Chapter 35: Strange Slates
Huo Long frowned slightly.
He has always been disgusted with tomb robbing. Digging the ancestral grave damages yin morality, Jin Daya's friend wants to make a fortune by robbing the tomb, and he actually finds a reason to uphold justice, which is really funny.
However, the other party said that the rise was introducing the origin of the embroidered shoes, so there was no need to interrupt him.
"After the thing got into my hands, I watched it again and again, and I couldn't understand it."
Jin Daya shook his head again and again,
"The embroidered shoes are made of aventurine stone, and the workmanship and style of the embroidered shoes come from the ancient tradition of hot summer. What's even more strange is that this embroidered shoe actually appeared in the United States, and only such a one was found in the ancient tomb..."
"Coupled with the cries of a woman in the middle of the night, I concluded that this embroidered shoe was extraordinary, and that it must have a great origin. I have a strong feeling that there may be a tactful and bizarre story behind these embroidered shoes. In any case, the embroidered shoes are yin, and they already have spirituality..."
After returning to the Furama Hotel, Tong Xiaowu reported to Huo Long, "Brother Long, I have been investigating the whereabouts of my sister Huo Mei and Uncle Xi Fangping in the past few days. Although there are no eyebrows yet, through interviews with people who were familiar with Uncle Xi before, it is learned that Uncle Xi has no overseas relations, and it is speculated that Uncle Xi should not have left Beihai. ”
"Sister Huo Mei has been following Uncle Xi, so she should also be in Beihai."
Huo Long's spirit was shocked. His eyes suddenly lit up, "We must go all out to find out their whereabouts as soon as possible." ”
The first thing he did after returning to Beihai was to ask Tong Xiaowu to inquire about the whereabouts of Huo Mei and Xi Fangping. For several days, he had been anxious and worried about this.
And, the news brought by Tong Xiaowu is exciting.
The world is so big, looking for my sister and Uncle Xi is like looking for a needle in a haystack. If they were in the North Sea, the search would have been greatly narrowed.
Of course, Beihai is a well-known metropolis in the hot summer, and it is not easy to find two people in Nuoda. However, using the Huo family's old relationship before Beihai, plus Tong Xiaowu's own relationship, and looking carefully, there should be news.
"Brother Long, you rest early. I went first. Tong Xiaowu said hello and drove away.
After the international mercenary organization learned that Huo Long had returned to Beihai with Tong Xiaowu, he had specially called him and asked if he needed help. Huo Long refused.
This time I went back to Beihai, one is to take revenge, and the other is to find my sister and Uncle Xi. Both things are family affairs, and it is enough to have Tong Xiaowu as a helper, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to the mercenary organization.
However, the person in charge of the international mercenary organization felt that Huo Long, as the former boss of the mercenary organization, should return to Beihai to find relatives and reunite with relatives.
However, he had already called Huo Long and was refused, so he didn't dare to bother anymore. So, the person in charge of the international mercenary organization secretly called Tong Xiaowu and secretly sent five members to Beihai by plane.
Tong Xiaowu said hello and hurried away, just to pick up the five members of the organization at the airport.
Huo Long didn't ask much. Tong Xiaowuyi has always come and gone like the wind, this is the other party's style.
Back in his room at the Furama Hotel, Huo Long took out the tightly wrapped "Beihai Historical Records" in a brown paper bag and the jade embroidered shoes packed in a wooden box, and carefully placed them on the writing desk.
These two things are very important to him.
Of course, this is Huo Long's sixth sense. And his sixth sense has always worked.
I have seen the embroidered shoes carved in jade at the auction site, and the only thing I don't understand is that Jin Daya said that she occasionally heard a woman's miserable cry in the middle of the night.
There should be a great deal of secrecy in this.
Perhaps, as Jin Daya said, there is a tactful and bizarre story behind it.
Huo Long put the wooden box away.
Then, open the kraft paper bag. However, to his surprise, it was not a book, but a rectangular stone slab.
The original version of "Beihai Historical Chronicles" turned out to be a slate?
Huo Long picked up the stone slab with both hands and observed it carefully.
It is a dark gray stone slab, about 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide, and the size and thickness are the same as those of a book. On the surface of the slate, there are cyan stripes, and in the lines, there is an oval object with a three-dimensional shape, like a UFO.
Next to the oval object, there is a humanoid head, which, when viewed closely, appears to be a baby, short in stature, with a large head and a narrow, pointed chin.
The baby was apparently a freak, with a small, thread-like mouth, almost a slit, and no lips could be seen. The eyes, on the other hand, are large and bulging outward, with no eyeballs and no eyelids.
Looking at the image on the slate, Huo Long was puzzled.
The original version of "Beihai Historical Chronicles" left by Grandpa Miao is actually a stone slab, which is really strange.
