Chapter 41: Encountering a dishonest merchant in the market at the foot of Red Mountain

The Red Mountain is indeed red, and the golden-red color remains unchanged at all times. It seems that the mountain itself is emitting red light, standing like a huge torch on the earth.

Shi Yu and his party stood a hundred miles away from the Red Mountain, looking up at the huge mountain reaching into the sky, and everyone was dazzled.

Just climbing to the top will take a lot of time, Shi Yu thought to himself.

He watched strangely as many monks walked up step by step. There were actually people climbing up very high with their hands and feet.

"What are they doing? Body training?" Shi Yu pointed at these people and asked Yida.

"I don't know. We never knew that Red Mountain existed, let alone what it was like here." Yi Da also stared at the scene blankly, not knowing why.

"Why don't you, Shuangxue, go and ask?" In this situation, I had to ask Jiang Shuangxue to take action.

Jiang Shuangxue nodded and looked around. Although there were many monks at the foot of the mountain, they were scattered around the seemingly endless mountain. There was no one nearby, so he picked up a place in the distance where seven or eight monks gathered. Place to escape.

After a moment, Jiang Shuangxue turned back and shook her head: "Brother Shi Yu, those people said that the pressure on this mountain is huge, and it is difficult for those with insufficient cultivation to advance. Anyway, I don't quite understand, why don't we just walk around and give it a try, there is no danger. ”

Shi Yu thought it made sense, so he led everyone to walk closer to the Red Mountain. Before they reached the actual foot of the mountain, Shi Yu understood what was going on. His body became heavier as he walked, and his pace became slower and slower. They were still seven or eight miles away from the foot of the mountain. Jiang Shuangxue and the three brothers were still able to move, but Shi Yu couldn't take a single step.

"So that's it. This place is really weird. It's so oppressive." Shi Yu said breathlessly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"It is estimated that with our strength, we can only climb a hundred miles. This Lingxiao tree is on the top of the mountain and can't be seen." Jiang Shuangxue also gasped and said slightly.

"Go back first and think of a way." Shi Yu saw that walking like this was not an option at all. Let alone climbing to the top, whether he could reach the bottom of the mountain was a big problem.

The five people retreated to a distance, and Shi Yu sat on the ground and laughed loudly. Every time he went back and forth, his heart and lungs were almost bursting.

There are not a few monks in the same situation as Shi Yu and his party. Groups of monks from all walks of life have set up many camps around the mountain, and even formed small markets to exchange income from this world.

Shi Yu had no interest in this. Following Lao Tianji, his vision was much higher. In his eyes, except for the root of the world, which is the most precious treasure in the world, everything else is useless. But after all, that place has the largest number of people, so if you want to get the news, you have to go there.

"Shuangxue come with me for a walk and ask other people to see what to do. The three of you go for a walk and ask around. We will meet here later." Shi Yu arranged tasks for everyone and then pulled Following Jiang Shuangxue, she walked towards where the crowd gathered.

Jiang Shuangxue originally wanted to visit the bustling market, and after looking around eagerly for a long time, she was secretly happy when she saw Shi Yu leading her straight towards that place, and followed him obediently.

The market is not big, but it is also lively. Monks from all walks of life have taken out treasures that they cannot use to sell here. Although Shi Yu is not interested, Jiang Shuangxue is interested in seeing it. From time to time, he pulls Shi Yu to look here and there. Looking very interested.

Shi Yu shook his head helplessly. In his past experience, he had never been to a market where everything was ready-made. The bustling crowd here made Shi Yu, who was used to living in isolation, quite uncomfortable.

"Sir, look at this, a rare grass in the wood spirit world. It has excellent curative effect on injuries caused by bruises, broken bones and tendons, and you can recover in a matter of seconds.

! Only one piece of red Yuanling is worth the money! Sir, please give me a few dozen. "An unknown monk suddenly rushed in front of Shi Yu, stopped him and shouted loudly.

"A piece of red Yuanling. How can you take out dozens of such valuable things? Or are Yuanlings so worthless?" Before Shi Yu could say anything, Jiang Shuangxue quit.

"When we are young, don't we understand? A piece of red Yuanling buys you, and all your qiancao is even more! The nine-color Yuanling of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, white, and you give me a piece of it. I've opened my eyes!" Miss Jiang Shuangxue's temper got hotter, and she chattered like she was pouring beans over the monk.

"Hey, look what you said, girl, this is unique to the wood spirit world, you can't find it anywhere else! It's worth the price." The monk kept chattering.

"Tch~ Don't think that because my parents are not here, you can fool me. I know exactly how much Yuanling is worth! Even the lowest level of red is not something you and I can be lucky enough to touch. Seeing as your cultivation level is not as high as mine, Stop lying here!" Jiang Shuangxue's words were so sophisticated that she made the monk blush on the spot.

"You girl, you are not old, but you are very articulate. Where are your adults? Call me out. You don't know the market transactions. You agree with me. It's okay not to buy, but you must not derogate other people's things?" The monk refused to give up. , "If everyone slanders and slanders as casually as you do, can this business still be done?"

"Brother, my sister is young and ignorant, and I have offended you. Please forgive me. We have no intention of belittling this grass. We also ask for a large amount of it. Please forgive my brother and sister for being presumptuous." Shi Yu saw that something was not going well and hurried out. After finishing the ceremony, he bowed to the monk.

The monk glanced sideways at Shi Yu, and then looked around. Seeing that no one else came forward, he made a plan in his mind, "It's not impossible to let you two go, but this little girl has violated the rules. If everyone does this, this city will be ruined." How can we keep driving? In this case, you two can leave by paying me a piece of red Yuanling." After the monk finished speaking, he quietly looked around.

