Raising the Demon

Chapter 696
"Crack!" A precious white jade tureen with animal patterns was thrown on the wall and smashed to pieces.

An angry face was reflected on the smooth inner wall of the shattered white jade tureen.

"Nonsense, blah, blah, blah, blah!" Wei Chaotian cursed nonsense seven or eight times in a row, and then slapped the monk standing in front of him: "Did you all conspire to deceive the old man? Tell me, who is it? Instigated you? Want to piss me off? No way!"

The cultivator was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, but he didn't dare to resist or dodge at all. He fought and said, "Patriarch... this... this is true..."

"You make me believe that the entire Tiantong Mine is gone?" Wei Chao was in a rage, and he felt that one of his unfilial sons was really going to get his way, and he was really going to be pissed off.

Even if you want to lie to me, please spend some thought and think of more reliable reasons, okay?

Do you really think this weird reason can convince me?
"Patriarch..." The cultivator didn't know how to convince the Patriarch, even he himself doubted his own eyes.

But in the image reflected in the water mirror, the entire Tiantong Mine really disappeared, together with the garrison stationed there, and the entire ground.

The current Tiantong Mine is a cliff tens of thousands of miles away. The water gushing out from nowhere is gradually filling up the terrifying abyss with a radius of thousands of miles, turning it into a huge inland lake.

But how is this possible?He could only say: "It must be... the people from Tiantong Mine must be joking with us, I must have been deceived by them, it must be like this..." Even the monk who came to report felt a little unconfident.

"Hmph, these bastards really have grown wings!" Wei Chaotian stood up abruptly, "Come here, show me the water mirror technique, let me see with my own eyes what happened..."

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Chaotian's eyes were glazed over, and he sat down on the chair, unable to move for a while.

"Impossible, impossible, there must be a mistake in the water mirror technique! Who performed the water mirror technique? Come out, get out!"

Wei Chaotian's crazy roar spread far away, causing countless people to be suspicious and look at each other. An unbelievable news spread like wildfire. No one in the Wei family could stop it. It spread all over the place almost in the blink of an eye. The entire Beijing, and then spread out.

"Family... Patriarch." After venting several times, Wei Chaotian finally calmed down, or rather, collapsed on the chair and stopped talking.A gray-haired old butler came out amidst the crowd, and said cautiously: "Patriarch, our auction is about to start in two hours, are you... going to participate in the auction?" ?”

"Auction?" Wei Chaotian laughed loudly, but the laughter did not have any sense of joy, but was full of sadness, "What else can we auction? The Sky Copper Mine is gone, and the Sky Copper Mine Mountain……"

"Patriarch, although the Tiantong Mine is gone, our Wei family has accumulated a large amount of precious ore over the years, and it will not be a problem to support it for a few years. Anyway, the ore has always been in our hands. As long as we raise the price of the ore High, to control the output of ore, our Wei family is still the Wei family that controls the ore. During this period, as long as we continue to search for ore veins and work hard to replenish them, the family can continue to maintain without being affected."

The old housekeeper had served the Wei family all his life, and now his words were sincere, well-founded, and well-organized. After he finished speaking, Wei Chaotian woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. Prepare for the auction! There must be no mistakes in this auction!"

Once he woke up, he immediately regained his dignity as the head of the Wei family, and issued a series of orders: "Immediately count the warehouse, I want a detailed reserve of all the ore, and then ask the accountant to calculate for me how much we need each year. Spend the money, and then re-determine the price of these ores!"

Everyone followed orders and went away one by one. Before they knew it, the panic atmosphere just now gradually disappeared.

After all, the Wei family is the Wei family, a family that has stood in the capital for countless years, it is not so easy to be crushed.

But soon, the person who followed the order to check the warehouse stumbled back and said in a panic: "Patriarch, no...it's not good...the warehouse...the warehouse..."

The warehouse is empty.

The storehouses of the Wei family were piled up like a mountain, guarded by countless heavy soldiers, and the guards were as strict as the palace's. The storehouses were empty, cleaner than Wei Chaotian's face.

This news was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. After a lot of turmoil, a report was finally presented to Wei Chaotian. The warehouse that was emptied was only the main warehouse of the Wei family. There is a small amount of inventory, and the ores that will be auctioned at the auction house this time have also been shipped to the auction house and have not been emptied. This is the only comforting place.

