"There is news from Huo Nan that this monk paid more than 10,000 taels of silver to buy the Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel."
The firelight in the old smoking man's left eye danced, and the firelight that also danced in his right eye sent a message that only they could perceive and understand.
"The eyes look very raw, he must not be a local. The aura on his body doesn't look very strong. He has to take a woman with him when he comes to a place like Tuwei Lane, and he can spend more than 10,000 taels to buy magic weapons. He must be a
The young master just came to Canglan City to see the world by boat with his family at the beginning of spring."
When he said that this was a foreigner, the fire in his right eye also jumped excitedly, like a smoldering firewood being rekindled by the wind.
"Jie, Jie, Jie... I like this kind of fat sheep best. I have no background in Canglan City, so I can die a little cleaner."
"Even if he spends all his money on buying the magic weapon, if he can get the Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel back, this mid-level magic weapon will be ours."
"When the time comes, if you resell it, you will get a lot of extra money. It is not as fast as earning money by working hard here guarding the door."
"The boss steals things from the Sheng family and sells them. What he is doing is a business without capital. He always wants us to drink soup when he eats meat. Railway man, let's do it with this vote."
"That's right, that's right. What Master Zhong said is exactly what I meant."
"The fire man has the important responsibility of looking after the store. I'm afraid we won't be able to call him this time. It's really pitiful to stay underground in the dark all day."
"He who can do it should work hard. He is the boss's number one thug. He can only leave such an important task as looking after the store to him. As for the small things like killing people and grabbing treasures, let us do it."
"Ha, ha, ha... Jie, Jie, Jie..."
The two voices started talking to each other, becoming more and more excited as they talked. The cheerful and sick laughter echoed between them, and the two dark red flames jumped happily in the old man's eyes.
The old man was just a mortal. How could his fragile body endure such torture? Finally, after spitting out the last puff of tobacco, the tobacco stick in his hand fell to the ground and he died.
"Hey, this old man is dead!"
"It's bad luck, it's really bad luck. Just leave the body here and bring a new body when we come back."
Two balls of fire flew out from the eyes of the corpse, and one ball fell on the golden dry smoke pole that the old man dropped on the ground. The golden liquid squirmed and turned into a palm-sized golden villain. This villain had no facial features, only the trunk protruding from the middle.
The limbs and head looked strange.
After it has a body, it does not move away, but stays where it is and waits for its companions.
Another ball of fire fell deep into the passage, and with a rustling sound, rats, cockroaches, beetles, centipedes, toads... crawled out of the bottles and jars on both sides of the passage and gathered in a pile.
, biting, scratching, and squirming at each other, forming a body composed of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
The firelight fell into it, and a dazzling green light flowed around the whole body. The snakes, insects, rats and ants all over the body immediately stiffened and died, and stopped chirping.
The insect Taoist patted his hands made of poisonous snakes and toads, smiled with satisfaction, picked up a cloak from the clothes rack nearby, wrapped it around himself, put on a black cloth hat, and walked out of the store.
When passing by the railway man who was waiting at the door, it jumped into the arms of the insect man. A layer of black and gray gas enveloped the whole body, and the two walked out of the shop in a big way.
When passers-by saw the two strange-looking people, no one dodge. It seemed that no one could notice their strangeness. They just merged into the crowd and chased after Du Kang.
The corpse of the old man who died in the craftsman's workshop gradually became cold and stiff, while the fire man deep underground let out a disdainful sneer...
After Du Kang and Tan Hua left Tuwei Alley, they walked around the complicated roads in the market town. After making sure that no one was following them, they followed the backup plan and entered Canglan City directly from the nearest gate.
Today is the Spring Festival, one of the most important festivals in Daliang every year. Since it happened to happen, Du Kang planned to join in the fun.
Although the planned plan to make a fortune was not successfully implemented, there is still a black market in the west of the city. When I wandered around the two black markets in the past few days, there were always people who were blind and couldn't help but take action against him.
Even if the order in Canglan City is so good that no one dares to kill people and seize treasures, it will only be a waste of a few days. Du Kang has other ways to make quick money in his plan.
The size of the market town outside Canglan City is already quite large, and its prosperity is comparable to the core areas of Yangchun County and Tonggu County. However, after entering the city, the hustle and bustle that hit him made Du Kang understand what it means to have a population of millions.
of ancient large cities.
On the straight and wide stone road, there is a constant flow of people, and the sounds of talking, laughing and shouting can be heard in the ears. There are many shops, teahouses, wine shops, restaurants and butcher shops on both sides of the street. The street is full of the smell of food, wine, meat and fireworks.
There are also scattered stalls on the street, and hawkers are selling along the street. Among them are those who sell colorful candy figures, those who sell bamboo and rattan utensils, those who sell rouge gouache, those who carry burdens and sell tofu in the streets, and those who sell tofu in earthen jars.
There are many fishermen selling live fish in China.
Not far away, you can see the towering city walls of Canglan City, clearly telling visitors that this city is just one of dozens of cities in Canglan City.
