Chapter 4 Fatty: Dare to lie to me, I’ll smash your signboard!
Jiang Hua was not surprised. After all, this was the key to the ancient city of Jingjue. It was located on a dragon vein and after years of cultivation, it naturally carried dragon energy.
"Ding! Dragon Qi absorption completed, a total of 156 evolution points obtained!"
Jiang Hua was shocked. The system had absorbed all the antiques with dragon energy in his home, a total of more than a dozen pieces.
But the final amount of dragon energy obtained was only 102 points.
This jade pendant alone gained 156 points.
As expected, the closer the treasure is to the dragon vein, the higher the dragon energy it contains.
"How is it? How much is it worth?" Wang Kaixuan asked expectantly.
Jiang Hua pondered for a moment, wondering whether he should accept the jade from Wang Kaixuan?
This piece of jade actually only serves as a key.
The dragon energy in it had been completely absorbed by Jiang Hua, but since it was something from two thousand years ago, it was still worth a bit of money...
"Oh, forget it. Fatty still needs this piece of jade to join the archaeological team. He and Hu Bayi are the protagonists of the tomb-robbing world. It's best not to change their fate."
When the fat man saw Jiang Hua’s silence, he suddenly became anxious.
"Hey, shopkeeper, what's the reason for your silence? You didn't see that my jade is very valuable, so you wanted to steal my treasure? Let me tell you, I've already asked someone, and this jade is worth at least three thousand..."
Seeing the fat man's appearance, Jiang Hua couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Sir, don't worry. Our Mingguxuan is a time-honored brand and we won't cheat you out of your jade pendant."
"Then tell me quickly, how much is this piece of jade worth?"
Jiang Hua smiled and poured a cup of tea for the fat man, "Fat Master, don't be anxious, let's talk slowly."
"Fatty, are you short of money now?"
"What do you mean, shopkeeper? Do you want to find out my information and then lower the price of the jade pendant?" The fat man frowned.
"How could that be?" Jiang Hua laughed dumbly, "I just wanted to have a small talk with Fatty. Excuse me, Fatty, this piece of jade must have been obtained from the desert, right?"
"How do you know?" the fat man was surprised.
He had never told anyone the origin of this jade.
I didn't expect that the shopkeeper could tell me its origin right away.
"The text on this jade pendant is inscribed with the Ghost Cave Script. This type of script only appeared in the Jingjue Kingdom in the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty!"
"What? You said that this piece of jade of mine is a treasure from the Western Han Dynasty?" The fat man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right!" Jiang Hua nodded.
"Then this piece of jade of mine is worth a lot of money, isn't it?"
“It’s worth some money.”
"Then shopkeeper, please give me the money quickly!" said the fat man happily.
"Don't worry, Fatty." Jiang Hua said with a smile, "This jade pendant is indeed valuable, but it should be left to you by your father, right?"
Hearing this, the fat man's smile froze.
Yes, this is indeed the only legacy his father left him.
If he wasn't in urgent need of money to entertain his retired brother Hu Bayi, why would he sell this jade?
"I think Fatty is in urgent need of money, but this piece of jade is your father's wish after all. Let me give you a choice. I'll give you three thousand yuan, and you can keep the jade with me temporarily, and sign a document."
Jiang Hua continued, "When will Fatty be able to get rich? As long as you bring the money, you can redeem this jade pendant at any time. You don't have to worry that I won't acknowledge it. My Mingguxuan is such a big brand, there is no need to lose my reputation for these three thousand dollars."
"Or you can choose the second option and sell the jade to me directly. I will give you 10,000 yuan at once. What do you think?"
The fat man hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "You really won't lie to me?"
"Don't worry, Fatty. My Ming Gu Xuan is right here. If you feel that I have deceived you, you can come over and smash my sign at any time!"
The fat man thought about it and agreed. Mingguxuan is such a big brand, there is no need for them to cheat him for a piece of jade.
As the saying goes, it is better to offend the King of Hell than to offend the devil!
If Mingguxuan cheated him, he would do his best to destroy their reputation!
"Okay, I'll leave this jade with you temporarily. When I have money, I'll redeem it." Jiang Hua smiled and stretched out his hand, "Fatty, happy cooperation!"
"If you have any antique treasures in the future, Fatty, just bring them to me and I will give you a fair price..."
……
Looking at the fat man's leaving figure, Jiang Hua's mouth curled up slightly.
If nothing unexpected happens, Hu Bayi should be on the train to Beijing now.
The next plot is that they go to the Guandong Fortress in Inner Mongolia.
Jiang Hua had no intention of going with them. After all, the Kanto Fortress was not a major dragon vein location.
At most, it's just a small dragon vein.
Moreover, only a Jin general was buried there, and the burial objects were weapons such as swords, guns, sticks, etc. These weapons contained evil spirits, making it difficult for dragon energy to attach to them.
With all this time, he might as well practice hard and improve his martial arts to the first level as soon as possible!
"Oh, right, I just absorbed the dragon energy from the jade pendant, and now I can finally buy the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique."
He opened the system mall and directly bought the first half of the Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Art.
Memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
"Wood in the east, fire in the south, earth in the middle, metal in the west, water in the north..."
The Feng Shui Five Elements Tomb Layout Structure, a series of obscure texts, were engraved in his mind.
Fortunately, thanks to the knowledge imparted by the system and the corresponding explanations, Jiang Hua was able to gain a very deep understanding of the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique in a short period of time.
"Whoo~"
"It is indeed the legendary 'Tomb Raiders' Guide', the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique!"
Jiang Hua's eyes shone brightly. At this moment, he had a deep understanding of various Feng Shui tombs.
Even in the ancient city of Jingjue, the internal mechanisms cannot leave the Fuxi Bagua.
The "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" was derived from Fuxi's Eight Trigrams.
He finally gained a little confidence in his upcoming trip to the Jingjue Ancient City...
……
In Yujing History College.
Inside the office.
"Professor Chen, do you really want to look for the Ancient City of Jingjue?" a middle-aged man asked helplessly.
"That's right, Principal Liu, you know me too. I have been studying the Jingjue Ancient City for my entire life. My greatest wish in this life is to unlock the secret of the Jingjue Ancient City. For this secret, I would rather sacrifice my life!"
A white-haired old man standing nearby answered. He wore a pair of reading glasses and exuded a scholarly air, and it was obvious that he was a researcher.
Principal Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Professor Chen, it seems that you must go to the desert?"
"This is the best opportunity. A Chinese American has funded our archaeological team, and I have submitted a report to apply for the establishment of an archaeological team, and the higher-ups have approved it..."
"Well then..." Principal Liu sighed, "Professor Chen, who are you going to take with you this time?"
"My student Professor Hao Jianguo and several of his students, I also plan to have another student Jiang Hua join the archaeological team, and then spend money to find a few guides, there shouldn't be a problem."
"Jiang Hua?" Principal Liu frowned slightly.
"Jiang Hua is one of my new students. He is particularly interested in archaeology and his grades are also very good, so this time I plan to let him join the archaeological team."
Principal Liu nodded. "But Professor Chen, you have to talk to them clearly and ask them to join the archaeological team voluntarily. Don't force them. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the school will have to bear a lot of responsibility..."
Professor Chen had no objection. "Principal Liu, don't worry. I will definitely explain it to them."
