Chapter 77 Mixed joys and sorrows
The demon pill is so precious? But I don’t regret it, as long as it’s not ridiculed. So I nodded and said, “I am Miss Xu’s friend. I’m ashamed. I really have nothing else to give it to, as long as my uncle doesn’t dislike it.”
I was telling the truth, but these words made everyone react differently. Most of the guests had confused expressions on their faces. They didn’t understand why such a small stone could make the Xu family take the initiative. Could it be that the head of the Xu family has a girlish heart and likes to collect all kinds of stones? This is an opportunity to flatter, and a car of stones must be sent over tomorrow!
He Yangde was sweating profusely, and his sweat dripped, as if he had just washed his hair. He thought it was embarrassing to me to send fake antiques, but this silly child gave another broken stone! It's over, it's still a matter of whether he could live until tomorrow if he teased the head of the Xu family like this!
As for the head of the Xu family, he said solemnly: "Young man, don't leave after the banquet, let's talk."
I was slightly stunned, but my expression didn't change much, so I agreed: "Okay."
When I returned to He Yangde, I saw He Yangde looking like he had washed his hair, and I asked, "Vice Governor He, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh! You've caused a big disaster! The head of the Xu family doesn't let you leave, afraid it's to kill someone to silence you! If you have a conscience, don't involve me!"
Hearing this, I felt a bit of a fuss on the spot! I asked, "No way? He looks very enthusiastic and must really want to talk to me."
He Yangde whispered: "Natural! The head of the Xu family clearly hid a knife in his smile!"
Soon, the banquet began. Although the table of food was mostly something I had never seen before, I was worried at this time but had no appetite to eat.
After about five minutes, He Yangde said he wanted to go to the bathroom, but he never came back. I don’t know if it was killed by the head of the Xu family, or if he ran away with urine escape technique.
I also wanted to run away, but where could I run? So I felt even more worried...
………………………………………
After eating a few bites, I walked to the club door and looked up at the night sky. Just as I was thinking about how to run away, a soft female voice sounded behind me: "Isn't it cold?"
The person who spoke was Xu Ningrou, and she was standing behind wearing a long white down jacket. I shook my head and said, "It's not cold, why are you out?"
"I want to ask, what is the demon pill, my father seemed shocked just now."
"Demon Pill?" I explained: "All things have spirits between heaven and earth. Some animals are gifted and will absorb the energy of heaven and earth as soon as they are born and condense into pills. This animal has a long lifespan and is extremely intelligent. The energy of heaven and earth will also condense into crystals in its body. This is the Demon Pill, and it is also the essence of the monster's whole body."
Xu Ningrou asked curiously: "Does there really be monsters? What do they look like?"
"Just like ordinary animals, they are bigger. I have seen two monsters, both of which are very intelligent, and I almost died under the claws of one of the tiger monsters."
Xu Ningrou nodded in a vague way and asked, "Is that demon pill just now from the tiger demon?"
"No." I shook my head and told me about the Yin-Yang Qi Gathering Array.
After hearing this, Xu Ningrou looked shocked: "Is the demon pill so precious?"
"It's okay, to me, it's just a small stone that can shine."
"But you also earned it with your life."
I smiled and said, "At that time, I was just trying to destroy the Yin-Yang Qi Gathering Array and rescue the villagers. The demon pill was an unexpected harvest."
Xu Ningrou showed an admiring look and said, "By the way, tell me your phone number. If you encounter supernatural events in the future, you should help."
"Of course, I'm happy to serve..."
………………………………………
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the banquet ended, Xu Ningrou took me to a luxurious reception room and said, "Wait for a moment here, my father will come soon."
After waiting for five minutes, the head of the Xu family walked in and I hurriedly stood up: "Hello, Uncle Xu."
"Yeah, sit."
After the guest of the division, the head of the Xu family said, "Young man, I just sent someone to check the files. You are just an ordinary person, why do you know about the demon pill?"
"Actually, I am still a famous Taoist priest." As I said that, I briefly introduced the origin of the demon pill.
When describing, the head of the Xu family stared at my eyes, as if he wanted to see if I was lying. After a while, he said, "Yin and Yang Qi Gathering Array? Interesting... To be honest, the antiques and gems in the gifts are just decorations in my eyes, while the demon pills are different. The eight major families all need this kind of treasure. Moreover, the energy fluctuations of this demon pill are very strong, which is not an extraordinary product. I don't like to owe others anything, how much money do you want, say a number, I will write a check for you."
