Atractylodes

One month later is the martial arts conference.

It was a sunny morning, the wind was blowing from the east, and it was so pleasant that people's bones were crisp. Chong Baishu and his party set off for Chang'an.Before leaving, Chong Xinghong handed Xiao Taohong to Chong Baishu with eyes wide open, saying that she couldn't go and had to let Xiao Taohong travel the world for her.

Chong Baishu tremblingly accepted it and set off with his elder brother.Speaking of this matter made Zhong Baishu a little dissatisfied, why Chong Luo could directly enter the second round, he could only bitterly start the competition from the beginning.

It is the season when the grass grows and the warblers fly and the tender willows sprout. Chong Atractylodes lays on the roof of the carriage, enjoying the spring happily.It took more than half a month to stop and go all the way to Chang'an.

Zhong Baishu stopped at the door of a house.

Daiwa white walls, willow leaves lightly.

This is a family that Chongying knew well in Chang'an, and they were all very enthusiastic when they saw the Chong family and his party.The owner's surname is Lin, and his name is Lin Qing.Dressed in silk, she looks extravagant, and her appearance faintly reveals a bit of the handsomeness of her youth.

Lin Qing invited everyone in to wash the dust. Chong Baishu, who had been tired all day after the end, was lying on the bed and was about to go to bed. Suddenly someone pushed the door and came in. Chong Baishu was so frightened that he quickly covered the quilt.

A young man stood in front of his bed, with a delicate face and bright eyes.If it wasn't for Chong Baishu who still had some sanity left, he would definitely have shouted "Indecent" at this time.

Chong Baishu pointed at the young master, "You you you...what are you going to do?"

"You are Brother Bai Shu!" The boy stepped forward.

Chong Baishu pulled up the quilt on his chest, "What's wrong?"

The young man grabbed Bai Shu's hand, "I have known you for a long time, and I have finally met the real person."

Zhong Baishu blinked.

"My father said that you have been in trouble since you were young. I have always admired people like you who dare to fight against evil forces."

Chong Baishu was dumbfounded.

"So you take me to the Jiuzhong Building!"

Chong Baishu hadn't turned the corner yet, "Jiuchonglou? Where is it?"

"Every first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there will be auctions of some rare and rare treasures! The Nine-story Building is strictly regulated, and ordinary people can't even enter it."

Bai Shu pointed to herself, "I am an ordinary person."

The young man shook his Baishu hand and said, "I have an admission ticket! Take me there!"

Bai Shu couldn't figure it out, "You have the ticket, why do you still have to drag me?"

The young man twisted his sleeves, "I...I dare not..."

Chong Baishu thinks this person is interesting, but he doesn't have the guts to rebel, which reminds him of Fengqin for no reason.

"Okay. But after talking for a long time, I still don't know your name."

"My name is Lin Junyan."

……

The gate of the Jiuchong Building is as bright as day, and the red ribbon on the tree in front of the gate is fluttering in the wind.

As soon as Bai Shu stepped in, he was stopped respectfully, "I haven't seen you before."

Bai Shu handed over the invitation letter, pointed to Lin Junyan beside him, "Mr. Lin."

The man nodded and said, "Lin Junyan, son of the Lin family. I mean, I haven't seen you before."

Lin Junyan hurriedly said, "He is my relative."

After thinking for a while, the man gave a clear smile, "Master Lin and our host are friends, so the younger ones will naturally not be embarrassed."

Lin Junyan hurriedly said, "You are not allowed to tell my father about this."

The man lowered his head, "Master Lin, don't worry, as long as the Lin family holds the invitation letter, Jiuchonglou will not talk too much."

The two successfully entered the Jiuzhong Building, and they were stunned as soon as they entered. The shelves were full of antique vases, ivory and precious stones.Jiuzhonglou turned out to be an antique shop?

"These are all collected by the old landlord, and they are placed here when they are useless." The person who led the way said, the man said nothing after saying this, and quickly brought the two of them to a specific room.

Chong Baishu was startled, Chang'an City was indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and he couldn't hear the footsteps of the leader!And there was no footsteps of people in the same clothes rushing past him!

This kind of light work is willing to lead someone here?

The martial arts conference brought a different kind of vitality to Jiuzhonglou. Heroes from all over the world gathered together, and Jiuzhonglou also took out his precious treasures.Heavy Baishu happened to catch up with the first wave, but when the martial arts conference ended at the end of the month, that was the real eye-opener.

"What do you want to buy here?"

Lin Junyan shook his head, "Let's take a look."

Bai Shu licked the melon seeds and sighed, "Rich people..."

"Brother Baishu, isn't your kung fu also good?"

"Absolutely." Bai Shu spat out the melon seeds in his mouth, he was telling the truth, Chang'an City was mixed with all kinds of people, his martial arts were indeed average.

"Then have you ever been a hero?"

"I've always been a hero for justice."

Lin Junyan: "You really let me down."

"Cough...cough cough..." Bai Shu almost swallowed the melon seeds with their shells.

Lin Junyan was serious, "My father always said that if I don't study hard, I will be a gangster with you in the future."

Bai Shu's hand that was eating melon seeds stopped in the air...

"Lin Junyan, you should stop talking, can't you just eat some melon seeds?"

"Get on fire."

"Then drink tea!"

Seeing Bai Shu's ugly face, Lin Junyan quickly picked up the teacup and put it in his mouth.

The first thing I took was a picture of a fairy. The generous owner of Jiuchonglou said it was for charity, just for the sake of the scene.However, the final price made Bai Shu's eyes widened.

This is called charity?

This is called a hot spot?

Chong Baishu finally understood why the little brother stopped him from entering just now, pity him who has never seen the world.

