Boss Xue originally said such a polite sentence casually, and when he heard that the other party gave him an ambiguous answer, he didn't say anything, and smiled and gave the other party a sincere price for handicrafts.

"What?" Boss Xue felt a little hot when he heard this, afraid that this ballast was of any other use, so he kept an eye on it and asked, "Mr. is going to use this ballast device?"

"Nothing else. Zeng Ruiming shook his head and said, "This ballast is not suitable for my use, and my friends around me don't fit it, so I brought it to you to sell, I want to find a suitable buyer for him, so when someone wants to buy him, can I come to you to have a look?" After a pause, Zeng Ruiming remembered something again, and said, "In this way, I will refund you another 30% of the money, you help me with this, what do you think?"

The price of this townware Boss Xue is 150,000 yuan, and the jade that carves the townhouse itself is the best bean seed, plus this process, 150,000 yuan is still sold at a loss, and Boss Xue can sell it for two or three hundred thousand, this person not only does not bargain, but also sticks money, I don't know what he is thinking.

When Li Tianhe heard that, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at Zeng Ruiming's eyes as if he was looking stupid.

Zhou Tong has been recalling what Zeng Ruiming said.

Looking at the qi on Zeng Ruiming's body, he doesn't look like a person who has entered the Tao, but he knows that there is qi on the jade, and each qi will recognize its own master. As I said earlier, jade can not be worn casually, especially second-hand jade, it has been known since ancient times, jade has a spirit, people can raise jade, jade can also feed back to people, the truth of which even some ordinary people who play jade know, but can not see clearly.

This person can obviously understand the aura on the jade.

Boss Xue is still hesitating, you said that you have to let a third party intervene in this sale, he is not bad at such a little profit, and it also affects his reputation, and he feels that it is not cost-effective when he adds it up, and the mood of refusal comes.

Zhou Tong sat there, drinking tea lightly, occasionally glancing over there, without any intention of opening, is this interested in this person or not, is he interested in people or interested in jade? Li Tianhe couldn't sit still, and couldn't help asking: "Zhou Tong, are you optimistic? Why don't we go, there are other shops." ”

"There's no hurry. Zhou Tong said with a smile, and poured Li Tianhe a cup of tea, "It's very elegant here, sit and rest." ”

Li Tianhe: "......"

Take a break, just now he said that when he was resting, Zhou Tong looked at the jade with shiny eyes, and a pair of long legs swung as if they were keeping up with clockwork!

Boss Xue pondered for a long time, put the ballast back again, and said: "Mr. Zeng, we have a small business here, we can't stand such a toss, people want to buy it, and my store still says that it can't be the master, how bad is that...... Otherwise, there are many shops on this street, and you can go somewhere else. ”

"Sancheng can't do it......" Zeng Ruiming lowered his head and muttered, and wanted to lower the price a little more, but thinking that the money for this material would have to be given to his friend after he went back, it was really difficult to press it again. After thinking about it, Zeng Ruiming had no choice but to compromise and hugged the brocade box back, and said with a disappointed face, "Okay, then I'm going to disturb you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Boss Xue hurriedly smiled.

Zhou Tong stood up when he saw the man go out and said, "Let's go." ”

Li Tianhe's cup of tea was just cold enough to drink, and before it was his turn to take a sip, he was called by Zhou Tong and said that he was leaving, his face darkened, Li Tianhe's patience was half gone, Lai Xing came, learned Zhou Tong's previous words, and said with a stalk around his neck: "I'll sit for a while, rest and rest, don't worry." ”

"Okay. Zhou Tong agreed with a smile, "You sit, I'll go out and have a look." ”

Li Tianhe: "......"

Why is this person like this, he doesn't play cards according to common sense at all!

Li Tianhe hurriedly took a sip of tea and was sent out by the boss.

Zhou Tong followed behind Zeng Ruiming, and saw Zeng Ruiming enter another jade shop, and not long after entering, he hung his head and took the things out.

