Chapter Twenty-Four: Yuanshi Veins
The sun is on the west mountain, and the clouds are vast and dyed for half a day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info bent Panasonic down, Xiao Jianlong was looking forward to the return of his son, and just when he couldn't help it, Xiao Han strode from afar.
Originally, at Xiao Han's speed, he should have already returned home, but he still brought some hunting things, so he went to the merchant to exchange them for money. More than a dozen demon pills, a green python cow's raw skin, and a few small moonstones, these things made him increase his wealth by dozens of taels.
Seeing Xiao Han return safely, Xiao Jianlong's hanging heart gradually relaxed. When he got closer, he saw a white tiger cub in his arms, covered in blood, and his clothes were a little tattered, so he couldn't help but ask, "Injured?"
Xiao Han put down the little jade Xuanhu in his hand, shook his head and said, "It's just a small injury!" However, I have a few important things to tell you! ”
While speaking, Xiao Han unloaded his equipment and filled the stone table! A large baggage, a small bag, two swords, a water bottle, a map, a jade tiger cub, and a cyan jade pendant taken out of his arms.
When Xiao Jianlong saw the cyan jade pendant at first glance, he was immediately surprised: "Ah! It's Feng Yupei! ”
Seeing Xiao Jianlong's surprised expression, Xiao Han already had a fixed opinion in his heart, so he asked, "Father, is this my aunt's jade pendant?"
Xiao Jianlong took the cyan jade pendant, looked at it and said, "Phoenix-shaped circle, wisp jade heart, little rain, Shengongzi!" Hiss~ah~! This is indeed your aunt's phoenix rain pendant! Where did you get this? ”
Seeing that his father confirmed the true identity of Yu Pei, Xiao Han immediately told Xiao Jianlong that he had been stopped and killed by Liu Hongtai, and that everything such as the follow-up development was word-for-word, and he also guessed the identity of the bones.
Xiao Jianlong was furious when he heard that Xiao Han was forced to be killed by Liu Hongtai and almost died at the hands of King Kong Giant Ape, and immediately said sharply: "Liu family, Liu Hongtai, after this incident, I will make them pay!" …… Han'er, you guessed right, this person is indeed the person your aunt has in mind, named Li Changkong, the son of a local hunter. Many years ago, he had an encounter with your aunt and met in Yangshi Mountain, and the two fell in love with each other as soon as they met, and made a private decision for life. It's just that his family is too poor, and your grandfather can't bear to marry your aunt and suffer, so he set a plan for him to allow him to come to greet him as long as he can take out a hundred gold or cultivate to reach the qi realm. But this condition is too hard for him, and it cannot be accomplished overnight. At this time, your aunt gave Feng Yupei to him, saying that she was willing to wait. Since then, Li Changkong has devoted himself to cultivation, often going deep into the Yangshi Mountain, hunting and saving money, waiting for the day when he can marry your aunt. Alas, alas, once after he entered the mountain, he never came out! And your aunt has become what she is today! ”
Listening to this story, Xiao Han sighed. Although he is only fourteen years old, he is already very mature in Guyang Town, where he can talk about marriage at the age of sixteen. Coupled with the experience over the years, he has a deeper understanding of the word love.
Xiao Jianlong sighed and said, "Han'er, send these things to your aunt!"
Xiao Han nodded, then took the Feng Yu Pei, took Li Changkong's sword, and his bones and walked to Xiao Qingyu's house.
At this moment, Xiao Qingyu was stitching a stitch show, seeing Xiao Han coming in with something in his arms, and just wanted to speak, he saw the Feng Yu pendant on the baggage, and immediately shocked the thorn show, and ran over crying.
Watching her aunt hugging Li Changkong's bones, crying and wailing, Xiao Han understood that any comforting words at this time seemed pale and powerless, and only by letting her vent all the pain in her heart could she slowly persuade her.
Xiao Han was on the side, and after telling the story of Li Changkong's bones found in the crack of the mountain, he walked out, leaving her alone with the lonely companionship of the "two of them".
After walking out of Xiao Qingyu's room, Xiao Han found that his father was playing with the moonstone he had brought back from the crack in Yangshi Mountain. This moonstone was the last one of the few he brought back, and the rest was exchanged by him for the merchant. It's just that he saw his father's face a little strange from a distance, and he couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Father, what's wrong?"
When Xiao Jianlong saw Xiao Han coming back, he grabbed his hand and said excitedly, "The moonstone you said is this stone?"
Xiao Han didn't understand, why his father was so excited when he looked at that moonstone, was it really as he thought, in fact, this was not a moonstone, but another secret? Immediately said, "Yes!" This is the moonstone I found in that crevice! ”
"Wrong! This is not a moonstone, it is a metastone that is dozens of times more valuable than moonstone! The vein you found is very likely to be a vein of metastone! ”
The more Xiao Jianlong spoke, the more excited he became, so much so that he held Xiao Han's arm a little painfully. However, when Xiao Han saw this, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, and asked, "Yuanshi vein?"
