Chapter 51: A Mysterious Town
Half an hour later, Wang Enxi came back, full of spring breeze, stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder, threw over a pocket, I weighed at least a hundred high-grade spirit stones, I didn't look at it, and threw it directly into the storage bag, so that he seemed to be generous, all by the boss's reward, counting the money in front of the boss was too bad to give the boss face.
Wang Enxi sat down and poured me a cup of tea, and said: "Thanks to you this time, the Confucian monk is a showman and has a little knowledge, but this showman is also mostly a man of good manners, dignified and upright on the surface, but in fact he is also a thief of chickens and dogs." ”
I took a sip of tea and waited for the following, Wang Enxi was very excited, and continued: "That Confucian monk still has the magic weapon fishskin knife in his hand after you leave. Don't look at the ugly name of this knife, it's actually a famous knife, the masterpiece of the eldest grandson. ”
Knife Strip Face is also a brother of our ghost sect, and he asked at the time, "Do you know whose thing you are holding in your hand?"
The Confucian monk was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "I bought it from the young monk just now. ”
"That's my lord's baby, and now my lord can't sleep well when he thinks about this magic weapon. ”
The Confucian monk also knew what was going on, so he said helplessly, "I don't know that he stole it from your master, it's none of my business." ”
An elderly monk snatched the fishskin knife from the Confucian monk's hand and said, "How many spirit stones did he take from you?"
The Confucian monk rolled his eyes and said, "One hundred high-grade spirit stones." ”
Blade Face seemed to have a lot of respect for the old monk, so he let the old monk speak.
The old monk said, "Then give you a hundred high-grade spirit stones, and we will take this knife back for business." As he spoke, he threw a hundred high-grade spirit stones to the Confucian monk.
The knife face led everyone to leave, but the Confucian monk stopped him and said: "Alas, and slowly, under the surname of the eldest grandson, this knife is called the fish skin knife, which was made by the ancestors, so I recognize it, and now if I want to buy this knife, it can be regarded as recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors." If you can do it, I'm willing to pay a high price for it. ”
Dao Tiao's face said angrily: "No matter how high the price is, we will pay it when we go back, not to mention losing our jobs, and we won't even be able to do this business in the future, so the loss will be great." ”
The Confucian changed his normal state, rolled his eyes, and said: "Then this is not simple, you just say that the young man escaped from the courtyard, and the knife will naturally not be chased back on him." ”
Dao Tiao's face said even more angrily: "You show talent, you have done such a loss, that is the lifeblood of our master, if you can't find it, he will be angry, and we won't be able to get paid in the future." ”
Confucius said, "How much are your wages?"
Dao Tiao said with a face: "Hmph! There are ten high-grade spirit stones a month. ”
Confucius smiled: "In that case, I will give you nine nine thousand high-grade spirit stones, so that you can save ten years of time to be a nursing home for others, do you think it is good?"
The knife meat on the face of the knife face twitched, and he was a little moved, after all, this is a large number, and he looked a little hesitant.
The old monk next to him was a little hesitant to see the knife face, so he pulled the knife face aside, and the two of them put a soundproof cover, as if they were discussing, and as if they were arguing, and finally the knife face hung his head and came over with the old man.
The old man said: "Xiucai is generous, it is not easy for me to wait for a hard life to disperse, and it is really difficult to resist the ten years of salary paid to us at this time." In this way, this knife can be given to you, but you have to leave Komiyagi early, Komiyagi is not a place where anyone can stay, this is also a heavy treasure, if you are targeted by bad guys, don't blame us. Also, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, buy and leave, we will wait to go back and say that we haven't found it, if the master is to blame, we will resign and quit. ”
The Confucian monk suddenly blushed, scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I actually brought out four thousand high-grade spirit stones, if only there were four of you." ”
Dao Tiao's face raised his head suddenly, and said angrily: "If you can't deceive us, then we won't sell it, let's go!"
The Confucian came back to his senses, looked panicked, and stopped again: "Alas, don't go, I don't have much on me, but it doesn't mean that there is no deposit in the ticket number, if you all go to the ticket number, and it's too blinking, it's better to give you four thousand high-grade spirit stones as a deposit, you give me the fishskin knife, and I will go to the ticket number to get the money and then send it to you, these four thousand high-grade spirit stones are not less, we Confucian and Taoist monks are all about credibility." ”
The old man and Dao Tiao glanced at each other and said, "Okay, it's not a big problem to have four thousand spirit stones pressed here." ”
Confucius took out four thousand high-grade spirit stones and handed them to the old man and the knife face, took the fishskin knife and went straight to the north of the city.
