Those Years When I Was at the Pawnshop Appraiser

Chen Shaojun's head was dizzy, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer on the head, he was very uncomfortable.

Opening his eyes with difficulty, there was only one table in the fairly spacious room, and on the table, an oil lamp was burning, shining brightly.

And beside the oil lamp, there is a piece of ancient jade with a green body.

This is where?

While he was wondering, fragments of scattered memories suddenly appeared in his mind.

Through the memory in his mind, he has almost confirmed that he has traveled through time.

here.

It wasn't the earth where he was in his previous life, let alone any dynasty in his memory.

This is the Great Zhou Dynasty, the ninety-seventh year of Shengde.

That's right, when Emperor Pilgrim Shengde succeeded to the throne at the age of thirty-five, he has been in power for ninety-seven years now.

Moreover, it has not been heard that his health is ill, and he does not know how many years he will be able to sit on the throne.

obvious.

This is no ordinary world.

Of course, ordinary people can't really live to be over a hundred years old.

Fifty knows destiny, sixty is considered longevity.

The reason why Emperor Shengde could live to be over a hundred years old is said to be because... he had achieved success in cultivation.

There is no doubt that this is a world with practice.

Demons and ghosts run rampant, Dao and martial arts coexist...chaotic, weird, demons, ghosts, and various legends coexist in the world.

It is a prosperous age for careerists, but it is a nightmare in the eyes of ordinary people.

And he is just an ordinary person.

One signed a contract of selling himself and became a court apprentice in Lin's pawn shop in Shengjing City.

What is worship?

In layman's terms, it is actually the appraiser who appraises the value of the pawned items in the pawnshop and totals the silver taels.

Generally speaking, being able to become a court apprentice in a pawn shop, and possibly becoming a court apprentice on his own in the future, can be regarded as a prosperous career.

After all, in the pawn shop, Chaofeng's status is not low, only under the shopkeeper.

Even the shopkeeper has to be kind to the courteous worship, and dare not be disrespectful.

only.

This world is, after all, unusual.

People die and ghosts live, monsters appear frequently, and all kinds of strange and mysterious items are available.

As for the pawn shop, it would be fine if ordinary items were appraised, but if it comes into contact with those special items, if there is no corresponding means, it is very likely to endanger life and die in hell.

Therefore, in this world, pawnshop worship is definitely not a good job, and it is a high-risk job.

Chen Shaojun remembered it clearly.

Half a year ago, when he first entered Lin's pawn shop, there were twelve court apprentices like him, but now there are only seven left.

Although not all of them have encountered accidents, some may have just lost their connections and found another way to make a living.

But it is enough to see the dangers of this industry.

"This world is too unusual and too dangerous."

After Chen Shaojun sorted out the memories in his mind, he felt chills all over his body.

Who would have thought that an ordinary dead object could also endanger life?

In this world, there are countless dead things that can endanger life.

If possible, he would never want to stay here for too long.

It is bound to change to a safer and more secure industry.

He believed that based on the memory and knowledge of his previous life, it would not be difficult to survive in this world even if he had no possessions. After a period of stability, even if he wanted to learn the legendary martial arts methods, there should be a way.

only.

On him, however, was a contract of sale signed to Lin's pawn shop.

The contract of sale of the Great Zhou Dynasty has legal effect.

Once he dares to escape, the Lin family will immediately arrest him, regardless of life or death.

And after reporting to the official, the government will also issue a notice to arrest people and send out arresters to track them down.

At the same time, he was unable to obtain a household registration, and could only hide in hiding for the rest of his life.

With his means, even if he escapes outside the city by chance, it is extremely difficult to survive, let alone he cannot escape the tracking of the government at all.

Those catchers are all skilled.

Even the Lin family has its own guards, each of whom is one against ten.

He doesn't resent his biological father for selling him to the Lin family. The family of his predecessor was poor, with three Susukadas and five children. indivual.

After being sent to the Lin family, there was still a bite to eat, and he survived.

"So, for a short time, I can only stay in this Lin's pawnshop."

Chen Shaojun sighed, finally returned to reality, and looked at the blue ancient jade on the table.

His face was full of cloudy and uncertain expressions.

This ancient jade was assigned to him by the pawnshop for appraisal.

A pawnshop is a place where the door is open for business. Every day, there will be various items pawned and harvested. Among them, special treasures will naturally be handled by the official worshipers in the pawnshop, while some ordinary things will be distributed to the court apprentices in the pawnshop in turn. .

Some have been identified and used as tests, while others are 'raw materials', that is, items that have not been identified, have no origin, and are not sure of their danger.

Obviously, this blue ancient jade is a 'raw material'.

Thinking about his sudden time travel and rebirth, Chen Shaojun had to be more vigilant about this sapphire than ever before.

Turn around and leave.

But he knew that the pawn shop was not a good place, and if the confession was not completed, it would be inevitable to suffer from the punishment of lashing and whipping.

The status of court apprentices is not necessarily much higher than those handyman servants in the pawn shop.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Shaojun carefully picked up the ancient blue jade and observed it carefully.

To identify such a 'raw material', apart from the necessary observations, the most important thing is the unique method of 'God's Hope'.

And the so-called "divine hope" is to observe with the spirit.

Everyone has spiritual power, and ordinary people's spiritual power is relatively weak and difficult to manifest.

However, the pawn shop can use a special method to concentrate the spiritual power and expand it ten times in an instant, so as to detect the special attributes of the things that need to be identified.

After half a year in the pawnshop, Chen Shaojun naturally mastered the art of divine hope.

Every time it is cast, it is extremely exhausting, and it takes at least a few hours of rest to recover.

And when he cast the technique of 'God's Hope', it was also the time when he had the closest contact with the items needed for identification, and of course it was also the time when he was the weakest and most dangerous.

Once the identified treasure contains danger of energy, he can only resist it.

It was because of this that the previous five court apprentices met an accident and disappeared in the pawn shop.

Chen Shaojun calmed down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his breathing became even.

With a special rhythm, the blood in the body was driven to rush towards his head.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

This is a process of gathering momentum, slow but firm.

brush!

At a certain moment, he opened his eyes wide, as if a ray of light rushed out and sank into the ancient blue jade.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Chen Shaojun's face gradually turned pale, and his energy was listless. It was obvious that he had exhausted a lot of energy in performing the technique of divine hope.

After a while, he moved his eyes away and let out a long breath.

Fortunately, no surprises.

Just as he was rejoicing, his spirit was in a trance for a while.

Boundless white clouds appeared in front of the eyes, and at the edge of the white clouds, it was like a majestic palace emerging. If you look carefully, no matter whether the boundless white clouds or the majestic palace, they are all reflected in a simple and majestic octagonal Lingjing.

And on top of the Octagon Lingjing, there are several strange runes in the book.

The moment he saw the rune, he understood its meaning.

Psychic Treasure Book.
