Five Elements Heaven

Mr. Chaoyang suddenly stopped and caught the butler's attention.

The butler was curious which treasure Mr. Chaoyang would choose. Although every item in the treasury is a rare treasure, there are also advantages and disadvantages. Each generation of family heads has different financial resources and luck, and their collections are also very different.

The steward in charge of managing the treasure house knows every treasure very well, but since Mr. Chaoyang didn't ask him, he wouldn't take the initiative to remind him.

He knew very well that people like Mr. Chaoyang were very opinionated, and it was best not to point fingers at will unless the other party asked.

Madam may have other ideas for offering such a big price, so I will be right if I observe it secretly.

When a person faces many choices, the final choice he makes can often tell something about that person's character. Especially when faced with a choice of such staggering value, character traits are often magnified.

What will he choose?

The housekeeper narrowed his eyes, and his inquiring and deep gaze fell on the back of the figure who suddenly stopped.

It looked like Mr. Chaoyang had found his target, or something had caught his attention.

Um?

The butler soon discovered that it was not what he thought. Because Mr. Chaoyang, who stopped, looked around as if he was looking for something.

Ai Hui was indeed searching when he stopped.

Because just now, the bandage that was almost forgotten by Ai Hui suddenly reacted. The bandage was a gift from the master's wife, and its origin has always been a mystery. So far, Ai Hui has been rescued several times. It showed blood-eating characteristics before, but as the pattern of blood eyes appeared on the bandage, the bandage began to be less interested in blood.

It seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, without any movement.

The texture is still difficult to damage with swords. Ai Hui once tried to destroy the bandage, but no matter what method he used, he could not damage it at all. Ai Hui didn't even know how the master's wife split it into two parts. Because of its excellent protective power, Ai Hui tied it around his body as the last layer of protection, which was very practical.

The bandage that had not moved for thousands of years suddenly moved, and Ai Hui was shocked.

His face remained impassive, but he was already looking around for the treasure that would cause the blood bandage to react. Ai Hui was filled with curiosity. Is there anything that could cause the bandage to react? Could it be some kind of blood-refined thing?

In Ai Hui's heart, bandages are absolutely cold and cold. He even cares about the quality of blood when he drinks it. He has no interest in ordinary blood.

Looking around, Ai Hui was dazzled by the shining lights.

The bandage was motionless.

Was it just an illusion?

Ai Hui tried to take two steps forward, but the bandage moved again.

Ai Hui perked up. The first move might have been an accident, but the second move was definitely not an accident. There must be something of interest to Bandage in the treasure house of Ye Mansion.

Aware of the butler's gaze behind him, Ai Hui slowed down and pretended to browse the treasures in front of him one by one.

The housekeeper was a little confused. He thought Mr. Chaoyang had found something he was interested in, but he only glanced at it.

He patiently followed behind Mr. Chaoyang. The treasure house of Ye Mansion was rich and it was a rare treat to appreciate it all over again. I had a customer in the past who savored every item in the treasure house from beginning to end.

Ai Hui pretended, taking two steps and then stopping to admire it slowly. When I encounter something I don’t know, I will ask the butler behind me. As expected, the butler knows everything about every item and answers all questions in great detail.

Although the reaction to the bandage was getting stronger and stronger, Ai Hui still couldn't help drooling when he saw these treasures. Every treasure is extremely precious, made from the highest quality materials, the finest masterpieces of a certain era, and rare and precious plants. Any piece of it will cause a stir if taken outside.

The housekeeper looked at the fiery gaze in Mr. Chaoyang's eyes and felt proud in his heart. He had already guessed that the selection of treasures this time would not be so fast. For such a precious opportunity, I would be extremely cautious. If you make the wrong choice, you will be so regretful that your intestines will turn green. There will never be a second chance like this.

Well, the bandage's response is diminishing, in the wrong direction.

Ai Hui pretended to be attracted by another treasure and changed the direction. After trying several directions in succession, I finally found the right direction again.

At this time, the bandage wrapped around Ai Hui's body was slowly rubbing and swimming like a snake.

The bandage's reaction was getting stronger.

Ai Hui didn't seem to be in a hurry because of this. He still seemed to be in no hurry. He was constantly attracted by the treasures along the way and kept asking the butler about various related matters. The desire in his eyes was unfaltering.

Just like this, Ai Hui and the housekeeper passed through the wooden frames and reached the deepest part of the treasure house.

Seeing Mr. Chaoyang's eyes falling on the deepest wooden shelves, he took the initiative and said: "This is the treasure trove of the first generation ancestors. Most of them are swords, but these swords are basically unusable now."

He thought Mr. Chaoyang was interested in these swords. Mr. Chaoyang was a swordsman and it was normal for him to be interested in swords. But as he just said, the only value of these rusty swords now is to be placed here for future generations to admire.

Mr. Chaoyang looked away from the swords, looking rather regretful.

