Zhou Na looked at Li Muchen in the rearview mirror with some surprise.
"Mr. Li is really a smart man."
Zhou Na readily admitted.
Li Muchen didn't say anything else and continued to close his eyes and rest.
The car drove into the underground parking lot of a somewhat dilapidated six-story building in the west of the city.
After parking the car, Zhou Na took them into the elevator, swiped the card, and pressed the button for the sixth floor on the top floor.
"This used to be the largest flea market in Hecheng. The bottom three floors were all stalls, the fourth floor was the furniture floor, and the fifth floor was the office area. The sixth floor used to be idle. Later, Uncle Ming bought it and turned it into the current exchange.
.”
Zhou Na introduced.
"You can go to other floors freely, but the sixth floor is a club system, so you have to swipe your card."
While talking, the elevator reached the sixth floor.
When the elevator door opens, you are faced with a screen wall about two meters high. On the wall is a relief sculpture of a blue dragon flowing out of water. There is a large blue and white vat directly under the faucet. Water flows from the dragon's mouth and falls into the vat, like a waterfall.
The biggest function of the screen wall is to block Feng Shui evil spirits. It is usually placed in the middle of the ancient courtyard at the entrance.
It is very rare to move the screen wall indoors.
The owner here does not use a screen, but uses a screen wall, probably because he is afraid that the screen will not be able to block the evil spirits.
Li Muchen judged that the goods coming in and out of here must often contain unclean things.
It seems that Uncle Ming is also a person who believes in Feng Shui.
Going around the screen wall, there is a small hall. Passing through the corridor from the side of the small hall, you will see a large door.
The door is open, and there is a hall inside.
However, the luxurious scene of the private club that was imagined did not appear. It was just a rough ground floor without any decoration.
The hall was like a trade fair, with dozens of stalls set up, some large, some small, some with coffee tables and rattan chairs, where three or five people sat together to drink tea, and some spread a piece of cloth on the ground and sat on the floor, with things randomly placed.
Set aside.
There are also many people wandering around in the hall, stopping to ask for a price when they see something they want.
Ma Shan curled his lips and said, "Isn't this just a street stall night market?"
Zhou Na smiled and said, "You're right, but don't underestimate this place. Sometimes tens of millions of dollars are sold in one night, which is nothing new."
Mashan was speechless: "So many? You can make a fortune just by pumping water."
But Zhou Na said: "Uncle Ming never pumps except for special shoots. Okay, you can go in and see for yourself. I don't know much about these things, so I won't accompany you. Whenever you want to leave, give me a call
.”
Li Muchen nodded, said thank you, and entered the trading room with Ma Shan.
They wandered around casually, of course, their main goal was to gamble on stones.
There are also several stalls selling rough jade stones, one of which is relatively large and occupies a corner of the hall. There are many people inside looking at the stones.
Li Muchen walked over and spread out his spiritual consciousness, sweeping over the stones one after another.
Wherever his consciousness passed, the inner texture of the stone was clearly visible in his mind, and he knew exactly what materials were inside the stone.
I walked around and looked at hundreds of stones, large and small, but I didn't like any of them.
That’s not to say that there aren’t good materials in these stones, but the prices are generally very high. Those with slightly green windows start at tens of thousands.
Li Muchen didn't know the market price of jade, so even if there was something in it, he couldn't be sure whether it was worth it.
As for most stones, he doesn't need to understand the market to know that they will definitely lose money.
For example, there is a stone weighing about ten kilograms. The window is full of green, and the price is 300,000. But in fact, the place where the window is opened is a little green. The ground inside is not clean at all, the flesh is thick, and there are cracks. It is difficult to make a brand.
"How's it going? Is there anything you like?"
Ma Shan was a little anxious when he saw that Li Muchen didn't squat down to look at it at all, but just walked among the stones.
Li Muchen shook his head: "Let's go and have a look over there."
…
On the other side of the hall on the sixth floor, Feng Tianming and Zhou Na were sitting in a luxuriously decorated and elegantly decorated office drinking tea.
In front of him, there was a large screen on which scenes from various locations in the trading floor could be seen.
At this time, one of the scenes was zoomed in, which was the corner of Gambling Stone where Li Muchen was.
In the picture, Li Muchen was walking slowly through the rocks.
He walked slowly, but did not stop.
"Are you sure they are here to gamble on stones?" Feng Tianming asked, looking at the screen.
Zhou Na nodded and said, "I don't know Li Muchen, but Ma Shan is a straight-tempered person and he won't lie to me."
