Chapter 373: Crystal Skull
Zheng Zheng asked, "Treasure hunt ...... So what's the general direction of this treasure hunt? There's no treasure to find in Australia, right? What is the goal? What do you need to find?"
Now that he has decided to participate in this event, Zheng Zheng must know more about what he is going to do, and he must know what the other party is going to do. If it is said that it is something that has gone too far, Zheng Zheng will never participate. Although it is important to find the inheritance of the Zheng family, his own safety is the first priority, and Zheng Zheng does not want to risk his own safety.
As for the Liang family's decision to let them participate in this event, Zheng Zheng didn't feel that the other party's decision had much kindness. If it is a foolproof thing, why should the Liang family arrange for a family member to go in, but also bring an outsider in? If the other party's mind is tried out with malice, Zheng Zheng's role is likely to be the scapegoat used by the Liang family as a backing - if this matter is not so legitimate, then once something happens, the Liang family, who knows Zheng Zheng's details, can unite with others to put all the charges on Zheng Zheng's head and make him responsible for this matter. Zheng Zheng, who has no power in the local area and has nothing to do with it, is the most suitable to be used as a scapegoat.
However, this is just a guess by Zheng Zheng about the Liang family's thoughts, and it can't be true. Taking a step back, even if the Liang family really had this plan, it was not so easy for Zheng Zheng, who had already thought of this possibility, to be cheated like this.
It can't be said that Zheng Zheng is suspicious and suspicious, but he is cautious by nature, and in this situation, he has to make a prediction of everything that may happen, so as not to catch him off guard when things really happen.
"It's true that the event wasn't in Australia. Liang Wenyan nodded and said, "The destination of this event is South America, and I can't disclose the specific location to you yet." As for the goal...... is to find a crystal skull. ”
"Crystal skull?" Zheng Zheng's eyebrows furrowed, this word was a bit unfamiliar, Zheng Zheng didn't know anything about this thing.
Liang Wenyan nodded and said, "Yes, Crystal Skull...... How much does Mr. Cheng know about this?"
Zheng Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know anything about it...... So, this event shouldn't be my business, right?"
Zheng Zheng's specialty lies in antiques, or more precisely, Chinese antiques. As for the crystal skull, it was obviously beyond Zheng Zheng's professional scope, and he couldn't help in this matter at all.
This is indeed a good opportunity to exchange the right to use the Liang family's inheritance, but thinking about his own ability, Zheng Zheng can only lose this opportunity.
"No ......"
As if he was afraid that Zheng Zheng would think so, Liang Wenyan hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zheng can provide help that no one else can do, whether he has this knowledge is one thing, and whether he has eyesight is another." Although Mr. Zheng does not know much about these things, Mr. Zheng has an eye-catcher, and I believe that as long as you give Mr. Zheng a little time, you are fully qualified for this job. ”
Zheng Zheng touched his nose and didn't speak, but secretly said in his heart that Liang Wenyan is really confident in himself, and he is really not afraid that he will mess up this matter? But since Liang Wenyan said this, Zheng Zheng can't shrink back anymore, so he can only continue. Even if something goes wrong in the future, the two will have today's conversation, and Zheng Zheng will not be blamed.
After a pause, Liang Wenyan continued: "Regarding the detailed information about the crystal skull, I can have someone sort it out later and send it to Mr. Zheng, so that Mr. Zheng can have a ...... As for now, if Mr. Zheng doesn't find it troublesome, I can give Mr. Zheng some explanations first. ”
Zheng Zheng is also willing to hear that this name sounds like a very lofty thing, what kind of origin it is, and what kind of value it is. Liang Wenyan was willing to say that Zheng Zheng would not stop him. He nodded, and made a deferential gesture.
After sorting out his thoughts, Liang Wenyan said: "Speaking of crystal skulls, this thing is indeed a bit embarrassing, because in the current archaeological history, no crystal skulls with an ideal image have been found. The crystal skulls found so far are all small skulls used as beads or amulets, which are completely different from the crystal skulls in the ideal standard. ”
Zheng Zheng couldn't understand what he said, he frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand it very well...... What is an ideal crystal skull? This kind of thing...... Shouldn't it be that something comes up first, and then a name or concept is used to name that kind of thing?"
Zheng Zheng said this very clearly, in the antique shop, there is always something first and then there is a name, and there is no such thing as a name and then something. For example, if an unearthly antique is unearthed that has never been seen before and has not appeared in the literature, then someone will give it a name, and if there is something of the same kind in the future, it will be called by that name, and then modified according to the slight differences of each.
