Chapter 174: Pinglu
"What happens if I pawn integrity?"
Ye Qing asked, this is the point of the question.
The candle spirit replied, "If you pawn upright, you will become indistinguishable from right and wrong, good and evil, and do whatever you want, killing from your heart. ”
"yes, I see. Ye Qing nodded, and asked again, "What if I pawn my family affection?"
Candle Ling smiled: "If you pawn your family, you will lose all your feelings for your relatives, and your relatives are like strangers to you. Of course, this will not affect your normal life, maybe without the bonds of family affection, the distinguished guests will live a more chic life?"
Ye Qing was puzzled: "Then what if I am an orphan and have no relatives?"
Candle Spirit smiled lightly: "Not now, there will always be in the future, your wife, your children, are all your relatives, of course, if you don't marry for life, we will take away the same value from you as appropriate." ”
In short, just don't trade at a loss.
Ye Qing nodded, indicating that he understood, and drew inferences: "That pawn love is that you can't get love and feel love; pawn friendship is that you can't feel friendship anymore; and so on." ”
Candle nodded.
Ye Qing thought for a moment and continued: "What do you say about the dream, the future?"
Candle Ling replied simply: "Pawn the dream, you will lose the motivation to improve, and be content with the status quo; ”
Ye Qing frowned slightly, Candle Ling said simply, or rather, the other party has always avoided the important and trivial, and avoided talking about the negative impact of losing a certain emotion, but the impact of losing these things is undoubtedly huge.
Without a certain emotion, will a person still be a complete person?
Without dreams, what is the difference between salted fish?
Without the future, what is the meaning of human life?
Moreover, once you encounter any problems in the future, you will once again look forward to a shortcut, you will return to the No. 8 pawnshop again, continue to pawn things, in exchange for things, and human greed and lust are endless, once you taste a certain sweetness, you will have to inch in, or you may climb high step by step, or you may go step by step to the abyss, and sink forever.
Perhaps, one day in the future, when you have nothing to pawn, you will pawn your soul to the devil!
After figuring out the joints, Ye Qing visualized the Xihuang Emperor's chariot diagram in the sea of knowledge, maintained the clarity of his soul, and continued to ask: "Then look at me, what can I pawn?"
A kind smile appeared on the face of the candle spirit, she was not afraid that the other party would not be fooled, because human greed, laziness and lust are always endless.
"There are many things that you can pawn, such as integrity, friendship, intelligence, conscience, longevity, martial arts talent, seven emotions and six desires, and so on. ”
"Tsk, I didn't expect that I still have so many good things, don't you say I haven't found them yet!" Ye Qing was slightly excited, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "I feel like I can exchange for a lot of things?"
The smile on the candle spirit's face became more and more earnest and kinder: "What does the distinguished guest want to pawn in exchange for the moonlight chalcedony?"
Ye Qing replied, "Of course it is...... Money. ”
"Money?" Candle Ling was stunned: "Doesn't the distinguished guest plan to pawn the above things?"
Ye Qing said as a matter of course: "Of course, such a good thing, of course I have to keep it for myself, why pawn it?"
Candle Spirit: "......" has all my previous words been in vain?
Candle Spirit persuaded: "The moon seeing chalcedony is an extremely rare spiritual material, if you want to exchange gold and silver, the price is definitely expensive, have you thought clearly?"
"In fact, in our No. 8 pawnshop, intangible things such as emotions are more valuable than tangible things such as yellow and white, and customers can exchange them for what they need for a small price, so why not?"
"Then I can't pawn it even more!" Ye Qing said as a matter of course: "Besides, I'm not short of money!"
Rich, capricious.
The candle spirit is a little messy, why is it more and more stubborn?
Ye Qing didn't rush to pay for it, but asked: "Although you said that the No. 8 pawnshop Tong Su is not a bully, why do I think that you will not cheat me, deliberately inflating the value of the Yuejian chalcedony and devaluing the value of the things I pawned?"
Candle Spirit had already given up on Ye Qing's persuasion, waved his hand, and a strange monster in the shape of a colorful divine deer appeared in the No. 8 pawnshop, but the strange one shaped like a divine deer had a balance on its back, which looked quite strange.
"Pinglu?" Ye Qing blurted out subconsciously.
"Yes, it's Pinglu!" replied Candle Spirit, "Now you can rest assured." ”
Ye Qing nodded, the so-called Pinglu is a very special kind of monster, Pinglu is extremely powerful, but it will not take the initiative to attack humans or other monsters, it has a gentle temperament, and likes to help humans weigh items and trade fairly.
However, once encountering unfair trade and cheating, Pinglu will get angry, and the balance on his back will tilt, and Pinglu will dismember the person who violates fair trade little by little and place it at one end of the scale, until the balance returns to normal and the two ends are flush, Pinglu will stop and calm his anger.
Therefore, the flat deer is also known as the fair deer by merchants and others, and is often carved on the pole scale to show the fairness of the transaction.
