Chapter 20: Eight Hundred Gold

The sky was slightly bright, and a ray of morning sun shone on the sword edge of the ingot, shining with a faint and strange brilliance. Yuan Bao looked at the spirit beast Shenlong that loomed as if it was a living thing, his heart moved, and he said to himself: "Generally, fairy swords have names, this sword is a rare divine weapon, and it must also have a name. ”

With a wave of his hand, a sword aura suddenly came out, and an old tree more than ten zhang in the distance shattered, powerful and powerful.

The big yellow dog who was sleeping was a spirit, jumped up violently, and before he opened his eyes, he made a gurgling sound, and then fell on the burned bonfire, and there were still some wood sparks in the ashes, and suddenly the big yellow dog screamed again and again, and spun on the ground.

Yuan Bao put away the dragon sword, smiled, and said: "Since you have given the sword a name, I will also give you one, seeing that your body is as huge as a calf, and the hair on your whole body is yellow, I will call you rhubarb in the future." ”

Rhubarb stopped moving, turned his head to look at Yuanbao, with a look of disdain, as if he was very dissatisfied with the name that Yuanbao gave him, and screamed.

Two days have passed, the old man of Tianchi and the people of Qingsong Dao have not returned, and the ingots are not waiting, I am afraid that this rhubarb is also picked up by the old man of Tianchi recently, so if you lose it, you will lose it.

He got up and said, "Rhubarb, I'm leaving, it's been two days, Tianchi seniors haven't come back yet, I still have important things to do, are you waiting here, or come with me?"

Rhubarb seemed to think about it, and screamed a few more times, but Yuan Bao didn't know what its answer was, so he could only say helplessly: "If you want to go with me, follow me." ”

After saying that, he stepped on the morning dew and walked along the woods to the north.

Rhubarb turned around a few times, and suddenly saw a leftover bone from last night on the ground, stuck out his tongue, and followed with a fart.

Phoenix Mountain, Luohan Temple.

Master Li, who had recovered from his injuries, walked towards the outside of the temple with the Qingying Sword behind him, followed by the handsome purple-clothed young man and more than a dozen young disciples of the Shushan Sect.

It turned out that after leaving Pinghu that day, they went to Tianshui City to meet a large number of disciples of the Shushan faction, and went to the Luohan Temple to rest under the guidance of the empty phase.

That night, Qingsong Daoren said that he went out to check if there were any clues about the mysterious force, but there was no news for two days, and he couldn't even find his location even if he sent a message.

As early as last night, more than ten elders of the Shushan faction took the Luohan Temple as the center and led the disciples to search around, but there was no trace of the Qingsong Daoist.

Early this morning, they couldn't wait any longer, so they divided into dozens of roads and left the Luohan Temple, one to track down the location of the mysterious power, and the other to find out the whereabouts of the Qingsong Dao people.

Senior Master Li and the others went down the mountain, and the white and chubby empty phase came running from behind, shouting, "Senior Sister Li, Senior Brother Zhu, you wait for me!"

Senior Master Li and the others stopped, and the purple-clothed young man said, "Senior Brother Void Phase, who are you?"

The empty phase scratched his head and said: "Senior Brother Zhu, I heard that you are traveling to the north this way, and it just so happens that I am also going back to the temple to restore my life, and I will go all the way, so everyone can take care of it." ”

The purple-clothed young man surnamed Zhu was not easy to refuse, after all, the empty phase was an outstanding disciple of the Bodhi Temple's mind and monk, and he was afraid that he would have to be in charge of the Buddhist sect in a few decades, walk with him, deepen his feelings, and have many benefits to himself in the future, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, let's go all the way, there is a senior brother in the empty phase to take care of it all the way, and those demons and spirits will never approach." ”

The empty phase said modestly: "Senior Brother Zhu has won the award." As he spoke, he glanced at Master Li next to him, but saw that this beautiful woman frowned slightly, as if she was displeased, his face turned pale and he stuck out his tongue.

There were no elders accompanying them along the way, with Master Li, Zhu Changqing, and Void Phase being the highest, and the other twelve male and female disciples of the Shushan Sect were only in the realm of out-of-body and divine thoughts.

On this day, Kunlun, Bodhi Temple, Xuanbing Palace, Wuxingmen, Huangshan School, Huashan School and other nearly 100 large and small sects have received a message from the head of Shushan, Yuxuzi, explaining the original situation.

The ancient road is desolate, and the white clouds are dogs.

Under the fierce voice, a man and a dog walked slowly on the ancient road in the wilderness. The surroundings were desolate, and there were no people, and this man and dog walked for a few hours, and they did not find a single family to excuse the water.

In the sky, dozens of huge white cranes suddenly appeared from the southwest direction. Rhubarb stood on the ground, holding his head up and screaming.

Yuan Bao took a look and saw that those big white cranes were the snow cranes abundant in the Kunlun Snow Mountain in the Western Regions, and they were huge enough to support a few people.

