The next day, early morning.
Although it is a time of crisp autumn, when you are in this capital city, because there are too many people, it still gives people a feeling of warmth.
On the street, outside this famous bun shop, Qu Feiyan was eating buns and said vaguely: "Sir, where should we go to play later?"
Chu Qinghe thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the market selling flowers and herbs first and see if there are any good medicines!"
As the imperial city of Ming Dynasty.
In this capital city, hundreds of merchants from all over the world gather every day.
Even though there are many traders from the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty and even Qin Dynasty.
There is no shortage of people with a lot of money and a taste for novelties anywhere.
Therefore, in a place like the capital where rich people gather together, the weirder things tend to be, the faster they sell.
And some precious herbs do have unique looks.
After all, I still have a mascot with me. Anyway, there is still a certain amount of time before August 15th. I have nothing to do and wander around every day. What if I miss it?
After determining the next itinerary, a few people finished eating, and then bought some good-looking snacks along the way and ate them while walking.
After changing their appearance, not to mention Qu Feiyan, even Lin Shiyin and Jellyfish Yinji looked a little presumptuous.
Chu Qinghe also let it go. Anyway, when he went out to play, it didn't hurt to do as he pleased.
Unlike remote towns like Yushui City, the environment is simple, and its description is as simple as streets and shops.
In the capital city, not counting the palace city, there are thirty-three squares in the inner city and the outer city alone.
Each square is almost as big as the entire Yushui City.
Each market is divided into shops and brands.
The place Chu Qinghe was talking about was not a place for ordinary flowers and plants to be bought and sold, but a place specially set up stalls for traders from all over the country or passers-by who did not rent or buy shops.
It is also known as the hidden city.
No booth fees, no notarization, purchase and leave.
Therefore, when a few people wandered all the way to the place where Chu Qinghe said specializes in selling these flowers and plants, it was almost the end of the hour.
Compared with other places, although the streets of this hidden city were crowded with people at this time, there was not much noise and noise.
On both sides of the street that could originally accommodate three carriages, some merchants set up a stall or spread a piece of coarse cloth and put the things they wanted to sell on it.
There are even fortune-telling stalls in front of some alleys.
On this street, pedestrians walked slowly and sometimes stood in front of some stalls.
While walking, Xiao Zhao touched Qu Feiyan and pointed to the distance: "Feiyan, why are some people on the street tucking their sleeves together?"
After taking a look at the position indicated by Xiao Zhao, Qu Feiyan said slowly: "Oh, this is called swallowing gold in the sleeves, where the buyer and seller touch each other hand to hand to bargain."
Xiao Zhao was puzzled: "Why do you have to do this when buying things?"
Qu Feiyan said nonchalantly: "In a market like this, many things have no specific value. Many people just bet on curiosity and luck. The sellers want to rip off customers. If the price is too high, other people won't know. No. It will affect business, and people who buy things are also worried that when they find good things, they pay too much and will be targeted by some people, so they don't know when they will get money out of their sleeves." It is also a common saying that "holding hands in the sleeves means you don't have to worry about money. ".
Listening to Qu Feiyan's explanation, Lin Shiyin on the side couldn't help but sigh: "Feiyan knows a lot."
Qu Feiyan raised his head and said, "That's right. After all, I used to sneak around everywhere, and these people from all walks of life are very knowledgeable."
Seeing Qu Feiyan's proud look, Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao couldn't help but ask Qu Feiyan here and there.
Jellyfish Yin Ji followed Chu Qinghe closely, looking at the three girls from time to time with a smile on her lips.
It's just that after all, her appearance has been changed. Compared to Jellyfish Yinji's true appearance, her smile seems unremarkable. It doesn't have the heart-warming feeling that Jellyfish Yinji had when she smiled in her original appearance.
On the other hand, Chu Qinghe, while walking, his eyes were scanning the surrounding stalls from time to time.
Needless to say, it is the capital city after all, and there are indeed a lot of good things gathered there.