For example, who knows what it was called at that time? The reason why it was so named is also because there are three words on the inner wall of the belly of the tripod, which is called "Houmu Wu".
What Liang Wenyan said is a common sense mistake, that is, not respecting the discovery of facts and creating concepts. If you want to define the crystal skull, it must be to take the crystal skull that was first excavated or handed down as a model to see, the first one named "crystal skull" is what it looks like, and then the same type found later is the crystal skull, not the same type then divide it separately, there is no "ideal image" of the statement.
But would Liang Wenyan make such a common-sense mistake? Zheng Zheng felt that the possibility was too small. Therefore, Liang Wenyan's words are not clear, and Zheng Zheng feels that there must be something that has not been explained thoroughly.
"That's ......"
Liang Wenyan nodded and explained, "It's a bit general that I said...... The crystal skull we are looking for is not the one found now, but the kind that has never been genuine, but only exists in legends. The crystal skull was made by the Mayans, and was similar in size to a real human skull, with a realistic style, and the crystal skull found today has a completely different meaning. Although there have been crystal skulls claiming to be relics of the Mayans, they are only imitations made by later generations based on legends and related records. ”
When Liang Wenyan said this, Zheng Zheng also understood. However, after hearing this, Zheng Zheng didn't understand the meaning of this trip: "Then according to what you said, we are looking for a legendary thing, as for whether this thing really exists or is limited to legends, we don't know?"
"There's some news about the Crystal Skull...... But if you say that, you're not wrong. ”
As he spoke, Liang Wenyan looked at Zheng Zheng, who frowned slightly, and explained: "The matter has come to this, I can also tell you directly." This activity was not initiated by the Liang family, but someone entrusted the Liang family and others to find this thing. Although this commission is a bit unrealistic, it is not easy to shirk, so I can only do my best. ”
Zheng Zheng's heart suddenly understood. Businessmen always have to deal with people from all walks of life, and it is inevitable that some high-ranking people are quite obsessed with legends and the like, and they have to find legendary things with great difficulty. The person who entrusted the Liang family to do this was obviously a figure that the Liang family could not afford to offend, so the Liang family pinched their noses and responded to this matter, and even took out the inheritance of the family to find the legendary crystal skull for the client.
Even if it is a matter of pinching his nose and coming down, then whether this thing can be done or not is two words, as long as the Liang family does the posture in place so that others can't find anything wrong, even if they can't find this crystal skull that is not likely to be found in the first place, then the client has nothing to say.
After thinking about it like this, Zheng Zheng understood why Liang Wenyan was so "confident" in himself: it doesn't matter how much ability he has, as long as he can hold up the scene, then Zheng Zheng can be regarded as playing his role.
And as the price of winning the trust, the Liang family can only use the family inheritance. If you can find it, it's naturally the best, if you can't find it, then the Liang family has used all the skills to press the bottom of the box, and you can't blame the Liang family for doing things badly, right?
Zheng Zheng understands this kind of thing in his heart, but there is no need to point out this matter, otherwise Liang Wenyan's face will not look good, right?
Zheng Zheng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will do my best......"
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Zheng glanced at Liang Wenyan meaningfully, and the words were not finished, but the meaning was already clear.
Liang Wenyan is also a seven-trick heart, seeing Zheng Zheng's eyes, how can he not understand what Zheng Zheng is referring to, he immediately said: "I can assure Mr. Zheng that no matter what the outcome of this matter is, as long as this matter is over, the Liang family will naturally use the family inheritance to assist Mr. Zheng and find the antique that Mr. Zheng is looking for." ”
Zheng Zheng nodded and smiled: "With Mr. Liang's words here, I naturally trust Mr. Liang." ”
Liang Wenyan nodded, stretched out his hand to Zheng Zheng, and said with a smile: "I wish you a happy cooperation." ”
Zheng Zheng smiled and shook hands with Liang Wenyan, Liang Wenyan's hand was quite strong, almost making Zheng Zheng almost think that Liang Wenyan was deliberately exerting force. However, after thinking about it, it can be understood that the two of them are not secretly vindictive, and it is impossible to demonstrate by shaking hands vigorously, it should be Liang Wenyan who talked about this matter, and he was a little excited and unconsciously used more force on his hand.
After telling Liang Wenyan which hotel he was staying in, the two left the restaurant, and Liang Wenyan went to prepare the information that Zheng Zheng needed.
This thing was done quite efficiently, and before nine o'clock in the evening, someone sent Zheng Zheng information about the crystal skull.
Although he knew that his task was almost to go through the motions to fill the number of people, but being idle was also idle, Zheng Zheng flipped through these materials.