The flat deer in front of you, the fur is colorful, like the stars dotted in the middle, the antlers are surrounded by auspicious clouds, the eyes are smart, and the balance behind it exudes colorful auspicious light, which is mysterious.
Obviously, it's real, not a deceptive transfiguration of the Candle Spirit.
"Then let's start trading!" said the Candle Spirit, placing the moonlight chalcedony in a tray behind Pinglu, the scales tilting slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Qing first took out 50,000 taels of snowflake silver tickets and placed them in the tray on the other side, however, when the 50,000 taels of snowflake silver were put up, the balance almost didn't move, and Ye Qing's heart was about to stop.
Originally, he didn't think that the tilt of the balance was serious, thinking that the Yuejian chalcedony should not cost him much money, who would have thought that 50,000 taels of snowflake silver would be put on it, and there was not even a splash, which was too scary.
Fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver is almost half of his money, so even if he puts the other half on it, it is estimated that it will be useless.
It seems that in the eighth pawnshop, the yellow and white things are indeed the least valuable.
Ye Qing didn't continue to waste his snowflake silver, but added the things he had just scavenged from the four vendors to the tray, most of those things he didn't know, whether they were valuable or not, he didn't know, so it was better to throw them up and try it, anyway, it would take up space in the mountains and rivers, and it would not be of much value to him, so take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of it.
Ye Qing didn't put them one by one, since he chose to pretend to be forced, he had to have a beginning and an end, one by one, he was too petty, so he poured all the things he thought were worthless into the tray.
The tray seemed to be small and the space was limited, but when he poured hundreds of things on it, it didn't fall off, as if there was endless space in the tray.
Mustard seeds, Tibetan Sumeru.
When Ye Qing put the things in, the antlers of the flat deer slowly lit up with a multicolored divine light, the light was soft and gentle, mysterious and unpredictable, the multicolored light lasted for a while, and then in Ye Qing's surprised eyes, a small half of the thing was thrown out of the tray and fell in front of Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why, but he saw Candle Ling sneering: "Distinguished guest, those are all wastes without any value." ”
After removing the worthless things, the balance on the back of the flat deer began to tilt slowly, but in the end, it was still a little bit worse.
"Honorable guest, it doesn't seem to be enough. Candle Spirit smirked.
Ye Qing was not in a hurry, thought about it, and put the useless tricks and secrets on his body, such as the skinning knife, the deceased's shroud, the bones, "Iron Smelter", "Dengping Floating Water", etc., into the balance.
With the addition of these things, the scales slowly begin to flush.
It's just that Ye Qing didn't notice that when he put in the skinning knife, the deceased's shroud, the bones and other tricks, the candle spirit on the side showed a weird smile on his face, and the candles on the ebony shelves shook together, showing a strange light.
"You're dead. ”
Looking at the slowly flush scale, the smile on Candle Ling's face became brighter and brighter, and her heart became more and more proud, she used her special ability to cover up the true value of those tricks, and Pinglu hated cheating and unfair trade the most, once Pinglu found that there was a problem with those tricks, he would definitely think that Ye Qing was cheating, and he would do something to him, whether it was to hit Ye Qing hard, or kill him directly, for the eighth pawnshop, there would be no harm.
If Ye Qing suffers a serious injury, he will definitely need treatment, and he is in a strange city, there are many dangers, and he can't leave until the time comes, if he chooses to leave with serious injuries, it is no different from suicide, then Ye Qing's only choice is to retrade with the No. 8 pawnshop to treat the injury, and when the time comes, she will be able to get what she wants.
If the other party is directly killed by Pinglu, then it is simpler, his soul will directly belong to the No. 8 pawnshop.
It was just perfect!
Thinking of this, Candle Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud, in fact, she had used this method to trap many people, and the souls of those people, without exception, were now in the eighth pawnshop.
Ye Qing didn't know about the impending danger, but looked at the scales that were about to be leveled, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
But at this moment, the treacherous scripture in his arms suddenly emitted a faint light, and a silver dragon and snake rune slowly disappeared.
At the moment when the dragon and snake runes disappeared, lines of text automatically appeared on the Sutra:
Candle Spirit was tricked by Ye Qing, and he refused to give up, so he used his natural ability to secretly cover up the true value of Ye Qing's trading items, in an attempt to arouse Pinglu's anger, so as to kill Ye Qing and collect Ye Qing's soul.
However, when he got carried away and couldn't live for his own sin, when the candle spirit was secretly proud, he accidentally leaked a trace of breath and was discovered by Pinglu.
Pinglu was furious and immediately killed Candle Spirit.
When the four words "kill the candle spirit" appeared, they slowly disappeared again, as if they could not bear the power of fate in them, but just when the four words were about to disappear, the remaining sixteen silver dragon and snake runes on the sophistication all emitted dazzling silver light, and six silver dragon and snake runes collapsed and disappeared in a row.
As the six silver dragon and snake runes disappeared, the four words that were almost about to disappear reappeared, condensed as before, red as blood:
"Kill the Candle Spirit!!"
