Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

Chapter 126: Seven-star formation, one and a half years

Views:

In May, the auction company under the Huaxia Group held a special auction of jade and furniture in Qingshi, which can be described as a major event in the collection industry. The collection of ancient jade and ancient furniture, and on-site appraisal will satisfy collectors!

In terms of ancient jade, jade before the Ming Dynasty is called ancient jade, and jade before the Han Dynasty is called Gao ancient jade. There are very few ancient jades in existence, mostly Hetian jades, and they are rare in the hands of collectors. But this auction really yielded a piece of ancient jade! A Hetian jade tablet with dragon and phoenix patterns from the Western Han Dynasty.

This jade token was an eye-opener for many collectors, but unfortunately it was not the jade piece Xia Shao was looking for.

Jade with auspiciousness is definitely not easy to find among the people. Xia Shao was trying to find a needle in a haystack. Before the auction appraisal session started, he made several on-site appraisals at the company in the name of appraisal. Unfortunately, most of them were imitation earth rust. , Xueqin's high imitation, genuine products are few, and they do not meet Xia Shao's standards.

But many things in the world are just coincidences. For this auction, Huaxia Group put great efforts into on-site appraisal. In order to publicize and create excitement, the company announced that even collectors who do not want to submit to the auction can participate in on-site expert appraisal. To debate the authenticity of the collection, of course, it is limited to jade pieces and furniture. And after the appraisal, if it is genuine, it needs to be recorded in the company.

The free appraisal opportunity, and it is not compulsory to send it for photography. Such a good thing naturally attracts many people.

On the day of the appraisal meeting, the provincial TV station and many media reported on the spot. Nine on-site appraisals were held alone, and it took five days to complete. It was a grand event!

Xia Shao took a rare leave from school and was present all day, sitting in the jade appraisal session without missing a beat! But for four consecutive days, the company gained a lot, but for her personally, she gained nothing.

Just when Xia Shao had made the final plan to accept a few pieces of old jade from collectors, and went to famous mountains and rivers to look for Feng Shui treasure caves during the summer vacation, an old man came to the jade appraisal session on the last day.

The old man was holding a square rosewood box in his hand. It looked like the box was old. The experts hadn't opened the box to look at the items inside, but they laughed just seeing the box.

"Old man, your square rosewood box is made of old rosewood from the Qing Dynasty. It is a good item worth collecting."

After hearing this, the old man's reaction was very different from that of most collectors. Most people would smile happily and thank the experts profusely when they heard that they were collecting good things. But the old man didn't show any surprise. He just nodded calmly, as if he already knew the age of the object in his hand.

The old man looked a bit majestic and didn't speak much. He just pushed the red sandalwood box in front of the expert's eyes and said, "Look at the jade pieces inside."

As soon as the experts' eyes fell into the box, they said "yo".

Xia Shao was sitting aside and almost stood up excitedly!

This old rosewood box contains eighteen grids, divided into three rows, with six small square grids in each row. There are thumb-sized Hetian jade Arhat carvings placed in the grids, with different shapes and lifelike shapes!

However, these jade Arhat carvings are not complete. There are not eighteen pieces, only half, occupying half of the nine grids in the box. That is, only nine pieces.

Although it was incomplete, it was still an unexpected surprise for Xia Shao. Because in her eyes, these Arhat carvings contain rich auspiciousness and are magical weapons!

Experts date this set of Hetian Jade Arhat to the Qing Dynasty. The high-quality Hetian jade seed material has been collected from generation to generation and was not taken out from the ground. Therefore, it is still shiny and moist, which is very pleasing.

"If this set of jade pieces were complete, it would really fetch a good price. It's a pity that it is missing, but good items are rarely perfect, so it would be good to get half of them together." Experts said.

The staff on the side asked routinely: "Old man, do you want to send this set of jade for auction? If you need to send it for auction, please go through the submission procedures. If not, please allow us to make a backup copy of this collection."

The old man was obviously a little hesitant when he heard this. He hesitated and hesitated while holding the set of jade items. In the end, he shook his head and simply asked the staff to back up the data. Then he left with the items in his arms.

When Xia Shao saw it, how could he just let it go? She quickly got up and chased after him.

The company has done enough security work for this on-site appraisal meeting. Whether it is for delivery or for final departure with the items, there will be exclusive passages and strict security arrangements to prevent chaos.

Xia Shao followed the passage and saw an old lady waiting anxiously at the entrance. When she saw the old man walking out with a bag and a box, her face immediately dropped.