It's no wonder that the merchants don't appreciate it, most of them are the same as Boss Xue's considerations. If you sell something, you have to wait for a third-party person to come and see if you can sell it, isn't this disgusting to the buyer? If the buyer takes a fancy to this artifact, you won't let it be sold, how bad luck is this? So most of them would rather not make this money than lose points in this matter, so what awaits Zeng Ruiming can only be a wall.

Zeng Ruiming walked five shops in a row, and he simply found a comfortable place to sit down, holding the brocade box in his hand and sighing again and again.

Zhou Tong saw that the time was almost up, and took out the jade cabbage from his pocket and suddenly knocked it on the corner.

Yun Xiu: "......???"

Then he went up to greet Zeng Ruiming: "This gentleman, hello." ”

"Ahh Zeng Ruiming was in a daze when he heard the voice and was slightly startled, and raised his head to look at Zhou Tong, "This gentleman ......" he had an impression of Zhou Tong, "It's the one I met in Yiyu Pavilion just now, right?"

"Yes, hello, my surname is Zhou, I don't know what this gentleman is called?"

Zeng Ruiming shook hands with Zhou Tong: "The surname is Zeng." ”

"Mr. Zeng, I saw that you wanted to sell this ballast in Yiyu Pavilion before?"

"yes. Zeng Ruiming sighed and said with a headache, "When I saw that this piece of jade was dying, I thought about carving it into a shape to survive the disaster, but I didn't expect to find a suitable owner, and it is not a way to put it by my side all the year round......" Halfway through speaking, Zeng Ruiming suddenly realized what he said and hurriedly stopped.

Zhou Tong just pretended that he didn't hear it, and said, "Then Mr. Zeng sold me this ballast, what do you think?"

"You?" Zeng Ruiming was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Zhou Tong carefully, and finally showed a touch of joy in his eyes, "Are you really willing to want it?"

"Of course. Zhou Tong said, "According to the price offered by Boss Xue, 150,000." ”

"Okay. Zeng Ruiming was overjoyed, nodded hurriedly, and Zhou Tong said, "But I still have a small matter to ask Mr. Zeng here." ”

"Say what? Zeng Ruiming replied in a very good mood.

Zhou Tong took out the jade cabbage that he deliberately broke a gap and handed it to Zeng Ruiming, and said: "I like this jade cabbage very much, and soon after I got it, I was knocked out by a few children in the family, can you see if you can make it up for me?"

Jade is very expensive, generally speaking, it is very difficult to repair if it is broken, either it is covered with gold and silver or reformed, the better the jade, the more difficult it is to repair, but Zhou Tong believes that this problem is not difficult for Zeng Ruiming.

Zeng Ruiming took the jade cabbage and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said: "The person who carved this jade cabbage is really good, much better than my craftsmanship." ”

Ling Yuan snorted lightly, getting Zhou Tong a roll of his eyes, Ling Yuan immediately held Zhou Tong's hand, Zhou Tong frowned, and gently broke away, but Ling Yuan grabbed it tighter and deliberately scratched it in Zhou Tong's palm.

The numbness suddenly spread to the scalp, the smile on Zhou Tong's face froze, and he turned his head to glare at Ling Yuan, but the other party looked like nothing had happened.

This series of small actions carried out in secret did not escape Li Tianhe's eyes, Li Tianhe looked at the two of them on the street with an expressionless face, and his eyes hurt.

Zeng Ruiming focused on the jade cabbage and didn't notice the small movements of the two, and made a conclusion: "It's also his luck, this small piece that happened to bump is redundant when carving, and I can't say that there is any mystery in this jadeite, fifteen pieces of cabbage leaf petals are enough, and the sixteenth piece can be ground off." Zeng Ruiming looked up at Zhou Tong, his eyes were a little struggling, and finally gritted his teeth and asked seriously, "Otherwise, if you come to my house with me, I can take care of it for you in about two hours." ”

"Thank you Mr. Zeng, the jade will be placed with Mr. Zeng first, Mr. Zeng will leave me a phone number, and I will go to the door to pick it up another day." ”

"This ......" Zeng Ruiming looked at Zhou Tong in a little surprise, "This ice jadeite is in excellent condition, and the carving is so meticulous, it is much more valuable than my ballast, aren't you afraid that I will fool you with a phone call and run away with the jade?"

