Chapter 9: Xuanyuan City
Zhao Di slept until noon the next day. After taking a few big breaths of fresh air in the mountains and forests, the whole person was refreshed again.
He rolled up the white tiger skin, put it behind his back, and strode towards the mountains and forests.
There were no words along the way, and Zhao Di didn't encounter any more treasured beasts or the various demon beasts that he was afraid of that could breathe fire and spit ice. He relied on the system of immortal cultivators who were far superior to mortals, and he hurried all night, only resting for one night every two or three days. Finally, after more than ten days, he walked out of the Nanhua Mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Di met an old woodcutter in his sixties and seventies with a wrinkled face, and after confirming his direction, he continued to hurry to his first destination, Xuanyuan City. This is also the closest mortal town to the Nanhua Mountain Grand Canyon, where Jane's house is located.
"Poly Dang" is located on the most prosperous and lively street of Chang'an Street in Xuanyuan City, and is the largest pawn shop in the city. There are six burly men standing in front of the shop all year round, indicating that this is not a place where anyone can enter.
"Li Liuzhi" is now in this shop, because he has six fingers on his right hand, so he got this nickname. At that time, he had to be introduced by relatives, and he has been working as a handyman in this shop since he was a child, and now he is the shopkeeper of this store. And the title of "six fingers" is becoming less and less, except for some big people in Xuanyuan City, Li Liuzhi has to call him "six masters" when he sees him.
Liu San, the young man in charge of the counter of "Polydang", went back to his hometown to get married in the past few days, and under the shortage of manpower, the "sixth master" had to sit in the store himself.
In the morning, there is usually no business, and the "sixth master" crossed his legs, fell on the comfortable reclining rattan chair, and hummed a few small songs. Then I thought about his fourth concubine who could sing, the delicate voice, the delicate figure, and the fragrant woman's fragrance...... After a while, the "sixth master" fell asleep.
"Is this a pawnshop? I want to be a thing!"
The voice of a timid young man with the surname woke Li Liuzhi from his sweet dream. He lazily opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man on the counter, only a head taller than the counter, but his clothes were yellow, and there were a few tattered places, and there was a rustic smell all over his body, obviously from the countryside.
After Li Liuzhi made a judgment in an instant, he said angrily: "The store can't accept business below five taels of silver." ”
"I wanted to sell a white tiger skin, and I was told to come here. The country boy seemed to hesitate for a moment, and there was obviously a lack of confidence in his timid tone.
"What, white tiger skin?" Li Liuzhi was completely sleepy at these words.
The country boy didn't say much, and put the animal skin curled up behind him on the counter.
Li Liuzhi half-believed the beast skin, and a complete white tiger skin more than two meters long appeared in front of him, and even he who had been in contact with many treasures became short of breath.
After all, he was a veteran, and after adjusting a few breaths, he said lightly: "Well, it's a white tiger skin, but it's just a little inferior among the white tiger skins." Do you want to sell it once or do you want to redeem it later?" that tone seemed to be talking about a worthless ordinary sheepskin cowhide, and as for whether the white tiger skin was good or second, it was completely made up by him temporarily.
"Once the surname is sold out!" replied the boy simply.
"Well, then we will buy it for five hundred taels of silver. Li Liuzhi carefully considered it and quoted a very low price.
"I don't want silver, I want gold, and five hundred taels is too little. Some people say it's worth at least three thousand taels!" the boy frowned.
Listening to the young man's words, Li Liuzhi immediately judged that the young man did not know that the true price of the white tiger skin was actually more than five thousand taels, and he was really happy in his heart when he encountered such a stupid pretence, but his face became more and more solemn, as if he was going to make a difficult decision, and after a while, he said: "Okay, then twenty-five taels of gold, which is equivalent to two thousand five hundred taels of silver, no matter how much this store will not earn." ”
"Alright, deal!" said the boy. Li Liuzhi was stunned, although he was certain that the young man would sell the white tiger skin at this price, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth and smooth.
"This is twenty-five taels of gold, you take it, where are you going, do you want to escort one or two from the shop?" Li Liuzhi smiled all over his face at this time, where was there still the lazy look he had before.
