Chapter 056: The Bronze Box
Chapter 056 Bronze Box
Sensing the old monk's vigilant gaze, Ye Qing's face did not change, and she replied casually: "I forgot when it was, I remember that I saw it in an ancient book, and I thought it was a little interesting at the time, so I simply wrote it down." ”
It's the truth.
When she entered the Danyi Gate and began to contact the secret art of the sect, the master did not teach her anything, only lost a copy of the "Great Wilderness Hundred Herbs Sutra", and asked her to memorize it all within ten days.
A three-year-old child can't read all the words, and he memorizes more than 360 outlines within 10 days.
This seemed absolutely impossible to outsiders, but she did it, and of course, this credit was completely dependent on the master, who was eight years old at the time, and tirelessly taught day after day.
I just saw it in ancient books, so I said it, not a fellow believer?
When the old monk heard her answer, his heart let down his vigilance slightly.
But after thinking about it, he still cautiously asked, "That little girl, can you tell me the name of that ancient book?" ”
"This ......" Ye Qing knew that the old monk was suspicious.
She deliberately dragged out the tail note, and curled the corners of her lips in response: "Of course there is no problem, as long as the master ......"
"Stop!" The old monk suddenly interjected: "What is wet and dry, this name is not good, it sounds unpleasant." ”
Ye Qing was speechless for a moment.
Wang Mingye came down with a black line and asked him: "Then you should always say your name, right?" ”
"This ......"
The old monk smacked his tongue, scratched his head, pretended to think, and then continued: "The poor monk has been a monk for too long, and he has long forgotten his real name, and now he is involved in the red dust, so he doesn't mention the Dharma name. ”
"Old man, this is not good...... Wang Mingye frowned.
"What's wrong, okay, don't grind, other little girls don't have mother-in-law like you."
The old monk glanced at him, turned his head to look at Ye Qing's side, and pulled a smile on his cheeks that were stained with drunkenness, and asked, "Come on, little girl, tell the poor monk quickly, what is the name of that book?" ”
"Old man, do you really want to know?" Ye Qing is not hypocritical, he can call whatever he says.
The old monk nodded without hesitation: "Hurry up." ”
"There's no hurry, it's easy to know the title of the book, but you'll have to answer me a question first." Ye Qing raised her head and looked at him.
"What's the problem?"
She pointed to the medicinal herbs on the stall: "I want to know, where did you dig these herbs from?" ”
"Where did you dig it?" The old monk was obviously stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "No, anything else can be discussed, this poor monk has nothing to say." ”
His smile was contained, and his expression rarely became serious.
Ye Qing seemed to have expected him to answer like this, and he was not disappointed, so he spread his hands: "That's no way, I have to keep it a secret." ”
"Hmph, keep it secret, keep it secret, what's the big deal, maybe that broken book doesn't have any strengths, it's just a coincidence that I remember a few words." The tone seems a little childish.
That being said, in fact, his eyes kept staring at Ye Qing.
Seeing that the other party was completely unmoved, the old monk knew that his trick was useless, so he hurriedly changed his strategy, knocked on the side and asked, "Is there anything else in that book?" ”
"Of course." Two very concise words.
The old monk gestured: "These are also recorded?" ”
Ye Qing swept the spirit grass on his stall and nodded: "Most of them have them, there are pictures in the book, it should not be wrong." ”
Really!
The old monk gasped.
At first, he wasn't very sure, but when he heard this, he became more and more sure that the ancient book that Ye Qing was referring to was probably the lost pharmacopoeia in the temple.
That's a strange book!
In order to ask the question, the old monk had to take a step back: "Little girl, if you don't do this, can you change the question?" ”
"How?" Ye Qing couldn't guess his intentions.
The old monk approached her and whispered: "Since you have read that ancient book, you must know that the things sold by the poor monk here are all genuine, so you can describe the name and characteristics of that ancient book, and you can pick three of all the things in this stall and take them, how about it?" ”
"Ten pieces."
Ye Qing is not soft at all, you must know that these are all spirit grasses, although the grade is not high, but they are also precious anomalies.
The old monk immediately shook his head: "No, four pieces." ”
"Fifteen." She doesn't subtract but add.
The old monk shouted, "You, you, you...... No, five pieces at most, otherwise don't talk about it! ”
Ye Qing smiled, such a bargaining scene made her can't help but think of the picture of going down the mountain to purchase in her previous life.
She shrugged and continued to add, "Those twenty." ”
The old monk was defeated, and compromised with a painful face: "Okay, ten pieces are ten, the poor monk is planted today, and he met such a shrewd little girl as you." ”
A little fox-like smile flashed on Ye Qing's lips: "Agree early, or ......"
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly stopped, and looked at the cloth bag behind the old monk's buttocks, which seemed to be pressed with a bronze box stained with mud.
"What's that, old man?"
Ye Qing stretched out her hand and pointed behind him, frowning and asked.
"Which one?" The old monk turned around in confusion, pointed to the copper box on the cloth bag, and asked her, "You said this?" ”
"yes, can you show me first?"
The old monk held up his hands and handed it over, and said casually: "Poor monk, when you are asking, this is a broken box, it can't be opened, the locks are eaten to death by patina, and it is not who throws it on the road. ”
Ye Qing nodded, lowered her eyebrows and looked at it carefully.
It was a bronze vessel the size of a brick, extremely heavy in hand, and the face was covered with ancient patterns, although it was covered by mud, but the wild atmosphere that was different from the ordinary taste was still so rich and pure.
As the old monk said, the copper buckle on the box has been eaten to death by green rust, and if you want to know what is inside, unless you forcibly break it, otherwise, it is estimated that there is no other way to do it.
As if seeing her plan, the old monk reminded first: "Don't think about it, this box can't be opened, the poor monk borrowed a plate axe before and hammered it without moving, and I don't know if this is a real bronze artifact." ”
Can't even open the force?
Wang Mingye interjected: "Isn't it okay to use a chainsaw or a drill bit?" ”
The old monk shook his head: "I don't know about this, and it's not a rare object, maybe it's solid, it's not necessarily, why bother doing that thankless thing, wasting your strength in vain?" ”
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly pulled the topic back: "Tell me what this broken box is for, the little girl comes and goes, five pieces are five, you quickly tell the poor monk about the book in advance." ”
It's a pity that Ye Qing's mind is no longer here, just now, when she heard the old monk say that she couldn't open the copper box with external force, she quietly threw a trace of true qi into the box.
Immediately after, her dantian suddenly flashed with a strange feeling.
"Quack, strange thing, girl, this box is not simple, you can buy it quickly......"
Just when Ye Qing felt strange about the slightest sense just now, in the space, suddenly, without warning, the voice of the tsundere stupid bird sounded.
