Chapter 102: The Mad Daoist
"Young man, do you want money?" The middle-aged man looked at Xia Qing with a smile on his face.
Shi Xuanxuan also smiled, and finally knew Xia Qing's purpose, only the old Taoist priest had a calm face.
"It's not. Xia Qing shook his head.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised, "Then you...... Is it for a future?"
Xia Qing continued to shake his head, "It's not. ”
"Not for money, not for the future, young man, if you are here to make trouble, you can leave now. The middle-aged man ignored Xia Qing and began to look down at the book.
"I'm here to look at treasures. ”
Xia Qing paused and said, "Some time ago, I accidentally picked up a treasure in the wild, and I wanted to ask what it was from and what it was for. ”
"Pay first, then work, the price starts at a hundred taels of silver, and there is no bargaining. The middle-aged man was a little cold, and pointed to the signboard at his feet, which really said that the starting price was one hundred taels of silver. Compared with the old Taoist priest next to him, he scored a high score. The old Taoist priest works first and then pays, and keeps saying that the price is arbitrary, while the middle-aged scholar is completely opposite.
Shi Xuanxuan secretly touched Xia Qing's arm, "Childe, that's right, what your aunt said should be this scholar, this person is not crazy, but crazy!"
"Perhaps. ”
Xia Qing nodded, walking on the rivers and lakes, he couldn't be confused by his own eyes, the person wearing the Taoist robe was not necessarily a Taoist priest, and conversely, the Taoist priest was not necessarily wearing a Taoist robe. Xia Qing also felt that the middle-aged scholar was much more reliable, so he took out a hundred taels of silver with white flowers from the Qiankun ring and pushed it in front of the middle-aged scholar.
The eyes of the old Taoist priest on the side brightened, and the middle-aged scholar also put down the book, Xia Qing took off the jade pendant and handed it to the middle-aged scholar, "Sir, this is what I said about this jade pendant." ”
The middle-aged scholar took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and gently touched the patterns and patterns on the jade pendant with his hand, "Yes, the workmanship is fine, and it is also a few years, it is not an ordinary product, it is worth at least a thousand taels of silver." ”
"I don't care how much it's worth, I just want to know where this jade pendant comes from. Xia Qing went straight to the point.
"What ...... this?"
The middle-aged scholar frowned, and couldn't say anything after muttering for a while, but the old Taoist priest on the side suddenly changed his face after carefully looking at the patterns on the jade pendant. It seems that he knows something.
Xia Qing secretly saw the reaction of the two fortune tellers in his eyes, and asked the middle-aged scholar, "According to Mr., what is the material of this jade pendant?"
"This ...... In my opinion...... , it should be Qingtian jade. Yes, it must be Qingtian jade. Young man, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the heirloom of the big families in the Central Plains, and it may even be the palace treasure flowing out of the Dakang Dynasty!" The middle-aged scholar was energetic, and he was talking about the Tao, but the old Taoist priest on the side suddenly cleaned up the stall, glanced at the middle-aged scholar, and hurried away with the package on his back, as if he saw something terrible. The middle-aged scholar casually said perfunctory, rolled up the silver taels and left, and hurriedly followed behind the old Taoist.
"These two are in a gang!" Shi Xuanxuan reacted.
"It's not just a gang, the old man in the robe is the person we are looking for, chase!"
Xia Qing put away the jade pendant and strode after it. I thought that the world's masters didn't make more copper plates, but now it seems that they are obviously wrong. This old Taoist priest is really a madman, he can obviously make money with his strength, but he sings and acts with middle-aged scholars to cheat money.
Looking back, seeing Xia Qing and Shi Xuanxuan chasing after him, the old Taoist priest was faster, and the middle-aged scholar walked all the way to the outside of the ghost market, and went straight to the Luoshui River, Xia Qing hurriedly quickened his pace, "Wait a minute, old Taoist, wait a minute!"
It's okay that Xia Qing didn't scream, and the old Taoist priest suddenly accelerated.
A sonorous sword groan sounded, Shi Xuanxuan's body suddenly jumped high, flipped a heel fight in the air, and the horizontal sword blocked the way of the old Taoist priest and the middle-aged scholar, "Two gentlemen, please stay, my son-in-law has something to say!"
