Chapter 129: The Secret of Turquoise
The foursome did not act rashly, but chose a day to visit several shops opened by the Thousand Machine Pavilion in the city.
The business of the Qianji Pavilion shop is very good, according to Zeng Lao, the turquoise of Songcheng is already one of the specialties of the Qianji Pavilion, and it firmly controls the entry of Songcheng. Monks who come from afar can not buy other local specialties, but they will not fail to buy all kinds of turquoise products.
Relying on this business, Qianji Pavilion has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and the signs of power development have surpassed that of the Sun Moon Sect and the Xuanyi Sect, and there is a faint momentum to keep pace with the Tianyan Sect.
Huo Rendong and Song Yu entered the store together, pretending to be a pair of sisters.
"What do the two fairies want to see?" They were recruited by a young shopkeeper, with a warm attitude but not flattery, and his eyes were quite vicious, although he saw that they had ordinary appearances, but his temperament was by no means like a shy loose cultivation in his pocket.
Xiao Er said diligently: "We have all kinds of jewelry-like magic weapons in our store, all of them are the best craftsmanship, and the style is also the latest model this year. ”
After a few words, Huo Rongdong smiled and asked, "I heard that you are rich in turquoise here, which is very different from other places?" ”
Song Yu beside her spoke at the right time and sang with a white face: "Isn't it turquoise, what's so strange, I still have two such Yingluo." ”
The shopkeeper regarded them as foreign monks, and said calmly: "Fairy doesn't know, the turquoise of our Songcheng is a local specialty, different from those produced in other places, the color is more bright and bright, and it also has special effects, it can absorb turbidity qi and help cultivation." ”
In order to ascend to immortality in the daytime, contemporary monks have searched for ways to do so. People have seven emotions and six desires, and naturally they will have all kinds of greedy delusions. Some people burn incense, play the piano, blow the flute, and recite scriptures, in fact, all to suppress the evil thoughts of the demons in their hearts and stabilize their hearts.
There are some magic weapons on the market, although the grade is not high, but once it comes to purifying the heart and desires, removing turbidity and leaving clear, the price will definitely be beautiful.
Therefore, if the turquoise produced in Songcheng does have the effect of absorbing turbidity and stabilizing the Dao heart after wearing, then it is really not surprising that such sales are sold.
The shopkeeper handed over a string of turquoise bracelets: "Fairies may as well try it." ”
Huo Rendong took it and looked at it, as Xiao Er said, this turquoise bracelet is much more colorful and green than jade produced in other places. She thought about it, took out a demon bird corpse from the storage bag that had not had time to deal with it, and sure enough, she saw that the turbidity spreading on the demon bird's body was slowly absorbed by the bracelet, but because the bracelet was too small, the speed was particularly slow.
She glanced at Song Yu, and the latter immediately exclaimed: "It's really curious, for this effect, how expensive it is worth it!" ”
The shopkeeper also accompanied the smiling face: "The villain took out all the samples, the quality is average, in addition to the top grade and super product, the two fairies may wish to go upstairs and take a slow look, there are many beautiful styles in our store, all of which are designed by themselves, and cannot be bought elsewhere." ”
Huo Rongdong and the others were originally here to inquire about the news, so naturally they would not refuse, and happily followed him upstairs.
On the second floor of the shop is a separate private room, and a beautiful maid holds hot tea to invite them to drink, and the shopkeeper brings a plate of turquoise products of different styles to invite her to see: "Fairy, please see." ””
There are necklaces, abacus beads, Yingluo, top hairpins, step shakes, forbidden steps and other things, and there are complete types. Song Yu touched his hand, revealing a wealthy posture: "It's really good, I want all the goods here." ”
The shopkeeper was overjoyed: "The fairy is generous!" But so that the fairy knows that the goods in our store will not be returned or exchanged once they are sold. The high-grade jewelry is all 500 spirit stones, and the super jewelry is 1,000 spirit stones. ”
Song Yu glanced at him: "What is this money, are you still afraid that I won't be able to take it out?" ”
The shopkeeper bowed diligently: "Naturally not, the fairy is bold, and the villain worships." ”
"Two fairies, please wait a moment, I ask the shopkeeper to come and talk to you." Xiao Er couldn't hold back his excitement, and ran down to find the shopkeeper, this list was too big, and he couldn't be the master alone.
The shopkeeper soon came up, and the chubby middle-aged man smiled enthusiastically: "The goods that the two fairies want are a total of six thousand spirit stones, add a colorful head to you, and give you a turquoise brush." ”
He looked at Huo Rendong, who had never moved: "I don't know if this fairy has any catchy goods?" ”
Huo Rendong casually put down the bead string in his hand, revealing a regretful expression: "Beauty is beautiful, and the effect is good, but it is too small." You are all jewelry hairpins, don't you have bigger ornaments? For example, shelves, beds, tables and chairs, I want to make a set of furniture for the ancestors in the family. ”
It is not uncommon for monks to use expensive jade to make Taishi chairs. But when he heard this, the shopkeeper showed an embarrassed expression: "Fairy atonement, you don't know, our turquoise is different from others, because it is extremely brittle, it is difficult to mine." The slightly larger raw ore is worth thousands of gold, and it will be kept in the pavilion and will not flow out of the private sector for sale. ”
It means that the larger ones are digested by the inside of the Thousand Machine Pavilion.
Huo Rongdong was deliberately surprised: "There is not even a slightly larger one?" ”
"Yes." The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "The interest of folding the fairy is not a small shop, but if you want a small carving, our store has many super products." ”
"I just want to make a set of turquoise tables and chairs." Huo Yongdong deliberately made a filial appearance to his elders, "You will get tired of wearing jewelry, but furniture will not." If you can make it, I'm willing to order it at a high price. ”
The shopkeeper was not moved, but he still shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the fairy, the source of rough stones in the shops in Songcheng is controlled by the cabinet, let's not count, I really can't find a large piece of rough stone." ”
Huo Rendong: "That's a pity. The turquoise effect is good, but unfortunately the mass is too small, and the turbidity that can be absorbed is limited. As long as it is bigger, even if you don't make jewelry, the effect is more than that. ”
The shopkeeper laughed with him: "Fairy, it's not that we don't want to, it's that we really can't do it." Turquoise can absorb turbidity, such a good thing, it is fortunate that the pavilion can leak out for us to do business. ”
Huo Rongdong and Song Yu had already got the news they wanted, so they waved their hands: "Then forget it, wrap up everything you just wanted." ”
As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket, on which was a fixed number of spirit stones.
The shopkeeper smiled happily when he saw them so happy, and hurriedly handed over the prepared storage bag, which contained the jewelry he had just selected: "If you two have any other needs, just come to the small shop to find it, the turquoise we have here is the best." ”
Huo Rongdong waved his hand and left without looking back.
Back at the inn where they stayed, it happened that Qi Ci and Huang Wei also returned. The four of them went to different shops in the city, but came to a similar conclusion.
They studied the turquoise products they bought: jade pendants, hairpin rings, necklaces, and the largest was nothing more than a pen wash.
Huang Ji touched his chin: "The material is really good, and the color is brighter than ordinary green pine, as if it has been dyed, so why are there only small ones and no big ones?" ”
"It is said that the value of the large piece is high, and Qianji Pavilion refuses to sell it." Song Yu said.
Huo Nindong pondered: "Or maybe they have other functions." ”
Qi Ci played with the jade pendant in his hand, and his expression was rarely solemn: "Since you can inhale turbidity, you can also inhale miasma." ”
The other three were all shocked. Therefore, the secret hidden in the Songcheng mine may be in this turquoise.
