Chapter 37

Prajna stood there expressionless.

Huo Yubai came over, stared at Prajna and asked, "The girl is also here to buy a house?"

Banruo nodded with a flat expression, but when Bo Jinan saw Huo Yubai here, he hurried over from the car and greeted him politely: "Boss Huo."

"Mr. Bo."

"Mr. Huo is also here to buy a house?" Bo Jin'an really hoped to get an affirmative answer. After all, the Huo family's status in this city is unrivaled. If the Huo family is also optimistic about this place, I can only say that in the future this area will definitely developed.

Huo Yubai did not deny it. In fact, the Huo family's property was managed by a team. Recently, the Huo family wanted to add some real estate, so they asked the broker team to inquire. The Huo family received news that the house here was worth Buy, after all, Huo Yubai intends to buy the house here, and the developer heard that the Huo family was coming to buy a house, so he immediately brought a group of high-level executives from the company to entertain him.

Today was the day to sign the contract. Huo Yubai brought a lawyer to confirm that the contract was correct, and then paid.

Zhao Mingyuan came out of the sales department and was also surprised to see Banruo. "Master, why are you here?"

"Buy a house."

"Buying a house? That's a coincidence." Zhao Mingyuan accepted the contract and said with a smile, "I'm here to buy a house too. Did Master buy a facade or a house?"

"Facade."

"Then we bought the same one." Zhao Mingyuan was still smiling, but he was no less surprised than Bo Jinan. Isn't Banruo a fortune teller?How did you have so much money all of a sudden?Although it was the last time that the bet on stones went up, the profit that time was not too much, and the facade here cost at least 2000 to [-] million.

In fact, he also planned to ask Prajna to see Fengshui when he bought the facade this time, but because the Huo family was well informed, since the Huo family planned to buy here, there was no need to look at Fengshui, so he bought it with Huo Yubai. together.

"But we definitely didn't buy as many as the second master." Zhao Mingyuan looked at Huo Yubai as if he said, "The second master bought this whole building, he..."

"Mingyuan!" Huo Yubai frowned slightly. Although he couldn't see any anger, Zhao Mingyuan quickly shut up.

As soon as the words came out, the people present were shocked again... People buy houses by units, but he buys by buildings!This is simply comparing people to people, and it makes people mad!Not with such exciting people!

Bo Jin'an said with a dry smile, "The Huo family is really big."

No wonder Huo Yubai bought a house, but the developer came to entertain him. It turns out that they are not ordinary buyers at all. The houses here are not selling well at present. Suddenly, someone came out and bought a house. The house, the developer must be very happy!
However, upon hearing that Huo Yubai bought a house here, Bo Jinan seemed to be reassured. After all, the Huo family is the first in this city, and their family's network is no less than anyone else's. Since they want to invest here, it can be seen here There is plenty of room for advancement.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, Bo Jin'an politely asked Banruo, "Where is Master going to go later? Are you going home directly?"

Banruo shook his head, "I'm going to the antique market."

"Antique market?" Zhao Mingyuan squinted his peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile, "Second Master and I happened to be going there too, why don't you take our car there."

Hearing this, Banruo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before she could say it, Huo Yubai said in a deep voice, "What? Miss Banruo doesn't want to walk with me?"

Prajna frowned, what did Huo Yubai mean by that?Could it be that he saw that he was avoiding him?Could it be that she was so obvious?

Afraid that it would be too late, Banruo looked at his deep and unclear eyes, not only did not dodge, but stared straight at him, and said coldly: "Of course not, I am a little surprised that Mr. Huo asked such a question."

"Girl, what's not going to happen, how could you be surprised?" Huo Yubai said.

Banruo's brows frowned a little more, Huo Yubai is indeed a little strange today, Mint is right, he has always been the kind of character who is not close to anyone, but suddenly he seems to take mundane things to heart Average.

Recently, Zhao Mingyuan has always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them is a bit strange. Seeing them playing charades again, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Well, it's getting late. Master has to go back to school tonight, right? It's better to go there earlier."

He sat in the driver's seat.

Huo Yubai opened the car door without any movement, just staring at Banruo, but Banjna couldn't help but sat in the back seat under his gaze.

Huo Yubai closed the car door, just when Banruo thought that the two of them would not sit together, Huo Yubai went around and sat in from the other side of the car door.

