Chapter 5: Trickery
Nine days passed in a flash.
In the past nine days, Xiao Yi's cultivation has become more and more stable, and he is also one step closer to the Qi Gathering Realm.
At noon, the sun is blazing.
Since getting up early, Xiao Yat has played "Bajiquan" once, and practiced "Soul Chasing and Killing Sword" for two hours.
"Xiao Yi, it's time to eat."
Aunt Mei's voice came from outside the door, after that day, Aunt Mei's attitude towards Xiao Yi eased a little, looked at him in stinky sweat, frowned, and said, "Tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the head of the family, Miss asked me to ask you how your clothes are prepared?" ”
"I'll go later!"
"You can have a snack! The birthday banquet of the head of the family, people with heads and faces in Southern Wilderness City will come over, and many of them have pursued Miss. You're not comparable to those talents, so you should dress decently......"
Aunt Mei thought to herself, "The one hundred taels of silver that Miss gave you is enough to go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy a good dress, remember to go, don't embarrass Miss again!" ”
…………
The Treasure Pavilion is located in the south of the South Wilderness City, and is divided into the outer pavilion and the cabinet.
The outer pavilion is dominated by stalls, dazzling, everything, but the fish and dragons are mixed, true and false, and the quality is not guaranteed.
The cabinet is a high-end product, but the value is extremely expensive, any piece of clothing costs dozens of taels of silver, which is enough for an ordinary family of five to spend for half a year, and ordinary people can rarely spend in the cabinet.
"Huh?"
When passing by a stall, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up.
The stall owner was an emaciated old man, and there was only one black iron dragon statue on the stall.
"Obsidian Spirit?"
With the ability and experience of the deadly scholar to appreciate antique paintings and calligraphy, Xiao Yat can see at a glance that there is a mystery in this statue, and it is not an ordinary object.
"How do you sell this statue?"
The old man said, "Fifty taels of silver!" ”
Xiao Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I want it!" ”
The old man's face was happy, and he was about to take the silver taels in Xiao Yi's hand.
But at this moment, a lazy voice came from the side: "This statue is for this young master!" ”
The person who came was a young man in a brocade robe, holding a folding fan and fanning it gently, with a proud face, not taking Xiao Yi in his eyes at all.
Xiao Yi's face was slightly cold, and he said, "It seems that I fell in love with this statue first, right?" ”
"Did you like it first? You ask the stall owner if he sells it to you? The young man sneered, looked at the old man and said, "Old man, who are you going to sell this statue to?" ”
The old man pretended to hesitate and said, "It is indeed the ...... that this little brother fell in love with first."
The young man said lightly: "I'll give one hundred taels!" ”
The old man hurriedly looked at Xiao Yi.
The young man provoked: "What? You can't afford to be out of it for only one hundred taels? ”
"One singing and one harmony, the cooperation is very skillful."
Looking at the young old man in front of him, Xiao Yi sneered in his heart, although the two of them were well disguised, their detailed expressions could not escape their eyes.
This kind of trick, although it can fool others, can't fool yourself now.
"If you want to turn your left hand to your right hand, take it."
After speaking, Xiao Yi didn't take a second look, turned around and prepared to leave, although a statue containing a golden obsidian spirit was quite valuable, it didn't have much effect on him, he didn't have time to play this kind of pediatric trick with this young old man.
"Huh?"
Xiao Yi's reaction to give up directly made the faces of the old man and young man sink instantly, they had cooperated with this kind of agitation many times before, but they didn't expect to lose this time.
"Little brother, don't go, although I love money, but I still have to pay attention to principles in business, this statue is the first thing you see, no matter how much other people sell, I will only sell this statue to you, fifty taels, deal, never regret it!"
Seeing that the trade was going to be yellow, the young man immediately gave the old man a look, and then the old man hurriedly chased to Xiao Yi and handed the statue to Xiao Yi, for fear that Xiao Yi would regret it.
