Chapter 19: The Old Man's Strange Request
In an elegant wing room on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, surrounded by spiritual smoke and strange fragrances, a purple-clothed girl at the round table in the center of the room tasted tea with a faint chuckle on her face. Looking up at the green gauze girl hanging down in front of the door, the corner of her mouth touched with deep meaning: "Is that all?"
The green gauze girl looked up in fear, it was the girl who paid special attention to Luo Tian. I saw that the girl's face was respectful and even fearful, and she nodded lightly and affirmed: "There is nothing wrong with the ghost shadow footwork! And the Qiankun bracelet on the wrist is made by the Treasure Pavilion, and the special mark on it is absolutely correct!" The woman's tone was very affirmative.
"Hmm. The purple-clothed girl fell into deep thought, a pair of autumn water eyes sparkled and thoughts, and after a long time, she gently put down the teacup and glanced at the green gauze girl, and commanded with a light chin on her chin: "Send someone to keep an eye on it, don't show your feet." Go for it!"
"Yes, the subordinates retired. ”
After the green gauze girl left, the smile on the purple-clothed girl's face became more and more mysterious, and Qiu Mu bent to look at the tea cup in front of her, as if sighing and teasing: "Third young master, the little woman is waiting for you here for more than half a month." I don't know if you know that you killed Chai Lie's own nephew, will you still send the entrance tax? Then the conversation changed, the corners of his eyes narrowed and smiled softly, and his fingers stroked the edge of the teacup:
"Will you crush that warm jade pendant and ask for help? If that's the case, people really want to come to the rescue! Hehe, isn't this going against the orders of the eldest young master?"
The stunning appearance of the purple-clothed girl flashed with incomprehension, but then it became strange: "Kuibala knew that I had a private meeting with that Kuibalan, and even asked me to protect his illegitimate son. Oh, you guys from the Quibal family are so special, it's a pity. The second young master Kuiba Han, who was very jealous of Kuibala, had disappeared, and if he had arrived, it would have saved a lot of trouble. It's really hard to do, it's too obvious, I'm afraid it's hard to explain to Quibalha. Headache headache"
"You're just these broken copper and iron, just disturb my dreams?" The old man with sparse hair glanced at the cracked and corrugated long sword that Luo Tian took out, and looked dissatisfied and regretful, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a pair of dirty big hands, and did not forget to taste it.
Looking at the sloppy old man in front of him, Luo Tian's heart was disgusted;
Dissatisfied, but business still has to be done.
There are thousands of bags, and the body is hard!
With a flick of the cracked ripple long sword in his hand, Luo Tian said in an accentuated tone: "Hey, old man, wipe the eye feces from the corners of your eyes." Take a closer look at this long sword in my hand!"
After hearing Luo Tian's words, the old man flashed a little displeasure on his face, raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Tian, he didn't look at the rippled long sword at all, stretched out his little finger and put his ear on it, and snorted coldly: "Boy, are you sarcastic, old and incapable of being a warden in this treasure pavilion?
"The cracks on the sword are caused by a huge force, and it can be inferred that the person who uses it must not be able to cultivate at home, and it will only be the case if the secondary sword is forcibly used to fight a strong enemy. Boy, you're afraid that your opponent is not human, right?" the old man looked at the stunned Luo Tian with confidence, and the smile on his face was mysterious. The temperament has completely changed, and a pair of cloudy old eyes are full of light at the moment, and there is still the appearance of stepping into the coffin with half a foot just now.
"This, this"
Luo Tian was really speechless, although the old man in front of him did not guess the scene of the fierce battle with the vine snake, but he could guess so much information with just a broken sword, and his experience was the most Luo Tian had ever seen. Put away the contempt and impatience Luo Tian's expression was solemn, and he clasped his hands into fists and bowed lightly and said respectfully: "Senior, junior is rude!"
The old man nodded with satisfaction, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly, and his vision became cloudy again, and he asked curiously: "The long sword in your hand is also a good blade, and it can be broken like this." Boy, if you don't die, you will be blessed!
Luo Tian smiled bitterly, and said softly: "Please also ask the seniors to give the kid a suitable price, the juniors urgently need some gold and silver." ”
"Hmm!" the old man shook his head and muttered, "The sword body is cracked and the pattern array is completely destroyed, and there is no doubt that it is scrap metal for a fourth-class mortal soldier." This price is naturally not a fourth-class mortal soldier."
Hearing this, Luo Tian was not surprised, Luo Tian himself did not think that this remnant sword could be sold at the price of a fourth-class mortal soldier. Looking up at the old man, he wanted to know the other party's final offer.
The old man took the long sword from Luo Tian's hand, and stroked the cracked sword body with the two fingers of his right hand together, and finally shook his head with regret and looked at Luo Tian with a curious face: "Boy, I really want to know what you are fighting with; As he spoke, the old man sighed lightly, threw the long sword on the table, and sighed:
"It can't be reforged here, it can only be re-forged, and it is even more troublesome than the original gold stone. Lao Er saw that you and I were destined, so he allowed you how much the price of gold and stone was? Of course, if the kid satisfies Lao Er's curiosity, you can mention it less! Hehe" The old man looked Luo Tian up and down with a curious and obscene expression, as if Luo Tian was the 'Cui'er' in his dream.
