Chapter 46: Buying Fish
"What is this?"
Zhang Qiying looked at the words on it and muttered: "The top ten masters in the world, the top ten families, the top ten beauties, and the top ten sons...... I've heard a lot of names. Nanhua Old Immortal, Spear Prodigy Yuan, Sword Saint Wang Yue, Venerable Tan Ke Jia Luo......"
"Oh, this is a list that has gone viral recently."
Cui Jie wiped his sweat, finally able to divert the topic, and said: "I went to Wancheng to receive the goods this time, and I saw a lot of people talking about it there, so I bought a few copies out of curiosity, and it was a pleasure." If you like it, I'll give you this volume. β
"Thank you, shopkeeper Cui."
Zhang Qiying heard that he still had a few copies, so she was not polite, and took them over and looked at them curiously.
Lu Jing glanced at it and said, "Who did this?" β
Cui Jie said: "Xu Shao, Xu Zijiang." Have you ever heard of it? β
"Xu Shao?"
Lu Jing was stunned: "He's not dead yet?" β
"Huh?"
Cui Jie scratched his head in confusion: "Xu Shao is now in the position of Cao Peng under Sikong Yang Biao, and he is living a good life." β
Lu Jing was secretly surprised, it seems that the existence of Tianyan does have a lot of butterflies.
The general trend has not changed, but the damned ones have not died, and the characters who should have left their names after have also begun to be active in this river and lake in advance.
Cui Jie said: "This is a list from Xu Shao's mansion on the first day of this month, and now it has been spread in the rivers and lakes and is talked about. His evaluations have always been well-founded, and everyone is very convinced. There are many hermit masters on it, such as Nanhua Lao Xian, Gun Prodigy Yuan, Sword Saint Wang Yue, these three people see the head and the end, but the martial arts have been transcendent, like the immortals, so it is known as the 'Three Immortals outside the world', the so-called top ten masters, in fact, the fourth to thirteenth, but also an interesting thing. β
"Oh?"
Lu Jing was also interested, and leaned over to watch it with Zhang Qiying.
Cui Jie looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the saintess has never been out of Hanzhong and lives in a simple place, otherwise there must be a saint in the top ten beauties." β
Zhang Qiying's face flushed.
Lu Jing glanced at the list, and saw a lot of familiar names on it, including many of the "weak scholars" who I thought I used to read when I was studying, which looked a little weird, such as the "beautiful man" Cui Yan, who was born in the Qinghe Cui family, is a respected celebrity in history, decent and elegant, and far-sighted, dignified, awe-inspiring, and upright, but in this high-martial world, he is the head of Confucianism, the master of the world's learning palace, and a generation of Confucian saints who are respected as "masters", ranking eighth in the list of top ten masters.
In addition, there are also big and small Qiao, Zhen Mi, and Sun Shangxiang on the beauty list......
The family list includes the Donghai Gongyi clan, the Yingchuan Xun clan, the Langya Zhuge clan, and the Hanoi Sima clan......
There are Cao Zhi, Cao Zijian, Yang Xiu, Yang Dezu, and ......
"Strange, why didn't you make a list of famous generals? Isn't that more appealing? β
Lu Jing flipped through for a long time, but he didn't find the ranking of famous players, otherwise he could see if the ranking of later generations was right.
"Nope."
Cui Jie smiled bitterly: "After all, Xu Shao is an official in the court, and Xu Du has no shortage of princes and generals. Where can he withstand a little Cao Peng, he simply won't row it. β
"Well, that's right."
Cui Yan and other great masters are upright gentlemen, and it is estimated that they disdain such rankings, even if they know it, they will not take it seriously, but those generals are not necessarily.
People who have always been brave and ruthless will not necessarily do anything for the sake of these false names.
"Unexpectedly, Heavenly Master Taoist Advocate Lu didn't squeeze into the top thirteen, which is a bit surprising."
Lu Jing didn't say this sentence, he only slandered in his heart, with the supreme inheritance of "Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula", he still failed to stand out, it seems that sticking to this small place in Hanzhong, with limited resources, really limited him.
The big family can wander around at will and look for resources, but Zhang Lu is the lord of Hanzhong, which is his advantage and disadvantage.
The advantage is that all the resources in Hanzhong are his, and the disadvantage is that he can't fight for good things from the outside world.
