After returning home, he saw that Meng Sheng was reading a book. In addition to "Books of Alien Beasts", there were several ancient books on the table, and he didn't know what he was studying.
"Meng Lao, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I want to look for these loose bones you bought in the book."
Zhi Xuan said proudly, "You don't believe my nose?"
Meng Lao hurriedly said: "No, no, I want to save my brother Xu some strength. He is old, and it is very tiring for him to read ancient books. I might as well find it out and show him."
Jiang Chaoge flipped through one of the mottled and yellowed books. It didn't even have a cover. It looked like a table at home, but the content inside was somewhat interesting. He flipped through it casually, and it was about some myths and legends , What ancient beasts, ancient ancestors, gods, ghosts, Huangdi fighting Chiyou, Gonggong fighting Zhuanxu. The most peculiar thing about this world is that it has countless similarities and connections with his own world, but they are completely different, but from this myth and legend, their ancestors should be the same group of people. He couldn't help but doubt the reason and meaning of the existence of this world.
Meng Sheng said, "Have you studied these before?"
Jiang Chaoge shook his head, "No, I just heard a little."
"I haven't studied deeply, but I still remember something. This world and our world have exactly the same set of mythological systems. If we calculate according to time, ten thousand years ago, these two worlds were probably the same, but I don't know. They were separated for some reason, and since then they have embarked on two diametrically opposite evolutionary paths."
Jiang Chaoge frowned deeply. It wasn't that he didn't think about the connection between the two worlds and the reason why he traveled through this series of weird things. He just thought about it in vain, because he didn't have a clue, and now he heard such a statement. , he couldn't help but begin to believe in the theory of fate.
A world is divided into two, how? Why? Now that he and some "others" have crossed over, and the two worlds have overlapped again, what is it for? He had a feeling that fate was a long train that roared forward without stopping. Now the train had entered a tunnel, and the surroundings were pitch black. He was ignorant. When he got out of the tunnel, the truth appeared to him. In front of him, he didn't know if he could bear it.
Meng Sheng sighed: "When I first came here, I hoped to study these puzzles thoroughly. Later, when I found that I couldn't do anything, I gave up."
Jiang Chaoge didn't know how to comfort him. He also knew the feeling of powerlessness. He picked up the ancient book and wanted to divert the heavy topic, "This book is so old, it shouldn't record the bulk materials I bought. Bar?"
Meng Sheng shook his head, "This book records all the legends of the ancient times." He paused and glanced at Zhi Xuan, who was playing with bones, "Have you heard of the Twelve Ancient Beasts?"
Jiang Chaoge thought for a while, "I know some ancient beasts, but which twelve are they referring to?"
"It is recorded in the ancient books of Tianling Continent. The twelve most famous beasts in ancient times are four divine beasts: Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and four spirit beasts: Qilin, Bai Ze, Zhuyin, and Bi Fang; And the four evil beasts: gluttonous (tao tie), qiongqi, chaos, and taowu (tao wu)."
"I've heard of these." Jiang Chaoge felt that Meng Sheng was not studying his bulk materials at all, otherwise the span would be too big. He smiled and said, "Why are you suddenly interested in these?"
"Do you remember the legendary god-level soul weapon I told you about?"
Jiang Chaoge said in surprise: "It's these alien beasts..."
"That's right, the legendary twelve god-level soul weapons. Of course, no one can confirm the authenticity of these legends. For example, there is one thing that doesn't make sense. How did these strange beasts who can call the wind and call the rain die and how could they be killed? People make weapons."
Zhi Xuan paused for a moment while playing with his little hands, his fingernails turned blue and white due to the excessive force.
Jiang Chaoge shrugged, "It really doesn't make sense. However, in our world, they are just myths, and not many people believe in myths, but in this world, many exotic animals recorded in the Classics of Mountains and Seas have appeared, which proves that these ancient Most of the alien beasts have also existed, but our world has been separated, and they have only existed in this world."
Meng Sheng sighed again, "No, even in this world, their authenticity is still not formalized, and many people think that they are just a symbol of fabricated power."
