Super Son-In-Law

Chapter 19 Thea's Concern?

Eric raised his eyebrows in surprise, but looked at the ancient book next to him: "the remaining two pieces are worthless. How would you sell this ancient book?"

"One hundred thousand, don't bargain." The goatee touched his beard and said confidently.

Gabrielle looked at Eric suspiciously. She didn't think Eric was stupid and had a lot of money, let alone that he was helping them. Instead, she concluded that Eric must know the origin of the porcelain vase and bought it.

At this time, seeing that he noticed the ancient book again, she finally couldn't help asking, "Sir, do you know the words of the ancient book?"

"A little, this should be a book recording alchemy in ancient times." Eric reached out to pick up the ancient book and pointed to the three strange words on it.

Because Eric knew the goods and was careful, the goatee didn't stop.

"If what I guessed right, this book should come from the western regions." Gabrielle looked at the strange words and suddenly revealed her snow-white neck.

She kindly reminded: "this book is indeed an ancient book, but it is definitely not worth so much money. It should be the book recorded by the ancient western scholars refining the elixir of immortality, and it is not written by celebrities."

She said that and everyone nodded. Everyone knew that in ancient times, the emperors began to seek the art of immortality and went to some Fairy Islands to seek immortality. Later emperors never gave up.

However, the pills refined by these strange scholars not only wouldn't make people live forever, but also were life-threatening things. Many pills contained heavy metals such as lead and mercury, which would kill people. Therefore, even if this book was an ancient book, it was not worth a lot.

"Ten thousand yuan, do you sell it?"

"Ten thousand? That’s too little. I won't sell it." the goatee shook his head.

"Forget it, plus this machete, it's a total of 100000 yuan. If you sell it, I'll take it away." Eric smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the rusty machete.

"100000? Do you think it's junk? It's an antique. Look at the amazing shape!" the man shook his head.

"Amazing? This book was from the western regions, and so is this machete. The ancient western regions are different from the Central Plains. They used machetes, but it's nothing strange. Besides, I tried it just now. Your machete is rusty and can't be pulled out. It's not the weapon used by famous generals in ancient times. Besides, the weapon is stained with blood and the meaning is not clear. I just like to study these things." Eric explained, shook his head and stood up.

Everyone knew that although antiques were good, they must be kept intact if they wanted to be sold at a high price. This machete was rusted like this, and its value was greatly reduced.

Moreover, weapon antiques were rarely collected! After all, they were used to kill. It was said that the weapons that killed many people were contaminated with the souls of the dead. If it was put at home, they may cause bad luck!

And this book had little real value.

"If you want to sell it for 100000, I'll buy them. If you don't, I'll go."

"100000 is too expensive for me. These broken things are not worth money at all." the shopkeepers around shook their heads and left.

"What a fool! "

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, most of the people soon left.

The goat beard man hesitated for a while. Seeing Eric really trying to leave with the porcelain vase in his arms, he was in a hurry.

The people around them all left and said that these two pieces were not worth 100000 at all. Moreover, the remaining two pieces really didn't sell well. It would be good to sell them for money.

Moreover, this machete was really strange and evil.

"All right, I'll sell it to you for 100000. You can take them all." The man waved his hand painfully.

"OK."

"Sir, can you come to my shop for a chat?" Gabrielle couldn't help saying when she saw that Eric had paid and wrapped up the ancient books and machete carefully to go.

Eric looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and smiled: "are you Miss Gabrielle Stone?"

Gabrielle was stunned: "do you know me?"

"I don't know you, but I've heard about you. I heard that you are not only talented, but also beautiful. I am Eric." Eric shook his head and said directly.

Gabrielle smiled and stretched out her hand: "please."

The name of the Stone’s shop was Ancient Rhyme. The one who looked for the shop was a bald man named Peter. Gabrielle soon led Eric into the back hall.

After entering the back hall, Eric just sat down. Gabrielle handed him a glass of water and directly asked the biggest doubt in her heart: "do you know the origin of this porcelain?"

"When do you think this porcelain vase came from?" Eric asked.

"At first glance, the porcelain vase has a grand and thick shape and has the style of the Tang Dynasty, but the colored glaze of the porcelain vase is too gorgeous, and the mouth and bottom of the bottle are not round, but oval, as if they are the style of the western regions..." Gabrielle's voice was full of doubts, and her good-looking eyebrows frowned tightly.

She really couldn't understand it, so she didn't dare to make a conclusion.

"You're right. This is the product of the Tang Dynasty. Like this ancient book and machete, they all came from the western regions."