"You didn't send it for the photo and then brought it back? What's the matter with you old man! Have my son and I done your ideological work in vain these past two days?"

The old man held the jade in his arms without saying a word and allowed the old lady to accuse him.

"I said you still think this jade piece has not brought enough trouble to our family? Your daughter-in-law had a miscarriage because of worshiping Buddha! You still keep these Arhats at home! You can tell yourself, you want something passed down from this family. Or do you want our family to have a heir? You are already so old and you don’t want to hold a grandson, but I still want to hold him!"

The old man had probably heard too much nagging. He frowned and said a little bored: "Why do you always blame me for my daughter-in-law's miscarriage? I already told you that this set of jade jewelry has nothing to do with me! Why do you keep talking about it?" ? This set of jade pieces was passed down from my generation, from the Qing Dynasty! I still want to keep it as a family heirloom!"

"Ah! Your daughter-in-law has had a miscarriage and you still want to pass it on? Who are you passing it on to? Your son has been blaming you these days, why don't you hurry up and give it away! It's just time to add some money to the family and bring the daughter-in-law back from her parents' home." As the old lady spoke, she stretched out her hand to grab the bag in the old man's arms, "Let's go, let's go, if you don't want to let me go, I won't! I want my grandson! Give me the things, and I'll take the photos!"

The old man became anxious when he saw it, and the two of them started fighting over each other in the passage. The security personnel heard that they were a family and knew that it was a household matter, so they only offered some words of advice. However, Xia Shao in the distance was frightened, fearing that the two old men would snatch the jade pieces and break them into pieces. . She had put a lot of effort into finding these magic weapons.

Xia Shao immediately walked over and said, "Old man, if I can help you with your daughter-in-law's matter, can you give me this set of jade pieces?"

With her words, the two old men stopped arguing and both turned to look. When the old lady saw her calm smile and elegant temperament, the fierce old man's expression softened. He looked at Xia Shao for a while and said, "This little girl looks familiar... I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

The security guard next to him said: "This is the chairman of our Huaxia Group, Miss Xia."

The two old people immediately showed a look of surprise. The old lady took Xia Shao's hand, looked at her as if she were a stranger, and said with a smile: "It's you! It's you! I've seen you on TV! Look! Look at this, he is more likable in person than on TV! You are here just in time, are you the boss of the auction company? Let me tell you, we are going to auction this set of jade pieces from my house, you... "

"Who said you want to give it up for auction!" The old man interrupted unhappily, "This is a family heirloom, not for sale!"

"I said you old man, why are you so stubborn!"

Hearing the two old men arguing again, Xia Shao couldn't help but smile and said: "Two old men, can you tell me about your daughter-in-law? I have some research on Feng Shui, and I may be able to help you."

The two old men were stunned when they heard this. Feng shui? Does she understand

Are you kidding me? Such a young girl!

"It's not a matter of Feng Shui at all, it's just the old woman's superstition. It's just a coincidence that she has to rely on me! Anyway, I won't sell these jade pieces!"

"I heard what you said just now. Your daughter-in-law had an abortion after worshiping Buddha? Did she perform a grand ceremony when she went to the temple to burn incense?" Xia Shao didn't try to persuade her and went straight to the point.

The two old men were stunned again when they heard this, and the old lady nodded quickly, "Yes, yes! I prayed! She was four months pregnant at that time, and she had a miscarriage when she came back. She didn't fall or catch a cold. I heard that her mother-in-law later The blame was that pregnant women could not go to the temple to worship the Buddha, and the Buddha couldn't bear it. It happened that there were these Arhats in my house, and I felt bad when I heard it. There were several Arhats! My daughter-in-law was in my house, why didn't she conflict? Her family members said that if we don’t sell these things or pack them up elsewhere, she won’t come back to live! But I’m so anxious. No, I’ve been discussing this with this old man for several days, and I’ve been trying to persuade her. Yesterday I finally agreed at night, but today I regretted it! You should take these jade pieces to the auction, our family is determined not to want them anymore!"

"My daughter-in-law has never paid homage to these Arhats at home, so don't worry about it!" the old man said.