"My brother and sister don't have Yuanling. Please forgive me, eldest brother." Shi Yu bowed again.

Jiang Shuangxue also knew that this was not the time to lose her temper. Although she was not angry in her heart, she no longer struggled with her words. She just looked at Shi Yu who kept apologizing to others and pouted.

"This old man, Xing, is here to deceive the young man just because his elders are not here, haha!" Someone in the crowd suddenly said this.

Shi Yu raised his head and looked around. Although he couldn't find the person speaking, he understood something about it.

"Who said I was cheating? Is this what the rules of the market are like? So many people are here to comment and see if what I said is true?" Lao Xing did not feel guilty, but shouted loudly.

Shi Yu finally understood that there was a rule in the market, but Lao Xing deliberately stopped him from shouting about high prices in order to test whether the young monk knew the goods. If he didn't know the goods, he would be unlucky if he bought them. If you are sarcastic and don't have the support of your elders, then you can blackmail someone and you won't lose anything.

Now that he has figured this out, Shi Yu no longer wants to rely on logical communication to solve the problem. It doesn't look like anyone in this city will come to uphold justice, that is to say, everyone speaks based on their strength.

So Shi Yu suddenly stood up straight and said with a smile: "Are you really not going to let us go?"

Shi Yu suddenly stood up, and his aura changed suddenly, from that timid young man to a proud one.

Lao Xing was startled, looked around furtively, and shouted after a while: "What, did I say something wrong? Do you still want to admit it? If it weren't for your youth, I would have refused to reason with you. See you below!"

Jiang Shuangxue chuckled. This monk's Qi skills were not as strong as his own, yet he actually spoke so arrogantly. Could it be that no one had really taught him a lesson before?

This smile made Lao Xing even more angry. He took out more than forty stalks of Actinium striata in his hand, waved them in front of Shi Yu, spread them out and said angrily: "You have to take it if you want it today, and you have to take it if you don't want it. If you don't have Yuanling, take something." Come and change, whatever Grandpa likes. You broke the city's rules and are so rude, I won't let you go today!"

Shi Yu reached out and grabbed the grass, handed it to Jiang Shuangxue and told her to put it away, then turned and left. Jiang Shuangxue also smiled and followed.

Lao Xing stood there, showing no reaction at all, and still stretched out his hand blankly. When he saw Shi Yu coming to get it, he was already excited and thought he had frightened the boy. However, he didn't even see a single hair on it, and the gourd grass never came back. This was a clear robbery! Not only did I not scare the two little guys, I was also fooled.

After reacting, Lao Xing became angry and rushed to catch up, passing Jiang Shuangxue, and went straight to Shi Yu to grab him from the back. Although I didn't use a deadly force, I didn't scratch it lightly. If I hit it hard enough, the skin would be peeled off.

Seeing this from behind Shi Yu, Jiang Shuangxue also made a light stroke with her palm. The fierce wind blade instantly solidified and slashed towards Lao Xing's wrist.

Lao Xingzhen's kung fu is indeed not as good as Jiang Shuangxue's, but it's not that different and he can withstand it. The wind blade cut through the skin in the blink of an eye and disappeared. There was a shallow bleeding hole on Lao Xing's wrist, and a few strands of blood seeped out.

"Good boy, you robbed in the street and dared to let others commit murder. I must teach you a lesson today. Brothers, take action!" Lao Xing shouted, and in a blink of an eye, four or five men emerged from the crowd and surrounded Shi Yu Jiang Shuangxue.

"Haha, Lao Xing, I'm so embarrassed today. I was actually injured by two teenagers. It seems that your trick doesn't work very well." Many monks who were setting up stalls around them laughed.

Shi Yu looked around, smiled, and asked, "Is there anyone else? If you just want to watch the fun, stay away. You have no eyes for fists and kicks. It's not good to hurt everyone if you fight."

Shi Yu's unhurried and calm demeanor actually frightened those people. Lao Xing rolled his eyes, thinking about something. For a moment, the two groups were frozen with each other, and no one moved.

"What are you going to do? Fight or not, or we'll leave!" Jiang Shuangxue couldn't bear her temper and shouted to Lao Xing.

Lao Xing felt even more unsure. In the past, he had found such lonely boys and girls when he cheated and robbed. He and his brothers were not very skilled and could not afford to offend the masters.

If someone comes forward, then give up. After all, the other party broke the rules first, so naturally they won't be too strong. If you are really rootless or have no help for the time being, you will rob and run away. If the back-up can't find you again, it won't be broken. People's lives must be investigated to the end, and they will leave in a few days, so there is no way to care.

But today, not only were these two not afraid, they even robbed me and urged me to do it, meeting them for the first time.

"Ahem, so what, today is my unlucky day. You return the things to me, and we will pretend that nothing happened. You go with yours, and I'll sell mine." Lao Xing didn't seem to be a ruthless desperado. softened.

"Haha, Lao Xing, you are so scared. Can you still make a living by such means in the future?" The stall owners next to him began to laugh and ridicule.

"Go! Go! It's none of your business, so stop talking! What about me, Lao Xing, do you want to take care of me?" Lao Xing shouted with a red face.

Shi Yu also found it interesting. The robbery was like this. He was really sorry for this profession. He was not as tough as the three brothers. He smiled and nodded to Jiang Shuangxue. Jiang Shuangxue took out the pile of grass and threw it to Lao Xing.

Old Xing looked at Yi Le and didn't care what others said. He smiled and reached out to take it. Before he could take it, another hand appeared next to him and snatched the macadamia. He said lightly: "What are you afraid of? Someone bullied you today. I will be the judge." As he said that, he tightened his five fingers and dozens of macadamia turned into juice and dripped onto the ground.
