Chapter 13: Shameless
The difference in strength between the two is too big, it is not a grade at all, this seemingly life-and-death duel, in fact, was destined to be a boring game from the beginning.
Not only did the spectators lose their patience, but later, Jiang Chao himself felt extremely bored!
"Won't fight?" Zhao Chen leaned against a tree, looked at Jiang Chao who came back dejectedly, and asked funny.
"Don't you think it's funny?" Jiang Chao held back the fire in his heart, and when he saw Zhao Chen's expression that seemed to be smiling, he suddenly raised his head and asked angrily.
"It's a little boring!" Zhao Chen stood up straight, looked at Jiang Chao seriously, and suggested: "Actually, it's just a bearded guest, if you really want to put him to death, I can help you, keep it for a while, let him lie on the ground and can't move!" ”
"I don't need to!" As soon as Jiang Chao heard this, the person who was about to sit down suddenly stood up, threw down a sentence angrily, turned around and walked into the distance.
"Cut!" Zhao Chen watched Jiang Chao walk away, pursed his lips, and said, "Speaking of which, it's not because I don't want to see my master die at my own hands!" ”
"You're an immortal disciple?" As soon as Jiang Chao walked away, the bearded guest limped from there, and was still a few steps away from Zhao Chen, so he frowned and asked in a condensed voice.
"So what?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he took off the crossbow from his waist and aimed at the bearded guest, and then he was in the mood to look at the bearded guest and said.
The guy in front of him is a dangerous person, and he keeps Jiang Chao everywhere, because he cares about the love of master and apprentice. to others. But it's not so polite.
"Someone wants a boat!" The bearded guest's eyes glanced at the bow and crossbow in Zhao Chen's hand, and a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes. However, he still stood in place with interest. From a distance of a few steps, looking at the young man in front of him, who had been taking out things these days, he said in a deep voice.
"Nope!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he replied very simply, looked at the bearded guest and said, "There are two ships moored outside, one is mine, and the other is not mine!" ”
"A certain family can exchange something!" The bearded guest frowned slightly when he heard this, and then. looked at Zhao Chen stubbornly and said.
When Zhao Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly looked at the tattered bearded guest with interest, his mouth raised slightly, and he silently showed a mockery.
I'm so poor that I don't have pants to wear, and I still want to take things and change boats with him, it's really a fool's dream!
"Exchange the most valuable thing on the island!" The bearded guest seemed to see the ridicule in Zhao Chen's eyes, and a slight anger flashed in his eyes. But. But he finally took a breath, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Don't you just want to make a fortune on this trip?" ”
When Zhao Chen heard the bearded guest's tone, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. On the island, the most valuable things he knew were mahogany and the nutmeg outside. I can't think of anything more valuable than these two.
"Let's hear it first!" Zhao Chen looked at the bearded guest with a serious appearance, not like he was making up nonsense. So, I sniffled. He looked at the bearded guest and said.
"Gloomy Wood!" The bearded man didn't even think about it, so he blurted out.
"Sizzle~" When Zhao Chen heard this, he suddenly gasped for cold air, and as a result, he was defenseless all of a sudden, sucked saliva into his throat, and coughed vigorously.
Gloomy ebony! That's priceless, it's not just a big tree growing in that place. Rather, the trees of thousands of years ago were buried in the ground after a natural disaster, and then after years of precipitation, they formed a gloomy wood.
When the Qing people entered the customs, the gloomy wood was designated as the exclusive use of the royal family, and no one was allowed to touch it. When he arrived at Yuan Datou, Lao Yuan's dream of being an emperor was shattered, and his family reluctantly scrapped up a coffin board for Lao Yuan in order to let Lao Yuan enjoy the treatment of the emperor once.
From this, it can be seen how precious the gloomy wood should be!
This thing is something that can be met but not sought!
"Many... How much? Zhao Chen finally stopped coughing, looked at the bearded guest with a flushed face, and asked nervously with a nervous expression.
"One!" The bearded guest was very satisfied with Zhao Chen's cheap appearance of seeing money, which showed that the magical young man in front of him was still very knowledgeable and knew the true value of gloomy wood.
"I want it!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he said very simply.
"Where's the ship?" The bearded guest looked at Zhao Chen with a contemptuous smile on his face and said, "Give a boat to a certain family, and a certain family will tell you the location of the gloomy wooden cave!" ”
"No boat!" Zhao Chen shook his head, looked at the bearded guest and said, "Didn't I already say that there are only two boats outside, one is someone else's, it is impossible for me to give you my own ship, right?" ”
As he spoke, Zhao Chen suddenly reached out and took out the dark wooden card from his neck, lit up proudly at the bearded guest, and said, "Do you know this?" ”
"What is this?" The bearded guest stared at the wooden card in Zhao Chen's hand, his expression was slightly in a trance, and then, his eyes suddenly flashed a fierce color, and he asked in a condensed voice: "This is a token of a certain hidden door, how can it be in your hand?" ”
"Tsk, it's good to know!" Zhao Chen immediately recognized the origin of the wooden plaque when he saw the bearded guest, and immediately said more and more proudly: "Since you recognize this wooden plaque, then you should understand my identity!" That's right, I'm the current helmsman of the Hidden Gate! ”
"How is this possible!" The bearded guest had a completely stupid expression, the hidden door has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the background is so deep, how can in the end, let a young man be the helmsman of the hidden door.
