Chapter 17 Good Bow
"Immortal Meat? You have such a big tone, you dare to name it."

Bai Zhantang naturally thought that the name was chosen to highlight how delicious it was.

"Brother Bai, why don't you give it a try?"

Li Xin followed suit.

"Okay, then let me taste it, how dare it be called fairy meat."

Bai Zhantang stepped forward, picked up one with two fingers, and took a bite without hesitation.

"Ok?"

His complexion changed suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Old, what's wrong with you, old Bai?"

Li Dazui was curious about the taste, and wanted to ask Li Xin for one.

Seeing that Bai Zhantang was in such a strange state, he wondered if it was too unpalatable?
"Spicy! Hot, hot! Hiss! Give me water!"

Bai Zhantang came over slowly and shouted.

Li Xin threw the cowhide water bag to him.

Grumpy Grumpy!

He took a few sips, and half the bag of water went away.

Then he threw it back to Li Xin, wiped his mouth, and ate the rest of the spicy strips in two bites, chewing continuously in his mouth.

"Why are you still eating?"

Li Dazui asked.

"The taste is ordinary, but it's addictively spicy! Brother Li, give me another one!"

Bai Zhantang "hissed" while chewing, it was obviously still spicy, but he just couldn't stop his mouth.

"Take it yourself, Dazui, you can eat some too?"

Li Xin said with a smile.

At the same time, I also grabbed one and chewed slowly.

This package of "immortal meat" is extra spicy, but it is still within the normal acceptance range.

He also has Devil's Spicy and Hell's Spicy in his grocery store.

It is said that a misfortune can send people away.

"It's weird, why does this thing get hotter and hotter?"

"How on earth is it made? Is there such a hot pepper in Daxia?"

Bai Zhantang ate several sticks in a row, and Li Dazui did the same.

Under the two people scrambling to show off, Li Xin only ate two, and the rest went into their stomachs.

Li Xin also gained something, at least he learned some common sense, the Central Plains of this world already has peppers.

Of course, invisibly, the relationship with Bai Zhantang and Li Dazui has become much closer.

Soon, the three of them finished their meal and rested enough, and continued on their way.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, they came to the entrance of Heifeng Forest.

The trees are dense, the wind is blowing, and it is gloomy.

"This, why does it look so intrusive here? Old Baiyi has to keep us safe."

Li Dazui is average in courage.

Whenever he spoke, he leaned towards Bai Zhantang.

"Just remember, don't wander around in the deepest part of the Black Wind Forest, you won't have any major problems."

Bai Zhantang looked relaxed, talking while walking.

What jackals, tigers and leopards, trail scissors, there are all there should be here.

But because there are forces here to open a black market, drive away thieves, and sweep away wild animals, most of the area is safe.

"arrive!"

After walking for less than half an hour, Bai Zhantang brought the two of them to a suddenly enlightened place.

It is a large open space after the trees, weeds, stones, etc. have been cleared.

Of course, it's not empty right now.

It has been filled with dense street stalls and pedestrians in different costumes.

There was a lot of voices, but no one made any noise. Bai Zhantang explained that someone was always watching in the dark to maintain order.

If someone dares to make trouble and sabotage, the end will not be a light matter such as losing money or being beaten.

"Brother Bai, although we came out late and walked only on our feet, it has already been half a day now. If we look carefully at each of the stalls in such a big venue, no one can finish shopping? Could it be that everyone else gets up early and stays late, Came here on a fast horse?"

Li Xin asked after observing for a while.

"You don't know, here is a small market every three days, and a big market every month. Since I brought you out to gain knowledge, I naturally came here after inquiring about the big market. The size of the small market is two or three achievements."

Bai Zhantang patiently explained, and then said: "The big market will last for three days, we have time to stroll slowly, and the black market, black market, can it be called a black market if it doesn't open until dark? It's only noon, and it's early."

What is the meaning of the black market?
Li Xin tentatively agrees with this statement.

But after three days, the three of them will definitely not really stay for three days.

Before leaving, shopkeeper Tong also asked Bai Zhantang to issue a military order, telling them to go back before dawn tomorrow morning.

"Let's go and have a look there first."

At this time, Bai Zhantang himself was also in high spirits.

Of course he won't buy martial arts, but shopping is also a kind of pastime.

He took the lead and Li Xin and the two just followed.

Looking at the stalls one by one, most of them are selling all kinds of old things.

Most of them are normal second-hand goods.

A small part, according to Bai Zhantang, was basically excavated from the tomb.

"Brother Bai, is there a master who teaches archery in Qixia Town?"

At a certain moment, Li Xin became interested when he came to a stall selling bows and arrows.

Why didn't I think before that if you can't learn martial arts for a while, you can learn archery first.

This is a long-range attack method, and it is difficult to be replaced by martial arts.

"There shouldn't be any in the town, but in Nanyi Village and Naner Village, there must be hunters who can shoot arrows."

As Bai Zhantang said, he also squatted in front of the booth and touched the hunting bow.

It has a sense of thickness as a whole, and the bow arms and bow strings are all black.

This is the only one on the stand.

The rest also sell some animal fur, teeth and so on.

"How do you sell this bow?"

Touching the hunting bow for a while to check, then pulling it away to try again, Bai Zhantang asked the price.

The stall owner was an old man in his 60s and [-]s with a square face. He looked at Bai Zhantang in surprise and said, "One price, five taels of silver."

"Five taels? It's too expensive, so let's not buy it."

Li Dazui said to Li Dazui.

Although he doesn't do hunting and has never practiced bow and arrow, he knows about an ordinary bow, and the best new one is only about three or four taels.

But right now this one is almost used for patina, not to mention second-hand, he believes in twenty hands.

It actually costs five taels.

"Brother Bai, what do you say?"

Li Xin still believed in Bai Zhantang's judgment.

"Don't forget where this is. Five taels is not expensive, but it is just right. This bow is made of good materials, very strong, much stronger than ordinary ones, and it can barely be regarded as a good bow."

Bai Zhantang said seriously, and handed the hunting bow in his hand to Li Xin.

"It's not forced, it's just a good bow."

The stall owner interjected, his tone light.

Li Xin took the hunting bow and weighed it first, it was very heavy, and then tried to pull the bowstring.

It's a pity that I can't pull it off at all.

Only then did he understand that it took so much effort for Bai Zhantang to draw his bow seemingly easily just now.

"Brother Li, I think you should forget it. Practicing bows and arrows is no easier than practicing martial arts. Even if you want to master it, you need to spend more energy than practicing a martial arts to perfection."

Bai Zhantang sincerely persuaded.

To practice bow and arrow, you first need to work hard. The difficulty of this process is equivalent to practicing an ordinary hard skill.

"Are you sure it's a good bow?"

Unmoved, Li Xin asked.

"I've checked it out. This bow is really good, but if you really want to buy it, don't rush it. Let's go shopping elsewhere first, and you can come back later."

Bai Zhantang could tell from Li Xin's expression that he wanted to buy it.

But as a friend, knowing it was useless, I still spoke up.
