Crossing the Sword

Seeing that Ye Shisan didn't understand, Qingluan patiently continued to explain: "This is the Qiyang Mountain in the Queshan Mountain Range. It belongs to the territory of the Yan Emperor Shennong of the Shennong Kingdom, so what we said is right. But we have never heard of the Shennongjia you mentioned, so it is wrong. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yandi, and Shennong! So this time, I was swept to the origin of China's 5,000 years by that damn tornado!

a bolt from the blue!

Ye Shisan came back to his senses after a while, and turned his eyes to Huo Feng on the other side for help, and said in an excited voice: "Feng'er, Brother Qing Luan was joking with me just now, right?"

Huo Feng blinked her innocent eyes and said honestly, "No, what Brother Luan said is true."

Ye Shisan was completely desperate this time, and groaned helplessly: "Oh my God! Oh my God! Is this the retribution for killing someone? My Hua Tuo Dan...Meng De!..."

If it were an ordinary person, he might cheer, but Ye Shisan still had important things to do. Now he suddenly traveled through time. If it was the future world, he might be able to find a time machine to go back, but in this era where transportation basically relies on walking, communication basically relies on shouting, and law and order basically relies on dogs, he no longer has any hope.

After a long time, Ye Shisan finally regained consciousness with the comfort of the two. He shook his head and sighed, "Since I'm here, I'm here. Master has his own blessings, and I have tried my best." After a pause, he continued, "Then I'll hang out with you guys for now. Is there any bigger city nearby... Oh, it's a tribe." I wonder what his master would think if he heard him change "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings" to "Master has his own blessings".

Qingluan was frightened by Ye Shisan's abnormal reaction, and asked worriedly: "Are you really okay?" He was a naive man, but after eating the black tortoise meat, his attitude towards Ye Shisan had completely changed.

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "I am sure, absolutely and positively sure that I am fine."

Huo Feng on the side had no such concerns and began to introduce Ye Shisan: "Not far from the foot of the mountain is the town of Chuyang. Although it is not very big, it is not very small either. The town is named after this Chuyang Mountain and is also under the jurisdiction of Emperor Yan. However, we don't know the specific situation because we also passed by here while traveling around."

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "In that case, let's go to Zhuyang Town first. By the way, let's get some money from this era. It's a pity that I have more than 10 million yuan on me, and I'm afraid I can only use it to make fire in the future." He shook his head helplessly.

Qingluan asked: "What is RMB?"

"Uh..." Ye Shisan thought, there was no currency in primitive society, it was a barter society. After a brief thought, he continued to ask, "Is there anything in this world that can be exchanged for many things no matter where it is?"

"Yes!" Huo Feng answered quickly, "There are three types of currencies circulating in all countries here, gold coins, purple gold coins and fairy stone coins. Big brother, this black tortoise shell can be sold for about thirty purple gold coins, which is equivalent to three thousand gold coins. Below the gold coins, there are some copper coins and iron coins, but those are used by each country itself, and they are not useful after going abroad." Ye Shisan was stunned by her words. He never thought that the currency circulation system in primitive society was so perfect.

Ye Shisan thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to the Zhuyang Town you mentioned." He now realized that everything here was beyond his understanding.

******

The scale of the town of Chuyang is actually quite good, with most of the buildings made of brick and tile, and the management is very orderly, with all kinds of shops available. If it weren't for the various strange totems on the town's flag, Ye Shisan would really think that he had come to a dynasty among the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, rather than the ancient times. Everything here has nothing in common with the ancient times in his mind where people ate raw meat and drank blood.

Ye Shisan looked around curiously and asked the two casually, "If I want to sell this tortoise shell, where should I go? I now realize that I really know nothing about this world."

The happiest person now is Huo Feng, and she is also the most active one. Holding a handsome guy on each hand, she said with a grin, "Isn't there a strange shop in front? The black tortoise shell can definitely be sold for a good price there." Ye Shisan looked at the shop that Huo Feng mentioned and could only shake his head helplessly, because the characters of this era were all some garbled codes that could not be deciphered in his eyes.

Ye Shisan, who was determined to learn cultural knowledge again, was dragged into the strange item shop by Huo Feng.

Ye Shisan casually took out a black tortoise shell from the pendant, put it on the counter and asked, "I wonder how much this can be sold for?" Although he couldn't understand the language, Ye Shisan was still very fortunate, because at least the language was the same, otherwise he would have been really depressed.

The owner of the strange item shop took a closer look and said, "Such a complete black tortoise shell is really rare." After being delighted, he said, "Sir, although your black tortoise shell is very complete, it needs special processing to be refined into a Taoist talisman or a shield for warriors. How about I give you thirty purple gold coins?"

"Eighty purple gold coins, no less." Although Qingluan said that it could be sold for about 30 purple gold coins, but from the tone of the boss, it was obvious that there was a huge difference between being complete and being incomplete, so he dared to ask for a high price. Anyway, now was the stage of asking for an exorbitant price.

After a round of verbal sparring, Ye Shisan finally sold the black tortoise shell for 70 purple gold coins.

Qing Luan, who was standing by, had already been stunned by what she heard. As soon as she left the store, she said exaggeratedly, "Brother Thirteen, were you a businessman before? You raised the price of the black tortoise by more than double."

Ye Shisan shook his head and said, "No, this black tortoise shell is worth this price. I am not a businessman, but that boss must be a businessman. Will he do a business that costs money?

Qing Luan chuckled and said, "Brother Thirteen has made so much money, shouldn't you treat us to a big meal?"

Weighing the bag of purple gold coins in his hand, Ye Shisan said with a smile: "Okay, you lead the way, let's find a place to have a good meal and a place to stay." After a pause, he said: "But we can't live off our savings. Do you know where to make money quickly? At least it's more convenient than hunting black turtles."

"Of course there is!" Huo Feng rushed to answer: "It's a task agency, where you can receive or post tasks, but the agency will charge a 3% agency fee."