Sitting in the same space with him, Banruo couldn't help but think of the picture she saw with her heavenly eyes, the intimacy of the two of them lying on the bed, and seeing him so close to her, she felt uncomfortable all over her body, even breathing Somewhat hot.

"Miss uncomfortable?" Huo Yubai suddenly asked in the quiet car.

"No."

"The girl seems to be avoiding me recently." Huo Yubai tapped his long-sleeved hands on his legs, as if in deep thought, and said, "Could it be something related to me?"

"No." After finishing speaking, I always felt that the words meant that there is no silver 300 taels here, Banruo said coldly: "I am just worried about my studies, Mr. Huo, don't make random guesses."

"Academics? I heard from Teacher Fu Xin that you are among the best in No. [-] Middle School."

Banruo doesn't like his appearance as if he knows everything, and even less like his aggressive talk. She always feels that if he asks a few more questions, and she figured out that he is a future partner, she might be caught by him. know.

One more thing is worse than one less thing. Since you are not going to get entangled, it is better not to get involved in any relationship.

Thinking of this, Banruo said seriously: "I'm already in my third year of high school, and it's normal to worry about the college entrance examination."

Seeing them suddenly talking about study, Zhao Mingyuan felt cold behind his back. He always felt that he couldn't keep up with the brain circuit of the two. If it was an ordinary man and woman, he would definitely suspect that the two were having an affair, but he looked behind him through the rearview mirror. Those two.One is independent from the world, and the other is as cold as frost. Putting it aside, people who don't know must think that these two people don't know each other.Besides, one of these two is nearly 11 years old, and the other is less than 300 years old. The difference is [-] years old. There must be something wrong, right?Feeling ridiculous for his own thoughts, Zhao Mingyuan looked forward intently. You must know that if the second master is going to fall in love this year, he will lose at least [-] million bets with others!
Amitabha!Don't talk too much about bad luck!Second master, you have to hold on, no matter what kind of woman you are with, you have to keep your body pure and pure this year!
Zhao Mingyuan kept muttering in his heart, and he continued to drive. No one spoke in the car for a while, and they could even hear their panting clearly. Not long after, we arrived at Antique Street.

Banruo came here this time to find a magical weapon for dispelling evil spirits. The [-]th day is approaching, and the case entrusted by Principal Lu is still unclear. Banruo knows that the sorcerer is very powerful. Find a few artifacts in case of emergency.

She looked around at Gu Langxuan's things, there are many antiques here, Prajna looked around, but she didn't see a magic weapon.

She went around the antique street again, but found nothing. After walking out of the last shop, she was about to leave when she suddenly saw a man walking into the shop with a cloth parcel.

The man walked in a hurry, and when he entered the door, he accidentally bumped into Banruo.

"I'm sorry." He apologized hastily, and then went to the counter.

Many images flashed through Hannya's mind, she stopped and looked back at the man who was nearly forty years old.

"Boss, please show me how much this treasure is worth?" the man asked anxiously.

The boss raised his head, looked at him for a while, and then said, "Where did this come from?"

"Ancestral."

The boss opened the package and saw an embroidered Thangka inside.

This thangka is exquisite in workmanship. The whole picture is embroidered with gold thread and multicolored silk thread. The red Yemo in the middle of the thangka shows a wrathful appearance, and the Ming concubine Piyuan Livajra is embraced, implying the combination of wisdom and compassion.

The boss was startled, thought for a moment, and said: "I'm not sure whether this thing is real or not. Our store invited a guest expert from the TV station's "Treasure Hunt" column to help. He is famous and prestigious. If he says it is If it’s true, then it’s true. Genuine products can be worth a lot of money, but if he says they’re fake, then you’re an imitation thangka. You must know that imitation thangkas are worthless at all. Now that the technology is so advanced, you can use it casually. If the machine can make a similar product, then the price will vary day by day.”

Hearing what he said, the man panicked for a moment. "Boss, you must take a good look for me. Is this thing real or not? Is the master here today? Ask him to come out and take a look for me."

"Master happened to be in the store today." The boss said.

Not long after, he went to the inner hall to invite a 60-year-old, seemingly young treasure appraisal expert. This person looked familiar, and he seemed to be the TV station's "Treasure Hunting" column. The ratings of this column were not bad. Many people bring their family antiques on TV and ask experts to appraise them. If the experts think it is true, they will give an estimate. If the experts agree that it is fake, they will smash the antique on the spot.Once this kind of gimmick was implemented, there was a tense and exciting atmosphere, which attracted many loyal fans.

