Chapter 178 Mountain Ointment
"presumptuous!"
Huo Qinghuang's eyes narrowed, and with a clear shout, the aura around her surged, blocking all the resentful and evil aura.
"Boom! Boom!"
Ajie's drum vibrated unwillingly, but was always suppressed by Huo Qinghuang. Finally, she had to stop and calm down.
Looking at Ajie's drum again, I saw that this time even the red light floating on the drum surface had disappeared, and the resentful and evil aura had also disappeared without a trace. It was as quiet as an ordinary small drum.
But Huo Qinghuang knew that this was just its appearance and it might erupt at any time.
"You are quite sensible. I feel sorry for you, so I will forgive you this time. If you do it again, I will make sure that your body and soul are completely destroyed and you disappear completely."
She snorted, grabbed the drum and stuffed it into her backpack.
Of course, this was just to fool Long Weihua. The Ajie drum had already been taken into the cave by her.
In her Shenhuang Cave Heaven, even a dragon has to lie prone. A mere sister's drum cannot make any waves.
The original plan was to give the Sister Drum to Huo Baoer as a toy, but Huo Baoer had only practiced it for a few days and couldn't control it at all.
It seems that we need to add another layer of restriction to this sister drum.
Huo Qinghuang muttered to herself.
At this moment, Long Weihua was shocked and stared at Huo Qinghuang in a daze, unable to react for a while.
Just now, he felt an extremely terrifying aura from Huo Qinghuang, as if he would be in dire straits if he dared to move. This made him tremble with fear and he had no time to stop the other party.
By the time he came to his senses, the Sister Drum had already been taken by Huo Qinghuang.
Long Weihua moved his lips, wanting to say something, but when he met Huo Qinghuang's indifferent gaze, he swallowed his words back.
He stood aside silently, secretly rejoicing in his heart.
Although we don't know the true strength of this kind of existence, this aura alone is enough to shock countless people.
Fortunately, he acted quickly and recruited Huo Yuheng into the 749th Bureau in advance. Now that the two sides are friends rather than enemies, there is no need to worry.
Well, the position of Minister of Logistics has become vacant, and it’s time to move Deputy Minister Huo’s position.
Long Weihua was calculating very quickly, and when he saw Huo Qinghuang selecting treasures, he was not so nervous anymore.
According to his thinking, tying up Huo Yuheng is equivalent to tying up Huo Qinghuang. This is called keeping the wealth within the family. They are all family members, so it doesn't matter who they give it to.
Huo Qinghuang was still picking things out and had no idea what Long Weihua was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely sneer at him.
She is the empress, high and mighty, free and unrestrained. How can she be restrained by a mere mortal?
There were very few truly valuable things in the treasury. Huo Qinghuang paced between the rows of shelves, feeling somewhat disappointed.
But now that we are here, and this is the reward promised by Long Weihua, we have to pick out two decent treasures.
She continued to search the treasure house and her eyes fell on a palm-sized stone carving.
This stone carving is shaped like a pig, and its entire body is as red as fire. There is not a single fluctuation of energy, and it seems to be just an ordinary ornament.
She reached out, took the stone carving, and examined it carefully in her hand.
"Miss Huo, do you like this? To be honest, this is just an ordinary stone carving. It's just made of special materials. It can't be crushed or smashed. It's useless."
Long Weihua followed behind and explained.
No one knew where this stone carving came from. At first they thought it was some kind of treasure, but after various experiments they found that it was just an ordinary handle. They just didn't know what material it was made of. It was not any kind of mineral they had ever seen.
"Then do you know what kind of stone carving this is?"
Huo Qinghuang asked calmly without even turning her head.
"It's mountain paste. It's in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Maybe someone carved it casually. It's nothing special."
Long Weihua shook his head.
"Yeah?"
Huo Qinghuang took the stone carving in his hands and turned it around, flipping it up and down, with a faint smile on his face.
She turned her head and looked at Long Weihua, and said casually: "Since you don't want it, I'll take it back and use it as a paperweight. When I draw talismans, maybe the success rate will be higher."
“…”
Long Weihua's mouth twitched slightly, and he really wanted to ask, isn't that just a ghost drawing?
The success rate is even higher, and it sounds like the truth.
He had been practicing for so many years, but he had never seen anyone draw talismans like Huo Qinghuang did. Even a ghost could not recognize them.
However, Huo Qinghuang did not choose the treasures he thought were valuable, which made him feel relieved.
"Okay, since Miss Huo likes it, take it."
Long Weihua said very generously.
Huo Qinghuang said no more, put the gypsum stone carving into the cave, and continued to choose the last item.
After searching for a while, she found a palm-sized stone in a corner.
The surface of the stone is bumpy and gray in color, and it looks inconspicuous at first glance.
But Huo Qinghuang felt a mysterious power fluctuation faintly within the stone.
She picked up the stone, used her spiritual sense to investigate, and discovered that there seemed to be some special energy sealed inside the stone.
"Director Long, what is this stone?"
Huo Qinghuang asked.
Long Weihua took a look, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "This stone was found in a ruin many years ago. The experts in the bureau studied it for a long time, but they couldn't figure out its origin and purpose. Finally, they concluded that it was just an ordinary stone. Could it be that Miss Huo took a fancy to it?"
"It looks pretty solid. It should be easy to use as a hidden weapon."
Huo Qinghuang said without comment.
This time, Long Weihua really didn't know what to say.
Considering that Miss Huo is very powerful, her vision should not be so bad. She had so many treasures to choose from, but instead chose two useless things.
If this gets out, people will think that the treasure house of Bureau 749 is full of junk.
"Well, Miss Huo, why don't you take a look at something else? This is just an ordinary stone. Even if it can be used as a hidden weapon, it's still a little bit inferior and not worthy of Miss Huo's strength."
Long Weihua advised against his will.
"No, this is it."
Huo Qinghuang shook her head and looked at Long Weihua strangely.
It seems that the other party has not discovered the secret of this stone, which is a bit strange.
Logically speaking, Long Weihua's cultivation is not bad. He is the strongest human being she has ever seen since she came to this world. He has reached the late stage of foundation building and has developed spiritual awareness. How could he not notice the abnormality of this stone?
But the more this is the case, the more it proves that this stone has an extraordinary origin.
Huo Qinghuang put the stone away slowly.
She had a hunch that this stone might play an unexpected role at some point in the future.
After selecting these three items, Huo Qinghuang said to Long Weihua: "Director Long, I have made my choice. Thank you for your generosity."
Long Weihua also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Ms. Huo, you are too polite. This is what you deserve. I hope that Bureau 749 will have the opportunity to cooperate with Miss Huo in the future."
Huo Qinghuang smiled slightly and did not respond.
She has a lot of things to do, so she doesn't have the time to meddle in other people's affairs.
Carrying the three treasures, she quickly left Bureau 749.
Long Weihua looked at her back, and somehow, he felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if something was gradually moving away from him.
