Volume 1: Red Moon Rising Chapter 55: Five-color Spirit Stone
The red jade was old in color and looked like inferior goods at first glance. Yang Jiong took the jade and said, "Such an old jade is only worth a few copper coins, huh?"
He suddenly stopped talking because as soon as his fingers touched the piece of jade, he noticed something strange. From the fiery red jade, a ray of heaven and earth energy flowed into his body along his fingers.
This kind of vitality is like a ball of fire, going straight up to the brain along the meridians, and the whole body is filled with warmth wherever it passes. Unlike the piece of blue jade I got last time, the vitality in it is like water. It absorbs the vitality, and the whole body feels like bathing in water.
.
After using the blue jade, Yang Jiong searched in Fancheng to no avail, and gradually forgot about the vitality in the jade. At this time, the vitality suddenly appeared in this piece of red jade, and Yang Jiong couldn't help but be secretly happy.
He looked at Wang Bo and said: "Master Wang, can you tell me where this jade comes from?"
Wang Bodao: "Brother, just call me by name. This piece of jade is a family heirloom. There are five pieces in total, which are red, yellow, green, blue and gold. Because the colors are interesting, I brought five pieces with me.
.”
Yang Jiong interrupted Wang Bo, stretched out his hand and said: "Give me the other four pieces of jade."
Wang Bo shook his head and said: "The day before yesterday, I gave a woman a green jade, and yesterday I gave a woman a yellow jade. This piece of red and gold is mixed in color. It's not even worth a tael of silver to go to the stall, so I keep it with me."
Yang Jiong said anxiously: "Show me your golden one."
Wang Bo took out an old piece of yellow jade and handed it to Yang Jiong. As soon as he took it, there was a sensation between his fingers. It was obvious that there was the vitality of heaven and earth, and it was different from the vitality of red jade and blue jade. It had a
A sharp, violent feeling.
Yang Jiong asked: "Which women did you give those two pieces to? I went to redeem them. This kind of worn-out jade is of no use to you, but it is of some use to me. There is also a piece of blue jade, where did you send it?
?”
Wang Bo said: "Why do you have the nerve to take back the things you gave away? Besides, they are in the west corner of the city. There are so many buildings, and I don't know which one they are in. How can I find them? That piece of blue jade has been lost long ago.
Gone."
Zhao Xiangyi looked at Yang Jiong in confusion, wondering why he was suddenly so interested in a few pieces of broken jade.
Yang Jiong gave her a reassuring look and said to Wang Bo: "Take me to find them. I will redeem the two pieces of jade with silver. If I can redeem the jade, I will give you this." He took out a piece of jade.
A gold bar was stretched out in front of Wang Bo's eyes.
Wang Bo's eyes were attracted to the gold bar, and then
He didn't get it back. He grabbed the gold bar, waited for Yang Jiong to pay for the meal, and hurriedly took Yang Jiong to the west of the city.
Yang Jiong asked: "Where is your horse?" Wang Bo said as he walked: "It ran away. I was frightened and ran for a few streets. I couldn't catch up."
"Looking at your Qi, you should know a little about martial arts. It's thousands of kilometers from Biluo Kingdom to Chuyang City. How did you get this little martial arts foundation?"
Wang Bo said proudly: "Brother, you don't know that I lack everything except money. When I entered Longteng, I was escorted by a large group of people, and I got separated from them some time ago. They didn't know that I had arrived in Chuyang City.
, he should still be looking for me in Shengjing."
"Blow, keep blowing." Zhao Xiangyi added without missing a chance.
Wang Bo said anxiously: "I'm not lying to you. News came from home half a month ago, asking me to rush back as soon as possible. My old servant Sheng Jing and I went straight down to Chuyang. We left in a hurry and had no time to contact them. When we arrived in Chuyang,
I was really tired, so I asked the old servant to go back first, and he left the horse and the transportation to me."