The old lady glared at him and held on to Xia Shao, "You don't know that Arhats like him came from the temple! That was an old temple. It used to be very popular, but during the war years, the little devils came and took it away. The temple was burned down. The monks inside were scattered and died. These white jade Eighteen Arhats were originally a set. When the temple was destroyed, a few were lost and broken, and only half of the set was left. That temple The abbot had a lifelong friendship with our old man and his father. When he passed away, he gave him half of the set of Jade Arhats. The old abbot was an eminent monk, and the thing in his hand, the old man said, must be very effective! Now I'm just afraid of it. What if my daughter-in-law collides with it and gets a miscarriage?"

After hearing this, Xia Shao had an idea. No wonder this set of jade arhats has such a strong auspicious aura. It turned out that they were worshiped by eminent monks in temples and later became among the people.

She was really hit by this. She had to convince the two old men to give this magical weapon to her!

"Old man, pregnant women can enter the temple to worship the Buddha, but they can burn incense but cannot worship. Although the Buddha said there are no taboos, he is compassionate and pregnant women are the most important, so they do not need to worship. If you worship, you will be in conflict." Xia Shao said, these are folk sayings , the miscarriage of the daughter-in-law of these two elderly people may not necessarily be related to this matter, but if the old lady wants to have a child, she has a way.

"Did you see it? Even little girls know this!" The old lady's expression changed upon hearing this, and she said to the old man.

The old man frowned, and Xia Shao smiled, and then explained, "But the matter of your daughter-in-law has nothing to do with the half set of Arhats in the old man's hands. This is not the same as the sitting statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple. Since there is no Bye, there’s no such thing as a collision.”

After saying this, the old lady was stunned, and the old man felt relieved, "I just said it has nothing to do with me! Let's go home."

"What home should you go to? You still have to sell this thing! My daughter-in-law's family is very particular about this. If you don't sell it, what will you do if they don't ask your daughter-in-law to come back?"

"Old man." Xia Shao spoke at this time, "If you two elders are serious about seeking a grandson, I can go to your home to check the feng shui."

"You? Are you looking at Feng Shui?" The two old men looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, "Little girl, these things are mysterious. How do you understand at your age? Okay, I know you want this set of jade pieces from me. , but don’t fool me either.”

When the old man said this, the security personnel of the Huaxia Group next to him couldn't stand it anymore. "Say, old man, you didn't even bother to inquire about this. Our chairman looks at Feng Shui, so no matter how many people queue up to make an appointment, we may not be able to get it." She took the initiative to visit your home today, are you still not happy?"

"Let's do this, old man. I'll go to your home and have a look. If it looks good, you can consider this jade. If it doesn't look good, I won't be shy and won't persuade you again. How about this?" Xia Shao It was obvious that the old man had a stubborn temper, so he could only take a roundabout way.

The old man curled his lips and looked like he wanted to think about it, but the old lady agreed without saying a word! Li Ma took Xia Shao home.

The old couple lives with their son and daughter-in-law on the third floor of a unit building in a community in the city center.

As soon as Xia Shao entered the door, her first impression was that the room was quite spacious and bright. The young couple looked very fashionable at first glance. Their room was decorated in a modern and young style, with personality everywhere.

Xia Shao looked around from house to house. The old couple were following closely behind. Obviously they didn't trust Xia Shao very much. They only boldly brought her into the house because she was a well-known celebrity in Qing City.

Xia Shao didn't mind either. After seeing the layout of the room, he shook his head and asked with a smile: "Old man, how long have your son and daughter-in-law been married?"

"It's been three years. What?" the old lady asked quickly.

"Is this your daughter-in-law's first miscarriage?" Xia Shao turned around and asked.

The expression of the old man and the old lady immediately changed, and the old lady nodded quickly, "Yes! It's not the first time! I had a miscarriage last year, and this year I couldn't save the child! Her family heard that she went to the temple to worship Bodhisattva, and she heard that her family There were nine Jade Arhats invited by the temple, and they directly said that these Jade Arhats were responsible for the trouble. After taking their daughter back, they would not let her back. They said that when we send these Jade Arhats away, when will we send people back? Send her back. Her parents feel sorry for their daughter, which we can understand, and we also want to have a grandchild as soon as possible."

"It has nothing to do with Jade Arhat. There are big Feng Shui problems with the decoration of the couple's wedding room." Xia Shao stood at the door of the room and said, "This room is spacious, with too many windows covering all four sides. It's bright and bright. , but things must be reversed. From a scientific point of view, too many windows can make people feel insecure, and pregnant women will not be able to feel stable, which will inevitably increase the chance of miscarriage. From a Chinese perspective, too many windows will not trap fetal air. One or two windows in a room should be used Best for the Lord. Also…”

Xia Shao smiled. This young couple was quite interesting. The bed was actually a round bed, and it was movable. They were not afraid of making too much noise at night.

