Chapter 276: Bloodthirsty Dagger
Not many people come to the antique market, but the narrow street is still a bit crowded.
In addition to the antique shops on both sides of the street, there are also some small stalls without shops, and those in better condition have a few tables with miscellaneous knick-knacks, and some simply spread a piece of cloth on the floor and start a business.
Shu Jingrou looked at the dazzling array of antiques and said, "I didn't expect you to have studied antiques too, but there are so many things here, how do you pick out the things that are magic artifacts from them?" ”
Su Qiubai smiled incomprehensibly and said, "This is something that only we experts understand, and you don't understand it." ”
Shu Jingsoft glanced at him, turned around and picked up a rabbit carved from white jade from the stall next to him, and asked Su Qiubai: "This rabbit looks so cute, can you see if it is a magic weapon?" ”
Su Qiubai looked at the white jade rabbit in her hand with a smile, it was not even an antique at all, let alone a magic weapon.
"If you go to an ordinary jade shop to buy this thing, it can be many times cheaper, and as for the magic weapon, ......"
Shu Jingrou saw Su Qiubai's disgusted expression, and understood what he meant, but she was unwilling to be ridiculed, so she said to the owner of the stall: "Boss, how much is this rabbit?" I want it! ”
"This five thousand eight." The boss replied.
"It's a big shot." Su Qiubai said with a smile on the side.
When Shu Jingrou heard the price of this rabbit, the heroic expression just now suddenly froze on her face, and she asked in disbelief: "Just such a piece of broken jade, you dare to offer five thousand eight?" Why don't you just grab it! ”
The boss didn't really want to buy it when he heard her tone, so he said impatiently: "The value of antiques is not to look at the material, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
Shu Jingrou saw that the boss had a bad attitude, and she was immediately a little unhappy, and said directly: "You are so good at deceiving me?" Whether this rabbit is an antique or not, you don't know in your own mind? ”
When the boss heard this, his face changed, and he waved his hand and drove away: "Let's go, I can't afford to ask what price is!" And slander my stuff! ”
Shu Jingrou was a little unable to get off the stage when he said this, and it was not impossible to go, the expression on her face changed and changed, and she was about to explode.
"Five thousand eight, huh? I bought it. Su Qiubai said, took out a stack of money from his bag, counted 5,800 yuan and slapped it on the boss's table, pulled Shu Jingrou and left the stall, leaving the surprised boss who didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Shu Jingrou was still holding the rabbit in her hand, and before she could react, she was pulled away by Su Qiubai, and it was only after a while that she finally remembered and said, "Are you stupid!" I know that this thing is not worth the price, and I still spend money indiscriminately! ”
Su Qiubai shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Although it's not worth the price, it's not expensive anyway, just buy it, what nonsense are you talking about with that guy?" ”
Shu Jingrou glanced Su Qiubai up and down in surprise, and said, "I can't see that you are still a rich man, five thousand eight to buy such a broken thing." With that, she took Su Qiubai's hand and put the jade rabbit in the palm of his hand.
Su Qiubai took a closer look at the jade rabbit in his hand, and found that although this thing was not an antique, the carving was still good, the jade quality was quite clean, and it was not bad to play with it as a plaything, so he said, "Isn't this what you like?" Why did it become a broken thing again? ”
Shu Jingrou looked at the Jade Rabbit, then at Su Qiubai, and then turned her head and said, "I'm not rare." ”
Su Qiubai knew that she was just hard-mouthed, but she actually liked this jade rabbit very much, so she directly put the jade rabbit in her hand and said, "Buy everything, take it." ”
Shu Jingrou's face turned red and said, "I don't have the money to pay you back!" ”
Su Qiubai smiled and said, "Who said I want you to pay it back?" Rest assured, I'll give it to you. After saying that, he continued to walk forward.
Shu Jingrou followed behind Su Qiubai, looking at the snow-white jade rabbit, and her heart suddenly felt a little confused.
