Chapter 12: Ruby
Do you know what it means to treat money like dung?
Xing Jie is.
used to be 3 million US dollars, which could make his legs weak. But now, gold jewelry or something, has made him completely ignorant!
The reason for this change started three days ago.
The support group, the support group with dozens of people on both sides, rushed to the day after Dima and Zhou Ziyu passed those charms back.
On the Vatican side, all the ascetics are wearing linen robes, and even the inheritance rod in their hands has been rubbed to see people!
On the side of Qingcheng Mountain, it was the prison that was dispatched, and there were even several veterans, Xing Jie still had the vague impression that he was a super awesome character who went to the army to be a guide.
Is it necessary to exaggerate so much? Although the spell seems to be quite terrifying, but as for such a big fight? Isn't it all a stinky dick in movies and novels that can be easily settled?
With the sincere cooperation of both sides, it took three days to break the ban on that gate. Looking at the ascetics of the Vatican and the veterans of Qingcheng Mountain clapping their hands and celebrating each other, there was a sense of disobedience!
These strange people, obviously the treasure is about to be opened, but they disdain this place, and the two groups of people left one after another with their injured relatives and friends, and they didn't even look back! It may be that these high-ranking people in the religious world think that money is all a blockage, and it is too special to be high-spirited.
Compared with the celebration of Clint Teko and the old man, Xing Jie was very disappointed, as soon as the ban was opened, all kinds of demons and monsters would swarm out, and the smoke would rise, and the world would be restless from then on.
At the same time, the Vatican's masters chanted the name of God, summoned angels at the cost of their lives, and cast forbidden spells. And the senior Taoist priests of Qingcheng Mountain are flying swords out of the sheath, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal.
Professor Aziz and Zhou Ziyu looked at Xing Jie like idiots, and the contempt in his eyes made him a little unable to get off the stage.
"Damn, buddy, your brain is big enough, what kind of flying sword? forbidden spell? Brain show funny, how can there be that thing?" Zhou Ziyu said with a roll of his eyes.
"Dear Jay, if you're not interested in digging, go back to the camp, and get something good to eat than to be embarrassed here!" Aziz sighed, shaking his head.
Xing Jie shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "You can't blame me, it's mainly because I waited for a few days, and I originally wanted to open my eyes, but I didn't even have a fart." It makes my mysterious-minded little liver feel empty. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xing Jie's head was slapped hard by Professor Aziz. When I looked up, I saw that Professor Aziz's eyes were red, and he was on the verge of rage, the last time I saw him like this, I only had such a look when I was arguing with my uncle.
"Remember, Jay, archaeology is a very dangerous job. You don't know that temples or mausoleums like this with a long history and a certain scale are basically full of mechanisms.
After the Tutankhamun incident in 1923, several similar accidents occurred in quick succession, resulting in numerous deaths. You don't know, it's because the military has forced it down!
The reason why Professor Kramer recognized the sixteen curses was because after these sixteen curses broke out, so many people died! Every archaeological leader in Africa must remember these things!
And the fact that the temple is safe so far is nothing short of incredible, and it's kind of luck! Do you think it's interesting that most of the people here are killed or wounded?"
This is too heavy, even if Xing Jie is heartless, he will not joke about this kind of thing.
Since you said the wrong thing, you just have to admit your mistake honestly.
The other people around also knew that Xing Jie belonged to the kind of person who was arrogant, so he regarded it as an unintentional mistake and didn't care. However, Dima came over and glanced at Xing Jie and said, "Jie." You're a good guy, we all know that. But in order to remove the ban, at least five bishop-level masters were mentally damaged......"
Zhou Ziyu, who was on the side, interjected and said, "Similarly, there are still a few senior uncles on our side of Qingcheng Mountain who are lying on the ground unconscious now." ”
Xing Jie, who had become the target of public criticism, saw that he had provoked public anger, and hurriedly apologized, and promised to give them something delicious to replenish their bodies in the next few days, so that the matter could be settled.
When the ban was broken, the strange gate was like a girl with a red fruit, and it was powerless to resist, and it seemed that it was waiting for a strange Shu Huang like Aziz to come forward and push it down.
Everyone's breathing became heavy, this is also normal, there are already so many treasures in the side room that Xing Jie feels numb, so what will be in the main hall of the most important thing?
Seeing Xing Jie's hand clenched continuously, Professor Aziz hesitated for a moment, but still leaned over and whispered: "Generally speaking, there will be no treasures or anything like that in the main hall, but the statues of the people in power are placed, which has great symbolic significance. Clint taught them nervous, was concerned about the integrity of the artifact. What are you nervous about?"
"The atmosphere, the atmosphere is so oppressive. Still, I always felt like something big was going to be there. Xing Jieqiang said with a smile.
"yes, that door is too strange! And the ban on it is a little too strong. Professor Aziz muttered.
