Chapter 536 [Grandma Xiong's Candied Chestnuts] (1)
This Pixiu pendant is not jadeite, but has a white jade texture, but is a bit white and green, which feels more like a stone, and the carving is more like an outsider's hand. The knife skills are rough and simple, just like a beginner. Just taking jade pendant, this is a worthless thing, it is simply a street stall product, and it is a scam.
Zhou Yi held this jade Pixiu in his hand, but he felt a burst of joy.
The power of vows is very pure, with only good wishes, but without any personal worship or religious worship. This power of vows flows in the jade Pixiu. A little contact with Zhou Yi's spiritual power makes him feel indescribable comfort, as if through this power of vows, the beautiful and pure heart of the master of vows is like a clear mountain stream.
Originally, when I went to Qicai Kuncheng, I was just traveling and relaxing. I never thought about what I could gain here. Zhou Yi never thought that he would find such a good thing in this supermarket. Obviously, the sales staff in the supermarket did not understand the preciousness of this jade Pixiu. After all, there are not many people in this world who can find the power of will. Even if the monks from the Western Regions come to Yun Province, they may not be able to go to the supermarket to buy things, right?
"Sir, do you like this jade Pixiu? Well, this is a good thing, but we also have a better quality Pixiu. Look at this one, it is a high-quality Hetian white jade, the quality is based on the price, the carving is first-class, and it will appreciate when you buy it. It is a very good investment. It is also the Imperial Green. Now it is the peak tourist season to reward guests. As long as you only eat one and two million. Pixiu is a divine beast that only eats but only enters and cannot be exported. If you buy this Imperial Green Pixiu, you will be sure to have a lot of money."
The female salesman's eyes flashed over Zhou Yi's fire diamond ring again. Such a rich man is not easy to encounter. Of course, she has to push the most expensive Pixiu. As for this jade Pixiu that only bought 5,000 yuan, she automatically ignored it.
"Haha. Imperial Green is good, but I'm more interested in this jade Pixiu. Can you tell me where this jade Pixiu comes from?"
This jade Pixiu is obviously not produced by Qicai Kuncheng Company, nor is it like it is made by a qualified jade craftsman. Zhou Yi is very curious and cautious. If you have such a pure and quiet vow, you are afraid that the way you come from is not simple. If you involve any sect organization again, it will be too troublesome. Zhou Yi is not afraid, he just wants to figure it out.
"Uh. Sir, is asking about this jade Pixiu?"
The beautiful salesperson sighed. Five thousand yuan is also a business. Customers can’t help but answer: “This is sold to us by a customer. The manager saw that this thing is worth a few more money, so he bought it.”
"Oh? What kind of customer is the one sold to you?" Zhou Yi became more and more curious.
"Sir, please stop asking. If you want to buy this jade Pixiu, I will issue an invoice for you." The beautiful salesperson's eyes flashed a little. This jade Pixiu was originally sold to them by famous thieves nearby, and the supermarket could not afford to offend this gentleman who was very skilled in stealing skills. They didn't expect that they would disturb the customers in Qicai Kuncheng, so they had to buy his stolen goods. This kind of thing cannot be stated explicitly.
"Haha, since it's hard to say, I won't ask." Zhou Yi nodded with a smile: "Five thousand yuan, right? Then open it."
"Wait a minute, I want this jade Pixiu."
A skinny, chicken-skinned and crane-haired hand suddenly reached out from the side and took the jade Pixiu from Zhou Yi's hand. Zhou Yi wanted to teach the other party a lesson. Seeing that this hand that should belong to the old man, he hesitated for a moment, but was snatched by the other party.
"Old man, you are"
The one who snatched the jade Pixiu was an old lady in her sixties, with a black cloth wrapped around her head, dressed like a Han or a Han, and said she was a minority, but she had no ethnic characteristics, she was short and thin, dark in skin, but her eyes were very clear and bright, just like the bright eyes of an eighteen-year-old girl being placed on the old woman.
The eyes are the windows of the soul. People with such a pair of eyes will not be bad people no matter what. They can naturally develop a close heart. Zhou Yi can see clearly that this old man is not a martial arts master, a Xuanmen monk, but an ordinary old man.
So he was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Old man, do you also like this jade Pixiu?" Liu Xu also poked him: "Brother Yi, don't argue with the old man, we don't lack a jade Pixiu."
"I'm sorry, young man, and this good girl, it's an old woman who is rude."
The old lady blushed, and her black and thin face suddenly turned purple: "You saw this jade Pixiu first. According to the principle, you should buy it, but"
"Haha, let me guess, is it the old man who knows the maker of this jade Pixiu?" Zhou Yi could see clearly that after the old man got the jade Pixiu, his eyes were not only filled with excitement, but also nostalgia for the past. This was not something that could be pretended.
