Wu You's ability to do things was pretty good. Within a few days, he bought an old carriage that was in good condition. It had good sealing performance and wasn't very spacious, but it was no problem to accommodate three or four of them.
Especially for him and Tao, who are still children and don't take up much space. Wu You has to drive the carriage again, so the carriage is still very empty.
It took them three days to arrive after traveling more than a hundred miles. Gu Zheng and the others arrived three days earlier, and the big market wouldn't start until three days later. Even apart from that, there were already a lot of people coming to the big market.
There is a town below Mangshan, and the big market is held in this town. Those who came early have already rented farmhouses in the town, and many people just slept on the ground. Basically, the people who came at this time were
Those who sell things come early because they want to get a good spot in advance.
After the big market started, one street stretched for four to five miles and was full of vendors. The streets in the town were simply not enough, and they extended a lot on both sides. Anyone with experience knows that the closer the location is to the middle, the better. There are enough people there.
, the greater the possibility that it can be exchanged or sold.
At this time, someone had already started trading. Gu Zheng did not show up, but asked Wu You to come out and take a look. They lived in a place ten miles outside the village. This was not a forest, just a small mound.
You will find someone living here.
Gu Zheng made two tents, one for Aunt Cui and one for him and Tao. As for Wu You, he let him sleep on the carriage. Cloth these days is not cheap. It is a very valuable thing and can even be used as currency.
Gu Zheng didn't need good cloth, so he asked Wu You to change some coarse cloth and make these two tents.
Even so, a lot of things were used. Before the arrival, Gu Zheng went out on horseback to hunt a lot of things. Now he has eight porcupine skins, several tiger skins, leopard skins, cow skins, etc.
There are also various bones and dried meat, as well as two silver ingots. These are all the wealth accumulated during this period of time in Gu Zheng.
This wealth is used to exchange for the things he needs in the big market.
As long as it's something he likes, he will definitely take it. Even if others don't sell it, he will still want it. Now is not the time to talk about benevolence and righteousness, especially when there is a big monster behind him as a hidden danger. At this time, in order to improve his strength, he must do whatever it takes.
Of course, he can buy and sell by force, but Gu Zheng won't do it. He still has his own bottom line. At worst, he will compensate them if he succeeds in cultivation. In short, in order to improve his cultivation this time, he must find enough things.
Until now, Gu Zheng has not been able to break through to the third level. It is not a problem with his immortal power. His immortal power has been reached long ago. It is not a problem with his state of mind. He has cultivated to the state of mind of a quasi-sage. This aspect does not exist.
obstacles.
After thinking about it, Gu Zheng only thought of one possibility, and that was opportunity. Opportunity is invisible and intangible. He is inexplicably stuck here now. If there is such an opportunity, he may not be able to break through in two or three months.
If you find this opportunity, you will be able to break through in no time.
Chance is really uncertain. Gu Zheng cannot bet all his money on this aspect. He can only adopt a stupid method, which is to force a breakthrough.
Forcibly breaking through, forcibly raising the immortal power, forcibly breaking this barrier, there is a limit to the immortal power that Gu Zheng's body can bear, and if he breaks through this limit, he can't even think about breaking through. Although doing so will bring certain effects to the body.
The impact, but Gu Zheng didn't care about this impact at all. He had plenty of ways to regulate his body and recover.
The most important thing for him right now is to improve his strength. As long as there is a way to improve his strength, it doesn't matter if he pays a price.
Living here, you won't be noticed by others, and it's not far from the big market. After finding this place, Gu Zheng still practices every day. When Gu Zheng is watching, Tao will practice, but if he doesn't pay attention, he will
He would be lazy and go out to play. Wu You and Aunt Cui couldn't control him at all, and they didn't dare to control him.
They had seen with their own eyes that when Tao himself was playing, he was accidentally hit by a stone, and then he slapped the stone in anger, and the stone instantly shattered.
-Since then, Wu You has been cautious when dealing with Tao, for fear of accidentally offending him. If he gives himself a chapter like this, he will definitely be dead in that case.
From the bottom of his heart, he is afraid of gluttony.
He was also afraid of Gu Zheng, but this fear was completely different. He said it was fear, but it was better to say it was awe. For Tao Na, it was real fear. How should I put it? Although the feeling Gu Zheng gave him seemed small,
But he is thoughtful and thoughtful, and communicating with Gu Zheng is just like talking to an adult, and he is still a very powerful adult.
Tao is different. He is a real, pure child. Children's thoughts are most unpredictable and moody. Therefore, he is afraid of Tao, even terrified. If he can't be with Tao, he will never be together.
Just try to avoid him.
Aunt Cui is okay. After all, she has taken care of them for a while and knows Tao's temperament. As long as you follow him, Tao is still a good child and easy to coax, but he is not as mature as Gu Zheng.
Aunt Cui also couldn't figure out how two identical children could be so different in temperament. She never thought that one of the two children would have a consciousness from the future and be a powerful quasi-sage.
Three days later, the big market started on time. Before dawn, the whole town had already turned into a sea of people. This was just the beginning. There were more people coming, and there were some latecomers, waiting for the big market to be busiest.
