Chapter 24: "Red Jade Gong"
Wang Meng is twenty-eight this year, in the prime of life, and his armed forces have reached the peak of the third rate, becoming the head catcher of a county.
If he can get "Red Jade Gong", then his strength can go to the next level and reach the second-rate level.
Maybe he can still move, and it is possible to be transferred to a larger county seat, or even a county town to catch heads.
If he chooses to stay in Changfeng County all the time, then the long-vacant position of the chief catcher in Changfeng County will definitely be in his pocket.
Although he is now the head catcher of Changfeng County, there is not only one head catcher in Changfeng County, but three!
But it's a pity that he has no money and can't afford to buy this second-rate top talisman "Red Jade Gong".
"If I buy the Red Jade Gong, am I qualified to pass it on to others?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Of course qualified, it is Zhang Yi's promise to sell for a hundred years, but he can't restrain buyers."
"But whoever buys it for a thousand taels of silver will not be able to spread it widely."
Wang Meng spoke, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but he hid it well.
"Okay, I bought this copy of "Chiyu Gong", please ask Brother Wang to help me pass on a message, I want to meet with the old hall advocate Yi of the Chiyang Martial Arts Pavilion in person!"
Jiang Chen said magnificently.
He has thirty gold bricks in his hand, one gold brick is 500 grams, ten taels of gold, which can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the stone gold brick is one thousand taels of silver.
Because the purity of the gold bricks in his hand is very high, the highest price of the pawnshop can be 150 taels of silver, so he can buy "Red Jade Gong", but it only takes less than seven gold bricks.
A gold brick is worth about 200,000 yuan in the real world, and seven pieces are 1.4 million yuan, which is really not expensive for Jiang Chen's worth.
However, the reason why Jiang Chen set his sights on the old hall of the Chiyang Martial Arts Pavilion is not only because he has the second-rate top martial arts "Red Jade Gong" in his hands, but also because he is eccentric.
It should be said that Zhang Yi, who has a second-rate martial arts, should not be dying of old age in his fifties, his spirit is scattered, and his life will not be long!
Jiang Chen offered to meet him to further investigate his eccentricity.
He has never forgotten the mystery of the main quest Changfeng City God, but he has been in the City God Temple several times, and he has used the Tongyou Talisman to check it for a long time, not to mention the City God, and he has not even seen the ghosts under the City God.
Wang Meng seemed to know something, but he refused to say it.
So Jiang Chen could only slowly find a breakthrough by himself.
Everything that goes against common sense is regarded by him as a breakthrough!
…………
Chiyang Martial Arts Hall.
An old man who was about to die was lying on the Taishi chair, covered with a thin quilt, the old man's breathing was weak, and his eyes were full of turbidity.
This person is the old hall advocate Yi of the Chiyang Martial Arts Pavilion.
To say that this person was also a legendary figure when he was young, he was born in a tenant farming family in Changfeng County, and when he was a child, he stole the master's martial arts, and escaped after the incident.
Later, he was included in the door wall by martial arts masters, and before the age of thirty, he broke through the prestige in Nanjun, and finally when he was more than forty years old, he returned to his hometown and opened this Chiyang martial arts hall in Changfeng County.
More than ten years have passed.
Martial arts is not an immortal way, and the effect on life extension is not too great, even if it is a martial arts master, it is only three or five hundred years of life.
However, the old owner of the Chiyang Martial Arts Pavilion is a second-rate master, although his qi and blood have long since withered and he is no longer at his peak, but at least he is comparable to a third-rate master.
Moreover, what he cultivates is not the external strength that is particularly damaging to the body, but pays more attention to the internal strength of the body.
Not to mention that such a character lives a long life, it is not a problem to live at least seventy or eighty years old.
But Zhang Yi's health has never been very good, especially after coming to Changfeng County, his health has deteriorated.
Now he is only fifty years old and nods, but he looks like a bad old man in his seventies and eighties.
Zhang Yiping retreated from the people around him, looked at Jiang Chen, who came to buy the exercises, and said calmly:
"Pure Yang Dao is long, and he has admired his name for a long time."
"It's that you want to buy the "Red Jade Gong" in the hands of the old man?"
"Yes."
Jiang Chen nodded and said when he heard this.
"One thousand taels of silver, our Zhang family guarantees that it will not be sold for the second time within a hundred years, as for who you want to pass it on, it's up to you."
"My sons and daughters' martial arts qualifications are very average, and this second-rate top martial arts cheat "Red Jade Gong" is a pearl in their hands, so it is better to exchange them for a fortune."
Zhang Yi said groggily.
"Old Man Zhang, I am a cultivator below, and I know a little about Huangqi's technique, can I let you take a look at your situation?"
Jiang Chen did not directly talk about buying and selling exercises, but proposed to diagnose Zhang Yi.
"Dao Chief, please!"
Jiang Chen looked forward to the qi technique and saw that Zhang Yi's body exuded a strong death qi, which was a sign that he was dying and his life was not long.
But there was also a black-red aura around his head, which proved that he did not die of natural old age, but for another reason.
Then he took a few more shattering evil talismans and pasted them on Zhang Yi's body, and the shattering evil talismans burned instantly, and the evil aura on the top of Zhang Yi's head slowly faded.
But there is no way for Jiang Chen, the dead qi on his body, the five decays of heaven and man, and the reincarnation of fate, with his current strength, he can't change it at all.
After Jiang Chen used the Evil Destroying Talisman to break away the evil qi on Zhang Yi's body, Zhang Yi suddenly felt that his body warmed up, and his spirit was also sufficient.
He held on to the armrest of the Taishi chair, sat upright, and stiffened his spine:
"I haven't been so comfortable for a long time, the Taoist is a capable person, "Red Jade Gong" will not be secretly invested in your hands, and I am worthy of my dead master."
"With all due respect, Old Man Zhang, you are surrounded by evil qi, and it doesn't look like it was formed naturally."
"And you are a second-rate master, even if you fight with others when you are young and leave a secret wound, you will not completely explode in your fifties, unless it is artificial, and someone wants to harm you."
Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Yi and said.
"The Taoist thinks too much, no one wants to harm me, and no one can harm me, my own body knows it."
"Isn't the Taoist going to buy "Red Jade Gong"?"
"I don't know if the chief has enough silver, if it's okay, let's sign a contract."
"The old man is old and in bad spirits, please forgive me for not being well entertained."
Zhang Yi began to give an eviction order.
"I brought the silver ticket, a full thousand taels, if the old man thinks it's okay, then let's sign the contract."
Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this, and took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets that had been prepared long ago from his arms.
Both parties draw up the contract, sign it, and put their fingerprints on it.
Jiang Chen handed the 1,000 taels of silver ticket to Zhang Yi, and the old man took out a sheepskin booklet from his arms, on which were written the three big characters of "Red Jade Gong".
"My master said that this "Red Jade Gong" can be called a first-class martial art, but my master and I have limited qualifications and have not successfully cultivated it, so outsiders are saying that this "Red Jade Gong" is a second-rate martial art."
"I hope that the Taoist can learn and succeed in the name of Zhenggongfa."
"By the way, there are still some cultivation experiences of me and my master in this booklet, and I will give them to the Taoist Master at the same time."
Zhang Yi handed the parchment booklet to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced down at Zhang Yi's hand, was slightly stunned, and then took the booklet quietly.
"Now that the deal has been reached, then I won't disturb the old man's rest."
"Farewell!"
Jiang Chen turned around and left with the cheats of "Red Jade Gong" and returned to the Pure Yang Taoist Temple.
