“What will happen if I pawn my integrity?”
Ye Qing asked, this is the crux of the problem.
Zhu Ling replied: "If the distinguished guest pawns with integrity, he will become indifferent to right from wrong, good from evil, and will kill as he pleases."
"Yes, I understand." Ye Qing nodded and asked, "What will happen if I pawn my family ties?"
Zhu Ling smiled and said: "If a distinguished guest pawns family affection, he will lose all feelings towards his relatives. To you, your relatives will be like strangers. Of course, this will not affect your normal life. You may lose the fetters of family ties. , will your distinguished guests live a more chic life?"
Ye Qing asked doubtfully: "Then what if I am an orphan and have no relatives?"
Zhu Ling smiled softly: "There is none now, but there will always be in the future. Your wife and your children are all your relatives. Of course, if you don't marry for the rest of your life, we will take the same value from you at our discretion. s things."
In short, just don’t do loss-making trading.
Ye Qing nodded, indicating that he understood, and said by analogy: "Pawning love means that you can't get love and feel love; pawn friendship means that you can no longer feel friendship; wait."
Zhu Ling nodded.
Ye Qing thought for a while and continued: "What about dreams and the future?"
Zhu Ling simply replied: "If you pawn your dream, you will lose the motivation to make progress and be content with the status quo; if you pawn the future, your life will always stay in the present, unchanged and calm."
Ye Qing frowned slightly. Zhu Ling put it simply, or in other words, the other party was always avoiding the important and neglecting the negative impact of losing a certain emotion. However, the impact of losing these things is undoubtedly huge.
If a certain emotion is missing, will a person still be a complete human being?
Without dreams, what is the difference between being a salted fish?
Without the future, what is the meaning of life?
Moreover, once you encounter any problems in the future, you will once again look forward to shortcuts and return to Pawn Shop No. 8 to continue pawning things in exchange for things. Human greed and desire are endless. Once you taste something If you are sweet, you will make further progress, you may climb higher and higher step by step, or you may go to the abyss step by step and sink forever.
Perhaps, one day in the future, when you have nothing to pawn, you will pawn your soul to the devil!
After figuring out the joints, Ye Qing visualized the picture of Emperor Xi riding a chariot in the sea of consciousness, keeping his mind clear, and continued to ask: "Then look at me, what can I pawn?"
A friendly smile appeared on Zhu Ling's face. She was not afraid that the other party would not be fooled, because human greed, laziness and desire are always endless.
"There are many things that distinguished guests can pawn, such as integrity, friendship, intelligence, conscience, longevity, martial arts talent, seven emotions and six desires, etc."
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that I still have so many good things. Don't you tell me that I haven't discovered it yet!" Ye Qing was slightly excited, and the corners of his mouth turned up: "I feel like I can get a lot of things in exchange?"
The smile on Zhu Ling's face became more earnest and warm: "Then what does your distinguished guest want to pawn in exchange for the Moonstone?"
Ye Qing replied: "Of course...money."
"Money?" Zhu Ling was stunned: "Aren't you going to pawn the above things?"
Ye Qing said matter-of-factly: "Of course, of course I want to keep such a good thing for myself. Why should I pawn it?"
Zhu Ling: "..." Are all my previous words in vain?
Zhu Ling persuaded: "Moonstone pith is an extremely rare spiritual material. If you want to exchange it with gold and silver, the price will definitely be high. Have you thought clearly?"
"In fact, in our No. 8 Pawn Shop, compared to tangible things such as gold and white, intangible things such as emotions are more valuable. Guests only need to pay a small price to exchange for what they need. Why not Woolen cloth?"
"Then I can't even pawn!" Ye Qing said matter-of-factly: "Besides, I'm not short of money!"
Rich and willful.
Zhu Ling was a little confused, why did he become more stubborn the more he persuaded her?
Ye Qing was not in a hurry to pay, but asked: "Although you said that No. 8 Pawnshop is a good boy, but why do I think you won't cheat me and deliberately raise the value of the Moonstone and belittle my business?" The value of the thing pawned?”
Zhu Ling had given up persuading Ye Qing and waved his hand. A strange creature that looked like a colorful sacred deer appeared in the No. 8 pawnshop. However, the strange creature that looked like a sacred deer had a scale on its back. It looks quite strange.
"Pinglu?" Ye Qing blurted out subconsciously.
"Yes, it's Pinglu!" Zhu Ling replied: "You can rest assured now."
Ye Qing nodded. The so-called Pinglu is a very special kind of monster. Pinglu is extremely powerful, but it will not actively attack humans or other monsters. It has a gentle temper and likes to help humans weigh items and trade fairly.
However, once encountering unfair transactions or fraud, Pinglu will get angry and the scale on his back will tilt. At that time, Pinglu will dismember the person who violates the fair transaction bit by bit and place it on one end of the scale until the scale returns to normal. Only when the two ends are even, Ping Lu will stop and calm down his anger.
Therefore, the flat deer is also called the fair deer by merchants and others, and is often carved on the steelyard to show the fairness of transactions.
The flat deer in front of you has colorful fur, as if it were dotted with stars; the deer's antlers are surrounded by auspicious clouds, and its eyes are lively. The scale behind it exudes colorful auspicious light, which is mysterious and unpredictable.
