Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 51 The Ding Family

  Inner city gate.

  The guard stretched out his big hand:

   "One hundred yuan."

   "Isn't it always fifty yuan?" Zhou Jia, who was about to take the money, was taken aback and stopped.

   "The money has increased." The guard shook his head:

   "There have been a lot of people entering the city recently. In order to avoid causing chaos in the inner city, the entry fee has been doubled. Do you still want to go in?"

   "Come in!" Zhou Jia sighed softly, endured the pain in his body, took out another fifty yuan, and entered the inner city.

  Compared to before, the flow of people in the inner city has increased significantly, and the number of patrol personnel has also increased, not to mention the peace of the past.

  When he came to the house, Situ Lei had already cleaned up neatly.

  The purple robe is meticulous, the python leather boots are not stained with dust, and even the messy hair has been carefully taken care of.

  The whole person looks much younger.

  Zhou Jia was taken aback for a moment, not because he was surprised by his outfit, but because he looked at his legs:

"Your leg…"

   "It's changed." Situ Lei chuckled when he heard the words, rolled up his left leg trousers to reveal the metal machinery underneath, and reached out to tap.

  'Dangdang' sounded.

   "The alloy legs cost me 500 origin stones. They are products from a mechanical world. In terms of hardness, they are even better than my original legs."

   "Unfortunately, not very flexible."

  Mechanical World?

   Zhou Jia nodded slowly.

  As the end of all worlds, it is normal for the Ruins Realm to appear in a mechanical world. I heard that there is a mechanical cannon inside Huojiabao, which is amazingly powerful.

   "Five hundred origin stones." He snorted lightly and said:

   "It seems that you have a lot of money."

   "This money is not only mine, but also Aaron and the three of them. It's a pity that it was cheaper for me in the end." Situ Lei shook his head, unwilling to talk more:

   "Don't you want to see Dingmen's legacy, let's go."

   "Yes." Zhou Jia should be:

   "What's going on over there?"

   "After the death of Dingmen, everything was left to the two sons. They discussed it and decided to sell the inheritance in exchange for the origin stone and then divide it equally." Situ Lei explained:

   "In recent years, the giant sword Dingmen has gone to the cloud burial forest many times with the Huo family's hunting team, and left behind many good things. This time, they will be sold together."

   "Anyone who knows the news will probably go there. If you want to buy something, you'd better prepare the origin stone. The price... will not be cheap."

   "Understood." Zhou Jia's expression froze.

  As long as he can get that giant sword, even if he sells iron, he is willing.

   "That's right." Situ Lei pondered for a while and asked:

   "Did something happen outside recently? Many people have entered the inner city in the past few days, and even caused riots at night."

   "Yes." Zhou Jia nodded:

   "The Barony was captured by monsters, and many people escaped. It's just started now, and there will be more and more people in the future."

   "Barony!" Situ Lei's expression turned ugly, obviously he knew this place:

   "So, after a while, the prices of weapons, precious medicines, and food will increase a lot, and they need to be prepared in advance."

  Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows slightly.

  He really didn't think about it.

   As expected of a person who has lived in this world for more than ten years, he is much more sensitive to danger than him. After all, he has not been here for a long time, and he has not fully adapted to this world.

   "The price of food has not increased yet." Zhou Jia squinted:

   "When I go back, I'll stock up some. It would be nice if I could stay in the inner city."

   Chaos has begun to appear in the outer city.

   "It's not that simple to enter the inner city." Situ Lei shook his head, half-heartedly said:

   "People from the outer city are not allowed to spend the night in the inner city. This is a rule. If someone takes in a resident from the outer city without permission, once they find out, their house will be confiscated and they will be driven out of the inner city, so no one will take this risk."

"Well…"

   "There is a way."

   "What way?" Zhou Jia's eyes lit up.

   "Stay in an inn." Situ Lei looked sideways:

   "Qingfengju is the Huo family's own business. Drunken guests can stay overnight, even people from outside the city will not rush, but the accommodation fee is not cheap."