"In addition, this bed needs to be changed. It should be replaced with a square one, and it cannot be movable. The ancients said that the sky is round and the earth is square. No matter how far this concept is from modern science, from a psychological point of view, a square shape is the most stable. It is easy to make people feel at ease. Pregnancy and conception are things that require peace of mind, so this bed can easily make people feel insecure. Your daughter-in-law often wakes up at night after being pregnant and has many dreams, right?"

The old lady was already surprised when she heard this, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Yes! I just wake up often from fright, and I can't sleep well. My son also mentioned it a few times, and I thought it was a pregnant woman who was in such a mood, and I comforted her a few times. In other words, I bought a lot of supplements to soothe the nerves, but they just didn’t work. The first time I lost my baby like this, this year I saw she was pregnant again, and I thought about taking her to the temple to worship, but who would have thought... ugh!"

Xia Shao also sighed, looking at the couple's room and shaking her head. Although a bed that is too sexy can easily improve the quality of a couple's life, it is more important to have a stable pregnancy. Pregnant women are always cautious when they are pregnant, fearing that something will happen. If you sleep on a moving bed all day long, it’s amazing that you can sleep peacefully!

"According to the orientation of your house, this room is suitable for a young couple to live in, but there is a big problem with the decoration methods of the two of them. If the places I just mentioned need to be changed, please change them as soon as possible. In addition, if necessary, I can set up a Feng Shui tactic for the Qilin to send a baby, and help the couple get a Qilin baby early."

When the old lady heard this, she was so happy that she opened her mouth from ear to ear and said yes again and again. At this time, I had long forgotten that I didn't believe Xia Shao just now. After hearing what she said was so clear-cut, it was natural that she would do whatever she said! She doesn’t need money anyway, the only thing she wants is her set of jade pieces, and if these jade pieces are sold, her family will still have money, right

But the old man was still reluctant to part with this set of jade pieces. The old lady immediately told Xia Shao that if she tried to persuade him in the evening, she would give Xia Shao an answer. Urgent mood.

Xia Shao laughed and said that she didn't take anything and would come back tomorrow, so she left.

This excuse was because she really didn't take anything, and secondly, it was a little trick on her part. Seeing how eager this old lady is to beg her grandson, she will definitely work hard to do the old man's ideological work with her family. If she comes back tomorrow, the old lady will probably persuade her son more in the evening.

Sure enough, the old lady came to Huaxia Group the next day, holding in her hand half a set of jade arhat carvings that she had brought yesterday, and asked Xia Shao to go to her house to help set up a Feng Shui bureau for sending children.

Xia Shao asked the company's employees to go through the procedures for the old lady according to the bidding procedures. She did not mention that she wanted to collect it privately, lest the other party would raise the price. She only entrusted Xiong Huaixing to participate in the bidding on the day of the auction. Although a major domestic jade collector was interested in this set of jade pieces and followed it for several rounds, she could not resist Xia Shao's strong financial resources. Regardless of the market value, the price was higher than the previous transaction price. I won this lot for nearly three times the price!

Such high prices naturally boosted the popularity of jade collections, and the special auction of ancient furniture also achieved very gratifying results. In order to attract attention and do enough publicity, Xia Shao also gave this special auction of ancient furniture an ancient name - Carved Mountains, Painted Waters, Hidden Ming and Qing Dynasties. The auction site was decorated in an antique style, giving those who came to the site an arty addiction! Moreover, Xia Shao also invited several big collectors of ancient furniture in China. With the support of these people in bidding, the transaction price continued to rise. As soon as the auction ended, experts and scholars made a fuss about the trend of ancient furniture collection. It got hot that year!

The Huaxia Group naturally made a lot of money from this auction. The business community repeatedly praised Xia Shao's enthusiasm, but Xia Shao didn't take these praises seriously at all. What she was most happy about was getting the nine pieces of jade. Arhat’s magic weapon!

After calling Xu Tianyin over, Xia Shao took it out to show off in front of her senior brother.

Xu Tianyin nodded after reading it. As concise as ever, he only said two words, "Not bad."

Xia Shao hugged her, smiling so hard that her eyes turned into crescent moons.

Not long after the auction ended, and it was just June, Changjiu returned from the capital with his mother who had undergone surgery and was recovering well.

The mother and son went to Huaxia Group in person to express their solemn thanks to Xia Shao.

