Chapter 50: Luring the Fish to the Hook

The old man was holding a straight knife, the knife was about two feet long, the scabbard was yellow fish skin, and the demon beast skin on the handle was also wriggling.

"This ...... Sir, you ...... It's amazing!"

Wang Enxi said on the side: "No matter how powerful it is, it can't do without the carver, and I have to ask the little brother to engrave four small characters on the scabbard: eldest grandson Ping." ”

Well, this is typically a fake.

Wang Enxi looked at me stunned, and said: "This small palace city is a city of antiques, and the people of our ghost gate are divided into five veins to coexist, each with its own tricks and doorways, we make a living from this, in fact, the fakes we sell, some of them have been circulating in the world, and they have long been regarded as real." ”

I looked at the old man, it was really remarkable, a refining master could imitate the works of the grandmaster, and it was the eldest grandson Ping, who was so famous. The two knives look exactly the same, and there is not the slightest flaw in them, and this old man is too strong. I sighed again and again, shocked, this is even more powerful than Fu Baolong's copying talent, Fu Bao Long's copy of things only has two hours of use, and this old man's magic weapon can be fake.

Okay, I performed a stunt on the scabbard in front of the two of them, first observed the handwriting on the wall, and looked at it for three hours, the words were too small, and the slightest mistake would be different, and the knife made by the old man would be useless.

The handwriting is the same as that on the gossip plate, but it is smaller and finer, I suddenly found that there is a small dot on the second horizontal of the flat word, it seems that the point on the knife is deliberately made of anti-counterfeiting, this point is like a needle tip, very exquisite, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. Looking at it carefully, there is a twill on the word of the eldest grandson Ping, which is thinner than a hair, and it seems that it was deliberately left, and the signature of the refining master will naturally have anti-counterfeiting, which is also normal, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to find it so fine, and the grandson character of the eldest grandson, the small dot on the far right is deliberately engraved a little deeper.

I can observe that these details are completely taught by the Liu jade craftsman, and now they are all used, if they are blindly imitated, these small anti-counterfeiting details are difficult to find.

Prepare the tools, when I carved the knife flying up and down, running the aura, and using the spirit, I suddenly found that carving such a small handwriting, the control of the aura's spirit is more delicate, and my ability to move the spirit has improved a lot. The use of aura adjusted by each stroke of each word is more delicate and unbiased, and the carving speed is three points faster than the small incense burner carved before.

After carving, the old man took the knife and looked at it carefully, and after a while, he touched it and said, "If there is a golden silkworm to gnaw on the surface, it will be more like." ”

"Golden silkworm?" I don't know what a golden silkworm is.

The old man said: "The golden silkworm is a kind of spirit beast that specializes in gnawing gold and iron for a living! It's a pity that there are few in this world, extremely rare, the golden silkworm gnaws the magic weapon is often gnawed a few times and finds that the gnaw does not move, but the place where the golden silkworm has gnawed will leave the secretion of the golden silkworm or called saliva, even if the hard magic weapon will leave this extremely corrosive secretion, nothing at first, as long as it takes three days and five days, it will form an old trace, which is like a thousand-year-old trace, there is no flaw. ”

"Oh, it turns out that the golden silkworm still has such a wonderful use!" I pretended to ponder, but I was actually thinking about the handwriting silkworm, whether my silkworm would also have this ability.

While thinking about it, Wang Enxi stuffed the treasure knife into my hand and said, "There will be a magic weapon auction tomorrow, which is presided over by Wanjinlou." ”

"Wanjinlou?" I have heard of Wanjinlou, and my dead uncle Fu Baolong has pretended to be an elder of Wanjinlou.

"That's right, Wanjinlou is the most authoritative auction house in our demon fairy world!"

"I said, brother, wouldn't it be ...... if you asked me to take a fake to the auction house, and it was seen Looking for death?"

"Ahem, just listen to my arrangement. Wang Enxi said mysteriously.

At dawn the next day, Wang Enxi excitedly found me and said, "Let's go, the auction is about to start, you just do what I say." ”

I nodded, it's not the first time I've deceived people, and it won't be the last, the faces of the monks in the Demon Immortal Realm are like this, it's nothing more than you deceiving me, I'm deceiving you, it's too difficult to earn spirit stones and resources in your duty. However, their fake and real things are of very high quality, and they can be used, and they are still conscientious, which is much better than the fake treasure of Fubaolong, which disappears in two hours.

