The other side of time

(four)

After waking up, Xie Yi really couldn't remember what he did, and the memory stopped abruptly after Chu Qi answered "I'm the same as you".

And after returning to the room last night, the difference in his sleeping appearance has gone up to a higher level. He hugged the bedding sheets and Chu Qi, in short, everything he could grab around him tightly, making Chu Qi wonder if he was being raped. Something like mirage spirit or octopus spirit is possessed.After finally breaking free from his restraint, and planning to lie on the chair for the night, when he closed his eyes, he heard a plop.

Xie Yi even rolled out of the bed with the quilt, and turned over while snoring, changing various positions and rolling towards him.

Chu Qi rubbed the bulging veins on his forehead, had no choice but to hug Xie Yi back to the bed, and lay down next to him with a feeling of nothing more than death.

How annoying, how did he not realize that he was such an annoying person when he was young.

Fortunately, Xie Yi didn't roll the quilt anymore, An An held Chu Qi in his arms and slept until dawn.

When Xie Yi woke up the next day, he found that he was sleeping on his stomach, with the expressionless Chu Qi under his body, and all his drowsiness suddenly disappeared: "Sorry! I didn't mean it! I was a little hot after drinking last night. , it’s cooler on you hehehe—”

"It's okay." Chu Qi was still expressionless, but Xie Yi clearly saw the corner of his mouth twitching: "Then can you go down now? Xie Da Yanshi."

Seeing Xie Yi repeatedly apologizing and hurriedly getting up, Chu Qi rubbed his forehead and secretly decided that Xie Yi can drink in the future, but absolutely, he should limit how much he drinks.

In the past few years, Xie Yi always wore a mask when walking outside.Before leaving Jingshui Lake this time, he also gave Chu Qi an identical one. Anyway, they both look the same, so naturally they should wear them together.

The two concealed their whereabouts along the way, and sent Ah Ruan back to Wushan. When saying goodbye, the little girl kept holding onto Xie Yi's sleeve and cried non-stop.It wasn't until Xie Yi handed her a Yanjia bird as a message, telling her to be obedient and that they would come to meet her soon, that she reluctantly let go, and said to Chu Qi:

"Hey, you have to take good care of brother Xie Yi, if you lose a hair, I will be rude to you!"

"... Mmm." Chu Qi nodded.Thinking silently in my heart, it seems that you have never been polite to me along the way.

A hundred years later, the sword master of Hanguang is Le Wuyi, and before that, it was Wu Huoluo, a general who donated poison, but now it is in whose hands.The two had no idea where to go to find Han Guang, so they decided to go to the sea market where rare treasures gathered, where there were many exchanges between the three worlds, to inquire about news and try their luck.They came to Jiangling during the starry night and waited for a few more days. When the Haishi opened, half a month had passed since they left Jingshui Lake.

Because of the need to purchase rare Yanjia materials, Xie Yi can be regarded as a frequent visitor to Haishi, and he is very familiar with many monsters here.

"Hey, Master Xie, long time no see. Are you here to buy Yanjia materials again?" Ping Yi from the weapon shop greeted Xie Yi warmly when he saw the young man in black behind him: "Hey, Master Xie Did you bring a guard this time?"

"Haha, long time no see, Boss Shui. But this is not a guard, it's mine...well, brother." Xie Yi thought about his choice of words, and started chatting with Boss Shui. This Pingyi likes to collect weapons, maybe he heard Over Han Guang.

Chu Qi silently walked into the store to look at Boss Shui's collection. Although it was called a weapons store, most of them were actually flashy decorations and had no lethality.He finally stopped in front of a Tang Dao, Wang Chuan had been shattered, and now he didn't have a weapon he could handle.He took the Tang knife out of the scabbard and glanced at it. The blade made a clang, and Boss Shui immediately shouted behind him:

"This little brother has really good eyesight! This is the treasure of our store, and it is extremely sharp. If you want it, I will give you a [-]% discount for Master Xie's face..."

"No, just take a look." Chu Qi shook his head, the scabbard was too gorgeous, but the blade was plain, which was really disappointing.

Xie Yi couldn't help laughing: "How did Boss Shui get so reduced that even this kind of stuff can be used as the treasure of the store?"

"It's business, don't expose it..." Ping Yi chuckled, not annoyed. "However, the last time I heard about the ancient sword Hanguang you asked about was at least 50 years ago. It seemed that someone had seen it in southern Xinjiang at that time, but he disappeared afterwards. Naturally, such a sword is not something I can imagine. If there is any news, little old man, even if I have lost all my wealth, I will take a look, touch it, and get inspired."

