C620 Twelve Golden Men
As she spoke, Hsiao Hui opened the first metal door in front of her. Although the metal door was heavy, it was clear that it had some kind of built-in mechanism. Hsiao Hui only lightly pushed it and effortlessly opened the iron door. The quality of the door was also very good. There was not even a bit of squeaking sound.
Other people seemed to think that this door was very ordinary, but Ye Kai, who had the Clairvoyance Ability, found out. This door was actually an anti-theft facility with fingerprints, retinas, and sound control. Moreover, there were some mechanisms hidden in every corner, such as lasers. Ion beams. Such high-tech things, not to mention ordinary experts... Even a piece of metal would instantly turn into gas and disappear.
"Oh, then I would like to take a good look. This is the first treasure that the old dragon has kept in his collection. What exactly is it? Oh, let me make this clear first. If I think it's ordinary... Hmph, old dragon... I'll smash him right away. Don't feel any pain when the time comes! "
Lyu Linkang saw that even Hsiao Hui was so sure that the treasures here were extraordinary. He immediately spoke to Loong Aotian with some anger. However, to be honest, Lyu Linkang was also slightly shocked in his heart. Putting aside what these treasures were, just this series of mechanisms was unimaginable. It indicated that the things that were about to be revealed in front of him were definitely not ordinary. If it was just a common item like a diamond jade pendant... Then Loong Aotian would not go through so much trouble.
Loong Aotian only smiled and waved his hands, indicating for everyone to take a look at the first treasure in the room before saying anything else.
Under the lead of the impatient Lyu Linkang, everyone strode into the treasure room. The first thing that entered everyone's eyes was a dazzling golden light. And the source of this golden light was a very lifelike... gold figurine! That's right, it was a pure gold gold figurine! This gold figurine was about 1.8 meters tall, and it was covered in golden armor. It held a long spear in its hand, and it was extremely similar to the golden-armored Spiritual God above the nine heavens. Although it was a fake, it had a deterrent force that made people sigh with emotion at his greatness and the energy of the person who created this fellow.
"This gold figurine... If the texture of this entire body is really gold, it should weigh at least a ton, right? What the heck, Old Dragon, did you rob the Swiss vault? Uh, but, even if it is pure gold, at most, it can only be carved with good craftsmanship. And the seamless connection of the entire piece of gold, but... As long as you're willing to spend money, Old Dragon, forgive me for being blunt. There's nothing wrong with creating a new gold figurine like this, right? As for this gold figurine statue... if it was placed in an ordinary auction, it would definitely be worth fifty to sixty million. But that was also the case. Oh, no, if it was someone who knew what it was... Looking at this carving, it should be able to be sold for 100 million, right? However, 100 million yuan didn't seem like much to the collection of the Loong family, right? Tsk! Really! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Only an upstart would truly like this kind of dazzling gold sculpture!"
Lyu Linkang went forward and touched the gold figurine statue, giving a very positive evaluation.
It had to be said that although Lyu Linkang was somewhat frivolous, in the field of treasure inspection... However, his eyes were quite unique. What he just said... Although it was mixed with subjective emotions, in fact, it was also very agreeable. Ye Kai took a look and his initial impression was the same as what Lyu Linkang had said. He did not discover anything unusual about this gold figurine statue.
Among the crowd, Ye Kai and Lyu Linkang were the most attentive. As for the rest, such as Loong Rumeng, they weren't interested in these treasures at all. Chen Yuu, on the other hand, was even more indifferent. So... When Lyu Linkang and Ye Kai's expressions changed from anticipation to calmness, everyone's footsteps also wanted to step into the next room. After all, this was only the first room. It was normal that there was nothing special about this room that could make people's eyes light up. Everyone knew that the most important thing would only appear at the end. Perhaps this gold figurine statue was just an appetizer before the big feast?
"Linkang, you are mistaken! And Ye Kai, I think that in terms of looking at things... You should be more unique than anyone else. Why are you the same as Linkang? You only look at the surface when looking at things? Tsk, tsk, tsk. It's not me who disappointed you, it's you who let me down. Too disappointed! Hahahaha, alright. Next, I'll tell you a story!"
Loong Aotian laughed and patted Lyu Linkang and Ye Kai's shoulders, then pointed at the gold figurine statue with one hand. He said, "An ordinary gold figurine is nothing special, but if this gold figurine was forged by Qin Shihuang... What?"
"Hiss -"
Upon hearing Loong Aotian's words, both Lyu Linkang and Ye Kai sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. Both of them were extremely experienced and knowledgeable people, so they naturally understood the relationship between gold figurine and Qin Shihuang. Therefore, when they heard what Loong Aotian said, all of them thought of a possibility. This gold figurine... Could it be one of the 12 gold figurine? Could it be that there was really such a strong background?
