Chapter 732: Seizing the Jade(1/2)
When the maid who was leading the way saw him suddenly stop, she couldn't help but turn around and asked curiously: "Is this guest also interested in the items for the third round of auction?"
She felt very contemptuous in her heart, even though the benefactor on the fourth floor had said that she would pay all the expenses for his auction tonight.
But ten thousand top-quality spiritual stones have already helped him achieve purification and he is still not satisfied. This person seems to be too ignorant of praise.
Balian lowered his head and said nothing, his black and white eyes flickering slightly, like broken ice gently colliding in the stream.
"Guest?" Seeing that his expression was almost eerily calm, the maid couldn't help but call out softly.
"Let's go." He finally said, no longer looking at the auction table, and disappeared into the night together with the maid.
The prices for the items in the third round of auctions have been quoted for a long time, but no one bids.
Countless pairs of eyes looked at the corpse in the purple gold coffin with curiosity and exploration.
The corpse had its hands folded on its chest, and a dagger-like dagger was stuck in front of its heart. It must have been a fatal wound.
The dagger cannot be seen in its entirety. It is tightly wrapped in black talisman paper, and only the rough outline of the sword body can be seen clearly.
The ancient corpse sleeping in the coffin looks like its skeleton has not fully grown, and it should be that of a half-grown boy.
He was wearing a blue crane cloak and a wide robe, and his face was covered with a palm-wide forged belt embroidered with golden dragon patterns, which covered most of the young man's already thin and shriveled cheeks, making it difficult to distinguish his facial features.
And this outfit is obviously an extremely standard ancient funeral dress.
There were no other funerary objects in the coffin. It must have been plundered early by Yu Lou, who ate people but did not spit out bones.
But everyone looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see what was so rare about this ancient corpse.
100,000 top-quality spiritual stones. No one in the entire auction except the wealthy guest on the fourth floor could bring out so many spiritual stones at once.
Although the purple gold coffin is extremely precious, it is not worth the price of 100,000 top-quality spiritual stones.
"Miss Zhuli, can you give us a detailed introduction to the origin of this corpse? Which immortal family is he? What is his previous cultivation level? What kind of treasure is hidden in the corpse?"
The auctioneer's maid Zhu Li chuckled and said: "What I can tell you is that this thing is only sold to those who are destined. Even if no one bids tonight, I, Yulou, will continue to keep this coffin in the building for future collection."
Lord, as for the rest, please forgive me for having no comment.”
I would rather not sell this thing tonight than tell the origin of this corpse. What is even more shocking is that Yulou has never had an auction night, leaving a precedent of continuing to treasure it until the next auction.
The items Yu Loufan auctions are all extremely sought-after treasures in the world. They will never fail to sell out overnight and leave a month to sell them.
Not to mention huge hidden objects like the Yu Tower, even the most common auction houses in the world will treat goods that cannot be auctioned as defective goods, regardless of their value. If the auction ends, there will always be no one to bid.
All will be destroyed.
Such an operation is simply unheard of?!
The old slave behind Ying Xiu suddenly came closer. The pinprick-sized pupils in his eyes had completely disappeared. He said softly: "Your Highness, is the face of this corpse 90% similar to His Highness?"
Ying Xiu's eyes narrowed sharply, and he quickly looked back at the old slave coldly: "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"This old slave will not be mistaken."
Ying Xiu took a deep breath, feeling very confused. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Is it just the appearance? How is the bone appearance?"
The old slave's expression was normal, but he lowered his stooped waist lower: "The bones are not even close to each other."
Ying Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
This old slave was a general slave that he personally selected. Because he was too murderous during his lifetime, he was a famous murderer on the battlefields of various countries five hundred years ago. He swallowed the evil energy of the world and created a ghostly disaster.
Later, because he did too many evil things, he was subdued by the King of Zhongyouyin and sealed in the Jidao Pavilion.
Recently, Ying Xiuxu's seal was lost, and he failed to subdue Yougui Lang. He even missed Taiyin Emperor's Ghost Weeping Bead. What made him even more miserable was that the boy's skill he had practiced for two hundred years was also broken in Xianling City.
In the past six months, the female disciples of Nanzong went to Zhongyou one after another, crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves, which annoyed him greatly.
If he were an ordinary troublemaker, he would have been dragged out of the city and dragged to death by a random horse. But it happened that this girl was responsible for this matter. If he killed him for no reason, how would the world think of him?
What's even more irritating is that Du Yicui took advantage of such a night of rain and dew to brazenly advertise that she was the woman of Prince Zhongyou and that she was pregnant with his heir.
Then she was instigated by those teachers with narrow vision in the sect, and she even thought of herself as the Crown Princess of Zhongyou.
Ying Xiu is extremely disgusted with this kind of ugly, vain, and villainous female disciple of the third-rate sect.
More than a month ago, that woman didn't know where she got the news that Yin Baishuang, who had been traveling all over the world and made his home, suddenly returned to the palace gate.
After Du Yicui, who had made a big fuss in the Zhongyou Dynasty, heard the news, he unexpectedly came to Miss Yin's door to trouble her, and asked her for the black jade in her waist, thinking that she was the one who was responsible for it.
The real woman of Prince Zhongyou, the owner of this jade.
No one in the Zhongyou Dynasty knew that the black jade on Yin Baishuang's waist was given to her by Young Master Tianxi when she was young.
Although the young master of Tianxi did not explain the meaning of the jade when he gave it to him, this black jade was a gem that Emperor Taiyin took from his imperial crown and was given to Empress Yingji on the day she married Tianxi.
