The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 201 Unrelated Xiaoyi, Fish Market Conflict (4k)

Wangshan ran to death, Zhao Qing and his party saw the two peaks of Wushe Gorge at noon on the sixth day, but it was already evening when they officially arrived at Wushe Xiaoyi next to it.

Although Wushe Xiaoyi is called Xiaoyi, it is several miles long and wide, not much smaller than Chongquan Town, but it is many times larger in terms of military strength and prosperity.

There are as many as 24 Gang-breaking crossbows deployed in this town, and the fighters controlled by them are more powerful, which is enough to threaten the masters of the gods; , almost no unrest occurred.

As one of the key nodes of Ruoxie Creek, Wushe Xiaoyi will hold a large-scale auction every June and December.However, it is still spring, and there will be many months to wait.

The sky was dark and gloomy, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the rolling river looked like a giant dragon with shining scales, chasing their passenger ship.

When the boat approached the shore, the bright moon had already risen, and someone from the opposite side stretched out a few bamboo poles, gently pulled the boat closer, and put on a fixed rope.

Zhao Qing and his party jumped off the bow of the boat and went ashore to survey the surrounding environment.

The reason why Duanmu Shuliang decided to spend the night in Wushe Xiaoyi halfway was to replenish supplies and to visit a friend of his.

And Zhao Qing, who needs to heal Ruixi's injuries, is also planning to purchase some medicinal materials here.

With Zhao Qing's current internal strength cultivation and meticulous zhenqi manipulation, the treatment can be completed before arriving in Kuaiji City, all internal injuries will be removed, and Ruixi's lower limb bones will be reshaped, allowing her to return to normal.

In fact, it wouldn't have taken so many days if she hadn't used the safest way of treatment to ensure that there would be no aftermath.As for those healing methods that stimulate the potential of others, Zhao Qing is always a little worried about whether there will be any negative impact in the future.

In addition, Zhao Qing is also interested in the sword intent big fish that migrated recently, and wants to see what is unique about it.

The vicinity of the wharf in Wushe Xiaoyi is quite lively, filled with various tents and scaffolds, some are used to store goods, and some are open-air restaurants, supplying all kinds of cooked food and pastries to business travelers. Business is booming.

Duanmu Shuliang bought a few bags of pastries and handed them to Zhao Qing and Zheng Dan. He introduced them as they walked: "There are rumors that Gai Yongtai, the magistrate of this place, accidentally fell into a state of paralysis because of hard work on a unique skill. never showed up."

"In recent months, Gai's management of Wushe Xiaoyi has become less and less concerned, which has caused the city's market to become a little chaotic, and many fake products have appeared. If you want to buy something, you must Be cautious."

With a mouthful of pastry in his mouth, Zheng Dan said vaguely, "I only buy some honey bait to eat, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

In Qu Yuan's "Calling the Soul", it is written, "There are some honey baits for making honey bait." "Honey bait" describes the sweet pastry made by decocting honey, 饧 and rice noodles.

Maybe it has been improved by practitioners, Zhao Qing thinks the taste of the honey cake is not bad, much better than the food in Chungquan town; from this, it can be deduced that the quality of life in the more prosperous metropolis Jicheng should be even better More.

A group of people walked on the main street that runs through the east and west city gates. This is the most densely populated thoroughfare. There are many shops on both sides, and almost none of them are doing business.

At a glance, there are seven or eight shops, which claim to be able to buy big fish that contain sword intent.

Duanmu Shuliang greeted the two, walked into a hidden alley, prepared to look for his old friend, and asked Zhao Qing and Zheng Dan to take a stroll on the street first.

While shopping, Zhao Qing naturally used his spiritual power to activate the special effects of the Youshen Jade, shielding the sensations of others, and at the same time pondered how to imitate the ability of the Youshen Jade.

Having seen the "Chaos Flame Wheel" used by Peng Yu, she found that this move is not only extremely powerful.It also has a special spiritual attraction, which makes the enemy feel like giving up defense and resistance.

