Chapter 42 Symmetry

The woman fearfully walked around the old monk and entered the inn with the martial artist.

She sat at the next table and looked at the martial artist a little aggrievedly, but did not dare to repeat the same trick.

It was nearly noon, and Liu Liu walked over from the east end of the street. When she saw the old monk in front of the door, she paused and hesitated to come over.

Just then, Cao'er came out with Qiuqiu in his arms. When he saw her, he waved to her. Seeing that Liu Liu was still hesitant, he stepped forward and pulled her over.

When entering the door, Cao'er glanced at the old monk and said, "Shopkeeper, it's just a freeloader. Why do you let him block the door and stop doing business?"

Unable to hear Yu Sheng in the kitchen, the old monk raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cao'er, and said calmly: "I'm not tall, but I have a bad temper."

"You~" Cao'er's height has always been a pain in her life. She had her hands on her hips evenly, like an angry little hen.

Just when she was about to "peck" the old monk, the Heavenly Master who came out pushed her into the inn and said, "Don't make trouble and go plant some grass."

Cao'er entered the inn angrily.

The little monk stuck his head out and said innocently: "The young lady is so cute."

"Pah." The old monk slapped the young monk on his bare head, "You forgot what I said to you."

"Oh." The little monk retracted his head and buried it in the bowl in aggrieved manner. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "Master, why is the monk afraid of women?"

"Cough, cough." Li Zheng, who had just gone out to call someone, came back and heard this sentence. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and turned his head away.

"Pah." The old monk slapped him again, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Oh." The young monk retracted his head in grievance. After a moment, he raised his head again, "Master, what should I ask and what should I not ask?"

"Snapped."……

Soon, all the aunts and uncles from the town came, and many children joined in the fun, filling the inn lobby to the brim.

But it's because merchants don't often come to the town, three of them suddenly came today, and everyone came here to buy some household goods.

When Yu Sheng came out, he saw some tea leaves and hurriedly wrapped all the tea leaves into round balls.

The inn only served boiled water to the guests, which made him feel very sad. Besides, he had just earned three guan of money from a black-faced brawny man a few days ago. It was a time when he was rich and wealthy, so he felt bad.

"Come one by one, come one by one." The traveler protected the bamboo basket and placed the goods on the table outside the door of the inn.

They were beaming, never expecting that business would be so booming in Yangzhou City, especially the merchants who sold out all the tea.

"There is a chess set." Bai Gaoxing also squeezed over. He held it up and said to Yu Sheng, "Shopkeeper, buy this for fun while visiting the store."

"Bought." Yu Sheng waved his hand and was immediately shocked after hearing the price quoted by the merchant, "How much, always!?"

Yu Sheng took the black and white pieces and said, "I'm glad, this piece is much more expensive than yours."

Bai Gaoxing ignored Yu Sheng's teasing and said to the trader: "Don't talk about a pair of chess pieces, can I sell you two pairs for five hundred dollars?"

"That's what you said." The traveler gnashed his teeth and said, "This is Lan Keshan's chess piece, and you generally can't buy it."

The merchant opened the rattan chess cage and showed the black and white shiny chess pieces inside, "I spent a lot of money to buy them."

"Lan Keshan is far away in the Central Plains. Who would sell you the chess piece?" Yu Sheng and Bai Gaoxing didn't believe it, so they turned around and started looking for other things in the bamboo basket.

The full name of Langke Mountain is Langke Mountain City, which was named after the city owner who became an immortal by playing chess.

This city lord uses heaven and earth as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces. He has great abilities.

According to legend, if a demon makes trouble near Langke Mountain, he only needs to eat the corresponding chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him, and the demon will die.

Under his influence, every citizen of Langkeshan City had a set of chess pieces, and some precious ones were passed down from generation to generation and were rarely sold to others.

Therefore, there are legends in the mainland that the chess pieces of Lan Keshan will have spirituality and even become spirits under the constant nourishment of chess power.

