Chapter 8: Natural Plague Insects
Wang Dong and I tacitly agreed that we would call it a day and leave.
When we left the manor, Su Lintian called all the subordinates to congratulate us, and the pomp was very great.
Of course, he also gave 200 million without hesitation.
It can be said that the farewell ceremony is heavier than the weddings of many local tyrants.
Before I got in the car, I gave Su Lintian a reassurance: "King of Fujian, don't worry, the Gu disaster has been eliminated, otherwise there will be no birds and mosquitoes in your manor!" ”
"Thank you Master Li, I can finally rest assured!" Su Lintian laughed heartily and watched me leave.
I got in the car, Wang Dong drove away, and only after walking far away did he ask: "Brother Li, do you want to lead the snake out of the hole?" ”
"Well, I asked Su Lintian to find out which of his old rivals became rich, and we will do it after finding out." I nodded, "As for now, we have 200 million, take 10 million to gamble on stones, and squander it!" ”
Wang Dong was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was puzzled: "Brother Li, you don't look like a wasteful person, you really want to squander 10 million?" ”
"Of course, splurge as much as you want, so that your opponent can convince us that we have put the Gu curse behind us."
"Okay, gamble on the stones, I don't believe that luck is so bad every time!" Wang Dong rubbed his hands and turned into a gambler.
For the next few days, we stayed at the Gambling Stone Market, the largest white jade gambling stone market in Emerald City.
The scale of the white jade gambling stone market is close to the jade gambling stone market in Guangfu, but it is still relatively chaotic, and the folk customs are also fierce, and there are often fights.
However, this also attracts many gamblers who fantasize about getting rich overnight, most of them are middle-class people with a little money, and they fantasize about cutting a piece of high-quality jade.
Of course, the big money here is still the local tyrants in western Fujian, and you can often see some people with bodyguards here.
Wang Dong and I are inconspicuous, but we have a lot of money, and a bet is millions, so many people follow us to watch.
"His grandmother's, it's rotten rocks again!" I don't know how many pieces were cut, Wang Dong scolded and became angry.
The people around him gloated and smiled.
Gambling stones are like this, one person is happy to cut good goods, and a bunch of people are happy to cut bad goods.
"Boss, one more piece!" Wang Dong refused to admit defeat and pointed to a rough stone with a grinding plate.
This rough stone is estimated to have been placed for a long time, and it is covered with dust, and it looks extremely ordinary from the outside, just like the stones on the construction site.
"Young man, this stone has been placed for three months, I don't know how many connoisseurs have seen it, and no one has bought it, so you better not buy it." In the crowd, an old man with a cigarette holder said.
"Go, go, I want you to talk more!" The boss wearing a straw hat scolded, and then nodded to Wang Dong: "This boss, this rough stone is so big, it has to be hundreds of catties, and I will sell it for one million." ”
"Yo!" A bunch of locals made strange noises, knowing that the boss was going to rip off customers.
Wang Dong is not a fool, so he didn't want it immediately, and chose another stone.
The boss scolded secretly and helped recommend other stones.
I stared at the big dusty stone for a long time, and when Wang Dong selected another rough stone that looked good, I exclaimed, "Just this one, cut it and take a look." ”
"Huh?" The bosses and the crowd were dumbfounded.
Wang Dong was anxious: "Brother Li, this broken stone is pitting outsiders here, who will buy one million?" ”
"500,000, no, 200,000 is sold, does the little brother cut it?" The boss quickly jumped over and smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming.
I smiled: "Twenty thousand, cut." ”
"Twenty thousand? You're not kidding. ”
"To cut or not to cut? Don't cut us to go somewhere else. ”
"Hey, the people in our Emerald City are hospitable and friendly to the foreign townspeople, see if you are the first time to come, it will be 20,000." The straw hat boss made a big face and called the guy to sharpen the knife and cut it.
He estimated that he was happy in his heart, and he had already made a lot of money by breaking 20,000 stones.
Wang Dong was a little distressed, but if I wanted to cut it, he wouldn't be sorry for me.
Soon, the first knife went down, cut from the middle, the big stone was split in two, we could all see through, the inside was still the original stone, there was no change.
The crowd erupted in laughter, and everyone was happy again.
"Hey, don't laugh, this stone is so big, maybe there are still goods." The straw hat boss snorted and asked me, "Little brother, which half should you cut again?" ”
I pointed to the right half: "Cut." ”
The guy went down again, and there was still nothing.
Without waiting for the boss to ask, I pointed to another piece: "Cut." ”
The guy went down with the third knife.