, that is, on the fifth or sixth day, the number of people will be at least half more than now.
“It’s so lively!”
Tao seemed very excited to see so many people. Aunt Cui and Wu You kept looking around. Only Gu Zheng was calm. There were many people in such a market, but he had seen better markets.
It can no longer arouse his great interest.
He went to the big market just to collect what he needed.
"I want to eat this!"
As soon as he took two steps, Tao pointed at something like a candied haws and shouted. It was similar to a candied haws. It was in bunches, but the color was black and there was no sugar. It was not stuck on a round haystack, but placed directly on the haystack.
There.
"Wuyouguo, it's very delicious. Would you like some?"
When the person setting up the stall saw them, he immediately said something with a smile, and his eyes narrowed so much that no one could see them.
Observing Gu Zheng's eyes, Wu You immediately stepped forward, asked about the price of the fruit, and quickly reached a deal. In this early period of prehistoric times, although currencies such as gold, silver and copper coins had appeared in places where humans lived, the quantities were not large.
Most of them are used in the city. Eighty percent of this kind of rural market is bartering. Wu You is very experienced in this area and Gu Zheng is very confident.
Wu You exchanged two bunches of fruit, both of which were in Tao's hands. Gu Zheng was not very interested in this kind of fruit, but the fruit tasted okay and the quality was average, so it could be eaten as a snack.
Unlike the Earth, in the early prehistoric days, ordinary-grade ingredients could be seen everywhere, and there were also many medium-grade ingredients. There were only a few excellent and high-grade ingredients. The other relatively few were sub-standard, low-grade, garbage and toxic ingredients. I have never seen them before.
The environment here is very good, without any pollution. Unless people deliberately destroy it, it is difficult for garbage food to appear.
Tao was very happy while Gu Zheng led them and walked slowly among the crowd.
There is a dazzling array of items on both sides, including food, such as eggs, various meats, and now the villagers raise some livestock and poultry. There are many of these things in the big market. Some people usually save them and go to the big market every year to exchange for some.
Other things they need.
Besides food, the most abundant things are various tools.
There are many tools that are used at home for farming, hunting, breeding, and even building houses, and they are all made of various materials, such as iron, wood, and even stone, etc., which are very good.
It is abundant, and various types of seeds can also be classified as tools. After all, no one will eat the seeds after buying them. They all have to wait for a good harvest.
Aunt Cui has seen these things the most. She has only heard of many things but has never seen them before. This time she has gained a lot of experience.
These two categories account for more than half of the goods, and the rest are all kinds of things.
There are also cloths, but very few. Cloths can be used as currency in this place, so they are not exchanged individually. Most of them are taken with them to see what they want. There are even fewer finished clothes. At least they have not been seen until now.
Yes, but Wu You had heard before that some people sell clothes, but the clothes they sell are not new ones, but old clothes.
In addition to clothes, there are also various jewelry, which can also be found here, but the price is very high. They are usually in the center and will not appear on the edges because of their high value. In order to prevent people from plotting to murder, most of the sellers of such things are
There are several people, not just one person setting up a stall.
In addition to these categories, the rest are various small things, including beautiful stones obtained from the wild, and some people have hunted and brought some things with low residual value here, hoping that someone will like them and exchange them for useful things.
, better than throwing it there.
There is another category that is not large in number, and that is various herbal medicines.
Although the medical skills in the early prehistoric times were not very high, herbal medicines had already appeared, but most of them did not know the medicinal properties of these herbs. The few that everyone knew about were very common things, but some people still used them to sell them. As long as you have one of these herbs
After saving people, no matter what disease others have, they will still want to use it. At this time, the understanding of the properties of medicine is not that deep.
This situation reminded Gu Zheng of a person, Shen Nong in Chinese mythology. I don’t know if Shen Nong has appeared. It seems that he has not yet appeared. Even if he appeared, it has not spread here. After Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, he determined various medicines.
After that, herbal medicines were used rationally, and the doctor profession gradually emerged.
These herbs were one of the targets of the ancient war.
Among the herbal medicines, there are some things that he can use, and many of them in food cultivation are actually herbal medicines. Whenever he sees someone selling herbal medicines, he will pay attention and observe whether it is what he needs.
Apart from herbs, what Gu Zheng looks at the most is all kinds of food, not meat and food, but gadgets, such as the worry-free fruit that Tao had eaten before. There may also be things he needs in such things.
So you need to observe more.
Finally, even among those strange and strange things, there may be something useful among them. Even if you don’t do food cultivation, you can make a magic weapon, preferably an immortal weapon. Unfortunately, he is now
, it is still impossible to forge an immortal weapon. A good immortal weapon can increase a person's strength a lot, and can even kill people beyond the level.
There were many treasures before the ancient war, and I knew the importance of having good weapons.
"No more, I want more!"
Tao, who had been walking by Gu Zheng's hand, suddenly broke away and raised his hands to indicate that he had finished eating the two bunches of fruits just now and was not satisfied, so he still wanted to continue eating.
"Come to the front and I'll find something more delicious for you later!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. No matter what happens to Tao in the future, at least he is a child now, and he is still a child connected by blood. Gu Zheng had no brothers, sisters, or children before. Now Tao is not only his brother, but also a child.