I put away my guilty heart a little, and found a good reason to calmly go on the road with Wang Enxi, this road is not easy to walk!

The east square of the small palace city, has long been arranged by the Wanjin Building an open-air stage, there are thirty old sandalwood chairs placed below, a row of tables, tables and chairs are hollow design, brown and red paint, very particular, there are guardrails on both sides, there are crossbars on the guardrails, onlookers can only stand outside the railing, but regardless of the people outside the railing or inside the railing, as long as the people present can participate in the auction.

There is a makeshift hut behind the stage, which is responsible for taking treasures and paying money, this hut is very solid, and there are some faint visible spiritual qi fluttering outside, which is obviously protected by a formation.

When we arrived, it was already crowded, the thirty chairs were full of auctioneers, and in front of the first row of tables sat the deputy lord of the city and other nobles, and I also saw a familiar figure, the figure sat on the far right of the first row, this person I knew him when he was still a young man, and I was still a little child, now I am sixteen years old, my skin has turned white, I have changed, thick eyebrows and big eyes, straight nose and mouth, and much taller, presumably Niu Wugen should not recognize me, in fact, even I can't recognize myself, except for a little bit of temperament, the others have completely changed。 I couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from the way he was dressed, it looked like he had mixed up with a half-official position in Komiyagi.

Niu Wugen seems to be out of the mountain, as long as Niu Wugen comes out, then his family's Yuan Infant Peak Spirit Beast must be by his side to protect him, but maybe hidden in his spirit beast bag, once released, except for the city lord and the host of this Wanjin Building, eight or nine times out of ten can be killed by it in seconds.

Because I felt a stronger aura from that host than Master Kong Zhi.

Wang Enxi and I were at the outermost part of the crowd, and I touched him with my elbow: "Alas, such a big show, can it work?"

Wang Enxi said: "You listen to my arrangement from now on, you are now a half-sized child, you have to pretend to be a little simpler." You can just take out the treasure knife and hold it, and I'll leave first. ”

I nodded, this person is a bit like Master Kong Zhi, mysterious and secretive, in the case of not fully understanding, as long as he obeys the arrangement, he can go smoothly, and he can't make his own decisions and mess up, this may be the other party's test for himself.

I looked around, and there were still melon seeds, snacks, frozen pastries, and rice cakes on the periphery of the auction. Whether it is a monk or a mortal, whether they can auction something or not, they all come to join in the fun, this is also a big event in Komiyagi, and even the deputy lord of the castle is here to participate in the auction.

I see that the auction has just begun, the first auction of the treasure is a magic weapon, although the quality of the magic weapon is average, but there is a special ability, can change the form, separated is two short sticks, combined is a long stick, this is very good for the mage, in the battle can change the posture and moves, the two-handed short stick can deal with melee enemies, the long stick can be thrown or swept, strong and powerful, wide open and close.

This magic weapon is coiled with a silver dragon, and the presiding elder of the Ten Thousand Golden Towers shouted: "Although this magic weapon is only of medium grade, it is very hard, and it can be attacked and defended. ”

Then some people began to bid inside and outside the circle, the reserve price was not high, and the monks in the foundation building period could afford it, and the starting price was only five high-grade spirit stones.

I was watching the excitement, and suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, it was Wang Enxi who turned back, and he said, "Have you seen the middle-aged monk wearing a blue Taoist robe diagonally opposite?"

I nodded slightly, and saw a middle-aged monk standing diagonally opposite the crowd, wearing a navy blue robe, looking at the magic weapon on the stage, but looking around as if he was not interested, but was very interested in the thirty masters in the audience. The monk's senses are very keen, and if we both keep staring at him, or even stretch out my hand to point at him, then he will perceive it. So, they all talk as if they are ignoring.

There was a lot of people, and whispering was usually inaudible, but Wang Enxi still pulled me aside and said, "You will find a way to get close to him later, and expose him with this straight knife." Do you understand?"

I nodded, it seems that this is the trick of throwing jade and attracting bricks used by Uncle Ghost and Ugly? Maybe it's about the same, but I don't know how Wang Enxi is going to play, just do what he says first.

Wang Enxi then instructed: "When he sees that your treasure sword must be bought, you say that you will not sell it." ”

"Not for sale?"

"Yes, if you don't sell it, he will follow you, pestering you whether to sell it or not, and will ask you where you got this magic weapon. ”

"Then if this magic weapon is very eye-catching, won't the other monks think about it when they see it?"

