Perhaps at that moment, Xing Wu's heart was calling for a miracle to happen.
But in fact, in the eyes of the short shopkeeper, Jianchou's existence is a miracle in itself. How could there be any other chance
His eyes seemed to still be reflecting the mountains of gold and silver he had just seen, and his memory had not yet been completely pulled out of all the previous events.
Following Jianchou, he walked down the stairs, one step deep and one step shallow.
Xing Wu was standing closest to him, and a little behind him was Chen Tingyan, who was also concerned about the situation.
Obviously, no one understood what was going on. Everyone looked at Jianchou and the short shopkeeper with extremely strange eyes, trying to get a glimpse of some clues from their expressions.
Unfortunately, even a knowledgeable person like the short shopkeeper had to kneel down in front of that pile of “junk”. How could the customers in the store now possibly think of this
"Boss, what's the result?"
It took almost all of his strength to make his expression look a little calmer.
But Xing Wu's heart was already filled with turmoil, and he couldn't wait to know the result.
The short shopkeeper knew what he had to do at this time, and he also remembered the agreement he had made with Jianchou.
To Xing Wu in front of me...
He slowly came back to his senses, still in a dream state, and said slowly: "I am really sorry, Master Xing, this black sword is no longer for sale in our store. I have given it to Miss Jianchou."
"What?!"
Xing Wu almost suspected that he had heard it wrong. He had even made up his mind that Jianchou would buy the sword at a high price, but he kept guessing in his mind what price Jianchou would offer.
Even though he knew his hope was slim, he still wanted to give it a try.
But who would have thought that the short shopkeeper would now say that he would not sell the sword and would even give it directly to Jianchou? !
Is Pinzilou crazy
Is the short shopkeeper crazy too
He opened a shop and started a business, not to mention offending Xing Wu and Chen Tingyan, he even didn't want Xuan Yu
Deliver directly!
Totally incomprehensible!
Not to mention Xing Wu who was closely related to this, even Chen Tingyan and everyone else behind him showed shocked expressions at this moment, completely unable to understand what on earth was going on.
"You must be joking..."
"Is Pinzilou so generous?"
"My Lord, where does this female cultivator come from?"
"Yes, this is the Pinzi Building..."
"Could it be that Xing Wu hit a wall?"
"Of course it is!"
…
There was a lot of discussion and people were a little excited, but because Chou was present, they had to suppress their excitement.
It felt like people thought Jianchou would deal a severe blow to Xing Wu, but they didn't expect that Jianchou's appearance would give him a devastating blow!
It’s amazing!
Pinzilou has said it won’t be sold anymore, what can Xing Wu do
"Master Xing..."
Perhaps because Xing Wu didn't look well, the short shopkeeper couldn't help but speak.
It's not that he doesn't want to do business with Xing Wu, but when it comes to interests, he simply can't abandon such a big money sponsor like Jianchou!
"In fact, tens of thousands of Xuanyu are enough to buy a better grade magic weapon. This black sword is not very impressive, and it is really not worth spending so much effort on it."
"Now that Miss Jianchou is a distinguished guest of my Pinzi Tower, I still hope that the two of you can get along well..."
"Be friendly?!"
Xing Wu's white clothes could not suppress the dark energy that was surging like a dark cloud on his face.
He listened to the seemingly comforting words of the short shopkeeper, and the anger that went from hope to disappointment and finally to despair had completely invaded his sanity.
However, the crazier it is, the calmer it looks.
Even at this juncture, Xing Wu sneered, "You ruined my good deeds, and you still want to be friendly? When did you become so biased in doing things at Pinzilou? You don't want to sell this sword, but openly give it away. Shopkeeper, are you really determined?!"
"Mr. Xing, this is wrong."
Jianchou heard his words which contained a hidden threat and laughed without much concern.
"In fact, the Black Sword is dispensable to me. I don't like to argue with others, and I never make enemies with others. But the truth that should be said must be made clear."
Xing Wu's words were implicit threats, but Jian Chou's were well-reasoned.