"Will Mr. Zeng?" asked Zhou Tong with a smile.

“…… No, it won't. Zeng Ruiming said sneeringly, and later felt that he was stupid to ask this question, the other party treated himself openly, and he still thought about the problem with the heart of a villain, which really shouldn't be.

Zeng Ruiming smiled, carefully put away the jade cabbage, and then exchanged phone numbers with Zhou Tong and said goodbye.

Li Tianhe held back a stomach and wanted to ask, but he couldn't speak, and finally asked: "Why did you think of buying this ballast? Who is that person? Do you know it?"

"I didn't know each other just now. Zhou Tong put the ballast away and said, "Now we know." ”

Li Tianhe couldn't help it: "...... You dance gods are talking so mysteriously?"

"yes. Zhou Tong didn't refute it, and generously admitted it.

Li Tianhe: "......"

Back at the hotel, Zhou Tong put the ballast on the desk and looked at it carefully, Ling Yuan leaned his back against the desk, and lightly touched the eyebrows of the beast-like ballast with his fingers, a little fluorescence appeared, very faint, and after a while, it fell silent again, and there was no trace of him, Zhou Tong said: "One hundred thousand thousand, it's too cost-effective." ”

Zhou Tong: "This jade heart is weak, and it has to be raised by someone with aura and fate, and it is worthy of being a person from the Zeng family, and he is very accurate in seeing things." ”

"You know where he came from. Ling Yuan looked like I knew it, grabbed a piece of yellow paper on the table, picked up the cinnabar and wrote something on it, and after a while, a solid Peiyuan talisman that shone with spiritual light was held in Ling Yuan's hand and pasted on the jade heart.

Zhou Tong looked at Ling Yuan in surprise and quipped, "You didn't have this attitude towards these weak things before, the dignified Jade Xuanjun condescended to give a small jade heart to draw a solid Peiyuan talisman?"

Ling Yuan learned Zhou Tong's tone to speak: "The dignified Jade Xuanjun will still '' an ordinary person." ”

Zhou Tong: "......"

Ling Yuan: "Try?"

Zhou Tong: "Don't make trouble, do you think Yun Xiu will understand my intentions." ”

"Eight out of ten will understand, but ten percent will not let you go along with it, that kid, you will repay him, you break his parasite, he will definitely make trouble for you. ”

Zhou Tong looked innocent: "Didn't I give him a better one? ”

"The Zeng family?" Ling Yuan asked, "What the hell is this Zeng family doing? After you met him, you didn't even look for a good jade, are you ten percent sure?"

"Hmm. Zhou Tong said firmly, "The Zeng family has been closely related to jade for generations, and it is said that the Zeng family can feel the aura on the jade body without entering the Tao, and even the jade heart can be seen with the naked eye. Speaking of which, when I was a child, I was fortunate enough to see the Zeng family carving jade with my father once, and I saw the guardian jade spirit of the Zeng family. ”

Thinking of what happened when he was a child, the smile on Zhou Tong's face deepened a little: "I was still young at that time, I didn't recognize it as Yuling, I thought it was a fairy, and pulled my dad to say that I saw a fairy, maybe from that time, my dad realized that my fate of five disadvantages and three shortcomings could not be shaken off." Speaking of which, Zhou Tong's voice was a little dull.

"In that case, you can just cooperate with him directly, why bother so much?" In other words, Ling Yuan usually didn't care who his family was, and it had nothing to do with him, he heard that Zhou Tong's voice was wrong, so he deliberately changed the topic, so as to divide Zhou Tong's heart.

Zhou Tong said: "The Zeng family has ancestral teachings, and they do not carve jade lightly, especially jade used as a magic weapon. You also know that every time the magic weapon plays a role, it comes at the cost of compromising the aura, and the Zeng family loves jade like their lives, how can they carve it lightly?"

"Then he will promise to help you fix the emerald cabbage?"

"Yes. Zhou Tong nodded with a smile, "With Yun Xiu here, he must not be able to help but do it." Don't you think he took the initiative to invite us to his house today?"

Ling Yuan had figured things out completely.

deliberately arouses people's interest, but I don't know what to do behind it, this little villain.

