After the meeting at the Zhang Residence, Wenshan and Jie Jiu also got to know each other.
"Everyone is here. Tell me how to bring the medicinal herbs back from the New Moon Hotel.”Zhang Qishan looked at Jie Jiu and said.
Xie Jiu looked at the crowd. Eighth Master, Third Master, Second Master, Lord Zeng, and Wenshan. Seeing that none of them had any intention of starting, he could only start by himself.
"The New Moon Hotel is the largest treasure auction house in Beiping. You need an invitation to enter and exit. The owner's background and power are unfathomable. We can only use legitimate means to get the rare herbs. In other words, according to the New Moon Hotel's rules: Holding a special invitation to participate in the auction. However, the specially made invitations had already been sent to the invited people half a month ago. "Therefore, we can only snatch the invitation from these people.”Xie Jiu spoke of the information he had gathered and the case.
"Do you have a target?" Zhang Qishan knew that Xie Jiu was a person. Since he had said the method, there must be a plan behind it.
"My subordinates received news that a wealthy businessman is going to the New Moon Hotel. He has an invitation card. His surname is Peng, and others call him Peng Sanbian." Jie Jiu said that someone had an invitation.
"I've heard of Peng Sanbian. He made his fortune in Silver Stream by using the sand. He's very rich and powerful. His kung fu is very good. No one in the northwest can withstand more than three whips.”Zhang Qishan seemed to have heard of this person.
"I've heard of this Peng Sanbian in my early years. He's in his thirties, and he's a tyrant in the northwest. He's extremely despicable, and he's skilled in whipping. No one in the northwest dares to provoke him. It won't be easy to snatch this invitation from him.”Eighth Qi also shared his understanding.
"Ha, he really has a fierce reputation. This time, my legs are inconvenient, so I'll have to trouble Wenshan to make this trip for me.”Third Master said to Wenshan apologetically.
Zhang Qishan and the others glanced at Wenshan after hearing that. Wenshan reacted and said,""Since Third Master thinks so highly of me, I will definitely do my best.”
Xie Jiu thought for a moment and said,"If we forcefully snatch it, it will hurt our harmony. It seems that we can only use our wits."”
"There are still three days before the auction. Changsha is far from Beiping. We must set off tomorrow and snatch the invitation letter from Peng Sanbian on his route.”Zhang Qishan said calmly.
After that, everyone discussed how to snatch the invitation…
"Are we really unable to kill him?" Half Li asked gloomily.
"We've already let him down by snatching his invitation letter. It's not very kind of us to kill him again.”Er Yue Hong said with a frown.
"I can seal his acupoints with golden needles and make him unable to move for a few hours, but it's not easy for me to use it on the train.”Wenshan didn't know Qinggong or movement techniques, so he could only say impatiently.
"You can receive them from outside and deal with the subordinates of Three Whip Peng. I believe that with Second Master's lightness skill and skills, getting an invitation letter shouldn't be a big deal.”Xie Jiu adjusted his glasses and said. The last sentence was the main point. As expected of someone who had lived in such an environment for a long time. He had seen a lot and his personality had been influenced a lot.
"There's one more thing that needs to be prepared, and that is funds. The target this time was the thousand-year-old rare Kirin Dry and Deer Grass. They were priceless. If there were rich people competing, they would probably need a lot of money.”Xie Jiu continued.
"Even if I have to go bankrupt, I must get those two rare dishes.”Er Yue Hong's eyes were like torches as he said with a very firm expression.
Half Li did not speak, but the expression on his face was firm.
" We can't delay any further. Everyone, go back and prepare. We can't have too many people in this operation. Changsha is already in chaos. Wenshan, Second Master, and I will take action. We will set off early tomorrow morning. Master Eight still needed to pay attention to the situation at the mine. This operation had to be concealed and not made public.”Seeing that the matter had been discussed, Zhang Qishan ordered everyone to go back and prepare. At the same time, he made arrangements. It could be seen that he was a general.
Wenshan did not expect that he would replace Qi Ba in the original drama during this trip to Beiping. He did not know if there would be a twist in the plot and unexpected things would happen. He only hoped that there would be no butterfly effect.
After leaving the house, Wenshan was called along by Half-Li. After going to Li San's house, he was directly brought to the secret chamber of the Li family.
The shelves of the entire secret chamber were filled with all kinds of underworld artifacts. The leather boxes and wooden boxes on the ground were filled with jewelry and gold. There were also famous paintings hanging on the walls. Wenshan was dazzled by them. As expected of a century-old family, they had a rich heritage.
