Chapter 784: Intricate

With Meng Zitao's eyesight, it is certain that this must be a real Qianlong Treasure Seal, and the ability also gave a positive answer, in this case, what happened to the treasure seal that Sotheby's collected and auctioned?

With the current situation in the literary and artistic market, as well as various intricate factors, Sotheby's certainly has fakes flowing out of his auctions, but the probability of such a treasure seal is generally relatively low. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it is not that Sotheby's is not mistaken, according to relevant statistics, from 2006 to 2009, Qianlong's jade seal was auctioned more than 100 pieces, but in fact, only 3 real Qianlong jade seals flowed out. It can be seen from this that there is a proliferation of forged jade seals.

Meng Zitao shook his head secretly, anyway, he could be sure that the jade seal in his hand was genuine, and as for whether the one that Sotheby's had gathered was real or fake, he didn't bother to care.

"Ms. Ma, do you want to exchange this?"

"Yes, but it would be a loss for me to exchange the statue of Putuo, and I must add this bracelet and two million yuan. ”

This kind of change, Meng Zitao must have taken advantage, and he didn't want to be verbose, so he agreed directly: "This is no problem, but can you guarantee that your things are okay?"

"That's for sure. ”

"Alright, let's sign an agreement. Since Meng Zitao knows about Ma Xiaohui's situation, he must be on guard to avoid disputes in the future.

"Do you want to sign an agreement?" Ma Xiaohui frowned, looking unwilling.

Meng Zitao said kindly: "After all, this is a business of several millions, and the signing of the agreement is also for both parties to be responsible, you can also come to us if you have any questions in the future, everyone can rest assured." ”

Ma Xiaohui felt right, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.

After completing the transaction, Ma Xiaohui happily went home, and Meng Zitao explained a few words to Hu Yuanliang and Zhu Xinyue, and also went home to pack his luggage.

…………

With He Wanyi's advice, Meng Zitao got out of the train and came to Yingdu, and when he got out of the train station, he saw Chen Zhongfeng, who came to pick him up.

At this time, Chen Zhongfeng was in a state of low spirits, although it was night, the weather was not too cold, and he was still wearing thick clothes, which didn't look normal, and the people around him avoided him when they saw it.

Meng Zitao walked up, saw that his dark eyes were very serious, and asked, "Why did you do this?"

Chen Zhongfeng sneezed, and then said: "I have a cold, and now I have nightmares as long as I close my eyes, how can I sleep." ”

Meng Zitao gestured as he walked, and then asked about the specific situation.

"Actually, it's the same as what I said on the phone, before we were going to go down, we put a chicken in, and there was no problem with the chicken jumping around, we thought it was okay to go down, but I didn't expect that I would go down for a while, and something happened. ”

"You didn't arrange to look at the wind?" Meng Zitao asked.

"It's arranged, it's my person, it was originally him who went down to me to watch the wind, but I was a little curious, and after so many years of tracking, I also wanted to go down to find out, so I went down. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhongfeng sighed: "If I knew this, I wouldn't go down, the ancients said that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss in front of you, but people are like this, only if you suffer a loss will you have a long memory." I really regret it now, and I don't know when I will be able to stop having nightmares, and if I can't, I can only see a psychiatrist. ”

Meng Zitao said: "It's not me talking about you, you go to a psychiatrist, it's almost like waiting for death." ”

Chen Zhongfeng was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Zitao, what do you mean by this?"

Meng Zitao looked at him: "Do you think that the way you are now is caused by psychological problems?"

Chen Zhongfeng shuddered: "Could it be that he has fallen into an evil spirit?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "The evil should not be, it is likely to be because of the poison." ”

"Zitao, you should have a way to solve it, right?" Chen Zhongfeng grabbed Meng Zitao's arm as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"Don't worry, the reason why I came to Yingdu is to save you. Meng Zitao took out a yin-yang stone from his pocket and handed it to Chen Zhongfeng: "You take this and feel if there is any reaction." ”

Chen Zhongfeng took the Yin-Yang Stone in his hand, his expression suddenly changed, and he said with a comfortable face: "There is a cool feeling that rushes straight to the door of my head, I feel so comfortable!"

The effect of the Yin Yang Stone was very significant, and Meng Zitao noticed that Chen Zhongfeng's complexion was improving at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, but it would take a while for him to return to normal.

