incense burner
Time flies quickly, and it's approaching noon in the blink of an eye, but the crowds in the antique bazaar are still unabated, and even more.
Although there were a lot of people hanging out, there were still many people who bought the things they valued, but in Shi Jiu's opinion, most of the things that had been traded were very ordinary, and even if there were a few that could catch their eye, they were all sold at a high price that was several times the value of the overflow item itself.
"Sure enough, the owners of the antique market are all human spirits, and it really takes luck to pick up the leak!"
Shi Jiu continued to walk forward, but just a few steps after his divine sense sensed a hint of strangeness.
"Huh? What's the situation? Is there a big leak? ”
A burst of surprise suddenly welled up in his heart, and he immediately looked in the direction of his divine sense.
In a stall on the right side of it, an old man wearing a big felt hat is closing his eyes and recuperating, and in front of him are all kinds of things, such as the underworld core, kung fu cheats, swords and weapons, etc., like a hodgepodge.
However, Shi Jiu's gaze was on two of the obviously inconspicuous stones.
The stones are very ordinary, the whole body is brown, ordinary people must not feel it, even the monks of the Strength Realm will not notice anything abnormal.
After staring at them for a long time, Shi Jiu found that there was an extremely faint energy fluctuation emanating from these two stones, and the fluctuations were not stable, intermittent, and he might not be able to notice them if it weren't for the perception of his divine sense.
In addition to these two stones, there was another thing that surprised him, it was an incense burner, antique, although it did not reveal any energy fluctuations, but under the perception of the divine sense, it always felt strange, and there was an indescribable special feeling.
Of the three things, he didn't look at the incense burner, but only stared at the two brown stones next to him.
After a while, Shi Jiu walked over to the booth with the brown stones, and then reached out to weigh it.
"How do you sell this?" Shi Jiu asked directly.
"One piece is two hundred crystals, if you want to buy it, sell the two together." The old man squinted at Shi Jiu, who was caressing the brown stone.
"It's a little expensive, isn't it?"
"Is it expensive? It's not expensive at all. The old man sneered: "Presumably, you must have also sensed a trace of energy fluctuations emitted by these two stones, otherwise you would not have stared at these two stones for a while before." ”
Shi Jiu didn't deny it, and nodded, as if he had expected the other party to say this.
Almost none of the owners who set up stalls in this antique market are ordinary people, all of them are monks, there are people in the sect and casual cultivators, and their strength is not weak, and the worst ones also have the cultivation of the spirit realm.
Under the perception of his divine sense, he knew that the other party was a powerhouse of the central realm, and his cultivation was even higher than him, so he also knew the energy fluctuations emitted by the brown stone.
"Even so, the price is still a bit high, why don't you buy one for eighty crystals, and I bought both?" Shi Jiu bargained.
The old man shook his head: "Eighty is too low. In this way, two stones are three hundred and ninety crystals. ”
"Three hundred and nine...... Well, it's three hundred and nine. ”
Shi Jiu nodded, and then was about to withdraw the money to pay the bill.
At this moment, a slightly feminine voice came from behind him.
"These two stones are good, I want them, how much is the old man?"
"I'm sorry, I just bought these two stones." Shi Jiu said calmly, and at the same time turned to look behind him.
A handsome-looking man led a group of attendants and guards to stand behind Shi Jiu.
"If you haven't paid the money, the deal won't be done. Old man, how much are these two stones, I bought them at the original price! The handsome man sneered.
Shi Jiu was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still said patiently: "I have negotiated the price with the seller, and now I am ready to pay, if you don't believe it, you can ask this old man." ”
On the other side, the old man didn't expect Shi Jiu to say this, and his face suddenly felt a little unnatural.
"Well, this little brother is right, we have indeed negotiated the price." At the critical moment, the old man told the truth.
"Hehe, the price negotiation does not mean that the deal has been completed, as long as the money has not been paid, it will not be completed." The handsome man smiled, then motioned to the attendant behind him.