Obviously, it is real and not an illusion created by Zhu Ling.
"Then let's start the transaction!" As he said that, Zhu Ling placed the Yue Jian Stone Marrow in a tray behind Ping Lu, and the scale tilted slightly.
Seeing this, Ye Qing first took out 50,000 taels of snowflake silver notes and placed them in the tray on the other side. However, when the 50,000 taels of snowflake silver were placed on it, the scale barely moved at all, which frightened Ye Qing's heart. Stopped.
Originally, he didn't think the tilt of the scale was serious, and thought that the moon-seeing stone marrow wouldn't cost him much. Who would have thought that fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver were put on it, and not even a splash of water appeared. It was too scary.
Fifty thousand taels of snowflake silver was almost half of his money, so even if he put the other half in, it would probably be useless.
It seems that in Pawn Shop No. 8, yellow and white items are indeed the least valuable.
Ye Qing did not continue to waste his snowflake silver, but added to the tray the things he had just collected from four vendors. Most of those things he did not recognize, and he did not know whether they were valuable, so he might as well throw them away. Just go up and try it. Anyway, it takes up space in Shanhe Berry, and it's not of much value to him. He took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of it.
Ye Qing didn't put them away one by one. Since he chose to show off, he had to start and end. It was too petty to put them out one by one, so he dumped all the things he thought were worthless into the tray.
The tray seemed small and the space was limited, but when he poured hundreds of things on it, it did not fall down, as if the tray contained endless space.
Mustard seeds hide Sumeru.
When Ye Qing put the things in, the five-colored divine light slowly lit up on Ping Lu's antlers. The light was soft, gentle, and mysterious. The multi-colored light lasted for a while, and then in Ye Qing's surprised eyes, a small amount of the things were removed from the tray. He threw it out and landed in front of Ye Qing.
Ye Qing was stunned, not knowing why, but he saw Zhu Ling chuckle: "Dear guest, those are worthless waste."
After eliminating the worthless things, the balance on Ping Lu's back began to tilt slowly, but in the end it was still a little bit off.
"Dear guest, it seems that's not enough." Zhu Ling smiled proudly.
Ye Qing was not in a hurry, and after thinking about it, he put all the useless tricks and secrets on his body, such as the skinning knife, the deceased's shroud, the bones of the dead, "Iron Smelting Hand", "Dengping Ping Floating Water", etc., into the scale.
As these things are added, the scales slowly begin to level out.
However, Ye Qing didn't notice that when he put in the skinning knife, the deceased's shroud, the bones and other strange tools, the candle spirit beside him had a strange smile on his face, and the candles on the ebony shelf shook together, showing a strange look. of light.
"Jiejie, you are dead."
Looking at the slowly leveling scales, the smile on Zhu Ling's face became brighter and her heart became more and more proud. She used her special ability to cover up the true value of those artifacts. Ping Lu hated falsification the most, so she couldn't help it. A fair deal. Once Pinglu discovers that there is something wrong with those artifacts, he will definitely think that Ye Qing is cheating and take action against him. Whether he severely injures Ye Qing or kills him directly, it will be a big deal for Pawn Shop No. 8. There is a hundred benefits and no harm.
If Ye Qing is seriously injured, he will definitely need treatment. Being in a strange city with many dangers and not allowed to leave before time is up, if he chooses to leave with serious injuries, it is no different from committing suicide. Then Ye Qing's only choice is to fight with No. 8 The pawn shop reopened the deal and treated the injuries, and when the time came, she would get what she wanted.
If the opponent is killed directly by Pinglu, then it is even simpler. His soul will directly belong to the No. 8 pawnshop.
Simply perfect!
Thinking of this, Zhu Ling couldn't help but laugh out loud. In fact, she had used this method to deceive many people, and the souls of those people, without exception, are now in Pawn Shop No. 8.
Ye Qing was completely unaware of the upcoming danger, but looked at the scales that were about to be leveled, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
But at this moment, the strange scripture in his arms suddenly emitted a burst of faint light, and a silver dragon and snake rune slowly disappeared.
The moment the dragon and snake runes disappeared, lines of text automatically appeared on the Sutra:
Zhu Ling was teased by Ye Qing and refused to let it go. So he used his natural ability to secretly conceal the true value of Ye Qing's trading items in an attempt to arouse Ping Lu's anger, kill Ye Qing and collect Ye Qing's soul.
However, he got carried away with his pride and was unable to survive his own misfortune. When Zhu Ling was secretly proud of himself, he accidentally leaked a trace of his breath and was discovered by Ping Lu.
Pinglu was furious and killed Zhu Ling immediately.
When the four words "Kill Zhu Ling" appeared, they slowly disappeared, as if they could not bear the power of fate. But just when the four words were about to disappear, the remaining sixteen silver dragons on the Sutra appeared. The snake runes all emitted dazzling silver light, and six silver dragon and snake runes collapsed and disappeared.
As the six silver dragon and snake runes disappeared, the four words that were about to disappear reappeared, as solid as before, and as red as blood:
"Kill Zhu Ling!!!"
