In Dongcheng, Wang He looked at the Yongan Pawn Shop across the street, stopped and observed the passers-by.
If what the police officer said was true and something happened with Manager Qiu, even if the pawn shop was not busy, at least there were people visiting it. However, after observing for half an hour, not even a single person entered.
"Sure enough, there is something weird! Is it a fairy fate? Or is it caused by evil spirits?"
Wang He's eyes darkened.
As the Censor of Xiuyi, he is well-informed and knows that in addition to human beings, there are also gods and demons in this world.
Yuzhou was originally the land of Bashu thousands of years ago. Later, the sacred mountain came and the human king opened up two realms. The Shushan sect was also established, which was the first major sect of cultivating immortals.
Shushan Sect Shushan Sect, when you hear this name, you know that it is close to Shu.
Therefore, in the past thousands of years, whenever Shushan disciples come down from the mountain, their first stop must be Yuzhou. While traveling down the mountain, they also select talents and jade, adopt them as their heirs, and embark on the road of seeking immortality.
When he was young, Wang He also dreamed of flying with a sword and traveling to Qingming. Later, when he grew up, he turned to join the embroidered censor.
Although the dream is no longer there, Wang He knows that many worldly masters have appeared in Yuzhou.
Is the one in Yongan Pawn Shop one of them?
Of course, in addition to the Immortal Family, there are also the Demon Clan.
Monsters are wanton by nature, especially those who have just opened their spiritual intelligence and can transform into other forms, they are even more lawless.
Almost every few decades, there is news of a big demon causing chaos in the Kyushu. Then the disciples of the Immortal family will eliminate the demon, kill it, or capture it and put it into the Qiankun Tower to suppress it.
What this Yong'an pawnshop did was not very like the style of the demon tribe, but it had to be guarded against.
Wang He hesitated, but finally walked to the pawn shop.
The deadline is approaching, he has found nothing, and is already on the edge of the cliff. The ancestor of Perak will definitely kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
No matter whether the people in the pawn shop are good or evil, you can only take a risk and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
What's more, he also has extravagant hopes in his heart.
The Holy Master valued that ancient painting so much that he even turned the Great Patriarch of Perak into an ant on a hot pot. If he could really find it and make a great contribution, wouldn't he have the opportunity to rise to great heights and become a successful person?
Taking a deep breath, Wang He reached out and pushed the door open.
Squeak!
The old wooden door slowly opened to both sides, and what came into view was Fan Li's portrait.
Wang He took a closer look and his heart sank.
Since Fan Li became an immortal and was regarded as a business saint, every shop has hung his portrait, with offerings underneath to attract wealth. However, this pawn shop was the only one with no paintings.
No respect for the immortals and saints!
Either he is not an immortal, or he is an immortal higher than Fan Li.
But is that possible?
"Is it evil?"
He held the hilt of the sword at his waist and walked inside, his vision suddenly became clearer.
There are no high cabinets or shy boards like ordinary pawnshops. There are only a few elegant furniture items in the spacious room. There is a long table in the middle with two chairs placed inside and outside. There is no one on it.
"Is the shopkeeper here?"
Wang He circled the long table twice, couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted.
"Coming!"
Gu Cheng slowly walked out from behind holding a cup of tea.
"I don't know your surname?"
Wang He looked around and found that apart from the fact that he was a young man who had not yet reached the age of crown, he could not see any other information at all, so he could only raise his hand and ask.
Gu Cheng smiled: "You can call me boss."
"boss?"
The word "ban" in this world is written as "ban". Wang He thought about it and praised it: "The dagger above the soil is for old age, the door has items for the board, the dagger is buried in the soil, hiding murderous intent underneath, but it is
If you have character and personality, you will be known as a boss!"
"Just open your mouth and come!"
Gu Cheng sat down with a smile: "What are you here to pawn?"
Wang He did not sit down, his body tensed slightly, and he asked in a solemn voice: "I heard that the property pawned here is not ordinary property?"
