Longevity Story

Although the people living here are nominally free city citizens, they themselves don't seem to care about the so-called "freedom".

Because from Nezha's observations these days, most people here are reluctant to go out at all, and they just huddle in their own homes all day long, either taking some weird medicine or doing some weird entertainment to pass the time. , it is simply a look that you can't go out unless you can go out.

In this area, most of the people walking on the road outside are those who provide various door-to-door services, delivery services, and garbage disposal services for those who cannot come out of their homes, and everyone is in a hurry, almost They are all in a hurry.

"People don't like it here, Ao Bing, how long are we going to stay here?" Nezha asked a little depressed.

This little guy is now wrapping himself in a cloak with concealment spells, looking at the lifeless appearance on the street, chasing after two steps, catching up with Ao Bing who was walking in front.

"This... There's nothing we can do about it. Now all the city guards in Chaoge are looking for us, so it's fairly safe here." Ao Bing looked at the pitiful Nezha with an uncomfortable expression beside him. Both distressed and helpless, he responded.

Since Nezha and her escaped from the auction together, the two have relied on their superb strength to deal with the city defense soldiers, fighting and fleeing, but in the end they could only circle around Chaoge City.

Not only because of all the means of leaving Chaoge City, such as the Limai Qianlong Station, the air station, and some traffic arteries on the ground, all of which are heavily guarded, but also because Ao Bing and Nezha never thought that they could still do it. where to go.

Neither of them wanted to go back to Chen Tangguan or the East China Sea, but they couldn't think of a good place to go, and no matter where they went, they didn't have enough entanglements, and they didn't think of a good way to make a living.

In short, both of them are poor children who were just born a few years ago and who are still very ignorant of this world. They were abandoned by some cruel guy to stand on their own.

Of course, although he complained about Xing Ke in his heart, Ao Bing would never have the slightest idea of ​​[Let's go to Xing Ke], and he would never mention Xing Ke in front of Nezha.

She Ao Bing, even if she starved to death, died outside, was skinned and cramped, she would never ask for Xing Ke's head.

"Nezha, wait a minute. The only place where you can hide for free and eat the cheapest food is here. When we find a way to make money, we will leave here."

Ao Bing said, put his hand on Nezha's shoulder and put it in his arms.

Although I don't know where the city guards got the high-definition portraits of her and Nezha, the wanted will definitely not be so strict all the time. One day the wanted will pass, and in front of her and Nezha's force value, Ordinary Wanted can escape even if you can't finish it.

But now, Ao Bing is mainly troubled by the high consumption of living in Chaoge City. Because of wanted, identity, gender, age and appearance, most of the jobs that can get quick money by force cannot be done by either of them. .

Ao Bing didn't want to do other ways to make quick money in the gray area, and he didn't want Nezha to participate.

So, in the end, one ice, one fire, and two Jindan stage masters were reduced to a guy near this degenerate residential area, who delivered meals to those dead houses who didn't want to go out to earn extra money.

Nezha was in charge of keeping hot soup and rice warm, and Ao Bing was in charge of keeping fresh and cold dishes cold. The two of them worked like a charm in no time... Bah, how is that possible.

At least Nezha has been dazed by the delivery of orders one after another and the intricately crowded roads in the residential area for the past two days, and the faster she delivers, the more delivery orders, as if the number is endless.

In addition to the extremely depressing living environment here, her recent working life is very unhappy - although I used to think about going out of the house every day, but now I am wandering outside every day, I really can't be happy at all. .

"Ao Bing, why don't we secretly sell one of the treasures that Master gave, it must be very valuable..."

Nezha's voice was soft and waxy, and her words were filled with a negotiating tone, because this was not the first time she proposed such a thing.

The last suggestion was when they had just settled in this place and started worrying about money.But at that time, Ao Bing, who was full of common sense, stopped him righteously——【Nezha, although you may not know it, these treasures are all fairy artifacts, and they are extremely precious treasures within the human race. The only one that can be encountered and cannot be asked for, a little bit of wind may cause a bloody storm...]

