Chapter 16: The Ancient Jade Plate
?
According to Xia Molei's description of the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, there are many theories, among which the more credible theory is the destruction of the war, drought, water shortage, ecological deterioration of environmental damage, and the spread of plague and disease, which are believed to be the reasons why the ancient kingdom of Loulan finally disappeared and was buried by the desert, but no one can be sure whether the real reason is so, because the current ancient Loulan ruins have long been buried in a desert known as the "Sea of Death".
However, it is still uncertain whether the dungeon they are talking about is the ancient country of Loulan, but as soon as they heard that the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan are located in the northwest Xinjiang region, which is only about a day's distance from Jiuqu County, this suddenly made Yuan Shuai suspicious, is it really a coincidence that they are so close?
In any case, Yuan Shuai still wants to report this unexpected clue to Xuantong Zhenren, and in his excitement, Yuan Shuai can't help but hug Xia Molei's delicate body tightly is a burst of "crazy gnawing" Xiaoxuan: It's so primitive and violent, but I like it~
However, at this time, seeing Xia Molei asking Yuan Shuai to eat for a long time and there was no news, so the girl was sent over to investigate the situation, and when she saw such a "thrilling" scene, the girl couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly turned her body and said shyly, "I, I didn't see anything!"
Seeing the girl's cute appearance, Yuan Shuai laughed, and by the way, the girl and Xia Molei hugged the two of them, anyway, they are their future wives, Yuan Shuai doesn't care about the so-called real gentleman, hugging me left and right, kissing me, I am really envious of others~
Early the next morning, Yuan Shuai reported the news that Xia Molei told him about the ancient city of Loulan to Xuantong Zhenren and the elders, and it can be seen from their conversations with each other that the vast majority of people still agree with this speculation.
Xuantong Zhenren was silent for a long time, and then asked Yuan Shuai, "Yuan Shuai, how sure are you of this conjecture of yours?"
Yuan Shuai thought for a while and replied, "I am fifty percent sure that the dungeon they are talking about is near the ancient city of Loulan, because it is only one day's journey away from Jiuqu County, where the New One Sect is located. ”
Xuantong Zhenren nodded appreciatively, and finally everyone decided to send Yuan Shuai and Sun Yan to sneak into the counties near the ancient city of Loulan to inquire about the situation, if there was really news, then the old man and other Maoshan disciples would rush to support later.
Before leaving, Yuan Shuai 'handed over' the monster imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower, which was made up of countless children's broken souls, that is, the big guy in the Hu Feifei incident, to Xuantong Zhenren, asking him to look at the faces of those innocent children and eliminate the anger on the big man's body, so as to help him get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
After seeing that Xuantong Zhenren agreed, Yuan Shuai was relieved to take Sun Yan back to the rest garden, ready to pack up and go to the Xinjiang region in the northwest to look for clues, but what he didn't expect was that Xia Molei and the others had already packed everything and waited for Yuan Shuai and their departure.
Yuan Shuai asked them a little puzzled, "What are you?"
"Of course, the fool is going with you to the northwest Xinjiang region to find clues to the dungeon. ”
"Nonsense, you know that going to Xinjiang this time is not like coming to Maoshan to play, we are going to find the hiding place of the Nangong Apostle, if we really find it, it will inevitably be a vicious battle, how can I have the time to take care of you." Yuan Shuai said with some displeasure.
Of course, Xia Molei and the others understood that Yuan Shuai didn't want them to risk their lives and have any accidents, but she still insisted on asking Yuan Shuai to say, "Okay, let's just go with you to the vicinity of Xinjiang to find clues about the dungeon, as for the ancient city of Loulan in the desert, we don't want to involve it, besides, do you know the place in the ancient city of Loulan in Xinjiang, at least the teachers and students of our choreography and directing department have studied and studied there, so I will definitely be helpful to you." ”
Su Man also stepped forward and said to Yuan Shuai, "At that time, I can also be responsible for coordinating the local police station to assist you, so I must go with you." ”
"Brother Yuan, I'm your number one disciple, so wherever the master goes, he has to follow him as an apprentice~" The girl pulled Yuan Shuai's arm and said with a sly smile.
"I don't care, since you all have to go, I'm going to go with you, you won't disagree with Sun Yan, the big stupid bear!" Bai Jin's big eyes stared at Sun Yan who was at a loss, as if he was saying, "If you don't let Aunt Ben's 'milk' and 'milk' go, be careful to kneel on the washboard and work!"
"Uh, this....... I'm okay with that. "Yuan Shuai: I despise you!
"Why Yuan Datou, have you decided in the end, if you don't toast, don't eat, be careful of our sisters, but you're going to be 'tortured'!" Xia Molei said and made one
The action of "chasing life and snatching souls" immediately frightened Xiao Yuanzi and nodded...... Sun Yan: Khan, I despise you infinitely!
