Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 213: Food Merchant
Tong Qizhen thought about it for a whole day in the secret room, but didn't understand why the Yellow Sky Stone disappeared. Just when he was thinking about how to deal with Wu Mian and the others, He Huan's voice sounded outside the door again: "Three shifts, quicksand..."
He only went out for three or four hours, and what did he do when he came back without his own advice? After Tong Qizhen frowned slightly, he reached out and picked up a small porcelain bottle on the table and hid it in his sleeve. Then he said: "Jing Zhe and Frost, didn't they let you go to Yaoshan? Why did you go and come back?"
He Huan said: "The disciple went to Youzhou to prepare first, and heard a great news there... There is a big food merchant selling Huangtian Stone in Youzhou, and the disciple did not dare to delay, so he hurried I'm busy coming back and wanting to report to Master."
"Huang Tianshi appeared in Youzhou?" Tong Qizhen was stunned for a moment, this seemed like a trap set for him. I just lost a piece of Yellow Sky Stone yesterday, and another piece appeared in Youzhou so soon? The genius treasure that I have been looking for for so many years and have not been found is now openly sold as a commodity. It all seemed suspicious.
"Yes, in order to confirm the news, the disciple also went to see the food merchant in person. In the name of checking the goods, he checked the piece of Huangtian Stone with his own eyes, compared to the piece that was lost yesterday. What the disciple saw was quite large. More than double." He Huan seemed a little excited when he said this. Then he took out a rubbing with a stone texture from his arms, and then continued: "This is a rubbing made by the disciple of the Caliphate merchant, and it is completely different from the one yesterday."
When He Huan was talking, Tong Qizhen had already taken the rubbing and read it carefully. Unfortunately, after all, it is only a rubbing, and the original appearance of the main body cannot be seen. However, looking at the shape and texture, it is indeed very different from the piece from yesterday. The piece of rubbing was more than double the size of the missing piece.
Tong Qizhen inquired carefully about the details of this Huangtian Stone from his disciples, and from He Huan's answer, it did not seem like he was manipulated by Wu Mian's illusion. At first, he thought that this was the piece of Yellow Sky Stone that was stolen from the home as bait, but now it seems that He Huanjian got another piece of Yellow Sky Stone. That is to say, there is really a second Yellow Sky Stone...
"The Caliphate businessman asked ten thousand gold to sell the Yellow Sky Stone, Master, do you want to go and have a look?" Seeing Tong Qi's heart shaking, He Huan continued: "Originally, the disciple thought about stealing the Yellow Sky Stone. , but I'm afraid that after the big incident, Wu Mian will be disturbed and they will not be returned. Then I came back and asked Master to decide..."
"When did that Persian merchant start selling Huang Tianshi? Are you sure this is Huang Tianshi?" Although this is a great good thing, Tong Qizhen still suspects that this is a plan made by Wu Mian and whether he will return or not. . If he didn't ask clearly, he wouldn't dare to venture to Youzhou.
"There is no doubt that the disciple dares to use a human head to guarantee that it is Huang Tianshi." Having said this, He Huan paused for a while, and then continued: "The disciple understands that the food merchant arrived in Youzhou early this morning, and it is estimated that there will be another ten days and a half months. If it is, I am afraid that this Huang Tianshi has already been bought. Fortunately, Youzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Northerners at this time, and the news has not yet spread. If it was in Bianliang, the capital of Song Dynasty, it would have attracted countless monks at this time."
"The time is suspicious...the location is even more suspicious..." Tong Qizhen shook his head and continued to He Huan: "We just lost a piece of Yellow Sky Stone yesterday, and it appeared in Youzhou today. And the food merchants are good at calculating. , why is such a treasure not shipped to Bianliang for sale, but sold in the poor country of Liao? Since ancient times, it has been sold to people who know the family. What is he? Even if this big food merchant really has another piece of Huangtianshi, then It's still too suspicious..."
