163 The Golden Cicada leaves its shell
āSir, do you really want to die for these things?ā
...
The manager of the pawnshop looked at Xia ping āan through the pawnshop window. His gaze was as if he was looking at a Bandit.
Thatās right, no ordinary person could take out such a large number of items at once. Those items looked like they were owned by killers and robbers, especially those golden head ornaments. At first glance, it was obvious that they came from illegal sources.
When Xia Pingan took out the swords, guns, and golden headdress from his storage space, two ā security guards ā from the pawnshop appeared silently in the business Hall. Their four eyes were fixed on Xia Pingan. One of the ā security guards ā had an obvious fluctuation of divine power, which meant to tell Xia Pingan, ā brother, donāt have any other thoughts. Iām also from the China Merchants Bank.
There was probably no such thing as gun control in Dawan city. On Xia Pinganās way here, he had seen several gun shops along the way. Those shops sold gunpowder firearms and ammunition of all sizes.
There were also many shops that sold cold weapons.
There were many people on the street carrying knives and guns.
āYes, I pawned them all!ā Xia Pingan said directly, ā shopkeeper, please state your price, Yingluo.
these swords and handguns are all worn out, and the color isnāt too good. These golden head ornaments can only be used by Summoners, and I need to melt them again. How about 46 gold coins? ā The shopkeeperās small eyes stared at Xia ping āan. He had already decided that if Xia pingā an were to haggle, he would still be able to grind his lips and add another two gold coins.
āFine, 46 gold coins then!ā Xia ping āan didnāt bother to argue with him and said directly.
In this world, there were gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, which were the unified currency system set by banks across the world. The agreement was that the color and weight of each of the three currencies were completely the same. For different forces, they only had different patterns; therefore, their weight and color were completely the same. In this way, it was convenient for trade.
The shopkeeper took out the money from behind the counter and counted 46 gold coins for Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan weighed the gold coins in his hand. Each gold coin weighed about 50 grams. Some of the gold coins had the image of the Tang familyās Castle and Dawan city on them. Some of the gold coins had the image of a woman with two full moons on her head. The latter had the image of the moon goddess.
Reaching out his hand, Xia Pingan swept all the gold coins into his own space-teleportation equipment.
After that, Xia Pingan left the pawnshop.
ā¦ā¦
As soon as she walked out, the feeling of being stared at appeared again. It was as if there was a dagger on her back. Xia ping āan didnāt make a sound. She took the money and continued to the next place.
This time, Xia Pingan went to a store that sold clothes.
On the street, there were puppet models wearing all kinds of clothes on the window displays. At the same time, there was a pair of scissors hanging on the signboard. It was a boutique here.
Xia ping āan chose a large-scale clothing store and went in to shop. She bought a lot of clothes in one go. After coming out of the clothing store, Xia pingā an went to a bathhouse in the city. By the time she came out of the bathhouse, it was already noon. Xia ping āan looked completely different from head to toe, and she was full of energy.
After that, Xia Pingan went to a restaurant in the city. After having lunch, he went straight to the train station of Dawan city and bought a train that was leaving Dawan city soon. Without saying a word, he got on the train at the station and squeezed into the crowded train carriage. He took the train and left Dawan city.
After he got on the train, the feeling of being watched disappeared for a moment, but it didnāt take long for that feeling to come back.
Xia Pingan stood in the car and stared at the people who were getting on the car. There were all kinds of people on the car, both men and women. She couldnāt tell who was staring at her.
This situation only meant one thing-the strength of the person who was watching him was completely beyond his imagination. Even if he was watching him, he would not be able to discover it.
The train slowly left the platform and headed north.
The train was running on the tracks, and its speed gradually reached more than 80 kilometers per hour.
The trainās destination was the Holy Kingdom of the moon god sect in the North. Along the way, it would pass through the territories and cities of more than ten clans. From Dawan city to the Holy Kingdom of the moon god sect in the North, it would take more than twenty days to pass through more than half of the Golden Moon continentās southern region.
weāre checking the tickets, weāre checking the tickets! the train attendant began to check the tickets.
After checking the tickets, the hawkers selling tea, melon seeds, and cigarettes on the bus came over. They peddled along the bus and Xia Pingan spent one silver coin to buy a bowl of tea.
The tea on the train was not cheap, but after buying it, you could add water at any time for free.
After drinking too much tea, one would naturally have three urges.
There was a toilet on the train!
Before dark, Xia ping āan went to the toilet twice. Each time, she would be back after two to three minutes.
The train continued to run, and before they knew it, the sky had turned dark.
Outside the train was an endless wilderness and Hills.
After having dinner in the restaurant on the train, Xia Pingan returned to his seat. After sitting for a while, Xia Pingan got up again and went to the toilet.
This time, as soon as he entered the toilet, Xia Pingan closed the door and opened the window. Like a Loach, he slid out of the window of the train and jumped out of the train. He fell into the wilderness outside and lay on the wild grass that was half a manās height outside the track.
As soon as the train left, Xia Pingan got up and began to run toward the mountains in the distance. His figure disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
ā¦ā¦
Five minutes later, a skinny figure wearing a black robe and a ferocious ox-head mask appeared at the place where Xia Pingan had jumped off the train. He let out a low roar, and his eyes behind the mask flickered with a fierce light. He immediately chased after Xia Pingan like a bolt of lightning.
ā¦ā¦
The night was getting darker.
A few hours later, in a Valley in the endless wilderness, the man wearing a black robe and a bull-headed devil mask finally noticed Xia Pinganās figure, who was fleeing at full speed.
brat, youāre quite cunning. You actually noticed that Iām watching you. Letās see where you can run to, tsk tsk. a black-robed figure descended from the sky. His voice was deep and ghostly, and he blocked Xia ping āanās path. He pointed at Xia pingā an, and a stream of black smoke, like a rope, flew towards Xia ping āan.
Xia ping, who was running, calmed down and smiled at the black-robed figure. He was not nervous at all.
Just as the black-robed figure was feeling a little strange, the black smoke-like rope touched Xia ping āan. Xia pingā anās body shook for a moment, then turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated.
illusionary technique, the Beacon-fire touches the Marquis Qianqian! the figure in the black robe suddenly roared. He had not expected that he would be fooled by a brat after chasing for half a night.
This was a huge loss of face.
The point was that he had been distracted by the illusion for such a long time, and he didnāt know where the kid had escaped to.
The black-robed figure flew into the air and looked around.
In the vast wilderness and Hills, there was no one to be seen.
ā¦ā¦
Just as Xia ping āanās illusionary figure was destroyed, in a tree hole in a forest 100 miles away, Xia pingā an, who was hiding in it, suddenly opened his eyes, and a look of horror flashed across them.
There was a mysterious connection between the summoner who cast the spell and the illusion. Not only could Xia Pingan control the direction of the illusory figureās escape, but she could also completely sense what the illusory figure saw and heard.
Although that Man in Black robe and ox-head mask didnāt show his face, judging from his figure and voice, Xia Pingan immediately recalled that black-robed elder of Tang Clan.
āWhy would that elder of Tang Clan want to harm me? Iāve only met him once. Additionally, thereās no grudge between us.ā
Xia ping āan didnāt know the reason behind this, but he knew that a Wolf eating a sheep didnāt need the sheepās consent and understanding. This was how the world worked.
Under the protection of the green protective barrier, Xia ping āan hid in the tree hole for five days. After five days, when he was sure that the elder of the Tang family had left, Xia pingā an crawled out of the tree hole, identified the direction, and then ran wildly towards the North.