Dao Tiao's face smiled coldly and said: "The ticket number of this small Miyagi is in the south of the city, but he is going north, what a sanctimonious guy." ”
......
I choked on my tea and said, "Brother Enxi, how did you know that Confucian knew about this knife and looked for it? and is he really the descendant of the eldest grandson?"
"Hahaha......" Wang Enxi laughed and said: "If it is really the descendants of the eldest grandson, wouldn't it be famous all over the world, and if it is the descendants of the eldest grandson, how can they not see the truth and falsehood?"
After denying that Confucianism was the descendant of the eldest grandson, Wang Enxi went on to say: "I am afraid that you do not know the true origin of the small palace city, and everyone who enters the small palace city will be targeted by the locals, do you know why? Because our small palace city has been doing the old business since ancient times, what is the old business? It is to imitate the ancient treasures, and the characteristic of the ancient treasures is that they cannot be stored in the storage bag, such ancient treasures are more eye-catching, obvious, and the people who come to the small palace city to buy goods are mostly second-class dealers, or monks who sell fake ones. The Confucian monk may also have just been a casual cultivator in disguise. ”
Wang Enxi choked on his tea when he said this, and asked me: "Before I say why this loose cultivator knows what he does, let me ask you a question, do you know the origin of Xiaomiyagi?"
Of course I didn't know, I shook my head and said, "I have been to Komiyagi before, but I was still young at the time, and I didn't know what was going on with Komiyagi, and I don't know now. Unexpectedly, Komiyagi is still a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, and there is a ghost gate here. ”
"Ahem, there are many people in our ghost sect in this area, and with the development of many branches, it is also more complicated, so you must be cautious. The reason why Xiaomiyagi is called Xiaomiyagi is because the former Immortal Emperor used to have a concubine He Meifeng here, and saw that the mansion of the lord of Xiaomiyagi is now living in that mansion? That is the Xiaoxing Palace and the sleeping palace where He Meifeng lived back then! Therefore, this place is called Xiaomiyagi. ”
"But is it because of this that Komiyagi has a ghost gate and a large number of ancient treasures?"
He smiled and continued: "This is not the key, you think about the existence of Xiaomiyagi in the former dynasty or even in the former dynasty, but it was not called Xiaomiyagi before, and it was renamed Xiaomiyagi since He Meifeng, so that after coming and going, there are many palace marquis living here, including some dignitaries and nobles who have returned to their hometowns." And you always know where the north of Komiyagi is Tiangu City and the south of Komiyagi Castle, right?"
I still shook my head, to be honest, I'm only sixteen years old, I've seen it everywhere I've been, how do I know so many cities, I've heard people say it before, it's also a concept, as for the so-called knowing, that's understanding, I definitely don't know.
"I don't know!"
"Ahem, I said little brother, did you crawl out of the ravine? To the south is the famous Dongyuan City. Dongyuan City is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the Six Dynasties, it's amazing. Because the east source city is adjacent to the sea in the east, the Ganges River runs through the city, the source is in the west, the sea is east, it is very prosperous, the north of the city is the east foot of the Daguang Mountain Range, there are several peaks here, several peaks are not straight but inclined to the east, perennial clouds and mist, there is a posture of facing the sun dragon and tiger, every morning there is a mountain peak like a dragon breathing, so it is called Longxi Peak, at night there is a mountain peak like a tiger yawning, it is called Huha Peak, the remaining three peaks are like three wolves, so it is called Three Wolf Peak one peak, two peaks, three peaks. Because there are dragons and tigers, this has become a famous feng shui treasure in our fairy world, and the ancient Kyoto of many dynasties of the Immortal Dynasty. You see, the mountains in the south of Komiyagi are these peaks. Then this is simple, there are many more princes and generals in Dongyuan City than in other places, since it is a treasure land of feng shui, then there are many famous ministers and generals buried here, all of them are powerful monks, and there are countless immortals and treasures here, and there are countless ancient magic weapons, spiritual treasures, and divine treasures unearthed, but after a large number of mining and exploration in this dynasty, many treasures have flowed to all over the world. Because it has been famous here for a long time, many people still don't give up and like to come to this small palace city to find treasures, which slowly gave birth to our ghost door, specializing in the old business to fool these buyers. Then you now understand why we know that the Confucian monk came to find this knife, right?"
