Chapter 298: Encountering an Old Woman
Zhu Shuai thought that what his mother left for him was just a simple jade pendant for decoration.
I didn't expect that now it has become a hoodoo that everyone is afraid of.
What kind of secret is hidden in this jade pendant?
Where is his mother?
Zhu Shuai felt that he was about to collapse, if anyone knew the secret of the jade pendant now, Zhu Shuai would definitely pull it out without hesitation and torture him!
But no!
Except for Wei Shuo, no one knows!
Zhu Shuai fell on a stone at the corner of the street in despair, and his heart was extremely depressed.
"Zhu Shuai, forget it! Brother Wei Shuo said that our current strength can't touch that huge force, and when we are stronger, let's do it again!"
Looking at Zhu Shuai's appearance, Morey couldn't bear to persuade him.
"That's all we can do! Let's go back to the inn first! Come out tomorrow to try our luck, if that's the case, we can only go back to Haicheng first!"
Zhu Shuai lowered his head and said dejectedly.
"Do you need anything, two guest officers?"
At this moment, an old woman's voice came from the side.
Zhu Shuai looked up and saw that it was the owner of a shop on the street who spoke.
She looked to be in her seventies, with gray hair, a few missing teeth, a wrinkled face, and a black mole on her chin.
However, her eyes are still very bright, and the brilliance in her eyes does not seem to match her age.
This old woman might know something.
Zhu Shuai is now in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and he wants to ask anyone he meets.
Standing up from the stone, Zhu Shuai walked into the old woman's shop and took a general look.
In the old woman's shop, all the jade products are sold, including bracelets, necklaces, and jade pendants.
It's just that the jade on it has a dull luster and messy texture, and it is not a cherished jade at first glance.
"Old man, how long have you been living in this Southern Holy City?"
Although the things sold by the old woman are inconspicuous, her age is here after all, and she should be more aware of the past.
"I can't remember exactly, I've lived here since I was a child, and I've lived as long as I've been!
The old woman's dry palm swept over her goods.
"Old man, these things are not very good in texture! I want to buy some good ones, do you have glass jade to sell here?"
Zhu Shuai took the opportunity to say what he wanted.
"Glass jade?"
Listening to Zhu Shuai's words, the old woman's face also floated with a sense of solemnity.
However, she did not kick the two out of the store like the other bosses, but carefully looked around left and right, and quickly closed the door of her shop.
"Silly boy! Liuliyu is no longer there, and even if there is, you can't ask around like this, it's going to lose your head!"
After closing the door of the store, the old woman gently patted Zhu Shuai's chest and said seriously.
"It seems that the old man knows something about Liuliyu, can you tell me about it!"
Zhu Shuai quickly became excited.
I finally met someone who knew something inside.
"It's inconvenient here, you come with me!"
The old woman said, turning around and approaching a curtain at the back of the store.
Zhu Shuai and Morey hurriedly followed.
Behind the curtain is a small room.
There was only about five or six people standing in the room at the same time, and nothing was placed in it.
After Zhu Shuai and Morey entered the room at the same time, the room began to descend.
It took a few minutes for the room to come to a slow stop.
And the scene in front of them made Zhu Shuai and Morey open their mouths in an instant.
Outside the room, there is an underground cave with several wide and narrow sheets, and many solid wood shelves are placed in the cave, which are hung with all kinds of precious jade, which are dazzling, colorful and eye-catching.
The jade in it, if it is taken out and sold, I am afraid that people will snatch it up.
"Come in, let's talk about it here!"
The old woman said a word, and walked out of the room first, and sat down on a seat in the underground cavern with a hobbling step.
Zhu Shuai and Morey followed her closely and sat aside.
"What's the matter, the jade I have here is much stronger than the one above!"
"It's not that I don't have good jade, it's just that the relationship in the Southern Holy City is extremely complicated, and I don't dare to sell these jade stones easily. ”
The old woman said slowly.
"Why? Isn't the Nansheng Mountain Range rich in jade? There are high-quality jade, why don't you let them be sold?"
Zhu Shuai was very puzzled.
Those jade people are working hard to find all kinds of precious jade, just to exchange them for money, live a better life, and not let people sell them, what is the reason.
"Hehe, children, you are still young, and you have not experienced many dangers in the world. ”
"On the surface, the Southern Holy City looks peaceful, but in fact, secretly, every day there will be endless battles because of all kinds of precious jade. ”
"Those poor jade people, the jade that they exchanged for their lives may be easily snatched away. ”
"Of course, it's good to be snatched away, but if you encounter any special jade, I'm afraid you will lose your life!"
