"... Fan Jizheng in Fuhai City has been cautious all his life, watching the wind. He was also complacent about rejecting the engagement with Zhang Tie during the day. He thought he could escape a big trouble, but he didn't expect that Fan Jizheng was smart and counterattacked. Being fooled by cleverness, a huge disaster happened to his house in the blink of an eye. On the night Zhang Tie left Fuhai City, a strange black shadow came like a wisp of blue smoke in the night. Arriving at Fuhai City, in the blink of an eye, he avoided the endless patrols and arrived outside the courtyard wall of Fan Jizheng's home. The courtyard wall, which was just over two feet high, was surrounded by a strange black shadow. In front of me, it was like a seven-foot tall man stepping across the threshold of the restaurant. With just a 'swish', the black shadow disappeared outside the wall and appeared in the courtyard of Fan Jizheng's house in an instant... "
In the restaurant, the whole hall was quiet. All the guests at the table were staring at the storyteller in front of the eight-foot screen in the middle of the hall on the first floor of the restaurant. They all pricked up their ears and listened to the storyteller's lively and catchy words. That wonderful plot in "The Legend of the Black Iron Hero".
For those who like to listen to books, many people have heard the following plot more than once, but this is the interesting thing about storytelling. Even the same plot can be interpreted differently in the mouths of different storytellers. It was just as exciting, so everyone still listened with gusto, and many people held their breath.
And on the second floor of this restaurant, a young man in his twenties, dressed in brocade clothes with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was also in a private room on the second floor, drinking tea and listening to the storyteller downstairs with relish. Performance.
Two strong bodyguards stood behind the young master like two iron towers, holding their arms and guarding the door.
Just when the storyteller had just mentioned that several nursing homes of Fan Jizheng's family had their heads dislocated and blood all over the floor after a cold wind, there was a bang, and the private room door behind the young master was suddenly pushed hard. When he opened it, the young man who was immersed in the scene of "The Legend of the Black Iron Hero" shivered with fright. Half of the tea cup in his hand suddenly spilled on his hand, which made him gasp for breath.
The young master was furious and turned around to scold him, but the boy in Tsing Yi who was sweating profusely rushed into the box and stunned the young master with just one sentence, "Sir, that grocery store just opened..."
"What, you said that grocery store has opened!" The young man suddenly forgot about the tea in his hand and grabbed the boy, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, of course I'm sure!" The boy nodded while wiping the sweat from his forehead, and said out of breath, "I've been guarding the place for half a month, there's no mistake. , just now, I saw that the grocery store was open, so I ran over to tell the young master!"
"Let's go!" When he heard that the grocery store was opening, the young man suddenly turned from anger to joy. He stopped listening to the book and threw a gold coin on the table. He turned around and rushed towards him with the boy in Tsing Yi and the two bodyguards behind him. After leaving the restaurant, we came to the street outside.
When he came to Heiyan City this time, the young master came just for the grocery store. However, the grocery store usually fished for three days and dried the nets for two days. It was open only a few days a month, and the boss was often invisible. That's why he waited in Black Flame City, but he didn't expect to wait for more than half a month.
People were coming and going on the street, rubbing shoulders one after another, and it was extremely lively. Among every ten people on the street, there were only three or four Chinese, while those foreigners from the Western continent or other continents with various skin colors and costumes, But there were six or seven of them, and even the barbarians and ascetic monks, pioneers, and even some female jungle warriors on the subcontinent could see them.
The shops on both sides of the street are also lined with various signboards, and the characters on those signs are also all kinds of strange. In addition to Chinese, there are also Western languages commonly used in the Western continent, Slavic, and even some rarer characters. And among those The things and products in the shops with various signs are even more bizarre. There is almost nothing you can't imagine, and there is nothing you can't buy here.
People of different races gather here, different products, and different cultures merge here. The noisy streets are full of strange southern and northern accents.
In the whole of Taixia, it is not that there are no foreigners other than the Chinese. For example, in Guizhou, Taixia, there are many foreigners, but on an ordinary street in a city, so many foreigners can gather, and all of them There is only one place where everyone can still live in peace - Black Flame City in Youzhou.
This is the Black Flame City in Youzhou, a city full of Western architectural colors that was rebuilt based on the small town of the same name in the Hawaiian subcontinent. The two Black Flame cities not only have the same name, but many of the buildings and even the street planning in the city are very similar. Similarly, this city is also the most charming and legendary city in Taixia in the eyes of all "foreigners" who come to Taixia. The lord of this city is named Barry, a fat man who makes people love and hate him. Bali and several of Bali's famous brothers ruled the city.