"Thank you, Boss Shui." 50 years ago?It's just a message of 'heard' and 'seen by others', which really doesn't have much value.

"Don't tell me, I can't help you much, but there are more rare and rare treasures in Boshang, you can go and find out."

"Xie has exactly that intention."

Xie Yi has also been to this place of Bo Selling Shop countless times, and after saying hello to the mouse spirit at the door, he walked in unimpeded.The two found a seat and sat down. After waiting for a long time, the bidding for the treasure demon slave began on the stage.For a while, the bidding sounded one after another, and it was very lively.The two are not very interested in this and do not want to participate.Until Si Bao took out the last treasure, Xie Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, even through two layers of masks, Chu Qi could still see the change in his expression.

"That...that's..."

"Everyone! Everyone!" Today's Si Bao is a fox demon, she smiled charmingly at the audience: "I think everyone has seen it, this is a super-rare Xuanqiu spirit beast skin, the last one, one hundred Let’s get started, the price will be increased by at least [-] each time, those who know the goods should hurry up!”

Unexpectedly, there were boos and laughter in the audience.

"Hahahaha Hu Sibao, are you kidding, who would want such a thing?"

"Xuanqiu is indeed a very rare and hard-to-find spirit beast. I thought it was extinct. But its skin is useless at all!"

"Everyone." The fox picked up the Xuanqiu skin on the tray and shook it, so that the guests in the audience could see it more clearly: "The skin of the Xuanqiu spirit beast has no hair, it is not afraid of water or fire, and it is slightly warm to the touch. This beast The skin is smooth and flexible, it is really the top grade among the top grades, and the starting price is so cheap, it is a rare opportunity~"

Unexpectedly, the audience laughed even harder.

"I just think it's so cheap if I can't sell it, hahaha!"

"It's a good thing, but doesn't your Boshou store not check the color of the goods you receive?"

"Isn't this too much like human skin? It's still slightly warm to the touch, more like a living person! Even though I'm a monster, I can't resist using it."

"How tasteless would you be to buy this piece of animal skin hahahaha!"

"The reputation of your bookstore is probably going to be ruined by this thing!"

The monsters below were chattering, and the fox demon's forehead couldn't help but sweat. Just as she was trying to smooth things over, a clear voice came from the corner.

"150 chips."

"Someone really bought it?!" The guests were astonished and looked sideways.

It was Xie Yi who spoke.This xuanqiupi is of course useless to ordinary people, but he took it and made the Yanjia people more like real people. Such a piece of material whose color is so close to human skin color is simply rare.

The fox demon was about to cry with joy. It is considered lucky to sell this thing. It doesn't matter how much the price can be sold. Her voice was a little trembling: "150 raise once, 150 raise twice, [-]—"

"Two hundred chips." A voice came from another corner.

Xie Yi, who was originally determined to win, also looked sideways in surprise along with all the guests. Not only did someone buy it, but someone also bid for it?It was a very ordinary person, a bit unshaven, and looked about 30 or [-] years old.In fact, in a place like Haishi where monsters gather, it is not unusual for an ordinary human to appear.

Chu Qi felt that this person looked familiar, although he would not remember it for a while.While thinking about it, Xie Yi had already increased the price not to be outdone: "250 chips."

"three hundred."

"Four hundred chips!"

"five hundred!"

Every time the price was raised, the exclamation of the guests increased. From their point of view, even if it was sold for only a few cents, they didn't want it. Those who would spend money to buy it must be taken advantage of.

When the price was increased to [-] chips, Chu Qi couldn't help pulling Xie Yi: "Forget it, it's already so expensive, let's talk about that person—"

"This item is one of my long-cherished wishes for many years. I must get it no matter what!" Xie Yi glanced at the person, and the other party had already offered a price of [-] chips, so Xie Yi quoted what he could afford. The highest price tag: "Two thousand chips!"

The man froze for a moment, shook his head and sat down, but he didn't make any more bids.Thus, Xie Yi got that precious piece of Xuanqiu skin under the eyes of the audience who were either surprised, respected or ridiculed.

After the guests left, the person who was bidding with Xie Yi came over and sighed: "I didn't expect that someone would actually snatch this thing from me. I thought that no one would want it at all, and I could take it away at the reserve price."

He picked up the pipe and took a puff, clasped his fists to Xie Yi and Chu Qi and said, "My name is Ye Hai, I am a Yanshi."

The author has something to say:

·The official only said that Ye Hai was a Yanshi, and that he and Xie Yi were old friends, but did not say when they met.Then it should be assumed that he and Xie Yi himself have only met once, and that he and Xie Yan are acquainted.

·I made up a kind of spirit beast, but I couldn’t name it, so I couldn’t think of a nice one
