026: Mystery

Chapter 24 The mysterious Jade Square

The old man looked at Zhang Cong with a smile from the beginning, which made Zhang Cong lose the source of his anger.

After adjusting his mood, Zhang Cong gently brushed off the dust on his body, followed the instructions and bowed to the old man with his fists in hand, and never stopped.

He used spiritual energy to wrap around the heavy wooden box next to him, making it float in front of him. One person and one box stepped into Jade Fang.

Stepping into the store, Zhang Cong looked around and found that there seemed to be nothing extraordinary about the jade shop, and there was nothing surprising about it from those ordinary jade shops.

When you enter the main entrance, you only see a few cabinets on both sides of the main room, which are full of small items such as pearl agate and jade utensils.

But judging from the appearance, these items are just ordinary goods. It seems that these items are not for sale, but more like decoration items.

As soon as Zhang Cong entered Cuiyu Square, a man in yellow clothes standing on both sides walked up to Zhang Cong and whispered: "Sir, please come here."

After saying that, he led the way. Zhang Cong didn't hesitate and followed him.

The two of them walked through the front hall one after another and walked into the backyard. Compared to the shabby front hall, the backyard was much more grand. There were small bridges, running water, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. They walked through the winding and folding flower paths.

, an octagonal pavilion suddenly appeared in front of Zhang Cong.

The pavilion seemed ordinary, but it immediately caught Zhang Cong's attention.

Because the pavilion is only in black and white, it looks like something in a splash-ink landscape painting. I don’t know what material it is made of. It looks like a polyester ink.

When they got here, the guy didn't want to lead Zhang Cong to the pavilion. When the two of them approached the pavilion, they turned around and walked towards another road.

Looking around at this moment, the main room behind him had long been covered by mountains of plants. The two of them walked deeper and deeper, making Zhang Cong suddenly become cautious.

"Maybe he hit the mark. This guy wants to lure me to a remote place, and then let the old monk kill me and take the opportunity to snatch the box in my hand."

Zhang Cong thought of this, and suddenly, a drop of spiritual liquid floated to Zhang Cong's fingers, and the spiritual liquid was instantly refined by Zhang Cong into a cyclone.

The violent spiritual energy swirled wantonly at Zhang Cong's fingertips. If such a cyclone was thrown out, even the old man would definitely not be able to bear it.

While he was thinking about it, he saw the waiter leading Zhang Cong to a small door. He pushed the door open and went in. There were people inside, but it was a different scene.

Facing the two people is a screen. Through the screen, it can be seen that the two people are in a restaurant at the moment. The sound of changing cups and cups comes from behind the screen, which is easy to identify.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the small door, the guy took down Zhang Cong's heavy box floating in the air. Zhang Cong naturally understood and dispersed the aura attached to the box, and at the same time dispersed the whirlwind on his fingertips.

Come on.

The two walked out of the screen and now arrived at a restaurant.

Through the door, Zhang Cong saw clearly that the opposite side was a medicinal herb shop called Sanshengtang. Zhang Cong instantly understood that he was in the Manying Building on the street next to Sanli Long Street.

This Manying Restaurant is a large restaurant in Heilong Town. It is considered a time-honored restaurant in Heilong Town. Although it is not too luxurious, it has all kinds of delicacies.

In the past, Zhang Cong often went to Sanshengtang across the street to sell loose herbs. Passing by Manying Building, he was always fascinated by the various aromas wafting out of it. At this moment, Zhang Cong never expected that the courtyard of Cuiyufang was actually

Connected to Manying Building.

After passing through the diners downstairs, the waiter led Zhang Cong to a staircase with a huge box. After the two went upstairs, the waiter led Zhang Cong into a classy private room with ease.

"Please wait here for a moment, sir. My second shopkeeper will be here shortly."

After saying that, he put down the box in his hand and exited the door. He said something to the waiter who was already waiting at the door. The two of them closed the door and left together.

Zhang Cong was alone in this large private room at the moment, and he didn't have much interest in the furnishings in the room.

At this moment, Xiaohua and Aunt Cuihua have obviously arrived at Shili Changting. The most important thing is that he quickly sells the treasures in the box and sends money to Aunt Cuihua and Xiaohua in time.