What really makes this city famous among the entire human race is the protagonist in "The Legend of Black Iron Heroes" just now. Almost anyone who has heard of that name can't help but come to Black Flame City to take a look.
In the year 928 of the Black Iron Calendar, almost all the demons that appeared on the ground in various continents and subcontinents were driven underground again. It is said that there are still human knights and masters fighting the demons in the Earth Yuan Realm to this day. They clamored that the Holy War was not over yet, but in the eyes of many people, in the year when the demons were driven back underground, this Holy War was almost over.
The current time is April 5, 941 in the Black Iron Calendar. It is the turn of spring and summer in Youzhou, when everything is full of vitality.
The young master, with a boy and two guards from the house, wandered all the way, and finally arrived in half an hour at a small street connected to the main street near the Heiyan City train station, which was neither lively nor remote. In the alley.
Not far from this alley, there is a spontaneously formed flea market in Black Flame City, bustling with people. On the street outside, there is a huge flow of people coming off the train station. Just around the corner of this alley, An inconspicuous place, the grocery store that the young man had been waiting for half a month, finally opened its doors.
When he saw the grocery store open, the young master let out a long sigh of relief. He deliberately slowed down his pace to appear calmer and walked slowly towards the grocery store with a few people around him.
There was a rocking recliner at the door of the grocery store. A middle-aged man who looked very rough, with half-open clothes and slippers was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed, basking in the warm sun while rocking the recliner. A laid-back look.
There is no doubt that this rough middle-aged man is the owner of this grocery store.
"The goods are sold according to the marked price, and we do not accept credit..." The rough man said while lying on the chair with his eyes closed. Facing the young master and several guests who arrived, he just opened his eyes slightly, glanced at a few people, and then He closed it again, and from beginning to end, he never got up from the recliner.
The young man didn't say anything, he just walked into the store and browsed casually.
The grocery store is not big, only about 70 to 80 square meters. There are all kinds of things in it, including various crystals, ordinary low-level potions, some adventure equipment, maps, etc.
The young master only pretended to browse through the miscellaneous items in the store, took three crystals worth fifteen or six gold coins, and then walked to a corner of the store and quietly looked at the things in the corner.
In that corner, there is a large rough iron cabinet over one meter high. There is some rust on the iron cabinet. There is also a sign hanging on top of the large iron cabinet. The sign reads - Buy ten gold coins. For those with the above goods, the boss can give you a lucky gold mine in the iron cabinet.
The so-called lucky gold mine, in the eyes of people who know a little bit about it, is simply a gimmick to fool fools, because the things in the iron cabinet seem to be glittering, but they are just some extremely cheap pyrite. If they are considered groceries, As for the store's promotional methods, such promotional methods are really clumsy.
Spending a huge amount of ten gold coins in the store, but in the end you can only get a piece of pyrite that can be bought for a dozen copper coins as a gift. People who are not stupid and ignorant will never be fooled like this.
Perhaps this is why this grocery store is so quiet.
But the young master's eyes were shining when he looked at those cheap pyrites, because just last year, one of his honest and honest cousins bought something in this store in Heiyan City and received a gift. He bought a piece of pyrite, but what his cousin didn't expect was that just a month ago, the pyrite that his cousin put in the study as a paperweight was broken into pieces due to an accident, and there was actually something in the pyrite. Roll out a Na bead.
That was Nazhu, the space equipment in the silver secret cache. Facing this big pie falling from the sky, his cousin was frightened.
This matter was originally a secret. After getting the Nazhu, his cousin kept it secret, keeping everyone in the dark. Until a few days ago, he and his cousin drank. After he got drunk, his cousin My brother couldn't help but whisper to him before he said it.
Hearing such news, the young master kept it a secret for his cousin, but at the same time he was filled with envy and couldn't help but want to visit this grocery store in Black Flame City.
This grocery store is average, the prices of some goods are a bit dark, and the store owner is a rough uncle, there is nothing special about it. It seems that the owner of this grocery store doesn't know that there are real treasures in those pyrites. If he If I knew that, I'm afraid I wouldn't put those pyrites there to give away anymore.
"Boss, our young master wants these three crystals. These are fifteen gold coins..." The young master winked, and the boy in green who followed him walked directly to the grocery store owner at the door and took out fifteen gold coins. The gold coin was handed to the boss.
It was only when he was doing business that the boss became a little more energetic. He climbed up from the recliner, smiled like a money man, put fifteen gold coins in his arms, and then pointed to the big one in the corner. Iron cabinet, "You gentlemen can choose a piece of the lucky gold there and take it away. Haha, if you don't want it, you can..."
