Chapter 52: The Strange Little Temple
The Guo family in Cool Breeze City can be regarded as a cultivation family with some strength, if this so-called nebula jade is useful to cultivators, then there is no reason for the Guo family to put it in the corner of the treasure room at will. And Xiang Yu also saw that this thing was a little beautiful at the time, so he took it casually, and since he took it out, he didn't think about taking it back.
The middle-aged man stabilized his mind, and said with a straight face: "This piece of nebula jade can't be eaten at all with my small pawnshop, if the son is in a hurry to use the money, then I can give you a part first, can you delay the rest for a while, I need time to make up the money!"
Xiang Yu frowned, picked up the Nebula Jade on the stone table, checked it in his hand, and said, "How much do you say this part is?"
Seeing Xiang Yu playing with this peerless treasure in his hands at will, this middle-aged man was very worried, afraid that Xiang Yu would accidentally drop the Nebula Jade on the ground, and if it was broken, he would be distressed to death!
He resisted the thought of snatching the gem from Xiang Yu's hand, stretched out three fingers and said, "Three hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"What about the other parts?"
"Nine million seven thousand taels!"
"Oh, you're saying it's worth ten million taels?"
"Well, if Childe thinks it's not suitable, it's still negotiable!" The middle-aged man was worried that Xiang Yu would suddenly change his hexagram inappropriately, and hurriedly said.
"No need, pay off the 300,000 taels first, and I will have time to get the rest of the rest!" Xiang Yu put the nebula jade on the stone table, waved his hand, and said.
"Does Childe want cash or silver tickets?" The middle-aged man was overjoyed, holding the nebula jade on the table in his hand, and asked Xiang Yu while observing carefully.
"Give me 1,000 taels of silver, and the rest will be made into a silver ticket, immediately, immediately!"
The middle-aged man reluctantly stuffed the nebula jade into his sleeve pocket, nodded, and turned around to grope on the stone wall of the secret room for a while.
It's actually a secret room, and this underground secret room is not safe, and there is even a floor!
The middle-aged man said with a little embarrassment: "It's still quite dangerous to do what we do, I'm afraid that someone will rob us, so this safety measure has to be done, don't be surprised, son!"
"What nonsense, hurry up and get the money, I still have something urgent!" Xiang Yu rolled his eyelids and said unceremoniously.
This middle-aged man got the treasure, how could he be angry because of Xiang Yu's bad attitude, he nodded and bowed, and kept answering, pulling out a small iron box from the small secret room.
Xiang Yu looked sideways, and released his sensing power. Good fellow, this iron box is more than an inch thick, and there are nine copper locks on it! This makes him a little speechless, this pawnshop owner really cherishes his money!
The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly at Xiang Yu again, and then flipped east and west in this secret room, almost every corner was searched, and then a large number of keys appeared in his hand!
Xiang Yu was speechless again, a broken box, isn't it just filled with some money, can it be locked so tightly?
I saw that the middle-aged man unlocked the keys one by one, and finally opened the box. Gently lift the lid of the box, and a little golden light is reflected.
There was a layer of small gold bricks in this box, and the middle-aged man reached out and took out two pieces and handed them to Xiang Yu with a smile, saying, "Childe, look at it, this is a hundred alchemy real gold!"
Xiang Yu took the gold brick and checked it in his hand, in fact, he knew the real and fake at a glance, but he still had to make a show. "Well, that doesn't seem like that's enough, does it?"
"Childe, don't worry. Look!" the middle-aged man smiled and reached out to remove the gold bricks from the box.
Xiang Yu looked down, only to find that the gold bricks in the box were all silver tickets!
"This whole box is a total of 300,000 taels of silver, son, you can order it!"
"Don't order it, even give me the box!" Xiang Yu waved his hand, threw the gold brick in his hand into the box, buckled the lid of the box, and directly picked it up and put it on his shoulder!
This move frightened the pawnshop owner, talking about the box, to say the least, it would cost three or four hundred catties, plus the gold nuggets inside, it was definitely five hundred catties, this young man actually resisted his shoulders directly like playing, and he was very relaxed, could he ............
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shudder, the legendary kind of person actually appeared in front of him, and he still had that attitude at the beginning!
"That'...... That, this boy, since you want to take this box away, then this key and lock will be given to you!"
"Well, it's okay, I don't know how hard you wasted this box and that whole bunch of locks!" Xiang Yu nodded, pretending to be casual.
In fact, when the boss pulled out the box, he felt a little strange, because his induction power couldn't penetrate the box, even if it was cast by pig iron, even if it was more than an inch thick, it couldn't stop his induction!
And when the boss took out the keys, he felt that the nine keys gave him a strange feeling, so he opened his mouth to ask for the box first, and then waited for the boss to deliver the keys.
As expected, the boss immediately gave him the key and lock after seeing him carry the box with ease!
And now it's time to understand the origin of this box, ordinary people will never be able to make this kind of box!
"Childe misunderstood, this box is not made by anyone, this is what I found under the stone statue in the ancient temple in the north of the city more than ten years ago, and this key lock is all together!" Sure enough, the middle-aged man casually told the origin of the iron box.
