Chapter 8 The Treasure of the Blue Lotus
When Hong Jun carefully observed the bronze mirror, the old man surnamed Lin kept introducing this mirror, almost blowing it into the sky, as if it was a loss to sell it to Hong Jun.
Hong Jun was unmoved, thinking that this is a treasure, but you don't recognize it, otherwise you wouldn't have put it out. It is estimated that even the name Qinglian Baojian was taken casually to fool the guests.
"This mirror is good, but unfortunately it was broken. Hong Jun casually put the bronze mirror back on the shelf and said with a smile.
The old man surnamed Lin was choked all of a sudden, when he was young, he bought a bankrupt pawnshop, and this bronze mirror was among them, because the image was good, simple and elegant, so he took an elegant name called "Qinglian Baojian" according to the shape of the mirror, and put it out to sell it for a few taels of silver.
However, he traveled north and south for decades, and occasionally met a few guests who were interested in this bronze mirror, but because of the cracks on the mirror, he has not taken off his hand so far, and then gradually no one cares.
If Hong Jun hadn't called out its name today, the old man would have almost forgotten the existence of this bronze mirror.
Seeing Hong Jun's lack of interest, the old man stopped boasting about the mirror, followed Hong Jun's side, and casually introduced the source of some things.
Listening for a moment, Hong Jun couldn't help but admire the old man's extensive knowledge. The old man is a traveling merchant who has no fixed foothold, and has traveled between the Great Wilderness and multiple Terran dynasties all his life, specializing in buying some strange things, and sometimes buying a few really valuable things, and selling them is a big business.
Of course, most of the collected things are worthless and end up in your hands and become money-losing goods.
After walking around casually, Hong Jun stopped in front of the shelf and asked, "Shopkeeper Lin, how do you sell these books?"
Books represent knowledge, Hong Jun now needs a lot of knowledge to understand the world, although the Lieshan tribe has writing, but they have not gone out in the wilderness all the year round, and the civilization of the human race is still much behind. And judging from the titles, most of these books are miscellaneous books such as travelogues, but they are exactly what they need at the moment.
The old man surnamed Lin was a little strange that a child of the Lieshan clan would be interested in Terran books, but he was relieved to think that Hong Jun could speak the Terran language and recognize words. These books can be seen everywhere in the Terran Dynasty, and they are not valuable, in line with the principle of how much can be earned, the old man opened his mouth and replied: "In exchange for leather goods, I will give you three books for a good leather goods." ”
"Shopkeeper Lin, don't fool me!"
Hong Jun's expression was cold, the other party obviously slaughtered himself as a fat sheep, and said dissatisfiedly: "I want more than 20 books, according to your price, I want to exchange seven or eight leather goods, isn't it too unkind?"
The old man surnamed Lin did not have a little shame on his face at all, and said confidently: "These books are all treasures that I have worked hard to collect, and they have been transported all the way to the Great Wilderness, and there is no merit and hard work, and it is natural to sell them more expensively." ”
Hong Jun sneered and said, "It's just a printed matter, the cost is extremely low, and it must be issued in large quantities in Dachu, what kind of treasure is it?"
"It turns out that Xiaoyou is actually knowledgeable. Being pierced through the cowhide, the old shopkeeper Lin blushed, immediately returned to his normal color, groaned, and said, "Okay, take three leather goods, and these books will all belong to you." ”
"I can't take out the leather goods," Hong Jun said, seeing that the old man's face changed slightly, he took out a piece of gold from his arms without waiting for him to speak, and said with a smile: "How about exchanging this?"
"Good!" Shopkeeper Lin was overjoyed, of course gold is better than leather goods, he took leather goods to Dachu to exchange them for silver, and it is difficult to carry leather goods, so gold is much easier. didn't expect Hong Jun to be able to take out the gold, and he suddenly became a little more enthusiastic: "Xiaoyou can take as many books as you want." ”
Hong Jun picked out more than 20 books he wanted, folded them into a stack, and handed the gold to the old man, who hurriedly took it, put it to his mouth and bit it hard, almost broke his teeth, but his face bloomed with joy, this piece of gold can withstand his business for two or three years.
"Shopkeeper, these books aren't worth a piece of gold, shouldn't you get some of them back?" asked Hong Jun with a smile.
"This ......" the old man was reluctant to look at the gold nuggets in his hand, but when he got to the gold in his hand, he had a pain in his face, hesitated for a while, and then had an idea, put on a smile and said: "Xiaoyou, you see that this gold is not easy to find, why don't you pick some more things and take them, how about taking care of the little old man's business?"
