City villas on the shores of the lake.

A girl stood beside a rose bush, pouting at a freshly opened red rose, while a boy stood apologetically.

"It's been seven or eight days, and a message has been sent!"

The girl said angrily, with complaints, as if the other party had not been thinking about the girl for a long time.

"Xiaoyan, I'm sorry, I was careless and forgot to send you a message. I'll start texting you as soon as you're out of sight, okay?"

The boy apologized and coaxed.

"I don't want you to message all the time? I mean, you're in so much danger that you don't even send me a message. The girl said again.

"I'm not afraid you're worried. Hehe. Thank you for caring about me. ”

"I'm too lazy to care about you......"

At this time, outside the balcony on the second floor of a nearby villa, an old man shouted to the two: "Xiaofeng, Xiaoyan, it's time to eat." ”

Chen Xiaoyan turned around and walked towards the villa: "Grandpa has called for dinner, go back." ”

"Well, okay. Zhuo Feng stepped forward and took two steps, parallel to the girl, and saw the girl's hands swinging back and forth, so he stretched out his right hand to hold Chen Xiaoyan's left hand.

Chen Xiaoyan didn't refuse, just turned her head and pouted at Zhuo Feng.

"Next time, no matter where you go, save at least five messages in an hour. Zhuo Feng said.

"I'm too lazy to care about you. ”

Back at the table in the hall on the first floor of the villa, the maid aunt had already arranged the dishes neatly.

Chen Yucai poured Zhuo Feng a glass of white wine and drank half a glass himself.

"Xiaofeng, I didn't expect you to gain a lot from this trip. Come, drink and talk. Chen Yucai raised his glass.

"Thank you, grandpa. Zhuo Feng said.

"I also saw the wood you brought back just now, it is indeed a high-grade ancient sunken wood, which is rare and valuable. Now it is more difficult to see such a piece of original wood that has not been carved and polished than to climb to the sky. Such a piece of primitive wood is a different treasure in the hands of different people. ”

Chen Yucai took a sip of wine and continued: "In addition to carving and playing with dignitaries and scholars, Gu Shenmu also has another special function, and this function is rarely known in the world today. ”

"That was what we saw on an ancient stone tablet thirty years ago when we were doing a salvage excavation of an ancient tomb at a site in the northwest desert. When I went there as an expert consultant, the tomb was eroded by yellow sand, and most of the tomb walls were buried with yellow sand, so the archaeological excavation work was very heavy.

"After a week of rescue excavation, everyone was exhausted. At that time, supplies were also scarce, and there was a huge shortage of drinking water. Therefore, the leader in charge of this archaeological excavation arranged for us old people to scatter first, leaving only some young people who were able to continue to clean up the yellow sand and excavate the ancient tombs.

"I remember that at that time, when we were about to get in the car and go back, a staff member who was cleaning yellow sand in the corner yelled that the shovel had hit a stone. After taking pictures and recording them, we brought the stone back with us. Later, after research, it was found that the text on this stele was an ancient script. ”

Chen Yucai took another sip of wine, ate some food, and continued.

"We compared the ancient Xiongnu script and the modern Uyghur script, and finally reluctantly translated the words on the stone tablet. The text actually mentions a mysterious ancient witchcraft, placing the ancient sunken wood and the dragon vine unique to the ancient tomb in the northwest together, so that the dragon vine can take root and sprout in the human world after enlightenment. According to the mind of the sorcerer, it will be possible to determine whether this dragon vine is evil. And in addition to the fact that this dragon vine is a tomb scavenger, it also has another function, that is, it has a strong attraction to similar plants, which means that as long as you hold this live dragon vine, you have a great chance of finding some other dragon vines in the ancient tomb. ”

"Mysterious Ancient Witchcraft?Enlightenment?Kind of Attraction?" Zhuo Feng was a little surprised.

I didn't expect that my special ability was linked to mysterious ancient witchcraft.

Chen Yucai looked at Zhuo Feng: "The video you sent back of the resurrection of the dragon vine is that the dragon vine has been enlightened." ”

After a pause, he said, "When I first saw the video, I realized that it might be your special ability, Xiaofeng, how did you do it?"

"Oh, grandpa. At first, I didn't know that I was able to resurrect the dragon vine spirit. I didn't know about it until I came into contact with it. That night, after collecting the essence absorbed around the dragon vine, I returned to the hotel and tried many methods, and finally found that I could use the medium as a carrier to carry the essence and re-attach the essence to the dead and enlighten the spirit, but it does not mean that this method is suitable for all antiquities. ”

Zhuo Feng told Chen Yucai how to resurrect the dragon vine.

"I see. Chen Yucai nodded, and asked again: "After you came back, you only showed us the ancient sunken wood, but you never saw the dragon vine, and you never mentioned it, what happened in Nanhe City, or is there something unspeakable?"

"There's something hard to say here. First of all, out of my own selfishness, I wanted to sell the restaurant I bought at a high price, and then the reason that the director of the Nanhe City Museum said was unquestionable, so I agreed to lend them this dragon vine for research first. ”

"What is his name?" asked Chen Yucai.

He called himself Jiao Yaohou, said that he was the current curator, and had relevant documents, but there were no investigation procedures. Zhuo Feng said.

"Jiao Yaohou, Jiao Yaohou, is it that lean old man with obvious facial features?"

"His eyes are deeply sunken, very godly, the kind that can leave a deep impression on people after seeing it once. Zhuo Feng replied after thinking back to Jiao Yaohou's appearance at that time.