In the evening, Zhou Tong turned on the TV to watch the news, and after watching the CCTV news, he switched to the local news channel to watch it, Ling Yuan was taking a bath, and Zhou Tong was bored listening to the news and playing with his mobile phone.

On TV, the announcer said in a straight voice: "There was another accident in Tianji Construction Group today, an employee accidentally fell from the scaffolding, this is the fifth accident that has occurred in Tianji Construction Group so far, the government decided to temporarily suspend the construction activities of Tianji Construction Group in xx place, and thoroughly investigate the safety issues......"

When Zhou Tong heard this, he glanced up at the TV screen, he remembered that this "Tianji Construction Group" is the construction industry under Zhao Jingshan, and there are projects all over the country, such a big news must have a great impact, Zhao Jingshan actually didn't stop it and let the TV broadcast like this?

was wondering, Zhou Tong saw something on the screen at a glance, he was stunned, but the picture cut to other scenes at the scene, Zhou Tong hurriedly picked up his mobile phone and started the news of Baidu Tianji Construction Group, and sure enough, he found some clues at the scene.

"This Zhao Jingshan is a little capable......" Zhou Tong couldn't help but complain, "This has caused trouble at my own construction site, don't you want to do business? Besides, isn't that body destroyed when it died early, and you haven't given up yet, what is this going to raise......?"

Just as he was muttering, he saw Ling Yuan coming out of the bathroom, his hair had not been dried yet, and his bare feet were wet and stepping on the floor, bringing out the dampness of his body, Zhou Tong had long been accustomed to it when he saw this, and threw the towel hanging at the head of the bed over, "Wipe it clean, I'll blow your hair out." ”

The towel was thrown a little off, and he was hooked on his hand by Ling Yuan's wonderful hand rejuvenation, he wiped his hair a few times casually, and heard Zhou Tong say: "Don't fool me, wipe it well, every time you blow your hair, you have to blow it for a long time, your hands are sore." ”

Ling Yuan: "...... Oh. ”

The other party didn't even look at himself, this careful thinking was seen through, Ling Yuan felt that Zhou Tong was becoming more and more difficult to treat, no, this person was not easy to treat.

After breakfast the next day, Zhou Tong sent a message to Li Tianhe, saying that he went out for a walk, and it was more than nine o'clock when Li Tianhe got up, and Zhou Tong had already arrived at the accident site of Tianji Construction Group, and he couldn't catch anyone, so he simply didn't care, and continued to sleep with his head covered.

Tianji Construction Group has sealed off all the construction sites because of frequent deaths, and Zhou Tong was thinking about how to sneak in, when he heard someone behind him call his name.

Looking back, old friend.

Zhao Han.

The last time I saw Zhao Han in X City was half a year ago, this meeting seems to be a lot taller and more powerful than last time, Zhao Han is wearing a military uniform, the belt tightens the waist, lining the narrow waist and long legs, he saw that the evil on Zhou Tong's face has dissipated a lot, his eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and he smiled: "Zhou Tong!

"Officer Zhao!" Zhou Tong was also surprised, after the accident, he was happy, Zhao Han was here, wouldn't it be much easier for him to get in?

I was also happy to see Zhou Tong Zhao Han, although he is now called an armed policeman, but in fact, he has been transferred to the special department since the tomb last time, this time, some experts saw that there was an evil spirit at work, so he was transferred to deal with the local criminal police here, he came today to step on the point, and was ready to report the investigation to the situation and then ask someone to come and solve it, at this time Zhou Tong was here, and his heart was put down all of a sudden.

Zhao Han looked left and right, lowered his voice and asked Zhou Tong, "Is it unclean inside?"

Zhou Tong did not shy away from it, and nodded: "It was put in a formation." ”

Zhao Han frowned slightly, sure enough, he asked the few criminal policemen who were following him to pull the cordon away and let Zhou Tong in: "Go in first and take a look." ”

"Okay. ”

The three of them entered the construction site together, the puddle of blood left by the fall of the migrant workers on the ground had not yet dried, and the red puddle hung there was a little shocking, Zhou Tong bypassed the blood, walked to the place where the bricks were placed, looked at it for a long time, Zhao Han asked, "Is it weird?"

