Chapter 625: The Meng Family's Secret Vault
The next day, Xu Qiang received an invitation from the Great Elder of the Meng Family and invited him to dinner together.
"I'm sorry, I've been settling down with the head of the family for the past two days, but I haven't forgotten our agreement!" As soon as they met, the Great Elder apologized to Xu Qiang.
The agreement he said was not to give Xu Qiang a treasure, but to choose any treasure from the Meng family's secret vault.
"It's okay, I understand!" Xu Qiang smiled, just didn't forget it.
He also knew that the Great Elder was very busy, on the one hand, he had to settle the head of the family, and he must not expose that the head of the family was not dead, otherwise the head of the family might be in danger.
On the other hand, the funeral hall of the head of the family was burned to ashes, which is not a trivial matter.
The Meng family is the first-class force in the ice city, the head of the family is dead, and someone actually set fire to the mourning hall and burns the head of the family to ashes, of course, it must be investigated.
And the Great Elder must always keep an eye on the process of investigation, and must not investigate him.
"Thank you for your understanding, let's dine first, and then I'll take you there myself tonight!" said the Great Elder.
He explained to Xu Qiang that not everyone could enter the Meng family's secret vault, and under normal circumstances, there were only three people who had the permission to enter.
Elder Taishang, the head of the Meng family, plus the great elder of the Meng family.
Only these three people can directly enter the vault, while the others want to enter, no matter what the reason, they need to be agreed by two of the three, and they must be brought in by one of the thirty, and the procedures are quite cumbersome, so as to ensure the safety of the vault.
Now that Elder Taishang is dead, the head of the family can't come forward, so only the Great Elder takes Xu Qiang in.
When the two of them arrived at the vault, it was already late at night.
"You all go outside and keep guard!" The Meng family's secret vault, deep in the Meng family's manor, is located in the center of the manor.
There are multiple security measures, it can be said that they are heavily guarded, and once someone has bad intentions and triggers the alarm, they will immediately be surrounded by the Meng family.
Fortunately, the Great Elder is the person with authority, and after recognizing the Great Elder, the person in charge of protecting him immediately obeys the order.
Taking advantage of the moment when the guards were all driven out by the Great Elder, Xu Qiang rushed in without attracting anyone's attention.
Seeing Xu Qiang rushing in, the Great Elder let out a sigh of relief.
The guards of the vault are all the elites of the family, and he is really worried that Xu Qiang will not be able to enter, or he will find out when he comes in.
His worries proved unfounded, and the blood sugar floated in like a ghost, attracting even attention, even if it passed over their heads.
Being able to do this proves that Xu Qiang's strength is much stronger than that of the guards.
The secret vault is tight on the outside and loose on the inside.
The external defense is very tight, and without the cooperation of the Great Elder, it can be said that not even a fly can fly in.
But once in the vault, the situation is very different.
Inside, there are basically no defenses, it is a large underground warehouse, and a small three-story building is built above the warehouse.
The door to the vault has no key at all, it is an ancient mechanism door.
The door can only be opened if you know how to open it correctly, otherwise the trap will be triggered, forming a sealed and solid cage.
"A lot of treasures ......" entered the secret vault, and Xu Qiang's eyes were a little spent.
There are so many good things!
All kinds of precious medicinal materials are in batches.
There are other precious materials, which are also stored in batches.
The background of the family is really not comparable to ordinary people, so Xu Qiang has long insight.
"You see, this ginseng plant is three hundred years old, and it is very well preserved...... "The Great Elder took a ginseng plant and introduced it carefully to Xu Qiang.
Great stuff!
Xu Qiang's saliva was about to flow out, such precious medicinal materials are generally only available at large-scale auctions, and not every time.
Because with the development of the wild environment by humans, there are fewer and fewer areas suitable for wild medicinal materials, and of course there are fewer and fewer wild medicinal materials.
Although now some countries have recognized this and have begun to protect the environment.
But after all, it has just begun, and although the intensity of protection is not small, if you want to see results, I am afraid it will be a few years or decades away.
Therefore, this wild medicinal material, especially the hundred-year-old one, is extremely precious.
"Do you want me to take the ginseng?" Xu Qiang smiled.
"It's not my hope, it's your needs!" the Great Elder smiled a little awkwardly, his little abacus was seen through by Xu Qiang.
He enthusiastically introduced the three-hundred-year-old ginseng to Xu Qiang, because he didn't want Xu Qiang to take away too precious items.
And the three-hundred-year-old ginseng, although it is very precious, is definitely not the most precious in the secret vault of the Meng family.
Xu Qiang continued to occupy, and the Great Elder kept following.
"What's in here?" Soon, in an inconspicuous corner, Xu Qiang saw a jade box, the size of which was only a little larger than a fist.
"See for yourself!" the Great Elder was a little helpless.
Xu Qiang smiled, of course he knew it was a good thing.
He didn't know many things in the Meng family's secret vault, so he could only distinguish them by cheating, which was to look at the aura size of each treasure.
The jade box in front of him, although his appearance is not amazing, his aura is the most powerful.
Xu Qiang immediately decided that what was contained in the jade box was definitely one of the precious treasures in the secret vault, and the expression of the Great Elder also proved it.
Xu Qiang took it and opened it.
Inside was a piece of material the size of an egg, which looked like a piece of jade, a little soft to the touch, and flowing with colorful brilliance.
"It's actually a piece of chalcedony?" Xu Qiang was taken aback.
Chalcedony is the essence of jade.
