Li Chen took Zhao Laowai to a small restaurant outside the school and sat down, ordering two dishes and a bottle of wine for Zhao Laowai.
"Uncle Zhao, where have you been these days? Why can't I catch you? Sometimes I wait for you at your house for a day and never see you come back." Li Chen asked.
"Do you still remember the yang fish on the human king's hexagram plate?" Zhao Laowai asked after taking a sip of wine.
"Of course I know, isn't it at your place?" Li Chen replied.
Zhao Laowai took a sip of wine and said, "Just two days ago, I used the yang fish to finally find the whereabouts of the yin fish."
"Uncle Zhao, please drink less and eat more food." The little fox poked his head out of Li Chen's arms and said.
"Lingling, you have become like this, do you still care about uncle's drinking?" Zhao Laowei said with a smile.
Li Chen touched the little fox's head and said, "Uncle Zhao, actually I think it doesn't matter whether I look for the Yin Fish or not. Even if I don't look for it, wouldn't it be good now?"
"Some things will not happen unless you ask about them. They will come sooner or later." Zhao Laowai said slowly and seriously.
The little fox said: "I also feel that I still have to look for that Yin Fish, because I feel that it may be a major turning point for me."
Hearing what the little fox said, Li Chen said: "Since it is useful to you Lingling, I will definitely look for it."
Zhao Laowai said: "Lingling, although you have been knocked back to your original shape, I feel that your level seems to have improved."
The little fox said: "Now that I have changed back to my original self, I can't think about anything else, so I just focus on cultivation. Otherwise, what can I do?"
Zhao Laowai said: "I also feel that the appearance of the Yin Fish is a turning point for you, but whether it is a good turning point or a bad turning point, I still can't tell."
Bai Lingling said: "No matter whether it is good or bad, I will give it a try. During the time when I was a human being, I didn't learn anything else, but I did understand one truth, that is, no matter whether it is successful or not, I have to give it a try." If you want to win, you will have hope; if you don¡¯t win and just stick to the rules, there will be no hope at all.¡±
Zhao Laowai nodded and said, "That's how it should be. You can't accomplish great things if you are timid."
Li Chen asked: "Uncle Zhao, where is the Yin Fish you mentioned?"
Zhao Laowai pretended to be profound and said: "It's far away in the horizon, but it's close in front of you."
Li Chen said: "Uncle Zhao, please stop dragging me and tell me quickly."
Zhao Laowai said: "After my calculations and inquiries, the Yin Fish was collected by a businessman, and it is in this city."
Li Chen asked: "Does it mean he wants me to buy it from him?"
Zhao Laowai said: "Don't bother me. I heard that the businessman seemed to be in a hurry to make money, so he took the Yin Fish to the auction three days later."
"No? Are you going to buy it at the auction? How much will it cost?" Li Chen knew that as long as the quality of ordinary antiques is not too bad, they will sell for a good price at the auction, several million It's all very normal. If you meet a very rich owner, it's not impossible to make tens of millions of dollars. It seems unreliable to think of buying antiques at auctions with just the little money you have.
Actually, Li Chen still has some money in his hand. As we mentioned earlier, he got 60,000 yuan to exorcise evil spirits from the villa of the rich girl Na Di. He also got a lot before. In addition, Bai Lingling brought two gold bars back from Beimang Mountain. More than 300,000 yuan, but it is still not enough if I want to buy antiques.
Zhao Laowai said while drinking: "Anyway, I found the whereabouts of this Yin Fish for you. As for whether you can get it or not, that's your problem. I can't help with the money."
" If Li Chen doesn't worry about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, it is within his ability. But if it were millions or tens of millions, he would be frightened. This number is not something that normal people can afford, and even ordinary small businesses dare not say that they can definitely come up with it.
"What should I do? Where can I get so much money?" Li Chen was extremely worried.
"Li Chen, you have forgotten someone." The little fox said at this time.
"Lingling, who are you referring to?" Li Chen asked.
"Cao Jingjing!" the little fox reminded.
"She?" After that goodbye, Li Chen hadn't seen her for at least a year and a half. In the meantime, there was only one phone call. Cao Jingjing really wanted to get in touch with Li Chen, mainlyIt was because of Li Chen's down-to-earth personality that she fell in love with him. But Li Chen didn't want to get too entangled with her. After all, she was a married woman, and having too much contact with her would definitely not be good for him. If he couldn't continue studying, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Lingling, actually I don't want to ask her for help."
The little fox said: "Cao Jingjing is a nice person, why don't you want her to help you?"