What does this image on the slate represent?
What's the secret?
Huo Long's mind went back to ten years ago.
Every time I went to Miao Ruolan's house, after Grandpa Miao saw him, he would tell him historical knowledge with great interest, which had never appeared in textbooks. It was an old man with a deep knowledge of history.
According to the information available, in the original version of the "Beihai Historical Records", there is a record of a tsunami in the Beihai 500 years ago, and after the tsunami, a meteorite appeared in the Beihai.
When Huo Long went down the mountain, Master explained that no matter what, he would try to find the meteorite, and once there was news, he would tell Master immediately.
Perhaps, Grandpa Miao, who is well versed in history, knows the whereabouts of the meteorite, and maybe he has dealt with that meteorite. Grandpa Miao knew that the person who was looking for the original version of "Beihai Historical Records" came for the meteorite.
This slate may be inextricably linked with the meteorite, Grandpa Miao sealed the slate and asked Miao Ruolan to hand it over to the person who inquired about the original version of "Beihai Historical Chronicles", but in fact, he handed over the slate to someone who was destined.
"Among them, there must be a source." Huo Long muttered to himself.
If you want to know more secrets, you must know more about Grandpa Miao. It is necessary to know where Grandpa Miao went before his death, and the cause of Grandpa Miao's death....
Only when I see Miao Ruolan again, I will ask what is going on.
…………
In the office of the chairman of the Xia Group.
"What did you say?" Xia Jiahou's eyes widened in surprise, "The Huo family's courtyard was bought by that black-clothed boy?" ”
"Yes."
Xiahou Shan sat on the sofa dejectedly, his expression was depressed, and he completely lost his usual self-satisfaction and calmness.
"The starting price is 20 million, and after I added 5 million, no one competed with me, after all, I said hello in advance, and my peers would not lose face. I thought it was stable, but who knew that bastard boy jumped out halfway to cut off his beard and shouted 40 million, and when I raised it to 50 million, he directly doubled and shouted 100 million..."
Xiahou Shan took a breath, "That kid is too crazy, the impact of this auction held by Jinbang Auction House in the Emperor Mansion is too great, although 100 million is too much beyond our plan, but, I don't think our Xia family can lose to this bastard." So, I gritted my teeth and raised it to 150 million, which is already the limit, I don't believe that kid will dare to play..."
"But, I never expected that kid would directly double 100 million and call out 300 million!" Xiahou Shan shook his head weakly like a lost dog, "300 million, a courtyard, carried to 300 million, this kid is simply a mad dog." ”
"Can you ask the auction house's treasurer to check that kid's books?" Xia Jiahou's face turned pale, "If you don't have the strength and insist on messing around, the consequences you need to bear, even if this kid doesn't die, it's almost the same." ”
"Checked."
Xiahou Shan's expression was gloomy, "That kid has an overdraft card issued by the headquarters of an international bank, which can be used all over the world, and he can overdraft $1 billion in any bank." ”
"Huh!?"
Xia Jiahou was shocked on the spot.
There are no more than 50 overdraft cards issued by the headquarters of international banks around the world, and there are only one or two people in Beihai City who have this card, and they are still an ancient family with a history of more than 100 years and strong financial strength.
"You... What do you think about this? ”
Xia Jiahou felt an inexplicable panic. He suddenly felt black in front of his eyes and was dizzy.
In the past two years, Xia Jiahou, who was only in his fifties, suddenly felt that his physical strength and energy were not as good as before.
originally planned to wait for the end of the engagement banquet between his son Xia Shuaishuai and Huang Jiani, and then hand over the management of all the companies under the Xia family to his son and prospective daughter-in-law. Who knows, the engagement banquet was disrupted, and the son was seriously injured.
And, this time the auction of the Huo family's courtyard was originally confident, but I didn't expect it to be stirred up again.
It's still this bastard.
"Obviously, the other party is prepared."
Xia Houshan gritted his teeth and calmly analyzed, "This person is a master sent by the Xia family's enemies, and he specializes in opposing our Xia family, there is no doubt about this." ”
"The enemy..."
Xia Jiahou fell silent.
Since using illegal means to participate in the carve-up of the Huo family's company, the Xia Group has grown all of a sudden, and after careful operation and operation, it has gradually become one of the emerging giants in Beihai.
It's normal to arouse jealousy and offend other groups, but I don't know which side I offended.
"Didn't the Three Commandments go to the auction site with you? He didn't help you when it mattered? ”
Xia Jiahou suddenly remembered that his brother Xia Hou had always been thoughtful in his work, and before going to the Emperor Mansion to participate in the auction, he specifically asked him for the three precepts. In case someone makes a mess during the auction, Sanjie can use spells to control the other party.
