"That's a must. If there isn't a treasure in my Nanyan Baozhai that catches your eye today, I will simply open it in the morning and close it in the afternoon. From now on, this store will never open again." Du Tankang responded, patting his chest.
Du Beilun knew that the two were just joking. They had been friends for many years and had been playing together since they were young. Although they seemed to be just bad friends in the eyes of others, they were actually very close.
Qin Yuesheng looked around slightly and asked: "What do you say next? Do you want me to wander around or find someone to take me to see the treasures you have prepared?"
"Of course, considering your status as Yuesheng, is it appropriate for me to let you wander around on your own? Come on, I'll take you to see my treasure."
Du Tankang took the lead, followed by Qin Yuesheng and Du Beilun.
As for the four guards, Qin Yuesheng told them to guard the door of Nanyan Baozhai and not to follow him closely.
The opening of Nanyan Baozhai this time was very secretive. Even his younger brother Du Beilun himself didn't know what treasures would be sold today. It was simply because Du Tankang did a too good job of keeping it secret.
"Nanyan Treasure House is divided into three floors: the first floor for humans, the second floor for the earth, and the third floor for the sky. Although the ornaments on one floor are considered good things, there is no chance that you, Yuesheng, will be interested in them. Let's start from the second floor to save time."
Qin Yuesheng followed Du Tankang to the second floor. Compared with the first floor, there were obviously fewer containers and shelves on this floor.
"Du Tankang, where did you go to purchase goods this time?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Bashu, the frontier, the Western Regions, Roland has them all."
"So far." Qin Yuesheng was secretly surprised. Qingyang City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and Bashu is at the westernmost part of the Tang Dynasty's territory. Add to that the northern areas such as the Western Regions and Roland, and it seems that Du Tankang has traveled a lot in the past few months.
In addition, he might encounter various difficulties and obstacles such as bandits and robbers along the way, which might even threaten his life. This shows how much Du Tankang cares about the Nanyan Baozhai he is going to open.
As a child of an aristocratic family, there is no other reason to explain why he can take the initiative to do this except that he truly loves it.
"Look at this first. This is a treasure I bought from a Tang Sect disciple in Bashu." Du Tankang walked to a mahogany wardrobe and reached out to open the door.
Qin Yuesheng and Du Beilun immediately stuck their heads out to look inside. When they saw what was inside the closet, they were frightened and their hearts skipped a beat. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end and a chill on their backs.
In the wardrobe, there was a woman dressed in a phoenix crown and a red robe. She had a small face, a delicate nose and a cherry mouth. Her face was covered with a thick layer of white powder, and her lips were painted so bright red with rouge that it seemed as if blood would drip out if pinched.
At this time, the woman closed her eyes tightly, crossed her hands on her lower abdomen, and held a red headscarf in her hand. Both her posture and appearance were extremely creepy. Fortunately, he met her in broad daylight. If it was at night, Qin Yuesheng would at least be scared to death.
"Brother, is this alive or dead?" Du Beilun asked hesitantly.
"You're not talking nonsense. Would I be so unlucky as to leave a dead person here? I'm not going to be able to do business anymore."
Qin Yuesheng asked, "Is this woman alive?"
"Not really, just watch." In front of Qin Yuesheng and the other two, Du Tankang casually reached out and grabbed the woman's head, then took it off with a hard click.
“Wow!!!”
Qin Yuesheng and Du Beilun subconsciously took a big step back at the same time.
"Don't be afraid, this isn't a human." Du Tankang tapped the woman's forehead with two fingers. "Listen, it's made of wood."
When Du Tankang knocked the woman's head, there was a crisp sound of knocking on wood, which seemed to indicate that the wood was hollow inside.
Qin Yuesheng immediately became interested, "What is this thing used for?"
Du Tankang put his head back on and explained, "The Bashu Tang Sect has three unique skills: mechanical devices, hidden weapons, and poisons. What you see now is the mechanical puppet from the three unique skills. Tang Sect disciples can use the mechanical puppet to perform puppet joint attack techniques, creating a double-figure attack with countless changes.
But mine isn't that exaggerated. You can only put it up at home as a decoration when you buy it. Because when I bought this mechanical puppet from that Tang Sect disciple, he had already removed all the mechanical control parts inside the puppet, and now only an empty shell is left."
"Tsk..." Qin Yuesheng suddenly lost interest.
If a mechanical puppet has no mechanisms, can it still be called a puppet?
Du Beilun, however, still looked very concerned and suddenly asked, "Brother, is this puppet realistic?"
