Chapter 174 Mermaid Bone Lamp
After a while, Fatty Wang came over with Liu Sang, who had been cleaned up.
"The black market people are so cruel! They can do such a thing to a child," Fatty Wang shook his head.
"Your name is Liu Sang, right?" Jiang Shen looked at the child in front of him who looked almost identical to Wang Can and said,
"Yeah," Liu Sang nodded, his eyes filled with numbness. Even if he was taken back by someone with some perverted fetish, so what? The worst that could happen was death. He no longer cared about life and death!
"When the time comes, I will find you a master to teach you skills. After all, you are like me in some ways, the kind of people who are chased by God and fed by him!" Jiang Shen said, looking at the child in front of him with a numb look in his eyes.
"You are tomb robbers, right?" Liu Sang said bravely.
When Wu Xie heard this, he looked at the child in front of him in surprise, "How did you know?"
"You all have a smell of earth on you, especially that fat guy. It's obvious that the smell of earth on your body hasn't been washed off!" Liu Sang said. He now realized that these people were not people with perverted fetishes. If he wanted to live well, he had to show the corresponding value!
"Brother Fatty, you didn't take a clean shower when you got home!" Jiang Shen glanced at Fatty Wang calmly and said with a firm look on his face.
"Oh! Isn't he busy selling things as soon as he got back?" Fatty Wang was also a little embarrassed. What a kid! Can't he be more tactful when speaking?
"You have a good nose. Why don't you come home with me? I have many dogs at home." Wu Xie also had the idea of kidnapping the child and winked at Liu Sang.
Jiang Shen slapped Wu Xie's head away with a palm. "Get out of my way! When will it be your turn to poach someone from me? I bought him! God didn't give him a particularly sensitive sense of smell! It's his extraordinary hearing that made him so hungry. Am I right?"
Jiang Shen looked at Liu Sang's ears, but in his heart he was complaining about the Wang family. If they had been more reliable back then, they should have brought both brothers back! Instead of just bringing back one, Wang Can. If they had brought both brothers back, Wang Can would have been a deadly weapon with no weaknesses! What a pity, Wu Xie got the advantage!
"Hearing? Isn't that the same as the hearing slaves in the Crescent Hotel?" Xie Yuchen frowned.
"It's different. The hearing slaves of the Crescent Hotel have hearing abilities far superior to those of ordinary people, but their hearing isn't innate. Instead, it's cultivated using a large amount of medicinal herbs and acupuncture! This thing can be mass-produced, but he," Jiang Shen pursed his lips at Liu Sang in front of him, "God has to chase him and feed him! He was born with hearing abilities far superior to those of ordinary people. Cultivating him doesn't require a large amount of medicinal herbs, just proper guidance will do! The point is, the hearing slaves of the Crescent Hotel will become deaf in both ears when they get older, but he won't!"
"Would you consider taking in a disciple?" Xie Yuchen looked at Jiang Shen.
"No," Jiang Shen shook his head. "What I know isn't suitable for him to learn. His aptitude isn't that strong! It would be useless even if he learned it! It would be better to find a reliable master who can teach him to develop his strengths!"
After Jiang Shen finished speaking, he looked at Liu Sang who had been standing there and took out a small stool. "Sit here! I'll get you a household registration after we get out, and I'll also hire a tutor for you. After all, judging by your age, you're almost in junior high school, right? From now on, you can call me brother!"
Liu Sang nodded, but still didn't dare to go over.
Fatty Wang saw the awkward look on the kid's face and pulled Liu Sang over and forced him onto the small stool.
"You kid, we've even let you call me brother! That proves that you and we are one family. There's no need to be so reserved among family members. If you want to eat something delicious in the future, come find me, Fatty! Fatty, my cooking skills are amazing!"
As soon as Fatty Wang said this, Jiang Shen fixed his murderous gaze on Fatty Wang. "Brother Fatty, I won't be polite with you anymore! Let's practice together after we get back!"
Fatty Wang: Who am I? What did I do?
Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang's bewildered expression, shook his head, and sighed, "Fatty, have you ever considered that this kid calls Ah Zhen brother, and you let him call you uncle! Aren't you clearly taking advantage of him?"
Mu Zicong: [Come on, come on, congratulations again to our Fat Master for his misfortunes stemming from his mouth! He's about to be punished again!]
