90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 326



Chapter 326: Implication

In fact, besides the old man, many tourists had already gathered here without knowing it.


These tourists also heard the story that Ye Bei told just now very clearly.


"He's still alive? Are you kidding me, kid, are you sure you're not telling a fairy tale? According to what you said, doesn't it mean that that master is still alive even after hundreds of years?"


After hearing the voice of the old man, some tourists recovered and shouted.


"Damn! Just now, it was really suspenseful, but it turns out that there's nothing special about this story. But while listening, for a few moments, I felt as if I actually went to a small town, as if I saw the residents of that town with my own eyes. I also saw a carving master. I also saw people asking for wooden sculptures from him and then reselling them too."


"Me too, I also saw the scene of trees falling crazily."


"This kid is not only handsome but also good at telling stories. If he were to be in ancient times instead, he can be an unparalleled storyteller."


The voices of those tourists kept coming out one after another.


As for the old man standing at the forefront, after finishing that string of words, he looked at Ye Bei firmly.


Seeing that Ye Bei did not continue to speak, the old man spoke again and his expression gradually became serious, "Young man, if that master is really alive, I think there is only one person in this world!"


"Who?"


"Are you for real?"


"Hey... it's just an ordinary wood carving."


At this time, the old man was calmer than ever. When he looked at Ye Bei, he continued, "Since you can know so many secrets and can tell them casually, if I'm not wrong, I am afraid that that master can only be you, right? "


"More or less!" Ye Bei nodded.


When the old man heard this, his heart was upset in an instant.


He didn't know whether he should believe Ye Bei's words, but the things he had encountered in the northwest desert were absolutely true.


The boy in front of him clearly knew something.


"You…"


The old man opened his mouth, ready to continue inquiring.


But in the lobby, there was a person who felt dissatisfied after listening to the story that Ye Bei said and jumped out directly.


"Bullshit! Although you have long hair and a white shirt and look like you came from ancient times, no matter how you look at it, you are very young. If you are that master, you should at least be an old man now, right?"


"Everyone, let's disperse. I think this guy and that old man must be acting as scammers and tricking everyone into buying that wooden sculpture."


"Yes, yes, it must be so!"


"Hehe... what age is it now? There are such low-level deceptions too? Leave if you want, but I want to stay here and see what tricks they can play next."


With the cynicism of these tourists, the Wensheng Antique Shop, which was not very popular, was surrounded by many people even outside the door.


Their voices did not affect Ye Bei in the slightest.


But it made the old man quite unhappy.


"This shop doesn't sell antiques! If you don't like it, or don't want to believe it, just leave!" The old man said without care, and after leaving his words, he looked at Ye Bei again, "Since you said those, what is your implication?"


"It's just a simple story without any moral." Ye Bei replied softly.josei


The old man took a deep breath.


Although Ye Bei said so, in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the tomb in the northwest desert was terrifying and very unusual.


"Forget it, I don't want to know what happened back then. Coming here today, I just want to sell this wood carving. Let's make a price... as long as it is suitable, I will sell it to you."


After a while, the old man shook his head.


"This thing itself belongs to me. How can you ask for money from its owner?" Ye Bei said directly and flatly.


Along with this, his body also released an unpredictable breath.


The chattering voices of the tourists and citizens nearby were still there, even many people were still pointing here and there.


However, Ye Bei and the old man completely ignored them.


After hearing to Ye Bei what Ye Bei said, the old man stagnated.


When those old eyes looked at Ye Bei again, his heartbeats suddenly accelerated.


He did not know why, but deep in his heart, there was a feeling that what the young man before him said just now was all true and beyond doubt.


Hu!


He took a deep breath and put one hand on his chest.


Facing Ye Bei's question, it took the old man for a long time before he recovered.


"That's odd, if you don't give money, then I just won't sell it, isn't it that simple?" While saying this, the old man stretched out his hand and grabbed the wooden sculpture on the table, "I almost sacrificed my life to get this thing, I can't just give it to you based on your story!"


After getting the carving back into his hand, the old man felt more and more that this antique shop was too out of ordinary.


"I'll change the shop!"


After dropping this, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave...


Originally, many onlookers in the shop were thinking of watching the excitement. They felt that Ye Bei and the old man were playing buyer and seller. But after seeing this twist of turn, they were all confused.


"It's not in accordance with the script."


"What kind of plot are you playing?"


"It seems to be such a situation. Just now, the antique shop owner bragged as he fabricated a mythological story, and talked a lot, saying that this wood carving belonged to him hundreds of years ago and asked this old guy to give it to him for free, but the old guy feels not right, so he wants to leave directly."