"You wear it close to your body for an hour or two, and it should be fine,"

"Just like this for a while?" Chen Zhongfeng was a little worried, and looked at the Yin-Yang Stone in his hand: "Zitao, what is this thing." ”

Meng Zitao said: "This thing is called Yin Yang Stone, which has the effect of preventing poison and driving away evil spirits. ”

"It's so good, why don't you sell it to me. Chen Zhongfeng grinned.

Meng Zitao rolled his eyes back: "Do your daydreaming, I only have such a piece in my hand, give it to you, what should I do myself? Besides, this thing is also of some use in the tomb, is it possible that you are still a thief?"

"I'm sure I won't go to the grave, but I can usually prevent it, hey, it's a pity. When Chen Zhongfeng heard this, his expression looked a little pity.

The two walked to the parking lot, because Chen Zhongfeng's body had not yet recovered, Meng Zitao drove to the booked hotel, came to his room, he put away his luggage, and diagnosed Chen Zhongfeng.

After taking the pulse, Meng Zitao said: "The situation is okay, but because of the poisoning, you need to go through a period of conditioning to return your body to normal, during this time, you can honestly take medicine and rest, don't wander around, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you of any sequelae." ”

Chen Zhongfeng nodded again and again: "Listen to you, I'm sorry for my life now." ”

Meng Zitao shook his head with a smile, and at this time, Chen Zhongfeng's mobile phone rang, and he saw that it was Zheng Zongxian's phone.

"Hello Brother Zheng...... How is this possible, except for me, I didn't tell those two Tufu beforehand, it is impossible to spread it......! Could it be Ah Wei, wait for me to call and ask. ”

After ending the call, Chen Zhongfeng hurriedly dialed a phone number, but it was turned off over there.

"Made, there must be something wrong with this kid!" Zheng Zongxian scolded angrily.

Meng Zitao asked curiously, "Has the news of that ancient tomb been revealed?"

"Yes, it must have been done by Zhu Qiwei's kid, and now the phone can't get through. Chen Zhongfeng flipped through his phone number: "I asked his friend if he had seen him today." ”

Chen Zhongfeng made several phone calls one after another, and said angrily: "That kid doesn't know where he ran now, and even his family doesn't know." ”

Meng Zitao said: "There is a problem here. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Since Zhu Qiwei was present, he should also know that those two Tufu fell into the ancient tomb, and everyone has the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil, why did he tell this matter to others? Let them die, or just to brag? If it is the latter, why did he run?"

Chen Zhongfeng agreed: "Yes, that is, he wants to send those people to death?"

"What's going on over there now?" Meng Zitao asked.

Brother Zheng didn't elaborate on the phone, but just said that a few people died around the ancient tomb. Chen Zhongfeng said.

"Did he say what to do next?" Meng Zitao asked again.

"Nope. ”

"I'll give him a call. ”

Meng Zitao called Zheng Zongxian, and the other party was immediately connected.

Zheng Zong first learned that Meng Zitao was already in Yingdu, so he told him about the situation.

It turned out that several of the dead people found did not die around the original entrance, but a newly dug robbery hole, and because of this, the cause of their death is not the same, depending on the situation, it may have been poisoned.

Hearing that he died of corpse poison, Meng Zitao couldn't help frowning, although in medicine, the name corpse poison could not be found, but according to research and speculation, corpse poison should be a combination of bacteria and mold, and it is an ultra-difficult virus to deal with.

This is because after death, people become a large bacterial culture medium, all kinds of bacteria multiply more, many epidemic viruses can survive in the corpse for a long time after death, such as plague can survive in the bones of the corpse for 60 years, anthrax has about 40 years, these viruses still have considerable activity.

It is obvious how powerful the synthesis of so many bacteria and viruses is, and those who come into contact with the decomposing corpses must be easily infected. In addition, the lethality rate of this virus is very high, especially when science is not developed, it is normal for people to falsely spread the infection of these bacteria and viruses as the mysterious corpse poison in the corpse.

"Then you didn't rush in, did you?"

