Wu Bei was speechless for a while, then he cleared his throat: "Boss, one thousand yuan is too expensive. Let me pick a few and take them home for collection. Each one costs three thousand yuan."
The middle-aged people are actually also worried. These things are weird, but unfortunately no one buys them. Before this, I don’t know how many people passed by the stall, but they didn’t even ask.
He hesitated and said, "Then you should buy at least ten."
This trip, he had to earn tens of thousands of yuan, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to pay for his trip home!
Wu Bei nodded: "Sure, then I'll pick at least ten."
Next, he picked through more than a hundred stones. Most of the stones had nothing inside, and only five had something inside, including the big stone with a human head inside.
He took out all five stones, and then took five small stones with hollow insides, and said, "Boss, just these ten stones."
Seeing someone buying these strange stones, several people came over to watch the fun.
An old voice asked: "Young man, why did you buy these stones?"
In the ghost market, people generally don't inquire about other people's situation. Wu Bei then felt strange. He turned around and saw an old man with a white beard, about seventy or eighty years old. He was not wearing a mask and asked with a smile.
When Wu Beigang asked why should I tell you, Tang Ziyi quickly said: "Mr. Jing, you are here too. It is a great honor to see you."
As soon as he said "Mr. Jing", Wu Bei remembered. He had heard someone say that there was a "good old man" named Jinghe in the world.
The reason why Mr. Jing is famous has little to do with his character. He is famous all over the world because he has two famous sons.
Of his two sons, one is king in the northwest and is known as the Northwest Wolf; the other is a world-famous boxer who married the daughter of a powerful force in the earthly and immortal world.
As a result, Jinghe's reputation grew. If anyone asked his son to do something, he had to go through him first. Over time, he became the number one person, known as Mr. Jing.
Wu Beidao: "Mr. Jing, I think this stone is good, so I bought it for collection."
Mr. Jing picked up a stone. He observed it for a moment and asked the boss: "Has this stone been opened?"
The boss shook his head: "Can't open it."
Wu Bei smiled and said: "Mr. Jing wants to see, I can open a few."
He drew out the Black Dragon Sword, then took out a blank stone and slashed it with his sword.
With a "dang" sound, the stone was split into two, the cut surface was flat, but there was nothing inside, it seemed to be just some kind of strange material.
Everyone showed disappointment. Seeing Wu Bei buying so many stones, they thought he had discovered something.
Mr. Jing smiled and said: "It turns out it's just a stone."
Wu Bei didn't want to take these hollow stones, so he split five pieces in succession. The result was naturally the same, there was nothing inside.
He sighed deliberately and said, "It seems to be just a stone."
When the boss saw that Wu Bei had a sword that could cut open stones, his eyes lit up and he said, "Friend, can you cut a few more stones for me?"
He had a small calculation in his mind, hoping that Wu Bei could cut something out of the stones. In that case, these stones could be sold at a higher price.
Wu Beidao: "Okay."
Then he split several more stones with one stroke of his sword. Without exception, there was nothing inside these cut stones.
Everyone was even more disappointed and shook their heads and left. The boss was very frustrated and cursed: "It turns out to be just a pile of waste!"
Wu Bei didn't say anything. He packed the five stones in a bag, carried them on his back and walked forward.
Further back, there was nothing worth selling, so Tang Zi bought a few antiques.
At the other end, the two were preparing to go down the mountain. Wu Bei put things into the thumb space halfway and said to Tang Ziyi: "Let's go to the inner city."
What they are visiting now is the outer market, where the things are relatively common. But the better things are found in the inner market.
To go to the inner city, you have to go down the mountain and take another road.
After they walked for a while, they heard someone behind them say: "Friend, can you lend me your sword?"
Wu Bei stopped. When he was going down the mountain, he felt someone was following him from a distance. He was indeed being watched!
He turned around and said coldly: "No."
The other party strode over, a tall man wearing a gray monk's robe with his hands in his sleeves.
"To be convenient for others is to be convenient for yourself. My friend, you are too stingy," the other party said.
Wu Bei could tell at a glance that the opponent was a master who had mastered Qi training to become a gang. However, practicing Qi to become a gang was really not worth mentioning to him!
He said calmly: "Get out of here now, I can still let you go."
The Taoist sneered: "The tone is not small..."
As soon as the word "little" was written, Wu Bei suddenly came in front of him and knocked him away with a palm.
The man grunted, was knocked back several meters, hit a boulder hard, and then spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Are you a human being?" He was frightened and frightened, and his white hair was sweating from fear.
Wu Bei said coldly: "Go away!"
At that moment, he actually did not use his full strength, otherwise he could be killed with one palm. Even so, the man was still seriously injured.
Without saying a word, he stood up and walked back. After taking a few steps, Wu Bei suddenly said: "Come back."
The Taoist was startled and asked quickly: "What do you want?"
Wu Bei: "You have a lamp in your waist, bring it over."
The Taoist was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
He brought this lamp to the mountain to sell, but he hadn't set up a stall yet.
Wu Beidao: "I have vision, so I can naturally see it."
The Taoist had no choice but to take out a black, lotus-shaped oil lamp from his arms. This lamp was a few years old, very ancient, and had a simple and elegant shape.
Wu Bei discovered that there was a hidden flame inside the lamp. Under the eyes of the dimension, this flame was extremely bright, brighter than the sun!
The Taoist said with a horrified look on his face: "This lamp was originally for sale. I gave it to you. Please don't kill me."
Wu Bei put away the lamp and asked him: "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Taoist: "I stole this lamp from an ancient temple. I planned to sell it for 30 million yuan."
Wu Bei took out a bank check worth 30 million and said, "I bought it."
The Taoist was surprised. He thought that a master like Wu Bei would take his things for free, but he didn't expect that he would give the price he wanted.
He quickly raised his fist and said, "Thank you!"
Wu Bei ignored him and pulled Tang Ziyi to continue down the mountain.
After walking for a while, Tang Ziyi asked in a low voice: "Why did you give him money?"
Wu Bei: "Everything has a cause and effect. If I bought this lamp, the cause and effect would be much less involved. But if it was stolen, the cause and effect would be much greater."
Tang Ziyi didn't understand: "What is cause and effect? Is it Buddhist cause and effect?"
Wu Bei: "Absolutely. Ordinary people are afraid of consequences, and Bodhisattvas are afraid of causes. Although my current cultivation level has not reached the realm of Bodhisattva, it is not low. It is better to be less contaminated with this kind of cause and effect."
At the foot of the mountain, Wu Bei found a guide from the inner city and said, "I want to go to the inner city."
The man took his ticket and looked at it: "Follow me."
So, the two of them got into a car with the man. The car drove for half an hour on a not-so-flat road before entering a valley.
At the entrance of the valley, the man stopped the car and said: "The inner city is in the valley. Let me remind you that there is no one in the inner city to maintain order. If someone robs your things or even kills you, we are not responsible. Please advise.
You two, it’s not too late to choose to leave now.”
Wu Bei said calmly: "Understood." After saying that, he pulled Tang Ziyi out of the car and walked towards the inner city.
