Chapter 13 Walking the Street
The two of them walked out of the inn with a bird and chatted along the way. The first stop was the spirit beast ration shop in the market.
Tuanzi creates a chance for the wet nurse to get on the boat, and you can get a reward without any politeness. The dried fruits and dried meat that you have never seen before must be worth two taels.
In a foreign land, various specialty rations are naturally different from those of the righteous land, but there are also some taboos. Many animal jerky meat is not sold. The reason is naturally because the northwest is the territory of the demon clan, and selling the meat of other people's descendants in public will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the demon clan giants.
Miss Qiu saw this scene and was a little disdainful. She walked to a place where no one was there and commented:
"The alien race says, 'The way of heaven is no noble and humble, and all living beings are equal', but in fact it is the most hypocritical; what they call equality is just the equality of meat eaters, and those races that do not speak out by the strong are not fish in their mouths. Our righteous path seems to be less tolerant than the alien race, and more like the barbarians who prey on the weak, but as human race, we regard human race as respectful, and only target foreign races. No matter what kind of birds and beasts, they treat everyone equally, and are much more honest than foreign races..."
Zuo Lingquan shook his head and smiled: "What I said is that one is a hypocrite and the other is a real villain, and there is no good thing."
Miss Qiu did not deny this: "The right way is the right way of the human race, not the right way of heaven and earth. For heaven and earth, we are the evil people who bully all races and override all sentient beings. If a foreign race insists on taking the body of an mortal and performing the responsibility of the God of Heaven, it is equivalent to denying one's own origins and being an enemy of the human race. It seems that he has lofty intentions and concern for the people, but in fact it is the way to die. My grandfather has said that if the human race is gone, what's the use of heaven and earth?"
When Zuo Lingquan heard the last sentence, he chuckled:
"I understand why the old sword god doesn't like me."
"Oh? Why?"
"What I thought to myself is, if my family is not here, what does life and death have to do with me? The way I seek is lower than that of the old sword god, and it is easy to stand on the opposite side."
Miss Qiu may have remembered the old thing and was silent for a moment before whispering:
"You are all right. Grandpa's actual personality is no different from you. He cares a lot about his family. He is just in his position, forcing grandpa to make a choice that disappoints his family but understands when he encounters a dilemma.
"My father is not good. He obviously doesn't have the ability of his grandfather, so he doesn't learn from his grandfather's temper. If he had half of your enlightenment, I might still stay in the Nine Sects. Maybe you won't even meet Shangguan Lingye, and you will become my junior brother."
Although Miss Qiu was half-joking, her unforgettable thoughts about her childhood experiences were hard to conceal her eyebrows.
Zuo Lingquan could only sigh softly at this, and didn't know how to comfort him for a moment...
The sudden silent atmosphere made the dumplings squatted on Zuo Lingquan's shoulders spread their wings straight, which was about: I asked you to cheat the wet nurse, don't you use sweet words to make the girl happy and talk about these messy things? Do you expect "Qiu Pingping" to be sad from your heart and can't you cry in your arms?
Zuo Lingquan also felt that the topic was a bit heavy. Fortunately, the two were not far from Wanxiangzhai. After walking for a few steps, they arrived outside the shop. Miss Qiu also put away her mood.
Wanxiangzhai is quite large in scale, with three floors, and is decorated in a magnificent and grand manner. However, the things sold in it can only be described as "the goods are not good but the prices are not cheap". They are all calligraphy, paintings and ornaments, and they are not even written by famous masters. Some of them may be painted by the owner themselves.
There are basically several such shops without a market, most of which are worshipped by the market. The relatives of the boss’s family sold not cultural relics, but human nature.
When Zuo Lingquan entered the shop, there were some customers inside, most of whom were disciples of aristocratic families walking on the business road, and they asked the boss to take care of their relationship here.
There was a manager in the hall because they were all customers who came to ask their boss for their business, so the manager's attitude was naturally not polite. He leaned against the counter and drank tea and turned a blind eye to the two people entering the door.
Although Taotao, who is wise, was not in front of you, Zuo Lingquan could still deal with these daily contacts. After walking around the hall, he asked:
"Fellow Daoist, can you ask if Zheng Dong's family is in the store?"
The manager was about the early 40s and responded directly:
"When you meet an older person in the path of cultivation, you must be called a fairy-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-elf-
Zuo Lingquan wanted to reply: "If I can't?", but he was doing investigations and was too reckless to do so, so he continued:
"My companion and I want to go into the Huangliang Blessings to retreat. I heard that Zheng Dong's family has a way. Can I inform you?"
The manager's eyes signaled to the cultural relics in the hall: "The boss is so elegant and does not lack one or two immortal money. When you meet guests, you will only meet your fellow friends."
The meaning of this is obviously to buy something as a stepping stone.