"Deal!"
Xiao Yi did not refuse, and casually threw the fifty taels of silver to the old man, just to leave.
"Hahaha......"
Seeing that the dust had settled, the young man suddenly laughed: "Boy, I didn't expect you to have a little eyesight, knowing that I was maliciously raising the price and unwilling to spend more money, but so what, this statue is just made of scrap iron, not even a tael of silver, fifty taels, Lao Tzu also earns blood!" ”
"What's going on?"
"Didn't he just fight for the statue? Why do you suddenly say that this statue is fake? Is he in league with this old man? ”
I saw that the old man stepped forward respectfully, handed over the fifty taels of silver in his hand to the young man, and said with a flattering face: "Master Leopard is wise! ”
"Damn, is this a scam?"
"Master Leopard? Is he the young leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Lei Leopard? ”
Seeing Xiao Yi being deceived, everyone had no sympathy, and some just gloated.
Lei Leopard shook the fifty taels of silver in his hand: "Boy, there will be no pie in the sky, if it is really a priceless treasure Leopard Master, I would have put it away, how can I still get your turn?" Hahaha......"
"Self-righteous, with eyes without beads......"
Xiao Yi glanced at it and smiled coldly.
At this time......
An old figure suddenly walked in the crowd, and walked straight to Xiao Yi, with a smile in his eyes: "Little brother, I'm very interested in this statue, can you lend me a look?" ”
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please!" ”
Yan Lao took the statue and looked at it carefully.
The more I looked at him, the more solemn his expression became.
Seeing this, Lei Leopard showed a cold mockery, and said with an arrogant face: "Old man, you better not waste time here. This is just scrap iron collected by Young Master Ben for one or two silver, and it is not a valuable thing at all,......"
The old man just glanced back at Lei Leopard, and said indifferently: "I, Yan Mingli, have been in charge of the Treasure Pavilion for thirty years, is it possible that I can't even distinguish between scrap iron and treasures?" ”
"What? He turned out to be Yan Mingli? ”
", Yan Lao is the pavilion master of the Treasure Pavilion, and his ability to appreciate treasures is the best in the Southern Wilderness City. He actually fell in love with this statue, could it be that this is a treasure? ”
"Zhen, Zhen?"
Lei Leopard looked confused.
He had naturally heard of Yan Mingli's name, this was the leader of the treasure appreciation industry in Southern Wilderness City, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a grunt, and Lei Leopard said tentatively: "Yan, Yan Lao, you shouldn't be looking away, right?" It's really just scrap metal......"
Syllable!
Yan Lao turned around and slapped Lei Leopard's eyes, snorted coldly, and said proudly: "Even if your father is here, I don't dare to say that I have lost my eyes." Gently caressing the statue with his palm, Yan Lao asked, "Little brother, are you willing to make a move on this statue?" ”
Xiao Yi said: "If the price is right, you will naturally shoot!" ”
Yan Lao said tentatively: "How about ten thousand taels?" ”
Hiss!
There was a gasp around them.
Especially Lei Leopard twitched the corners of his eyes, his eyes turned red, and he stared at the statue in Yan Lao's hand.
Ten thousand taels of silver!
He only spent one or two to buy it, which is 10,000 times!
Just now I was still complacent about pitting Xiao Yi for fifty taels, thinking that Xiao Yi was a wronged boss who didn't understand anything, and this moment it became a treasure worth ten thousand taels?
Xiao Yi said lightly: "Your price is very insincere!" ”
"What?"
"10,000 taels is too low?"
More and more people gathered around, and they were all stunned when they saw that Xiao Yi actually rejected Yan Lao's offer.
Lei Leopard was jealous, and evil was born to the side of the guts, since Lao Tzu couldn't get it, he wouldn't let you get it, so he immediately shouted: "Boy, how can you talk to Yan Lao?" Yan Lao has taken a fancy to your things, this is your blessing, you should take the initiative to give it to his old man......"
