Chapter 23: Gambling stone

Views:

Speaking of the jade stones in the formation, the first thing Ming Wuxiang thought of was not those jadeites, but white jade, such as Hetian jade and Qinghai white jade.

Because in the world of cultivating immortals, there is no jade, only jade, that is, spirit stones, and there is no water species. When cultivating immortals, we only value the amount of spiritual energy contained in jade stones, that is, spirit stones.

Thinking of the current price of jade, Ming Wuxiang touched his wallet silently, thinking that he had become a rich man, but now he finds that he is still a poor man.

"Maybe I should see if jadeite can replace jade and be used for formation." Now is not the era when the price of jadeite soared 10 years later.

When he was working, Ming Wuxiang would hear his female colleagues talking about the price of jade from time to time, the price was simply staggering. Before, he thought that the price of diamonds was expensive enough, but finally he found that emeralds are also quite diverse.

Of course, Ming Wuxiang didn't want to buy those already cut jadeites, but wanted to try a plot that often appeared in novels-gambling stones.

Ten years later, the price of emeralds remained high, and at the same time, the industry of betting on stones was promoted. In various online novels that became popular a few years later, the plot of betting on stones is a must-have plot in certain urban novels. In addition, there happened to be such an opportunity this time, Ming Wuxiang felt that his hands began to itch.

"I don't know if the spiritual sense can scan out whether there is jade in the stone. The novel is written like this, but the reality may not be like this. And if it can really be scanned, the monks in this world will definitely not be so calm."

Every time I see how the protagonist in the novel pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, I offer a top-quality emerald at the lowest price, and then look at all the cannon fodder who despise the protagonist.

This kind of plot is quite cool to watch. Ming Wuxiang doesn’t know if he has the aura of the protagonist above his head, but he can still try it. If it doesn’t work, then he can only buy a good bare stone.

Of course, the premise is that the emerald contains spiritual power, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Ming Wuxiang still didn't want to use the money his grandfather left him, so the only thing he could use was the money left after selling the hundred-year-old wild ginseng. In addition, there is still some left for capital operation, and in the end Ming Wuxiang only spent 1.5 million to buy stones.

Spending 1.5 million to buy stones sounds quite heroic, but if you are buying jade and jade, 1.5 million is really not much.

The formation must be completed as soon as possible, so the purchase of jade cannot be delayed.

Ming Wuxiang suddenly felt that he was so busy during the few days of vacation. Two days ago, I ran to the Wolong Mountains, and brought back a hundred-year-old wild ginseng plus Mr. Gu. On the third day, I sold ginseng to buy medicinal seedlings. On the fourth day, I will go to the mountain market next to the flower market tomorrow. Betting stones.

Fortunately, it only takes two hours to drive from Luoye Village to the mountain market, which is about the same as going to the flower market. Otherwise, the trip back and forth would be really fatal. Fortunately, he is a monk now, so he can run around like this physically.

Luoye Village doesn't have a bus to Shanshi, but he can ask Li Jiahua if he can take a bus to Shanshi. He remembers that Li Jiahua's uncle has a cooperation with the supermarket in Shanshi. That Uncle Li cooperated with a supermarket in Shanshi City, and delivered a batch of fresh vegetables to the supermarket warehouse before 9:30 every morning.

It shouldn't be a problem to rub the car, it's just... Thinking of this, Ming Wuxiang shifted his gaze to the direction of the guest room. Unleashing his consciousness, he soon saw that Gu Tang had already changed his clothes and was sitting on the bed in the guest room.

Ming Wuxiang saw the scene of the feedback from the spiritual consciousness, paused, then got up from the bed as if nothing had happened, left the room and walked to the guest room.

After coming out of the washroom, Gu Tang used a new phone to contact his family, telling them that this was the number he was using now, and still telling them not to investigate where he is now. This is also to protect him, who knows if all the spies that those people planted in Yanhuang Kingdom have been arrested.

If not, after learning that Gu Tang has escaped, they will definitely monitor the movements of Gu Tang's family, and then find out where Gu Tang is based on clues.

Gu Mingwei also thought of this reason, so he didn't insist on asking where Gu Tang was now. Although he was worried about his son's situation, Gu Mingwei believed in him more.

