Chapter 131: The ancestor of the Gu family
After a while, the three of them came to a remote street, turned two more alleys, and entered a small courtyard with a separate door.
After entering the courtyard, the old man reflexively closed the courtyard door, then pointed to a rattan chair in the courtyard and said, "Please sit down!" ”
"Sir, please be seated!" Nie Lingfeng was polite, and then sat down.
At this time, the old man was holding his granddaughter and sitting on the chair opposite Nie Lingfeng looking at him.
"Old gentleman?" Nie Lingfeng looked at the old man curiously.
"You're not an ordinary person, are you?" The old man suddenly asked, and when he heard the old man's words, not only Nie Lingfeng was taken aback, but even the little girl in the old man's arms was taken aback, and then looked at Nie Lingfeng.
"What do you mean, old man?" Nie Lingfeng smiled bitterly.
"If ordinary people would never pay attention to that broken pillar!" The old man got straight to the point and said, "This pillar was handed down by my ancestors!" ”
"Oh?" Nie Lingfeng didn't dare to say much, just listened quietly.
"My ancestors left an oral teaching: When you meet someone who knows this pillar, you should ask the descendants of the family to worship him as a teacher!" The old man looked at this Nie Lingfeng and said: "This pillar has followed my Gu family for nearly two thousand years, and in my generation, the Gu family has long since declined, but the ancestral training is still there!" ”
"Mr. Gu! ……”
"Listen to me first!" The old man interrupted Nie Lingfeng's words, and then said, "My son died in a car accident five years ago, leaving only this lonely girl, but I still beg my husband to take her as a disciple......
"Grandpa! ......," the little girl cried out in horror.
"Sir, your granddaughter is still young, and you are alone, why don't you sell me this stone pillar?" Nie Lingfeng said.
"This is Zu Xun!" The old man shook his head firmly and said, "Because the ancestral precept is very clear, unless I am not a person from the Gu family." Otherwise, it must be carried out! ”
"Old man, I'll give you 100 million dollars, and you can train your granddaughter from now on, with your granddaughter's cleverness, I think. Your granddaughter can definitely revive the prestige of the Gu family! Nie Lingfeng said.
"How do you know that I care about my family...... Prestigious before? The old man was surprised.
"Can a family that has been around for 2,000 years not have prestige?" Nie Lingfeng smiled, but didn't say it.
"If Mr. agrees, you can take the pillar, if not, then I'm sorry! ......," the old man said resolutely. In fact, Mr. Gu has already calculated in his heart, can a person who can come up with 100 million US dollars from an exit be an ordinary person? Moreover, if he is an ordinary person, he just needs to deceive himself casually. Then, this pillar is his, but he is reluctant to agree, which shows that what Zu Xun said is absolutely not wrong!
"Old man!" Nie Lingfeng sighed, and then said, "That's it!" I take hope for ...... in vain"
"I don't! ......" Panpan immediately cried out in horror.
"Shut up!" The old man glared at his granddaughter solemnly, Panpan may be the first time to see his grandfather angry. Immediately frightened to speak.
"I take hope as a disciple!" Nie Lingfeng continued: "However, I want to keep her in Hong Kong. You will take care of her until she meets my requirements or you will take her away after ...... hundred years, what do you say? ”
"Really?" The old man suddenly stood up happily, hurriedly pressed his granddaughter's little head and said, "Panpan, kowtow to the master quickly!" ”
"Master......" Panpan was frightened by his grandfather's surprise movements, and screamed tremblingly. Then she burst into tears.
"Sir, please wait a moment!" The old man ignored his crying granddaughter, and hurried into the house.
After a while, the old man walked out with a wooden box in his hand, "Sir, this is a thing left by the ancestors at the same time. Even if he was about to starve to death, our Gu family's main lineage did not dare to sell it for money! You see......? ”
When Nie Lingfeng heard this, he took the box suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, "Jade tube? It's a jade tube again? ”
"There are two such jade tubes, and at the beginning, my ancestors had two brothers, and each took one away! This one has been passed down all the way from our main lineage, and the ancestor said that this jade cylinder should be handed over to someone who can recognize the stone pillar! The old man explained.