"Yes. Zhou Tong looked at Zhao Han and said, "Did Mr. Zhao bring a dagger?"

"Brought it. Zhao Han carried a Swiss army knife with him, the blade was very sharp, Zhou Tong didn't take it, and said to Zhao Han: "Please ask Mr. Zhao to donate some blood, a little is enough." ”

Zhao Han didn't ask and cut a hole in his finger according to Zhou Tong's instructions, and dripped a few drops of blood according to the place Zhou Tong pointed to, the blood hung on the surface of the brick, Zhou Tong took out five copper coins from his pocket, and put them around the blood droplets.

As soon as the Five Emperor Qian landed on the stone bricks, he stood on his side, without any external force, and spun rapidly around that drop of blood, and Zhao Han was stunned by the strange scene, forgetting that there was still blood gurgling on his fingers.

There was a light sound, and the first sound was driven by Shunzhi Tongbao, and then the four Tongbao followed closely and resonated, just when the sound reached the same frequency, the drop of blood began to emit black smoke, and clusters of black smoke rolled up, as if it had scorched something, and the stench was so strong that Zhao Han, a specially trained person, couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan didn't retreat, Zhou Tong put away the five emperor coins one by one, revealing the things in the middle, and there was a fat insect with a gray-black body lying limp in the bloodstains, trapped there by Zhao Han's blood and unable to move.

Zhou Tong explained: "This thing is called a line ghost, and it is generally parasitic in the stomach of the silkworm after death, and it lives by absorbing people's yang energy. They absorb yang energy to survive, and their weakness is precisely yang energy. Officer Zhao is a decent person, and your blood is their best nemesis. ”

"It's a joke. Zhao Han smiled modestly, he looked at the insect still struggling without dying, and asked, "Then how to solve this ghost?"

"This is just a matter of not being solved. Zhou Tong said, "I still have to rely on this one to find other line ghosts." ”

"Others?" Zhao Han was taken aback, "This is not the only one here?"

"yes. Zhou Tong's expression seemed to say that Zhao Han was naïve, "The line ghost is such a small one, and the yang energy it absorbs is also limited, and if there is only one, it will not kill so many people frequently." Ghost ghosts are different from animals, they don't have a sense of territory, only a sense of sharing, and people who are marked by one ghost will attract other ghosts, and if the number is not large, it is difficult to suck people to death in a short time. I've heard that five people are dying here in a week, so I'm a conservative estimate...... Well, there are probably hundreds. ”

Zhao Han: "......"

Zhou Tong saw Zhao Han's face change, and patted Zhao Han's shoulder: "It's okay, finding one is equivalent to finding a hundred, this kind of thing is easy to solve." ”

Zhao Han was disgusted when he saw the wriggling flesh worm, clenched the Swiss Army knife in his hand, and looked like he was donating blood with righteousness: "Then let's destroy all these things." ”

"Not right now. Zhou Tong said, "In broad daylight, this is going to make headlines." He squatted down and beckoned to Zhao Han, "There is something to work hard for you, you send someone to find this mark in the construction site." Zhou Tong pointed to the ground under the cover of a few bricks, where a corner of the weird pattern was revealed, and after Zhou Tong moved the bricks away, the whole picture was revealed, the thing was like a formation, one left and one right arc together, very strange.

Zhao Han didn't understand it for a long time, and looked at Zhou Tong with a puzzled expression, asking him to solve his doubts.

Zhou Tong said: "This is the Liangyi Gate, which is used to trap the earth spirit. At the construction site, because the foundation is to be built, the spirit of the earth is vigorous, the foundation is the foundation, is the beginning of all things, pay attention to a condensation. And this Liangyi Gate absorbs this condensation. ”

Zhao Han was still confused, feeling that all the education he had received in the past had been in vain.

Zhou Tong patiently explained: "To put it simply, someone has absorbed the cohesion of the foundation, and after the construction of this place is completed, all the buildings are not very solid, and it is estimated that all of them will collapse in a three- or five-magnitude earthquake." ”
