The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

“Young Master Fang, you haven’t been to Guangling for very long, so you may not know this Boss Gu. He is one of the wealthiest people in Guangling. This large villa area we just came into is all his real estate.”

Fang Yun nodded and remained silent. Now, he was more eager to see what kind of jade artifacts Gu Liang would bring out for everyone to see.

"Everyone, I've called you all here today for two reasons. First, to show you a new treasure I've acquired, so you can all appreciate it and see if it's genuine. Second, if this treasure is destined for anyone, I'm willing to auction it off on the spot, even if it's painful."

Hearing Gu Liang say this, everyone nodded in agreement.

It's clear that this item is indeed unusual; otherwise, it would have been auctioned off directly instead of going through all this trouble.

Soon, Gu Liang had his servants bring out a large, antique-looking box, covered with a glass dome and a red cloth.

"Boss Gu, what exactly is this thing? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Seeing Gu Liang's serious attitude, many people became interested and wanted to see what was going on.

Gu Liang ordered someone to lift the red veil, and everyone immediately crowded around to look. Under the glass cover was something that looked like a wooden fish.

It was almost identical to the wooden fish that the monks in the temple had been playing. If one had to point out any distinguishing feature, it would be that the wooden fish was very old and had many cracks.

"Boss Gu, are you kidding us? This is just an ordinary wooden fish. How did it become the 890 treasure you're talking about? Are you just making fun of us?"

As everyone was discussing, Fang Yun's eyes flashed. He could sense a faint fluctuation within the wooden fish, as if it contained a trace of true energy.

An object capable of containing true power is a magical artifact, and such objects can only be unearthed from large tombs.

Thinking about this, Fang Yun suddenly felt that his trip hadn't been in vain, as he had actually come across something good.

"Gentlemen, please be patient and let me finish speaking before we discuss this further."

"When I first got this wooden fish, I didn't notice anything different about it, but later I sensed something unusual."

"What's wrong?" everyone asked curiously.

"I can let everyone experience it for themselves."

Boss Gu gave a signal, and two people carried away the thick glass on top.

Before anyone could understand what was happening, their expressions suddenly changed.

Chapter 600 Mysterious Box

As soon as the wooden fish saw someone looking over, it seemed to come alive, vibrating up and down, and the wooden pestle placed to the side naturally began to strike the wooden fish.

The crowd found it somewhat interesting, but it wasn't like they hadn't seen some unusual things before. This only caught their eye; it wasn't enough to make them open their wallets.

A man named Tian Yu walked over and jokingly asked Yang Ke, "Boss Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Ke knew he was deliberately picking a fight, so he snorted and didn't reply. Tian Yu, however, looked at Fang Yun.

"Young Master Fang, since you were invited by Boss Yang to take an opinion, what are your thoughts?"

Although Tian Yu was polite in his words, he couldn't help but smile in his eyes. Compared to the experts and craftsmen who had just been invited, Tian Yu couldn't see anything special about Fang Yun except that he was a bit younger.

Therefore, Tian Yu's words were three parts joking and three parts contempt. He had a grudge against Yang Ke, so it was good to take this opportunity to annoy him.

At this moment, Zhu Li couldn't help but come over and say a few sarcastic remarks.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I've noticed that your business doesn't seem to be doing very well lately. I was going to ask you about it, but now I know the answer."

"You would ask such a greenhorn about something like this? I can't think of any other reason besides that he's blind." Zhu Li's words immediately made the people nearby burst into laughter.

Tian Yu wasn't angry at all; instead, she clasped her hands and asked Zhu Li for guidance.

Seeing their attitude, Fang Yun was too lazy to speak. They were just a bunch of ants. If he didn't want to get some information from them, why would he waste his time here with them?

At that moment, he also noticed something amiss with the wooden fish, but he was too lazy to tell them.

Sitting in the main seat, Gu Liang never placed his hopes on a master brought by someone else; in crucial moments, he still trusted his own judgment.

At this moment, he turned to the man who had been resting to the side and said, "Master Yang, don't you think it's time to make a move?"

When Master Yang heard someone call him, he stretched and came up from his lying position. Then, he walked up to the wooden fish and began to chant some incantations.

At that moment, he seemed like a monk, reciting those scriptures.

Everyone was stunned, wondering if Gu Liang had gone senile and invited a monk to chant sutras, but the wooden fish was clearly not for monks to use for chanting sutras.

Just as everyone was wondering, this person shouted, "Alright!"

Suddenly, the wooden fish in the glass case stopped trembling, and as if it understood the person's words, it stayed in place and looked at the person like a kitten.

Seeing this, Gu Liang introduced to everyone, "Everyone, this Master Yang is someone I specially invited from the mountain. He was the one who assessed the feng shui of the land belonging to the Li family back then."

Everyone was shocked to hear this. They were very familiar with the feng shui of the Li family. Legend has it that after the family moved their house to a different location, their luck with the lottery skyrocketed, and they won several big prizes in a row, becoming wealthy in the area.

So when the Li family's land was mentioned, everyone understood and looked at Master Yang with respect.

"Everyone, isn't it a bit too early to draw conclusions? This Master Yang is famous, but who knows if his feng shui arrangement back then just happened to be lucky? After all, there's no concrete evidence for this kind of thing."

Upon hearing Zhu Li's words, Gu Liang, who was in the main seat, and many others looked over, their expressions changing slightly.

After all, this was someone invited by the host, Gu Liang, so such a evaluation is probably not very good.

