Listening to all kinds of strange comments from the villagers, Zhu Renxia looked up at the sky.
The sky above is clear and the slightly dim sun hangs high in the sky. Where is the shadow of Chang'an Tianzun?
"I haven't seen Tianzun for five days."
Zhu Renxia was a little worried for the gods.
In his memory, this was the first time he had not seen the old man for such a long time since he met Tianzun through the celestial being.
"Haha... I, an ordinary person, am actually worried about gods? Tianzun has boundless power, what can happen? Maybe the Jade Emperor wanted to see him for something, and he left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell me."
Zhu Renxia laughed at himself in his heart, turned to Jiang Guanjun and said, "Third uncle, why do I think this giant dragon is made of gold?"
"Hmm...it looks similar to me."
Jiang Guanjun had the same idea in his mind, but he really couldn't guess how there could be a golden dragon with this shape in the world, so he didn't speak rashly.
"I'll go over and find out."
Jin Zhu drew out her machete and walked forward cautiously.
"I'd better go!"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Guanjun moved his body and flew out like a big bird.
Although he was very skilled in martial arts, Jiang Guanjun did not dare to be careless when facing this monster that was more than twenty feet long and emitted golden light. He did not know whether it was a dragon or a snake. The closer the distance, the slower his steps became.
After a moment, Jiang Guanjun slowly approached the giant dragon.
I saw it still lying quietly on the city wall, still motionless.
"Dead?"
Jiang Guanjun murmured to himself, carefully bent down and stretched out his left hand to touch its body.
The dragon still made no move. Jiang Guanjun felt relieved and put his palm on it.
When I touched it, it felt as cold as ice and as smooth as jade. It felt like something...like gold?
Jin Zhu was slightly slower than Champion Jiang. Seeing Champion Jiang reaching out to touch it, the monster didn't react at all. Jin Zhu followed suit and imitated Champion Jiang, bending down and reaching out to touch it.
"Third brother, I feel like gold."
Jiang Guanjun nodded: "Well...it does look like gold, but why does gold have this shape?"
Seeing that the golden dragon showed no reaction, Jin Zhu became bolder and walked up to the red gem the size of a carriage and looked at it carefully.
The mirror surface was as smooth as jade, reflecting her plump and graceful figure. The effect was many times better than that of a bronze mirror!
"Third brother, the mirror in the middle seems to be made of ruby."
Jiang Guanjun laughed innocently: "I have been in the military camp for many years, and I rarely see jewelry such as gemstones and agate. I only recognize gold."
Jin Zhu tapped it with his knuckles, only to hear a crisp sound of "dang, dang, dang".
However, she still couldn't conclude that it was a gem, because the gems she had seen were rubies the size of a fingernail and the size of a carriage. These are only found in the sky, right?
"Third brother, gold is soft, how about I try to chop it with a knife?" Jin Zhu raised the machete as he spoke.
"Don't be reckless!"
Jiang Guanjun hurriedly stopped: "First, we have not yet determined what this is. Second, even if it is made of gold, such a long golden dragon seems not to have been made by humans. It is possible that Tianzun dropped it, or a friend of Tianzun dropped it. Those that came down, we damaged and can’t explain.”
"That's what Third Brother said."
Jinzhu put away the scimitar, "Then let me pinch it with my fingernails and try. This golden dragon is as thick as a big tree. If I pinch it with my fingers, it won't leave any traces."
"Try it."
The two people scratched the golden dragon's skin with their fingernails almost at the same time.
Clear scratches were immediately left, and the tentacles felt not very hard, just like gold.
"It should be gold." Jiang Guanjun concluded.
Jinzhu's speculation went further: "I think the shape is like a necklace inlaid with rubies, but it's too big. With human capabilities, let alone wearing it, even making it is incapable of doing so. Maybe it's like what the third brother said. It is said that it was Tianzun or Tianzun’s friend who fell into our Chang’an Town.”
Jiang Guanjun nodded: "Let's go back and report to the mayor."
Just when Jiang Guanjun and Jin Zhu approached the giant dragon, nearly a thousand people in Chang'an Town stood on top of the city wall, and they all held their breath, waiting for the answer to be revealed.