"Money? Uncle Xu was joking. I don't need any reward. The demon pill may be precious in your eyes, but it is worthless to me. Besides, this is a gift. If I didn't give it sincerely, how could it be taken out?"
The head of the Xu family laughed and said, "It's interesting, I remember your name. In addition, if you can find the demon pill in the future, you must send it to me. The price is easy to say, and you will never be treated unfairly."
I nodded in agreement and promised that if I found the demon pill in the future, I would keep it for the Xu family...
………………………………………
Since He Yangde ran away with the 'urination technique', I had no place to live. Fortunately, the head of the Xu family arranged a steady middle-aged man to try his best to meet my needs. I told the middle-aged man that it would be fine to give me a rest place. So he drove a luxury car and took me to a five-star hotel. I asked, "Can you be reimbursed for living here?"
The middle-aged man was happy: "Reimbursement? This is one of the industries under the Xu family, free of charge. I have already said hello to the front desk. You can stay as long as you want. Just notify the front desk when you leave."
Originally, I thought He Yangde's words "can be reimbursed" were enough, but now I realize that it's nothing.
He Yangde was very cunning and had a bad time. He left me alone and ran away. He slowly settled the accounts with him later.
After a night of rest, I took the train the next day. I was mixed with joy and sorrow during this trip to the capital. I was happy that my relationship with Xu Ningrou had some progress and exchanged my mobile phone number. I was worried that she had a very extraordinary background, and I was afraid I couldn't afford to climb...
But I do like her very much, and I had that strange dream last night. In the dream, she is my wife. As for why I have such a dream, I am also puzzled.
But no matter how puzzled it is, he couldn't figure out the answer, so he simply stopped thinking about it, but called Bailihan and asked him if the ancient tomb had been dug. Bailihan seemed to be digging, and he replied with a breath: "I'm digging, I guess I can dig it tomorrow."
I reminded: "Don't act rashly after digging it out, I'll be there the day after tomorrow."
Baili Han agreed...
………………………………………
When I got home, I took the talisman, Chengying Sword, and notebook, and hurried onto the train again.
When I met Baili Han, I looked tired and Baili Han asked, "Xiaolong, what's wrong with you?"
I replied: "I have been running around lately, and I have been exhausted and I have not had a good rest."
Baili Han said with concern: "Then take a rest first and then go to the Yinlong Vein?"
In fact, he was just polite. After all, there were burial objects in the ancient tomb, and he was very eager to go in and take a look. But I nodded in distractedly: "It is certain to rest. After all, my ghost friend has not come back yet, so I dare not enter the ancient tomb rashly."
“How long will it take?”
I took a sip of water and replied, "Two days. Before we separated last time, we had already agreed on the time, so don't worry, I will make sufficient preparations in these two days and strive for success once, otherwise we will all die below."
As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, and Baili Han doesn’t have much to say, so he can only agree: “Okay, Xiaolong, you have a good rest and restore your physical strength. Whether you can succeed depends on this! I will go back and prepare!”
What preparations did he make? Writing a will?
When he enters the tomb, he will definitely follow in, because there are burial objects below, so he can't let me go down alone.
The ugly ghost once said that the Yin Dragon Vein is extremely dangerous, and even I can't protect myself, so how can I have time to protect Bailihan? So if he insists on following, the chance of being able to come out alive is not high. I will advise him, as for whether he listens or not, it is his problem...
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
I have drawn a lot of talismans these two days, but the same two are still the same, the Yin Talisman and the Yang Talisman. When I become more proficient, I will try new talismans.
The ugly ghost has arrived, a day earlier than the original time. At this time, we were standing near the Yinlong Vein, ready to go down and find out. Although I persuaded him kindly, Bailihan still insisted on following and said that he could protect himself.
I asked, "Uncle Baili, there are four zombies underneath, so why do you protect yourself?"
Baili Han took out a pistol mysteriously and said, "Just use it!"
I asked in shock, "Gun?"
Baili Han pushed down his glasses and said, "Yes, although my country prohibits private hiding of guns, it is not a secret that the rich people have such things. The pistol is not expensive, just a few thousand yuan, but it is hard to find a purchase channel. This gun was bought by a friend five years ago, and it finally comes in handy today!"
