Volume 1: The Beginning Chapter 9: Strange Stories
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and everything around was a little mysterious, and in an underground secret room, through the dim candlelight, there were two people standing facing each other, one of whom was forty or fifty years old with red hair and red eyebrows.
On the opposite side stood a young man of seventeen or eighteen, with a jade back and a slender body, wearing a lilac brocade robe, with some fire patterns on the robe, and a red jade plaque hanging from his waist.
Looking at his appearance is almost demonic, I saw that the strand of purple hair slowly drooped down his cheeks, the sword eyebrows stood horizontally, the cold and arrogant eyes seemed to have no focus, the dark eyes were full of calm, and if he looked more carefully, there was a faint purple light in his eyes, which looked a little demonic.
"Is it all done?" said the red-haired man, his tone calm.
The purple-robed man standing on the opposite side was speechless for a long time, bowing his head slightly, and his cold face did not carry a trace of normal feelings.
"Are you deaf?" the red-haired man scolded, a little annoyed.
Hearing this, the purple-robed man raised his head slightly, staring at the red-haired man, his eyes were empty and deep, and there was still no expression on his face, "What does my father want me to say?"
The red-haired man's expression became more and more ugly, but he was helpless, "Hmph, is this your attitude when talking to me?"
The purple-robed man glanced at the flickering candlelight in front of him, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he was even more evil, and still said in a cold voice: "Your method is not good, it is easy to be used."
Debunking, rather than failing, is better not to do well. After speaking, the corners of his eyes were deep, staring at the red-haired man.
The red-haired man, swinging his sleeves, obviously unable to justify his words, his face slowed down, and asked: "Then what do you say, the opportunity is right in front of you, a godsend." ”
After hearing this, the purple-robed man pursed his lips slightly, and smiled contemptuously: "A hungry wolf and a tiger meet a fat sheep, and the wolf and the tiger both say that they can't eat sheep, who will the sheep believe?"
After hearing this, the red-haired man thought for a while, and then laughed and said, "This is very good, and this matter will be left to you." ”
"By the way, does Heng'er have any news in the Dawn Realm?" the red-haired man asked.
The purple-robed man was originally expressionless, but after hearing this, his eyes revealed a trace of cruelty, extremely vague, and said calmly: "There is no news, according to his personality, don't cause anything." ”
After hearing this, the red-haired man sighed slightly, his face was a little anxious, but he didn't know what to say.
"In addition, it has been a few days since the Qingqiu Emperor's Mansion opened, and everything that should come and shouldn't have arrived is almost here, don't you want to get a piece of the pie?" the purple-robed man quipped.
"I'm still waiting," the red-haired man looked to the side and spat out slightly.
At this time, I saw a purple-robed man, stretching out his palm, swinging slightly from side to side, and every time he swung, the candle flame in front of him swayed left and right.
Suddenly, a fierce light appeared in the purple-robed man's eyes, and he squeezed out a sentence, "Luo family." With a clenched fist, the candles in the room were extinguished.
At noon, the perimeter of dawn
At this time, Luo Tian was standing in an open space, looking at his blood-stained hands in a daze, looking around him, there were several corpses of wild beasts lying scattered, but most of them were fierce wolves.
At this time, there was a commotion in the grass in the distance, and in a moment, a black shadow jumped out of it, galloping towards Luo Tian, Luo Tian didn't seem to notice, still stunned in place.
When the black shadow approached, Luo Tian was still unmoved, the black shadow was a little puzzled, secretly sighed, turned his fist into a palm and blasted towards Luo Tian's back.
In a moment, the black shadow's palm was about to touch Luo Tian, only to see the corners of Luo Tian's mouth rise slightly, and quickly moved two steps to the left, the black shadow's palm was empty, and when the black shadow was surprised, Luo Tian quickly grabbed the black shadow's arm, and smashed it forward with a loud shout.
The black shadow smiled slightly, and following Luo Tian's strength, he turned over and went around behind Luo Tian, stretched out his left foot and kicked it fiercely, Luo Tian hurriedly avoided it, and was almost kicked.
