Chapter 99 Mutation
It was the iron essence that Elder Shui got at the auction that day.∷
"I had known that this thing was extraordinary. I was also at the auction that day. Because I was short of money, I didn't have the nerve to wait until the end. But I didn't expect that such a magical thing fell into the hands of Shui Jing. Today, it is in my hands again.
, let me try to see if this thing is really as magical as it is said to be."
Saying that, Gao Junmo held the iron essence and moved it with the force of his palm. The iron essence was now square and flat, sharp and thick, long and short, and varied.
Seeing that Gao Junmo was getting excited about playing, Xu Yi unconsciously reached into his arms and touched the round piece. When he exerted force on his palm, an astonishing heat spread, and he immediately let go of his hand.
And just as he was transmitting his palm power, Gao Junmo groaned, held the iron spirit, and said, "Weird, weird, this iron spirit had an amazing amount of heat just now. Could it be that I have been playing with it for too long?
This thing is a bit unbearable. Oh my god, maybe the mirror in the water has done something to this iron spirit. That's all. Since we don't own this thing, we don't need to touch it, lest it gets damaged and we can't afford to accompany it.
"With that said, he put the iron spirit back into the square box.
Suddenly he remembered something and said, "This iron essence is very precious, and it was taken from the mirror in the water. How can we guarantee that the mirror in the water will not have other thoughts, let alone the countless people hiding in the dark who covet it. As for this
Tie Jing’s protection, what can you teach me?”
As soon as this question came out, everyone shrank their heads.
It's true that Tie Jing is a treasure, but it's not his own. He can't take it home with him. Losing it would be too big a crime, and no one would dare to take the blame.
Qi Peilin said simply, "This thing is precious and should be kept by the general himself. I think with the general's reputation, ignorant people should be able to retreat after hearing the news."
Gao Junmo glanced at Qi Peilin with dissatisfaction, "Gao has recently studied Xuan Gong. At this critical moment, I'm afraid he doesn't have the energy to protect this thing. Which of the three of you is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"
Li Zhongshu said, "Does this need to be said? In addition to the generals, our patrol department also belongs to Chief Xu, whose reputation is far and wide. His ability is well-known in Guang'an. If Chief Xu is there to watch over him, he will be able to ensure that the iron spirit is safe and sound."
"Li, since you must play, why don't you just play it?"
Xu Yi gritted his teeth in his heart, but said, "Of course I am willing to work for the director, but this matter is not a trivial matter and I cannot bear it alone. After all, Xu is not made of iron and can stay up all day and all night."
"Since the four of us are the chief's confidants, if the chief has something to do, the four of us will work together. How about this, from tonight onwards, this iron spirit will arrange the White Tiger Festival Hall, and the four of me will take turns guarding it.
, and deploy heavy troops nearby to ensure that everything is safe."
"This method is very good, fair and reasonable, no one will suffer, and with the four of you protecting me at the same time, I can sit back and relax, that's it." Gao Junmo made the final decision.
Li Zhongshu was about to say more, but Gao Junmo waved his hand to stop him, "Since King Feng Jian values Tie Jing, he must have come very quickly. I guess the four of you will not have to work hard for a few days. Why, Zhongshu, after such hard work,
Don’t you want to take the responsibility for Gao?”
Gao Junmo accentuated his tone. He was vaguely dissatisfied that Li Zhongshu had trouble with Xu Yi because of his selfishness that could not be tolerated by outsiders.
"Zhongshu dare not! I am willing to serve the general!"
Li Zhongshu knelt on one knee and said.
How could he not hear Gao Junmo's displeasure and dare not talk anymore.
After assigning the task, Gao Junmo left by himself. Xu Yi and the four of them had their own plans and looked at each other in silence. They sat there for a while and Li Zhong wrote, "Why are there four people here? It's better to take turns to take charge. Mr. Xu will stay in the first round, and I'll wait."
The three of us first found rooms on the left and right to rest. If there was any noise, Chief Xu shouted, and the three of us would arrive in an instant. Two hours later, Chief Xu was replaced by Li. After Li, Peilin and Bai came.
Brother Han comes to the rear, and the cycle repeats."
All Xu Yi could think about was where the heat came from when he touched Tie Jing just now, and Gao Junmo also said that he felt the heat.
Since he was anxious to find out the truth, Li Zhongshu asked him to take the lead, and he naturally agreed without hesitation.
Xu Yi, the one who took the lead, had no objections, and Qi Baihan and Song Peilin naturally had no objections.
After the four people discussed it, Qi, Li, and Song each left the White Tiger Festival Hall and found rooms to rest in the wings on the left and right.
It was evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the blue roof, cutting out a bright red.
Xu Yi took out the jade box from his arms, caressed it gently, and put it back into his arms. After a while, he opened the square box again, took out the iron spirit, pressed his palms, and let it change shape. He played with it for a while, and then it was ready.
Put it back in the box.
At this moment, it was not dark yet, and Li Zhongshu and the other two people had dispersed, but their vigilance was still there, and I don’t know how many people were secretly observing this place.
Xu Yi would not be stupid enough to try it out now. However, in order to appear natural, he had to take out the iron essence and play with it.
Otherwise, it would be too deliberate.
After all, it is impossible for ordinary people to resist the temptation of not touching the treasure when it is nearby.
An hour and a half later, as night fell, the handyman in charge of the White Tiger Festival Hall came forward to light the lamps, but Xu Yi waved him away.
He has a strong soul and is not afraid of the dark night. If he lights a lamp, he will use this place as a target.
After a while, it was already dark, and the timing was so good that even the moon tactfully hid.
Xu Yi opened the square box again, held the iron essence the size of a chicken egg in one hand, and held the iron essence the size of a duck egg in his arms with the other hand, using his palms to move them at the same time.
Suddenly, there was a strong flow of heat flowing between the palms of both hands. After a while, the hand in the arms became hotter and hotter, while the hand in the box became colder and colder.
There seems to be energy being transferred between the two!
His eyes were always locked on the iron essence in the box. Xu Yi finally saw the subtle changes. The amount of iron essence in the box was clearly reduced by a tiny bit.
Those tiny bits are so small that if you don't stare at it, observe the whole process, and compare the before and after rashly, you won't notice it at all.
Xu Yi quickly let go of his hand, feeling extremely surprised.
At the auction that day, the main auctioneer held the iron spirit, displayed it in front of everyone, and personally used the power of his palm to transform the iron spirit.
At that time, Xu Yi's piece of iron essence was in his waist bag, but nothing strange was detected.
This time, if it weren't for a coincidence that he and Gao Junmo activated their palm power at the same time, he really wouldn't have known that there was such a mysterious attraction between the two iron spirits.
At this moment, he did another experiment, only to find that the iron spirit in his arms was attracted to the iron spirit in the square box. No, it should be said that it was a devouring force.
This astonishing discovery confused Xu Yi. Until Li Zhongshu came to change his shift in a grand manner, Xu Yi was still deep in thought, and even forgot to reply to Li Zhongshu's strange words.
