yin looking at her, she immediately bowed to Huan Yin respectfully, and the etiquette could not be more thoughtful.

Huan Yin thought for a while, and said to the maid, "Can you please take me for a walk?"

The maid nodded lightly and said, "Then boy, please come with me." ”

Following the maid around the wide screen in front of her, there was a circular square in front of Huan Yin. The square is not too big, after all, the area of this pagoda itself is not large.

However, at this moment, on this small square, it is densely packed with people. These people, all accompanied by a maid, were obviously under the guidance of the maid, doing news transactions.

Occasionally, Huan Yin could still see that someone had obviously decided what news to buy, so after paying the fairy jade to the maid beside him, the maid next to him took out a strange magic wand and pointed at the vast sea of bamboo slips above. Suddenly, a streamer of light flew out of the sea of bamboo slips, fell into the hands of the maid, and was handed over to the buyer.

"Our news market is a thousand-year-old store, and its reputation and strength are worthy of the trust of Gongzi. Moreover, the price of our news is absolutely fair, which is also known from far and near. If Childe wants to buy any news, you can tell me directly, and we will definitely have the answer Childe wants here. Walking on the square with the maid, Huan Yin kept looking around with curiosity, and beside him, the maid's voice came.

To be honest, when Huan Yin was the Emperor of Heaven before, although he had been to the West many times for eight days, he had really never been to this place of buying and selling news, and he had never even heard of it. When he came here, Huan Yin knew that sitting high does not necessarily mean that everything is good.

"If someone buys your news, and that person knows about it and sells it to others, won't your business be smashed gradually as the news is sold?" asked Huan Yin a little casually.

The maid said, "Don't worry, Childe, we also have rules here." Anyone who buys the news must swear that after buying the news, they will not disclose it to anyone for one year. If it's a more advanced message, it's even longer. As for the jade slip, it can't be taken out, and after watching it for a while, it must be returned. ”

Nodding, Huan Yin expressed his approval of this method. Then, Huan Yin said, "There should be more than one floor here, right?"

The maid replied, "There are six floors above, and each layer has a different level of news. The first four floors of our news market are open to the public, so you can walk around casually. The back three floors require reservations. ”

Nodding, Huan Yin said, "I'm new here, I guess you can see it." There's a lot I want to know, so I'll just take a stroll around and brush up my thoughts. ”

The maid nodded, bowed to Huan Yinyi, and said, "Okay son, my name is Jingjing, if the son thinks about his needs, he can call me through this jade plate at any time." ”

After that, the maid Jingjing gave Huan Yin a jade plate, and then left very politely.

Huan Yin walked around the first floor for a while, and while continuing to look around curiously, he thought about what kind of news he needed to buy.

But Huan Yin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest clue at all. He only thought that no matter what the news of the first layer was, it might not be of much value, and it was not worth paying for the immortal jade.

So in the end, Huan Yin simply didn't continue to walk on the first floor, and he walked directly to the second floor.

As soon as he went up to the second floor, the huge crystal ball in the center attracted Huan Yin's attention.

The entire second floor is built around this huge crystal ball. On the crystal ball, dense runes kept flickering, and Huan Yin didn't have to think about it to know that this must be one news after another. And next to the crystal ball, on the circular walkway, there are still many people, one by one, in the company of the maids, pondering what news they want to buy and how much fairy jade they have to pay.

Here, Huan Yin was shocked again. The number of messages in the crystal ball is so large that it is obviously no less than a layer of the vast sea of bamboo slips, so how many big and small messages are there in this news city?

"A small news city has such a terrifying amount of news, you can imagine what a huge news network there is behind this news market. However, this news market is obviously only one of many news trading markets, and if all the news markets are combined, how much news will there be, and what terrifying news networks can it involve? Not to mention, there are also news networks in the military and the major celestial political bodies. ”

"Eight days in the West, this is really a peculiar place. If I hadn't stepped here as a civilian, I wouldn't have known all of this. It's an information world, and it's very interesting. ”

When his thoughts came to this, a young man's low voice suddenly sounded in Huan Yin's ears: "Does this friend want to buy news? If it's ordinary news, it's free of charge, and you should make a friend!"