It has to be said that the first-generation head of the family was the last pure swordsman after all, and he was very picky in choosing swords. Although these ancient swords are no longer usable, one can still vaguely see their unrivaled glory. Some of the swords had an indescribable killing intent, and it was a torture for the butler to clean them.

Mr. Chaoyang suddenly pointed to a stone statue next to where the ancient sword was placed: "What is the origin of this stone statue?"

The stone statue is very simple, carved from a single piece of granite. The knife workmanship is crude, with sharp edges and corners everywhere, and marks everywhere that look like chopping with a big axe. The face of the stone statue is blurred, like an unfinished product.

However, such a simple and rough stone statue has an indescribable charm that makes people look at it involuntarily.

Ai Hui felt something strange at first glance. He was so determined and had practiced the Tianxin Fire Lotus Lamp. The charm of his mind had no effect on him, but his eyes and mind were still attracted to this stone statue.

The housekeeper glanced at it and then quickly looked away: "This stone statue was acquired by chance in the early years of the first generation of the family, and I don't know who carved it. It is an ancient relic of the cultivation era. This stone statue has no name, but the first generation of the family said that it has a natural charm, so it must be It’s extraordinary, so keep it in the treasure house.”

The reaction of the bandage was extremely strong, as if I wanted to pounce on it.

It didn't look like there was any trace of blood refining. Ai Hui was a little confused and didn't know why the bandage reacted so strongly.

But there must be something weird about the stone statue!

Then I thought about it, if the stone statue didn't have some magical qualities, how would Ye Huitang put it in the treasure house?

Ai Hui pointed to the stone statue without hesitation and said, "I will choose it."

The housekeeper glanced at Mr. Chaoyang and hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Ai Hui asked, "Is it possible that I can't choose this?"

"That's not true. Since Madam has told you to choose one at will, then any one is fine." The butler shook his head: "This stone statue has a natural charm and has stayed in the treasure house for the longest time. It is one of the earliest treasures to be put into the treasure house. The first generation of family heads often indulged in observing the stone statues, and later generations of family heads also wanted to solve the mystery, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of time and energy, but so far no one has gained anything."

"Thanks for the advice." Ai Hui first thanked the butler, and then said: "Just choose this one. There are so many treasures, and this one is the most popular. Now with the Yuan Dan given by Madam, my realm is worry-free. There are countless treasures in the treasure house. But there is no good sword suitable for use. After thinking about it, this treasure is not bad. Maybe with luck, I will understand the secret of it? "

When the housekeeper heard Mr. Chaoyang's explanation, he also felt that it made some sense, except that the mystery of deciphering the stone statue made him quite dissatisfied. Which family head in the past generations was not extremely wise? How can a secret that has remained unsolved for thousands of years be cracked so easily?

Of course, he still said pleasant words: "I think Mr. Chaoyang will be able to decipher the secret with his intelligence. When the time comes, I ask Mr. Chaoyang to tell this old servant. The secret of the stone statue has tortured many generations."

Ai Hui smiled and said: "Haha, I appreciate your good words!"

The butler placed his palm on the wooden frame, his energy surged, the light flashed away, and the forbidden light disappeared.

Ai Hui could clearly see that these bans were very sophisticated. Even if outsiders broke into them, it would not be easy to break the ban. Moreover, Ai Hui had long noticed that the material used to construct the treasure house was very special and had the effect of isolating and suppressing Yuanli.

Ye Mansion is located in Yincheng. It has many masters and masters, so it can be said to be as solid as gold. Even if the visitor is extremely powerful, it is absolutely impossible to sneak in and steal the treasure without anyone noticing. If the movement is a little louder, it will attract the guards of Silver City, the strong men stationed there, and even the elders cultivating deep in the Silver Mist Sea.

As soon as the stone statue was in hand, the bandage on his body became quiet, but Ai Hui could feel the agitation under the quietness of the bandage.

The stone statue is about two feet tall, and because it is made of ordinary granite, its weight is completely light to Ai Hui. The tentacles were as cold as jade, not like rocks, but no matter how Ai Hui looked at them, they were the most ordinary granite, and he couldn't help but marvel.

The housekeeper couldn't help but smile when he saw Mr. Chaoyang turning the stone statue over and over.

"Mr. Chaoyang, do you want to continue watching?"

"No need! Now that you've made your choice, don't look at it to avoid feeling uncomfortable!"

"Haha, that's right!"

study.

Mrs. Ye asked with interest: "What did he choose?"

The housekeeper said respectfully: "The nameless stone statue left by the first owner."

"Stone statue?" Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment. She had thought about many treasures that Chu Chaoyang would choose, but she never thought that he would choose that unknown stone statue.

The housekeeper repeated Mr. Chaoyang's explanation, word for word.

Mrs. Ye's expression was much more relaxed, but she still warned: "Pay more attention."

The butler resigned knowingly. (To be continued.)
