The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 520 An Unexpected Encounter

  Du Yu brought back many old books and sundries from the black market.

  There are not many valuable things in it, and most of the books are just idle books. After all, Daqian is a world of extreme Taoism and a world where martial arts is respected.

  Anything related to martial arts is very expensive. On the contrary, it cannot be said that those antiques and the like are worthless, but the price is moderate and cannot go up. They are the things that literati like.

  After Du Yu did some research, he simply handed over the items that he had 'appraised' to his own Gufeng Pavilion for sale.

  After all, it is better to sell the antiques than to throw them away, and you can get some health back.

  When he ordered his servants to deliver the sundries to Gufeng Pavilion, he also came to the store. He wanted to see if there were any surprises in his store.

  It's a pity that a novel is a novel after all, and he is not the protagonist of Li Bu. After tasting it with the 'Skill of Monitoring', I found a lot of ancient things, but they have nothing to do with martial arts.

  Du Yu returned home with a long sigh, and went to the auction house in the next few days. However, the secret books owned by the other party were either extremely expensive or too low-level.

  After struggling for a full month, he got nothing, which made him feel quite frustrated.

  "Do we really want to go to the Zhang family in the imperial capital?" Thinking of all the experiences he had in Tianwu Continent, he felt troubled.

  After thinking for a moment, Du Yu saw that the next black market opening was just around the corner, so he decided to try his luck again before seeing it.

  In order to go to the black market, he also made preparations and exchanged some of the gold and silver at home for silver notes.

  On the fifth day of the lunar month, he took Zhang Hu and Li Bu to the waterway to wait.

  As soon as Haishi arrived, the awning boat appeared quietly in the river. They paid 60 taels of silver to get on the boat according to the old rules.

  Through the crow controlled by the Sharingan, he was surprised to find that the road to the black market this time was actually different from the last time, but the final destination was still the island in the middle of the lake.

  He deliberately collected information about Baidao Lake after his last visit, and found that Baidao Lake was actually the border between Qingshui County and Luoshan County, a place that neither of them care about.

  What shocked him was that Baidao Lake was occupied by a group of water thieves, and a huge water village was built on the island.

  Judging from the size of the warriors and water villages it gathered, it was obvious that it was not just for amassing wealth, but there might be a bigger secret.

  Du Yu is not very interested in this secret. Even if they want to revolt and overthrow Dagan, it is none of his business. Of course, the prerequisite is that they cannot touch the Zhang family.

  There was nothing to say on the way. They went around and around and finally came to the island in the middle of the lake.

  Just like last time, Du Yu allowed Li Bu and Zhang Hu to move around freely, and finally met at the street corner of the outer city, and once again started the 'Scrutiny Technique' to check some vintage items on the stalls.

  What disappoints him is that these big swindlers don't even have any tricks and sell the same secret books as last time. Occasionally, there are two new ones that are just made-up books with the names changed.

  However, he calmed down and browsed the street stalls with the feeling that I was lucky.

  "Hey, distinguished guest, are you?" the stall owner asked.

  Du Yu raised his eyes and saw that it was the stall owner who bought "Eighteen Styles in the Room" last time. He didn't change his mask or clothes and was really remembered by the other party. I think he made a lot of money.

  "Well, it's easy to remember," he said.

  The man smiled softly and said, "Dear guest, the secret book worked well last time."

  "It's just so-so." Du Yu actually took the time to study the secret book and responded casually.

  "I know you like ancient secret books. I was lucky enough to get one from some local master. I wonder if your distinguished guest is still interested?" the stall owner asked.

  Du Yu's eyes lit up and he said: "If it is really an ancient secret book, I would be interested, but the goods on your stall are probably not more than ten days old."

  The stall owner chuckled and said, "It's different for you as to which ones are sold to others. What you want is hidden behind."

  After that, he pulled out a brown cloth bag from behind, then fumbled inside and pulled out a dark yellow book.

  Du Yu has been turning on the 'Skill of Monitoring'. Judging from the luster of the book, it is indeed an antique, and it is the kind that is relatively old.

