Well, his level is much better than when he first started learning, and the sound of the flute is faint and not so harsh anymore.
……
Chapter 456! Gui City
……
In the blink of an eye, night fell.
The sound of a gong interrupted everyone's chat and also interrupted the flute music that had been playing all afternoon.
"Gui City is open."
Chi Meng jumped up from the ground and looked at the crowd that was beginning to surge toward the entrance of the small cave. She vaguely saw the Miao people she had met in the temple a few days ago.
"Let's go and experience the mystery of Gui City."
Shen Ye reluctantly left Shi Yao's plump thighs, and together with the others, he staggered behind the Miao people and walked into the cave.
The group passed through the winding and extremely deep mountain passage, and soon they came to a stone chamber with a radius of several dozen meters.
Although it was a stone chamber, the scene inside was surprisingly beautiful. Under the candlelight, some unknown stones inlaid on the surrounding walls shone brightly like stars, making everyone feel like they were standing under the galaxy.
“It looks simple, but it is decorated with great taste.”
Hou Qing's old habit came back. After looking around, he couldn't help but praise.
However, Shen Ye's gaze fell on the huge bronze statue in the stone chamber that looked like the mythical beast Pixiu.
At this moment, Chi Meng turned his wrist, and a handful of Tongbao appeared in his hand. He casually threw it into the mouth of the bronze statue that seemed to be the mythical beast Pixiu. Then, a secret door on the stone wall in front of everyone suddenly opened, and a winding staircase path appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go."
Chi Meng walked down first.
"I'll take you to see the largest market in Miaojiang, Guishi."
Soon, everyone followed Chi Meng and stepped into the extremely dark passage.
It was unknown how long or how far they walked down the stairs, but after about three or four minutes, the view in front of everyone suddenly became clear.
Chi Meng jumped down from the last step, turned around, opened his arms and said to everyone: "This is Guishi. Here, you can buy all kinds of rare treasures from Miaojiang, various techniques for controlling poison and expelling insects, and various mysterious magic tools. Of course, here we also have the poison-repelling beads that we need most."
At this time, the Miao Saint had regained her former lively personality, and her jumping movements made her look extremely innocent and cute.
However, the girl's cute appearance did not attract everyone's appreciation. Including Shen Ye, everyone's attention was attracted by the unique scenery in Guishi.
"I don't know how much manpower and resources the owner of this Guishi spent to hollow out a mountain." Even Shen Ye, who has modern knowledge, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He saw traces of artificial excavation on the surrounding walls. Obviously, this world in the cave was not formed naturally, or even if there were naturally formed elements, they were artificially assisted.
"I don't know about that. Anyway, Gui City has existed since the Ten Thousand Poison Cave."
Chi Meng had no idea of the secret, so after he finished speaking, he led the way and took everyone to stroll around Guishi.
Although purchasing anti-poison beads is the top priority, it would be a shame not to take a look around since you only come here once.
However, since Chi Meng was the only one wearing Miao clothing, when the group was strolling around, many Miao people doing business there would cast strange glances at them. Some were kind, some were malicious, and of course, some were looking at them as if they were being taken advantage of.
Even though he was very thick-skinned, Shen Ye couldn't stand being stared at wherever he went, so he immediately told Chi Meng to find a place that sold clothes so that everyone could change into local clothes.
After all, inside Guishi, unlike outside, this group of Han people were still too ostentatious and eye-catching.
Fortunately, the things sold in Wan Gui City include almost everything, and naturally there is also a place selling clothes, and the styles and materials are much better than those outside. Shen Ye simply waved his hand, threw down a gold ingot, and bought a set for everyone.
Then, while the others were taken by Chi Meng to change clothes, he bought dozens more pieces, had them packed and sent to a corner where no one would notice, and then put them all into the system space.
When he was watching the anime, he was very moved by the Miao costume that Ji Ruxue wore. Although she was not here at this time, he could buy it now and go back to let her wear it for him. Of course, not only Ji Ruxue, but also the empress and several other holy ladies would have their share, and even the women in the family would not be left out.
