Chapter 53: The First Pot of Gold

After finally coaxing the two Virgins and being forced to swear never to commit adultery to Pigs again, Zhang Bai was able to continue making charcoal strips.

When there was enough of it, he carefully wrapped it in small pieces of straw paper one by one, tied it tightly with thread, and a box of charcoal strips of pencils was finished.

After a few more days, the straw paper had accumulated a lot. Ma Ge's learning skills are quite good, coupled with the hard work of Qingchi, the output is very surprising.

At this point, there was nothing to do with this work, so he took advantage of his free time to bind two books with straw paper. In his previous life, he would memorize the Sutra and the Diamond Sutra, so he copied the Buddhist Sutra in the book and used it as a sample.

There was no pen and ink, so a charcoal strip pencil was used.

With his preparations at this point, he felt it was almost time to go into town.

Considering that Qing Chi did not know the local language, he asked Qing Chi to stay in the spaceship to watch his family, and also gave him a book of cultivation "Innate Pure Yang Gong", so that he could practice hard.

The scriptures for cultivation are all in Chinese, and Qing Chi can't understand it, but this scripture has more pictures, and Zhang Bai himself has practiced and knows better. So he taught him the method of cultivation, so during this time, Qing Chi could practice on his own.

Qing Chi took the scripture very gratefully, hid it in his arms, and swore to Zhang Bai that he would definitely watch the spaceship.

On the same day, the four of them set off, and before evening they arrived near the palace gate in the center of the city, and when they saw that it was getting late, they found a clean hotel to stay.

Because they had no money, they ate some jerky for dinner. After settling Mu Jing and the other three, Zhang Bai went out again.

Zhang Bai thought that there were still a lot of spirit beads in the treasure chest, which could be used as ordinary pearls. He walked around the city and found a pawnshop, ready to be a spirit bead for some money.

He traveled from the magic capital to the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and he had never touched a pawnshop in his life, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried. When you enter the door, this pawnshop is not at all like what you imagined, the Chinese-style pawnshop in the TV series is a bit like a jewelry store. All kinds of jewellery are sold directly in the store.

I asked the locals before, and I learned that this pawnshop was opened by a big man, and the price of things was the best in the local area, that is, the rules were big, and the things that should not be too cheap to look down on. Second, if something is not redeemed within a month, it will be owned by the pawnshop and can be sold at will.

Zhang Bai thought about it, there are hundreds of these spirit beads by himself, and it doesn't matter whether he redeems them or not, the main thing is that the price is good. After all, the spirit bead is sold at a price in the world, and it has fallen no matter what.

There were three people sitting in the store, two bodyguards, and one guy.

The bodyguard was sitting and chatting, and the guy was settling accounts.

This guy has a beard and a pair of rat eyes, and he keeps spinning. The man was short and thin, but he had a huge turban wrapped around his head, and when he looked down and counted the accounts, his face was almost gone.

He was busy when he saw a child come in. Then he scolded loudly: "Where is the little devil, don't run in to play, be careful to break things, and sell you as a slave." ”

The two bodyguards also stood up and made a scaring appearance very professionally.

Zhang Bai laughed: "What kind of devil would come from a big man thousands of miles away and make a special trip to your shop to break things? I am the son of a merchant, and I came here to be a worker." ”

As soon as the guy heard the big man, he immediately opened his eyes wide and looked Zhang Bai up and down. Seeing that although Zhang Bai is a child, his clothes and face are not clean enough, but the clothes are very different from the locals, and the clothes are even more satin, which is absolutely unsightly.

Sure enough, it is a Han person, or in addition to the rich and noble, who can afford to wear this for local children.

He immediately stood up and said with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be a young master from afar? I'm really sorry, welcome to you." He then stroked his chest and saluted, and when the two bodyguards saw it, they also sat aside.

"Don't blame those who don't know! We originally planned to go back to our hometown, but the entanglement is a little insufficient, and if we want to take this away, please make a price!" Zhang Bai smiled, stretched out his hand and spread out his palm, and a spirit bead appeared in front of him.

"It turned out to be a pearl, I'll identify it right away, little master, sit here." Come on, serve crisp tea. ”

After a while, the guy finished appraising it, came over and frowned, and said, "This bead should be from Persia, right?" The shape is fine, but it is a little smaller, and it is still an old item, even if you have three gold coins." ”

"It's not from Persia, I brought it out of Kunlun Mountain, this is not an ordinary pearl, you can see clearly. Zhang Bai retorted.

"You child, pearls can only be produced from the sea, how can they grow in the mountains?"

"There are pearls in the lake in the mountains. ”

The guy shook his head: "No matter what you say, this pearl can only be three gold coins, you can not be too little, we don't care." ”

Zhang Bai sighed, he had to put away the spirit bead, a spirit bead was only three gold coins, he was really reluctant. But if you don't have the capital, how can you do business?

The man saw that he was depressed, and said, "You can inquire around the neighborhood, the price of our shop is the fairest, go back and discuss with your family before coming." ”

At this time, he looked at Zhang Bai's clothes again, and said, "Your silk clothes are okay, but they are worth six silver coins, should you deserve it?"

When Zhang Bai heard this, he looked down and saw that he was still wearing the clothes of a disciple of the Eastern Prince's Mansion! He had never been very concerned about his appearance, and his clothes were dirty and washed, as long as he could wear them.

This place is thousands of miles away from the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and the group is hiding from the enemy, and it is really inappropriate to wear the clothes of the former disciples.

"Okay," Zhang Bai immediately agreed, "but do you have any old clothes for me to change." ”

The man promised yes and immediately asked him to go inside and change his clothes. Zhang Bai took out the sundries he was carrying, put them on the counter, and went to change his clothes.

The old clothes are naturally local clothes, bulky and ill-fitting, and they are still hufu, but they will be worn. "Today's left. Zhang Bai muttered to himself.

After changing clothes, he came out and took the silver coin handed by the guy. He went to the counter to retrieve his belongings, but found that something was missing, which were his two Buddhist scriptures.

At this time, a man's voice next to him asked, "Is this your thing?"

Zhang Bai followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man holding two books in his hand, one of which was opened, which was the "Diamond Sutra" he copied.

The man was tall, with a fair face, and a beard that was neatly groomed. He had a large turban on his head and a blue gem in the middle, and he was dressed luxuriously.

"Of course it's mine, just look at the paper of this book, it's a family handiwork. Zhang Bai held his head high shamelessly.

The guy next to him hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and saluted: "Master, you are back, this half-old child said that he came from Dahan and became a silk dress, you said last time that someone wanted it, I took it." ”

"But there is such a thing, it is a servant in the palace, who is short in stature, loves silk, and does not dare to swagger in the palace. I just wanted to find him a good old dress. ”

Saying that, the old man turned his face, "I want these two Buddhist scriptures for you, the Heart Sutra is short, just two gold coins, the Diamond Sutra is relatively long, it must be troublesome to copy, three gold coins, how about it?"

Zhang Bai was overjoyed, thinking that I would just copy as many scriptures as I wanted. He immediately replied: "The Heart Sutra has three gold coins, and the Diamond Sutra is so long, only five gold coins will do." ”

The old man laughed, "You are very good at business! In this case, I want ten copies of the Diamond Sutra, twenty copies of the Heart Sutra, and will you be able to separate the Noble Truths Sutra? If you can, you will also need one copy, and they all have to be bound with this kind of paper." ”

He looked at Zhang Bai with deep eyes: "If you can complete it all, I will give you one hundred and fifty gold coins." ”
