Chapter 5 Looking for the Temple of the Jade City God

"Xiaohai?"

The familiar sound from outside the door of the small attic room opened Jiang Hailiu, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

He stood up and said, "I'm here."

Lin Meihui pushed open the door and walked in, looked around and sat straight on the edge of the bed.

Jiang Hailiu felt his throat itchy, and coughed and asked, "Mom, is there anything wrong?"

Lin Meihui smiled, reached out and brushed his scattered hair, and said, "You don't have to care too much about your aunt and your second sister. You need to work harder in your studies, but there is no need to set your goal so high."

"Well…"

Jiang Hailiu was speechless and didn't know how to explain.

He is both excellent students in elementary and junior high school. After entering high school, he became addicted to computers and games, which led to his academic performance being downgraded. I feel really sorry for my mother's earnest teachings when I think about it.

But Lin Meihui never put too much pressure on him because of this, but was more tolerant and understanding.

Now Jiang Hailiu has awakened. Even if his strength is not as strong as one hundred thousand of the peak of his previous life, it is really no problem to spend some time studying in Jingfu University!

Of course, Lin Meihui didn't know the secret. She thought that the conversation at the dinner table just now hurt Jiang Hailiu's self-esteem, so she came to comfort her.

Only mothers in the world are good!

"You don't have to worry, don't you like playing computer games?"

Lin Meihui continued: "My mom has a classmate who works as a tutor at a private university in the Imperial Capital. If you can't get into other universities, you will arrange for you to study computer science there. What do you think?"

Jiang Hailiu nodded blankly.

Private University?

The expenses for that year are definitely not small. The better the private university, the more expensive the tuition is.

Jiang Hailiu knew very well how much pressure my mother would put on the family’s financial burden!

Lin Meihui smiled and said, "Okay, you can rest early in the evening."

Jiang Hailiu nodded again.

Lin Meihui reached out to touch his face, then left the room and closed the door.

Huh~

Jiang Hailiu let out a long sigh and poured backwards back to the bed.

He used to be dispensable about taking the college entrance exam, but now he has really made up his mind.

Anyway, restoring strength and cultivation cannot be completed in one or two days. It may take decades to prepare for the battle against the great catastrophe. His life is still long in this life. Since he has decided to enter the world to practice, he should not miss it.

What's more, he can learn a lot in college. After all, this era is much more advanced than thousands of years ago, and the situation of the great disaster he foresawed before is strange and unpredictable, and the complexity is far beyond that of his previous life.

Maybe the new knowledge learned can be applied to deal with this life's disaster.

Didi!

Just as Jiang Hailiu was thinking seriously, the cell phone placed at the head of the bed suddenly tweeted twice.

He picked up the broken cell phone with severely painted paint and took a look.

I'll take it!

Jiang Hailiu jumped up directly from the bed.

The message prompt sound comes from his electronic payment account, and the screen shows that he just recorded 40,000.00 yuan!

Jiang Hailiu thought with his toes, and everyone knew that the repair stone that must have been hung in the auction house was sold for a single price. Since he set the buyer to pay the handling fee, after deducting 20% ​​personal income tax, it was exactly 40,000 yuan!

What a rich man!

Jiang Hailiu found that he had seriously underestimated the consumption strength of the rich players in "Demon Immortal". This Sky-Supplementing Stone was instantly lost in just one hour, which means that its price could be higher.

If I had known it would have been priced at 100,000 yuan. What if it was too short of someone else?

Jiang Hailiu felt that he had lost 100 million!

Hey hey, don’t be so greedy as a person. If you are too greedy, you will be struck by lightning and will consume your character greatly.

He could only comfort himself in this way. Now that he has the first pot of gold, he will wait until his cultivation level recovers, not to mention 100,000 or 80, earning one billion or ten billion is a small goal.

Then why bother to be petty?

At night, Jiang Hailiu happily held his cell phone and slept so sweetly.

...

The next morning, after having the loving breakfast cooked by my mother, he left home and took the bus to Chenghuang Temple.

Kangcheng is a historical city and a thousand-year-old ancient city. The old city has two walls that last several kilometers long. The Chenghuang Temple is located in the north wall, and a bustling pedestrian street extends to both sides with this as the center.

