428: Chapter 428 Western Han Dynasty Bronze Mirror with Four Divine Beasts
Han Jingyang raised an eyebrow.
What is the meaning of this, Li Laowu?
Pestering?
Emphasizing shamelessness?
Taking beatings without fighting back and insults without retorting?
What other treasures could he have?
Heh.
Does he really think everyone is blinded by greed?
Besides, what kind of treasure could a bumpkin like Li Laowu, who sells sand, possibly have?
Thinking this, he nodded towards Shi Xiaoya.
Shi Xiaoya, with a cold face, raised her blade and marched straight towards Li Laowu: "Li, are you looking for death?"
Li Laowu, however, clutched a brocade box and kowtowed repeatedly: "I beg you, just take a look, just one look. It really is a good thing, a great treasure. It is, it is something a Feng Shui Master would love most. If I cannot satisfy you, I, I will be hit by a car the moment I step out, no hesitation."
Han Jingyang sneered: "Li Bing, I am the type who yields to soft approaches but not hard ones. From the moment you gave my father a hard time, there was no room for reconciliation between us. You should be grateful you didn't make a move, otherwise you would have died ten thousand times over by now. Now, get lost. Take your treasure and get as far away as possible. If you dare to loiter in front of me again, don't blame me for killing you."
Li Bing was instantly drenched in cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Han, I, I will tell the truth."
"Oh?"
"I was entrusted by someone to come here. He, he told me I must deliver this gift into your hands, saying, saying it is an apology for what happened before, and guaranteeing that the things from the past will never happen again..."
"The one who called you?"
"Yes."
"Who is he?"
"I don't know, I only know he has immense power."
"What else do you know?"
"This..."
"Speak."
"Another time on the phone, I heard someone call out 'Mr. Zhou', but I don't know if they were addressing him."
"Anything else?"
"No, really, nothing else, Mr. Han. I'm just an insignificant little thug; how would I have the qualifications to know such high-end information? I wouldn't dare to know either, otherwise I wouldn't have been blinded by a mere few tens of thousands of yuan."
Han Jingyang nodded slightly.
This Li Laowu is indeed not much of a figure.
His social status is similar to that of a small contractor at the township level, having monopolized the sand business in a few surrounding villages, with a few thugs under him acting tough. He can get by in the township, but in reality, he is nothing.
And as for the monopoly, it's not necessarily a true one. If one really wanted to buy sand from outside or from others, Li Laowu would have no way to stop them other than trying to scare people.
Such a person doesn't even count as a martial artist; he has absolutely no qualifications to participate in high-level martial arts battles.
Arm-wrestle with Han Jingyang?
One hundred Li Laowus put together would still be far from qualified.
Therefore, this is just a puppet.
The 800,000 yuan antique sent before, and the treasure sent now, were all sent by the person pulling the strings.
The purpose, surely, is to ease the conflict with him; in all likelihood, they were terrified by his frantic retaliatory actions.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this.
Because the other party could have completely hidden away, acting as if nothing had happened. As long as they didn't show themselves, he would likely not be able to find them, and over time, he might have forgotten about this matter.
But the other party took the risk of exposure to actively show goodwill.
This is interesting.
They were scared quite badly.
And they lacked confidence in being able to escape his search.
But regardless, the attitude is quite good.
Han Jingyang nodded towards Shi Xiaoya.
Shi Xiaoya took the box, opened it directly to take a look, and only after confirming there was no danger did she pass it into Han Jingyang's hands.
Han Jingyang took a glance.
The moment he saw the item inside, the corner of his eye twitched involuntarily.
This thing... is indeed a treasure.
It is a bronze mirror.
But not the common bagua mirror.
It is a Four Divine Beast Mirror.
To be precise, this is a bronze Four Divine Beast Mirror, quite ancient. Looking at the red spots and green rust, it is definitely something from before the Tang Dynasty.
The styling of the four divine beasts is also quite archaic.
Could it really be a West Han Bronze Four Divine Beast Mirror?
If it's real, the value is extraordinary.
In such good condition, the market price is at least one million, perhaps even higher.
They were willing to spend a fortune.
The sincerity is ample.
Han Jingyang reached out and picked up the mirror.
"Ding: Discoverable item found. Do you want to appraise it?"
"Yes/No."
Appraise.
"Name: West Han Bronze Four Divine Beast Mirror."
"Grade: Rank 2."
"Attribute: Suppression +24."
"Skills: Spirit of the Four Symbols, Divine Beast Protection, Divine Beast Suppression, Four Symbols Seal."
Holy crap!
Awesome!
Too awesome!
This mirror is truly a divine artifact!
Rank 2.
Suppression +24!
Four skills, and each one stronger than the last!
A divine artifact!
Undoubtedly a divine artifact!
It is not inferior in the slightest to the other Rank 2 item, the storage bag. The functions are different, but the effects are both heaven-defying.
Not to mention anything else, just that 24 points of Suppression attribute alone could crush the vast majority of experts.
The skill Spirit of the Four Symbols summons the Four Symbols, which are the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. The spirit bodies of the four divine beasts will assist him in battle, capable of both offense and defense, and are extremely powerful.
Divine Beast Protection, as the name implies, is summoning the four divine beasts to protect himself or a designated target. That defense... is enough to make the world's top experts despair.
Divine Beast Suppression is summoning the four divine beasts to suppress a target, with an effect that is... permanent.
Four Symbols Seal is similar to Divine Beast Suppression, but more overbearing. It can create a domain where both time and space are completely frozen; everything within the domain stops moving, a state of absolute stillness. The effect is theoretically also permanent, as long as enough Qi can be provided.
Very powerful!
Extremely powerful!
If used well, he could even kill a true god!
Han Jingyang took a deep breath, his gaze landing on Li Laowu, and he said with a calm expression: "Li Bing, for the sake of this item, I will let bygones be bygones. You go back. If that Mr. Zhou calls you again, notify me immediately."
Li Laowu was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and then quickly got into his car and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Han Jingyang nonchalantly put away the mirror and waved his hand: "Drive."
The motorcade left.
The crowd of onlookers, the villagers, began to gossip.
"This Li Laowu is really willing to go all out."
"He is a person of some standing, yet he doesn't even care after being slapped in the face by Mr. Han like that."
"Looking at it, it's not that he doesn't care, it's that he doesn't dare to care. Mr. Han is a true big shot now."
"Indeed, hearing that tone, Li Laowu is just a messenger. Mr. Han doesn't even look at him."
"I said before that Mr. Han is not a simple person, but you all refused to believe it. Do you believe it now?"
"Who didn't believe it? Who didn't believe it? Don't talk nonsense."
"Anyway, be polite to him in the future. It won't hurt, and maybe one day we can benefit from it too."
"Isn't everyone here to help?"
"Yes, we must build this house well and keep their family in the village. Otherwise, if we want to ask for their help in the future, we won't know where to find them."
"As neighbors, we must help each other."
"He doesn't like you poor neighbors now. He bought a villa in the city; he'll go wherever it's comfortable to live. Maybe one day he'll move to the Capital or Lucheng."
