Lu Yao built the villa according to the requirements of leaving Xinjiang, and then it was necessary to lay down some formations, this time the villa covers a huge area, and the formations that need to be laid are also quite powerful, obviously Lu Yao alone cannot complete it, and leaving Xinjiang also needs to be guided and assisted from the side.

Some materials are needed for the array, and these materials are a little special, Wang Baichuan and the others naturally can't help much, Lu Yao can only go to the city to purchase some materials in person.

Qinzhou Mall.

A city located in the Jiangdong New District of Xijing City, a monopoly city with a long history of jade and other utensils, all people of some age in Xijing City know this place, which was once regarded as one of the most eye-catching shopping malls in northwest China, and it is rumored that the behind-the-scenes boss here was once a famous warlord Ma Xuecheng in Northwest China.

Ma Xuecheng was a well-known warlord leader in the northwest at that time, with nearly 100,000 brothers under his command, occupying the five northwest provinces of China, and could be described as the rightful king of the northwest. It's just that if such a huge army wants to operate, it is naturally indispensable to have the support of money and cloth, so the cost of each day is really the same as running water.

However, at that time, the northwest region was a relatively poor and backward region, and in a drought year, it was simply starving, and the situation of people eating people also appeared, and it was obviously not easy to raise military salaries, which made it difficult for Ma Xuecheng.

At this time, a person named Qin Guanshan appeared, he was a small regimental staff officer under Ma Xuecheng, and he couldn't get into Ma Xuecheng's eyes, but this Qin Guanshan had this good ability to rob tombs, just like his name, he had the ability to "watch the mountains", by looking at the trend of the mountains and rivers and the correlation between the sun, moon and stars, he could see with the naked eye whether there was a big tomb under a mountain, whether there was a treasure.

This ability is a bit like the ability to touch the gold school captain and divide the gold points.

Qin Guanshan spent a lot of money to buy a guard next to Ma Xuecheng, so that he could say his thoughts in a timely manner when Ma Xuecheng became a military salary, but he didn't expect this trick to really work, Ma Xuecheng personally met Qin Guanshan, what the two said together, no one knew, only knew that after the two discussed, Qin Guanshan took away some people from Ma Xuecheng.

The whereabouts of these people became a secret in the army, and no one knew what they went to do and where they went.

It's just that from then on, it didn't take long for a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman to come to Ma Xuecheng's place, and after he left, the officers and soldiers of the army immediately paid silver and improved their food.

Later, the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and the outbreak of the Civil War, Ma Xuecheng led the army eastward, participated in hundreds of battles large and small, and made great achievements, but his brothers were fighting less and less, and the number of troops was getting lower and lower, and then it was gradually annexed by other warlords.

Some people say that Ma Xuecheng died in battle, and some people say that Ma Xuecheng surrendered his military power to return to the northwest and lived an ordinary life, but no one can come up with strong evidence as to which of these rumors is true.

I thought that this matter would be closed later, but who knows, not long after Ma Xuecheng disappeared, an antique trading market called Qinzhou Mall suddenly appeared in the Xijing area, which can be described as varied, and, most importantly, there are a lot of national-level treasures here, and they are sold at sky-high prices. Qinzhou Mall soon formed a monopoly position in the antique industry, and it was rumored that as long as it was produced by Qinzhou Mall, it was definitely a treasure and a treasure.

Those who like Taobao come here to buy things, many of the former antique streets have been squeezed down, Qinzhou Mall in the northwest antique world, and even the Chinese antique world have become the existence of the bull's ear, the scenery is infinite.

It is also at this moment that Qinzhou Mall has been noticed by people, and it is also at this moment that some people with a heart have dug up some dusty history, and people have rumored that Ma Xuecheng asked Qin Guanshan to take some brothers to rob the tomb and fight upside down, so as to exchange for the cost of silver taels to supply the troops, Qin Guanshan became a force under Ma Xuecheng similar to Cao Cao's golden captain in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even if Ma Xuecheng unified the eastward advance, Qin Guanshan was still doing this business, and later Ma Xuecheng returned to the northwest, Qin Guanshan and his army returned to Ma Xuecheng's hands, and the two worked together to open this Qinzhou Mall and make a lot of money in order to make a comeback.

It's just that later the form of the country changed suddenly, all kinds of warlords were defeated one after another, those warlords who relied on exploiting the common people to strengthen themselves became street rats that everyone shouted and beat, and the vast number of poor people turned into serfs and sang and became the real masters of the country, Ma Xuecheng and Qin Guanshan also recognized the reality and disappeared in this Xijing City.

