Chapter 162: Minghua Jade
Shangguan Yi and Mo Qianliu chatted and arrived at the Forest of Steles, which was their destination.
"But how many times I've been here, I still feel that this place is very shocking. Mo Qianliu walked, talking about her feelings.
"Shocked?" Shangguan Yi was a little puzzled, although the Forest of Steles does have a very heavy atmosphere and sense of heritage, but it is still a bit unqualified to make Mo Qianliu feel shocked, right?
"Countless sages have left traces, feelings, and even inheritances here, and from generation to generation, there is such a landscape, how can it not be shocked?" Mo Qianliu looked up at the huge stone tablet and sighed softly.
"Well, that's true. Shangguan Yi nodded, agreeing with her statement, although he didn't have the same delicate feeling as Mo Qianliu about this, especially after seeing the Lord of the Heavenly City's big strokes, he couldn't get into his eyes.
"Heh, it seems that you don't know much about the story behind this stele forest, but it's actually nothing, it's just the emotional thoughts of some girls. Of course, Mo Qianliu could hear Shangguan Yi's perfunctory, but she didn't care too much, people are different, whether it is chance or aesthetics, she thinks that things that move her to cry may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others.
"Have you solved the problem in the Forest of Steles?" Shangguan Yi changed the topic with a strong desire to survive and asked a question that he was actually very curious about.
Mo Qianliu and Huichen are acquaintances, she has been in the Great Bright Temple for a long time, so the back mountain should be very familiar, right? Even if she is not familiar, the stele forest should have been here, and she should have tried to solve the problem, after all, this is one of the characteristics of the Great Bright Temple, and it is not easy to tell her friends that you have been to the Great Bright Temple, and with Mo Qianliu's temperament, how could she not have tried?
"No, the rest of the puzzles here are either not interesting or too difficult, and it takes a lot of effort to solve them, and I don't have so much time to waste on these things, so it's good to have this time and watch the sunrise and sunset." Mo Qianliu unexpectedly gave Shangguan Yi such an answer, but still revealed a little information to Shangguan Yi.
That is: Mo Qianliu has carefully studied the problems in the stele forest, but has not solved them.
"Then should we try to solve a puzzle together?" Shangguan Yi was surprised, but also quickly accepted Mo Qianliu's answer, although she is very powerful and smart, but the owner of these problems is not bad, just like Mo Qianliu said, it can't be solved at all without spending a lot of time, and even has to study the life and deeds of the person who erected the monument, and find some clues according to that as an idea.
"Don't do it, even the two of us may not be able to solve a problem quickly from beginning to end, after all, your time is running out, and we are not here to solve the problem today. Mo Qianliu calmly rejected Shangguan Yi, she is not Shangguan Yi who came to Daguang Temple for the first time, saw the stele forest for the first time, and has never seen the world.
Shangguan Yi was very helpless, but he could only give up, he had not solved the puzzle of the stele forest, and he wanted to try it, but since Mo Qianliu was unwilling, he could only give up.
"It's that stele, remember not to forget, do you know when it's dark under the lamp?" Shangguan Yi took Mo Qianliu around the forest for a while, then raised his chin to indicate that Mo Qianliu was there, and by the way, he also gave a clue, which was quite thoughtful.
As soon as Mo Qianliu wanted to speak, he heard a burst of surprise laughter from behind: "Hahahahaha, after thinking hard for many years, I finally solved this problem, solved!" The crazy joy is quite penetrating to the heart, and the feeling of relief gives the listener a sense of relief, and there is also a kind of sadness inexplicably.
Is it worth spending a considerable part of your life doing something like this?
Maybe I didn't think about it before I did it, but after I finished it, I will faintly regret it, after all, I have already gotten it, I want more, I not only want to solve the puzzle, but I also want time to wait for myself, don't go so fast, this is people.
Mo Qianliu looked at Shangguan Yi lightly, with a little smugness in her eyes, she said that she couldn't solve the problem, right? Even if the two of them were together, it might take a few years to solve a problem, where would they have a few years to spend here?
