Xinghua District, West Street.
As soon as the hover car entered this area, Long Jiu felt the excitement here. Even though the night market hadn't started yet, the surrounding streets were very popular.
Coming out of the parking lot, Long Jiu couldn't help but look around. If Xiao Tingyun hadn't been holding her back, she might have jumped out long ago.
Xiao Tingyun stepped forward to block in front of her, and at the same time blocked Long Jiu's view of looking around.
Long Jiu looked at him with a question mark on his face, but Xiao Tingyun smiled and took out two masks from his trouser pocket. In Long Jiu's confused eyes, he put them on her face first, and then put them on himself. .
"Wear this properly." Xiao Tingyun's muffled voice came from behind the mask and explained, "Otherwise, you will be recognized."
Thanks to the succession ceremony, few people in the Xingluo Empire now recognize the faces of Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu.
Long Jiu was not very happy, but Xiao Tingyun had already put it on, so she reluctantly accepted it.
"Where should we go shopping first?" Long Jiu pulled his mask uncomfortably with his hand, but looked around unconsciously.
Xiao Tingyun took her hand and walked forward, "I'm not familiar with this place either. Just follow the crowd and look around. Anyway, the ultimate destination is the night market, and the rest doesn't matter."
When Long Jiu thought about it, she thought so, so she simply let Xiao Tingyun lead her and follow the crowd.
This area of West Street has been built into a commercial and tourist area. In addition to locals who like to come here, many people from other districts or other planets also like to come here after coming to Xuefuxing.
Since it is a specially built commercial and tourist area, it naturally has to have its own characteristics. The characteristic of West Street is the smoke of fireworks, and it is also an antique smoke of fireworks, so whether it is a shop or a small stall, or the things they sell, they all have This feature.
Long Jiu stood next to a small street stall, pointed to the advertisement hanging in front of the stall, and asked Xiao Tingyun: "What is hand-made rice cake?"
Xiao Tingyun was also confused about this kind of stall food. Looking at the small bowls of white food on the stall, he felt for the first time that he was ignorant.
Probably seeing that he didn't know, Long Jiu simply asked the boss directly.
The boss was a chubby middle-aged man, wearing a white short coat. He cheerfully explained to Long Jiu: "It is a traditional pastry from the ancient earth period. Not many people know how to do it now. Ours is a craft passed down from our ancestors." , very authentic. Do you want to try it, little girl? The glutinous and sticky hand-made rice cakes will keep you wanting to eat them again.”
Long Jiu swallowed quietly and looked at Xiao Tingyun expectantly.
Seeing this, Xiao Tingyun shook his head and laughed, and said to the boss in a warm voice: "Give us a bowl."
The boss immediately exclaimed, took one of the bowls with his hands and feet, and took a spoonful of yellow powder from the crisper nearby and sprinkled it into the bowl.
"A bowl of hand-made rice cake, 15 stars." The boss handed the prepared rice cake to Long Jiu.
Long Jiu took it with one hand and couldn't wait to pull down the mask with the other hand.
Xiao Tingyun had just paid with his personal terminal when he heard the boss hesitantly say: "The little girl looks familiar, is she a celebrity?"
Xiao Tingyun quickly pressed Long Jiu's head with one hand and turned it around, saying with a smile: "No, you saw it wrong."
Until Long Jiu was taken away by Xiao Tingyun, the fat boss still muttered in confusion: "But I always feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
Long Jiu, who looked very familiar, didn't care about this at all. She only had rice cakes in her eyes now. Xiao Tingyun paid attention to the pedestrians walking around, for fear that she would be recognized, so he lowered his voice and discussed with her, "How about you change your face?" ?”
Long Jiu wanted to eat now, so he couldn't put on the mask anymore. In order not to be recognized, he had to change his face.
Long Jiu had a mouthful of rice cake in his mouth. He nodded after hearing this, but he didn't see her doing anything.
Xiao Tingyun stared at her as she was before. After waiting for a while, he asked uncertainly: "Has it changed?"
Long Jiu raised his voice, indicating that he had changed.
Xiao Tingyun frowned, "Then why do I still see the original one?"
Long Jiu tried hard to press down the rice cake in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She liked eating this glutinous thing, but she said in her mouth: "That's for you, not for others." After she finished, she turned her head to look at him again, and then snapped her fingers at Xiao Tingyun, "Brother, please take off your mask too, and I'll change your face too."
Xiao Tingyun frowned, took off his mask and said speechlessly: "If I had known, I wouldn't have prepared this thing."
