Chapter 668: Fishing for Treasures
Li Mu looked at the three boxes with a strange expression, he didn't know what materials these three boxes were made of, and he hadn't seen them before, but he recognized the words printed on the top cover of the boxes.
"Treasure." It is an ancient Chinese way of writing, although Li Mu has no research on ancient characters, but he still knows this word, because there are always some people who will use ancient characters to write some auspicious words such as fortune and treasure, so he knows this word.
The old ghost discussed with Lao Meng, and they still found Terreg and them first, and Tyreg and they couldn't see any of the three boxes.
"Looks like we'll have to open the box to see what's inside." Lao Meng wanted to do it as he spoke.
"Wait." Ethan stopped Lao Meng: "Don't you think it's strange? Why is it that two chests have been opened, but none have been opened? ”
"Maybe the third chest is harder to open?" Lao Meng said.
"The locks of the three boxes are the same, and there is no reason why they can open the first two, but the third one can't." Ethan shook his head.
"Then there are only two possibilities, one is that they encountered something when they opened the first two chests, so they didn't have time and opportunity to open the last chest. It is also possible that they knew that there was any danger in the third box, so they did not open the third box. ”
Ethan nodded: "I think the first one is the most likely, the three boxes are exactly the same, they should not be able to guess what is in the third box." ”
"What then? Is it not open if there is danger? Isn't that what we star thieves do? What are you doing if you're afraid of danger? Lao Meng looked at the box in front of him, and was a little impatient in his heart.
"It's definitely going to be open, but you have to be careful." Terreg looked at the old ghost: "Open the box and do that." Let's let the experts come, and first open the two that have already been opened. Even if there is any danger, it has been minimized. After looking at the first two boxes, it's not too late to decide whether to open the third box. ”
The old ghost nodded, motioned for everyone to retreat to the bottom of the stone platform, and he himself got off the stone platform, standing under the stone platform, and couldn't see the box at all, but he saw the old ghost pull out a hook from his waist, and there was a thin thread with the thickness of a hair attached to the hook, and he threw his back to the stone platform with his back to the stone platform. Then, as soon as I pulled the thin line, I heard the sound of something falling on the ground.
Several people were on guard, but nothing happened, the old ghost turned over the stone platform to take a look, and then beckoned Li Mu and others to go up, everyone cautiously approached the box on the far left, which had been opened to look inside, but saw that it was empty, and there was nothing in it. It's just an empty box.
The old ghost opened the second box in the same way, and when everyone thought it would be the same as the first box, they went up to the stone platform and looked close to the box, but found that there was something inside.
The inside of the chest is divided into three compartments equally. From left to right, the first compartment contains a foot-long black wooden block; Inside the second compartment was a white jade-like egg, the size of a human head; The third compartment contains a metal object. It looked like a container for liquid, and the finished round belly looked like a jar. There is also no lid above, and there are three support feet underneath. There was a lot of gray-white powder in it, and I didn't know what it was, and no one had ever seen such a thing, and I didn't know what it was.
Li Mu was surprised when he saw the artifact, because he knew what it was, this was an incense burner, basically there were Guanyin, God of Wealth, or elder tablets at home, and there would be this thing, which was used for incense.
But the habit of incense seems to be only found in China on the earth, how can there be such a thing as an incense burner here, and the gray-white powder in the incense burner is all burned incense ash.
Li Mu really couldn't figure it out, if this was an incense burner, this thing should also be placed in front of the statue, why was it packed in this big box, and even the incense ashes inside were still there, what was the use of this?
"There are still things, these should be ancient artifacts, now we sent them, and we found three at once, and they all seem to be rare things, which of you knows what this is?" Lao Meng originally thought that it would be as empty as the first box, but he didn't expect that there were still things inside, and he was immediately happy.
Except for Li Mu, the others were all well-informed old star thieves, and they had seen ancient artifacts if there were not a thousand or eight hundred, but these three things, they didn't see what they were, they all looked at them silently, and no one spoke first.