And this old man is Professor Qian in "Treasure Hunt".

"Professor Qian, please help me to see if this thangka is real or not? I'm still in a hurry when the money is spent."

Professor Qian walked over with a magnifying glass. He opened the huge thangka and looked at it carefully for a long time.

I saw that the thangka was three meters high and two meters wide after it was released, with red Yamadi tattooed on it. This thangka was first given to the Fifth Karmapa by Emperor Yongle to show his magical power. Therefore, it is one of the gifts from the royal family. This pair of thangkas is exquisite in workmanship and lifelike in embroidery. It seems to be a rare treasure!

If this is a real thangka, the price is immeasurable.

Unexpectedly, Professor Qian looked at it for a long time, finally winked at the boss, and sighed: "Oh, what a pity, I thought it was a real Thangka, but it turned out to be a modern imitation."

"Modern imitation?" The man's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.He said anxiously: "Professor, please take a closer look, I'm still waiting for the money to be used."

This man is really short of money. When Prajna collided with him just now and saw his past, it turned out that this man gambled and lost all the two factories passed down by his ancestors. He was upset and in a bad mood recently. His friends took him to do drugs to cheer him up.Once a person is addicted to drugs, his willpower will be crippled. Originally, he still wanted to start all over again, but now he is addicted to drugs and can't do anything well, so he thought about selling all the old antiques at home. , No, this is the last one.

Professor Qian kept sighing, he is an expert in the industry, and he spoke with great authority: "I can't help it, fakes are not real, you just look at the workmanship, it's so fine, it looks like it's made by modern machines, and the reason why the whole thing is The color of the thangka is light, and it is only after the machine is deliberately made old that it has such an effect."

Hearing this, the man was completely desperate.

"However..." Professor Qian glanced at him, "If you really want to sell, we also accept imitations here, but the price is not high."

"How much can it sell for?" the man asked expectantly.

Professor Qian raised three fingers.

"Only thirty thousand?"

"I can't help it. Thirty thousand is already the highest price. If you think about it, a piece of clothing made by a machine is not worth much. This Thangka is better because of its large area. Otherwise, I would never want such a fake. "Professor Qian glanced at him, and continued: "How is it? Do you sell it? You know, if you go out of the store and go to another store, it is impossible for someone to accept such a counterfeit product."

The man couldn't make up his mind, he walked out of the shop in a daze, as if he couldn't accept such a result.

Suddenly, he saw Banruo standing not far outside the store, and thought that this girl had just been in the store for a long time, so she must be an insider, and seeing that she was young and fair-looking, he thought she was easy to deceive.

So, holding the thangka, he said mysteriously: "Girl, I have a treasure, I wonder if you are interested?"

Banruo looked at him with raised eyebrows, stared at his yellow face for a while, and then asked, "Oh? What treasure?"

For some reason, the man suddenly felt a little guilty when she saw her like this, but after thinking about it, the other party was just a little girl, could it be possible to eat him?

He became more courageous and said, "That's right. I have a thangka from the Ming Dynasty here. I just asked Professor Qian to see it. He said it was genuine, but we didn't negotiate the price. You know that. The treasures are rare, if you are willing to bid a little higher, I will sell this thing to you!"

Banruo glanced at the Thangka and asked, "How much do you want?"

Seeing that she was interested, the man hurriedly raised five fingers: "50!"

"50? Are you sure this is a real antique?" Banruo showed the uneasy look only a novice would have.

"Little girl, don't worry, you should know the professor Qian in this store, right? He is the expert in the "Treasure Hunting" column, can he be wrong?" The man continued to lie.

Banruo stared at him deeply, and asked again: "Are you sure you want to sell this thing to me?"

"Of course! Girl! I'm short of money!" He rubbed his arms, as if he was addicted to drugs and became a little irritable. "Hurry up! Do you want to buy it or not!"

This time, Banruo did not refuse, and she transferred 50 yuan to his card as the man asked.

When the man saw that the money had arrived, he was very pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that he would cheat such a fool so casually. He looked at the thangka, which was originally regarded as a treasure, shook his head, and stuffed it into Prajna's hand.

Since it was a fake, he certainly didn't need to cherish it.

