Volume 1: Dragon Yueyuan Chapter 66: Star Exploration
In the noisy and busy streets, people come and go, and it is almost dusk under the moon, but it is still noisy.
On both sides of the street, there are most shops such as jade, which are mixed with some clothing, rouge, jewelry and other shops, and each shop has a white sail in front of the door, on which some surnames are written, it is estimated that it is a business done by large and small families in Xingyu City.
Among them, the most is the word Shangguan, the Shangguan family has been standing in the south of Dongque all year round, and the largest family power in Xingyu City here is the Shangguan family.
It is not for nothing that the Shangguan family is commonly known as the God of Wealth in Dongque, and most of its family industry is rare objects such as jade jewelry.
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, south of Xingyu City is a mountain with a radius of hundreds of miles, the jade produced by this mountain every year is like a sky full of stars, and because of this, the power of the Shangguan family can gradually approach the Nangong family of the Dongque royal family.
At this time, the sky casts a brilliant sunset, reflected on the street, like a thin layer of orange veil.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance, and pedestrians on both sides of the street turned their heads to look.
"You little madman, what are you doing when you have nothing to do lifting people's tables?" After a rush of chickens and dogs, two people hurried from a distance, both of them looked nervous and looked a little frightened.
After a closer look, it was Luo Tian and Luo Ziyao, who had just come ashore from the Cheng River and had not long arrived in Xingyu City, and the other three were not nearby, so they didn't know where they went.
I saw the two of them running desperately, and then there were as many as one or twenty people chasing after them, these people were all Yuan Lian people, most of the people in the crowd were Yuan bodies, only some were Yuan Shi who peeked into the Yuan Realm, Rao is so, this is also a wave of forces that should not be underestimated.
"Who called them so rude. Luo Ziyao's face was nervous, a little annoyed, and said indignantly.
When Luo Tian heard this, a touch of bitterness hung on his face, his legs were still running hard, and he yelled at Luo Ziyao: "Even if you are rude, you can't smash people's stores." ”
"What's the matter, every good thing in the Shangguan family, I'm helping you take revenge. The more Luo Ziyao spoke, the more justified she became, but the expression on her face was still flustered.
"I'll revenge your sister, it's really revenge for me, and the two of us won't be chased by others like rats crossing the street, and we will flee in a panic. The more Luo Tian spoke, the more angry he became, and he really wanted to strangle the troublemaker in front of him to death to relieve his hatred.
The beginning of this farce began with the five of them landing on the Cheng River in the early morning.
After a night of gliding with the boat, it finally arrived at Xingyu City in the south of Dongque when the sky was just dawning.
Two men and three women walked on the streets of Xingyu City, attracting passers-by on both sides to look at Luo Tian and his party intently as if they were watching a spectacle.
Among the passers-by, most of them were men, and looking at Luo Yuyan, Luo Ziyao, and Fang Weiwei, the three peerless beauties, they were unconsciously fascinated.
"Wow! what a beauty!" someone in the crowd exclaimed in a pompous exclamation, which caused everyone to follow in a dazzled manner.
The whole street was blocked by water, and one by one they looked at the three slim girls.
"Isn't this Dongque's famous soul elemental body?" was not just someone in the crowd who suddenly shouted, and suddenly exploded, and the scene instantly boiled and became out of control.
"Yes, yes, yes, I remembered, when I was in the Imperial City Lingwu test last year, I was fortunate to see the posture of the ice beauty, it was really a graceful posture in the sky and in the earth. Someone in the crowd sighed.
"The two beside the ice beauty are also peerless, and it is really worthwhile to see the three fairies descending to earth at once. Someone else exclaimed with envy.
"Eh, who are those two ugly-looking teenagers next to him?"
Hearing this, Luo Tian's eyebrows raised slightly, obviously a little annoyed.
"Eh, little Xuanzi, some people say that you look ugly. Luo Tian looked at Yun Xuan and quipped.
"Oh, why didn't I hear it, it seems that the speaker had no intention of hearing it. Yun Xuan sneered, not caring at all.
Hearing this, Luo Tian had a straight face, and was so sarcastic by Yun Xuan, but he was a little speechless.
"I don't think that little brother with a cold face looks very handsome, he is simply a cool and handsome peerless beautiful man. A woman in the crowd said with a on her face.
