Alien King

Chapter 250 Wood Carvings and Ancient Books

Yan Zhengnan is a high-level god fighter, and he has a peerless magic weapon in his hand, the Absolute Heaven Bow.

It is said that on the battlefield of the Inca Empire, dozens of mid-level magisters were once shot with a single sword. Since then, the army of the Inca Empire has not dared to cross the thunder pool half a step on the border.

But Lin Chengzhou's meaning was obvious, Yan Zhengnan's return to Beijing was precisely to conceive of Ye Tian.

At this time, Ye Tian scanned the antiques in the grid cabinet again, and was about to turn around and leave when his eyes suddenly caught an ancient book mixed with mud in the lowermost grid.

He is not interested in antiques, but Ye Tian is still a little curious about ancient books.

Walking to the corner, bending down, Ye Tian picked up the ancient book, put it in his hand, and read it carefully.

The cover of the ancient book has obviously been completely lost. The top page is already a piece of yellowed paper, and the text on it has been molded so badly that it is impossible to read clearly.Due to the wetness, the many pages below are completely glued together, and it is impossible to open them one by one without some special techniques.

Ye Tian stretched out his fingers, gently pinched a corner of the page, and slowly uncovered a part.

A few lines of small characters in seal script caught Ye Tian's eyes.

Originally, Ye Tian didn't plan to read it carefully, but as soon as these lines of text came into Ye Tian's mind, in an instant, the soul master's skills in Ye Tian's body activated immediately.

The content of these few lines of text is almost exactly the same as the last formula Hua Tianrou passed on to him.

I was shocked, I didn't expect to find the skill book of a high-level soul master here.

After being stunned for a while, Ye Tian turned his head, looked at the shopkeeper, and said, "How do you sell this ancient book?"

The shopkeeper chuckled, and said, "My lord, you look well dressed and elegant. You must be rich if you are rich. I dare not deceive you. To be honest, this ancient book is not worth much."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper paused for a while, and continued: "When this ancient book was unearthed, I thought it was a high-level martial arts scroll or a magic book, but after I asked someone to appraise it, the text full of it was I don't know what to say. It is definitely not martial arts and magic, nor is it summoning."

"Later, I went to find a talisman maker to take a look. What was recorded in this book was not talisman making. Later, I copied some texts from the book and asked the pharmacists of the Eli Empire and the physicians of the Inca Empire to separate After reading it again, this book is not about pharmacy and medical skills."

The shopkeeper sighed, and continued: "Almost all the different occupations in the whole continent have been identified. Although this ancient book seems precious, it is full of nonsense and useless."

Ye Tian tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and secretly said: This is a book exclusively for soul masters. Even if you have found all the professions in the whole continent, as long as you are not a soul master, you will definitely not understand it.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian also pretended to be incomprehensible, and said: "Although this book has no practical value, judging from its texture and color, it has been buried underground for at least hundreds of years. That being said, it’s quite collectable.”

Speaking of this, Ye Tian raised his head, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said, "Let's make a price, how much does this book sell for?"

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart beating a little.

There is a basis for valuation, either based on the value of the item itself, or based on how strong the desire to buy the item is.

Seeing that this ancient book is worthless in itself, it has been in the hands of the shopkeeper several times, and it has been put away for a long time.

At this moment, the shopkeeper observed Ye Tian carefully. Although Ye Tian expressed a certain desire to buy, the shopkeeper didn't feel that this book was very important to Ye Tian.

After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young Master, it is not easy to dig out this book and see it again. How about it, you give three taels of silver, and it will be considered as a little labor fee."

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Ye Tian was overjoyed.

He can still get three taels of silver without mercy.What Ye Tian was afraid of was that the shopkeeper would see his willingness to buy this ancient book, so the lion opened his mouth and asked for the price.

But Ye Tian still frowned, and repeated: "Three taels of silver?"

Seeing that Ye Tian wanted to give up, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Young master, it took a lot of effort and tools to dig out this ancient book. Besides, look at the texture of this ancient book. The time is really short. How about it, young master, you are a scholar, I will treat you as half-selling and half-giving, and you will pay two taels of silver, and we will not talk anymore."

Ye Tian went downhill, weighed the ancient book in his hand again, and said: "Okay, just two taels."

Reaching into his bosom, he took out a bank note with a denomination of twelve taels, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face, took the bank notes, and then took out some small denomination bank notes from his pocket, counted eight taels of silver notes, and handed them back to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian took back the eight taels of silver, weighed the ancient book in his hand again, then raised his foot, ready to turn around and go out.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Ye Tian suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the square table in the middle of the room.

The thing looks like a wood carving, but also like a miniature model, about a foot high, in the shape of a classical Chinese tower.

In Ye Tian's experience, this wooden pagoda is like a miniature model of the Boya Pagoda by the Weiming Lake in BJ University in his previous life.

Being attracted, Ye Tian's eyes immediately turned away, staring straight at the wooden tower.

As soon as Ye Tian's gaze came into contact with this wooden tower, the surrounding scenery changed immediately.