To produce a piece of chalcedony, there must be a jade mine, and it is a high-quality jade mine, so that it is possible to produce a piece of chalcedony.
Yes, yes, yes,
Chalcedony can be said to be the essence of the entire jade mine.
It can be used to refine medicine, can be used to practice weapons, and has a wide range of uses, but because it is so precious, most people are reluctant to use it.
Xu Qiang never expected that in the Meng family, there was actually a piece of chalcedony.
"Do you want it?" Seeing that Xu Qiang chose chalcedony, the Great Elder's face was a little ugly.
The last thing he wanted Xu Qiang to get was the chalcedony that was placed in an inconspicuous corner.
He just introduced ginseng, deer antler, and lingzhi to Xu Qiang, not because he was afraid that Xu Qiang would find chalcedony and take away the most precious materials in the Meng family's secret vault.
However, everything he did turned out to be useless.
Xu Qiang still chose chalcedony, and you seem to like it very much, so you don't put it down as soon as you pick it up, and you can't put it down.
"That's it, no problem, right?" Xu Qiang smiled.
He didn't know that chalcedony was not the most precious thing in the Meng family, but he knew that it was the most suitable for him.
Because chalcedony can be swallowed directly to improve his strength, and he needs to improve his strength quickly at the moment, he chooses chalcedony.
"No problem, as long as you like it!" the Great Elder smiled a little awkwardly.
His reluctance to let Xu Qiang take the chalcedony does not mean that he will stop Xu Qiang from taking the chalcedony, because he knows that the consequences of stopping it are serious.
It was he who personally promised to let Xu Qiang choose one random item in the secret vault.
If he repents now and disagrees with Xu Qiang taking the chalcedony, I'm afraid Xu Qiang will immediately turn his face.
Once the face is turned around, with Xu Qiang's force dominating the absolute advantage, I am afraid that it will not only be chalcedony that will be taken away.
After choosing, the two of them left the vault.
"Second Elder, you can't go in......" As soon as the two of them came to the door, they heard the voice of the guard outside the door.
Second Elder, hearing the so-called title, the Great Elder's face sank, how could he be this ghostly guy again?
Since the head of the family fell ill, the second elder has been against him everywhere, looking fearless, and he is a little helpless.
The Great Elder, although he is the head of all the elders, is more special.
But it is only a little higher than the other elders, and the ability is greater, and it does not have an absolute advantage.
The second elder didn't buy his account, and he would reprimand at most, and he couldn't really do anything to the second elder.
"What should I do?" the Great Elder glanced at Xu Qiang.
If the second elder was allowed to see him and Xu Qiang, it would be a big trouble.
"Open the door, adapt!" Xu Qiang leaned over and snapped on the roof of the building, fortunately, the roof of the ancient small building could be hidden.
The Great Elder nodded, as long as Xu Qiang hid well, he was not afraid of the Second Elder.
When I opened the door, I saw the two elders who were entangled with the guards.
"Second Elder, what are you doing here?" the Great Elder took the lead.
"What am I doing? I have to ask you what you are doing, why are you living alone? Are you filling your own pocket?" the second elder asked.
He also received a report that the Great Elder had gone to the secret vault, so he hurried over.
Because he knew very well that there were too many good things in the family secret vault, and every single one of them made him covetous.
It's a pity that as the second elder, although he has entered many times, he does not have the right to enter alone, and can only enter the head of the family or the eldest elder.
"You don't have the right to ask!" the Great Elder snorted coldly.
He is because of the Great Elder, even if the Second Elder doubts him, he has no right to investigate him, and can only suggest to the head of the family and others.
"Hmph, it's an eventful time for the family, and I have an obligation to protect the family's property and prevent some people from stealing it!"
"I'll repeat, you don't have the right to ask, ......leave immediately," the Great Elder scolded again with a cold face.
"You must be weak-hearted, okay, since you said that I have no right to ask, I will call everyone to ......" The second elder's eyes rolled and he had an idea.
In terms of authority, he really has no right to intervene.
But authority belongs to authority, if he calls other elders and forces the great elder to give an explanation, the great elder will not be happy, right?
Yes!
The second elder was about to call the other elders when he suddenly let out a miserable scream, covering his chest with his two hands.
"Oops, how can my heart hurt so much? I'm a superpower, my body is very healthy, I don't have heart disease at all, how can I have angina?" The second elder couldn't speak with a pale face, but he knew very well in his heart that the severe pain in his heart came too suddenly.
There was no warning beforehand, it came as soon as it was said, and it was like a flood beast.
"Second Elder, what's wrong with you?" the Great Elder looked at it and was stunned, what is the situation?
Then he reacted, it must have been done by Xu Qiang.
Of course he guessed correctly, Xu Qiang saw that the second elder was entangled, and even wanted to call the other elders, of course, let the second elder get his wish.
The Shadowless Divine Needle is activated!
The invisible slender needle stabbed directly into the chest of the second elder and stabbed it along an acupuncture point, and the second elder didn't notice it in time.
In an instant, he stabbed the second elder in the heart.
Xu Qiang didn't think about asking for his life, at least now is not the time, he just made the second elder miserable, and let the second elder die of pain.
"Guys, quick, send the Second Elder away, and call the doctor to show the Second Elder......" The Great Elder immediately spoke.
Seeing the second elder's painful appearance, the people who came with the second elder did not dare to slack off, and set up the second elder to see a doctor.
Xu Qiang took the opportunity to leave, and no one found out.
Even the Great Elder, it was Xu Qiang who sent him a signal after leaving, and he found out that Xu Qiang had left, and then he also left.
