Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 516: Temporary Priorities
This kind of socialization was not something Tang Xiu liked, but there was a purpose as to why he came today. After exchanging greetings and pleasantries, he brought Ouyang Lulu, Li Laoshan, and Wang Daoyuan to a secluded table.
"Tang Xiu, why do you look tormented when you make small talk with others?" Ouyang Lulu asked with a smile, as she came to Tang Xiu's side.
“I really hate this kind of social exchange without food for the mind. They may talk to us warmly now, but they tend to forget who you are after separation. Even if they remember us, it's because they're facing a problem or something like that. Their real purpose is definitely not as pure as yours with your friends. ”
“That's right, right! Brother Tang's words have represented what was on my mind as well. When the two of us first met in Saipan, neither of us knew who the real parties were, nor did we know each other's names. It was just that we felt that the other party was rather interesting, and had something in common with each other. ”
On the side, Wang Daoyuan's expression flickered as he quickly asked, “Did you say that you and Brother Tang met in Saipan, Brother Li? In the last two months, I heard that there was a big project being done there. Could it…"
“It has nothing to do with me. I heard it too, but my business has not expanded abroad. "Li Laoshan waved his hand and smiled.
Wang Daoyuan nodded and looked pensive as he said, "After I heard about the big project that was being carried out there, I sent some people to investigate. Unfortunately, I did not get much information from the investigation. I just heard that someone bought an island and was doing reconstruction there. Too bad! Projects that are so big but don't fall into my hands, or I might be able to make a lot of money. ”
Looking stunned, Li Laoshan glanced at Tang Xiu with a strange expression, even though he did not say anything.
Ouyang Lulu leaned closer after hearing that, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Tang Xiu, what are they talking about that island you bought, right?"
"Should! But I don't want this matter to be known by many people, so you shouldn't talk about it, ” Tang Xiu said in a similar low voice.
"Understand," Ouyang Lulu said with a faint smile.
The banquet organized by the Situ Family was very relaxing. As the Head of Situ — Family Situ Boyang, who hosted the event, finally arrived in person, and many of his old friends greeted him and dragged him to sit down with them. The scenery turns to be very lively when delicious dishes and good wine are served.
Tang Xiu himself was quite quiet with his words. Although almost everyone who shared a table with him seemed to want to befriend him, yet he only answered with a simple answer to deal with them. The man he noticed was Situ Boyang, the Head of Situ Family.
"Tang Xiu, I will take you to grandfather to pay my respects!" Ouyang Lulu suddenly put down her chopsticks and said with a smile.
“Alright, I'll see him because he's your brother! Besides, I also need to talk about something with the Head of the Situ Family, ” Tang Xiu said with a light smile.
There was an unusual expression on Ouyang Lulu's face when she asked, “Do you want to see Grandpa? What's for?"
“You'll know about it after I meet him. Le's go! ”Jawab Tang Xiu with a light smile.
When the two got up and came to the table where Situ Boyang was sitting, Ouyang Lulu grabbed Tang Xiu's arm and smilingly said, "Grandfather, Tang Xiu and I came to to toast. ”
Turning his head to look at Ouyang Lulu, Situ Boyang's eyes immediately fell on Tang Xiu. After observing him carefully, he then nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, “What a good man. Tang Xiu, since you are my granddaughter's lover, you will probably be closer to our Situ Family later. ”
“I'm sure we'll get closer, Grandpa Situ. Anyway, please accept this wine glass as a sign of my respect, ” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
Situ Boyang raised his wine cup. After drinking it in one gulp, she smacked her mouth twice and sighed, This “God's Nectar produced by the Magnificent Tang Corporation is exquisite. It felt like it had completely left behind a rich aftertaste. Tang Xiu, looking at Lulu's face, can you open the back door for this old man and sell it for my personal use? ”
“Ah, you are kidding. But if you really like it, I'll tell Kang Xia after I return to send you some boxes, ” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
"Big! That's great! ”Situ Boyang said in a loud voice while laughing.
"Situ's grandfather, can I talk to you after the banquet is over?" Ask Tang Xiu.
Shocked and staring blankly for a moment, Situ Boyang then immediately nodded and said with a smile, “Alright! Just come with Lulu later, and let us have a family chat. ”
"Alright, then we won't bother you anymore!"
Tang Xiu replied and then brought Ouyang Lulu back to their table. Inwardly, he secretly considered and analyzed several variables about doing business with Situ Boyang. Before this, he would not care to care about the whereabouts of the Situ Family; however, after today's auction, he realized that he made a mistake. The Situ Family was part of the army of the Occult Sect and had very close relations with many figures from the Sect in China. Many things he could use would be available and easily obtained as long as he searched for them through Situ Family.
For example, this auction. The Situ Family was able to take out two objects, the Imperial Jade Seal belonging to Emperor Qin and the Nine Phoenix Hairpin, which showed how tough and resourceful they were. Maybe a while later Situ Family will do other good things again.