The houses in Shangyunge disappeared immediately, and there was a vast expanse of wilderness in front of my eyes, with low shallow grass spreading from under my feet, extending to the horizon.

Ye Tian stared, not knowing why such a hallucination suddenly appeared.

Turning his head, Ye Tian looked to the left, just on the horizon, there was a slightly wriggling thing.

Ye Tian frowned tightly, carefully distinguished and left, and was immediately taken aback.The large area of ​​slightly wriggling things in the sky is actually densely packed with monsters, mythical beasts, skeletons, ghosts and unknown monsters.

As soon as the awareness comes out, Ye Tian can feel that these monsters, mythical beasts and monsters are at least level [-]. In terms of strength, they are actually on the same level as Ye Tian's junior magister.

But that densely packed area, if surrounded, would definitely swallow Ye Tian alive.

At this time, at least these divine beasts and magical beasts hundreds of miles away seemed to have discovered Ye Tian's existence, and began to squirm and gallop towards Ye Tian's position quickly.

Ye Tian opened his eyes wide and turned his head to the other side.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, on the horizon stands a tall tower. If there is no Weiming Lake, if there is no Yan Garden, Ye Tian even suspects that it is the Peking University in his previous life.

Looking at the familiar Boya Tower, Ye Tian once again felt a sense of illusion.

Mo Ran, a voice rang in his ears: "My lord? Why are you so stunned?"

The scene in front of him was distorted again, and Ye Tian returned to the main room in the backyard of Shangyun Pavilion.

Turning his head, staring at the incomprehensible shopkeeper, Ye Tian recalled the overwhelming monsters and mythical beasts just now, his heart was palpitating, and his chest was pounding.

The feeling of having no way out or vitality in the face of complete death and extinction made Ye Tian feel a trace of unspeakable fear and fear in his heart.

Slanting his eyes at the carved wooden Boya Pagoda, Ye Tian looked at the shopkeeper, stretched out his finger, pointed to the center of the square table, and said, "What the hell is that pagoda?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then followed Ye Tian's fingers to look over, and when he saw the wooden carved tower on the square table, he said with a dumbfounded smile: "My lord, that's not a treasure, it's just a wooden carving. "

Ye Tian smacked his mouth, took a look at the shopkeeper, and continued: "Then how much is this wood carving?"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, the shopkeeper walked to the square table, picked up the wooden tower, returned to Ye Tian, ​​and said, "This wood carving was accidentally made when I passed by the Valley of Gods and Demons five years ago. I got it. At that time, I also thought it was an unborn treasure, but after that, it was placed in the store for several years. There were no one hundred or eighty mages, warriors, summoners and talisman makers who had seen this wooden carving, but all of them I don’t see any value in it. So, I simply took this wood carving into the backyard and used it as an ornament, otherwise it would be placed on the shelf of the shop, it would not be sold, and it would just take up space.”

Ye Tian pondered for a while, and recalled that when he saw the wooden Boya Pagoda just now, he clearly mobilized a trace of soul power in his body.

It seems that this wooden Boya Tower also has a great relationship with the skills of the soul master.

Thinking of this, Ye Tian pointed to the wooden tower in the shopkeeper's hand, and said, "I really like this wood carving, let's make a price."

The shopkeeper looked at Ye Tian, ​​then smiled, and said: "To me, this wood carving can only be regarded as an ornament, but the workmanship of this thing is still very meticulous. How about it, son, what do you want?" One tael of silver, just take it away."

Without saying a word, Ye Tian took out one of the eight banknotes in his hand, handed it to the shopkeeper, and took the wooden tower, held it in his hand for a look, then turned around, and walked out of the main hall. go.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Ye Tian holding an ancient book in one hand and a wood carving in the other, which was quite inconvenient. The shopkeeper took out a cloth bag from the drawer of the shop's main desk and handed it to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian smiled, secretly thinking that the shopkeeper is quite considerate.

Putting the ancient books and wood carvings into the cloth bag, carrying the cloth bag, Ye Tian smiled at the shopkeeper again, and walked out of the gate of Shangyun Pavilion.

Looking at Ye Tian's back, the shopkeeper was a little dazed, the deal was really strange.All of a sudden, the shopkeeper felt a sense of loss, as if he had lost a big deal.

Ye Tian's appearance definitely doesn't look like an experienced businessman who knows all over the world. Because of this, the shopkeeper has no doubt that the ancient books and wood carvings make Ye Tian see that they are some kind of treasure that ordinary people don't know.And Ye Tian happily bought two items, which made the shopkeeper a little suspicious. Could it be that he really lost his sight?These two unremarkable things are really treasures.

After thinking for a long time, the shopkeeper shook his head again and smiled self-deprecatingly.No matter how you say it, these two things have been in the store for not a year or two. If you can't sell them for such a long time, no matter how good the treasure is, it is useless if you can't get money.Now not only has two pieces of space been vacated, but also four liang of silver has been exchanged. This deal is still very cost-effective.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper glanced at the back of Ye Tian who was gradually disappearing in the distance, hummed a little song, and returned to the shop.
