The mouth of the green Guanyin vase was sealed by a beautifully carved jade stopper without the slightest gap. The surface of the Guanyin vase was engraved with strange characters, which were used by many cultivators with ordinary cultivation to engrave talismans.
What made Tan Xiu excited was not the characters on the surface, but what was inside the jade bottle. It was a drop of golden, glistening yellow liquid, the size of a marble, lying quietly inside.
After holding the Guanyin vase in his hand, Tan Xiu's expression changed slightly because he keenly sensed that this small Guanyin vase weighed hundreds of kilograms. If it was an ordinary person, even if they exerted all their strength, they would not be able to lift it.
"Huh?"
Tan Xiu frowned. To his surprise, he could not pull the jade stopper at the mouth of the vase with his strength of ten thousand kilograms. After observing for a moment, Tan Xiu finally realized that the runes engraved on the surface of the vase actually formed an array formation on the surface. This array formation was very strange. Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he did not know its function without in-depth understanding.
"This is it."
Because of time constraints, Tan Xiu did not immediately study it. Instead, he directly put it away and walked to the fourth room on the left. Although he did not find anything special with spiritual power fluctuations in his divine sense, he still carefully observed for a long time.
However, to his disappointment, he did not find anything special. Finally, his eyes fell on a golden dragon head. This dragon head was very big, made of gold, and the carving was even more exquisite. Tan Xiu moved it and found that it weighed more than two hundred kilograms.
In the corridor outside the elevator, Situ Boyang, who was sitting on the sofa, had a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with the second item that Tan Xiu chose. Although he also felt that the Guanyin vase was very strange, with a small bottle weighing hundreds of kilograms, their Situ family had studied it for seven or eight generations, but no one had been able to study it thoroughly. Therefore, he did not feel much heartache that the Guanyin vase was chosen by Tan Xiu.
"Patriarch, the third item that Tan Xiu chose is our family's golden dragon head."
The voice of the family member in the monitoring room came from the headset.
"What?"
Situ Boyang was stunned, and his expression changed drastically. He instantly jumped up from the sofa and rushed into the corridor. His speed was very fast, and he didn't look like an old man at all. When he rushed into the fourth room on the left and saw Tan Xiu coming out with the golden dragon head, he immediately shouted, "Tan Xiu, can we make a deal? You give up this golden dragon head and I'll let you pick two more things."
Tan Xiu shook his head and smilingly said, "Grandpa Situ, we've agreed before that you won't stop me no matter what I choose. Now that the three items have been chosen, you won't regret it, right? “
Situ Boyang's mouth fiercely twitched a few times. He finally looked at the golden dragon head that Tan Xiu was holding with a distressed expression. After stroking it for a while, he bitterly said, "Although this Situ Boyang is very distressed, I'll never regret my words. The ancestors of the Situ Family have spent a great deal of effort and paid a huge price for this golden dragon head. It almost caused the Situ Family to be exterminated hundreds of years ago. I never thought that I would lose it in my hands today. "
"Isn't it just a golden dragon head cast from gold?" Tan Xiu smilingly said. "Your Situ Family has a lot of gold. At worst, you can just cast it again!"
"What the hell do you know?!"
Situ Boyang opened his mouth and finally shook his head with a bitter expression.
Tan Xiu's expression moved and curiously asked, "Grandpa Situ, this golden dragon head is already mine. I've already picked three items, so I won't regret it. Can you tell me what's so special about this golden dragon head? "
Situ Boyang stared at Tan Xiu and asked, "Are you really sure?"
"100% sure!"
Replied Tan Xiu without hesitation.
Situ Boyang nodded silently and said, "Legend has it that the Yellow River and Yangtze River converge at the place where the Golden Dragon incarnates. Later on, for some unknown reason, someone found that place and used a magical method to cut off the dragon's head. The ancestors of the Situ Family have been trying their best to find the dragon's body in the converging place after obtaining the golden dragon head. Unfortunately, they haven't been able to find it for hundreds of years. "
"What can we get if we find it?" asked Tan Xiu curiously.
