As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when encountering happy events.
Tan Xiu was in a very good mood. After participating in the Imperial Capital's Auction Fair, he had a deal with the Situ Family's Patriarch, Situ Boyang. His harvest was quite good, which made him very excited. He even began to look forward to seeing how many good things were in the Situ Family's treasure vault.
On the way to the Situ Family's land, Tan Xiu turned on the music in the car, letting the wonderful notes wander in the car.
"Tan Xiu, I'm really happy for you."
Sitting on the front seat, Ouyang Lulu spoke with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Her eyes sparkled with undisguised adoration.
Tan Xiu glanced at her and lightly smiled, "I'm actually very happy, but I'm afraid I'll be doused with cold water later."
"Are you talking about the Situ Family's treasure vault?" Ouyang Lulu laughed.
"That's right." Tan Xiu nodded. "I gave up billions of wealth to pick three good things from the Situ Family's treasure vault. If I don't get something satisfactory in the end, I'll lose a lot. "
Ouyang Lulu clenched her fists and seriously said, "Tan Xiu, I think you can rest assured about this issue. The Situ Family's heritage is very deep. To be honest, even I can't figure out the Situ Family's history. Maybe it's a hundred years, maybe a few hundred years, or even a thousand years. In short, their family has always stood tall, and their family members have a lot of wealth. I'm sure there must be some good things in their family's treasure vault. "
"I hope so!" Tan Xiu lightly smiled.
After driving for nearly an hour, more than a dozen cars slowly entered a manor. Tan Xiu learned from the GPS that this place was no longer within the Fourth Ring Road. However, in the Imperial Capital, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the Situ Family's wealth and power should not be underestimated.
"There are a lot of people who know martial arts."
Even though it was late at night, after the Land Rover SUV entered the Situ Family's manor, Tan Xiu could still see a lot of security guards scattered at the intersections of the internal roads. At the same time, he would occasionally see patrols passing by.
These people didn't carry electric batons or anything like that. Instead, they carried cold weapons like knives and swords on their backs. If they hadn't known that this was the Huaxia of the New Era, they would have thought they were in the Jianghu era where ancient heroes roamed the land. Tan Xiu scanned them with his Spiritual Consciousness and found that these people all had daggers or firearms on their waists.
"Tan Xiu, the Situ Clan's villa is not bad, right? This villa was the size of two regular football fields, and there were a total of twelve luxurious villas of different styles. We are walking inside, and the innermost luxurious villa is the Situ family's conference building. Ouyang Lulu was very familiar with the Situ Family and slowly introduced it to Tan Xiu.
When the convoy split up at a fork in the road, Si Tuchao had already gotten out of one of the cars and pointed at the car that was driving ahead. After Tan Xiu got the hint, he continued to drive forward and soon arrived at the innermost part of the Situ Clan.
At the center of the Situ Clan's villa was not a fountain square, but a European-style luxury villa. The three-story luxury villa covered a large area and was surrounded by a two-meter-high wall with an electric fence. In front of the only big iron gate in the south, four strong security guards were seriously standing guard.
"Get off!"
After Tan Xiu parked the car, he glanced at Ouyang Lulu and said.
At this moment.
Situ Boyang also got off the car. Seeing Tan Xiu and Ouyang Lulu approaching, he faintly smiled and said, "Lulu, the Situ Clan has a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter unless it's a special and important matter. You may be my adopted granddaughter, but we can't break the ancestral rule. You stay outside. Tan Xiu, come with me. "
Ouyang Lulu understood Situ Boyang's words since her Ouyang Family also had such an important place that outsiders were forbidden to enter. After nodding, she waved and said, "Tan Xiu, I'll go to my place first. It's a villa in front. Remember to find me after you're done with your business. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
As Ouyang Lulu left, Situ Boyang smilingly said, "Come with me, Tan Xiu! I hope you'll always keep what you've seen and heard in my Situ Family in your heart. "
"I understand!"
Tan Xiu gently nodded.
As the electric iron gate slowly opened, Situ Boyang led Tan Xiu inside. Inside the courtyard, there were still four stalwart men standing guard. Tan Xiu found that there were at least 20 experts inside and outside this luxurious villa.
"Interesting. There's even an elevator in this three-story villa."
Tan Xiu followed Situ Boyang to the elevator door on the left side of the hall and said with a faint smile.
