Chapter 1 The Pawnshop Lang Jun and the Prince of the Old Dynasty
The new dynasty of Great Xia was in full swing for three years.
Eight hundred and sixty-four years of the immortal calendar.
Jinzhou City
It has been three years since the Great Yan of the previous dynasty fell to the country, and everything seems to have been covered up by time.
The first rays of the midday sun hit the city, bringing a lot of smoke and fire to the whole city.
The teahouses, inns, and taverns on the streets are all overcrowded, and the laughter of diners makes the area extremely noisy.
On the official road, the vendors shouted and came and went, and the ice gourds stood at the corner of the street, and the pedestrians on the road were endless, and children frolicked and ran by.
It's a great time.
There is a well-repaired pawnshop tile building on the east side of the market, and the door plaque is engraved with "Huai character small pawnshop".
"Shopkeeper Zhao, take a look, how much is this stone worth?"
A large man with a sweat towel tied to his forehead threw an ordinary pebble and threw it in front of a young man.
It's just that this young man is good and handsome.
Dressed in an ink-colored gown, neat and clean, with a string of golden copper coins around his waist.
The facial features are white, the edges and corners are clear, the bridge of the nose is firm, handsome as jade, and there is a pair of eyes under the eyebrows like a knife, which carries a heroic spirit, and there is a shallow smile at the corner of the mouth.
It seems to be friendly and approachable.
His name is Zhao Huai, and he is the shopkeeper of this small pawnshop.
Zhao Huai picked up the stone and looked at the crystal pebbles in front of him for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a golden copper coin suddenly appeared in his hand and was inadvertently tossed.
This seemingly casual action did not attract the attention of the big man.
"Two hundred wen, what do you think?"
After watching it for a long time and throwing the copper coins for a long time, Zhao Huai finally spoke.
"Two hundred wen?"
"No more."
"Two hundred is two hundred... Alas, count me unlucky. ”
The big man complained in his mouth, but the smile under the corner of his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Wait until I find the money."
Zhao Huai muttered quietly, and then rummaged through the cabinet underneath.
Now that Dahan has won the price, he is not in a hurry.
With his hands propped up on the counter, a pair of small eyes began to peek around.
But after looking at it for a long time, I couldn't help but be disappointed.
He found that the store was really poor, and there was not even a valuable calligraphy and painting.
So he said casually:
"I said shopkeeper, you are a pawnshopkeeper, why don't you even have a treasure in the house? If you're like this, I'm afraid that others won't dare to press things down on you. ”
Zhao Huai took out a bunch of coins from the cabinet, all of which were square-hole copper coins.
Counted them one by one, counted them all, a full two hundred.
"No way, business is sluggish."
Zhao Huai raised his head and replied helplessly.
"Also, your pawnshop Xiaolangjun's name is not covered, and it is a miracle that this shop can be opened for three years."
The big man chuckled, as if it was teasing, more like sarcasm.
But when Zhao Huai heard this, he didn't have the slightest anger on his face, and said indifferently:
"Pawnshop is life, it is best to make money, you can't and don't have to force it."
Hearing this, Dahan smiled and said, "The shopkeeper's mentality is very relaxed. ”
"People who have come here are all downcast."
"Here, you're going to get the money."
Zhao Huai smiled and handed the money out.
Dahan took the money, felt heavy in his hand, and at the same time his heart was steady, his mood suddenly became happy, and he couldn't help but say more.
"I said shopkeeper, you came to Jinzhou three years ago, right?"
When Zhao Huai heard this, he immediately became vigilant in his heart, still with a smile on his face, and asked rhetorically:
"Why do you say that?"
Dahan glanced around, and whispered: "If yes, you have to be careful, recently, somehow, the government has been checking the new household registration in the past three years, no, Wang Erha, who sells cakes next door, Jinzhou, who came three years ago, is still a black household, and he was arrested by the government for questioning yesterday, and now I don't know whether he is dead or alive."
"If not, I'll fart."
The big man grinned.
Zhao Huai shook his head and chuckled: "Don't worry, I've been in Jinzhou for seven or eight years, so you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Okay, I'll give the shopkeeper some business another day, and I'll leave first."