Later, although Qinzhou Mall was also brilliant for a while, but it was like a flash in the pan, and his monopoly in this industry was also broken by some emerging forces, and Qinzhou Mall began to decline slowly.

At this time, some people said that Ma Xuecheng and Qin Guanshan were investigated and wanted because of some black history, and the two fled abroad with the money and completely gave up Qinzhou Mall.

The once-glorious Qinzhou Mall has become a thing of the past, and antique streets all over Xijing City have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Nowadays, there are more than 20 antique streets in Xijing City, there are still more than a dozen, and the antique street that Lu Yao went to before is one of them.

Lu Yao was going to go to the previous antique street to have a look, but before leaving, Lijiang suddenly told him a direction, and asked him to go to this direction to have a look and try his luck. Lu Yao inquired in the direction he said from Lijiang, and the most suitable one was this Qinzhou Mall.

Qinzhou Mall has three floors, the architectural pattern is very old-fashioned, to the modern architectural pattern seems out of place, originally, such a place could have been closed down a long time ago, but the new district of Xijing City was selected nearby, which made him come back to life. The business of the petty traders has also improved.

Walking into Qinzhou Mall, the flow of people is not very large, and even said that there is a downfall, some shops at first glance are still hanging a certain antique shop, fur, a certain jade processing workshop signboard, but in fact, it is the operator of some business that has nothing to do with antiques, some open a small game hall, put a few game machines, specifically to attract those children to come here to have fun, and some are simply started a fast food business.

Lu Yao walked slowly, looked slowly, and looked around the entire first floor and didn't find what he needed, so he went to the second floor, which is an old-fashioned building, there is no elevator at all, so he can only take the stairs to the second floor.

Although there are some shops on the second floor that do not match the side of antiques, there are still a few shops that operate antique businesses, but the business conditions of these shops are really miserable, and the counters of some shops are covered with a thick layer of dust from afar, and it is obvious that there have been no customers for a long time, and the boss has no intention of cleaning up.

changed the second floor, and there was still nothing Lu Yao wanted, so he could only go to the third floor to try his luck.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be estimated that he would have lost patience at this time, but he was Lu Yao, and the person who told him this direction was leaving Xinjiang, and Lu Yao had no disappointment in his heart.

Walking up to the third floor, the situation is completely different from the two floors below, except for a store in Datang Yufang with the door open, the others have already closed down, and even the doors of the shops in the hurry are a little defeated.

"It should be here, let's go in and have a look!" Lu Yao shook his head helplessly and said to himself.

Looking at the entire Qinzhou Mall, there was nothing Lu Yao wanted on the first and second floors, and now only this store was open on the third floor, although Lu Yao did not doubt the judgment of leaving the territory, he was worried that this store would not be able to provide as many things as he needed.

"What do you want, sir, please come in and see, we have everything here!" A middle-aged man who looked dressed as a fairy wind dao bone saw Lu Yao nodding and shaking his head at the door of the store, and walked out of it with an octagonal fan in his hand and greeted warmly.

"Well, go in and have a look!" Lu Yao answered, and followed the middle-aged man into the store.

Entering the store, the middle-aged man waved the octagonal fan more frequently, and it seemed that he was also worried about whether he could make a big deal with Lu Yao today.

"Sir, just look at it, pick it anywhere, we are doing activities here now, as long as you have something you like, the price is negotiable!" The middle-aged man fanned his fan, followed behind Lu Yao, and said with a smile.

"Show me this!" Lu Yao slowly looked over the counter one by one, and when he saw a piece of jade that didn't look like it had been processed much, he pointed his finger on the glass of the counter and said.

"Wait a minute!" The middle-aged man responded, and soon put the jade that Lu Yao had taken a fancy in front of him, and said with a smile: "This is a good jade material, because we think it is more beautiful, so we have not processed it, if Mr. likes it, we can process it for you according to your requirements." ”

The middle-aged man's voice fell, and when he saw that Lu Yao had something to say, he suddenly remembered a very important thing, and hurriedly said: "However, I want to remind Mr. that if you fall in love with this jade, we will negotiate the price first, pay the money, and then we will process it for you. ”

"I know, what you mean is similar to gambling stones!" Lu Yaojian finally took his turn to speak, and said with a smile: "I want this stone, but I don't need you to process it, now you can directly say the price!" ”

"Twenty thousand!" The middle-aged man put down the fan in his hand, as if he had used a lot of force, and two words popped out from between his teeth.

"Huh!" Lu Yao smiled when he heard the other party's price.

"I really can't ......"

"20,000 is 20,000, I'll look at something else, you wrap this for me."

The man saw Lu Yao laughing and regretted it a little, but he didn't expect Lu Yao to say this.
