Bai Xiaoyu dressed in plain clothes and took Xu Huaigu around many remote alleys in Xingqing City before finally stopping on a street in the west of Xingqing City.
The street is not long. There is a small archway at the end of the street, which is made of a piece of black mahogany. On it is written "Sanzhu Street" in small seal script, and every shop has a small red sandalwood sign. , quite a bit of ancient charm.
This Sanzhu Street is located in the far west of Xingqing, next to a large canal that branches off the Changyang River. The environment is quite beautiful, but it may be because the location is too remote, and there are not many pedestrians coming and going. It adds a bit of quiet charm and is a rare clean place in the bustling Xingqing city.
Bai Xiaoyu walked through the stone path and said to Xu Huaigu: "Monks never like the prosperity of the world. This cold Sanzhu Street is the gathering place for monks in Xingqing City. Although there is nothing special about it at a glance, but As long as you look carefully, you can see that the things sold in the blacksmith shop, pastry shop or pen and ink shop are not ordinary things. They are all the magic weapons and elixirs of the immortal family, as well as various talismans and the like. There are a wide range of things. There is also a pavilion in the middle of the street called Meihua Garden. The owner of the garden was founded by a famous monk Meihuashanke a long time ago. He is very particular about fair trade, whether ordinary people or ordinary people. Monks are always honest and do not deceive, so they are very famous in the trading houses of the spiritual world."
Hearing that there were elixirs and talismans that he had always wanted, Xu Huaigu became interested and asked: "Sister Bai, how do you sell those talismans or elixirs? What is their grade?"
Bai Xiaoyu replied: "Fulu and elixirs are both a big knowledge, and there are many categories below. The grades of talismans range from low to high and can be divided into nine grades. The low-level ones are like some that restore spiritual energy and treat injuries. Functions, high-level ones can break obstacles, and can even allow people to move anywhere within a square inch. Pills are different from talismans. There are only seven levels of pills in total. Most of them are to help practice and cleanse the marrow and cut bones. , is also very useful. Ordinary monks, with appropriate elixirs, can get twice the result with half the effort. By the way, in fact, in addition to these two, there is also a type of auxiliary object from the immortal family, which is the scroll."
"reel?"
Xu Huaigu was a little confused. He had never heard of this thing.
Bai Xiaoyu was also a little unsure: "The scroll is actually an ancient thing. I have only heard about it from my master. The scroll is similar to the talisman, but it is essentially different from the talisman. The talisman uses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to create The ability is created by using paper talismans as a carrier. The scroll uses a secret method to seal the spiritual energy inside the scroll. As soon as it is triggered, the spiritual energy will pour out instantly, which is extremely powerful. Therefore, the talisman focuses more on the ingenuity of the mechanism, and the scroll is more Heavy killing. It is said that the scrolls with the highest rank can form their own space inside, and can even evolve into a small world, and evolve into the gods of mountains and rivers. However, the scrolls have been lost in the world for a long time, and only some dilapidated ancient books still mention it. arrive."
Xu Huaigu heard that although this scroll was powerful, it was too far away from him, so he didn't say anything and just wrote it down quietly.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the bottom floor of the Plum Blossom Garden.
There are actually no plum blossoms in the Plum Blossom Garden, but it was named after the Plum Blossom Mountain Guest. Now, the Plum Blossom Mountain Guest has long since passed away, and only his descendants are running the place.
Walking into this plum blossom garden, Xu Huaigu couldn't see anything extraordinary. There are several wry-necked sycamore trees in the courtyard, which grow luxuriantly in summer. Various types of grass grow on the ground, and a few inconspicuous small houses stand in the yard. It looks like an ordinary quiet place.
Bai Xiaoyu took him to one of the houses. There was a pool of green water in front of the house. Xu Huaigu felt that the aura in the water was very strong, so he looked out.
Bai Xiaoyu pinched out a small green bead with two fingers, shook it gently, and threw it into the small pool. Xu Huaigu went to take a look out of curiosity, only to find that there was a thick layer of green beads piled at the bottom of the pool.
Bai Xiaoyu explained with a smile: "You still don't know what this thing is, do you? This is actually a copper coin, but it is a special copper coin in the monk world. This small green bead is called a small bead, and it is the cheapest money in the monk world. But if you exchange it for secular gold and silver, there are also one hundred taels of silver. Further up are small red beads, called big beads, one can be exchanged for a hundred small beads. There is also a kind of colorful beads, called colorful beads, one One pearl can be exchanged for a hundred big pearls, this is the monetary system of the spiritual world."
This was the first time Xu Huaigu heard this statement. He was a little surprised that one green copper coin was equivalent to one hundred taels of silver, and Bai Xiaoyu threw it into the pool so casually. You know, what he lacks most now is money, otherwise he would not go to Lin Cangyang, and there would be no chance of entering the palace later.
Bai Xiaoyu continued: "This bead is the entrance fee to Plum Blossom Garden. A bead can activate this formation and transport us to the real place of Plum Blossom Garden, where transactions in the spiritual world are held. "
As Bai Xiaoyu finished speaking, Xu Huaigu saw some soft white light appear on the ground around him, and then the white light suddenly became so bright that Xu Huaigu couldn't open his eyes.