"If you go so slowly, you don't care if you lose me!" Su Qiubai said without looking back in front of him.
"It's coming!" After Shu Jingrou carefully put away the jade rabbit, she answered and ran towards Su Qiubai.
The two of them visited several antique shops in a row, but they didn't find anything that could catch their eyes, until Su Qiubai saw a dagger.
This is an antique-looking shop, as soon as Su Qiubai entered, he felt an unusual aura, and followed the source of this aura to find the dagger.
Su Qiubai stepped forward and picked up the dagger and looked at it carefully, seeing that there was a faint flow of evil qi on it, presumably this was a murder weapon that had killed many people.
"What, is this a magic weapon?" Shu Jingrou saw him staring at the dagger with a serious face, so she asked in a low voice.
Su Qiubai shook his head and said, "It's not a magic weapon, but it's more useful than a magic weapon." ”
The boss, who had been sitting behind the counter reading the newspaper, showed a pair of eyes from behind the newspaper and said coldly: "That thing is not for sale!" ”
Su Qiubai was stunned when he heard this, he finally found a useful thing, but it was actually a non-sale.
"When things are put out, they are meant to be sold, so why should they be put out if they are only shown but not bought?" Shu Jingrou asked unconvinced.
The boss still sat still and said, "The treasure of the town store, what will you take if you sell it?" ”
When Su Qiubai heard this, he suddenly said: "With such a murder weapon, you are not afraid of attracting disaster?" ”
The boss finally put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "What did you say?" ”
Su Qiubai repeated: "I said that this is a blood-stained murder weapon, if you want to use it to town the store, you have to stop it first." ”
"It seems you're still an expert, but how do you know I can't control it?" The boss said, got up and walked over to Su Qiubai, and took the dagger back from his hand.
The boss pulled the dagger out of its sheath and said, "This dagger has been with me for more than twenty years, and if I couldn't stop it, I would have died a long time ago." ”
Su Qiubai was shocked when he heard this, this boss doesn't look like a cultivator, he shouldn't be a cultivator, but he can suppress the ferocious aura of this dagger, unless......
Thinking of this, Su Qiubai took a closer look at the boss, and saw that he was about fifty years old, not tall, and looked thin, but his body was not thin, and although the expression on his face was full of vicissitudes, there was still a faint ruthlessness.
If you want to suppress this kind of murder weapon, if you don't cultivate, you must be a fierce person, to put it bluntly, you are a ruthless master who dares to kill.
"I can't imagine that this antique market is still a place where dragons and tigers are hidden." Su Qiubai said vaguely.
"Don't insinuate, I'm not afraid to sue you, when I was young, I killed a few people, and I also squatted in prison, and I was just released a few years ago, so what? If this thing is not sold, it is not sold. The boss said, putting the dagger back in its place.
If it were usual, Su Qiubai would not be interested in this kind of ferocious thing, but this kind of murder weapon stained with countless blood is the most effective to deal with things like ghosts and monsters, take it with you, those evil things don't dare to get close at all, of course, the premise is to be able to suppress the fierce aura on it, otherwise it is easy to be eaten by it.
He originally wanted to buy this dagger to deal with Feng Yuanqiu, but seeing the resolute attitude of this boss, he made a difficulty.
"Looking at the boss's appearance, he loves this thing very much, so you must not be willing to see this treasure can only be dusted here, right?" Su Qiubai pondered the boss's thoughts and said.
The boss glared at him when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean?" Do you want me to use it to kill people again? ”
Su Qiubai shook his head and said: "That's naturally not, it's just that I have an important matter to do now, and I may need to borrow your dagger, and I will naturally return it when I run out." ”
The boss unceremoniously refused: "You do your business, it's my business?" Why should I lend it to you? ”
"Hey, how do you talk!" Shu Jingrou saw that he had a bad attitude, so she opened her mouth to accuse.