Next, some things that people in the Jianghu like, such as some fragments of secret books, some weapons used by some celebrities, and some elixir that are rumored to be able to revive the dead.

Both Chong Baishu and Lin Junyan were a little ignorant, they just opened their mouths in surprise.In the middle, he fell in love with a sword, and felt that the chic and majestic style fit his temperament, but the high price made him want to hit the wall.Looking down at Xiao Taohong in her arms, she comforted herself that Xiao Taohong was the best in the world.

"All the guests seem to be tired, and Jiuchonglou has also provided a sideshow for everyone."

I saw a few people work together to move a large tank, "This is a giant clam, and the one who wins the photo will get the beads on the spot."

There was a whisper during the dinner.

The man said, "Someone once took out hundreds of pearls, one of which was as big as a fist, and of course some people lost their money. Everyone thought about it and started the auction. There is no starting price."

People called up one after another, and the last woman was determined to win.Chong Baishu figured out the rules, and when he was about to announce the owner of the giant clam, Chong Baishu said, "1000 taels."

The woman saw that Chong Baishu was here to make trouble, and said through gritted teeth, "One thousand and one hundred taels."

Bai Shu ate melon seeds, "One thousand, two hundred taels."

"You!" The woman said bitterly, "One thousand three hundred taels!"

Chong Baishu spread out his hands and stopped calling.

Lin Jun said, "You will really offend people. Let them spend 300 taels for nothing."

Zhong Baishu made a grimace.

It didn't take long for a ferocious dog to be brought up in the arena, just squatting there with an imposing manner was enough to frighten people.

"This is a dog from the Western Regions that crosses the soul, and is regarded as a god by the people of the Western Regions. The starting price is 500 taels."

Most of the people in the arena were not interested, Bai Shu thought what a rarity for a broken dog, but when he turned his head, he saw Lin Junyan's eyes glowing golden, "It's so handsome! Look how majestic it is! From now on, I will drag it on the street every day. Turn up!"

Bai Shu snorted coldly, "Have you brought any money?"

"I still have 1000 taels of pocket money."

"Zero...pocket money?" Bai Shu waved his hands on his temples, deeply feeling the gap between the rich and the poor, "You shoot, shoot."

Lin Junyan shouted, "600 taels!"

No one responded.

Bai Shu spread out her hands, "Look, you are the only baby!"

"700 taels!"

Bai Shu was stunned, feeling a little ominous, because the voice was so familiar.

Lin Junyan said unwillingly, "800 taels!"

The other person shouted out the next number smoothly, "900 taels!"

Seeing that Lin Junyan was about to continue shouting, Bai Shu hurriedly pulled him back, "What are you doing? Let her shoot it! The price has been raised so high."

But Lin Junyan said stubbornly, "I don't want it, what's the use of having so much money, I can't spend it at all. Now I finally came across something I like!" Unwillingly pushed Baishu, "It's all your fault , What did you do to that girl just now!"

"1000 taels!"

"One thousand five hundred taels!"

Lin Junyan was about to cry, "It's over, there's not enough money!" Then he cast his reproachful eyes on Chong Baishu.

Bai Shu gritted her teeth cruelly, "I'm afraid of you, wait for me!"

I saw him pull out a very flattering smile and go out to lie on the railing, "Good sister..."

Lin Junyan trembled...

"I was ignorant just now, and I apologize to you. My younger brother really likes this dog..."

"It wasn't you who gave me an extra 300 taels just now?"

"Good sister! My younger brother is crying. It's not enough for me to apologize to you. It's not a problem if you ask us to pay 300 taels more. The main thing is that we don't have much money today."

"Then what should I do? I don't like this dog very much, you have to take pictures!" The woman seemed a little anxious.

Bai Shu said, "How about this, you take this dog and I'll take it away. I'll give you 1000 taels first, and I owe the rest first."

After thinking about it for a while, the girl agreed, "Okay. Then you have to leave something for me, otherwise what will you do if you run away?"

Bai Shu became cruel, and threw Xiao Taohong to the opposite side, "This is my favorite sword."

There was an eerie silence on the other side.

"Are you... are you kidding me?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Bai Shu, but Bai Shu tried to lower his head, "Sister, look at it, it's a good sword."

The sound of a chair falling to the ground came from the opposite side, "Well, it's a good sword. I'll get someone to give you the address later."

Bai Shu smiled, "Thank you sister."

When he turned around, he found that Lin Junyan was stunned, "This... all of this will work?"

Zhong Baishu said, "As a human being, you can't be too rigid. Be hard if you want to be hard, and be soft if you want to be soft."

Lin Jun said in a daze, "I have been taught."

When the scene was over, Bai Shu took the dog from the people in Jiuchonglou, seeing the dog's ferocious appearance ready to bite all directions at any time, his heart shivered slightly, "What's the name of this dog?"

The man said respectfully, "The name is chosen by the guest."

Bai Shu glanced at the dog, "It's so fate, why not call it Little Pearl."

"No!" Lin Junyan strongly objected, "How can such a majestic dog be called such a motherly name!"

"Why can't I get this dog!"

Lin Junyan was not to be outdone, "Who paid for it?"

"My Little Taohong is not worth much anymore?" Bai Shu asked back, crossing her chest.

"Little... Taohong?" Lin Junyan suddenly understood, so it is not difficult for Bai Shu to call this dog "Little Pearl".

Lin Junyan insisted on calling the dog "Lei Zhenzi", and Bai Shu insisted on calling it "Little Pearl". The two quarreled all the way over this, and when they returned to Lin's mansion, neither of them paid any attention to the other.