Yang Jiong asked: "Then how much money did your old servant leave for you? How come you are destitute in just a few days? I remember you said that it seems that you haven't had enough to eat for two days."
Wang Bodao: "I don't have much left, just one hundred taels of gold. I will spend most of it with the commander of the escort team."
Yang Jiong couldn't help but look at him a few more times. One tael of Longteng Kingdom's gold was exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, and one tael of silver was exchanged for a thousand coppers.
One hundred taels of gold, that is, ten gold bars and ten thousand taels of silver. He spent all of it on the belly of the brothel woman in three days.
Wang Bo laughed dryly and said: "The day before yesterday, there was no silver available, so I gave away the green jade. I gave away the yellow jade yesterday. If I hadn't met you today, I would have taken out the folding fan first.
Tomorrow we will only be able to sell red and gold jade, and the prices will be very low."
Zhao Xiangyi snorted: "If I had known this, why bother? I used to spend a lot of money, but now I am so poor that I only have two pieces of old jade. If my husband hadn't taken pity on you, you would have starved to death on the streets in a few days.
.”
Wang Bo did not dare to argue with Zhao Xiangyi, and strode forward in a muffled voice. Yang Jiong, condensing his voice into a line as he walked, quietly told Zhao Xiangyi that the jade contained the vitality of heaven and earth.
Before he finished speaking to Xiang Yi, Wang Bo said: "We're here" and stopped.
The street in front of us is busy with traffic and people. It is many times more prosperous than the brothel street in Fancheng. It is the third largest street in the country.
After all, the two big cities are not comparable to the small towns along the river.
Yang Jiong said: "Take me there. It's time for the girls in the brothel to do business. They should all be there."
Wang Boy hummed and led Yang Jiong deeper into Brothel Street.
The brothel we passed in front was splendid and high-end. The further we walked in, the lower the building became, and the beauty of the girl standing at the window became less beautiful than before.
It is estimated that when he first started, he was wealthy and high-spirited, spending money like water in a brothel. When he ran out of money, he began to lower his level, lower and lower, and finally ended up in a low-end place like this.
After walking for a full cup of tea, the brothel in front of me was downgraded a few levels. It was not much worse than the street girls Yang Jiong encountered when he was in Fancheng.
Standing in front of a low tile-roofed house, Wang Bo said: "The yellow one seems to have been given to the woman inside."
Yang Jiong winked at him, and Wang Bo went up to knock on the door. After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing a coat and slip-on shoes opened the door. She saw Wang Bo clearly, and without saying a word, "Bang!"
The door was closed again with a sound.
Wang Bo smiled and said: "Because I didn't have any money to give her yesterday, I used that piece of jade to pay for the expenses. She insisted on asking me to get two pieces of jade and add a folding fan top. I didn't agree, so it was a bit unpleasant. I understand, I understand."
Yang Jiong stepped forward and knocked again. The woman opened the door at noon and was about to get angry, but her eyes lit up when she saw Yang Jiong. Such a handsome and handsome man was so eye-catching that no woman of any age could bear to get angry.
Yang Jiong didn't say anything, but took out a piece of silver, which weighed ten taels. He handed it to the woman and said, "My friend owes you money, and I'm here to help her pay it back. I'll give you these ten taels of silver, and you can give me the yellow piece of silver."
Return the old jade to him."
The middle-aged woman looked surprised, ran back to the room, and then ran out again. What she held in her hand was indeed an old piece of yellow jade. The color was turbid, and even people who didn't understand jade could tell it at a glance.
A piece of inferior, worn-out jade.
After taking this piece of yellow jade, a heavy feeling of heaven and earth energy entered Xiu's body. This feeling was different from the feeling of the red and blue jade in front.
Do jade stones of different colors contain different kinds of vitality of heaven and earth? Are there different kinds of vitality of heaven and earth?
Zhao Xiangyi looked at Wang Bo with disdain and said with a smile: "Master Wang, is this the young, beautiful, poor woman you traveled thousands of miles to give away gold with so much hard work?"