"It turned out to be the disciples of the Kunlun faction, and they also appeared?" Yuan Bao was secretly frightened, over the years, Kunlun, as the leader of the righteous path, rarely dispatched disciples on a large scale, and at this moment, dozens of snow cranes appeared in the sky at once, I am afraid that it has something to do with the mysterious force in the world recently.

The snow crane flew away, the rhubarb was still barking wildly, Yuan Bao kicked it, and said angrily: "What is it called, it is also a demon, you look at the snow crane, fly to the sky and travel thousands of miles, you look at you again, what other skills do you have besides gluttony?"

Rhubarb was furious, turned his head and barked at Yuan Bao again, Yuan Bao snorted: "You didn't yell at me, tell me honestly, did you steal my monkey wine again last night?"

Rhubarb suddenly stopped screaming, seemed to be a little weak-hearted, turned his head and swaggered on.

Yuan Bao shouted from behind: "Don't go, make it clear......"

Rhubarb suddenly ran away, the ingots were atmospheric, chasing after him, shouting: "Absconding in fear of crime, you are a typical absconding in fear of crime......

After a few days, Yuan Bao took the rhubarb to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Qinchuan, and the magnificent Yangtze River rushed from the Kunlun Snow Mountain in the southwest, crossed the Bashu dangerous land, and went straight to the vast sea thousands of miles away.

The Yangtze River, also known as the Yangtze River, coexists with the Yellow River in the north, and for countless years, I don't know how many mortals have been raised.

Qinchuan Ancient Town, since the pre-Qin period has been extremely prosperous, to this day, it is already a big city in Shu, because relying on the Yangtze River natural insurance, here to and from a lot of business travel, there has been a Ming army sailor stationed here all the year round.

Yuanbao and rhubarb can still survive in the wilderness, but when they arrive in the mortal city, this person and dog suddenly feel the heat and coldness of the world.

Zhuge Kong Fang was originally a poor bastard, he was addicted to alcohol, and he used the reincarnation sword of the ancient gods as a hundred taels of silver, and he saved more than a hundred taels of silver for most of his life, and then he was brought out by all the ingots, spending thirty taels, and the rest were handed over to those officials in Tianshui City, and the coffins were purchased for those dead people in Huichun Hall. Now he is penniless, with a breeze on his sleeves.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he respected the eight strands and emphasized literature over military force. The world's scholars are glorious ancestors, high school champions, have studied the way of Confucianism, and a large number of well-educated people have emerged.

Today, in a peaceful and prosperous era, young people can read and hyphenate, and the way of elegance has spread from the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River to the southwest of Bashu.

Qinchuan City, on the street. All the young people are dressed in Confucian robes, wearing brims on their heads, holding folding fans, and the conditional sons are still pinning jade around their waists.

Yuanbao's clothes are still the clothes of the little maid who were changed after taking a bath in the rejuvenation hall of Tianshui City, these people are sleeping in the wilderness, they have long been dilapidated, and they are out of place when they walk on the streets of this bustling Qinchuan City. Especially the yellow dog that is still following a boss by his side, which has attracted countless people.

Rhubarb may rarely see so many people, quite excited, shuttling back and forth, many people see that this big dog is huge, for fear of hurting people, they have to dodge.

"Rhubarb, don't make trouble!" Yuan Bao saw that Rhubarb was scared and cried the third child, so he could only stop drinking.

Rhubarb was obedient and obediently returned to his side.

The surrounding streets are lined with shops, and all kinds of goods on the stalls are even more dazzling, Yuan Bao touched the empty money belt, sighed helplessly, and said: "It's better to be a rich man, hey, Master, Master, your old man is a hero of the past and the present, why didn't you leave thousands of family wealth for me to squander? What should I do with dinner and accommodation today......

He took Rhubarb to the door of a pawn shop, trumpeting a treasure bag with a lot of miscellaneous things, and rummaged through it for a long time before he found a plaything that looked a little valuable.

"This is the agarwood I accidentally got in Southwest Razor four years ago, although it is only the size of a palm, it should be worth some money, as the saying goes, one or two agarwood, ten taels of gold. ”

He turned his head to Da Huang and said: "You stay here honestly, I'll go in and exchange for silver, with silver, you can drink wine and eat meat to have a good time, don't run around!"

Rhubarb screamed twice in a low voice, and really bent his hind legs and squatted on the ground.

Yuan Bao smiled bitterly, it seems that this meat and bones and wine are indispensable for the temptation of rhubarb.

This Ruifeng pawnshop is on the most prosperous main street in Qinchuan City, the scale is quite large, and Yuan Bao walked in with a piece of agarwood that was only the size of a palm.

The pawn's palm was a middle-aged fat man of about fifty, dressed in a gorgeous satin garment, and his hat was inlaid with a jade hat flower the size of a quail egg.

The so-called palm eye is unique to the pawn antique industry, and it is not in charge. But all antiques, there are real and false, this depends on the erudite people to distinguish, play is the eyesight, these people are called palm eyes, generally are masters and apprentices, antiques pawn palm eyes, can distinguish the pre-Qin antiquities are also called big palm eyes.