Shangguan Yi smiled helplessly, in the end, he thought too simply, judging from that person's voice, he could feel that the person was already quite old, maybe he was as young as him at the beginning, and he was full of spirits, but it was just ...... Later, I was stumped by a puzzle, and if I couldn't solve it, I didn't feel very comfortable, but I couldn't solve it and there was nothing I could do, so I had to find a way to solve it, and so on, and finally it was solved, but the time wasted was not known how much.
"Let's go, go back, it's not interesting. "Mo Qianliu didn't even have the heart to join in the fun, so he wanted to pull Shangguan Yi back, although he might get some good things in this stele forest, but the effort was far greater than the gain, and it was not worth it.
", brother, are you selling this piece of Minghua jade, I'll pay a high price!" a voice that sounded full of greed came, still in that direction.
"Get out of here, you stinky profiteer, last time a friend got a baby, you just used less than one-tenth of the price to blacken the past, you dare to say that the price is high, do you want to be ashamed? Friend, don't believe him, sell it to me, but anyone who has been in the mountains behind the Great Guangming Temple for a while knows my price Tong Suo is not deceitful, and the bag is satisfied, whether it is to buy or sell, it is the first choice!" Another voice ruthlessly dismantled his platform and began to boast about himself, which means very obviously, that is, he also wants Ming Huayu.
It's just that there is no business and no treachery, according to the consistent cognition of the above officials, at this time, the people who come out and want to buy other people's things are profiteers, and at most the degree of blackness is different.
"Are you still leaving?" Shangguan Yi shook his head and said to Mo Qianliu, with a hint of ridicule, because he knew that there was almost no swordsman who didn't want this thing.
Minghua jade, "naturalist" records say that it is clearly like the moon, like a small moon in the night, similar to the night pearl, but it is very different, the name of jade is stone, but the superior Minghua jade looks like jade instead of stone no matter how it looks, so it has the name of Minghua jade. It was originally used as a decoration, but later it was discovered by blacksmiths for another use: sharpening swords.
Swordsmen use swords, control swords, and also raise swords, especially their most beloved swords, especially cherished, Minghua jade is one of the best materials for raising swords, but it is also a by-product of mining ore, the quantity is very rare, and the high-quality ones are even rarer, so there are very few swordsmen who have this kind of thing, at least Shangguan Yi and Mo Qianliu do not, but Shangguan Yi does not need it, the sword in his hand is also transitional for him, just take care of it a little.
"Even if it's Minghua jade, it depends on the quality, if the quality is average, forget it. Mo Qianliu said that she wanted to save face, she just said something boring and jumped out of a piece of Minghua jade, where did this make her face go?
"Let's go, let's take a look, what can make these profiteers so crazy shouldn't be a defective product, maybe it's still some kind of superlative-level Ming Huayu, do you bring enough money?" Shangguan Yi shrugged, didn't pursue her flag, and walked directly in the direction of the incident.
"Well, but I don't seem to have much money, so I don't know if I can buy it. Mo Qianliu nodded and walked with him over there.
"Look at it, maybe others are stupid, right?" Shangguan Yi said that he was not nutritious, he knew that it was impossible, and it was just a joke to say it.
......
When they arrived at the place, they could see at a glance the guy who solved the puzzle and got the reward, after all, he was surrounded by the crowd, which was quite eye-catching. He is indeed not young, about thirty years old, weathered, and with a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes, he is a beautiful man.
When Shangguan Yi and Mo Qianliu arrived, he looked at these people indifferently, stunned, as if he wasn't watching at all, listening to these people's performances.
"Hmm, is it him?" Mo Qianliu was a little surprised when he saw him, but he didn't expect that the person who solved the puzzle was still a little familiar, although he was not very familiar, but it was the kind of relationship that could say a few words.
"Do you know him?" Shangguan Yi was a little surprised, it is said that if Mo Qianliu knew, Mo Qianliu should have been able to distinguish it when he yelled just now, but she didn't.
"It's a know, he's not supposed to be a swordsman, and we're kind of hopeful. Mo Qianliu whispered, then walked up to him and communicated with him.
"Hey, long time no see, congratulations on untying your heart knot, do you have any plans next?" Mo Qianliu greeted him, a little apprehensive, afraid that he would forget her, after all, the person who was more familiar with him at that time was Fu Changan.