Li Chen said: "She is a good person, but I just don't want to ask her for help. I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, and I only think of her when something happens. Isn't this a bit bad?"
The little fox actually knew what Li Chen was thinking a long time ago, and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter. You are just too thin-skinned. You can't accomplish anything like this."
Li Chen thought about it and felt that now he could only ask Cao Jingjing for help. Among the people he knew, she was the only one who could spend so much money. Yes, Cao Jingjing originally had the habit of collecting antiques. The trouble she got into before was precisely because she bought a piece of jade that was sealed with ninety-nine evil spirits. Li Chen thought for a while and came up with his words, then dialed Cao Jingjing's phone number.
The phone rang for a while, and then Cao Jingjing picked it up: "Hey, who is it?"
"Sister Cao, don't you remember me?"
"You are Li Chen! I heard it, you are Li Chen." Cao Jingjing exclaimed.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to remember me, Sister Cao."
"You damn boy, you haven't called me for so long. I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago." Cao Jingjing said with some resentment.
Cao Jingjing is a smart person, and then she guessed something: "You must have something to do with me, tell me what it is."
Li Chen smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to cooperate with you to make a big deal."
Cao Jingjing asked with a smile: "Big business? What kind of big business?"
Li Chen said: "I have an ancient magic weapon in my hand, but it is incomplete. One of the accessories is missing. Now, this accessory was sent to the auction by a businessman and is to be officially auctioned in three days. I want Sister Cao, help me buy that accessory."
"You are really good at talking. You even said that you would cooperate with me to make a big deal. It turned out that you wanted me to help you buy antiques." Cao Jingjing said softly.
Li Chen quickly explained: "I haven't finished yet. This set of magical instruments is called the Renwang Guapan. It was something used by Queen Hou Yi in ancient times. After I collected it all, I used it to do one thing. When things are done, I can give you the entire set of magical instruments."
"Is it true? You won't lie to me, right?" Cao Jingjing asked half-jokingly.
"Sister Cao, I have been through so many things with you. When did I lie to you?"
"Well, I believe in your character. That's good. Find a time and let's meet at a place. You can bring all the magical artifacts and antiques in your hands and let me take a look. If they are really from ancient times, I'm sure. I¡¯ll help you buy that accessory.¡±
¡°Okay, then it¡¯s settled, I¡¯ll call you then.¡±
After Li Chen hung up the phone, he said to Zhao Laowai: "Uncle Zhao, Cao Jingjing has agreed to help me take pictures of the Yin Fish. It seems that this matter should be OK."
"That's good, that's good." Zhao Laowai was a little drunk at this time, his face was red, but he didn't seem to have enough fun, and he drank the wine from time to time.
The man¡¯s Wang Gua Pan and the Yang Fish on it were both with Zhao Laowai, because Zhao Lao Wai wanted to borrow these two things to figure out the whereabouts of the Yin Fish. Li Chen took the Gua Pan back after sending him back.
The next day, Li Chen made an appointment with Cao Jingjing. After not seeing each other for two years, Cao Jingjing has changed a lot. She is more mature, beautiful and charming than before.
"Sister Cao" After seeing Cao Jingjing, Li Chen couldn't help but think of the scene by the river two years ago. He felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Li Chen, you are much more mature than before, and you look a lot more handsome." Cao Jingjing didn't care and joked casually.
"I'm still the same, but you're a lot prettier than before." Li Chen responded casually.
"Haha" Cao Jingjing couldn't help but smile when Li Chen said this.
"Sister Cao, let's find a place first. I'll take out the Wang Guapan and show it to you. You are also a collector of antiques, so you can definitely see the value in it."
"Okay, I know there is a seafood restaurant not far ahead. It has a good environment and private rooms. Let's go there."
The two came thereAfter finding a single room in the Xian Building, Li Chen took out the Wang Guapan. Cao Jingjing took out a magnifying glass and looked back and forth in a decent manner. While looking at her, she nodded and said: "This is indeed an item from ancient times. There are many ancient characters and inscriptions engraved on it. It is of great scientific research value. This is yours." The thing can be sold for at least tens of millions."
Li Chen pointed to the middle position and said to Cao Jingjing: "Sister Cao, have you seen it? There is one Yin Fish missing here. As long as it is paired with the Yin Fish, this person's Wang Gua Pan will be complete."
Cao Jingjing nodded and said: "Don't worry, Li Chen, I've decided to help with this, but I'm afraid I don't have enough funds. Things like this are very valuable, so I have to find some of my friends to help." .¡±~
