Chapter 427: Profiteers
Looking at An Luoyan's fleeing back, Ling Yu cried out in his heart, he was more wronged than anyone else. An Luoyan hadn't told him that there was such an environment in the enchantment before, and if a person fell into the boundless darkness in an instant, he would definitely find a way to grab everything around him, which was human instinct. Because when people don't understand the environment they are in, grasping something can at least make him feel more secure, although this is unfounded, but it is an indisputable fact. But at the same time, Ling Yu was also very guilty of his rudeness just now. In the eyes of outsiders, An Luoyan was hot and bold, like a witch, but Ling Yu knew that it was just another means for An Luoyan to protect herself. The real An Luoyan is very quiet, even conservative. Now that there is such a trouble, An Luoyan can't wait to break his body into thousands of pieces before he can relieve his anger.
Ling Yu buried her head under the stone steps, for fear that An Luoyan would come back and not have the face to see her after a while. But Ling Yu waited for about a quarter of an hour, and he didn't see An Luoyan return. In desperation, Ling Yu had no choice but to struggle to stand up and limp forward.
In fact, even if there was no An Luoyan to guide the way now, Ling Yu knew how to go on the rest of the road, because there was only a dark stone staircase in front of Ling Yu that could not see the end, and there were hard stone walls dug by hand on both sides, maybe after walking this journey, he would be able to reach the end.
At this time, Ling Yu had already regained his vision, although the scene in the stone steps was still not very real, but it was no longer enough to fall. Like a lone wanderer in a cold night, he walked on this lonely road for another half an hour, and finally there was a glimmer of light ahead.
Ling Yu looked at the other side, which was as dazzling as the starry sky, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He brace himself and hurried towards the light. After half an hour of cultivation, the part of his body that was injured by the stone steps has been restored to its original state, and he sensed it, uh, it can still be used.
When Ling Yu came to the end of the corridor, he found that a stone gate appeared in front of him, although the stone door was tightly closed, Ling Yu believed that this must be some kind of mechanism manipulating. The stone gate is about two zhang wide, and it is said that it is a stone gate, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a stone wall. On the stone wall, there are intricate patterns and patterns carved, and the plants, trees, birds and beasts on it are vivid and lifelike. On both sides of the stone gate, two stone platforms were built, and torches the thickness of arms were inserted on the stone platforms. It was the glimmer of these two torches that led Ling Yu here. At this time, An Luoyan was standing in front of the stone wall and pondering, her face was expressionless, her eyes were blank, and she didn't know what she was thinking. An Luoyan was so fascinated that Ling Yu didn't even notice it when she came to her side. The stunned expression was like a green lotus under the lamp, quiet, safe and gorgeous.
"Uh, Senior Sister An, is Senior Ji inside this stone door?" Ling Yu lingered for a long time, but still didn't see An Luoyan come back to his senses, so he had to step forward and ask embarrassedly. In fact, he just didn't have anything to say, An Luoyan stayed here, and it already explained everything.
Maybe An Luoyan was so immersed in her own thoughts that Ling Yu's sudden opening startled her. Seeing that Ling Yu had a slightly embarrassed look in her guilt, An Luo was not annoyed, nor was she scolded, she secretly gritted her silver teeth, no longer paid attention to Ling Yu, and did not say a word to Ling Yu. I saw An Luoyan turn around and come to the two stone platforms, take out an iron pillar the size of a ring finger from his arms, insert the iron pillar into the hole under the two stone platforms in turn, and rotate each to the right twice. With a soft "crunch", the stone door opened.
After opening the stone gate, An Luoyan didn't pay attention to Ling Yu, but walked into the stone gate by himself. Seeing that An Luo's smoke had not yet disappeared, Ling Yu did not dare to touch her moldy head. I had to touch my nose helplessly, and followed An Luoyan towards the inside of the stone gate.
The stone steps that Ling Yu walked on had always been downward, that was to say, this place was at least thirty zhang underground. Being able to hollow out the green mountain and carve out such a vast world under it, it seems that the means of the Tongling Pavilion are really not to be underestimated.