"Oh!" Nie Lingfeng immediately threw his divine sense into the jade tube, and after reading the jade tube, he couldn't help but understand it thoroughly.
"Was the old gentleman's home around the current Jinling City before?" Nie Lingfeng asked.
"That's right!" The old man was surprised: "When our ancestors were up, Jinling City was called Tiandu!" We live at the foot of Tiandu Mountain! ”
"I see!" Nie Lingfeng finally realized that the parchment roll that Li Qingzhu got turned out to be from the Gu family! And the dead little monk in the Qi refining period was also the ancestor of the Gu family, but the old ancestor of the Gu family did not say which planet he was from.
After seeing the jade tube, everything is clear, the ancestor of the Gu family was chased and killed and fled to the earth because he inadvertently "picked up" a high-ranking monk's storage bag, after coming to the earth, he relied on his "outstanding" ability, married a local famous woman, and then began to practice behind closed doors, but the lack of aura on the earth, coupled with his own talent and really "miserable" so, he was not promoted to the foundation building period until he died, in order for his descendants to have the opportunity to cultivate, he left two jade tubes and a pillar.
A jade cylinder is the jade cylinder of this record, mainly to say: I have a cave on Tiandu Mountain, if the visitor agrees to accept his descendants as apprentices, then, you can follow the map in the jade tube to find the cave, you can get the top wind nine dance exercises and your own immortal cultivation method. Moreover, you can also take out a heaven-level pill "Pei Ying Dan" from the pillar according to the formation breaking method in the jade cylinder, and of course, if you want to get the "Pei Ying Dan", the monk's cultivation must reach the Yuan Infant Stage before you can do it. Nie Lingfeng had also heard of this "Pei Ying Dan", but he had never seen it, it was a high-grade pill that only a Yuan Infant Stage monk could take, and I heard that taking this "Pei Ying Dan" was likely to raise the monk's cultivation to a higher level! And it also has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, this is a valuable treasure in the immortal cultivation world!
In addition, the ancestor of the Gu family told about the role of another jade cylinder, which was a starry sky map that specifically recorded the location of each immortal cultivation planet. Speaking of the starry sky map, Nie Lingfeng is not a stranger, overall. The starry sky map is the location map of each planet in the universe, with this treasure, once you reach the tribulation period, you can tear the starry sky according to the direction, and travel to other planets at will, and. As a signpost, it can also guide the direction of the Void Shuttle in the Void, and its value is greater than that of the "Pei Ying Dan".
"Another jade tube?" Thinking of this, Nie Lingfeng hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and explained that he would definitely come to visit tomorrow.
The old man couldn't keep Nie Lingfeng, so he had to hope that he wouldn't miss the appointment.
Nie Lingfeng hurriedly came to the auction hall, and at this time, more than half of the auction of items had passed. There are only a few things left!
Nie Lingfeng hurriedly found Xie Jiashan, "Big brother, have you bought the jade tube?" ”
"Hmm!" Xie Jiashan nodded, his face was a little unsightly, and then he whispered: "There is a guy who followed and mixed up, and this time it cost six million!" ”
"Six million? Hehe, little meaning! Nie Lingfeng smiled.
"Still?" Xie Jiashan reluctantly said: "Last time, it was unsuccessful, otherwise." Two million will be taken down! ”
"It's okay, this thing is 600 million, and I want to get it!" Nie Lingfeng smiled. Then he said, "What about the jade tube?" ”
"After the auction is over, when the transfer is completed, you can get it!" Xie Jiashan smiled, and then said happily: "My three items are also sky-high!" Hehe, this foreigner is rich! ”
"Really? If I had known that I would have taken out something more to roll away their bills! Nie Lingfeng said.
"Huh! ......" The two laughed, and the auction of the pictures was over. This is followed by the auction time for other items.
