Chapter Twenty-Three: A Pair of Strange Ores

The stall owner was an old man with a gray beard, hunched in front of the stall and motionless. Covered with a gray-black gown, the whole person seemed to be settled, neither shouting, nor soliciting customers, and did not seem to be in a hurry to sell goods, compared with the lively stalls around, the old man's stall was rarely patronized.

Zhang Xiaosheng was also out of curiosity, how could the old man sell the goods with this attitude, squatted down, and looked at the goods on the old man's stall.

On a gray-black leather, there were various strange stones. Although the stones are of different shapes and sizes, they have one thing in common, that is, they are all gray and black in color, without a trace of luster, no wonder no one cares, that is, no matter how interested people are, when they see these gray dead things, they will also lack interest.

"Uncle, what are you buying here?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked.

The old man didn't answer, he just lay there motionless, and he didn't know if he was asleep, or he didn't bother to take care of Zhang Xiaosheng.

Just when Zhang Xiaosheng was about to open his mouth to ask again, a rough voice came from behind him: "Elder Li, have you brought the bus marble I want?"

Zhang Xiaosheng turned his head to look and saw a big man eight feet tall, striding from a distance, and the sound of whirring wind could be heard in the distance. In the blink of an eye, he came to the stall, the tall figure completely blocked the sun, and suddenly Zhang Xiaosheng was completely in the shadows.

Zhang Xiaosheng looked up at the big man, he looked really strong, his two arms were the thickness of buckets, and the muscles of his whole body were coiled, looking quite hideous, and the whole humanoid bull was a brute.

At this time, the old man also seemed to feel the change in the surrounding sunlight, raised his head slightly, and two dim eyes shot out, and glanced around. When he saw the big man, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the two gray and black stones on the stall in front of him, and he stopped moving.

"Alas, this thing is good, but it's a little troublesome!"

The big man complained a little, but his movements did not slow down in the slightest, and he quickly put away the two pieces of ore, and then took out a gold ingot from his bosom and threw it to the old man.

After doing all this, the big man looked at Zhang Xiaosheng who was squatting in front of the stall, and said with a smile: "This little brother is also interested in these ores?

After speaking, the big man laughed heartily twice, slapped Zhang Xiaosheng twice with his hand, turned around and strode away, and a voice hurriedly floated in: "Brother, I'll leave first if I have something, little brother pick it slowly! Don't look at Li Lao's listless appearance now,......

"Big guy, the strength is really not small! But don't say half a word, what's wrong" Zhang Xiaosheng didn't hear what the big man said behind him, and rubbed his shoulder, which was a little numb, if Zhang Xiaosheng wasn't a very human being, how could he withstand such two blows.

"Listening to the big man, these seem to be some ores with special functions. ”

Zhang Xiaosheng also stretched out his hand to look at the ores on the stall, each piece of ore seemed to be quite heavy, cold to the hand, fine texture, really not ordinary.

Zhang Xiaosheng put down the ore in his hand, and picked up two pieces of ore the size of an egg in the upper left corner, which seemed to be a pair. On the surface, this pair of ores looks the same as other ores, gray and gray, but when Zhang Xiaosheng picked it up, he felt that the dantian was moving, and there seemed to be a feeling of hunger.

What's going on? What happened to the dantian?

Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly put down the ore in his hand and put his hands on the dantian, wanting to find out what was going on. The dantian still couldn't perceive it, but now it seemed to be calm again, and there was no trace of peculiar feeling.

Just as Zhang Xiaosheng picked up the pair of ores again, the feeling of hunger came again.

"Could it be because of this pair of ores?" Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly put it down, and sure enough, the dantian calmed down again.

After repeating it several times, Zhang Xiaosheng finally confirmed that the abnormal appearance of the dantian was caused by these two stones.

"Will the others also have this reaction?" Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but come up with such an idea, and tried the ores on the stall one by one, but there was no ore that could give Zhang Xiaosheng such a strange feeling.