"I see, how powerful is the Heavenly Ancient City in the north?"
Since Wang Enxi said so, the ancient city of that day must not be simple. Sure enough, Wang Enxi explained: "You, you really have to study history hard, this day the ancient city is an ancient battlefield, our Middle Earth and the Northern Grassland, the Northeast Snow Plains people fight all year round, a dozen is thousands of years, although it has long been unified by the Immortal Dynasty, but there are countless monks who died in the ancient city, and there are magic weapons, spiritual treasures, and even divine treasures left behind." Our small palace city, just between the ancient city and the source of the city, there are plateaus in the north and mountains in the south, forests in the west and the sea in the east, the climate is pleasant all year round, and it is a traffic artery, and it is slowly more prosperous. And a large number of ancient treasures will flow into Komiyagi, and it is not uncommon to hold auctions here. ”
I remember singing some ancient operas when I was rolling the floor, talking about the death of the immortal emperor and a large number of palace maids, treasures, gold, etc., so I asked: "Since it is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, how many immortal emperors have to die, and how many treasures do you have to bury with you?"
"Okay, can you think that this is not simple, don't you say the immortal emperors of the six dynasties, dozens of emperors before and after, there are countless burial goods, and less than one-tenth of them have been unearthed so far, right? In fact, even if more than half of them are unearthed in the future, our ghost gate will spread rumors that there are still countless treasures here that have not been developed for the sake of development. ”
I smiled slightly, and smiled inwardly: What a good business.
Wang Enxi asked again: "Do you know "Crying Emperor"?"
"Ahem, I'm ...... How do I know, just say it, brother, I'm still young and shallow, and I hope that Enxi Ge will teach more. ”
"If you want to play the old business, you have to study history, especially the history of Dongyuan City, Xiaomiyagi City and Shanggu City, which is known as the Five Peaks and Three Cities. The picture of the crying emperor is painted by a great painter Wu Daoren in the previous dynasty, the painting is the five peaks and three cities, the five peaks lie on the five emperors who have passed away, and the three cities stand three mothers, especially He Meifeng of the small palace city, the painting is even more beautiful. And hundreds of cars and horses in the city, pedestrians from all walks of life, trading markets, bridgeheads meet, shops shouting, it can be said that the picture of the crying emperor presents the prosperity of the three cities, the three cities are different, the Dongyuan city is prosperous, the palace is numerous, the small palace city is small but very lively, and the ancient city is full of corpses, there are ancient tombs and weapons forest everywhere. ”
He choked on his tea and continued: "Wufeng Mountain is full of monsters, treasures, tombs, caves, cliffs, flowing springs and waterfalls, the heart is high and far away, the clouds and mist are shrouded, a group of fairy scenes, but why is it called crying emperor picture, this is the key, there are tens of thousands of palace maids standing around the mountain under the mountain, kneeling and crying, all kinds of postures, tens of thousands of palace maids, different postures, one crying the emperor died, two crying their own lives, three crying the change of dynasty, tears have flowed into a river, all the way to the east to the sea. Even if the Emperor Kyoto is no longer in Dongyuan City, but since Dongyuan City has this "Crying Emperor Map", it is even more famous, the tears of the palace maid into a river, all the way to the east through this painting, people think about it, and are deeply impressed by Dongyuan City, which is the charm of painting art, and it is the key to cultural influence and establishment. ”
I nodded, noncommittal, this Dongyuan City is really amazing, and there have been such great painters.
Wang Enxi opened the chatterbox, talked endlessly, and began to talk about the advantages of Xiaomiyagi, he said: "Whether it is the grassland people of the Northern Regions, the people of the Northeast Snow Plains, or the people of the Middle Earth of the Southern Mountains, if the mountain people of the Daguang Mountains want to treasure here, they must first go to the small palace city, and from the small palace city can go to Dongyuan City and Shanggu City, because they have to go around the mountain road. But from the small palace city to the ancient city and Dongyuan City have to go over the mountain, so many people simply look for things in the small palace city, and the people of the small palace city have also traveled back and forth to the ancient city and Dongyuan City for many years to dig treasures, of course, there are also people from the Xianjia sect and even Wanjinlou who go to find treasures in person. A hundred times or a hundred times you may go home empty-handed, after all, good things are not so easy to get. Either buried deeply, or heavily organized, often did not exchange for treasures and put their lives on the line. Therefore, the small palace city has become a key place, once there are good things unearthed, this ten thousand gold building will come out to help the auction, and all the heroes and rich customers also like to come here to bid directly, which is much more efficient and safer than going to explore the treasure by themselves. Therefore, there will also be some people who specialize in treasure hunting, and they will become professional treasure hunters, some monks are unlucky, and they have not been able to get a decent treasure in their lifetime, and some are experienced and have become famous treasure hunters. It's hard. So, this creates an opportunity for our ghost door. Moreover, once this treasure is unearthed, it is worth a fortune, and even the fishskin knife cannot be exchanged for nine thousand high-grade spirit stones. You understand now, right?"