Master Yang, who had been in a relaxed state, stood up immediately upon hearing this and made a gesture as if to wave his whisk.

"Since Boss Zhu says my strength is average, why don't you call the people you invited over to take a look too!"

Everyone suddenly realized that Zhu Li was acting strangely. Originally, this whole thing was arranged by Gu Liang, so why did he have to make such a fuss? He could have just made sure everyone had a good time, but instead, he insisted on escalating the conflict.

"Does Zhu Li have some ulterior motive?" (Qian Nuo's question)

Fang Yun had always sensed that something was off about Zhu Li, but he couldn't figure out what it was; he was just relying on intuition.

However, based on this intuition, he felt that Zhu Li was likely plotting a huge conspiracy. In any case, he had to handle this matter properly to avoid more serious consequences.

However, Fang Yun didn't have any evidence at the moment, so he planned to go to other places to see if there was anything to report.

He first looked through all the rooms in the space but found nothing suspicious. Then, Fang Yun went out from the back and walked into the backyard.

Chapter 601 Begins the Appreciation

Upon entering the backyard, Fang Yun felt a sense of openness and wonder; the distant mountain villa and towering trees looked magnificent.

"It seems that Gu Liang is a person with a taste for life, otherwise, how could he have created such a feng shui treasure land?"

Fang Yun gently shook his head. Although he envied these things, Fang Yun was better at turning grief into motivation. Although several people had been lost when he left, Fang Yun always remembered what he should do.

After carrying his things out of the hall and out of the small garden, Fang Yun was about to take in the scenery when he suddenly stopped, a look of hesitation flashing in his eyes. He had just been admiring the beautiful mountains and clear waters, but suddenly the area was shrouded in mist, a change that Fang Yun couldn't help but notice.

"Looks like someone has their eye on this thing of mine." Fang Yun sneered inwardly, knowing that someone had secretly set up an illusion.

If Fang Yun hadn't been alert, he really wouldn't have noticed it so quickly.

"Young Master Fang, you've had such a great haul today, why don't you share it with me?"

A laugh came from within the mist, followed by a man who appeared to be in his thirties and was thin.

The young man had a high-bridged nose and sharp, sword-like eyebrows. As he approached from afar, he resembled a piercing sword, exuding a fierce aura. Behind him, amidst the mist, followed many guards dressed in identical uniforms and wielding long swords.

"You've got your eye on what I have?" Fang Yun said calmly.

“Young Master Fang is indeed clever. Since you are a clever person, I, Han, will not beat around the bush. Our Han family has known about this appraisal event for a long time, but we did not participate. I heard from an insider that Young Master Fang obtained an extraordinary treasure there. I would like to borrow it to take a look. Is that possible?”

Han Tianyang spoke politely, and his face was full of smiles (bjbd), as if he really just wanted to borrow it for a look.

Fang Yun shook his head and said sarcastically, "If I were you, I would just take action directly. Why waste so much time talking?"

“Young Master Fang, it seems you understand the strength of my Han family. Since I dared to set up this illusion array here, I can guarantee that no one will discover it. If I were to actually make a move, Young Master Fang would probably already be dead.”

"So, if Young Master Fang is a smart man, I believe you should know what to do. I am not a bloodthirsty person either." As he finished speaking, Han Tianyang's face turned cold, as if he had already given his utmost patience.

Behind Han Tianyang, the guards also looked on menacingly, as if they would attack immediately if Fang Yun refused. Of course, their eyes also held a great deal of greed.

There aren't many things in this courtyard that can be called treasures, and each one is worth at least 50 million. For a family like theirs, whose industries aren't particularly prominent, taking just one of these items could greatly improve their lives.

That's 50 million yuan! If we can take it, at least we can all change our outfits.

Fang Yun is now like a mobile bank in their eyes. Moreover, it doesn't take much effort to acquire him and doesn't attract attention. They would feel guilty if they didn't do such a business.

Seeing that Fang Yun remained silent, the people exchanged glances, and then one by one, powerful auras erupted from their armor, instantly sealing Fang Yun inside.

From this perspective, Fang Yun is like a lone boat adrift in the raging sea, with no chance of fighting back whatsoever.

"Young Master Fang, have you thought it through? I've already given you the utmost patience." Han Tianyang emphasized.

"Didn't your informant make things clear to you? I suggest you remove him, otherwise he will keep bringing you deadly trouble."

"What deadly danger?" Han Tianyang was taken aback, not understanding what Fang Yun was talking about. (It feels like the protagonist's "momentum" is rising here.)

"I didn't buy this... they begged and cried for me to accept it." Fang Yun said this with a smile, but it immediately made Han Tianyang suspicious.

Before Han Tianyang could even process Fang Yun's words, the guards behind him burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs and unable to even hold their swords steady.

"This kid is a master of comedy. Sigh, the biggest regret of my life is that I never had the chance to be a playboy, so I didn't even have to use my brain."

Amidst the laughter, Han Tianyang suddenly realized something, his expression changed drastically, and he wanted to have someone contact the informant again, but it was already too late, as Fang Yun had already raised his right hand.

A terrifying wave slowly condensed from Fang Yun's fingertips.

"No, retreat!"

Although Han Tianyang's voice was loud, it was directly drowned out by a deafening roar.

"break!"

Fang Yun shouted, and the once-vast fog suddenly trembled. Many fog particles peeled off like snowflakes, revealing their original colors, as if life was withering away.
