Finally, the people below couldn't bear it anymore.

A burly man with an exceptionally strong body and a big beard stood up and shouted, "Ge Laozi, is there any end?" You slippery old boy, when will you be able to take out the 'Dark Night Morning Star'? You, Uncle Cao, I'm already impatient! ”

After this "uncle" surnamed Cao took the lead, those who had endured more discomfort than hemorrhoids just now finally rose up one after another. There was another middle-aged man in a stone blue robe and a monkey cheek with a sharp beak, and he said sharply in a sharp voice: "I said that outside the king, the big guys are all people with business, and they can't withstand your toss like this." Business waits for no one, let's come to you all the way once, I don't know how many things have been delayed, how much money is less? You're going to sell that pass, hurry up and take out the 'Night Morning Star' and feast your eyes on our big guys!" ”

"yes, yes, hurry up and take it out!" Everyone in the audience echoed in unison.

Wang Yuan looked outside, why are these people so anxious? His speech was in full swing, and this was about to reach the high-tide part, but it was wonderful later, and he was stopped by this group of people. Wang Yuanwai pursed his lips dissatisfied, but because of so many people, it was not good to really blow everyone's minds, so he could only cry in his heart This wonderful speech that died early before he was born. He readjusted his tone again before he said, "I've kept you waiting." Come on, take out the old man's 'Dark Night Morning Star'. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant girl in a scarlet shirt walked out from behind the four silk beauty screens, thinking that she had been waiting there for a long time. The maidservant carried in her hand an exquisitely crafted brocade box, which contained the "Morning Star of the Night". Xu has been in the same house with Wang Yuanwai for a long time, and the maid's style of behavior is no different from Wang Yuanwai. Seeing that there were so many people gathered outside, especially the fourth prince of Tang who had a big family and a big business, and was handsome, she stiffened her plump chest, and walked out with the "lotus step" she learned from the Baihualou next door, thinking that she was graceful. However, because she was too nervous, she walked and walked, and she turned a little smooth. Fortunately, everyone didn't take her seriously at all, just staring at the brocade box in her hand. Finally, the maidservant placed the brocade box on the Eight Treasures Pavilion in the center of the hall, and Wang Yuanwai then got up and opened the brocade box in the expectant eyes of everyone.

Wow――――

Flash! The Eight Treasures Pavilion is placed in a very clever position, just below the skylight, and there are several hollow flower windows around it. There happened to be a ray of sunlight streaming in through the skylight, and the light from the outside shone in through the sparse holes of the other windows, shining on the Eight Treasures Pavilion together. The "Dark Night Morning Star", which received the baptism of daylight from all directions, suddenly shone brightly and reflected in everyone's hearts! The "Morning Star of the Night" is worthy of being the king of pearls, ordinary night pearls only shine in the dark room, and in the daylight they are just ordinary beads. However, the "Dark Morning Star" can absorb the daylight very well and transform it into its own more dazzling brilliance, which is also the difference of the "Dark Night Morning Star".

Wang Yuanwai watched everyone's reactions with satisfaction: most of them had straight eyes, and some couldn't help but swallow their saliva; There were also some people who wanted to make a disdainful gesture, but the corners of their eyes still glanced at the Eight Treasure Pavilion from time to time. Even the fourth prince of Tang, who was accustomed to seeing the treasures of the world, couldn't help but straighten up and leaned forward on the seat, wanting to see it clearly. Wang Yuanwai secretly has a straight music in his heart, isn't this the effect he wants?

At this time, a voice came from the crowd, and it was the thin middle-aged man who spoke at the beginning. He looked greedily at the "Dark Night Morning Star" and asked Wang Yuanwai, "I wonder if Yuanwai is willing to sell the orb?" If so, I am willing to bid 5,000 taels! ”

By saying this, he reminded all those present that many of them had brought enough money. When Wang Yuanwai heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and replied with a smile: "If you don't sell it, the old man won't sell it." ”

The burly man surnamed Cao snorted disdainfully, and his voice was like a drum: "Hmph, Jin Shopkeeper, this old man thinks you have too little money!" In this way, Lao Tzu will pay 10,000 taels to buy your beads. ”

His wealth and generosity immediately amazed many people in the audience. However, Wang Yuanwai still smiled and waved his hand: "If you don't sell it, you don't sell it......" joke, this jewel is a treasure he used to show everywhere, how can you let you buy it casually?

In this way, everyone present stared at the magnificent treasure, and their hearts were itching. The price has been continuously raised, and it has soared from 5,000 taels all the way to 50,000 taels!

