Chapter 1620 Anti-Pickpocketing Consultant (1/92)
In the bustling spirit beast market, all kinds of regular spirit beasts for sale squatted obediently in their own glass cabinets, eating the exquisite feed prepared by the merchants, waiting for their owners.
This is the largest spirit beast trading market in Songhai City, where you can buy almost any spirit beast you want.
Spirit beasts below the fifth grade do not need to be certified, they only need to provide the corresponding realm certificate, and they can be taken home directly after payment below the Jindan stage.
Spirit beasts above the fifth grade are mostly large spirit beasts, that is, for example, in the range of fourth-grade spirit beasts to first-grade spirit beasts.
In addition to having a certain realm, cultivators also need to provide a professional pet trainer's qualification certificate.
A high realm does not mean that they have the ability to control spirit beasts and treat them well.
In modern society, there is actually an equal relationship between spirit beasts and cultivators.
The sellers of spirit beasts actually play the role of intermediaries.
In the funds for purchasing spirit beasts, in addition to the cost of feed for spirit beasts, intermediary fees and monthly rent for store maintenance are also included.
Of course, the largest proportion of this money is still the employment fee of spirit beasts.
It is said to be buying spirit beasts.
In fact, it is to hire a spirit beast to fight for you, and the money is also transferred to the exclusive account of the hired spirit beast.
High-level spirit beasts are intelligent and know how to trade and enjoy life.
So it is not strange for modern cultivators to see some transformed spirit beasts appearing in downtown areas.
Of course, permanent employment buyouts are also available.
It requires the common will of the employer and the spirit beast to sign a contract.
The effectiveness will continue until the employer has no descendants, cannot inherit the spirit beast, or the spirit beast dies.
Such an equal and strict cultivation system was simply unimaginable in ancient times.
Zhang Ziqie was standing in this huge spirit beast market at this time, feeling the noisy voices and the calls of spirit beasts around him, and suddenly felt as if he was in another world.
A few days ago, he and Li Xian watched a classic movie "The Shawshank Redemption".
There was an old man who had been imprisoned for decades.
When the old man was released from prison, he could not adapt to the modern world.
In the end, the old man chose to hang himself in the hotel where he was staying.
After Zhang Ziqian and Li Xian saw this scene, they also found two ropes.
When Wei Zhi opened the door at that time.
He saw the two hanging on the beams and chatting...
They were immortal and powerful.
In a sense, they were also quite lonely.
This scene at that time left a deep impression on Wei Zhi.
I always felt that these two strange uncles seemed to be doing some performance art.
But now Li Xian and Zhang Ziqian, because Wang Ling needs them, need them to adapt to modern life.
Therefore, the two are also working hard to learn and adapt.
"Xiaozhi."
The two were walking well.
Suddenly, Zhang Ziqian stopped Wei Zhi.
"What's wrong, senior?" Wei Zhi showed a puzzled face.
"You go buy it. I want to sit by the fountain for a while. I haven't seen so many people for a long time." Zhang Ziqian sighed.
"Okay." Wei Zhi nodded and agreed happily. Before leaving, he warned: "Senior, please don't take other people's things randomly..."
"Don't worry, I am now the consultant of the anti-theft team. I must lead by example." Zhang Ziqian responded.
Wei Zhi was relieved. He saw Zhang Ziqian sitting alone by the fountain. He looked at him for a few seconds before leaving.
Although he felt that he didn't know what kind of person Zhang Ziqian was.
But from the back.
He felt that Zhang Ziqian and Li Xian, the two new uncles, must have stories!
...
Zhang Ziqian felt the breath of people in the downtown area by the fountain, thinking in his heart.
The modern cultivation society seems to be much smaller than the ancient times, but the life in front of him has become the epitome of the ancient times, which always makes Zhang Ziqian's thoughts unconsciously return to a long time ago.
While he was settling down, he was constantly reflecting on what he had done in his heart.
Even if it has become a passing cloud, it can never go back.
After sitting quietly for a while, Zhang Ziqian received a call from Li Xian: "Brother Ziqian, where are you now? Why did you leave me alone for the meeting and sneak out by yourself?"
Zhang Ziqian smiled: "Aren't you going out for a walk with friend Wei Zhi? The world is so big, I also want to go out for a walk."
"It's like this, I received a request for help from Zhan Zong, they need to investigate a Thousand Faces Man." Li Xian told Zhang Ziqian everything that Diulei Zhenjun said.
"Everyone sees a different face, right?" Zhang Ziqian frowned.
"Yes. Because the identity of this Thousand Faces Man is not known at present, classmate Sun Rong is very troubled. You know, that girl has a good relationship with Ling Zhenren. If we can help, maybe Miss Sun can say a few good words for us."
"I understand." Zhang Ziqian nodded.
In terms of human relations, he and Li Xian are both old hands, and there is no need to say more.
"So what can you think of? A spell that can make everyone see a different face? Is this an illusion?" Li Xian thought he had a lot of experience, but he had never heard of such a spell.
The main thing was that everyone saw a different face, and even Li Xian himself couldn't see through it. He stared at the screenshot for a long time and found that the person in the picture was a little lolita wearing white stockings... different from what everyone else saw.
"It's really weird. Now the Zhan Zong is saying that I'm a lolita lover. I'm not a Paladin." Li Xian held his forehead and felt a headache.
"..."
Zhang Ziqian pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "I did think of a spell, but that spell originated from the ancient times..."
"Ancient spell? How is this possible?" Li Xian was surprised.
"Although the probability is very low, I don't think it's completely impossible. Even though Wang Daozu has locked so many people in the map, I still believe that there must be people who are missed."
"Brother Ziqian means that besides us, there are still some people who are still alive among the ancient masters? And they are still living a secluded life in the human world?"
"It's just a guess. There is no decisive evidence."
Zhang Ziqian said: "But this matter is a bit troublesome. To be able to launch such an illusion, you must be at least a terrestrial ancestor. But why would a terrestrial ancestor find such a little girl to make a deal? I can't figure it out."
Things are getting interesting.
In fact, Zhang Ziqian thought that it would be faster to go directly to Jiang Yingying to ask for clarification instead of such a random investigation.
"Go directly to Miss Jiang? That's not a good idea..."
"It's just a secret investigation. Since Miss Jiang has met him once, she will definitely make an appointment again."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Tonight, Brother Li Xian and I will go to Miss Jiang's house to take a look."
"In modern society, there are wall-penetrating alarms in the cultivation community. If you use the wall-penetrating technique, you will be discovered..." Li Xian was worried.
"Who said you want to penetrate the wall."
Zhang Ziqian chuckled: "Just pick the lock directly."
This is.
His old business...
Li Xian was shocked: "Aren't you already an anti-theft consultant now..."
Zhang Ziqian: "This is called familiarity with the business. If you don't practice for too long, your hands will be rusty. If I, a consultant, am rusty, how can I be a consultant for others."
Li Xian: "..."
