Chapter 624: Cornucopia
Master Jiu told Zhao Xu that he didn't know if the treasure Chen Wansan got was a "treasure pot". However, according to the records of the ancestors of their five major families, Chen Wansan did get a treasure. As for what it was, it is unknown.
Jiu Ye told Zhao Xu that there were many versions of the story about Chen Wansan's "Treasure Basin" at that time. But there are two more people who have passed down to this point: one is that Chen Wansan saw someone selling hundreds of frogs and was preparing to kill these frogs. Chen Wansan couldn't bear to see these frogs being killed, so he bought all of these frogs with money and placed them in the pond so that they could live a leisurely and relaxed life.
Later one day, Chen Wansan passed by the pond and saw a large number of frogs standing in a circle on a tiled basin. He was croaking, as if saying, "Chen Wansan, Chen Wansan, please take the tiled basin home!" So Chen Wansan took the tiled basin home and used it as a toiletry utensil.
Once, when he was washing his hands with a clay pot, the ring he wore on his hand fell into the clay pot. It was not until the next morning that he realized that he went to the clay pot to find the ring. At this time, Chen Wansan suddenly found that the entire clay pot was filled with rings.
Chen Wansan was very surprised and tried it with gold and silver in the clay pot, but the entire clay pot was filled with gold and silver! It turned out that this clay pot was the so-called treasure pot! Therefore, Chen Wansan's wealth was as rich as a country, and no one could compare to it.
Another version is that Lu Deyuan, a wealthy man in Sucheng, was rich in Jiang Zuo in the Yuan Dynasty. He admired Chen Wansan's intelligence and business credit. He felt that he was old and had seen through the world. If the huge amount of property in his hand was not passed on to others, once the situation was turbulent, it would cause disaster. So he gave it all to Chen Wansan, and went to Kaiyun Pavilion by Chenghu Lake to become a Taoist priest until his death. Chen Wansan got this huge amount of money from Lu Deyuan, which was like a tiger.
Another version says that Chen Wansan's wife saw a basin floating in the river, and there were two goldfish swimming around in the basin. Later, after taking the basin home, a piece of stuff could produce several more pieces. Chen Wansan used this "treasure pot" to become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty.
After finishing his talk to Zhao Xu, Ninth Master smiled and said, "Of course, these legends are all rumors that cannot be verified. However, according to our ancestors, the wealth that Chen Wansan left in the underground palace hides a huge secret. Whether that secret is about the treasure pot, it is unknown."
Zhao Xu already has a net worth of billions, but he has no intention of greed for the "grape pot". However, he is very interested in the legendary life of Chen Wansan.
The fact that Shen Wansan is rich enough to rival a country has been circulating among the people.
Originally, Zhao Xu didn't want to be interested in things hundreds of years ago. But Chen Wansan's affairs were related to his ancestors. It was not only related to his ancestors, but also to his personal safety, and even to his family.
Zhao Xu definitely doesn't want his wife Li Qingqing and daughter Xiao Yezi to be in danger. He knows that blindly enduring is not a solution, and he must take the initiative to solve the problem.
After listening to the story of Jiu Ye, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered the "holy altar" mentioned by Canjian Hu A in the provincial capital. I wonder if the two would be related.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu told Jiu Ye about the discovery of the Canjian Hu A in the provincial capital. He asked Jiu Ye what he thought about this matter.
After hearing Zhao Xu's words, Jiu Ye looked very serious and said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Xu, as you say, the people from the holy altar want to kill descendants of the five major families as their own responsibility, and that must be our enemy. However, after so many years, I don't know whether they are from the East Factory, from the West Factory, or from the Jinyiwei."
"Jiu Master, are there really people from the East Factory or the West Factory in this world? Are those people not eunuchs? Do they still have descendants?" Zhao Xu asked Jiu Master in confusion.
Jiu Ye smiled and said, "Zhao Xu! There are actually many ancient people in this world. You think we have taken our five major families as an example. Our ancestors were from the Ming Dynasty. By the way, didn't you know a doctor named Hua Yi? Her ancestor was Hua Tuo from the Three Kingdoms period. In addition, there was a Master Lu in the provincial capital. He was a skilled craftsman, and his ancestors were even more amazing. He was the craftsman of Lu Ban. In addition, Shaolin and Wudang, these are all martial arts sects passed down. As for whether the people from the East and West Factory exist? I can tell you that they exist, but they just exist in this world with another identity. Although these people are eunuchs, they have adopted and cultivated many killers. The mission of these people is to eradicate the descendants of our five major families. Therefore, you must be careful."
Zhao Xu felt frightened and uneasy when he heard this. He never thought that his background was destined to be killed.
After hearing what Master Jiu said, Zhao Xu asked Master Jiu: "Mr. Jiu, since we know the opponent, why don't our five major families take the initiative?"
"Take the initiative?" Jiu Ye smiled and said, "Although the strength of our five major families has grown, don't forget that the opponent's strength is also growing. What's more, we are in the light and they are in the dark. However, you say this altar is indeed suspicious."
"So, I'm going to have a walk to the provincial capital!" Zhao Xu said.
When Master Jiu heard this, he asked in surprise: "Are you going to the provincial capital?"
"Yes! I'm going to the provincial capital to see this holy altar in person. Because there is a man named Shura Knife in the altar. When I was in the provincial capital, he assassinated me. So, I must find out whether he discovered the true identity of my five major families or had a personal hatred towards me."
"I heard that there are three experts on the holy altar and four experts on the holy altar. In addition, there are still people who don't know at all. If you want to go to the provincial capital to break into the holy altar, it's tannery. This is too dangerous."
"Don't worry, Master Jiu! Nongquan's cultivation has broken through to the Heavenly List. Besides, there is the first person in the Heavenly List, Mr. Kong, and Xiaodao, who helped me. These three Heavenly List masters alone are enough for the other party to eat a pot. Moreover, I have just recruited a master ranked eighth on the Earth List, Canjian Hu."
Master Jiu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The masters on the "Martial God List!" can be said to be difficult to find high prices. If you are not rich, you can recruit masters on the "Martial God List" and you must have a certain degree of strength. Some wealthy consortiums recruit only masters on the "Man List" and are awesome and lightning all the way. Real masters are recruited by some special institutions.
It is undoubtedly great news for Zhao Xu to be able to attract the eighth-ranked Jian Hu, the Candid Sword Hu, who is ranked eighth on the "Earth List".
Master Jiu took Zhao Xu's hand and said whisperedly: "Xiaoxu! The resources around you are really great. Only you have the hope of uniting our five major families again. Remember to keep strengthening your strength while not being exposed, the stronger the better. This will defeat those factory dogs. Otherwise, with their methods of acting, once the target person is discovered, I will slaughter my whole family. I have received the Soul Chasing Dart, and I am afraid my life will not last long. If I die, Jiutang will be handed over to you to take charge."