"Well, in fact, many people don't know this knife, and there are not too many people who can know this knife, but the middle-aged monk does. ”

"How do you know?"

"I'll explain it to you later, and you do it first. ”

"Okay!" I stopped asking, and I did whatever he said.

"He'll always follow you, whispering to you, wanting to buy this knife. If I asked you where you came from, you said it was ancestral and not for sale. ”

In this way, he will not give up, so you pretend to avoid him and leave the crowd and go to Jiuqu Lane on West Street. You know Jiuqu Lane, right?"

"You know, I had breakfast on the streets of Jiuqu Lane. ”

"What if he wants to rob me? I see that he is taller than me. I asked one last question, a little worried.

"Don't worry, if you are not sure, I can let you do it? If he insists on buying it, you can sell it, and at a low price, you have to pretend to be very high, just a few dozen spirit stones. ”

I'm actually a little worried, what if this Wang Enxi sells me? But think about his hand, my righteousness to his cousin, and the level of the old man's fraud, it should be a fraud, and I am now penniless and have nothing to rob about. Thinking of this, I shook my head, amused by my worries.

Wang Enxi and I gradually left, and I slowly approached the man, and at this time the auction table began to auction the second treasure, which was two stones, and the stone was black and could not be seen on the surface, the elder introduced: "These are two Tianshan stones, there is Tianshan jade in Tianshan stone, but the size of the jade, but it is difficult to measure, through the detection of this Tianshan stone there must be jade." ”

The elder took out a small object, a disc the size of the bottom of a bowl, and a red dot on it, and the little disc came close to the stone, and the red dot of the disc shone brightly.

"The unique jade exploration artifact of my Wanjin Building is well known, so there must be jade in this stone, and the loss of no jade is doubled. But the size of jade has been immeasurable since ancient times, so these two Tianshan stones are said to be treasures, but they also need luck, they are considered gambling stones, and they are willing to gamble and lose. What about this second treasure, it is to give everyone a lively and lively price, the starting price is not high, ten high-grade spirit stones. ”

"I'll give fifty yuan!" The person who stood up was Niu Wugen, I was very curious, but I also had to pretend to be nothing, and slowly squeezed towards the blue-robed monk, since Niu Wugen is here to shoot things, what does it have to do with me, I don't know it. However, I suddenly remembered that they had a spirit stone essence in their house, which was a good thing, and it would be best if I could get my hands on it if I had the chance, but when I remembered that their one-horned cow chased my master Kong Zhi and ran away, I was really scratching my head, and Niu Wugen looked like a fool, but he was actually very shrewd.

I deliberately squeezed in front of the middle-aged monk diagonally, and pointed the handle of the treasure knife I was holding at him, I vaguely felt that he was looking at my knife, I focused my energy on where he was, and carried the spirit to the back of my head, sensing his presence and movement, and sure enough, his breathing was a little rapid for a while. Then I felt a hand tapping my shoulder from his direction.

I pretended to be very strange and looked back at him, this man had a fair face, soft eyes, looking directly at me, and he was full of righteousness, could such a person be easily fooled? If there is no greed, nine times out of ten it is useless. I asked, "Brother Dao, is there something wrong?"

He scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's fine." ”

I deliberately rolled my eyes, turned my face and continued to look at the auction, muttering in my heart, why didn't this person say anything about buying a knife? But just now, when I was breathing rapidly and patting me on the shoulder, I still saw this knife, and I knew it 100%, but I was afraid of exposing my mind about the knife, so I pretended to be fine.

Seeing that the two stones in the second auction were auctioned by Niu Wugen, I also shouted with the crowd: "Okay, the gambling is arrogant." Niu Wugen didn't wait to go to the hut at the back to get the stone, because the stone was afraid of being dropped, and with Niu Wugen's cautious character, he would not allow the host to take the stone away, what if he took away the Tianshan jade that should have been big? He shouted directly: "Elder Wanjinlou, I want to open the stone in public, and I hope to be fulfilled!"

Niu Wugen was polite and very well-behaved, which made the deputy city lord also nodded, and he was very optimistic about this junior.

The elder saw that the deputy city lord also nodded, so he agreed.

