Chapter 56: It's hard to tell the truth from the fake
The monk had no sun and moon, and after they had talked, they hurriedly called me and said, "I must find that thin old man, how can I be willing to be deceived by so many spirit stones?"
Since I am the lead, since I am the person entrusted by the loach, then I have to serve well now and serve to the end. The loach said to me half an hour ago, "That thin old man and Uncle Li are not from our ghost sect!"
When he said it, he startled me, he said that Baijing people are from our gang, you are mistaken, cheap that thin old man, do you know what the thin old man's nickname is?
I shook my head, and the loach said, "His nickname is the king of poison." ”
I gasped when I heard it, since ancient times, there is no poison and no husband, this person is the king of drugs, which can be seen to be ruthless.
Loach said again: "That Uncle Li is honest on the surface, and he is called a heart, and the two of them don't have a good thing." ”
......
I asked Bai Shigong: "I can't even find that thin old man, do you have a way?"
Bai Shigong took out a talisman from his arms, the talisman was the size of a palm, he recited a mantra, put two fingers on the talisman a little, the talisman burned violently, and an illusory finger appeared in the air.
Bai Shigong said: "The time for the guide charm is limited, go!"
Di Yuan and I followed. The guide charm is like a never-ending meteor at night, flickering like a ghost fire in the wilderness, and moving forward without hesitation.
I'm curious, what's going on with this thing: "What is the principle of this?"
Bai Shigong said: "I left a mark on my divine treasure, and the guide talisman is used to find the mark, and you can really understand it when you reach the Yuan Infant Stage and cultivate the talisman." ”
It came to a stop in front of a house in a more remote village outside Komiyagi, and the guide charm spun around in place and disappeared. Bai Shigong said: "This is it!"
This small village loach told me that it was called Brick Village, which was used to store bricks from the time of the construction of Komiyagi a long, long time ago, and it can be said to be an ancient village.
Bai Shigong couldn't wait to open the courtyard door, and some birds were sleeping in the trees in the yard.
The movement caused the only large house in the courtyard to be lit up, and of course it was fluorescent.
The main entrance was pushed open with a "squeak", and an old man walked out, and when the old man saw Bai Shigong and Di Yuan, he said with a smile: "What are the two seniors looking for me in the middle of the night?"
"You've slept soundly this night, but my Divine Treasure Crystal Skull and Spirit Stone are still there?"
The thin old man rubbed his eyes and said, "Senior, what do you mean?"
Bai Shigong moved suddenly, and when the thin old man reacted, his neck had been choked by Bai Shigong and he couldn't move.
The thin old man was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Senior, this is a small palace city, and there are many demon hunters. Also, I don't understand what you mean by that."
Bai Shigong said fiercely: "The Nine Dragon Pier and the Treasure Sword are all fake, and the other ancient treasures are also fake. ”
Di Yuan angrily threw the cloth bag to the ground, and there was a loud noise.
"Senior, if you have something to say, there must be a misunderstanding here. ”
Bai Shi Gongliang didn't dare to run away, put a circle of light on the thin old man's neck, let go of his hand and said: "What can be any misunderstanding, this kid originally led me to the ancient city to look for treasures, I don't know how you know our purpose, you actually pretended to find the tomb halfway, do you still need me to tell me about the rest of the matter? That Uncle Li is also your person, and he deliberately sold me the fake Nine Dragon Pier." ”
The thin old man said in astonishment: "What, he sold Jiulongdun to you, I really don't know." ”
I was secretly surprised in my heart, I was still acting at this level, I was really a master.
Bai Shigong took out an ordinary magic weapon like a hundred respectful people, and hit the Nine Dragon Pier is blow, and a piece of paint fell off on the Nine Dragon Pier, this time he didn't use the magic weapon, just to make the King of Poison completely admit it.
"Ahem, are you sure it's fake?" The King of Poison looked at Bai Shigong strangely, and continued, "Let me tell you this, this ancient treasure has been underground for thousands of years, and a natural slurry will form on the surface, because the influence of various soil and stone molecules and oxygen will gradually form a kind of cladding, and what you knock off is nothing more than this layer of unaffected epidermis." Also, didn't you notice it? If this is a fake Gu Bao Ling Treasure, this magic weapon of yours can't be torn apart with the blow of your cultivation?"