Time to slack off! :[It's okay, let's just take a beating! Wu Xie got a beating too anyway! It's not the first time these two buddies have been in trouble together, so they'll get used to it.]
Yang Weili, who was kind-hearted, said: "That's true. We can enjoy another great show. It's perfect!"
Yiye Liuyun Qingdongxue: [Luckily Wu Xie and Fatty Wang can't see the comments in our livestream, otherwise I would have cried!]
Wan Shi Bu Tong: [By the way, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wu Xie cry!]
Zou Yue Mo Luo: [Are you a devil upstairs?]
Feng Qinghuan: [Am I the only one wondering why the photos of the anchor wearing women's clothing haven't been linked yet?]
Shang Mo Jiuli: [Good question, @Live Room Administrator 000]
Live room administrator 000: [The host has not opened the permission and cannot access the link! ]
Three Thousand Worlds, Embracing the Moon as an Immortal: [Anchor~]
Jiang Shen: [Climb for me!]
Professor Dr. M. Moriarty: [……]
Halfway through the auction, the lightning-struck wood came on stage. Jiang Shen took a look with his golden eyes and saw that the quality, size and age were all good. The starting price of 200 million was also acceptable.
"The quality of this thing is good enough!" Jiang Shen said.
Xie Yuchen nodded and finally bought the piece of lightning-struck wood for 8000 million yuan.
"The lightning-struck wood alone is worth 8000 million, and the Qilin Jie piece will cost at least to million. I don't think it will come down to that!" Fatty Wang shook his head. Hei Xia Zi will probably have to work for the Jie family for the rest of his life!
"Three or five hundred million? That's still conservative!" Wu Xie shook his head. "During the Republic of China, the leader of the Nine Sects was a warlord who controlled a certain area. He lit three sky lanterns in a row at the Crescent Hotel and bought the last three rare herbs: Qilinjie, Blue Snake Gallbladder, and Deer Live Grass. Those three herbs directly bankrupted the first two of the top three of the Nine Sects. My grandfather said that the Ninth Master of the Xie family also spent a lot at the time."
"Anyway, our bottom line is there. If we can capture it, that's the best. If not, we can only resort to the gang-on-gang route. I have plenty of guns and cannons anyway!" Jiang Shen shrugged. Hei Xiazi was already waiting at the door. He couldn't intercept anyone in the black market, so outside the black market, everyone had to rely on their own abilities. He just didn't believe that anyone in the black market had better equipment than him.
"That's a very bad idea!" Xie Yuchen pinched his eyebrows helplessly, and suddenly felt that he didn't hire a servant, but raised a child. Is this considered a belated rebellious period?
If the audience in the live broadcast room could hear Jie Yuchen’s inner voice, they would definitely answer Jie Yuchen seriously: No, he is just a worker who is going crazy!
The third-to-last item at the auction was the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill. When it came out, many people in the private rooms on the second floor were excited, especially the Wang family's room, who were practically determined to win it! Even the Japanese were excited. After all, they had coveted the ancient Chinese medical skills for a long time, and this was an opportunity for them!
"Many of them went out to make phone calls and apply for funding," Liu Sang said, his stomach rumbling and the tips of his ears turning red.
"Here, eat something first!" Jiang Shen stuffed a piece of chocolate into Liu Sang's hand. He originally wanted to take out something else for this kid, but the things in his space were not suitable for him to eat now.
After several rounds of fierce bidding, the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill was finally sold at 5 million. After a while, Xie Yuchen received a bank card payment information on his mobile phone. After deducting the commission, there was still 6000 million left. This commission was even worse than his own!
After the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, there is the Qilin Jelly. When Jiang Shen heard the starting price of 100 million for this thing, he suddenly felt that it was okay for Hei Xia Zi’s eyes not to be cured!
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang simply blocked out the rounds of bidding. Really, hearing too much of it would easily break a poor person's defenses! Although neither of them was that poor, their combined net worth might not even be one-tenth of Qilin Jie's!
Finally, the Qilin Jie was bought by Jie Yuchen at a price of 1.13 billion.
Xie Yuchen calmly swiped the card and placed the Qilin Jie on the table in the box.
After Jiang Shen carefully examined the Qilin Jie, he directly put it into the space.
