Chapter 206: The Routine in the City is Deep
Old man, why haven't you arrived yet, you can't be the one who lied to us, right?"
Winding all the way, walking along the deep alley next to it for a long time, the shabby old man led the way in front, followed by Yang Yisong, Tong Lin and others, Li Yan saw that he was late, and said impatiently.
"Don't worry, it's almost there, it's almost there!" said the old man with a smile.
Li Yan and the others have been practicing in Yunxian Villa for the past few days, with a strong aura of vitality on their bodies, plus they are gorgeously dressed, and they look like big fat sheep.
Zhongzhou City is actually very large, neatly divided into four major areas, in each area, and divided into a tofu block area, the south city is a business district, full of prosperous shops, but also has a large number of residential houses.
In the middle of this deep alley, it winds and twists, and in a blink of an eye, you come to the front of an old house.
Although the proportion of Yuan Shi in Zhongzhou City is very high, the profession of Yuan Shi only occupies a minority, and there are very few people with talent, most of them are mortals who have no cultivation talent, so in Zhongzhou City, there are still many mortals.
The houses in this area are very dilapidated, the walls are covered with moss and other verdant plants, and the paint is mottled and falling, and it looks like a place for civilians to live.
"Baby is here, old man, you didn't lie to me, did you?!"
Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, Li Yan was a little dumbfounded, and turned his head to stare at the old man.
"Don't you dare to lie to you, I think my ancestor was also a master back then, and it is said that his cultivation has reached an extremely high level, and he is also prominent in Zhongzhou City, but it is just ...... Later, in a treasure hunt, my ancestor never came back, and the family was ruined, leaving only this treasure. ”
The old man sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, if I didn't need money urgently, I wouldn't have sold this treasure at all, alas!"
"Come on, let's go in and have a look. Li Yan waved his hand and said.
"Yes, yes, a few people please!"
The old man took a few people into the house and walked around, as expected, the house was surrounded by walls, and the only thing was a few wooden furniture, which was very old, and it could be seen that the family background was really not good.
There were no tables and chairs in this place, so Li Yan, Yang Yisong and the others had to stand here, waiting for the old man to go and get the treasure.
After a while, the old man came out with a sandalwood box in his hand.
"Look!" the old man carefully opened the sandalwood box, took out a picture scroll, placed it flat on a poplar table, and said to a few people with a smile.
Yang Yisong and Li Yan hurriedly leaned over to take a look, only to see that this was a very exquisite picture, the first thing that caught their eyes was the vast starry sky, dotted with stars, and below was a cliff, and there was a figure standing here with his back to the cliff, unable to see his face clearly, but carrying his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at the galaxy in the distance.
When the painting scroll is rolled out, an indescribable far-reaching artistic conception comes to the face, giving people an incomparably shocking feeling.
Yang Yisong and Li Yan glanced at each other, they were a little unsure, saying that this painting was good, but they didn't see anything famous, let alone any so-called ancient exercises, but it was not right to say that it was not good, this painting was obviously not simple, but it made the two of them a little puzzled.
"Just this broken painting, where is the ancient exercise?"
At this time, He Shan, who was next to him, came over and glanced twice, rolled his eyes and said.
Liang Wei and Li Feng also shook their heads, although this scroll is a good painting, but it can only be regarded as a painter, if it has something to do with the ancient exercises, it really can't be beaten.
"A few masters, there are definitely ancient exercises in this, this is passed down from my ancestors for generations, I dare to swear to the demon god, and you look at this material, this painter, where can Zhongzhou City find such a good painting......" The old man saw that his treasure was slandered, and hurriedly spoke.
"Ahem, then you say, how much do you want to sell for this broken painting?" Li Yan coughed and asked.
"No two prices, 10,000 stones!"
The old man said categorically.
"Yang Dashao, let's go!" Hearing this, Li Yan's eyes widened, and he turned around and left, 10,000 yuan stone, think about money and go crazy!
Li Yan and the others did not have no money, when their classmates and old friends arrived, of course Lin Ran would not be stingy, everyone gave a few hundred Lieyang Pills, and 10,000 yuan of stone was just five Lieyang Pills, but for Li Yan and them, it was a huge amount of money.
The annual income of the entire Fujishima is only one or two thousand yuan stone, and now a broken painting dares to sell it for 10,000 yuan, Li Yan feels that if the old dean and Teacher Helian know, he will definitely be scolded and bleed.
