Zhang Jian just glanced at it, and suddenly there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Zhang Jian can still clearly distinguish between turtles and turtles. One has a hard shell and the other has a soft shell.
Turtle is also called turtle.
In front of you is a large tortoise that has always been rare, especially because it is white jade in color. This kind of turtle is usually called auspicious among the people. Whether it is a birthday gift or a tribute to the court, it will be treated with courtesy.
The white jade turtle in front of him is even more extraordinary. Zhang Jian can see wisps of moist and spiritual energy flowing around it in his eyes. It should be regarded as some kind of little spirit.
At this moment, in Zhang Jian's mind, he could hear the sound of a child crying, filled with fear and worry.
"A white jade turtle?"
At this time, many passers-by were bidding, and the price had soared from a few coins to dozens of coins.
Zhang Jian glanced at the spirit turtle, thought about it, and then said directly.
"Three hundred copper coins!"
He spoke to himself, and many passers-by around him immediately looked at him, all of them looking dissatisfied.
The old fisherman's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"This gentleman bids three hundred guan. Is there any higher price? If not, this big white turtle will belong to this gentleman!"
Although many passers-by were interested in competing, and many of them were even servants from the mansions of dignitaries who came to purchase ingredients, they still did not have the right to scatter such a large amount of copper coins.
At that moment, several people came forward and tried to clarify their origins and discuss with Zhang Jian, but Zhang Jian directly refused.
At the same time, Zhang Jian took out the post from Qi Mansion and handed it to the old fisherman and said: "This is the famous thorn of the Qi family on Changling Street. It has my name on it. You can use this to get three hundred copper coins from Qi Mansion!"
"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can follow me directly to the nearby bank to withdraw money!"
When the old fisherman heard that it was the Qi family on Changling Street, his face suddenly became cautious, and he hurriedly said: "You can trust me, I can still trust the old general Qi!"
There were several stewards of wealthy families nearby who were still trying to entangle them. When they heard that it was the third-class Weiyuan General's mansion, the Qi family could only stop their efforts and stop trying to entangle them. They could only look at this scene with envy.
Although they are limited by their power and vision, they also know that this white jade turtle must be valuable, and if they can take it back, they will definitely be greatly appreciated.
The old fisherman solemnly put away the luxurious thorn at this time, stepped forward and said earnestly: "Mr. Lang, do you need me to help you pick it back to Qi Mansion?"
Zhang Jian raised the hemp fiber fishing net and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. This thing looks so beautiful. It would be a waste if you eat it, so let it go!"
"God has the virtue of a happy life!"
Everyone nearby felt it was a pity when they heard this, and the old fisherman also felt it was a pity, but since it was sold, it had nothing to do with him, so he just smiled and said.
"Mr. Lang is still compassionate and truly has the heart of a Bodhisattva!"
The white jade turtle in the net pocket seemed to understand that his life was saved, and he slowly poked his head out, looking at Zhang Jian with watery eyes. Zhang Jian heard a word of thanks in his ears.
Then he stood up and walked to the river embankment at the back, tore the netting casually, and threw the white jade turtle into the rushing white water.
Zhang Jian watched the white jade turtle fall into the water and disappear, and suddenly smiled.
In fact, given the current size of the Zhang family, it might be possible to gain some benefits by keeping this turtle and handing it over to the sixth uncle, Zhang Duan, for presentation to the imperial court.
But this is too troublesome, and it can easily attract covetous people.
Zhang Jian simply released him directly, which was considered as fulfilling his own wishes.
Ask for a clear idea.
Then Zhang Jian turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Just after leaving the human world, screams of surprise suddenly erupted from the river embankment, and waves of violent waves suddenly erupted from the depths of the Baishui River.
Everyone said that if there is no wind and waves, there must be monsters.
The fish market and crowds along the river embankment were quickly dispersing.
Those with sharp eyes, however, could see a small mountain-like figure moving deep in the wide Baishui River, which was shocking.
This matter spread quickly.
When Zhang Jian returned to Qi Mansion after handling the gold and silver ingots purchased by Hu Shan and others, he could hear the discussions of people around him.
Not long after Zhang Jian returned to the small courtyard, Qi Yi and Taoist Tianxu came hand in hand, both of them were concerned about the fight that took place around Qi Mansion last night.
Zhang Jian did not hide it either.
"This county governor actually bribed so many strange people?"
Qi Yi suddenly had a headache when he heard this. These strange people were of little use in a head-on confrontation. They might not even be as effective as hundreds of soldiers charging together, nine-bead crossbows, or even cinnabar armor-piercing crossbows, but they were useless for assassinations. It's very fierce.
"Grandpa, there is no need to worry. The Qi Mansion is a third-class majestic general's mansion. It is protected by the imperial cauldron. Evil people do not dare to invade easily. As for several uncles who are officials, we only need to be careful, send more guards, and no problem!"
"That's all we can do for now!"
Qi Yi nodded.
Qi Yi sighed a little. Nowadays, all the major families in the county are busy fighting for power with the governor and checking and balancing each other. Days like this really make him feel stressed.
Zhang Jian's heart moved, he looked at Taoist Tianxu and said.
"How much does Senior Tianxu know about the power of the Shinto in Fengyang County?"
Taoist Tianxu's expression changed when he heard this: "Shinto?"
He looked at Zhang Jian in surprise, and then said for a moment: "The old Taoist only knows that there is a county emperor in the county city, and that there used to be a Baishui Divine Priest in the Baishui River. The Shinto emphasizes rules, and they usually will not interfere with the world's operations at will, unless Matters involving the Yin and Yang Realms!"
Zhang Jian nodded when he heard this, his eyes wavering slightly.
"Senior Tianxu, does he know how to restrain the nature of gods?"
Hearing this, Taoist Tianxu was startled. He looked at the young man in front of him in astonishment and couldn't help but say.
"Brother Zhang, why do you ask this?"
Zhang Jian shook his head and said: "I just saw the power of gods not long ago, and I felt something in my heart!"
Taoist Tianxu nodded when he heard this. He was vaguely aware of the move by the City Emperor God before, so he shook his head and said.
"It's about the mysteries of Shinto, but even experienced Taoists don't know it very well, but there may be some records in many ancient books in Iron Immortal Temple!"
Taoist Tianxu had a look of shame in his eyes: "After all, the old Taoist cannot compare with the ancestors of Tiexian Temple, and his vision is limited!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Senior Tianxu is too humble. He specializes in medicine. When it comes to his understanding of medicine, Senior Tianxu is far superior to his predecessors. Who in Fengyang County doesn't know Tianxu?" Senior’s accomplishments in these two areas are in vain!”
Hearing this, Master Tianxu blushed a little, but his expression was full of smiles. Everyone loves to hear good words, not to mention the compliments of a young and talented Taoist who has practiced before him.
Old Taoist Tianxu's face was flushed, and he patted his chest and said.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry. I will check it for you when I get back. If I really can't find it, I will ask some old friends for you. Maybe they will have an answer!"
"So, thank you, Senior Tianxu, this matter is quite important to me!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly.
He had a premonition that he might have to deal directly with the Dragon Lord next, so he naturally had to make some preparations and know how to restrain the Dragon Lord before he could act.
Qi Yi and Master Tianxu talked in detail for a while in the small courtyard. After getting the news they wanted to know, they left in a hurry. Qi Yi invited Master Tianxu to come this time because he had other important matters, but it was for the sake of the four-bedroom apartment.
Yuanjia invited Taoist priest Ke Qing to make an identification.
To avoid being deceived.

Zhang Jian was waiting in the courtyard for the 'ancestor''s feedback after the ancestor worship ceremony in the morning.