Tang Sigongzi, who was sitting on the side, never spoke. He sat there upright, his expression was still light, and from time to time he took the hand of the girl behind him, took a sip of tea, and ate a mouthful of fruit. Finally, when the asking price reached 80,000 taels, Tang Sigongzi opened his mouth with a smile. He closed the folding fan in his hand and said unhurriedly, "One hundred thousand taels—" However, before everyone could react, they heard him say again: "Gold." ”

The sound of gasping for air came one after another, and even Wang Yuanwai was stunned! 100,000 taels, still gold, which is worth all his family property. The little abacus in his heart snapped, and Wang Yuanwai still smiled wryly, but his confidence was not as strong as at the beginning: "This ...... Old man...... Still not selling, right? ”

Yes, it can't be sold yet, if you hold on for a while, maybe Tang Sigongzi will continue to increase the price. Even if you don't raise the price until the end, 100,000 taels of gold will be a sure win!

Just as Wang Yuanwai was sighing that he could come up with such a "clever plan", a burst of laughter like silver bells came from outside the door, and then he heard a crisp and tactful voice like a ringing bell, and said, "Giggles, it's really interesting." A fake bead is sold for 100,000 taels of gold, it really makes me laugh! ”

Everyone looked out, only to see a purple-clothed girl on a banyan tree outside the hall. The girl sat on the thick branches, her hands holding her sore belly from laughter, her feet in begonia-colored brocade embroidered shoes swaying back and forth, and she grinned at the qiē that happened below. Seeing that everyone was looking up at her, the girl finally stood up, and then jumped lightly, and landed firmly on the ground.

I saw that the girl's complexion was as white as snow falling on the branches, and a little sunlight leaked through the shade of the tree, just shining on her face, reflecting her skin becoming more and more crystal clear. There are autumn waves in the place where her eyebrows turn, and there is a pair of playful pear vortices on her ruddy and crystal lips. Her smile is as clear as a mountain spring, making people feel like a spring breeze, and the whole person is so beautiful. The girl wore a light purple gauze dress embroidered with magnolia patterns, a piece of white jade pinned to her waist, and her long black and shiny hair was held high with a headband, and there was no other decoration. Her face is also powdered, but it makes people feel that she should be so fresh and natural for no reason.

The girl didn't care about the surprised or surprised gazes, and walked to the front of the Eight Treasures Pavilion, pointed to the "Dark Night Morning Star" on the brocade box, and said, "This bead is fake. ”

Her words were accompanied by another gasp. Wang Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the purple-clothed girl with dissatisfaction, and shouted, "Where did the wild girl come from?" How dare you say that the old man's orb is fake, it's just full of nonsense! When the old man saw that you were young and careless, he didn't care about you, so you should leave quickly. ”

"This girl is not a wild girl," said the purple-clothed girl, sticking out her tongue at the king and grimacing, "This girl has a name and a surname, and she never lies. Your beads are clearly fake, and you are delusional in trying to fool yourself and get a good price. This girl happened to be passing by here today, and she couldn't stand it, so she came out to testify against your evil deeds. ”

"You, you, you ......" Wang Yuanwai was so angry that she trembled, you didn't say anything for a long time, but your face was blue and white for a while, and it looked like you were about to faint!

The girl's words immediately caused a commotion. Everyone muttered after hearing this: Is this "Dark Night Morning Star" really fake? It's not like that...... All of you here are connoisseurs of playthings, if it's fake, how can you not see it? This girl is a liar, isn't she? But it's not like it...... You see how harmless this little girl looks, a pair of big eyes blinking and blinking, all of them are sincere light. On the other hand, looking at the fat king, he looks like a cheater. For a while, everyone was confused, who should they believe?

Just when everyone was suspicious, the fourth son of Tang spoke again. He looked at the purple-clothed girl and smiled gently: "Since the girl believes that this bead is fake, please come up with some evidence, so that we can all be convinced." We can't be deceived, but we can't let the king bear the charges in vain. ”

"Yes, yes, let's ask the girl to come up with some evidence!" And they all chimed in, as if the most they had done today was to echo it.

Wang Yuanwai listened to Tang Sigongzi's words, and his pale face finally showed a little blood: "That's right, you should tell me, my 'Dark Night Morning Star', why is it a fake?" ”

"Okay, that girl will open your eyes and see you for a long time today." The purple-clothed girl agreed, and then unhurriedly picked up the "Night Morning Star" in the brocade box and put it in her white jade-like palm. She looked at the orb carefully, put it in the sunlight again, and then said: "There is a cloud in the history books: the 'Dark Night Morning Star' is the treasure of the heavenly family, and then fell into the mortal dust and was obtained by the white puffer fish essence. The guinea fish essence swallows it into its abdomen, exhales it day and night, and cultivates it to a great increase. Then this pearl fell into the hands of the Liao King, and since then the Liao King has won every battle and became the founding emperor of the country. There is a cloud in the "Treasure Guide": "The Morning Star in the Night" is the highest grade above the pearl of the night, and if it is placed in the dark, its light is comparable to the sun, moon and stars. If the sun is placed under the sun, it contains clusters of streamers, tumbling endlessly, like the stars in the sky moving according to their respective orbits. But please look at ......."

