"Wait!"

An old man lifted the curtain and came out, this person was very old, thin, energetic, bald, with a bright and sparkling "barren land" on the top of his head, and a circle of curly gray hair under the bald top, a typical hoop barrel head.

This person was dressed in a black robe, and there were nine red bars on his chest, indicating his status as a nine-dan yuanshi.

Water old man!

Huo Xu recognized him at a glance as the owner of the Shui Jade Shop, Shui Xie, who was considered his old acquaintance, and said flatteringly: "Grandpa Shui, don't come unharmed." ”

There is no successor to the cultivators of the Shui clan, leaving aside the two sisters of the strong Shui Zhizhi and Shui Zhimei, the only Yuan Shi in the whole clan is the bald old man in front of him.

In the past ten years, the Shui family has not produced a new generation of Yuanshi.

Staring at the bald head that was shining with oil, thinking of Shui's embarrassing situation, Huo Xu shook his head a little sympatheticly, and looked at the Yuanjing wall that was half-hidden by jade behind the shelves.

Under the dim light, the Yuan Jing wall from time to time out of the dazzling streamer, fleeting, obvious, there was a strong person in this enchantment, with the color of the streamer can be seen, the person who laid the enchantment back then, is definitely a rare Yuan Kun powerhouse in the world!

Thousands of years ago, the brilliance of the Shui Clan was far from being comparable to that of the Fire Clan at that time, as evidenced by the enchantment left by its Yuankun ancestors.

It was a pity that since the fall of that Yuankun Ancestor, the Shui Clan had begun to decline, and the talent of cultivators was not as good as that of the next generation.

In addition, the Northern Expedition ten years ago buried all the male powerhouses and cutting-edge scholars of the whole clan, and almost lost the family heritage accumulated for tens of thousands of years, so, like the Huo Clan, without a long period of shock, it will be difficult for the Shui Clan's cultivation system to get back on track.

Seeing the streamers flashing one after another in the darkness of the wall, Huo Xu couldn't help but ponder: "What kind of treasure is hidden here, and you actually have to bother the Yuankun powerhouse to enchant it with his own hands?" Thinking about it, my eyes couldn't help but roll.

"Don't be diligent, it's useless for you to call me ancestor!"

After looking at Huo Xu for a long time, his face was originally a little kind and a little smiling, but suddenly he saw that the young man's eyes were rolling, and he was a thief, Shui Xie suddenly sank his face, and said angrily, snatched the jade pendant from Shui He's hand, and carefully scanned the jade pendant with a cloudy gaze.

After confirming that the jade pendant had not been dropped, the old man raised his eyebrows, breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he returned the jade pendant to its place, he showed a relieved look after successfully preventing the unscrupulous people from deceiving the heart and liver baby.

Then he poked a finger at the head of the water crane, and hummed as if he was in a clay pot: "You stupid grandson, you take such a valuable jade pendant to give to outsiders, do you want our grandfather to drink the northwest wind from now on to live?" ”

"When I was in Yuanzhiyuan, Huo Xu and I were ······ Classmate, he is not an outsider. Shui Xie lowered his head, his eyes rolled up from time to time, and he muttered tremblingly and unwillingly.

Shui Xie couldn't cry or laugh, crossed his hands on his hips, and reprimanded: "Grandson, you are so stupid and cute!" His surname is fire, your surname is water, water and fire ······"

almost said such a thing as the incompatibility of water and fire, and after thinking about it, he felt that the relationship between the two clans was not bad enough to be so bad, so he hummed in a low voice: "It's obviously two surnames!" ”

I wanted to come to explore the tone of the Water Pavilion to see if the head of the Shui Clan, Shui Zhizhi, was in poor health like the legend, but after listening to the words of the Water Pavilion, Huo Xu actually left the business, there were no rules in his mouth, and he said:

"Old man Shui, isn't it just a jade pendant, give it to me on credit first, I will come to pay in a few days, and I can't fly to the sky, what are you worried about? Hmph, the entire business community in the capital is stingy with Shui's jade shop! ”

For some reason, every time he quarreled with the water pavilion, he would let go of the grand world in his chest, distract from the deep calculations in his mind, and instantly turn back into an ordinary boy in Lofe City who was a little clever and a little naughty.

"On credit? My Shui clan jade shop has never earned a single silver coin from the Huo Clan, your Huo clan is no longer as rich as ten years ago, even if the patriarch Huo Jing arrives and asks him to spend 10,000 silver coins to buy a jade pendant, I am afraid that he will deduct the rope for a long time before he is willing to ask the price with a pain in his liver and flesh.

Your kid is not covered by your uncle now, and you have a little pocket money in your pocket, so you want to spend a lot of money on credit, you are crazy! ”

Shui Xie felt that he still hadn't scolded him, so he walked over, stared at Huo Xu coldly and said, "Want to play a scoundrel? Unless you fight Grandpa and I and win against me, don't think about taking a single hair from our store for nothing! ”

Shui Xie is a nine-stage Yuanshi, Huo Xu is only a seventh-level Yuanshao, and there is a world of difference in strength, and competing with the old man of the water is undoubtedly looking for a draw!

