Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1463 Ask about the whereabouts of the book of secrets

When the middle-aged man saw Liu Ya coming in, he bowed politely, like a shopkeeper receiving guests.

Liu Ya sat on the chair opposite to him, looked at the hut again, and found it strange that there was still a lot of space behind the two of them, and it was indeed blocked by a screen.

That is to say, if there is anything behind the screen, Liu Ya cannot see it.

Seeing Liu Ya looking at the screen behind the two, the middle-aged man explained: "Guests don't have to be confused, there's no one hiding behind it, it's just some of my goods."

Liu Ya remembered that the person in charge at the door said that those on the left were inquiring about Jianghu affairs, and those on the right were inquiring about precious medicinal materials, and she came from the right, so she asked, "Goods? I don't know if there are any goods I want? "

"Then what the guest wants, please write it down." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he pushed the pen and paper in front of him towards Liu Ya.

Liu Ya understands that this is because she is afraid that the walls have ears.He smiled slightly, picked up a pen and wrote the words "Book of Secrets".

Although there was no news from the Luo brothers before she arrived in the capital, Liu Ya actually already had some thoughts about the book of secrets left by the wise old man in Tianshan.

It's not that she wants to learn something about Qimen Dunjia, observing the sky, and measuring the earth, but she thinks that if this thing can attract people in the martial arts world, it must have its strangeness.Out of curiosity, Liu Ya also wanted to see it.

Therefore, when he came to such a place where people in the rivers and lakes could inquire about news at will, Liu Ya was the first to ask about the whereabouts of the book of secrets.

But unexpectedly, when Liu Ya finished writing, the middle-aged man took the paper back, took it to the oil lamp, lit it, and then threw it into a brazier at his feet.

Liu Ya was stunned for a moment, then looked down, and saw that there was already a lot of paper ashes in the brazier, it seemed that there were quite a few people who came here to ask about things.

After the paper was burnt, Liu Ya raised her head and asked him, "Then, is there any such thing?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback by Liu Ya's question, and then asked back: "Is this the first time this guest has come to this felt village?"

Liu Ya said bluntly: "Yes. So there are many rules that I don't understand, please clarify."

"That's no wonder. Here, the self-made rules are not to speak when you see the words, and not to ask questions when it is ashes." After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man explained: "This paper is already ashes, so I will treat you as a guest. Yes. There is one more thing you can ask."

It was only then that Liu Ya realized that the fact that he burned the paper he wrote didn't count.

Liu Ya just laughed, and said, "I really don't want anything else other than this. Since this is the case, can I take this question as a question and ask if this thing is really so hard to find?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "It's not that it's hard to find, it's that I can't find it. I don't have it here, and you can't ask about the two rooms next door. Even if you can go up to the third floor, it's still not there. This thing is in the It is a treasure and a mystery in Jianghu, and the people looking for it have died one after another, but no one has ever seen it. So, this depends on fate, and you can't ask for it."

Liu Ya nodded after hearing this, it seemed to be the same as what the two brothers Ron and Luo Xiang said.

But Liu Ya changed her mind again and felt that there was something in this man's words.After thinking about it for a while, I found my doubts and asked, "You said just now that there are so many people looking for it? That means, you still know where to look?"

"This...knows a little bit." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "It's just that looking for this thing is really dangerous. I told you, but it hurt you instead."

Liu Ya smiled and said: "You may not be able to find it after you've said it all. I'm just curious to ask for information. As long as you tell me, you can ask me whether you want to go or not, and how much it will cost."

The middle-aged man nodded, then pushed the paper and pen towards Liu Ya, and said, "Write down the price you can offer, and I'll give you a message. However, it stands to reason that I can only sell goods here. You have to go to the left to ask for the news. You have got the letter, so don’t let me miss it.”

Liu Ya said: "I understand the rules, you are strict. Don't worry." After speaking, Liu Ya picked up the pen and was about to write.

The man said again: "Guest, you are here for the first time, so I have to tell you something. What I sell here is goods, but what I receive is not money. To put it bluntly, it is to exchange things for things. See if you can get money." If something important and good comes out, I will give you a message."

When Liu Ya heard it, it turned out that it was not a matter of money.

After thinking about it, I didn't write any more, so I reached out to take out a porcelain jar from the pair of leather pockets I was carrying with me, opened it, looked at it, put it on the table, and said, "I'll pay three dollars for this thing."

"Three qian?" The middle-aged man was stunned, and said: "Even if this is a thousand-year-old ginseng, three qian is just a ginseng whisker. How much can you have?"

After all, he still glanced inside curiously.But it was just this one glance that made him stunned, and then swallowed his saliva, leaned closer to Xixiu, and asked, "This... is this thing real?"

It turned out that inside the jar was the piece of Tai Sui meat that Liu Ya brought out from the Forest of Mysteries.

I used a large piece for Liu Xu'er's medicine before, and there is not much left.But this thing can grow slowly after raising it, so Liu Ya has always carried it with her.

Liu Ya nodded and said, "It's guaranteed to be a fake one. Since you are selling goods here, you should also keep some treasures, right? If you don't even recognize these things, I don't need to exchange any news with you , You don’t know the goods, and you can’t find any useful news.”

"No, please let me take another look." The middle-aged man looked nervous and solemn, and said: "This thing is really rare, too uncommon. What's more, your color is neither yellow nor soft, moisturizing Ruyu, crystal clear like ice, are really high-grade good things. I have only heard of them, but I have never seen them, so naturally I have to be careful."

"Have you never seen this thing before?" Liu Ya put on a sarcasm on purpose and asked, "Then you should take a good look at it. Then talk about three coins? If there is more, you don't have it. Don't be greedy." My jar of stuff."

"Three coins..." The middle-aged man swallowed again, and then said: "Guest, please wait."

After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the screen behind, and then he heard the sound of him rummaging through boxes.It seems that there are quite a few things behind the screen.

After a while, he came out with a small copper scale, a silver spoon and a jade box.

Put the box next to the jar, and asked cautiously: "If I dig it out now, will it run away?"

Liu Ya laughed when she heard it, and said: "I have taken it from north to south, and I have dug up a lot during the medicine, and I have never seen it run away."