The attendant received the order and directly threw out a bag of crystals to the old man.
"See? That's when the deal is successful. The handsome man said proudly.
"Oh? Is it? ”
The next moment, Shi Jiu also threw out a bag of crystals, and then said, "Now it can be regarded as a successful transaction, right?" ”
"Do you know who I am? Dare to go against me, don't you want to live? ”
Seeing Shi Jiu scolding him like this, the handsome man was obviously angry, in this Yongyan City, no one had ever dared to target him like this, not even those people of the same level as him.
"Old fellow, who the hell are you selling these two stones to?!" Handsome men are aggressive.
At this time, there were already many people watching the excitement, and the old man was also helpless for a while, and finally said: "The one who is taller has to go, the two stones of the son are yours." ”
After speaking, the old man directly picked up the two brown stones on the stall and threw them to the handsome man.
After getting the stone, the handsome man was even more proud.
Then he sneered at Shi Jiu: "See? That's a successful deal, hillbilly! Today's son is happy.,I won't worry about you.,I hope don't let me bump into it next time.,Otherwise, you'll not be as lucky as M.,Haha! ”
With that, the handsome man walked forward with the attendants and others behind him.
After the other party walked away, the old man of the stall apologized and said: "Little brother, don't blame me for selling things to that person, his identity is not ordinary, but he is a famous little overlord in Yongyan City, almost everyone will let him, and I don't dare to offend." ”
"Oh? What is the identity of the other party? Shi Jiu asked.
"It seems that you are indeed not a local, no wonder you don't know." Hearing Shi Jiu's inquiry, the old man nodded and continued: "That young man just now is from the Mixed Yuan Palace, and his grandfather is the Palace Master of the Mixed Yuan Palace, a well-known Earth Soul Realm powerhouse, and also one of the four giants of the Yongyan Mansion, no one dares to offend him. ”
"The people of the Mixed Yuan Palace, no wonder they are so arrogant." Shi Jiu nodded.
The people of the Mixed Yuan Palace, it was not the first time he had met him. When he was in Lanming City before, he heard that the Ghost Fire Sect was going to form an alliance with the Mixed Yuan Palace, which led to the dissatisfaction of the Peerless Palace and the Tonglin Palace, and the two sides formed their own alliances and opposed each other. And in the Tianmu Mountain Range, he also saw with his own eyes the battle between several soul realm powerhouses of the alliance between the two sides, among which there was a strong man of the Mixed Yuan Palace, in the ancient battlefield later, the soul realm powerhouse of the Mixed Yuan Palace was directly killed by the Earth Demon King, although he did not see it with his own eyes that time, but there was a figure of the Mixed Yuan Palace everywhere, which made Shi Jiu pay a little more attention to this sect, especially the strong man of the Earth Soul Realm in this sect.
"In this way, in order to express my apologies, you can pick any other thing in my stall, and I will sell you cheaply." The old man said.
Hearing what the old man said, Shi Jiu immediately became excited, but his face was still not angry.
Then he looked at the items in the whole stall, touched left and right, and finally compared it left and right on an incense burner and a bronze mirror, and could not make up his mind for a while.
"Little brother, it seems that you are interested in two things. Well, you can take one of them for 50 crystals, and the other for 200 yuan. The old man said.
Shi Jiu glanced up at the other party, then pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Forget it, I'll take this incense burner." ”
After that, he directly took out a bag of Jingyuan and handed it over, then picked up the antique incense burner, stuffed it into the storage spirit ring, and then got up and left.
The incense burner was harvested, and the previous resentment was swept away.
Compared to the two stones that emit energy, he actually wants the incense burner more, because what really caught his attention was the incense burner, it was the incense burner that made his divine sense have a strange feeling, and the two brown stones next to him were just to hide people's eyes and ears, in addition, such as brown stones, such as objects that emit energy fluctuations, Shi Jiu has also seen several pieces along the way, although it is not bad, but it is not to the point where he has to do it.