Covering his face and thinking about it, Huo Xu raised his head violently and grinned: "It's boring to compete with one old and one young, eh, I have a problem, if I stump you, what will happen to you?" ”

It's just that Shuixie is a stubborn old man, he never accepts his old age in front of Huo Xu, and he doesn't admit that his IQ is not online, listening to Huo Xu say that he wants to stump him with a difficult problem, his cloudy old eyes flashed, and he said with interest:

"Hehe, grandpa eats more salt than you eat rice, and he's seventy, what's the problem that can stump the old man? Everyone knows that Shui's jade shop is based on integrity, Tong Suo is not bullied, say it quickly, if you stump the old man, this jade pendant belongs to you!

If it's hard for the old man, from the day you were eliminated by the Yuan Shaoyuan, you came to the Shui's Jade Shop as a clerk, of course, the treatment here is very good, including food and accommodation, hehe, but there is no pay within two years. ”

You black-hearted boss! Huo Xu scolded secretly, a little worried in his heart, provoking the stubborn old man in front of him, it is not a joke, if he accidentally becomes self-defeating, and he is really forced to be a slave in the future, it will be miserable!

The empathetic Feng Yang hurriedly grabbed Huo Xu's sleeve and said in his ear: "Forget it, Brother Xiao Xu, I just think this jade pendant is a little special, so I took a few more looks, but I don't really like it." ”

Huo Xu pulled the wind around, turned his back to the water pavilion, and whispered: "It's just a game, it's fun, you don't have to worry." ”

"Is it really fun?" Feng Biao suddenly became interested.

Huo Xu smiled and said awkwardly: "Wait a minute, I will stump the old man Shui, let's take the jade pendant and leave, let him go crazy." ”

wiped his face, turned around, and said slightly mysteriously: "I have a friend, not long ago his brother-in-law's mother-in-law died, my friend wanted to go to the mourning scene to mourn, but I don't know how to call my brother-in-law's mother-in-law, it is inconvenient to inscribe the couplet." Do you know what to call it, old man?

Give you three minutes, and when the time comes, if you can't answer, I will take the jade pendant and leave. ”

Shui Xie frowned, his face instantly became constipated, he pondered for a while, and said to himself: "This brother-in-law is not a particularly close blood relative, and it involves the mother-in-law of a person who is not a blood relative, and the relationship between the eight poles can't be beaten!"

Ouch, today's young people love to join in the fun, and all relatives leave, it's just nonsense! ”

"There's a minute left." Huo Xu reminded with schadenfreude on the side.

"Oh······ Oh······ What a strange name for this! The water pavilion was swaying for a long time, his hands were swinging wildly, he couldn't figure it out, the time limit had come, his face trembled, his expression was confused, and he subconsciously handed the jade pendant to Huo Xu.

"It's time!" Huo Xu was overjoyed to take the jade pendant, took Feng Yan's hand, and the two flew out of the store like the wind, and after a while, they became two small shadows at the end of the long street.

Shui He picked his scalp and muttered, "Eh, it's strange, the two of you are not a couple······ Sisters? Isn't the mother-in-law of the brother-in-law the mother-in-law of Huo Xu's friend? ”

Mother-in-law? Mother-in-law!

"Wow!" Shui Xie's eyes widened in shock, and he paused with remorse: "Silly grandson, why didn't you say it earlier?" It's too late to say anything! 10,000 silver coins is enough to cover two months' net profits, and in two months, the old man is actually volunteering for that kid! ”

Seeing that his grandfather's face was a little scary, Shui He stepped back and muttered in a low voice: "I can't react, and I still call me stupid." ”

Huo Xu pulled the wind and the two ran all the way to Ziyang Square before stopping to catch their breath. Feng Biao bent over, breathing heavily, his chest rose and fell violently, and when his panting became a little weaker, he straightened up and held Huo Xu's shoulder and smiled:

"Grandpa Water······ When the jade pendant is handed to you, the person is stupid, and the face is ······ Green, beards are shaking, gurgling······ You're going to make a mess of the old man! ”

Huo Xu also smiled, "The old man married an only daughter back then, he didn't have a brother-in-law, he lacked personal experience, and it was really difficult for him to turn the corner in three minutes." ”

"Take the precious jade pendant of the white family······ Not so good. Feng Biao's tone was full of embarrassment.

"Who said it was for nothing? I've said it a long time ago, it's credit! Huo Xu distinguished.

Feng Biao's eyes condensed slightly, "Do you still want to go to the Shui's jade shop again?" ”

Huo Xu looked back at the way he came, and a deep meaning appeared in his eyes.
