Chapter 140 Bustling Street Scene

After asking this question, Li Qi picked up a piece of dry-mixed chicken shreds with chopsticks and looked Piaoxu up and down.

This fox demon was beautiful and timid, which made people want to bully her. At this moment, when Li Qi looked at her, she turned her face away with a guilty conscience, and people could tell at a glance that she was afraid in her heart.

"Well, we are going to go to the market to see if we can buy the wind-walking talisman or some skills for monsters, but don't you have business to do, Miss Piaoxu?" Li Qi said kindly, without making things too difficult for her.

Hearing this, Piaoxu quickly replied: "There are waiters in the store, and my family... that ghost will take care of it, and I have Qiya to help. It's just some food in the restaurant, which is only half a day, it's not a big deal."

Li Qizhe asked: "Speaking of this, that ghost... did you deprive him of his consciousness? Let him become a puppet?"

"Of course not, if it became a puppet, how could it be so lifelike, but when I inherited the ghost of the tiger demon, he had been refined into this appearance when I got it. Although he still has consciousness, his true spirit is controlled by me, and he can't resist at all, so I ordered him to disguise for me..."

The ghost is such a thing, with consciousness, wisdom, ability to think, and even can feel that he has emotions, but all his joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are controlled by the tiger demon. Even if he is asked to lure his own flesh and blood to fill the tiger's stomach, he will not hesitate, without any guilt.

"If you think..." After she finished introducing, she hurriedly wanted to add.

"Forget it, take care of your own things. The ghost has long been dead. Strictly speaking, his mind is also fake. He is just a puppet. But since it won't delay the business, can you trouble Miss Piaoxu to lead the way for us? Of course, we have our own rewards to make up for the loss of the lady." Li Qi said so.

Piaoxu quickly replied: "Reward is not necessary. The two gentlemen saved my life, and the reward is due. How can I ask for more?"

Li Qi shook his head and took out a small translucent bead: "Take it. I treat people with justice. What is what is what is what. Saving your life is nothing to us, so we can't charge too much compensation. Living here for free is enough. If you ask for more, it will be unrighteous."

Li Qi said very seriously. After all, this is related to the way he agrees with, so it cannot be refused.

Hearing Li Qi's tone, Piaoxu didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to take the translucent bead.

The bead has a transparent shell, and five different colored airs are swirling inside. It looks very beautiful, but it is extremely cold when touched, and it can't be warmed up.

"Excuse me, sir, what is this?" Piaoxu asked in confusion.

"The five ghosts who tried to kill you before succeeded the first time, and I captured them with my spirit the second time and sealed them into this small bead. If you want to find your enemy, this thing may provide some clues. I think it is more appropriate to use this as a reward." Li Qi said so.

"Thank you for your trouble, sir." Piaoxu bowed to thank him.

"No need to do that, then you go pack up and we will eat first. When we go out later, you can take us to familiarize ourselves with the road. Don't waste too much time." Li Qi picked up the bowl and prepared to eat.

There was no way.

While he and Piaoxu were chatting, Rabbit had almost finished the food!

If you don't eat it, there will be nothing to eat!

Seeing this, Piaoxu chuckled and stepped aside. After a while, he sent another bowl of crab roe soup over.

The crab's roe is fresh and fat, sweet and greasy, white like jade and yellow like gold, which has achieved the ultimate in color, fragrance and taste. The crab is fried with oil, salt and bean powder. The more you chew it, the sweeter it tastes. It is almost like cheese, smooth and boneless, and it is really delicious.

Of course, there was another scramble.

Li Qi didn't grab it, because Shen Shuibi even used Taoist magic.

He ate only one spoonful, and the rest was eaten by the rabbit.

He was furious.

The good mood of the morning was gone.

Let's not talk about these. After about two quarters of an hour, the group went out to the market.

You don't know until you come. Once you come, Li Qi really experience the prosperity of Qingwu City.

This is the Great Deer Country, which is absolutely incomparable to the vitality and prosperity of those places in the oil industry.

Shen Shuibi didn't seem to have seen it before. She used to practice in Luofu Mountain and rarely went out in this life, so she looked at it very seriously.

She recognized the raw materials and principles of these things at a glance, but she had never seen such a fancy effect. It was really beautiful and made her stare at it.

As for Li Qi, a country bumpkin, he couldn't get enough of it. This extraordinary technique and magic made him stunned. It looked much more exciting than any special effects.

