An hour later, the cow swam ashore. Standing outside the carriage, Du Heng discovered the difference between the two sides of the Weak Water. If Dongji Mountain is like a natural moat that separates the territories of human cultivators and demon cultivators, then the Weak Water is another symbol. To the west of the Weak Water, there are dense mountains, and to the east of the Weak Water, there are vast plains, and even the mountains that appear are low.
After the ox came ashore, it shook off the water on its body, and its flexible fins turned into solid hooves. Its hooves stepped into the deep snow, and it was not until now that Du Heng remembered something: "When we were walking in the mountains and forests before, there was such heavy snow, but the ox cart was able to move on the snow. Is there some kind of mechanism?"
Xuan Yu corrected, "It's not a mechanism, it's a formation. There are formations on the carriage and the wheels. Even if there is a quagmire ahead, it can move smoothly." Du Heng was amazed: "Wow~ So that's how it is~ I've learned a lot." When Du Heng inherited the original owner's memory, he was already shocked enough. Now that he has arrived to the east of Dongji Mountain, he realizes that the world the original owner lived in and the world he is in now are two completely different places.
Xuan Yu looked at the sky and said, "At this speed, we will be home by this evening." Du Heng then asked, "By the way, what is the name of our village?" He has been talking about "village" these days, but he doesn't know what the name of the village is.
Xuan Yu said, "A tree." Du Heng was stunned: "What?"
Xuan Yu said, "The name of the village is a tree." Du Heng thought about it. There was a place called Wukesong where he studied. Du Heng used his intelligence to guess, "Is there a big tree near your village?"
Xuan Yu said, "It's at the entrance of the village, it's very big." Du Heng raised his eyebrows and saw that it was indeed the case. After accepting this name, he felt that the name of this village was unexpectedly cute.
In the afternoon, Du Heng and his companions finally arrived at the legendary town. Outside the town stood a huge stone with three eye-catching characters engraved on it - Lingxi Town. The three characters were so eye-catching that Du Heng couldn't help but look at them a few more times, but he felt a stinging pain in his eyes after just a while. Xuan Yu covered Du Heng's eyes with his hands: "There are restrictions left by a big monster on these three characters. Anyone who enters without permission will be hurt by the restrictions. Your cultivation is not enough, so try to avoid such stones in the future."
Du Heng's eyes were blurry when a pair of warm hands suddenly appeared in front of him. He subconsciously shook them and heard Xuan Yu's explanation. Du Heng quickly put down his hands: "I know, thank you." The demon world is the same as the cultivation world. There are some things that cannot be looked at carelessly. In the end, it was Du Heng who was careless. With some experience of the original owner, he still fell into the trap.
Xuan Yu let go of his hand after a while, and Du Heng felt his eyes cool and comfortable. Needless to say, Xuan Yu must have used his spiritual energy to help Du Heng adjust his eyes. Du Heng sincerely said to Xuan Yu, "Thank you."
The ox cart entered the town, and Du Heng was surprised to find that the town was actually very large and lively. Of course, it was not as big as some of the super cities he knew, but in the original owner's memory, this size could be considered a city.
From time to time, some demon cultivators walked by the roadside. Some looked like ordinary people, some were covered with scales or feathers, and some were just like Xiaoxiao, showing their original form. Du Heng saw a man with a snake's tail floating past the car. He looked at him a few more times, and the man twisted his waist and gave him a wink.
Everything in front of him was very interesting. Du Heng was dazzled while sitting on the ox cart. Xuan Yu directed the ox cart to move forward. He said, "You said before that you wanted to buy daily necessities. I thought that Brother Lianhua's shop should have what you want."
Lotus? Du Heng's eyes lit up: "The one called Lotus, is he a lotus in human form?" God knows how much he wants to see what a person in human form looks like. He must be full of the fragrance of plants, right? And the lotus grows out of mud without getting stained. It is said that the Green Emperor in ancient times was a green lotus in human form.
Xuan Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's not a lotus in human form. You'll know when you see it." Du Heng was still very excited. A man named after a lotus must be very elegant. And Xuan Yu said that their shop has everything. He will definitely buy everything he wants at once!
The oxcart turned right at the end of the long street and soon stopped in front of a shop. On the plaque in front of the shop were five words: Zhou's Grocery Store. Although the shop was large, there were not many customers inside. It might be related to the location of the street. This street is not a main street and there are not many people walking on the street. Another possibility is that it is related to the waiter standing at the door who is as tall as a small mountain.
This was the most burly man Du Heng had ever seen. He was shirtless, revealing lumps of muscle. It was freezing cold outside, but his skin was still steaming! He had a square appearance and was three meters tall. Xuan Yu was half a head taller than Du Heng, but he only reached the man's chest.
Du Heng's eyes never left the man, but the man noticed Du Heng and the others. He smiled at the ox cart and said, "Isn't this Mr. Xuan?! How come Mr. Xuan has time to come to town today!" Xuan Yu pointed at Du Heng beside him and said, "You brought your friends to buy things. Where's your brother?"
The waiter yelled into the store: "Brother! Mr. Xuan is here!" Du Heng looked at the store, and he began to understand why this storefront was bigger than others, because if it was smaller, the owner couldn't squeeze out. The owner, who was the same style as the waiter, walked out, and Du Heng only saw two huge pectoral muscles coming towards him.
Xuan Yu introduced the man who just walked out to Du Heng: "This is Zhou Lianhua, the owner of the grocery store." Then he pointed to the waiter who just greeted Xuan Yu: "This is his brother Zhou Xiyue. If you need anything, just ask them."
Poor Du Heng was almost petrified standing next to the ox cart. Lian Hua? Xi Yue? Xuan Yu, are you serious?