"I don't know if it's true or not, but rumor has it that the dragon head and the dragon's body are connected to restore the Golden Dragon's full appearance and can save the Golden Dragon and turn it into a living creature," said Situ Boyang solemnly. Whoever connects the dragon head and the dragon's body can obtain the Golden Dragon's recognition and become its Master. "
Cough, cough …
Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh as he looked at Situ Boyang and said, "Grandpa Situ, have the Situ Family's members been brainwashed by others? How can they believe such absurd rumors? This golden dragon head is completely cast from gold, but the carving is exquisite and lifelike. "
"That's why I don't know if it's true or not," said Situ Boyang with a forced smile. "But everyone in the Strange Doors agrees with this statement. Because there are countless magical things in the boundless world. If the rumor is false, we'll only be disappointed at most. But if it's true, I believe I don't need to tell you how much benefits our Situ Family can get, right? "
Tan Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "Alright, this absurd rumor of your Situ Family will be interrupted from today onwards! Your family doesn't need to waste money and effort to find it later. I'll take this thing away and give me 10 days to hand over all the talismans I promised you to the Situ Family. However, I hope you can send someone to Demonic City to get them when the time comes. "
Situ Boyang nodded and sighed, "Compared to this golden dragon head, I value those talismans more. Since we've agreed on this beforehand, these three items are all yours. Just put them here first! I'll send someone to help you carry them out. "
"No need," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Please help me carry the ancient bronze lamp and the Guanyin Vase. I can carry this golden dragon head. "
"Do you think I can carry that Guanyin Vase?" Situ Boyang forced a smile.
Tan Xiu stared blankly for a moment before he couldn't help laughing and said, "Indeed! This Guanyin Vase is very strange. I found that it's heavier than this golden dragon head. Alright! I'll have to trouble Grandpa Situ to send someone to move this golden dragon head to my car! "
"Alright!"
Situ Boyang replied.
Ten minutes later.
The four stalwart men moved the golden dragon head to Tan Xiu's Land Rover. Since the trunk couldn't fit it, Tan Xiu brutally tore the back seat of the car and put the golden dragon head inside. As for the Guanyin Vase and the ancient bronze lamp, he quietly put them into his interspatial ring.
"Tan Xiu, go to Lulu's place! She's waiting for you! "
Situ Chao had already arrived and was waiting outside the courtyard. With a distressed expression, he looked at the four clansmen putting the golden dragon head into Tan Xiu's car. Only then did he try to calm down his mood and squeezed out a smile.
"With this thing in the car, I don't dare to leave easily." Tan Xiu said with a smile. Anyways, I'll call Lulu and ask her if there's anything else. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. "
After saying that.
He dialed Ouyang Lulu's number and told her about the golden dragon head. She didn't ask Tan Xiu to go to her place, but told Tan Xiu to be careful on the road.
It was already midnight when he returned to the Tang Family's ancestral residence.
To Tan Xiu's surprise, his grandfather, Tang Guosheng, and his father, Tang Yunde, were still awake. Both of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room and chatting. The fragrance of tea filled every corner of the living room.
"Grandpa, Dad, you haven't rested yet?"
After entering the door, Tan Xiu said with a smile.
"You're going back to Shanghai tomorrow, aren't you?" Tang Guosheng said with a smile. "That's why we're waiting for you and have a chat with you! That's right, where did you go today? "
"Ding …"
Tang Xiu's cell phone's ringtone sounded as several text messages were sent at the same time. He didn't hurry to reply to Tang Guosheng. Tan Xiu took out his mobile and looked at it. A strange expression suddenly appeared on his face. It was because he found that two huge sums of 2.5 billion had been transferred to his account.
Moreover!
The remaining two short messages were sent by Jinmen Tian and Li Yuan. They said that they believed in Tan Xiu's character and transferred the money to him in advance.
Tan Xiu looked up and said with a smile, "I went to participate in a black market auction and got a good harvest."
Tang Guosheng's expression moved and asked, "Did you participate in the Imperial City's auction held by the Situ Family?"
"That's right!" Tan Xiu said with a smile.
"The Situ Family has a deep heritage and it's very difficult to estimate their family's strength. It's estimated that even our Tang Family is not much stronger than the Situ Family. Every few years, they hold an auction in the Imperial City. To put it bluntly, it's a black market auction. Most of the things auctioned are things that can't see the light of day. The reason why the major families in the Imperial City turn a blind eye to the Situ Family is because the Situ Family is a member of the Occult Sect. Xiu, I'm very curious. Why did you think of participating in the auction held by the Situ Family? "
Tan Xiu told him about Li Laoshan's request for help. Finally, he said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Wang Daoyuan would turn hostility into friendship with Li Laoshan so easily. However, since their matter has been resolved, it can be said that I've accomplished my mission. "
"You did a good job." Tang Guosheng nodded and smilingly said. "That's right, you haven't told me what harvest you got today!"
"The Qin Emperor's Imperial Jade Seal and the Nine Phoenix Hairpin." Tan Xiu said with a smile. "I spent 3.1 billion to buy these things in the auction."
"What?"
Tang Guosheng and Tang Yunde looked dull at the same time.
3.1 billion?
He actually dared to spend 3.1 billion in an auction? Wasn't this too extravagant?
If he could make money, he could spend it!
Tang Guosheng suddenly felt that he had made a mistake by handing over 50 billion yuan to his grandson. He spent so much money that even 50 billion wouldn't be enough for him to toss and turn!
