Chapter 394: Money temptation

I was stunned, "The people here are really exaggerated. Even if they are really rich, you don't have to wear jewelry and go out. Don't you feel tired if you are so heavy?"
Gao Peng smiled bitterly, "People's customs."
Nima, there is no bottom line for showing off wealth. Why do you want me to be such a sling?
I couldn't help but squat down and carefully looked at the gold bricks under my feet. Those gold bricks were yellow, orange, and shiny. It made me itch. How much is such a large gold brick worth? If you pry off a few pieces and bring them back to modern times, will the legendary financial freedom be realized immediately?
Financial freedom is a life that everyone yearns for. From now on, there is no need to worry about car loans and mortgages, and no more worry about money. What a wonderful life that is.
Even though I have not yet entered the society, I already know the five major things in life-wife, son, car, house ticket, one is not missing, one is missing, my life is not complete and prosperous, nor can I be regarded as a winner in life.
Just tap off a few gold bricks or the gems inlaid on the roof and walls, and I will develop.
At this moment, I was driving a sports car, living in a mansion, dressed as five or six people, and arrogant to others. Wipe, that's the life of the rich.
I really couldn’t stand the temptation, and unconsciously reached out to the gold bricks. My attention was all on the gold bricks. I didn’t even notice that the men and women who were wearing gold and silver jewelry walking on the street all stopped, together. Looking at me maliciously.
Just when my hand was about to touch the gold brick, I felt my wrist was grasped by a tong-like hand, and Li Yuantai's thunder-like roar sounded in my ear.
"Luffy, what did you do? They said that after entering the city, you are not allowed to eat and move, why are you so disobedient?"
The moment I was grasped by Li Yuantai, I suddenly came to my senses, feeling that my actions were indeed too stupid. I looked back at the three friends, and they still remained unchanged.
Naturally, Li Yuantai was not tempted because of his high mana. No amount of money would be a big deal to Gao Peng, who was rich in the enemy's country. Duan's full attention was still only on the time shuttle in his hand. The gold and silver jewelry was everywhere for him. Said to be similar to the stones on the street.
I bowed my head regretfully, and said ashamed, "I'm sorry, somehow just now, I was dazedly trying to pry off a gold brick."
Li Yuantai said solemnly, "There are so many weird things in this city, everyone must be careful."
The men and women who wore gold and silver jewelry saw that I was stopped by Li Yuantai but did not pry the gold bricks. They all smiled contemptuously, and then continued to walk casually on the street.
eccentric?
Indeed, it is simply too weird, completely unreasonable decoration, not only people, but also streets and buildings. Do you need to use gold tiles to pave the ground and decorate houses with countless gems?
I suddenly remembered that when we were sealed in a cave by Xing Tian with grievances, didn't we see the people of this country in a fragment of time?
The kind face of the old fishing man and the innocent look of cute children, as well as the simple smiling faces of men and women who work hard at the pond, appeared in my mind. I still clearly remember that those women were just ordinary peasant women, and they had no jewels on them. They were more than jewels, they didn’t even have a simple accessory.
Why are the people in the time fragments so different from the men and women wearing gold and silver jewelry?
What exactly is going on? The Wuxian Kingdom in front of you is the same Wuxian Kingdom in the time fragments?
Except that Dui didn't see the time fragment, I believe Gao Peng and Li Yuantai should have the same questions as me.
When I was full of doubts, I suddenly found an old woman in black clothes sitting under the eaves next to her. The old woman was so old that she had lost her teeth, her cheeks were shrunk in, and her face was full of wrinkles and furrows, and her turbid eyes seemed to have seen her. The ups and downs of the world and the separation of joys and sorrows.
I looked at this old woman and suddenly felt very upset. When did she sit under this roof? There was no one under the eaves just now? A hint of fear quickly grabbed me, and a cold sweat broke out instantly.
At this moment, the old woman was sitting on the floor, muttering words.
Since this is Wuxian Country, this old woman should be a wizard, right? I don't know why, when I saw this old woman, this thought came to me immediately.
I boldly walked over, wanting to hear what the old lady's slumped mouth was talking about.
However, after I walked over, I heard something that made me creepy.
"Everyone in the world says money is good, and it takes a lifetime to suffer from it. Did you know that silk, silk and satin are like coffins, and gold and silver jewels are shackles. Once you wear these two things, you immediately rush to Huangquan without looking back.
Hearing the old woman saying this, and looking at the gold and silver jewelry in front of me, I suddenly felt a tingling scalp.
Why should gold and silver jewelry be tied to the unlucky things like coffin shackles? Then it's Huangquan or something, isn't this old woman a lunatic?
The old woman didn't seem to notice my expression at all, instead she let out a creepy laugh.
At this moment, a few big guys with strong physiques and hateful faces rushed in with knives. When they saw the gold and silver jewelry all over the floor, they immediately smiled.
"Developed, we can finally get rid of poverty and live a rich life."
"Go, grab, all the gold and silver jewelry here belong to us."
"I want all gold and silver jewelry."
Seeing this, Gao Peng hurried forward and persuaded, "Everyone, don't mess around, things here can't move."
A big man wielded a machete and yelled at Gao Peng, "Shut up, little Huang Mao, take it easy. There are babes all over here. Only fools can do nothing when they get here. Little Huang Mao, I warn you, if you dare to get in the way. , I have to slash you to death!" After that, he threatened with the gleaming machete in his hand.
Gao Peng also wanted to persuade him kindly, but Li Yuantai stopped him and said in a low voice, "Brother Gao, you have persuaded. It is their business that they refuse to listen. Even if it is death, it is their fate. You must know that life and death have fate and wealth. Many things are destined and no one can change."
The big man spit at Gao Peng and Li Yuantai, "Go away, you two little boys who don't have the same hair, don't think about grabbing jewelry from the uncle, and tell you that the treasures here are all our brothers. It’s not your part." Then he pointed at us with a machete, and shouted threateningly, "Little boys, get out of me. Otherwise, don’t blame the uncle’s machete for not having eyes."
Gao Peng and Li Yuantai were speechless and had to sigh and smile bitterly.
I angrily said, "I really don't know good people, it's unreasonable."
Li Yuantai pulled us aside and whispered, "Let them go."