The same is true for Gu Fengmao, the current head of the Gu family. The old man Gu who was in the Tang family received a call from his second son, saying that there was news about Gu Tang's child, and hurried back. With the appearance of other people in the family, the heart that has been carrying it has finally settled down.

The Gu family, who knew there was news about Gu Tang, held a short meeting and decided not to spread the news about Gu Tang for the time being. As for Gu Tang, he didn't take the initiative to speak up, so they shouldn't take any action. Everything is based on Gu Tang's safety.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Gu Tang's arrangement. Even the Gu family didn't know where Gu Tang was, and it was even more impossible to investigate those who were hiding in the dark.

Especially on the second day, Gu Mingwei received a call from Gu Tang, saying that the person who saved him had started to treat his legs. Gu Mingwei, as a father, was very excited when he heard the good news. After holding back for a long time, I couldn't resist asking for more details. In the end, I just told Gu Tang when I ended the call that if I encountered something that I couldn't handle, I must notify my family.

Although Gu Tang understood that if even Ming Wuxiang, a monk with extraordinary strength, could not cope with the situation, his family might not be able to help, but he finally agreed, just to let his father and the others feel at ease.

Not long after Gu Tang put away his phone, he heard a knock on the door of the room, and Ming Wuxiang was the only one who would look for him at this time.

Not knowing what Ming Wuxiang was up to, Gu Tang didn't delay, and asked Ming Wuxiang to come in.

Seeing Ming Wuxiang, Gu Tang's expression softened a bit, and he said softly, "What's the matter?"

Ming Wuxiang rubbed his nose and nodded, "Yeah." Seeing Ming Wuxiang nodding, Gu Tang was even more curious, and motioned Ming Wuxiang to sit down before talking, "Sit down and talk slowly."

Ming Wuxiang was not polite to Gu Tang, he pulled the stool in the guest room, took off the bed and sat down, before asking: "Gu Tang, do you know about Fei Cui?"

Yes, what Ming Wuxiang wanted to ask Gu Tang was about jadeite. Strictly speaking, Ming Wuxiang has three lifetimes, and he really doesn't know anything about rich people's stuff like jadeite. To be able to know what kind of glass is imperial green, what is cracked and what is broken, these are all from the novel.

It's good if his spiritual sense can tell whether there is jade in the stone, if not, he will use the 1.5 million to gamble on the stone, doubting whether he can see even a splash.

As for why he asked Gu Tang, in the hearts of ordinary citizens like Ming Wuxiang, he always thought that a wealthy young master like Gu Tang would definitely play or have played stone gambling, so he didn't ask him who to ask.

Gu Tang didn't know why Ming Wuxiang suddenly asked him this question, although he had been abroad for the past three years, but before going abroad, Gu Tang still had a good understanding of the jadeite industry. Because the third aunt's family is a jewelry company, the focus was on gold and jade ornaments before. When jade began to be loved by the aristocracy, half of the resources were allocated to jade.

Gu Tang didn't need to go out of his way to understand it, he had a certain understanding of jadeite under the influence of whispering and seeing.

Seeing Gu Tang nodding his head, Ming Wuxiang continued to ask: "What about betting on stones, do you understand?"

Seeing Ming Wuxiang's brighter eyes, Gu Tang couldn't help but smile, and replied modestly: "I understand a little, but I can't compare to those professional stone gamblers."

Knowing these two words a little, they are very meaningful. Ming Wuxiang glanced at the smiling Gu Tang, how can he not see that Gu is always modest. Since the other party knows how to gamble with stones, Ming Wuxiang will definitely not let him go.

Without waiting for Gu Tang to ask, he immediately told Gu Tang about tomorrow's arrangements, "I want to buy some jadeite, preferably loose stone, but you know, the price of jadeite is not low now, so, ahem, if possible, I would like to buy some jadeite." Go to Shanshi to try gambling on stones."

Ming Wuxiang does not mind letting Gu Tang know that he is short of money, and Gu Tang will not tell Ming Wuxiang carelessly that I will give you how much you lack, although such behavior is very domineering.

Gu Tang will never forget Mingwuxiang's life-saving grace, but the way of repaying him will not be in terms of money, especially when the other party has not asked, if you give money, people will have the feeling of using money to offset the kindness. Therefore, Gu Tang's repayment is different and more suitable.