Imagining how they would look in Miao costumes, Shen Ye's heart was moved and he couldn't wait any longer. Unfortunately, he would have to wait for that day to come.
Shaking his head regretfully, Shen Ye took his own set of clothes and went to the room specially for changing clothes to change.
Changing clothes is as troublesome as taking a bath for women. Although they can choose what they like and want to get what they like, the time they spend is no less than that of putting on makeup. After all, women have someone living in their hearts, and they all want to show their most beautiful side... Of course, Ajie is not among them. She is the fastest in changing clothes among the women.
When the elder sister came out of the changing room, Shen Ye had already chatted with Hou Qing for quite a while. When he saw the elder sister jumping in front of him, wearing a special Miaojiang silver ornament on her head, a belly-exposing outfit, and with her white legs bare, a strange smile appeared on his face. He didn't think she was ugly, but that she was extremely beautiful. If the elder sister could take off the big backpack from her body, she would look even better.
"Baby, brother, do I look good?" Even though she was a girl at heart and even though she changed clothes the fastest, the elder sister couldn't help but turn around in front of the two men to show off her clothes.
"It looks good." Shen Ye and Hou Qing said in unison.
Hou Qing then added: "Sister, you have a really good taste. This dress suits you very well. It's very classy."
Having good qualities is the best compliment that Hou Qing can give.
So the elder sister smiled triumphantly.
However, with the appearance of several other women, Ajie began to become unhappy.
Whether it is the equally innocent and lively Lu Linxuan, the mature and beautiful Shi Yao, or the charming Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian, after changing into Miao costumes, their charm has been magnified several times. With their appearance, even the dark underground world seems to be much brighter.
Perhaps affected by her mentality, a gleam of blood flashed in Ah Jie's eyes, and countless emotions emerged one after another, and then stopped at two emotions.
Jealousy, envy.
But soon, these two emotions disappeared, and Ajie seemed to be the same Ajie again, but no matter how you looked at it, there was still some loss in her bloodshot eyes.
As a younger brother, he cares about his sister the most. Hou Qing walked to her side and whispered, "Sister, when you recover, they will not be as good as you."
……
Chapter 457! Poison-avoiding beads
……
There is no difference in appearance between the Han people and the Miao people. After everyone changed into Miao costumes, the curious eyes around them quickly disappeared.
Although Shen Ye, who had watched the anime, knew where the auction was in Gui City, it was his first time there, so he could only pretend not to know. He asked Chi Meng to ask the owner of the clothing store about the whereabouts of the Anti-Poison Bead. Then everyone learned that precious treasures like the Anti-Poison Bead could only be bought at the auction held in Gui City.
Having just done a big business, the clothing store owner pointed to the south of Gui City enthusiastically and said, "Do you see the row of wooden houses over there? The auction will be held in the largest one. It will be hosted by Xiao Weng, the manager of Gui City. However, there is still more than half an hour before the auction starts. If you are not in a hurry, you can find a place to sit for a while like them and taste the special snacks of our Miaojiang."
As he spoke, he pointed to a few snack stands not far away, where many people were sitting, waiting for the auction to begin. Some of them spoke fluent Central Plains Mandarin and were obviously businessmen from the Central Plains.
"Thank you." Shen Ye clasped his fists towards the shop owner and walked over with the crowd.
After asking the snack stand owner to clear out two tables and put them together and ordering some snacks they had never tasted before, everyone sat around together, eating while waiting.
Soon, half an hour passed. Shen Ye threw down a small silver ingot and followed the crowd who stood up at the same time to go to the largest wooden house.
In front of the wooden house, seven or eight strong Miao men with bare arms were guarding the door. However, in addition to maintaining order and preventing accidents, they also had the important job of collecting venue fees.
Shen Ye and his group waited in line for a while. When it was their turn, a Miao man glanced at him and asked, "How many people?"
"Eight."
"The admission fee is eight taels of gold." The sturdy man said with a gesture.
Shen Ye did not complain about the high entrance fee. He casually threw a gold ingot weighing about ten taels to the strong man, and then said generously, "No need to give me the change."