In some stalls, Chu Qinghe actually found some relatively rare medicines.
After burning the incense, watching Chu Qinghe and the vendor gesturing on the inside of his sleeves for a long time to negotiate the price every time he bought medicinal materials, Qu Feiyan lowered his voice and said, "This is the first time I've seen the young master have to chop every time he buys something like this." price."
Listening to what Qu Feiyan said, Chu Qinghe said slowly: "If you don't show your wealth, it seems too bold and it can easily lead to trouble."
Unlike Yushui City, which is only that big in total, the folk customs are simple, people have lived there for a long time, and they are more or less related to each other.
Even if they don't know each other, after walking around a few times, Wang Er Mazi in the north of the city and Li San in the south of the city might find the same acquaintance.
Therefore, in a small place like Yushui City, even the people in the Green Snake Gang and the Iron Fist Sect, at most they are trying to make money and will not kill themselves, at most they will only get a beating.
As long as we cooperate well and settle accounts after the fall, we can plan slowly.
But when you go out and act like a wealthy person, you are out of your mind.
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan was not surprised.
After all, they were accustomed to Chu Qinghe's stability.
Only the jellyfish Yinji on the side looked at Chu Qinghe with a smile in her eyes.
Anyway, no matter what Chu Qinghe does, it will be good in the eyes of Jellyfish Yinji.
"Eh?"
However, at this moment, Chu Qinghe, who had already reached the end of the street, moved his eyes lightly, as if he had noticed something, and quickly placed his eyes on a plant that was already a little out of shape on a stall.
After his eyes paused for a moment, Chu Qinghe slowly stepped forward and pointed at a few flowers on the stall and asked.
"How can I sell these flowers?"
The vendor who set up the stall was a vendor in his forties. When he saw what Chu Qinghe asked, the vendor smiled and then raised his sleeves.
A moment later, after Chu Qinghe handed the money from the sleeve to the vendor, the vendor wrapped up the flowers that Chu Qinghe had just selected and handed them to Xiao Zhao who came up next to him.
After viewing the remaining stalls, Chu Qinghe turned over with satisfaction.
It wasn't until a few people arrived at a restaurant that Lin Shiyin asked, "Is there anything special in the last thing you bought?"
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan turned his head and looked at Lin Shiyin and said, "Sister Lin also found out?"
Lin Shiyin nodded and said: "When the young master bought other flowers and plants before, he always focused on one type. Only in the end he bought several plants at the same time, obviously to prevent others from noticing."
After all, because they have been with people like Chu Qinghe and Jellyfish Yinji for a long time, Lin Shiyin has become more attentive and observant.
At this, Chu Qinghe smiled softly, and then asked Xiao Zhao to open the coarse cloth that wrapped the flowers before, and then took out a rose inside that looked like a rose, but its petals were blue with white stripes, and its stamens were like Picked up the gold-like flower.
"This is the golden-threaded blue-blood Aconitum. It is a special variant of the Aconitum King and is particularly rare."
"The common main root of Aconitum is called "Aconite" after processing, while the lateral roots are called "Aconite". They are both highly poisonous things, but highly poisonous things are often the most beautiful. Just like this Aconitum, the roots and stems are all highly poisonous. But this Aconitum flower is the most delicate.
"Compared with the ordinary Aconitum, the root of this golden-threaded Blue Blood Aconitum is more special. Once it grows, its main root and lateral roots will become another kind of medicinal property after the toxicity of the main root and lateral roots is combined. If it is not used properly, it will cause... There is diarrhea.”
"But when mixed with other medicines to stimulate the properties of Chinese medicine, it can be refined into Golden Silk Snow Blue Pill to temper one's own true energy."
After listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Qu Feiyan said with disappointment: "Is it just tempering the true energy? I thought I could improve my cultivation."
Facing what Qu Feiyan said, Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan and said, "You still don't believe me when I say you don't know the goods."
Later, under the gaze of several women, Chu Qinghe said slowly: "Whether it is you, Dongfang or even Yao Yue, the current cultivation level is all due to external objects."