Changjiu's mother was, after all, thin in stature, but she was a kind and kind woman, polite in words and deeds. Although she was dressed plainly, she behaved like a lady.

“Mr. That's what people forced him to swear. This kid has nothing but filial piety and accepts death. The thing you mentioned is a legitimate way. It doesn't deceive people and can pass on this old skill. The most important thing is , it allows this child to rely on his skills to make a living, and there is nothing he cannot agree to. But he is afraid that if he tells me that I disagree, it will affect my mood for treatment. He delayed telling me until some time ago, and I hurriedly followed him as soon as he heard it. He's back. I have made Mr. Xia wait for half a year for just one sentence, and I feel really sorry."

After hearing this, Xia Shao quickly said it was okay and helped Chang Jiu's mother to sit down on the sofa.

"Since this is the case, then I will hand over this ineffective son to Mr. Xia. If he does something bad or wrong, feel free to criticize him. This kid takes death seriously, and sometimes he is very stubborn. If he wants to say something, If you don’t understand him, come to me! I’ll help you explain him.”

In this way, Changjiu successfully signed a contract with Huaxia Group, and the company funded the creation of two sets of high-imitation samples of pastel porcelain from the Yongzheng and Qianlong years of the Qing Dynasty.

After the samples came out, even Xia Shao was amazed. She not only called Chen Manguan and Ma Xianrong, but also called managers from antique stores across the country to come and a group of people gathered together.

Sitting in the conference room at the Huaxia Group headquarters are old guys who have been in the antiques industry for half their lives and can be called experts in their eyesight. But that day, they all got blindsided!

Everyone concluded that these two sets of pastel porcelain were genuine products from the Yongzheng and Qianlong years of the Qing Dynasty. They were well preserved and in complete appearance, which is really rare!

Seeing this situation, Xia Shao smiled mysteriously, clapped her hands, and the secretary sent in two more sets of pastel porcelain, which were exactly the same as the two sets on the table that everyone identified as genuine, but the ones underneath were printed with the words "Made in Great China"!

Everyone was stunned for a moment!

Four sets of identical pastel porcelain! Two sets from the Yongzheng period and two sets from the Qianlong period are exactly the same in shape and pattern! From a collection perspective, this is simply impossible! It is impossible for two sets of genuine products in existence to be exactly the same. The chance is too small.

What does this mean

While everyone was still horrified, Xia Shao stood up with a smile and threw the two sets of pastel porcelain on the table that were authenticated to the ground in front of everyone!

Her domineering and decisive actions made the hearts of everyone in the conference room tremble! Watching helplessly, two sets of precious pink porcelain pieces were shattered into pieces. But the girl who did all this stood in the position of the chairman and said with a smile: "These are fake items, no matter how real they are, we don't want them! What we want are these two sets of high-quality imitations signed with China. With this, March Ceramics Market.”

"High imitation?" Even if they still didn't believe it, everyone understood that the "genuine" that Xia Shao smashed was actually a high imitation, and the two sets of pastel porcelain signed "Made in Dahua Xia" on the table were made by the same person. !

"This is impossible! How did you make the pearlescent light on this? How can there be such a master now?" Ma Xianrong said in shock.

"I heard that such masters existed during the Republic of China, but it is unlikely that they will exist now." Chen Manguan also said while looking at Xia Shao. He couldn't help but smile in shock, "Mr. Xia's usual style is always to give us old people You guys are looking for excitement, where did you find such a talent? Stop being so pretentious, please come out and let’s meet."

Xia Shao then invited Chang Jiu out with a smile and asked him to tell everyone about his experience of inheriting this craft from his grandfather. After everyone heard this, they all sighed.

"If this craft is used in the right way, you are a master of craftsmanship!"

"Isn't it? There are still people like this today! It's incredible! If this were put on the market, it would cause quite a shock at home and abroad!"

"Mr. Xia, I'm impressed by you! You've dug out such a master!"

Chen Manguan chuckled, his eyes shining, "Mr. Xia, are you eyeing the Lin Group's position in the ceramics industry in Dongshi?"

Xia Shao smiled and didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"Haha, Mr. Sun really guessed it right." Chen Manguan shook his head and smiled, and then remembered, "In this case, Mr. Xia has to step up. I heard in Dongshi that in the past six months, Jiahui Group We have almost acquired Lin’s original shares, and when the acquisition is completed, we want to get involved again, can Mr. Li agree?”

