Guqi scroll!
The first thing that came to my mind was the word "contract" which had been lingering in my mind since last night.
When Sun Tian heard this, his heart beat violently twice, and even the hand holding the phone unconsciously exerted strength.
I forced myself to breathe steadily, but the voice on the phone couldn't help but become much heavier.
"Dad! What is that Guqi revolving wheel? Have you seen it?"
The old man on the beach thought his son was a bit sentimental today, but since there was no personal safety issue, it was okay to just reminisce.
"Your old man has been strong-willed all his life, and your great-grandmother has been with him for decades, so she has acquired a bad temper. They always like to collect antiques and rare treasures."
"Dad, don't say that. I just want to know if you have taken a close look at the scroll!"
Sun Tian became anxious when he heard his father rambling on about the past on the phone.
"Speak nicely, I am just about to tell you! You, kid, have the same temper as your grandfather, and you don't know how your mother and I educate you..."
"Okay, okay, Dad, I was wrong, okay? Please continue, please continue..."
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door outside, tapped his watch and pointed to the conference room, indicating that Sun Tian was about to start a meeting.
Sun Tian had no choice but to let his father speak slowly, and then he held the phone with his hand towards the door.
"Xiao Li, tell them I have something to do. Let the marketing department hold today's meeting. Give me the minutes after the meeting."
"Okay, Mr. Sun."
The boss has spoken, so what else can we do? But this will make the people in the marketing department happy.
After the secretary went out, Sun Tian hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign at the door of his office and answered the phone again.
"Dad, are you still listening? Go on, go on. What does the scroll look like?"
This time, Mr. Sun did not keep the secret and slowly told some things from his memory.
It also allowed Sun Tian to get to know another old grandfather and great-grandmother in different memories.
The Sun family started doing business in the early years and have survived internal and external wars. The old man was a man of both firmness and flexibility. He was lenient to others but not without tactics, and strict to his family but not lacking in education.
Therefore, he accumulated a lot of wealth and collected a lot of antiques at home, some of which were inherited from ancestors and some were purchased.
His interest in the silver-inlaid scroll also stemmed from the time when his beloved son was beaten, when he had carefully read the scroll.
This is what Sun's father described on the phone.
"The scroll is about two palms wide from top to bottom. The silver outer sheath is engraved with patterns. I can't understand it, but it's quite complicated. When you open the scroll, you can see a foot long text. It must be written on animal fur, which is very tough."
Hearing this, Sun Tian asked anxiously.
"What's written on it?"
"I'm not sure. I don't know if your grandfather and his family didn't preserve it well or if I'm old and my memory is bad. Anyway, I remember that it should be a blurry piece on it. As for the pattern you mentioned, it is indeed there, in the upper left corner. Only the pattern and the first few words are clear."
At this time, Sun Tian's mind was full of imagination about what the scroll looked like, and suddenly he realized a problem.
My great-grandfather died early, and the antiques were later kept by my great-grandmother. But when my great-grandmother passed away, my parents and I were abroad, and I hadn't heard about the antiques after my grandparents had a car accident.
"Dad, where are those antiques from my great-grandmother now? Are they with you?"
The old man took a sip of his ice-cold cocktail there.
"I have the rest of it."
Sun Tian felt an inexplicable tightness in his heart.
"What do you mean by the remaining part?"
“It means I sold a part of it.”
“What~~~!?”
Sun Tian suddenly raised the volume and scared his father.
"How could you...how could you sell it!!"
"What a joke! You thought that when you encountered difficulties in your business all those years ago, how could I, your father, help you save the market?"
Sun Tian was speechless.
"I see you're so nervous about that scroll, right? Don't worry, it was so messed up at the time, and it's not something of great value, so it's worth nothing, so just keep it at home."
Sun Tian's heart fell back into his stomach.
"Dad, you haven't changed the lock of your villa, right?"
"You little brat, why are you so eager to expose your father's past? If you want to play with antiques, go to the storage room and get them yourself."
Sun Tian had a smiling expression on his face and was relaxed.
"Okay dad, you and mom have fun!"
"You don't want to talk to your mother?"
Before Sun Tian could say anything, his mother's voice came from the other end.
"Well, you and your son are both impatient, so you don't need to talk to me anymore. Your dad was on speakerphone the whole time!"
'I wonder why it's so noisy!'
Sun Tian complained in his heart, then said hello to his parents again and hung up the phone.
"Dad, that scroll might not be something without a history!"
From what my father just said, I got to know my great-grandfather and great-grandmother again, and found that although they were strict, they were always principled.
Did my great-grandmother really beat me so hard because I broke the family rules?
I’m afraid not!
What if I only stole jewelry or other antiques?
Damn, my whole body feels like it has been sprayed with itching powder, I can’t sit down at all!
