Volume 2: Scales in the Pond Chapter 131: Nine Stone Statues of Dragon Sons
Yield?
"No matter what material, two hundred kilograms a day, just look at the total amount." Qiao Ji replied.
Xia Xingzhong looked at Qiao Ji with a meaningful look in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Did Bi'an give you a Bi'an tooth that can detect lies? That's great. Keep it and don't lose it."
Qiao Ji felt that Xia Xingzhong seemed to have the ability to judge lies.
He had no evidence, just an intuition. He felt that Xia Xingzhong had a faint aura of the Bi'an statue, which was elusive and very strange.
The claim of 200 kilograms a day was undoubtedly a lie. Xia Xingzhong seemed to have seen through it but did not say it out loud. Qiao Ji felt that his identity as a child was probably the best cover.
Who wants to bother with a minor about this kind of thing ? Unless it is an emergency and Qiao Ji has to produce it in large quantities.
"Does Bi'an Ya have any other abilities besides lie detection?"
Qiao Ji asked. He felt that Xia Xingzhong seemed to know something and was reminding him on purpose.
Xia Xingzhong took Zhang Jin's tea , took a sip, and then explained: "The dragon gave birth to nine sons, one of which is Bi'an, who is like a tiger but good at fighting, so Bi'an's fang is more than just a lie detector."
Good at fighting?
Xia Xingzhong's explanation was not clear, and Qiao Ji did not understand what other functions the Bi'an Fang had.
"There is only one stone statue of Bi'an in the world, and it is said that if you gather nine stone statues of dragon sons, you can attract a real dragon. I think you have a connection with Bi'an, so maybe you can gather nine stone statues of dragon sons."
"All gathered? Is the dragon statue lost?"
" Only four bodies have been found in China so far, and there are reports of two bodies being found overseas. The remaining three bodies are still missing. If you find anything in the future, remember to tell me."
Xia Xingzhong put down the teacup, took out a medal-sized object from his pocket, and handed it to Qiao Ji, "This is for you."
This is a piece of object with irregular cracks on the edge. It is about three centimeters thick and golden in color. It reflects light into a colorful halo.
It is obvious that this thing is not an ordinary creation. It is very heavy in the hand, much heavier than a lump of gold of similar size.
There are not many things in the world that are heavier than gold.
"What is this?"
"This is a scale." Xia Xingzhong's answer surprised Qiao Ji.
Scales?
"The Bi'an statue has not awakened for so many years, but it awakened when it saw you. I think you have a connection with dragons. Perhaps you can find the remaining three dragon statues. This scale should be of some help to you."
I never said I was going to look for the statue of Longzi.
What Xia Xingzhong said was not reliable. How could such a job be given to a high school student like Qiao Ji? How could he have the time to look for a dragon statue?
"Director, giving this kind of thing to my son? This is not a good idea." Qiao Yao refused. He didn't want Qiao Ji to go looking for a stone statue of a dragon.
You know, apart from the officials, most of the people who look for this kind of things are from the Antique Appraisal Association.
Moreover, in the world of supernatural powers, searching for antiques, ruins, and ancient tombs is a life-threatening job with an extremely high risk factor.
For example, among the Thirteen Tombs of Yujing, why has only the Dingling Tomb been opened so far?
That is because the imperial mausoleum is full of dangers, and once it is opened, no one is sure what will be released.
No trace of the legendary Mausoleum of the First Emperor has been found so far, but a large number of evil soldiers were discovered in just a few suspected tombs, and it took a lot of effort to suppress them.
Although we have nuclear weapons now, not everything can be supported by them. The imperial mausoleum is so close to Yujing, no one dares to open it casually. Some of the supernatural measures left behind can easily destroy the city. Even if a modern city is relatively large, you will not be able to withstand the destruction of one district.
"It's just a gift. He and dragons have a connection."
What Xia Xingzhong did was not right. Even Zhang Jin frowned, but he did not say anything. After all, the other party was his leader.
He was somewhat stubborn and seemed to be certain of what Qiao Ji could do.
"By the way, when the Bi'an statue moved, did it say anything to you?"
Qiao Yao took over the conversation, "Bi'an seemed to roar. There should be audio and video recordings."
He felt that this leader was too enthusiastic towards his son. Why did he think Qiao Ji could find those things?
Just because the Bi'an statue moved?
They have been lying down for decades or even hundreds of years, so what's wrong with getting up and moving around?
Xia Xingzhong watched Qiao Ji accept the scales, and then changed the subject, "Let's leave this topic here for now, let's talk about the purple copper, how much do you plan to ask for?"
What is the specific price?
This puts Qiao Yao and Qiao Ji in a difficult position, because it is difficult to calculate and there is no international average price for this thing.
"How about this? You can produce 200 kilograms of purple copper a day, and I want one ton. Just give it to me within half a month, and it will be deducted from the cost of increasing your spiritual light value to 2.0."
"As for gold and other metals, I will buy them at a discount of 20 yuan per gram based on the market price. Is there any problem?"
Qiao Ji glanced at Qiao Yao. He had no problem, and Qiao Ji had no problem either. It was always a profit.
"no problem."
"That's it, leave me your phone number and call me if you encounter any problems."
Xia Xingzhong stood up and exchanged numbers with Qiao Ji. Then, looking at this very young man, he warned him, "Just like your father worried, if you encounter anything related to the Longzi statue, never take risks on your own. Call me as soon as possible. My number is always answered 24 hours a day."
Qiao Ji smiled, "Don't worry, I won't take any risks."
The prerequisite is that the opponent is qualified for me to take the risk.
Xia Xingzhong patted Qiao Ji on the shoulder and said, "That's good. I should say something that I shouldn't say. In this era, strange phenomena are happening frequently, and many ancient powers are awakening. I'm not exaggerating, but judging from the fact that you awakened the Bi'an statue, I'm very worried about you."
"Will the dragon come to me in the middle of the night?"
"We can't completely rule out this possibility. It could also be a dragon child, or some other dragon-blooded creature."
"Dragon blood creature? Is there really such a creature?"
Qiao Ji had never seen it, nor had he heard of it when he was surfing the Internet.
"Of course there are. There are several bases doing this kind of training. I'll take you there someday to have some fun. There are dragon-scale horses you can ride."
Dragon scale horse?
Is there such a creature?
Then you must go and see it.
"when?"
Qiao Ji didn't really know what being polite meant, so if he wanted to go, he would just make an appointment directly.
"Next month, I have some things to do these days, and you have to prepare the purple copper for me... I always feel that your ability has a dark and shadowy aura. You have a second ability."
Xia Xingzhong suddenly changed the subject, and Qiao Ji realized that the man had his hand on his shoulder.
This is a dangerous move for people with special abilities.
However, as long as his memory space was not invaded, Qiao Ji didn't mind him sensing his own shadow tattoo.
"Yes, I can also hide in the shadows."
"Escape is also a very good ability. You are really lucky."
