Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 519: Depressed
There was a sparkling greenish Guanyin vase with its mouth tightly closed with a beautifully carved ornate cork made of jade. The Guanyin vase did not have the slightest gap, and its surface was carved with strange symbols that were also used by cultivators to write runes.
What made Tang Xiu excited was not the appearance of the symbols, but something inside the vase. There was a drop of dazzling golden liquid the size of marble lying motionless inside.
After taking Guanyin's vase, Tang Xiu's face slightly changed, as he could feel that this little Guanyin vase weighed several hundred pounds. An ordinary person would not be able to move it even if he exerted all his strength.
"Oh?" Tang Xiu knit his brows. He was quite surprised to find that his strength, which was around 10,000 pounds, was unable to pull the jade cork that sealed the vase. After a moment of observation, Tang Xiu suddenly realized that the runes inscribed on the surface of the vase were actually forming an unusual array. It was so unusual that even he himself who was extremely knowledgeable in arrays had no idea for what it was to function for.
Take first.
Tang Xiu did not learn it immediately because of time, and only picked it up as he walked towards the fourth room on the left. Although he did not sense any special objects with fluctuating spiritual power after covering the area with his spiritual senses, he still observed everything closely.
However, to his disappointment, nothing special caught his interest. In the end, his eyes fell on the head of an enormous golden dragon. His entire body was made of gold, and the carving was extremely beautiful. Tang Xiu discovered that it weighed around 200 pounds after trying to move it.
Situ Boyang, who was sitting on the sofa in the corridor near the elevator outside, had a smile on his face. Tang Xiu's second choice made her satisfied. He did feel that Guanyin's vase was very unusual given its weight of hundreds of pounds, yet no one among the eight generations of the Situ Family was able to figure out what it really was. Therefore, she did not feel pressured by Tang Xiu choosing Guanyin's vase.
"Patriark, the third object taken by Tang Xiu was the Golden Dragon Head of our family. ”
The voice of the Situ family members from the monitor room came from the earphones.
"What?"
Situ Boyang's expression became blank and empty, as he immediately jumped off the sofa and ran towards the corridor. The speed is very fast, unlike what parents can do. When he came to the left side of the fourth room, he saw that Tang Xiu was about to head outside the room together with the head of the golden dragon, so he immediately shouted, "Tang Xiu, can you put it down? I'm willing to give you two more chances to choose as long as you hand over this golden dragon head. ”
“Situ's grandfather, we agreed earlier that you won't stop me no matter what item I choose. Are you going back on your words now that I've chosen the items? "Tang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile.
The corner of Situ Boyang's mouth twitched, and a depressed expression finally appeared on his face as he stared at the golden dragon's head brought by Tang Xiu. After caressing her hand, she said with a sour and bitter expression, “Although I did feel depressed, I never kept my promise. In order to obtain this golden dragon head, my Situ Family ancestor spent a great deal of expense and a great deal of effort, almost leading to the extermination of the Situ Family several hundred years ago, before they finally got it with great difficulty. I never thought that it would be lost in my hands in this generation. ”
“Isn't this just the head of a golden dragon thrown with gold? Besides, your Situ Family has a lot of gold, it won't be a big deal for you to reassemble, will it? "Ask Tang Xiu with a smile.
"You know nothing. ”Situ Boyang replied and finally shook her head with a bitter expression.
“Situ's grandfather, this golden dragon head is already mine, and I won't go back on my words either as I've already taken all three items. If anything, can you tell me what is special about this golden dragon head? ”Ask Tang Xiu curiously with a moving expression.
"Are you sure?" Asked Situ Boyang while looking at Tang Xiu.
"100% sure!" Tang Xiu replied without the slightest hesitation.
Situ Boyang nodded inwardly, “Legenda said that at the place of convergence between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River was the Golden Dragon, the embodiment of Yong Zhen. Then, for unknown reasons, some people found the place and cut off the dragon head with some mysterious method. After obtaining the golden dragon head, the ancestors of our Situ Family, from generation to generation, have tried their best to find the dragon body at the place of such convergence. It was a pity that they could not find it even after spending several centuries. ”
"What will happen if you find him?" Tang Xiu asked curiously.
"I don't know if the legend is true or false, but rumor has it that once the dragon's body is reconnected with the dragon's head, it restores the entire embodiment of the Golden Dragon's image, it would revive the Golden Dragon and turn it into a living being. Rumor even says that if the body of the dragon and its head were reconnected, whoever did the deed would become the ruler of the Golden Dragon, ” Situ Boyang said seriously.
