Chapter 58 : Ivory Skanda Statue

Old Xue took out his phone and called his eldest son, telling him what had happened. Xue Guoqiang, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't say anything. After listening quietly, he said faintly," This material is rooted in n0velbin★

"Dad, just wait here. I'll get someone to deal with it immediately and send you back."

Five minutes later, three police cars sped over. More than a dozen armed police officers guarded the entrance of the small hotel. A middle-aged man in police uniform got out of a white Santana behind him and hurriedly walked through the door.

The middle-aged police officer glanced at the five guys who were handcuffed on the ground. He frowned slightly and walked quickly to Old Xue. He said respectfully," Old Xue, I'm sorry to have shocked you. I'm the county public security bureau chief, Lu Guangliang. Don't worry, this matter will be thoroughly investigated. Those responsible will be severely punished."

Old Xue waved his hand and said impatiently," It's a guy called Bai Shengjun who's behind this. He's impersonating the public security, kidnapping and extorting people. I really don't understand how this kind of evil force can run amok in Tengchong?" If it weren't for this old man's good luck, I would have died here today!"

A layer of sweat appeared on Lu Guangliang's forehead. This Old Xue was obviously saying that he had neglected his duty! If he couldn't let this old man vent his anger, the higher-ups would pursue this matter...The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He turned around and glared at the five fellows on the ground. He thought to himself, These bunch of blind things, you've hit the muzzle of a gun today. No matter who's supporting you from behind, I'll definitely wipe you out this time!

"Old Xue, who is the Bai Shengjun you mentioned just now?" Lu Guangliang put on an appearance of humbly asking for advice. Meng Shicheng, who was at the side, answered first." He's the boss of Stall 18 at the stone gambling fair."

"Men." Lu Guangliang shouted at the door with a serious expression. A group of police officers immediately rushed in.

After walking for a while, he still didn't find anything. The scorching sun in the sky made his scalp burn. Xu Qing couldn't stand the heat anymore. He found an antique shop with air conditioning and walked in.

Two female shop assistants were sitting lazily behind the counter. When they saw a young man enter, they did not show too much enthusiasm. Anyway, the items on the shelves were clearly priced. If they took a fancy to it, they could just pay and take it.

Xu Qing didn't intend to enjoy the air-conditioning for nothing. He made up his mind to buy one if he saw anything interesting in this shop. It would be good as a souvenir.

This shop mainly sold miscellaneous items and porcelain. Of course, there were also jade carvings. Almost all the shops in Tengchong Antique Market would display a few jade carvings, forming a regional characteristic.

Xu Qing walked to the counter and looked at the items on the wooden shelves from top to bottom. Suddenly, an item at the bottom of the shelf attracted his attention.

It was a wax-yellow statue of a tattered Skanda carrying a pestle. It was about 20 centimeters tall and was about the thickness of an adult's arm. A large part of the nose of the Buddha statue had collapsed, and one of its legs was broken. Even the vajra pestle on its shoulder was only left with half of it. It was a typical defective product.

What attracted Xu Qing was not the statue itself, but the faint golden gas surrounding the statue, which was more than a hundred times denser than the bronze jue he had seen in the Heavenly Earth. At first glance, the entire statue was wrapped in a layer of dense golden gas, which made people have the urge to kneel and worship it.

There was a small card below the statue. On it was written, Burmese Ivory Carving, priced at 5,800.

Xu Qing suppressed the joy in his heart and pointed at the ivory statue." Please help me take a look at this thing!"

A young female shop assistant quickly brought the Wei Tuo statue to the counter. Xu Qing wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but he didn't expect the golden gas attached to the statue to split into two and quickly float towards his eyes.

The moment the golden Qi entered his eyes, Xu Qing felt as if he was in a temple. The sound of Sanskrit lingered in his mind, making his mind unusually calm and peaceful. The heat in his heart immediately disappeared without a trace, and a smile involuntarily floated on the corner of his mouth.

The female shop assistant opposite him was a little dazed by his smile. She thought to herself, Why is this kid smiling at me for no reason? Are you interested in me? It seemed that he was not buying things, but he was really picking up girls. However, he looked quite handsome. If he was not a saint, she would not mind dating him...