Gu Zuo
Zuo Lingquan was not surprised by this. He was doing such a business and was doing money, and he would do whatever he was bad. He looked around the lobby and saw that there were many portraits of fairies hanging on the wall. The painter could not be said to be lifelike, at least he looked like a person.
Zuo Lingquan came to the scroll to observe. Although he didn't see that no one knew the portrait, he still figured out who was painting. After all, the name was written in the lower left corner, and the seal of the shop owner Zheng Yu was also stamped.
Like the righteous land, no matter how big the background of the immortal shop is, he dare not hang out the beauty picture of the immortal king on the top of his mountain. There is no portrait of Mei Jinshui on the wall; but Zuo Lingquan looked around and saw the word "Valkyrie".
Although Shangguan Yutang is the immortal king on his opponent and is an "evil demon" to the alien race, where is the identity of the immortal king? Its reputation is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and no one in the world dares to joke around.
Judging from the fine brushwork of the portrait, the shop owner painted quite solemnly, and the background and even the mounting are relatively formal, without any charm. The only disadvantage is that the painting does not look like a real person.
The person who wrote the pen must have never seen the Valkyrie with his own eyes. The woman in the portrait is a version made up by people who spread rumors, which is in line with ordinary people's usual impression of strong women - they are tall, slender limbs, icebergs in their face, and a cool temperament.
To put it simply, Miss Qiu looks like her. Her breasts are a big circle smaller than the ancestor herself, her waist and hip curves are not as hot as her eyes, and her eyes are not as powerful as the ancestor.
Of course, this is not to say that Miss Qiu has a bad figure, but that her ancestor is really tall and takes advantage of her body shape. Her identity brings absolute temperament crushing, which is enough to make any woman standing by her side in the world pale. The only person who can wrestle the wrist is probably the only one Mei Jinshui.
Miss Qiu had never seen Shangguan Yutang's original master. After observing the portrait for a moment, she asked:
"What does Valkyrie look like?"
Zuo Lingquan shook his head: "There is much better real person than the portrait."
Although Miss Qiu "knows" that the Valkyrie is meaningless to Zuo Lingquan, she suspected that Zuo Lingquan had some thoughts about the Valkyrie and asked again:
“How good is it?”
Without thinking, Zuo Lingquan said in a silly sentence: "There is a beautiful woman in the East, who is peerless and independent; a smile that makes people fall into the city, and a smile that makes people fall into the country."
Miss Qiu was stunned, commented carefully, and nodded slightly:
"You are the first one who dares to evaluate the appearance of Valkyrie and calls him "beauty"""
Zuo Lingquan felt that Miss Qiu had something to say, so he responded with a smile: "Miss Qiu is not the same as a beautiful person, but the appearance of an iceberg. Others dare not praise her, but it is not that she is not good-looking. Could it be that if I praise her truthfully, I will be wrong?"
"How can I compare with Valkyrie?"
Miss Qiu obviously enjoyed this praise. After muttering a soft voice, she turned elsewhere.
Tuanzi raised his claws, as if he wanted to kick Zuo Lingquan, but in fact he meant giving him a thumbs up.
Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and patted it lightly, making Tuanzi pretend to be stupid, and continued to buy cultural relics that had no background. Finally, he picked it up and bought the pirated portraits of the ancestor, and the price was that it looked like the authentic ones.
After spending money to use it as a stepping stone, Zuo Lingquan successfully met Zheng Yu, the owner of the shop.
Zheng Yu is the distant nephew of Zheng Yan, the butler of Tianying Castle. He is greedy for money and is polite. He has nothing to say. His only advantage is that he has enough money and is very quick to do things.
After Zuo Lingquan praised his painting skills and paid for the incense money to enter the blessed land, Zheng Yu did not even ask about his identity and background, and directly started to arrange it. Zuo Lingquan, who was smooth, was a little doubtful if there was a fraud, and he also asked on purpose:
"The Zheng Dong family won't ask about our origins? What if we are evil heretics and heresy, we go to the blessed land to cause damage?"
Zheng Yu's answer was extremely straightforward: "Whoever is not a demon or a heretic, I only recognize the money. I give it enough money. Even if you are a detailed work sent from the east and want to destroy the Sky Eagle Castle, I will turn a blind eye. The integrity of the businessman is based on, which is called 'morality'."
Zheng Yu's words were joked, but they were not fake, because those who could go through the back door to the blessed land from him were 100% disgraceful. Ninety percent of them had a grudge against the Military Police Temple, and one hundred percent were unscrupulous wild cultivators wanted by the entire alien race. If you really check it, this kind of business would not be done at all.
As for the Destroyed Sky Eagle Castle, Zuo Lingquan has this ability, and Zheng Yu dares to investigate is seeking death; if he doesn’t have this ability, what can he put it in?
But Zheng Yu probably didn't expect that Zuo Lingquan didn't tell any lies.