"It's not big, is it? You're useless. ”
Hong Jun's face looked a little reluctant, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he deliberately did not take out the silver of lower value, but showed the largest piece of gold, just to wait for the old man's words. If you directly point out a few things to buy, you will definitely be suspicious, and now the other party offers to let him pick something else, it will be different.
"Who said it's useless!" The old man hurriedly swore and said: "I may have a few treasures in these strange things, but I and other ordinary people have no eyes, with the bearing of a little friend, what if I bump into great luck?"
"Okay, then I'll just take a few pieces. Hong Jun pretended to be a little reluctant and reluctantly agreed.
Walking in front of a circle of shelves, Hong Jun casually selected, he took seven or eight things as if he was casually handed, including the stone containing extremely high energy, the lilac rhizome and the bronze mirror.
Shopkeeper Lin saw that Hong Jun had taken the bronze mirror, and he didn't react at all, this kind of thing that couldn't be taken off for decades, there were still a lot of things in his inventory, and it was not worth nostalgia at all.
Holding a bunch of things in his arms, Hong Jun asked Shopkeeper Lin for a piece of cloth to wrap it up and give it to his younger brother Lieshan Feng to carry.
"Shopkeeper Lin, take your leave. ”
"Little friend walks slowly. The old man surnamed Lin personally sent Brother Hong Jun out of the tent, and the guard had been guarding outside, seeing that Hong Jun had bought a lot of things, but he didn't say anything. When the three of them gradually walked away, and the figure disappeared into the darkness, the old man surnamed Lin grabbed the gold nugget in his hand and excitedly spit out a sentence: "Make a lot of money!"
"Earn big!"
Hong Jun returned home and entered his room, looked at the three things on the table, and said the same sentence.
First of all, I picked up the gray-black stone, which was heavier than I imagined, denser than metal, and felt cold to the touch, and pinched it hard, the hardness was very high, and it should be a naturally formed mineral.
Hong Jun looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything famous. Although he could sense that this stone contained extremely high energy, he had no idea what to do or how to use it.
In fact, since Hong Jun arrived in this world, the definition of energy has not been very clear, and it is completely different from the energy of his previous life.
Logically speaking, everything contains energy, but the size is different, but the energy in Hong Jun's eyes now is not like this, only a very small number of things have energy, and all of them are related to cultivation, such as the fire god ointment. From his father, Lieshan Ash, Hong Jun also felt an extremely high energy response.
All the clansmen in the Shaoyan Department who have cultivated the Great Desolation Burning Body Sutra all have energy reactions on their bodies, and the stronger the reaction, the stronger the strength. There are also my mother and uncle, who practice the inner strength of the heart method, and also have a high energy response.
"Could it be that cultivation is to absorb these energies and strengthen oneself?" Hong Jun had already had this suspicion, and he was quite sure, but his current means were extremely limited and he could not carry out research.
"Now the question is, how can we absorb the energy contained in this stone?"
Hong Jun frowned, he didn't come up with a good solution, and he didn't dare to break it violently, because the energy in the stone was stored in a very peculiar and stable structure, and if it was destroyed, it might turn into a powerful bomb. Moreover, the energy of this stone has been radiating outward, and with each breath, its energy will decrease a little, but at an extremely slow speed, and it will probably take hundreds of years for it to be fully released.
Putting the stone aside, Hong Jun picked up the whip-like rhizome, shook it, and found that the rhizome was very tough and full of water, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive.
"Let's try planting it when we have time later. ”
Hong Jun is not very interested in rhizomes, and if it weren't for its large energy response, he wouldn't look down on it.
In the end, he picked up the bronze mirror, let's call it the Qinglian Baojian, in Hong Jun's heart, in fact, the most important thing is this bronze mirror, because it is fundamentally different from the gray and black stones and rhizomes, it is obviously an artificial creation!
The existence of this octagonal bronze mirror unmistakably tells Hong Jun that there are people in this world who can make things that contain energy, and the production level is very high, which is completely different from the mechanical products of the previous life, and it is another unprecedentedly developed civilization!
Hong Jun was very sure that this bronze mirror had other uses and was related to cultivation, but he didn't find a way to use it.
But after studying for half a night, there was no result, and Hong Jun even smashed it with a hammer, and the bronze mirror was unscathed, leaving no traces. Helpless, Hong Jun thought helplessly: "Maybe because this mirror has been damaged, so I can't find the real function." ”
"That's it, I'll study it tomorrow, and go to bed first. He casually threw the bronze mirror on the table and piled it up with stones and rhizomes, and Hong Jun ignored it and fell asleep.