Let's see if this monster with a golden body of more than 20 feet is a dragon, a snake, or something else?
After a while, Jiang Guanjun and Jin Zhu came to Zhu Renxia together and told everyone their judgment.
"Jin Zhu and I have looked at it. This should be a necklace inlaid with rubies. However, it should not be made with human skills. I also ask the mayor to ask Chang'an Tianzun if his old man left it in our Chang'an Town. of?"
When the answer to the mystery was revealed, the people of Chang'an Town were relieved, and at the same time their curiosity was somewhat lost.
I originally thought it was a golden dragon descending from the sky, but I didn't expect it to be a fairy jewelry.
"I just said this is not a dragon. A dragon should have four legs."
"I thought it was a snake, but it turned out to be a fairy's jewelry. To be able to wear such a long necklace, how thick does a fairy's neck have to be?"
"Even if it's not a dragon, such long gold jewelry is an eye-opener for us. It probably weighs several thousand kilograms, right?"
"How many kilograms? I'm afraid it's tens of thousands of kilograms! With such a gold necklace, it's priceless, not to mention being as rich as a country!"
"Don't you understand this? The most expensive part of this piece of gold jewelry is not the gold, but the crystal-clear ruby in the middle. That is a priceless treasure!"
Zhao Yun, who was born as a scholar, was the most knowledgeable. He recognized at a glance that the rubies placed on the city wall were of the highest value, so he put his hands on his back and spread knowledge to his colleagues around him.
Xu Youliang sighed with emotion: "Our Chang'an Town is going to be developed now. If we convert this piece of jewelry into silver coins, it would cost more than hundreds of thousands, right?"
"Hundreds of thousands?"
Zhao Yun chuckled and said, "The ruby the size of a carriage alone is worth millions of taels of silver. If it can be presented to the emperor, I am afraid that officials below the second rank will choose it casually with their eyes closed."
After listening to the conversation between Zhao Yun and Xu Youliang, the people around him were amazed.
"Wow... this is too valuable, isn't it? Then even if our Chang'an Town doesn't sell coal, rice, salt and other supplies, it will be enough for our whole town to eat and drink for a hundred years without having to worry about it!"
"You're so beautiful, you don't know what your last name is? You're lazy and don't do anything. You're more comfortable than the emperor. Why does Chang'an Town support you?"
"Didn't I give you an example?"
"Don't mention a chestnut, you can't even lift a walnut!"
"What are you talking about? I'm just trying to make a metaphor?"
"What's wrong with my Bifang? If you want to hit Bifang, try touching her finger."
"Pedantry, ignorance, and illiteracy! Are the examples and metaphors I mentioned the Lizi and Bifang you mentioned?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Let's ask the mayor if he can let us touch gold? I've never touched gold before."
Someone timidly asked Zhu Renxia: "Mayor, can you let us touch gold? I have lived for more than thirty years and have never touched gold."
Zhu Renxia pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then everyone will come forward and touch it. But remember, no one should damage it with force, let alone get a piece of it and steal it home, otherwise they will be expelled from Chang'an Town! "
"Okay, this is the treasure of the gods. We are just enjoying our addiction. Who dares to steal it?"
But Zhu Renxia also understands that human nature is greedy in the final analysis. No matter how good the oath is, some people may take risks when faced with the temptation of gold.
"Where is Ding Xiao?" Zhu Renxia called.
Ding Xiao cupped his hands and stepped out: "My subordinates are here, please give me the mayor's orders."
Zhu Renxia said solemnly: "I order you to lead the officers of the Gentlemen Company to guard this gold jewelry. If anyone dares to damage it or even attempts to steal it, he will immediately take it and send it to the council hall."
"As you command!"
Ding Xiao clasped his fists in agreement and waved his fists to give the order: "A company of soldiers is out. The mayor ordered us to guard this golden necklace. Everyone lined up inside and outside the city wall, one person every five steps. Keep an eye on it and make sure there is no mistake."
soon.
More than seventy Minzhuang members of the Gentlemen Company walked out from the crowd and lined up from the top to the bottom of the city wall. They all held their heads high and their chests high, standing upright and looking straight.
For them, this is the mayor's affirmation, letting some people who have been bandits guard the gold. Is there any deeper trust in the world than this?
