Chapter Sixteen: Water and Fire Are Incompatible (1)

  Yan Jing Tian suddenly said such a sentence that killed the atmosphere, and everyone present was confused, also amused. Everyone subconsciously sniffed their noses, and those Northeastern Army cadres even lifted their shoulders to sniff under their armpits. They looked at each other, although no one spoke, but were all thinking: "What sweat smell?"

  Zhang Siye's face was slightly flushed, and he cursed in his heart: "Even if you are people of the Huo family, you shouldn't be so presumptuous!"

  Zhang Siye's expression didn't change, and he deliberately sniffed the air before saying, "Oh! Maybe it's just that the guards here don't like taking baths!" The crowd had already been somewhat displeased with Yan Jingtian and his men, and Zheng Fuguan's discontent was written all over his face. He was about to complain when Zhang Siye spoke up, and everyone else also held back.

  Zhang Siye gave himself an excuse and continued: "Brother Yan, please step back a little, I'm going to take the treasure now!"

  Yan Jing Tian smiled and said: "Alright then, alright!" After that, he also retreated a step back.

  Zhang Siye straightened up and looked at Mr. Zhou, who waved a large Feng Shui compass in his hand and nodded to Zhang Siye.

  Zhang Siye's expression was focused, he rubbed his hands together and was about to reach out. The two men who were also wearing Taoist robes and holding silver basins of water had been waiting on the side and stepped forward.

  Yan Jing Tian said something about body odor, and the people present just thought it was an inappropriate joke. However, two people who heard this sentence were frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat. These two people were Hei San Bian and Huo Xiao Xie, who were quietly lying on the roof of the Buddhist hall.

  Hei San Bian carefully inquired about the method of entering the Buddha Hall after staying with Huo Xiao Ye, and felt that it was indeed safe and sound. Hei San Bian calculated a plan to steal the Female Body Jade, led by Huo Xiao Ye, and truly as Huo Xiao Ye said, they crawled all the way up to the top of the Buddha Hall. Hei San Bian had thought that when there were no people in the Buddha Hall, he would sneak down and take the treasure of the Female Body Jade, but unexpectedly, for half a day today, the Buddha Hall was crowded with people coming and going, and someone was always on guard, so they never found an opportunity to make a move, and had to lie still for most of the day.

  Huoxiao Ye, this vagabond, even in the summer, doesn't often take baths, let alone during these cold winter months. So when he sweats a lot, there's always a stench of body odor. Hei Sanbian and Huoxiao Ye have been together for a long time, so they're used to it and can't smell it normally. The two of them were lying on the roof of the Buddhist hall, where the candles were burning brightly, and the warm air was all concentrated on the roof. Although they weren't wearing much, the roof was poorly ventilated and the temperature was high, so both of them were covered in stinky sweat, and they could smell the acrid odor on each other's bodies.

  Yan Jing Tian suddenly mentioned the smell of sweat, and the two of them had a guilty conscience, thinking that it was the gray-robed man below who smelled their scent, and they were even more frightened. Huo Xiao Xie couldn't help but tremble with fear, fortunately Black San Bian wasn't an ordinary person, although he was also startled, as long as the fire didn't burn his buttocks, he wouldn't expose himself. Black San Bian stretched out his hand to cover Huo Xiao Xie's mouth, not letting him make another move. Fortunately, Zhang Si Ye didn't pay attention to Yan Jing Tian's words and used other excuses to laugh it off, without any reaction, which allowed Black San Bian and Huo Xiao Xie to let out a sigh of relief, knowing they had narrowly escaped disaster.

  Yan Jing Tian looked down and saw Zhang Si Ye taking the treasure, secretly laughing in his heart: "This Zhang Si, still thinks he has some skills, but he's just a treasure holder, not listening to my warning, do as you please."

  Mr. Zhang was fully focused, slowly putting on the fine sheepskin gloves, staring intently at the woman's abdomen, and extending a hand to press into her belly. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the woman's abdomen, as if something that could emit light had been disturbed and finally appeared. Mr. Zhang exclaimed "Good!" in his heart, and ordered in a low voice: "Bring the medicine water!" A man holding a silver tray hurried forward. Mr. Zhang shouted again: "Duck-billed forceps!" Another man hastily handed over a pair of forceps with a wide, duck-billed head to Mr. Zhang.

  Zhang Siye carefully inserted the pincers into the woman's abdomen and paused for a moment, saying: "Pour!"

