Chapter 720: Tomb Robbers
When the guest and host sat down, Tang Zheng couldn't wait to take out the photo and asked, "Old Wei, is this thing still with you?"
Lao Wei immediately said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Of course, Tang Shao favored this similar thing so much at the beginning, so I paid attention to it, and this time there happened to be a seller selling this thing, so I bought it directly." ”
As he spoke, he took out a bronze mask directly from a wooden box.
Tang Zheng took the mask, and his heart was overjoyed, this was indeed what he was looking for, there was a flow of spiritual power like an air flow on it, and when his hand touched the mask, these spiritual powers quickly integrated into his body and turned into true qi.
Looking at Tang Zheng's surprised appearance, the stone in Lao Wei's heart finally landed.
Those who do antique business will make friends with three religions and nine streams, of course, there is also trouble, if there is such a strong help as Tang Zheng, then there will be a lot less trouble in the future, and there will be more protection.
That's why Lao Wei spent so much effort to make friends with Tang Zheng.
"Tang Zheng, how's that?" Professor Qi asked curiously.
Tang Zheng raised his head suddenly, handed the mask to Lao Wei, and nodded, "That's it." ”
Professor Qi smiled knowingly and said, "I'll just say that my vision is right." ”
"I didn't recognize it at first glance, or it would have slipped out under my nose. Lao Wei said as if he was invited.
Professor Qi said: "This time, if you have vision, it's okay." We have more important things to do this time. ”
Lao Wei smiled mysteriously, blinked, and said, "I had already guessed that you would definitely come to me." ”
"Oh. Professor Qi raised his eyebrows, "Are you still predicting it?" Then tell me what we came to you for?"
Lao Wei's fingers tapped a few times on the bronze mask, and he smiled mysteriously, "Are you here to ask about the origin of these things?"
"Don't you know?" Professor Qi asked rhetorically.
"Haha, is there anything I don't know about the antiques industry in the capital?" Lao Wei boasted.
"So you know, so why did I ask you last time, but you perfunctorily said you didn't know. Professor Qi asked with a blew beard and glared.
Lao Wei shook his finger and said, "Look, I don't know about your fiery temper, if I sued you at that time, it might not be a good thing for you." Now that Tang Shao is back, it's another matter. ”
Professor Qi frowned and said, "What kind of medicine is you selling in your gourd?"
Seeing that Tang Zheng was also listening attentively, Lao Wei didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, coughed lightly, and said, "Listen, the sellers of these things are not good men and women, they are tomb robbers." ”
"Tomb robbers?" Tang Zheng and Professor Qi exclaimed in unison, as serious archaeologists, they hate tomb robbers very much, these people for the sake of profit, wanton destruction of ancient tombs, damage cultural relics, many of the ancient tombs stolen by them, a mess, many precious cultural relics have been destroyed, this is the most pity for archaeologists.
Moreover, tomb robbers often resell cultural relics overseas for profit, which is outrageous.
When he landed, Professor Qi was furious and said, "Then why didn't you call the police and arrest these people?"
Lao Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Lao Qi, I run an antique shop, unlike you who are a professor in the Department of Archaeology, it is possible for us to deal with these people in this industry, if we call the police, then how can I mix in this industry in the future? Every line has rules for each line, people in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves." ”
Professor Qi was stunned when he heard this, and he also knew that his words were too bookish, and as an authority in the archaeological field, he understood the twists and turns in it, and knew that what Lao Wei said was true.
"Besides, these tomb robbers are all doing the work of licking blood with knives, if they know that I called the police, I'm afraid that in the end, my old life will be handed over to them. Lao Wei added.
Professor Qi's old face turned red and said, "Old Wei, it's me who didn't think it through, don't be surprised." As an old friend for decades, of course he didn't want Lao Wei to put himself in danger and have any accidents.
"Don't I know you yet?" Lao Wei waved his hand disappreciatively, and his gaze turned to Tang Zheng, "Tang Shao is different, I told Tang Shao the news of this group of tomb robbers, he must have a way to deal with them." ”
Tang Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "Old Wei is very thoughtful, it's just a group of tomb robbers, of course I have a way." ”
Lao Wei stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, there are a lot of tomb robbers in this group, I sent people to follow them for a while, they are all active in the capital, but, according to observation, they are preparing for the next operation, and I heard that they are going to rob a very large ancient tomb." ”
"That can't get them out of Beijing, they have to be caught immediately and interrogated where these things came from. Tang Zheng couldn't wait.