   "Really?" Zhou Jia pondered.

  The so-called small misfortune to avoid the city, if the outside is really chaotic, temporarily staying in a restaurant in the inner city for a while is also a way.

   After all, money is not as important as life.

  ...

  Compared to Situ Lei's small courtyard, Ding's house is a big house.

  There are two courtyards, and there is a one-acre garden in the south, which is full of things for people to choose and bargain.

  In the yard, people come and go.

   "All the things here belong to the Ding family?" Looking at the stalls full of goods, Zhou Jia had a strange expression.

   "Probably not." Situ Lei shook his head:

   "Depending on the situation, after the news of Ding's family spread, some people also wanted to sell their own things, so they joined forces to sell them together."

   "Here!"

  He gestured towards the distance:

   "That is the second master of the Ding family, Ding Wenshan, although he is not very young, his cultivation level may be higher than yours."

  Zhou Jia followed the sound and saw a young man with a thin figure and sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who seemed to be full of wit and vigor.

  Higher than yourself, not to mention the sixth rank, it is the fifth rank.

  You are a fifth-rank at a young age, which is naturally rare in the outer city, but as long as you have a big family and a big business in the inner city, you can pile up treasures and medicines.

   "Second Lord."

  Situ Lei approached with a smile and cupped his hands:

   "Meet you again, don't come here without any problems!"

   "Brother Situ." Ding Wenshan also knew Situ Lei, and said with a smile:

   "Is there anything you like, and the price is easy to talk about."

   "Indeed." Situ Lei sighed softly:

   "Unfortunately, all the origin stones in my pocket are spent on this leg, and I don't even have to change my arm. This time I came here to open my eyes."

   As he spoke, he quoted Zhou Jia:

   "This is a friend of mine, surnamed Zhou. I heard that the second master opened the market here, so I came here to see and see."

   "Brother Zhou." Ding Wenshan quickly glanced at Zhou Jia with triangular eyes, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile:

   "Look at it casually. With my relationship with Brother Situ, the price is easy to negotiate."

  As the 'second generation' who hang out in the inner city, Ding Wenshan knows the prices of all kinds of things, among other things.

  Zhou Jia was covered from head to toe, only the shield could barely be seen, and there was almost nothing of value, so it was obviously not his target.

   "Second Master." Zhou Jia cupped his hands:

   "I'm very interested in the things of Senior Ding, I wonder if I can open my eyes?"

   "My father's stuff." Ding Wenshan frowned:

   "It will take two days for my father's belongings to be sold. When everyone is here, I will hold a small auction with my brother."

   "..." Zhou Jia was stunned.

   It’s no wonder that the things here are not rare. It turns out that after waiting for people to arrive, the auction will be able to drive up the price, and this family will do business.

   "Second Lord."

  He pondered for a while, and said:

   "I'm really sincere, can you take a look at the item first, the price is easy to negotiate."

   "Oh!" Ding Wenshan raised his eyebrows:

   "Those things are not cheap."

  The implication is naturally to question Zhou Jia's financial resources.

  Zhou Jia took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't be weak at this time, and said in a muffled voice, "Anything within two hundred origin stones can be discussed."

   "Two hundred source stones!" Ding Wenshan moved.

  Even Situ Lei was surprised, but he knew that Zhou Jia had almost spent all of the original 100 Origin Stones.

   These two hundred source stones...

   Where did it come from?

  Zhou Jia winked at him, and whispered:

   "Look, you may not really buy it."

Ah!

  Situ Lei understood that this was pretending to be a wolf with a big tail. In his opinion, Zhou Jia definitely didn't have two hundred Origin Stones on him, and even twenty would be enough.

   "It turns out that Brother Zhou is a high-roller!" Ding Wenshan didn't know the truth, so he laughed loudly:

   "Come on, I'll take the two of you to the inner courtyard."