Xiao Jianlong saw that Xiao Han didn't know, and immediately explained: "That's right! This stone is a Yuan Stone! The Yuan Stone, on the other hand, is a stone that contains an exceptionally pure Yuan Qi, which can allow martial artists with Qi Realm and above to quickly absorb the Inner Yuan Qi and speed up their cultivation. In Guyang Town, martial artists who have cultivated to reach the Qi Realm will generally practice a kind of exercise to absorb the free vitality in the heavens and the earth and speed up their own cultivation. Like the pure vitality contained in this stone, it is enough to compare to the amount of vitality absorbed by a Qi Refining Realm martial artist for half a month! ”
Listening to Xiao Jianlong's words, Xiao Han was extremely shocked, according to this, wouldn't the existence of this Yuanshi vein rewrite the balance of power in the entire Sun Town! Thinking of this, he asked with some puzzlement: "Since the Yuan Stone is such a valuable item, why haven't I seen relevant records in the family library?"
When Xiao Jianlong heard this, his excitement increased instead of decreasing, and he explained: "Do you know why the green Guyang Town is called the most barren place in the Tianwu Empire? That's because this place is isolated on all sides, the vitality of heaven and earth is thin, it is a place for cultivators to avoid it, and there has been no Yuan Stone in Guyang Town for a long time! Except for a very small number of core members of the family with some background, ordinary people don't know what Yuanshi is! ”
Xiao Han listened to Xiao Jianlong's words, suddenly realized, and at the same time told him that he had exchanged a few yuan stones. When Xiao Jianlong heard this, he immediately asked him to go to the head of the Xiao family and go to retrieve Yuanshi together!
After Xiao Han answered, he hurried to Xiao Zhenyue's residence. At this time, Xiao Zhenyue was eating, and was pulled aside by Xiao Han and told him about Yuanshi. After he listened, he immediately dropped the dishes and chopsticks and ran out with Xiao Han.
In the East Street in the central area of Guyang Town, there is a jade shop called Donglai Pavilion. At this moment, the shopkeeper in the store was studying a few white jade-colored stones, showing a surprised expression from time to time. Looking at the appearance of the stone, it was the Yuan Stone that Xiao Han retrieved from the crack in the mountain.
It was getting dark, and many shops around had already closed, and just when the shopkeeper of Donglai Pavilion also intended to close the door, he saw two people running over in a hurry. These two people are none other than Xiao Han and Xiao Zhenyue.
When the shopkeeper saw Xiao Han and Xiao Zhenyue coming together, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "It turned out to be the head of the Xiao family!" I don't know if it's so late, do you have anything important to do when you come to the shop? ”
Xiao Zhenyue's face was expressionless, and he didn't answer the shopkeeper's words, but turned his head to look at Xiao Han. At the first glance of entering the door, Xiao Han saw the Yuan Stone placed on the counter, he immediately stepped forward to take a look, and nodded at Xiao Zhenyue.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhenyue took out fifty taels of silver tickets from his arms, stuffed them into the shopkeeper, and said, "We won't sell this stone, we have to take it back now!"
The shopkeeper's name is Lin Yuanguang, and he is a member of the Lin family among the three major families. He saw that Xiao Zhenyue's move was a little abnormal, and he immediately understood that these stones were not simple, and said, "Xiao family master, I'm sorry!" These jades have been pre-topped! Forgive the villain cannot be returned to you! ”
Xiao Zhenyue sneered, stepped forward and grabbed those yuan stones, wrapped them up, and said coldly: "This stone is ours, now I won't sell it, and the money will be compensated to you, let's clear the two." Whoever ordered something, if you can't persuade him to give up, then let him go to Xiao's house to find me Xiao Zhenyue! ”
After speaking, Xiao Zhenyue wanted to leave with Xiao Han. Seeing this, Lin Yuanguang hurriedly stepped forward to stop the two of them from going, and said with a smile: "This matter is about the reputation of the store, and the villain can't call the shots." If you really like this stone, will I ask the master of the house tomorrow and send it to you?" ”
"There's no need to be so troublesome, I'll go and talk to the Lin family master in person tomorrow!" As he spoke, Xiao Zhenyue secretly exercised his skills, brushed aside Lin Yuanguang, and disappeared into the night with Xiao Han.
In front of the Donglai Pavilion, Lin Yuanguang looked at Xiao Zhenyue's disappearing back, his face was gloomy, and he hurriedly closed the door of the store, wanting to return to the Lin family and report the matter to the head of the Lin family.