The corners of Luo Tian's mouth showed a hint of provocation, the black shadow saw this, and he was not angry, he rushed up, you punched me and I kicked and fought, only to see that the black shadow was another flying kick, Luo Tian had a smile in the corner of his eyes, and was about to flash to the left, but what came to him was a punch, which hit Luo Tian's chest firmly.
Luo Tian was taken aback, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Luo Tian looked at the black shadow and said angrily: "Big brother, you use yin tricks, and you can't win." ”
The black shadow is Cheng Xiong, I saw that Cheng Xiong was smiling very happily at this time, and quipped: "Isn't it martial arts to win? This is called a soldier who is not tired of cheating, you have to learn to be smart in the future, don't think that people have tried, and they will use it again next time, maybe it will lie to you." ”
Luo Tian sat on the ground, and he was not in a hurry to get up, thinking that Cheng Xiong didn't kick his own kick, it turned out that he was deliberately selling a flaw to himself, and the next time he used this trick, if that fool still wanted to use the same method to dodge, he would suffer a big loss just like himself.
Thinking about learning something new again, I don't get angry, but I am very happy.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiong nodded secretly and said with a pleased smile: "Brother Luo, eldest brother is really honored to make friends with a brother like you." In just three days, you have broken through to become a fifth-order elemental body, and in the future, I am afraid that the entire Dongque will tremble when they hear your name. ”
After hearing this, Luo Tian's heart was also very happy, and he thought to himself, is it just Dongque? I want to make the entire Yuan Zhou tremble when they hear my name.
I don't know where Luo Tian got this confidence. The two hooked their shoulders and walked into the distance, Luo Tian suddenly thought of something, turned his head and smiled: "Big brother Fangcai's words, it has nothing to do with my family background!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiong laughed a few times and said with a serious face: "Of course...... It's kind of related. The latter paragraph was said very quietly, but Luo Tian could hear it, and he didn't pay attention to it, and the two laughed and disappeared into the forest.
At night, when the moon is in the sky, everyone raises a bonfire, laughs and talks about drinking wine and eating meat, so happy.
Kong Xiu sat on the side, without saying a word, suddenly remembered something, and said with a slightly nervous face: "Big brother, the dawn realm has not been very peaceful in the past few days, and there have been many scattered foreign scholars from Dongque and Nanqiu for a few days in a row, and some people look like they are in a big family from the perspective of their clothes, but they all come to this dawn realm without knowing anything. ”
Hearing what Kong Xiu said, Cheng Xiong was also puzzled, and sighed slightly: "Now that the past few years have become more and more unpeaceful, I am afraid that there will be some treasures in the Dawn Realm, which will attract many forces to chase after him." ”
Hearing this, Luo Tian was also suspicious, licked his lips, and said with envy: "What are the treasures of heaven and earth that the eldest brother just said?"
On the side, Cheng Wei showed disdain, and said exaggeratedly: "I said Brother Luo, you are also from a big family, can you not be so unambitious, don't be seen by others, don't say that you are from the Luo family, it has tarnished the reputation of the Luo family." ”
Luo Tian looked at the black fat man, only rolled his eyes, and said aggrievedly: "I just asked, and I don't plan to rob it, I have amnesia." As he spoke, he became a little more reasonable.
"Yes, yes, you've got amnesia, you're the biggest, okay, don't have the same knowledge as you. As he spoke, Cheng Wei ran to the side and drank alone, obviously being beaten by Luo's weather.
Kong Xiu and Cheng Xiong on the side saw this, and they both smiled from ear to ear.
Cheng Xiong finished laughing and said with a serious face: "This so-called treasure of heaven and earth refers to 'Yuan Dan', 'Yuan Ji' and 'Yuan Weapon', followed by some precious jade or some other rare magic weapons. ”
In this way, Luo Tian understands, Yuan Dan, he has seen and eaten it, and when he recast the acupoint, he got a Shiqing Dan from Kong Xiu that he had treasured for many years and used to mutilate himself.