Zhou Lianhua walked up to Du Heng, and Du Heng could feel a heat coming towards him. In the ice and snow, the two brothers were like walking furnaces, and their strong muscles looked powerful. Du Heng secretly looked at Zhou Lianhua's sandbag-sized fist. If such a big fist landed on him, he would probably lie flat without even struggling, right?
When Du Heng looked at the Zhou brothers, the Zhou brothers also looked at Du Heng. Zhou Lianhua smiled and showed her white teeth: "The guest brought by Mr. Xuan is extraordinary. What is his name?" Du Heng trembled and bowed: "I am Du Heng, please take care of me."
Zhou Xiyue smiled cheerfully: "As expected of a guest brought by Mr. Xuan, you are as humble as Mr. Xuan." Du Heng grinned awkwardly: "Boss Zhou, hello, hello."
The two Zhou brothers enthusiastically guided Du Heng to the shop: "Come in and see if there is anything you want." Du Heng turned his head to look at Xuan Yu, who stood beside the ox cart and nodded at him: "Go." Xiao Xiao squatted on the cart frame and looked at Du Heng's back. Xuan Yu whispered to Xiao Xiao: "You go too, I won't tell Feng Gui."
Xiaoxiao jumped off the bicycle with a chirp and chased after Du Heng: "Chirp!" Du Heng bent down and hugged Xiaoxiao: "Let's go shopping." Zhou Lianhua smiled and said: "Xiaoxiao doesn't usually come to our store. This is his first time. Right, Xiaoxiao."
The shop looked big from the outside, but there were even more things inside. At a glance, there was no end in sight, and all kinds of goods were piled up everywhere. There were spiritual plants placed on rows of shelves, spiritual rice in sacks, and bundles of various large and small utensils. The whole shop was filled with the fragrance of herbs, and people walking in the aisles picked and chose at will. It was a pleasure to walk into such a shop on a quiet afternoon.
Du Heng saw the condiments he wanted at a glance, but the classification of these condiments was a bit strange. Seeing Du Heng looking at the peppercorns, Zhou Xiyue introduced them with a smile: "This is the seed of the elm tree used for alchemy. Putting it in your mouth can relieve toothache. Would you like some?"
Du Heng picked up a peppercorn and chewed it. Suddenly, a numbing sensation spread from his mouth. Yes, this is peppercorn. It seems that it has another name here. Du Heng said, "Pack some for me."
Xiaoxiao saw Du Heng chewing the peppercorns, so he secretly stretched out his head and took a bite. After a while, Du Heng heard the sound of sneezing in his arms, and when he looked down, Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of tears, and she was breathing out with her mouth open.
In addition to peppercorns, Du Heng also saw condiments such as vinegar, sugar, and wine, but in the shop, these were used when refining pills and tools. People who practice Taoism do not care about food and drink, and the spiritual rice here is mostly used to make medicinal wine. Du Heng walked around and found a lot of things. He found that the products here were no less than those in his time, and there were many products he had never seen before.
Following the principle of buying something that he didn't have in his storage bag, Du Heng bought spiritual rice, beans, various seasonings, exquisite plates and jars. He filled his storage bag with all kinds of things. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh that the world of cultivation was still convenient. No matter how heavy the things were, they could be lifted up easily after being put into the storage bag. If it were in the past, he couldn't lift them at all.
When it was time to pay the bill, Du Heng was dumbfounded: "How much?" Zhou Lianhua looked at the storage bag in front of Du Heng, and he calculated: "A total of 13,830 spirit stones, you only need to give me 13,800, and I will take away the change."
Du Heng looked at the things in the storage bag. He didn't buy anything big, so how come it cost tens of thousands? He heard his own voice asking, "Can I ask, did I buy anything expensive?" Or is it that the prices in the cultivation world are like this? This shouldn't be the case. When the original owner traveled, one spirit stone could buy more than a dozen bags of spirit rice, but Du Heng only carried two sacks.
This shouldn't be the case. Could it be that some rare fruit that he didn't know about was mixed in? Du Heng looked at the soybeans and wheat he bought. Are these things expensive? Or did he take the plate forged by the master?
Zhou Lianhua said: "Everything else is fine, the main thing is that you just took the spiritual wine from our store." Du Heng was confused. When did he take the spiritual wine?
Zhou Xiyue took out a jar of white wine from the storage bag, and Du Heng suddenly realized that this was spiritual wine? No matter how he looked at it, it looked like white wine for cooking. He should have said it earlier. He thought the wine jar was pretty good-looking at the time, and there was a red bellyband tied on it. In the future, this jar could always be used to store wine. The wine jar was only the size of a fist, and Du Heng put it in as a gift. It turned out that this thing was expensive?
Zhou Lianhua said, "This is the spirit wine brewed by our great demon cultivator. It can be drunk and used as medicine. One jar costs 13,500 spirit stones. The supply is in short supply. You have a good eye. If you come too late, it will have been bought by someone else." Du Heng silently pushed the bottle of wine in front of Zhou Lianhua: "Then don't take this bottle."
Xuan Yu reached out from the side, holding a storage bag: "I want this bottle of wine." Du Heng turned his head to look at Xuan Yu, and the three words "prodigal" appeared in his eyes: "13,500 for such a small bottle, can you become an immortal after drinking it?" Xuan Yu said: "Drinking this in winter is good for your health, buy it."
Du Heng silently hugged Xiaoxiao and said, "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say, anyway, you are the one who pays." Du Heng made a decision in his heart, anyway, don't even think about him paying the 13,500 yuan, he won't pay a single spiritual stone. This prodigal son!