Uhuk…
Uhuk…
With an expression that was between laughter and tears, Tang Xiu was confused when he saw Situ Boyang, “Kakek Situ, did someone make a member of your Situ family brainwashed or something? This is so absurd, yet you all still believe it? This golden dragon head was only made of gold. Only, his statue was so beautiful and beautiful that it made him look like a human. ”
Situ Boyang smiled, “Because of that, I don't know if it's true or false, as I said. However, the people of the Occult Sect were all in line with this view based on the idea that countless magical things and mysteries existed in this boundless universe. If the legend was truly wrong, we would only be disappointed at most, but if it were true, our Situ Family would benefit greatly. I'm sure you I don't need to say more, right? "
"All right then! The Situ Family was now unshackled by this absurd rumor! Later on, your family will not have to search too much for it. If anything, I will take this object, and I will also need 10 days. I promise you that all the talismans will be handed over to the Situ Family at that time. However, I hope you can send someone to Shanghai to pick them up after it is done. ”
“For me, a talisman is more important than a golden dragon head. Since we already have a previous agreement, then these three objects are yours. You leave them here for now, I will instruct someone to take them outside for you, "situ Boyang said with a sigh.
"No need," Tang Xiu said with a smile. “Help me pick up the ancient bronze lights and the Guanyin vase. I can bring this golden dragon head myself. ”
"Do you think I can bring Guanyin's vase?" Ask Situ Boyang with a forced smile.
"okay!" Answer Situ Boyang.
Ten minutes later, the head of the golden dragon had been moved by four powerful people to Tang Xiu's Range Rover. Unable to put in the trunk, Tang Xiu dismantled the back seat and stuffed the golden head dragon inside. As for the ancient bronze lamp and Guanyin vase, he secretly stored it into his interspatial ring.
"Tang Xiu, go see Lulu! He's still waiting for you! ”
Situ Chao had apparently been waiting outside the courtyard. He looked distressed when he saw the four members of his family placing golden dragon heads onto Tang Xiu's car. It took quite some effort to calm her emotions and then smiled as she spoke to Tang Xiu.
“With this thing in my car, I dare not leave it at all. Anyway, I'll call Lulu and ask if she has anything to do. If it's okay with her, then I'll come back first" Tang Xiu said with a smile.
After saying that, he dialed Lulu's number and told her about the matter with the head of the golden dragon. He didn't keep it anymore and told her to drive carefully.
****
It was already 12am when Tang Xiu returned to the Tang Family residence.
What surprised Tang Xiu was that his father and grandfather, Tang Yunde and Tang Guosheng, were still awake. They were currently sitting and chatting on the sofa inside the living room, while the aroma of the rolling tea filled every corner of the room.
"Grandfather, Dad, you two are still awake ?!" Tang Xiu said with a smile after entering the room with big strides.
"Are you not going back to Shanghai tomorrow? We are waiting to talk to you. That's right, where did you go today? "Tang Guosheng smiled asking.
Ding, ding …
Tang Xiu's phone rang. It was a notification for several short messages sent at the same time. Tang Xiu did not rush to answer Tang Guosheng as he looked at the message instead. Immediately, his facial expression was replaced by a strange look.
2. 5 billion yuan has just been transferred to his account twice.
Also, the two remaining text messages were sent by Jinmen Tian and Li Yuan, saying that they transferred money to him first because they trusted Tang Xiu.
After reading it, Tang Xiu looked up and said with a smile, “I attended a black market auction, and the harvest I got there was quite large. ”
"Are you participating in the Capital Auction organized by Situ Family?" Tang Guosheng's expression moved as he asked.
"Are you participating in the Capital Auction organized by Situ Family?" Tang Guosheng's expression moved as he asked.
"Yes!" Tang Xiu replied with a smile.
“The Situ family does have a rich heritage and capital. It was extremely difficult to estimate their true strength. From my estimation, their strength is no weaker than our Tang Family. Nevertheless, the annual Capital Auctions held by them were practically underground auctions, black markets, and most of the items auctioned there were objects that could not be exposed to the public. After all, it was because they were part of the Invisibility Sect that the big family in Beijing turned a blind eye to the Situ Family. Xiuer, I'm a bit curious now, how could attending the auction hosted by Situ's family ever cross your mind? ”
Tang Xiu explained the matter with Li Laoshan seeking his help, and finally ended the explanation with a smile, “I never thought that Wang Daoyuan would easily bury the axe and reconcile with Li Laoshan. However, since their problems have been resolved, I can be considered to have achieved my goals as well. ”
Tang Guosheng nodded with a grin, “You're fine. After all, you haven't told me the harvest you got today! ”
"I got Emperor Qin's Imperial Jade Seal and Nine Phoenix Hairpin. I spent 3. 1 billion to buy these two items at auction, ” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
"What?"
Tang Yunde and Tang Guosheng looked just as empty in shock.
3. 1 Billion?
He suddenly boldly spent 3.1 billion yuan at the auction? Isn't this wasteful and wasteful?
One can indeed make money by spending!
But ... Tang Guosheng suddenly thought that ... was he wrong to hand over 50 billion yuan to his grandson? With such wasteful and wasteful expenditure, even 50 billion yuan would not be enough for him to waste!
