Chapter 59: Guilty
The shopkeeper wears a demon mask with a black face, and is short in stature, less than 1.6 meters tall. In front of him, there were several dull-colored talismans, as well as a piece of jade that was not in good condition. In addition, only a bunch of fruit in a crockpot stands out.
"Rock sugar gourd? Is it the name of this fairy fruit? Listen well. ”
The girl wore a bewitching fox mask, and when she was grabbed by the wrist, she was not annoyed or angry, and her eyes were always fixed on the string of red wild fruits, and she jumped to her feet with excitement. Seeing her like this, Lu Xin's head was full of black lines, and he silently took his hand back.
Rock sugar gourds are all over the street. In the Tang Dynasty, the people would string all kinds of wild fruits picked in the mountains with bamboo skewers, and then wrap them in a layer of sugar water to make them crystal clear, sweet and crispy. In particular, some of the best hawthorn fruits are turned red by the sugar water, which is round and jade, and is extremely beautiful. The girl in front of her is obviously a young lady who has never been out of the house, and she will be fooled by a string of sugar gourds.
"This fellow Daoist, why do you say that my bunch of immortal fruits is only worth a penny? Hmph, a junior who has a heavy view of the virtual realm dares to be so presumptuous? ”
When the shopkeeper saw someone dismantling the table, his tone was suddenly cold, and he took out a palm-sized compass from his pocket. There are many words engraved on it, from the first weight of the virtual realm to the nine layers of the micro realm, in a circular arrangement. And the pointer of the compass just fell on the scale of the first weight of the virtual realm.
Lu Xin's face changed slightly, and the other party could see his cultivation at a glance, which was an ability that only existed in the cross-border realm.
Generally speaking, without deliberately hiding mana, onmyoji in the same realm can use their minds to sense the fluctuation of mana, so as to identify their identity. But if it is deliberately hidden, the mana vortex in the dantian stops running, and it is usually difficult for people in the same realm to see the flaws, let alone see through the cultivation.
"Soul compass, this is a very expensive thing. Seller, where did you buy it? I've always wanted to buy one, but Daddy doesn't agree. ”
"Hehe, it's still a little girl who knows the goods. This Divine Soul Compass is worth 10,000 taels of soul silver, not only can you see the cultivation of the Void Realm, but even the top masters of the Returning Realm can see it at a glance through it. ”
The shopkeeper shook the compass in his hand a few times proudly, and then quickly put it back into the cloth bag. originally thought that Lu Xin would be so frightened that he would leave immediately, but unexpectedly, the young man was still standing in front of the stall, motionless.
"What the hell do you want, fucking stinky boy? Girl, ignore him. This rock candy ...... No, this East China Sea fairy fruit, I sold you for two hundred taels. ”
"Really? Thank you, uncle, this is two hundred taels of silver, you can take it. Well...... It's so sweet, it's a delicious fairy fruit. ”
After the girl paid the money, she immediately picked up the rock sugar gourd and put it in her mouth. Seeing her extremely intoxicated and contented look, the shopkeeper smiled "hehe", and you can imagine how happy her face under the mask is. The shopkeeper laughed for a moment, as if remembering something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the boy.
At this time, Lu Xin was lowering his head and staring at Puyu on the stall.
"Shopkeeper, how to sell this piece of jade?"
"Yo, is the kid smart? This piece of jade, but I dug it up from the depths of the northwest desert at the risk of death. I think back then, for it, I almost died in the hands of the disciples of the Great Desolate God Sect. If it weren't for the last resort, I wouldn't have been willing to sell it. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he picked up Puyu with both hands, showing a reluctant look. Lu Xin has been in business for many years, so he naturally understands what he is thinking, and suddenly snorted coldly and lowered his throat.
"This stupid girl doesn't even know the rock sugar gourd, but she has so much Danyin in her hand, which shows that her origin is amazing. A young lady who stays at home, how much do you think his family will love her? If now, I shout around, you say, what will happen? ”
"Boy, are you threatening me? Why, if you want to learn from other people's robbery, who are you the uncle? A wild man who goes up to the mountains to hunt, or a fool who sells fish by the river? ”
"Rock sugar gourd, a string of rock sugar gourd, pass by, don't miss it......"
"I curse you eighteen generations of ancestors! Okay, okay, I'm scared of you, shut up...... Shut up. Two hundred taels, two hundred taels you take. ”
When the shopkeeper saw Lu Xin shouting, he was so frightened that his hands trembled, and he hurriedly stuffed the jade in his hand into Lu Xin's arms. Seeing this, the young man stopped talking.
"Two hundred dans of silver? Judging by the quality of this thing, I'm afraid it's not even worth a hundred taels, right? ”
"Big brother, uncle! You're all right, let's go. This jade, I'll give you a hundred taels, will I give it to you? It's not easy to do business these days, so you should have pity on me and go to another store to take a look. ”
……
When Lu Xin left the stall, the girl also jumped away. The two men walked in exactly opposite directions. Lu Xin originally wanted to stop the girl from being deceived, but when he saw that she was really stupid and cute, she gave up.
