Chapter 174: Pinglu

"What will happen if I pawn my integrity?"

Ye Qing asked, this is the crux of the problem.

Zhu Ling replied: "If the distinguished guest pawns with integrity, he will become indifferent to right from wrong, good from evil, and will kill as he pleases."

"Yes, I understand." Ye Qing nodded and asked, "What will happen if I pawn my family ties?"

Zhu Ling smiled and said: "If a distinguished guest pawns family affection, he will lose all feelings towards his relatives. To you, your relatives will be like strangers. Of course, this will not affect your normal life. You may lose the fetters of family ties.

, your distinguished guests will live more elegantly?"

Ye Qing asked doubtfully: "Then what if I am an orphan and have no relatives?"

Zhu Ling smiled softly: "There is none now, but there will always be in the future. Your wife and your children are all your relatives. Of course, if you don't marry for the rest of your life, we will take appropriate measures to take away the same value from you.

s things."

In short, just don’t engage in loss-making trading.

Ye Qing nodded, indicating that he understood, and said by analogy: "Pawning love means that you can't get love and feel love; pawn friendship means that you can no longer feel friendship; wait and see."

Zhu Ling nodded.

Ye Qing thought for a while and continued: "What about dreams and future?"

Zhu Ling simply replied: "If you pawn your dream, you will lose the motivation to make progress and be content with the status quo; if you pawn the future, your life will always stay in the present, unchanged and calm."

Ye Qing frowned slightly. Zhu Ling put it simply, or in other words, the other party was always avoiding the important and neglecting the negative impact of losing a certain emotion. However, the impact of losing these things is undoubtedly huge.

If a certain emotion is missing, will a person still be a complete human being?

Without dreams, what is the difference between being a salted fish?

Without the future, what is the meaning of life?

Moreover, once you encounter any problems in the future, you will once again look forward to shortcuts and return to Pawn Shop No. 8 to continue pawning things in exchange for things. Human greed and desire are endless. Once you taste something

If you have the sweetness, you will make further progress, you may climb higher and higher step by step, or you may go to the abyss step by step and sink forever.

Perhaps, one day in the future, when you have nothing to pawn, you will pawn your soul to the devil!

After figuring out the joints, Ye Qing visualized the picture of Emperor Xi riding a chariot in the sea of ​​consciousness, keeping his mind clear, and continued to ask: "Then look at me, what can I pawn?"

A friendly smile appeared on Zhu Ling's face. She was not afraid that the other party would not be fooled, because human greed, laziness and desire are always endless.

"There are many things that distinguished guests can pawn, such as integrity, friendship, intelligence, conscience, longevity, martial arts talent, emotions and desires, etc."

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that I still have so many good things. Don't tell me that I haven't discovered it yet!" Ye Qing was slightly excited, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "I feel like I can exchange for a lot of things?"

The smile on Zhu Ling's face became more earnest and warm: "Then what does your distinguished guest want to pawn in exchange for the moonstone?"

Ye Qing replied: "Of course...money."

"Money?" Zhu Ling was stunned: "Don't your distinguished guests intend to pawn the above-mentioned things?"

Ye Qing said matter-of-factly: "Of course, of course I want to keep such a good thing for myself. Why should I pawn it?"

Zhu Ling: "..." Are all my previous words in vain?

Zhu Ling persuaded: "Moonstone pith is an extremely rare spiritual material. If you want to exchange it with gold and silver, the price will definitely be high. Have you thought clearly?"

"In fact, in our No. 8 pawn shop, compared to tangible things such as gold and white, intangible things such as emotions are more valuable. Guests only need to pay a small price to exchange for what they need. Why not

Woolen cloth?"

"Then I can't even pawn!" Ye Qing said matter-of-factly: "Besides, I'm not short of money!"

Rich and willful.

Zhu Ling was a little confused, why did she become more stubborn the more she persuaded her?

Ye Qing did not rush to pay, but asked: "Although you said that No. 8 Pawnshop is a good boy, but why do I think you won't cheat me, deliberately inflate the value of the moonstone, and belittle the value of my pawnshop?"

The value of the thing pawned?”

Zhu Ling had given up persuading Ye Qing and waved his hand. A strange creature that looked like a colorful sacred deer appeared in the No. 8 pawnshop. However, the strange creature that looked like a sacred deer was carrying a scale on its back.

It looks quite weird.

"Pinglu?" Ye Qing blurted out subconsciously.

"Yes, it's Pinglu!" Zhu Ling replied, "You can rest assured now."

Ye Qing nodded. The so-called Ping Lu is a very special kind of monster. Ping Lu is extremely powerful, but it will not actively attack humans or other monsters. It has a gentle temper and likes to help humans weigh items and trade fairly.

However, once encountering an unfair transaction or fraud, Pinglu will get angry and the scale on his back will tilt. At that time, Pinglu will dismember the person who violates the fair transaction bit by bit and place it on one end of the scale until the scale returns to normal.

Only when the two ends are even, Ping Lu will stop and calm down his anger.

Therefore, the flat deer is also called the fair deer by merchants and others, and is often carved on the steelyard to show the fairness of transactions.