"Although there don't seem to be many problems in a short period of time, the true energy will always have some spots."
"Although it's no problem in normal times, when you reach the perfection of the Grand Master Realm, it will have some impact when you want to open the Second Bridge of Heaven and Earth and enter the Realm of Heaven and Humanity. As a result, the difficulty of breakthrough is much greater than that of other methods that rely on steady and steady cultivation. Get up."
"If it's not suitable, it's not impossible that it will be difficult to break through in a lifetime."
After all, unlike Chu Qinghe, these women have a system.
As long as the system is improved, the foundation will become extremely solid.
In more than half a year, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue have rushed from the original mid-level master realm to the current mid-level grand master realm. This improvement in efficiency is impossible without some hidden dangers.
After a pause, Chu Qinghe continued: "Originally, what I thought was that when one of you reaches the level of Grand Master first, I can then use other medicinal bathing methods to slowly solve the problem of mottled zhenqi in your body. , but I didn’t expect that I accidentally encountered this golden-threaded blue-blooded aconite, which saved me a lot of trouble.”
After understanding the function of this thing, Qu Feiyan and the other three girls looked astonished.
Jellyfish Yin Ji couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "What should we do? He is so considerate! He even considered breaking through to the realm of heaven and humanity for us!"
Thinking about it, when Jellyfish Yinji looked at Chu Qinghe, her eyes should not be too soft.
Seeing the jellyfish Yinji whose eyes were locked on Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan and the girls were already used to it.
According to the description in Chu Qinghe's storybook, Jellyfish Yinji is a typical love brain.
And when facing Chu Qinghe, the kind that comes to mind at every turn.
Then, Qu Feiyan asked: "Master, those tails have been following us all morning, do you still ignore them?"
Not long after they came out of the inn in the morning, several people had already noticed that they were being stared at along the way.
It's just that Chu Qinghe didn't say anything, so Qu Feiyan didn't care.
But no matter what, the feeling of being stared at is always a little uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly: "After all, we are on someone else's property. It's not strange to watch him if you don't worry, as long as you don't follow him into the inn."
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan could only dispel the thought of removing the tail from his heart.
After the waiter brought the dishes one after another, Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin were still discussing and analyzing the seasonings and cooking methods of each dish while using their chopsticks.
This is also the task Chu Qinghe gave to the girls.
Not to mention anything else, at least after eating out so many times, you need to know how to prepare some special delicacies.
After the meal, after several people had decided on their afternoon schedule, they slowly walked out of the restaurant.
However, as a few people slowly walked on the street and savored the prosperity of the capital, Chu Qinghe suddenly smelled a distinct smell of rust in his nose.
at the same time.
Lin Shiyin, who was walking on the street, suddenly stopped and turned her head as if she had discovered something.
Sensing Lin Shiyin's strangeness, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but turned his head and glanced.
Then, following Lin Shiyin's line of sight, what he saw was that what Lin Shiyin was looking at were several warriors holding long swords.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but ask: "Does Sister Lin know those people?"
The voice came out, but Lin Shiyin next to her almost gritted her teeth and said: "Of course we know each other, I will never forget it even if I become a ghost."
While speaking, Lin Shiyin still stared motionlessly at the warriors behind her holding long swords.
After hearing Xiao Zhao's voice, Chu Qinghe and others also looked at Lin Shiyin one after another.
Looking at Lin Shiyin's expression at this time, and then at the sword-wielding warriors who had walked three feet away, Chu Qinghe recalled the smell of rust he had just smelled, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Rust Gate People?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Lin Shiyin nodded slightly and said, "The one in the middle is Zhuge Yang, the master of the Iron Rust Sect."
After confirming the identities of those people from Lin Shiyin, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but let out a soft "Eh" in his heart.
At the same time, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Isn't the Rusty Gate in Liyang City? Why did the owner of the Rusty Gate come to this capital?"
Xiao Zhao asked: "Is it possible that you are also here for the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng?"