Zhao Qing thought about it carefully, and realized a few key points: just as true energy can form an aura with special effects, by subtly manipulating the spiritual power, it should also be able to form a similar spiritual field like the true energy field, and achieve all kinds of wonderful things. operation.

And the special ability of Youshenyu brought her relevant inspiration, making her try to use her spiritual field to display similar and opposite effects.

Of course, after only six days, Zhao Qing barely tried out the relevant prototype, which is still far from perfect.

……

Not involved in Xiaoyi, fish market area.

Since it was the season when the "swordfish" were migrating, the business of any large-scale fish shop was extremely good.Around the table where the big fish was placed, it was full of people and it was noisy.

The people who come and go include business travelers from all over the world, as well as all kinds of people from the rivers and lakes; from time to time, a group of patrol soldiers wearing leather armor and short spears can be seen passing by to maintain order in the market.

"How do you sell this fish?" In a remote corner of the fish market, on the front of a store, a burly man squeezed his wallet, and pointed to a two-foot-long blue and white fish in front of him. asked.

"One hundred coins, do you want to buy it?" The shopkeeper of the fish shop is a hunchbacked old man, who is eating dinner with his head down. When he heard a customer asking about the price, he replied calmly without looking up.

"One hundred big coins?" The big man frowned, and the hand that was about to untie the purse suddenly stopped.

One fish is equivalent to the total income of ordinary people for one or two years. Even if it is a fish with a weak sword intent, the price is too expensive.If you also bought a fake fish, wouldn't it be a big loss.

"Shopkeeper, what about this one?" The big man looked at the fish next to him for a while, and picked a fish that looked good but was only one foot three or four inches long.

"Didn't you mention the price?" The old shopkeeper glanced up at him and explained impatiently, "All the fish here have the same price."

"Same price?" The big man almost shouted. The smallest fish is less than half a foot, and it costs a hundred coins. Could the shopkeeper be crazy?
It is said that the bigger the fish, the stronger the probability of the sword intent it contains, and they are all sold at the same price. Could it be that they have met that kind of undisguised liar?
The big man snorted coldly, patted the hilt of his sword at his waist, and strode away.

Zhao Qing, who was hidden by the side, couldn't help but blinked, feeling that the shopkeeper was a little outrageous.

She has visited several shops selling fish, some expensive and some cheap, but she has never seen such a strange one like this one.

At this moment, a 23-year-old young man in a blue shirt came over leisurely, and said lightly, "Can you be sure that the fish bought here are all real? They are not cheating the buyer." Bar?"

"Of course it's true." The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said coldly, "However, if you come to buy it, it will cost one thousand coins."

"Hehe, the fish seller has such a personality, he refuses customers from the shop, but he can't make much money." The blue-shirted youth had an extra gold cake at some point, and said leisurely: "One gold, buy you All the 'real fish' in the shop."

The shopkeeper stared at the gleaming gold cake in the opponent's hand, and his face sank like water.

There were fifteen fish in his shop, but the other party offered a piece of gold cake, which was only enough to buy ten pieces based on the price of one thousand dai.

In other words, this is the other party's questioning of him again, confirming that he is selling fake fish, and the number is as many as five.

"Every fish here was caught by me diving into the bottom of the river yesterday and paying a huge price."

The shopkeeper raised his sleeves, revealing an arm full of bruises, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, you are a foreigner buying fish for the first time, so don't think that you are doing something righteous."

"The migratory sword-like fish has far higher spirituality than ordinary fish, and its own strength is astonishing. Once it resists with all its strength, its ferocity will be higher than that of ordinary tigers and leopards. Only warriors who venture into the turbulent river Only by fighting fiercely with it can we be able to catch it.”

"You can question the pricing in my store, that's fine! But it's not that simple to slander my character and treat us fishermen as nothing!"

"That's right! The young master of the rich family wants to insult our business because of how much money he has? Let Yizai and Yuwei uphold justice for us!" The shopkeepers of several nearby fish shops saw the quarrel here from a distance, and hurried Come and speak up.

"Although the fish here is more expensive than other places, the store does not buy or sell by force. You are not the governor of our country, so why meddle in your own business?" Another passerby passed by and asked others for a while. news, he asked.

