Seeing everyone around him with their chins hitting their insteps, Xiang Baowen finally had the refreshing feeling of letting out a strong sigh of relief.
"If you just go by the size and color of this pearl, there may be other treasures in the world that can compete with it, but because of the girl inside, absolutely nothing you have here can surpass it!" Xiang Bao
Wen thought this in his mind, looked greedily at Shuoshuang's exposed white ankles, and swallowed hard.
"Everyone knows that pearls are usually formed when sand or pebbles enter the shell, and this huge sea clam was accidentally discovered by us in a trench two thousand meters deep in the sea. We also discovered a ship at the same time.
According to our speculation, the girl in the pearl should be the wreckage of a shipwreck a hundred years ago.
One of them, her body fell into the deep sea with the sunken ship. Fortunately, she was not eaten by fish, but fell into the sea clam, and then formed this unique pearl, which has mermaids crying in the West Sea.
According to the legend of Chengzhu, this pearl perfectly preserved the body of a girl from hundreds of years ago, so we named this pearl Luoyan."
It was originally supposed to be a very poignant story, but unfortunately when it was narrated from Xiang Baowen's mouth, it seemed boring. So after Xiang Baowen told it for a while, he found that the effect was not good, so he wisely closed his mouth.
However, because this pearl is so beautiful, the shock to everyone present was still absolutely huge.
After letting the pearl be displayed in front of everyone for another thirty seconds, Xiang Baowen made a gesture, and two of his men carefully closed the wooden box. The pink light in the air quickly slid towards the box, and everyone seemed to hear a ringing sound.
A girl let out a vague sigh, and then disappeared into the closed box as everyone felt disappointed.
The feeling of loss as if their hearts were suddenly hollowed out made everyone feel very depressed.
The hall seemed to be filled with the faint singing and low voice of the girl in the pearl.
Prince Jin and Qingyuan Bai secretly exchanged glances, and both of them could read each other's meaning from their glances: "There are absolutely only a handful of rare treasures in this plane that can be compared with this pearl. There are only a few that can reach this level."
Jewelry is naturally collected by the royal family in the inner courtyard of the palace, so how can we find such a treasure in a short period of time?"
Qingyuan Bai looked towards Liang Xi and saw Liang Xi frowning and staring at her feet, not knowing what she was thinking.
He sighed silently in his heart. Xiang Baowen had obviously come prepared. I'm afraid he had already lost the first treasure in this competition.
"Everyone, how do you feel about this Luoyan Pearl?" Xiang Baowen was so proud that the flesh on his cheeks swayed, "Because it absorbs the aura and yin energy of the water element at the bottom of the sea all the year round, it can already emit light on its own. If it is in the dark
In the wilderness, the light it emits is comparable to the clear moonlight."
After Xiang Baowen finished speaking, he looked around and saw the sad expressions on the faces of everyone around him. He couldn't help but lick his lips: "This feeling is really great!"
There was silence in the hall for a few seconds. Xiang Baowen looked at Prince Jin and said: "Your Majesty, it's your turn. The first round is the treasure competition. I don't know which one of the treasures on display on this floor the Prince is going to take out."
Woolen cloth?"
Prince Jin looked as normal and said calmly: "King Wen's Luoyan Pearl is comparable to the treasure of the country. I have not yet been lucky enough to obtain a treasure that can be compared with this."
Prince Jin's tone was very tactful, but his meaning was clearly expressed: there is no treasure on this level that can compare to the Luoyan Pearl, so he voluntarily gave up.
They competed with three treasures. They already lost in the first round. If they lose again in the second round, then Liang Xi and Shuo Shuang will have to fulfill their promise!
Lingyin turned her head and looked at Liang Xi. In her impression, Liang Xi was definitely not someone who would give up easily, but why didn't he react at all now?
Under Ling Yin's puzzled gaze, Liang Xi's frown suddenly relaxed, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Liang Xi's calm smile, Lingyin suddenly felt like she wouldn't be nervous or scared even if the sky fell.
"Has he thought of a way?" Lingyin was confused. Thinking of Liang Xi's violent personality, she suddenly thought, "Isn't he trying to break the Luoyan Pearl?"
Just when Suzune was in shock, Sword Master Qingyuan Haku had already shaken his head. Although he was reluctant to admit it in his heart, the opponent's Luo Yan Zhu was indeed unparalleled in the world.
He smiled freely and said: "King Wen's Luoyan Pearl definitely deserves the title of No. 1 in the world, so this round we-"
Originally, hearing Qing Yuanbai's words, all the guests from Chu State around felt their hearts throbbing, but suddenly they heard Liang Xi's voice calling to stop, as if they saw candlelight in the endless dark night, and everyone's eyes once again shot out the light of hope.
, all eyes focused on Liang Xi.
Seeing Liang Xi coming forward, Xiang Baowen's face suddenly darkened: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"Don't be so nervous." Liang Xi's giggling look made Prince Jin and Qingyuan Bai look at each other: "Does he have a treasure in his hand?"
Liang Xi turned to look at Prince Jin and Qingyuan Bai, cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, Sword Master, I would like to ask, does the rule just say that King Wen represents the State of Xiang, and we represent the State of Chu to compete for treasures?
"
"Yes." Prince Jin nodded.
Liang Xi stretched out her hands to make a circle and said, "Does our range also include me?"
Prince Jin glanced at Xiang Baowen, who gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I want to see what tricks you can do!"
Liang Xi shook her head, with an unfathomable look that aroused the appetite of the people around her: "It's not really a trick, but as a good citizen of Chu State and a candidate for the top ten promising young people, I feel that at this time I am still
You can make some contribution."
"Okay, I want to see what you can come up with." Xiang Baowen crossed his arms and looked sideways at Liang Xi, sneering again and again, "Liang Xi, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds now, because you
Now I am representing your Chu State. It is a big crime to have lost the face of Chu State. You must know that there are still many guests from other countries here."
"I know this." Liang Xi chuckled, "How can I compare to the experienced King Wen when it comes to things like embarrassment?"
"What did you say!" Xiang Baowen's eyebrows were raised and he was about to have a seizure. Liang Xi simply ignored him and stretched out his hand in front of everyone and said, "Everyone, watch out. This most precious treasure is in my hands right now."
The box that Xiang Baowen used to store the Luoyan Pearl was the most exquisite and precious box, and Liang Xi actually caught it in his hand. Everyone was curious and looked at each other: "What kind of treasure can be so small?"
In addition, Liang Xi now represents the Chu State, and everyone's expectations are getting stronger.
Shuoshuang knew that Liang Xi didn't bring anything with him when he came out, so now he was curious about what he was going to bring out.
Under the unblinking gazes of everyone, Liang Xi slowly opened her palms, and what appeared on her palms was a handful of loess.