At the beginning, the items were either antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or bronze and jade, and there was nothing to look at. Fortunately, the auction hall was very long because of the bidding time. So, with a sumptuous meal arranged, you can sit on a chair and eat and drink while participating in the auction, which is quite unique.
Nie Lingfeng and Xie Jiashan watched while eating, and finally, the Indian bronze dancing girl sculpture that Nie Lingfeng originally took out appeared.
As soon as this item was exhibited, it immediately caused a sensation in the audience, with a reserve price of 10 million, but the first person shouted 100 million.
After a slight pause, he was shouted to 300 million.
At this moment, even some drunken drunkards stood up and looked at the bronzes on the table in amazement.
After several rounds of fierce bidding, this bronze sculpture of a dancing girl was auctioned for the highest price of 460 million. Moreover, this is still in dollars.
Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be happy for his wisdom, and in this way, his waist bag was much thicker.
Next, Nie Lingfeng's four auction items were all sold at high prices, the Indian Shakyamuni Jade Buddha statue was sold for a sky-high price of 660 million, even the not very valuable Russian gold wine pot was sold for 80 million, and the Chinese court vase was bought for 110 million, in total, Nie Lingfeng threw away the auction fee, and the net increase on the book was more than 1.2 billion US dollars.
Xie Jiashan was stunned, he knew that these things were valuable, but he didn't expect them to be so valuable! From this point of view, compared with his second brother, his net worth is simply a drop in the middle!
Just when Nie Lingfeng looked bored and eager to see the contents of the jade tube, the host's excited shout rang out again: "The one participating in the auction below is a mysterious ore!" This ore is said to be an extraterrestrial meteorite, and no one knows its origin and purpose, even the temperature of refining steel cannot shake it in the slightest...... Starting bid: 10 million! ”
"Fifteen thousand...... 2,000 ...... Three thousand ......"
Nie Lingfeng watched and whispered to Xie Jiashan: "You report 50 million!" Since Nie Lingfeng needs to borrow the bidding seat of the New Jiacheng Auction House, he can only ask Xie Jiashan for help.
"You want this unknown?" Xie Jiashan was shocked when he heard this.
"Hmmm! Make a quote now! Nie Lingfeng nodded.
"Good!" Xie Jiashan saw that Nie Lingfeng was not impulsive, so he held up the sign, "Fifty million!" ”
"Good!" The host immediately shouted excitedly, "Eighty-three bids 50 million!" …… 50,000,000,000 ......"
"Sixty million!" Suddenly, a man cried out.
"It's him, grab the jade tube with me!" Xie Jiashan whispered.
"Oh?" Nie Lingfeng glanced at the other party with his divine sense, and found that the other party turned out to be a foreigner, and his appearance was still a little familiar, suddenly. He remembered that when he saw this foreigner with a high nose bridge in the jade trading market in Myanmar, it seemed that he was the foreigner who asked his superiors on the phone, and then quoted 400 million yuan, and gave him 20,000 Chinese dollars, equivalent to millions of Chinese dollars, euros, he seemed to be some kind of British Royal Jewelry Company.
"One hundred million!" Nie Lingfeng continued.
"One hundred million!" Xie Jiashan immediately raised his card again.
"130 million!" Nie Lingfeng obviously saw the foreigner wiping the sweat from his forehead. That's what he said.
"150 million!" Xie Jiashan shouted again according to Nie Lingfeng's prompt.
"Hey, boss, someone has made a bid of 150 million! …… Be! …… Be! Nie Lingfeng saw that the foreigner sighed and deducted the phone, and then he was relieved.
In this way, this piece of ore has become Nie Lingfeng's bag again. Such ore nie lingfeng already has four pieces, the first three are red, blue, and yellow, and this one is actually black, but. At a glance, you can see that these are all ores with the same attributes!
Seeing that the foreigner had snapped two things with him, Nie Lingfeng was very strange, so he dismissed the idea of leaving immediately and stayed at the scene with peace of mind for the time being.
In just ten minutes, three more items were auctioned off, which shows that the efficiency of the Hong Kong auction house is still very high.
