Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 154 Karakuri Box
"Eat all over the world? You are really willing to say with your old face! You are sitting and eating the sky, how come the superb skills left by your ancestors have been broken in your hands?" Zhou Nian was extremely angry, and the superb skills were not handed down, which made him very regretful.
When Doctor Zhang heard this, he was also a little aggrieved, and quickly shirked his responsibility, "This ...... How can I blame this? Even my father didn't learn the slightest bit of my great-grandfather's skin, so who should I go to?"
"You...... You don't know how to study it yourself?" Zhou Nian was also confused, and actually said a whimsical word.
"I? I don't have that talent. "Doctor Zhang Xian can't do anything else, but he is quite self-aware.
Zhou Nian obviously wouldn't give up, and continued to ask, "Then your ancestors didn't leave you any things related to charms except for the clavicle talisman?"
Immortal Doctor Zhang shook his head, "No, except for the clavicle talisman, there is only a small black box handed down from the ancestors, and nothing else." ”
"Black box?" As soon as he heard that there was still something, Zhou Nian immediately came to his senses and said urgently, "Where is the black box now?"
Pointing his chin with his index finger, Doctor Zhang recalled it carefully, and muttered, "I remember that I seemed to have thrown it into the firewood room, where the stove used for cooking didn't seem to be very stable, and I used it as a brick stove." ”
"What! Ancestral thing, you actually put the stove on the stove?"
This Immortal Doctor is really a talent, and the ancestral things can be treated as dross and used to make up the stove?
What a loser!
stepped forward and grabbed Doctor Zhang, Zhou Nian pulled him and rushed directly to the backyard, "Take me, take me quickly!"
"Huh?" Doctor Zhang was almost dragged down by Zhou Nian, staggered a few steps forward, was forced to lead the way, and finally came to the firewood room.
The girl behind him, the mustache and the pockmarked face and others, also hurriedly followed.
"Crunch!"
When I opened the door of the firewood room, a choking smell of oil smoke immediately hit my face, choking people only coughing.
"Ahem......"
Coughing lightly, Zhou Nian couldn't care about how long no one had cleaned up here at the moment, let go of Immortal Doctor Zhang's hand and walked into the firewood room, and went straight to the stove.
Under the boxy stove, a black box the size of a square brick is lying there alone, with a few old red bricks on it, which have been smoked by oil smoke all the year round, and they have turned black, and their hands are full of dirt when you touch them, and it is difficult to hold them steadily.
Holding the black box under his right hand, Zhou Nian pumped back hard, the speed was very fast, and the red bricks on it rolled down together, like a chain reaction, the corner of the stove was immediately tilted to the side, and a large black iron pot was being set up on it, and it fell to the ground with a bang, smashing out a big hole.
"Hey, my pot!" Doctor Zhang's face twitched, and his nature of picking the door suddenly made him feel a little distressed.
Wiping the grease on the black box, Zhou Nian directly ignored Immortal Doctor Zhang, staring at the dark and simple black box in his hand, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
The whole black box is sharp and angular, carefully compared, it is a few points shorter than the general bricks, the material is relatively light, it is effortless to hold in the hand, there is no rust on it, as if it is not corroded by the years, it does not look like an old object, but it looks a little new.
Although it is a bit new, Zhou Nian is naturally not stupid enough to treat it as a discarded thing like Zhang Xianyi, and what can be used as a family heirloom will be worthless rags?
With frowning brows, Zhou Nian was about to try to open the black box, but when his gaze fell on the six sides of the black box, he made a difficulty.
There are no bulges or strange places, no keyholes and buckles, just like a whole bag of tight iron lumps!
"Shhh...... How can this black box be opened?" Muttered, Zhou Nian began to look for the mechanism above.
Immortal Doctor Zhang on the side covered his mouth and snickered, which could make Zhou Nian deflated, he seemed to have a sense of accomplishment, and a smile appeared on his old face, he didn't mind falling into the well, "Hehe, it's useless, if I can find a way to open this thing, why should I leave it here?" I have been studying this thing for more than ten years, and it is not ...... at all."
He began to brag about his efforts proudly, and he didn't have any results, as if he had made himself look so hard, he really didn't want to be old.
But when his eyes noticed Zhou Nian's expression, he found that the other party didn't care about him at all, which was a bit of a slap in the face.
"Hey, boy, are you listening to me?" said Doctor Zhang Xian in a hurry.
However, Zhou Nian still ignored it, flipped through the black box over and over, and finally found three very small words on the edge of one of the sides - the Karakuri box.
"Karakuri box, what is this?" muttered in his heart, Zhou Nian was about to use brute force to break open the box, but when the aura he mobilized had not yet touched the box, the aura gathered was all uncontrollably sucked into the box!
"Shhh...... It's ......"
With a gasp, Zhou Nian's face changed dramatically, and at the same time, Doctor Zhang on the side almost smiled crookedly.
"Hahaha, how is it? Don't listen to the old man, suffer in front of you, who told you not to listen to my words, let me tell you the truth, this black box will take the initiative to absorb the aura in the cultivator's body, how much you mobilize from the dantian, it will be the first to suck it out, as soon as you move, it will suck it until it sucks you dry. ”
"What?, absorb aura?" Zhang Xianyi's reminder, Zhou Nian suddenly didn't dare to act rashly.