"I am also more inclined to this statement. These alien beasts are so powerful that they can live for thousands of years at any time, and it is impossible for them to die collectively."
Meng Sheng nodded vigorously, not knowing whether he was in line with Jiang Chaoge or comforting himself, "You're right, this doesn't make sense. The god-level soul weapon was just fabricated based on the legend of alien beasts."
Jiang Chaoge joked: "If there is a god-level soul weapon, how much would it be worth? A gold mountain can't buy it."
Zhi Xuan gave a heavy snort, "Fool, you can't even use a yellow-level soul weapon, and you dare to think of a god-level."
Jiang Chaoge smiled: "Just think about it." He got up and stretched, "I'm going to practice, don't call me for dinner."
Jiang Chaoge's cultivation achievements during this period are not bad, and he can feel progress every day. It seems that Meng Sheng said that he is very talented. He could also summon a completed yellow-level soul weapon, which meant that he could summon Zhi Xuan by himself, but for a short period of time.
In addition to cultivating soul power, he also finds time to practice swords every day, and when he makes money, he has to find a martial artist to teach him. He didn't know if other people who got heaven-level soul weapons had to make some sacrifices in order to adapt to the new weapons. He thought that if someone was good at using bows, and the heaven-level soul weapon that matched them turned out to be hammers, it would be more painful than him. He felt more at ease.
Three days later, the largest morning market in Hu'an City began. This morning market was no different from the usual one, but soon people discovered something was wrong. The usual stalls selling ghost herbs were out of thin air. Disappeared, searched the whole street, but only found two pitiful two, the stock was still very small, and they were quickly sold out.
At first, people didn't take it to heart, but day by day, when they found that they couldn't buy the spirit grass after walking around the streets in Juan City, they realized that something was serious. The ghost grass is a necessary ingredient for the manufacture of Horcruxes. The entire city of Juan consumes a lot of it every day. Without ghost grass, it is necessary to spend a high price to buy alternative herbs. Some people can't afford it. Even if they can afford it, Horcrux The price has risen a lot at once, which is not conducive to the shot. In this way, Hu Ancheng has fallen into a crisis of shortage of ghost grass in silence.
Some people with flexible minds immediately organize people to go up the mountain to collect the ghost grass, but it must be dried for 49 days before it can be used. During this time, there is still nothing to do. Many people are asking, who bought so many ghost grass. .
Five days later, the demand for the ghost grass reached an unprecedented level. Some people have already gone to other cities to purchase, but whether it is by water or land, it is impossible to return to the nearest city within a few days.
At this moment, a new shop opened on the busiest morning market street in Hu'an City. The shop was obviously newly rented. It didn't do any repairs. There were only a few tables and only one thing sold - Mingling Grass!
Everyone in Hu'an City understands that this is a one-handed and wicked business that is played by caring people. Now the entire city of Hu'an can't find the ghost grass. This family is naturally a rare commodity. Faced with the price of a bundle of 30 copper coins, everyone hates it. , but had to buy it to solve the urgent need, otherwise the eagerness to enter the introduction will delay the production of the Horcrux, which is definitely a small loss.
Many people want to know who is behind the scenes, but that person never shows up. The shop has hired a few people, and they are all handed over to the poor boy who used to sell pearl flowers in the morning market. The money is like flowing water. Go in like a rush.
Jiang Chaoge not only bought the ready-made ghost grass, but also bought all the ones that were drying. He made money here, and continued to buy over there. After playing like this for half a month, he has earned five gold coins, not only early After redeeming his ring, he really built a wine cellar for Zhi Xuan, making the bear child drunk all day long and never having a chance to bother him again.
After a cycle of 49 days, Jiang Chaoge stopped purchasing, and only sold out the stock in his hand as soon as possible, because the batches that were picked and dried due to the shortage of the ghost grass were already about to mature. No longer alone in this family, the second is for fear of being jealous and causing trouble.
After staying in Hu'an City for less than three months, Jiang Chao Gechun earned thirteen gold coins, from being impoverished to being a little rich, and Meng Sheng and Sun An, who witnessed how he became bigger and bigger along the way, admired him unceasingly.
