When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 290 Amulet and Great Sword

"how much is it?"

"I've already said it, it's fate that brought us together."

Since we're destined to be together, why do we need money?

Moreover.

"Who's short of money? As Thor... oh no, as Lord Thor, how could I be short of money?"

Upon hearing this from the handsome young man who had blocked his way, Zhu Chongjiu replied, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he stretched out a hand towards the young man.

Without further ado, the young man placed two seemingly jade "no-worry" plaques into Zhu Chongjiu's hands.

At the same time, he said to Zhu Chongjiu, "These two possession talismans belong to your wife and daughter respectively."

Keep them close to your body, and you will be safe and sound forever!

"What about mine?"

Seeing that he didn't have any of his own, Zhu Chongjiu asked the young man, "You said we were destined to meet, but then you didn't give me a single piece?"

You might as well say you're destined to be with my wife and daughters; that would make me feel a little better.

"you?

You'll have to fight for it yourself.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the young man opposite him smile at him and then suddenly disappear from his sight.

Zhu Chongjiu was deeply shocked by this miraculous scene.

Before I could recover from my initial shock, the young man's words suddenly echoed in my mind again:

Oh right, I forgot to tell you.

The sword in your house is called a great sword; you mustn't tarnish its majesty.

The sudden voice in his mind startled Zhu Chongjiu, who was standing there in a daze.

Looking at his daughter in his arms and the crowd around him, Zhu Chongjiu immediately called out to the person who had just passed by him.

"Hey bro!"

Did you just see the young man standing opposite me?

Seeing that the passerby he had stopped seemed a little confused, Zhu Chongjiu continued, "He's a young man dressed in ancient costume, and he's quite handsome."

They were just talking to me right now.

You should have been able to see it when you walked towards us from the other side.

When passersby saw Zhu Chongjiu gesturing wildly back and forth and saying some unfounded things, they frowned and said, "Is he crazy?" before turning around and leaving.

However, the passerby hadn't taken more than a few steps when he quickly returned to Zhu Chongjiu's side, asking him anxiously:

"Whose child are you holding?"

"Mine? What's wrong with it?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself, "Damn, do they really think I'm crazy?"

"Brother, look at you."

I just want to ask you something. If you saw me, say you saw me; if you didn't, say you didn't.

Are you serious?

"Young lady, quickly say hello to your uncle!"

Finally, after his daughter confirmed the incident, the passerby refrained from calling the police.

After the passersby left, Zhu Chongjiu looked at the two amulets in his hand and muttered to himself, "This world is truly in chaos."

But why does this young man evoke such a strong sense of closeness in me?

After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, Zhu Chongjiu said helplessly, "Never mind, there's always a way out."

There are some things you just can't guess, let alone think about them.

Time flew by, and Zhu Chongjiu not only ate lunch at his parents' house, but also dinner.

His wife also went directly to her in-laws' house after get off work.

After dinner, when the family of three returned home, Zhu Chongjiu told his wife about his experience at his parents' house that noon.

At the same time, he took out the two possession talismans while speaking.

The moment Zhu Chongjiu took out two protective talismans, his wife exclaimed repeatedly, "I like them!"

And you have to wear it.

But Zhu Chongjiu stopped his wife from doing this.

"Go to the appraisal center tomorrow to test the material of these two amulets."

Do not bring any radioactive materials.

As Zhu Chongjiu spoke, he put away the two amulets.

The wife muttered a complaint from the side: "If there really is such a divine person as you described, how could he possibly frame us?"

What do ordinary people like us have that would make them worth being framed?

Making a mountain out of a molehill!

Although his wife said it, she didn't stop Zhu Chongjiu from putting away the possession talisman.

After nightfall, unable to sleep because of what happened during the day, Zhu Chongjiu went to the north bedroom.

(Zhu Chongjiu's family had two bedrooms, one facing north and one facing south. The family of three lived in the south bedroom, while the north bedroom was used to store the children's toys and other miscellaneous items.)

He pulled out the sword he had picked up from the construction site and began to examine it from all angles.

Looking at the dull, unremarkable, and utterly unglamorous sword, Zhu Chongjiu recalled the young man's words.

"The Great Sword!"

The man said your name is Big Sword, is that right?

Looking at the spot on the sword that looked like it had been broken and then rejoined, a sense of sorrow welled up in my heart once again.

Tears involuntarily dripped from the corners of her eyes onto her chest.

Suppressing his grief, Zhu Chongjiu thought to himself:

"We're going to test the materials of those two amulets tomorrow, and I'll take you with me to have them tested too."

Also, find some things to test your sharpness!

The next morning, Zhu Chongjiu prepared breakfast and waited for his wife to finish eating before taking the children and driving to the county's testing center.

After a morning of tinkering, the testing center finally concluded that "the material of these two amulets is unknown."

There is no information about this mineral on this planet.

It could be an object from outer space.

Even the sword known as the Great Sword, its material is unknown.

However, what they have in common is their hardness.

Even bricks and stones cannot compare.

Before leaving, the teaching and research center told Zhu Chongjiu to keep them safe.

Because of their current performance, they are priceless.

Upon hearing that it was priceless, Zhu Chongjiu was overjoyed.

But what he didn't know was that this trip to the testing center would bring him endless trouble.

They even faced several life-or-death crises.

Zhu Chongjiu had just returned home and hadn't even had time to change his clothes when the phone rang.

Who could it be from an unfamiliar number?

"Hello! Who is it?"

As Zhu Chongjiu answered the phone and asked questions, the person on the other end replied, "I heard you have two pieces of mutated jade and a sword."

I want to acquire it!

"Damn, the news spread that fast?"

Upon hearing that someone wanted to buy the items he had taken to the testing center that morning, Zhu Chongjiu simply replied with two words, "Not for sale," and hung up the phone.

"These bastards, they just casually reveal other people's information, they'll get what's coming to them!"

Before Zhu Chongjiu could finish his sentence, which was already utterly speechless, the phone rang again.

"Brother, don't hang up yet."

You name a price; everything has a price…

"I won't sell it for any price!"

Before the other end could finish speaking, Zhu Chongjiu hung up the phone again.

After that, Zhu Chongjiu's phone received no fewer than a hundred calls and dozens of text messages throughout the entire afternoon.

However, Zhu Chongjiu did not answer the phone this time; he simply hung up.

The text messages I received were mostly business pitches and direct quotes.

The minimum bets ranged from several hundred thousand to as high as ten million.

Some of the text messages even contained a hint of threat.

Sayings like "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure" and "Some things, even if you have them, you can't keep them."

Zhu Chongjiu treated these text messages the same way he treated the phone calls, and did not reply to them.

But the offer of ten million really tempted him.

After having lunch with his daughter at home, Zhu Chongjiu waited until his wife returned before recounting the events of the day to her.

After looking at the two amulets and the large sword, the daughter-in-law pondered for a moment and said, "Considering the person who gave you these things, and the materials of these two items..."

These two things must be extraordinary.

Since people say it's a talisman, I feel I shouldn't sell it easily.

If it's truly a last resort, then sell one, but insist on keeping the one for your daughter.

And this sword of yours, if it's not good enough, just sell it.

"It's better to lose money than to suffer a greater disaster."

Upon hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Zhu Chongjiu hurriedly said, "Since it's a talisman, neither yours nor your daughter's can be sold."

"Waiting for this great sword...!"

As he spoke, Zhu Chongjiu recalled the words that the young man had left in his mind.

"This great sword must not be disgraced!"

"We'll talk about this sword later."

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Zhu Chongjiu was making breakfast when he heard someone ring his doorbell.