Long Jiu looked at him with a smile, "You didn't ask me either. If I knew you had prepared this thing, I would have reminded you."
Xiao Tingyun shook his head and laughed, put the mask back into his trouser pocket, raised his eyes and looked around, and found that no one passing by had any reaction to his face. He smiled and said, "It's quite convenient."
Long Jiu hummed twice, the rice cakes in the bowl were quickly decreasing.
"Is it delicious?" Xiao Tingyun asked curiously.
Long Jiu immediately handed over the bowl in his hand and said generously: "It's delicious, brother, you can eat it too."
Looking at the last piece of rice cake left in the bowl, Xiao Tingyun said with a half-smile, "Our baby is so generous." Shit.
Long Jiu didn't hear the meaning of his words, but nodded seriously. After all, for Long Jiu, she was really too generous to be able to share the food on her lips with others, and they, Long Jiu, didn't. So generous.
After giving the rice cake bowl to Xiao Tingyun, Long Jiu set a new goal.
Long Jiu couldn't walk in front of a small stall selling sticky rice in bamboo tubes. He looked at the bamboo tubes as thick as sugar cane on the stall and swallowed quietly after smelling the smell coming from inside.
Seeing her slanderous behavior almost gave Xiao Tingyun a toothache. Xiao Tingyun quickly threw the empty bowl in his hand into the garbage disposal bin on the roadside and walked over quickly.
"Zai Zai." Xiao Tingyun had a dark look on his face. He leaned over and said in Long Jiu's ear, "Did I treat you badly?"
Otherwise, how could he look like he had been hungry for eight hundred years?
Long Jiu didn't say anything, just looked at him eagerly.
Xiao Tingyun immediately felt like something had hit him in the heart. He fell defeated and said, "Buy, I'll buy it for you. I'll buy you whatever you want."
Long Jiu quickly looked at the stall with expectant eyes. The interaction between her and Xiao Tingyun just now was seen by the proprietress behind the stall, who was very happy to see it.
At this moment, Jiang Longjiu looked at the bamboo tube on his stall again, and the proprietress asked with a smile: "What kind of flavor does the little girl want to eat?"
Long Jiu's eyes never left the bamboo tubes, and he asked in a soft voice like a sweet cake: "What flavors are there?"
The proprietress smiled and said: "There are only two types, sweet and savory. The sweet bamboo tube rice has fruits added, and the salty rice has meat added."
Long Jiu chose without hesitation, "Then I want something salty."
The proprietress picked out a Xiankou bamboo tube rice for her and said with a smile: "The Xiankou rice is 30 stars each, eat it while it's hot."
Afraid that Long Jiu wouldn't eat it, the lady boss even showed her how to peel the bamboo tube.
Xiao Tingyun paid the money, his eyes never leaving Long Jiu. When he saw her starting to peel off the bamboo tube, he reminded: "Be careful, don't hurt your hands."
In fact, his worries were unnecessary. Not to mention that the bamboo tube had been specially processed and would not hurt anyone's hands at all. If it did scratch the hand, with Long Jiu's terrifying defense, it was impossible to hurt anyone. It will hurt her.
For the first time, Long Jiu peeled off the rice from a bamboo tube very easily. When a piece of the bamboo tube was peeled off, a fragrant fragrance immediately came out from inside.
Long Jiu's eyes were shining brightly, and he moaned directly, making Xiao Tingyun's eyelids jump suddenly, "Hey"
It was too late to stop her, and even the glutinous rice in the bamboo tube went into her mouth.
Xiao Tingyun: "!!!"
Hey, you knew how to use a spoon when you first ate rice cakes. Why have you forgotten now?
The lady boss behind her said: "!!!!!!"
Ouch, this girl must be stupid, right? Why was it chewed along with the bamboo tube? Don't tell me, your teeth are pretty good!
Long Jiu, who had good teeth, chewed the bamboo tube mixed with glutinous rice under the strange and disbelieving look of the landlady. After finishing, he wiped his mouth and turned around to go to another stall.
After Xiao Tingyun was stunned for a while, he suddenly smiled and followed him half helplessly and half indulgently.
There were not many food stalls here, not as good as those in the night market. It didn’t take long for Long Jiu to eat all the food stalls here.
She held up two bunches of candied haws and candied strawberries in her hands, but her eyes were focused on an antique shop in front.
Half the wall of the store is covered with floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can see the inside of the store at a glance.
I don’t know what this store sells, but the sign hanging on the door just says two words - Wangyou.