Defend the land, defend the land......
Turf is a resource, but it is also a burden.
The carriage traveled slowly and gradually drove into Baozhong County, Hanzhong.
When I came to an inn in the north of the county, there were already several masters of the rivers and lakes waiting in the store.
These people are the capable and righteous people who roam the mountains and chase strange treasures.
Most of the processes of scrambling are not very glamorous, and the origin of exotic treasures is also very complicated, so if you want to sell the stolen goods and unload them, you need people with financial resources and strength.
For example, Cui Jie.
"Shopkeeper Cui."
"Sun Daxia."
Cui Jie got out of the car, Lu Jing left Zhang Qiying in the car, and followed him down to see the world.
The two parties are obviously agreed, Cui Jie came to receive the goods, and the surname Sun came to deliver the goods, both parties are very familiar with each other, and it is obviously not the first time.
The name of the person is Sun Huwei, tall and mighty, because he is active in the Qinba Mountains all the year round, the people of the rivers and lakes are called "Bashan Tiger", carrying a golden knife, opening and closing, and has a small reputation inside and outside the two mountains.
Today is the day to sell.
The two parties lined up on both sides, and Sun Huwei and Cui Jie entered an upper room of the inn to talk secretly
Sun Huwei brought a man with a scar on his face, a fierce man, and a big bag on his back.
Cui Jie followed Lu Jing beside him, and the original No. 2 person guarded the periphery to guard against changes.
"This is ......"
Sun Huwei looked Lu Jing up and down.
Lu Jing changed into his regular clothes, looking like a son of a family, not at all like a person in this business.
Cui Jie said: "This is the master I invited, help me palm my eyes." Don't hide it from Sun Daxia, he made a joke a few days ago, and took a few pieces of waste paper as a good green talisman, alas, almost smashed the signboard. β
Sun Huwei's face darkened, and he said quietly: "My brother can't trust my brother." β
Cui Jie hurriedly said: "Where is it, so many times in the past, have I ever been unhappy to make a move?" Just in case, Sun Daxia doesn't have to think about it. β
Sun Huwei thought about it, and the few buyers in Hanzhong were indeed the smallest and fairest in Cui Jie's price. Other people are afraid that the source is unknown, or that the goods bring human lives, and they will lower the price one by one, and they can't do it with a black heart.
He was confident in his goods, so he endured it, and motioned to the scarred face behind him.
Scarface puts the burden on the table.
Sun Huwei opened the burden and motioned to Cui Jie to take a closer look.
There are a lot of good things in the baggage.
Lu Jing swept his eyes, had a score in his heart, and paused slightly on one of the fish-shaped bronze sculptures.
"Yo!"
Cui Jie didn't eat dry rice either, so he looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "The original owner of this [Chasing the Wind] knife was from the Zhou family in Longxi, you actually dare to provoke them, and these things...... It was dug up from the tomb, and a few of them have not been touched for at least ten years, and they are not popular. β
It's all about doing this, so there's no need to hide it.
Sun Huwei smiled: "Brother is wise." Bid. β
Sun Huwei has obviously found someone to identify it, and has his own price bottom line, these things are all good things, around seven or eight grades.
Some exotic treasures can be tried, and some materials similar to runic paper, spirit plants, or exotic beast fur and bones cannot be tried, and can only be guessed like gambling stones.
Cui Jie first picked a few of them that could be tried, and then picked a few spirit root whiskers and alien beast teeth, and then looked at Lu Jing.
- If he came by himself, he wouldn't touch these things that he couldn't try, but with Lu Jing here, it wouldn't hurt to try.
Lu Jing casually took out three of the beast's fangs, and picked out one of them from the spirit root whiskers, the others were fine, he nodded.
Cui Jie breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart the value of these five blue rune flowers.
Three [Snow Fox Teeth] and half a [Fang Bamboo], if these are all genuine and can still be used, it is not cheap.
[Snow Fox Fang] can be used as the eye of the formation of "Frostless Rune Array", whether it is casting weapons or simply inscribed rune arrays, it has the finishing touch.
[Fang Bamboo] is the main material of the six-grade [Bi Serum Heart Pill], which is only two feet long and can be sold for eighty gold!
