Chapter 352: Worship the Mountain
In the deep city, among the six guest houses, I stood in front of the window and watched the endless flow of vehicles on the road, and the night scene here was unique and pleasing to the eye.
"Xuanji, I'm afraid we really have to go to the mountain, otherwise we won't be able to do anything with a black eye."
Chen Shan is still lobbying on the side, the information in the six places is limited, if he doesn't visit the Lai family, I'm afraid he won't be able to find where the Thousand Faces Dao people are, and he is still very anxious about this.
"Chen Shan, do you know why I didn't go?"
"Why"
"Since the six places know that there is news from the Lai family, why don't they take measures, the reason is very simple, the Lai family will not say it easily, if we go, what do you think will happen?"
I replied, if Kou Jing hadn't told me those things before, I wouldn't have thought about it that much, but now that I think about it, the six places are really digging holes for me.
The thousand-faced Taoist is a tomb robber, and the tomb robbery industry is not as wonderful as it is in the novel, since ancient times, digging graves and digging graves is a felony, and in ancient times, it was basically a crime of killing the head, so those who dared to do this were all outlaws and ruthless people.
It is true that the Lai family is the head snake of the land, but the Lai family has a big business, if you really tell others the news of the thousand-faced Taoist people at will, can the Lai family live in peace and have this status?
This is impossible, that tomb robber will not be afraid of your Lai family, betraying them will kill you, so the Lai family does not dare to do this at all.
This is why they said that six places dug pits for me, they knew that I also had old grudges with the Lai family, and they still asked me to contact the Lai family, isn't this to trap me.
"It shouldn't be like this, the case of the Thousand Faces Daoist has been hanging for a long time, and the top also wants to solve it"
"The top is the top, I don't doubt that the six high-level people like to solve the case, but this doesn't mean that the people below really think so"
"But we're all here, there has to be a saying, even if you give up the mission, you have to have a saying, as soon as I report a dozen, the above will organize people to mobilize intelligence, this has a price, nothing, it will be difficult for us to have intelligence in the future"
"Don't worry, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, you don't have to go through the Lai family to find people, I have my own way"
"Xuanji, you have a way, you said it earlier, what a way"
"Heaven must not be revealed"
I shook my head, I wouldn't tell Chen Shan my method easily, it was a secret.
Chen Shan rolled his eyes, what heavenly opportunity should not be revealed, I think you just want to spend public expense to travel, forget it, forget it, you are all big guys who can't afford to offend, don't talk about it.
From the next day, Chen Shan and I visited the antique market in Shencheng, which is most famous in Panjiayuan in Kyoto, but not only in Kyoto, but also in major cities across the country, just because of its fame.
The historical heritage of Shencheng is not good, but Shencheng is now the top first-tier city in the country, the city is bigger, there are more rich people, gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, and the antique industry is naturally popular in Shencheng.
Chen Shan and I look like rookie novices, naturally scammers flock here, dare to take a vase and dare to use it with me, and dare to say that it is from the Western Zhou Dynasty with a random bronze object, and treat us as wronged, but fortunately, we grabbed the money bag and were not fooled.
After walking around like this for five days, I said to Chen Shan, "Chen Shan, through the relationship between the six places, help me get a fake antique, remember, you must do it to the point of being fake and real."
"Fake, big brother, you don't want to sell it, it's not okay, it's not a trivial matter to be caught"
"Don't worry, no, what I'm going to do now is what you said before, remember, this fake must have a history, and then if the background is the kind that can be seen at a glance that it has just been unearthed, let the thousand-faced Taoist take the bait"
"This, this..."
"Go ahead, just do it"
I waved my hand and asked Chen Shan to do it.
Chen Shan had no choice but to agree, Chen Shan found the above, and got rid of this matter completely, and the above did not embarrass Chen Shan, as for the fake, it couldn't be simpler, and he got it quickly.
This fake antique is a Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase, how Chen Shan does not understand, antiques are rich people play in the circle, he can not play, but there is a special person to teach, Chen Shan only needs to memorize it.
Chen Shan showed me the vase, I can't see it, I just think it's really beautiful, but there is a gap between handicrafts and artworks called Lingyun, the vase in front of me is exquisitely made, but it lacks that Lingyun, and what I want to give is such a Lingyun.
I asked Chen Shan to leave, and then meditated cross-legged, running the exercises, pulling that little bit of inspiration, and letting it attach to this vase, and so on for the whole night.
"This doesn't look any different, Xuanji, can it really lead a thousand faces to come out?"
"As long as it's not a mistake in workmanship, it's absolutely impossible to see, don't believe you try it"
Chen Shan was suspicious, he did not take this vase to the market for verification as soon as possible, but brought it back to the six places and handed it over to the person in charge of the six places, and the person in charge specially found an expert to verify it.
"God, if I'm not mistaken, this vase should be a fake I took out yesterday, how did it become real now"
"What, it's true, Professor Zhang, don't talk nonsense."
