Chapter 115 The Chosen One
Chapter 115 The Chosen One
Coincidentally, this small box is lip rouge, which is equivalent to lipstick.
It's a small box, and when you open it, you find pieces of paper that look like petals.
Then, the proprietress took out a few more identical boxes.
Sure enough, there are so many colors that it’s dazzling.
"How much silver is this?" Tang Yixien asked, pointing to the bright red in front of him.
He didn't bring much silver this time. Bi Lingfeng didn't have much silver to begin with. He only received a little every month, and it was not fixed.
He thought that he had to find a way to make money when he returned.
The proprietress smiled so hard that she almost blossomed, raised her eyebrows and said:
"Sir, this is our shop's signature dish. It's perfect as a gift. It's only twenty taels of silver per box."
The woman next to her looked over in surprise, but was glared back at by the proprietress.
Tang Yixin saw this and knew that the proprietress was treating him as a "guest" and was taking advantage of him.
The price is raised.
Yeah, they don't look like locals at all.
"Madam, this price isn't right. Is this made of gold?" Jin Xiaoxiao said from the side.
"Oh, sir, you can't say that. The thought behind a gift is more valuable than gold."
Tang Yixi lowered his eyes without any expression, smiled calmly, then turned and walked away, his figure moving gracefully and his long sleeves flicked, decisively and neatly.
The boss lady's face changed immediately, like turning the pages of a book. She had never seen anyone who couldn't afford it and was so casual. She rolled her eyelids and said loudly,
"You think this is too expensive? Tsk tsk tsk... What a waste of this face! If you are really short of money, with your stunning looks, how can you not make money? You only need..."
Tang Yixien's footsteps suddenly stopped, but he did not turn around.
The proprietress was about to continue speaking without knowing what was good for her.
There was a loud bang!
Sheng Qingye's chains had overturned all the counters in front.
"Oh my goodness!"
The proprietress had a look of horror on her face, her eyes wide open, and the rouge on her face fell off in fear.
The ground was a mess.
The customers in the store ran out when they saw this scene.
Tang Yixien slowly turned around at this time and looked at the proprietress who was trembling with fear.
He suddenly realized.
The people in this town seem to be too profit-driven, especially those who do business.
However, this is understandable.
People are selfish. He should not force others to be honest, but he can choose not to buy it.
Tang Yixian raised his eyes at this time and said with a cold smile:
"How much silver is this rouge?"
"One tael of silver, one tael." The proprietress was so scared that she leaned against the shelf behind her and trembled, holding up a finger and said.
The shelf was shaking, and the bottles and jars on it were trembling and making noises.
This rouge usually costs this price.
Tang Yixin thought, this proprietress is quite evil, no wonder the woman next to her looked at them in surprise.
Tang Yixien asked the boss lady to pack up all the colors and also paid for the broken things.
But it's within a reasonable range.
"I'll hold it for Master." Xuan Yuran took the basket containing the rouge.
He always felt that it was not appropriate for Master to carry this pink basket.
The purchase of this rouge was quite a bumpy process, and Tang Yixien calmed down.
He planned to buy some more fruits and go back. The people in this town always gave him an uncomfortable feeling.
Several people walked towards the lively place in front.
"Hurry up, the time for the Chosen Ceremony is almost here."
"You go if you want to. I can't watch that. It's too scary."
At this moment, the crowd in the market began to surge and gathered towards the square not far from Tang Yixin.
Tang Yixin and a few others happened to be in the crowd and were pushed forward.
It's so lively that you really have to join in.
Since you are here, take a look.
Tang Yixien decided to see what was going on.
He just heard the words "Chosen Great Sacrifice".
Several people were squeezed into the crowded square. The four of them were tall and could see clearly.
In the center of the square was a platform.
In the middle of the platform, there is a huge rectangular iron cage, more than one person tall. The railings of the cage are made of very thick pig iron, which is dark and hard, and looks very strong.
Even if you lock a wild beast in there, it won't be able to escape.
The door of the cage was now open to the outside. For some reason, one look inside the cage made one feel uncomfortable all over.
In front of the cage stood a man wearing bright yellow clothes. Looking closely, one could see some spells written in blood on the clothes.
His face was pale without a trace of blood, and he seemed to be muttering something.
His hands were raised in front of his chest, shaking uncontrollably, as people do when they are extremely frightened.
"This person looks very much like the Mr. Li we saw that day." Jin Xiaoxiao said at this time.
After hearing what Jin Xiaoxiao said, Tang Yixien looked carefully at the man's face on the stage.
No wonder he looked familiar at first.
Isn’t this the arrogant and domineering Mr. Li whom I met outside the brothel last time?
His timid and fearful look at this moment was so different from yesterday that Tang Yixuan didn't recognize him at first.
And his bright yellow robe looked like a talisman worn on his body.
A spell?
The chosen one?
Poor man.
Putting these words together, Tang Yixien seemed to have thought of something.
But he was unwilling to believe that there was any talk of sacrifice at this time.
"Hasn't he already enjoyed it? It's too late to be afraid now. No one in the town dares to mess with him." The people next to them whispered.
"His family chose him. I heard that his mother took the lead in choosing him?"
After hearing this, Tang Yixien couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At this moment, a sharp and deep female voice suddenly sounded.
"The time for the Heavenly Chosen Festival has arrived!"
The sound was like a wisp of smoke, coming from the deep and terrifying darkness, floating and lingering, making people tremble all over when they heard it.
The people in the audience immediately quieted down.
Tang Yixien's heart also lifted with these words. What kind of horror town is this?
"What time? The Chosen Ceremony?" Sheng Qingye asked in a low voice, with a youthful curiosity and sharpness in his eyes.
"It's probably some kind of ritual." Jin Xiaoxiao said in a low voice, holding the fan to the tip of her nose.
"Is this why Young Master Li is pitiful?" Xuan Yuran said, recalling the scene that day.
These words reminded Tang Yixien of the shadow. The two shadows always made him feel uneasy.
I wonder if it has anything to do with today's Heavenly Chosen Festival.
At this time, a very tall man walked out from behind the curtain on the stage. He was estimated to be more than two meters tall.
A robe made of strips of cloth of various colors hung loosely on his body, covering his entire body tightly.
It looks like a colorful, tall scarecrow.