"Don't, don't kill me!"
The middle-aged scholar's face was pale, and when he saw the sword in Shi Xuanxuan's hand, his legs were weak, and he just pretended to be profound, and he revealed his original form when he was frightened. On the contrary, the old Taoist priest who saw the money was open-eyed, and stopped silently.
"Old man, are you the so-called madman?" Xia Qing walked up, a little excited in his heart. The more abnormal the old Taoist priest was, the more excited he became, knowing that he had finally found the right person. Looking at the reaction of the old Taoist, it was obvious that he knew something.
"Young man, I can return all the hundred taels of silver to you, and from now on the two taels will be clear, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. The old Taoist priest gave a look, and the middle-aged scholar hurriedly took out the silver taels.
Xia Qing didn't even look at Yin Liang, all he cared about was the origin of the jade pendant, and took out the jade pendant, "Crazy Daoist, tell me, whose jade pendant is it, what is the origin?"
"I don't know. The madman shook his head and looked at the jade pendant on Xia Qing's neck, his eyes were obviously more uneasy, even fearful.
Xia Qing took out a silver ticket, "One thousand taels of silver, in exchange for your words." ”
The madman shook his head directly, "Childe, I only tell fortunes, not treasures!"
"Three thousand taels!" Xia Qing took out two more silver tickets and added two thousand taels in one go.
"Childe, you find someone else, I still want to live a few more years!" The madman still shook his head, and stepped back as he spoke, it seemed that the jade pendant on Xia Qing's neck was more terrible than the plague, and the farther away the better.
"Seven thousand taels!" Xia Qing gritted his teeth and raised the price again. If the silver is gone, you can earn it again, but no one knows the whereabouts of your mother, and once the old Taoist priest leaves, she may never find a clue again.
"Old Taoist, that's enough!"
Shi Xuanxuan snorted coldly, raised her long sword and made a starting gesture, and the power fluctuations in her body began to rise steadily, "If you don't make things clear today, it's useless for you to escape to the ends of the earth, no one can hide from the tracking of our Heaven and Earth Alliance!"
"Heaven and Earth Alliance?"
The old Taoist priest's face became solemn, "You ...... , who is the Heaven and Earth Alliance?"
"The flag dancer is under the master, this is our son. Shi Xuanxuan vaguely pointed out the identity of Ming Xiaqing, cutting off the old Taoist priest's idea of continuing to escape. Judging from his style, this old Taoist priest is not simple, and Shi Xuanxuan has no choice but to show the identity of the Tomorrow Earth Alliance.
"It turns out that you are the ...... of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, Childe"
The old Taoist priest looked at Shi Xuanxuan, and then at Xia Qing, and suddenly understood Xia Qing's identity. Those who are a little more well-informed already know that the Heaven and Earth Alliance has given birth to a new alliance leader.
Xia Qing took a step forward, "Old man, please tell me, what is the origin of this jade pendant?"
"Alas!"
The old Taoist priest sighed helplessly, after knowing Xia Qing's true identity, he understood that he really couldn't leave if he didn't explain it clearly, or he would suffer endlessly, "Childe, what is the origin of this jade pendant, I really don't know." However, I have seen something similar in one place, and the patterns on it are very similar, and the breath contained in it is also similar. ”
"What place?" Xia Qing asked, knowing that he was really not chasing in vain, and he was one step closer to revealing the secret of the jade pendant. If you know the ins and outs of the jade pendant, you may be able to find your mother!
"Great Joy Valley!"
"Childe, when you come to the Great Joy Valley in the future, don't say that I told you, please!"
The old Taoist priest looked around as he spoke, as if he was afraid of something, and left in a hurry after telling Xia Qing the location.
"Wait a minute, madman, where is the Great Joy Valley?" Xia Qing continued to chase.
The old Taoist priest walked faster and faster, and directly crossed the Luoshui River with the middle-aged scholar on the waves, and the voice came from afar, "In Wuzhou, it is possible to emerge after dark, and those who are destined to see it." ”
The old Taoist priest didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly disappeared into the mountains on the other side of the Luoshui River.