"That's him! But he shouldn't be the director of the Nanhe City Museum. He has nothing to do with this museum. Chen Yucai put down his chopsticks and said cautiously.

"Ahh Zhuo Feng was completely confused by what Chen Yucai said.

At that time, there was nothing wrong with the documents presented by Jiao Yaohou and the documents of Hu Songquan and the others who followed behind. It's just that when they were arguing with Liu Sheng, they lacked documents from the local police station to assist in the investigation.

Is that the problem?

"Grandpa, who is this Jiao Yaohou?" Chen Xiaoyan, who had been listening for a long time, was also a little inexplicable.

"I don't know exactly what this person is, but I know one thing for sure. He was interested in the ancient tombs in the desert northwest of our country. I remember that five years ago, at a cultural relics exchange meeting in the capital, I mentioned this dragon vine plant in an ancient tomb in the northwest desert, and after the meeting, he grabbed me and asked me about the dragon vine. It was an exchange meeting, and I talked with him for two hours based on the principle of mutual communication, so I was very impressed with this person. ”

Chen Yucai recalled, "However, at that time, he was not the director of the museum, but the head of some cultural relics discovery and protection organization." At that time, there were a lot of people, and I was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and I couldn't ask him specifically what kind of organization it was. ”

"Does that mean I've been deceived?" Zhuo Feng said.

"You don't know the situation, you just look at other people's documents and lend antiquities to each other, alas, your brain is not saved. Chen Xiaoyan said casually, so that Zhuo Feng didn't know whether this was blame or concern.

"Looks like you're going to have to go to Nanhe City again. After eating, I set off immediately. I will call your dad directly and ask him to transfer two good cars over, and it is more convenient for you to drive there by yourself. ”

Chen Yucai put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up his mobile phone and called his son Chen Tao, and asked him to help arrange two good cars to drive over.

"Miss Ben is going to bask in the sun with you again. Chen Xiaoyan said.

"Willing to serve beautiful women. ”

After the meal, Zhuo Feng called Liu Sheng.

"Liu Sheng, have you returned to the county seat?"

"No, I just picked up Hu Xinyi to finish eating. What's wrong, what's the matter?" Liu Sheng asked on the other end of the phone.

"Didn't you say that it would take half a month for your girlfriend to go to the literary competition? Why did she come back five or six days early?"

"Well, don't talk about it. The art troupe of the county unit was not fully organized and was eliminated. What's the matter? We've only been apart for less than two hours. ”

Zhuo Feng said: "Let's see if you can let your girlfriend go back to the county by herself, we will have to go to Nanhe City again soon." ”

"Ahh

"It's not clear on the phone, it just so happens that your luggage is still there, you don't need to pack it, you can go directly." ”

hung up the phone and looked at Chen Xiaoyan: "There may be some trouble this time, I want Hanwa to join in, how about it?"

"There's no problem with this, I'll call the group's security department right now to arrange it. ”

Twenty minutes later, Hanwa arrived with her bags, Liu Sheng followed behind, and there was a beautiful woman.

"Huh, the beauty Hu Xinyi is also here, it's great. I just wanted to go with a group of you guys, how boring it is, and now I have a beautiful woman to accompany me. ”

Chen Xiaoyan clapped her hands happily, and stepped forward with a smile to pick up Hu Xinyi and help her drag her suitcase.

"Why is your girlfriend here too?" Zhuo Feng stepped forward and asked Liu Sheng in a low voice.

"Isn't it eliminated, I feel uncomfortable, I just heard that we are going to Nanhe City again, so I clamored to follow, saying that I was going out to relax. Liu Sheng said.

"What's this to relax?"

"What the hell is going on?" asked Liu Sheng.

Zhuo Feng said: "When the car comes, there is a lot of time, and it is said on the road, which also makes everyone have a bottom in their hearts." ”

"The car will arrive soon, I just counted the number of people, if two cars go, there are not many people who can drive, and it is inconvenient to take turns driving and resting. A car, we can take care of each other, and we can just ride. ”

As soon as Chen Xiaoyan finished speaking, a brand-new luxury version of the Audi Q8 SUV appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone put the luggage in the trunk, Liu Sheng opened the door of the main cab, sat on the leather seat, and stroked the steering wheel with both hands.

"It's still Chen Da Meinu who has the ability to drive such a luxurious car. ”

Zhuo Feng put the prepared items on the back seat and poked Liu Sheng's head with his hand.

"Your girlfriend is still on the sidelines. ”

Liu Sheng hurriedly raised his hand and waved, signaling that he had said more, and hurriedly got out of the car to take Hu Xinyi's backpack to the car.

After packing up, Liu Sheng fastened his seat belt, pressed the key to start the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from the villa area in less than a minute.

"Amazing. The feeling of a good car is different. Liu Sheng said happily as he drove the car.

"Look at you, next time you drive your own car and get to me, say that again. Hu Xinyi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, teased Liu Shengdao, and peeled an apple, cut off a piece and fed it to Liu Sheng's mouth.

"Just say this to you, I, Liu Sheng, must buy a good car to take you for a ride. Liu Sheng is still excited.

"Liu Sheng, concentrate on driving and pay attention to safe driving. Zhuo Feng saw that the two of them were arguing again, and sprinkled dog food.

Chen Xiaoyan on the side glanced at Zhuo Feng and smiled.
