Chapter Four: The Treasure in the Stone

You must know that ancient people did not write with pens, but with brushes. Writing small characters with brushes requires skill. But to write hundreds of characters in regular script on such thin silk, which is only half a foot square, is already extremely difficult. It's a high level. What's more, the densely packed small regular script, although crowded, is not cluttered. Each stroke is clearly distinguishable. You can clearly remember the horizontal and vertical strokes. Just think that this was written by ancients thousands of years ago. It was another celebrity's privacy that the world had never seen before. Everyone felt that their hearts were ups and downs and could not calm down for a long time.

Ning Ning said: "Although this picture of "Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" is a little smaller, it is definitely the original work of Tang Bohu. And the love letter behind it is a priceless calligraphy treasure. Now, how much do you think this painting is worth? Woolen cloth."

Mr. Zhang was stunned for a long time. Then he slowly stretched out three fingers. He was silent for a moment. Then he gritted his teeth and stretched out the fourth finger. He said in one word: "At least 40 million."

Rather nodded with satisfaction: "See you, Mr. Zhang. I think so too."

When the situation developed to this point, Xiao Kai's face turned pale. Even if there was a large piece of jade in his stone, I'm afraid it wouldn't be worth the sky-high price of 40 million anyway. He couldn't help but shake his head and sighed quietly. At this moment, he felt a warm little hand holding his hand. Xiaokai turned his head in surprise and saw Xiao Yun looking at him intently. She said in a deep voice: "You have to have confidence."

Xiaokai nodded. Suddenly he felt his confidence returned.

I would rather pack up "A Hundred Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix". I walked to Xiao Kai and said with a smile: "How about it."

Xiao Kai snorted and clenched his fists: "Not very good."

Rather laugh: "Okay. Now let's take a look at this stone."

The host of the auction house had already come to the hall. When he heard what Ning Ning said, he asked Xiaokai: "Mr. Yan, can it be cut?"

"Cut it." Xiaokai said listlessly, "Be careful. Don't cut my baby into pieces."

"Okay, Mr. Yan, Master Ning, please step back." The host said, "This stone is too big, so it may be a little troublesome to cut it."

He asked the staff to form a large circle with a radius of nearly ten meters around the venue. The hall was indeed spacious enough. After being surrounded like this, everyone stood around and it still didn't seem crowded.

Standing next to Xiao Kai was a fat man in his forties. He looked very kind. He nodded at Xiao Kai, smiled, and said, "Mr. Yan, right?"

"It's me." Xiaokai said, "You are."

"Haha. I'm Zhang Shicheng. Compared with Master Ning and Miss Xiao, he is just a small person." The fat man casually stuffed a business card to Xiao Kai and said, "I've thought about it over and over. I really can't figure out why Mr. Yan wants to buy this piece. Stone. Could it be that Mr. Yan saw something special about this stone?"

Xiaokai nodded bravely: "What do you think."

"I spent some time in Myanmar and Vietnam in my early years. I also have some knowledge about gambling stones." Zhang Shicheng said: "In my opinion, this stone is not qualified to be called a gambling stone. Even if it can barely be called a gambling stone, "There must be extremely low-grade jade inside. I looked around and I really can't see any mystery inside. Please give me some advice, Mr. Yan."

Zhang Shicheng asked for advice sincerely. He himself is a master of stone betting. What he said just now was very polite. If it weren't for Xiao Kai's appearance of being very important, I'm afraid the word "idiot" would have been thrown out. .

Poor Comrade Xiaokai was confused. He didn't know what the mystery of this stone was. But it was hard to explain clearly about the bet with Ning Ning. He could only force a smile and said with force: "You will find out when you wait and see. "

"Oh." Zhang Shicheng nodded. He thought that Xiao Kai had some extraordinary and strange methods. Because he was afraid of violating taboos, he didn't ask any more questions. Human psychology is so strange. Since he thought that Xiao Kai had some extraordinary and strange methods, and I have always been conceited about my own vision. I couldn't help but want to verify my vision again. I lowered my voice and said: "Mr. Yan, what do you think about the Xuanmo sword just now..."