When the money and goods are settled, Prajna turns around and leaves, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper and Professor Qian catch up, they look at each other, and say in harmony:
"Little girl, it's useless to keep your Thangka, why don't you sell it to us?"

"Yes! We are willing to pay double the price to buy it!"

"You see, you just sold it and you made 50 yuan, which is already a lot of money!" Professor Qian continued to persuade.

Banruo stared at them coldly, and said without any warmth in his voice, "Sorry, I don't sell it!"

She was about to leave, but was stopped by the shopkeeper. "Little girl, to tell you the truth, we are bound to get this Thangka today. You have to sell it if you sell it, or you have to sell it if you don't sell it!"

"Oh? Is there such a reason?" Prajna was unmoved. "You just said clearly that this is a fake, why are you so obsessed with a fake?"

Professor Qian looked away, and smiled after a while: "Little girl, you don't know something. I believe in fate. This thangka is destined for me. I must buy it today. You can sell it to us!"

Banruo sneered: "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a group of gangsters suddenly surrounded her from all sides. The gangsters were all tall and big, and they surrounded Prajna as soon as they came up.

The shopkeeper smiled proudly: "I won't hide it from you, I have to get what I like no matter what means I use!"

"I understand." Prajna was as calm as usual, she looked at Professor Qian and said, "You all gang up to cheat, you tell your customers that the thing is fake, you trick them into selling it to you at a low price, and then you buy that Real antiques, profit from them, if someone is ignorant, doesn't believe you, or doesn't sell you the antiques, you can use this method to let the bastards grab the antiques abruptly!"

Seeing that his trick was seen through, the shopkeeper didn't hide it, he said arrogantly: "Yes, I'll just say it straight! I just want to grab your things by force! Who told you to be ignorant of current affairs!"

"Are you not afraid that I will call the police?"

"Call the police? I have someone at the police station, see what you can do to me!" A hint of sternness appeared on the shopkeeper's face.

After he finished speaking, he made a gesture, and those gangsters jumped up and rushed towards Prajna...

At this moment, Banruo used the thangka in his hand as a magical weapon, and used his hands to form an array, and opened the Qimen Dunjia. It feels like I have come to an island full of fog. On this island, I can hear the sound of stormy waves crashing on the shore, there are also seabirds shouting, and many shadows are constantly shuttling, as if there are many people in it.But they couldn't see the direction, so they could only wander around inside.

Suddenly, the little gangster screamed, and saw a few people coming up from the opposite side, and they punched him when they came up, and they had to fight each other.

"Hey, hey! Wake up! What's the matter with you! Wake up!" The shop owner saw that all the gangsters had somehow started fighting with each other, as if he had been bewitched by this little girl. Miao, and Professor Qian looked at each other, they were about to run away, but they saw the gangsters who were fighting each other, suddenly caught up with them, held them under their bodies, and beat them up crazily.

When Huo Yubai and Zhao Mingyuan heard the news and rushed over, they saw two people whose faces were swollen like pigs' heads after being beaten.

Prajna, whom they were worried about, was safe and sound, standing aside with a calm expression, watching the group of people fighting.

Although Huo Yubai looked shocked, but seeing her standing with her hands behind her back, and thinking of the back view she saw in the Huo Family Cemetery that day, she always felt that sometimes, her young but mature appearance was really a bit strange. funny.

"Are you OK?"

Banruo looked at Huo Yubai, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

"Master, how did you meet these two bastards?" Zhao Mingyuan also walked to her side.

"They wanted me to sell them the Thangkas I had just received at a low price, but I didn't agree, so they wanted to grab it," Banruo said.

Hearing this, Zhao Mingyuan kicked the two pigs in the face, and said bitterly: "Dare to trouble the master, I think you are tired of your work!"

It's not that Huo Yubai doesn't know that Professor Qian has been relying on being a professor on the "Treasure Hunt" column to gain exposure. In private, he uses his fame to often call people's antiques fake, buy them at low prices and sell them at high prices. , and earn high profits from it, the profit he earned was not less than [-] million.

Huo Yubai never spared his hands to deal with them, always thinking that it was not his turn to deal with such clowns, and since they violated his taboo today, they should stop messing around in the antique world.

"Tezhu Chen." Huo Yubai called his assistants and ordered them one by one: "Expose the matter of these two people to the media, then call the police to arrest them, use the media to test the pressure on the police, and then tell our people, Catch it well, but don't let it out as it is."

