Qingzhou, located in the northwest of the Great Xia Dynasty, because of the special terrain, so even in summer, the temperature here is still not too high, and the wind is still cool, which is very comfortable

Qingzhou City, the most prosperous place in Qingzhou, is backed by Yuping Mountain, separating it from Xizhou, forming two completely different worlds.

Qin Lan and the others entered Qingzhou City with the bustling crowd of people.

It is worth mentioning that in order to hide people's eyes, Qin Lan also deliberately found a black robe.

Qin Lan looked around, blue bricks and red tiles, layer upon layer, everywhere revealing a simple atmosphere, and couldn't help but sigh that the architectural style of this place is very different from that of the Central Plains.

"As far as I know, Qingzhou City holds a special auction every month, and a large part of the auction items in these auctions come from Tianqing Street. ”

Meng Zilang introduced next to Qin Lan, he and Ye Xiaoxiao were the same as Qin Lan, wearing a black robe.

Qin Lan asked in surprise, "What is this "Tianqing Street"? ”

Meng Zilang said respectfully:

"Back to the young master, this "Tianqing Street" was originally a way to sell some things that the monks themselves could not use, or to exchange things that were beneficial to both parties to the sale, and was later acquired by the largest family in Qingzhou City, the "Red Family", so now in addition to selling some second-hand products on Tianqing Street, there will also be a number of interesting things from time to time. ”

Qin Lan groaned:

"Then we can go to Tianqing Street to have a look first, after all, the "leather mask" will inevitably attract attention if you buy it at an auction in front of everyone......

"Then let's hurry up!"

Ye Xiaoxiao, who was usually quiet and calm, was very interested in Tianqing Street, and said crisply.

Qin Lan smiled indulgently and let Meng Zilang lead the way in front, and soon the three of them arrived at the so-called Tianqing Street.

What caught the eyes of the three people, first of all, were large and small stalls, which seemed to be lined up in two rows on both sides of the road, and all kinds of shouting came and went, one after another, a thriving and lively.

Meng Zilang consciously walked in front, and the two people behind also consciously distanced themselves from Meng Zilang, Ye Xiaoxiao leaned into Qin Lan's ear and whispered:

"Can this man be trusted?"

From last night to now, along the way, Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to ask Qin Lan several times, but he couldn't help it, but now he finally had the opportunity, so he just asked clearly.

I don't know why, although this Meng Zilang looks okay, Ye Xiaoxiao always feels that there is a trace of evil in his eyes, which makes her feel a little disgusted every time she sees this person.

"You're quite sensitive."

Qin Lan smiled in surprise, then shook his head and said nothing, Ye Xiaoxiao understood what Qin Lan meant, and raised his vigilance against Meng Zilang in his heart.

It seems that this man is really not a good person!

Walking in front of a shop at random, Ye Xiaoxiao picked up a wooden hairpin and played with it, looked left and right, and finally shook his head gently under the store's hopeful gaze and walked away.

Qin Lan also followed Ye Xiaoxiao all the way, picking and picking, and really saw a lot of interesting things.

All the way to the middle of Tianqing Street, Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, walked quickly to the front of a shop, and carefully picked up a jade-colored hairpin.

A middle-aged man with a rich body stood up and said with a smile:

"Girl, you really have a vision, this blue and white hosta is carved from a high-quality blue and white jade by a Xuan-level refiner, it is said that when the instrument is completed, the refiner will also engrave a spiritual pattern in it, and long-term wearing can also make people more sensitive to the perception of the aura between heaven and earth."

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of shiny little stars at this time, playing with the hosta, quite a bit of love.

The quality of the hosta is also extraordinary, the whole body is crystal clear, with small azure flowers printed in it, shining in the sunlight.

In fact, it doesn't matter to her who carved this hosta and what effect it has, the main thing is that this hosta really grows on her aesthetic point.

"Shop, how do you sell this?"

The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out three fingers

"Three hundred gold coins?"

Ye Xiaoxiao asked tentatively

The middle-aged man shook his head, a smile on his face

Ye Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, to be honest, she thought that three hundred gold coins was expensive enough, she pondered for a moment, and asked suspiciously:

"Three thousand gold coins?"

This is already all the belongings that Ye Xiaoxiao has now, and when he was on the road with Qin Lan along the way, he also saved a lot of people and received some medical fees.

The middle-aged man was patient and said slowly: "Thirty thousand gold coins." ”

30,000 gold coins!?

Ye Xiaoxiao and Qin Lan were both shocked, you must know that 30,000 gold coins could already buy three yellow-rank elixirs.

Ye Xiaoxiao was a little painful, and reluctantly put down the hosta, ready to leave, but at this time, Qin Lan grabbed her.

"Shop, let's get cheaper!"

Qin Lan played with this hosta and said casually

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, shook his head and said:

"This guest officer, what I do in this small shop is a small business, a fixed price, and I don't bargain for the price."

