As his voice fell, the crowd burst into an uproar, thinking that they had misheard.
One must know that the Precious Treasure Pavilion was Third Master Gu's business. Anything that caught Third Master Gu's attention was in the shop, and any one of them was worth millions.
If one didn't have at least ten million yuan, one wouldn't dare to come here. The threshold was terrifyingly high.
However, Ye Chen called them a pile of trash?
Uncle Xu's expression immediately turned cold. "Young man, you have to be responsible for your own words. What do you mean by the things in my shop are a pile of trash?"
All of a sudden.
There was a smell of gunpowder in the air.
Many people's hearts skipped a beat. It seemed that Grandpa Xu was angry.
Master Xu was not someone to be trifled with. Not only did he have Third Master Gu as his support, but his methods were not to be underestimated too. Otherwise, he would not have managed such a huge Precious Treasure Pavilion so well.
Gu Yingying frowned slightly. She had no idea how to smooth things over. She was a little annoyed at Ye Chen for being too arrogant.
Ye Chen did not seem to notice that. He said calmly, "I'm telling the truth."
Grandpa Xu was so angry that he laughed. A fist-sized box appeared in his hand. After opening it, he pointed at the item inside and said, "This is a Fortune Seeking Talisman, and it's the first edition.
Rumor had it that during the Three Kingdoms period, before Cao Cao conquered Eastern Wu, he had set up eighteen Tomb Raiding Commandants to rob tombs and collect military resources. Each of them was given a Tomb Raiding Talisman, and the Tomb Raiding Talisman in my hand was one of the eighteen. Third Master Gu had spent a lot of money to buy it from a family in Xuchang.
His voice fell.
An old man dressed like an old professor exclaimed, "Master Xu, are you … are you sure this is the first Golden Groping Talisman? If it's true, then it's a cultural relic from the Three Kingdoms period. It's of great archaeological value. "
"Since Master Xu said it's true, it must be true. Don't forget that Third Master Gu was the one who took the Treasure Raiding Talisman. Why don't you think about it? Would Third Master Gu be interested in ordinary items?"
"Master Xu, I wonder if you're willing to part with this treasure? I'm willing to pay five million!"
"…"
Everyone's eyes lit up as they stared at the talisman in Grandpa Xu's hand.
Uncle Xu ignored them. Instead, he looked at Ye Chen by instinct, trying to figure out something from his face. However, Ye Chen remained unmoved.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He then walked to a row of wooden shelves and pointed to a white stone the size of an egg on the fifth row. "This is a relic of an eminent monk from overseas.
Before his death, the eminent monk did not eat or drink for a month. He ordered his disciples to seal himself in the altar in advance, and then he was enshrined in the temple, enjoying the sound of sutras day and night.
A hundred years passed. Due to the outbreak of war, an army raided the temple and accidentally knocked over the jar. They found the senior monk sitting on the altar with a ruddy complexion as if he had just died.
After someone carried the body of the eminent monk out, they discovered that there were a total of 108 sariras at his feet.
And the one in my shop is the biggest of them all. "
Uncle Xu spoke confidently as if he was showing off, causing countless people to inhale. Usually, it was taboo to talk about religion, especially things like sariras. They would usually be asked to take it back. However, not only did Uncle Xu get it, but he even put it in the shop openly …
Someone nodded and said, "I've heard about this too. I think it's from India. The eminent monk was posthumously conferred the title of Bodhisattva by the Indian royal family after his death. It's said that after the eminent monk passed away, the sariras that were produced have the power of the eminent monk when he was alive. They can eliminate disasters and solve problems."
Ye Chen could not help but shake his head. How could they boast about the stone of an ordinary monk like it was a treasure?
When he was still in the cultivation world, there were Buddhist almighties who wanted to enlighten him. In the end, he killed countless people, including arhats and bodhisattvas.
Meanwhile, the things in their bodies were the real sariras. They contained great power. However, Ye Chen did not even bother to look at them. He fed them to his pets casually.
Uncle Xu saw him shaking his head immediately. His expression was getting colder as killing intent flashed faintly in his eyes. "I'd like to know where you get your confidence from. How dare you look down on these things that I'm introducing?"
The people looked at Ye Chen in an unfriendly manner. The things that they treated as treasures were trash to Ye Chen. Was that not a slap to their faces?
