Volume 1 In 2007, I was given a golden silkworm Gu by my grandmother Chapter 6 Gambling Stone Fair
I looked at this young man with a shallow smile, I hadn't seen him for a year, he seemed to have grown taller, his face had become thinner, he spoke Mandarin, he had a strange pronunciation peculiar to the Japanese, and this attitude was so polite that it was as if we were really old friends, not former enemies - this is the characteristic of some self-proclaimed cultivators, who smile a second before drawing their swords
Resisting the urge to give this guy a trick, I smiled faintly and said I didn't expect you to be in Myanmar, why don't you have bodyguards by your side? If someone beats me up again, that's not good.
Kato Haraji ignored my cynicism, his attention had already shifted to Xue Rui's body, and he looked at it for a few seconds before replying, "I guess you are here not for tourism, but for tomorrow's jade fair, right?" However, I wonder how Duan Tiande could meddle in such a thing? ”
I was stunned for a moment, and the words "Duan Tiande" passed through my mind a few times, and then I realized that it was Uncle Duan, the head snake in Jiangcheng. Miscellaneous Xiaodao once worked under him, and mixed up the prodigal life of nightclubs for a few months for free. Later, Ba Song appeared, and Uncle Duan attacked the miscellaneous hair trail for the sake of the flower demon fruit on the other side. As a result, Ba Song died, and Uncle Duan reconciled with us through the mediation of Senior Brother Miscellaneous Hair.
Since then, we have no contact with that Uncle Duan, and we don't know if the curse that Lu Dao made at the beginning has been fulfilled.
Kato Haraji hadn't seen us for a long time, so he still thought we were messing around with Uncle Duan.
Miscellaneous Xiaodao spoke beside him: "Little rabbit, I haven't seen you for a long time, and it's still so cool." It's just that I don't know if your sister is a little better now? As soon as he finished saying this, the shallow smile hanging on the corner of Kato Waraji's mouth immediately froze, his eyes were like knives, and he poked straight at the face of the miscellaneous hairy Xiaodao, and the young man said coldly: "Thanks to the blessings of the two, my sister has not woken up yet." I've always suspected that you two stole the Dragon's Blood Resurrection Grass, but now I'm even more certain. Hmph, I thought you were just a small character! Really blind. ”
His expression was not sad or happy, there was no remorse at all, faint.
I coughed lightly and said Little brother, you figure it out, we really don't understand what you are talking about Dragon Blood Soul Restoration Grass. Your sister hasn't woken up yet, it's your own relationship, and it doesn't have anything to do with us. Where did you get so much resentment at such a young age? We're just passers-by, you know?
The Japanese kid didn't speak, his eyes shone like broken glass slag, he took a few steps back, and then pointed to me and said "You guys pay attention, I met you in Myanmar this time, if you ruin my business again, don't blame me for being unkind." He walked towards the crowd, and behind him, several men in black with serious faces appeared, with bulging backs, following closely.
Miscellaneous Xiaodao sighed next to me, saying that I knew that Lu Dao's trip must be full of twists and turns, but seeing this kid, I have an ominous premonition.
Xue Rui frowned, saying that she didn't like this sissy, and that she was hypocritical to the extreme.
However, she still reminded us, saying that this short man's body seems to be pregnant with a very strong force, and the form is very similar to Lu Zuoge's fat worm.
She recalls to us, "Although I rarely heard Master talk about the past, there was one thing that he specifically mentioned, and that was the Japanese Onmyoji. Onmyoji originally originated in China, but after being introduced to Japan by mixing Taoist mantras with Esoteric divination, it was combined with local culture to form a unique Onmyoji. The Prince Shotoku of the Tuigu Dynasty formulated the 'Twelve Orders of the Crown' and established the 'Yin-Yang Liao' (equivalent to the Qintianjian of our country), which has both divination, sacrifice, astronomy, calendar, etc., and can be used for everything from the national fortune to the emperor's order and the affairs of the common people. And the person in this liao is the earliest professional onmyoji.
During the Japanese invasion of China, not only did many ronin swordsmen flow in, but also these onmyoji, who also came with the army and surpassed countless innocent souls who died in the war. Some of these people are so powerful that they can even summon and possess wandering souls and creatures in the spirit world, and they have special strength. My master said that many of his brothers and sisters died fighting these onmyoji. This sissy, according to Master's description, gives me the feeling that she should also be an onmyoji. ”
Uncle nodded on the side, saying yes, Japanese onmyoji are indeed very powerful, they will use a technique called "Shikijin" to strengthen themselves, curse, and murder others. To a certain extent, Japan has preserved this culture and knowledge very well, so their overall strength is not inferior to that of China. Although these things have been exaggerated by countless changes in anime and movies, some things are still real. He once fought with a Japanese onmyoji, somewhere in the Tanggula Pass, if it weren't for the masters of his peers, he almost fell on the road.