She is used as a dowry.
Later, when Young Master Tianxi was born, this jade was used for personal protection, and was passed on to her and the sword master's only child.
When the child was sixteen years old, this jade pendant symbolizing the future crown princess of Zhongyou fell into Yin Baishuang's hands.
Although the eldest lady of Cangwu Palace was later pressured by her father to make a marriage alliance with the young master Taiyuan of the Ghost Sect, two hundred years later, Empress Zhongyou never asked Cangwu Palace to hand over the black jade.
Her attitude naturally acquiesces that the owner of this jade pendant is Yin Baishuang, and she deserves it.
It's just that it has been more than two hundred years since the black jade was given away. If the empress recognized Yin Baishuang as Zhongyou's prospective daughter-in-law, why didn't she hold the wedding for so long?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Instead, she was allowed to live in a state of drunkenness and dreams, traveling all over the mountains and rivers crazily.
Ying Xiu didn't know why she was reluctant to marry Zhong Youlai since she had accepted Black Jade. Even after the Taiyuan Ghost Sect was destroyed, the relationship between the two inexplicably turned from close to distant.
He just thought that his father Yin Dufeng was prejudiced against the people of the Zhongyou Dynasty, and he failed to protect her during her marriage to Guimen, which made her feel disappointed and angry.
But for two hundred years, Jade has never left her body, and she has never denied her identity as the Crown Princess of Zhongyou. This also makes Ying Xiu very relieved, but there is no need to be too anxious.
Nowadays, the relationship between Zhongyou and Tianxi is like fire and water, and they are in a dilemma. His father is angry that he used to control ghosts and kill people and always disowned him.
Now he is just the prince of Zhongyou, not the young master of Tianxi.
Ying Xiu felt that even if he married her in the future, she would be stigmatized. It was better to seek glory and fame first and win her father's approval, which would give her a status that would be envied by everyone in the world.
It’s just that damn woman from the Tiannan Sect!
She actually went to Cangwu Palace secretly to ask for the jade, claiming to be the future crown princess of Zhongyou, and relying on the fact that she had his child in her belly, she dared to show off her power and bossy in front of Shuang'er, without even looking at her identity!
He really dares to covet anything!
Fortunately, his Shuang'er was not someone to be manipulated and bullied. She was not at all polite to that woman Du Yicui, and beat that ignorant woman to tears with just an unsheathed sword.
Father calls mother.
The shock caused Du Yicui to have a huge psychological shadow on the eldest lady, and he never dared to say a single word of harm to her again after returning to Zhongyou.
This made Yingxiu feel very relaxed, and he felt like he was letting out bad breath.
Although his romantic affair was brought to Yin Baishuang, which made him feel very guilty and uneasy.
But when he learned that she had actually taught Du Yicui a severe lesson, he felt secretly proud, almost like a man's pride.
Although Yin Baishuang has had a bad reputation in the past two hundred years and ordinary people dare not provoke him, he is still a principled person.
If he wasn't really jealous and secretly jealous, how could he be so cruel to a pregnant person?
In these years, although she didn't say it, Ying Xiu could feel that she still cared about his every move in her heart.
But after this incident, Du Yicui fell in love with him even more.
This made Ying Xiu disgusted every day he saw her face.
However, this woman can make trouble and cry. Now everyone in the Immortal Sect knows that he and the Tiannan Sect are messing up, which makes Ying Xiu very angry.
He has always been clean and self-sufficient. Although he comes from a quiet place, he enjoys the reputation of a gentleman among all the countries in the world. He is called the jade tree of Taoism by the world, and he is a good husband that thousands of women look forward to marrying.
Now that she is fine, her good reputation has been ruined for many years. Although he thought of giving her a bowl of cold soup to make her abandon her child.
At worst, it won't be difficult to solve the problem by making up for some of her losses and supporting the third-rate sect forces behind her.
Although this woman is stupid, the sect behind her is not stupid. The power behind Zhongyou Imperial City is Zunxian, and Yingxiu is the grandson of Taiyin Emperor. These powers are not those high-ranking families in the mortal world.
It is impossible to think that mother is more valuable than son.
If we can use this to establish a line with Zhongyou and retain some self-awareness, even if Tiannan Sect can become a first-rate Immortal Sect force in the future, it is not without hope.
However, this matter happened to be known to all the people on the other side, Lady Ying Ji. After all, she was a mother, so she couldn't bear to force her own child to force an innocent girl to abandon her son and have an abortion.
Empress Ying Ji, who knew this, scolded Ying Xiu.
The Zhongyou Dynasty tolerated millions of lonely souls and wild ghosts, but now that it’s your own child, why can’t you tolerate it?!
Yingxiu was really helpless, and he couldn't disobey Lady Yingji's orders. She was pestering her all day long, so he simply refused to do anything and released the most ferocious ghost in Jidao Pavilion to form a spiritual contract.
It was the old slave next to him, Belito.
It is an evil ghost and a hungry ghost. It has a sinister spirit all over its body and can eat similar ghosts, making people avoid them in fear.
If you stay close to your body for a long time, you will be invaded by its ghostly energy, and you will have nightmares day and night, and your energy and spirit will be devoured in the nightmares.
Du Yicui was deeply afraid of Belito and did not dare to pester Ying Xiu day and night.
Belito was born with ghost eyes and could see the true signs of corpses.
Since he said that the ancient corpse in the coffin was not even remotely similar to his Ying Xiu, he probably was not from the Zhongyou royal family.
