Old Henry still bowed his waist and sounded in awe.
"Just call me Mr. Tang."
Tang Ming said calmly: "Get up first, open the window and let me take a look."
"Yeah, okay, Mr. Tang."
Old Henry did not dare to neglect, and tremblingly took out a bunch of ancient keys from his arms and opened the glass showcase.
This window is made of bulletproof glass, which is extremely hard.
Click! The glass slowly popped open.
Old Henry stepped back a few steps, giving up the best position, while he respectfully handled the situation aside.
Tang Ming stepped forward and reached out to touch the pendulum clock.
This scene shocked the people around him.
Any antique in the store is priceless. You need to check the qualifications when you enter to view it. If it is not sold, you are not allowed to touch it.
This is a rule of the Morris family.
Because here, you don’t have to worry about buying fakes.
This has been the rule of the Morris family in doing business for hundreds of years. It is precisely because of this rule that the Morris family is famous for its integrity in the antique world.
but now.
Without even discussing the price, the Chinese young man directly touched the pendulum clock with his hand! Old Henry stood aside with great respect, as respectful as a slave serving his master!... Tang Ming stroked the carvings on the pendulum clock with his hand.
pattern.
In fact.
He was using his soul to carefully explore the pendulum clock.
"Um?"
"It's really strange."
Tang Ming's eyes flashed slightly: "There is actually a formation inside that can hinder the detection of spiritual consciousness. What a precise formation!"
He didn't notice anything wrong with this pendulum clock before, but because it was the same style as the pendulum clock his father liked back then, he wanted to buy it back and put it at home.
Millions of dollars is an understatement for him.
But old Henry's previous words, saying that the pendulum clock had kept exactly the same time for hundreds of years and was not affected by the magnetic field, immediately made his heart move.
China and the United States are separated by the Pacific Ocean, a long distance, and they are in different time zones, with a time difference of more than ten hours.
But the pendulum clock was not affected at all.
Very weird.
This investigation also confirmed what Tang Ming was thinking. There was an extremely precise formation inside the pendulum clock, which hindered the exploration of spiritual consciousness.
"Xiao Ming, what's wrong?"
Jin Yuerong was also in the state of becoming a god. She felt Tang Ming's spirit aura, stepped forward, and secretly sent a message: "Is there something wrong with this pendulum clock?"
"Well, there is a formation here."
Tang Ming responded via the same voice: "Moreover, this formation hinders the investigation, as if to hide the real secret inside."
secret?
Jin Yuerong was slightly startled.
After hearing this, she also used the spirit technique to investigate carefully, but found no clues.
But she didn't doubt Tang Ming's judgment at all.
"The strength of my soul is not as high as yours. Being able to perform this kind of formation shows that the person setting up the formation is highly skilled."
Jin Yuerong secretly sent a message: "Are you sure it can be lifted?"
"Let me try."
Tang Ming's eyes flickered.
next moment.
The powerful spiritual soul surged and turned into waves of invisible force pouring into the pendulum clock.
From the outside, everything looks extremely peaceful.
Tang Ming seemed to be really appreciating the art. Henry didn't notice anything unusual and waited respectfully aside.
A few minutes later.
"Ka--" an invisible voice suddenly sounded.
This sound coincided with the sound of the quarter-hour chime, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
But Tang Ming's eyes flashed with a strange color.
Inside the pendulum clock.
There was a dense atmosphere filling the air at this moment.
"At this time..." Tang Ming's pupils suddenly shrank.
This aura is a remnant of soul.
It's not the remnants of a magic weapon's spiritual energy, but... the remnants of a living being.
All living beings must have three souls and nine souls. Powerful monks can constantly sharpen their souls to use magical powers.
Once the monk's body is broken, the three souls and nine souls will lose their protection and become remnant souls. They will either collapse on their own or turn into fierce ghosts and evil spirits. A very small number of outstanding ones can become ghost cultivators.
now.
The dense aura inside the pendulum clock is just a remnant of soul! "What a powerful spiritual aura, just a remnant of soul, which is comparable to the strength of the soul in the realm of transformation... What would happen if three souls and nine souls gathered together?
fear?"
Tang Ming's heart surged.
His attention was focused on the source of the dense aura.
This is a piece of wood that glows with golden light. It is the best golden nanmu. At this moment, various inscriptions appear on this piece of golden nanmu.
The dense aura, that is, the remnant soul, collapsed within the inscription.
"The best natural golden nanmu is the best material for making Chinese-style pendulum clocks. According to Henry, this pendulum clock was owned by the royal family of the Chinese Dynasty three hundred years ago."
"Three hundred years ago, could it be that a certain powerful practitioner died and left his remains in the nanmu?"
Tang Ming thought about it in his heart.
This guess is somewhat logical.
But in fact he himself was very unsure.
Because, the dense aura emanating from this remnant soul has far exceeded the limit that secular monks can cultivate.
It's just a remnant soul that has the cultivation level of the God Transformation Realm.
Simply unbelievable.
...Tang Ming calmly withdrew his soul.
The moment he withdrew his soul, the formation inside the pendulum clock filled the air again, completely covering up the remaining soul.
"Yes, Not Bad."
Tang Ming nodded pretending to be thoughtful: "I like this pendulum clock very much. It has a very historical charm. By the way, you said that this magical instrument was brought back by a Western priest and was also a gift from a Chinese prince.
,Is that so?"
"Yep."
Old Henry nodded quickly: "Mr. Tang, if you need this pendulum clock, I will ask someone to pack it. As for the price, you can give me three million US dollars."
The original price was six million US dollars.
now.
After seeing Tang Ming's VIP card, he decided to buy it at half price, three million US dollars.
"Tsk, tsk, just sell it at half price. What a great gesture from old Henry."
"Strange, the Morris family claims to never bargain or discount, so why did they make an exception today?"
"Yes, the last time the British royal prince came over, he took a fancy to a pocket watch from the Middle Ages. He wanted to negotiate the price, but Old Henry refused."
"I'm still more curious about the identity of this Chinese person."
"Me too, I've never heard of this person before..." Inside the store.
People around him were talking a lot, and they were obviously shocked by Old Henry's attitude.
"Mr. Tang, why don't we go to the private room upstairs to talk in detail first."
Old Henry coughed a few times and invited.
"good."
Tang Ming and others made preparations to leave.
Sudden.
An inappropriate voice sounded.
"three million?"
"Old Henry, you little old man is acting very unethically. You may ruin the reputation of the Morris family for hundreds of years."
Accompanied by sound.
A tall and handsome Western young man wearing a customized Versace suit came over.
The young man wore earrings and had a pair of charming blue eyes. At this moment, he was strolling over with a charming girl in his arms.
"If it's three million."
"I bought this thing from Grove. Old Henry, pack it for me. Someone from the Cole family will come to move it later."
The Western young man spoke casually.
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and put the cigar in his mouth, puffing out the smoke happily. He wore several black iron rings on his right hand and had special tattoos on his five finger bones.
