When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 17: Greed is enough and the snake swallows the elephant

"That fox has been disturbed, and this kid is in trouble."

"It seems that his luck has come to an end. He accidentally pointed to the piece of waste rock."

"Oh, greed is not enough. This young man has won hundreds of talismans by luck, and he still won't stop. Now he will lose all his money."

"Maybe it's a good thing if he loses. If he wins, can Heshan Road allow him to leave safely?"

Tang Yuan turned to look at Xiaodie and asked, "What does waste stone mean?"

Xiaodie looked a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Dear guest, this stone mine is a little small, and a master has claimed that there is very little red sun gold in it. No one has paid attention to this stone mine for a long time, and the cabinet has decided If you move him out of Hall No. 1 and lower the price, it is still possible to sell him, but he hasn't moved out yet, so you..."

Tang Yuan looked annoyed and said, "Then I'm not doomed!"

Zhu He walked over, glanced at Tang Yuan, and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, isn't this the famous piece of waste stone? Could it be that... you chose this piece?"

Tang Yuan said: "It's not certain whether it's a waste rock or not. Be careful and it hits yourself in the face!"

"Huh, you're still being stubborn." Zhu He was in a good mood. The treasure worth two thousand tokens would soon be in his possession.

The palace guard also came over at this time and sighed when he saw the waste stone selected by Tang Yuan.

He still has a good impression of this little friend, but it's a pity...

The palace guard said loudly, "Since both of you have been chosen, who wants to cut first?"

Tang Yuan pointed at the other party and said: "Let the master come first. The older a person is, the less timid he becomes. Otherwise, he will not dare to use the knife after looking at my stone."

"Hmph, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth." The old man surnamed Zhong snorted coldly, "Then shoot us first and make this kid desperate."

"This stone is the Thousand Faith Talisman! To guarantee the capital, one hundred kilograms of Sanyang Gold must be cut out!"

"The Heshan Taoist family has a great career, so they dare to bet on this kind of stone. If you and I gamble, if we lose or even fail to ship the goods, then our life savings will be invested!"

"Oh, I can't bet on it myself. Even if I watch others cutting this big thing, I feel so comfortable physically and mentally!"

The palace guard still took out his short sword weapon, but this time he opened and closed it more widely, splitting the stone in just a few moves.

"It's out! It's out! It's out with one knife!"

Before the stone skin fell too much, the golden color was already revealed.

The palace guard nodded. This piece of material is a piece of aniseed material placed here in the pavilion for the purpose of selling other stone mines. There is definitely a lot of Chiyang Gold in it!

Sure enough, as the knife shadow flashed, more and more gold was exposed.

"Big deal, this is a rare deal! It looks like the Thousand Letter Talisman is going to make a lot of money!"

Everyone looked at Zhu He with eyes filled with envy and jealousy!

Zhu He's heart was also tightened. If the cutting was done well, he might receive thousands of talismans this time! Even if his father is the leader of Heshan Road, Zhu He's entire net worth is only this!

One knife after another, every piece of stone skin fell and golden light bloomed, making him cheer loudly!

The atmosphere in the entire hall became frenzied!

……

The palace guard wiped his sweat and saw that all the stones had been untied, one piece, two pieces, three pieces...a total of thirty-seven pieces of Sanyang gold shining with red luster.

Some of them are even as big as a human head!

Zhu He's breathing was so rapid that he could hear it clearly, but no one cared. Everyone was staring at the shining golden light on the table.

The palace guard also sighed: "Among the stones I have solved, this ranks among the top three!"

Immediately, a deacon from Yunmeng Pavilion came to weigh him.

But there was already a veteran with trembling hands who was highly skilled in calculation and said, "I'm afraid it's five thousand kilograms!" Soon, the deacon had already given the result.

"Four thousand eight hundred and thirty pounds!"

There was silence in the hall, and everyone was deeply shocked by this number. This was nearly five thousand talismans, which was really a jaw-dropping amount of money!

Zhu He took three deep breaths before he managed to keep his voice calm. He turned to look at Tang Yuan, "It's time to cut you off now!"

Everyone looked at him after hearing this, their eyes full of sympathy. This kind of bet that was over before it even started was really disappointing.

The little fox also lay on Tang Yuan's shoulder, blaming himself: "It's all because of me that it didn't work!"

Tang Yuan said softly: "The outcome has not yet been decided, senior, please cut my stone."

But everyone could tell from that voice that he was no longer as determined as before.

The palace guard had finished his rest at this time. He glanced at Tang Yuan and said comfortingly: "The stone has not yet been opened, everything is possible."

But he didn't have much hope in this waste stone. In fact, if he had known in advance that the stone could unlock five thousand kilograms of Sanyang Gold, Yunmeng Pavilion would have solved it himself.

It is difficult, difficult, difficult for a piece of waste rock to surpass this piece of aniseed!

He took the knife again, and the silver knife was flying like a dragon and a phoenix, but this time he was cutting more seriously, as if he was doing his best for the little friend in his eyes.

But a dozen or so knives in a row were nothing more than a golden touch.

"It's really a piece of rubble!"

"There's no suspense at all!"

"I thought about gambling on this stone before, but luckily I didn't take action!" A man with a face full of joy patted his chest and said fearfully.

The little fox lay on Tang Yuan's shoulder and said timidly: "Tang Yuan, are you okay?"

Tang Yuan sighed and said, "It's okay, the stone hasn't been cut yet."

"Are you still dreaming of a comeback at this time? Should I call you naive or stubborn?" Zhu He sarcastically said from the side.

Tang Yuan ignored him and just watched every time Gong Shou swung his sword.

The stone has been broken down to the size of a baby, and there is still no trace of red sun gold.

"I didn't expect it to be a complete waste!"

"If you think about it this way, if you don't get anything for Zhu Shou, isn't it the best way for this kid to make money!" Someone joked in a different way.

Everyone in the hall laughed, and Zhu He's expression became even more proud!

With a cross cut of the knife, the stone fragments fell, and finally a touch of golden light appeared!

"If you cut it out now, what's the use? Even if the rest is Sanyang Gold, so what, I want to thank you for giving me another big gift!"

Zhu He was still feeling proud, but he didn't notice that the palace guard's expression became serious, and that Mr. Zhong's expression also became very ugly.

Zhu He still wanted to say more, but found that the entire hall had become extremely quiet.

All he could hear was the swishing sound of the knife and the beating of his own heart.

He was a little confused, what happened to those people who were laughing happily just now, and he looked at everyone in the hall.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the stone on the stage.

"Isn't that just a piece of waste rock? Why do they care so much?" Zhu He was puzzled and looked there with a hint of panic.

A touch of red filled his eyes, a color far more dazzling than Sanyang Gold, which almost made Zhu He's heart stop beating.

He almost groaned, "Six...six Yang gold!"