In desperation, I had to take a group of "aunts" and "milks" to leave Maoshan and go to Xinjiang in the northwest by car. The ancient city of Loulan is located in the north of Ruoqiang County, Bayingolin 'Meng' Ancient Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, west of Lop Nur, 7 kilometers south of the Peacock River, where the desert is recognized as the hell that even death in the world is afraid of, and Yuan Shuai and their first stop was to come to a town near the edge of the desert in Xinjiang, the name is translated as the end town.
"What an interesting name, is it named after this place that specializes in selling clocks and watches?" Bai Jin looked around curiously.
"It's not a clock town, which translates to be called the end town, as the name suggests, it means to stop moving forward and reach the end point, because if you go further, you will reach the endless desert, and the depths of the desert have always been forbidden places that are not allowed to approach. Xia Molei explained.
"Okay, anyway, let's rest for a while in this end town, and by the way, inquire about the news of the dungeon, as for the ancient city of Loulan in the desert, I think it must be led by professionals and sufficient supplies to enter. Saying that, Yuan Shuai led everyone towards the hotel in the end town, at this time Su Man suggested that she should go to the town's police station first to see if she could contact the local police to ask for some help, Yuan Shuai nodded, and by the way, he 'handed over' the gold card certified by the Ministry of State Security that Deng Chenkun 'handed over' to him, hoping to help her.
Led everyone to continue to walk towards the hotel, passing a local jewelry store, a group of women's army was immediately attracted by the local unique jewelry in front of them, let Yuan Shuai and Sun Yan talk about these aunts' 'milk' and 'milk' are immovable, it seems that they are planning to "shop" here.
In desperation, Yuan Shuai and the others had no choice but to follow Xia Molei and they entered this seemingly small but complete jewelry store.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged uncle who seems to be very 'shrewd', and he can see that Yuan Shuai's group of people has the right to decide these young ladies from the metropolis, so he is very eager to introduce the local 'fine' jewelry to Xia Molei and others. Yuan Shuai was extremely bored and had to wander around, but inadvertently saw a palm-sized 'jade' plate on a counter stacked with antique items, the 'jade' coiled into a circle with a 'fine' relief decoration engraved on it, and in the middle was a big bird with wings spread and 'wanting' to fly, and a large number of flame-like veins were engraved around it.
I don't know when the middle-aged uncle with a smile on his face came to Yuan Shuai's side again and introduced him: "Hehe, this gentleman, you really have a vision, this is the most collectible side of the store, the ancient 'jade' plate, look at this 'color', this feel is definitely a first-class ancient 'jade'." ”
"Boss, where did this thing come from?" asked Yuan Shuai with some curiosity.
As soon as he heard this, the middle-aged uncle immediately became alert to Yuan Shuai and said: "What are you asking for, I can tell you, oh, the antiques here are all 'obtained' through formal channels, and there is no 'smuggling' and reselling cultural relics at all." ”
I dizzy, Yuan Shuai just casually said a word that made the middle-aged uncle nervous and scared and almost spit out all the truth, seeing this, Yuan Shuai was even more convinced of his conjecture, he 'revealed' a harmless smile to the middle-aged uncle and said, "Haha, big brother, don't be so nervous, we are just tourists passing by here, but I think this thing is a good treasure for some years, and what is even more precious is that this "sweet potato" seems to have just "exposed" for a long time. ”
The middle-aged uncle was stunned for a moment and then smiled instantly, it turned out that Yuan Shuai said "sweet potato" and "'dew' head" are professional terms for tomb robbery, generally only veterans engaged in this industry can understand the code language, and Yuan Shuai is just from a customer who specializes in "door" antiques casually learned.
As soon as he saw that it was "his own person", the middle-aged uncle suddenly relaxed his previous vigilance, patted Yuan Shuai on the shoulder, and immediately called him brother, "My brother is really a real person, and he doesn't 'show' his face, it seems that he wants to buy a batch of 'goods' from here and drum it back to the metropolis~"
Yuan Shuai shrugged his shoulders and did not deny what the middle-aged uncle meant, he continued to ask: "Since everyone eats this bowl of rice, then don't hide it, let's talk about what the price of this ancient 'jade' plate is." ”
The middle-aged uncle smiled and stretched out his sleeve and started the "exchange in the sleeve" with Yuan Shuai, Sun Yan watched the "confused" and "confused" on the side, he couldn't understand why the two big men stood together in the sleeves and 'touched' each other, and the expression on their faces was always 'cloudy' and uncertain, could it be that there was a relationship between them? Yuan Shuai: Poof...... Haematemesis!
Ten minutes later, Yuan Shuai's face finally wore a smile of victory, and the middle-aged uncle was a little ashamed and gave Yuan Shuai a thumbs up and praised: "Sure enough, I'm an expert, I can't even get back the oil and water from this knife." ”
Yuan Shuai smiled, of course he knew that this was a middle-aged uncle deliberately pretending to be bitter, in fact, according to that price, the middle-aged uncle could basically close the store for half a year and not open to support himself, which is why the antique industry is not open for three years, and it is open for three years to earn money......
