Text Chapter 90 One hundred thousand taels
Going up the stairs, Lin Yu curiously glanced at the situation on the second floor, but unfortunately he was blocked by a screen and saw nothing.
"Qingshan Sect, Qingcheng, the place where the royal family and the sect are separated, there are already mixed dragons and snakes, and now there is a mysterious and unpredictable Mingyue Pavilion, and the situation is really getting more and more complicated. Looking up at the attic full of wooden structures, Lin Yu walked into the third floor without stopping.
"Childe inside please. As soon as he stepped into the third floor, a figure came to Lin Yu and showed him the way.
On the third floor, there is a deep corridor extending out, and on both sides are rooms with closed doors and windows, which seems very quiet and mysterious.
Lin Yu followed the guide, and as he walked forward, he used his soul perception to probe the situation in the room.
"Childe doesn't have to work in vain, in order to protect the privacy of customers, my Mingyue Pavilion has a ban in every room to prevent others from peeping. The person leading the way in front of him didn't look back, and reminded while continuing to lead the way.
was debunked, Lin Yu's face remained unchanged, and he silently withdrew his soul perception that was released, and followed the footsteps of the person in front of him without saying a word.
After a few bends and a door, the person who led the way stopped, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door open, then turned to Lin Yu and made a gesture of entering the door lightly, and said respectfully: "Childe, please inside, what you want will be in it soon." ”
"Thank you. Arching his hand to the person who led the way, Lin Yu passed by and walked in.
Crunch.
As soon as the body entered the door, the door was suddenly closed, which surprised Lin Yu.
"Don't panic, please come over and talk about it. A somewhat old voice sounded, comforting Lin Yu.
No other changes happened, Lin Yu also calmed down and walked in the direction from which the voice came.
The room was not very big, and there was a tall screen in the middle, facing the door, blocking Lin Yu's vision, making it impossible for him to see the situation inside for the first time, and the sound came from behind the screen.
"Sure enough, it is secret, there is the delicacy of resisting the divine thoughts, even if someone breaks in by mistake, there is also a screen to resist, and it will not expose the people in the room, this Mingyue Pavilion is really leaky. With a secret praise, Lin Yu stepped forward quickly and walked behind the screen.
Behind the screen, there was a fine table and chairs, and behind it sat a lean old man, holding a cup of tea. Behind the old man, there was a wooden bookshelf.
On the wall on the other side of the bookshelf, there is an ancient painting, in the endless sea water, in the deep night sky, there is only a bright moon rising, in addition, there is no star, it is a magnificent picture of the moon on the sea.
"Little friend, please. After Lin Yu finished looking at the room, the old man put down the teacup in his hand, stretched out his fingers, and motioned for Lin Yu to sit down opposite.
After taking a deep look at the silver moon, Lin Yu sat down opposite the old man.
Reaching out and taking out a small cup of beautiful jade, the old man poured a full cup for Lin Yu, and added it to his own cup, before he asked with a smile: "I wonder what news Xiaoyou wants to know?"
Tea flows, and a fresh fragrance permeates the room.
"News of a fourth-order spirit grass. Looking at the tea in the white jade porcelain cup in front of him, Lin Yu didn't reach out and taste it.
Seeing that Lin Yu didn't touch the tea, the old man was not surprised, and took another sip to himself, before slowly asking: "Fourth-order spirit grass, it seems that it should be a rare thing, except for a few, I have news in Mingyue Pavilion, I don't know which one Xiaoyou wants to ask?"
Lin Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, shook it between his nose, smelled the fragrance of tea, and did not say his name, but described its characteristics: inch-tall grass, two leaves, one red and one white, and its fragrance is like plum. ”
didn't directly say the name of the spirit grass, Lin Yu was to test the strength of the Bright Moon Pavilion, and the other was to leave a way back for himself.
"One red and one white, two leaves, with plum fragrance, is still a fourth-order spirit grass. Hearing Lin Yu's introduction, the old man looked pensive and whispered about these characteristics.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lin Yu sat quietly in his position, not disturbing the old man's thoughts.
After a little silence, the old man suddenly stood up, walked to the bookshelf behind him, opened several boxes in a row, and then took out a jade tube, looked at it carefully for a while, and then turned around and asked, "Could it be the Continuation Spirit Grass?"
Taking a deep look at the jade tube in the old man's hand, Lin Yu nodded, and said with some excitement: "It's the Continuation Spirit Grass, I don't know if there is any news in your pavilion?"
The old man flipped through the jade tube before saying the name, which was enough to show that Mingyue Pavilion had a relevant record of the Continuation Spirit Grass.
Perhaps the jade cylinder in the old man's hand is the jade cylinder that records the news of the continuation of the spirit grass, or it may be just an illustrated book of elixirs, which specifically includes the names of elixirs.
"Wait a minute. The old man put the jade tube back in his hand, then took out a roll of paper, wrote a few words, put it into the box in the center of the wooden frame, and then sat back in his position slowly.
"The information you need has already been checked, Xiaoyou wait a while. The old man took a sip of the teacup and asked casually, "I don't know why you need this spirit herb for you?"