He talked endlessly, and he naturally understood it when he said it so carefully.
"As soon as the Confucian monk entered the small palace city, someone from the ghost gate followed, and he was looking for an ancient magic weapon of the sword. ”
I suddenly had a question and asked, "It's all fake, won't anyone see through the ghost gate of Komiyagi?" Also, who bought the real ancient treasures?"
"Of course, the real ancient treasures are all accepted by Wanjinlou, or the immortal king and other big names have received it, ordinary people want to buy real ancient treasures, unless there are relatives. How many of these little Miyagi do you guess are old?"
I tilted my head and thought: There are more than 300,000 people in this small palace city, and these are the ghost gate people I know now, the old man, the shopkeeper, Wang Enxi and the nine people with the knife face, Wang Enxi said that the ghost gate has several branches, then the maximum number of a few is nine, if the ghost gate has nine branches, twelve people multiplied by nine is one hundred and eight people, if there are one hundred and eight people who are old, it is impossible to be so accurate, some branches are more or less necessarily, will there be other old ones besides the ghost gate? It's like orthodoxy and loose practice. Multiply it by double, how can there be 200 people?
"Why are there two hundred?" I replied, half-asking.
"Haha, you kid, did you just hear me tell me about the history of the Five Peaks and Three Cities? Monks from all over the world gather here, and those two hundred people can still be busy when they are old? Let me tell you the truth, at least 10,000 people. ”
"Ahh
"Much? This is nothing, if you talk about the sect, there are hundreds of large and small schools around the small palace, and the ghost sect can only be regarded as a medium and small sect in the old industry. But over time, there will be some unified routines and cultural formations in Komiyagi's industry. ”
"For example, there is a division of labor in the planning and implementation of counterfeit goods. Generally the buyer who entered the small palace city, we collectively call him Xiao Er, this Xiao Er is not the shop Xiao Er, but the meaning of the second fool, whether he is shrewd or average, he is regarded as a fool in our industry. As soon as Xiao Er entered the city, he immediately arranged for Xiao Liu to go up, and Xiao Liu was responsible for tracking and observing, understanding what type of treasure he wanted to buy, how much financial resources he had, and deciding how much money he would loot. The person who attracts the other party to buy or set almost makes the other party fooled is called a small hook, that is, the person in charge of fishing, today you are fishing, and you are very beautiful, I didn't expect that the little brother is not only carving powerful, but also very subtle with the talent!"
He interjected and praised me again, but I secretly thought about Master Kongzhi, and it was all because Master was well trained.
Wang Enxi continued: "Let Xiao Er be fooled, promote the deal, and play the double reed well is called the old circle, the old circle must be a master of cultivation to be higher than the other party, and cause pressure psychologically, otherwise it will be in vain if you can't suppress the other party and let the other party suspect the little hook." The person who makes the deal is called Lao K, and he plays the role of a peacemaker, and he must also have a certain amount of resourcefulness. And the person who planned the whole plan is called Lao A. In our industry, they are also called 'three little and three old'. You'll have to remember it when you mess with me in the future. ”
I nodded yes, this is easy to remember, Xiao Er, is the second fool, Xiao Liu is good at running errands and tracking, the small hook should be exciting, holding treasures to seduce and attract or set almost to introduce treasures to the other party, the old circle is the person who causes psychological pressure on the other party or promotes the acceleration of decision-making, Lao K is responsible for the smooth transaction of the person, and Lao A is the mastermind behind the scenes, the whole routine gang cooperates tacitly, orderly before and after, as long as the other party comes with a purpose, it will basically take the fake and leave, it is really impossible to prevent it.