"good!"
Gu Cheng nodded: "No matter what your needs are, you can get them at Yong'an Pawn Shop, provided you are willing to pay the same price!"
"Whatever I ask for, can you do it?"
Wang He's eyes were sharp and he looked over: "What a big statement. Since you are so capable, why are there so few people here?"
"Ordinary people will not know the information about Yong'an Pawn Shop. The only people who spread the word of mouth are people who need pawns."
Gu Cheng sipped his tea and said, "You only have one chance. If you give up, Yong'an Pawnshop will never be open to you."
Wang He's expression changed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Your Excellency has great supernatural powers, can you see what I want?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Wang He. Endless information suddenly appeared and poured into his heart like a tide.
In an instant, Gu Cheng not only saw Wang He's past, but also saw dozens of possible future directions for him, and thousands of branches, arranged in endless changes, converging into a long river of destiny.
This is the secret of calculation.
With just a few clicks, you can control the past, future, causes and consequences.
In the world of immortal martial arts, only by reaching the realm of chaos can this method be available.
But even in the Hunyuan Dao realm, there are limitations in calculating the heavenly secrets.
For example, if Gu Chengren has an imperial rank, even the Hunyuan Dao realm cannot figure out everything about him. Existences at the same level can also deceive the secrets of heaven.
Let’s not talk about the main world for now. In this small world, Gu Cheng has experienced Fei Peng Longyang. He has taken a crucial step from the three realms of Saint Immortal and entered the realm of chaos. His understanding of the way of heaven in this world has reached its peak, and he can calculate the secrets of heaven.
of great power.
In this way, Yong'an Pawn Shop can be opened successfully.
After a moment, Gu Cheng withdrew his gaze: "The first thing all living beings in the six realms seek is survival. You only have ten days left to live, so what you want is to survive."
Wang He's expression changed drastically and he suddenly fell down: "Please save me!"
"You have to give something when you get something. This is the rule of the pawn shop."
Gu Cheng waved his hand, and a delicate scale appeared on the long table. It used bamboo slices as beams, silk threads as handles, and a copper plate hanging on each end.
A ball of light appeared on the copper plate on the left, with faint light and shadow flickering inside. Gu Cheng pointed at it and said: "The clue to the mission that you have been asking for is in it."
Wang He tried his best to open his eyes wide and look inside, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
Gu Cheng pointed to the empty copper plate on the right: "This is the thing you want to put as a pawn. Since the reward you want to get is a matter of life and death, you must pledge your most precious thing."
Wang He's face changed slightly: "What is that?"
"It's up to you to make the judgement."
Gu Chengdao: "But I have a piece of advice. In this pawn shop, exchanges are equal, and no one can deceive anyone. If you are reluctant to part with the most precious thing, what you exchange for will naturally not be a clue that can save your life."
Wang He's face was gloomy and uncertain, his eyes were rolling, and he suddenly asked: "Did Manager Qiu of Yuzhou Trading Company pawn his most precious possessions like me?"
Gu Cheng nodded: "Not bad."
"What Guanshi Qiu lost was his talent for magic, but he has already become famous. Even if he doesn't know how to settle accounts, he still has huge wealth to squander. Compared to the lives of his family, what is this price? The pawnshop owner seems to have made a condition
, in fact, he is a kind person who helps people in distress!"
Wang He was overjoyed and said: "I pledge my martial arts talent. It is because of my outstanding martial arts talent that I have achieved my current status!"
He didn't lie. He was able to become the Censor of Xiuyi in the first place because of his mastery of swordsmanship.
But just as Guanshi Qiu would no longer settle accounts personally after becoming a senior official of the Chamber of Commerce, he would have almost no chance to take action after becoming the censor of embroidered clothes.
So what Wang He really values now is his official status. Once he becomes successful in the future, even if he goes into dangerous situations, he will be protected by strong men, so what does martial arts mean?
Gu Cheng glanced at him with a half-smile, nodded and said, "In that case, let's sign it!"