On the stage, the elder of Wanjinlou took out a small hammer and handed it to Niu Wugen, and said, "This is our Wanjinlou's gold opening hammer, just knock it." ”

Niu Wugen ran the aura, opened the golden hammer and shone brightly, gently knocked on the stone, the first stone cracked, and a piece of Tianshan jade the size of a thumb cover fell out from the middle. Everyone applauded, this gambling stone, gambling on interest, winning or losing is the fun of the rich, and the audience applauds to satisfy the vanity of the rich.

Niujiazhuang, I know, I don't know how many greedy monks have thrown themselves into the net, Niujiazhuang has already made a lot of money, and the spirit stone is just a number for Niu Wugen.

Looking at Niu Wugen's appearance, I felt hatred in my heart, if I hadn't fled to the depths of the Daguang Mountain Range with Master, we would not have occupied the Shangyun Temple, and we would not have ended up running away today, life and death are uncertain. Maybe this is fate, so I went around and around and went back to Komiyagi, and saw the cow rootless in Niujiazhuang nearby.

Niu Wugen suddenly looked in my direction, as if he saw me, and he seemed to glance at the crowd very casually. I don't know if he saw me, let alone if he denied me, could it be that the hatred I just felt was felt by him?

While I was making wild guesses, I was tapped on the shoulder again, and it seemed that it was the middle-aged monk again.

"Little brother, I said that I like your knife very much, can you cut love and trade with me, I want to buy him, or we can exchange. ”

"Big brother, this is my ancestral treasure knife, how can I say that I will sell it, there are a lot of good things in this auction, you can just look at what you want." Funny. I rolled my eyes again, turned around and was a little pleased with the progress of my acting skills.

He slapped me again, and I turned around and said impatiently without waiting for him to speak: "Alas, I said, brother, have you ever seen a monk casually give away the magic weapon on his side? Alright, this land will be given to you, and I will go. ”

After I finished speaking, I walked behind him, and quickly squeezed out of the crowd and stood on a high place in the distance to continue watching the auction, and used my spare eyes to tease the middle-aged monk, and sure enough, he didn't wait long before he walked towards me.

When I saw him coming, I shook my head as if I was not interested in the auction, turned away, and walked towards Jiuqu Lane.

You can't use the wind control technique in the city, so you can only walk slowly like a mortal, and the middle-aged monk will follow all the way from afar, if I didn't prepare in advance, I really didn't know that someone was following me, and with the psychological preparation in advance, I naturally exerted my luck to the extreme, and expanded my perception to the number of battles behind me.

This perception is not a realm, it is not comparable to that realm, perception is only the basic talent of monks, as long as you deliberately feel it, you will find some wind and grass, this is also the ability of the five senses that expands with the improvement of cultivation, and perception is similar to the sixth sense.

When I entered Jiuqu Lane, the man followed, and soon caught up with me.

I'm really a little worried, will this guy be bad for me, where did Wang Enxi go?

Jiuqu Lane is a dead end at the end, although there are people on the left and right, they are all mortals, monks may not be welcome here, and between monks, mortals do not dare to mix indiscriminately.

The middle-aged monk blocked me in the innermost part and said with a smile: "Little brother, I don't mean anything else, I just want to buy your knife, at least you can show me, although it is said to be your family's ancestral, I can buy it at a high price." As long as you can make an offer, I can pay. ”

I was secretly surprised that this guy turned out to be a rich man, and such a rich man did not sit in the audience.

"Senior, this is a small Miyagi with demon killers, you won't rob me in the city, right?" I asked, pretending to be a little frightened.

"Little brother, I really want to buy it sincerely, how can I rob you, not to mention that I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason, I am a Confucian cultivator, how can I do something insulting to Sven?"

I pretended to look up and down, and then said timidly: "Brother Tai's cultivation is two stages higher than me, and in the late stage of the foundation building period, even if you really rob me, what can I do? I still have to warn you, don't touch me, in case I blow myself up or shout, it will inevitably attract demon hunters." ”

Speaking of self-detonation, it means that the monks in the immortal cultivation world choose to self-detonate the spiritual root when they are in danger to prevent being drained from others, so as to achieve a big move that makes the enemy gain nothing and severely damages the enemy, but as long as any monk uses this trick, he is basically dead and reincarnated.

The middle-aged monk touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "I don't dare to have a hundred guts, just show me, I really like this knife too much." ”

I shook my head and handed the knife to the middle-aged monk. There's a loophole in this, the magic weapon can be put in a storage bag, why didn't mine put it in it? I think this middle-aged monk can think of it too. Sure enough, he asked, "Why don't you put the magic weapon in the storage bag?"