"In Pinzilou, the highest bidder wins. There's nothing wrong with that. Seeing how much Mr. Xing values this black sword, it must be very useful. If you had spoken kindly and persuaded him with reason when you first arrived, Jianchou might not be someone who couldn't let go of his love, and he might have given you his things. Even if it was just for the black jade in your pocket, I wouldn't have fought with you."
Jianchou was just a poor ghost. The day before, he sat on the street with the big-headed ghost and the small-headed ghost for a whole night, but he couldn't even find a place to stay.
If this sword is cheap, it doesn't matter if I buy it.
But if Xing Wu were to join the fight, Jianchou would definitely not want to create any more trouble.
But in this world, some things can be reversed, but some cannot.
She stood in front of Xing Wu, holding a black sword. There was no trace of sarcasm on her face, only gentle calmness, and her demeanor was outstanding.
"As for Pinzilou, the shopkeeper has his own reasons for doing business. It is up to him to open and close the shop. What right does Mr. Xing have to control whether it sells or gives away gifts?"
The onlookers couldn't help but nod secretly after hearing this.
Although I don't know the origin of this girl in front of me, her words are absolutely correct.
If it weren't for Xing Wu's arrogant word "qualification", how could this situation have happened
only…
Why do I always feel a little weird
After everyone thought about it carefully, they realized the problem: Since when did such reasonable people appear in the Jiyu
The Extreme Realm, after all, is just a part of the cultivation world.
Strength is respected, and the strong prey on the weak.
In the past, if a Jade Nirvana monk casually said, "You are not qualified," how could a monk with a humble cultivation level dare to resist
Everyone has become accustomed to the contempt and bossiness of the superiors towards the inferiors, but this female cultivator before them, after being slapped in the face, actually talked to Xing Wu about reason...
Only Chen Tingyan, who was standing next to him, felt a sense of long-lost familiarity.
He is eloquent but never aggressive. Even when he is saying something that he disagrees with you, he always looks warm and welcoming.
In fact, there are only two meanings to these words:
One is "I'm just trying to prove myself", and the other is "It's none of your business."
Thinking carefully, Chen Tingyan couldn't help but press his curved lips with his fan, and his eyes looking at Jianchou became brighter and brighter.
As the one being "taught a lesson", Xing Wu was now furious and ashamed.
These words made him even more angry than the short shopkeeper's announcement that he would not sell the sword!
"In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak. At first, I scolded you only because your cultivation was insignificant. Now you can scold me only because you have your own methods. What is the difference between you and me?"
Xing Wu laughed grimly.
“Only the strong are qualified to reason with others. This time, I, Xing Wu, was not good enough. You are just... The Extreme Domain is vast, and there is a long way to go. Let’s wait and see!”
After saying that, he looked at Jianchou fiercely, as if he wanted to remember what she looked like, and then he turned away.
The people watching outside had low cultivation levels, so how could they dare to stop a cultivator who had already entered Nirvana
So, as soon as Xing Wu turned around, they immediately made way and let him pass.
Jianchou stood there, raised his eyebrows slightly, and faced everyone's worried eyes with just a smile.
She muttered in her heart: The polar region is vast, you have a long future ahead of you, but I have to leave... God knows if I will be there when you can kill me, right
…
The excitement was over. Seeing that Chou was not an ordinary person, everyone did not dare to come up and talk to him. They could only point and whisper to each other, and left soon.
"You can't judge a person by his appearance... No, the real person never shows his true colors!"
When Chen Tingyan saw the man leave, he immediately came over and bowed to Jianchou.
Jianchou turned around to look at him and said calmly, "Mr. Chen Si, you are too kind, but it is all the care of the shopkeeper."
"Don't dare!"
When the short shopkeeper heard this, he was frightened and waved his hands quickly.
How dare he confront Jianchou now
Whenever he thought about the pile of gold and silver, two-thirds of which were in Jianchou's hands, the short shopkeeper felt excited. With these materials, there was no need to worry that Pinzilou would leave all its peers behind in the future!