For example, a roadside flower shop displays flowers for sale, with branches and leaves scattered and staggered on the eaves. The house is full of flowers. There are dozens of flowers, such as goose, oriole, pine flower, steamed chestnut, jasmine, duruo, pearl orchid, mountain orchid, jasmine, cassia, and the house is full of flowers. The calyx is full of flowers, dripping and clustered. It is as big as a small bucket, with a fragrant smell. The wind brings the fragrance, like a beautiful woman, competing for beauty.

After seeing this flower shop, Li Qi knew where the fragrant flower dew in the porridge he ate in the morning came from. It was obviously winter, but these flowers were still blooming. I think there must be a secret method.

This is just a roadside flower shop.

Walking forward, I saw people playing chess, but they were not ordinary chess pieces. The chessboard was like a square, with little figures the size of a thumb on it, corresponding to the chess pieces. Each chess piece was ready with a spear and a sword at the ready, as if a country with thousands of chariots was fighting each other.

When the chess pieces are moved, 360 roads move at the same time, which symbolizes the number of Zhou Tian. The chess pieces are half white and half black, which symbolizes yin and yang.

The situation, life and death, survival and destruction of chess will affect the villain's every move. When playing chess, it seems that the conspiracy and bloody and cruel competition between the two countries are really manipulated.

Passing by a lake in the city, it seems that the nobles live there. It is just the end of winter, the snow has not melted, and the frost is thick (the white fog is diffused).

But in the lake, the sky, clouds, mountains, and water are all white, and there are a few black spots in the white. A closer look shows that someone is boating in the lake. The black in the white is just a trace of a small boat and a dot of a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The traces of black and white are like ink paintings, and the scenery is extraordinary.

There were also people making tea and drinking yogurt on the roadside. The yogurt was white and steaming. At first glance, it looked like jade liquid and pearl glue, snowy and creamy, with a fragrance that penetrated into the lungs. Sprinkled with honey and sugarcane syrup, it was extremely tempting.

Shen Shuibi clamored for it, so Li Qi bought three cups, one for each person.

After tasting it, it was indeed sweet and delicious, with excellent taste.

Looking ahead, there were houses newly built for the New Year. The newly built pavilions were made of precious and gorgeous materials. Whether it was silk and jade, or gold and fine paintings, they were all carefully built and designed by practitioners with skills.

Below, there was also a troupe invited to celebrate the new house. They played songs and dances, with mixed strings and bamboo, touching the skin, and joyful atmosphere. The gongs and drums were noisy. There were countless spectators on the roadside, and even Li Qi and others joined in the fun.

There were also street performers not far away, selling fantasy plays.

Looking at the magic play, I saw a black curtain at the beginning, and suddenly heard a thunderbolt, and the black curtain suddenly showed a scene, revealing a scene, using sheep horns to dye the five-colored clouds to show light and shadow on the black cloth, the light flames were blue, the color was like the dawn, and spread into beams, and then stepped on the moon cave. The scene was magical, flickering, and full of strange illusions. The plot was also carefully carved, forgetting that it was a play, it was simply a holographic projection movie, but it didn’t last long, only a quarter of an hour.

After the magic play ended, even Li Qi couldn’t help applauding, and Shen Shuibi even took out money to reward, which made Li Qi scold her as a spendthrift woman.

After passing a street stall market, the whole street was full of vendors, with houses and stalls, and stalls outside the stalls, and stalls outside the sheds, covering the entire street.

Walking into it, crowded and shoulder to shoulder, all came to shop.

In the small market, there are all kinds of crafts, rare and exotic goods from Fujian and Mongolia, rouge hairpins, tooth rulers and scissors, some small magic weapons, decorations, children's toys, musical instruments, and books.

Some are real and some are fake, and merchants and customers bargain and quarrel with each other, even the winter chill is dispelled, and it is hot, making people feel lively and noisy at the same time.

Li Qi originally only had ten gold coins on him, and after this market, he only walked around the street and went halfway.

It turned out that Shen Shuibi looked around and saw a white jade hairpin with a jade rabbit as the theme, and seemed to be a little happy that she was used as the theme.

Li Qi saw that Shen Shuibi's head was still the copper wire braided hairpin he bought before, which he had worn for a year, and his heart moved, so he bought it.