As soon as I heard it, well, what I said really makes sense, is Baijing people wrong?
Bai Shigong carefully put down the Nine Dragon Pier, as if he was persuaded again, he took out the treasure knife and asked: "What is this written Lai Fang, is Lai Fang a refining master? Since it is the treasure knife of Ouchi, why don't you engrave Ouchi?"
The King of Poison shook his head, and I said, "Senior, who are you listening to? What comes out of the Immortal Emperor Palace is to be engraved instead of signed? Also, the grandmasters have their own preferences, and this Lai Fang You don't know it doesn't mean that the experts don't know, Lai Fang is a refining master of the first three Immortal Emperor Dynasty, and the name Lai Fang is the name of a eunuch who is neither male nor female, which just proves that this thing comes from Ouchi. ”
Di Yuan looked at Bai Shigong, Bai Shigong didn't look at Di Yuan, because Bai Shigong didn't know what to say, it seemed that he really misunderstood, could it be that Baijing people lied to us, but it was not good for him to lie to us, but what the thin old man said made sense, there was nothing wrong, and he had tested Jiulongdun before It was indeed a usable baby.
Bai Shigong pointed at the prohibition on the neck of the king of poison, and the forbidden aperture disappeared, I saw it, what a powerful technique, worthy of being a regimental commander-level figure, with the power of the Yuan Infant in the realm, you can perform all kinds of tricks with your hands and feet.
Seeing that the two of them were very helpless, the King of Poison said with a sad face: "Do you know why I haven't returned to Xiaomiyagi yet? Because that Uncle Li sued me to the patron, saying that I had sold all my treasures to outsiders. I estimate that it won't be long before they will find me and send me to the Demon Hunter to be brought to justice, and at that time, not to mention your divine treasures, spirit stones, and even the treasures in your hands will have to be confiscated by the Demon Hunting Envoy, even if you are an immortal army, but if it is not a local immortal army, it will be impossible to escape. ”
When Bai Shigong heard this, he felt that something was not right, and said: "I haven't known what to call you after trading for a long time." ”
The king of poison said: "The surname of the little old man is single, and the single word is a benevolent character. ”
Shan Ren and good people have the same sound, I listened to it and secretly laughed, if it weren't for the loach telling me that he was the famous king of poison in Komiyagi, his name is really Shan Ren, I really took what he just said seriously, since this person is the king of poison, the truth and falsehood of what he said are naturally mixed together, I just don't know which sentence is true, which sentence is false, this treasure is still fake nine times out of ten.
......
Invited into the house, Shan Ren said: "This is a ruined job, and I will have to live in the wilderness in the future." ”
Di Yuan said: "It's really not good, you just join our immortal army, and your ability to explore treasures can be regarded as a useful person." ”
Bai Shigong didn't speak, this old man is too complicated, whether the immortal army can take him in or not, Di Yuan is also close, saving some face for the recklessness just now.
However, Bai Shigong was still a little skeptical, and said: "Anyway, return my Divine Treasure Crystal Skull to me, you can take this Nine Dragon Pier back first, and my spirit stone." ”
"Ahem, your spirit stone is not with me, I will give you the crystal skeleton at most, you have to find that Uncle Li to ask for your spirit stone, we are a temporary team, and the part of the spirit stone in Jiulong Dun is in his hand." ”
"Okay, give me the crystal skeleton, and other spirit stones, you can take back these ancient treasures first, and then ......buy them when I figure it out."
The King of Poison said, "Ahem...... Now the patron owner knows that I have sold the treasure and is looking for me everywhere, if I don't make a quick move and escape from here, I will fall into the hands of the demon hunter, I don't know who the patron is, his messengers are all masked and false. ”
Bai Shigong said: "Let's change things back first!" The current Bai Shigong is to minimize the loss if he can, although "Shan Ren" seems to be right, but in comparison, the treasure master that the loach helped to find is more trustworthy, and the style is different.
Just after exchanging treasures, suddenly someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard.
Wang Shan Ren said: "Wait a minute, I'll take a look, maybe the demon killer is coming." ”
Di Yuan said: "If the demon hunting envoy is not knocking on the door, it is more likely to break in." ”
Shan Ren said: "That's right!"
