The journey from West Market to Jishi Pawnshop was not far, but because there were too many people on the street, it took more than a cup of tea.
When Li Huan appeared at the gate of Huaiyuanfang on horseback, he happened to see a carriage driving out from there.
Neither of them noticed each other and just passed each other among the crowd.
Not long after, Li Fan and Yang Yan arrived in front of Jishi Pawnshop.
"What? The West Market is so lively, but it's so deserted when you come here."
"A place like a pawn shop, to be exaggerated, has not been open for three years, and it has been open for three years. It is natural for it to be deserted."
"You must be saying that because business is not going well."
Yang Ju was obviously doubtful.
While he was talking, Xue An, who was accompanying him, had already stepped forward to say hello. Chaofeng and Zhao Chaofeng hurriedly came out with expressions of surprise on their faces.
"Why did the young marquis come here? I hope you will forgive me for missing you from afar."
"You two are welcome, I just came over to take a look."
Unconsciously, his shoulders sank, and Yang Ju had climbed to the top of his head.
"Meow!"
She pretended to shout and urged Li Chuan to get up.
Li Ao coughed dryly and said, "How is business lately? Have you received anything good?"
The two of them looked away from his head and said with joy on their faces: "It's really a coincidence. I just received a nice jade carving. I guess it must have some origins."
"We are planning to send it to our house as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift."
"oh?"
Hearing such a coincidence, Li Fan suddenly became interested, so he asked the two courtiers to take out the jade carving and have a look.
As a result, when the palm-sized, lifelike jade sculpture of a male monkey appeared in front of his eyes, Li Ao suddenly felt as if his eyes were burned by fire, stinging slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the eye to see the true Dharma was stimulated to open on its own.
He saw that there were blue and white air currents intertwined in it, like mist hanging on it, adding an indescribable pearlescent quality to it.
Anyone who sees it will have the idea that this thing should be a valuable treasure and its value will never be low.
Exotic treasure (male monkey statue)
"A strange derivative carved from an exotic treasure (Jie Yu Dao), capable of harboring evil spirits (Jade Spirits)."
"When the caster chants a special spell, this object will release the stored evil spirit (jade spirit) and be driven by it."
"The male monkey statue... Jie Jade Sword, the evil jade spirit!"
Li Fan felt excited and asked quickly: "Where did you get this thing? Why did it have to be sent to the house?"
"A young woman came here with an old woman just now. Judging from her filial piety, she must have encountered an accident and needed cash urgently, so we accepted it."
"This treasure has a very good meaning. The Marquis will definitely like it. If the young Marquis doesn't dislike it, you might as well take it over for us and donate it to the Marquis in your name."
Li Chuan was speechless for a moment.
The probability of receiving an exotic treasure after buying various objects in a pawn shop is actually very low. The other party was kind-hearted, and he had no way to blame him. He could only find an excuse and said: "I have seen this thing before, it is a familiarity." It’s something in someone’s home, its origin… I’m afraid it’s a bit taboo!”
"Breaking a taboo?"
When the two court officials heard this, they froze immediately.
They were really shocked. They thought that the man in the family had to sell off the ancestral treasure because of illness or other natural or man-made disasters. However, they did not expect that it was very likely that the prisoner had his house confiscated by the court and hid it secretly. Got something.
In that case, it is really taboo for this item that should have been confiscated to appear here.
"Then...what should we do?"
Li Ao didn't need to say anything. The two court officials had already figured out a lot of troubles.
"It doesn't matter. I'll take this thing with me. I'll settle the accounts normally and I'll let my father know."
Li Fan's words immediately reassured the two court officials.
Then Li Fan personally drew up the deposit and settled the accounts, giving them a reassurance.
During this process, he carefully inquired about the specific circumstances of the visitor.
"Old woman, domestic servant..."
At this time, Xue An suddenly muttered: "Could it be the carriage we met at the gate of the square before?"
"At the entrance of the square?" Wang Chaofeng took a guess and agreed, "Based on the time, we shouldn't have gone far yet.
If Mr. Marquis, you came all the way and didn't stop anywhere else, you might indeed meet him at the gate of the square. "
Without saying a word, Li Fan immediately rushed out of the door, mounted his horse and galloped away.
"Little Marquis..."
Eunuch Lu and Xue An shouted at the same time, only to see Li Fan disappear in the blink of an eye.
Yang Yan, who was squatting on his head, grabbed his bun tightly and cursed: "Oh, Li Fan, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"
"Don't make trouble. The two people they just talked about may be the 'Jade Girl' Qiao Ruobing and her companion 'Yi Po Po'!" Please download the latest content of the app Aiyue App
"How do you know?" Yang Yan asked in surprise, "Have you really seen that statue? It can't be all jade carvings, just what she has in her hand, right?"
"It's hard to say the specific reason, but my judgment shouldn't be wrong."
Yang Jie was speechless for a moment after hearing this.
She didn't know what Li Ao had learned about Zhenmo Si, but when she saw the certainty of his words, she could only choose to believe it.
As a result, when Li Fan left the square gate, there was a lively flow of people on the east, west and north sides. For a moment, he didn't know which way to go.
Although the other party had not been away for long, there were so many places he could go, and there were crowds of people everywhere, so he couldn't rush around quickly.
"It seems we can't make it in time."
For a moment, Li Fan had no choice but to stop his horse and try to look into the distance.
But, still nothing was found.
However, just when he was frustrated, Li Fan suddenly thought of the information he had seen with his true-seeing eyes.
"When the caster chants a special spell, this object will release the stored evil spirit (jade spirit) and be driven by it."
Something like this. It means that the strange power between the two will resonate. It is possible for the other party to sense the existence of this jade sculpture within a certain distance, and even control it remotely when necessary?
On the other hand, what will happen if the jade sculpture gets close to the controller?
Li Fan took out the male monkey statue that he had put away before and observed it carefully.
Sure enough, he sensed the strange force that was like mist on it, emitting a rhythm like a heartbeat.
It seems that as the distance becomes farther, this rhythm is slowly becoming weaker.
Li Fan's heart moved slightly, and he rode back a bit. As expected, he became weaker!
After going north, the rhythm became a bit stronger, the mist-like strange power was also obviously active, and the flow became faster.
"There is a way!"