"Oh. You mean that flying sword?" Xiao Kai was impressed. He said smoothly: "This sword is of no use to ordinary people."

Zhang Shicheng heard the words "useless to ordinary people" and heard Xiao Kai call out the unheard term "Flying Sword". His heart immediately clicked and he thought: "This is right. That's right. He is indeed a master."

Zhang Shicheng was a cheerful person. He reached out and took the newly acquired sword from the bodyguard next to him. He handed it to Xiao Kai and said, "Mr. Yan, if you are interested, you might as well help Shicheng appraise it."

At this time, the field was almost cleared. Two heavily armed guys carried a huge electric saw and placed it on the stone. It seemed that they were going to use the electric saw to cut the stone. The host nervously arranged the manpower Transparent baffles were laid out in all directions to prevent the splashed stone fragments from hurting these big shots. Xiao Kai also became nervous. He didn't pay much attention to the situation on Zhang Shicheng's side. He picked up the Xuan Mo Sword and immediately felt A stream of fairy energy is injected into the body of the sword.

His qualifications were indeed mediocre, and he didn't know how to practice cultivation at all. However, he stayed with the Wordless Heavenly Book for a long time and accepted the subtle influence of the Wordless Heavenly Book on his body for a long time. Although he has not yet entered the door of cultivation, he has a strong influence on the vitality of heaven and earth. His ability to sense and control has already quietly reached a very high level. Previously, he was able to directly use the cultivation spells given to him by the four old men. It was precisely because of his sensitivity to the vitality of heaven and earth.

Therefore, as soon as the fairy spirit energy of this sword entered his body, it immediately established a direct connection with his soul. Xiaokai said "Hey" and squeezed the Xuanmo sword without any warning. Then he unsheathed it and bounced up to a height of more than one meter. He hung high in the sky. Zhang Shicheng was frightened. He took two steps back in a hurry and said in surprise: "Mr. Yan."

"Oh. I'm sorry. Don't be afraid." Xiao Kai reacted and pointed to the sky. He smiled and said, "Look, your sword is quite good."

At this moment, the long sword was in the sky. Everyone looked over. They saw that the sword was completely white. The edges on both sides were so thin that they could hardly be seen clearly. There was a cold light under the light. A cold breath suddenly appeared. It spread. Some people had secretly shuddered.

"A good sword. It's indeed a good sword." Zhang Shicheng couldn't help blurting out, but he couldn't tell the surprise in his heart. He had just taken out the sword and looked at it. However, the sword body was gray and dull, and the blade was also old and old. Who would have thought that once in the hands of Yan Xiaokai, he would actually transform to such an extent. It seems that this Mr. Yan, whom I have never heard of, is indeed an incredible mysterious figure. (Your gentle click warms my entire code. Life. Let’s watch the fantasy channel of Literary Network. More exciting content is waiting for you.)

Ning Qing rolled her eyes. She ran over and pulled Xiaokai's sleeves: "Brother Xiaokai, do you think... it would be better to use this sword to cut stones?"

As soon as he said this, many people nodded: "Yes. This sword looks so sharp. This is a good idea."

"It's not very good." Xiao Kai frowned: "This thing is too thin. If it gets damaged..."

"It doesn't matter. Just use it." Zhang Shicheng immediately interrupted Xiao Kai: "This sword is ordinary in Zhang's hands, but it is dazzling in Mr. Yan's hands. This is also its fate with Mr. Yan. I buy this This sword is just for fun. Why don't you borrow flowers and give it to Mr. Yan now?"