In response, Xia Shao just smiled and picked up the tea cup on the conference table, sipping it slowly and lowering his eyes with a smile, "Do you think that with Mr. Li's crazy love for porcelain, he might not agree?"

Sure enough, Xia Shao's guess was right. When these two sets of pastel porcelain samples were passed to Jiahui Group, Li Boyuan actually put aside his busy schedule there and flew to Qingshi that day!

In the evening, Xia Shao held a banquet and gathered at the table with Li Boyuan, Chang Jiu, Chen Manguan, Ma Xianrong and managers from other provinces and cities of the antique shop. Li Boyuan marveled at Chang Jiu's skills and said that apart from when he was young, he had seen several old artists. After that, I never saw such a master-level figure again!

After praising Changjiu, Li Boyuan looked at Xia Shao with a smile, "My niece, tell me, what are your plans?"

Xia Shao smiled and said straightforwardly, "Uncle Li, we are in business. I want Lin Group's shares in Dongshi Ceramics Industry. Please take a look and see if you can give it to me?"

Li Boyuan stared, but he was smiling, "You have a big appetite!"

"If you don't have diamonds, I won't do the porcelain work. You may say that I raise the price on the ground, or that I have a big appetite. In short, I want these shares from you. If you give them to me, we will cooperate. If you don't give them, I will set up my own business." Shao said with a smile. But I heard people at the table wiping their sweat secretly - that's Mr. Li! The chairman was so rude!

Unexpectedly, Li Boyuan burst out laughing after hearing this. He was not angry at all, but looked very appreciative, "Can I say no?"

Li Boyuan and Xia Shao both knew that cooperation would be beneficial to each other. For Li Boyuan, Chang Jiu's skills are so superb. Once these pastel porcelains are released, they are bound to cause a sensation. With the brand and reputation, profits will follow. As for Xia Shao, her thoughts are on her studies and Huaxia Group, and she is already very busy. If the ceramic industry cooperates with Li Boyuan and Jiahui Group develops the market, she will save a lot of worry. Why not

The two hit it off immediately and had a great time at the banquet. On the contrary, I saw the managers from all over Fu Ruixiang looking at each other in confusion. Although they had heard that the chairman and Mr. Li were very familiar with each other, they did not expect that the two of them talked as if they had known each other for years, which was better than what the outside world said!

Follow the chairman and you will have food to eat!

This matter was agreed upon that night, and the procedures and other matters would be negotiated and handed over by Jiahui Group and Huaxia Group after Li Boyuan returned to Hong Kong.

It wasn't until the summer vacation that this was completed. When Xia Shao returned to Dongshi, he took Chang Jiu and his mother with him directly. From then on, mother and son settled down in Dongshi.

The fact that Huaxia Group took over the shares of Lin Group and became the leading ceramic company in Dongshi naturally caused quite a shock in Dongshi. He has been working as the technical director of a ceramics company for a long time and has risen to the upper class society of Dongcheng overnight.

During the summer vacation, Xia Shao was also very busy. The most important thing was the summer auction in Dongshi. Fortunately, the company's operations were very familiar with these auctions in the past few years, and everything was arranged smoothly. Xia Shao only had to attend some dances before the auction and the opening ceremony on the day of the auction.

As soon as the auction ended, Xia Shao didn't have much time to spend with her parents at home, so she drove back to Qingshi.

The private club is completed!

Although the landmark project constructed by Ada Real Estate encountered some difficulties and almost came to a halt midway, it was finally completed!

This area, which was considered unlucky due to the excavation of tombs from the Jin Dynasty, was finally completed successfully after many ups and downs, which solved a problem for the Qing government.

Jinda Real Estate, which was once glorious and now faces the crisis of being acquired, failed to do so, but was single-handedly killed by a foreign girl. This can be said to be a miracle.

On the day the project was completed, many people came to congratulate them, but some people were worried that the project was completed, but where were the buyers? If you can't sell it, you'll still lose money. Only when it is successfully sold can Ada Real Estate truly establish itself in the provincial real estate industry.

But just when some people were so worried, Emily attended the completion ceremony in person and announced a jaw-dropping news - this project built by Ada Real Estate has signed a contract with Huaxia Group, and Huaxia Group will serve as the Private club use.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar!

when did it happen? No one can tell. Some people suspect that Ada Real Estate has been involved with Huaxia Group early on, but they both know that Kinda Real Estate cannot accommodate Ada, so they have taken measures to keep it secret. But now that Kinda Real Estate is in trouble and cannot extricate itself, and the province is headed by Huaxia Group, Aida Real Estate is now fearless, so it has made the news public.

