Chapter 66: Mountain People and Black Goat Eyes
As a resident of the City of Moses, the original Tang Qi had been to Midtown Park. The planning there was very reasonable. The forest was combined with the convenience of modern civilization. You could appreciate the more primitive scenery and eat the spicy hot dogs at the same time.
However, this Blue Bear Park was obviously only left with the original features. There was hardly any planning. It probably only surrounded a forest, a slope, and a small lake, and then became a park for use.
Tang Qi thought that it would take a lot of time to find that night market.
Evidently, he overestimated the size of this park.
After passing through a thick forest and a steep slope, he saw the destination.
Before his eyes, there was a place that gave a blissful picture and a feeling of joy to those who saw it. Of course, if it was an ordinary person, they would also feel strange.
In the central part of the park, there was a large trade fair.
At this time, it was actually brightly lit.
Tang Qi saw tents with different characteristics, some of which were obviously used as stalls, as well as those that were baking food or gatherings for some people. The most exaggerated was the largest one.
Judging from the signs hanging outside, it might be a circus.
In the crevices of various tents, there were all kinds of private small stalls. With the help of the lights around the lawn, they are conducting their own small business. It was supposed to be late at night, but this place was packed with people. Although it wasn't crowded, it was definitely lively.
Tang Qi was not close. But he could already faintly hear the mixed voices of people and some musical sounds, which were not very formal, but very spirited.
"Well, it seems that Mr. Kassel didn't deceive me. There's indeed an interesting night market at Blue Bear Park."
"Since Kassel can find the activated ethos ghost grass, as well as the materials to configure the spider monster secret medicine, then I should also be able to find the materials I need. Although the quantity may be a little large. but…I have the money. "
While speaking, Tang Qi reached into his arms and took out a small cloth bag. As he shook it, a jingling sound was immediately heard.
A bag of condor gold coins!
Although the bag wasn't big, based on Tang Qi's understanding of the purchasing power of condor gold coins, as long as there was really something he needed in the market, he would definitely make the seller satisfied. With a murmur, Tang Qi put the bag back in his pocket, and then descended the steep slope along a very obscure path and smoothly stepped into the narrow main road.
Perhaps it was not long before the market started, people with different or similar purposes as Tang Qi gathered from all over.
The sellers or performers had already entered the market in advance, and most of the people rushing over should be the buyers and the idle spectators.
Tang Qi saw a playboy carrying a homemade musical instrument on his back, a well-dressed fur trader, and some old gentlemen, probably antique collectors, but most of them were young people, young people who adored themselves and the mysterious atmosphere.
Of course, It wasn't wrong to call them nerds or weirdos.
Even if regular teenagers come out late at night, they would be in a bar, not in this weird park.
Soon after, he stepped into the market and no one stopped him. As soon as he stepped on the lawn, he was surrounded by a variety of tents and stalls, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Tang Qi played as a neatly dressed gentleman, with obvious curiosity and excitement on his face. If one was an experienced peddler, they could tell that he was a "little fat sheep." And could be slaughtered as long as a few tricks were used.
But here, no one seemed to be actively inviting guests, not even shouting.
Spread in the air, most of the songs played were from wandering vagrants and playboys.
The corners of Tang Qi's lifted onto a smile, and the range of his feet became brisk and natural. Soon, he was fully integrated into the crowd. Even if you looked very carefully, you wouldn't be able to find Tang Qi's figure in the crowd.
As a buyer, Tang Qi didn't immediately look for what he needed.
Instead, as he traveled through the sea of people, the first stop was at a semi-open structure in front of a tent, in which a band was singing, their instruments looked rough and primitive, obviously self-made, even the songs were all original, immature, but with a rugged charm.
Tang Qi appreciated it for a moment, and then finally rewarded them with a silver coin.
The next tent was unexpectedly a "spiritual cultivation room". The host was a thin old man with white hair, a small white braid, and his self-tanned animal skin clothes. The sign hanging on the tent stated that any audience can join, and for free.
The so-called spiritual practice was similar to Tang Qi's idea of meditation, pursuing the purification, promotion, and transcendence of his spirit in order to achieve a tranquil state of all things.
The difference was that spiritual cultivation could not produce any extraordinary power.
So Tang Qi glanced at it, and then went to the next tent. This time it was finally a serious stall. The owner was a mountain man named Thorne, with a very cute little loli, selling all kinds of animal skins and herbs. There were also some beautiful stones, the latter should've been added by Little Loli herself.
Tang Qi looked around and found that the crowd began to disperse. They were not leaving, the market had already started for half an hour. Most people were looking for tents or stalls that they were interested in.
This time, instead of leaving quickly, he decided to start his shopping trip tonight here, because he saw something that was on his shopping list.
"Hello, I'm Thorne, what can I do for you?"
Perhaps because Tang Qi stayed a little longer, the stall owner, the mountain man Thorne, came over after greeting the last guest and asked politely.
"How much of this herb do you have?"
Tang Qi said without hiding anything and pointed directly at several strange plants among a large pile of herbs on the unfolded animal hide in front of him.
It was a pitch-black herb with dry roots. There were some white contours on the thumb-sized leaves, which cooperated with the overall color, forming an illusion that it was an eye.
"This is the black goat eye. This herb can be used to treat eye diseases. It's said that for thousands of years, the aboriginals of the Berber people used its grounded powder to create smoke, and used smoke therapy to treat injured or infected eyes."
"I brought a total of more than a dozen plants this time. If you need more, I can bring some more back next week."
"Do you need me to pack these for you?"
It had to be said that the seemingly dull mountain man was actually a sharp salesman.
Tang Qi just asked casually, but he had already started to get ready to pack them.
However, his introduction to the herbal plant was only half right, and it belonged to the category of ordinary people, but in the extraordinary field, although the herbal plant was also called the black goat eye, it is also the material in many secret medicine recipes.
For example, one of Tang Qi's basic secret medicines, psychic secret medicine.
Black goat eyes were considered to be a very important material in the formula.
So after being surprised, Tang Qi immediately smiled and said, "Okay!"
