Chapter 22: Have you seen this episode somewhere?
"Sorry, Brother Chen, the magic talisman thing is a bit troublesome. You also know Jiuchong Mountain Xuanjing. Everyone wants to buy some magic talismans to keep with them, so I'm going to Sold out.”
In the inner city of Fucheng, where the Merchant Alliance resides.
The waiter said helplessly that there was no stock, then looked around and whispered: "However, it is not completely impossible. As I said last time, there is a young master in the Ying family who draws talismans in private. Make money, but you have to pay a higher price."
"Last time, you said you would sell me cheap, but now you are raising my price?" Chen Ding said with a straight face, "Don't do it again. It's alarmist, Jiuchong Mountain Xuanjing has only killed and injured a few mortals so far. Even the spiritual talismans of your business alliance have been sold out. Let me tell you the truth, these spiritual talismans are all from the surrounding small counties, and the monks who are busy practicing are entrusted to me. Come and buy, I’ll just make a profit. If you insist on raising my price, I’ll leave now! If you sell me at the original price, I’ll buy a hundred bottles of Condensation Pill talismans now.”
"Hey, Brother Chen, this is really difficult to handle. Forget it, we have done so much business, just this time." The waiter looked helpless, but went back to pick up the goods smoothly.
After completing the transaction.
Chen Ding also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said secretly: "Jing'er asked me to go down the mountain and asked me to buy as many spiritual talismans as I have, and to purchase other treasures related to fighting skills as much as possible. Now my family is empty. Once it's all gone, If you buy it, you have to skin the little bastard when you go back."
He has been here several times, using various reasons to make deals. Now the storage bag is full of magic talismans, and there is even an extra pair of flying talismans. Sword, and two turtle shell instruments.
If it weren’t for the uneasy feeling I’ve been feeling these past few days, and my trust in my son... well, the main reason is that my family has made a fortune, and buying these is not as painful as before.
Economy is the basis of everything.
When leaving the merchant alliance, a familiar figure passed by Chen Ding. Chen Ding looked at him, smiled and then passed each other.
It was a coincidence that I could meet Mr. Duan...
But Mr. Duan, who was walking by in a hurry, did not take Chen Ding to heart. He was preoccupied and went straight to the waiter of Jianbao Pavilion and said: "How many talismans are there in the pavilion? Bring them all up."
"Huh?" The waiter was stunned.
Haven't reacted yet.
Another hurried step approached, and shouted "Wait a minute!" The visitor walked closer, glanced at Steward Duan, and said with a smile: "My Mi family also wants to buy magic talismans. The magical instruments and elixirs were all brought to me."
"It's so lively."
"Fortunately, I came quickly."
Then again. Two people come over.
The stewards of the four wealthy families in the inner city gathered together in Jianbao Pavilion.
Guanshi Duan said angrily: "You are following me, disgusting, perverted, and shameless!"
"Haha, Guanshi Duan escaped from death in the mysterious scene. Could it be that he was frightened to death? Everyone has ill intentions towards you?"
"The Duan family is getting better and better."
The four of them started to argue. It was so lively that the other waiters pricked up their ears and were the first to eat melon at a close distance.
There was only one waiter, and I felt a chill in my heart.
On the front foot, he sold a few batches of alchemy magic weapons to Chen Ding. On the back foot, four wealthy families came to rush to buy them... He didn't want to think about the subtleties, because the three words "sold at a loss" , had already filled his brain, making him dizzy and regretful.
......
Not long after Chen Ding returned to his house, news of Xuanjing's sudden change quickly came.
After Old Man Yang transformed into a tree man, he started killing everyone. If he hadn't been unskilled in mastering the power for the first time, probably no one would have been able to escape at that time.
Other mortals also gradually showed their ability to transform into trees after being stimulated.
There were so many people present, including four families and one alliance, cultivating families from the outer city, cultivators from counties and towns, etc. that the news of the outbreak of chaos could not be concealed at all.
The fact that it took so long to spread is due to the fact that the communication methods here are not widespread enough.
At this time.
A large number of practitioners have realized that they need to add magic weapons and talismans to seek ways to protect the Tao. If you don’t live here, a misunderstanding will arise.
I always think that the means of cultivators are spells and skills, and everyone can bombard with fireballs. In fact, this is not the case. Low-level monks rarely practice offensive spells, and they mostly use foreign objects instead.
The rich use flying swords, the poor buy spiritual talismans and practice their own spells? There is no such condition.
In fact, it is easy to understand. If a person does not feel safe, how many people will go to the gym to learn fighting? Buying body armor and anti-explosion sticks is the first choice to improve combat effectiveness.
Unfortunately, practitioners who realize it later are doomed to be disappointed.
When they ran to the inner city and tried to buy the magic weapon and elixir, they got the bad news that it was sold out.
Business alliances are open to do business, and business naturally requires a supply and demand relationship.
Anning Mansion has been at peace for hundreds of years, and the reserve of fighting skills in the inventory has never been high. Now the four major wealthy families have taken the lead and are rushing to buy them. Where is there left.
But I have to buy it, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep well.
As a result, in order to purchase a life-saving escape talisman, its price increased several times, and panic spread amid the rush.
Chen Dingren was in Fucheng, looking helplessly at the magic talisman in his storage bag, turning it over several times, but he didn't dare to say a word, and could only secretly rejoice that he was far-sighted.
"Sure enough, when the world changes, Jing'er can adapt better."
Thought of this.
He no longer stayed in Fucheng to wait and see the situation, arranged everything, returned to Qingniu Mountain, and went straight to find Chen Jing.
Urgently analyze the current situation with my precious son.
Returning to Qingniu Mountain, I looked around and saw no one. After asking Xiaoman, I found out that Chen Jing had quietly gone down the mountain.
“Young son, you turned a blind eye to the grounding order!” Chen Ding was furious. He looked around, ready to find the cane that he could find, but then he became discouraged: “Young son is quite assertive. My father is so powerful. "I can't move."
I could only sit at the door and wait, looking for the stars and the moon. I was so impatient that I finally saw Chen Jing's figure.
Chen Jing actually walked up the mountain step by step carrying an unconscious woman on his back.
When he saw his father, Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and then whispered: "Dad? Dad, listen to me, it's like this. I went down the mountain to watch the wind today, and I saw a woman who was seriously injured. Understand, the child is always kind-hearted, and he hates to see anyone suffer. Please don’t misunderstand, and don’t make it public..."
"Wait a minute." Chen Ding got a headache when he saw his son starting to read a short essay. He waved his hand and interrupted: "I know, I know, you go deal with it first, and then come to my side."
"My child Farewell, father."
"What for nothing?"
Chen Ding was confused, but Chen Jing had already trotted away to his own small house.
Wait a moment.
Not long after, Chen Jing came back quickly, without even having time to change his dirty clothes, and asked: "Dad, what's the matter? By the way, have you bought everything you need to buy?"
" I bought them all, tell my father, how did you know that the price of this magic talisman will be so high?" He asked this question immediately, and vividly described how the monks begged their grandfather and grandma for the magic talisman. Described it once.
Immediately, Chen Jing solved his doubts with just one sentence.
"I remember when I went to Fucheng with my father, there were people dying of hunger everywhere outside the city. The chaos among the monks today is just a repeat of the chaos among the common people in the past."
"This..."
< br>
Chen Ding was suddenly startled and felt a chill running down his spine.
That inexplicable sense of déjà vu finally got its answer at this moment.