"So cool." Hou Qing behind him tapped his palm with a bone flute and said uncontrollably.
Afterwards, the group entered the auction house.
Although it is an auction house, its layout is completely different from the high-end ones in later generations. In the empty hall, there are more than ten or twenty long wooden tables arranged around a round table. On each table, there is a huge pale white candle lit. The combined candlelight illuminates the entire hall as if it were daytime.
Led by a pretty Miao girl, the crowd found a table and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.
After waiting for a while, when the pale candle had burned about one-tenth, a huge middle-aged Miao man, surrounded by a group of experts, walked into the auction, and then he announced the start of the auction.
Next, each auction item was brought to the center of the circular platform, where it was displayed and explained by a Miao girl with a red line painted under each eye, followed by a series of bidding sounds.
Shen Ye's target was the Anti-Poison Bead, and he was not very interested in the other auction items. Lu Linxuan and others beside him were the same as him, so they chatted while waiting for the Anti-Poison Bead to appear.
As the auction items came on stage one by one and were bought one by one, after a long time, a box appeared in the hands of the Miao girl.
"Poison-avoiding beads, starting price is one hundred taels of silver."
The Miao girl opened the box, revealing the emerald green beads inside, and her gentle voice spread throughout the hall, which had suddenly become quiet.
Then, the next second, the quiet hall suddenly became lively again, with voices and bids getting louder and louder, almost blowing the roof off.
Shen Ye did not join in immediately. Instead, he supported his chin, drank tea boredly, and at the same time comforted the somewhat nervous Chi Meng.
"Don't worry, I'll make the final decision."
As soon as he finished speaking, a merchant from the Central Plains shouted out six thousand taels of silver, which eased the heated atmosphere in the entire hall.
The price is already high.
Although the anti-poison beads are very rare, they are not seen every few years. There are always four or five of them in a year, and they are not very useful. Except for some people who want to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons to learn skills, many people just want to keep them as collections.
So after a long time, no one raised the price anymore.
Just as the Central Plains businessman stood up with some pride and went to pick up his auction item, Shen Ye uttered five words lightly.
"Gold, one thousand taels."
……
Since they arrived in Miaojiang in advance, the small episodes in the original drama naturally could not have happened. There was no so-called people from the Yan tribe stealing the poison beads, nor did they have any intersection with Xiao Weng, the manager of Guishi.
The whole process was uneventful and easy. Even Shen Ye's final decision to increase the price did not cause much waves. At most, the beautiful Miao girl with wheat-colored skin looked at him a few more times, but there was no subsequent development.
This made Shen Ye, who had some plans in mind, feel a little regretful, but he didn't feel regretful for too long because business was more important.
Afterwards, under the curious gazes of Hou Qing and Ajie on where he got so much gold from, Shen Ye paid the full amount of one thousand taels of gold, took the anti-poison beads personally delivered by the Miao girl, and left Guishi with everyone.
……
After coming out of Gui City, it was already late at night. Since they didn't have any luggage, it was impossible for Shen Ye and his group to go directly to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave at this time, so they returned to Qianshan Village to rest.
Then on the next day, after breakfast, everyone set out for the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Speaking of which, the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons is mysterious, but it’s not that the location is difficult to find, it’s just difficult to enter. In fact, as long as you drill into the place with the most miasma and pass through, you will reach the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the art of poisoning insects, or you have anti-poison beads, otherwise you will die from the poisonous miasma after taking a few steps.
Shen Ye and his group, who set out from Qianshan Village, soon arrived at the outskirts of a deep mountain forest filled with miasma.
Even though they were still more than ten meters away from the endless green miasma, the stench emitted by the miasma still made Lu Linxuan and Miao Xuan, who were only at the Lesser Heavenly Level, feel dizzy and swollen. They were so scared that they quickly practiced qigong and regulated their breathing, and only then did they feel better.
Shen Ye could naturally smell it, but he didn't feel any reaction in his body. However, to be cautious, he still held his breath and then took the anti-poison bead out of the box.