It seems that this pair of ores is indeed different from others, although I don't know what kind of ore it is, but instinctively tells Zhang Xiaosheng that he wants this stone.

"Uncle, how do you sell this pair of ore!" Zhang Xiaosheng said loudly to the old man as he looked like a big man.

"Alright, don't scream, it's all that hateful bull fierce! Old man, I'm not deaf yet!" the old man finally moved. He looked Zhang Xiaosheng up and down with a dim gaze and said, "What, the little brother is interested in this pair of ores?"

It seems that the old man also knows that ordinary people will not be interested in his goods, and it is useless to take care of it, so it is better to only pay attention to the person who wants to buy. Zhang Xiaosheng thought to himself, it seems that the old man is also a person who has been in the market for many years.

The old man didn't seem to be in a hurry to sell, and said: "I see that the little brother has gorgeous clothes, presumably because everyone was born as a son, and he must not need this thing, how can he be interested in this thing?"

"It's such an old man, I've always wanted to build a magic weapon to be around, but I haven't been able to find the right materials, and I haven't been able to do so. I think this pair of ores is very peculiar, I think it may be able to be used, can you bother the old man to explain?" Of course, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't say it clearly, and lied.

"The old man has to say, the little brother's vision is really ruthless, this is a very rare manganese stone, from which you can extract a metal called heavy manganese, as long as you add a little bit to the weapon, any blade will become extremely sharp, sharpen iron like mud ......" The old man gushed about the strangeness of this pair of ores.

"Is it really? Is it so mysterious? This old man won't treat me as a fat sheep, he wants to slaughter a good sum of money!" Zhang Xiaosheng looked at the drooling old man, secretly vigilant.

Zhang Xiaosheng deliberately put on a very excited look and said, "Uncle, I want it, I don't know how much?"

"Look at the first time the little brother patronizes my father-in-law's place, I will give you a preferential price, one hundred taels of gold, how, cheap!"

"Sure enough, the prototype is revealed, wait for me to play tricks on him. These days, pretending to be the young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Xiaosheng found that he still has a lot of acting talent.

With a pluice in his face, Zhang Xiaosheng said: "Uncle, I think this is only worth ten taels of gold, and the big man just now only paid five taels of gold, and the ore he took is much more than mine!"

"Then it can be compared by size, this is much more precious than those two pieces!" the old man hurriedly said, he didn't expect that this young master was not stupid.

Seeing Zhang Xiaosheng, he wanted to leave, and said: "Otherwise, I still have a soul-chasing fan made of deep-sea sinking iron here, and I will count you a hundred taels together." ”

As if he was playing a trick, he took out another fan from his arms, which looked simple and ancient, and looked very good.

Zhang Xiaosheng didn't look back, and continued to leave, even if he added a fan, he had to continue to press the price.

"Okay, Childe, I'll give you a return price, how about fifty taels, it really can't be cheaper!"

It was half cheaper, and it really treated me as a fat sheep.

Zhang Xiaosheng turned his head and looked at the fan: the fan surface was made of good silk, but the fan bone was made of heavy iron, which was cold and heavy, but I didn't know if it was really deep-sea iron. The fan bone seems to be hollow, and there should be a hidden weapon such as a flying needle hidden in it, if it is suddenly released during the fight, it will definitely give the opponent a surprise to prevent flying, no wonder it is called the soul chasing fan, Zhang Xiaosheng liked it at first sight.

The two bargained for a long time, and finally reached a deal, and the old man sold the two things to Zhang Xiaosheng at the price of thirty taels of gold.

The old man handed over the items to Zhang Xiaosheng, and kept complaining, this trip was a big loss!

Now that the deal has been decided, Zhang Xiaosheng is eager to go back and study the new things. looked at the second daughter who was still interested, and smiled helplessly, according to this situation, it will definitely not be over for a while, it seems that only he will go back first.

After saying hello to the two, leaving Steward Zhang to protect them, Zhang Xiaosheng hurriedly walked towards the inn.