As for this Yuan book, I have never seen it, but I know it is extremely precious from Cheng Wei's mouth.
And this element and jade are also poorly understood.
Seeing that Luo Tian was thinking for a while, Kong Xiu smiled slightly: "This Yuan weapon is a powerful weapon refined by some refiners, it is sharper than some ordinary weapons, and sometimes it can be integrated with the Yuan Shi used by the mind, and the power is more significant, compared to these mortal irons we use, but I don't know how many times better." ”
When Luo Tian was about to ask, Kong Xiu waved his hand again and again and said: "Don't ask again, what is the specific, we haven't seen it, we can only say a rough idea, when you return to the family, you will naturally understand." ”
Luo Tian had no choice but to give up, and continued to ask: "Then what is the use of this jade? Ordinary people are just good-looking, after all, in their own time, jade was mostly used as jewelry. ”
Hearing this, Kong Xiu smiled: "There are many benefits of jade. As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade, Luo Tian took it and put it in his hand, this piece of jade emitted a faint green light, and it was polished into the style of a copper coin, which was not much different from what he had seen in his time.
Seeing that Luo Tian was still frowning, Kong Xiu continued: "The first function of this jade is the money between the Yuanshi. Generally, mortals do business to make a living, and most of the transactions between them are some gold and silver and various gemstones, and we Yuanshi also need to trade, that is, these jade stones in your hands, commonly known as jade coins. ”
Luo Tian was also deeply surprised when he heard this, and thought to himself, did I borrow a corpse to return my soul to China four billion years ago? What is this?
Kong Xiu said with a smile: "This jade coin is also high and low, just like the jade coin in your hand that exudes a faint blue light, called the green jade coin, don't underestimate this green jade coin, he is in Weiming City, but he can exchange it for a particularly expensive banquet, and he can't earn this green jade coin after half a year of hard work." ”
After hearing this, Luo Tian was shocked, vaguely stuffed the green jade coin in his hand into his chest, and hurriedly asked, "How do you divide the high and low?"
Seeing this, Kong Xiu pretended to be annoyed, snorted coldly, stretched out his palm, and did not speak. Seeing this, Luo Tian smiled and took out the green jade coin on his chest and handed it to him.
Kong Xiu continued: "You also know the value of this green jade coin, and what about it, we call it a red jade coin, which is very understandable, you can see it by looking at the jade plate on your chest." ”
Hearing this, Luo Tian immediately took out the jade plate engraved with the word 'Luotian', and saw that the jade plate glowed with a slight red light, which was indeed very similar to the green jade coin just now, but it was smoother and more delicate, and the gloss was higher.
"Could it be that this is what it is?" Luo Tian looked suspicious, and he didn't confirm until he saw Kong Xiu, who nodded slowly.
"Your jade plate is made of red jade, but it is much more valuable than red jade coins, of course, the two cannot be confused, your jade plate represents your status and your family background. This red jade coin can be exchanged for a full hundred green jade coins. ”
After Kong Xiu finished speaking, he looked at Luo Tian who was surprised on the side, Luo Tian was already speechless in shock at this time, and looked at the jade card again, and carried it like a treasure.
Kong Xiu smiled slightly and continued: "On top of it is the purple jade coin, which also has the same characteristics as other jade coins, and the conversion value is also the same. It's just that this Dongque is extremely rare. Precious. ”
"What about the other uses of this jade?" Seeing that Kong Xiu was just talking about money, he talked for a long time, and seeing that the sky was gradually getting dark, when would he be able to finish speaking, he hurriedly urged.
Kong Xiu still said slowly and unhurriedly: "This second use is the life card in the big family, and the third use is also the Tianqi Soul Jade used exclusively in the big family, I am not familiar with these two, I have heard others say something, but they are not real, when you return to the family, you will naturally be able to understand." ”
After listening to this, Luo Tian only felt bored, how could he talk halfway through, and he was interested in appetizing.
After thinking about it, this world is really very mysterious, not only for the human body, but also for all kinds of wonderful things, and from time to time I feel more curious, and I am more hopeful about the path I want to take in the future.