"I think these pyrites are quite good. I don't know if you can sell these pyrites. I want to buy them and take them back to teach the children of the clan how to distinguish the difference between gold and pyrites, so as not to be deceived by others when I go out in the future. Come on!" The young master said calmly, waving his fan.
"Haha, if the young master wants it, of course he will sell those pyrites!"
"I wonder what the price is?"
The grocery store owner took a serious look at the young man, and suddenly smiled slyly, "If you want it, how much do those pyrites weigh? I can buy them with gold coins of the same weight!"
"What?" Before the young master could speak, the two bodyguards beside him were already furious, "This is just pyrite. How can it be sold at gold price? Why don't you grab it?"
The pyrite in that big iron cabinet weighs seven to eight hundred kilograms. If you really want to exchange it for gold, how many gold coins will you gain or lose? Even if the young master comes from a wealthy family, you can never spend the gold coins like this.
"How can robbing money be so safe and so fast?" The store owner rolled his eyes and said confidently, "Anyway, this is the price I'm offering, it's up to you whether you want to buy it or not!" After saying this, the store owner yawned. , he lay down on the lounge chair again, swaying leisurely while basking in the sun.
The young man kept staring at the vulgar and cunning grocery store owner. After thinking about it, he didn't know where he had exposed himself. Could it be that the excuse just made up was wrong, which allowed the grocery store owner to see some clues? Suddenly the lion opened his mouth, yes, that must be the case. These little people in the market have no other abilities, but their ability to observe people's emotions and hoard them is better than the other. With his own identity, he almost wanted to buy these yellow irons. The mine has already revealed its flaws.
Finally, after much thought, the young master gritted his teeth, finally took out a few gold tickets, spent a full 16,000 gold coins, bought all the pyrite in the big iron cabinet, and asked the two bodyguards around him to buy it. All the pyrite was packed away.
Of course, as for whether something could be found in the pyrite in the end, only the devil knows. Anyway, since then, the young master has never come to this grocery store again. After leaving, a large amount of pyrite was inexplicably found in the big iron cabinet in the grocery store.
The owner of the grocery store was still lying at the door of the grocery store, basking in the sun with his eyes closed, and he couldn't help but reveal a playful smile...
When the sun was about to set and the last ray of sunlight left the grocer's body, the grocer who had been lying on the recliner stretched, stood up, and prepared to close the door.
An ordinary black car stopped at the door of the grocery store. The door opened, and a fat man got out of the car. He looked around, laughed, rubbed his hands, and helped the owner of the grocery store to close the door.
After a while, another car stopped at the door of the grocery store. A tall black man and four middle-aged men got out of the front and rear rows of the car and quickly entered the grocery store.
After they entered the grocery store, a man in black walked out from the other side of the alley and drove away quickly.
After a while, the closed door of the grocery store was filled with the cheerful voices of old men shouting and shouting while drinking happily, seeming to be arguing about who was the most handsome in a certain photo...
"Baghdad, you are totally showing off your chest muscles. I admit that you are the strongest, but you are still not as handsome as me..."
"Wright, with your hair combed like that, you look like a pimp in a brothel..."
"Come on, Chauvin, with that smile that always looks like a baby chicken on your face, don't get involved in such adult discussions...
"As for these two people, for reasons that are obvious to everyone, we should not express any more opinions at this time..."
"And the one who gestured with scissor hands, you know, when I saw that look of yours, I felt embarrassed for you, and almost wanted the photo studio to have you technically processed. As soon as your scissor hands came out, we The level of the Airplane Brotherhood was immediately lowered by several levels. Have you seen any big shots who are better than Scissorhands when taking photos?"
"And the guy with black hair, I remember he hadn't been circumcised yet..."
It was an old photo in a frame. After a group of old men drank too much, it was taken down from the wall above the grocery store, placed on a table filled with food and wine, and passed around among everyone. , for a group of people to drink and comment at the same time.
The photo has turned a little yellow. In the photo, seven young animals are standing in a row. Baghdad, who is standing on the far left, holds his hands coolly and stretches out his well-developed chest muscles. Wright combed one of his hair with water to make it smooth and smooth. Looking a bit young and mature, Chauvin smiled shyly, Doug grinned widely, and hugged the fat guy Barry with one arm. Barry was a little frowning, but he was forcing a smile, and Sista made a silly scissor-hands pose. , the expression on Zhang Tie's face, standing on the far right, was slightly slumped and stiff.
Behind everyone is the gate of Black Flame City No. 7 Middle School, and the line of large characters on the school gate - Welcome to the Black Iron Age!