Zhang Cong walked to the window, which was close to the street. Although it was already night, the surroundings were bright, because there were more than a dozen brothels and music houses on the long street here, and the streets were full of singing and singing.

sound.

Zhang Cong looked at the bustling lights and feasting here and felt a little disgusted. He left the window, sat on a bench, and poured a cup of tea. Before he started drinking, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

A dozen waiters walked in with a plate of snacks, put down the snacks in their hands, and then left one by one.

Zhang Cong looked at the snacks on the table, but he had no appetite at all, because he was already a monk in the Qi-training stage and could already practice the concept of fasting. It didn't matter whether he ate or not, and he didn't feel hungry at all.

About a quarter of an hour later, the old man arrived belatedly. As soon as he entered the door, the old man laughed twice, clasped his fists at Zhang Cong and said, "I'm sorry, little friend, something happened just now that delayed me for a while.

I have made you wait for so long in vain, and I hope you will forgive me."

"You're welcome, let's get straight to the point."

Zhang Cong stood up and returned the courtesy, then spoke directly.

"My dear friend, you are indeed a heroic person. This is also very good. However, the quantity of stalactites purchased by our Jade Jade Shop this year is already enough. However, I can see that these stalactites are in good condition and are obviously of high quality.

My old man makes the decision on his own, and Cuiyufang is willing to purchase all the stalactites."

After saying that, the old man waved his hand, and two men in yellow clothes walked out from behind the door and lifted the box at the door. However, the old man never glanced at the contents of the box.

Zhang Cong was not surprised at all by this, because with his spiritual consciousness, he could easily see the things in the box clearly. It seems that when he was at the door, the old man used his spiritual consciousness to look at the things carefully.

.

After the two yellow-clothed guys stepped back, the old man turned his hand and touched one of the many pockets hanging around his waist. A thick stack of banknotes suddenly appeared in the old man's hand.

"My friend, this is a two thousand tael in silver note. I will pay you the price of one hundred taels per kilogram for the best quality stalactites on the market. I have collected all the twenty kilograms of stalactites in the box."

After saying that, the silver note in the old man's hand flew into Zhang Cong's face and landed on the table in Zhang Cong's hand. Upon seeing this, Zhang Cong was unambiguous, picked up the silver note on the table and sent it to his waist.

When the banknote came close to a black cloth bag hanging on Zhang Cong's waist, it disappeared immediately.

The old man's eyes focused on the bag on Zhang Cong's waist, and he was filled with surprise. He sighed softly and said: "The storage bag on my waist is actually black. This top-grade storage bag is probably worth a lot of money."

Zhang Cong smiled at the old man

"My worthless things make senior laugh. If there is nothing else, I will take the lead and leave."

When the old man heard this, he stood aside and made way for Zhang Cong.

Zhang Cong didn't stay too long. After walking out of the store, he disappeared into a dark alley. The old man in the store also went to a room next door. As soon as he opened the door of the elegant room, a screen suddenly opened the door.

The house is covered up.

Through the reflection of the candlelight, it could be seen that there was another woman in the room. The old man opened the door, but did not step into it.

"Miss, I have sent him away. He seems to be just an ordinary casual cultivator, nothing special." The old man bowed and said to the room. The people in the room seemed to have a relatively noble status for the old man.

"Elder Mo, thank you for your hard work, but don't let your guard down on this matter. Send some people to follow him carefully.

This person is not just a casual cultivator. I just felt a very powerful wave from him. The wave was only fleeting, but what is certain is that this person has a not simple background."

A very beautiful voice like fairy music came from behind the screen.

If the young man from a wealthy family who bought a piece of soapstone weighing a hundred kilograms a few days ago were here, he would immediately understand that the sound was exactly the same as the one he heard at that time.

Behind the screen is probably the little-known but well-known proprietress behind Cuiyufang.

The landlady had been in the private room next to Zhang Cong just now, and she probably heard the conversation between the old man and Zhang Cong clearly.

The man known as Elder Mo didn't say much, he just bowed towards the screen, closed the door, and left the second floor.