Xu Ming told us that the guy just now should be a merchant from Japan invited by Myanmar, and it seems that tomorrow's trade fair will be lively.
Because there was an unknown interpreter present, we didn't say anything more and returned to the hotel.
It is worth mentioning that except for the uncle, these two cars are older than all of us.
Miscellaneous Xiaodao found time to tell me that although the Japanese kid didn't explain, I'm afraid I'm going to bump into us again this time. He had just inquired with the manager named Guo Jiaduan, and the trade fair was garrisoned by troops, the news was blocked, and the security was tight, and basically no one could enter. And the stone will be auctioned in the dark market on the second day, and if you want to steal it at that time, I am afraid that it will be too late, and you can only find a way from the person who got it from the auction.
I nodded and said that this was indeed the only way, and then looked at the fat hen next to me and asked, "People can't get in, can't birds go in?" Otherwise, there is a big cat to help us identify it first?
The tiger cat turned around, pointed his butt at us, and scolded a little poison, you landlord and old wealth, you want me to be cannon fodder? Too lazy to hang you! It fluttered its wings, nestled in the bedside table, found its position, closed its eyes, and fell asleep. Miscellaneous Xiaodao also laughed beside him, saying that there must be a master town at that venue, and the tiger cat is indeed a little dangerous to go alone, maybe it will be braised and steamed.
The tiger cat was still talking in his sleep, scolding: "You stupid boys,! ”
********
In the morning, Qin Li came over to wake us up and then went to the early morning trade fair.
The fair venue was not far from the hotel, so we took a bus and arrived at the place very quickly. On the way here, we saw a green barracks next to us, and thin soldiers were standing guard in a state of exhaustion. When I got out of the car, I found that although it was a small trade fair, there were actually quite a lot of people coming, and cars kept coming. There were soldiers standing guard at the door with guns, who were a little more energetic, with guns held high and neat uniforms, apparently the elite of the Burmese army — but still short and thin.
Obviously, as an important pillar of export earnings, the level of escort is also higher.
Li Jiahu has a big face and a wide range of popularity, and as soon as he gets off the car, people keep coming to greet him, greet him, and then talk about some business matters. Boss Gu also did the business of attracting customers with jade, and naturally he also had some familiar friends, Qin Li followed behind, his face radiant. In addition to a few of us in our group, Li Jiahu also brought three bodyguards, two personal secretaries, a chief expert, and personnel from a local trading company. I walked behind with Miscellaneous Xiaodao and Uncle Xiaodao, while Xue Rui was carefully followed by a female bodyguard.
When I walked into the venue, I saw that it was already bustling inside, with yellow and white people, speaking various languages.
As in China, there is always a ceremony at the beginning of the trade fair, and a few guys dressed like people come up to the stage to speak, some give a welcome speech, some explain the rules of the transaction, or others, we neither understand nor care, just try to search for the hidden powerful people. After a while, Miscellaneous Xiaodao stabbed me with his left elbow and gave me a look. I looked in the direction he gave, and saw a middle-aged man with yellow skin sitting cross-legged in the corner of the stage, black and thin, with very long hands, a little weird, and very short hair, like a monk. In front of him, several young men dressed in black were there, covering him.
I only glanced at it, and then he turned his head and met my gaze, which had an eerie blood-red and cold inside.
is a master, could this black and thin man be the guy in Xu Ming's mouth who has practiced flying head and lowered his head to three levels?
I went back to Xu Ming and found that this guy was gone.
At the end of the ceremony, we went straight out of the trading hall and went to the venue where the rough stones were displayed outside.
The venue is made up of a large blue steel shed, just like a large farmer's market in the house, each booth is marked, basically uniform, but there are also several tons of rough stones. Merchants from all over the world who came to participate in the trade fair stopped in front of each booth to discuss, and then wrote down the number and the hidden price in their hearts, and then continued to look for the next target. This used to be one of the most fanatical casinos, where some people got rich overnight, and some people went bankrupt here, and all the results were in the place where the stone was cut, and life and death were decided with a knife.
What is Gambling Stone? The unprocessed jadeite rough is called "wool", also known as stone, its outer skin is wrapped in a thin or thick original stone skin, can not know the quality of the road, must be cut to know the quality of the road, the gambling stone merchant buys the wool, unravels the stone, determines the color, texture and water species, and then sells it, this is the gambling stone.
This thing is highly profitable and risky, and compared with gambling stone transactions, risky transactions such as stocks and real estate are dwarfed by warmth.
I looked at these raw jade mines, which were basically indistinguishable from ordinary stone bumps, and I really couldn't figure out what was contained in them.
I asked Miscellaneous Hairy Dao, don't you know how to look at qi? Take a look at whether there is jade in it, and if there is, if we buy it, won't we make a fortune? Miscellaneous Xiaodao stared at me with the eyes of a country boy, and then asked, "Little poison, have you heard the story of He Shibi?" ”