A person came in outside, and he heard Shan Ren say outside: "Brother Sun came to visit late at night, what are you doing?"
The grandson brother said: "Brother Shan, I want a batch of antiques, now the world is in chaos, there are a lot of people who want ancient treasures, I don't know if you have a spot in your hand, I know a big customer of the county government, I can produce a batch." ”
"Don't say it, someone just returned the goods to me, what a coincidence, you inspect the goods a priori, and make a price if it's okay. ”
The grandson brother took out the ancient treasures in a daze, checked them one by one, and said: "The condition is good, I will give you 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, I will pack them." ”
The king of poison said: "No, this Nine Dragon Pier alone is worth hundreds of thousands, and you can't take 100,000." ”
Brother Sun said: "I know what you do, you can go when you see profit, otherwise you will have a lot of dreams at night, and it will not be good to be remembered, I heard that the Demon Hunting Mansion seems to want several treasure hunters." ”
The King of Poison pretended to be calm and said, "What are you talking about, I am a legitimate treasure hunter, and I have come in a legitimate way." ”
Brother Sun said, "Then how much do you say?"
The king of poison said: "We are also old friends, and we have bought my goods a lot, so let's do it, I'll give you a three-fold discount, 400,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
"It's still too much, I can't try this ancient treasure now, you wait, I'll take a look!"
In this way, the two of them were talking about business outside, and Bai Shigong, Di Yuan and I coincidentally used the four-character trick to eavesdrop, which is vivid.
The two sides have been bargaining, but Bai Shigong finally couldn't help it, his body moved, and Di Yuan Qianli passed the sound.
Di Yuan didn't carry my back either, and said: "That person is a person who often buys, so he naturally knows the truth and falsehood, and this batch of treasures seems to be real, otherwise who would be willing to pay hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones to buy?"
Just when the business between the two sides seemed to be about to be satisfied with both parties, Bai Shigong pushed the door out and said, "Wait! This batch of goods is mine, I will buy it first." ”
The grandson brother was dressed in brocade and luxurious, and at first glance he was a rich lord.
When Brother Sun saw someone, he said, "Brother Shan, why don't you introduce me to a guest!" There was a little stinginess in his tone.
"Ah, that's the case, you came in and bought something in a hurry, I didn't have time to introduce it, this is the senior I just met, and I was talking about the price just now!"
However, the next words of the king of poison made Bai Shigong speechless: "Actually, I don't want to do business with you, I'm not happy, dignified Yuan infant senior, let me say it, cough ......."
Brother Sun said, "In that case, then sell it to me." I will give 400,000 high-grade spirit stones. ”
Bai Shigong said, "This divine treasure of mine is worth 500,000 high-grade spirit stones!" As he spoke, he took out the crystal skull divine treasure.
The eldest brother surnamed Kong said: "I'll go, the seniors are bigger, but I can show up for 600,000 gold!"
Bai Shigong said: "I use this crystal skeleton as collateral, and I will pay one million!"
"One Hundred ...... Wan!" Brother Sun became a little anxious, "If you take out a million in cash, I won't say anything, but you just use this crystal skeleton as collateral, where is the spirit stone?"
The king of poison also said: "I'm in a hurry now, of course cash is the best." ”
Bai Shigong grabbed the coarse cloth bag on the ground, and regardless of whether the two agreed or not, he said: "I'll talk about this business first, I will take the crystal skeleton as collateral, and there are 100,000 high-grade spirit stones in cash." I'll go back to the capital and get a million high-grade spirit stones to redeem these. Would you like to?"
The king of poison, "Shan Ren", said with a bitter face, "The predecessor is so domineering, how can I say anything else!"
Then he turned to Brother Sun: "Let's do our business next time, I'll look for you when I dig up a new treasure." ”
Brother Sun flicked his sleeves and said, "If it weren't for the fact that we are old friends, I would have to be anxious, hum! ”
After speaking, Brother Sun threw up his sleeves and left.
......
Back in the house, the king of poison said: "Don't cheat this time, if you cheat again, my life will have to be in the small palace." Say, when are you going to go back and get the spirit stone?"
