Chapter 226: Junjie’s luck.
The good princess Chi Lian was not the only eager eyed person in the crowd with glittering eyes and itchy fingers. The collectors with heavy pockets were regretting so much why the treasures had not been put up for sale.
Now, they would go into the royal vault to collect dust forever. If not, they would be put on display in museums for educational purposes. To them, this was a waste.
The fan would serve a better purpose in the hands of one the many noble ladies, used as a sign of their prestige and to fend of the heat.
Prince Long Bo’s phone that was set on vibration was tickling him from deep inside the pockets of his royal uniform. He did not need to guess what all the excitement was about.
Another part of the stage rose, bringing another treasure on display. This one was large, as big as two oval tables that could fit twenty four people. It was a colossal tortoise shell with unfamiliar carvings. It’s gigantic size made people stand, gasp or scream.
A child broke out in tears.
Emperor Junjie smiled, "We had no idea what to call this gigantic tortoise shell so it has been named the celestial colossal shell. From what we know about it, the shell was buried in a temple and used for mythical rituals.
According to the research done so far, the spirit of a dragon king slumbered beneath it, giving advice to the monks in riddles. The monks would pass on the riddles to men and the worthy would decode them.
An alternate suggestion is that this is the shell of the Black tortoise, a divine protector of the empire going back to dynasties unknown.
Some suggestions say that these markings could move, once upon a time, predicting fortune, fame, floods and famine."
Chi Lian leaned towards her husband.
"Let me guess, you want it." he said.
