Chapter 16: Crescent Hotel, Sacred Object Auction House
Chapter 16: Crescent Hotel, Sacred Object Auction House
"You're really not going to take that coffin with you?!"
“It looks quite valuable!”
The fat man looked at the exquisite bronze coffin in the secret room with reluctance and kept on persuading.
At this time, all four of them were at the door of the gas chamber.
Xu Feng shook his head.
"No, that thing is too evil. Whoever lies in it will turn into a corpse."
"Instead of taking it out to harm others, it is better to let it stay here forever."
Although this soul-nourishing golden coffin is a rare divine object.
But it's too evil.
He doesn't want it.
Not only don't want it.
He also placed a lot of explosives at the entrance of the secret room, preparing to blow it down, so that the soul-nourishing golden coffin and the bodies could be buried here forever and not be found by outsiders.
Hu Bayi also agreed with this decision.
He saw with his own eyes that the three people in the coffin turned into dumplings. Such an evil thing should not exist in the world.
Because of Xu Feng's decision, he had a deeper understanding of him.
There is a way to be greedy for money.
It is not a bad thing to like making money, but it is a bad thing to like making money through illegal means.
Resist temptation.
Have a moral bottom line.
……
On the way back, Xu Feng was smiling.
This trip is totally worth it.
The first harvest was the longevity fruit.
The second harvest was black snake meat.
With these two things, he, a novice in cultivation, advanced to the third level of the Turtle Breathing Technique, which was a leap to heaven!
So now he is becoming more and more eager for sacred objects and ancient tombs.
"I wonder what treasures are in those legendary thousand-year-old tombs! The Jingjue Ancient City, the Yunnan Worm Valley, the Longling Caves, the Seven-Star Lu Palace..."
"There are also the tombs of Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Cao Cao, and Li Shimin..."
"The ultimate thing that the Old Nine Gates have been searching for for so many years, could it be some kind of immortal divine object?"
"Oh my god! Stop thinking about it, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
……
I slept soundly.
When Xu Feng woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
He was woken up by the driver.
Xu Bangguo called him and said that there would be an auction in Beijing in the next two days, a special auction for rare objects, and asked him to go back quickly.
Special for divine objects?!
Xu Feng immediately became interested.
So he found Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi and said, "Originally, I wanted to rest for a few days before going to Empress Dowager Xiao's tomb, but there are some things in the capital that I need to go back to deal with. I must go to Empress Dowager Xiao's tomb. I will come back after I finish dealing with things in the capital."
"Will you stay here and wait for me, or come back to the capital with me and come back next time?"
"Of course we went back together!"
Fatty Wang shouted immediately.
"We got so many treasures this time. There are more than 80 pieces in the village alone. How can one truck load them all?"
"First load a batch and take it back, then come back next time and bring two more trucks."
Hu Bayi also said: "I want to go back too."
“I saw a lot and learned a lot during this trip.”
"Many things are the same as what is recorded in the book 'The Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique' that was passed down in my family."
"It was so embarrassing because we were inexperienced and didn't prepare everything. So I want to go back to the capital to make more preparations, so that next time I go to the tomb, I won't be so embarrassed."
"Also, I want to bring more daily necessities to my fellow villagers next time I come back."
Xu Feng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, since we have decided to go back, let's pack up and leave immediately."
……
After some tossing.
The four finally returned to the capital.
It is worth mentioning that Yingzi came to the capital with them this time.
Fatty Wang took full charge of the reception, and Xu Feng just let him do it.
After explaining some things to Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi, Xu Feng returned home.
"Dad, Mom, I miss you so much!"
Xu Feng said with a smile.
"Hmm? Son, how come you look better after being away for a few days?"
Xu Feng was speechless: "Mom, I used to be handsome too, okay?!"
"Oh, I mean, it looks better than before."
Xu Feng had discovered this a long time ago.
Ever since he took a bath that night, he found that his skin had become much whiter and smoother. This should be the effect of the tortoise breathing practice to cleanse his essence and marrow.
Now that his mother mentioned this, it immediately reminded him of it.
"Hey, Dad, did you practice that turtle technique for Mom?"
Xu Bangguo sat on the sofa and nodded: "Yes, I have practiced! But your mother and I are old, our body functions have deteriorated, and the effect is very weak."
"It's okay, look what good things I brought back for you."
He sat down on the sofa and took out a wooden box from his pocket.
After opening it, there were five green fruits the size of grapes inside.
Xu Bangguo took a look at it and asked, "What is this?"
Zhou Xiumei also sat down next to him: "Looks like unripe grapes?"
Xu Feng chuckled: "This is called the Duling Longevity Fruit, it's the treasure I found this time!"
"It can increase your true essence and spiritual energy, and assist in cultivation. Mom, I became handsome because I ate this fruit!"
Xu Bangguo and Zhou Xiumei were both stunned.
Xu Bangguo took the wooden box and looked at the five fruits with his eyes wide open: "There are such magical things in the world?!"
"Oh, trust me, I won't lie to you."
"I left these five for you. Without further ado, you should first upgrade your Turtle Breathing Training Method to level three. It should be of great benefit to your body."
Xu Bangguo and Zhou Xiumei looked at each other.
Then Xu Bangguo closed the wooden box and placed it in front of Xu Feng again.
"You should eat this treasure. We are old, there is no need to waste it."
"If you eat them, you won't be able to travel around the country without a healthy body."
Xu Feng felt warm in his heart.
"Dad, Mom, these are for you."
"You didn't think that this was all I gained from my trip this time, did you?!"
He looked around and asked quietly, "Is it safe to talk in our house?"
Zhou Xiumei scolded with a smile: "Little bastard, isn't it safe for us to talk in our own home?"
Xu Bangguo guessed something. He raised his hand to interrupt Zhou Xiumei and said, "Come with me to the study."
Next, Xu Feng took out the black dragon snake meat and explained the process of killing the snake. The old couple was so shocked that their hearts were in their throats.
He kept saying it was too dangerous and would not let Xu Feng go out to take risks no matter what.
However, after a feast of black dragon snakes, the old couple had forgotten about this matter long ago!
……
Finally Xu Feng asked about the auction.
"It was an auction organized by the Crescent Hotel."
Xu Bangguo said quietly.
Crescent Hotel?
Xu Feng's heart moved.
Xu Bangguo took a sip of tea and said, "The Crescent Hotel is very mysterious and rarely receives outsiders, so not many people know about it."
"The Crescent Hotel is a restaurant on the surface, but it is actually the largest auction house in Beijing."
"Everyone who collects antiques in Beijing knows that the Xinyue Hotel is where the real connoisseurs hang out, and they collect big items. In comparison, Liulichang and Panjiayuan are all street stalls."
"This auction is said to be a special event for divine objects, so there will be many super-rich people and top bosses participating."
"It took me a lot of effort to get an invitation."
"With your ability to appraise treasures, I'm sure you won't return empty-handed."
Xu Feng patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, this is it..."
He rubbed his fingers together.
Xu Bangguo rolled his eyes at him and said, "I have transferred all the liquid funds in my family to you, a total of 4 million yuan, you kid, take it easy, and remember, don't light a sky lantern!"