"These are all the Li family's immovable assets that have been accumulated for a hundred years.”Third Master said to Wenshan proudly.
"Third Master's family is indeed a big family. Why are most of these items from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but only one or two from other dynasties?”Wenshan scanned these antique netherworld artifacts with his spiritual mirror.
"Your eyesight is very good." Half-Li praised him and paused for a moment before continuing,"You might not know this, but for the Nine Gates to be able to become a seemingly loose but actually united organization, there must be a set of rules within the Nine Gates. However, when they fought, everyone would study or act together. The mechanisms and structures of ancient tombs studied by each sect were different. There would inevitably be different insights into the cultural relics and mechanisms of each dynasty, just like the martial arts of different sects in the martial arts world. If they encountered a dynasty tomb, they would use that tomb as the main source of income. Moreover, they would get 70% of the income from that tomb. The remaining three floors would also have the priority to purchase the tomb at a fixed price, and the final profit would be distributed to the others.”Third Master told Wenshan the rules of the Nine Gates.
"Just like how Second Master's family knows Nan Bei Chao's tomb?”Wenshan asked.
"That's right. Lord Zeng's Zhang family has done a rather in-depth research on the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty or before the Han Dynasty. Second Master's Hong family is familiar with the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and my Li family is familiar with the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Three Gates of Peace had a relatively low background and their heads were frequently changed, so it was hard to say. However, most of their activities were in the tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The lower three sects were more keen on trading the underworld artifacts under the sun. They liked to do business and were familiar with all the dynasty's artifacts. Among them, the Xie family was more interested in the Song Dynasty's artifacts, but their research on the tomb's mechanisms was not as profound as the first six sects. They only relied on some technological power and their brains to loot gold.”Third Master continued to introduce.
"Oh, I understand. Thank you, Third Master.”Wenshan cupped his fists.
Third Master waved his hand, stared at Wenshan, and said seriously,""I hope that Wenshan will bring back those two herbs from this trip to Beiping.”
"Third Master, don't worry. I will do my best to bring back the treasures.”Wenshan once again guaranteed that even if he did not make a move, he believed that Er Yuehong would still risk his life.
"Then choose two of these items. Consider it my gift. Please don't reject it.”Third Master pointed at these antiques and treasures and said to Wenshan with a smile.
"Alright, thank you." Wenshan did not refuse.
When Wenshan used the spiritual mirror to search for antiques with energy, he actually made a good discovery.
After all, antiques from the Tang Dynasty were objects that had existed for thousands of years. The energy contained in them was definitely not small. Basically, as long as a famous person or a palace object was well preserved, it would have some energy. However, it was not much. Some had a few cubes of energy, while some had dozens of cubes of energy. There were nearly ten such treasures in the Li Family.
Wenshan was overjoyed. He wanted to choose the two items that contained the most energy, but his gaze was suddenly attracted by a rusty short sword. The sword had a yellow scabbard and was a little rusty. It was only 40 centimeters long. He took it from the sword rack and unsheathed it. The sword was white and dull, but there were some strange patterns and incomprehensible symbols.
"Spirit Mirror!"
[Gold and Silver Magic Sword: Middle-grade magic weapon, refined by Master Zhang of the Heavenly Master Mountain. It counters ghosts and zombies, and its damage is doubled. It is exceptionally strong.]
Wenshan was very surprised. It turned out to be a middle-grade magic tool. However, because the magic power on it was gone, it looked very ugly and unsightly. It was also his fault for only caring about energy items and neglecting these magic treasures. It seemed that he could no longer use the energy contained in them to appraise the value of items in the future.
"Wenshan is interested in this gold and silver sword? I can't tell where this sword came from. I only know that it has a silver blade and a golden hilt. It hasn't been sharpened yet, and its lethality isn't even as good as an ordinary dagger.”Third Master introduced this gold and silver sword to Wenshan in case Wenshan made a wrong choice and did not repay his favor.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Third Master to be so wrong. Actually, it's no wonder. You haven't seen a real Mystic Gate magic item, right?”As he spoke, Wenshan infused his Genuine Qi into the Gold and Silver Magic Sword. Suddenly, the body of the sword flashed with a yellow light, scaring Half-Li into quickly raising his hand to cover it. Meanwhile, the rust on the hilt of the magic sword in Wenshan's hand gradually fell off, and the light emitted by the sword gradually weakened. After reaching a certain level, it maintained its fluorescent light. It was miraculous.
