71. The clue of chalcedony (three watches)

When he saw Guan Lao, he was still wearing the white practice shirt he wore last time, standing in the courtyard and boxing, although the number of roads was about the same as last time, but it was a little less elegant, and more heavy, giving people a feeling of resentment.

Zhang Yang stood aside and waited, only to see Guan Lao finish a set of punches from beginning to end, without stopping for a moment, and start all over again.

"It seems that the effect of that Baoyuan Pill is good, Guan Lao's complexion is much better now..."

Zhang Yang pondered silently.

After waiting for about an hour, Guan Lao finished three sets of punches before he paused and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Guan Ziqing immediately handed over a cup of herbal tea, Guan Lao took a sip lightly, looked up at Zhang Yang, and smiled:

"Mr. Zhang is now in Jingnan, I'm afraid he won't want to see me, a bad old man. ”

It can be heard that there is resentment in his words, but Zhang Yang can understand.

No matter how Guan Ziqiang is not successful, no matter how he corrupts the style, he is the eldest grandson of the Guan family after all, Guan Lao is an old man who came from the old era, and he also has traditional concepts in his bones, and now his only grandson has been killed, how can he not be sad and angry?

Thinking about it this way, it is not easy for Guan Lao to talk to Zhang Yang calmly now.

"Guan Lao said seriously, the Guan family and I have the grace of acquaintance, and I will not forget it. ”

Out of sympathy for the old man in his twilight, Zhang Yang lowered his posture and said.

"Grandpa, this surname Zhang is inevitably too unkind, how can Brother Ziqiang also be your grandson... He's just that direct... And in front of so many people. Guan Ziqing next to him said angrily, "If something like this happens, I don't know what others will think of my Guan family." ”

"Alas, your brother is to blame, and he can't blame others. Guan Lao waved his hand a little tiredly and said:

"You don't know, he has had close contacts with a transnational smuggling gang in recent years, and what he has done is a traitorous hook-up for glory, even if there is no Mr. Zhang, I will not let him go... Ahem. ”

Probably a little excited, Guan Lao couldn't help coughing twice, and after a while, he said:

"Let's not talk about the past, Mr. Zhang, please take a seat. ”

Since he said so, he said that he was not to blame in the past, and Zhang Yang and the Guan family could still maintain a good relationship.

Zhang Yang nodded slightly, sat on the Taishi chair opposite Guan Lao, and saw Guan Ziqing making tea beside him.

"Mr. Zhang, the last time you asked me to inquire about the news of chalcedony, I asked a lot of old friends these days, although that thing is rare, but I still have some eyebrows. Guan Lao said slowly, "In Jiangdong Province, I know an old boxer who practices Tai Chi, and he said that a batch of chalcedony has recently been lost to their local area and is going to be sold at auction. ”

"If Mr. Zhang wants those chalcedony, I'm afraid he'll have to run for it himself. ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "It's okay, Guan Lao can provide information, I am very grateful." Where exactly is it in Koto Province?"

Jiangdong Province is located in the southeast of China, east of Zhejiang, Min Province, south of Liangguang, west of Hunan Province, north of Jingchu, Huaidong and Yangtze River, is an important part of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Unlike Jingchu's long history, the red culture there is famous at home and abroad, Jinggangshan is the cradle of the Chinese Revolution, and the provincial capital Hongdu is the birthplace of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

"Jiujiang City. Guan Lao replied.

When Zhang Yang heard this, he raised his head slightly, it seems that it is not very far, and it is convenient to go there.

Guan Lao said lightly while drinking tea: "According to my old friend, the auction will be hosted in the next few days, and if Mr. Zhang wants to go, he should go early..."

"Well, I'll just go there in the next few days. ”

Next, Guan Lao told Zhang Yang the contact information of the old friend, and the two sat down to talk about some gossip, all of which were inconsequential tea and dinner.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Zhang Yang got up and said goodbye.

went home to rest for a day or two, and successfully asked for leave from Jiang Mengxue, and Zhang Yang got on the bus to Jiangdong Province.

Three hours later, Zhang Yang came to Jiujiang City, which is located in the northernmost part of Jiangdong Province, known as the "mouth of the three rivers, the thoroughfare of the seven provinces", and the city of the "northeast gate of the Yangtze River", which is an ancient city of Jiangnan civilization with a history of more than 2,200 years.

