Chapter 35 - Xu Tian's reasoning
Li Kun and we were indeed shocked. Originally, we thought it would be less than 100,000 at most, but after Xu Tian finished speaking, it was tens of thousands more than we expected, including the surgery fee for Mr. Li.
Of the 70,000 yuan, we can still have 50,000 to 60,000 yuan left!
Li Kun and we both looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. We never expected that such a small thing could be of such high value.
Li Kun swallowed his saliva at this time, and suddenly thought of something, and said quickly: "Lao Xu, this whisk from the Song Dynasty, with a white ponytail, is very well preserved and is just like new. How much is it worth?"
Xu Tian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said: "The whisk from the Song Dynasty? Hey, it's a ponytail one. Do you still remember what the handle looks like?"
Li Kun thought for a while and said: "The handle is relatively hard, it doesn't seem to be made of wood, and it is relatively black. It should be made of some metal or something."
Xu Tian raised his hand and held his chin in thought for a moment, then clenched his right hand and Cheng Quan patted his left hand and said, "That should be a golden-handled whisk."
I asked in confusion: "Gold handle whisk? What is that?"
Xu Tian said slowly: "If I guess correctly, the big tomb you two descended into should be the tomb of a Taoist priest from the Song Dynasty."
Li Kun glanced at me and asked, "Can you guess this?"
Xu Tian smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it's not a guess. It was the whisk you just mentioned that I knew was the tomb of a Taoist priest from the Song Dynasty. Moreover, this Taoist priest was not an orthodox Taoist priest, but a cultivator of evil ways.
.”
Li Kun and the two of us looked at Xu Tian with surprised faces. I thought to myself that this Xu Tian was really not that simple. I didn't expect that we could tell what kind of tomb we were in just from a few words.
Xu Tian knew he was right when he saw the surprised expressions on both of our faces, so he continued: "Golden handle whisk, as the name suggests, the reason why the handle of this whisk is black is because the handle is entirely made of gold.
The tail is made of the tail of a white horse."
"But the method of preserving the horsetail is not simple. It needs to be refined with several rare medicinal materials to maximize the toughness of the horsetail, so that it will not deteriorate for thousands of years."
"And I guess the reason why this Taoist priest practices evil is because he uses

This whisk, before the Song Dynasty, was indeed made of the tail of a white horse, and the handle was made of sandalwood."
"Later, many Taoist masters discovered that whisks made from white horsetails had the effect of attracting ghosts and evil spirits, so they replaced the tail parts of the whisks with various common materials, such as wool, linen, and fine torn cloth.
Things like branches and treetops.”
"The handle of the golden handle is something similar to driving ghosts, and this is the origin of the golden handle whisk."
Hearing this, Li Kun and the two of us secretly smacked our lips. This Xu Tian is indeed very powerful. Li Kun said jokingly: "Old Xu, if you don't become a detective, you will be underestimating your talents. This reasoning ability is outstanding."
Xu Tian scratched his head and said: "Actually, I saw these in the books collected by my grandfather. My grandfather liked to collect these weird books, and I liked reading books more when I was a child."
I said to Xu Tian: "Lao Xu, does your old man like to collect this type of ancient books?"
Xu Tian nodded and said: "Yes, our old man collected the most secrets of Feng Shui, but most of them have been lost, and they are all fragments."
I nodded and said, "It seems that your old man is indeed very knowledgeable in this field."
Xu Tian nodded, and then said: "Okay, let's return to the main story."
With that said, Xu Tian picked up the jade plaque on the coffee table and said to Li Kun and us: "This piece of jade is probably at this price. If you two are satisfied, I will give you 100,000 first and wait for the rest."
I'll give it to you after it's sold, and the money will be considered a deposit."
Li Kun's face lit up and he said, "That's okay. We are in urgent need of money right now."
Speaking of this, Li Kun said with some embarrassment: "Well, Lao Liu, we encountered something when we went to the tomb. All the bullets and everything were used up, but don't worry, the gun is still intact."
Xu Tian waved his hands carelessly and said: "Hey, this little thing is nothing, so let's do it for now. If you two want to cooperate next time, just give me a call. If you need anything, just call me.
I said."
Speaking of this, Li Kun said: "Lao Xu, that explosive of yours is too powerful. Next time, remember to use a smaller one and a more powerful one."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, and then mark the whole thing.”
Xu Tian said doubtfully: "What do you mean by low power?"
"The less powerful one can only blow up a wall, and the more powerful one can blow up the tomb passage."
Xu Tian made a long sound, and then said: "It seems that you two did encounter a lot of trouble in the tomb."
I also stood up at this time and said to Xu Tian: "Indeed, the power of that explosive was too great. If I hadn't run in time, I would have almost died. Moreover, in case of any emergency, the fuse needs to be cut off.
In this case, it is easy to be accidentally injured when escaping."
Xu Tian nodded to indicate that he understood, and said, "Okay, I'll write this down."
After saying that, Xu Tian walked towards the round table at the back. Behind the round table was a safe. Xu Tian opened the safe and took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills.
Xu Tian came over with the money, then put the money on the table and said: "These total one hundred thousand, please count them."
I shook my head and said, "No need to click, we still believe you on this point."
Xu Tian smiled slightly and said: "Okay, it's almost noon now, why don't you two finish your lunch here before leaving."
I said, "There's no need to eat. We have something urgent to do. We need to go there first and wait for the next time we host something."
Xu Tian laughed and said: "Okay, then our green mountains will not change and our green waters will flow forever. We will see you in the future."
After saying that, Xu Tian bowed his hands to Li Kun and us. Li Kun and we knew the rules in the world at this time, so we also bowed our hands to Xu Tian and said, "See you later." After saying that, Li Kun and we turned around and left.
Leave the building.
After we came outside, I said to Li Kun: "Okay, now let's go to the hospital to pay the surgery fee first, and then we two brothers will go eat and drink."
Li Kun was also excited and said: "Haha, it feels so damn good to be rich."
Seeing Li Kun so excited, I felt very happy. I patted Li Kun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go there first."
Li Kun nodded, and the two of us took a taxi and went straight to the Second Hospital.