Inside the stone gate is a large hall with a square of 20 zhang, and the floor of the main hall is covered with a soft red silk carpet, making people step on it as if they are walking on the clouds. From the stone gate of the main hall to the end of the main hall, a stone platform was built on both sides of the stone wall with a height of one zhang, and the burning torches on it shone with a pale golden light, and it was not known what kind of substance was burning. The top of the main hall is inlaid with countless fist-sized night pearls, which are like starry sky embedded in the mountain, which is beautiful and luxurious. In the main hall, there are two rows of Taishi chairs made of dragon's blood, there are four on the left and right, and a coffee table is placed in the middle of each of the two Taishi chairs, which is very regular. Dragon's blood wood has the effect of refreshing and refreshing, enhancing cultivation, it is difficult to find in the world, I didn't expect it to be used as an ordinary chair here, it can be seen that the means of the Psychic Pavilion are all over the sky, and the background is very.
At the end of the stone gate, there is a one-zhang high platform, and nine stone stairs lead to the top of the platform. On the platform was an even larger Taishi chair, on which sat a handsome man of about twenty-five years old, who was none other than one of the leaders of the Tongling Pavilion, Ji Luosheng.
"Senior Ji, the people have already brought. An Luoyan walked to the front of the stone platform, saluted Ji Luosheng respectfully, and spoke. An Luoyan regained her previous look at this time, she bowed her head slightly, and she could no longer see that she was annoyed by Ling Yu's unintentional actions before.
"Well, that's good, there's nothing going on here, you go down first. Ji Luosheng looked up at An Luoyan, glanced at Ling Yu behind her, nodded lightly, and said with a smile. Although Ji Luosheng seems to be only in his twenties, his real age is already nearly 1,000 years old.
"Yes!" An Luoyan agreed, turning his head and walking outside the main hall. At this moment, Ling Yu was standing behind her, and An Luoyan suddenly turned around and almost crashed into Ling Yu's arms. An Luoyan saw Ling Yu who was at a loss, and her heart was even more angry, her jade face was slightly red, she snorted coldly, and walked out.
Looking at An Luoyan's blushing cheeks, Ji Luosheng looked at Ling Yu, and a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes. It wasn't until An Luoyan left the main hall and closed the stone gate again that Ji Luosheng whispered to Ling Yu, "Boy, are you bullying us Luoyan?"
Looking at Ji Luosheng's deep gaze, Ling Yu secretly swallowed her saliva, and then pretended to be casual, and said with a smile: "How is it possible, I have a very good personal relationship with Senior Sister An, besides, with her character, the person who can bully her should not be born yet." ”
Although Ling Yu didn't know what the other party guessed, he only had one point, and he didn't admit it to death. Although Ji Luosheng seemed to be talking and laughing, Ling Yu could still feel the importance he attached to An Luoyan, if he knew that he had bullied An Luoyan, it would be strange if he didn't skin himself alive.
Seeing Ling Yu's denial, his head shook like a rattle, Ji Luosheng didn't ask any more, he walked to the edge of the stone platform, looked at the stone gate and sighed lightly: "It's not that the person who can bully An Luoyan hasn't been born yet, it's her character that won't make the worldly traitor succeed." This girl has a strong temperament, if she is really bullied one day, it is not that the person is too strong, but that she is willing to be bullied by that person. Alas, in fact, she is also a poor person, a woman is swaying alone in the red dust, without support, without a few bosom friends, it is difficult for her. ”
"By the way, I heard that you asked Luo Yan's girl to bring me a letter saying that she wanted to buy some news, right? Tell me, what's going on?" Ji Luosheng thought of An Luoyan's experience, and sighed sincerely. However, he didn't continue, but changed the topic and asked Ling Yu.
"I want to know when those ancient boats outside Huaxia will be able to return to Huaxia at this time, and I need the exact time so that I can formulate countermeasures. Seeing that Ji Luosheng didn't continue, Ling Yu didn't ask any more, he hugged his fists at Ji Luosheng, and said with a straight face.
"Hahaha, your ambition is not small, even if you know when the ancient boat of Wanxing will arrive, what can you change? What you want to do is already being done, and with your cultivation, even if you can contribute a little strength, it will be a drop in the bucket. Ji Luosheng said.
"Somebody is doing it......? But even if I can't resist the Ten Thousand Stars powerhouse that attacks again, I will do my best to fight and die rather than live. Ling Yu pondered for a moment and replied loudly. If it was really Mr. They intercepted in the starry sky, so much the better.
"I'd rather die in battle than live? Hmph, reckless man! The big husband can bend and stretch, but he can outwit the world, if everyone in Huaxia is like you, then there is no hope for Huaxia. As for who is doing what you want, I can't tell you, because our Pavilion Master promised them to keep it a secret for them. But since you want to know the secrets of those ancient ships in the starry sky, I can tell you that with three hundred fairy crystals, you will know all their whereabouts. Ji Luosheng seemed to be angry because of Ling Yu's reckless bravery, and said in a deep voice.