As the party ended, Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu sent Li Laoshan and Wang Daoyuan out of the hotel. Afterwards, they then went to the luxury suite on the 28th floor of the hotel.
"All right!" Tang Xiu replied, yet he did not leave. Instead, he sat down with Ouyang Lulu on the very back sofa.
On the sofa in the middle of the room, Situ Boyang took out a cigarette in his hand and slowly said, “We must find a map for the tomb; there is only one left. As long as we find her, I'll go and see her in person. You have to be ready and ready as well because this is definitely going to be a big problem for us. ”
A skinny old man, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, nodded and said, “ Rest assured! We are ready . It's a pity that we haven't been able to pinpoint the exact location. After all, Brother Situ, is your body really suitable to perform such a dangerous task? ”
"If you two old geezers can do it, then why can't I?" Said Situ Boyang proudly. “The three of us have discovered and explored more than 100 tombs, and there has never been a chance where we could not judge their origin and what was buried in them. We must never let this opportunity slip out of our hands! ”
"Yes! It was a pity that Old Mole Zuan had died. Codger's a bit selfish. Had he called the three of us, then maybe he wouldn't have died. Even though Emperor Qin's Imperial Jade Seal was robbed by him from that ancient tomb, I still want to see the flying sword he told us about on his last breath, he said, ”said the skinny old man with a sigh.
“Let's wait for the news! Even if we don't get a third map of the tomb, we can still trace its approximate direction. I'm sure there must be a big secret in the Guzang mountains, ” Situ Boyang said slowly.
Not far away from them, Tang Xiu, who was currently listening to their conversation, had his heart slightly moved.
A sword that can fly? Could it be a flying sword? A flying sword that could fly without being controlled by anyone should be a sword that was placed within the sword array formation. And this array must also be extremely powerful. What kind of figure could manage it?
When Tang Xiu thought to that, he immediately got up and walked to the front of the three elders, saying, "I just heard that you are talking about the existence of a flying sword. I might know something about this. ”
The two old men furrowed their brows. There were unhappy expressions on their faces. As for Situ Boyang, although he also knitted his brows, he still replied with a smile, "Tang Xiu, since you know about it, then let us know. ”
"The "sword that can fly must be the flying sword of the planters of legend. If you say that there is a flying sword in the ancient tomb but there is no living person in it, it means that someone has arranged the sword array with the flying sword there. Those who could set up sword arrays were clearly a powerful force among cultivators, and perhaps, the power of those sword arrays could not be underestimated either. ”
"Array sword?" The skin of the three old men changed and exclaimed at the same time. They did not expect that Tang Xiu would really know about the existence of cultivators.
Pointing to the empty sofa at the side, Situ Boyang said, "Tang Xiu, since you know about cultivators, flying swords, and sword arrays, you should know more than that, right? All right, tell us! ”
After Tang Xiu sat down, he explained, “The cultivators are an existence shrouded in mystery, possessing magical powers and frightening abilities. Presumably, you all know that I bought Emperor Qin's Imperial Jade Seal at a very high price at the auction. But didn't you think why I bought it? ”
After thinking for a while, Situ Boyang put on a serious expression and said, “Don't make us guess, Tang Xiu. Get to the point. ”
"Actually, the Imperial Jade Seal of Emperor Qin was a magical device, and an extremely powerful device at that. I can't tell you about its practical and specific use, I'm worried. But all I can say is that I know a lot about magic tools and cultivators. I can even tell you that I have the means to destroy that array of swords. ”
Situ Boyang and the other two grandfathers had their skin changed greatly. Shock could be seen on their faces, as they stared fixedly at Tang Xiu and did not speak for very long.
Finally, Situ Boyang asked in a deep tone, "Tang Xiu, please, did you just tell us that Emperor Qin's Imperial Jade Seal is a magical device and you can break that row of swords?"
"That's right!" Tang Xiu nodded.
"If so, are you yourself a cultivator?" Ask Situ Boyang quickly.
Shaking his head, Tang Xiu replied, "No, I don't. But even though I am not a cultivator, I know a lot about their situation. Of course, you can also think of me as a cultivator, as some of my abilities are comparable to theirs. ”
"What exactly are your abilities?" Asked the skinny old man in a hurry.
"For example, I have deep knowledge in arrays, as well as I am proficient in the creation of magic symbols and talismans," Tang Xiu said with a faint smile.
Array, magic symbol, and talisman?
The three people looked at Tang Xiu and could not speak.
They knew that Tang Xiu had another identity as a heavenly physician, yet they never expected that he would also excel in the array, as well as be proficient in the creation of magic symbols and talismans.
"From where and how did you learn about them, Tang Xiu?" Ask Situ Boyang.
“I've always liked to read all kinds of books. Luckily, I got a few books back then. The book contained knowledge of medicines, arrays, and magic symbols. And after years of study and research, I ended up proficient in it. ”
