Happy peasant girl

Chapter 173
"Girl, what's the matter?" Bai Yang and Bai Hua are preparing to fight for incense later, it is not appropriate to appear in Linqingxi this time, only the two of them can be relied on.

Lin Qingxi asked Bai Yang to come over by ear, and then whispered a few words in his ear, Bai Yang nodded while listening, then turned and left.

Jasmine and Qiangwei didn't hear what Lin Qingxi and Bai Yang said, but they could feel that Lin Qingxi was not so relaxed after seeing the three monks downstairs.

The procedure for fighting incense is very simple, as long as whoever thinks he has a strange fragrance in his hand, he can go to Sifangtai and let Prince Ning and the three masters identify it.

In the beginning, those who went to Sifangtai were all small characters, and the quality of the incense was obviously average. This disappointed Prince Ning who held the incense fighting competition, but the three eminent monks were calm and relaxed.

There are only two hours in the Douxiang group arena. After two hours, even if you bring out the strange fragrance, it will be of no use.

An hour and a half had passed, Jasmine and Qiangwei upstairs still did not react when they saw Qingxi, and Bai Hua and Bai Yang were nowhere to be seen downstairs.

At this moment, an old man dressed in black came out from the crowd of onlookers. He was still dressed so tightly in the scorching summer, which made him look a little different and conspicuous.

After the old man stepped onto the stage, he asked directly, "Is the 10 taels of gold you said true?"

Prince Ning said with a smile: "Of course it is true, do you have a strange fragrance?"

"There is no strange fragrance, I have strange wood, and the scent of ebony can be regarded as a strange fragrance!" The old man said softly.

When Prince Ning heard that it was the ebony of the world's supreme spiritual tree, he immediately stood up and asked hastily, "Do you have ebony?"

Master Kongchen, Master Yiqiu and Master Wuhui were also surprised. Ebony is a well-known sacred tree. It is said that ebony is the guardian sacred tree used by the Wu tribe in the west to ward off evil spirits. It is rare to hear ebony appearing in other places.

"Only one piece, 10 taels of gold!" As he spoke, the old man took out a square piece of black wood from his pocket.

As soon as Wumu appeared, there was commotion in the crowd, and the expressions of Lord Guolun and Young Master Hanxiao were inexplicably nervous and expectant.

"Girl, what is ebony?" Qiangwei has long regarded Lin Qingxi as an omniscient person, so she always wants to find answers from her when she has questions in her heart.

"Ebony is used to ward off evil spirits. Some call it a divine tree, while others say it is the spirit of ten thousand trees. Unexpectedly, ebony appears here, and those who hold ebony also want 10 taels of gold." Lin Qingxi Thinking that the Douxiang group arena is not so easy to win, but I just didn't expect to see the appearance of Wumu today.

"How does ebony compare to aloes?" Jasmine was worried about whether her aloes could win.

"Although they are on par, there is a possibility of winning. After all, this is an incense fighting competition, not a wood hunting competition. Although ebony has a fragrance, its fragrance is still slightly inferior to that of agarwood." Lin Qingxi She thinks so, but she doesn't know how the people below will judge. The original [-]% chance of winning is now only [-]%.

Prince Ning is over forty years old, and he has seen countless strange fragrances in the world. He only saw ebony once in the queen mother's palace, but he has studied ebony for a long time, so when he saw the ebony in the old man's hand, he could be sure that it was real. False, it would be great to have another piece of ebony now.

"Three masters, this is the strangely fragrant wood we are looking for today, right?" Lord Ning said excitedly, but he stretched out his hand to look at the ebony, but the old man quickly put the ebony into his arms again.

"My lord, although this ebony is a treasure in the world, its fragrance can only be regarded as the fragrance of a strange wood, not the strange wood that will appear today." Master Yiqiu said with a little disappointment.

Today, Master Kongchen, Master Yiqiu and Master Wuhui came to Sifang Terrace of Wanxiang Pavilion on purpose, not because Prince Ning specially invited them to come, but because the eminent monks in their respective temples said that there will be amazing events at noon today. The incense appeared in the east of the imperial city of Wu Kingdom, and it was a treasure of Buddhism, so they had to invite them back to their respective temples no matter what.

The ebony that the old man took out in front of him, although it is a sacred wood, has a sinister aura. It is not at all the treasure of Buddhism that the eminent monks in the temple said. The real wood with strange fragrance has not yet appeared.

"No?" Prince Ning also didn't understand what the three uninvited Buddhist masters were looking for today, but it had nothing to do with him, and he definitely wanted to get the ebony.

"Has anyone else come up with a wonderful fragrance? If not, this ebony will be the winner!" Prince Ning seemed a little impatient. Ebony is rare, and 10 taels of gold can be earned back, but ebony may not be able to. can be found.

No one came up from the audience, but there were people who wanted to compete with Prince Ning for Wumu.

"I'll give you 15 taels of gold. You can give me the ebony!" Lord Guolun winked at the two guards beside him. They jumped onto the stage and directly sandwiched the old man in black between them. in the middle of the body.

"Master Guo Lun, what are you going to do?" When Lord Ning heard that Lord Guo Lun wanted to grab ebony from him, he was anxious and annoyed. He only had 10 taels of gold in his hand, and he had nothing more. It took a long time to get the gold used to find the strange fragrance.

"Lord Ning, the one with the highest price wins. Others come to participate in your incense fighting competition, but it is for the 10 taels of gold. Now that I give you 15 taels of gold, smart people will do business with me." Lord Guolun said a little He glanced proudly at Lord Ning, and then at the old man holding the ebony.

Obviously, Lord Guolun's 15 taels of gold moved the old man's heart. He took the risk to come to the capital of Wu Kingdom this time for gold.

"Girl, Bai Yang is outside the door. He asked you what to do next?" Jasmine didn't expect that an old man in black would appear to disturb their affairs. It happened suddenly, and she had to ask Lin Qingxi what to do next.

"You let Bai Yang come over, some things seem to be overwhelmed by surprise." Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills. Today, she might as well be a director and play a play for these people.

While Linqingxi upstairs was arranging his affairs, the ebony dispute downstairs also came to a conclusion. In the end, the old man reached a deal with Lord Guolun, and Lord Ning was so angry that he couldn't do anything because he didn't have enough gold.

"Girl, Lord Guolun got the ebony, and Lord Ning was about to faint from anger." Qiangwei has been paying attention to the following things, and the end of the game is coming soon.

"This Lord Ning is really interesting! However, Lord Guolun is just a prince of Youta Kingdom. How could he have so much gold in his hand? Could it be that Youta Kingdom discovered the gold mountain?" Lin Qingxi asked the most strange It's not that the ebony is in the hands of Lord Guolun, but how this little prince of barbarian origin has so much gold and why he spends money like water.
