Chapter 133: Entrance
Shops that sell maps and jade slips are generally shops with a variety of goods. After a cup of tea, Qin Fengming entered a shop with "Zhongbaozhai" written on it at the northern edge of Fangshi.
This shop is not big, with only one floor and more than ten feet in size. It is inconspicuous in the city with numerous palaces and palaces.
When you walk into the store, there is a long counter in the front. There is a room behind the counter with a door leading directly into it. To the east of the store, there is an Eight Immortals table with several chairs placed around it. There are teapots and bowls on the table. There are two Qi Qiu Qiu behind the counter.
The young monks on the third floor stood.
At this time, there were three male monks in the shop, two of them were sitting at the Eight Immortals table drinking tea. Judging from the faces of the two men, they looked somewhat similar and seemed to be brothers. There was also a monk standing in front of the counter, talking to the waiter about something.
These three monks are all between the eighth and ninth levels of the Qi Gathering Stage.
Seeing Qin Fengming walking into the store, a waiter immediately greeted with a smile: "Welcome to our store. I wonder if you may need our help when you come here. Our store sells various talismans, elixirs and magical instruments."
"I don't need any elixirs or magic weapons. I just want to find a detailed map of the 'Desolate Forest'. Does your store have one?" Qin Fengming looked around, with a look in his eyes, and went straight to the guy.
He spoke.
"Of course we have the jade slips of the desolate forest map. I wonder which part of the forest you need a map of? The desolate forest is really vast, so it is usually divided into several pieces. For example, if one piece is considered deep in the forest, this map is worth a lot of money.
The area near the depths is divided into two, and these two maps also cost a lot. The outer part of the forest is divided into four parts, divided into east, west, south, and north. These four maps have fewer spiritual stones than the center of the forest.
That area is a blind spot, and there is no map for the time being. Judging from your cultivation level, it is impossible for you to need a map there."
The guy was very talkative and explained eloquently.
After listening to what the man said, Qin Fengming said calmly: "Of course I don't need a map of the central area of the forest now, so just prepare a copy of all the existing maps for me."
Hearing what Qin Fengming said, the man was surprised. The person in front of him only had the sixth level of Qi Gathering Stage. He wanted all the maps, which were worth hundreds of spiritual stones. Normally, monks in the Qi Gathering Stage couldn't produce so many spirit stones. That's it.
There is little use in buying it. He looked at Qin Fengming and said, "Fellow Taoist, are you sure you want all the maps?"
At this time, the other three monks in the store turned their heads at the same time, looked at Qin Fengming, glanced at each other intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned their heads again. These actions were all clearly revealed under the gaze of Qin Fengming's consciousness.
"Of course, what's the problem? Don't you have the goods in stock here?" Qin Fengming's voice suddenly became louder, slightly displeased.
"No, I mean, these maps are worth a total of two hundred and seventy spiritual stones..." the guy explained.
Qin Fengming didn't wait for the waiter to finish speaking. He waved his hand and a pile of spiritual stones appeared on the counter. There were exactly 270 spiritual stones.
Seeing this, the clerk immediately stopped, said sorry repeatedly, and then turned around and returned to the room behind him. After a while, he walked out holding several jade slips. He said respectfully: "This is the map that fellow Taoist needs, please keep it."
He then handed the jade slip to Qin Fengming.
Qin Fengming did not open the jade slip to check. He waved his hand and the jade slip disappeared. Then he turned and left the 'Zhongbaozhai'. He did not stop in the market and walked straight towards the deserted forest.
But in his eyes at this moment, there was a hint of amusement that disappeared.
Just as Qin Fengming was about to leave Fangshi, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Fellow Taoist in front of you, please stay."
Hearing the call, Qin Fengming was startled, turned around slowly, and found three monks standing in front of him, who were the three customers in the 'Zhongbaozhai' just now.
Seeing the three of them, Qin Fengming looked calm and said with some respect, "I wonder if you three have asked me to stay here. What are your instructions?"
"Instructions are out of the question. We just want to know, are fellow Taoists going into the deserted forest?" one of the monks, a man in his thirties, asked.
"Yes, I am in urgent need of a kind of medicinal herb. I heard from others that this kind of medicinal herb exists in the deserted forest, so I wanted to go in and look for it." Qin Fengming said calmly, while looking at the three people in front of him.
The three of them were stunned when they heard this. If they need medicinal herbs, they can buy them in the market. They don't have to go into the forest. Is there something that can't be hidden? But then they thought about it. This person only has the sixth level of the Qi Gathering Stage.
What is there to hide? With the strength of the three of them, how could they not be afraid?
The thirty-year-old monk smiled slightly and said: "To be honest with you, the three of us often move around the outskirts of the forest and are very familiar with the terrain. As long as you pay thirty spiritual stones, we are willing to lead the way and save you."
If you search slowly, you can avoid many monsters. I wonder what your friendship is like?"
When Qin Fengming heard this, he felt funny in his heart. The three people in front of him must have regarded themselves as disciples of a cultivating immortal family. They had never seen anything about the world, and they showed their wealth and ignorance as soon as they came out.
Thinking of this, he said with a smile:
"If it is true as the three fellow Taoists said, I am getting what I want. Thirty spiritual stones, I can afford it. Although there are not many monsters outside the forest now, it is still a bit dangerous for me to enter alone. If it is not urgently needed,
Medicinal herbs, I don’t want to go into the desolate forest alone.”
"That's very good. Let me introduce you. My name is Zhang Feng. This is brother Wang Dong and Wang Lin. I wonder what I call my little brother?" Seeing Qin Fengming's agreement, the leading monk immediately spoke and introduced the three of them.
"Your Excellency, Qin Fengming, I need the three of you to take care of me after you enter the 'Desolate Forest'." Qin Fengming said, and then bowed to the three of them.
"It's easy to say, then we can help each other. There are many dangers in the 'Desolate Forest', and no one knows what kind of danger we will encounter. Then we may need little brother Qin to help." The monk named Wang Dong seemed to be very worried.
Good at talking and speaking with a smile.
Qin Fengming nodded and said nothing more.
Zhang Feng secretly thought to himself that within a radius of 50,000 miles of Zhuifeng Valley, he had never heard of a Xiuxian family named Qin there. This son must have come from somewhere else, so he felt even more relieved.
Looking at Qin Fengming, Zhang Feng said: "The three of us often go into the desolate forest together to capture low-level monsters to sell. Therefore, we know that there is a hidden valley on the edge of the forest. There are many spiritual grasses growing in the valley. Maybe
There are things Brother Qin needs inside, why don't we get there first?"
"Well, since the three of you know that this place exists, let's go there first. If we can't find the herbs that I need, it won't be too late to search elsewhere."
After listening to Zhang Feng's words, Qin Fengming's face was happy, but he was sneering in his heart. It seemed that these three people wanted to plot against themselves. They had even found a place. It seemed that they had done this kind of thing frequently.
Back in Zhongbaozhai, Qin Fengming discovered that the three of them had bad intentions, but he did not take the three of them into his eyes at all. He has always been a person who does not offend me, and I will not offend others. Since the three of them are unkind, there is no need to blame him for taking action.
Very spicy.