He closed his eyes tightly, still feeling the white light dazzling his eyes, so he covered his eyes again with his hands to feel better.
Fortunately, it didn't take long, just a few breaths of time, the white light dissipated, and Xu Huaigu opened his eyes.
He was stunned by what he saw.
He was currently on a busy street, crowded with people, and these people all exuded powerful spiritual energy fluctuations or strong energy and blood power, and they were all monks and warriors.
The layout of this street is no different from that of a human street. There are shops and pavilions doing business, people sitting on the ground and setting up stalls, and restaurants selling tea and drinks. It's just that although there are many people here, there is no sound of conversation.
Bai Xiaoyu explained: "The monks here use the Heart Lake to communicate, so they will not disclose the items and amounts of transactions, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. This place looks quiet, but it is not a safe place. There are people here almost every day Some monks fought over treasures, got into fights, and even killed people. In fact, in the eyes of monks, human life is even less valuable, and it is not as valuable as a magic weapon that comes to hand."
Xu Huaigu nodded, knowing that this was indeed what most monks thought. Human life is precious in the secular kingdom, but to many monks it is not worth mentioning.
As for the term "Heart Lake", it is automatically born in the heart of a monk when he is in the three realms. It is like a mirror, reflecting the state of mind at all times, so it is named "Heart Lake".
From this point of view, the monks here are all in the third realm or above, and monks in the second realm like Xu Huaigu should not be qualified to come in. Of course, with Bai Xiaoyu leading the way, it would be natural to say both.
Bai Xiaoyu was very familiar with this place and took Xu Huaigu straight to a shop.
That shop is labeled "Huichunfang". It is a shop in the Plum Blossom Garden that specializes in selling fairy grass elixirs and also has some healing techniques.
As soon as Xu Huaigu entered the store, he smelled a strong aroma of medicinal herbs and ancient sandalwood, and the aura was stronger than outside.
Huichunfang is a very big shop. There are dozens of counters selling medicines. There are also many monks guarding the door. There are also many customers inside. They all talk to the medicine sellers one by one through Xinhu Lake. Details of the transaction.
As soon as Bai Xiaoyu and the two walked in, an old man came up to him with a smile and said to Bai Xiaoyu: "If you want any medicine or want to treat any disease, just tell me and I will give it to you." Guided by friends.”
Bai Xiaoyu said in a casual tone: "Is there any medicine that can cure ghost poison?"
The old man's expression was a little troubled: "Ghost way? Fellow Taoist, are you talking about the incident caused by the ghost person from Xingqing two days ago?"
Bai Xiaoyu did not answer him, but said in a bad tone: "Young Taoist doesn't seem to be a novice. You should pay attention to the rules on the Tao, right?"
The rules of the road are that buying and selling is buying and selling, that's all. You can't ask more about anything else.
The old man suddenly understood, and he quickly smiled and said: "I am an old man who was reckless and forgot about it all of a sudden. I am really sorry, fellow Taoist."
The old man added: "Speaking of ghost ways, it's a bit tricky, but fortunately our Meihua Garden has a full range of elixirs, and there are also medicines to treat ghost poisons. For example, this nine-section whip ghost grass is excellent. The medicine is enough to deal with ordinary ghost poison."
Bai Xiaoyu glanced at it suspiciously, shook his head and said, "This rank is too low, it won't work."
The old man added: "How about this 200-year-old Sun Bodhi? Grind the Bodhi into powder and soak it in water. The effect is also very good."
Bai Xiaoyu still shook his head.
She knew that Yu Qin's poison was very troublesome, and it definitely couldn't be solved by these conventional herbs.
The old man was a little unhappy: "It seems that the Taoist friends are not satisfied with the herbs I recommended? Then I'm afraid our store does not have the high-end herbal medicines that suit the Taoist brother. Taoist brother, you can go to the talisman shop next door and have a look. Maybe there are ghost-expelling talismans there. More suitable for Taoist friends."
Bai Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows impatiently.
The old man refused to give in and winked. Immediately, several people in plain clothes approached the door.
Xu Huaigu became anxious and suddenly said: "Senior, we are looking for an antidote that can detoxify the Bianhua flower! These ordinary herbs are useless, we must use higher-level herbs!"
The old man immediately showed doubts and lost his composure: "Flower of the Other Shore? Isn't that kind of flower only blooming in the underworld of Wangchuan? How could you be poisoned by that kind of poison?"
Xu Huaigu's voice not only shocked the old man, but also because the name of Bianhua was too mysterious, even many monks around him stopped talking and stared at Xu Huaigu critically.
Bai Xiaoyu looked around at the unkind looks of the people around him, and felt impatient, and a pressure suddenly spread out. The eyes of those around him began to look surprised, and then they looked at each other in panic, not daring to stare at Xu Huaigu anymore.
Bai Xiaoyu took Xu Huaigu's arm solemnly and said, "Let's go!"
Then he didn't give Xu Huaigu a chance to hesitate and dragged him away.
The old man suddenly tried to persuade him: "Don't leave in a hurry, fellow Taoist, our business can still be negotiated!"
Bai Xiaoyu turned around, glared at him fiercely, and then left the shop with Xu Huaigu.
The old man felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
