Chapter 56: Xuanhuang Axe

The pawnshop owner still looked at Qi Haoyuan with a smile, "Lao Yu is an ordinary businessman, he can't see the authenticity of this elixir, please forgive me, but Lao Yu can see that this elixir is really good, and Xiao Ye is also a sincere person, so you think this is good, you take out another pill and pawn it together, in this way, Lao Yu will be calmer in his heart, and you can also get money to save the emergency, and when you have money, you will redeem these things, and you will not suffer." ”

Qi Haoyuan glared at the pawnshop owner, thought about it, and then gritted his teeth and poured out a Yiyuan Pill from the jade bottle. In fact, this pill is nothing to him, let alone a pill, even if it is a whole bottle, he will not hesitate to take it out, but the pawnshop owner is suspected of slandering people, which makes him quite unhappy. If it weren't for the idea that more things are better than less, at this time, he would definitely not compromise so much and make concessions again and again.

Seeing Qi Haoyuan take out the pill, the pawnshop owner's eyes were about to light up, but this old fox's acting skills were quite good, and after a very brief period of joy, he returned to normal, he took out his pen and ink, and squandered it on a contract.

After writing it, he handed it to Qi Haoyuan, "This is the pawn contract, you take it, you can redeem your things with it and silver within a month, the overdue contract will be invalidated, these things will belong to the pawnshop, you see, if it is correct, sign it." ”

When Qi Haoyuan signed, the boss prepared one hundred and fifty taels of silver and put it on the windowsill.

After Qi Haoyuan signed, the boss took off the first page and gave it to Qi Haoyuan, and there was a page at the bottom for preservation (there are already things like carbon paper in the mythical world).

He turned around and took a brocade box, put the jade slip into the brocade box, put the two pills into a jade bottle, and put it away.

Behind him was a row of shelves, on which were all the pawns of the guests, the bottom layer was already full, the boss tiptoed to put the brocade box on the upper floor, and saw that it was about to be placed, but his elbow accidentally touched a long box.

With a "boom", the long box fell to the ground, smashed with a loud sound, and an axe bounced out. Qi Haoyuan heard the sound and looked at it, and his eyes fell on this axe.

The weight of the axe is unknown, but it is not very light to hear that the sound is so strong. The color is cloudy and yellow, and the handle of the axe is about one meter, and with the axe, it is about the same length as a normal long sword.

"Boss, is this axe also a pawn?" Qi Haoyuan asked.

The boss picked up the axe with difficulty, and was about to put it back in the box, when he heard Qi Haoyuan speak, he turned around and said, "That's right, a broken axe, this has been here for several years, and no one has come to redeem it, so sooner or later it will be thrown at him." ”

The axe was supposed to be quite heavy, as the boss's expression was struggling, but he couldn't lift it.

Qi Haoyuan felt that this axe was a little different, it was a strong feeling, maybe this had a lot to do with his perennial archaeology, it could be seen that this axe was a long time old, "How much is this axe worth?"

"You want to redeem this axe?" asked the boss as he put down the axe, his eyes rolling quickly, and he was very interested.

Qi Haoyuan nodded, "I'll give you another pill, can you give me this axe?"

"I'm afraid that's a bit inappropriate, I can't transfer a guest's things to someone else without permission. "The owner was a little hesitant.

"Two grains. ”

"Pawnshops are all about integrity. ”

"Three grains. ”

"I can't smash the reputation of a century-old store for the sake of temporary profits. ”

"Four grains, no more!"

Qi Haoyuan's tone was suddenly cold, he had already suppressed his emotions quite a bit, but this old guy was too greedy, according to the provisions of the contract, after a few years, the pawn goods had already belonged to the pawnshop's property, and just now he disliked this broken axe to occupy the place, but now he has raised the price again and again, it is simply not a thing!

Four pills have been called, and the pawnshop owner has already blossomed in his heart, but his face is still pretended to be calm, and he is very reluctant, "That's it, the master is so sincere, the old man will make the decision for the guests once, and give you this axe." ”

Qi Haoyuan poured out four Yiyuan pills and put them on the windowsill, glared at the pawnshop owner angrily, the pawnshop owner didn't see it, and filled the pill with a jade bottle with a smile.

"This axe is too heavy, you can take it yourself. The boss put away the pill, opened the small door next to it, and let Qi Haoyuan in.

