In the evening, Tang Duo then gave Zhang Chu a call to invite him for dinner.
In a box, Tang Duo, Shangguan Qingxue, Zhang Chu, Lin SiYu, and Hot Pot were all present.
At this moment, Tang Duo counted the money, “Today, a total of 12 magic weapons were auctioned off, selling a total of 700 million, an average of 60 million per piece!”
“Out of this money, first deduct the cost of three hundred thousand, after all, I organised this auction, the people I need, the venues I need, and all sorts of miscellaneous things, all need money.”
Immediately after Tang Duo continued, “Of course, there are other costs as well ……”
Zhang Chu directly interrupted Tang Duo: “The issue of accounts, you and Xiao Xue right on it, I have no opinion.”
Tang Duo immediately snickered, “Aiyo, this hasn’t developed into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship yet, and you’re already letting Xiao Xue take control of your financial power?”
Shangguan Qingxue smiled bitterly, “It’s just a free job.”
Soon after, Tang Duo added, “Of course, this seven hundred million, is just an appetiser, the real main event, is the last two eighth-grade magic weapons.”
At this moment, Tang Duo’s expression became exuberant, “Today, I took out that Money Swallowing Toad for everyone to see.”
“You weren’t able to see that the Feng Shui masters beside those tycoons at the scene stood up on the spot, some of them even breathed unevenly, and there was even an old man who shouted that he wouldn’t allow others to grab it from him!”
Zhang Chu instantly became interested, “Oh? It was already taken out today?”
“That’s right, but it wasn’t auctioned today, after all, this item is of too high a rank, so if we sell it today, we might suffer a loss.”
“In fact, there are already many great masters who have privately contacted my grandfather, and even, there are already powerful families from abroad that have also got the news and want to participate in the bidding.”
Zhang Chu was instantly shocked, “Foreign families, they also believe in magic weapons?”
“That we don’t know, anyway, there are already foreign consortiums that have greeted my grandfather, saying that they would let our auction take place a little later, the appearance of an eighth-grade magic weapon is too rare.”
Immediately after, Tang Duo was mysterious, “Even, the Eight Great Xuan Sects, there are people who have asked about this matter.”
Zhang Chu frowned slightly, “The Eight Great Xuan Clans? Could it be that they also want magic weapons?”
Tang Duo gently shook her head, “That’s not true, it’s just that someone asked us if it was a certain Xuan Sect that was shipping out, and they reminded us not to ship out too much.”
Zhang Chu instantly understood, it seemed that it was not just himself who could make this magic weapon, within the eight Xuan Clans, there were also people who could make magic weapons.
And this wave of shipments from Zhang Chu might have somewhat disturbed their market.
Zhang Chu realised that the business of this magic weapon would definitely not last long, unless it was really like what Mei Dun said, that the weirdness had descended on a large scale, and that everyone needed it.
Otherwise, the market would be smashed if too many of these things were shipped.
So Zhang Chu said, “If anyone asks again, you can tell them that I only have this batch of goods on hand, and there won’t be any more in the future.”
It wasn’t that Zhang Chu was afraid of the eight Xuanmen, but Zhang Chu himself didn’t want to smash the market, and he couldn’t ship them out in batches later, but he could still get them out one by one occasionally.
According to what Tang Duo said, the auction of the money swallowing toad and the jade deer had been postponed to seven days later, so Zhang Chu still needed to stay in Kyoto for a while.
Just in time, Zhang Chu would have to search for all the jade pendants.
The next day, Zhang Chu still brought Lin SiYu and Hot Pot, searching for the jade pendants.
For three days in a row, the search for the jade pendants went very smoothly without any accidents.
In fact, the people chosen by Mei Dun were all relatively simple, their lives did not have too many variables, basically they were either in their units or at home, and generally did not travel, which was the normal state of life for ordinary people.
Zhang Chu also saw with the naked eye, inside the Star Tower, on the right side of the door, a piece of the mysterious symbol was lit up.
However, there was still a large piece of distance from being completely lit up.
On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Chu’s few people were having breakfast while casually chatting.
The place where they were eating was the buffet restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel.
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue asked, “You’re almost done with your business, right?”
Zhang Chu nodded, “I’ve already collected seventy-six of them, and I estimate that in two more days at most, I’ll be able to finish collecting them.”
“After we’re done, let’s go to some attractions to have some fun, take a picture or something, we came to the royal capital and haven’t stopped yet.”Shangguan Qingxue proposed.
Lin SiYu instantly clapped her hands, “Good ah good ah.”
Zhang Chu also nodded, “That’s fine too, can’t always work.”
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue began to flip through the guide, preparing for the tour.
And just at this time, I don’t know which guest’s parrot suddenly flew out and flew around the restaurant.
It was a black parrot that looked quite smart, and after the staff noticed it, they immediately started to catch that parrot, but they couldn’t.
Not knowing what was going on, that parrot suddenly flew towards Zhang Chu’s table and fluttered and landed on Zhang Chu’s plate.
Zhang Chu froze for a moment, he hadn’t noticed the parrot before.
And after the parrot landed inside Zhang Chu’s plate, it even let out a burst of odd laughter towards Zhang Chu: “Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck ……”
This laughter was not good, as if it was an old woman with a broken throat, gasping for air in the dead of night.
In the next second, the parrot grabbed a piece of bacon and flew away with fluttering wings.
“What’s going on?”Shangguan Qingxue was instantly a bit angry.
The wait staff hurried over to apologise.
On the other hand, Zhang Chu froze in place, and his eyelids fluttered for a while.
“Zhang Chu, what’s wrong with you?”Shangguan Qingxue asked.
At this moment, Zhang Chu took a deep breath and said in a very grave manner, “Just now, I divined a fortune for myself, and it’s not too good.”
“What?”Shangguan Qingxue frowned.
Lin SiYu then spoke, “Didn’t you say that fortune tellers can’t tell their own fortunes? You can tell it for yourself?”
Zhang Chu nodded, “I can.”
Generally speaking, fortune tellers might not be able to tell their own fortunes, but physiognomists who possessed “Iron Mouth” were able to tell their own fortunes through external “phases”.
For example, if you see a black parrot smiling at you and taking away your bacon meat, this is a very bad sign in feng shui, which is called the Black Eagle Laughing and Taking Away Food.
Generally speaking, a person who encounters this sign is bound to encounter great evil that day.
Of course, this black parrot is not a real black eagle, so there is still a way to resolve the situation.
If it was an owl that laughed at night and had caught a mouse from your house, then there was no solution.
Zhang Chu also remembered that he had once heard of a case before.
There was once a man in the countryside, and at night, a friend called out to him to play cards.
When the man opened the door, he heard an eerie laugh, and when he looked up, it was a blackened owl.
The man didn’t understand, so he cursed, “How can this night owl even laugh?”
And when the man’s wife heard it, she immediately shouted, “I’ve heard that it’s bad luck to meet a night owl, so don’t go out to play cards at night.”
The man also scolded his wife, “What’s the point of being at home with you? You stay out of my business.”
As a result, out of the door, just out of the alley, a car sped over and directly killed him.
Therefore, this black eagle smile, is a very sinister phase, encounter, must be careful.
At this time, Shangguan Qingxue said, “Since it might be unlucky, then don’t go anywhere today, just take a break.”
However, Zhang Chu shook his head, “Do what you need to do, you can’t avoid it, and if you intentionally avoid it, there might be a greater calamity.”
Often times, calamities were not avoided, but rather dissolved, so Zhang Chu only needed to arrange the means to dissolve them.
