There is a stone platform more than ten meters high in the huge underground space, and dozens of stones of different shapes are placed on the stone platform, some of which look gorgeous and beautiful, while others look ugly and rough.

Although these stones come in different shapes, they all have one thing in common, and that is that they are impressive.

Each stone exudes an astonishing momentum.

"You must be careful not to damage these stones when you look at them." Zhuge Liuyun told thousands of instructions.

"Patriarch Zhuge please rest assured, we are measured." Everyone patted their chests and promised.

"You guys go......" Zhuge Liuyun waved his hand.

"Whoosh ......"

A group of people scrambled to jump onto the stone platform, and then began to circle around dozens of stones.

"Tut-tut, I've lived so big, it's the first time I've seen such a good stone, a treasure, it's definitely a treasure." A man with a long beard spoke.

"Looks good...... I just don't know if there's an extraordinary treasure in it......" said a young man with a pale face.

"It would be nice if I could cut it......"

"This is impossible, every stone here is priceless, without 100% certainty, it is impossible for the Zhuge family to cut the stone."

"Alright, let's stop gossiping, let's quickly identify the stones."

……

Hundreds of people scattered and began to identify the stones on the stone platform, and they all did the same, first stopping to look at it carefully, then leaning forward and sniffing it with their noses, then reaching out and groping up and down, and finally ...... Lost in thought......

Ma Xiaoyao's way of identifying stones is much simpler, he just touches it with his hands, neither looks carefully nor smells it with his nose, compared with others, Ma Xiaoyao looks very different.

After a few moments, Ma Yao touched all the stones, and then he stood aside and pondered.

He counted just now, there are a total of eighty-eight stones on the stone platform, a very auspicious number, when Ma Xiaoyao reaches out to touch these stones, the mysterious beads suspended in his mind will react, and the reaction is not small......

What does this mean?

It means that these stones are all treasures, and there is something extraordinary inside them. `

What caught Ma Xiaoyao's attention the most was the three stones placed in it, when Ma Xiaoyao touched the three stones just now, the mysterious beads suddenly trembled violently, and this was the first time since Ma Xiaoyao got the mysterious beads...... The first reaction was so violent.

There is no doubt that the three stones placed in the middle must be pregnant with a peerless treasure.

To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao really wanted to keep these three stones for himself, but ...... He didn't dare...... Because this is the territory of the Zhuge family, as long as he dares to move a little crookedly, the Zhuge family can tear him to pieces.

It's a human life!

The peerless treasure is placed not far away, and you can reach out and touch it...... But for various reasons, he can only see and touch at the moment, but he can't keep it for himself.

Scratch your heart!

Although his heart is very stimulated, Ma Xiaoyao is very calm on the surface, as a mature man, the first thing to do is to be happy and angry, no matter how anxious he is, he must not show it on the surface.

At this moment, Gao Shanshui came over: "Mr. Ma, what do you think of these stones?" ”

"It's okay." Ma Xiaoyao gave a vague answer.

"Okay?" Gao Shanshui was stunned: "Listen to Mr. Ma's tone...... Don't seem to be optimistic about these stones? ”

"I didn't say that." Ma Yao shook his head.

"What does Mr. Ma mean?" Gao Shanshui asked unrelentingly.

"Mr. Gao, what do you think? What do you think of these stones? Ma Xiaoyao asked rhetorically.

"I think...... Not bad......" Gao Shanshui also gave a vague answer.

At this moment, Zhuge Liuyun walked over: "Everyone, it's been a long time, you should have a result, right?" ”

"Patriarch Zhuge , say something you don't like to hear...... a sanctimonious old man sighed softly: "These stones have nothing to show for themselves, and the chance of giving birth to a peerless treasure is very low. `”

"Yes, although these stones are stronger than the stones outside, they are also limited."

"Patriarch Zhuge , I have to say...... Your eyes for collecting stones are too ordinary......"

"If these stones are auctioned outside...... Maybe get a good price......"

……

Everyone, you and me, are belittling these stones.

Except for Ma Xiaoyao and Gao Shanshui and the five brothers and sisters of the Gao family, the rest of the people expressed their opinions, and their opinions were surprisingly unified, and they were all deliberately belittling these stones.

"What? Do you all think these stones are not good? Zhuge Liuyun frowned.

"Patriarch Zhuge , we know that saying this will upset you, but we really can't lie."

"Yes, Patriarch Zhuge , we have already worked very hard to identify just now, and we also want to identify good results...... But...... These stones are really average...... That is, a little stronger than the stone outside......"