Looked at by those eyes full of meaning, Luo Tian's heart twitched uneasily, and he took a step back before he felt a little relieved: "Jiao Teng Snake!" At the end, Luo Tian emphasized: "The demonized Jiao Teng Snake!"
"Oh?" the old man showed surprise, and stood up from behind the counter with a handful of dirty hands, Luo Tian saw that the old man looked excited and turned his head back again and again, for fear that the other party would repeat the scene of 'Cui'er' just now.
Seeing that Luo Tian was very dissatisfied when he avoided the old man, he reproached: "Hey, is the old child so terrible? Hehe, since you haven't been eaten, has the beast been killed by you? Hurry up, that snake demon pill must be in your hand, quickly show me." As he spoke, he was so excited that he couldn't wait to make a gesture to climb over the counter.
Luo Tian dared to let this living treasure run out of the counter, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior, senior, wait! I'll show you." ”
"Hmm!" Hearing that Luo Tian promised to take out the demon pill, the old man's eyes flashed with a suspicious treacherous smugness, and the expression on his face became solemn and deep, and he sat behind the counter.
Seeing the old man's instantaneous change, Luo Tian realized that he had actually fallen for the other party's radical method, and he couldn't help but feel that he was completely out of touch in front of this old fox. My heart also began to be secretly vigilant, and if we encounter today's situation in the future, we must not lose our sense of proportion as we did just now; if we can't say it, we will suffer a big loss.
Thinking of this, Luo Tian's face was still respectful, but he was a little more indifferent, took out the defective demon pill that had not been completely formed, and gently put it in front of the old man, and then said no more, just staring at the old man with a pair of beautiful eyes. As for Luo Tian's changes, the old man, who is the spirit of the world, didn't see it, only the corners of his mouth were slightly raised to reveal an indistinguishable expression, and half of appreciation flashed in his eyes, so he grabbed the demon pill that was also cracked and looked at it.
This time, the old man's time to go was much longer than that glance at the long sword, and it took a long time for two teas to raise his head again, and he shook his head regretfully and said in disappointment: "Alas, I thought it was a flawless demon pill; He looked at Luo Tian and asked, "Can this pill be sold to Lao Er?"
Luo Tian was stunned and said: "It's useless for me to keep this thing, it's meant to be pawned!"
The old man shook his head and said, "You don't understand what I mean, I mean: sell it to me!"
"Do you want to buy it personally?" Luo Tian was even more puzzled
"Yes!" the old man nodded affirmatively and looked at Luo Tian solemnly.
Whoever sells is selling, as long as it is sold at a good price, it will be done; Sui was a little surprised that the old man opened his mouth to buy Dan, but in line with the principle of doing business without asking the roots, Luo Tian nodded lightly, and agreed to the old man's request to trade privately.
The old man nodded with satisfaction, revealing a businesslike look, and returned the demon pill to Luo Tian, took out a bill, picked up the pen, and sang: "A fourth-class residual sword, the price of gold and stone." The price is 500 gold. Then he tore off the slip and pointed to the counter with the 'barter' sign not far away, and with a mysterious smile on his face, he commanded in a low voice:
"Take the bills and weapons to the place to pawn, and ask the boy to go to the tea house to wait for a while, and the child will arrive later. Just report the name of the 'Pavilion Elder' and be entertained by someone. ”
"Okay!" Luo Tian agreed, and walked to the counter of 'barter' with the long sword in his hand, and the waiter behind the counter didn't look at Luo Tian at all, accepted the long sword and glanced at the bill issued by the old man;
"Empty Nafu. ”
The spirit rune in front of Luo Tian recognized that it was a tool that had the same effect as his Qiankun bracelet, but it was not like Luo Tian's Qiankun bracelet that could be used repeatedly, as long as the owner regularly input spiritual power. The empty talisman is more like a one-time consumable with a time limit, when the item is stored, the item can only be taken out by tearing up the rune paper, or when the rune's own spiritual power is exhausted and self-destructing, the timeliness of the rune is also determined by the level of the rune, and the more advanced it is, the higher the timeliness.
Although it seems that the empty charm is not as cost-effective as the storage device, but it also has its unique side; compared to the instrument, its storage space can be changed with the will of the person who draws the symbol, the skill, and the spiritual power of the input; at the same time, some high-level empty charm can even be used only by the holder of the special mark, once it falls into the hands of others, once the other party tears the rune paper; that is to tear the items in the same period together, and then it is a bamboo basket to draw water.
Luo Tian took the rune paper and probed into it, and after confirming that there were a lot of them, he nodded slightly to the old man who raised his head on the side, and turned around and walked towards the gate of the Treasure Pavilion.
