After buying this "Red Dragon Dragon Tooth" in advance, Zhao Ting also completely lost interest in the upcoming auction of Jianbao Pavilion.

After all, he had also looked at the auction album carefully, and there was nothing else he particularly wanted.

However, he just accepted other people's things at a low price and left after taking the benefits, which was also a little unreasonable, so Zhao Ting had to sit bored in the wing room and watch coldly.

Zhao Si on the side also understood Zhao Ting's thoughts, took an orange from the fruit bowl on the table of the Eight Immortals, gently wiped it a few times with the cuffs of his robe, handed it over with a smile, and said, "Master, eat an orange, according to the villain, this auction will be a long time before it ends." ”

Zhao Ting glanced at the "orange" in his hand with a strange expression, then took it and peeled it off and ate it slowly.

While eating, the two wooden doors of the wing room were pushed open again.

Jiang Ruhai, who was dressed in a green robe, squeezed in, sat beside Zhao Ting with a big grin, and then grabbed a bunch of purple grapes from the table, picked a few and put them in his mouth.

"Ahem," Zhao Ting coughed and looked at Jiang Ruhai, "Done?"

Jiang Ruhai was busy chewing the grape pulp in his mouth, and he didn't make a sound, just nodded.

"Let me ask you, have you also contributed to this 'Treasure Pavilion'?"

"Well, that's right," Jiang Ruhai smiled and stretched out five fleshy fingers, "I'm halfway out, otherwise, with my cousin's little ability, I can't support such a big stall." ”

Zhao Ting also had a plan in his heart, and now that it has been confirmed, he said: "This is very good, I have something to ask you for help from the Treasure Pavilion." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the white dragon tooth that had been hung from his waist like an ornament, and said, "Don't you 'Treasure Pavilion' have many attendants who collect some rare and strange things among the people all year round?"

"So I want to ask you to help me pay more attention, and if I encounter something like this dragon tooth in the future, I must be notified as soon as possible. ”

"Of course, I will never let you 'Treasure Pavilion' suffer a loss, five times, I will buy at five times the price you charged. ”

"How?"

Hearing the words "five times", Jiang Ruhai's fat face was folded, but he said: "Eh, where did Ting Shao say this? Between our brothers, it hurts our feelings to talk about money!"

"No," Zhao Ting waved his hand solemnly, "Brothers also have to settle accounts with each other, not to mention that I asked you to help me do things! Besides, this Jianbao Pavilion is not opened by you alone, if I keep letting you do a loss-making business, your cousin probably won't be happy." ”

"Why should I, Zhao, hurt the peace between your brothers for a little money?"

When Jiang Ruhai heard this, he showed a very "embarrassed" look on his face, and said, "This ...... It seems that this is the only way to go. ”

......

......

After finalizing this cooperation with the "Treasure Pavilion", when the auction was over, Zhao Ting did not stay long, and got into the carriage and went straight back to the Zhao Mansion.

He didn't have the heart to wander around at the moment, and within one day today, he not only found a tenacious aquatic grass, but also got a "Red Dragon Dragon Tooth", Zhao Tingzheng couldn't wait to study these two objects.

Zhao Mansion, South Courtyard.

"Zhao Si, Zhao Si!"

Zhao Ting stood at the gate of the courtyard and shouted with some irritability.

He had only been studying and trying for an hour or two, and had exhausted all kinds of methods, such as knife splitting, axe chisel, door clamping, and even fire, but none of them could damage this green and glowing aquatic weed in the slightest.

This result not only frustrated his idea of "understanding the composition of this aquatic weed", but also deeply hurt his dignity as a man.

An eight-foot-tall man has no way to take a piece of grass, if this is spread, what will others think of him?

At a gray stone wall outside the courtyard, Zhao Si hurriedly ran over and arched his hand: "Master, what's wrong?"

"Go and find the second son for me, just say that I have something urgent to find him!" Zhao Ting ordered.

Ma De, he still doesn't believe it today, he can't do anything about this aquatic weed, is it that his strength is so terrifying that he can break the second brother of the beech wood with one punch?