"Uh..." Xiao Kai was a little dazed again. Something worth more than 10 million yuan was just bought for fun. It was given to him like this. It seems that this Zhang Shicheng is not an ordinary person. He was fascinated by it. Fortunately, Xiao Yun quietly tugged on his sleeve and nodded to him. Only then did he react: "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Shicheng looked very happy. He patted Xiaokai on the shoulder: "Mr. Yan, you're welcome. Just call me Shicheng."

After Xiao Kai played with flying swords, everyone looked at him differently. And Thunder Dragon stood at the back of the crowd. Looking at the cold sword in the sky, he felt that his hands and feet were moving little by little. His heart went cold: "Oh my God. He is actually a superpower. This is too much."

When the two guys carrying the electric saws walked out, Xiao Kai started to move the Xuan Mo Sword. He moved steadily to the top of the stone. When Xiao Kai pressed his finger, the sword struck straight down. In just a split second, the sword's edge, flashing with cold light, touched the edge of the stone. Everyone's eyes widened. They saw that the sword seemed to have penetrated into tofu. It slashed all the way down without any hindrance. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of it was chopped off. meters distance.

The long sword cut across the hard stone, making a smooth and pleasant "swishing" sound like cutting paper. The sharpness of this sword made everyone's hearts tremble.

The stone separated. Under the traction and support of the dense layers of ropes and rubber wrapped around it, it slowly split into two pieces and fell to the ground, revealing the scenery inside.

"This...this is..." Everyone opened their mouths wide and couldn't say another word.

This stone is definitely not a gambling stone. But it is definitely not an ordinary stone. Everyone, look at me and I look at you. No one can tell what this is.

A large stone with a diameter of 1.56 meters. Except for the outer shell of 20 centimeters, the inside is completely empty. The empty part is covered with structures like meridians or networks. These networks are like One strap after another, tightly wrapped around something the size of a fist in the center of the stone. At first glance, it looked like a large beetle tightly bound by countless spider threads.

Xiao Kai rushed over and was about to reach out and touch the thing between the rocks. The host quickly came over to stop him and said repeatedly: "Mr. Yan, don't worry. Be careful, it's dangerous. Let our staff come first."

Xiao Kai was right when he thought about it. He stopped and suddenly heard a voice in his head shouting: "Idiot. Idiot. The essence of ten thousand years of black iron is the most precious treasure in the world. The first person who touches it is its owner." .This is a critical moment. Why don't you hurry up and grab it?"

The person who said this was none other than the learned man in the wordless heavenly book.

Xiao Kai didn't hesitate anymore. He pushed the host away. He already bent down and grabbed the so-called "Ten Thousand Years Dark Iron Essence". He pulled it up hard...

Not moving at all.

"I still don't believe it. It's such a big thing." Xiao Kai was greatly embarrassed. He gritted his teeth and pulled again...

Still motionless.

Everyone looked at the thing in Xiao Kai's hand in surprise and uncertainty. They couldn't say a word. But at this moment, they heard a "click" in the hall. It came from under the thing. Everyone took a closer look. .I suddenly took another deep breath.

The hard marble floor under the hall was actually shattered by the weight of this small thing, and there were obvious cracks.

Such a fist-sized thing should weigh. Five hundred kilograms. Or one thousand kilograms.

Xiaokai's face turned red. Just as he was about to continue exerting his strength, he heard the learned master curse again: "Idiot. The essence of ten thousand years of black iron can be changed at will. It can be long or short, light or heavy, round or flat. It can be thick or thin. You won't make it lighter before handling it."

Xiao Kai suddenly realized it. He tried to say in his heart: "Lighter. Lighter. Yes. Lighter." The thing in his hand slowly became lighter. Until it didn't weigh much anymore, Xiao Kai shook his wrist. Turn over. Get the thing directly into your hand.

"Uh... no." Everyone was a little dumbfounded again. This thing could even crush the floor. It weighed over a thousand kilograms anyway. He picked it up gently and deftly.