Then he asked: "Uncle Ming, why are you so concerned about him, just because he knows Master Qiantang Kun?"
Feng Tianming shook his head and said: "If he were just a friend of Master Kun, I would at most respect him a little bit, but yesterday he defeated Master Hong, who is the representative of the Southern Tai Chi in Hecheng. After returning, I asked
Master Hong, although he said he was not convinced, he was convinced in his heart. What made Master Hong angry was that this Li Muchen used Tai Chi Kung Fu."
"Didn't he say that you are now learning and selling now?"
"Hmph! He's learning boxing now and selling it now? Master Hong has been practicing boxing for thirty years before he achieved such an achievement. He easily defeated Master Hong. Do you think he's learning boxing now and selling it now? Is it possible?"
"So, he is also a member of the Taiji sect?"
"Master Hong thinks he is from the Northern Tai Chi school and is here to kick things off on purpose."
"But it was obviously a chance encounter yesterday."
"Whether it was an accidental encounter or intentional, this is a matter within their Tai Chi sect. Hong Tiancheng has already reported to the Southern Tai Chi general helmsman. When the time comes, someone will naturally come to tell whether it is Li Kui or Li Gui."
Feng Tianming took a sip of tea and said, "In my line of work, there will inevitably be times when problems need to be solved by force. I hired Master Hong at a great cost. But you also know that these old people who practice Tai Chi pride themselves on
A person from a well-known and upright family must have a good reputation, and there are some things that he doesn't even bother to do. I need a master like Li Muchen by my side."
"Uncle Ming wants to recruit him, but..." Zhou Na said worriedly, "This man is very arrogant, I'm afraid..."
"Human beings have weaknesses. Since he came to gamble on stones today, it means he is short of money." Uncle Ming said confidently.
Zhou Na was slightly startled: "Uncle Ming, are you setting a trap for them?"
Feng Tianming smiled and said: "How could I use such dirty tricks on a person like this? I'm just curious. With his skill, there are many ways to make money, so why come to gamble on stones? Gambling on stones is not about fighting, only relying on his skills
Brute force is not enough, you have to rely on your eyesight."
…
There are several shops selling rough jadeite in the market, but their scale is relatively small.
Li Muchen visited two more houses, but still found no stones worth buying.
Ma Shan was a little anxious: "Mu Chen, is this okay? Otherwise, we can just buy a piece. Anyway, it's a one-time deal. If you win, you'll be the young model in the club, if you lose, you'll go home and eat instant noodles."
Li Muchen smiled and said: "Don't worry, we won't go back empty-handed today anyway."
The reason why he was so confident was because when Li Muchen was walking around just now, he didn't find any good stones, but he found a few valuable antiques.
Among them was an ancient bronze mirror, which was obviously newly unearthed and still contained the yin energy of the underground soil.
From the faint aura emanating from the thick green rust cover, Li Muchen concluded that this was a magic weapon in ancient times, but it had been damaged and needed to be repaired.
However, even if a magical weapon of this level was completely repaired, it would be difficult for him to see it.
The main purpose of today is to gamble on stones. If I really can't buy good jade, I will consider buying this mirror. After repairing it, I can sell it for some money.
There was also the last stone seller in the corner. Because it was the smallest, it was very inconspicuous. Li Muchen almost ignored it.
But as soon as he arrived at this stall, Li Muchen's eyes lit up. There were actually several good stones in this small stall.
As soon as the boss saw them coming, he greeted them warmly.
"You two, what do you like?"
Pointing to a piece of stone with a window open and a very green color, he said, "How about this one? It's a real old trick, absolutely good."
But Li Muchen didn't even look at it. He pointed at a pile of inconspicuous stones next to him and asked, "How do you sell this?"
"Oh, um," the boss rolled his eyes, and his tone suddenly became much calmer, "Five hundred and one, pick whatever you want."
Li Muchen picked one of them, asked Ma Shan to pay five hundred yuan, and asked:
"Cut or not?"
"I can't cut it here, but they can." The boss pointed to the largest stall selling rough stones where Li Muchen first went.
Li Muchen and Ma Shan walked over holding the stone.
The boss over there looked at the materials in their hands and said, "I didn't buy the materials here. If you cut them, you'll be charged by the knife. Your two yuan is fifty-one dollars. But let me make it clear first that you may
I can’t even earn cutting fees.”
Li Muchen said: "It's okay, okay."
The boss didn't waste any time and just took the stone to cut it.
When the first stone was cut off, there was nothing inside, just like a white-faced steamed bun, with no jade light visible at all.
