Chapter 20 Bright Moon Jade Pendant (1)
After leaving the Yuhua Xiaoxiu, Xiao Yi went straight to the pawn shop in the north of the city.
The pawnshop owner saw that the finely carved jade pendant that Xiao Yi was supposed to be was the best among the best, and it was worth at least 100 gold. His eyes suddenly shone. Seeing that Xiao Yi was just a child, he suddenly became treacherous and gave Xiao Yi only dozens of copper coins.
"Are I a kid easy to fool?"
Xiao Yi was furious. Although he didn't know the true value of the jade, he was sure that there were more than a few dozen copper plates.
"It's just a piece of ordinary jade. You're a kid. Our shop is so innocent. Let's buy you ten copper coins to eat."
The pawnshop owner said and took out ten more copper plates. Obviously, he thought Xiao Yi came to pawn just to buy delicious food. Generally, in this case, the pawnshop either secretly carried the adults on their backs or came from the streets, so he thought that Xiao Yi would agree.
Xiao Yi knew that the pawn shop owners were mostly robbing the goods, so he said, "You think I am a three-year-old child? If you just want to eat a piece of candy, you don't have to use the ancestral jade pendant to pawn it! If my sister hadn't been seriously ill and needed a lot of money to treat her in bed, I wouldn't have pawned it! If you bully me at a young age, I wouldn't have traded it with you. The capital is so big, and there are not enough pawn shops!"
Xiao Yi took back the jade pendant and turned around and left.
The pawnshop owner was stunned at first, hurriedly chased him out, shouting, "Don't worry! Don't worry! It turns out that you came to pawn the jade pendant for your sister's treatment! I really admired this at such a young age. Because your sister is seriously ill and continues to ask for money, I won't make money this time. How about giving you twenty coins? Looking at the entire capital, it is impossible for anyone to give you this price."
The pawnshop owner acted like a real person, and his honest look on his face seemed to be really hard to tell the truth about this statement.
However, Xiao Yi was worried about his sister's safety, and in desperation, he didn't care about bargaining, so he took twenty jin of five zhu coins and rushed to the clinic, but he didn't even care about asking for a ticket.
Looking at Xiao Yi's departure back, the pawnshop owner played with the jade pendant and said proudly: "It's just a child after all!"
At this moment, two young women in white samurai uniforms passed by. The deal between the pawnshop owner and Xiao Yi attracted the attention of the two.
The two girls are tall and short, and they both wear long swords around their waists. They are supposed to be people in the martial arts world.
Seeing the two girls coming over, the pawnshop owner did not dare to neglect and hurried forward and greeted: "The two fairies are here to visit our store, I don't know if it's a pawn or a redemption."
The second goddess looked serious, but her eyes were on the jade pendant.
The owner of the pawnshop saw the words and said with a smile: "The two fairies really have good eyesight! This jade pendant is a rare ice-bred mutton fat jade, and the knife polishing is first-class. The new product has just been obtained in the store. If the two fairies are interested, take 500 gold."
Twenty cents should be earned, but they will sell them for 500 yuan. This pawnshop owner is really bad.
The tall woman took the jade pendant and her eyes fell on the word "Bright Moon" and her expression suddenly changed.
The short woman next to her was shocked and said, "Sister Yuanzhen, isn't this the legendary token of the Mingyue Demon Sect?"
The woman, who was called Senior Sister Yuanzhen, nodded and snorted coldly: "That's right! It's indeed the token worn by the Mingyue Demon Sect, and the level is not low!"
When the pawnshop owner heard that it was a wearable by the Demon Sect, he was shocked.
The pawnshop owner also traveled around the world when he was young and had some knowledge of the origin of the Mingyue Demon Sect.
Mingyue is the largest demon sect force in the world. It is said that it was founded by Concubine Xia, the biological mother of Xiao Fangzhi, the last emperor of Liang in the previous dynasty. After Chen Baxian usurped the throne and seized the emperor, he was worried that the former Liang minister would rekindle, so he sent people to poison Xiao Fangzhi. In order to avenge his son, Concubine Xia gathered old subordinates of the Liang Dynasty to fight against Chen. After being bloody suppressed by Chen Baxian, he hid in the world and established the Mingyue Holy Sect to continue to fight against Chen Ting.
Since the Mingyue Holy Sect is an anti-Court organization, it is not recognized by the government. Under the pressure of the government, the major sects in the world call the Mingyue Holy Sect the Demon Sect the Demon Sect, and have fought with it for decades to become a dead enemy of water and fire.
There are rumors in the martial arts world that the Mingyue Holy Sect is well organized, with masters everywhere, and the church is spread all over the country. The previous generation leader Xia Dingtian was called the Demon Lord by the Central Plains Martial Arts. It is said that his martial arts are extraordinary and invincible in the world. Twenty years ago, he led his subordinates, the two envoys of Mingyue, the five elders, the seven-sided hall masters, the thirty-six helmsman, and hundreds of martial arts masters of the Mingyue Holy Sect attacked Wentian Pavilion, which was known as the largest sect in the martial arts world in the Central Plains. The battle shocked the world and cried ghosts and gods, and countless casualties on both sides. Countless martial arts masters in the Central Plains fell like a superstar, and were later generations called it the number one catastrophe in the Jiangtian Lake in a century.
After that battle, the Mingyue Holy Sect, which had the upper hand, suddenly disappeared for some reason. From then on, the world returned to peace, but those who walked through the world were even more afraid of the Mingyue Holy Sect.
After the two girls asked, the pawnshop owner told the origin of the jade pendant without saying a word.
"Not good! It's the child just now!"