When Jiang Hailiu was a child, he often went to Chenghuang Temple with his friends to play. At that time, the pedestrian street was still an old street, with many grocery shops and shops, especially when it was a festival day, it was very lively and there were many delicious and fun.

Now the old street has been transformed into a pedestrian commercial street, and its popularity has become even more intense, and it can be regarded as a scenic spot in Kangcheng City.

This time, Jiang Hailiu came to Chenghuang Temple not for food, drink and fun, but his destination was the back street of Chenghuang Temple.

The back street of Chenghuang Temple was originally a frivolous goods market, but now it is an antique cultural and entertainment street. It mainly divides two major blocks: street stall area and ancient building house area. Most of the ancient building house area are antique shops, selling various antique cultural relics, jade, porcelain, gold, silver, bronze, calligraphy, painting, and other objects.

The street stalls also sell antiques, and there are all kinds of things, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. There are many ways to mix things up, and the business depends entirely on your own eyes.

Jiang Hailiu came here mainly to buy a few pieces of jade to set up a Taoist formation. Since the funds were really limited, the first choice was the street stall area. If you go to the antique shop, you can't even hear a sound if you throw it in tens of thousands of yuan.

Today is Saturday, and the back streets are crowded with people, and the street stalls are the most crowded.

As the saying goes, antiques in golden and prosperous times. In the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the country has been prosperous and the country has been strong, and people have strong consumption capacity, so the antique market has been very popular over the years.

However, those antiques that cost millions or tens of millions are not something that ordinary people can play with, so many people who like antiques but don’t have much money come to Taobao, dreaming of getting a big shot with a small profit.

In fact, the people who are most likely to be cheated are these people. The owners who set up street stalls here are all humans. Their "leaks" are not so easy to pick up, but the result is that those who pick up the bargains are often cheated.

But some people are addicted to this. The stall owner cheats him thousands of times. He is like a first love, and he is also drunk.

As for the story of someone who found a big hole in a certain year and a month that was circulating in the back street, just listen to it.

You can just find an internet writer for this kind of third-rate story. You can make up as much as you want with a thousand words and twenty.

Jiang Hailiu was not here to buy antiques, and he didn't think about picking up any bargains, so he didn't look at the porcelain coins on the street stalls, but just stared at the jade objects.

"Little brother..."

A thin, black and thin middle-aged man greeted Jiang Hailiu with a smile, and opened his mouth and showed two golden teeth: "What do you want to buy? Just say whatever you like."

The street stalls have been set up for a long time and have a pair of golden eyes. The customers who come here really want to buy things, but they can tell the things that are fresh and lively at a glance.

Jiang Hailiu obviously really wants to buy things. Although he doesn’t look like a rich man, it’s best to coax a half-year-old child. No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are considered flesh, right?

Jiang Hailiu quickly glanced at the other party’s street stall, and there were a wide variety of items, and various objects were antique and had a very historical and valuable appearance.

The golden-toothed man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you like it? The things here are all treasures left by our ancestors, and every item is real and innocent!"

He said it as if he believed it without any doubt.

Jiang Hailiu withdrew his gaze and sneered: "Old ancestor? Which elementary school does your ancestor study in? I said, do you have more than ten years of things here?"

He looks so ugly and has the nerve to come out to fool people. Do you really think that a ignorant child?

He was using his magical powers when he was shopping. With all his divine thoughts, all things in the world can understand their essence, let alone a few gadgets.

If you want to fool the rivers and seas, the Daozu level is not qualified!

The ruthless mockery made the golden-toothed man's face instantly swell into a pig's liver: "You..."

This street stall that had been on the back street for more than ten years has never been so tragic. It would be fine if Jiang Hailiu had a silence, but he was right.

All the goods he sells are fake and imitated products, and they have been wholesale back in recent years, but it has not been more than ten years.

Who would have thought that a teenager could easily see through all the details?

There was someone next to him looking at the goods. Seeing this, he quickly put down the porcelain bottle in his hand - how many years of antiques?

The fooling around was not done, and other businesses were ruined again. In awe, the golden-toothed man immediately cursed: "Boy, are you here to make trouble for me sincerely..."