Hearing the old man's question, Lin Yu's heart was shocked, but his face was as pale as ever, and he said without missing the slightest: "I am entrusted by someone to help people find it, what is the Continuation Spirit Grass?
In a strange place, he is alone outside, so naturally he will not reveal his details at will.
"The Soul Breaking Technique is an evil art, and this Spirit Continuation Grass is the elixir to crack this technique. Seeing that Lin Yu didn't seem to be lying, a trace of regret flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he quickly covered it up.
"I see, thank you seniors for your doubts. Although Lin Yu saw the regret in the old man's eyes, he didn't ask, politely thanked him, and stopped the topic.
"I don't know who the person entrusted to Xiaoyou? Can you introduce me?" After a moment of silence, the old man didn't want to give up, and inquired again: "Of course, after the matter is completed, our Mingyue Pavilion will definitely thank Xiaoyou generously, 100,000 taels of silver, how about it?"
"To be honest, I don't know who wants to renew the spirit grass, or even what the spirit grass is. Lin Yu pretended to be confused, and said with a wry smile: "Two days ago, I met a white-haired old man, he took me down, forced me to take the poison, and then gave me a task, let me come to Mingyue Pavilion to find out the news of this spirit grass, and then go and get the spirit grass back." ”
Seeing that the old man didn't believe it, Lin Yu continued: "He only told me about the previous characteristics, and didn't tell me what it was, if it wasn't for the seniors who said the name, I wouldn't know what it was." ”
"In that case, the old decay is not forced. Frowning and recalling the situation after Lin Yu came in, the old man nodded and believed Lin Yu's words.
Click!
The wooden frame behind the old man trembled, and a wooden box suddenly opened.
"The news that Xiaoyou needs is here. The old man chuckled, got up and took out a roll of paper from the wooden box, flipped through it for a while, and then put it down, and took out three rolls of jade from the wooden box again.
"I don't know if there is any news from your pavilion?" Before the old man could sit down, Lin Yu couldn't wait to ask.
Regarding the issue of his own cultivation, Lin Yu was also difficult to calm down at the moment, and his eagerness seemed to be facing the danger of life and death.
And under the appearance of this accidental appearance, the last trace of doubt of the old man disappeared.
"Don't worry, even if there is no news, you can pay for the antidote, don't worry too much. The old man comforted softly, and then continued: "However, Xiaoyou is lucky, two years ago, someone happened to see this grass, but he didn't know it, out of curiosity, he came to Mingyue Pavilion to inquire, so we still have a record here."
"Although there is a record, but the price..."The old man said this, slowly picked up the teacup in his hand, and deliberately paused.
"The price is easy to say, it's a matter of life and death, so I naturally won't be stingy. However, my predecessors also know that I am a boy with low cultivation, and I don't have much money except for the money given to me by the white-haired old man. Lin Yu naturally understood the meaning of the old man's deliberate pause, so he patted his chest to show that he didn't care about the price, but at the same time pointed out that he was not wronged.
"Haha! I, Mingyue Pavilion Tongsuo, have no deception, and I have been doing business for a long time, so naturally I will not ask for a price. The old man put down the teacup in embarrassment, coughed lightly, stretched out his dry hand, and pointed to the jade tube on the table.
"The first volume on the left is the map you need, very detailed, and costs five thousand taels of silver. The middle volume is the Continuation Spirit Grass, and the time when the place appears is 50,000 taels of silver. The old man slowly introduced from the far left.
"Fifty thousand taels?" the corners of Lin Yu's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
Before, he made a fortune for the person who discovered the continuation of the spirit grass, and now he resold the news, and it was 50,000 taels of silver into the account.
"Ahem, I can't change what the person above commanded, but if you are willing to take us to meet the person who entrusted you, we can give you this news for free, and the 100,000 taels of thank-you gift will remain unchanged, how about it?" The old man's face turned red, and he hurriedly picked up the teacup to hide his embarrassment.
"Forget it, I still want to live a few more years, but after I find the Spirit Continuation Grass, I can take you to meet him, but I have to wait until I get the antidote back first. Lin Yu shook his head and replied without leaking.
"Okay, Xiaoyou is refreshing, we have another news for this, also in the Qiulin Mountains, about the news of a ruin, I wonder if Xiaoyou is interested?" the old man nodded, pointing to the last roll of jade and said.
"Oh, what ruins?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
"What it is, I don't know, it's just found when sorting out the news related to the spirit grass, according to the inference of my pavilion power, this relic will be born in the near future, there are countless treasures in it, there are many elixirs, the specific news is in this jade tube, 50,000 silver taels, you take it?" The old man flickered, and did not say anything substantial.
"You are going to blackmail me for 100,000 taels of silver with such two broken jade tubes?" Lin Yu leaned back on the chair lazily and looked at the old man with a smile.
"Ahem, in this way, I will add one more thing, a total of 100,000 taels, how about it?" The old man's wrinkled face shook, and he embarrassedly took out a finger-long wooden short sword from his sleeve and placed it next to the jade cylinder.