Walking through a few lively streets, Lu Xin entered a restaurant, and after sitting down in the corner, he immediately took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck. I saw that the jade pendant was flashing with sky blue light, which was almost the same as the color of the jade in my hand. Just now, it was the sudden vision of the jade pendant that gave him the idea of buying the jade.
At this time, as the distance between the two pieces of jade narrowed, the jade also began to emit blue light. The stone that was wrapped around it was falling off at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, a whole piece of jade, which was originally the size of a fist, turned into an egg-like jade, shining and without impurities.
Lu Xin was shocked, the jade pendant was given by Grandpa Tu. And before he died, he confessed that he should take good care of it, saying that it could protect him. Lu Xin didn't care about it originally, but it was just a relic of the old man, so he naturally cherished it very much. But now it seems that this jade pendant is far from being as simple as he imagined.
Put the two pieces of jade in your hand and look closely, whether it is color, size or feel, almost all of them are the same. Lu Xin didn't understand jade identification, but he also understood that the two pieces of jade were most likely from the same place. Maybe it's from the same piece of mother jade, maybe it's from the same mountain, maybe it's from the same vein. In short, this is definitely not an ordinary jade.
"Grandpa Tu regarded it as a family heirloom before he died, and he deliberately explained it before he died. It seems that this jade is not a mortal thing! ”
Lu Xin looked at it for a long time, but he really didn't see any clues. I was about to hang the jade pendant back around my neck, and I would go to ask for advice after seeing the master. At this time, the two pieces of jade suddenly trembled violently, and burst out with a very strong repulsion, directly shaking Lu Xin's hands open. Immediately after, the jade pendant and the jade both flew into the air, attracting each other, and there were signs of merging together.
"It's not good, the vision is too strong to suppress at all!"
Lu Xin was shocked, and hurriedly looked around, although there were not many customers in the restaurant, there were seven or eight people sitting in twos and threes. At this time, all the faces of the evil ghosts turned around.
Buzz Buzz Buzz ......
The two pieces of jade let out a soft sound, and then the light suddenly dissipated, and the jade pendant fell back into Lu Xin's hands. At this time, looking at it again, only one of the original two pieces of jade remains. However, Lu Xin didn't have time to think about it, so he stuffed the jade pendant into his cuffs and jumped out of the window directly.
Although he couldn't see the expressions under the masks of the others, he clearly felt a pair of hostile eyes. Sure enough, not long after jumping out of the window, all the people in the restaurant chased out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if Fang Cai is not mistaken, it should be a piece of heavenly jade. This thing, just by mixing a little bit of ordinary jade, you can refine a golden talisman. ”
"Not bad! Such a divine object, those who see it have a share. Fellow Daoists, how about the seven of us join forces, how about dividing it evenly when the time comes? ”
"Okay, that's it!"
The seven people were obviously onmyoji, and they were chasing extremely fast. Two of them each put a talisman on their foreheads, and their running figures became blurred like a hurricane. The other people also had their own means, and the one who ran at the forefront was a man in black, with a bamboo flute under his feet, carrying his hands behind his back, and flying directly into the air.
"Returning to the Realm?"
Lu Xin glanced back and saw that the man in black was condescending, following closely behind him, and his eyelids immediately jumped wildly. He had heard Li Chunfeng say that if the Onmyoji wanted to borrow a magic weapon to control the sky, he had to at least reach the Guiwei Realm. With the crape myrtle heavenly fire weapon, the body can be driven to fly. I'm just a recultivation in the virtual realm, and I'm being chased by a top master who returns to the micro realm, how can I run?
"Master, master, why hasn't your old man shown up yet!"
Lu Xin ran to the place agreed with Li Chunfeng, but he didn't see anyone, so he had to change direction and continue to run. The ghost market is already lively, and the streets are wide. Although seven people were chasing Lu Xin at the same time, it did not cause much turmoil.
"Young man, don't run. With your cultivation, you will never be able to escape. Puff is innocent and guilty, since ancient times, it is you who have committed a big taboo. Give me the heavenly jade in exchange for ten thousand taels of Danyin, and at the same time, I can keep you safe and sound. ”
A cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Lu Xin didn't need to think about it to know who was talking. But the jade pendant in his sleeve is an heirloom given to him by Grandpa Tu, and he can't hand it over even if he dies.
Seeing that the young man did not reply, the man in black in mid-air was obviously angry. Stretching out his hand, four talismans immediately changed in front of Lu Xin, and they exploded at the same time.
Bang!
A loud explosion resounded throughout the street, and Lu Xin was shocked into a shop by the air wave generated by the explosion. I just felt pain all over my body, as if I was about to fall apart. The man in black immediately fell down, and the shopkeeper originally wanted to come forward to theorize, but when he saw the man in black coming in the sky, he was instantly too frightened to speak.
"This is Yunmeng Ghost City, where the strong are respected. Even if I kill you now, no one will care. Now you understand why everyone wears a mask, right? ”
The man in black approached step by step, and the other six people followed outside the door. Lu Xin got up from the ground and was about to speak, when a thick cloud of smoke suddenly rose in front of him, which was extremely black, and instantly enveloped the entire store.
"Come with me!"
In the darkness, a smooth, warm hand appeared, grabbed Lu Xin and ran up.
