Everyone knows that the Zhuge family has an innate spiritual treasure, but there are not many people who know that the spiritual treasure is a fan...
"Crazy Fan" is the name of this innate spiritual treasure.
Back then, the first patriarch of the Zhuge family went out to travel and got this crazy fan by chance. After that, he used this crazy fan to kill everyone and achieved supreme hegemony. Later, this crazy fan was used as a suppressor.
The family treasure has been passed down.
Under the blessing of Fan Fan, the power of the Zhuge family grew stronger and stronger, and eventually became a major force in Tiangong Star.
It's a pity that the descendants of the Zhuge family are so unsatisfactory that they have ruined the huge family fortune. The current Zhuge family looks glorious from the outside, but in fact it is completely rotten on the inside.
Fortunately, the crazy fans were able to deter other forces from overly forcing the Zhuge family.
The new patriarch Zhuge Liuyun is a man with great ambitions. His dream is to restore the Zhuge family's previous power. It is easy to think about it in your head, but it is difficult to put it into action. It is really difficult. First of all, the family
The internal staff are not united, and there are also various forces outside who are constantly causing trouble, making Zhuge Liuyun miserable.
Sometimes, Zhuge Liuyun really wanted to give up his career, but he held it back later. He was not a person who gave up easily. Since he chose this path, he would go all the way to the dark side, even if he was shattered into pieces in the end.
Not afraid.
Under Zhuge Liuyun's governance, the family has improved slightly, but there is still a long way to go before it can restore its former glory.
There is a saying that when the house leaks, it rains all night.
Just some time ago, the Zhuge family suffered a heavy blow and lost a large sum of money. Later, they were tricked and owed a high debt. In order to stabilize the family, Zhuge Liuyun planned to use the treasured stones to pay off the debt.
, but encountered opposition from many elders.
In the end, Zhuge Liuyun thought of a compromise, which was to invite a group of people who are well versed in the art of stone gambling to come to the family to identify the stones. If these stones are indeed treasures and contain unique treasures, then they will not be moved. On the contrary,
If the appraisal result is that...these stones are superficial and not treasures, then they must be disposed of.
Zhuge Liuyun's proposal was supported by most people. Of course, there were also a few old antiques who desperately opposed it. In the end, Zhuge Liuyun used the power of the clan leader to suppress it.
This time Zhuge Liuyun really went all out. He invited all the famous stone gamblers to his family and served them well. No matter what requests these stone gamblers made, Zhuge Liuyun tried his best to agree. He was so pleased with these gamblers.
Stone masters just hope that these stone gambling masters can do their best when identifying stones.
…
Ma Xiaoyao looked at Gao Shanshui in surprise: "Mr. Gao, how do you know so detailedly?"
"This... I have my own information channel." Gao Shanshui said for the first time: "Please forgive me, Mr. Ma, because it involves some secret things, so I can't tell you the truth."
"Oh... I understand, I understand." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Actually, Mr. Gao can tell me this, which makes me very satisfied."
"Just know these things yourself and don't spread them out, otherwise... you and I will be in big trouble." Gao Shanshui warned.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gao, I know the importance of things." Ma Xiaoyao said with a smile.
"Chief Zhuge has arrived!"
Suddenly there was a shout at the door. Everyone looked up and saw an old man with white hair walking into the hall with steady steps. This old man was none other than Zhuge Liuyun, the patriarch of the Zhuge family.
"I'm sorry to have kept everyone waiting for so long." Zhuge Liuyun walked quickly to the middle, and then hugged the guests on both sides: "It is really an honor for you to come to the Zhuge family as a guest."
"Chief Zhuge is too polite."
"Chief Zhuge, since everyone is here, please quickly move out the stones collected by your family so that everyone can have a good eye-opening."
"Yes, we came all the way here just to see the stones collected by the Zhuge family."
…
The guests were shouting loudly.
"Everyone, don't be anxious." Zhuge Liuyun stretched out his hands and pressed them on both sides: "We will not go to identify the stones until we have eaten and drank enough."
In the following time, everyone present did not mention the matter of identifying stones, but focused all their energy on drinking and eating meat. Drinking in big bowls and eating meat in big mouths, it was so enjoyable.
After a banquet, more than half of the guests were drunk, and were finally helped away by servants of the Zhuge family.
"Everyone have a good night's rest. Tomorrow I will take you to identify stones." After seeing off all the guests, Zhuge Liuyun returned to his residence, washed his face, and then prepared to go to sleep. At this moment, there was a sound coming from outside.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door.
"Patriarch, we have something to ask you." A man's rich voice came from outside.
