Chapter 1422: Invaluable

Jiang Hao has already found out that although the Hu family has a house in Lanxi City, the main house is not in the city, but in Hexian Town, Bali east of Lanxi County. The Hu family's mansion is built in the mountains outside the town and covers a very large area.

Several surrounding mountains are the private property of the Hu family. The Hu family has regulations that no one is allowed to enter the mountains without permission to cut down trees. Therefore, when Jiang Hao was walking on the stone road leading to the Hu family, the trees on both sides were very lush.

As Jiang Hao approached the mansion, he could already smell a strong smell of monsters. Now he was sure that there must be monsters in the Hu family, and there was probably more than one.

"Bah bang bang!"

He raised his hand and patted the door knocker. Not long after, an old man in his fifties or sixties opened the door. He was surprised to see Jiang Hao, "Scholar, what can I do for you?"

Jiang Hao looked at the old man and saw that he was a human being. He cupped his hands and said, "My name is Jiang Hao. I'm here to visit Mr. Hu."

"Visiting my master, is it an old friend coming to visit, or is there an invitation from my master?" the old man asked.

Jiang Hao shook his head, "No, I'm here to pay off the debt."

The old man's face darkened when he heard this, "You, a scholar, are neither an old friend nor a guest, yet you came here so rashly to see my master. How can it be that my master is so easy to meet?"

"You owe money to pay off the debt. How can the big boss care about those small things? If you have anything to do, go to the bank to deal with it. Why did you find the Hu family mansion? Hurry up and leave." The old man said and was about to close the door.

Jiang Hao pushed the door open, still with a smile on his face, "Old man, I brought a treasure from home to show to Mr. Hu. I can guarantee that he will definitely like it after seeing my treasure. In this way, you can take the treasure Show it to Mr. Hu, I’ll wait for him here.”

He said and handed over the wooden box.

The old concierge hesitated for a while, then took the box after thinking about it, "That's fine, I'll go show it to the master, and you can just wait outside the door."

Bang!

The door is closed again.

Jiang Hao was not angry. He walked to a tree outside the courtyard gate and stood quietly with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance. He was thinking about how to deal with the meeting.

I don’t know how many goblins there are here, what their magic power is, and whether I can deal with them with my own methods. I silently take inventory in my mind, including talismans, sword skills, light skills, palm thunder, thunder control skills, super recovery ability, violent rage, and elimination skills.

Jiang Hao was still confident about protecting himself and escaping.

For the rest, just improvise.

The old porter came to the inner hall with the miscellaneous wooden box and went to the inner hall steward to report, "Housekeeper, a scholar came outside the door and said that he had a treasure to sell to the master. He also said that the master would be tempted after seeing it."

After saying that, he held up the box.

The housekeeper looked at the dirty and broken wooden box in front of him in surprise. He didn't want to pick it up at all. He said angrily: "Anyone who bought something from a pile of dirt would dare to call it a treasure. I really think that my Hu family is stupid and has too much money." Well, throw it out and tell that scholar to get lost."

Upon hearing this, the concierge turned and left. Before his legs could cross the threshold, he was stopped by the butler, "Stop, wait."

The head butler suddenly remembered what his master had taught him. Don't just look at the surface of everything. Whatever you do, you must investigate it thoroughly before drawing a conclusion. There will always be nothing wrong.

The old concierge came back quickly, but the butler refused to take the box and pointed at it: "Open it and let me see what it is."

The old man at the concierge opened the box and saw two pieces of yellow paper lying at the bottom of the box, with cinnabar symbols on them. He said in surprise: "These seem to be Taoist symbols."

Naturally, the chief steward also saw it. After seeing these two talismans, his brows jumped suddenly because he clearly felt the spiritual power on these two talismans.

It is absolutely true, these are powerful Taoist talismans, and the power is not low. The big housekeeper rolled his eyes. Judging from the spiritual power contained in these two Taoist talismans, it is not wrong to say that they are treasures.