"No need. The boy did not stop after receiving twenty-five taels of gold, turned around and walked out of the shop.
"Hehe, luck is coming!" Li Liuzhi secretly had a more vicious idea in his heart, and he gestured at the big man guarding the door.
Immediately, two of the big men quietly walked up to him, the two of them looked a little similar, one of them had a tattoo of a green dragon on his arm, and the other of them had a fiery red unicorn tattooed on his arm. The big man with the green dragon tattoo asked in a low voice, "Sixth Master, do you have any instructions, do you want to make him and get the gold back?"
"Don't worry, stay with him for a while, find a remote place to do it, you can't do it in front of your own store and ruin your reputation. And don't let people see it, if you are seen, you will inevitably spend a lot of money to fix the government. Li Liuzhi commanded calmly.
"It's the sixth master, you put a hundred hearts, my brothers will do this cleanly, and there will never be any traces. The tattooed man patted his chest, whispered a reassurance, and turned to leave. At this time, the country boy selling white tiger skins had just left the store a few dozen meters away.
This young man is naturally Zhao Di who has just arrived in Xuanyuan City. With his current sense, the conversation between the pawnshop shopkeeper and the tattooed man seemed to be as clear as if it were in his ear. He sneered in his heart, thinking about how to solve these few guys who didn't know what to do. With his identity as an immortal cultivator, it was really a very simple matter to deal with a few mortals. Even if these big men are given a hundred opportunities to sneak attack, they can't hurt Zhao Di in the slightest.
At that moment, he deliberately chose a place with few people to turn around, and came to a deserted alley.
The two big men behind him were overjoyed, thinking that this country boy had obviously lost his way in the city, and had taken the initiative to walk into such a remote dead end, which saved them a lot of trouble. But just when they followed the boy into a dead end, ready to show their lives for money, the most unexpected thing happened.
This alley is empty, where is there a young man's figure. The two big men blinked vigorously, and the tattooed man with the blue dragon pattern also rubbed his eyes, and then the two glanced at each other, and they both saw incredible looks in each other's eyes.
"Smack!" the Qinglong man received a hot slap in the face. He turned around in anger and looked over, only to see the Qilin man raising his right hand high, with a blank look on his face.
"I, not me, I don't know, I didn't fight. Facing the angry gaze of the Qinglong Great Han, the Qilin Great Han was a little incoherent. Just now he suddenly felt something hit his right wrist and raised his right hand high, and then inexplicably he heard a crisp slap. The only thing to be thankful for is that this slap was not in the face.
The two of them continued to search suspiciously for the cul-de-sac, which was only three or five meters wide, a water tank, a basket, and even a tattered basin that was completely impossible to hide.
"Smack!"
It was another resounding slap on the Qinglong Han, and it was the right hand raised by the Qilin Han.
The Qinglong man, who was already in a trance by the suddenly disappeared teenager, was completely enraged, and he no longer gave the other party a chance to defend himself, and hit the face of the Qilin man with an old fist.
The Qilin Dahan was also wondering, where could he guard against such a close attack, but he subconsciously tilted his head back, and avoided the iron fist at the critical point of his eyebrows and eyes, but he was hit the bridge of his nose, and he was suddenly full of colors and blood. He also ignored the sharp pain, and raised his leg and kicked the inner thigh of the Qinglong man......
Seeing that the two of them were smashed together, Zhao Dicai, who used the "Concealment Technique", left quietly with satisfaction.
After walking for a while, he canceled the invisibility technique and came to a post station. As far as he knew, the most convenient mode of transportation available to the mortal world was the horse-drawn carriage. A caravanserai is a place where horses and carriages are rented and sold.
The shopkeeper of the post station is surnamed Luo, a lean man in his forties, with two mustaches, looking at Zhao Di with a smile, not believing at all that this tattered country boy will bring him any business.
After seeing the snobbery of mortals, Zhao Disuo directly took out a golden ingot, threw it on the counter, and said loudly: "Come to the fastest and best carriage, and hire two most experienced coachmen! ”