The flat deer in front of you has colorful fur, as if it were dotted with stars; the deer's antlers are surrounded by auspicious clouds, and its eyes are agile. The scale behind it exudes colorful auspicious light, which is mysterious and unpredictable.

Obviously, it is real and not an illusion created by Zhu Ling.

"Then let's start the transaction!" As he said that, Zhu Ling placed the moonstone in a tray behind Ping Lu, and the scale tilted slightly.

Seeing this, Ye Qing first took out fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver notes and placed them in the tray on the other side. However, when he put the fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver on it, the scale barely even moved, which frightened Ye Qing's heart.

Stopped.

Originally, he saw that the tilt of the scale was not serious, and thought that seeing the moonstone would not cost him much money. Who would have thought that if he put fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver on it, not even a splash would appear, it was too scary.

Fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver was almost half of his money, so even if he put the other half in, it would probably be useless.

It seems that in Pawn Shop No. 8, yellow and white items are indeed the most worthless.

Ye Qing did not continue to waste his snowflake silver, but added to the tray the things he had just collected from four vendors. Most of those things he did not recognize, and he did not know whether they were valuable, so he might as well throw them away.

Go up and try it. Anyway, it takes up space in Shanhe Berry, and it's not of much value to him. He took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of it.

Ye Qing didn't put them one by one. Since he chose to show off, he had to start and end, putting them one by one. It was too petty, so he dumped all the things he thought were worthless into the tray.

The tray seemed small and had limited space, but when he poured hundreds of things on it, it did not fall down, as if the tray contained endless space.

Mustard seeds, hidden Xumi.

When Ye Qing put the things in, the five-colored divine light slowly lit up on the antlers of Ping Lu. The light was soft, gentle, and mysterious. The colorful light lasted for a while, and then in Ye Qing's surprised eyes, a small amount of the things were removed from the tray.

He threw it out and landed in front of Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was stunned, not knowing why, but he saw Zhu Ling chuckle: "Dear guest, those are worthless waste."

After eliminating the worthless things, the balance on Ping Lu's back began to tilt slowly, but in the end it was still a little bit off.

"Dear guest, it seems that's not enough." Zhu Ling smiled proudly.

Ye Qing was not in a hurry, and after thinking for a while, he put all the useless tricks and secrets on his body, such as the skinning knife, the deceased's shroud, the bones of the dead, "Iron Smelting Hand", "Dengping Ping Floating Water", etc., into the scale.

As these things are added, the balance slowly begins to level out.

However, Ye Qing didn't notice that when he put in the skinning knife, the deceased's shroud, the bones of the deceased and other strange tools, the candle spirit beside him had a strange smile on his face, and the candles on the ebony shelf shook together, showing a strange look.

of light.

"Jiejie, you are dead."

Looking at the slowly leveling scales, the smile on Zhu Ling's face became brighter, and her heart became more and more proud. She used her special ability to conceal the true value of those artifacts, and Ping Lu hated falsification the most.

A fair deal, once Pinglu discovers that there is something wrong with those artifacts, he will definitely think that Ye Qing is cheating and take action against him. Whether he severely injures Ye Qing or kills him directly, it will be a big deal for Pawnshop No. 8.

There is a hundred benefits and no harm.

If Ye Qing is seriously injured, he will definitely need treatment. However, he is in a strange city with many dangers and cannot leave before time. If he chooses to leave with serious injuries, it is no different from committing suicide. Then Ye Qing's only choice is to fight with No. 8

The pawn shop reopens the transaction and treats the injuries. When the time comes, she will be able to get what she wants.

If the opponent is directly killed by Ping Lu, then it is even simpler. His soul will directly belong to Pawn Shop No. 8.

Simply perfect!

Thinking of this, Zhu Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud. In fact, she had used this method to deceive many people, and the souls of those people, without exception, are now in Pawn Shop No. 8.

Ye Qing was completely unaware of the upcoming danger, but looked at the scales that were about to level, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

But at this moment, the strange scripture in his arms suddenly emitted a burst of faint light, and a silver dragon and snake rune slowly disappeared.

The moment the dragon and snake runes disappeared, lines of text automatically appeared on the Sutra:

Zhu Ling was tricked by Ye Qing and refused to give up. So he used his own talent to secretly conceal the true value of the items Ye Qing traded in an attempt to arouse Ping Lu's anger, kill Ye Qing and collect Ye Qing's soul.

However, Zhu Ling got carried away with his pride and committed his own misfortune. When Zhu Ling was secretly proud of himself, he accidentally leaked a trace of his breath and was discovered by Ping Lu.

Ping Lu was furious and killed Zhu Ling immediately.

When the four words "Kill Zhu Ling" appeared, they slowly disappeared, as if they could not bear the power of fate. But just when the four words were about to disappear, the remaining sixteen silver dragons on the Sutra appeared.

The snake runes all emitted dazzling silver light, and six silver dragon and snake runes collapsed and disappeared.

As the six silver dragon and snake runes disappeared, the four words that were about to disappear reappeared again, solid as before and as red as blood:
Chapter completed!
