Chapter 1068: Turning Things Around
Chapter 1068 Turning the Tide (Part I) Seeing that almost everyone around me looked like their chin was hitting the instep of their feet. Xiang Baowen finally had a refreshing feeling of letting out a vicious breath.
"If only based on the size and color of this pearl, there may be other treasures in the world that can compete with it, but now because of this girl inside, none of your things here can surpass it!" Xiang Baowen thought in his heart, greedily glanced at Shuo's exposed white ankles, and swallowed his saliva fiercely.
"As we all know, the formation of pearls is generally because there is sand or pebbles in the shell, and this huge sea mussel is we inadvertently found in the trench in the sea up to two thousand meters deep, and at the same time found the wreckage of a shipwreck a hundred years ago, according to our speculation, the girl in the pearl should be a member of the shipwreck at that time, her body fell into the deep sea with the shipwreck, fortunately not eaten by the fish, but fell into the sea mussel, and then formed this unique pearl, in the West Sea has the legend of mermaids crying into beads, this pearl perfectly preserved the body of a girl hundreds of years ago, so we named this pearl Luoyan. ”
It was supposed to be a very poignant story, but unfortunately it was narrated from Xiang Baowen's mouth, and it made people feel that the taste was as boring as chewing wax, so Xiang Baowen found that the effect was not good after saying a paragraph, so he closed his mouth with interest.
However, because this pearl is so beautiful, the shock to everyone present is still absolutely huge.
Let this pearl be displayed in front of everyone for another thirty seconds, Xiang Baowen made a gesture, and the two subordinates carefully closed the wooden box, and the pink light in the air quickly slid towards the box, and a girl's sigh seemed to sound in everyone's ears, and then disappeared into the closed box with the loss in everyone's hearts.
The feeling of loss in my heart as if it had been hollowed out all of a sudden, made everyone's mood very low all of a sudden.
The hall seemed to be filled with the shallow singing of the girl in the pearl.
Prince Jin and Qing Yuanbai exchanged glances covertly, and from their eyes, they both read each other's meaning: "There are absolutely only a handful of treasures that can be compared to this pearl on this face, and the jewels that can reach this level are naturally collected by the royal family in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, how can it be possible to find treasures that are beyond their reach in a short period of time." ”
Qingyuan Bai looked at Liang Xi, and saw Liang Xi frowning and staring at his feet, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
He sighed silently in his heart, Xiang Baowen obviously came prepared, the first treasure of this competition, I am afraid that he has already lost.
"Everyone, how does this falling Yan Zhu feel?" Xiang Baowen was so proud that the flesh on his cheeks swayed, "Because it has absorbed the aura and yin qi of the water element at the bottom of the sea all year round, it can already emit light on its own, and if it is in the dark wilderness, the light it emits is comparable to the clear moonlight." ”
After Xiang Baowen finished speaking, he looked around and saw the gloomy looks on the faces of the people around him, and he couldn't help but purse his lips: "This feeling is really good!"
The hall was silent for a few seconds, and Xiang Baowen looked at Lord Jin and said, "Lord Wang, it's your turn." The first round is to compare treasures, I don't know which of these treasures on this floor is ready to be taken out?"
King Jin's expression was as usual, and he said lightly: "King Wen's Luoyan Pearl is comparable to the treasure of Zhenguo, and the treasure that can be compared to this, this king has not yet had fate." ”
The tone of the prince was very tactful, but the meaning had been clearly expressed: there was no treasure in this layer that could compare to Luo Yanzhu, so he automatically admitted defeat.
Compete with three treasures, the first round has already been lost, if the second round is lost, then Liang Xi and Shuo Shuang will have to fulfill their promise!
Ling Yin turned her face sideways and looked at Liang Xi, in her impression, Liang Xi was definitely not such a person who would admit defeat easily, but why didn't he react now?
In Ling Yin's incomprehensible gaze, Liang Xi's frowning brows suddenly stretched, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing Liang Xi's calm smile, Ling Yin suddenly had a feeling, as if he would not be nervous and scared even if the sky fell at this moment.
"Did he think of a way?" Ling Yin was puzzled in her heart, and when she was connected to Liang Xi's violent personality, she suddenly felt a sudden burst in her heart, "He didn't want to break that Luo Yanzhu!"
Just when Ling Yin was in doubt, the Sword Saint Qing Yuanbai had already shook his head, although he was very reluctant to admit it in his heart, but the other party's Luo Yanzhu was indeed unparalleled in the world.
He smiled freely and said, "King Wen's Luo Yanzhu is definitely worthy of the title of the first in the world, so this round of us-"
"Wait. Liang Xi's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Qing Yuanbai's words.
Originally, when they heard Qing Yuanbai's words, all the guests of the Chu Kingdom around them felt a throbbing pain in their hearts, but suddenly they heard Liang Xi's voice to stop, as if they had seen a candle flame in the boundless night, and everyone's eyes once again shot a ray of hope, and their eyes gathered on Liang Xi's body.
Seeing Liang Xi come forward, Xiang Baowen's face sank suddenly: "What else do you have to say?" ”
"Don't be so nervous. Liang Xi's grinning look made Prince Jin and Qingyuan Bai look at each other: "Could it be that he has a treasure in his hand?"
Liang Xi turned to look at Prince Jin and Qing Yuanbai, arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, Sword Saint, I want to ask, did the rules just now say that King Wen represents the Xiang State, and we represent the Chu State to compete for treasures?"
"Yes. Lord Jin nodded and said.
Liang Xi stretched out his two hands and gestured in a circle and said, "Then does this include me in our range?"
The prince glanced at Xiang Baowen, Xiang Baowen gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I want to see what tricks you can play!"
Liang Xi shook his head, and his unfathomable appearance whetted the appetite of the people around him: "It's not a trick, it's just that as a good citizen of Chu State and a candidate for the top ten promising young people, I think I can still make a little contribution at this time." ”
"Well, I'm going to see what you can come up with. Xiang Baowen crossed his arms and squinted at Liang Xi, sneering again and again, "Liang Xi, you should pay attention to your words and deeds now, because you are now representing your Chu State, and losing the face of Chu State is a big sin, you must know that there are still many guests from other countries here." ”
"I know that. Liang Xi said with a smile, "Besides, there is such a thing as losing face, how can I compare to the experienced King Wen?"
"What are you talking about!" Xiang Baowen's eyebrows were upside down and he was about to attack, Liang Xi ignored him at all, stretched out his hand in front of everyone and said, "Everyone look at it, such the most precious treasure is in my hands at this moment." ”
What Xiang Baowen used to hold the Yan Zhu was the most exquisite and precious box, and Liang Xi actually grabbed it in his hand, and everyone looked at each other while being curious: "What kind of treasure is so small?"
In addition, Liang Xi now represents the Chu State, and the expectations in everyone's hearts are getting stronger and stronger.
Shuo Shuang knew that Liang Xi didn't bring anything with him when he came out, so he was now curious about what he was going to take out.
In the unblinking gaze of everyone, Liang Xi slowly spread out his palm, and what appeared on his palm was - a pinch of loess.