"Oh, that's really lucky, I'm leaving, remember to catch up with the money, I'll come to pick it up after a while!" Xiang Yu also pretended to be casual in response.
With that, he waved his hand and walked out of the secret room with the iron box, and the middle-aged man nodded and followed behind.
When he arrived at the pawnshop, the middle-aged man just wanted to say something, suddenly there was a flower in front of him, followed by a squeak in the door, and then he found that the door he had closed was open, and the boy was gone, he rubbed his eyes, hurriedly ran to the door, looked around, and saw the figure of the young man!
His heart tightened, and he retreated into the house and touched his sleeve, and felt that something the size of an egg was still there, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
............
When Xiang Yu went out of the pawnshop, he quickly put the box into the innate bag, and only took out a stack of silver tickets.
On the other side of the street, I found Niu Shan and Ah Niu, then found a relatively quiet area, smashed out a stack of silver tickets, and directly bought a small house.
Ah Niu, who has a new home, runs around curiously, while Xiang Yu and Niu Shan sit in the front hall drinking tea.
"Uncle Niu, this is settled down, you take this money, you can buy whatever you want!"
Niu Shan hurriedly shook his head, Xiang Yu bought this house for their father and son, and now he gave so much money, he was really a little embarrassed. "I, Niu Shan, have inherited such a great kindness from you, how can I still take your money now!"
Xiang Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Niu, you forgot who I am, money is meaningless to me!"
"But ............" Niu Shan was a little difficult, he really didn't want to take Xiang Yu's money anymore.
"It's nothing, take it!" Xiang Yu couldn't help but stuff the silver ticket into Niu Shan's hand, and then said: "There is one more thing, it's time to find another mother for Ah Niu, hahahaha!"
With that, Xiang Yu laughed a few times and got up and walked out.
And Niu Shan was a little blushing by Xiang Yu's words, and he had some inexplicable feelings.
"I'll go out to do some errands, and I'll be back later!" Xiang Yu left this sentence and disappeared at the door.
............
In the north of the city, a dilapidated small temple, there is a young man standing at the entrance of the temple, and there is something complicated in the young man's eyes.
It was Xiang Yu who settled Niu Shan's father and son, and he immediately went to the broken temple where the pawnshop owner got the strange box to find out what else was here!
In fact, this was completely influenced by Su Qian's words, and Su Qian said at the time not to miss anything that didn't feel normal. That's why Xiang Yu wanted to try his luck here and see if there was anything remarkable!
Standing at the gate of the temple reminded him of his dark months, living in the same dilapidated house as Xiaotian, starving and freezing, and being bullied. For a while, a sad feeling came to his heart, making him a little stunned.
However, the current Xiang Yu is not as good as before, and he immediately came back to his senses, adjusted his feelings, and the light flashed in his eyes. As soon as the figure moved, the person arrived in the ruined temple.
No one has been here for a long time in this broken temple, there is a thick layer of dust on the ground, and the roof is full of cobwebs, Xiang Yu waved his hand, swept away all the obstacles in front of him, and then released his sensing force, carefully sensing what is strange in this broken temple.
The time for pouring incense passed, and Xiang Yu didn't notice anything, he frowned and walked around.
I walked to the front of the stone statue, stretched out my hand and touched it, and it was right to feel it, it was carved from ordinary stone, and it looked very old and dilapidated after the erosion of time!
However, Xiang Yu didn't see what this stone statue was, and there were no written records around, so I don't know what kind of person or god it carved!
Apart from this stone statue, there is hardly anything else in this temple that is slightly strange, just some tattered things, either wood or stone. There's nothing special about these things, it's just ordinary stone, ordinary wood.
Xiang Yu couldn't find any useful things or clues, but he didn't want to give up, so he swept out a clean place in the center of the temple, and then sat down cross-legged, anyway, it was getting dark, anyway, he had time, so he just sat here and waited for a while, while cultivating, while seeing what strange things happened!
Soon the sky darkened, and then darkness covered the earth, and the sun was completely gone, and tonight the sky was very gloomy, there was no moon or a star, and it was black like ink spreading, and it was very pure.
There was no light in the temple anymore, the broken wooden door was squeaked by the wind, and Xiang Yu had been sitting quietly for about an hour.
Time passed slowly, whether it was fast or not, whether it was slow or not, another hour passed, Xiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said to himself: "I haven't sat down and practiced quietly for a long time, it feels good!"
After saying this, he raised his head and looked at the stone statue without blinking, although there was no light now, but it was nothing to the cultivator.
After staring at the incense for a long time, Xiang Yu suddenly noticed that something seemed to flash in the eyes of the stone statue. When he looked intently, there was no trace of him.
But he was sure that he had never looked away just now, and that something had definitely flashed.
He looked at the eyes of the stone statue again, and insisted on pouring incense for about a while, and something flashed in the eyes of the stone statue!
But then he only vaguely saw a figure, and he didn't see what it was at all!
Xiang Yu was not discouraged when he found the pattern, and stared at the eyes of the stone statue again.
It was another time to pour incense, and when the shadow flashed again, he saw it clearly.
Except for surprise or surprise!
It's a little weird!