Bai Shigong said: "In this way, my divine treasure crystal skeleton is mortgaged to you, and these 120,000 high-grade spirit stones are used as a deposit, and then my brother Di Yuan accompanies you, if anyone dares to bully you, he will take action, and there are few infant monks in the small Miyagi Yuan who can beat my Di brother." Even if we find you, at least my brother can take you away, and then we'll get in touch with the soundbird. ”
"Okay, this brick village is very hidden, ordinary people don't think I'll be here, we're here waiting for you to come back with the spirit stone. ”
I chimed in, "Can't I get the ticket number?"
The king of poison said: "In the past, it was good, but now the soldiers are in chaos, the ticket numbers are all closed, and only the ticket number in the capital is still open." ”
Bai Shigong said: "I will set off immediately. After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave.
"Slow!" The King of Poison suddenly stopped, "I am now very likely to be wanted by the Demon Hunter, so when you come back, I will hang a bunch of air-dried chili peppers in this window from tomorrow, and when you come back, it means that I am safe, if not, you better not come in, Di Yuan and I may have run away, and this house may be set a trap by the Demon Hunter." ”
The king of poison looked at me and said, "You are not familiar with this area, if you want to go back to the capital, you have to go back to Komiyagi first, and then to the county town, and then you can go back to Kyoto through the county town, so you can still take him with you, at least he can guide you before you leave the county town." ”
Bai Shigong nodded, he also relied on me all the way, and the little things were basically arranged by me.
......
Looking back on what happened before, it was really a plot and misunderstanding, and it was a mess. Originally, Loach asked me to take them to the ancient city, and the ancient city arranged for the treasure master Bai Jingren to wait for the rabbit there, but he didn't want to kill a king of poison halfway, so the king of poison chose to be cheap, and Bai Shigong decided that their treasure was real, so it was cheap to be the king of poison. But the Ghost Gate Loach was unwilling, so he still asked me to take them to Baijing to appreciate the treasure.
As for me, except for guiding the way and being a small hook, I can't play any other role at all, first, I am not familiar with these ancient treasures, and I dare not talk nonsense, second, all the layouts are like lines on the chessboard, not generals, these two stupid horses are not led by me, but Wang Enxi behind them, as well as the ghost gate, the dog gate and even the king of poison in front of him.
Once in the troupe, I could step on stilts, whistle, in Yishumen, I could cooperate with the master to fight all kinds of peripheral and even master scams, but in the old industry of Gubao, I am still a newcomer, I am like a floating leaf in this deception moving with the wind, at the mercy of the master, however, there is no personal harm to me, but it is a kind of destruction to my soul, it is really unkind to deceive people like this, and there is no conscience of Master Kong Zhi to deceive and do good.
What I'm doing so far makes me feel that it's inhuman to play with a pair of sophomores. But I had no choice, so I chose to enter the ghost gate and eat with a mouthful of food.
The world of cultivating immortals is cruel, I can only temporarily compromise, and one day I will soar, I will promote good and punish evil, and change this world. But it's not easy to change a world, I'm not even in the Jindan period, I'm just a pawn, I'm just a little hook.
When we had all gone through the details, the sky had dawned, the rooster crowed three times, the birds flew away, and from a few chirps to a boiling noise, from a soothing prelude to a melody that entered the theme, every morning in Komiyagi was like a piece of music.
It's just that in such a concert, I'm not the conductor of this piece, I don't know who the real conductor is, the people from the ghost gate, the people from the dog gate, and the king of poison are all musicians and musicians, and I'm just a guy who helps carry props and move costume boxes.
Back to Komiyagi, looking at this mysterious town from afar, I came here when I was very young, and encountered Yan Doudou and Niu Wugen, and when I grew up and came back, it turned out to be more complicated.
Perhaps the monk's life should also be practiced in the world, and he should travel thousands of miles like human beings to increase his knowledge. If you are just a child, even if you walk tens of thousands of miles, your eyes will only see mountains and rivers and colorful colors. But when you grow up and look back, you will find that in addition to the colorful and mountains and rivers, this world also has black and white, light and darkness, and more time and space, more worlds, and more stories.
The mountain is no longer the mountain, and the water is no longer the water.