Su Qiubai hurriedly pulled her aside, this girl is really not light or heavy, just now the boss said that he was a ruthless character who had killed people, she actually dared to contradict him, and she was not afraid that he would kill people in anger.
"Boss, don't be angry yet, listen to what I'm going to do, and you may agree to lend it to me." Su Qiubai still said good-naturedly.
"I borrowed your dagger to kill someone, a person who deserves to be killed. This man is good at controlling ghosts, and he also knows how to borrow life, and in order to prolong his life, he has killed many innocent children, and this alone is enough for him to die hundreds of times. In addition to this, he is also a scourge in your local area. As a local, you should have heard about what happened on the Bone Mountain, but it wasn't the ghost who was doing the trick, it was the person. Boss, although you are also a person who has killed people, I don't think you are a bad person, and you must not be tolerated for this kind of person who has lost his conscience, right? Su Qiubai didn't care that Shu Jingrou was still by his side, so he told him about killing Feng Yuanqiu.
The boss frowned when he heard this, nodded and said, "If it is really as you said, then this person really deserves to die." But how do I know if you're making up nonsense to lie to me? What if I lend you the dagger, but you don't pay it back to me? ”
Su Qiubai saw that he had already wavered, so he said: "You can rest assured of this, I am by no means that kind of person." If you really don't feel at ease, then you make an offer, I'll pay you a deposit, and when I return the dagger, you can return the deposit to me. ”
The boss is still unhappy, what he cares about is not money, but this dagger that has been with him for decades, if Su Qiubai doesn't care about that money at all, he just wants to buy his dagger in a different way, then he has no choice.
"Is two million enough?" Su Qiubai saw that he was hesitant, so he directly offered the price.
The boss was stunned for a moment when he heard this, although his dagger was indeed an antiquity, but the age was not so old, and two million was enough to buy it. In terms of price, he didn't lose money, but it still didn't dispel the doubts in his heart.
"Two million is a lot, but what if you don't get this money and you still don't pay me back in the end?" The boss directly voiced his concerns.
Su Qiubai said with a smile: "To be honest, if it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have taken a fancy to this dagger at all." I don't like this kind of ferocious thing, if I say the magic weapon, I have a hundred times better than this, and I still prefer to ask for my two million compared to this dagger. ”
When the boss heard him despise his dagger like this, he was suddenly a little unhappy again, and said: "Since you have something that is hundreds of times better than this, then it would be good to use your own directly, what kind of talk do you have to do with me?" ”
Su Qiubai saw that he refused to believe himself, so he simply opened the backpack he was carrying and rummaged in it.
The Xuankong Golden Plate and the Qiankun Mirror may be used when dealing with Feng Yuanqiu, and it is even more impossible for Shennong Ding and Xuanyuan Sword to be given to him, and in the end, he took out the exquisite jade gourd from his backpack and put it on the boss's table.
"Boss, take a look at my gourd, is it worth more than your dagger?" Su Qiubai said.
As soon as the boss saw the exquisite jade gourd, his eyes immediately straightened, he studied antique jade and other things all year round, this gourd is not an ordinary object at first glance, from the material to the craftsmanship are superior, if the value is said, it is enough to buy more than a dozen daggers.
"If you put this thing on the mortgage...... I'm sure you won't return the dagger without coming back. The boss couldn't put it down and played with the delicate jade gourd, and the love in his eyes was self-evident.
"That's natural, but you have to keep your word, and this gourd will still have to be returned to me when the time comes." Su Qiubai did not forget to add.
When the boss heard this, he put the jade gourd on the table, and said with a displeased face: "Although your gourd is good, it still can't be compared with my dagger in my heart, if you don't believe me, just take it back!" ”
Seeing that he was going to be annoyed again, Su Qiubai hurriedly reached out and took the dagger, pulled Shu Jingrou out of the store, and said without looking back: "Since this is the case, then I will leave first, no need to send it!" ”