  "Hey, this is really an ancient book. Let me have a look." He said. A smile suddenly broke out on the stall owner's face and he said: "Invite you!"

  Du Yu carefully took the book and looked at it carefully, but when he saw the name, he felt a little disappointed. The peerless magic book was called "Jing Ming Shen".

  After browsing through the book, I found that it was a body-refining exercise, but it did have some ancient meanings.

  "It is indeed an ancient secret book, but it is a pity that it only contains some body-refining techniques and is incomplete." Du Yu said.

  The stall owner smiled and said: "The distinguished guest is right, but it is precisely because of this that it ended up in the outer city. If it had been intact, the gentlemen in the inner city would have taken it away."

  "That's right. Although the secret book is incomplete and has no value for cultivation, it is an ancient book after all. You can set a price." Du Yu said.

  "The price is three hundred taels. Dear customer, it's not that I have a bad heart. It actually cost me two hundred and sixty taels to deliver the goods. Plus stall fees and so on, I really can't make much money." The stall owner opened the price. He explained immediately.

  "It's too expensive." Du Yu gestured to leave.

  The stall owner immediately became anxious and said quickly: "Please stay away as a distinguished customer. Can the price be negotiated?"

  Du Yu was about to bargain when he found something dark in color in the brown bag behind him, which seemed to be something older.

  "Three hundred taels can pack up all the things you put on the stall. You can't catch me butchering the fat sheep alone," he said.

  The stall owner smiled helplessly and said: "Dear guest, although my stall is small, the things I sell are very good. Three hundred taels is indeed a bit expensive, but I am telling the truth. The little man really spent two hundred and sixty taels. I just bought that secret book and an antique."

  After that, he pulled the brown bag in front of him and took out a statue about one foot long.

  In fact, the stall owner was telling the truth. He did collect the items from a group of local masters. There were three items, a fragmented secret book, a statue and a blood-colored jade pendant.

  After he came to the black market, he immediately went to the inner market for appraisal. The store in the inner market accepted the bloody jade pendant, but threw out the secret book and the statue.

  In fact, he had already paid back his money, and once he caught a glimpse of the big fat sheep from last time, he planned to kill him again.

  Du Yu reached out and took the statue and looked at it carefully. He was shocked when he saw the statue's face, but it still looked calm on the surface.

  After a moment, a smile appeared on his lips and he said: "I thought it was a good thing that had been opened, but I was so happy in vain. It is indeed an antique as you said, but it is not worth much."

  The smile on the stall owner's face froze. This was what people in the city he knew well said, and he threw it out like trash.

  "Three hundred taels is indeed expensive. I'll take it at one hundred taels," Du Yu said.

  The stall owner was afraid that the duck in his mouth would fly away, so he slapped his thigh as if he had made a decision that went against his ancestors, and said: "Young man admits your loss, since your distinguished guest wants it, just take it."

  Du Yu looked at his poor performance and smiled softly, and said, "You won't sell me if I really lose money."

  Having said that, he still took out a hundred taels of silver note from his arms and handed it over.

  After receiving the banknote and appraising it, the stall owner immediately wrapped the two items and handed them over.

  After putting it away, Du Yu continued to wander leisurely in front of the stalls in the foreign market, while not forgetting to explore the items on other stalls.

  But his mind was already focused on that statue, because he saw a very unexpected face, Xiyue War God.

  He actually met Xiyue God of War in the Jidao world, the unknown god who left a legacy statue in Tianwu Continent.

  Thinking that the stall owner said that he bought it from Dofuzi, he planned to pursue more information, so he secretly summoned a ninja crow and controlled it with Sharingan to keep an eye on the stall owner.

  After all, he was in the black market, so he restrained himself from immediately researching his ideas and went to the street corner of the outer city to wait for Zhang Hu and Li Bu.

  After seeing the two of them and glancing at the things in their hands, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Zhang Hu was still the little fat sheep who gave away money for free, but Li Bu had found another book on pretty good palm skills.

  Du Yu couldn't help complaining in his heart that God was really unfair, and Zhang Hu had no talent, let alone luck. But Li Bu, a man who didn't lack anything, chased after him to feed him, which was a double standard.