Like his own child.
Gu Zheng doted on Tao in more ways than one.
Aunt Cui and Wu You said privately that sometimes the two of them looked like father and son, not like brothers. Also, Gu Zheng never said who was older between them, but privately, they both thought that Gu Zheng was the older one.
Brother, Tao is the younger brother. This is entirely based on the performance of the two.
"Okay, it must be delicious!"
Tao nodded immediately, looking very excited. He had never seen so many people and vendors before. Everywhere he looked felt very strange.
Walking slowly, the sky soon became bright, and there were more and more people, almost all of them crowded. Aunt Cui and Wu You followed Gu Zheng and the others closely, for fear of being scattered by the crowd.
In fact, every year at the big fair, many adults lose their children. If you are lucky, someone will take care of them and find them later. If you are not lucky, the children will disappear forever, and no one knows where they have gone.
At this time, no one is abducting or selling children, but if you can't stand someone who likes your child, you can just take it back and raise it yourself.
Of course, poor families will not do this, but it is possible for those who have some foundation. The survival rate of children nowadays is not high. Even if they have family foundation, there are still those without children, but they are only a minority.
"Wu You, go get that one back!"
After walking for a short distance, he saw Aunt Cui staring at a vendor selling needlework. Gu Zheng smiled and asked Wu You to change into a suit.
Aunt Cui has her own needlework, and he sews everything in the house, but she didn't take any of these things with her when she left in a hurry last time, and now she doesn't have them. This is also Gu Zheng's responsibility.
Wu You quickly replaced it with a set of high-quality bone needles. Bone needles were the mainstream at this time. There were also iron needles, but not many. They were only used by wealthy families in the city. Even though they were only made of bones, these bones
It's very hard and the quality of the needle is also very good.
Aunt Cui's previous ones also had bone needles, and there were good and inferior bone needles. This set was obviously better than the previous one, with more quantity and more complete varieties. Aunt Cui took it over happily, and picked up one after a while, and she liked it.
After a while, I picked up another one and looked at it again, without stopping.
Aunt Cui didn't have any wishes. She was fine in the past. She had a husband and parents-in-law at home. Although her two previous children failed, her family never blamed her. At that time, she felt very happy and just wanted to work hard to have another child.
It would be better to have a boy to make the family happy.
It's a pity that a disaster completely changed her family.
Especially after the death of her mother-in-law, some members of her parents-in-law's family still wanted to drive her away. If it weren't for the few young people who came back and fought to save her, she would have been driven away. Those few people thanked her father-in-law for risking their lives to protect her.
Well, no matter what, he will not let others bully him as a widow.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that Aunt Cui, a widow, has been able to live in the village.
In the past few years, some people have asked her to remarry, but she rejected them all. She originally thought that her heart was dead, but she didn't expect that after the villagers brought Gu Zheng and Tao that day, her heart seemed to be alive again.
When she came here, she didn't know who and where the two children's families were, but at that time she only thought about taking good care of these two children. Perhaps, the two children awakened her maternal love.
Sometimes she wondered if it was because her first two children failed, so God took pity on her and sent two more children.
Because of this, when the Great Immortal came, she did not hesitate to give the two children her qualifications to exchange for a lot of wealth, hoping that they would have a better future in the future, but in the end she did not expect that this
Daxian's sermon turned out to be a scam and almost harmed these two children.
But because of this incident, she knew that these two children were not ordinary people at all, but powerful immortals.
In her eyes, Gu Zheng was already an immortal. She didn't know the meaning of cultivating to become an immortal at all. She didn't know that only when one reaches the stage of refining and transforming Qi, one can be called an immortal. Before, he was just a cultivator of immortals.
Aunt Cui is easily satisfied. Regardless of Gu Zheng's status, it is enough for her to take care of these two children and watch them grow up, just like she is very happy now that she has got a good set of bone needles.
.
"This, this, I want to eat this!"
Tao suddenly pointed to the roadside again. This time it was not skewered fruits, but someone was frying a kind of food, exuding a faint fragrance.
Because of the strong aroma, a lot of people gathered here, especially many children. They were biting their lips and looking longingly at their families and the food they were cooking. The gluttons were also attracted.
Gu Zheng only took one look at it, then smiled and shook his head and said: "This smells good, but tastes ordinary. The oil he used is crudely refined oil, and it has been aged for a long time. It tastes ordinary. Smell it carefully."
Smell it, is there a hint of bitterness in the fragrance?"
There are ordinary people here, so there is no good oil, and the oil they use is definitely not willing to throw away. I don’t know how many days the oil has been used, and it has already changed its taste.
Although Gu Zheng is not a magic weapon and cannot directly identify ingredients from a long distance, he can make a rough guess. The food made from this oil will not be higher than the second grade. The most likely is low grade. The taste of such things is limited and gluttonous.
But being raised by Gu Zheng and holding it in his mouth would be surprising if he is used to eating it. Now he is just curious.
Sure enough, after hearing what Gu Zheng said, Tao immediately frowned and stopped asking to eat this thing after smelling it carefully.