"There is really no peace for a moment." Zhuge Liuyun sighed softly: "Come in, the door is unlocked." He never locks the door when sleeping. This has been his habit for many years.
"Crunch!"
The door was pushed open, and five old men with white beards and hair walked in. These five old men were wearing the same clothes and had somewhat similar looks. These five old men were all elders of the Zhuge family.
"Clan leader, when do you plan to identify the stone?" the great elder Zhuge Dong asked.
"Tomorrow." Zhuge Liuyun replied.
"Chief, did you invite too many people this time?" Second Elder Zhuge Xier said with some dissatisfaction.
Zhuge Liuyun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The people I invited are all accomplished in stone betting. With so many people appraising them together, the chance of making mistakes will be very low."
"People talk a lot, what if these guys tell the truth about identifying stones?" Third Elder Zhuge Nansan asked in a deep voice.
"What does the third elder mean?" Zhuge Liuyun asked back: "Are you not confident in the stones collected by our family? Are you worried that the identification results will not be good? So you are afraid that the news will spread?"
"Of course not..." Zhuge Nansan shook his head hastily: "I am very confident in the stones collected by my family!"
"In that case, what else do you have to worry about?" Zhuge Liuyun said with a smile: "I called so many people here just to let them help promote it. Think about it, so many stone betting masters also recognized our family's collection.
The stone is a treasure, what will happen? At that time, it will definitely trigger a frenzy of looting from various forces! We can also make a lot of money!"
"If...I'm talking about if..." Fourth Elder Zhuge Beisi said hesitantly: "If...the appraisal result...is not very good...then what should I do? Don't look at me like this, I told you
, it’s what if! As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of the worst, just be afraid of ten thousand..."
Zhuge Yingxiong, the fifth elder who had not spoken until now, nodded: "What the fourth elder said makes sense, we should prepare for the worst..."
"After all, you just don't have confidence in those stones." Zhuge Liuyun snorted.
"Clan leader...this matter is related to the reputation of the Zhuge family, so we can't be careless."
"I think... we should have a good talk with those stone betting experts and ask them to keep it secret and not go out and talk nonsense."
"Yes, give them more benefits and let them keep the secret."
"It doesn't work! Just kill them all. Only the dead can truly keep secrets."
"What nonsense are you talking about! How could our Zhuge family do such a dirty thing!"
"Then what do you think we should do?"
…
The five elders were chattering and arguing.
"That's enough!" Zhuge Liuyun slammed the table: "Stop arguing! After all, aren't you just afraid of taking responsibility? Now I will tell you clearly that if there is any trouble, I will do my best.
Take responsibility and I will never implicate you."
"Okay, we can rest assured because of the patriarch's words. Well, it's getting late. Chief, please take a rest." After saying this, the five elders exited the room.
"What a misfortune for our family..." Zhuge Liuyun sighed heavily: "With these old guys holding us back, a prosperous family can only be a dream."
…
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Zhuge Liuyun led a group of stone gambling masters to the backyard. He fumbled a few times on a rockery, and then saw the rockery moving to one side. When the entire rockery was moved,
Later, I discovered a dark hole in the ground.
"Those stones are at the bottom of the cave. Please follow me in." Zhuge Liuyun jumped into the cave entrance first.
The others just hesitated for a moment, and then jumped into the cave entrance one after another. After a long time, everyone finally reached the bottom of the cave.
"The Zhuge family is really generous. They actually dug such a large space underground. I admire them. I admire them."
"The surrounding stone walls are inlaid with luminous pearls. A rough count, there should be tens of thousands of them... In the whole world, only the Zhuge family can have such a big hand."
"Chief Zhuge, where are the stones you mentioned? Why can't I see them?"
…
"Everyone, follow me. Remember, don't touch anything here, because there are traps here. If you accidentally touch them... it will be bad." After a few words of warning, Zhuge Liuyun raised his feet.
Walk forward.
The guys hurriedly followed.
"Okay, we're here." Zhuge Liuyun suddenly stopped: "Those stones are placed in front, everyone can check them out at will."
"Whoa!"
Everyone raised their heads and looked forward, only to see a stone platform dozens of meters away. Dozens of stones were placed on the stone platform. Everyone just took a glance and were deeply attracted by these stones.
Everyone is a master of stone gambling. They have been dealing with stones all year round, and over time they have developed a hazy feeling...
Although they were far away, everyone could still feel the aura emitted by dozens of stones... a very powerful aura... At a certain moment, everyone collectively had the illusion that the opposite side was no longer stones, but individual ones.