"Can you tell me in detail about the scholar?" the chief steward asked.

The concierge thought for a while and described: "The scholar calls himself Jiang Hao. He is quite tall, well-proportioned, and quite handsome. Although he only wears a coarse blue robe, he looks very dignified."

The head butler looked a little impatient, "Who asked you if he is good-looking or not? Tell me other things."

"Oh~ Okay, he has paid back the money he owes to our bank, so he came to sell his treasure. Our master will definitely like it after seeing it."

"Where are they now?" the chief steward asked.

"I locked you out of the door," the concierge said.

The butler thought for a moment, ignored the dust on the box, closed the lid and held it in his arms. He told the concierge to wait here, and quickly walked out of the inner hall to the courtyard. He looked around and saw no one there. The housekeeper lightly jumped to the wall and looked outside the courtyard.

The light movements were incompatible with his fat body.

A few dozen meters away, Jiang Hao stood under a tree, looking leisurely at the distant mountains and forests with his hands behind his back. The Hu family's mansion was built halfway up the mountain, and the scenery was still very good.

Suddenly,

He felt like he was being watched, and his heart moved. It was probably the Hu family members who were observing him. He did not turn around and remained standing still.

The chief steward looked at Jiang Hao carefully and found no aura in the scholar. He was just a mortal. Most of the worries in his heart were gone, but he didn't know that Jiang Hao had already used the invisible breath technique to hide his cultivation.

Let alone him, even if a god came over, he might not be able to see through Jiang Hao's cultivation.

The butler jumped down lightly and walked quickly to the backyard, passing through the rockery and waterside pavilion, and passing by a large lotus garden. He came to a large independent room and knocked on the door three times.

Not long after, a voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"It's me, sir." The butler responded quickly.

"What's the matter? Why are you disturbing my practice?" The master inside said with some displeasure.

"Hu Quan knows his mistake, but there is an urgent matter that must be reported to the master." The butler said.

"Come in."

Hu Quan pushed open the door and immediately smelled a faint sandalwood scent. In the middle of the hall, there was a statue of Nuwa, and below it was a cushion. Sitting cross-legged on the cushion was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with three beautiful beards, quite elegant.

Hu Quan walked up to the futon, knelt down respectfully, presented the wooden box with both hands, and said, "Master, there is a poor scholar outside the door. I just went to see him. He is an ordinary person. He owed money to our bank before. He came to sell the heirloom. It is in this wooden box. I took a look and found two talismans with strong spiritual power."

Master Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes became narrower and longer. "Selling talismans? Open it and let me see."

Hu Quan opened the box, revealing two talismans at the bottom of the box. When Master Hu saw the two talismans, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. In his eyes, the two yellow paper talismans turned into two groups of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was rich and wrapped in runes and could not be seen. I believe that as long as this talisman is used, its power will be considerable.

This ability to see talismans is a natural supernatural power that Master Hu obtained after his successful cultivation, the "Fox Fairy Eye". It can see through spiritual power and observe people's luck, just like the Taoist Heavenly Eye and the Buddhist Dharma Eye, but the level is much lower.

"Good talisman!"

Master Hu couldn't help but shout.

"Although I don't know what these two talismans do, the spiritual power contained in them is comparable to a magic weapon. They should be drawn by a master who has achieved success in cultivation." Mr. Hu said happily.

"You said a scholar wants to sell talismans?" Mr. Hu looked at the butler Hu Quan.

"It's a scholar, and he's outside the door now."

Mr. Hu is a meticulous person. Such talismans appear in the hands of a mortal scholar. He must ask clearly and find out the details of where they came from before he can take them. If he accidentally offends someone he can't offend, it will be more trouble than gain.

"Hu Quan, call the scholar to the main hall. I want to see him." Mr. Hu ordered.

"Master, you don't have to meet such a mortal in person. Why don't I ask him how much he wants to sell it for and give him some money to send him away." Hu Quan said.

