Everyone said they didn’t believe it. Who said seeing it with one’s own eyes means seeing it is believing?
Because this violates two natural common senses.
First, such a small iron ax can never be so heavy!
Second, it was impossible for Xiao Ye to hold such a heavy iron ax in his hand, as it was as light as nothing.
In modern terms, it is unscientific.
And when something goes wrong, there must be something wrong.
Let’s first weigh the weight of this axe.
Nowadays, there is no scale that can weigh a thousand kilograms at a time. Moreover, this is a battleship, not a cargo ship, and there is no scale at all.
But there is a large lever on the ship for adjusting cargo, so it can be used as a scale. On one side, a rope is used to lift the axe, and on the other side, a two-hundred-jin grain bag is used as a weight, which is hung one by one with a large iron hook.
After a total of seven bags of grain were hung, the lever was slowly raised...
No issues with the weight!
Then the problem lies with Xiao Ye, so everyone looked at Xiao Ye again as if he had seen a ghost.
"Fake!" The little parrot said something rude, expressing the big guy's thoughts.
But this should be a good thing, right?
Because no matter whether Xiao Ye is a human, a god, a monster, or a ghost, he belongs to us!
A burst of cheers broke out in the silence. From Ibrahimovic down, all the soldiers knelt on one knee and paid Xiao Ye the highest respect in the army.
Just one word, obey!
Only Saburo Yokoto was not convinced, staring at Xiao Ye's luck with his small eyes.
"Why are you not convinced by General Xiao Ye, Mr. Hengdu?" Saji Zuoyama asked.
"I'm not convinced!" Yokoto Saburo raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes.
"Then you go and test your strength with him." Fu Yan said with a smile.
"I can't compete with him, but I'm just not convinced!" Saburo Yokowatari said loudly.
Just so stubborn.
Just like Ling'er, after his stubbornness reached the sky, a big turtle shell was sold for a sky-high price!
"Xiao Ye, come here and help me split this turtle shell in half. One half belongs to me and the other half belongs to Ling'er. Look for the center of the split. Don't be partial to your sister Ling'er!" Xiao Chen called Xiao Ye over.
Make signs on the turtle's shell to tell him where to place the axe.
"Wait!" Ling'er came over and pulled Xiao Ye away.
"We have high-fived each other and so many people are watching. You little girl wants to regret it again!" Xiao Chen was furious.
"I'm not regretting it, but brother, you have to explain to me why you spent so much money to buy this crap...ahem, this treasure of mine?" Ling'er needed an explanation.
"Yes, Xiao Chen, you must have a reason for spending ten thousand taels of gold, right? If you don't explain it clearly, our brothers will not feel at ease, and everyone will think that you are crazy.
You said that everyone is following you to risk their lives. If you are crazy, who will dare to do things with you in the future?" Shangguan Qiji's words are reasonable.
Everyone also said that boss, you should explain it. After all, this matter is too abnormal. We didn’t say it with our mouths, but we were muttering in our hearts.
"Oh? Is that so?" Xiao Chen glanced at everyone, "Then let me tell you?"
Everyone nodded and talked.
"Everyone, haven't you all heard about the dragon giving birth to nine sons?" Xiao Chen cleared his throat, adjusted his tone, assumed a knowledgeable posture, and adopted the tone of a teaching lecture.
This is a hypothetical question. Of course everyone knows that dragons give birth to nine sons, but they don’t know what you mean by asking?
So it doesn’t matter if I nod my head or shake my head, I’ll just listen to you and continue talking.
"The dragon gives birth to nine sons, and there is a dragon inside. Its skin is tough and can be used to cover the drum. If you hit it with a hammer, the sound can be heard for hundreds of miles. This is the so-called drum. The emperor once gave me a poem. In the poem,"
The wind blows the drum, the mountains and rivers move, the lightning flashes, the flags are high, the sun and the moon are high. The drum in the middle refers to the drum with the skin of the dragon and the curtain!"
Xiao Chen paused as he spoke. Normally there should be applause here.
But everyone was so absorbed in listening that they didn’t even applaud...
"The turtle dragon has a long life, and can live up to ten thousand years old! It's almost the same as our Emperor Zhou... Hehehe, it sheds its shell every one thousand years, which is the big turtle shell we guys see.
, The thousand-year-old tortoise shell has twenty-four ribs, which are produced in response to the twenty-four solar terms in the sky. Here, these are the ones one by one."
Xiao Chen was giving a speech and teaching on the spot. The guys followed his fingers and saw that there were twelve arm-thick ribs on both sides of the turtle shell. The total was twenty-four. There were also ribs at the root.
There is a bulge the size of a bowl.
"Here comes the key," Xiao Chen motioned everyone to listen carefully. "At the end of the ribs, inside these big bulges, twenty-four orbs will be born according to the solar terms. These orbs have absorbed the spiritual energy of the sun and moon for thousands of years.
What we have accomplished is a priceless treasure that we cherish to the fullest!”
Huh? Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Is there such a thing?
I just heard that old clams give birth to pearls, how come old turtles can still give birth to beads!
Not to mention that I have never seen anything, but I have never heard of it.
Real or fake?
"A brother asked, why has no one ever seen this kind of pearl?" Xiao Chen looked at the big guy expectantly, and waited for others to raise their hands to ask.
Everyone is thinking, who asked you?
But since the boss said so, he had to join in the fun and ask him to step down. Ibrahimovic raised his hand high, "Why is that, boss?"
"Yes, why?" Xiao Chen nodded happily, asking and answering himself, "Just because every time the dragon takes off its tortoise shell, it will swallow all the orbs back into its stomach, so almost no one in the world has seen it, so what?
A brother asked if the orb in the turtle shell is still there? Yes, for what reason? Because it is very complete..."
"There are so many reasons, why don't you just break them open and take a look? Wan Chun, here comes the knife!" Shangguan Qiji heard this, scratching his ears and cheeks, feeling unbearably itchy. He couldn't wait to reach out and ask Fu Yan to borrow the knife, and was about to chop it open.
, to see if there are any orbs inside?
"You can't do it, my fat brother!" Xiao Chen quickly stopped him, "If you chop the orb with a knife like this, is it mine or Ling'er's?"
"Go away! Those who are watching the excitement should stay away!" Ling'er came over and roughly pushed Shangguan Qiji away.
"Stay away, you fat man!" the little parrot shouted.
"Hey, hey, hey! Please come forward!" Shangguan Qiji was not angry at all. He bowed and backed away, with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Then why do we need to split it? Why don't we just dig out the beads?" Ling'er was already feeling itchy and pulled out a lancet.
"That's fine." Xiao Chen originally wanted to make a fortune in silence, but since he has exposed it in public, he can simply dig it out, but he can't let Ling'er do it. This little girl broke the orb with her hands and feet, and she is not stubborn.
!
I ordered people to get some saws, and I found some skilled and older ship-repairing craftsmen, and personally directed them to move slowly around the big bulge.
Don't be anxious, be slow and steady.
If any of you breaks my boss's orb, I will throw you into the sea. I am not kidding!