Zhao Si ran very fast, and his legs and feet were very sharp.

Within a quarter of an hour, he ran back out of breath and replied to Zhao Ting: "Master...... Second son...... The second son is not in the house. ”

"Not in the mansion?" Zhao Ting frowned and glanced at the sky outside the courtyard, "It's getting late, and the city is about to have a curfew, he is not in the mansion, where can he go?"

Zhao Si gasped for a moment, and then said, "Master, I'm really not here!" The people in the West Courtyard said that the second son disappeared early in the morning and has never come back. ”

"Oh," Zhao Ting didn't embarrass him too much, "Okay, that's okay, you can go back and rest." ”

"Yes. ”

After sending Zhao Si away, it soon became dark.

After Zhao Ting casually took a few bites of the dinner sent by his subordinates, he walked out of the south courtyard and walked straight towards the inner courtyard.

When he asked Zhao Ziqi and Wang Yan to say goodbye, Zhao Ting also said in front of Zhao Ziqi by the way, saying that Zhao Tai had not returned to his house yet.

This is not to say that Zhao Ting deliberately sued, but he was really worried about Zhao Tai's safety.

After all, he has now discovered that the world seems to be far from as simple as it seems.

However, after Zhao Ziqi heard about Zhao Tai's "no return at night", he did not rush to send people to look for him in the city, but angrily blamed Zhao Tai for a few words.

It seems that he is also very relieved of Zhao Tai's strength.

Zhao Ziqi is so big-hearted as a father, and Zhao Ting has no choice, so he had to chat with him again and then get up and leave.

Large families are good everywhere, except for the mansion, which covers an area of a somewhat large area, and it is more laborious to walk.

From the inner courtyard where Zhao Ziqi lived to the south courtyard where Zhao Ting lived, there was not only a long corridor between the two courtyards, but also through a rockery and through the Tingxin Lake.

It took a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.

The moon came out a little late tonight, and its shape was like a hook and sickle, and the moonlight was not as bright as before, but foggy. It seems that a layer of white hair has grown on the surface of the moon, covering the original charm of Yuehua.

Unconsciously, Zhao Ting had turned around the long corridor in the mansion and came to the covered bridge by Tingxin Lake.

The gray moonlight slanted on the ground covered with black stone bricks, and the bridge was pale and white.

On the two black pillars at the corner of the bridge, a big red lantern is hung on each, which is emitting a seeping shimmer outward.

"Hey, it's a little cold, it looks like I'll have to add two more clothes when I come out at night in the future. Zhao Ting wrapped his robe tightly and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"Huh?"

As he was walking, on the three bluestone steps near Tingxin Lake under the bridge, a tall and thin black shadow suddenly appeared in Zhao Ting's sight.

"Who is this?" Zhao Ting muttered to himself in his heart, "It's a big night, standing so close to the lake, aren't you afraid of falling?"

Seeing this black shadow standing there with his hands behind his back and not moving, Zhao Ting couldn't help but look at it twice, and reminded: "Who is standing there? This Tingxin Lake is very deep, don't ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, the black shadow slowly turned around, but the movement of turning seemed to be a little stiff, like a beginner who had just learned to walk.

"You...... Little Tai?"

With the light oozing from the red lantern hanging on the pillar, Zhao Ting saw at a glance the appearance of this black shadow, which was his second brother Zhao Tai.

However, I don't know if it's because of the lights or an illusion, Zhao Ting always feels that Zhao Tai's face is a little pale, so white that it's not normal.

Well, it's a bit like the complexion of a living person.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ting stood on the bridge, looked at Zhao Tai by the lake condescendingly from a distance of three or five meters, and asked, "When did you come back?"

Zhao Tai stood there and was silent for a long time, and after the slightly white eyes turned counterclockwise in the eye sockets, his blue and purple lips closed one by one and said, "The jade pendant left by my mother was left by the lake, and I haven't found it here for a long time." ”

"Big brother, can you come and help me find it?"

“......”

"Find a hammer so late!" Zhao Ting was a little speechless, "Look at this black light, you may not be able to find it for another two hours." ”

"Listen to the eldest brother, go back to sleep quickly, and when it dawns tomorrow, isn't it better to call a few more people to find it?"