"Hey, really, really." The traveler stopped them.

This chess piece has been kept in the box for a long time and has been unable to be sold. The merchants were afraid of losing it, so they explained to them: "This chess piece was sold to me by a bad guy from Keshan in Gusu City."

"He was seriously ill at the time and had no money for medical treatment, so he sold me this family chess piece." The traveling merchant pointed at his companions, "If you don't believe me, ask them."

The two merchants nodded, "Yes, yes, Zhang San spent two hundred dollars at that time..."

Zhang San's traveler quickly covered his companion's mouth.

"Two hundred dollars!" Yu Sheng immediately bid.

"Eight hundred dollars." "Two hundred and five." "Seven hundred and five." "Three hundred."

"Six hundred!" the footman said decisively, "It can't go any lower. If you don't want it, I'll go to Yangzhou City to find someone who knows the goods."

He would not be able to play chess for the rest of his life, so he didn't care. He threw the trader aside, turned around and took out another cane from the bamboo basket.

This cane is very old, and the handle of the cane is very shiny when rubbed. Yu Sheng looks at him because this cane is very easy to hit people with.

When he held the handle of the staff, he twitched slightly, and a cold light emerged, almost cutting his finger.

"Hoo." Yu Sheng exclaimed, "Is this a sword?"

"It's rare and strange." Bai happily said, "This is a weapon commonly used by travelers. It can be used for self-defense and on the road."

He took the cane, looked up and down at the hilt and blade, and said behind the sword: "This sword is ordinary, not as good as my wooden box sword."

"Your sword is not as good as my kitchen knife." Yu Sheng said casually, which made Tianshi very depressed.

Who would have thought that Jin Yiwei's long sword, the long sword used by the Heavenly Master to slay demons and eliminate demons, is actually not as sharp as a kitchen knife.

With the sim card still around, I felt that I was barely a swordsman, and using a kitchen knife was too unprofessional, so I turned around and asked the traveler, "How much does it cost?"

The traveler said: "Five hundred dollars."

Bai Gaoxing knows the goods and interjected: "Three hundred dollars at most."

After being taught a lesson, the merchant said decisively: "Okay!"

Yu Sheng gritted his teeth and said happily: "You two hundred and fifty, two hundred and fifty is too much for me."

But the peddler reached out for money, and Yu Sheng was too embarrassed to go back on his word, so he pointed at the chess set and said, "It's seven hundred in total, do you want to sell it?"

"Sell." The footman said cruelly.

Yu Sheng happily took out the money and said: "Do you want to drink? One cup of authentic Chenmu wine, one cup to quench thirst, two cups to cure diseases, three cups..."

Yu Sheng paused, "Three cups won't do you any good."

"How much does Chenmu wine cost?" Although the traveler has traveled extensively, he has only heard of Chenmu wine and has never tasted it.

As mentioned before, cassia tree fruit does not grow on the east side of the mainland, and I have no idea where the old man got the seeds from.

"Always." Yu Sheng said, ready to make back the money he spent.

The three merchants all turned around and gave him a slap on the back of the head, avenging themselves for throwing him aside for the rest of their lives.

Bai Gaoxing touched the chess cage and said, "Shopkeeper, Chenmu wine is always worth it to those who practice martial arts, but it's really not worth it to ordinary people."

I don’t know for the rest of my life, but I can’t treat them differently, right?

The two of them walked back to the inn. Yu Sheng told Bai Gaoxing to brew tea, and then he personally brought a teapot and two teacups to the martial arts master.

"Thank you." The martial artist took the tea cup politely.

When he saw Yu Sheng placing another cup of tea opposite him, he said in surprise: "Shopkeeper, this..."

Yu Sheng, who had turned around, turned around and said, "In terms of aesthetic composition, symmetry is a kind of beauty. Our inn pays attention to this, so don't drink it."

"This..." The martial artist didn't understand this and was frightened by him.