This guess is mostly correct, although there is no evidence.

Xia Shao allowed the outside world to speculate. She had not made public the idea that Ada Real Estate and Huaxia Group were one company for the time being, because once it was made public, first of all, there would be a press conference, and then various dinner activities. She did not have the energy now. All her energy was now put into setting up the formation.

The completed private club was built by Emily in accordance with Xia Shaogui's design drawings. It adopts a combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles, which not only matches the modern style of the city center, but also allows you to experience the unique feeling of an urban garden after entering the club.

From the construction to the distribution of trees and greenery, this private club looks exactly like a Bagua pattern when viewed from the air. The outer wall not only melted away the Heavenly Slashing Evil and Anti-Gong Evil on the opposite side, but also faintly introduced the general trend into it, laying the foundation for Xia Shao's formation.

The building of the club is divided into three parts. It looks like a modern building from the outside. Once inside, the decoration is completely traditional. It is divided into three buildings: sky, ground and people. Except for the ground building, the other two buildings have a patio in the middle. The bamboo forest has an interesting scenery, surrounded by four sides, listening to the music of the piano and tasting fragrant tea, which is very good for health.

The "Di" building is different. It is a courtyard-style building, surrounded by bamboo forests and does not accept outsiders. This is the place Xia Shao prepared for herself to set up formations and practice.

The courtyard is not big, just the first part of the house, but it is the center of the vitality and feng shui bureau of this club.

The formation that Xia Shao wants to set up is called the Seven Star Spirit Gathering Formation.

This array is powerful in energy. It can not only gather the vitality of heaven and earth here, but also draw it out. It can control the house, ward off evil spirits, disperse negative energy, enhance spirituality, calm the mind, restore the vitality and health of the body, and it can also gather wealth. effect.

If this formation is deployed well, it can maximize the surrounding magnetic field. However, the conditions for activating the formation are very demanding. Needless to say, the cultivation level of the person setting up the formation, the magic weapon is a very important part of it. That's why Xia Shao wanted to find a jade artifact.

According to "Tiangong Kaiwu", Hetian jade is made by absorbing the essence of moonlight. It is very spiritual and can complement the human body's breath and body temperature. It is the most abundant jade that can store up vitality for the human body.

The nine jade Arhat instruments that Xia Shao found were the seeds of Hetian jade from the Qing Dynasty. They were placed in temples and blessed by eminent monks and worshiped with incense. They were full of auspiciousness. In terms of the efficacy of the instruments, they can be said to be in line with the standards. Got it!

Xia Shao only wanted to use seven of the nine Jade Arhat's magical weapons. She put away two of them, planning to take them out if they were needed in the future.

This formation cannot be completed in one day. The time needs to be selected according to the direction. It can be placed and activated completely after seven days, and a complete energy field can be formed after forty-nine days.

On the day of setting up the formation, Xu Tianyin naturally arrived, but he still only stood by to support him, leaving the opportunity to set up the formation to Xia Shao for practice. But Xia Shao didn't intend to monopolize this opportunity. Anyway, she was going to set up a seven-day formation. She and her senior brother planned to spend one day each, and the two of them would work together to complete the formation.

The start and end of the seven-star spirit gathering array are very important. The first magic weapon to be activated needs to sense its auspicious energy first. After using its own vitality as a guide to strengthen the aura of the magic weapon and exert its power, it can Place in the selected orientation.

Xia Shao directly buried the jade pieces in the ground at the selected location to enhance the aura of this location. At the selected time the next day, Xu Tianyin buried the second magical artifact into the ground to guide the earth's energy. On the third day, after burying the third magical artifact, Xia Shao guided the auspicious energy of the magical artifact buried on the first day to the second magical artifact, and then to the third magical artifact, forming a triangular aura.

The next three days have to do the same thing, except that on the sixth day, after Xu Tianyin buries the magic weapon, he needs to activate a triangle aura, and then activate a circle from the first piece of magic weapon to the sixth piece. Shape aura.

On the seventh day, Xia Shao took action. This day consumes the most vitality, and it is necessary to completely draw out the power of these magic weapons. When the magic weapons are buried, Xia Shao immediately activates the energy of the seventh magic weapon, and adjusts the aura of the first six magic weapons. The clockwise direction is added to the seventh magic weapon, round and round, and needs to be repeated seven times!