Nezha can't remember the preaching words such as etc., but he only remembers Ao Bing's very serious saying that the baby can't be easily sold.Nezha is also very willing to listen to Ao Bing's words, because in Nezha's mind, Ao Bing will not harm her just like her brother.

However, now, Nezha, with her own will and after weighing it many times in her heart, always felt that the immortal treasures that Taiyi sent should be sacrificed for her to escape from the sea of ​​misery.After all, Taiyi sent a lot of fairy treasures, and most of them were weapons, but Nezha felt that he only had two weapons, and two weapons were enough, and the others were really redundant.

Therefore, in violation of Ao Bing's preaching, Nezha once again proposed a plan to sell the treasure and provide funds for the two to escape from the sea of ​​misery-and, Nezha really couldn't stand the dense crowd in such a small building in this area. The crowded hundreds of thousands of small rooms, building roads like ant nests, walking through here every day makes her feel depressed and angry.

"Yes, yes, I remember seeing a shop called [Pawnshop] last time, and the things sold there can be redeemed - well, as long as we have money in the future."

Ao Bing stared blankly at Nezha, who had begun to use his brain in order to be able to leave here. .

"Nezha, are you really willing? That was given to you by Uncle Taiyi. It was his old man's heart..."

"Well... My brother said before that dead things are always dead things, no matter how precious they are. It's best not to put your feelings on dead things, because dead things will always be lost if they are not brought to life or brought to death. It's not worth it if you are sad because of the dead thing when you lose it."

"Oh, that's it, it's all my fault, I didn't save some corals and pearls on my body in advance..."

Ao Bing regretted and sighed, and silently mourned for Nezha's master and uncle he had never met in his heart. Having such a conscientious little prodigal on the stall is considered to be such a disaster in your old life.

However, this time, Ao Bing did not express strong opposition, because she was fed up with the current boss who likes to mess around with people, but never raises the unit price of the delivery staff...

1057. Ideals and opportunities can actually be replaced by more realistic things...

"What did you say? Greedy human beings!~ This is a real fairy weapon. If you don't know the goods, you can ask the high-level practitioners in your shop to come over. If you know the goods and deliberately play with us, I can smash you all right now. This black shop!—"

Can it be said that it is indeed the dragon family?No matter how cold and indifferent to the world, it is extremely terrifying to be angry when someone touches the scales.

In this pawnshop that looks quite high-end, of course, there is a defensive formation that matches its status, but obviously this formation cannot withstand Ao Bing's blizzard-like ruthless anger.

This anger, even though she used the transformation spell to disguise her appearance, she still revealed her dragon-shaped magic. There was also a trace of Longwei's terror through the pawnshop's defensive formation, pressing on the head of the pawnshop's shopkeeper, making the The shopkeeper, whose real cultivation is not low, almost fell to the ground.

However, perhaps the professionalism and willpower accumulated over the past hundred years played a role. The commercial smile on the shopkeeper's face finally did not collapse, and he quickly explained it very respectfully:

"This son, you have misunderstood. It's not that I'm playing tricks on you, and it's not that I look down on you. A great cultivator like you is a guest no matter where you go. It's too late to admire you."

With that said, the shopkeeper got up and removed the frozen teacup in front of Ao Bing, replaced it with a brand-new teacup and immortal tea with a fragrant scent, and served it with both hands.

"You calm down first, sit down first, and I will explain the price to you slowly."

The so-called people who don't reach out and don't hit the smiling face, looking at the attitude of the shopkeeper at this time, the anger in Ao Bing's heart was temporarily suppressed for no apparent reason.

"Aren't you kidding me? Then the price you charge is so outrageous? Do you think I'm an ignorant savage in the deep mountains and forests?"

Although Ao Bing became angry when she thought of the price just opened by the shopkeeper, she still sat back at the sandalwood table for the time being.

I think she came to this restaurant with Nezha's most unpleasant fairyware "a white porcelain bottle that can collect things" in the urging eyes of Nezha this morning. The pawnshop even deliberately risked the exposure of his identity in order to prevent being scammed, showing the strength of the Jindan period.