Ning Ning was also a little dumbfounded. He swore that there was nothing in the stone. But not only was there something in the stone, but it was also very weird. He was also knowledgeable, but he had never seen such a weird scene. So. Seeing Xiao Kai's happy face, he couldn't help but said: "Xiao Kai, what is this."

Xiaokai chuckled but didn't answer. He just said: "You have to take care of it."

He held the piece of ten thousand-year-old black iron essence in his hand. He opened his palms and chanted silently in his mind. He saw that the mass slowly became longer and thinner. It actually turned into a two-meter-long rod with a uniform thickness. Xiao Kai held the stick and turned it around in his hand a few times. He then tapped lightly on the exhibition window next to him.

"Boom." There was a sudden loud noise. The entire display window suddenly shattered into pieces as if it had been hit by a bomb. The tempered glass that could even block bullets suddenly turned into glass shards all over the floor. As for the metal bracket below, it was already broken. It was knocked completely twisted. It looked like a twist that had just been exploded.

Xiaokai took a step back triumphantly and thrust the stick into the ground. There was a "pop" sound. The hard marble floor was like tofu. It was suddenly thrust across. Xiaokai let go of his hand and let the stick stand on the ground. There is a word in my mind: "Grow. Grow. Grow taller."

The stick grew in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it had grown three to four meters high. The top had already reached the high ceiling. It looked like it would have penetrated the basement if it was any higher. The host's face turned green and his lips turned white as he shouted. Said: "Mr. Yan, it can't grow any longer. The building will collapse."

Xiao Kai nodded, stopped the order, glanced around, and saw the Xuan Mo Sword lying on the ground. Suddenly, on a whim, he made the flying sword float up with a finger, facing the ten thousand years of Xuan Tie. With a wave of his spirit, he ordered: "Go."

The flying sword rushed over like lightning, and struck the stick with a heavy blow. It made a crisp and sonorous sound, "Dang."

The next moment, the Xuanmo Sword fell softly. A small pea-sized gap appeared on the blade.

A trace of regret flashed in Zhang Shicheng's eyes. He thought to himself: "It's a pity that this good sword is ruined like this." Just when he thought of this, he saw the Xuanmo sword that fell on the ground suddenly jumped more than half a meter high out of thin air. It made a sound like exploding beans. It exploded into pieces all over the sky and fell to the ground.

"...It's not that it was crippled. It was completely destroyed." Zhang Shicheng's eyes widened and he was completely stunned.

"What... what on earth is this?" Ning Ning's voice was not fluent: "Why do I look... so much like the legendary golden cudgel?"

"Hahahaha. This kid really has wisdom." The learned master laughed loudly in the wordless heavenly book: "You can actually think of the golden cudgel. Yes. This ten thousand-year black iron essence is the only one in the world in the legend. Immortal weapon. It is invincible and invincible. It is the super magic weapon that can block the gods and kill the gods. The Buddha can block the Buddha and kill the Buddha... The Ruyi Golden Cudgel."

"No way." Xiao Kai shouted loudly.

But the learned man hadn't finished his words yet. The word "stick" was dragged back with a long sound, and then he said: "a fragment of."

Xiao Kai rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

"Fellow Taoist Xiaokai, don't be dissatisfied. Even if this essence of ten thousand years of black iron is just a fragment of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, it is definitely the most precious treasure in the world. Compared with your fairy ropes, golden cauldrons, and white jade screens. And so on. It's more than a hundred times better. Even that mysterious and abnormal mahjong array will never be able to withstand the full blow of this thing." The learned man patiently explained: "With this thing, even in the In the golden age ten thousand years ago, you could have gone sideways, let alone the current world of cultivation."

"Can this thing take me flying?" Xiao Kai still couldn't forget that he couldn't fly.

"Sigh. Why can't you tell your priorities?" The learned master sighed again: "Flying with a sword is such a low-level thing. The essence of ten thousand years of black iron is such a high-level thing. You can't even do this?" I don’t understand. How do you cultivate yourself?”