Gabrielle blinked at Eric.

Eric smiled and didn't show off: "At that time, the western regions were called Tubo. During the Tang Dynasty, the Princess married to Tubo and established diplomatic relations. As far as I know, this is a snow bottle, which has always been loved by the Princess. The craft used also combines the culture of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo and is used in one bottle, implying that the two countries are close to each other. After the Princess married Tubo far away, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been repaired for more than 200 years and has been praised by later generations."

"Princess sent her thoughts to her hometown by looking at the snow bottle. She often embraced the snow bottle and sang the song of her hometown. Therefore, it seemed that the song could be heard from the mouth of the bottle. Therefore, the snow bottle was named."

"The value of this snow bottle is immeasurable. It's a pity that it was broken a bit, but it’s a bargain for 300000."

"This... This is the snow bottle?" Gabrielle's eyes lit up, full of surprise: "can I have a look again?"

Eric smiled: "of course."

"This... Can you put the snow bottle here first?" Gabrielle looked left and right. She seemed to like it very much. Finally, she looked up at Eric with an embarrassed look: "I got some porcelain mending skills."

"Yes, why don't you keep this machete with you first? I think this machete is good. Can you check its origin for me?" Eric said.

The whole body of this machete has been rusted. I can't see anything. Naturally, I can't study it.

"How do you know that we have a magic weapon manual in our family? However, this machete didn't seem to be in the manual." Gabrielle smiled.

Gabrielle knew that Eric's attainments in antiques were very high. At this time, she couldn't help noticing the rusty machete and couldn't help extending her hand curiously.

"Don't touch it!"

"Ah!" Gabrielle didn't notice. She was surprised when she touched the machete. She just felt a chill spread all over her body, and the coldness hurt her bones.

"Are you okay?" Eric grabbed Gabrielle's hand and suddenly felt wrong. He quickly put it down and coughed: "this machete is a little evil. Maybe the stall owner also knew it, so he sold it to me cheaply."

"It's said that weapons have spirit. I've never seen such a strange weapon. Why is it so cold?" Gabrielle frowned, holding her frozen hand.

"I don't know. Just wrap it in cloth when you take it." Eric shook his head. "Also, you must have books on ancient character analysis, right? I want to borrow them."

"Why? You also want to study the elixir of immortality?" Gabrielle looked at the book and smiled.

"I'm just curious. I don't feel that what's recorded in this book is not exactly about the immortality, but I can't recognize many words." Eric said.

"Well, come with me." Gabrielle pursed her lips and moved her steps gently, leading the way first.

…

When Eric returned, it was after seven o'clock in the evening. After dinner, he entered a hotel and soon found the ancient books borrowed from Gabrielle.

Eric could understand up to one third of the characters in it, and the others could only be consulted and translated word by word, which was very troublesome.

However, when he looked up and saw the parsed text, he was even more confused.

He thought he would find clues about machete from this ancient book, but he didn't. Moreover, the alchemy recorded in this book was not the elixir of immortality given to the emperor in ancient times, but the alchemy of various effects!

Tongtian pill: after taking it, combined with a special method, it could open up the meridians of the whole body and feel the aura of heaven and earth.

Eric became more and more confused. He felt that this book was like in a martial arts novel.

For example, Feifeng pill could make people as light as a swallow in a short time; Dali pill could make people more powerful.

And there was also the soul eating pill, people could follow their own orders if they eat it and use special mind control skills.

"No way, isn't that ridiculous?" Eric looked at the explanation of pills and the materials for refining pills. He was completely confused.

Dew moon water... Eat heart poison?

What were these things? Where were these things in the world?

Eric felt headache for a while. Then he looked at other pills and found that the materials needed for these pills were extremely rare. He had not even heard of them. It was estimated that many of them have been extinct in the world.

However, Eric found an exception, which was the Tongtian pill. The materials needed are not difficult to find, but now in the hotel, it was impossible to refine it.

Eric still didn't believe it, but the effect of Tongtian pill was so attractive that he wanted to try it.

Eric didn't know how long he had watched it until his eyes were black. He grabbed his cell phone and looked at it. It was more than 11 o'clock.

Moreover, he also got two text messages, both from his wife Thea tonight.

He didn't hear it because he was too focused on looking up the information.

At 8:50: "I had a quarrel with my mother tonight. I helped you collect all your things at home."

At 9:50, "what are you doing? Where are you sleeping tonight? Have you had dinner?"

Eric's eyes suddenly widened, suddenly turned over and sat up. He couldn't help rubbing his eyes. Was this from Thea?

She... was she caring about him?