The big man clutched the money in his hand, didn't keep it longer, and said goodbye immediately.
When he went out, he was still snickering.
"Haha!"
"A stone picked up in the mountains can be sold for 200 yuan, this master is not a fool, hehe, there is money for two days' meals."
Zhao Huai sat on the chair and watched the big man leave, the smile on his face couldn't help but retract and became very dignified.
He stood up, closed the door, and flipped over the "closed" sign.
Zhao Huai came to the dark warehouse behind the shop and lit the oil lamp.
The entire warehouse is full of precious antique cultural toys, and there are also many treasures such as jewelry spirit stones.
On the highest floor of the warehouse, there is a delicate wooden box inlaid with a white jade dragon seal.
Zhao Huai held the stone he had just gotten in his hand.
"Whoa!"
With a breath, the stone in his palm immediately shattered into powder.
The dust cleared, and a crystal as jade ring appeared in his hand.
"Who's the fool?"
At this time, Zhao Huai showed a deep smile at the corner of his mouth.
A pair of eyes as sharp as knives.
He is not actually from this world, but a time-traveler.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself in a splendid palace, surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
Only then did he realize that he had actually crossed over, and he had actually become a prince who was on the run.
The last prince of the Great Yan Dynasty.
The Great Yan Dynasty was originally a great unified dynasty, and his predecessor was a hedonism that had nothing to do all day long.
The son can be taught like this, and the father is not a good bird.
All prosperous dynasties could not escape the fate of decline, the Great Yan Dynasty was overthrown by the rebel army, and the emperor hanged himself from a tree behind the palace.
On that day, the former body escaped from the palace, and couldn't stand the humiliation of fleeing, so he wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake.
The man is dead, but he comes.
The new dynasty that replaced it was today's Great Xia.
Zhao Huai continued to go into exile all the way to the south, passing through a large number of prefectures and counties, and finally settled in Jinzhou, a city near Haiyan in the south.
Zhao Huai looked at the golden copper coin in his hand and couldn't help but be distracted.
He traveled all the way south, evaded search, experienced war, plague and famine, and all the people around him died tragically on the road, but why was he the only one who survived?
It was this golden copper coin that he relied on.
As long as you throw the copper coin, you can know the good and bad things in your mind, and predict the blessings and misfortunes of future events in advance.
It was with this small copper coin that Zhao Huai survived, and sold the gold and silver accessories brought out of the palace, and also opened a small pawnshop, living in seclusion among the people.
This stay is three years.
In the past three years, Zhao Huai has no desire for revenge, the original owner's revenge for killing his father, to be honest, he doesn't feel anything.
He just wants to live, that's all.
This is a world where immortals are respected, and human races and demons coexist.
The secular world is ruled by the major dynasties, and the monks are controlled by five ancient and powerful immortal cultivation sects with a long lineage.
These powerful sects are also known as immortal sects.
Xianmen generally do not meddle in worldly affairs.
Therefore, Zhao Huai's intentions are also very clear, cultivating immortals is what he should do, and becoming an immortal is his goal.
Only by becoming an immortal can you be alone.
As for the revenge of killing his father, he will revenge it in the next life.
Zhao Huai clenched the Xuan Ring, muttered, looked expectant, and then immediately threw away the golden copper coin in his hand.
He didn't know what was inside the ring.
Is it a demon who has taken away?
Or a benevolent old grandfather?
Who knows, so if you don't make a decision, let's throw a copper coin first.
In an instant, a line of words appeared in front of Zhao Huai's eyes.
[Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, let's look at it]
[The two of them are self-seeking, and there are thousands of hexagrams, all of which come from the heart]
[Hexagram 1: Chance, the blessed dwell, the mysterious ring, the origin is unknown, collect the ring, and the instructions you get are "blessings". 】
Seeing the word "Fu" between the lines, Zhao Huai immediately showed a bright smile.
Since it is a blessing, it means that there is nothing bad for you.
Without saying a word, Zhao Huai bit his fingertips and confessed the Xuanjie with blood.
A strange feeling welled up in his heart, and he could already see what was inside the Xuan Ring.
Before Zhao Huai could take a look, an orange light flew out and entered his mind.
...