Gu Yingying scoffed upon seeing that.
'Let's see how you're going to calm everyone down now!'
Ye Chen said coldly, "So what? Apart from showing off and doing some research on these things, they're just worldly things after all. Treasures are treasures. They're no longer treasures once they're stained with money. "
"How arrogant. I wonder what kind of things are considered treasures?" Uncle Xu could not stop scoffing.
Now, he was almost certain that Ye Chen was messing around on purpose. The reason why he was still holding back was because of Gu Yingying.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "To me, only things that contain spiritual energy are considered treasures. For example, the Taoist talismans. A Five Thunder Talisman can command the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. Another example would be a flying sword. With a single thought, one can control the sword and fly 10,000 kilometers away."
His voice fell.
Everyone immediately laughed and looked at him as if he was an idiot. They began to wonder if he was crazy.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gu Yingying blushed because of what he said. She glared at him angrily. "There's no such thing as you in reality. It's unrealistic. "
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That's why I said that everything in this shop is trash. It's simply unsightly."
Ye Chen smiled calmly.
Uncle Xu flew into a rage and was about to explode.
The old professor from before interrupted, "Grandpa Xu, since this little brother's eyes are so sharp, why don't you show him the treasure of the shop?"
As soon as he said this.
Everyone immediately responded to his question.
"That's right, Grandpa Xu. I've always heard that you have a treasure of the shop that you've been hiding for close to ten years. We've never seen it before. Why don't you show it to us today and show it to someone?"
The group of people began talking, saying that they wanted to see the treasure of the shop.
Even Gu Yingying's interest was piqued. "Uncle Xu, we have a treasure of the shop? How come I've never heard of it? "
Uncle Xu was a little hesitant. However, he said after taking a deep breath after seeing Ye Chen's nonchalant expression, "Sure, I'll show you the treasure of the shop today. Let's see what you have to say."
After saying that, he returned to the storeroom alone.
He took the key and returned to the warehouse alone, not allowing anyone to follow him.
Soon, he walked back with something wrapped in a black cloth. He looked serious. The item was roughly the size of a pot lid, and it was wrapped tightly in the black cloth.
"Grandpa Xu, is this the treasure of the shop?" someone asked in disbelief.
Uncle Xu nodded and lifted the cloth.
A bronze mirror was revealed to everyone. It was the size of a pot lid, and it was in the shape of a pancake. There was a lot of bronze on it.
Gu Yingying walked over curiously to take a look. She was a little disappointed. "Uncle Xu, isn't this just an ordinary ancient mirror? How can it be the treasure of the shop? Don't tell me that Emperor Qin used it before. "
What she said was what everyone was thinking about.
"Miss, put your face to the front of the mirror and try again." Uncle Xu smiled mysteriously.
Gu Yingying hesitated for a moment, but she still moved her face closer.
In the next second …
Then, something strange happened.
She could not stop shaking while holding the bronze mirror with both of her hands. Fear filled her pretty face as if she had seen something terrifying.
Uncle Xu snatched the bronze mirror away immediately. Gu Yingying's body went limp, but Ye Chen held her quickly.
"Ghost … There's a ghost in the mirror!"
Gu Yingying's face was extremely pale when she finally snapped back to her senses. Fear filled her eyes when she looked at the bronze mirror again.
Uncle Xu was not surprised by her series of reactions at all. He shook his head and said, "Miss, do you know why I treat it as the treasure of the shop but never show it to anyone?"
Ever since he got the bronze mirror.
He realized that whenever he looked at the mirror, he would see a headless female corpse sitting in front of the dressing table. She was combing her hair with a head in her hand.
As he looked at it, the female corpse would turn 180 degrees with her head in her hands. She would then smile cruelly at him and walk toward him one step after another.
It was very real.
It was as if it was happening right before his eyes.
He thought it was an illusion, so he secretly got someone to experiment with it. He found out that the result was the same, but the image that everyone saw was different. Since then, he had put the bronze mirror away and never showed it to anyone.
Everyone was confused. Someone could not help but ask, "Grandpa Xu, can I see it too?"
Uncle Xu nodded.
The person walked over and mimicked what Gu Yingying did earlier. He peed his pants in fear and lay on the ground, screaming that there was a ghost.
It was the same for a few people.