As for the son or something, Ao Bing, who still has common sense, actually escaped from the auction floor long ago, and when he was dodging the pursuers, he picked up her brother who drowned in swimming, the identity of "Ao Bin", and turned into a demeanor. The graceful little white face of the human race.

After all, she has long discovered that in the human race, no matter what a man does, it is not as eye-catching as a beautiful woman, and it is more suitable for hiding.

As for Nezha... Although she can't pass the transformation spell, but with her behavior, as long as she puts on men's clothes and controls her voice a little, she can almost pretend to be a relatively fair-looking teenager.

So far, although Ao Bing is also the first time to come into contact with the pawn industry, the rule of the human race is that strength is respected, which makes her inexplicably confident that she will not be tricked.

They even believed that even if they couldn't sell the fairy artifact at the high price of the auction house in the end, at least a guarantee would be indispensable, and it would definitely be able to get themselves and Nezha out of the current predicament.

However, unexpectedly, Ao Bing actually miscalculated.

With the strength of Jindan period, the shopkeeper on duty in the store naturally did not neglect her, invited her to the high seat, and poured the best immortal tea in the store, and at the same time was very professional. Many methods have been used to identify fairy ware "porcelain vase".

However, in the end, an outrageous price was offered, which directly caused Ao Bing, who had a good temper, to get angry and feel that he was insulted.

Ao Bing has been in Chaoge City for a long time, and she still has a basic understanding of the price. She still has an expectation for the status of the fairy in the world and what price she can buy.

"Ten thousand spirit stones - this number is indeed too small, but it is indeed the accepted price of a fairy item in the Chaoge pawn market today." The pawnshop shopkeeper explained in a very sincere tone.

"how can that be?"

If it weren't for the fact that the shopkeeper was not talking nonsense, Ao Bing would have frozen the shop long ago, turned his head and left.

"Master, don't say you don't believe it, I'm old, and what happened in the market during this time, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

Having said that, even a profiteer's temperament in the strong old shopkeeper unconsciously revealed a bit of sincerity, but then the trace of sincerity disappeared, and he said:

"According to the old Quartet's inquiries about this matter, it started at an auction on the top floor of Chaoge City in the past two months. At that auction, several top-quality fairy artifacts appeared at one time, attracting almost Chaoge. All the dignitaries and dignitaries watched and participated - I wonder if your son will know?"

"...I don't know, I was not in Chaoge during that time, and I only came back in the past few days." Ao Bing's expression remained unchanged, and he prudently chose to lie to cover up.

"That's no wonder. In addition to the auction of several fairy artifacts, that auction was also the largest robbery in Chaoge City's history. At that time, there was a lot of uproar in the city."

"...Well." Ao Bing, who was the party involved, didn't know what to say, so he could only pretend to be nodding deeply, signaling the shopkeeper to continue.

"I heard that in addition to several immortal artifacts at the auction, there was also a dragon with Jindan cultivation level that was auctioned as a slave, but at that time, the slave's clan was rescued at the auction, and the fierce battle caused The auction house was destroyed, and almost all the shopkeepers and upper and lower personnel of the auction house were killed, and there were very few survivors.

"Fortunately, those who participated in the auction were either rich or expensive, and their guards were extremely strong, so there were no casualties."

"But what does this have to do with the price you offered for the fairy artifact so low?" Ao Bing was extremely embarrassed and didn't want to stay on this topic, but he said calmly on the surface.

"Young master, don't worry, you also heard that there were several immortal artifacts in that auction. If the dragons didn't make trouble, this would be the first time that so many immortal artifacts have appeared in Chaoge City in thousands of years." The shopkeeper sighed and continued:

"I heard that at that auction, the starting price for a piece of fairy artifact alone was [-] spirit stones, and the auction price reached an unbelievable level. It shows how rare and precious the fairy artifact in Chaoge City is."

"..." For some reason, Ao Bing had a bad feeling at this moment.

"If it wasn't for the end of the auction, the two dragon masters killed the auction and swept away the few fairy artifacts and all the spirit stones on the scene..."