As she spoke, the girl held up the bead so that everyone could see the truth: "Ladies and gentlemen, you see, although the luster of this bead is also excellent, but under the sunlight, there is no such thing as the ball of light in the book. ”

Everyone stared at the orb deadly, and sure enough, it was just a translucent bead, and there was any streamer in it. The purple-clothed girl held the beads in her hand, and then said, "Bother the few people who are close to the doors and windows to cover the doors and windows, so that we can see the effect in this darkness." ”

A few people who approached the doors and windows immediately closed the doors and windows, and the room was suddenly completely lit and plunged into darkness. The girl spread out her hand again, and the jewel shone brightly, illuminating the room. However, although this pearl is very bright, the fine pearl of the night can also achieve such an effect, and where is the light comparable to the sun and the moon?

"However, just now we saw that this bead can also shine dazzlingly in the sun, which is definitely not something that ordinary pearls can do." Some people still couldn't believe it and questioned it.

The girl nodded, and explained the man's doubts: "That's right, just now I was sitting in a tree, and I also saw the wonder of the pearl shining in the daylight. This has to admire Wang Yuanwai's thoughts, his decoration of the Eight Treasures Pavilion is really hard work. As she spoke, the girl went over and opened the door, spreading out her palms to place the beads in the sun. Everyone approached curiously, but at this time, the bead did not have the dazzling effect just now.

Everyone was puzzled, and their faces were full of disbelief. Some people even rubbed their eyes and said, "How can this be?" ”

The girl smiled: "The mysteries here are all in the position of the Eight Treasures Pavilion." Wang Yuanwai deliberately placed the beads in a specific position in the Eight Treasure Pavilion, and the beads could refract the sunlight shining from all directions very well, and everyone looked dazzling, as if the beads were shining on their own. ”

At this moment, everyone believed the words of the purple-clothed girl - where is this "Dark Night Morning Star", it is clearly a night pearl that is real and fake.

Wang Yuanwai's face was pale and gloomy again, what was going on? His "Morning Star in the Night" is indeed real! Although he didn't know how it was described in the "Treasure Tongjian", when it was used for lighting at night, it was indeed dazzling, why was it not so bright at the critical moment? Could it be that the beads are shy?

Wang Yuanwai only cared about himself on the side, and the second monk was puzzled, completely unaware of the contemptuous gazes cast by others. The golden shopkeeper in Tsing Yi looked at the girl in purple and asked curiously, "Thanks to the girl today, we will not be deceived by the others." Seeing that the girl is young, but she has such a cultivation, who is the teacher? ”

The purple-clothed girl smiled shallowly: "The family teacher is an unborn master, and she is low-key, and she doesn't want us to report her name everywhere." ”

The golden shopkeeper did not get an answer, so he had to retreat to the side. However, Tang Sigongzi looked at the girl carefully for a while, as if he inadvertently brought it out: "Look at the girl's speech and demeanor are extraordinary, and the teacher is so low-key and mysterious, but is it a person who hides it from Tianshan Villa?" ”

Although he said it lightly, the effect of the words was extraordinary. Everyone present was greatly taken aback—is it a hidden heaven mountain villa? That's a legend! The strength of this concealed Tianshan Villa is not comparable to that of the Tang family. I heard that the owner of the village is a woman, and she acts mysteriously and low-key. Moreover, the owner's martial arts are unfathomable, he knows astronomy, he knows geography, and there are countless rare treasures in the village. No wonder this purple-clothed girl saw at a glance that the "Dark Night Morning Star" was a fake, and it turned out that she was from the Hidden Sky Villa. In this way, the little doubt that was still entrenched in everyone's hearts immediately disappeared.

The purple-clothed girl didn't deny it, she only looked at Tang Sigongzi twice, and smiled a little viciously: "Your eyesight is not bad, why didn't you recognize that fake bead?" ”

Tang Sigongzi spread out the folding fan again, just glanced at the girl, smiled and did not answer.

Everyone didn't notice the strange undercurrent surging between the two, and just left in disappointment. Only the Soul Lost King was left, muttering to himself at a fake bead: "How is it possible, how can it be ......"