Du Kang has never experienced such excitement since he traveled to this world, and Tan Hua has never seen such a crowded scene since he was born. The two of them immediately merged into the flow of people to experience this rare experience.
Fireworks in the world.
But when Du Kang and his two men entered the city, it was difficult for the following duo.
The original intention of the duo was to find a suitable time to kill Du Kang and the others not far from Tuwei Lane.
Unexpectedly, Du Kang and the two walked very fast. The duo only stayed in the shop for a while, following the scent they left, circling east and west in the market town. They hurried slowly and only saw each other at the last moment.
The two figures watched helplessly as they walked into the gate of Canglan City.
"Let's do this. The boss said we'd better not enter the city. There are demon mirrors and demon-killing mirrors hung on every gate in the city. Although we are covered with demonic energy, it stands to reason that the demon-erasing mirrors should not be able to reveal our true colors.
, but don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "And today is the Spring Festival. There are too many masters in the city. Who knows when we will meet a pair of eyes that can see through our disguise."
"Don't leave the store for too long. The boss will lose his temper if he finds out."
When the boss lost his temper, the two looked at each other and shuddered subconsciously.
"You're all here, just wait here all night. The demonic aura they infected in the store will not dissipate for a few days, and we don't know if they live in the city or outside the city. If they can come out before tomorrow morning, it will be our good fortune.
"If they can't get out, it means their luck has come and they can't force anything."
…
Time passed very quickly in the joy. The sun, which was already in the west, had already sunk into the distant plains, and a bright moon rose into the sky.
Lanterns were spontaneously hung on the doorsteps of shops and houses on the street. The city was filled with brilliant lights. The warm orange candlelight made Canglan City as bright as day.
If you look down from a high altitude, the criss-crossing main streets of Canglan City are illuminated into rivers of light, and the lanterns dotted inside the houses are like stars.
In the dark night, Canglan City is like a pearl located on the south bank of the blue sea, releasing its brilliance all night long.
Although it was a festival, the excitement in the city was still dominated by mortals, and most of the people in the market were mortals. Du Kang could occasionally see a few monks among them, and there was no need to give way to mortals. They were all immersed in the festival.
In a lively atmosphere.
It was the first time Tan Hua saw such a lively scene, and he quickly became addicted to it. He bought a hairpin here, a box of rouge there, and stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake in his mouth. The smile on his face never let go.
Only when you are alone with Du Kang and talk about painting can you reveal the temperament that an eighteen-year-old girl should have.
"Sir, can we find an island closer to Canglan City in the future? We will build a very big house on the island. If we have some free time, we can also come to Canglan City to play."
"After all, the prosperity here belongs to others. Has Tan Hua ever thought about dominating this city himself, or building a city more prosperous than it?"
Humans are very strange creatures. It is said that those who steal hooks will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred.
When Du Kang was short of money, he didn't want to steal people's money for no reason. He would only imagine that if he encountered a murderer to seize the treasure, he would benefit from it. But when he saw this beautiful city, he wanted to take it as his own.
I just felt heroic, and I didn't feel anything was wrong in my heart.
Just like Du Kang forcibly withheld the ground-holding tripod from Taoyuan Blessed Land and refused to return it, and also forced the Tao family to place the ground-holding tripod where he wanted. This may be the ambition of that damn man, which will plunder and dominate everything.
Romanticization ultimately makes men raise the knife in their hands out of desire and self-movement.
At this time, Tan Hua still couldn't understand this. Her heart was filled with this man. After hearing this, she dropped the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand and hugged the man's arm.
"Whatever the young master wants to do, he will definitely be able to do."
The street is like a heavenly street, and the two people standing on the street are like heavenly beings.
A vendor pushing a cart passed by the two of them. The wooden masks hanging on the cart were of exquisite workmanship. Tan Hua took off one of the masks and it turned out to be a ghost face.
This face is carved from a whole piece of black wood. The black-faced and fanged evil spirit carves a vicious smile along the naturally growing wood texture. The only drawback is that the mask's eyes only have two reserved holes, making it
The mask looks dull.
Tan Hua put the mask on Du Kang's face, which was like the finishing touch. Du Kang's eyes made the whole mask come alive. From the perspective of Tan Hua, it looked like this evil ghost was about to choose people to devour.
"I used to think that the young master was handsome, but today I realized that his eyes are so fierce."
The vendor pushing the cart also stopped, took off another green ghost face from the cart, handed it to Du Kang, and said with a smile.
"It's good to be fierce. The more fierce, the better. In this world, kind people can't survive. This is a very auspicious look, sir."
The demonic power surged on his face, causing the mask to be attached tightly to his face even without the string attached. Du Kang looked at the cyan ghost mask on his hand.
It was discovered that this mask was not dipped in paint, but was carved entirely from a cyan wood. The lines on the face of the mask complemented the texture of the wood, making the mask extremely indifferent.
“Good craftsmanship and good insights.”