"Speaking of which, it's true, it's just that ugly one, I really don't know what kind of face he has to stay in the crowd, it's not ashamed. Another woman said aloud sarcastically.
"Hey, auntie, who are you scolding for being ugly. The more Luo Tian listened, the more angry he became, to the point where he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted directly.
"Whoever talks is talking about whom, what are you doing, it's reasonable to be ugly?" The woman became fierce like a dominatrix, and Luo Tian, who was reprimanded, immediately languished and stopped talking.
"Hahaha, Brother Luo Tian, you also have this day, so that you usually murder me, now you know what it's like. Luo Ziyao looked at Luo Tian with a lost face and quipped, but she was particularly elated.
Luo Tian looked around at the crowd on both sides, all of them cast their eyes firmly on Luo Yuyan's three daughters, and they were fascinated.
Is it so good-looking? Luo Tian couldn't help but think that in fact, when he left the mansion yesterday, he was also so forgetful of himself, but now he laughed at everyone.
Walking to a fork in the road, Luo Yuyan and Luo Ziyao muttered something in a low voice, and after talking for a long time, Luo Ziyao happily pulled Luo Tian away from one of the roads, and the other three walked from the other side.
The two of them wandered around Xingyu City, and when they saw something fun and delicious, they picked it up, but Luo Tian followed him all the way behind, like a bodyguard who would only pay.
"Zi Yao, what did Luo Yuyan tell you just now? Why did you go straight over there. Luo Tian took the opportunity to walk to Luo Ziyao's side and whispered.
"They went about their business, and I didn't think I was bored with them, but it wasn't as fun as we were eating and playing here. Luo Ziyao said, took out a colorful candy in the bag and handed it to Luo Tiandao: "Do you want to eat it?"
Luo Tian looked confused and waved his hand, but he was thinking about what important matters they would deal with when they came to Shangguan's house.
"I heard that there is a good thing to explore the stars here, should we go and have fun?" Luo Ziyao said suddenly, his eyes revealing anticipation, obviously longing for the thing called star exploration in his mouth for a long time.
Hearing this, Luo Tian's face became more and more ugly, and he reprimanded: "Play and play, you know how to play all day long, don't forget what we came out for?"
After listening to the reprimand, Luo Ziyao was obviously a little lost, and looked at Luo Tian with a look of grievance.
"Wait, what are you talking about?What is star exploration?" Luo Tian suddenly thought, he was particularly curious about some new terms in this world, and couldn't help asking.
Luo Ziyao looked at Luo Tian's curiosity, and suddenly felt that there was a play, so she pulled Luo Tian and walked towards the side of the street, and said with a mysterious face, "You'll know when you go." ”
The two walked through the bustling streets to a crowded downtown area, and squeezed into a bejeweled shop.
Luo Tian walked in and found that this place was already overcrowded, and there was no place to settle down, squatting on the ground one by one and looking at the round stones on the ground.
I saw that some people on the side took out a dagger with sharpened iron like clay and slashed at those stones, and the stones were split in two like watermelons, revealing the ordinary appearance inside.
Seeing that there were still stones inside, the people around couldn't help but sigh for a while, shaking their heads and sighing.
Luo Tian glanced at it and already knew what the star exploration in Luo Ziyao's mouth was, it was nothing more than the gambling stone that was often said, and thinking about it, the transactions between the Yuanshi in this world all relied on jade, and where did the jade come from, wasn't it mined from this piece of stone that was not good-looking.
Luo Ziyao walked around the crowd with an excited face at this time, and saw everyone nervously opening the rough stones one by one, and they were disappointed, and they felt very interesting.
"Brother Luo Tian, let's pick a piece and take a look. Luo Ziyao said with an excited face, and pulled Luo Tian to the stall where many rough stones were stacked.
Luo Tian glanced at him, he was a little disgusted with this kind of gambling that relied purely on luck, although the gambling stone also had a certain technical content, but he didn't know anything about it, which was no different from pure luck.
"What do you think of your little brain, this piece of rough stone will cost a full ten green jade coins, whether you can open the jade or not, even if you open it, do you think it can be worth these ten green jade coins?" Luo Tian reprimanded, slowly analyzing the risks inside.
Hearing this, Luo Ziyao looked dissatisfied, looked at Luo Tian with disdain, and muttered in a low voice: "You are a money fan, aren't you reluctant to give up the jade on your body?"