Seeing an unkempt and ragged young man walk in, his eyelids raised, and he said, "What is this objective thing to pawn?"

Yuan Bao glanced around, saw that the decoration here is simple, and there are a lot of expired antique calligraphy and paintings behind the counter, so he was very envious in his heart, and walked forward and said: "The shopkeeper, the younger brother has been short of money recently, so he can only bet the family heirloom on your account for some silver." ”

After speaking, he handed over the agarwood in his hand and said, "You give the palm of your hand." ”

The palm eye didn't care at first, but this master can sit on the palm eye throne of the Ruifeng, his eyesight is naturally extraordinary, and he carefully looked at the piece of dead wood that was not black or yellow, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly put it in front of his nose and sniffed, and only after a while was he stunned: "Childe, what are you doing...... Agarwood?"

As soon as Yuan Bao saw the expression of this palm, he knew that this thing must be worth a lot of money. He has been learning art with the old and unserious Zhuge Kong Fang since he was a child, and he has long learned to observe words and feelings, and suddenly said: "The good eyesight of the shopkeeper, this Kunlun Shenmu 10,000-year-old agarwood was handed down by my ancestors when they were big officials, and now the family is in the middle of the road, and it can only be pawned." ”

The palm smiled and said: "Don't fool me, childe, although this is a rare agarwood, it can be said that Kunlun Shenmu Wannian agarwood is fake, our Ruifeng is a century-old brand, Tong Su is not bullied, this price is ......"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured to a six.

Yuan Bao thought it was six taels of silver, and suddenly his face turned bitter, and he said in his heart: "Six taels is six taels, anyway, it is a piece of rotten wood, and if it can be exchanged for six taels of silver, it is enough for me to live for ten days and a half months." ”

But just when he was about to agree, his eyes rolled and he said secretly: "I'll add three or two more to see if he gives it." Then he stretched out his right hand and made a nine.

"This number!"

The fat man's eyes widened, his lips bitten, and he gestured to an eight, and said, "I can only count this one! ”

Yuan Bao saw that the fat shopkeeper added two taels, and he was overjoyed, and nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

The fat man pulled the bell with his palm, and a young man in Tsing Yi came out of the back hall, he whispered twice, and then said to Yuanbao: "This son, you drink a cup of tea first and wait, the guy goes to the back hall to write bills, and it will be fine for a while." Would you rather have cash or a silver ticket?"

Yuan Bao was very dissatisfied, and asked for cash or silver tickets for only eight taels of silver, and waved his hand and said, "Cash!"

The palm was stunned for a moment, and he said for a while: "Okay son, you later!"

Yuan Bao sat on the chair next to him very stylishly, a guy brought a cup of tea, he had been in Songheguan on a Miki Taoist dang, almost sent his surname, this time he didn't dare to be careless, to make sure that this cup of tea is not poisonous before drinking.

After a while, the fat shopkeeper commanded two or two guys, carrying a large wooden box to the ingots and putting them down, but the ingots didn't care and continued to taste tea.

But the fat man's palm eyes smiled and said, "Childe, your gold is ready." ”

After speaking, he opened the rosewood box, and there were layers of gold ingots neatly placed inside, each of which was weighed by ten or two legs, and it was also engraved with the fire seal of Shen Wansan Qian Zhuang of the Ming Dynasty.

Where has Yuan Bao seen so much money, and it is still a golden gold ingot, he suddenly looked straight, and his saliva couldn't help but flow.

The fat man smiled with his palms in his eyes and said, "A total of eight hundred taels of gold, you can order it." ”

"Eight...... Eight hundred taels of gold?" Yuan Bao was dumbfounded, and said in amazement: "Is there a mistake!"

"Make no mistake, it is indeed eight hundred taels of gold, our Ruifeng is a century-old ......"

"Get rich!" Before the fat man could finish speaking, he pounced, picked up two gold ingots and put them in his mouth to bite.

In fact, how did he know how valuable agarwood is in the world, known as the first incense in the world, and ambergris. It is the resin secreted by special plants in ancient times, which has been accumulated over the years for many years, and only the bottom of the East China Sea and the southwest of the world can find some, as long as a little resin powder is burned, it can make a radius of three or four miles diffuse with a strange fragrance, and it will not be dispersed, even if it is the noble concubine of the royal inner courtyard is also a luxury.

Although the agarwood is only the size of a palm, it is worth a fortune, and eight hundred taels of gold is still a small amount, if he knows the goods, he will change hands at least one thousand five hundred taels of gold when he arrives in Jincheng.

At this moment, the ingots were completely carried away by the eight hundred taels of gold, and they were completely obsessed.

Eight hundred taels of silver is equal to eight thousand taels of silver, and according to the current prices, most of the life will not be worried. You can also buy a house in the capital, take three or five or seven wives and concubines, and become a rich man.