"But... I just want to fly." Xiao Kai said aggrievedly.

"Come on, come on." The learned master said: "Pick up the fragments of that sword. When you have time, we will use the essence of ten thousand years of black iron to help you refine a flying sword. Then we will ensure that you can go to heaven and earth smoothly. No hindrance.”

While the learned master was following his instructions, the hall was already completely boiling. He would rather not have the complacent look just now. He came over and whispered: "Um... Xiaokai, how much do you think this thing is worth."

Xiaokai also raised his head and chest. He laughed proudly and said loudly: "Everyone, how much do you think this thing is worth?"

The place immediately fell silent.

Zhang Shicheng frowned and thought for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "This thing is really weird. Not only have I never seen it before, but I have never even heard of it. But based on what I saw today, I think there should be hundreds of millions of them anyway. It’s worth it.”

"More than hundreds of millions." Another person said: "This kind of thing has never been seen before and will never be seen again. It may be the same in heaven and earth throughout the ages. It is not worth hundreds of millions. It is a priceless treasure. "

"I am willing to pay 100 million. I wonder if Mr. Yan can part with me." Another person jumped out.

"Tch. For such a treasure, 100 million is not enough. I am willing to pay 120 million. What do you think of Mr. Yan?"

"Hehe. I'll add another ten million."

"Forget it. One price. 200 million. I want it."

The expression on Xiao Kai's face was very dumbfounded. He never expected that the situation would suddenly develop into a live auction. He would definitely not sell the essence of ten thousand years of black iron. However, the prices offered by these people still made him very happy. He turned to face Rather blinked: "How does it feel."

At this point, I would rather just lower my head and say: "I lost."

Now that the farce is over, of course everyone went home. Xiaokai was about to walk out when he felt a person firmly holding his clothes from behind.

"Hey, why is it you again?" Xiao Kai couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Thunder Dragon's dark and yellow face: "Why are you always following me?"

He didn't remember what Brontosaurus said to him. He only knew that this inexplicable fat man had harassed him several times. Of course, he, Yan Xiaokai, was also a man with normal sexual orientation. He had no idea about such a fat man with bad breath. What interest.

Thunder Dragon looked at death with a look on his face. He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yan, I know I got into big trouble this time. I also know that you are not willing to forgive me easily. But people are walking around in the world. When you lower your head, you will not see me when you raise your head. You have to give it to yourself. I think it's a bit thin. My Thunder Dragon just made an unintentional mistake. As the saying goes, those who don't know are not to blame. Killing them all is not a good thing after all. I hope Mr. Yan will come up with conditions. As long as I can let my Thunder Dragon live, I, the Thunder Dragon, will be willing to any conditions. accept."

Xiao Kai was confused. She had no idea what he was talking about. After thinking carefully for a long time, she finally ruled out the possibility that the other party was mentally unstable. She couldn't help but said, "What on earth do you want to do?"

The corners of Thunder Dragon's mouth twitched, but his face became more determined. He whispered: "If Mr. Yan wants to save face, Lei can find a day to invite all the gangsters in S City to apologize to you in person. If it is Mr. Yan Seeking wealth. Lei's total wealth is about 1.3 billion, and he is willing to contribute half of it. If Mr. Yan seeks beauty..." Lei Long looked at Xiao Yun and Ning Qing next to Xiao Kai uneasily. He gritted his teeth and decided to give it up. The words came out: "Lei is willing to give Xiaoqian to you. That goddess of joy is a top-notch beauty. Please accept it."

Xiaokai opened her mouth wide and hesitated for a long time before holding back a sentence: "You...you don't have to apologize to me...I don't want your property either..."

Lei Long was overjoyed: "Mr. Yan's family is rich and generous. Naturally, he doesn't like Lei's wealth. In that case, I will give Xiaoqian to Mr. Yan. The goddess of joy. I will ask someone to give it away later. Come to the house."
