Chapter 421: Working Together Again
"The water of life?"
Cheng Tian's eyes widened in surprise.
"You know this? Is there really such a thing in this world?"
Zhao Tianzhen looked at Cheng Tian in surprise.
"Haha......"
Cheng Tian suddenly burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Tianzhen frowned and looked at Cheng Tian in confusion.
"Wife, don't you believe that there is such a thing in the world?"
Cheng Tian finally stopped laughing, and asked Zhao Tianzhen a little breathlessly.
"Of course I don't believe it, but they all swear that it is, so I suspect there is such a thing, but it's certainly not something that makes you immortal. ”
Zhao Tianzhen shook his head, and then explained softly.
"Actually, there is such a thing in legend. ”
Cheng Tian suddenly stood up, turned his back to Zhao Tianzhen, and put his hands behind his back in an unfathomable appearance.
"Legends? What legends? Why haven't I heard such a legend?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked suspiciously, frowning.
"I'm sure you've heard of this legend, it's just that it's been given a different name. ”
Cheng Tian said with a smile.
"Oh, tell me, what legend?"
Zhao Tianzhen looked at Cheng Tian curiously.
"More than 2,000 years ago, Qin Shi Huang swept the world and unified the six countries, and Xu Fu, a monk, wrote to him to tell him that there were three immortal islands overseas, and there were immortals on the fairy island, so Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to lead three thousand boys and girls to cross the fairy island eastward, looking for immortals to seek the elixir of life, but unfortunately Xu Fu took these three thousand boys and girls and never returned, Qin Shi Huang finally failed to get this elixir, and only lived fifty years before dying. ”
Cheng Tian said with a smile.
"Are you saying that this water of life has something to do with the elixir of life that Qin Shi Huang asked for?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked Cheng Tian in surprise.
"Yes, it is recorded that this water of life is another name for the elixir of life. ”
Cheng Tian smiled and nodded.
"However, according to this legend, this elixir should be on the overseas immortal island, how could it appear in the East China Sea?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked with a frown and puzzled.
"I don't know about this, but here's what I know, this water of life is the elixir of life. ”
Cheng Tian shook his head lightly and replied with a smile.
"Did your master tell you this?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked Cheng Tian curiously.
"No, this is what I read from a book. ”
Cheng Tian shook his head lightly.
"What book, do you still have it with you?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked curiously.
"No, this book is not mine, I read it from an old man's friend, who had a grandfather in his family, and he was later a very famous archaeologist in China, and I had the privilege of reading his books when he was conducting archaeological research in the northwest. ”
Cheng Tian chuckled and shook his head.
"And where is this archaeologist now? Can I meet him?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked softly.
"He's gone. ”
Cheng Tian shook his head with a look of loss.
"Missing, when did you go missing, haven't you found it yet?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked curiously.
"Yes, he basically spent most of his life in the northwest, and then disappeared while investigating a monument in the northwest, and he has been missing for almost seven years, and his body has not been found until now. ”
Cheng Tian nodded lightly.
"It's been seven years, so it seems that there is more luck and less luck. ”
Zhao Tianzhen said with some regret.
"yes, by the way, having said all that, wife, you haven't told me what to ask me to help do?"
Cheng Tian nodded, put away some sadness, and asked Zhao Tianzhen with a smile.
"It's for you to play a tomb robber, break into them, and then hunt them down!"
Zhao Tianzhen replied softly.
"Oh, I see! Wife, you're asking me to pretend to be a tomb robber, and then investigate this matter and catch all these tomb robbers who came to the East China Sea, right?"
Cheng Tian nodded and asked Zhao Tianzhen with a smile.
"Yes, and ...... I suspect that this group of tomb robbers may have something to do with Yanan's accident. ”
Zhao Tianzhen nodded lightly.
"What? How could they have anything to do with each other?"
Cheng Tian asked with a slight frown.
"Look at this ......"
Zhao Tianzhen took out a photo from his pocket, which was a photo of a man with a black cap, sunglasses and a mask sitting in a car.
"This is the murderer, right?"
When you see the photo all day long, you know who the person on it is.
"Well, this person is the one who injured Yanan, I still have a few photos of him outside the car, although I still can't see his face, but I can see his clothes and figure. ”
Zhao Tianzhen nodded, took out a few more photos and handed them to Cheng Tian.
The man in the photo is short and thin, tightly wrapped, and although he can't see his face, he can basically determine his approximate size.
"This man is about 1.5 meters tall and weighs no more than 50 kilograms, and later when I interrogated the tomb robbers, I gave them these pictures to those people, and several of them identified a person. ”
Zhao Tianzhen continued to say to Cheng Tian.
"Oh?
Cheng Tian raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
"That's the man. ”
Zhao Tianzhen took out another photo, this is a frontal headshot, the photo is very clear, the photo is an ordinary man, the kind that can't be seen at all when thrown into the pile.
"Is this the person who was designated?"
Cheng Tian took the photo and carefully observed the characteristics of this person.
"Yes, the person they identified is called Duan Heping, thirty-six years old, and he is a tomb robber like them, but this person has always been alone, or cooperates with others, and there is no fixed gang, and this time he also came to the East China Sea. ”
Zhao Tianzhen nodded in confirmation.
"That's kind of interesting......"
Cheng Tian said with a chuckle.
"Xiaotian, how much do you know about tomb robbing?"
Zhao Tianzhen asked solemnly to Cheng Tian.
"Frankly, if it's theoretical, I'm very knowledgeable, but I've never actually done it. ”
Cheng Tian replied with a smile.
"That's fine, this time the tomb robbers gathered in the East China Sea not to rob the tomb, but for the water of life, and that water of life is likely to be in Wang Defa's hands. ”
Zhao Tianzhen nodded lightly.
"Then can't I just go to Wang Defa directly?"
Cheng Tian asked puzzled.
"Wang Defa is missing. ”
Zhao Tianzhen said softly.
"Missing?"
Cheng Tian's brows furrowed, and he suddenly felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