"Patriarch Zhuge , I advise you to sell them all quickly, there is no point in continuing to collect them."

"Send it to the auction house, so you can sell some more silver."

……

Everyone says that stones are not good? Are these stones really just a façade?

No, there are still people who have not expressed their opinions!

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Gao, what is your opinion?" Zhuge Liuyun asked Ma Xiaoyao and Gao Shanshui's opinions.

"I ......" Gao Shanshui hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I agree with them, these stones are indeed not very good, and they are not worth continuing to collect." ”

"Mr. Ma, do you think so too?" Zhuge Liuyun turned his head to look at Ma Xiaoyao.

"This ......" Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "I can't be sure ...... yet" Ma Xiaoyao clearly felt that when he said this, many people cast hostile eyes at him, and even Gao Shanshui frowned.

"Not sure?" Zhuge Liuyun raised his eyebrows: "Why can't you be sure?" Mr. Ma, do you have something unspeakable? ”

"Patriarch Zhuge misunderstood." Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "I don't have anything unspeakable!" I'm not sure...... It's because the environment is too noisy for me to calm down and identify the stones...... I don't want to jump to conclusions until I'm completely sure. ”

"That's the case......" Zhuge Liuyun's eyes showed disappointment, he originally thought that Ma Xiaoyao had a different opinion, who knows...... Ma Xiaoyao's answer turned out to be like this? He muttered secretly in his heart: I really let those elders say that the appraisal results are very bad...... If this gets out...... It's a big problem......

The best way to find a safe way to silence these people is to kill people, but ...... It's cruel to do that......

It's better to give more benefits, and use benefits to seal the mouths of these people.

"Patriarch!"

At this moment, a subordinate ran over from a distance: "Patriarch, something is wrong!" There were a lot of people outside, saying they were here to collect debts...... Hurry up and take a look. ”

"I see!" Zhuge Liuyun nodded with a calm expression: "If you go to sue those people, just say that I will go out to see them immediately, so that they can be restless for a while." ”

"Yes!" The subordinate took the order and departed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the stones have been identified, so let's go out." Zhuge Liuyun waved his sleeves and jumped off the stone platform first, and the others hurriedly followed.

After a few moments, everyone was back on the surface.

"Let's all go back and rest, and I'll have a banquet for everyone in the evening." After leaving a sentence, Zhuge Liuyun left in a hurry.

Ma Xiaoyao stood in place, looking at the back of Zhuge Liuyun leaving, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

"Mr. Ma, can you take a step to speak?" Gao Shanshui said in a low voice.

"Okay." Ma Xiaoyao followed Gao Shanshui to a no-man's land: "What does Mr. Gao want to tell me?" ”

"Mr. Ma, I'll tell you straight to the point." Gao Shanshui's expression was a little stern: "I hope you ...... Be able to keep silent and don't talk nonsense. ”

"Talking nonsense?" The corners of Ma Xiaoyao's mouth twitched: "I don't quite understand what Mr. Gao means?" ”

"Then I'll go into more detail, if Zhuge Liuyun asks you about those stones, you will say that those stones are very bad and not worth collecting."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"As long as you listen to me, I will give you a good payment, and besides, I owe you a favor myself."

"Mr. Gao, what do you want to do?"

"There are some things you better not know because if you know too much, you will get into big trouble."

"You just said you would pay me?"

"Yes."

"What's the pay?"

"Ten million taels of silver, how?"

"It's almost ...... to exchange silver for gold"

"Deal!" Gao Shanshui decided on the spot: "As long as Mr. Ma helps me with this, I will give you 10 million taels of gold." Speaking of this, Gao Shanshui added another sentence: "In addition, I owe you a favor." ”

Ma Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed: "Just to keep me from talking nonsense, give me 10 million taels of gold...... It seems that you have a lot of plans. ”

"Mr. Ma, just give me a happy word, can you help this favor or not?" Gao Shanshui asked in a deep voice.

"Those people...... Did you buy it too? "Ma Xiaoyao is talking about those gambling stone masters.

Gao Shanshui shook his head: "I don't have such great financial resources, nor do I have such great ability. ”

"Oh? So, someone else bought them? ”

"Mr. Ma, you have too many questions! As I've just said, there are some things you still don't know. ”

"I just want to figure things out, I don't want to be calculated."

"I can assure you that I have absolutely no intention of calculating you, and if you still don't believe me, I can swear! Swear by my ancestors! ”

“…… You've got it all down to this, if I don't say yes...... It's a little ignorant of lifting. Ma Xiaoyao sighed softly
