Dong Guofeng suppressed his inner curiosity and turned around to leave.
He was seriously injured and would be very vulnerable to misfortune in the event of an accident.
But just a few steps away, that strange bell rang again.
Dongguo Feng stamped his feet and turned around suddenly.
That wisp of bell sound came from a mysterious pawn shop not far away!
At this moment, the closed door of the bamboo building opened from the inside, revealing a figure.
This is a short old man, dressed as a businessman, with a mustache, a black round hat on his head, and his hands in his sleeves.
Under the shadow of the orange lights on the eaves, you can clearly see that the little old man is smiling and amiable.
“Guest, my pawnshop has not been open for a long time. It’s rare that I meet a swordsman like our guest tonight. Please come in and talk.”
As he spoke, he slightly clasped his fists in a gesture of invitation.
Dong Guofeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Dare I ask if that bell was made by a senior?"
Before, it was that strange bell that woke him up like a wake-up call from his hazy state.
It can be said that if this saved his sword heart!
The short old man smiled warmly and said: "Senior, I don't dare to act like this. Guests can just call me 'Lao Chaofeng'."
Chaofeng is a name for the pawnshop owner.
There is no doubt that the short old man is the owner of this mysterious pawn shop.
“As for the bell, it is not controlled by the little old man. Whenever it senses a guest who is qualified to enter this pawn shop, it will take the initiative to make a sound and invite the guest to come.”
The short old man who called himself "Lao Chaofeng" had a meaningful look in his eyes and said, "Even the little old man didn't expect that after so many years, he would meet such a customer on this Cangqing Continent... a sword cultivator who is qualified to enter a pawn shop.
"
The word "Jianxiu" came out of his mouth, adding a strange flavor.
Dong Guofeng said with an moved expression: "Senior, what you mean is that only those selected by the bell will have the opportunity to enter this pawn shop?"
Lao Chaofeng smiled and nodded. He did not correct Dong Guofeng's title of himself and said: "Guest, please."
Dong Guofeng took a deep breath and walked in.
The first floor of the Bamboo Building is extremely vast, with a counter spread across it, and on it are an abacus, a bronze lamp, and a steel scale.
Behind the counter, there is a shelf full of items.
The copper lamps and candles were as bright as beans, and the light and shadow were dim, making the rest of the area around the pawn shop look very dark, as if shrouded in mist.
Lao Chaofeng stood behind the counter, and the dim shadow of the lamp reflected on his warm and kind face, adding a touch of mystery.
As soon as Dong Guo Fengfu came in, he was attracted by a sword at first sight.
This sword hangs in the corner of the top of the container. It is as thin as a cicada's wing, like a clear stream of autumn water. On the hilt of the sword, there are two small characters "yinghuo" engraved on it.
However, no matter how hard Dong Guofeng tried, he could not sense any breath from this sword.
"This sword was pawned by a Xuanyou realm sword king a long time ago. It has been more than ten thousand years ago. According to the agreement, if he does not come to redeem it within ten thousand years, this sword will belong to this pawn shop.
, available for exchange by guests.”
Lao Chaofeng said softly, "However, this sword is too fierce and not suitable for guests."
Dongguo Feng was horrified, a Xuanyou Realm Sword King stayed behind!?
Which sword king would be willing to pawn his sword?
After calming down his mind, Dong Guofeng moved his eyes and saw that there were various treasures on the shelves, such as Taoist scriptures.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Seal, vase, jade ruler, furnace tripod, etc.
In addition, there are also some other strange things, such as hairpins, jade pendants, hair, animal skins, bones, etc.
No matter what kind of items they are, they are covered with an invisible force. You can only see them, but you cannot sense the breath of those items.
When he saw a severed hand displayed on the shelf, Dong Guofeng couldn't help but be startled.
This severed hand is slender and crystal clear, with white and slender fingers.
Just seeing it gives people a sense of surprise.
This is undoubtedly a woman's hand.
“Senior, this hand...”
Dong Guofeng couldn't help but ask.
Lao Chaofeng said in a casual tone: "This is the left hand that was pawned by an empress, just to exchange it for her beloved man to get a magical medicine that can bring the dead back to life."
“Left by a female emperor...”
Dong Guofeng's heart trembled, and he subconsciously asked, "Senior, are the items on these shelves all left by people in the imperial realm?"
Lao Chaofeng shook his head and said: "No, from ancient times to the present, the guests invited by the bell include both emperors and ordinary warriors who have just begun to practice. No matter what their origin, what ethnic group they are, whether they are human or ghost, demon or monster, as long as they are
Anyone who is invited by the bell is qualified to enter the door of this pawn shop."
"I see……"
Dong Guofeng said to himself, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.
What kind of pawn shop is this that is so incredible?
At this moment, Dong Guofeng even felt as unreal as a dream.
"Guests, according to the rules of the pawn shop, guests can put forward any needs they have when they come in. As long as our pawn shop can handle it, we will satisfy it."
