Chapter 217 Jian Chi Takes Action
If they didn't understand at first, after the explanation of the waiter, they looked at each other and smiled.
Don't look at them pretending to be masters. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are all low-level seventh- and eighth-grade goods.
Because their cultivation is not high, their main task in Bianzhou is to get information. Who knows that there will be news on the second day.
As long as they bring the jade back, they will definitely be respected by the sect leader.
So one of them was quick-witted and grabbed the white jade before the others could react, "Boss, how much silver is this jade?"
The shopkeeper's mouth twitched. Seeing the fierce look of these people, let alone making money, it would be good if they didn't lose money!
"Two... two hundred taels."
Two hundred taels? !
The man holding the white jade was a little surprised. It's not that he didn't have two hundred taels, but he didn't bring them with him. There were not many opportunities to go out, and he was just out to get information. Wouldn't it be stupid to bring two hundred taels?
"You can't afford to pay, right?" The other man was still blaming himself for being too slow. Now that the opportunity had come, he certainly wouldn't miss it.
"I want two hundred taels!"
Two silver notes fluttered down on the table, and then he stretched out his hand to the person who had come before him, "Give it here. You have no money but you pretend to be rich. I think this small family is really poor!"
"What are you talking about!" The man holding the jade put his hands behind his back, took two steps back, and looked at the person who was speaking with burning eyes.
His voice immediately attracted the attention of others. The door of the pawnshop was soon surrounded by people watching the excitement, and even many windows in the restaurant were opened.
The person who gave the money didn't want to cause trouble, so he lowered his voice and said, "I paid the money, can't I take the things away?"
"Are you trying to take it by force? Or do you plan to occupy it and not give it back?"
"Did I say I don't buy it? Buying things should also be based on first come first served!" As he said this, a silver ingot was thrown in front of the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, this fifty taels is a deposit. I'll be back soon."
The shopkeeper held silver in one hand and banknotes in the other. Facing the two people's cannibalistic eyes, he felt that it was not appropriate to sell to anyone, so he had to sit in a chair and pretend to be dead.
"Hahaha, ridiculous! I paid the full amount, and you want to win two hundred taels with fifty taels?"
"Give it to me!" The man's internal energy was already running.
More and more people came, and he didn't want to lose the opportunity by leaking the news. After all, the sect he belonged to was not small, but it was not that big.
Especially compared with the famous sects, it was a small witch meeting a big witch.
"Let's do it, right?" The man holding the white jade pinned it on his waist, got ready, and his internal energy flowed.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and the previous person took the lead, flipping his palms like wind blowing willow leaves. The man with the white jade pinned on his waist also slapped a few palms.
The two performed their own moves, all together.
The people in the restaurant were wondering how a fight could break out over buying something. There wasn't only one item in the pawnshop.
"Why did they fight?"
"Who knows... No, go, bring the waiter up."
Soon someone upstairs jumped down and dragged the waiter upstairs. After the waiter's words, the people upstairs couldn't hold back.
"Put down the white jade!"
"I want it from Tingyu Pavilion!"
"Tingyu Pavilion? I've never heard of it. Such treasures must belong to my Yinyue Villa!"
......
The people argued endlessly and soon turned into a fight. The internal energy in the field was so strong that many onlookers retreated, fearing that they would be innocently affected.
When the groups were fighting to the point of being in a mess and unable to separate, a wisp of true energy floated from afar, and an ancient sword fell in the middle of the crowd, abruptly stopping the fight.
A man in white clothes as white as snow floated beside the sword, pulled out the ancient sword, and said softly but with great certainty, "Where's the jade? Bring it here, Jian Chi wants it."
After the words fell, everyone in the venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Unexpectedly, Jian Chi was the first to make a move.
The man who had finally got the white jade with great difficulty looked at the white jade reluctantly, engraved it in his heart, and just wanted to turn around, the tip of the sword was already against his throat.
"Give it to me, or I will kill you."
The true energy circulated on the sword, and there was already a blood mark on the man's neck. He took out the white jade with trembling hands, and the white jade in his hand disappeared in an instant.
After getting the white jade, the Jian Chi man did not stay for long, and disappeared on the spot while the true energy was flowing.
The people who were left with a white joy looked at each other, full of disappointment, especially the two who paid the silver, who now wanted to kill.
This is not just losing the wife and the army.
Soon they reacted and walked towards the city gate impatiently. Since they couldn't get the jade, it would be a great achievement to pass the news back as soon as possible.
The Jianghu people dispersed, leaving only the onlookers staring at each other, patting their chests and sighing.
"Oh, these people, why are they dying for a piece of jade? Are the Jianghu people so poor?"
"What are you talking about? These are all disciples of the sect, why can't they take out 200 taels?"
Someone retorted, "Why do they have to fight to the death? Will the shopkeeper not sell it if you add money?"
The shopkeeper, sweating profusely, slammed the table, isn't that the truth! He just wants to make money, add money!
"You are stupid, if you can go to heaven and earth, you will rob more than them."
"Hahaha."
......
Soon the big and small sects received the secret letter, and the news that the Bu Tian Bao Jing appeared in Bianzhou again spread quietly.
"It must be a deception! It must be a deception!"
"It shouldn't be that he appeared in Bianzhou twice... Maybe he didn't leave Bianzhou!"
The two views were debated endlessly in the big and small sects. If it appeared for the first time, they could still just try it out. But for the second time, with a big sect like Jianchi involved, they had to deal with it cautiously.
Whether to go or not is not the problem, the problem is how many to go? The big sect sent a top three rank, they can't just send a seventh or eighth rank to deliver food, right?
Finally, after some discussion, they made a difficult decision: a top three rank led the team, and the rest were as usual.
But the big sects were different. Some of the first to receive the news were hesitant.
For them, the real worry was not these small sects, but Jianchi's action.
Since Jianchi, a sect that had the Bu Tian Bao Jing, took action, it meant that it was 100% true, but they had to fight to the end.
Some people were unwilling.
In Chang'an Lantuo Temple, Master Baoshu sat quietly and recited Buddhist scriptures.
He had heard about what happened in Bianzhou, so he was confused. The temptation to enter the Grand Master was too great, and he couldn't stay out of it.
He kept twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand, and he had recited the Buddhist scriptures several times, but there was still no change.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a little monk came in, performed a Buddhist ceremony, and said, "Master, someone from Kuchan Temple is waiting in the front hall. Do you want to see them?"
Kuchan Temple? What are they doing here? Baoshu was confused, but he still waved his hand and said, "Bring them in."
