Chapter 008 - Professional Ethics (II)
Guan Xiao's golden eyes were completely fixed on the jade: "At that time, the more popular way to become an immortal was divided into three types, one was alchemy, the other was to go overseas to find the immortal fruit that was born in heaven, Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to do this, and the third was to refine qi. And this jade, according to research, is likely to be the pioneering work of Chinese alchemists, warlocks, Taoist priests and other qi refiners. ”
When the two brothers of the Luo family heard this, their two pairs of little eyes couldn't wait to stare out of their eyes!
Seeing the two brothers' actions, Guan Xiao smiled helplessly: "The two brothers will never be obsessed with cultivating immortals, right? But don't be like this, this is the originator of China's original obscenity." ”
"What...... Be...... Be...... Brother Guan Shige is right. Continue to ......" Guan Xiao asked a question, the third child of the Luo family began to nod, and then thought that it was wrong, and immediately shook his head again, and then it seemed that it was not appropriate, and he continued to nod, making so many movements in an instant, it was difficult for Luo Nan to patrol the little brother.
The original function of this artifact was to be used to put it on the head of the wooden staff, so it was also called the head of the cane, and there were a total of 45 words on it. Gas: swallow is accumulated, stored is extended, stretched is down, down is fixed, fixed is solid, solid is budding, sprout is long, long is complex, complex is heaven. The foundation of heaven is above, and the foundation of earth is below. If you go with it, you will live, and if you go against it, you will die. And the name of the inscription on this jade is the famous "Xingqi Ming". ”
What? Guan Xiao's words did not fall, and the mouths of the two brothers of the Luo family were open enough to put down the fists of the two people!
"This ...... Is this really the legendary "Xingqi Ming" jade?" Luo Laosan's hands trembled, but he didn't dare to touch this jade.
"This is the stuff of the two brothers, give it to you ......" Guan Xiao stretched out his hand to hand the little jade to Luo Laosan, unexpectedly, the second and third children of the Luo family jumped back two steps in a row, clinging to the wall, and waved their hands vigorously, thanks to Guan Xiao's big thief sect, otherwise, if one has to give one to hide, this jade will definitely fall to the ground.
What will happen if it is shattered? Will it be like what is written in the novel, a few elixirs that fall out of it and turn all over the room? Or is it simply the soul of an ancient immortal who has been waiting to be rescued for thousands of years? At this time, Guan Xiao has not been exposed to this kind of "feudal superstition" much, and he is usually busy with business and rarely reads similar books on the Internet, so he does not have these nonsense thoughts in his mind at all.
"No, no, we can't ask for it. Luo Gai was afraid that Guan Xiao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "This is the rule of our business, the corpse chaser earns the money to drive the corpse, and the work he usually receives is thousands of miles away, and most of the family members of the God of Wealth are not around, so our biggest rule is: never touch the property on the God of Wealth." Taking a step back, even if we send the God of Wealth home and the family members don't want it, we can only cremate the God of Wealth on the spot, and no matter how much money we have, we can't take a penny. Pick up and drop off the God of Wealth, the earliest can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, if there are no strict rules, then ...... No one will ask us to go on the road. ”
Oh, Guan Xiao was in awe. In fact, there are such rules in the thief sect, and as a disciple of the Southern Thief, you must abide by such rules, but Guan Xiao didn't expect that other industries also have such noble professional ethics.
"That'...... How can you give me this thing?" Guan Xiao was a little puzzled again.
"Oh, this is normal, these two gods of wealth are dead, and the family doesn't know, even if they do, it is generally impossible to find the body in such a deep mine, and the money we give is enough for the mine owner to accompany them. So, this is the ownerless god of wealth. Their things can naturally be obtained by those who are destined. However, the ancestors also thought of this when they made the rules, so no matter who got this thing, no one in the corpse gate could benefit from it. ”
The more contact with the Luo brothers, the stronger Guan Xiao's curiosity became, for these two brothers, due to the scene of almost zero contact with death on the train, at first, Guan Xiao's impression was not good. Later, the master didn't know how to get in touch with them, and in Guan Xiao's eyes, the master was a super thief who had learned and befriended all the people, and the master and the Luo brothers should be almost a snake's tail. Now that he heard such strict rules for the corpse gate, Guan Xiao really attached importance to or respected the two brothers and the rivers and lakes represented by the two brothers.
"Hehe, two brothers, if you don't want it, this thing will be really cheap for me. I went back to find a buyer, if I sold it to China, it is estimated that there are 20 or 30 million yuan, and if I sell it abroad, it will have to be exchanged for dollars and euros. ”
"You...... You...... You...... Going to be sold?" Ronan was suspicious of his ears.
"Of course, doing our business, going to thousands of homes and thousands of households, is often misunderstood, for what? Isn't it just to make a fortune?" Guan Xiao looked at the third child of the Luo family very seriously, he wouldn't even understand this truth, right? Be a thief, no matter how elegant he is, he is also a thief after all, if he sees any good things and hides them himself, then ...... Is he still a good thief?
"But, brother, do you know that the head of the jade scepter of the Xingqi Ming is very important for the entire ...... What does it mean?" Luo Laosan was going crazy, and he couldn't wait to grab Guan Xiao's thin body and shake it for a while.
"What does it mean? Where is the money? If you have tens of millions of dollars, you can exchange them for US dollars and deposit them in large international banks such as UBS and ABN AMRO, so that you can earn more than 10 percent of your profits during droughts and floods a year, and you will no longer have to sleep at night to worry about your uncle knocking on the door. Guan Xiao's eyes flashed with infinitely small stars.
"But...... Didn't Uncle Shi say that your soul in your body is incomplete? If your cultivation can start with this Xingqi Ming, if you can find the secret of cultivation from this jade scepter, all your souls will be found, then we don't need to ask Grandma Geng Sanzu who dances the god anymore. After all, Luo Reform was old, so he immediately changed to a reason related to Guan Xiao to dissuade him.
"Hehe...... "The little stars in Guan Xiao's eyes fluttered outward: "For an illusory goal, delay your big business, do you think I will be so stupid?"
Born in New China and grew up under the red flag, Guan Xiao has always thought that the Luo brothers are pretending to be ghosts, and even deceived themselves, where would they believe their nonsense.
"That's right, that's right, this God of Wealth has "Xing Qi Ming" in his pocket, so there won't be anything good in the pocket of another God of Wealth. Guan Xiao had an idea in his mind and began to draw inferences.
The two brothers of the Luo family looked at each other again, and a wry smile appeared on their faces at the same time.
Note 1: Regarding the original text of the 45 characters of "Xingqi Ming", because the ancient artifact is a seal character, and the age is long, there is a phenomenon of mottling and falling off, therefore, there are multiple versions of the Xingqi inscription, and several of them are slightly different. The currently limited version is a version that cannot be considered from the perspective of qi refining and is considered to be closer to the rules of human qi.