Sure enough, I asked, since I was prepared, I naturally had a rhetoric: "Cough, you don't know, this magic weapon is relatively ancient, although it is not an ancient treasure, but there is no space stone, it is usually used like a knight in the rivers and lakes, but it is also quite handsome." ”

I'm only sixteen years old, and it's normal to be a little handsome, and sure enough, the middle-aged monk nodded and said, "I know, this is a magic weapon created by Mr. Ping, the eldest grandson." ”

I was secretly surprised that this person really knew, and I also pretended to understand and said: "Of course I know, the eldest grandson Ping is a refining master, a real person, this knife naturally has everyone's demeanor." First, it was handed down from my ancestors, and secondly, I was reluctant to sell it. ”

The middle-aged monk said, "This is natural, and I am not willing to sell it if it is mine, so I can pay a large price." You just have to make an offer. ”

I pretended to hesitate for a moment and timidly stretched out my rootless finger and said, "Fifty high-grade spirit stones?" I deliberately added a question.

The monk was stunned, and I was embarrassed, and said with a red face, "Hmm...... Forty pieces, forty pieces will do. ”

The middle-aged monk hurriedly said: "No, no, fifty spirit stones are fine, I am not short of those ten, but fifty high-grade spirit stones are really troublesome to buy a magic weapon that can't even be collected in a storage bag." ”

He deliberately said the flaws of the magic weapon, afraid that I would regret it, and also judged that if I had been carrying this knife to the demon fairy realm, I must have had enough of it.

Since he has such a judgment, then I have to cooperate, I glanced at the knife with disgust, and said, "Okay." Fifty dollars is fifty dollars. ”

The middle-aged monk looked at the knife over and over again, especially the signature on the sheath, read it over and over again, and then said, "How do I feel like a fake?"

I saw that the other party might have seen through it, and I panicked a little, but thinking about the old man's craftsmanship and the accuracy of his own lettering, my confidence immediately turned back and said: "How is it possible, this is a magic weapon that has been passed down for thousands of years, do you want to forget it." ”

He hurriedly said: "No, no, I just said maybe, I didn't say it must be fake." ”

As he spoke, he waved the treasure knife, the speed was extremely fast, the sound of breaking the wind was sharp and piercing, obviously very sharp, he dragged a hair and threw it into the air, the blade flipped upward, and the hair naturally fell on the blade, broke directly, and fell down.

I accepted fifty high-grade spirit stones from him, and he held my sword, and the two of us walked out one after the other.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the alley, nine people suddenly appeared from the side of the alley, led by a knife face, with a white cloth wrapped around his head, as if he had just fought, with a fierce face, and the other eight people, the worst one also had the middle stage of foundation building, all of them were fierce and vicious, and their faces were full of unhappiness. Not to mention these nine people, even the sword-faced Confucian monk is probably not an opponent, that person not only has the power of the peak level of the foundation building period, but also has a trace of fierceness and evil spirit.

The knife face didn't allow me to speak, and when he came up, he said angrily: "As a nurse, you dare to steal the master's knife, do you know what the consequences will be if you send it to the Demon Hunting Mansion?"

I looked confused, where did this person come from, where did a sentence come out, but I immediately understood that it was arranged by Wang Enxi, it seems that there is going to be a good show, I have to cooperate.

I immediately knelt down, hugged my knife-faced leg, and said, "Head, this is my first offense, so you can spare me." ”

"It's not that I don't help you, but the mistake you made this time is not only a crime, but also a violation of the rules of the immortal cultivation world of the nursing institute, if I don't clean you up as the head, then I won't be able to gain a foothold in the immortal cultivation world in the future." Knife said fiercely.

Knife Strip glanced at the two people behind him, and two monks in the middle of the foundation building period stepped forward and threw a golden rope to tie me up, which reminded me of the feeling of being tied up by the hunter monk when I left my hometown, and it was very unpleasant. But I know it's all in the same group this time.

As soon as I stepped out of the line of sight of the sword-faced and the Confucian monk, one of the mid-term monks suddenly grabbed me in the face, and a snake with a thin arm bit my nose, and I was startled and cried out: "Ah-" jumped back in place and dodged.

At this time, I found out that the monk took the snake head back, and it turned out to be an alien with his left hand that could turn into a poisonous snake.

The two of them smiled and said, "I didn't expect the little brother to be so timid, go back to Wangjiazhuang quickly, and we will deal with the rest of the matter." ”