Lao Chaofeng pressed his finger on the abacus on the counter and said with a smile, "Of course, the premise is that the guest must pay an equal price. This is the so-called pawn."
Dong Guofeng couldn't help but be surprised and considered: "If I want to become an emperor, can your pawnshop help me achieve it?"
Lao Chaofeng said with a smile: "Yes."
He pointed to the steel scale on the counter and said: "As long as the guest puts his hand on the scale and gets its approval, the guest will take out what he likes and pawn it, and the little old man will hand over the method of becoming an emperor."
To the guests.”
Dong Guofeng couldn't help but be surprised.
He originally just made an outrageous request as a test, but he never thought that the other party seemed to be able to do it!
“Then…what if I want that sword?”
Dong Guofeng looked at the Yinghuo Sword hanging on the shelf.
Lao Chaofeng said with a smile: "It's still the same method. As long as you get the approval of the steelyard and pawn it, you'll be fine."
Dong Guofeng finally figured it out, "In other words, if the scale doesn't approve it, I won't be able to get what I want."
Lao Chaofeng said meaningfully: "Guests, sometimes when there are too many choices, you don't know what you really want most, and this steel scale can help you know."
Dong Guofeng was surprised and said: "Seriously?"
Lao Chaofeng smiled and said: "Young men are not deceived. The guests will know after trying it."
Dong Guofeng hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, I have no need here, so there is no need to give it a try."
Lao Chaofeng's eyes were subtle, his smile became warmer, and he said: "It is reasonable for the guests to be wary, but according to the rules, if you enter the pawn shop but do not conduct a transaction, you will be punished."
Dong Guofeng’s pupils suddenly shrank and he said, “Senior, are you planning to buy and sell by force?”
Lao Chaofeng shook his head and said: "Guests, don't panic. It's just the rules of the pawn shop. The so-called punishment
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Punishment is just a small admonishment, and it will never kill the guest."
Dong Guofeng frowned and said, "Then how should I be punished?"
Lao Chaofeng picked up the abacus on the counter and said, "Of course it's up to me to do the calculations."
Speaking of this, he looked at Dong Guofeng and said with a kind smile: "Guest, you have a low level of cultivation and don't understand the pawn shop. You probably don't know what kind of extraordinary situation you are encountering now.
good fortune."
“Throughout the ages, there have been people of the imperial realm with heaven-reaching skills, who have acquired their favorite treasures here, and there have also been ordinary warriors, who have received heaven-reaching inheritance and changed their fates against the will of heaven.”
“Paying a reciprocal price for this is the fairest thing in itself.”
After a pause, Lao Chaofeng said with a smile, "Of course, if the guest refuses, I won't force him. I just don't want the guest to miss this good fortune."
“After all, throughout the ages, the people who can be invited by the bell are only a handful of people among all living beings.”
Dong Guofeng was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "What I desire will be obtained by my own efforts, not by transactions."
Lao Chaofeng had a look of regret in his eyes and nodded: "Then we can only use this abacus to figure out how to punish the guests."
Dong Guofeng's heart tightened and he became alert.
The dimly lustrous abacus suddenly started to vibrate on its own, and the beads moved rapidly one by one, making a crisp and dense sound.
But at this moment——
Dang!
A rapid bell rang, causing Lao Chaofeng's short figure to tremble all over. Before he could recover, the abacus on the counter suddenly trembled.
Even the beams and weights of the steelyard were shaking violently.
Lao Chaofeng's expression changed completely, his kind and gentle face turned into one of shock and anger, and his hands were trembling.
Dong Guofeng couldn't help but be surprised, what happened?
Time passes bit by bit.
Lao Chaofeng's expression was uncertain. After a long time, he nodded imperceptibly.
Then, the rapid ringing of the bells fell silent and disappeared, and the abacus and the scales both stopped and returned to calm.
At this moment, Lao Chaofeng suddenly took a deep breath, raised his hand and pointed at the abacus on the counter, and congratulated Dong Guofeng with a smile:
“Guest, congratulations. The result of the abacus is that this time not only will the guest be exempted from punishment, but he will also be given a lucky charm!”
“Give me a gift of fate?”
Dong Guofeng was a little confused.
However, he was keenly aware that after the incident just now, the mysterious old court official's attitude towards him had obviously undergone an astonishing change!
“Yes, I have to say that the guest is indeed a very lucky person with good fortune...”
Lao Chaofeng's eyes were complicated, his voice was weak, and he seemed very perfunctory.
As he spoke, he reached out and tapped the scale.
Dang!
The steelyard trembled slightly, and a ray of glow suddenly appeared on the scale. In a flash of light, a bronze box appeared on the counter out of thin air.
The bronze box is two feet long, and its surface is covered with dense and strange Taoist patterns, exuding a heavy aura of vicissitudes of time.
When he saw this thing, the corners of Lao Chaofeng's lips twitched violently, and his heart was bleeding.
At this moment, he had the urge to smash the scale with a slap!
You damn bastard, even if you are afraid of that guy named Su, you can't take out this treasure!