"Do not……"

I didn't, I didn't, who swept away the spirit stone? !If I swept away the spirit stone, what would I be like now?

Ao Bing almost shouted out this way, but when the words came to her mouth, she still endured it with an unimaginable perseverance.

Although she was dumped without her knowledge, she had doubts, no, and sureties in her heart in an instant - Li Xingke, wait, don't let me see you again, curse you for the rest of your life They are all single dogs that are disgusting and no one wants.

"...It's nothing, you continue." Ao Bing returned to his calm expression and did not mean to explain his gaffe.

"Okay, Young Master." The shopkeeper didn't delve into it, and continued: "Although the few fairy artifacts in that auction did not fall into the hands of anyone in Chaoge City, I don't know why, starting from that point in time, Chaoge In Songcheng, news of the discovery of the immortal artifact began to spread.

"I don't know what the law is, and there is no definite time point. It seems that the fairy artifact may appear in any corner of the city, and every time the fairy artifact appears in the world, a lucky person will get a real fairy artifact.

"And this number may be unbelievable, but according to the exact information, there are at least tens of thousands, and the momentum of the birth of this group of fairy tools has not stopped until now."

Having said that, the shopkeeper secretly glanced at Ao Bing, the depths of his eyes were not as respectful as he had shown, and then continued:

"Things are rare and precious-although almost every lucky person wants to hold the fairy weapon in his own hands, and doesn't want to let go. But the reality is that it will not satisfy everyone's expectations, and there are also many lucky people who choose to give up their hands. Immortal artifact, replace it with something more practical—therefore, there are actually quite a few immortal artefacts circulating in the market today.”

1058. Please try not to ask for kindness for no reason... (Xingqi:?)

It seems that he attaches great importance to the value of Ao Bing, a high-ranking master, as a guest. The display cabinet describes in great detail for Ao Bing the rapid changes that have taken place in the Chaoge City Taoist Market in just two months. ——

Refiner materials that were almost completely swept away in a short period of time; the number of low-end and mid-end weapons that did not change at all; the number of top-level Taoist “celestial tools” that were almost equal to the number of low-end and mid-end tools; The price of the top immortal artifact that briefly appeared in the transitional stage is not as good as the abnormal condition of the refining materials in the bad street...

In the past two months, it can even be said that the business market of Chaoge City is completely in a state of earth-shaking collapse, and no one can predict the situation in the next second.

"...Until the last few days, in order to deal with this abnormal situation, Mr. Yi, the Prime Minister of Chaonei, took the lead in gathering the heads of all the big chambers of commerce and the patriarchs of the famous Chaoge families to discuss the matter, and finally determined the pricing of various commodities."

The shopkeeper came slowly and explained in a very apologetic tone:

"So [the pawn price of a fairy weapon is [-] spirit stones] This is the rule of the entire Chaoge City. No matter which chamber of commerce you go to, it must be the same price."

"..." So far, no matter how many times Ao Bing tore a culprit to pieces in her heart, she could only pretend to accept her fate on the surface. Struggling with:

"You said that in Chaoge, the price is the same, so what if it wasn't Chaoge?"

The implication is obviously that she can go to other places to buy it at any time. After all, only Chaoge is the place where fairy artifacts are proliferated, not the entire Yin and Shang Dynasty.

"Hehe, you don't know anything about this son. The headquarters of the big chamber of commerce that has the ability to take over the fairy weapon is basically in Chaoge, and the price has already been unified." The shopkeeper seems to have the winning ticket, not because of Ao Bing. Panicked by the threat, then in order to dispel Ao Bing's last thoughts, he added:

"Furthermore, checkpoints have been set up on the main traffic routes leaving Chaoge, and the temporary law of [immortal artifacts must not leave the Chaoge range] has been confirmed by the king himself."

"……mean."

The anger in Ao Bing's heart was like a tumbling submarine volcano. It wanted to erupt, but because of the barrier of the sea water, it could only raged under the surface of the water, and could not erupt for a while.