Probably because he saw Long Jiu looking there without moving, Xiao Tingyun followed her gaze and looked over. Seeing an antique shop but not knowing what it was selling, he asked, "Want to go in and take a look?"
Long Jiu nodded hesitantly, "I have a strange feeling."
Xiao Tingyun was stunned and asked, "What's this strange feeling?"
"I can't tell." Long Jiu frowned, but stared straight at the store, "But as long as I look at this store, that strange feeling will appear, but as long as I look away and don't look at it , that feeling will disappear immediately.”
A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Tingyun's face, "Is it so mysterious? Then go in and have a look."
Long Jiu walked over there first, Xiao Tingyun followed and looked at the store, and then discovered something strange.
Although the street they are currently on is not as popular as the night market, there are still many people coming and going. Whether it is street stalls or various shops, there are many people coming in and out of almost every house. out, but there is only this store called 'Wangyou'. It seems to be open in a bustling place, but no one is seen entering or coming out. People who come and go here seem to have forgotten this store. .
After thinking about it, Xiao Tingyun suddenly remembered that if Long Jiu hadn't been looking at this store, he would never have noticed it.
The two stood at the door of the store. Xiao Tingyun's eyes gradually became more wary, but Long Jiu directly reached out and pushed open the door. A string of copper bells hanging on the door made a crisp sound.
As soon as the door opened, a faint fragrance came from inside.
Long Jiu looked startled. After entering the door, his eyes fell on the incense burner in the corner. The fragrance came from it, and this incense burner came out from it.
"Ghost grass." Long Jiu murmured.
Xiao Tingyun followed her gaze in confusion and asked, "What ghost grass?"
Long Jiu retracted his gaze and looked into the store. Just as he was about to explain, he saw a young man wearing a moon-white gown slowly walking out from behind the screen.
The man has a handsome appearance, with a calm and elegant temperament around him. His smiling peach blossom eyes are obviously very attractive, but they are hidden behind his glasses. The thin silver chains on the glasses sway gently as he moves.
"Ghost grass has leaves like sunflowers, red stems, and flowers like the tidbits of wheat seedlings sprouting ears. Eating and smelling them can relieve worries." The man's clear voice said slowly, but his eyes glanced past Xiao Tingyun and looked at Long Jiu. He said with a smile: "It seems that a knowledgeable guest came today."
Long Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at this man. The more she looked at her, the more surprised she became. She actually couldn't see through this man. He seemed to be covered with something, which could block Long Jiu's investigation, making Long Jiu unable to Confirm whether this person is human or another race.
Xiao Tingyun was also sizing him up. After hearing this, he smiled lightly and asked, "Are you the boss?"
The man then looked at Xiao Tingyun, with a bit of strangeness in his eyes, "Yes, it is fate that you two can come in. I wonder what you two want to buy?"
Xiao Tingyun looked at the store, "What do you sell in this store?"
The boss walked to the Arhat couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down. He said with a smile: "Sell whatever you can."
Sell everything you can?
What answer is this? !
Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows, and finally looked at Long Jiu, letting her make the decision.
Long Jiu was not polite and walked over and sat down on the other side of Arhat's couch. He stared at the man directly, as if he was examining him, but also as if he had nothing in mind.
"Sell everything you can?"
The man looked at Long Jiu and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I can sell whatever you want and I have."
Xiao Tingyun heard this sentence as soon as he walked to Long Jiu's side. He looked at the man and asked in an inexplicable tone: "You also sell your life?"
The man raised his eyes and glanced at him, the smile on his lips remained unchanged, and he nodded: "Sell, as long as you two can afford the price."
Xiao Tingyun sat next to Long Jiu and said slowly: "Where is the emperor's life? Do you want to sell it?"
The man smiled calmly, "How can you buy your own life, let alone" in the slightly changed eyes of Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu, he continued: "The life of the true emperor cannot be sold, it is easy to sell it. Invite God to punish you.”
"Oh?" Long Jiu's eyes changed, "What if I want to buy the blood of a real dragon?"
The man burst out laughing. He looked at Long Jiu with an indescribable meaning in his eyes. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Are you two here to have fun? I don't even dare to touch the real emperor. I don’t even dare to touch the dragon’s blood.”
He looked at Long Jiu with a deep smile, "The real dragon is a god. Who in the world dares to kill a god? So why don't you two buy something else?"
Long Jiu's eyes flashed, but he actually nodded, "Okay, then I'll buy some news."
"Okay." The man nodded with a smile, "But the price will depend on the importance of the news."
"A piece of news." Long Jiu didn't ask him what the price was, but asked directly: "Where is the headquarters of God Creation?"