"Old man Gu has lost his son for many years, and he has nothing but good fishing skills. This rich young man ruined the reputation of old man Gu by doing this, and he wants to drive him to death!" The crowd watching from afar In the middle, someone whispered.

"Sure enough, people can't be judged by appearances. This young man looks pretty good, but he didn't expect his heart to be black..."

Hearing the people's discussion, Zhao Qing's thoughts moved slightly. If the fish sold by the store was not fake, he had indeed risked his life to catch it. It is really unreasonable for the young man to make trouble and question the other party.

"So, apart from what you said, no one can prove that these fish are indeed 'real fish'?" Facing the ridicule and curses of the crowd, the young man acted calmly, picked up the gold cake and shook it. After a while, he didn't change his mouth to apologize, but continued to question.

"I have been selling fish here for 35 years, and I have never sold a fake fish! How can I prove it to you?" The old shopkeeper roared angrily, suppressing his voice.

"Oh?" The blue-shirted youth nodded, as if he had suddenly realized: "You have been selling fake fish for 35 years, and you are also a capable person!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" The old man slapped the wooden table in front of him and roared, "No one in the fish market knows the way to prove the truth. You must prove it, yes! If the fish I sell today If one of them is false, I will be struck by lightning and die. However, if all of them are true, what should you do?"

"Then I'll be struck by lightning too." The young man clapped his hands and asked, "How are you going to prove it? A newcomer like me is not as knowledgeable as you, and I'm afraid of being cheated by someone. .”

"How about this, you use your way to prove the truth, I also have my own way." He shook his head slightly, suddenly looked at Zhao Qing's position, and said, "This little girl, about this Whether the so-called 'Swordfish' is true or not is up to you to judge."

Can the other party see me?Zhao Qing couldn't help being startled inwardly, and thought about it.

With her mental state, she could clearly sense that the young man's eyes were indeed on her, not on other passers-by standing behind her.

According to Zhao Qing's speculation, it must be at least at the level of the third level of Shenjin, or even higher, to have the ability to pass through the spiritual shield of the Youshen Jade.

So, this young man who seems to be deliberately provoking trouble is actually a great martial arts master who is not inferior to Peng Yu?Is the master's "intentional provocation" really deliberate provocation, or is there another reason?

Having said that, isn't it a bit of a coincidence that the other party met my situation?
Also, he asked me to judge the authenticity of "Swordfish", but I only heard about Duanmu Shuliang about this "Swordfish" at noon today.

Now when I see the real thing, except that the fish is bigger than the normal fish, I don’t find anything special, so how can I judge whether it is true or not?Could it be to try to eat it to see if it improves the sword intent?

Zhao Qing thought secretly in her heart, quietly released the spiritual shield of Youshenyu, and used the mental force field to try to make the people around her ignore the scene where she and Zheng Dan suddenly appeared.

Seeing that the young man randomly chose a passing girl to judge the authenticity, the old shopkeeper seemed to have been greatly insulted, he took a sip, and cursed:

"Okay, okay! Of course you can find other ways to judge the authenticity of 'Swordfish', but whether you can convince the passers-by around you is up to you."

"Hehe, I thought you had some special means, but it turned out to be nothing more than sharp teeth. If you admit now that you are deliberately provoking trouble and slandering my reputation, I don't want you to swear that you will be struck by lightning." , as long as you slap yourself fifteen times."

The fifteen slaps here obviously correspond to the fifteen fish placed in the fish shop.All of a sudden, everyone was discussing, looking forward to the next fierce conflict.

"If you admit now that you have made a false oath for 35 years, I can temporarily let you go and let it take two hours before it comes true."

Cheng Ge Wuhan glanced at the old shopkeeper indifferently, then turned to Zhao Qing and said, "Don't be too nervous, there will be chances to eat fish for free like today, and there will be more in the future."

So, did this young man really ask me to judge the authenticity of "Swordfish" by eating fish to test the sword intent?But even if this method is tested, how can it convince the onlookers?
Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, saying, what does "there will be more in the future" mean?
