Chapter 49: Introduction to the Black Market
Mu Yao glanced at Zhuge Lan, a little curious, "Black market? ”
"Our black market here is different from other places, it's not a secret business," Zhuge Lan threw a pastry into his mouth, and his tone was mixed with a bit of pride, "The history of Wolong City is very long, and our Zhuge family likes to collect antiquities, for hundreds of years, this place is very famous in the eyes of collectors, and every year and a half, there will be a few days of antiquities carnival." ”
Mu Yao listened with great interest, urging her to continue, "Since it's a festival, how can it be called a black market?" ”
"It's an ancient custom, and the trade fair is held at night, because the threshold of the trade fair is quite high, and if you don't grind in the collection circle for a few years, you can't step into it at all, so it will be spread by the good deeds and spread the title of the black market;" Zhuge Lan swallowed the pastry in his mouth and spread his hands disdainfully, "There will be some relatively rare master relics in the ordinary black market at most, and they can't be touched at all related to the ancient monks, compared with our three-day trade fair in Wolong, there is one heaven and one underground. ”
Ancient monks? Mu Yao's eyes lit up slightly, and he became even more curious, today's cultivation civilization is prosperous, and it is improving all the time, and the exercises of the ancient monks are naturally not as advanced as the current world, but because of the simplicity, some of them are directly aimed at the source, and some of them are extremely sought-after, and they can easily fetch a high price at the auction, as for the more precious, it is the elixir spirit treasure left by the ancient monks, the big waves and sands, everything that can leave a branch and a half leaves, is the essence of the essence, usually only circulated in the circle of more advanced monks, and ordinary people have no chance to see it at all.
"This year's fair is in the City God Temple, and tomorrow night, antique dealers and collectors from all over the world will come one after another, and only in these few days will Wolong City be flooded with foreign forces in large numbers." Zhuge Lan chattered endlessly, secretly glanced at Qu Rongrong, who was not paying attention, and unconsciously turned his head to look at the Qingli girl.
Mu Yao nodded slightly, took a few steps forward, and stopped in front of Qu Rongrong, who had been spinning in circles, only to see her bow her head in a daze, without saying a word, almost subconsciously turning sideways around the person in front of her.
"Rongrong, regret the past, it's better to cherish the present," Mu Yao took her hand and said slowly, looking at Qu Rongrong who looked up blankly, a sad smile appeared on her face, "I once had a friend, very ordinary day, I agreed with her to go out together, but she had to put it on hold for a while because of something at home, no one paid attention to it at that time, anyway, wouldn't we be able to go out together in a few days?" ”
She looked at the void, her tone was light, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her, Qu Rongrong listened, only to feel that her heart suddenly pinched, and the remaining two were also silent, everyone understood that she would tell it solemnly, and it would definitely not be a good ending.
"Then in just a few days, everything turned upside down, I and she have been strangers from the end of the world since then, no matter how simple the agreement is, she will not come to me to make it happen," she suddenly lowered her head, stared at Qu Rongrong tightly, and said earnestly, "This is the unpredictable world, you ignore us today because of an absent person, in case tomorrow, which of us suddenly has an unforeseen disaster, you regret it for the rest of your life, we will not forgive you!" ”
Qu Rongrong's lips opened slightly, and he suddenly felt that his empathy was a bit idiot, obviously the beginning was so sensational, so genuine, and the heart of the stone could be melted, but at the end, he actually threatened people with cursing himself, and the end was so fresh and refined, it made people lose all their trust at once, and it was even better than picking out half a worm from their favorite meal, and they could vomit blood.
She held Mu Yao's hand and squeezed it suddenly, and said word by word: "Can't you finish this story well?" ”
"It hurts! Hurt! Hurt!! ”
Mu Yao screamed in pain, desperately pulled out her hand, and looked at the back of her purple hand, she was indignant, "Isn't what I said the truth?" Everyone has a time when they come to disaster, luck is destined, you ......"
"If you're swept away by a strong wind tomorrow, I'll definitely give you a round of applause." Her mouth was covered by Zhuge Lan, who was approaching, and Zhuge Lan looked at her with a smile, and his tone was extremely sincere.
Mu Yao smiled and broke her hand, shook her head regretfully, walked straight back to the stone table, took a cup of tea and drank it all, then looked at Qu Rongrong and smiled, "It seems that you will definitely accompany me tomorrow night, I will leave first." ”
She turned around and walked back to her room, Qu Rongrong and Zhuge Lan looked at her back, looking at each other, for a long time, Qu Rongrong pouted, "This guy, how can he talk is always a little true and a little false, I will always be wrong, I thought it was true." ”
Zhuge Qin shook his head with a smile, with a hint of pampering in his eyes, "Whether it's true or not, she is really worried about you, but the way she cares about people is not very understandable to ordinary people." ”
"You don't need to tell me!" Qu Rongrong gave her a fierce look, walked back to the side room, and closed the door with a bang.
Zhuge Qin sighed slightly, and glanced at Zhuge Lan, "Ah Lan, you go to the front hall with me." ”
"Big brother, can I not go?" Zhuge Lan was stunned, she didn't like to socialize, and her eldest brother rarely asked her to accompany her on weekdays, how did she change her sex today?
Zhuge Qin turned around leisurely and said without refusal: "It's someone from Kunpeng Company, and you will naturally solve the basket by yourself." ”
When Zhuge Lan heard this, he had to collapse his face, followed behind him with an oh sound, and mentioned the spirit of the twelve, the eldest brother suddenly became nervous, she couldn't be careless.
So in the next two days, Zhuge Lan followed her eldest brother in dire straits, Qu Rongrong didn't have the heart to take Mu Yao to wander, the two of them were doing their own things leisurely, while anxiously waiting for the progress of things, until the next evening, Qu Rongrong's trio met again, plus Zhuge Qin, the four of them walked out of Wolong Mountain with a smile.
Obviously, Mu Yao's persuasion still worked, Qu Rongrong was still worried, but he never let his whole person fall into a negative mood, except for occasional frowning, almost completely returned to his usual state, and the other people were very happy in their eyes.
The four of them each received a mask at the entrance of the temple, and then walked through a mist at the entrance and entered the temple.
The temple is very lively, all kinds of people gather, antiquities dealers according to the convention in three circles outside the three circles of the whole square to spread the whole square, the antiquities in each circle from low to high arrangement, the most precious nature is the most central small piece, almost everything can set off a burst of bidding, as if it has become a small auction house, most of the peripheral are tattered groceries, occasionally mixed eyes, it takes excellent eyesight to see through its leaky camouflage.
"For collectors, picking up leaks is the proudest thing, so there are far more masters on the periphery than in the inner circle, and most of the people in the inner circle are people from various forces, and their target is the treasure that has already appeared." Zhuge Lan looked at it and analyzed it with Mu Yao, obviously having a lot of experience.