"Come on, we've increased the price by ten times for this auction... no, a hundred times!" After a long time, Wei Chaotian suddenly slapped the handrail, smashing the handrail he had rubbed countless times, and stood up. Get up, "Give me a new price list immediately, and send it to all those who come to participate in the auction!"

"However, Patriarch, the reference price has already been sent out before, and the temporary change..."

"No, but, go!" Wei Chaotian drove the man away, and then sat down again. After a long time, he said: "Come on, go and take stock of the family's jade reserves. We need to spend more effort on jade supply in the future." It's..."

Without the economic pillar of precious metals, the only thing left to support the Wei family is jade.

After all, the jade market is too huge. Even if the elders of Pingshang are manipulating and suppressing it, there are not many clues revealed now. Wei Chaotian has not noticed any changes in the jade market. Under his order, the entire Wei family began to increase their investment in jade. The investment and energy of the market are gradually drawn into the invisible vortex.

Wei Chaotian will never know what kind of situation his order will bring the Wei family into.

……

The Wei Family Auction House is the third-ranked auction house in Shanghai. Just like its name, it is an auction house established by the Wei Family. Its main business is the monthly auction of rare metals.

And today, it is Weijia Auction House's monthly auction of rare metals.

Before the auction started, someone stood in front of the door, looking left and right, and whispering to each other. What they were discussing was the rumors in the market, about the Wei family and the Tiantong Mine.

The vast majority of people think that this is definitely a rumor, to remove a mine with a radius of thousands of miles?Even Jinxian, I'm afraid he can't do this kind of thing.

But someone swears: "You don't believe it? Well, you will know the price of this auction later. I bet that the Wei family will increase the price of the ore by ten times this time!"

Everyone said everything, arguing and arguing outside the door, the person in charge of the Wei Family Auction House saw that something was wrong, so he simply opened the auction house in advance and asked them to come in quickly, so as not to quarrel outside the door, which would be even worse .

"This is the Wei Family Auction House, right?" But just now, I drove a large group of people into the auction house, disrupted them and sat them down separately, and there was a boy and a half with two little dolls, a man and a woman. Walking outside the door of the auction house, he asked the guard standing outside the door with his breasts and belly protruding.

"The big characters, can't you see them?" The guard had a particularly bad temper today, and he glared at the half-sized man angrily, and said angrily.

In fact, I don't blame him. All kinds of rumors that are circulating now have completely messed them up.

"What are you doing so fiercely? Let's go in!" The half-grown man glared at him, raised his head and was about to walk in.

The guard grabbed him by the collar and said, "You, you, you can come in as soon as you say, where is your lord?"

"We did it ourselves."

"You guys came by yourself?" The guard frowned, "What about the invitation?"

"It's just a shabby auction house, and you still need an invitation to enter?" The middle-aged man suddenly became unhappy, "You think this is a palace!"

"Boy, are you looking for a beating?" The guard had a bad temper and rolled up his sleeves to beat him.

The other guard had a bit of a conscience, so he quickly grabbed him and said, "Why do you have the same knowledge as a child... Hey, little guy, we must have an invitation card to enter here. You adults."

"Huh!" The half-sized boy turned around angrily, and said, "What kind of broken place, if you don't enter, you can't enter, isn't it just an auction house? If you auction, we will also auction!"

"That's right, these people are bad people!" Two little guys, a man and a woman, chimed in.

Seeing that these two little guys are very cute, the good-natured guard said: "I told you three little guys, don't make trouble here anymore, getting into trouble is troublesome, go home quickly, ah ?”

Who would have thought that the three little guys were really hooked, but they refused to leave. The half-sized boy looked across, took out a brush from nowhere, and wrote five words on the opposite wall: "Stone Auction House".

The clothes this half-sized boy is wearing are very ordinary, not expensive clothes. One of the two little guys is wearing a collar and the other is wearing a red bellyband. , Even if the two guards don't know calligraphy, they immediately know that these people are definitely not ordinary people.

The five characters of "Stone Auction House" are vigorous and powerful, flying like dragons and phoenixes. It can't be seen that this half-child has a lot of skills in calligraphy.

"They're auctioning things, we're also auctioning things!" Who is this half-baby if he isn't a small stone?
The two little guys beside him were Tieba Tongniu. He originally planned to watch the fun and see how embarrassing these people would be. Who would have thought that the door would be closed and he would simply fight against each other.