“……”
Yan Lao didn't pay attention to Lei Leopard at all, just nodded after a moment of silence and said, "Little brother is right, such a complete statue made of obsidian, ten thousand taels is indeed old and stingy. Well, I'll give 50,000 taels, how about it? ”
Rumble!
The leopard's body shook and almost fell.
Fifty thousand taels?
Lao Tzu worked hard to set up a bureau and bought a hundred taels and was complacent, but he gave away the treasure worth 50,000 taels of silver?
I, my Tema's ......
Lei Leopard couldn't wait to slap himself hard.
"It's still low!" Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Yan Lao frowned, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
Fifty thousand taels is already a very fair price, Xiao Yi is still not satisfied?
Xiao Yi sighed and said, "I thought that you could be in charge of the Treasure Pavilion, and your treasure appreciation ability should not disappoint me, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that!" ”
Yan Lao's face sank.
He has been in charge of the Treasure Pavilion for more than 30 years, and he has seen countless treasures, and no one has ever dared to question his ability to appreciate treasures. Now Xiao Yat actually said that he was nothing more than that? Even with Yan Lao's heart, there was a little more anger on his face.
Seeing this, Lei Leopard was overjoyed, and scolded sharply: "Bold! Yan Lao has seen more treasures than you have ever eaten, what are you? Dare to question Yan Lao's ability to appreciate treasures? ”
Xiao Yi directly ignored Lei Leopard, and his clear eyes fell on Yan Lao: "If it is a statue made of golden obsidian, fifty thousand taels is indeed very fair, but what if it is a golden obsidian spirit?" ”
Airplanes!
Yan Lao was shocked, and his breathing became short: "Golden Obsidian Spirit? Are you saying this statue was made by the Obsidian Spirit? ”
Xiao Yat said: "You will know if you try it!" ”
Yan Lao flicked his fingers, and pure vitality poured into the statue.
Airplanes!
The pitch-black statue suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and the dragon's body suddenly turned golden, and there was a golden liquid flowing inside the dragon's body.
"It's really a golden obsidian spirit! I didn't expect that I, Yan Mingli, would have the opportunity to meet the golden obsidian spirit in my life, hahaha......"
Yan Lao was so excited that he was in tears, and the thunder leopard who had seen a plate was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of treasure is this?
Even the tall Yan Lao cried excitedly?
Lei Leopard swallowed his saliva and looked at Yan Lao tentatively: "Yan, Yan Lao, is this statue really worth 50,000?" ”
Yan Lao said: "Fifty thousand? Hmph, it's about double again! ”
Hiss!
The leopard froze in place as if struck by lightning.
Yan Lao looked at Xiao Yi with a little more appreciation, even he didn't see that this was the golden obsidian spirit, Xiao Yi's methods in appreciating treasures were also recognized by him, and said in a deep voice: "Little brother, I am willing to give 100,000 taels for this statue, I don't know what the little brother thinks?" ”
Xiao Yi nodded: "Yes!" ”
Yan Lao glanced at the more and more people around him, and frowned: "There are many people here, let's go to the cabinet to discuss in detail?" ”
The two left side by side.
Everyone looked at the stunned Lei Leopard, their eyes full of ridicule and pity: "Cool, this Black Tiger Gang has set up a lot of tricks to harm people, today is really stealing chickens and not losing a handful of rice!" ”
"A treasure worth 100,000 yuan, he actually gave it away to others......"
"This is called evil retribution!"
Lei Leopard trembled, and the words from around him were like invisible slaps in his face, and there was a hot pain!
"I, my money, ......"
Lei Leopard only felt dizzy, the world was spinning, a pair of eyes were full of hideousness and madness, staring at Xiao Yi's departing back, "Dog mongrel, dare to snatch food from the mouth of this young tiger, I will definitely let you spit it out with profit!" ”