"Old man, you can sell the painting slowly!" He Shan said with a strange smile and walked outside.
"Hey, the price is negotiable! This is my family heirloom, if a few of you have comprehended the above exercises, you will definitely make a lot of money!" The old man suddenly became anxious and stopped a few people.
Yang Yisong smiled and said, "Since you said that there are ancient exercises on this scroll, then you say, has anyone come to enlightenment? Is there any proof?"
"This ......" The old man was dumbfounded, stammering and speechless.
"Since there is no proof, then I will find a random painting, it can also be said that there are ancient exercises, isn't it? Your price is indeed too high, 10,000 yuan stone, I spend 10,000 yuan stone, I can sell 100 pieces in Zhongzhou City, do you believe it?" Yang Yisong continued.
The old man couldn't speak, his mouth opened and closed twice, and he sighed, it seemed that this deal was going to be yellow again.
"However, you are right about one thing just now, the workmanship of this painting is indeed exquisite, the material is good, just when we first came to Zhongzhou, we saw that your painting is good, but you can buy it back and hang it on the wall as an ornament, when it is the price, it is impossible to come out so high." Yang Yisong said with a smile.
"You...... How much do you want to buy?"
When the old man saw that Yang Yisong was willing to buy, he was overjoyed, and asked quietly on his face.
"1,000 yuan stone, we won't buy more than 1,000 yuan stone!" Li Fatzi next to him suddenly perked up, and as soon as he touched his mouth, he immediately made a discount.
"What, a thousand yuan stone?"
The old man jumped up and shouted, "You are too ruthless in bargaining! This is a treasure that hides the ancient exercises, and a thousand yuan stones is too low!"
"Hmph, baby, who else do you think would want to buy your baby besides us?" Li Yan pouted and laughed.
"Add more, add more, and I'll sell it for 5,000 yuan!" The old man was sweating all over his body after hearing this, and a hot bubble appeared on his anxious mouth, in fact, Li Yan was really right, he had sold this scroll to different people before, but after a few years, no one was willing to buy it, thinking that it was just an ordinary painting.
Since it is an ordinary painting, it is naturally reluctant to buy it with 10,000 yuan, and everyone is not a fool.
Finally, Li Yan and a few people were willing to buy it, but he was actually loose in his heart, but he was unwilling to sell it so cheaply.
"It's just a thousand, if you don't want to sell us, can you leave?" Li Yan snorted.
A quarter of an hour later.
Li Yan left the house with a wooden box in his hand, and in the end, the old man had no choice but to sell this scroll to Li Yan for a thousand yuan stone, if he continued to put it in his hand, he didn't know how long it would take to sell it.
"Li Yan, you are really generous, a thousand yuan stone, I think you were deceived and bought a broken painting!" He Shan shook his head and said.
A thousand yuan stone is nothing to Lin Ran, but a few people have just come to Zhongzhou from Fuji Island, although they have a wealth of several hundred Lieyang Pills, they still can't help but feel heartache when they buy a painting with a thousand yuan stone.
"What do you know, this painting is not simple, maybe there are really ancient exercises. Li Yan was unhappy when he heard this, and glared at him.
"Gongzi He is right, Gongzi Li, you have indeed been deceived!"
Suddenly, the air distorted, and Mr. Oni Mist walked out with a folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile and shaking his head.
"I've seen Mr. Ghost Mist!" Seeing Ghost Mist Zhenyi, Li Yan, Yang Yisong, Liang Wei and other six people hurriedly bowed respectfully, although this Mr. Ghost Mist is Lin Ran's servant, but he is a life soul level master, they don't dare to take it big, they must remain respectful.
"Sir, you say I've been deceived?" Li Yan hurriedly asked.
Mr. Ghost Mist smiled and nodded: "I have been following you in the dark on the orders of my son, this is obviously a scam, where is the ancient practice so easy to obtain, the so-called ancestral picture scroll, hehe, is also fake." ”
Hearing Mr. Ghost Mist, a soul level master, say this, Li Yan suddenly became anxious, and said angrily: "I'll go find that old man!"
"Don't go, the old man has already run away now. Mr. Oniki shook his head and said.
"The routines of the people in the city are really deep!"
Li Yan was dumbfounded, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he didn't expect that he would be deceived as soon as he came to Zhongzhou City.