When she came to the cave, the old woman's courage was also a lot bigger.
"Old man, does this glazed jade belong to the kind of jade that lost its life?"
Zhu Shuai couldn't help but ask.
"You're right. In the Nansheng Mountain Range, there are countless kinds of jade, among which there are three kinds of the most precious, namely glazed jade, dragon pattern jade, and blood jade. ”
"Among them, the dragon pattern jade and the brake blood jade will still be encountered occasionally, but every time they appear, they will be forcibly taken away by those big forces and sold at a high price. ”
"But this glazed jade is different, long ago, this glazed jade was excavated by people. ”
"The texture of glazed jade is verdant, soft to the touch, has the effect of warming the soul and infiltrating the meridians, and it is the best choice for all cultivators to carry with them. ”
"Because of its attractive effect, glazed jade was quickly favored by people after it was present. ”
"Some big families are also vying to be the first to buy a large amount of glazed jade. ”
"However, on the entire Bright Continent, the reserves of glazed jade are just that. Those big families, in order to show their respective sovereignty, began to rob each other because of this glazed jade. ”
"After several battles, now, the glazed jade on the Southern Continent is basically in the hands of some big families. ”
Among them, the Lotus Pavilion has the most glazed jade, and the glazed jade has basically become the representative of the Lotus Pavilion. ”
"As long as there are other glazed jade in the world, the Lotus Pavilion will definitely try all kinds of ways to take it into its own hands, and even, even slaughter the entire family!"
The old woman spoke slowly.
"Is this Lotus Pavilion so domineering? Because of a piece of jade, you want to slaughter the family?"
Zhu Shuai couldn't help but scream.
This Lotus Pavilion's approach is really crazy, isn't it! However, isn't the pavilion master of the Lotus Pavilion a woman named Lotus? Her methods are so vicious?
"Hehe, scarcity is precious, it is precisely because there is very little glazed jade, so those big families will take it in their own hands to show their taste. ”
"For all of this, those people, nothing can be done. ”
The old woman opened her mouth and laughed a few times.
"So that's the case, no wonder those people, when they heard that I wanted to buy glass jade, they all kicked me out, originally because they were afraid of being killed. ”
Only then did Zhu Shuai understand.
"Yes! So, in the future, you must not go around preaching about the matter of glazed jade! In the Southern Holy City, there are not a few eyes and ears of the Lotus Pavilion! Perhaps, you have already been targeted by them!"
The old woman said earnestly.
Listening to the old woman's words, Zhu Shuai was shocked again.
Today, I have been asking about glass jade everywhere, if it is really like what the old woman said, then isn't it very dangerous for me now?
Also, the two people who followed him before could it be that they were also from the Lotus Pavilion, and they would follow him when they learned that they wanted to inquire about the whereabouts of the glazed jade?
Zhu Shuai's whole body broke out in a cold sweat in an instant!
It seems that what Brother Wei Shuo said is not wrong, before you have enough strength, it is better not to explore the secret!
"Okay, now that you've found me, what else do you want to know, just ask!"
The old woman changed her words and continued.
"Old man, do you know what these glazed jades are used for after they are bought by those big families?"
Zhu Shuai hurriedly threw out his own questions.
"This is not accurate, some are used to make clan cards, some are made tokens, and some are just made simple decorations, carry them with you, and have no specific use!"
The old woman spoke.
Listening to the old woman's words, Zhu Shuai fell into contemplation again.
His own jade pendant should be regarded as a simple ornament, but there is more than one family that owns this glass jade, and Zhu Shuai still has no clue which force his mother belongs to.
However, one thing Zhu Shuai can be sure of is that the power of his mother must be very huge.
"Look at your appearance, do you have glazed jade? In this way, as long as you show me your glazed jade, I can judge the owner of this jade and the power it is in!"
The old woman continued to speak kindly.
"Can you see the power of the jade owner?"
Listening to the old woman's words, Zhu Shuai was overjoyed.
I didn't expect this old woman to be so powerful, just by looking at it, you can determine the power where her mother is.
In this way, wouldn't it be much easier to find your mother?
Zhu Shuai was excited to find out the jade pendant and show it to the old woman.
At this moment, Morey, who had not spoken behind him, secretly pulled Zhu Shuai.