Qin Lan let out an "oh" in his mouth, and then turned his gaze to a piece of black iron placed in the middle of the shop, and said softly:

"Lingxi cold iron is indeed very rare, and using it to cast a vessel will improve the spirituality of the finished weapon a little, and it can be regarded as a rare material."

A hint of surprise appeared between the middle-aged man's eyebrows, he didn't expect this young man's eyes to be so good, and he could recognize the origin of the most precious thing in his shop at a glance.

Just listen to Qin Lan continue:

"However, there is another material that looks very similar to the Lingxi Cold Iron, but it is not very useful, because it is often found in the places where the Lingxi Cold Iron appears, so it is also called the Mortal Star Cold Iron."

Qin Lan picked up the black iron block and played with it, smiling playfully

"Shopkeeper, which one do you think you bought is the one you said I was talking about?"

Seeing that Qin Lan suddenly picked up the piece of iron, the middle-aged man didn't have time to stop him, the expression on his face changed slightly, and he said with a dry smile:

"This guest officer, I don't know what you're talking about......"

Qin Lan said flatly:

"It's actually very simple to distinguish between these two things, if it's a real Lingxi cold iron, you only need to tap it lightly, and it will make a crisp sound like a mountain spring dripping on the bluestone, if not, it's fake."

"Don't ......"

The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise and reached out to take back the black iron in Qin Lan's hand, but it was too late.

Because, Qin Lan's fingers had already lightly tapped on the black iron block.

However, nothing was heard.

This also proves that this black iron is not actually a spiritual rhino cold iron, but an ordinary mortal star cold iron.

You know, the value between the two can be said to be very different.

And this shopkeeper clearly knows the true origin of this black iron block, but it still sells a price several times higher than that of Lingxi Cold Iron, which is not difficult to see that the hosta that Ye Xiaoxiao has taken a fancy to has actually been raised by the store I don't know how many times.

Qin Lan didn't feel sorry for him, and threw the black iron back casually.

"Now can we talk about the price of that hosta?"

The expression on the middle-aged man's face changed for a while, and finally he sighed heavily

"You name a price!"

He couldn't have imagined that Qin Lan looked young, but his eyes were so vicious, and the few words he said pierced the little calculation in his heart.

"I think, this hosta is worth three thousand gold coins, I think I should be enough to give you face."

Listening to Qin Lan's offer, the fat on the middle-aged man's face trembled, gritted his teeth and said:

"Good!"

Qin Lan nodded with satisfaction, and after handing over the money, he handed the hosta to Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Qin Lan, I don't think it's good, I always ask you to spend money on me or something......"

Ye Xiaoxiao's expression twitched for a while, then he took a deep breath and said seriously:

"So I'll pay you back this money later!"

Qin Lan felt a little headache, and said warmly:

"Xiaoxiao, I'll give you this thing, our relationship has been confirmed for so long, and I haven't given you anything decent, this little hosta, don't see me."

Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally smiled and inserted the hosta into the bun

"Okay, I'll cherish it."

The sun was pouring down, and the green silk that Ye Xiaoxiao was scattered was coiled high at this time, adding a bit of mature and solemn charm to her, and there was no conflict with the greenness on her body, but it formed a contrast and cuteness, and Qin Lan was a little stunned for a while.

This scene was also seen in Meng Zilang's eyes, and he only felt a burst of tooth soreness at this time.

How do you look at this, he, the young master, is still a lover?

At this time, an inconspicuous small stall on the corner of the street attracted Meng Zilang's attention.

I saw that on the small stall, a rickety old man was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, and a broken fan in his hand was fanning back and forth, letting people know that he was not actually asleep.

Pedestrians passed by here, but none of them stopped, and the old man seemed to be familiar with this and did not care.

In front of the stall, there was a small wooden sign with a line of small words engraved on it:

Bartering for money, great value for money.

Meng Zilang's eyes fell on a small wooden box on the stall, and lying inside was a thin leather mask like a cicada's wings!

It's just that it's crumpled at this time, and if it weren't opened and flattened, I'm afraid few people would recognize it.

That is, people like Meng Zilang, who often played with women when he was young, often lingered among the flowers, and in order to reduce some trouble for himself, he knew so much about this leather mask.

The REN leather mask, which sounds scary, is actually not made of REN skin, and the general quality REN leather mask is made of some spiritual silk, and wearing it on the human face can only slightly change one or two of the person's facial features.

People of a higher calibre. The leather mask is made from a type of silk called the Phantom Silkworm, which can change the user's appearance at will, as long as it is worn on the face, making it difficult for even the closest people to recognize it.

And this kind of leather mask making process is very complicated, and there are very few people who have mastered it, so it is now considered a rare thing, if one is auctioned by many people, it can be sold for at least 100,000 gold coins.

You must know that the Li family only gave Qin Lan 100,000 silver tickets at that time, which was converted into 10,000 gold coins.

And on the old man's stall, the wooden box contained the leather mask woven by the phantom silk, and the production level was quite high!