"Next, let's see what the grand finale is!" Jiang Shen propped up his chin and looked down. He was actually quite curious. What on earth could it be that could attract several big families in Jincheng and even seduce the Japanese?
"The following is the last lot of today's auction, the mermaid bone lamp!" The auctioneer's voice sounded.
"This Mermaid Bone Lamp is made from mermaid bones, and the lamp oil is refined from mermaid flesh and blood. If you keep it nearby and light it for a long time, it can delay aging and extend your life by at least 20 years! In addition, if you bid on this lamp, this auction will also give you two bottles of lamp oil! The starting price is 5 million! Each bid must not be less than 1,000 million!"
The moment these words were spoken, the entire audience erupted in laughter. They'd thought the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill, which could extend life for five years, was already a rare sight, but they hadn't expected something like it could extend life for at least twenty years! For those in high positions, this was an irresistible temptation. No wonder all the powerful families had come, even attracting hyenas like the Japanese! It had to be said, this lamp truly had the potential!
"No need to watch, let's just join in the fun! No matter who gets this thing, it has nothing to do with us! Except for the Japs, of course!" Jiang Shen said, and continued: "Actually, I'm still looking forward to this thing falling into the hands of the Japs. After all, if this thing falls into the hands of the Japs, the people from the other big families in the capital will definitely not let these people go, and then I won't have to take action!"
"I'm the only one who's curious. Can this thing really extend your life by 20 years?" Wu Xie asked.
"Yes, if it's done properly, extending life by 30 years isn't a problem," Jiang Shen glanced at the results of the 000 scan. What can I say about this thing? It has its pros and cons!
Fatty Wang said curiously, "Tell me more about it!"
"The mermaid bone lamp is indeed made of mermaid bones. It was made by a Taoist priest. Of course, the Taoist priest who could make this thing is definitely not a good person. To customize such a lamp, at least hundreds or even thousands of mermaids would have died, not to mention so much lamp oil!
But everything in this world is causal and cyclical, and there is no such thing as free life. This thing can indeed prolong life when it burns, but it not only burns lamp oil, but also the family's luck. I just don't know what the conversion ratio of this thing is? If it is 1:5, it would be interesting! "Jiang Shen raised an eyebrow,
Cha Cha Wan: [Host, aren't you afraid that the Wang family will buy this thing?]
Jiang Shen: [Buy it! What does it have to do with me if they commit suicide?]
Raw Coconut Milk: [……]
After several rounds of bidding, one company lit up their sky lanterns, and the others followed suit, some even adding more!
"Wow! Even that great Buddha Zhang back then couldn't pull off a scene like this, right?" Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were completely stunned.
"Back then, Zhang Dafo also ordered three lanterns, and there were two competing families! Here, there are seven competing families, and the most ordered is already on the fourth lantern," Xie Yuchen said, listening to the bids. What should he say? It's not that he can't afford it, he just doesn't think it's necessary!
"The lanterns they light are palace lanterns after all. Although they are a bit old, they are made of fine materials and the workmanship is exquisite. The workmanship here is obviously more perfunctory, and this thing is actually a human skin lantern!" Jiang Shen glanced at the lanterns hanging in the box opposite. How to say it, it's hard to comment!
"This is quite perverted!" Fatty Wang shook his head.
In the end, this mermaid bone lamp was sold for 5 billion.
Jiang Shen saw that the auction was over, stood up and walked out.
"You guys go back first, I'm going to do something! Those little devils seemed to have taken a lot of great photos just now, I'll bring them back and take a look!" Jiang Shen said, "By the way, you guys take this kid back first, and remember to find a doctor to see him! He's so skinny!"
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang gave Jie Yuchen a look.
Wu Xie/Wang Pangzi: Don’t you take care of your servants?
Xie Yuchen: You guys are saying this as if I can control him?
Wu Xie/Wang Pangzi: This is the first time I’ve seen a boss who can’t manage his employees!
Xie Yuchen: Do you two want to die?
Wu Xie/Wang Pangzi: Wrong!
After Jiang Shen walked out of the auction place, he slapped a talisman on himself and rushed into the nearest woods.
"000, turn on the navigation mode and locate the specific coordinates of those devils at any time! I haven't killed any devils since I came to this world!" Jiang Shen's tone was full of excitement.
The little seal is a glutinous rice cake: [Sure enough, killing the little devils is a temptation that every Chinese person cannot refuse!]