"These two talismans are quite extraordinary. I want to ask how to use them and find out the details of where they came from. Okay, go call him." Mr. Hu said.

Hu Quan got up quickly and went out to call for help.

Mr. Hu took another look at the two talismans and the box containing the talisman paper. It looked like pearls in a basket, which was not a good match. He found a sandalwood box next to him and put the two talismans in it.

"Well, that's much better." Mr. Hu nodded with satisfaction.

Creak~!

The small side door of the Hu family opened, and the butler and the doorman came out. The butler stood on the steps, and the doorman shouted to Jiang Hao, "Come here, scholar, our butler has something to say to you."

Jiang Hao turned around and saw the fat middle-aged man standing on the steps. He thought this was the butler. Jiang Hao had opened his eyes at this moment. Under his eyes, he saw the demonic aura floating above the butler's head.

When he got closer, Jiang Hao sniffed and smelled a foxy smell. It seemed that his guess was correct. This Hu family should be the Fox Family.

The butler raised his chin slightly and said to Jiang Hao: "You are the scholar who sells talismans. My master wants to see you in the hall. Come with me."

Walking into the courtyard from the small door, Jiang Hao found that the decoration here was very gorgeous. There were all kinds of ancient pines and cypresses, pavilions and terraces in the courtyard. He walked through the long stone slab road to the main hall. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw an old handsome man sitting in the main hall, and a sandalwood box was placed on the table next to him.

At this moment, the two looked at each other.

Under the eyes of heaven, nothing can escape. On the old man, Jiang Hao saw the demonic aura above his head again, and it was much stronger than that of the butler.

However, Jiang Hao found that this old fox did not have the smell of fox, but a faint sandalwood scent. He wondered in his heart, could it be that he had practiced for a long time and cultivated away all the body odor?

It is not impossible.

Jiang Hao read a lot of books. Some classics recorded that after the real big demon has successfully practiced, it will gradually get rid of the impurities of the body, such as body odor. Not only will it not smell bad, but it will become a charming body fragrance.

Well, his little vixen wife Helen smells good.

Ahem,

I'm thinking too far ahead.

Jiang Hao now understands a little bit. The debt collector he met a few days ago was probably in contact with the butler, not the old man Hu in front of him, because the old man Hu has basically gotten rid of the smell of fox, but the butler smells quite strong. It seems that guy is not good enough in cultivation.

Jiang Hao is looking at the old fox, and the old fox is also looking at Jiang Hao, and even uses his own innate magical power, the fox fairy pupil. He is afraid that the scholar in front of him will hide his breath and deceive Hu Quan.

And after seeing this, the old fox was shocked.

He stood up from his seat.

It's not because he saw through the spiritual power hidden in Jiang Hao. If the system doesn't let him see it, he will definitely not see it, but he saw something else in Jiang Hao,

Luck!

The reason why the old fox was so surprised was that he saw that the luck of the scholar in front of him was purple and gold.

How could he not be shocked.

What do purple and gold represent? They are the colors of the emperor, which are invaluable.

Except for the emperor or the prince, no one else could possibly have this kind of luck color.

The old fox could no longer sit still, and his butt was like a thorn, and it bounced up with a rub.

But after thinking about it, the old fox felt something was wrong. The current emperor has been in office for twelve years. He is thirty-three years old this year. He has only one prince, who has been appointed as the crown prince and is only eight years old. After thinking about it, the man in front of him could not be the emperor or the crown prince.

Could it be that he saw it wrong?

At this moment, the old fox began to doubt himself.

No, he did not see it wrong. The "Fairy Fox Eyes" is his innate magical power and has never made a mistake. He carefully observed Jiang Hao's luck again and again, and it was definitely purple and gold.

But,

But it's not right.

The old fox was confused by the scholar in front of him.

He didn't know that Jiang Hao's purple and gold imperial color was cultivated in other worlds and had nothing to do with this world.
