Anyway, Su Tong's hands were empty now. She could just wait for Xia Mo to come back after ordering. She went forward and picked up the stool. She was instantly stunned. A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared. She looked down and saw the same orange treasure light shining brightly, illuminating the dilapidated appearance.
Xia Mo was delighted. At this moment, he had also ordered food." Su Tong, are you addicted to moving? Old Gu had called to rush them, saying that Old Yu and the others had already arrived!”
He came up and pulled Su Tong away. Su Tong quickly took the strange flower pot from the car and placed it on the wooden stool. It seemed a little too eye-catching to just take away two treasures. To be safe, he asked Xia Mo to help carry the two pots that were the best bloomed. Xia Mo might look like a rich young master, but even if he grumbled about his unwillingness, he still did as he was told.
"Brothers, why don't we drive you?”They were basically done with moving. Seeing that their hands were full, the driver wanted to help them bring them back in the car.
"No need. It's just a few steps around the corner.”Xia Mo raised his chin to indicate the approximate location of Gu's old house and urged Su Tong to leave quickly.
Su Tong thanked her master for the flowers, and the two of them left in a hurry.
The young woman was so anxious that she couldn't say anything. She could only watch as Xia Mo, this handsome and rich man, left, and she was filled with hatred.
When they returned to Old Gu's courtyard, their foreheads were already covered in sweat. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw that everyone was waiting there, especially an old man with white hair. He wore a string of beads on his left wrist. There were 108 beads, which represented the number of stars in the sky. It was also the sum of 36 Heavenly Stars and 72 Earthly Fiends.
Three unfamiliar middle-aged men stood behind him. They had rushed over with Elder Yu.
Su Tong and Xia Mo were a little flustered with such a large group of people waiting for them." Why aren't you guys sitting in the house? Why are you standing in the yard?"”
"Old Yu and the others are in a hurry to see the thing, but the owner of the thing isn't here. It's not appropriate for Taichu and I to take over.”Old Gu was a little angry and amused when he saw the two young men carrying a few pots of dirty flowers back with sweat all over their heads. Old Yu and the others had rushed over on the nearest flight, but they were standing in the courtyard waiting for the two kids." We went out to order food. Why are you making us look like monkeys? You're making Old Yu wait so long. Hurry up and put down your things and come in to wash your hands."”
Xia Mo dragged out his complaints." Elder Gu, Elder Yu, I'm innocent!" I don't know what's wrong with Su Tong, but he insisted on helping others move. Even I was pulled by him to be a coolie.”
"Help someone move?"
"It's all because of his wife…"
Su Tong heard that Xia Mo had nothing good to say, so she quickly interrupted him." Old Gu, don't listen to his nonsense. Elder Yu and the others are in a hurry to see the things. Let's hurry in.”
The others went into the house while Su Tong and Xia Mo went to wash their hands.
"You're quite good at pretending." Xia Mo elbowed Su Tong.
"What? Can you stop guessing?”Su Tong was helpless. She turned the faucet and flipped her hands up and down under the dryer.
The hairdryer buzzed and Xia Mo walked over to dry his hands. He hooked his arm around Su Tong's neck and said,""I'll let you off for now, but don't blame me for not reminding you. You can't handle a woman like that.”
Su Tong couldn't be bothered to argue with him. In the hall, an exquisite wooden box containing the Pill Wood was placed on the table.
"Now that Su Tong is here, Old Yu, just watch.”Old Gu chuckled as he reminded Elder Yu, who was already unable to hide his excitement.
Elder Yu and the three staff members he brought were extremely cautious. They put on thin gloves and carefully removed the wooden carving from the wooden box. The place where the blade had scratched was still clear. The blood-like resin had already coagulated, just like the human body's self-healing blood clot function. A drop of bright red liquid had coagulated and gathered.
The few of them used a magnifying glass to study it carefully. From time to time, they would quietly exchange opinions with each other. There was no need to guess the outcome of the exchange. Just from Elder Yu's excited expression, one could tell.
Su Tong could almost see the tears in Elder Yu's eyes. Elder Yu reached out his hand." Su Tong, right?”
"Hello, Elder Yu!" Su Tong knew the identity of the person who had come. What a joke. The leader of the domestic Taoism was right in front of him. He was a little nervous and quickly stretched out his hand.
"Good! Sure!" Elder Yu held Su Tong's hand tightly and patted his shoulder with his other hand. It was probably because he had been practicing martial arts all year round to strengthen his body. Elder Yu's grip was quite strong, and Su Tong's fingers were a little painful from Elder Yu's excitement.
"Brother De Yong, you truly have a discerning eye.”Elder Yu sighed. His hands that were holding the wooden carving trembled slightly as if he was holding a sacred object." Su Shanxin has done a great deed for finding such a precious treasure!”
Su Tong was terrified by this evaluation." Elder Yu, I really don't deserve this. Old Gu, Uncle Wang, and Xia Mo were all there. It was really just a coincidence.”
"It also shows that the opportunity with our Taoist Faction is not shallow. On behalf of the association, I would like to thank Su Shanxin.”
As he spoke, Elder Yu gently put down the wooden carving and stood straight like the other three. His heart was focused, and his hands were folded in front of his abdomen. From bottom to top, his body bent into a crescent shape and made a "round bow".
This time, Su Tong was really panicking. Elder Yu and the other two were nearly 200 years old. How could he dare to accept such a bow? He wanted to turn around to avoid the bow, but was stopped by Elder Gu." Don't move. You can accept this bow."”
After Elder Yu and the others bowed, they straightened their bodies. A staff member of the association who came with Elder Yu echoed Elder Gu,"That's right. That incomplete sword had been worshipped for more than three hundred years, and it was hard to expect such a supreme treasure to appear again. Su Shanxin has done a great favor to our Taoist Faction.”
The first few sentences were fine, but the more Su Tong listened, the more uneasy she became. She did not know if she was thinking too much, but from her tone, it sounded as if she had already donated the things. She felt a little anxious.
Xia Mo helped to change the topic." Elder Yu, I heard from Elder Gu that a bird like the Scarlet Pheasant can help a cultivator avoid the lightning and fire tribulation by eating this pill wood. I haven't heard enough yet. Tell us more about it."”
Elder Yu was in an extremely good mood. He laughed and said,"Every time you see me, you have to pester me to listen to stories. Old Gu had only mentioned the Scarlet Pheasant, but there were actually two other types of birds that had this ability.
On Mount Fuyu, not far from Mount Xiaohua, lived another kind of big bird. It looked a little like a kingfisher and had a red beak. Its name was the Jing Bird, and it was also a divine bird that could resist the evil fire of both the human and heaven worlds.
According to the theory of yin and yang, the five elements, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, had fire properties that radiated heat, symbolizing the south. It was pungent in taste and red in color, so almost all fire properties were red, like chili peppers and red peels in vegetables.”
