Volume 1 Chapter 14 The Fish in the Pond, the Moon by the Pillow (7)
"If you really want to compete for hegemony, then make good use of your family's property, follow the Xuantan Chamber of Commerce's roving auction to buy some useful things, find some more famous local treasure connoisseurs, and suffer less losses. Don't spend your money on some superfluous things, such as some industries, some luxuries, these things can be done after you take the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Out of friendship, Su Xuan still gave some guidance to Wan Jia.
Wan Jia didn't say that he kept it in mind, but he also thanked Su Xuan verbally.
On weekdays, they don't say that they put the cart before the horse, but they are just dizzy, but they can't see it as well as an outsider. The so-called bystander is clear, and this is the truth.
But Su Xuan didn't say anything, that is, in fact, if a family really wants to get ahead, it will never be able to go through such a conventional channel. The old Zhao didn't treat these families as human beings at all, they just treated these families as leeks, if there was nothing to do, they would be free-ranged, and if there was a demand, they would harvest a wave.
The poor family is still playing the game designed by the old call, and they are in front of the leeks with peace of mind, scrambling to be the first to be harvested.
Su Xuan still didn't say what was in his heart after all, everyone has their own ambitions, Zifei is not a leek, and he knows the joy of leeks?
After bidding farewell to Wanjia, Su Xuan returned to the inn.
After an auction, Su Xuan got the two most peculiar auction items in the whole auction, in terms of preciousness and value, these two things are definitely inferior to Xuan Jingxin, but for now, Xuan Jingxin is of little use to Su Xuan, not to mention that he already has one in his hand.
Of course, if Su Xuan really made a bold statement to ask Wan Jia to buy Xuan Jing Xin for himself, Wan Jia would probably kill Su Xuan without hesitation. In Wan Jia's opinion, treating Su Xuan as a visionary is already giving him face, and if he doesn't cherish it, there is no way.
Put the two treasures I just bought on the table, the Martial Emperor Hairpin and the Taixu Seal are the same, they are both imperial treasures, and the purpose is obvious, they are used to assist in cultivation. And that fish, Su Xuan looked at the fish tank back and forth, he really didn't know what this fish was for.
"It can't be eaten, right?" Su Xuan muttered to himself.
As if he could hear Su Xuan's words, the fish was so frightened that he hurriedly drilled into the depths of the fish tank.
After Su Xuan discovered this detail, he stared at the goldfish.
"Can you understand human speech?" asked Su Xuan.
Whisk followed and stared at the frightened goldfish.
The goldfish has a black body, a tail like a butterfly, and eyes like a dragon, although the appearance is not very amazing, but it is still very attractive to taste.
"Less, do you know this guy?" Su Xuan watched the goldfish drill into the other end of the fish tank one by one, without answering questions or making other movements, so he had to ask the onlookers.
"This fish should be a kind of dragon eye, which belongs to the dragon eye. Fuchen replied solemnly.
"What kind of mysterious beast is that?" asked Su Xuan. For this kind of mysterious beast that he is not familiar with, he has inexplicable persistence and curiosity. Su Xuan is known to be omniscient in occult arts.
Fuchen hated himself and couldn't smile bitterly: "This is not a mysterious beast, it is an ordinary goldfish." ”
Su Xuan stared at the goldfish and didn't let go.
"Are you sure?" he said.
"Wake up, it's really just an ordinary goldfish, if you don't believe it, you can buy a male goldfish and breed it. Whisk said.
Hearing this, the goldfish became even more flustered and began to spin around the entire fish tank.
"I always felt that there was something unusual about it, and there was an inexplicable feeling that told me that it could understand us. Su Xuan said.
"Wake up, it's just an ordinary fish!" said Dusty.
The goldfish are still spinning in the tank. I don't know what I want to show.
"I think it's occult. Su Xuan suddenly said again.
The goldfish stopped moving, and then it spun in the opposite direction, and kept spinning. However, no one paid attention to it, just thought it was swimming normally.
"I suggest you get some sleep and calm down. Fuchen said, "Where did you feel the fluctuations in the Xuan Power on its body?"
"Maybe it's stronger than me?" Su Xuan said.
Fuchen was even more speechless: "If it's stronger than you, then why didn't it jump out of the fish tank and slap you?"
Su Xuan was silent.
The fish was also silent.
Su Xuan looked at the fish, and the fish looked at Su Xuan.
"I just hate. Su Xuan said, "I can buy a fish that can't do anything with three dollars of silver, and I can use it for a month to buy a broken sheep's hair for thirty dollars of silver, what can I do with it to buy fish? I can only eat one thing a day for one week and three days." ”
The fish moved suddenly, and as if it heard what Fuchen said, it jumped out of the fish tank and slapped Su Xuan hard.
"Oh, what is this for!" Su Xuan covered his face and looked at the fish in surprise.
It was naturally impossible to return to the fish tank after the ink dragon eye jumped out, after all, it was just a fish, so it could only stumble on the ground and die.
"Can it really understand us?" said Dusty looked at the fish in surprise.
After wiping the water on his face, Su Xuan looked at the dying fish, then picked it up and threw it into the fish tank: "This thing may be psychic, not something we can breed, no matter what, put it back in the East China Sea." ”
"You're okay, you're fine, this is a goldfish, you will die if you put it in the sea!" Looking at Su Xuan, whose painting style had changed sharply, Fuchen couldn't help but complain.