"It's really heavy!" Qi Haoyuan's current strength can lift the weight of three thousand catties with both hands, but he still feels a little heavy when he picks up this axe. An ordinary axe is only a few dozen catties at most, but this axe is conservatively estimated to be more than two hundred catties.

After squandering a few times, it is quite commensurate, and four pills of a first-grade pill flower are not lost. Seeing a smile on Qi Haoyuan's face, the boss showed a suspicious look, "Could it be that I have lost my eyes, this axe is a treasure?" he thought in his heart, but now it was too late to regret it.

Qi Haoyuan put the axe back into the long box, sandwiched it under his arm, left the pawnshop, and rushed back to the Vientiane store, Zhang Dezhuang was already waiting for him at the door of the Vientiane store, and when he came back, Zhang Dezhuang hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Is it done, why is it so long?"

"There was a small accident, and after a little delay, the money was done. Qi Haoyuan patted the silver that made a noise in his arms, and Zhang Dezhuang was relieved.

They paid the money, then walked around the small town for a while, bought other things, and went back to the restaurant. While Zhang Dezhuang and the others were not paying attention, Qi Haoyuan played with them and disappeared.

Back at Jinding's residence, Qi Haoyuan couldn't wait to take out the axe. The axe is the same in the hand, and the shape is very ordinary, just a little heavier.

The reason why Qi Haoyuan insisted on exchanging it with the pawnshop owner was mainly because he valued the ancient aura that emanated from his body. He is an archaeologist, and the more ancient things are, the more sensitive he is, such as the Heaven-Locking Array that brought him to the Mythical World, the breath of ancient years is enough to suffocate people.

"There's no instrument to date it, but I guess it's thousands of years old. Qi Haoyuan stroked the axe and muttered to himself, "Anyway, it's worth it, thousands of years of history is quite a good antique, and four pills of a first-grade pill are cost-effective." ”

The handle of the axe and the head of the axe are one and the same metal is cast, Qi Haoyuan does not recognize this metal, but it is certain that it is not the common metals of iron and copper. Judging by the color alone, it looks more like earth, of course, but it is not.

Qi Haoyuan studied for a while, knocking and beating, but he had no clue. This axe seems to have no other characteristics except Shen, and it is difficult to use it to cut wood.

"Forget it, let's treat it as an antique collection!" Qi Haoyuan put it back in the long box, threw it aside, and went to study the mercury scale.

In fact, there is no research to talk about, he can't be idle and bored to figure out how the weight is converted into the rise and fall of mercury in the mercury column, and spend a lot of money to buy it back to help him practice his eyesight, so as to find the right feeling.

At that moment, Qi Haoyuan began to practice, he first took a few prescriptions (given by the three elders, twenty prescriptions below the second grade, including Yi, Yuan Dan, Gui Yuan Dan, Pei Yuan Dan, Forging Blood Pill, Qi Condensing Pill, Bone Refining Pill, etc.), pretending to be medicinal herbs with sand, according to the dosage of each medicinal material in the prescription, according to the proportion, and weighing the weight of ten pills by feeling.

In this process, his attitude is rigorous, full of scientific research scientists!

After taking the "medicinal herbs", it is time to proofread. On the basis of strict control of proportions, he barely managed to achieve a small proportion error, but the actual quality was somewhat different. This time, the amount of ten grains was only eight, and because the last time the amount of ten grains was taken thirteen grains, this time the amount was deliberately reduced.

With the assistance of mercury scales, Qi Haoyuan can clearly know where every deviation of his deviation is, so he keeps correcting it, and the error is really reduced.

It is not for nothing that the three elders said that practice makes perfect. Without practice, there is no right to speak, every field has not been set foot in, I don't know the depth, and I naturally have no bottom in my heart, once I invest in it, I will find that everything is really possible.

After repeated practice, Qi Haoyuan became even more determined in this idea, although there was still a distance from the accuracy of the three elders, but as long as he persevered, it was not a dream to reach that step.

In Qi Haoyuan's mind, a scale was gradually formed, this scale is called proportion, every time he takes medicinal materials, his mind involuntarily emerges the estimated quality, because it has not yet reached the point of accuracy, so this value seems a little vague, and the left and right often deviate, this is the error, there may be an accuracy in the case of luck.

While others were talking about the Tao and the Fa, Qi Haoyuan was doing these things that seemed boring but were of great significance. When others raised their glasses to the moon at night, he hid alone in his room, closed the doors and windows, stared at the candles without blinking his eyes, and went to sleep until he was too sleepy.
