Chapter 19 Lost
Huangfu Shen’s voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Song Jie felt his scalp numb instantly.
If I were a cat, my fur would probably have exploded.
He had put on a human skin mask, but he didn’t expect God Huangfu to still recognize him.
He turned to look at Li Caiwei and found that the other party didn’t show any doubts, and he couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that only he could hear Huangfu Shen’s greeting.
And the opponent’s movement of turning his head and blinking was also fleeting.
Even Li Caiwei beside her didn’t notice anything unusual, and presumably the other monks around her didn’t notice anything either.
Li Caiwei frowned as she watched two figures running past one after another, raising smoke and dust along the way.
“Let’s keep walking.”
“Um.”
Song Jie nodded.
In a place like this, neither of them wanted to talk.
Not long after, Song Jie came to a grocery store under the leadership of Li Caiwei.
When I walked into the grocery store, I saw an old man with wrinkles sitting behind the counter.
The old man was wearing a shabby cloth, with a few sparse white hair hanging on his head, and he was holding a cigarette rod in his hand.
He was sitting there puffing away leisurely.
Even if a guest comes in, he doesn’t pay attention.
Song Jie casually glanced at the grocery store.
I saw a pile of tattered things placed on the cabinet against the wall.
A broken bowl, an old rattle, a dirty rag doll with only one eye, a wooden sword with a missing corner, a horn with holes…
As far as the eye can see, there is not a complete product.
And both the cabinets and the sundries were all filled with dust and covered with white cobwebs.
If Li Caiwei hadn’t brought him here, Song Jie would never have imagined that such a shabby grocery store would actually sell secret books.
This was not the first time for Li Caiwei to come here, so she went straight to the point.
“Senior, we want to buy a secret book of body skills during the Qi refining period.”
The old man took another puff of cigarette, and after recollecting it for a while, he slowly exhaled and said in a hoarse voice: “One hundred and fifty spiritual stones, no bargaining, buy it if you want it, and throw it away if you don’t want it.”
Li Caiwei turned to look at Song Jie. After seeing the other party nodding, she said, “No problem.”
The old man raised his eyes and looked at the two of them, then stood up slowly.
“You guys come to the back with me.”
The two followed the old man to a room in the back hall of the grocery store.
“sit.”
The old man pointed to a round wooden table in the room, then found a chair and sat on it.
Song Jie and Li Caiwei looked at each other without saying anything polite, and found a chair to sit down respectively.
The old man raised his hand and turned it over, and three secret books appeared in his hand.
This old man has storage bags.
Song Jie came up with this idea subconsciously, but he didn’t show too much surprise.
After all, he is also a man who owns a storage bag.
Just a storage bag.
“Currently, I have three secret books on body techniques during the Qi refining period, namely, the Step in the Sky, the Step in the Wind, and the Step in the Lost Tracks.
“Airstep allows the caster to briefly walk in the air.
“Wind Step allows the caster to walk like the wind.
“The Lost Tracks can make the caster’s figure appear erratic and elusive.
“I wonder which movement method you are interested in?”
The old man introduced the information about the three magic secrets and unfolded them on the table.
Looking at the three magic secrets on the table, Song Jie fell into deep thought.
The spells and body techniques in the Qi refining period are basically the same, and there is no strict distinction between good and bad.
The key is to look at the matching.
If paired well, the effect of one plus one can be greater than two.
Combined with the Yiyang Finger and Dragon Claw Hand that he mastered.
Song Jie felt that Mizong Step might be more suitable for him, as it could complement Yiyang Finger and Dragon Claw Hand.
Without further hesitation, Song Jie raised his hand and pointed at Mizongbu.
“I chose Lost Tracking. I’m sorry for bothering you, senior.”
The old man drooped his eyes and opened his mouth: “According to the rules, you need to make an oath of heaven. You cannot take the initiative to hand over the secret book of this body technique to others, nor can you teach this body technique to others.”
Song Jie nodded. Li Caiwei had told him this rule before.
Without hesitation, he made an oath of heaven directly in front of the other party.
After completing the oath, the old man nodded slightly and pushed the Mizongbu towards Song Jie.
Song Jie also immediately took out a linen bag from his arms, which contained one hundred and fifty spiritual stones.
In this way, the two of them completed the transaction by handing over the spirit stone with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
Putting the Shenfa secret book in their arms, Song Jie and Li Caiwei left the grocery store.
“I wonder if Fellow Daoist Song has anything else he wants to buy?
“You can buy a lot of things on the black market that you can’t buy on the outside market.”
Hearing Li Caiwei’s words, Song Jie immediately shook his head.
“I have no other needs for the time being. Is there anything you want to buy, Fellow Daoist Li?”
Just kidding, I only have seven spiritual stones left, what can I afford? Moreover, now he just wants to go back quickly to avoid causing more trouble.
Li Caiwei thought about it seriously and shook her head: “In that case, let’s go back.”
“good.”
Song Jie nodded.
Then the two of them wandered around the black market for a while.
After confirming that no one was following them, they found a different passage from the one they came from and left the black market.
Along the way, the two of them were rushing as fast as they could.
Although you can buy many things on the black market that are not available outside, it also shows that this is a lawless place.
No one knows what kind of danger lurks under the calm lake.
Fortunately, there were no near misses along the way, and the two of them returned to Xinyuefang City safely.
After saying goodbye to each other at the entrance of Fangshi, Song Jie rushed back to the rented house in the dark night.
Closing the door behind his back, Song Jie felt like he was out of danger until now.
Although this small house was not big or sturdy, it still provided him with a sense of security.
He took out the body technique secret book that cost him one hundred and fifty spiritual stones from his arms.
“Mistake step.”
A smile appeared on Song Jie’s face.
The secret book of Shenfa that I have been thinking about for a long time is finally available.
Song Jie didn’t rush to open the cheat book and browse it immediately. Song Jie recalled that he was in the grocery store before.
When he made the oath of heaven in front of the old man, he didn’t seem to feel the gaze of heaven.
The oath of heaven has a very strong binding force on monks.
Therefore, some special transactions often require one or both parties to make an oath of heaven.
It is usually the stronger party who requires the weaker party to make an oath.
For example, this is the case with Song Jie’s transaction of Shenfa secrets.
The old man made it clear that if you believe it, I will buy it, if you don’t believe it, I won’t buy it, and if you like it, I will buy it or not.
If Song Jie’s strength was similar to that of the old man, he might be able to ask the other party to take an oath of heaven to prove that the secret book he was selling was true.
It’s a pity that Song Jie is only a rookie on the second level of the Qi refining stage and does not have such confidence.
Normally, when a monk swears to heaven, he will feel something.
But when Song Jie swore to Heaven before, he didn’t feel anything at all, just like when he spoke normally.
“Is it because my cultivation level is too low and I can’t catch that kind of feeling?”