"Yes."

When they returned to Gulangxuan, Zhao Mingyuan asked: "Master, what kind of treasure is it that makes them do it in broad daylight!"

You must know that although the traffic of antique street is not large, it is not empty. In broad daylight, you dare to grab it like this, which shows that the temptation of this thing is really too great.

As soon as Prajna's ability saw this magic weapon, she wanted to pounce on it. She had a faint desire to absorb spiritual energy, but before the ability was activated, she would be suppressed by the evil spirit on the magic weapon.

This should be a real antique, but the evil spirit is too strong, and with the magic weapon, the aura is not too strong. Therefore, although her supernatural power is hungry, she dare not rush to absorb the aura.

Sure enough, after Huo Yubai opened it, his eyes showed obvious surprise.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "This thangka has maintained its excellent appearance after more than six centuries. The whole thangka is embroidered with silk, which is very precious. There are only two known recent examples, both of which are hidden in XZLS Dazhao Temple. If I read correctly, this thangka was given to a friend in England by His Holiness the Dharma King of Sikkim Tashi Nangyal. If it is going to be auctioned, the price should not be lower than 1977 million."

"2 million?" Prajna was really surprised.

"That's right, this price is the lowest price, and the final auction price should be even higher. However, although Gulangxuan is engaged in antique trading, we rarely buy magical artifacts. If you plan to sell them, I suggest you keep them for auction."

"auction?"

"At the end of the month, there will be an auction in this city. If you plan to participate, I can get you an admission qualification." Huo Yubai said.

To be honest, Banruo is not very interested in this magic weapon, but if she is not short of money, she does not plan to sell it.

"let me consider it."

Listening to their conversation, Zhao Mingyuan was completely speechless. For such prajna, fortune-telling is fine, and it is too exciting to pick up leaks at every turn. Ordinary people like him have to work non-stop, have unique eyesight and know how to invest, not only If you have the ability, you have to have the vision, and this is how you earn this little fortune, but I just went to the Antique Street for a while, and brought back a treasure worth more than [-] million, you say, these [-] million How long will he earn it?Putting it on ordinary office workers, some people earn less than [-] million in their lifetime.

Huo Yubai took a deep look at her and said, "Come with me."

He took her to the backyard of Gu Langxuan. It was the first time for Banruo to come here. There seemed to be no guards in the backyard, but Qimen Dunjia was arranged in every direction of the gossip. You will get lost in this battle, and you will not be able to enter the house at all.

Huo Yubai took out an ancient key and opened an ancient copper lock.

Pushing open the door, Prajna was startled, only to see that it was a warehouse with all kinds of antiques stored in it.There are blue and white flowers from Yuan Dynasty, bottles from Ming Dynasty, necklaces with top-quality emerald beads and rubies, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists...anything here is priceless, and the price of many items is definitely not lower than the Thangka in her hand.

There are so many antiques in this room, how much are they worth!

The moment she walked into the room, the supernatural power in Banruo's body began to clamor, and that supernatural power began to absorb the aura of each antique. After a while, she was already filled with aura, because there are too many antiques here, and each antique only Absorbing a little spiritual energy did not cause much harm to the antique.

"here it is……"

Huo Yubai's tone was normal: "The warehouse of the Huo family."

"Warehouse?" All fools know that with a family background like the Huo family, the warehouse should be an important place for protection. How can ordinary people enter it? "What did you bring me here for?"

Huo Yubai opened the door of the inner room of the warehouse, and saw that the walls were covered with bronze mirrors, chime bells, canopy rulers, nectar bowls, magic swords and other magic tools.

"Why are there so many magical artifacts?" There are so many magical artifacts hanging here, which makes the room very evil.

"This is used by the master invited by the ancestors to arrange Qimen Dunjia."

Banruo understood that the magical artifacts were hung in the house in different directions, so that there were magical artifacts to suppress the Qimen Dunjia in all directions. In this way, the Qimen Dunjia was almost unbreakable, even if ordinary people broke in, it would be impossible to break the array , then this warehouse is very safe.

"Choose!" Huo Yubai said suddenly.

"What?" Prajna looked at her in surprise.

"You went to another store just now, didn't you just want to find magical artifacts?" Huo Yubai looked at the magical artifacts on the wall, and said in a deep voice, "You can choose any magical artifact here."