Guan Lao's old friend's surname is Zhang, who lives at the foot of Lushan Mountain south of Jiujiang City, and when Zhang Yang found the place, it was already getting dark.

It was an old house in the seventies and eighties of the last century, covering a small area, a few fence walls enclosed a small courtyard, planted with some flowers and plants, and a loquat tree that was two people high, and the evening breeze blew, and the loquat leaves rustled.

Zhang Yang stood at the gate of the courtyard, gently pulled the door panel, and said loudly: "Is Master Zhang here? ”

"In, in. ”

I saw the door open, and a gray-haired old man came out on crutches, his face was full of old age spots and wrinkles, and his legs and feet were not good, and he looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old.

His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a fine light.

"You're Xiaoyang, right?" Master Zhang stared at Zhang Yang for a while before he greeted him enthusiastically, "You haven't eaten yet, come, come in and eat something." ”

Seeing his staggering steps, Zhang Yang could only stretch out his hand to help, and the two slowly walked into the old house.

After eating a few bites of coarse tea and light rice, Zhang Yang got straight to the point:

"Master Zhang, I heard that there has been a chalcedony auction in your land recently, what is the specific situation?"

"Oh... That's when I heard from a friend that those chalcedony were imported from Southeast Asia, and they were in very good condition, which should meet Mr. Zhang's requirements. Master Zhang said slowly, "The auction is jointly sponsored by several bigwigs in Jiujiang City, and the night after tomorrow, I will take you there..."

"There's Master Lao Zhang. Zhang Yang nodded in gratitude.

Master Zhang smiled when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "Xiaoyang, this kind of thing is usually taken home by the big bosses as a collection, what are you a young man going to do?"

Zhang Yang groaned slightly, thinking about how to answer.

Chalcedony is the best in jade, has been out of the category of mortals, belongs to the 'heaven and earth spirit treasure', as long as the carving of the Tao pattern, spells, can be refined into a magical effect.

But this is all based on knowing how to carve, otherwise chalcedony is just a piece of beautiful jade with a good hue, and if it falls into the hands of those rich people, it will naturally become a collection with no practical use.

However, of course, Zhang Yang would not say these things, if he said that he was actually an immortal cultivator, and chalcedony was actually just a raw material, and it needed to be polished to exert its effect, he would be treated as a neurotic by Master Zhang 100%.

So, he said, "One of the elders in my family has a birthday, and I want to give him a chalcedony as a birthday gift. ”

"Elder?" Master Zhang frowned when he heard this, and then asked, "Which elder is it? Father or grandfather?"

"Uh..."

was asked like this, Zhang Yang was a little confused, obviously he didn't expect the other party to continue to ask.

This master Zhang's curiosity is still quite heavy, and he doesn't shy away from suspicion when he meets for the first time, and even asks about these private matters. ’

Zhang Yang couldn't help but bow his head, just thinking about how to get around.

"Ahem, I'm talking too much, I shouldn't have asked that. Master Zhang grinned, "I'll clean up your accommodation, you eat first, you eat first." ”

With that, he slowly sat up from his chair and walked into the side room on crutches.

While eating, Zhang Yang looked at Master Zhang's back, and saw clearly by the light that he was wearing a black cloth coat, a dark blue cloth cotton robe, slightly bent on his back, walking unfast, and hitting the ground with a cane, making a series of 'da-da' sounds.

For some reason, looking at this old man who had never known his life, Zhang Yang felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

'Hmm... I guess I'm too tired, I'm thinking too much...'

Zhang Yang shook his head.

For the next two days, Zhang Yang lived in this old house. Although the environment is not very good, it is quiet and quiet, and the pace of life has slowed down unconsciously.

Although Master Zhang's legs and feet are not good, he will play several sets of Tai Chi boxing in the courtyard every day, and his fists are soft and slow, flowing smoothly, just like the style of an old expert.

Zhang Yang sat and observed for a long time, and found that Master Zhang also had signs of internal strength flowing in his body, and in terms of realm alone, it was probably at the level of internal strength Xiaocheng, even worse than Guan Lao.

The two days passed quickly, and in the afternoon of this day, Master Zhang cleaned up the house and took Zhang Yang on the bus back to the city.