Su Xuan nodded and said, "Although the East China Sea is a sea, although this ink dragon eye is a goldfish. But I'm sure that the East China Sea is its home. ”
The goldfish finally breathed a sigh of relief when it was put back into the water, and then when he heard Su Xuan say this, he couldn't help but swim. It just looked at Su Xuan blankly.
"It looks like it's coming from the East China Sea. Su Xuan said.
"You mean it's a salted fish?" asked Fuchen.
"And the turtle. Su Xuan said, "I'm sure it must be a mysterious beast, maybe it has suffered something to become like this." Put it back into the sea, is the best choice. ”
"Whatever you want, just a fish. Whisk said.
Indeed, a fish does not have to be entangled so much in the eyes of the dust. But in Su Xuan's eyes, things are not so simple. If nothing else, he could really feel the mysterious power faintly emanating from the fish. Though it is very weak, though if there is nothing.
He also wanted to keep this fish, maybe he could find some clues, but he was now desperate to return to the Martial Arts Academy. After such a long time, it will soon be time to start the Tianxuan test. During this time, he has to increase the pressure on the students, otherwise the Vientiane fan will be handed over to others at that time.
All in all, enough was going on, and he didn't want to make a fuss.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Su Xuan left the inn from the window, and relied on the strength of his occult warlock to fly all the way to the outside of Jiangnan City. His strength is the seventh layer of the human rank, and ordinary guards can't find him, and a stronger guard can bypass him if he deals with it carefully.
After a short time, he came to a river. He was the only one who was too lazy to toss in the middle of the night, so he stayed at the inn.
He took the fish tank that had been sprinkled with water for most of it and walked to the river. The water is very clear, and the fish swimming in the water are clearly visible.
"This is a turbulent body, and it has its own life. We can't raise idle things, we will be destined to be a person in the future, and he will enjoy the moon by the pool every day. After saying this softly to the fish tank, Su Xuan lowered his body. The small fish were put into the creek.
Although the river water is crystal clear, the old Zhao has a clear law that does not allow fishing in the river, and no one really wants to fight against the old Zhao law because of a fish, and the small fish are safe in this river. The river leads to the sea, and if Su Xuan guessed correctly, the fish would swim into the sea. In case Su Xuan guessed wrong, the little fish would be able to spend his life at a lake on the way.
All in all, the fish is well placed.
Just as he was about to dispose of the fish tank, when the class teacher returned to the court, something stopped him - it was the fish tank!
"It's ...... Seal the Demon Altar?" Whisk Dust circled back and forth around the "fish tank" two or three times, and said uncertainly.
This fish tank can no longer be called a fish tank, and its body is painted with a variety of patterns, which is simple and elegant.
"What is the Demon Sealing Altar?" Su Xuan said.
"Taiyi sealed the Demon Altar. Whisk said
"Oh, how did this kind of thing appear here?" Su Xuan asked, "No, it's not the key, the key is...... It turned out that it wasn't the fish that was auctioned, but this 'Taiyi Sealing Demon Altar'? Why was it a transparent fish tank before......
Fuchen stared at the altar tightly and said, "I admit that I was wrong, that fish is really not a mortal thing, when Taiyi seals the demon altar to suppress the living beings, the patterns on it will gradually disappear." If that creature is strong, the pattern on the Taiyi Sealing Demon Altar will be even shallower. The fish was able to exhaust all the patterns of this jar, and it was not like a mortal thing. ”
"Since you're gone, let's see you again. Su Xuan said indifferently, not taking the fish to heart.
※※※
Mo Longyan swam along the river, sleepless, I don't know how many hours passed, and finally found a place to rest.
The river runs through a grove of trees, and it seems that the surroundings are quiet and safe, with no wild animals or birds to catch fish.
Then, under the light of the moon, the ink dragon's eyes also turned into a light, and the light dissipated, and a girl in black clothes and white hair stood in the middle of the river.
The wet silver-white hair, the exposed shoulders that gradually lost water, the slender waist and long legs and hips, and the slightly bulging peaks on the chest stuck to the wet clothes, all hinted that the girl must be beautiful.
It's a pity that the girl has her back to the moonlight, and her face can't be seen in the moonlight.
"That idiot......" the girl said softly, "I don't know how I broke Daoxuan's seal by mistake, Daoxuan wanted to humiliate me, I didn't expect that there would be such a person......"
"But he's an idiot...... Ten fish, one a day, obviously only a week and two days......"
The girl said and walked out of the river, "It's finally out of the suppression range of the Taiyi Sealing Demon Altar." But the strength is still lacking, and after all, you still can't settle accounts with that old bastard of Daoxuan...... How can this be......"
Seeing that her body was wet and inconvenient to walk, she couldn't help frowning.
"It's annoying. She said, "Is it a backlash again?"
Immediately afterward, the look of boredom turned to shock.
"What is this...... This is not a backlash...... Is this a rejuvenation technique? No...... I'm still young......"
Occult art would not wait for her, and in an instant, her figure shrank dramatically.
In the moonlight, a young girl with long hair about twice her height, was covered in clothes that did not match her figure at all, her left shoulder was completely exposed, and her arms were tucked into the sleeves, but they could only fill half of the sleeves.
And the clothes are still wet, clinging tightly to the body.
"Hateful!" she shouted, and the voice that came out of her throat was less angry and more like coquettishness. She raised her hand again and used a metaphysical technique, and the clothes on her body became fitting.