"It's all thanks to you, Miss Jianchou. I don't have any credit. However, Xing Wu is from the Wuchang clan among the ten major ghost clans, and he will participate in the cauldron contest in the future. I'm afraid the Wuchang clan has high hopes for him. Although the Wrongful Death City stipulates that killing people is not allowed, you are not absolutely safe. I'm afraid you have to be more careful to prevent him from seeking revenge in the future..."
When he said this, the short shopkeeper suddenly paused, slapped himself in the face, and apologized to Jianchou with a smile: "Look how confused I am. How could you, Miss Jianchou, need to worry? Hahaha..."
Chen Tingyan's eyes suddenly became strange.
Jianchou was secretly twitching, and suddenly remembered the situation upstairs before. He felt ashamed to look back, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for your advice, shopkeeper. I will stay in the City of the Dead in the near future and will not leave. I will let you know when I have arranged a place to stay."
“That’s great!”
The short shopkeeper's chubby white face suddenly turned rosy, and he looked as happy as if he had picked up money for free.
"Today's situation is of great importance. I will contact you immediately after I inform the master. If you want to buy anything in the future, please come directly to Pinzi Building. I will guarantee you the cheapest price."
"I dare not refuse the shopkeeper's kindness. Thank you very much." Jianchou did not expect to make such a good relationship this time, so he bowed and said, "Then Jianchou will take his leave first."
"Take care."
When the short shopkeeper saw Jianchou taking a step, he immediately followed him and walked him all the way to the door.
Chen Tingyan did not hesitate and turned around and walked with Jianchou to catch up.
The short shopkeeper stood outside the door, his short figure like an old ginseng, his eyes following the gradually receding figure of Jianchou, a drunken look in his eyes.
In fact, this time, what Jianchou showed was really scary.
Such a huge pile of things, even a behemoth like Pinzi Building could not eat it all in one bite.
After weighing the price, the short shopkeeper and the group of little ghosts who were appraising treasures all trembled.
Because he had a lot of decision-making power over Pinzi Building, the short shopkeeper immediately chose to buy a lot of things from Jianchou in order not to miss this great opportunity, which accounted for one third of the pile.
As for the remaining two thirds, he would have to wait until he returned to report to his master and explained the situation before a decision could be made.
Everything he said when he said goodbye to Jianchou was because of this.
The reason why they gave the black sword to Jianchou was, firstly, because they did not want to give Xing Wu a chance, and secondly, it was a favor that they, Pinzilou, did for Jianchou.
Of course, Jianchou also asked Pinzilou to keep all the details confidential, and the short shopkeeper agreed immediately.
In fact, from beginning to end, the knowledgeable short shopkeeper was unable to distinguish Jianchou's identity.
He has an absurdly low level of cultivation, but he has the most calm and unique way of dealing with things. It has been many years since the short shopkeeper has seen such a weirdo who would try to reason with others after slapping them in the face.
"Hey… "
The back figure was no longer visible. The short shopkeeper reached out and touched his chin, still thinking about the question.
"Whose second-generation rich kid is this? What big shot is this..."
No, you can’t guess it just by imagining it yourself.
The short shopkeeper slapped his head, suddenly thought of something, and stamped his feet: "I am so stupid, wouldn't it be better if I asked the master?"
Whether to continue to buy the remaining two-thirds, how much to buy, when to transfer the Xuanyu over... This series of questions also need the master to decide.
The short shopkeeper hurriedly re-entered the Pinzi Building, and went up from the first floor to the second floor, from the second floor to the third floor, and finally entered a small room in the corner of the third floor. He reached out and pressed, and a huge tortoise shell totem rotated on the door.
“Crack.”
The door opened.
There were no tables, chairs, or lamps in the entire room. There was only a round stone platform with a scarlet bead placed in the middle.
After the short shopkeeper walked in, the door behind him closed automatically.
He came to the stone platform, formed seals with his hands, and made a row of hand seals. The red beads immediately lit up.
It was as if waves suddenly appeared on the flat ground, and the entire stone platform turned into a stream of flowing water, with ripples that looked very beautiful.
A blurry figure appeared in the flowing water.