"This is a mysterious treasure map from Huaxia!" The host's seductive voice came again.
Hearing this news, Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly looked towards the big screen in front of him. I saw that a picture appeared completely in front of me. "Huh?" Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the picture, it turned out to be exactly the same as his own treasure map! It is also a treasure map composed of five pictures, and three of the locations have been found by themselves, and two places have not been found. Treasures in two other places, one of which has been discovered by someone else! What kind of treasure is hidden in this place?
Nie Lingfeng was immediately attracted by the treasure map, although he didn't want this treasure map that was exactly the same as himself, but he was very eager to know where this treasure map was found!
Right now. The host took back the treasure map, and then continued: "This treasure map is something that the seller found by accident, and there is also a jade box in it, if anyone wants this jade box and treasure map, then, please bid!" The starting price is 100 million! ”
"100 million?"
"That's the highest starting price of the day! ......" Everyone immediately burst into speech, but no one bid casually, first, everyone didn't know what the jade box was used for, second, everyone saw the treasure map, and even, some people secretly took pictures of the treasure map with mobile phones and other tools, even if you get it, it may not be useful.
"One hundred million!" Nie Lingfeng pushed Xie Jiashan and said.
"One hundred million! ......" Xie Jiashan reluctantly raised the sign.
"100 million once, 100 million twice, 100 million 3 times! Deal! The auctioneer ended the auction with a huff.
But at this time, Nie Lingfeng suddenly found that there were many people looking towards his position, and he couldn't help but be slightly frightened, could it be that there was something wrong with this? It shouldn't be!
"Let's go!" Nie Lingfeng saw that the auction was still going on, so he pushed Xie Jiashan.
"Hmm!" Xie Jiashan also seemed to feel something, so he happily got up and followed Nie Lingfeng towards the backstage.
The two quickly settled all the items and the auction deposit, and immediately walked out of the auction hall.
Look at the time, it is already late at night, after Nie Lingfeng returned to the hotel, he immediately closed the door and took out the jade tube, and put his divine sense, sure enough, this is another jade tube of the Gu family, and inside is a treasure that is unparalleled in the world: the starry sky map!
The usefulness of this starry sky map is of no use to others, but for the formation master, it is an icon of a teleportation array! As long as you can arrange a powerful starry sky teleportation array, then you can shuttle between the planets at will according to the location of each starry sky marked on the starry sky map!
Nie Lingfeng imprinted the starry sky map deeply in his mind, and this starry sky map actually contained the starry sky environment around the Hades Continent and the Earth, and even the location of the Storm Continent in it. In this way, once Nie Lingfeng's cultivation reached the Jindan stage or above, and the formation cultivation reached the grandmaster level or above, he would be able to arrange the teleportation array and leave the earth at will!
However, Nie Lingfeng was now too far away from the goal of the Formation Grandmaster, so he could only put away the starry sky map now, at this time, even if he knew the location of the Hades Continent, it would be useless, it was better to cultivate to the Jindan stage with peace of mind.
Immediately after, he took out the treasure map and the jade box.
There was indeed a formation spell on the jade box, which was obviously one of the five treasure maps left by Wei Guoming, a monk from the Storm Continent! However, this jade box was empty, there was nothing, Nie Lingfeng couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed, maybe the person who got the jade box only thought that this jade box was valuable, and ignored the good things in the jade box or nearby!
"Alas!" Nie Lingfeng sighed deeply, he didn't care about the 100 million dollars, but a little pity for the treasure left by Wei Guoming. Judging from the previous discoveries, Wei Guoming is definitely a master of alchemy, and the medicinal materials left behind are all earth-shattering treasures, which are fatal temptations ~ bewilderment for monks!
Indeed, if Nie Lingfeng hadn't gotten the first Divine Water Grass in Qishan, then he might only be able to live like an ordinary person in his life, and if he hadn't gotten the Spirit Grass that Wei Guoming had buried later, Nie Lingfeng would not have been able to rapidly advance to the middle grade of the foundation building period now. (To be continued......)