Although Lao Meng is impulsive, he is not really stupid, otherwise he would not have been able to break through from the many burial places there and not die until now, although Lao Meng also wants to take out those three things to see what they are, but he does not dare to take them first, no one knows if these three things will have any evil doors.
Moreover, the fact that someone in the past opened the box but did not take these three things with them is a very bad thing in itself.
"Since no one wants to get started, let's follow the rules, does anyone want to use the right of first choice to take the contents of this box?" Tyrego's gaze swept over everyone's faces.
The Dead Star Thieves cooperate into the burial place, naturally they have their rules, and the general things are the last to go out and then share according to the agreement, but if everyone is afraid to take something in the burial place, then everyone can use their own first choice, you can choose to take one of the things, but then you can only take it yourself, if you take it and are not dead, the thing is naturally yours, and you don't need to share it with others.
Of course, this priority is only once, and only after everyone else has used up the priority can there be a new round of excellent choice.
Of course, there is also a priority to choose, which has been negotiated before entering the burial place, and there is an order for who comes first and who comes last.
If he encounters someone who everyone is afraid to open and wants to open, and has already used the right of first choice, then he can borrow the right of first choice from others, no matter what he gets, he must divide half of the person who gives the right of first choice, of course, he can also discuss it himself, this is not a dead rule.
If no one dares to take it, and no one wants to use the right of first refusal, then they will not touch these things, lest they get into any trouble.
Tyreg and the others obviously won't let go of these three things so easily, they all sniffed out, this is definitely the ancient artifact is not wrong, but because they can't see whether there is any danger, they don't dare to act rashly.
They all thought that if someone could be the first to use the right of first refusal, and that person could safely take out the things, they could use their power to take one of the remaining two items, and even if that person was tricked, they could see clearly what was in it, and it would be of great help to them to take the things.
Almost everyone had this mind, so no one was willing to strike first, but they refused to give up and leave, and for a while a group of people gathered around the box, but no one spoke.
Li Mu felt that on the three things, the black wood and the incense burner, there was a breath similar to that on the body of milk tea, and on the jade stone, there was the breath of the emperor clan who came out of the battleship of the god head clan, although it was also the breath of the emperor clan, but there was still a difference.
Li Mu himself really wanted to get one, but unfortunately he only came as Lao Meng's assistant, and he didn't have any priority at all, and he didn't even have his share of things, at most, Lao Meng took out a part of his share and gave it to Li Mu as a reward.
"Brother Hans, you can take one if you want." Terreg spoke suddenly, leaving everyone in one place.
"Can I really take one?" Li Mu showed a look of surprise on his face, but he secretly scolded in his heart: "Terreg, this old fox, actually started his idea. ”
Terreg looked at Li Mu, as if he wanted to see something from Li Mu's face, and the others also looked at Li Mu, but they didn't speak, only Lao Meng said: "Don't mess around, the ancient artifacts here are not those that can be held and played casually in the auction, if these things are not taken well, they will die." ”
Terreg pondered for a moment, looked at everyone again, and then spoke: "If no one objects, I will let the Hans brothers take one, after all, we have followed our birth and death to this point, and we should be given some power." ”
Ethan and the others did not agree or object, and it seemed that they all acquiesced to Terrege's statement.
They all had their own calculations in their hearts, those who came before them were able to open such a cave, and their strength was far above them, if they died because of the contents of this second box, the contents of this second box would be too dangerous.
Terreg felt that they would rather sacrifice some of their interests than take it themselves, and even if Li Mu took it, it might not be his thing, and if he could take it out of this planet, the thing would really be his.
"No, no, he doesn't understand anything, he's just a layman, how can he be allowed to take things." Lao Meng objected.
"It's really not a good fit." The old ghost also said something in a deep voice.
"Isn't it just to take something, and use it to make such a fuss? Mr. Tylegre is willing to let me take it, which is a kind way to give me benefits, then you are welcome. As he spoke, Li Mu reached out and fished it out of the second box, Li Mu's hand was too fast, Lao Meng didn't have time to stop him, his hand had already reached into the box. (To be continued......)