"No, how dare we go in in this case, it's not that we don't want to die. We're staying here tonight and we're going to wait for the support to come. ”

"Then you have to be careful and try to stay as far away from the entrance as possible to avoid being affected. ”

"Yes. Zheng Zongxian said: "In addition, I also want to invite Chen Zhongfeng to come over, there are some things I want to know about him." ”

"Over now?"

"No, tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay, I'll tell him. ”

Meng Zitao put away his mobile phone and told Chen Zhongfeng about it, and Chen Zhongfeng agreed: "Okay, do you want to go?"

"Okay, let's go tomorrow. ”

Meng Zitao was also very curious about this ancient tomb, although he promised He Wanyi not to go to the tomb before he came, but he also wanted to see it, besides, now he just went to see it and didn't go down, and he didn't miss the appointment.

The next day, Meng Zitao and Chen Zhongfeng had breakfast and set off for the location of the ancient tomb, the location of the ancient tomb is a little far, belonging to the junction of Yingdu and the next city, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, but at the same time the road is also a little difficult to walk.

Under Chen Zhongfeng's guidance, Meng Zitao parked the car in one place, and the rest of the journey had to rely on his feet.

After a long journey of more than an hour, the two of them were finally about to reach the location of the ancient tomb.

There is a river near the ancient tomb, this river is not deep, but the weeds on both sides of the river are overgrown, quite dense, but the weeds are not high, only reach the knee position, but the grass is next to each other, you can't see the edge at a glance, if there is no detailed clue, just want to find the entrance to the tomb in it, ordinary people will have a feeling of looking for a needle in a haystack.

After walking for a while, Mencius saw from a distance a large number of men and horses were busy green, and it seemed that the people who should have supported had arrived, most of them were setting up tents, and the rest were pointing around, or using tools to probe, probably surveying the terrain.

Meng Zitao took Chen Zhongfeng and walked over, and soon a security guard came to stop them, Meng Zitao took out his work ID, and said that he had made an appointment with Zheng Zongxian in advance, and the security guard called Zheng Zongxian to confirm that he was released.

The two of them walked over and soon saw Zheng Zongxian, and in addition, to Meng Zitao's surprise, his second senior brother Lu Wenle was actually here.

Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, and Meng Zitao asked, "Senior brother, why are you here!"

Lu Wenle said with a smile: "I was originally in Yingdu archaeology, and when I heard about this incident, I took the initiative to ask to come over." ”

"But it's dangerous here!"

"I'll definitely be aware of the danger before we investigate it. ”

As he was talking, he saw a woman of twenty-three or four coming over and saying to Lu Wenle, "Teacher, my task over there is complete." ”

Lu Wenle asked, "Oh, what's the situation?"

Lu Wenle and the woman were talking about some archaeological terms, Meng Zitao could still understand some of them, and Chen Zhongfeng next to him was simply the second monk who was confused.

Halfway through, before the woman could finish speaking, another slightly older young man came over and joined in the discussion.

Looking at the posture of these people, it is estimated that the discussion will not be finished for a while and a half, so Meng Zitao asked Zheng Zong to take him to see the robbery cave first.

After a while, several people arrived at the entrance of a cave.

The entrance to the cave is only one meter in diameter, just enough for an adult to go down, there are traces of human treatment around the hole, and two iron stakes are erected at the edge of the hole to fix a bundle of climbing ropes all the way into the hole. The rope is made of excellent material, not only is it lightweight, but it is also extremely strong and tough.

Meng Zitao asked while observing, "Can we all buy such climbing ropes?"

"It's hard to buy, and it's not right away. Zheng Zong replied first.

Meng Zitao said: "It seems that the person who went down the cave should be a professional." ”

Zheng Zongxian nodded and said, "It should be a group of professional tomb robbers." ”

When Chen Zhongfeng heard this, he muttered: "This is not right, I haven't heard of it before, what does Zhu Qiwei have to do with tomb robbers, let alone that he has a grudge against a gang of tomb robbers!"

"After all, this kind of thing is disgraceful, and it is normal for him to deliberately hide it. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zitao suddenly made a discovery: "It seems that something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Zheng Zongxian hurriedly asked.

Meng Zitao pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "You see that these footprints are very messy. ”

Chen Zhongfeng said: "Didn't they escape from the corpse poison, it's normal for the footprints to be messy!"

"No, it's really a little abnormal!" Zheng Zongxian also frowned and said.