But no matter what's in it now, the answer is about to be revealed. All you have to do is gently push open that door!
How big is the largest ruby you've ever seen?
The 23.1-carat top-grade ruby from Myanmar in the 30s of the last century collected by the Mi Guo Museum of Natural History is really weak compared to the ones in front of Xing Jie.
In the center of the main hall, which is hundreds of square meters, there is a huge stone altar, on which are piled up with a pile of rubies of pure color. That's right, you read that right, it's a pile! It's a pile! Even if Xing Jie doesn't understand the appreciation of jewelry, it doesn't prevent him from being able to calculate the value of these rubies.
Not to mention the stone table, which had fallen into the thick ashes on the ground, and which had been abandoned by the owner of the temple, was already about the size of a ping-pong ball.
As long as one of them is sold, it will far exceed Xing Jie's income this time!
You can imagine the wealth that these rubies represent.
Under the illumination of the light, the light is reflected and refracted through the optical action between the inclusions inside the gemstone, revealing a flame-like light, and these rubies seem to be a raging fire.
Complementing the sparkle of the ruby is the gold ornaments placed on a stone table all around!
If it weren't for the rubies, the gold would definitely make Xing Jie excited. But looking at this now, it's like seeing piles of yellow sand!
"Professor, that's what you're talking about, and those gold jewels are really like dung compared to these. Xing Jie's eyes protruded, and he stared at the rubies without even blinking and said.
"Well, Jay, please forgive me. I wonder if the vodka I drank yesterday was a little too strong to hallucinate?" Professor Aziz said softly.
"It's simple. After saying that, Xing Jie gave Professor Aziz a punch.
"It hurts, it seems to be real!" Professor Aziz said.
At this time, a sudden change occurred, and I saw a figure appear beside Xing Jie, and then rushed forward at a very fast speed.
A gust of fragrant wind wafted by, making Xing Jie immediately judge that it was Amy!
"Mine, these are mine, whoever dares to rob me, I will take someone's life!"
At this time, where did Amy still have the noble temperament of the ladies in the past? The original pair of blue eyes exuded a light like a bloodthirsty beast!
"Amy, what are you crazy about, come back quickly!" Xing Jie was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly shouted.
But it didn't work, and Amy clung to the rubies like a madman.
"This woman is like a mother dragon, she can't see gold coins and jewels, and this ruby can't be pulled out when she gets stuck in her eyes, right?" Xing Jie muttered and stepped forward, ready to step forward and pull her back.
But at this time, he was surprised to find that the people in the entire main hall were a little abnormal, and all of them had red eyes in their eyes, as if they wanted to take these rubies for themselves.
Hell, even if these rubies are priceless, which of these people has not seen the world? All of them are from famous families, how can they be so unable to resist the temptation?
And at this moment, Xing Jie felt that his brain was fainting, and the idea of killing all the people around him suddenly came to him and snatching these gems!
Something is wrong, the situation here is absolutely wrong!
Xing Jie struggled desperately to walk out, but his feet completely disobeyed the instructions of his brain, and moved towards the long stone table step by step!
"Wake me up!" a voice sounded in Xing Jie's ears, and then he felt as if he had been hit on the head by something.
Reflexively touched it, Xing Jie stretched out his hand in confusion, and what caught his eyes was blood on his hands.
"Damn, buddy, you're so ruthless!" Xing Jie didn't understand what happened for a while, just stood there and complained.
"Hurry up and get out, we have been trapped, the people who built this place are too ruthless, and the ground of the entire main hall is full of charms!" Zhou Ziyu shouted violently.
At the same time, it was a roundhouse kick that kicked Professor Aziz out of the main hall. He picked up Professor Yang again and rushed out of the door as quickly as he could.
As for the others, I'm sorry, Zhou Ziyu is not familiar with them, and he is already very righteous enough if he didn't fall into the well and stab a few people to death as stepping stones.
"!" Seeing this scene, where did Xing Jie still have a reason that he didn't understand?
But the idea is beautiful, and the reality is cruel.
Just one step away from the entrance of the main hall, the floor of the entire main hall suddenly burst into red light. The entire space seemed to be sealed, and Professor Aziz's anxious look could be seen and he could be heard screaming there. But the reality is so cruel, an invisible force completely enclosed Xing Jie and the others into the main hall.
"If I really hang up, I will hand over Lao Tzu's earnings to my family, and I won't spare you any less!" Xing Jie stared at Professor Aziz and shouted viciously.
Then he didn't care what the other party was shouting about, sat on the ground, and made a look of waiting for death.
"It seems that Lao Tzu is going to fold here this time, but fortunately, I left 20 million for my family. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are good to me, and the descendants of the Xing family also have them, which is very good. I just don't know if my parents can survive when they learn the news, alas, it's really unfilial. Xing Jie was thinking about his future there, and sighed for a while.
