Chapter 17 Greed is not enough to swallow an elephant

"That fox has been interfered with, and this kid is out of line."

"It seems that his good fortune has come to an end, and he pointed to the waste rock with a finger in his hand."

"Alas, greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, this young man has won hundreds of letters by luck, and if he doesn't stop, he will lose all his blood now."

"Maybe it's a good thing to lose, if he wins, Heshan Dao can let him leave safely?"

Tang Yuan turned to look at Fluttershy and asked, "What do you mean by waste stone?" ”

Fluttershy's face was a little embarrassed, and she whispered, "Honorable guest, this stone mine is a little small, and some masters assert that there is very little Chiyang Gold in it. It's been a long time since no one cared about this stone mine, and the cabinet has decided to withdraw him from Hall 1, so the price has been reduced, and there is still a few points to sell it, but before it has been moved, you will ......"

Tang Yuan said with a chagrined face: "Then I'm not going to lose!" ”

Zhu He walked over, glanced at Tang Yuan, and pretended to be surprised: "Eh, isn't this the famous waste stone?" Don't... Did you choose this one? ”

Tang Yuan said: "Whether it's a waste stone or not, it's not necessarily, be careful and slap yourself in the face for a while!" ”

"Hmph, I'm still hard-mouthed." Zhu He was in a good mood, and the treasure worth two thousand letters was soon in his pocket.

Gong Shou also walked over at this time, saw the waste stone selected by Tang Yuan, and sighed.

His impression of this little friend is still quite good, but it's a pity......

Gong Shou said loudly, "Since the two of you have been selected, I don't know who wants to cut it first?" ”

Tang Yuan pointed at the other party and said, "Let's let the master come first, the older the person, the more timid he is, so as not to look at my stone and dare not use the knife." ”

"Hmph, sharp teeth." The old man surnamed Zhong snorted coldly, "Then open ours first, let this kid despair directly." ”

"This stone is a thousand letters! The bottom is guaranteed to cut out a hundred catties of Sanyang gold to protect the capital! ”

"Heshan Taoism has a great cause, so I dare to bet on this kind of stone, if you and I go to gamble, in case of loss or even no shipment, then it is a lifetime savings to go in!"

"Alas, I can't gamble myself, even if I watch others cut this big goods, it's also physically and mentally comfortable!"

The palace guard still took out his short knife magic weapon, but this time the action was even wider, and the stone body was dissected in just a few clicks.

"Out! Out! One knife is out! ”

The stone skin hadn't fallen too much before it was already golden.

Gong Shou nodded, this piece of material is a big material placed here in the pavilion in order to sell other stone mines, and there is definitely a lot of Chiyang gold in it!

Sure enough, as the shadow of the knife flickered, more and more gold was exposed.

"Big cargo, this is a rare big cargo! A thousand letters seem to be about to make a lot of money! ”

Everyone looked at Zhu He's eyes full of envy and jealousy!

Zhu He's heart also pinched, if he cut it well, he might be able to enter thousands of letters this time! Even if his father is the head of Heshan Dao, Zhu He's entire net worth is nothing more than that!

Knife after knife, every piece of stone skin fell, and the golden light bloomed, all of which made him applaud loudly!

The atmosphere in the whole hall was feverish!

……

The palace guard wiped his sweat, and the stone had all been unraveled, one, two, three...... There are thirty-seven pieces of Sanyang gold that shines with a crimson luster.

Some of them are the size of a human head!

Zhu He's breathing was so rapid that he could hear it clearly, but no one cared, and everyone stared at the shining golden light on the table.

The palace guard also sighed: "This can be ranked in the top three among the stones that the old man has solved!" ”

Immediately, the deacon of Yunmeng Pavilion came to weigh him.

But the veteran who already had superb arithmetic skills trembled and said, "I'm afraid it's not five thousand catties!" ”

Soon, the deacon had already given the result.

"Four thousand eight hundred and thirty pounds!"

The hall was silent, and everyone was deeply shocked by this number, which was nearly 5,000 letters, which was really a jaw-dropping huge sum!

Zhu He took three deep breaths before he could barely make his voice seem calm, he turned his head to look at Tang Yuan, "It's time to cut you!" ”

Everyone also looked at him when they heard this, their eyes were full of sympathy, this kind of bet that ended before it even began, it was really desperate.

The little fox also lay on Tang Yuan's shoulder, and blamed himself: "It's all up to me, I didn't play a role!" ”

Tang Yuan said softly: "The outcome has not yet been decided, senior, please cut my stone." ”

But everyone could tell from that voice that he was not as determined as he had been.

The palace guard had finished resting at this time, he glanced at Tang Yuan and comforted: "The stone has not yet opened, everything is possible." ”

But he didn't have much hope for this waste stone in his heart, in fact, if he saw in advance that the stone could solve five thousand catties of Sanyang gold, Yunmeng Pavilion would solve it first.

A waste rock still wants to surpass this piece of material, difficult, difficult, difficult!

He took the knife again, the silver knife was like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, but this time he cut it more seriously, so he should do his part for the little friend who was in front of him.

But even a dozen knives came down, but there was no gold.

"Sure enough, it's a waste rock!"

"There's no suspense at all!"

"I was thinking about betting on this stone, but luckily I didn't make a move!" A man with a happy face patted his chest and said in fear.

The little fox lay on Tang Yuan's shoulder and said timidly: "Tang Yuan, you, are you okay?" ”

Tang Yuan sighed and said, "It's okay, the stone hasn't been cut yet." ”

"At this time, you still fantasize about turning the tables? Should you be naΓ―ve, or should you be hard-mouthed? Zhu He sneered at the right time.

Tang Yuan ignored him, just watched every swing of the sword by the palace guard.

The stone had been dismantled to the size of a baby, and there was still no trace of Chiyang Gold.

"I didn't expect it to be a complete waste rock!"

"In this way, if you don't get anything for Zhu Shou, isn't it the best way for this kid to make money!" Someone joked in a different way.

caused everyone in the hall to laugh, and Zhu He's expression became more and more proud!

With a horizontal cut, the stone flakes fell, and finally a touch of golden light appeared!

"What's the use of cutting it out now? Even if the rest is Sanyang Gold, what can I do, I want to thank you and give me another big gift! ”

Zhu He was still proud, but he didn't notice that the palace guard's expression had become serious, and Zhong Lao's expression had become very ugly.

Zhu He still wanted to say more, but found that the entire hall had become unusually quiet.

All he could hear was the sound of knives and his own heart beating.

He was a little puzzled, what happened to those people who were still laughing happily just now, and he looked at the people in the hall.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the stone on the stage.

"Isn't that just a waste rock, why do they care so much?" Zhu He was puzzled, and looked there with a hint of panic.

A touch of red filled his eyes, and the color that was far more dazzling than Sanyang Gold made Zhu He's heart almost stop beating.

He almost groaned, "Six... Six Yang Gold! ”