Xiao Tingyun was surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Long Jiu to ask this, and immediately looked at the man.
The man sighed softly, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really going to make things difficult for me."
But even though he said that, he still reached into his sleeve and took out a turtle shell.
Xiao Tingyun's expression suddenly became speechless. On the other hand, Long Jiu had a strange look on his face after seeing the turtle shell.
The man sighed and threw the turtle shell casually on the small table on the couch, "The price is not cheap."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Tingyun asked: "How much is it?"
The man raised his eyes and said, "I don't want money, I want something else."
As soon as the turtle shell on the small table stopped, Long Jiu stared at it and asked, "What do you want?"
The man did not look at the turtle shell first, but said to Long Jiu: "For this news, I want a piece of dragon scale and two pieces of dragon crystal."
Long Jiu slowly raised his eyes, stared at him piercingly, and sneered: "You really dare to ask for it."
The man smiled nonchalantly and said, "But the news is worth the price."
"OK"
Long Jiu was about to nod, but the man suddenly interrupted: "I just forgot to mention that the dragon scales I want are reverse scales."
Long Jiu's eyes turned into vertical pupils as she stared at him, and an invisible air pressure suddenly filled the shop.
Long Jiu asked coldly: "Tell me again, what kind of scales do you want?"
The man didn't seem to be affected at all. He looked at her with one hand and boldly repeated: "Ni Lin."
There was a click, and the mahogany table between the two of them instantly shattered into powder.
Long Jiu stared at him coldly with evil eyes, "Bai Ze, I think you want to die."
As a result, as soon as Long Jiu finished speaking, the man burst into laughter. Because of his laughter, the thin silver chain on his glasses kept shaking.
He smiled and waved his hands and said: "Lord Long, please calm down. It's not that I want to die, Bai Ze, but the rules are like this. You also know the rules. If you ask questions to the Bai Ze clan, no matter who you are, you need to pay accordingly. You just The problem is really the price."
Long Jiu looked at him gloomily, but stopped talking.
Xiao Tingyun looked at the man opposite him in surprise. It was Bai Ze? Since learning the identity of Long Jiu, Xiao Tingyun has spent great efforts to collect all the myths and legends documents that can be found in the ancient earth period. From those collected documents, he naturally also knows that there was a kind of ancient civilization. The name of the mythical beast is Bai Ze. It is said that this mythical beast knows astronomy and geography, and there is nothing they do not know.
But he really didn't expect that the owner of this store was actually the legendary Bai Ze beast.
Moreover, how did Long Jiu know?
Of course, Long Jiu also guessed it from the turtle shell. Although the Baize clan did not need the turtle shell to ask questions, multi-eyed beasts like Baize like to go to the human world, and what they like most is to be in the human world. To pretend to be a magic stick, and the most commonly used prop when pretending to be a magic stick is a turtle shell.
Furthermore, the turtle shell he took out just now was at least ten thousand years old. Long Jiu guessed it accurately.
Looking at Bai Ze in front of her, it was naturally impossible for Long Jiu to exchange her Ni Lin for that news, and the Ni Lin was given to Xiao Tingyun by her, which was Xiao Tingyun's last life-saving talisman. In the end, Xiao Tingyun's safety was not the most important thing.
But Long Jiu also knew that a race like Bai Ze who lacked control would never compromise on the so-called rules. Even if she skinned him now, Bai Ze would not change his tune.
So Long Jiu stared at him suspiciously for a while and said gloomily: "Then let's change the news."
"Okay." Bai Ze agreed simply, "But if you change your mind one day, you can come to me at any time."
Long Jiu simply snorted, "You know the recent developments in the major galaxies, right? What is the purpose of creating gods?"
Just as Bai Ze was about to speak, Xiao Tingyun asked first, "What do you want from this news?"
Bai Ze smiled lazily and said: "It's still the same as before, but the dragon scales can be ordinary."
Xiao Tingyun then nodded with confidence.
Bai Ze turned to look at Long Jiu, "The purpose of disturbing the major galaxies is actually to disturb the eyes of the Imperial Capital Star. Their current goal is not in Star Luo, but in the outer star field."
"Outer space?"
Long Jiu and Xiao Tingyun spoke in shock at the same time.
The purpose of creating gods is actually the outer space?
Bai Ze answered this question, stretched out a finger to Long Jiu, and said with a smile: "Long Jun, you can ask another question."