At this time, the big stone had turned into a small stone, only the size of a washbasin, and there was still nothing.
The crowd was so happy that they felt that our 20,000 yuan had been wasted.
"Little brother, do you want to continue cutting?" The Straw Hat boss asked again.
I stepped forward, touched the stone the size of a basin, and then made a false mark on it with my fingers: "Don't cut it in half, cut it from here, so as not to spoil my jade." ”
The guy scoffed and cut as I asked.
With this knife, a colorful light suddenly appeared, and the jade refracted the sunlight, showing its color.
"Holy!" The onlookers erupted in shock, the straw hat boss glared, leaned over to look, and his lips trembled: ", beautiful goods, beautiful goods!" ”
Wang Dong jumped three feet high: "Brother Li, forever dripping gods!" ”
I smiled slightly, in fact, this is not a god, just a small feng shui technique.
The principle is to sense the breath of the five elements, the original stone belongs to the earth, and the heavier the earth, the less jade there is.
Jade is golden, so the heavier the gold, the more likely it is to have treasures.
This big stone is extremely golden, and when I feel the gold, I can guess that eight or nine are not far from ten.
Of course, gambling on stones with feng shui secret techniques is breaking the rules of the Li family. The reason why I did this was because I also sensed the fire attribute, the fire attribute of a certain creature.
I thought of amber, amber insects, insects of fire.
I expected that there was jade in this rough stone, and there were insects in the jade, similar to the state of amber. It just so happened that I wanted to deal with Gu worms, so I thought about jade worms, and jade worms are a sharp weapon for dealing with Gu worms.
"Keep cutting, be careful not to break it." Ignoring the crowd's exclamations, I let the guy keep cutting.
But he didn't dare to cut it, for fear of breaking it, after all, this was the best jade, and he couldn't afford to pay for it.
The straw hat boss was heartbroken and went to find the veterans in the market, a total of three people, to help me cut jade.
It took more than an hour for the jade to finally be cut in its entirety, and there were hundreds of onlookers.
Some connoisseurs exclaimed as soon as they saw the jade: "The tree turns into jade, and the jade has insects!" ”
Tree jade is an extremely special jade, mainly produced in Myanmar. The process of its birth is also extremely complex and long-lasting, to put it simply, hundreds of millions of years ago, the trees were buried deep in the ground, the carbon in the trees was replaced by silica, and the main components were gradually transformed into opal and chalcedony.
The ornamental value and research value of the tree jade are extremely high, and it is one of the national treasures of Myanmar.
And if there are insects in the tree jade, the value is even higher!
"Oh my mother, the tree turns into a worm jade...... This piece has to weigh seven or eight catties, and the auction price is at least 100 million! The onlookers lost their temper and began to appraise.
And one by one local tyrants also popped up, wanting to buy my worm jade.
Wang Dong was moved, but I wasn't moved, what I wanted was not money, but this jade worm.
"Wrap up, let's go." I said in a deep voice, this place is not suitable for a long time, the eyes of the people around me are green.
Wang Dong is also clever, wrapped the worm jade, and pretended to make a call: "Brother Long, buddy has good goods, prepare a little 500 million, you must like it!" ”
As soon as this call was made, the greedy eyes of some people retracted.
Wang Dong and I left quickly, leaving behind a bunch of envious and jealous people.
After walking away, Wang Dong breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Li, we are developed, what kind of insect jade is a top-level treasure at first glance!" ”
"It's developed, and with it, I'm sure of dealing with the Golden Silkworm Gu." I opened the worm jade and looked at it carefully.
The insect jade is trunk-shaped, colorful, about ten centimeters thick, and there are three ancient insects that cannot be named in it, which are similar to the caterpillars, but the color is darker, and the flowers are green.
Unlucky, they may have made nests and slept in tree trunks, but a cataclysm occurred, and after hundreds of millions of years, they finally saw the light of day after hundreds of millions of years.
This insect is called a natural disaster insect by feng shui masters, and it is the heaviest insect with fire attributes, even surpassing the ordinary sacred bird Suzaku.
And the qi of hundreds of millions of years of earth and gold is gathered in the body, the main defense of the earth, and the main attack of gold, so the natural disaster insect has both attack and defense, it is the only insect that can deal with the golden silkworm Gu!
I told Wang Dong about this, and he was stunned, and finally sighed: "Brother Li is awesome, natural disasters and insects are awesome!" ”
I smiled: "Go back to the hotel, I want to refine the Cataclysmic Worm, even if the Golden Silkworm Gu comes, I can touch it." ”