Zhi Xuan followed him to eat and drink spicy food all day long, and his temper became better, and he started calling him by name most of the time.
Jiang Chaoge gave Sun An a heavy gold coin.
Sun An was frightened, "Brother, you don't have to give me so much..."
Jiang Chaoge patted him on the shoulder, "You and I have worked hard this time. I have never treated my brother badly. You deserve it."
Sun An was moved to tears, knowing that one gold coin is enough for an ordinary person for a lifetime. Two months ago, he was a hapless man who couldn't even sell bead flowers. If he hadn't met Jiang Chaoge, how could he have today? , Jiang Chaoge is more than a nobleman, he is simply his god.
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "Take it, don't make it public. You have followed me and learned a lot during this time. If you want to be stable, this gold coin will be enough for you to spend your whole life, but if you still have a little ambition, just use your brain to do it. order something."
Sun An nodded hastily, "I don't want to sit and eat, I still have to do something. If I don't understand anything, please give me more guidance."
"no problem."
"What's your next plan, big brother?"
"I'm going to rest for a while." With the money, Jiang Chaoge planned to buy what he needed the most—soul medicine, and then retreated to practice.
"Big brother, as long as you need me, come to me at any time, Sun An will do his best!"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "I remembered it."
After Sun An left, Meng Sheng sighed, "You are so generous, you are a gold coin."
"This kid is not bad. Although he is not very smart, he is down-to-earth and diligent. If he wants to live in Hu'an City for a long time, there is still a place for him." Jiang Chaoge said: "As you said, soul medicine is so expensive, these 12 gold coins may It will run out soon."
"I'll buy you a soul medicine. A medium soul medicine costs one gold coin, and a high-end one is priceless. My opinion is, if you want to buy it, buy the best one you can afford, one gold coin for one No matter how much you eat, there may not be a really good effect."
"I think so too." Jiang Chaoge gave Meng Sheng all the gold coins.
After Meng Sheng left, Jiang Chaoge wanted to enter the house to practice, but Zhi Xuan stopped him, "How is your sword practice?"
Jiang Chaoge said, "Do you want to see it?" He hasn't hired a martial artist, but has been practicing the basics of chopping, slashing, picking, and stabbing. Although he doesn't know the swordsmanship, he knows that these four are definitely the beginning of the swordsmanship. , No matter how ever-changing the swordsmanship is, it is only derived from these four movements, and it is inseparable from it. After practicing these four basic movements, it will be easier to integrate into the advanced swordsmanship in the future.
"let me see."
Jiang Chaoge picked up the Zhi Xuan saber, held the hilt in both hands, squatted down on a horse stance, and held the blade at a fifty-degree angle to the ground. He let out a low voice, the knife rose and fell, and he slashed down with force. The sound of wind was accompanied by the sound of breaking the sky, which was quite mighty. One step forward, the blade rises up, the cold air overflows, and then one step forward, the blade stabs forward, like a broken bamboo.
These four movements are done in one go. Although they are the most basic movements, their speed, strength and confidence when they drop the knife are all remarkable. Sweat came out immediately.
Zhi Xuan frowned lightly, "It's barely a bit of a look, but your swordsmanship is not systematic."
"I will find someone to inquire about a good sword technique. It would be even better if I could go to a famous teacher."
"You're using my horn, so it's fine if your soul power is weak, if the swordsmanship is useless again..." Zhi Xuan snorted heavily.
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "So I'm not trying hard, little ancestor. But your horns are really heavy."
"Nonsense, I'm..." Zhi Xuan paused and gave Jiang Chaoge a blank look.
Jiang Chaoge said helplessly, "Aren't you going to tell us what you are?"
"When you are qualified, you will naturally know."
Jiang Chaoge still wanted to talk, but when he saw Meng Sheng who had just left, he came back in a hurry. He knew something must have happened when he saw Meng Sheng's expression.
Sure enough, Meng Sheng said solemnly: "Prince Shu has chased after Hu'an City, and is now investigating in the city."
Jiang Chaoge's face changed, he knew that he might not be able to stay here any longer.