Successfully taking the incense burner, Shi Jiu was in a happy mood, following the crowd, looking left and right, hoping to meet something that made him happy again.
It's just that such a good thing didn't happen again, and in the next half an hour, Shi Jiu didn't find anything that made him feel special.
"It seems that good luck is only once, and it is rare."
The entire bazaar had already been browsed, and then Shi Jiu also left in a huff.
After visiting the antique market, Shi Jiu chose an inn close to Feng Bao Zhai to stay, and after a beautiful meal, he returned to his room, and then directly entered the Sumeru space.
And in the Sumeru space, Shi Jiu put his hands up and down, constantly flipping to check the incense burner that had just arrived today.
The incense burner is made of general material, made of brass throughout, perhaps it is older, and the overall look is antique and has a lot of charm.
"Strange, this incense burner doesn't seem to be anything special!"
After half an hour of tinkering, he still didn't notice anything special.
"Could it be that I have a wrong sense of God?" Shi Jiu was suspicious for a moment, and then used his divine sense to observe the entire incense burner.
After a long time, nothing was found except for the slightest abnormality.
"There is still that strange feeling, and the divine sense should be fine, but why can't it be discovered? Could it be that I did the wrong thing? Shi Jiumo rubbed the incense burner in his hand and frowned.
The entire incense burner had been tinkered with by him many times, and any dead corners had been checked by him, and they were almost smashed.
"Incense burner, incense burner, do you need to light incense?"
With nothing to do, Shi Jiu casually popped out such a sentence.
"Huh? Maybe it works. ”
Shi Jiu suddenly became excited again, and then left the Sumeru space and went to the street to buy incense.
Half an hour later, he carried the sandalwood incense he bought into the Sumeru space again.
Then he took out a small piece of incense, lit it, and put it in the censer.
Soon, a faint fragrance filled the entire Sumeru air, but Shi Jiu didn't care about this, but stared at the incense burner tightly, expecting a special discovery.
When the incense was completely burned, the imaginary changes did not occur, and the incense burner was still an incense burner, except for an extra scent of sandalwood, there was no other change.
"Could it be that there is less incense?"
Shi Jiu didn't give up, this time he directly took out a large piece, and then stuffed the incense burner to the brim.
The fragrance of the entire Sumeru space is stronger, but that's all, except for the slight burning of the furnace wall, there is still no other change.
"Hey, it can't really be just an ordinary incense burner, right?"
tried everything he could think of, but in the end he still got nothing, and Shi Jiu gave up completely.
"Maybe the incense burner is really nothing special, it's me who is too neurotic." Shi Jiu comforted himself.
Just as he was about to put away the incense burner, a cough sounded not far away.
"Little one, what are you doing? The smell was so strong that I couldn't even sleep. ”
Not far away, a self-portrait suspended in the air, the light flashed, and a figure walked out of it.
"I'm sorry, Senior Cloud-Covering, for disturbing your sleep."
The person who came was the Venerable Covered Cloud who had been sleeping in the portrait before, and at this moment he had already come to Shi Jiu's side, and then looked at the incense burner in the other party's hand.
"Incense burner? Why, little one, do you want to make this a woman's boudoir? I didn't expect you to have this hobby. Venerable Cloud Covering quipped.
Shi Jiu's face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly explained: "Senior, you misunderstood, I was just testing what is so strange about this incense burner. ”
After that, he told about visiting the antique market during the day.
"So, you bought this incense burner because your divine sense sensed something was wrong, but you didn't find anything after a long day of drumming?" Venerable Cloud Cover asked with a smile.
"Uh...... Basically, but ......"
"But what? Still want to give it a try? ”
"Forget it, don't try it, I admit it, this incense burner should really be just ordinary goods." As he spoke, Shi Jiu sighed helplessly.