Du Kang put the mask in his hand on Tan Hua, and his pretty face was covered by a cyan ghost face. They both looked at the stall, and Tan Hua's voice sounded slowly.
"You said it's a good sign that my young master is fierce. Then do you think I'm fierce enough? Can I be worthy of my young master?"
"It's a perfect match, one made by heaven and made by earth."
Behind the green ghost's face came Tan Hua's usual chuckle. She put the ten taels of silver in the car and blended into the crowd with Du Kang and drove away.
"Not only are you good at your craftsmanship, but you also have excellent eyesight. We bought these two ghost faces."
The vendor put away the money, looked at the words written on the cart, and walked in the other direction. Only a person who knew at a glance that he was not short of money could buy a five-yel mask.
Now, he is going to look for the next customer.
No matter how wonderful the excitement is, there will be times when it dies down.
In the second half of the night, with a lot of things stuffed in their stomachs, the two people walked back to the city gate after walking around a city. They could clearly feel that the crowd had thinned out, and many vendors on the street had begun to clear up their stalls.
"Sir, let's go back. If we continue shopping, we will accompany others to close the stalls. It's unacceptable to see people like that."
"Okay, I will listen to you today."
Walking out of the long corridor of the city gate, Du Kang's footsteps paused for a moment, and then he walked towards the row of carriages parked at the city gate with no trace of his conversation.
"I'm going to Pier 16. There's a batch of goods that I need to handle urgently. Which of you has the fastest car?"
The grooms who were taking a nap against the car just raised their eyes and ignored him. There were few pedestrians outside the city tonight. It is said that the less people there are, the easier it is. They were not willing to take this kind of unsafe job.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I'll go, five taels of silver."
An old horseman with white hair stood up. Du Kang took a deep look, gave him ten taels, and jumped straight into his carriage.
Amidst the crackling of the whip and the ticking of the horse's hooves, the wheels rolled and turned. The carriage was getting further and further away from Canglan City, and the buildings on the roadside were getting sparser and sparse.
Canglan City's trade is prosperous. In addition to the canals and waterways where ships can sail directly, a large number of docks have been established outside the city along the Canglan River. Some small boats that cannot enter the city will unload their goods directly at the docks outside the city and then transfer them to the city by land.
Today is the Spring Festival, and the wharf, which usually operates around the clock, is rarely idle today. After all, the workers unloading the goods also want to join in the excitement that only happens once a year.
After the carriage completely left the market town outside the city, there was an area without lights between Canglan City and the dock. Only the dim moonlight could barely illuminate the road ahead.
The carriage hired by Du Kang traveled on the road for half a day before encountering a carriage traveling in the opposite direction, until it was blocked by a tall figure standing in the middle of the road.
"Don't block the road."
The old horseman, who was extremely nervous on the night journey, cursed in his heart for bad luck, and shouted loudly without even thinking about it.
The old horseman is experienced. If he is just an ordinary drunk pedestrian, he will most likely get out of the way when he hears the sound. Even if he encounters a monster, the carriage is still far away and there is still a chance to escape.
He was answered with a loud bang.
I saw the figure raising the iron rod in his hand high and swinging it toward the ground in front of him.
Boom!
Along with the sound came the wail of the earth, and the poor horse pulling the cart stood up on its front hooves in shock from the vibration and sound on the ground.
Hu~
The old coachman tightened the reins in his hands, jumped out of the car and ran towards the river. After many years of driving, the old man had experienced and heard all kinds of weird and cruel stories.
In this case, the best chance of survival is to run away directly. With the two people on the carriage buying you time, you may have time to jump into the Canglan River.
As for his own horse and cart, if he even lost his life, why would he need them? He shouldn't take this business tonight.
Under the moonlight, the human-sized railway man, who was glowing with golden light, did not pay attention to the running away horseman, but looked at the horse pacing in place, and said two auras of different colors in the carriage.
"Boy, you suddenly walked out of the city late at night, you didn't find me, did you? With your strength, you dare to take the initiative to choose the battlefield. I'm afraid you were ruined by the stories in the novel."
After waiting for a while, seeing that the other party still had no answer, the impatient railway man simply stepped forward with a stick. He thought that no matter what conspiracy the other party had, he would give him a stick first and then talk about it.
Just then! Whoosh!
In the woods on the roadside, a black shadow rushed towards the railway man. He immediately stood on the ground and swept towards the black shadow with a stick.
clang!
A deafening metal collision sounded, and the black shadow was knocked away. The railway man stood motionless, but ripples like water rippled on his golden stick and body.
The black shadow that was knocked away smoothly changed direction in mid-air, smashed a big tree, and flew back to the carriage, where it was caught by a big hand that stretched out the door curtain.
At this time, a muffled groan came from beside the broken tree, and a figure in a black robe and hat covering his shoulders appeared.
"Young man, you can actually see through our demonic aura and refine the Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel in such a short period of time. We underestimated you."
At this time, Du Kang was checking the opponent's information obtained through weapon contact on the panel.