These tourists must have taken brain supplements when they were young since they could conclude a very good summary like this.


However, they didn't notice at all that from beginning to end, the old man and Ye Bei completely ignored their words.


It seemed that in the Wensheng antique shop now, all the people in the room were non-existent.


"Are you sure you want to leave?"


Ye Bei looked at the old man's back leaving, his expression did not change, but... deep in his mind, he vaguely remembered the small town hundreds of years ago. As a sculptor, at least during that time, he lived quite easily.


There were many people and many things that were worth savoring.


Therefore, when the old man was about to reach the exit, Ye Bei spoke again.


The old man also stopped his step.


"No money is okay, but you have to give me good luck."


After he turned around, he this directly as if this sentence had long been thought by him a long time ago.


But old man's body trembled extremely badly because, at this moment, he didn't know what was going on in his heart, he had completely believed what Ye Bei said.


And he also believed that Ye Bei was no one else but that carving master.


"Give good luck? Hello, you two, are you acting? It's just an ordinary rattan sculpture. It indeed looks so delicate and polished on the surface. But it looks like a modern handicraft... For such a show, is there a need to be so troublesome like this?"


But at this time, a young man said coldly.


This guy was also full of courage as after he said that, he walked in the direction of the old man straightly with his few companions.


"Don't look at me young, I still have a lot of experience in antiques, especially among the younger generation, at least I can rank in the top ten... Old gentleman, show me the rattan carving."


Though he said this, he didn't care whether the old man was willing or not, he directly stretched out his hand, ready to snatch it from the old man.


As for the companions who followed this guy behind, their reaction speed was extremely fast.


When they heard that young man's voice, they had already started to move, and immediately surrounded the old man in the middle.


"It seems that something is going to happen."


"This kid is bold."


"What is he going to do?"


Upon seeing this, some unsuspecting tourists backed away.


At the same moment, almost all the people in the lobby of the shop were looking at this guy.


After feeling these gazes, this guy's expression became more and more arrogant.


And since the old man didn't have much defense himself, in addition to so many people around him, his reaction was slightly slower because of his oldness.


As a result, the rattan carving was really snatched by Xia Hui.


After he picked up the rattan carving, he really started to inspect it seriously.


The corners of his mouth were slightly bent.


"The feel is also very smooth. If this thing is really as amazing as you say, I will definitely buy it in front of everyone at a very high price! But a pity, in my opinion, the value of this thing is no more than 100 yuan."


Having said that, this guy still did not feel enough, so he added, "Watching your acting is really tiring. Isn't it just a fake wood carving? If you want it, I can send it to you, it's really boring to waste so much of my time."


That young guy glanced at the wood carving again and then threw it in Ye Bei's direction.


Whoosh!


After the carving was thrown to Ye Bei by him, he put one hand in his pocket, put on a posture that he thought he was very handsome and walked out of the shop.


But as he only took two steps, he faintly felt something was wrong...


As expected, in the lobby, the groans of the tourists did not appear at all.


Instead, behind him, it became extremely silent in a short moment...


"Boss!"


"Brother Xia Hui!"


"It seems something is unusual."


The next second, several companions who followed this guy called Xia Hui whispered from behind one after another.


Other than them, everyone who saw the situation in front of them, without exception, was inhaling.


Finally, after about three seconds, the buzzing voiced instantly exploded out.


"How can it be?"


"This is magic, right?"


"Incredible."


Unrelated people all stared with wide-eyed eyes as these exclamations came out of their mouths.


The most shocking person at the moment was the old man who came here with that rattan carving.


The dry muscles on his face trembled violently.


His skin which was originally became purple...


In front of him, there was endless fear as if at this moment, he had returned to the moment of life and death in the northwest desert a few months ago.


Because the scene in front of him was so much like the original one!


The rattan carving thrown by Xia Hui did not fall to the ground, but in this way, in front of countless people, it magically suspended in the lobby of Wensheng Antique Shop.


There was no external traction.


Just like that, it dignifiedly avoided the so-called gravity.


But the old man knew very well that this situation of wooden sculpture was definitely not accidental.


This also confirmed his guess from the other side...


"You all get out of here!"


With that shocked face, the old man stared at the suspended wooden sculpture as he suddenly yelled.


"This wooden sculpture belongs to me. Today, I'm here to sell it to the owner of this shop. It has nothing to do with any of you." The voice of the old man continued.


However, even after his shout fell, everyone in the lobby, including Xia Hui, did not respond.


As for the old man, he didn't pay attention to those people around...


With his eyes still staring at the woodcarving, his body moved towards the suspended wooden sculpture without hesitation.
