Chapter 015 The Antiques Selected by the Weasel!
Cao Kun's consciousness stirred, and a line of data appeared beneath his golden eyes:
[A Ming Dynasty rosewood box carved with a dragon playing with a pearl: three feet long and nearly two feet wide, carved from a single piece of rosewood reserved for the imperial family.]
The box is decorated with intricate cloud and dragon patterns carved around its perimeter. The dragons are depicted as powerful and vigorous, with clearly defined scales and claws, their heads held high, and their bodies entwined with cloud patterns, conforming to the regulations for Ming Dynasty imperial artifacts. It is currently valued at 300 million yuan.
Cao Kun's eyes immediately lit up.
He knew that sandalwood treasure chests were usually unearthed from the tombs of emperors, members of the royal family, or high-ranking officials.
These were special containers used by ancient nobles to store valuable clothing and treasures.
Cao Kun noticed that the lock on the outside of the sandalwood-patterned box was made of pure copper in the shape of a dragon.
He took two steps forward and began to circulate the Azure Dragon Technique.
Immediately, a faint golden light emanated from the tips of Cao Kun's fingers.
He gently tapped the dragon-shaped clasp.
There was a "click!" sound.
The copper lock opened with a click.
A rich sandalwood scent wafted over, refreshing and invigorating.
Cao Kun could tell that this sandalwood was not artificially processed.
The natural fragrance of sandalwood, which has been accumulating for a hundred years, becomes more and more mellow over time!
Cao Kun opened the lid of the wooden box.
Inside, there was a layer of yellowish brocade lining.
A dragon robe lay quietly on top.
Its shape is regular and its magnificence is overwhelming.
Cao Kun bent down and picked up the dragon robe.
Beneath the golden eyes, another passage of text appeared:
【Item Name: Embroidered Jade Fairy Robe】
[Item Description: The immortal robe is made of a light and transparent fabric, like Xuan paper. The robe is embroidered with complete landscapes, pavilions, clouds, and crane patterns. It is impervious to water and fire and absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth year-round.]

……
Cao Kun took out the immortal robe from the brocade painting and put it into the Xuanhan dragon-patterned thumb ring.
In addition, he also saw a white jade hairpin.
The jade is yellowish, and the hairpin head is carved with a small bat pattern!
Cao Kun raised his eyes and scanned the area with his Golden Eye, revealing a line of data:
【Item Name: Jade Hairpin with Bat Pattern】
[Item Level: Low-grade Magic Item]
[Item Description: Burial item of a Ming Dynasty noblewoman.]
[Item Ability: Amplifies Illusion Magic, Gathers Yin Spiritual Energy.]
[Dragon Aura Value: 158]
[Source of Dragon Energy: Tianshou Mountain Dragon Vein]
In addition, there are some jade jewelry pieces.
[Ming Dynasty silver earrings: small teardrop shape, approximately 4.5 cm in length and weighing about 8 grams.]
[Funerary bronze mirror: Plain bronze mirror, the mirror surface is made of bronze, the whole is round, about 10 cm in diameter, about 0.8 cm thick, the mirror body is thin and light, and the edges are slightly rolled.]
[The Five Emperors' Coins of the Qing Dynasty: Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao, and Jiaqing Tongbao.]
[Ming Dynasty Jade Pendant: Made of Hetian white jade, with a delicate and warm texture. The front is carved with an intricate lotus scroll pattern, with gracefully spreading branches and full petals. The carving is exquisite, with smooth lines and no harsh marks from the chisel. Tiny cloud patterns are carved between the lotus scroll patterns.]
……
Cao Kun knew about weasels and foxes.
He was inherently greedy and had a particular fondness for stealing funerary objects from coffins.
Firstly, the weasel uses the yin energy in the funerary objects to cultivate itself.
Secondly, funerary objects can be hidden in the nest as a form of accumulating wealth.
Once they transform into human form, they can be used to exchange for human items.
Cao Kun could tell that this was a fine piece from Huang Pizi's collection.
He collected them all into the Xuanhan Dragon Pattern Thumb Ring.
Just then, Wang Kaixuan's loud voice came from diagonally opposite: "Hey, found him, he's here."
So, Cao Kun, Hu Bayi, and the others followed the sound to Wang Kaixuan.
Sure enough, there were three people standing in the ravine ahead.
Su Mo looked Ye Yixin, who had her hair tied in a ponytail, over and saw her trembling.
Chu Jian, wearing an earth-yellow work jacket, paced back and forth.
Wearing glasses, Sadi Peng reached out, seemingly grabbing at something.
Without exception, all three of them had faces covered in dirt.
Just like Wang Kaixuan.
Needless to say.
It must also be the work of that white-haired, yellow-skinned creature.
"Master Cao, what's wrong with them?"
Wang Kaixuan thought it over and did not act rashly.
"They're all possessed by a nightmare. Pour water on them with the can."
Cao Kun gave the instructions.
"Okay."
Wang Kaixuan took out a water bottle and splashed it at the three of them.
Splash!
Splash!
"oops!"
It's raining—
……
Soon, Chu Jian, Sa Dipeng, and Ye Yixin suddenly opened their eyes.
They stared blankly at Cao Kun, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan above them.
"You...you are—"
Chu Jian spoke first.
"Those three students from your archaeology department, right? We've come to see you."
Cao Kun explained.
"right!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he glanced at Sadi Peng with a hint of reproach: "It's all your fault! Why did you have to look for aliens? You almost got us all killed!"
"No, no, Chu Jian, I... I'm not lying to you, I really saw an old man with white hair—"
Sadi Peng scratched his head, insisting that he hadn't misread it.
There was indeed a little white dwarf.
"I once saw a description of the Greys in a magazine; they were little white people..."
Sadi Peng confidently asserted that he had seen aliens.
"Alright, Little Sa, stop talking—"
Clearly, Ye Yixin was quite frightened.
Sadi Peng had no choice but to shut up.
After composing themselves, the three expressed their gratitude to Cao Kun, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan.
"It's alright, it's all thanks to our Master Cao."
Wang Kaixuan said in a very casual manner.
Cao Kun introduced himself as Cao Kun and told Ye Yixin, Sa Dipeng, and Chu Jian to leave this place as soon as possible.
"That's right."
Ye Yixin gritted her teeth, her face turning extremely ugly.
The three climbed to the top of the ravine and, escorted by Cao Kun, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan, headed towards the national highway.
During this time, Sadi Peng quietly asked Wang Kaixuan if they had seen the little white man.
Wang Kaixuan vaguely remembered it, but he wasn't sure if it was an alien.
"Hey Lao Hu, what do you think? If this is an alien, we should catch it and send it to the Beijing Zoo for exhibition."
"The entrance fee is only one yuan, that's not much, is it?"
Wang Kaixuan slapped his thigh suddenly and said.
"How can you do this? Those are aliens. We should treat them kindly."
Upon hearing this, Sadipong's expression changed drastically, and he said, "Otherwise, you will trigger an interstellar war."
"At that time, the Earth may also suffer a devastating blow."
"Yeah, Fatty, the old folks always say you should make lots of friends."
"By doing this, you are disrupting interstellar peace, and you will become a sinner against Earth."
Hu Bayi stated that Wang Kaixuan has serious ideological problems and needs to make a self-criticism.
What?
Wang Kaixuan never expected things to be this serious!
Fortunately, that was just his thought.
Soon, the group passed through the woods and arrived at the national highway.
Cao Kun saw a faint light source to his left front.
That's where they came from.
chug.
chug.
Suddenly, a loud engine noise came from the right rear.
It looks like there are vehicles.