He Huan hesitated for a moment after listening to his Master's words, and then continued: "Otherwise, I'll take a trip on your behalf, Master, and it's only a thousand taels of gold. Even if something goes wrong, it's just that the disciple is caught in the game."
"If this is a plan set up by Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, how could that Dashi merchant sell Huang Tianshi to you?" Tong Qizhen shook his head again, and then continued: "As long as you raise the price To a point where you simply can't accept it..."
He Huan hesitated after hearing Shizun's words, and then continued: "Then... it's better to ignore that piece of Yellow Sky Stone, and pretend that the food businessman has never appeared."
"That might be a missed opportunity..." Tong Qizhen still shook his head, and then he let out a long breath. He said to He Huan: "Now that there is news of Huang Tianshi, even if it is really Longtan Tiger's Den, we will have to venture into it. This is our last chance, if we miss it, we will have nothing. He Huan, I have five more deposits in Luoyang. Ten thousand taels of gold. You go and take it out, and then come to Youzhou to find me."
Seeing that the masters around him still go to Youzhou in the end, he hurriedly used the escape method to go to Luoyang to prepare the gold. After watching He Huan leave again, Tong Qizhen turned around several times in the secret room. After thinking about the most difficult situation, I went to hide a few more porcelain vases all over my body.
Because he couldn't use his magic in front of such great cultivators as Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, he simply didn't bring any magic weapon.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Tong Qizhen first hid his figure and aura, and walked around in front of the shop of the big food merchant. Then he stayed in an inn not far from the shop, and on the next day, he changed his identity and went in to test the reaction of the food businessman.
On the same night, another group of Dashi caravan came from a long way to Youzhou City. In order to entertain his comrades, the owner of Huang Tianshi called for a banquet at the last restaurant in Youzhou City. He entertained his compatriots in the shop.
Hearing the noise in the shop, Tong Qizhen didn't know what nightmare happened inside. Worrying about what would happen to the Huangtian Stone, he immediately hid his figure and sneaked into the shop.
When I came in, I found that these big food businessmen were sitting in a circle, sitting cross-legged in a circle. They also invited dancers to sing and dance to cheer up the fun, and when the food and drink are on the rise, the food merchants have to sing and dance in person. When Tong Qizhen was still in the Xu Fu fleet, he once rescued several cannibals who fell into the sea because of a shipwreck.
Although these people will take good care of themselves on the ship, and later return to Dashi with the Surabaya ship, Tong Qizhen still took advantage of these opportunities to learn a lot of Dashi's language. Although he can't understand every sentence, he can still understand what these cannibals are saying. It is nothing more than some secrets in the country of Caliphate, just when Tong Qizhen felt that it was meaningless and was about to leave here and go back to rest. Suddenly I heard a few words from the food merchants led by the caravan, and then these merchants drove the dancers away. Then they took out the boxes behind them and put them in front of the merchants.
Tong Qizhen understood what these cannibals wanted to do, and they were exchanging the rare treasures they brought. Most of the merchants brought gold and jade utensils, spices, etc., and it was the turn of the food merchant who just proposed. He came out of a pair of fluorescent night pearls from the mask in his arms.
This night pearl is the size of a thumb, and the food businessman ordered the candle to be extinguished. In the dark, Ye Mingzhu emitted a faint light, and then the candle was lit again. These food merchants applauded. This made the food businessman who was the owner of the shop a little bit unable to come to the stage. Now he went to the cellar in the backyard in person and came back with a brocade box.
In front of his compatriots, the owner of the shop opened the brocade box, revealing a yellow stone half the size of his face inside. Seeing this stone, Tong Qizhen, who was peeking at it, squinted his eyes on the spot. Inside the box was the Huang Tianshi he was thinking about.
These Caliphate merchants are all knowledgeable and exclaimed when they saw such a large piece of Yellow Sky Stone. At the moment, there are still people who want to reach out and touch, but are stopped by the owner of the shop. Do not allow your compatriots to touch this legendary treasure.