"It's you, didn't she come?" After the man saw Mo Qianliu, he thought about it, but he also remembered that there was such a person, but the other person was not there, which was a pity.
"Well, she has something to do, so she didn't come, and I came here at this time by coincidence, but I didn't expect to meet you to solve this problem, it's a kind of fate, right?" Mo Qianliu nodded and replied to him.
"Do you know who she is?" he said, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
"Eh, you don't want to go to her, do you?" Mo Qianliu was embarrassed, this guy didn't leave Fu Chang'an, and he didn't seem to take her in his eyes at all.
"Well, when I came here, I didn't have any worries, and at this time, I didn't know where to go or what to do. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it was thanks to her guidance that I was able to unravel it, and this kindness still has to be repaid, I see that she is richly dressed, demeanor, and extraordinary bearing, it should not be an ordinary person, right? The man told Mo Qianliu the cause and effect with a little self-deprecation, hoping to win her trust and then get the desired result.
"Eh, this ......" Mo Qianliu hesitated a little, this person's strength is really good, in the early days of the Three Heavens, it is more than enough to be a doorman, anyway, if you go to the Mo family, Mo Qianliu is welcome, as for going to the Fu family... I don't know.
It's not that Mo Qianliu is stingy or intrigues with Fu Changan, grabbing talents or something, she doesn't bother to use dirty means. Mainly: Although Fu Changan likes to make friends, this friend is very different from a friend, such as she and Ye Xuetian are very important to Fu Changan, you can ask her for help if you have any trouble, you can invite her to drink if there is a happy event, and you can take her gifts during the New Year's holidays; But some other friends are different, they can only be said to be tools, and they are too lazy to take care of them, which is quite ruthless.
She doesn't know how Fu Changan selects people who are valuable and worthless to her, who are worth bothering to make friends with and who are not worth dealing with, but she just has some strange ideas of her own, which she can't see, no matter what her talent, personality, and strength are, she doesn't want it.
Although Fu Changan met Pingshui with this sentence, she was a little familiar with it, but seeing that she didn't even tell her name or anything, she knew that she might not have any thoughts about him, even if she had pointed out his ideas.
Seeing Mo Qianliu hesitating, the man took out the piece of Minghua jade and handed it to Mo Qianliu, saying, "There is no free lunch in the world, this should be the reward for you to tell me the answer, how about it?"
Mo Qianliu looked at the piece of Minghua jade that was the size of his palm, with excellent color and quality, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, just like Shangguan Yi said, unless he already had something that was not inferior or even better, no swordsman could refuse such a piece of Minghua jade.
"Don't mind, you can ask us what information you want, we are very well-informed, among the four countries, as long as you name the characteristics, we will keep it for you to find out your name, appearance, family background, hobbies, how about it?
"Does he have a grudge against that person?" Shangguan Yi asked, leaning closer to Mo Qianliu.
"No, I don't. "Mo Qianliu is a little inexplicable, how can he have a grudge against Fu Changan? What's more, even if he does, what can he do to Fu Changan?
"Then what is there to hesitate about? This kind of quality Minghua jade is not something that can be obtained casually, and now it is almost given for nothing, what are you hesitating about?" Shangguan Yi urged.
"But, isn't it okay to tell him the information like this?" Mo Qianliu still hesitated a little.
"What's so bad? Since there is no grudge, then let him go, they are still friends, if you stop it now, if you let her know at that time, maybe there will be some misunderstanding, not to mention, no matter what happens, it is not her who is injured, right?" Shangguan Yi said his consideration.
Mo Qianliu was stunned for a moment, although what this guy said was a little ruthless, but it seemed to be like this, even if Fu Changan didn't care about that person, it wouldn't be Fu Changan who was injured, although he was a little cruel to that person, but... ,Well,It's not unacceptable.。。
After figuring it out, Mo Qianliu decisively pulled the man over and chatted for a while, and successfully got the best piece of Minghua jade.
Shangguan Yi next to him slipped away very cowardly in the eyes of the profiteers and went to wait for Mo Qianliu to come over in the distance.
