Chapter 009 Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade Slays Ghosts!
Jin Wantang was also a shrewd person.
He naturally understood the implication behind Huo Xiuxiu's words.
What Jin Wantang didn't expect was...
Cao Kun actually had this kind of connection.
He should have said so earlier!
Jin Wantang is a cunning and shrewd man.
I received a message from Huo Xiuxiu.
Jin Wantang had a plan in mind.
He had originally planned to ask the Huo family for help.
It seems impossible now.
As a last resort, Jin Wantang also found Cao Kun at the Ghost Market last night.
If the other party wants this piece of beautiful jade.
Thinking about this...
Jin Wantang had a wicked plan.
As the saying goes, "Better to die a fellow Daoist than to die a poor one!"
After returning, Jin Wantang immediately led his men to the fruit shop in Wangfujing.
As soon as the fruit shop opened for business, he rushed in and bought several fruits and pastries.
I also went to a high-end fruit store and bought some fruit.
Jin Wantang, accompanied by his underlings and carrying gifts, came to Tianyi Treasure Pavilion to visit Cao Kun.
But the gate was locked.
To show his sincerity, Jin Wantang stood at the door and waited for a while.
It wasn't until Cao Kun was seen that the previous scene unfolded.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Cao Kun agreed to the deal and took out his keys.
Jin Wantang quickly instructed his underlings to place the gifts in the main hall.
Then, he recounted his experience after buying that piece of mutton fat jade!
Cao Kun was well aware that he had provoked something dirty.
However, Jin Wantang was a lackey of the Huo family.
Moreover, he's quite an ambitious guy.
There must be quite a few old items in the house.
"Then let's go, I'll go take a look."
Cao Kun said calmly.
So the group headed straight for Jin Wantang's glass shop in Liulichang.
Cao Kun and Jin Wantang proceeded along the bluestone path.
The ancient courtyards with high walls on both sides are scattered in a secluded and secluded manner.
The alleys are narrow and winding, and sunlight can only dart down sporadically through the gaps in the eaves.
Tourists and antique dealers come and go in an endless stream.
The shouts and bargaining mingled together, creating a lively atmosphere!
Finally, Cao Kun arrived at Liulichang.
Jin Wantang took out his key and pushed open the door, but dared not go in.
Because the figure of the female ghost in red was in the courtyard.
Jin Wantang was nothing more than a street thug.
Regarding magical treasures and divine objects.
He had only heard of it, but had never actually seen it.
"Master Cao, he's inside..."
Jin Wantang's voice trembled as he said, "I...I won't go in..."
Hearing this, Cao Kun was just what he wanted to hear.
However, on the surface, he still said, "No, if something is missing, won't you blame me?"
No, that won't happen.
Jin Wantang quickly waved his hand.
"Alright, how much will you pay me to deal with the red-clad vengeful ghost inside?"
Cao Kun asked.
Seeing this, Jin Wantang held up two fingers: "Master Cao, two hundred thousand."
"make a deal."
Cao Kun turned and went into his office in Liulichang.
He could sense that the house was filled with an extremely heavy yin energy!
It was the height of summer, and the heat was unbearable.
But it was as cold as an icebox inside.
Cao Kun knew that the red-clothed ghost was nearby.
He calmly took out the Guan Yu root carving made of longan wood from the Xuanhan dragon-patterned thumb ring.
Place it at your feet.
With a thought, Cao Kun infused a wisp of dragon energy into the Guan Yu root carving made of longan wood.
In an instant, the root carving, which had been quiet, suddenly lit up with a faint light.
First, the wood grain glowed with a faint red light.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Yu's eyes snapped open.
Two crimson beams of light burst forth from the wood carving.
Like a blazing flame.
A powerful aura of righteousness and a chilling killing intent burst forth from the root carving.
The air behind Cao Kun distorted and trembled slightly.
A tall and majestic phantom slowly emerged.
It was none other than Guan Yu, the Martial Saint who wielded the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
He was clad in heavy armor, his green robe stained with frost, his phoenix eyes wide open in anger, and his long beard fluttering in the wind.
He held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade horizontally in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly.
The faint sound of a dragon's roar could be heard.
The oppressive aura swept in all directions, even forcing the surrounding yin energy to retreat step by step!
Cao Kun looked around.
Jin Wantang truly deserves his title as the overlord of Liulichang.
I have collected quite a few old items.
There are old silver ingots from the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai silver dollars from the Republic of China, as well as several strings of old bodhi beads, Buddhist prayer beads, Qing Dynasty porcelain, and so on.
Cao Kun used his Golden Eyes to examine the relevant items.

This is a treasure.
Cao Kun strode over and put the gilded bronze Pixiu into the Xuanhan dragon-patterned thumb ring.
Then he continued to examine the items.
【Item Name: Ming Dynasty Five Rats Bringing Wealth Bodhi Seed String】
【Item Description: Selected century-old Bodhi seeds, each one is round and plump, with a lustrous and translucent patina and a warm, light brown sheen.】

Cao Kun continued walking inside.
Inside the wooden cabinet against the wall, on top of the cabinet, is a late Qing Dynasty purple clay Bodhidharma statue.
[Late Qing Dynasty Zisha Bodhidharma Statue: Fine-grained clay, simple and ancient expression, widely collected in private hands.]
[Ming Dynasty Duan Inkstone: The inkstone has a thick patina and a warm, smooth inkwell...]
……
Time passed second by second.
The red-clad vengeful ghost finally revealed its true form.
"You fiend, cease your insolence—"
Behind him, Guan Yu let out a thunderous roar.
He swung his Green Dragon Crescent Blade at the red-clad ghost.
A scream rang out.
The other person's figure suddenly became much fainter.
Upon witnessing this scene, Cao Kun said softly, "Humans and ghosts are different; the mortal world is not a place for you."
The red-clad ghost stood in the corner, watching Cao Kun warily.
"Didn't you come to take me away?"
The female ghost rebuked.
"Of course not, I'll help you bury your dead."
Cao Kun said softly, then turned around and put away the Guan Yu root carving made of longan wood.
The female ghost stood there and told Cao Kun.
She was originally a Han Chinese woman, but a wealthy Manchu landlord wanted to take her as a concubine.
The woman refused and, still in her wedding dress, hanged herself!
Cao Kun nodded, hoping the other person would be reincarnated soon.
The female ghost in red bowed to Cao Kun and then told him that there was something in a box in the corner.
She had just tried to avoid the spiritual energy of two magical artifacts: a Ming Dynasty Five Rats Bringing Wealth Bodhi String and a gilded bronze Pixiu for attracting wealth.
Left with no other choice, I hid inside.
Cao Kun hadn't expected such an unexpected gain.
After the red-clad female ghost entered the jade, Cao Kun put it away and headed straight for the wooden box.