Qu Feiyan rolled his eyes and said: "Then Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng used swords, not knives, and both Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng have reached the master level. Even if Zhuge Yang stares at them, they will probably be stunned. You may not be able to clearly see the sound of the two fighting each other, but you have traveled thousands of miles to come here just to hear a few sounds?"
Not every warrior is the same as them. They all practice heaven-level martial arts.
Although the leader of the Iron Rust Sect is already at the late stage of the Xiantian realm, his strength is more than a little bit behind Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan.
Not to mention watching the battle.
While Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao were discussing, Jellyfish Yinji looked at Lin Shiyin and said, "What do you think?"
When the voice came out, Xiao Zhao and Qu Feiyan also stopped talking and looked towards Lin Shiyin.
Facing Jellyfish Yin Ji's question, Lin Shiyin looked embarrassed.
The enemy who killed her father and destroyed the Demon Sword Sect was right in front of her. It was impossible to say that Lin Shiyin didn't have the slightest idea.
But when Lin Shiyin begged Chu Qinghe to take her in, she had already promised that she could only rely on Lin Shiyin to seek revenge from the Rusty Gate.
But Lin Shiyin's current cultivation level is only first-class and perfect, and has not yet entered the early stage of the innate realm.
Facing a late-stage Xiantian realm warrior like Zhuge Yang, his strength may still be slightly inferior.
However, before Lin Shiyin could think about it, Chu Qinghe's voice slowly sounded.
"Let's go! Since we have met, it is fate. Let's check the situation first."
Hearing this, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but look at Chu Qinghe in surprise.
But the next second, Lin Shiyin came back to her senses and couldn't help but said with joy on her face: "Thank you, sir."
Qu Feiyan, who also understood what Chu Qinghe meant now, couldn't help but look weird.
"fate……."
When his eyes flicked to Zhuge Yang and the others in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a moment of silence for these people.
"I'm afraid this fate is not a compliment."
Then, several people turned around and followed Zhuge Yang and others from a distance.
With the crowds of people on the street, coupled with the ordinary appearance of Chu Qinghe and others after their disguises, Zhuge Yang and others in front did not even notice that there were several more people following behind them.
After following Zhuge Yang in front for nearly half a quarter of an hour, and following Zhuge Yang into a huge mansion, Chu Qinghe and others also stopped.
He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the house with the words "Rust Gate" on the plaque in his sight. Qu Feiyan couldn't help but be surprised and said: "This Rust Gate has actually been moved to the capital?"
Not only Qu Feiyan, but also Lin Shiyin next to him couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
It should be noted that as the capital of the emperor, although it is extremely rich, it has many rules.
There are six more gates in the capital, which are jointly supervised by Hulong Villa and Dongchang.
The situation of ordinary Jianghu forces in this capital can be imagined.
Either there is someone in the court who is backing him, or he is powerful himself.
Otherwise, if a second-rate force comes to this capital, it will not even be as good as some local third-rate forces.
Wherever it is like in remote towns, as long as the local officials can reach an agreement, they will basically be the emperor.
Therefore, it is somewhat intriguing that the rusty gate that was still in Liyang City a few months ago was moved to the capital.
After pondering for a while, Chu Qinghe looked at an old lady buying simple jewelry.
"Go and ask about the situation?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's signal, Qu Feiyan immediately set off and approached the aunt.
After buying a pearl hairpin that looked pretty good, Qu Feiyan, who came back, also said slowly: "I just asked, the Rusty Gate was moved here a month ago, and there are often Dongchang fans among them. The son came in and out, I guess he must have taken refuge in Dongchang."
"A month ago?"
Facing the news that Qu Feiyan came back from, Chu Qinghe became even more confused.
But in the next moment, as if he thought of something, a flash of enlightenment suddenly appeared on Chu Qinghe's face. .
After glancing at a few figures secretly staring at him in a corner in the distance, Chu Qinghe sneered in his heart.
Muscle strain, you need to pay more attention! Fortunately, there is no big problem!