Sun Tian greeted his secretary directly, left the company, took the elevator and went straight to the parking lot.
…
Although spying on others is generally considered unethical, many things have two sides.
Qin Xiaoxia had to admit that the twin brothers did a great job.
In addition to the text content provided by Qin Xiaoxia, the advertising page design of XXX Refreshing Pills also has the charm of our Chinese small advertisements.
Presumably, the mission-driven task of helping the association find its “former partners” has given them great motivation.
Of course, Mr. Sun’s brilliant assist was an unexpected surprise.
This saves Qin Xiaoxia a lot of effort.
Sun's father's house was not in Shencheng but in Sucheng, so Sun Tian drove there directly.
It was noon when he arrived. As he had something on his mind, he did not go to any restaurant for dinner. Instead, he bought some bread and drinks at a store on the way and then hurried off to look for treasure.
The two old people have not been at home for a long time, but the inside of the villa is cleaned regularly, so there is not much dust. However, the security door of the storage room cannot be opened by the cleaning staff.
So when you walk into the storage room, you can see fine dust all over the floor.
He ignored the ceramics and jade items on the shelves on both sides. Sun Tian chewed a piece of bread and used both hands to open two large safes.
I got the password from my father on the way.
The answer was about to be revealed. Sun Tian felt that his energy-cultivating skills were not enough, and his heartbeat began to accelerate involuntarily.
The first one he opened contained mostly jewelry, some gold bars and cash. Sun Tian looked up and down and closed it.
The second one he opened revealed some rolled-up paintings, and he anxiously reached out and moved them around.
Then it suddenly stopped after a few seconds.
My heart rate soared in vain.
The silver shell and simple shape made the blurry picture in my memory suddenly become clear.
"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. At such a young age, you have no ambition, are playful, and steal things! If you don't punish him severely, how can you bear the burden of the Sun family in the future!"
Those few words spoken by my great-grandmother seemed to echo in my ears again.
"The Sun family's burden..."
Sun Tian muttered, carefully taking the scroll out of the safe.
The scroll, like other calligraphy and paintings, is placed in a transparent bag.
Pull the bag open and take it out gently.
wrong!
What? It's warm!
The scroll in my hand was still cold when it was in the transparent bag, but when it was in my hand, I suddenly felt it was hot, but it did not hurt my hands.
It's as if this feeling comes only from the spiritual level.
This is so abnormal, so abnormal!
Sun Tian took deep breaths and slowly opened the scroll, fearing that it would be torn if he used too much force.
"Is this where the temperature comes from?!"
In the upper left corner of the scroll screen, a pattern that looks like the scorching sun or a hot fireball is emitting a faint flame.
In the blink of an eye, the flames disappeared and the scene returned to normal.
Is it an illusion?
The warmth in Sun Tian’s hands was still there, but his heart was in turmoil!
…
Although due to Sun Tian's vigilance and precautions, Qin Xiaoxia was unable to inject magic power into his body without being noticed, but a little bit of magic power briefly attached to his body surface could still last for a while without dissipating.
At this time, Qin Xiaoxia and Su Su were sitting in a restaurant in Shencheng preparing to have lunch.
Su Su was very depressed that she and her mentor failed to successfully help Sun Tian embrace the "dawn". Although the mentor said that everyone has their own choices, since the Sun family made a vow hundreds of years ago and kept the scroll, they should take responsibility even if they have forgotten. Otherwise, can they just say "I don't know" about anything and any mistakes?
She was still a little angry. After all, it was quite incredible that she could forget such an important thing. It was an opportunity that many people would never encounter in their lifetime. It was your loss if you forgot it. You deserved it!
'Alas, the teacher is too lenient!'
Looking at Qin Xiaoxia who was resting with his eyes closed while waiting for the food, Su Su couldn't help but secretly take out his mobile phone to take a picture.
Qin Xiaoxia, who was closing his eyes to use up the last bit of magic power that was emanating from Sun Tian, suddenly opened his eyes.
Su Su, who was still adjusting the flash light, was so frightened that she almost threw her phone away in panic.
"What are you doing?"
"No, it's okay. By the way, teacher, the dishes here are really slow to be served!"
Qin Xiaoxia looked at the crowded restaurant.
"After all, there are many people here, but I seemed to feel that the Book of Oath was activated just now."
"Ah? What kind of oath is that? Could it be from the Sun family?"
Su Su currently only knows about the oath scrolls of two associations. One is with some French youths who have returned to the light of day, and the other is with the Sun family.
"I don't know. Even as the wielder of the scepter, I can't be sure of which place it is. And it's even more unknown how many scrolls are left that have survived to this day. Maybe I need you to do some divination."
"However, judging from the distance, it should not be in Shencheng, so perhaps it is not the Sun family."
“I see…”
Su Su was still a little lost.