Shen Shuibi was very happy, holding her in her arms, laughing and talking, as if she was going to change it after taking a bath.

In short, it took only half an hour on this journey, and Li Qi fully witnessed the prosperity of this place.

Not to mention other pleasures such as pleasing the eyes and ears, sleeping on flowers and willows, building halls and mansions, and howling at the moon and the tide, just talking about this prosperity has exceeded Li Qi's previous cognition.

The brothel is indeed a brothel, and this is the scene when Li Qi has no money and can only wander around the streets.

If he is rich, then the pleasures here, I am afraid Li Qi can't even think of it.

This is the happiness of the rich.

Half an hour later, Li Qi and others passed several markets, but found themselves in a... arena?

There is even a faint smell of blood here. There are several circular buildings, and there are constant sounds coming from them. It seems to be a fighting arena?

However, Piaoxu, as a guide, stopped here: "We are here, two gentlemen, you can buy the Fengxing Talisman here."

"Ah? Here?" Li Qi looked at the arena and was a little surprised.

There are indeed things here, such as selling tickets, selling various standard magic tools, and hanging a lot of portraits of gladiators, probably endorsements and the like.

Speaking of standard magic weapons, Li Qi really underestimated the level of industrialization in this world. In the era of boat trackers, no one was too lazy to care about people like them. But in fact, there are also industrial magic weapons that are produced quickly here, but... they are not very popular.

After all, magic weapons are generally the best when they are customized or made by yourself. For things like the human body, everyone is unique.

Whether it is someone else's magic weapon or the so-called standard magic weapon, it can only play 60% to 70% of the effect. Only things that are completely suitable for oneself can play the full role.

This may be the reason why workshop-style handicrafts still exist. After all, things customized according to one's own situation are truly suitable for oneself. Although standard magic weapons are cheap, the effect is not very good.

For example, the Tang sword in his hand is a typical standard weapon. Every ninth-grade soldier in the Tang army has one, and there is also matching armor.

However, with the means of Tang Guolidao, even this standard weapon is much stronger than most ninth-grade magic weapons.

Now, Li Qi has some understanding of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is mainly dominated by three Taoist traditions.

They are Humanity, Dao Sect, and Li Dao, among which the absolute authority is Humanity. As a being above the first rank, the Human Emperor has also completed an agreement with Li Dao, and Li Dao exists as a vassal of Humanity.

The Taoist immortals also joined the Tang camp for some unknown reason.

Therefore, the quantity and quality of Tang's equipment and elixirs are unimaginable. The Taoist sect is extremely good at refining elixirs, and Li Dao's research on artifacts is at its peak. This has created the tens of thousands of Tang's cavalry that span the world and have never truly failed. .

Therefore, the Tang Dao in Li Qi's hand is much stronger than the standard weapons in front of him. It can probably cut through dozens of them without any effort.

However, his real trump card is the willow branch tied around his waist, which contains the spirit of great blessing and has never failed so far.

Hearing the doubts in Li Qi's mouth, Piaoxu quickly explained: "Sir, please don't think that this is just a place for duels. In fact, it is the largest trading center for magic weapons and spells below the ninth level in Qingwu City. ”

"I see, then please lead the way." Li Qi nodded and said.

Piaoxu nodded and led the two of them forward to the market.

Naturally, it is extremely prosperous, even more shocking than the free entertainment activities outside. Craftsmen and refiners from all walks of life are showing off their crafts and products. The sounds of various interactions are endless, and there are often light effects splashing around. It feels like It's like being in a raging steel flame, with weapons that can kill people flying around you at any time.

Passing by a specialty area selling weapons and armor, the three of them soon went to a place where charms were bought and sold.

——————————

And at the same time.

In the VIP auditorium of the arena outside.

This is an entire box, from here you can see the entire arena and what's going on below.

Now, in this circular arena, the game is called "The Victorious One".

It is also the most brutal form of gambling here.

Why is it called this name?

Because, in this competition system, every player who competes is a consistent winner, and there is no precedent for someone who has never lost a game to play again.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the loser is usually beheaded on the spot, which is the bloody moment that everyone loves to watch.

Every time the losers are eliminated, leaving only the winners.

Therefore, this competition system is called "The Winner".

In this box, a man in gorgeous clothes suddenly opened his eyes: "Mr. Si, I seem to feel your ghostly energy. It's down there. What's going on?"