When Luo Tian heard this, he smiled bitterly, and just as he was about to speak, a middle-aged uncle with a smiling face came from the side.
"Are these two nobles from afar?" Hearing this, Luo Tian glanced at the person, a person from a shopping mall, with a round fleshy face supporting the broad body of the middle-aged man, a pair of eyes smiling and squeezed into a thin line, two handfuls of beards on his mouth were shiny, and he was flattering as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Yes, you are the shopkeeper?" Luo Ziyao asked, tilting her head slightly and looking up and down.
"This young lady is the daughter of the family at first glance, not only is she noble, but also very smart. The middle-aged uncle immediately smiled, looked at Luo Tian, and saluted again: "The contemptible surname is Zhao, and the single name is a sonorous character, and the noble person calls me Lao Zhao." ”
When Luo Tian heard this, he thought of Zhao Keng in his heart, I think it's right.
Although he thought about it, he said with a kind face: "Boss Zhao, where did all the stones for your star exploration here come from?"
Seeing Luo Tian's question, Zhao Keng thought about it, the two people in front of him were all noble, and it was obvious that they were Miss Gongzi who came out of the family, but if they could ask such a question, it was not difficult to see that they lacked experience.
"The jade here is all transported from the Yushan Mountain in the south of Star Jade City, and all of them are first-class jade raw materials, and the jade stones that come out are also priceless. Zhao Keng said ostentatiously, with a gleam in his eyes.
"I don't think so, I just looked at several stones that were opened here, but none of them were opened jade, so low probability that someone would be willing to spend money on this. Luo Tian responded.
As soon as Childe heard this, he knew that he didn't come often, this star exploration is gambling to put it bluntly, how can there be a truth in this world that he must win every gamble, but this remark made Childe lose a little bearing. Zhao Keng still had a graceful smile on his face, looked at Luo Tian and said gently.
"Oh? So, I lost my words, and I hope that Boss Zhao will be elegant. Luo Tian smiled.
"Eh, where the son said, he is a guest from afar, not to mention that the two nobles are here, which really makes the store shine. Zhao Keng said a beautiful official language, and glanced at Luo Ziyao again, he had looked at the two of them before, thinking that the two of them just disliked the fact that this place was too simple, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "This son, this place is a place where some idle scholars gather, and the raw materials used to explore the stars are just some vulgar and inferior raw materials, you go upstairs, where are all first-class raw materials, but the price required is a little ......."
After hearing this, Luo Tian immediately understood, and he didn't look at Zhao Keng's expression, so he pulled Luo Ziyao and walked upstairs.
Although Zhao Keng's words did anger him, the reason was more because of Luo Ziyao beside him, since he came out to play, he should have fun, and seeing his interested, he shouldn't let her go back.
Walking to the second floor is still crowded with people, but everyone is only watching and not participating, Luo Tian glanced at the price, and then understood that the first floor needs ten green jade coins, and the second floor is directly doubled tenfold, and a red jade coin is needed.
Luo Tian sneered, looked upstairs, still didn't stop, and pulled Luo Ziyao slowly towards the top floor.
When you come to the third floor, you can only see a sparse crowd, Rao is so many people, Luo Tian walked all the way up to the third floor, and spent a full twenty green jade coins, Rao is so, there are still a large number of Yuanshi gathered on the third floor.
Everyone looked intently at the stones placed on the booth, Luo Tian walked over and glanced at the price of the stone on the third floor, which was ten times higher than that on the second floor, as many as ten red jade coins, which were converted into a thousand green jade coins, which was equivalent to the income of ordinary people for two or three hundred years.
Seeing this price, Rao is Luo Tian was also a little unbearable, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his face showed a trace of shock.
"Brother Luo Tian, ...... you" Luo Ziyao looked at Luo Tian, her eyes were full of embarrassment, and she was stunned.
Hearing this, Luo Tian immediately understood, handed over the only two pieces of red jade left in his arms to Luo Ziyao, and walked to the side.
These two pieces of red jade were brought out of the Qingqiu Emperor's Mansion, each of them was the size of a palm, and there were at least forty or fifty red jade coins when converted.
Luo Ziyao took the red jade, her eyes were shocked, but she didn't expect Luo Tian to be so generous, and without blinking, she took out two large pieces of red jade and handed them to herself.
Luo Tian walked around, and after a long time, no one cut a piece of jade to take a look, everyone was waiting and looking, and they were all observing carefully.