"Yes, this jade Pixiu was lost. I have been looking for it for a long time. Now it has finally been retrieved. Young man, please give it to me, okay?" The old lady hugged the jade Pixiu tightly, as if she was holding her own relatives, for fear that it would be stolen.
"Of course, I can see that this jade Pixiu is very important to you."
Zhou Yi nodded.
"Thank you, young man, thank you." The old lady quickly asked the salesperson to issue an invoice, pay the bill, and leave. She walked in a hurry, as if she was afraid that Zhou Yi would regret it. Zhou Yi looked at her back and shook her head and smiled. The pure willpower in the jade Pixiu is very rare and should be very useful to him. However, facing such an old man, he was unwilling to fight for it, which was an insult to the maker of the jade Pixiu.
"Let's go too, go to Shilin to have a look, then go to the Shankong Castle, go back to the hotel to sleep, and have to catch a train tomorrow morning." Zhou Yi stretched out his arm and asked Liu Xu to hold his hand. His mood quickly calmed down. He did not be happy with things or greedy. This world is very realistic and emotional. It is not a martial arts world where you fight for good things when you see good things.
Liu Xu held Zhou Yi's hand, but recalled the image of the old man in his mind. He always felt that he had seen her somewhere, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was actually an ordinary person. This feeling was very strange.
***
The Baitou Village that Zhou Yi and the others were going to is located in the area of Lili Autonomous Prefecture of Nujiang. It is located in the vast primeval forest east of Nujiang and north of Tengchong. It has a good natural environment and a harsh living environment. There is no direct train from Kuncheng. You have to take the train to Dali first, then go to Dabao Expressway, turn to Provincial Highway S228 at the end of Dabao Expressway, drive two hundred kilometers northward and leave the provincial road and enter Gongshan. At this time, there are no buses entering the primeval forest area. You can continue to go deeper unless you drive by yourself or look for local tourist buses.
Baitou Village where the children are located is at the deepest point of the tourism line of the Gongshan Primitive Forest. Usually, even the tourist buses rarely go deeper. In recent years, the tourist route has gradually been broadened. Baitou Village, an ancient village hidden deep in the primeval forest, has appeared before the world. People were surprised to find that this was actually a multi-ethnic village. Many Han people moved here in the last century to avoid wars. They have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for generations, hunting fish and farming fields, and rarely contacting the outside world.
They are different from the hermits in Zhongnan Mountain. Most of them enter the mountains to practice to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city and pursue breakthroughs in life and spirit. They are indeed born in the mountains and are used to slow-paced life. It has become a luxury to get out of the mountains. Even if they barely go out, it may be a disaster.
When the super slow train arrived in Dali, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Yi wanted to get a four-wheel drive car and drove it by himself, but he didn't know the road to Baishi Village, and he couldn't even find the key points on GPS. If you want to take a bus and a tourist bus, you might have to waste time. Finally, you just ran to the car rental market in Dali to book a dilapidated Wrangler and a handsome Bai man driver. The negotiated price was 800 yuan to send them to the intersection between Provincial Highway 228 and Enshan Road. It is said that when you get there, there will be a special car to send people into the mountain. Those drivers are familiar with the mountain roads and can ensure the absolute safety of customers.
This Bai tribe Ah Hei Ge is not only black, but also fat, with a gentle personality and warms the bed. He is the most rational dream lover of the Golden Flowers, and is also a recognized handsome guy in the Dali area. The handsome guys are always proud and good at talking, but they are not lonely along the way. With the sound of music and chatting, Zhou Yi and the others successfully arrived at the entrance of the mountain called "Dulongling". The dragon pointed to the winding mountain road entering Gongshan. Dulong said that he entered the mountain from here, and it was a road in Huashan since ancient times, and he had no choice.
Zhou Yi originally wanted Brother Hei to send them directly to Baitou Village, and the money for the car was not a problem. But the handsome Bai tribe looked at the winding yellow dirt road in front of him and the bumps on the road and shook his head. The width of this road was barely enough for the minibus to enter, but the difficulties on the road were not something he, as an "outside driver", could handle. Between money and life safety, he finally chose safety first.
"Brother Ah Hei, I suggest you stay at the small inn in Dulongling for one night. It's already afternoon. The tourist bus will only be available tomorrow. You can take a ride with a few small money. If you are really anxious, go find those 'mountain fleas'. Their cars are good and they have experience in driving in the primitive forests. They can ensure safety, but the price is a little expensive, but I think you are a rich man and should not care."
The handsome Bai tribe was very thoughtful in service. He gently rejected Zhou Yi and pointed out two options to enter the mountain. After taking over Zhou Yi's car money, he jumped into the accelerator.
"I don't need to inspect this place, it's definitely enough to be qualified. I'll call Cheng Dong and ask the company to send someone to see it as soon as possible."
Looking at the road in front of him, Zhou Yi smiled bitterly.
"Brother Hei, should we stay for a night before leaving, or look for those 'mountain fleas'?" Liu Xu also laughed. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