"Don't worry about it, it may not be!" Zhao Chen looked very impatient and said, "Anyway! I'm now at the helm of the Hidden Gate, otherwise your obedient son wouldn't be at my disposal, would you? ”
As he spoke, Zhao Chen looked at the bearded guest shamelessly and said, "To be honest, it's not easy for me, the helmsman of the hidden door!" All the family property is lost to you, and hundreds of people of all ages and children in the hidden door are waiting for me to make money for them to feed them. Otherwise, would I be able to run to this place? ”
The bearded guest's mouth was silently open, and his head was completely chaotic, all this changed too suddenly, which made him feel at a loss, especially when he heard Zhao Chen say that all the family property of the hidden door had been defeated by him, and if he wanted to argue, he suddenly swallowed it hard.
"I couldn't help it before!" Zhao Chen saw the bearded guest speechless, and then said: "Now, since you have something as valuable as gloomy wood, can you bear to watch those old and young people starve and freeze, and they are unwilling to make up for them?" ”
"That's it!" When the bearded guest heard Zhao Chen say this, he suddenly raised his head and sighed, and then said to Zhao Chen with a dejected face: "A certain family, take you there!" ”
Yes! When Zhao Chen heard the bearded guest's words, he almost cried out excitedly. Now it's really a windfall, and with this gloomy ebony, it's worth the redwood cut down outside.
Seeing that the bearded guest had turned around to lead the way, Zhao Chen suddenly greeted excitedly, and in an instant, a large group of people, hulala, followed behind the bearded guest and walked towards the gloomy wooden cave over there.
As soon as Zhao Chen and his party left, the indigenous people who were originally surrounding in the distance suddenly rushed to the food left by Zhao Chen and them. These days, Zhao Chen is cooking good food, but he has never thought about these people's share.
He didn't come to do charity, if these people were the people of the Tang Dynasty, then it would be a different matter, but unfortunately not, Zhao Chen was not so kind!
The gloomy wooden cave is located under a cliff on the island, and perhaps it is because of this cliff that the gloomy wood underneath is exposed, where it has been buried for thousands of years.
When he reached the cliff, the bearded man pointed to a large piece of wood fossil showing below, indicating that it was gloomy ebony, and then sat aside, not bothering to pay attention.
Zhao Chen slowly climbed to the bottom of the cliff along the protrusion of the cliff, and after confirming that this was indeed the gloomy wood, he climbed up from below and ordered the excavation to everyone.
After a short time, hundreds of sailors carried digging tools and came to the bottom of the cliff one after another, and Zhao Chen kept telling them to be lighter, lighter.
This thing, after thousands of years of burial, has a very brittle texture, and it will be destroyed if you are not careful.
The gloomy ebony of the whole tree, with most of its body, is hidden under the cliff, fortunately, the cliff is not a rock layer, otherwise, Zhao Chen took a look, even if the gloomy wood was valuable, it could only leave gloomily.
Hundreds of people excavated together, and the progress was not usually fast, and it didn't take long for a large section of ebony to slowly emerge. Zhao Chen doesn't need to dig all the ebony out from under the cliff, as long as the ebony is hollow out, he has a way to collect the ebony of the whole tree into the supermarket.
The bearded guest on the cliff didn't think that Zhao Chen could dig the entire tree out from under the cliff at first. But seeing the ebony showing his head little by little, his face finally began to change.
"Want to go back?" Zhao Chen always paid attention to the bearded guest's expression, and when he saw the bearded guest's face at this time, he finally changed, and suddenly stood far away and asked in a cold voice.
Without waiting for the bearded guest to speak, Zhao Chen immediately turned to Jiang Chao on the side, and deliberately said loudly: "Brother Jiang, you have the best skills here, and it's up to you now!" ”
"Shameless!" As soon as Jiang Chao heard this, his cheeks twitched angrily, and he threw down a shameless sentence, then turned around and didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Chen.
"You're underestimating a certain family!" When the bearded guest heard this, he smiled coldly, looked at Zhao Chen condescendingly and said, "Since a certain family has said it, how can you be the one who has no faith in his word!" ”
Cut! When Zhao Chen heard this, he pursed his lips with disdain, a person who sold his master's family property actually said that he was not a person who did not believe in his words, and the ghost believed you!
The excavation progressed quickly, and the ebony that had been hidden under the cliff for thousands of years was excavated little by little, until the treetop part was also excavated, and Zhao Chen blasted everyone back.
Then, he climbed off the cliff alone, turned on his mobile phone, aimed at the ebony, and put the entire tree into the space-time backpack at once!
This thing, sold in the supermarket, is a bit of a waste, it's better to keep it around! (To be continued......)
