Who is this young man? What's in that box?
Lin Tianbiao was curious, but he did not follow the young man rashly. Instead, he watched him walk into the crowd of people on the street until the figure disappeared, and then turned around.
Zhuang Yong was still behind him, motionless.
This person seemed to be an insider, but the other party left him here so casually. Lin Tianbiao controlled his curiosity, but the other party seemed more completely unworried about his actions.
Lin Tianbiao looked at Zhuang Yong, thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
"Farewell." He bowed slightly to this inconspicuous cultivator vendor, turned around and left.
On the street, the excitement is still there.
Most of the people from Beishan New Hospital have achieved something here in Zhuang Yong, but not many people have stopped there. For the Seven Stars Trial, it would be nice to have a little more help. After everyone left Zhuang Yong, they dispersed one after another, each searching for something suitable for themselves on the street. There are very few people walking together, because they will be each other's opponents in the next trial, and few people are willing to let their opponents see what equipment and props they have added at this time.
Everyone is concentrating on hunting for goods. The small pub on the corner did not get any more business due to the popularity of the town today. When Ying Xiao walked into the tavern, only one of the eight small tables, Lu Ping, was seated. He didn't order any food or drinks, he just ordered a bowl of tea and sat there drinking it slowly.
Seeing Ying Xiao, Lu Ping nodded and said hello, then his eyes fell on a large wooden box he was carrying, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"What did you buy?" Curious, Hao asked. Lu Ping didn't hide it at all.
"Then how can I tell you?" Ying Xiao's answer was straightforward, "We may be opponents next, and this may be my secret weapon."
As he spoke, he walked over. He, who had always behaved ruggedly, was very careful with the box. He gently placed it beside the table, and then sat down opposite Lu Ping.
"What's the point of drinking this?" He saw the tea bowl in front of the road surface. He despises. Then he waved to the boss and shouted: "Here comes the drink!"
The small tavern didn't have many kinds of wine, so the boss didn't ask much after hearing Ying Xiao's arrogance about wine. I immediately brought a jar of it up.
"Get two bowls." Ying Xiao said when he saw a wine bowl placed in front of him by the boss.
Another bowl, naturally for Lu Ping. Ying Xiao grabbed the wine jar and poured it into the bowl, pouring it boldly, causing the wine to splash everywhere. Lu Ping stretched out his palm to cover his tea bowl to prevent the drink from flying in.
"You don't drink?" Lu Ping's little move was noticed by Ying Xiao and he asked.
"I haven't drank before." Lu Ping said.
"Try it." Ying Xiao pushed the wine bowl in front of the road.
Lu Ping had never drunk much wine, but the smell of wine was not unfamiliar to him. During the time when he was under the guidance of Teacher Chu Min, this smell was always mixed in their lives.
I don’t know how Teacher Chu Min is doing now.
Lu Ping was thinking blankly as he picked up the wine bowl that Ying Xiao pushed over and brought it to his mouth. He drank it like water.
Pungent, spicy and pungent.
This was Lu Ping's first sip of wine. It was of poor quality and very exciting. Ying Xiao was waiting for the reaction that a first-time drinker should have, but Lu Ping's reaction was like drinking water. After taking a sip, he put the bowl down and looked at Ying Xiao.
Ying Xiao shook his head repeatedly.
"You should be like this." He said, picking up the bowl that was poured for himself in front of him. Drink it all in one gulp.
"Wow! So happy!" Ying Xiao shouted, and the strong smell of alcohol seemed to have begun to emanate from every pore of his body.
Lu Ping remained calm, picked up the drink, and drank it all in one gulp. Then, as if he took a sip, as if he was drinking water, he put the bowl down calmly.
"You're such a boring person." Ying Xiao shook his head and sighed, having lost interest in developing Lu Ping into a drinking buddy. His eyes glanced to the side. But he saw what Lu Ping had purchased at hand.
"This is……"
"This is called a recorder." Lu Ping said.
"Yes, I think this is also a phonograph, otherwise what else could it be?" Ying Xiao said.
"Of course it's a recorder." Lu Ping said.
"Show me." Ying Xiao said.
Lu Ping handed it over without hesitation. Ying Xiao picked it up and flipped it around, but didn't find any mechanism.
"So, after you bought a lighting bead, you also bought a phonograph." Ying Xiao said.
"Not only." Lu Ping said, "There is also this."
As he spoke, he picked up a small bucket from another bench next to the table and placed it on the table.
"What is this?" Ying Xiao was confused.
"This is called a thermostatic box." Lu Ping said.
"Okay, I understand." Ying Xiao nodded. Of course he knew that the thermostatic box uses the spirit of Qi to maintain the temperature inside the box. Hot things will not be cooled, and cold things will not be warmed. There is no fixed shape, so just looking at a small bucket, Ying Xiao didn't know what it was for a while.
"So of course this is also an ordinary thermostatic box." Ying Xiao said.
"Yes, otherwise what else could it be?" Lu Ping said, opening the lid of the bucket, and steam immediately began to rise. Ying Xiao looked over and saw that there were four buns in the bucket.
"Do you want to eat?" Lu Ping pushed the bucket towards Ying Xiao.
"No need." Ying Xiao pushed the bucket back.
Lu Ping didn't want to be polite to him. He closed the lid of the bucket again and put it back on the bench beside him.
"What other magic weapons did you buy? Show them all!" Ying Xiao said.
"Magic weapon?" Lu Ping subconsciously glanced at the thermostat box he had just put down, "Can't these things be considered magic weapons?"
"Yes, it can't be counted, because it is very common. So, you bought these very common things during your visit?" Ying Xiao said.
"Actually, I haven't seen it very often." Lu Ping said.
"It seems that your past is a bit tragic." Ying Xiao said. These things are indeed very common. Although they exert the power of the force of soul, their effects are simple, so they are extremely easy to use. Even ordinary people who have never practiced can master the method, and then use it with the weak power of soul that everyone is born with and has not practiced. As a result, it will naturally become popular. Lu Ping had never seen it before. Ying Xiao couldn't imagine what kind of life he lived like this. He just felt that it should be quite pitiful.
"There was a miserable time." Lu Ping nodded.
"Okay, I made this bowl to say goodbye to those days." With a roar, Ying Xiao filled another bowl for Lu Ping.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded, took the bowl, and drank it dry, still not reacting to the bitterness of the wine. However, it has been so many years since he escaped from the organization, and this is the first time he has explicitly celebrated it.
At this time, Su Tang should really be there... Lu Ping thought, looking at the empty seat next to him. If Su Tang were here, he would be sitting here, studying lighting beads, gramophones, and thermostatic barrels with him with great interest, things that they had only heard of but never seen much after escaping from the organization! (To be continued.)