"Bai Shen, what's the matter?"
The short shopkeeper bowed and said, "Master, today Shanhai City came to Wangsi City, and a distinguished guest came to Pinzi Building and brought a lot of things..."
The short shopkeeper recounted in detail the previous encounter with Jianchou and the pile of junk that Jianchou brought with him.
For a business that buys and sells treasures, it can only grow bigger if it keeps having more and better things.
The significance of Jianchou's appearance is not insignificant to them.
Sure enough, the blurry figure was silent for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and said, "It's interesting. Wrongly Dead City is also approaching the Dingzheng today, and all kinds of strange people are showing up. It's not surprising that a few of them have backgrounds. We will definitely take all the things, and I will send someone to contact you later. But..."
There was a pause, obviously some doubt.
The short shopkeeper always knew his boss's intentions, and boldly continued, "Are you also doubting this woman's identity?"
"Female cultivator, with outstanding style and extraordinary moves..." She seemed to be lost in thought, but then she had a guess, "Not long ago, Jiang Chang sent her capable general 'Sha Hanzhi' to Ghost Gate, but Guifu Tianming has fallen into Cui Jue's hands, and 'Sha Hanzhi' should have returned..."
"The City King?"
The short shopkeeper was really surprised.
Jiang Qian, the City King, is the only female Lord of Hell in Bafang City and the only Lord of Hell who has not participated in the war between the Yin and Yang worlds.
Her true form is a ghost. She was an ordinary woman on an isolated island in her lifetime. She was kind-hearted. Later, she was dragged into the river by a water ghost to die in its place. She became a "river ghost", but she never harmed anyone.
And so it goes, year after year, day after day.
No one knew if it was God’s mercy, or the Buddhist saying of “merit,” but Jiang Chang actually went upstream and went straight into the Ghost Gate. When he first entered the Extreme Realm, he caused changes in heaven and earth, and was crowned a king overnight!
In the past, before the war between Yin and Yang worlds broke out, Bafang City did not exist.
The other seven Kings of Hell all made outstanding contributions in the war between the Yin and Yang realms, and were therefore given the title of "King of Hell". Only this city king has been the King of Hell since he entered the Extreme Realm.
No one knows what Jiang Chan’s real name is. Because her true form is a ghost, everyone calls her “Jiang Chan”.
She is polite and well-mannered, but also kind-hearted. Her methods are tough but never cruel. She can be said to be the most unique among the eight Yama Kings.
And her subordinates naturally inherited her style.
Now that the master mentioned "killing Hanzhi", the short shopkeeper naturally thought of the group of people under the urban king Jiangchang.
He couldn't help but frown: "If it was Sha Hanzhi, why did he appear here, and..."
"Not necessarily. But if she is, then it would be interesting..."
The person with the indistinct voice seemed to be somewhat happy.
"You mean, maybe her cultivation was damaged?" The short shopkeeper continued to think, "But 'Sha Hanzhi' is also at the peak of the golden body, half a step into the Dao, who can make her... Huh?"
Halfway through his thought, the short shopkeeper suddenly had an idea in his mind and was immediately dumbfounded.
"Could it be Cui Jue and the others?"
"Whether it is true or not, there will be a result sooner or later. But it is quite interesting to see these people fighting overtly and covertly for an axe..."
The sound gradually faded away and could no longer be heard.
The short shopkeeper was still standing there, thinking slowly, and finally he felt excited, "I finally know the truth"...
…
Shanhai Mayor Street.
Jianchou didn't know that the short shopkeeper was scratching his head for his identity. He just turned around and looked at Chen Tingyan who was following him like a sticky candy, and sighed: "How long are you going to follow me?"
"Well, well... meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a great joy!"
Chen Tingyan didn't blush at all.
"Why don't we find a place? I see you're not very familiar with this place, so I can show you around. Now I'm considered a local boss here. Whether it's the registry office, Shanhai City, the Eighteenth Floor, or even Dingzheng! As long as you want to know, I can definitely tell you everything!"
I heard this word again.
Jianchou frowned: "It's Ding Zheng again..."