Situ Boyang faintly smiled. As the elevator door opened and the two of them stood inside, he reached out and pressed the button below the three-story display. Almost automatically, the place that couldn't be seen before suddenly lit up with a red light showing the number -1 floor. Additionally, Situ Boyang leaned toward an LCD screen to verify his retina before the elevator began to descend.
Creak …
As the elevator stopped and the door slowly opened, a long corridor appeared in front of Tan Xiu. After the two of them walked out of the elevator, Situ Boyang pointed to the corridor in front and seriously said, "This is the Situ Family's treasure vault. There are a total of eight rooms on both sides of the corridor. The four rooms on the right side in front are used to store gold, silver, and jewelry, the wealth accumulated by the Situ Family for generations. The four rooms on the left side are the rare treasures of the Ouyang Family. I've ordered people to open the doors of the eight rooms. You can enter any room at will and pick three things you like. "
"Won't you come with me to have a look?" Tan Xiu asked with a smile.
Situ Boyang forced a smile and said, "I won't go with you. I'm afraid that I'll be distressed if you pick something good. I'll wait for you here. "
Having said that, he walked to the sofa and directly sat down.
Tan Xiu took a deep breath and walked inside. He had spent billions to get this opportunity, so he didn't want to waste his time. At the same time, he also released his spiritual sense. As Situ Boyang said, the four rooms on the right side stored a huge amount of gold, silver, and jewelry. The first room on the left side was filled with antiques, calligraphy, and paintings.
There were a lot of things in the remaining three rooms. After all, each room was 40 to 50 square meters in size. There was a row of cabinets on the walls around the room, with two rows of long glass tables in the middle. The things inside were clearly visible under the soft illumination of the light.
"Huh?"
Tan Xiu's expression slightly moved. He directly strode into the second room on the left side and deliberately looked around for a few minutes. He constantly observed the things and finally came to the item that had been locked by his spiritual sense. It was an ancient bronze lamp with a rusty surface. It was inconspicuous among the many items in the room. However, Tan Xiu keenly observed that there was a Buddhist Sarira inside the ancient bronze lamp.
This Buddhist Sarira had been specially refined by someone. Even though it had been in the ancient bronze lamp for many years, the spiritual power inside it was still intact. What surprised Tan Xiu even more was that someone had carved a Buddhist cultivation method on the Buddhist Sarira.
"Although the method is ordinary, it is indeed not easy to achieve this step on Earth, where there are no Immortals. The grade of this ancient bronze lamp should be at the level of a pseudo-immortal artifact. It seems that there were indeed powerful cultivators on Earth. It is even possible that there were Immortals who ascended from Earth in the Immortal World. "
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and put away the ancient bronze lamp. Although he still didn't know what effect this ancient bronze lamp had, it was still a pseudo-immortal artifact. If he could make use of it, it might be of great help to him in the future.
In the corridor outside the elevator, Situ Bolei, who was sitting on the sofa and smoking, suddenly moved his ears. He had put on a headset at the moment, and the sound coming from it made his expression become strange.
"The ancient bronze lamp?"
"Why would Tan Xiu choose such an item? I have studied the ancient bronze lamp. Although there is a spherical thing inside, because the mouth of the lamp is too small, the thing inside can't be taken out at all. The ancient bronze lamp is very hard and belongs to the level of an antique, so it was left in the family's treasure house. Could it be that Tan Xiu knows the origin of this ancient bronze lamp? "
Situ Bolei frowned as he thought about it. His heart that was hanging in the balance was a lot more relaxed, because the ancient bronze lamp was not among the most precious treasures that he cared about. In other words, even if Tan Xiu chose more precious things later, he could only choose two.
Soon.
Tan Xiu came out of the second room on the left. After entering the third room, he glanced at the right corner and then looked around casually. The Situ family really stored a lot of rare treasures. Tan Xiu secretly estimated that if the rare treasures in any room were to be sold, they could sell for a good price. If the Situ family wanted to, they could exchange all the things in this treasure house for RMB. The total value would definitely make countless rich people tremble, and they might even become the richest people in the country.
"Tsk tsk, they even have an imperial edict. This imperial edict … was personally written by the founder of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a good thing with a big seal. If this thing was placed outside, it would be a national treasure, wouldn't it? "
Tan Xiu shook his head. As a smile swept across his face, his footsteps gradually moved toward the right corner inside. He even became a lot more excited in his heart.
However!
No matter how excited he was, he did not want to show it, because he clearly found that there were extremely hidden surveillance cameras in every room. Therefore, he knew that his every move inside was probably being monitored by the people of the Situ family.