"Three hundred, why don't you go and grab it! I'm a little-known cultivator, where can I give you so many immortal crystals. Three hundred no, at most a hundred. Hearing Ji Luosheng's answer with a big mouth, Ling Yu jumped up and bargained loudly.
"Three hundred and five. ”
"One hundred and fifteen. ”
"Four hundred and two. ”
"Two hundred. ”
"Four hundred and eight. ”
"Two hundred and four. ”
"Five hundred and five. ”
"Three hundred. ”
"Six hundred. ”
"No, I agreed to three hundred fairy crystals, why are you still going up!" Seeing that Ji Luosheng still raised the price of the news, Ling Yu roared angrily with a crying voice. Speaking of bargaining, how could Ling Yu be Ji Luosheng's opponent. He wanted to push the price down, but unexpectedly, Ji Luosheng shouted higher and higher, and Ling Yu had no choice but to follow the price quoted by Ji Luosheng to three hundred fairy crystals.
"This is what you said, three hundred fairy crystals, not one is missing. Seeing Ling Yu take the bait, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Ji Luosheng's mouth, as if he had expected the current result. Ji Luosheng stepped off the slow platform, patted Ling Yu's shoulder, and said with a smile.
"You profiteer, if I find out that your news is inaccurate, I will definitely spread it around Huaxia, so that the Tongling Pavilion will no longer have a foothold. Looking at the triumphant smile in Ji Luosheng's eyes, Ling Yu threw the only three hundred fairy crystals onto the coffee table and said hatefully.
"Rest assured, our news is obtained through special channels to ensure the accuracy of the information. And, for the sake of your generosity, I'll give you one more message, which will definitely make you feel like it's worth the money. Ji Luosheng held the spar in his hand, stared at the spar with shining eyes, and said casually.
"Hmph, I hope so. Alright, old profiteer, you've received the hedron too, so it's time to tell me the news. Ling Yu looked at Ji Luosheng's insatiable philistine face, and wanted to imprint the soles of his shoes on the other party's face. He picked up the teapot, poured a sip of herbal tea, and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, in order to wish us a happy transaction, let's warm up with a cup of hot tea first. Seeing Ling Yu holding the teapot and sucking the cow, Ji Luosheng rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
After Ji Luosheng finished speaking, he clapped his hands at the side hall on the left side of the main hall, only to see two boys walking out with a pot of hot tea, and they respectfully placed the teapot in front of Ling Yu and filled it for him.
"Why do I think you're a little ill-intentioned! This can't be the black shop opened by your Tongling Pavilion in Huaxia, right?" Ling Yu looked at Ji Luosheng's smiling expression, and his heart became more and more vigilant, he drank all the hot tea and asked softly.
"Don't worry, our Tongling Pavilion has the first reputation, and its reputation is full of China, how can it happen like a small shop in the market. Come on, come on, have another drink. Ji Luosheng replied with a chuckle, and at the same time personally poured the tea for Ling Yu.
When he saw that Ling Yu had drunk three cups of fragrant tea in a row, and the teapot had bottomed out, Ji Luosheng said unhurriedly to Ling Yu: "The cost of the news is three hundred fairy crystals, and the fragrant tea you drank just now is boiled from the spring water of Tianshan Mountain, ten fairy crystals. ”
"What! Tea still costs money? No, not to be killed, you don't want to cheat another hedron from me. Hearing Ji Luosheng's words, Ling Yu got up angrily, he tightly protected the Realm Spirit Ring with both hands, and refused extremely firmly.
"Ling Xiaoyou, you can't be unreasonable, our Tongling Pavilion's Tianshan Spring Drink has always been at this price, the price is fair, Tong Su is not bullied!" Seeing Ling Yu's eyebrows trembling slightly because of anger, Ji Luochang sighed and said with a pleasant face.
"Profiteer, I won't buy the news, return the money, hurry up and return the money!" Ling Yu was so angry by Ji Luosheng's actions that his teeth itched, he pointed at Ji Luosheng's nose and scolded angrily. Ling Yu had the heart to die at this time, he was really unladylike, he couldn't imagine that Ji Luosheng, who seemed to be upright, would be so treacherous, and even he was as good as Xiao Hei and Wu Dao.
"Oh, forget it, don't be so angry, this pot of tea is what I invited you. Calm down, I'll tell you about the dozens of ancient boats in the starry sky. Ji Luosheng felt Ling Yu's imminent collapse, and hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile.