Cui Jie looked at the remaining good teeth and square bamboo, and was happy in his heart, and sold it to the Shuzhong Sword Casting Workshop and Pharmacy, and he could earn at least forty percent!
"That's all, it's still the old rule, bid at eighty percent of the market price."
Cui Jie's price is fair, and Sun Huwei has no opinion.
Lu Jing never said a word.
After the negotiation was completed and the payment was paid, both parties were very happy, Cui Jie picked up a bronze sculpture and said, "What is the origin of this copper fish?" β
Sun Huwei said casually: "What was unearthed together should be the beloved thing of the tomb owner." Since my brother likes it, take the three golds. β
Grass!
Cui Jie scolded in his heart, he said it lightly, but the price was so outrageous!
One bronze sculpture is only, and three gold can buy a hundred!
Well, it's a little darker, but now he wishes this grandson was even darkerβbecause Lu Jing likes it.
I guess he saw something, his eyes paused just now......
Buy things to please others, of course, the more expensive the better, especially when the person receiving the gift is watching from the side, which is even more affectionate!
So, Cui Jie paid the money happily and walked out of the room with a bunch of treasures.
As soon as he walked out, Sun Huwei's face sank, looked at the three remaining teeth and half of the square bamboo on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "What else do you say is fake and true, and the result is that people can pick it out at a glance, dog thing, you wait, Lao Tzu will go and clean up your ......"
β¦β¦
Cui Jie and Lu Jing got on the bus, and the convoy continued to march towards Hanzhong.
Cui Jie gave the copper fish to Lu Jing and said with a smile: "I watched it several times just now, but I still don't see anything wrong. β
Lu Jing didn't answer, playing with the taste: "Shopkeeper Cui is no longer looking for others to see?" This copperfish is extraordinary. β
Cui Jie smiled: "I bought it for adults." It's hard for adults to speak, I'll do it for you...... Thank you for your kind attention in the future. β
He bowed solemnly.
Lu Jing glanced at him, this fat man had a problem, but when he thought about it in the future, it didn't matter.
"Okay."
Lu Jing took it, took out a needle casually, and inserted it somewhere into the fish's mouth.
Listening to a crisp click, the copper fish cracked to the sides, revealing a smooth belly, with a white silk sandwiched between the abdomen, neat as new.
After unfolding, there are dense mosquito and fly small characters and boxing patterns on it, and on the right side are three slightly larger words written vertically: "Copper Hammer Hand"!
"The Hammer Hand" ......"
Cui Jie was taken aback and suddenly realized: "This group of people actually found the tomb of a generation of famous 'Copper Hammers'!" β
Lu Jing looked at the boxing book and said lightly: "It's a pity that I missed this real treasure......"
Lu Jing has the [Explosive Yuan Glove] in his hand - he had lent it to Jian Xi when the Seven Evils attacked before, and it was the famous weapon of the Copper Hammer.
Today I got his punch again......
Lu Jing sighed in his heart, it was really fateful, but now he is armed with "Iron Bone Clothes" and "Da Wuxiang Gong", with brute strength and domineering true qi, and he does follow the fierce fist technique: "When it is inconvenient to use the thunder method in the future, you can use this...... Below the refining god, if you go down with three punches, you should be clean......"
β¦β¦
Wait for the convoy to leave.
Sun Huwei and the others were about to retreat, and suddenly a sturdy young man strode into the inn, speaking in Longxi dialect, and shouted at Sun Huwei and the others: "It's here!" Here it comes! Here comes the money! I'm going to buy that fish! β
Sun Huwei glanced at him, and said angrily: "It's sold!" β
"Sold?!"
The young man was shocked: "Who did you sell it to?" β
Sun Huwei said: "Shangguan Dao, if you want to chase it, you can catch up." β
The young man turned and ran.
"Wait!"
Sun Huwei went to stop: "You tell me how ...... fish first"
"Don't stop me!"
Before he finished speaking, the young man's face was full of anxiety, grabbed his arm with his backhand, shook it vigorously, and threw him out directly!
The huge force made Sun Huwei smash the table, fell to the ground, and didn't get up for a long time.
The people in the inn were stupid.
Sun Huwei is a master of the seventh layer of qi creation, and his hands are very hard, so he let this young man throw it out casually.
The young man ignored it, strode towards the official road, and shouted, "Wait! I have money! I'm going to buy fish! β