Yuanzhen suddenly exclaimed, she was going to chase Xiao Yi. But she was holding the jade pendant, but the pawnshop owner held her and refused to let go.
In desperation, Yuanzhen had to say to her junior sister: "Junior sister Yuanmiao went to chase the child first, and the senior sister bought the jade pendant and then arrived."
Yuanmiao took the order and hurriedly chased after the pawnshop owner's direction.
The pawnshop owner saw that the jade pendant was very important to the woman named Yuanzhen in front of him, so he immediately asked for a price of 500 gold, which was unbearable to Yuanzhen.
"I only have five taels of silver here, so I will make a deposit for you first." Yuanzhen gave all the silver she had on her body to the pawnshop owner, and then warned: "This jade pendant must not be given to others, let alone mentioned it to anyone. I will bring five hundred gold to you before noon tomorrow. Remember!"
The pawnshop owner was secretly happy when he saw that the other party had taken out silver. You must know that silver was a rare commodity in this era, with a currency that was priceless and could only be used by wealthy families or sects.
The snake swallows the elephant when the pawnshop owner finally meets a big fat sheep and wants to kill the other party a few more times. So he said, "Since this thing is a magic sect, it is a hot item. The villain is terrible to have a lot of dreams at night. If you buy it at noon tomorrow, it will be 800 gold."
Yuanzhen was furious and said, "How could you, a profiteer, be so despicable? Could you be arguing with us? Do you want to be against Tiange?"
The pawnshop owner had planned to eat Yuanzhen, but when he heard the three words Wentiange, he suddenly felt timid, but he didn't dare to increase the price.
Seeing that the pawnshop owner was scared, Yuanzhen glared at him angrily, and then hurriedly chased her junior sister.
The pawnshop owner returned to the store and couldn't help but weigh the snowflakes and silver in his hand, then took a few more bites, making sure he was not dreaming.
Unexpectedly, a piece of jade pendant could actually earn him 500 gold, and he was so excited that he couldn't help laughing.
Just when the pawnshop owner was proud, he didn't notice a dark shadow appeared in front of him like a ghost.
A sword light flashed, and the pawnshop owner was full of horror, and blood immediately splattered on the spot.
The murderer was wearing a green robe and a hood, but he couldn't see his appearance clearly. He found the jade pendant with the word "Bright Moon" from the pawnshop owner, kicked the body and confirmed that it was dead. He set fire to the fire before leaving.
Yuanmiao chased Xiao Yi all the way, but unexpectedly, he, a child, ran very fast. It was the morning market at this time, and there were many vendors on the street. Xiao Yi was a little flexible and convenient to walk, so Yuanmiao lost it in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yi hurried to the clinic to ask the doctor for help. Unexpectedly, the doctors were all shy when they heard that they were going to Yuhua Xiaoxie. They lied that the journey was long and they shook their heads and refused.
"It's outrageous! How can a group of unmedical guys be worthy of being doctors!"
After leaving the clinic, Xiao Yi immediately cursed. He was about to go to other clinics to find a doctor, but unexpectedly, a man was walking here not far from the door, using a sign of practicing medicine and saving the world.
The man was about forty years old, with a straight facial features and a kind face. A goat beard was very clean and regular.
Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Do you dare to ask if you are a doctor?"
The man looked up and down at Xiao Yi, shook the sign that said that practicing medicine and saving the world, and nodded, "That's right! My friends in the Jianghu call me Dr. Xue for face! My friend looks very healthy. Could it be that his family is sick?"
Xiao Yi nodded and bowed his hands and said with courtesy: "It turns out to be Doctor Xue! I feel respectful and disrespectful!"
Xiao Yi greeted him politely, and when he went out, he really didn't believe it. He glanced at the four big words "Practice and Help the World" on the sign, but the ink traces were not dry, and he suddenly felt alert.
"You are so unemployed, a liar? You didn't even have the signature moji to cheat. Could it be that you just prepared it when you saw me entering the clinic?"
Doctor Xue seemed very surprised, and then he noticed that the words on his sign were indeed not dry, and his face was flushed.
"This—this—"
Doctor Xue hesitated for a long time before coming up with a reasonable explanation, so he said, "Don't doubt it. There are three urgent things for people. I didn't know which person was stolen from the original sign when I went to the toilet just now. So the sign in front of me was just written right."
Xiao Yi felt that the person in front of him was not good at lying at all, but most of the doctors in the martial arts world were fake, and they were concerned about their sister's safety, so they had to tell them apart.
Xiao Yi then told Doctor Xue about his sister's symptoms. Doctor Xue quickly prescribed a treatment prescription for Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi further asked why he prescribed this prescription, but Doctor Xue explained it one by one as if he had known it.
Although Xiao Yi does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, he still has some understanding of common diseases.
After eliminating the doubts in his heart, Xiao Yi said: "Then it's time for the miracle doctor to go to the humble house. I just don't know how much the miracle doctor's medical treatment fee is? Is it enough to pay for ten cents of money?"
Doctor Xue suddenly raised his beard and glared and said, "Can I just ten coins of money be able to invite me Doctor Xue? You little baby is too ignorant!"
Xiao Yi said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I just pawned the family jade pendant left by my grandmother for twenty cents of money, and I still have to keep ten cents of money to get medicine for my sister. I really can't get more."
Doctor Xue didn't seem surprised. He just looked at Xiao Yi's nervous look when he held the twenty-stop coins in his hand tightly for fear of being taken away. He immediately smiled and said, "I am willing to do it for free. I don't have to worry about the little baby. Just lead the way."
Seeing that Doctor Xue shook his sign, Xiao Yi immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, Doctor Xue!"
Xiao Yi then led the way and went to Yuhua Xiaoxie with Dr. Xue.