This process consumes a lot of energy, and when the energy of these seven magic weapons is activated together, the power is beyond Xia Shao's expectation. Even if her energy is never consumed when casting the spell, she can barely withstand the rush of power. With such force, she almost retreated back. Fortunately, Xu Tianyin was protecting her from behind, so she did not suffer too much impact! But the spell was almost broken, so Xia Shao had to pick up the Immovable King's Seal with one hand and recite the Vajrasattva mantra in his mouth to bless himself and maintain his will to be immovable and unconfused.

This was still a stalemate for more than two hours. Only when the seventh circle was carried out, the order of inducing energy was changed, and the energy was surrounded in the order of 1,526,341, and the energy was strengthened circle by circle until it increased to When the limit reached the limit, it exceeded the scope of the entire courtyard. Xia Shaocai's eyes suddenly lit up, and with a wave of his right hand, he waved the energy field straight into the void, and shouted: "Come together!"

A clear drink came out, and the vibrating heaven and earth vitality in the yard gradually stopped, but Xia Shao leaned back and almost fell down!

But naturally she had no chance to kiss Dadi, but fell into Xu Tianyin's arms.

Xia Shao was panting, her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and her face was pale. These were all shaken by the power of the seven magic weapons. She was like this even if her vitality was not consumed. If it was consumed, I really don't know what kind of cultivation level can be completed unscathed in such an array.

She only knew that there were similar seven-star spirit gathering arrays in European magic, but they used crystals. The general method is similar, but there are requirements for the color and shape of the crystal. However, this formation is so difficult to achieve. I don’t know how many people in the world have this level of cultivation.

But no matter what, she has completed it, and she also believes that there must be masters in the world.

"This formation will take forty-nine days to fully survive. From now on, we won't go to the hotel on the weekends, just come here. Senior brother will also come on the weekends. Let's practice together. We have to go to Hong Kong in a year." Xia Shao said weakly .

Xu Tianyin nodded, frowning slightly, "Well, don't talk and rest."

After saying that, he picked up Xia Shao and went into the house.

Xia Shao's face turned red inexplicably. This courtyard was different from a hotel. It could really be regarded as her own territory. Will this man be more unscrupulous in his own territory from now on

But even if she was afraid of someone turning into a wild wolf unscrupulously, Xia Shao still had to come here. After the second semester started, she simply applied to the school, moved out of the dormitory, and moved directly to the clubhouse.

Every night after school, after finishing her homework, she would meditate in the yard and practice the Xuanmen method.

Zhang Ruman, who was successfully admitted to Qingshi No. 1 Middle School but could not meet Xia Shao frequently in school, was naturally dissatisfied with this. Liu Xianxian and Hu Jiayi also had a quarrel, saying that Xia Shao wanted to abandon them. Miao Yan was also reluctant to leave, but Xia Shao opened a room for her in the herringbone house and asked her to stay for a day on the weekend to regain her strength. I usually meditate and practice in the morning and evening, and on weekends I stay in the yard to practice after finishing my work.

If you practice in an ordinary place for a year, the effect will naturally be insignificant, but in the Seven Star Spirit Gathering Formation, the vitality of heaven and earth is extremely strong. Within a year, Xia Shao has felt that his spiritual consciousness has broadened and he is vaguely enlightened, but he still has Lacking an opportunity, I obviously felt that I had touched another layer of window paper, but I couldn't break it.

Regarding this, Xia Shao asked her master Tang Zongbo. Tang Zongbo only said that the cultivation of the mind method depends on the individual's talent and understanding, but the opportunity is something that can be encountered but not sought. Some people can meet it in three to five years, and some people can meet it in three to five years. It takes people twenty or thirty years, and some people may never meet them in their lifetime.

After hearing this, Xia Shao had no choice but to intensify her practice when the time came. She didn't dare to relax at all, and just waited for this opportunity.

But the opportunity can wait. The time to go to Hong Kong is there, and it is approaching day by day.

However, before going to Hong Kong, there was one more important thing for Xia Shao.

In fact, it's not very important. She doesn't value it herself, but Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan do.

It was Xia Shao's eighteenth birthday.

The couple felt that although in ancient times it was a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, according to modern times, fifteen is still a little too young, while eighteen is the age of legal adulthood.

Therefore, Xia Zhiyuan and Li Juan decided to organize their daughter's eighteenth birthday properly. Now they are different from the past and want to throw a glorious birthday party for their daughter!