  The man holding the silver tray stepped forward, following Zhang Siye's tongs (16K mobile phone stand)

  He slowly poured the water, and the water was a dark green color, and it's unknown what it's made of. Only after pouring for a moment, suddenly a hissing sound was heard, and from Zhang Siye's hands, a burst of sour, rotten, and smelly black air suddenly shot out! Everyone was shocked and shouted, and suddenly retreated backwards!

  "Please, everyone, don't panic! This gas is harmless now, it's just been neutralized by the medicine!"

  The black air in the woman's abdomen dissipated after a burst, and Zhang Siye's body remained still, his hands continuing to insert inward as he muttered to himself: "It's actually a pair of jade fetuses! How strange!"

  The crowd gathered around again, holding their breath and staring intently at Zhang Siye as he retrieved the treasure.

  A radiant glow gradually intensified within the woman's jade-like abdomen, and this light circulated ceaselessly throughout her body, rendering her entire being translucent. She truly resembled a celestial maiden descended from the Ninth Heaven. Huo Xiaoyao on the rooftop was also mesmerized by the sight.

  Zhang Siye chuckled and shouted, "Out!" His hands shook, and a crisp cracking sound was heard. The female jade body suddenly broke into two sections at the abdomen. Zhang Siye's hand grasped it, and a ball of light followed his hand, leaving the abdomen of the female jade body.

  "Everyone! This is the female body jade's treasure, also called Jade Taishe Pearl. Today we are indeed blessed to have a pair!"

  All that could be seen was that in Zhang Siye's palm, there were two things that did not resemble round beads. They looked more like two irregular stones. However, these "stones" were clearly extraordinary. As Zhang Siye's palm moved, a glow emanated from various parts of the two "stones", sometimes red, sometimes yellow, and sometimes a mixture of both.

  Everyone stared at these two stones, all of them were stunned. Deputy Zheng said: "Why aren't they pearls..."

  "Zheng Fu Guan is muddled," Zhang Siye replied, "Jade that isn't polished won't become a fine vessel. Which jade pearl is naturally perfect? They all need to be ground and polished."

  Vice Zheng suddenly enlightened, his face showed joy, and said: "Ah! I was really confused!"

  Yida Shaojiang, Ning Shen professor and others all crowded over to take a closer look, Zhang Siye waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry! Wait for me to put it in the container! Come on!"

  Just as Zhang Siye's voice fell, another man in a Buddhist robe came forward, holding a half-foot-high, slender glass container filled with pale green medicinal liquid. Zhang Siye put the two "Jade Tonic Pearls" into it. The two Jade Tonic Pearls slowly sank down, their light shining against the green color inside the container, making them look even more extraordinary and eerie!

  Zhang Siye covered the lid, and someone had already pushed a square table over and moved away the broken glass container that had held the female corpse. Zhang Siye placed this glass container on the table and said, "Now that the Jade Embryo Pearl has been removed, but its toxicity is still great, it will need to be soaked for some days to remove the poison before it can be polished. Please, everyone, take a look!"

  The crowd walked forward and surrounded the jade fetus pearl in the container, pointing and discussing. Professor Ning said: "Fourth Master Zhang, I don't know if you can pick it up and take a look?"

  Zhang Siye took off his sheepskin gloves and threw them into a silver plate on one side, laughing: "Please go ahead!"

  Professor Ning pushed his glasses, picked up the container with one hand, and swayed it back and forth. The two jade fetus pearls inside floated gently, continuously emitting red and yellow light. Professor Ning nodded silently and handed the container to General Yitian, who also looked at it with great fondness.

  The container was passed into Zheng's hands, and he exclaimed: "I never thought the Jade Pearl would be like this!" He held the container in his hand, turning it over left and right, reluctant to put it down.

  Professor Ning and General Yida seemed somewhat absent-minded, they didn't seem to be very interested in the Yu Tai Zhu, but rather more interested in Zhang Siye. The two of them weren't surrounding the Yu Tai Zhu either, after exchanging a few words, Professor Ning walked towards Zhang Siye.

  Zhang Siye knew that Ning Shen professor had ulterior motives, but he couldn't avoid him either, so he still smiled at Ning Shen professor with a full face.

  Mr. Ning said: "China is vast and rich in resources, with many treasures. Today, I have opened my eyes wide! Zhang Siye's skills are not comparable to ordinary people!"

  "Please, Professor Ning, don't be polite!" Zhang Siye said with a smile.