"I'll go with you tomorrow." There was no need for Ming Wuxiang to invite, the tone of Gu Tang's words carried the meaning of not being able to refuse.

Ming Wuxiang is a monk, very powerful. However, Gu Tang did not forget that Ming Wuxiang had just come of age, and the gambling stone street in the mountain city was full of fish and dragons, so it was not a place for a child like Ming Wuxiang to go casually.

Fortunately, Ming Wuxiang didn't know Gu Tang's thoughts, or he didn't know how to complain, not to mention that he had lived for 28 years before, and he had been in the world of cultivating immortals for nearly a hundred years. Adding up, being Gu Tang's grandfather No problem.

It’s just that during those years in the world of cultivating immortals, Ming Wuxiang rarely had contact with outsiders at the beginning. Except for buying and selling spiritual plants and elixirs, he spent most of his time practicing alone in the barren mountains and old forests. The monks in the golden core stage have a certain ability to protect themselves, so they go out for a walk and meet more monks.

Because if you want to continue to break through, in addition to the resources such as pills, you also need to go through various experiences. It is precisely because of the contact with outsiders that some old foxes in the world of cultivating immortals guess that Ming Wuxiang, a casual cultivator with both water and wood inspirations, must have a powerful inheritance.

If it weren't for a kid who didn't have a master and a master to support him, it would be impossible for him to break through the pill and become a baby in less than a hundred years.

Accompanying Ming Wuxiang to Gambling Stone Street in Shanshi City is undeniable, but Gu Tang looked at his legs, the unfavorable condition made Gu Tang frowned, aware of Gu Tang's gaze of Ming Wuxiang, and immediately opened his mouth to explain One sentence, "You don't need to say that I am going to let you go with me. To be honest, I really don't understand those jadeites."

"Tomorrow morning we can take Li Jiahua's uncle's car and go out. Although that car is used to deliver goods, it is no problem for people." The car of Li Jiahua's uncle has never been seen before, it is a four-seater Jeep with cargo.

It's no problem to go out, they can take a taxi directly when they come back, but Ming Wuxiang thought of another thing, "By the way, we're going out tomorrow, there shouldn't be many people who recognize you, right?"

Ming Wuxiang didn't want to meet someone who knew Gu Tang on Gambling Stone Street tomorrow. He really didn't want Gu Tang to be recognized before Gu Tang's legs were completely healed.

If he didn't need to trouble Gu Tang for help this time, he didn't want Gu Tang to go out.

Knowing what Ming Wuxiang was worried about, Gu Tang comforted him: "Don't worry, I have been abroad for the past three years, and I only came back in March this year." He is small and doesn't have much contact with outsiders.

Ming Wuxiang nodded, expressing that he understood. Taking care of Tang said so, they should not bump into acquaintances when they go to Shanshi tomorrow.

Discuss with Gu Tang about the time to go out tomorrow, and Ming Wuxiang will not disturb him to rest anymore. After drinking the medicine to regulate the body today, Gu Tang's spirit has become better, but when it is time to rest, he still needs to rest.

Saying goodnight to Gu Tang, Ming Wuxiang went back to the room and checked the time, it was still early, that kid Li Jiahua would definitely be a night owl during the holidays, not to mention that the current time is just after nine o'clock.

Received a call from Ming Wuxiang and asked him to ask his cousin if he could take a bus to Shanshi tomorrow morning. With Li Jiahua's curiosity, he would definitely not miss what Ming Wuxiang would do in Shanshi tomorrow. So when he heard that Ming Wuxiang wanted to gamble on Stone Street, he immediately jumped up from the sofa.

Like a repeater, he kept yelling into the phone: "I want to go too, and I want to go too, Lord Dao, you can't abandon me, brother."

"... Why does it sound like I'm one of those heartless people." Ming Wuxiang could only roll his eyes at Li Jiahua's reaction, "Okay, don't yell, you can ask your cousin first, if there is no problem, then go together tomorrow."

One more Li Jiahua is not too many, and one less him is not too many, if he wants to go, he can go together.

"Okay, there should be no problem with Uncle Tang, I will give you news later."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, wait for good news from brother."

Putting the phone aside, Ming Wuxiang lay on the bed, and took an A4-sized sketchbook on the side coffee table, not to draw, but to calculate the position of the formation based on the terrain trend of the mountain behind the yard.