Zhao Tai was silent again when he heard this, and after a moment, he spoke in a low voice, with a hint of begging in his tone: "This jade pendant is very important to me, it is the only relic left to me by my mother, if I don't find it, I can't rest assured no matter what." ”

As he spoke, he moved slightly towards Zhao Ting, "You can come and help me!"

Zhao Tai's move, Zhao Ting's pupils suddenly contracted suddenly, and his face instantly became serious.

Through the dim moonlight, he clearly saw that where Zhao Tai's left foot was standing, there was a puddle of water stains in the shape of shoe prints, and the amount of water stains was not small.

Zhao Tai has just been in the water?

Didn't he say that he was naturally afraid of water?

Doubts rose in his heart, Zhao Ting took another look, and saw that the pale "Zhao Tai" under the covered bridge was staring at himself with those mostly white eyes.

Fang Cai was still caressing the breeze on the lake, and he stopped at some point.

Not a single sound could be heard in the air at this time, as if it was suddenly in a vacuum.

It's scary!

Zhao Ting's back gradually climbed up with a hint of bone-chilling coolness.

At this moment, the white dragon tooth that hung on Zhao Ting's waist and was shaped like a dagger suddenly became slightly hot, and even through his clothes, Zhao Ting felt a scorching breath.

Like, the dragon's teeth were warning him.

"Big brother, help me. ”

"Help me. ”

The hoarse sound of fingernails rubbing against a blunt object sounded again.

Zhao Ting looked up again, and saw that he didn't know when, the "Zhao Tai" who was still under the bridge had already used a strange posture to drag his slightly stiff body and walked to a place on the bridge that was only one meter away from Zhao Ting, leaving a road of water stains of different sizes behind him.

The pair of wet arms, which were also glowing white, slowly stretched out from the sleeve robe of "Zhao Tai" and grabbed Zhao Ting's shoulders.

"Help me. ”

In the face of this situation, no matter how high Zhao Ting's IQ is and how meticulous his logical thinking is, he can't calm down.

His left hand couldn't help but clench the hot dragon tooth on his waist, stabbing it out as a dagger, and roaring angrily, "I'll help you be paralyzed!"

Under the crisis of life and death, Zhao Ting even used the strength to eat milk, and the dragon teeth stabbed "Zhao Tai" in the abdomen accurately and ruthlessly.

It's just that as soon as the front tip reached about a centimeter of "Zhao Tai's" abdomen, a thin layer of black light quickly surfaced on its body, which was oval-shaped, like an eggshell, protecting "Zhao Tai" inside.

However, what is unexpected is that this seemingly miraculous black light, as soon as it comes into contact with the dragon's teeth, it is like water melting and snow melting, and a black hole the size of a finger is poked out by the dragon's teeth.

"Hmm......"

"Zhao Tai" snorted, covered his abdomen and hurriedly stepped back a few steps, and a large area of dark green blood flowed out of the wound he was holding and spilled on the bridge deck as if a car had leaked oil.

His eyes, which had no trace of emotion from beginning to end, finally had an incredible look at this moment, as if he didn't understand, why could Zhao Ting hurt him?

"Eh, it works!" Zhao Ting's eyes lit up, and then he slowly approached with the dragon tooth in his hand, "The blood is actually green, tsk, it's very anatomically valuable!"

“......”

"You ......" looked at Zhao Ting and smiled evilly, and a look of fear welled up in the eyes of "Zhao Tai", "You...... Don't come...... Ah~"

Extremely frightened, it couldn't care about the wound in its abdomen, and used its hands and feet together, crawling along the bridge and jumping into the Tingxin Lake.

At the moment when it entered the water, Zhao Ting, who had been staring at it, saw it clearly, this guy actually turned from the image of "Zhao Tai" to a pool of human-shaped water stains in an instant, and merged with the lake water.

As the ripples spread out layer after layer on the surface of the lake, Zhao Ting's ears suddenly "buzzed"! It seemed to break through the ice and surface.

The wind by the lake is back.