"I can tell that you have guessed it. That's right. Back then, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and pacified the world, fearing that the feudal vassals of the various states would rebel, he collected all the bronze and iron weapons in the world. Using the most advanced technology at that time, he smelted them into twelve gold figurine. He placed these twelve gold figurines in twelve directions to show his awe towards the various parties! And those 12 gold figurine... were the predecessor of this gold figurine in front of him! In other words, on the body of this gold figurine... It bore the heavy responsibility of suppressing all directions. Say, one of the twelve gold figurine of Qin Shihuang... Could it be called a treasure of the world? Does he have the right to be placed in the first treasure chamber? Also, its value, not to mention a hundred million... Even if it's ten billion, a hundred billion, it's probably worth it, right?"
Loong Aotian was very satisfied with Lyu Linkang and Ye Kai's surprised reaction, as if he was slapping their faces.
"That's not right. Uncle Loong, you said it just now. Qin Shihuang had cured all the copper and iron in the world into gold figurine. But... With our eyesight, we can tell that this gold figurine in front of us... It doesn't have the slightest bit of copper or iron. It's impossible to say that it is pure gold without any impurities. But to say that it is pure gold with no impurities is 0. No one would have any doubts about 0001% of thousand feet of gold. This doesn't seem to be very... Ah, what I mean is, is there a mistake? Under such circumstances, we can only hope that this isn't a gold figurine in front of us. Rather, it's a ___! After all, only by doing so will we be able to match history! Uncle Loong, don't you think so? "
Ye Kai suddenly thought of something. He knew that he had to say it out loud to let Loong Aotian understand, so he didn't try to hide it from him.
" Ah, that's right. Loong Aotian, I was almost tricked by you! Your son-in-law is the smartest one to reveal the secrets of the heavens with a single sentence! Hehe. Now, explain it to us. The gold figurine is still the gold figurine. However, it isn't the one from the Qin Dynasty, right?"
Lyu Linkang slapped his thigh and shouted as well. He used his elbow to hit Loong Aotian, who had a smug look on his face, and said.
"Haha, don't be anxious! You only know one thing, and you don't know the other. Listen to me slowly!"
Loong Aotian was not anxious at all. He was not flustered at all. It was as if everything was under his control. It was as if... He had already predicted that Ye Kai and Lyu Linkang would think of this question, so naturally, he had already thought of the answer. It was still the answer that would convince the two of them the moment he said it. The answer that would surprise the two of them once again.
They thought that Loong Aotian would feel extremely awkward after saying it. Who would have thought that Loong Aotian would have such an expression and reaction? This made Lyu Linkang and Ye Kai somewhat confused. Since he wanted to say it out loud... It definitely wouldn't be as simple as they had imagined. Therefore... Lyu Linkang and Ye Kai didn't say anything else. They listened carefully to Loong Aotian's explanation.
"Back then, the 12 gold figurine forged by Qin Shihuang was a gold figurine in name. But in reality, it was made of bronze! These 12 bronze men were merely symbolic decorations. If that's all, even if I take out one of the twelve bronze people today... The statue that is surrounded by bronze is probably just a collection. A treasure of China. That was all! There was a very strange thing, this matter... It only existed in a secret history of Qin Shihuang. If it was made public to the public, it might cause another uproar! Let's not talk about the secret history first. Let's talk about the gold figurine first! Oh, it's these twelve bronze statues!"
After saying that, Loong Aotian walked in front of the gold figurine. He gently patted the gold figurine's body. The gold figurine immediately let out a buzzing sound. That sound had a kind of magic power that made people respect it, and it also had a kind of fear that made people's backs numb. If this was just an ordinary gold figurine, it definitely wouldn't have such an effect!
"Back then, the 12 gold figurine were all destroyed in the late Qin years. Only this last one was left. After that... According to the secret history, that night, there was a violent storm in the sky. There was lightning and thunder, and there was an immortal from the Nine Heavens above. He appeared in front of Qin Shihuang and used a secret technique to transform the last gold figurine into a real gold figurine. The seal of the immortal from the Nine Heavens was also left behind. He also claimed that as long as this gold figurine was present, he could summon the other eleven gold figurine. It could also ensure that Great Qin would not be destroyed for ten thousand years! Of course, you would ask. Wasn't the Qin Queen also destroyed? Right?"
Loong Aotian asked Lyu Linkang and Ye Kai in the end.
"That's right. Let's not talk about whether there are any immortals above the Nine Heavens. If there are, why can't he protect Great Qin forever?"
Lyu Linkang nodded and did not argue with Loong Aotian.