"How can I say nonsense, this vase has reached the point of being fake and real in terms of workmanship, but do you know what the difference is between a fake and the real thing, it is the spiritual rhyme, it is a trace of spiritual charm left after the combination of years and the painstaking efforts of the craftsman, this is the difference between art and crafts, it cannot be quantified, but people who know the goods can see it at a glance"
"Professor Zhang, we are all a group of rough people, and we don't understand, so you say, can this kind of thing be artificially achieved, such as this vase, which is obviously fake, has now become true"
"As far as I know, people can't do it, no matter how powerful the cheating methods are, and the charm of years of precipitation can't be achieved with technology, so I'm also curious, how do you do it?"
"Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about it, can this vase be sold?"
"Yes, I said, the workmanship of this fake can be fake, but it lacks this trace of spiritual rhyme, and the spiritual rhyme is supplemented, and people who don't know the inside story can't distinguish the true from the fake."
"Thank you, Professor Zhang, for your doubts."
The person in charge of the sixth department nodded, and then sent Professor Zhang away, and the next words should not be heard by outsiders.
"Zhang Chu, do you really want to sell this vase and carry out the plan?"
"How is it possible, Li Xuanji is such a smart person, I asked him to go to worship the mountain a few days ago, he refused to die, but today he gave me this whole thing, believe it or not, this vase will be fake in a few days"
"This, the means are so magical, how did Li Xuanji do it?"
"You ask me, I still ask you, send this vase to Lai's house, they will react when they see it"
"Lai's family?"
"Of course, in fact, to some extent, our purpose and Li Xuanji are the same, both are to arrest the thousand-faced Daoist, Li Xuanji refuses to worship the mountain, then the only way to let the Lai family come to worship by themselves, you will know when you go"
The person in charge shook his head and said, Chen Shan doesn't understand, but he won't understand, Li Xuanji's trick is called Fuling, which is a magical power that can only be practiced to the depths, even if it is the authentic Xuanmen, there are very few people who can do it, take this vase and show it to the people of the Lai family, they naturally know what it means.
According to what the person in charge said, Chen Shan sent the vase to the person in charge of the Lai family in Shencheng, and told the root of the matter one by one.
The person in charge of the Lai family in Shencheng is called Lai Chuanshu, who is in his forties this year, and is the third generation of the existing people of the Lai family, a generation younger than Lai Mao, but also the backbone of the Lai family.
"Mr. Chen led the way, let me meet this Li Xuanji"
"Mr. Lai, you are..."
"Worship the mountain, if Li Xuanji doesn't come to worship me, I'll go and worship him, it's such a simple thing"
Lai Chuanshu said with a smile, no one stipulates that outsiders must worship the local natives, not to mention that he is not a local native, so what's wrong with letting go of his posture.
·······
Chen Shan came back after walking for a long time with the vase, and the people from the Lai family really came, which made me very satisfied.
"Mr. Li, we meet again"
"Yes, the last time we met in Yangcheng, I didn't have time to talk to Mr. Lai"
I said with a smile, the last time I followed Kou Jing to exchange Tongtian jade pendant with the Lai family, we are also villains, naturally it is impossible to talk well, at that time, Lai Chuanshu was on the scene, and it can be regarded as a fate.
"It's just that I didn't expect Mr. Li to reach such a level in a short period of time, it's really a limitless opportunity."
"It's just a fluke"
"Practice, the most scarce thing is luck, everyone wants to get lucky, forget it, don't say compliments, Mr. Li went to Shencheng, I don't know what happened"
"Man with a Thousand Faces"
"The Thousand Faces Dao people are the best at hiding their whereabouts, it seems that Mr. Li is in trouble, I don't know if Mr. Li can ask me for help."
"That's naturally something you can't ask for, thank you Mr. Lai"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I'll let people inquire when I go back, and if there is news, I will inform Mr. Li that Lai will leave first, and I will have a banquet for Mr. Li tomorrow, and I hope Mr. Li will come to the cold house."
"Be sure to go"
After a few words of greeting, I sent Lai Chuanshu away, and when I came back, I saw Chen Shan looking at me with a bewildered expression.
"Xuanji, when did the Lai family talk so well, and this agreed?"
"Guess why"
"If I knew, would I still have to ask you, tell me?"
"Guess what, haha"
I laughed and said, don't say it, I'm going to kill you.
The reason why Lai Chuanshu is so good at talking, and he agreed without even saying the conditions, is because I have shown muscles, and the traction of spiritual machines is not something that ordinary cultivators can achieve, and there are quite few people who can do this, so to speak, I am already one of the few masters today.
This gives the Lai family a choice, whether to offend me or offend the Thousand Faces Daoist, and Lai Chuanshu stood on my side immediately, the reason is very simple, the Thousand Faces Daoist is a wanted criminal that everyone shouts and beats, and my side is a young master, with unlimited future potential, as a mature and stable person, he still has a clear relationship with this point.