At the same time, the girl behind her suddenly became nervous after hearing Immortal Doctor Zhang's words, her pink fist clenched slightly, and she couldn't help muttering in her mouth, "Absorb aura? Could it be that this thing is a clever thing?"
"What?"
A whispered word, but it didn't escape Zhou Nian's ears, just the word "clever", the girl must know the cat!
Rushing to the girl, Zhou Nian asked cautiously, "Girl, do you know this thing?"
Meimu blinked slightly, and the girl glanced at the black box, then shook her head, "No, I don't know." ”
"Don't know?" Zhou Nian was suspicious, "I don't know how can you tell that it's a clever thing?"
The girl said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know the true name of this thing, I have heard my uncle talk about this knowledge before, but most of the tools that can actively absorb the spiritual energy in the cultivator's body are some clever things. ”
"Your uncle? Your uncle is ......."
"Oh, he's just a nobody in the City of Water, and his name doesn't deserve to be mentioned. Her eyes dodged slightly, and the girl prevaricated very carefully.
However, this rhetoric naturally can't hide from Zhou Nian's eyes, and he has never even heard of the tricks, so someone with that insight will be a nobody?
can know and know, but Zhou Nian didn't break it, after all, there are outsiders here, and if you continue to ask the bottom of the matter, it will inevitably leak the news.
His expression changed rapidly, and Zhou Nian walked towards Immortal Doctor Zhang again, and said with a smile, "Hehe, old man, since you don't plan to ask for this black box, can you sell it to me?"
"You, you want this?" Immortal Doctor Zhang subconsciously frowned.
Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe, I've always been very interested in strange things, if you are willing to endure the pain of love, I will be grateful." ”
As soon as the word "thank you?" came out, the flowery intestines in Doctor Zhang's heart immediately began to flood.
Needless to say, the kid in front of him is obviously interested in his family heirloom, anyway, this thing is also a discarded stove in his own hands, since someone has taken a fancy to it, so why not take advantage of this to knock him down?
There is no profit and he can't afford to be early, as long as he can make money, he is happy to let Zhang Xianyi sell his ancestral tomb.
The old face is changing rapidly, Zhang Xianyi is also an old oilman in the rivers and lakes, things are scarce and expensive, the quality of things depends on who they fall into to reflect its value, knowing that Zhou Nian likes this thing, Zhang Xianyi directly pretended to be very embarrassed in order to sell it at a good price, and his superb acting skills are even more uncomfortable than selling his father.
"Alas, little brother, I know that you are rare in this thing, but no matter how bad this thing is, it is also a treasure handed down from my ancestors, and you let me sell him to you, isn't this a betrayal of my ancestors? No, absolutely not!"
Betraying his ancestors? Would he really say that if he really respected his ancestors, he should have made a good offering to this thing a long time ago, and put it on the offering platform every now and then to offer incense, so why should he throw it in the firewood room to accumulate dust?
Now that I know how to respect my ancestors, why did I go earlier?
His brows furrowed slightly, how could Zhou Nian not see through Immortal Doctor's careful thoughts? I knew that he wanted to sell at a high price, but if the price was too high, it would inevitably make the other party kick his nose in the face, and then the lion opened his mouth.
The right hand slowly stretched out, and Zhou Nian directly stretched out 5 fingers, "I'll give 5000 babes, what do you think?"
"Huh?5000?" As soon as this number came out, Zhang Xianyi's face was unhappy, he could earn 50,000 yuan by asking questions before, why did the things he shot this time shrink so much all of a sudden?
Could it be that my expectations were too high?
No, there will definitely be a price increase!
Thinking like this in his heart, Immortal Doctor Zhang directly turned his head to the side, waiting for Zhou Nian to take the initiative to speak.
Raising his eyebrows, Zhou Nian knew that Immortal Doctor Zhang was deliberately stretching himself, but he was not in a hurry, because he still had a big chip in his hand, which was enough to make Immortal Doctor Zhang change his face immediately.
His fingers changed rapidly, and Zhou Nian continued, "If you don't think it's appropriate, 6000 babe, what do you think?"
"What?" all of a sudden it only increased by 1000 babees, which was obviously calling Huazi, Zhang Xian's face turned white, and he was about to get angry, but suddenly heard Zhou Nian follow without yin or yang.
"6000 babe, the previous grievances between the two of us have been written off, and in addition, I can also help you cure those stubborn diseases on your body. ”
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, Immortal Doctor Zhang suddenly jumped up from the ground, thanks to a thick pile of firewood next to him, so that he would not fall to the ground.
Pulling out his ears hard, Zhang Xianyi quickly climbed out of the firewood pile and said excitedly, "Little ...... Little brother, what did you just say, cure me of my stubborn disease?"
Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe, didn't the words I sent you before already point out the symptoms of those stubborn diseases? As long as you sell me this black box, our grievances will be written off, and you will be given 50,000 yuan for answering the question, plus the price of the black box, a total of 56,000 babees, in addition, I can immediately cure your stubborn diseases." ”
"Immediately?"
Even if there is time, it can be verified immediately, such a decisive style, Zhang Xianyi was not even vague, and quickly nodded, "Deal! As long as your method works, the black box will be yours!"