Long Jiu knew his rules and could only ask three questions. Although the answer to the first question was not given, Bai Ze had already thrown the tortoise shell and the answer had come out. It was just that she could not give the reward for that question. , but that opportunity was also used.
As for this last question, Long Jiu thought about it for a while and asked: "What do they want to do in the outer star realm?"
Bai Ze suddenly smiled, and his eyes turned into vertical pupils, but they were a pair of dark golden vertical pupils. He smiled and said: "For the blood and genes of the alien races, anything they think is special is within their hunting range." Inside."
The expressions of Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu changed instantly.
Bai Ze raised his hand and took off the glasses on his face. He held up the hem of his clothes while wiping the lenses. He smiled like a spring breeze and said, "This is the first time I met Long Jun of the Four Seas. Bai Ze was overjoyed, so he gave Mr. Long another free message. In this operation to create gods, the Abyssal Tribe participated.”
After speaking, he smiled and stretched out his right hand towards Long Jiu, "Chenghui, for the two questions, there is a total of one dragon scale, two dragon crystals, and ten milliliters of dragon blood."
Xiao Tingyun's face darkened, "Dragon blood?"
Bai Ze smiled and raised his eyebrows, "The price of the second question is worth ten milliliters of dragon blood."
Xiao Tingyun's face turned dark.
Long Jiu didn't care, and just reminded him like a warning: "I can give you the dragon's blood, but if I find out that you used the dragon's blood for something you shouldn't have used, you should know the consequences."
Bai Ze immediately smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Long, no matter how brave Bai Ze is, he won't dare to use dragon blood on things that shouldn't be used. I'm just a small boss now."
Long Jiu snorted softly after hearing this. He first threw a piece of silver dragon scale to him, then stretched out his right hand and turned into a dragon claw. Silver light shone in the claw, and two pieces of dragon scale gradually condensed in the light. crystal.
Bai Ze looked at this scene with admiration, "Dragon crystal is the condensed power of the true dragon. This piece of dragon crystal not only contains the power of the true dragon, but also contains the dragon energy of the true dragon, even in the wilderness. A rare treasure.”
Long Jiu glanced at him sideways and threw two pieces of dragon crystal to him, "Bottle."
Bai Ze understood immediately and happily took out a small green jade bottle from his sleeve, "This is ten milliliters."
Long Jiu sneered again, and a sharp claw hook popped out of his right claw, and he lightly scratched his left wrist. Along the shallow wound, the dragon's blood slowly flowed out.
After filling the small jade bottle, Long Jiu wiped the wound on his wrist and the wound disappeared immediately.
But Bai Ze was holding the small jade bottle with a look of joy and obsession, "Ah, after thinking about it for so many years, I finally got it. Although it is only ten milliliters, it is definitely one of the top ten treasures in my collection over the years. "
Bai Ze's obsessed look made Long Jiu feel chills, "Are you so disgusting?"
Bai Ze gave her a 'you don't understand' look and continued to be cheerful, not forgetting to say to Long Jiu: "Next time if you have any questions, you can continue to come to me."
Xiao Tingyun was also disgusted by him, and asked coldly: "What do you want next time?"
Bai Ze immediately said without thinking: "That's a lot. A real dragon is full of treasures. Next time I want ambergris saliva."
As a result, Long Jiu shouted angrily: "You are dreaming!"
Long Jiu didn't even bother to look at Bai Ze again, got up and walked away angrily.
Xiao Tingyun took a deep look at Bai Ze, turned around and chased after him.
It wasn't until the two of them left the store that they realized that the weather outside had actually turned dark.
Xiao Tingyun held Long Jiu back angrily, "It's getting dark and the night market next door is open. Do you still want to go?"
The anger on Long Jiu's face paused when he heard this, and then he calmed down and said, "Go."
why are you not going?
Didn't she come out this time just to go to the night market?
Xiao Tingyun held her hand with a smile on his face, "Then go happily and don't be angry."
The two of them mingled among the passers-by. Long Jiu turned back angrily and glared at Bai Ze's shop before snorting: "I won't be angry. That multi-eyed beast just needs to be dealt with. If I come here again next time, I will definitely do it." Deal with him first."
Xiao Tingyun also wanted to deal with Bai Ze. After hearing this, he nodded: "Okay, I'll deal with him next time." But his voice changed again and asked: "But what is the ambergris he just mentioned?"
Long Jiu's little face suddenly turned green. She looked at Xiao Tingyun greenly, and after a long while she gritted her teeth and said, "It's my saliva, that pervert!"
This time, Xiao Tingyun's face turned green.
Damn, you are indeed a pervert!