Professor Qi also nodded busily: "Yes, they must not be allowed to harm the next ancient tomb." ”
Seeing that the two of them couldn't wait and were filled with righteous indignation, Lao Wei hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, things are not as simple as you think, if you want to know the origin of these things, then don't act recklessly." I have already found out clearly, the ancient tomb they went to rob this time is the same as the last time, these things were stolen from that ancient tomb, but the last time the preparation was not sufficient, only a little loot was taken out, this time they are ready to do a big job, so they purchased equipment and materials on a large scale, and they were well prepared. ”
Tang Zheng and Professor Qi glanced at each other and were overjoyed, so that they could trace back to the source.
As long as they find that ancient tomb, they may have the answer they have always wanted.
Tang Zheng became excited, if he could really crack many secrets of the ancient period, or the secrets of Skywalker, it would be extremely important to him, even more important than a few levels of cultivation.
Professor Qi rubbed his hands and said, "Then you mean that we are going to follow them all the way, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind?"
Lao Wei nodded: "Of course!"
"Then tell us the address, and we'll track down this group of hateful grave robbers. ”
"Lao Qi, don't be so anxious, if you are in such a hurry and startle the snake, it will be more than worth the loss. Lao Wei hurriedly persuaded, "This group of people hasn't left the capital so soon, and they are still preparing." When they were about to leave, I informed Tang Shao that he could go and follow. ”
"I'm going too!" Professor Qi volunteered.
Lao Wei frowned, and said: "Old Qi, you are not a young man anymore, you will definitely not live very peacefully with this group of tomb robbers, are you okay with this body? It is not good to cause trouble to Tang Shao." ”
"No, I have to go. Professor Qi insisted that the temptation this time was too great for Professor Qi to resist.
Looking at his persistent eyes, Tang Zheng's heart moved, and said, "It's okay, I will take care of you then." ”
Professor Qi helped him so much, how could Tang Zheng leave him alone, even if it was a little more burden, he didn't care.
In fact, Tang Zheng had another thought in his heart, it was better to knock directly on the door and force them to tell the whereabouts of the ancient tomb, but then I thought about it, these tomb robbers and accomplices must put a long line, catch big fish, and catch them all, and there can be no fish that slip through the net, otherwise it will be a big disaster to the archaeological community.
Seeing Tang Zheng agree, Professor Qi was overjoyed, and excitedly shook Tang Zheng's hand.
Lao Wei shook his head helplessly, but he could only agree.
"By the way, the painting was also taken out for Tang Zheng to see. Professor Qi urged.
Lao Wei took out another painting, this painting was already a little damaged, Tang Zheng glanced at it, there was no spiritual power flowing, but seeing the picture on it with his own eyes, he still felt deeply shocked, the towering palace and the huge altar, as well as the mysterious sacrificial ceremony were all full of mystery.
"This painting has no spiritual power, and it seems that not everything in the tomb contains spiritual power. Tang Zheng came to a conclusion, he was not disappointed, but felt extremely normal, if anything contained spiritual power, what a huge amount, I couldn't imagine it.
chatted for a while, then said goodbye and left, going back to wait for news from Lao Wei.
Anyway, there were still a few days before departure, Tang Zheng simply didn't go back to the dormitory, and decided to use this time to calm down and practice.
What is the best place to practice in Beijing?
Imperial City, of course!
Moreover, his dragon god technique has also broken through, and he has gained a lot in Langya Pavilion, and he happens to communicate more with the five-clawed golden dragon.
The Imperial City at night is exceptionally peaceful, without the hustle and bustle of tourists during the day, like a sleeping lion.
He went down to the bottom of the imperial city with a familiar car, and saw the five-clawed golden dragon, but he was complained by the five-clawed golden dragon for a while.
Because, he didn't bring Xiaobai here, and the five-clawed golden dragon seems to have established a deep friendship with Xiaobai, although the five-clawed golden dragon still hasn't figured out Xiaobai's origin.
However, the attention of the five-clawed golden dragon was attracted by Tang Zheng's cultivation, and in just a few days, Tang Zheng was promoted several levels in a row, and more importantly, the dragon god trick actually reached the third level.
The five-clawed golden dragon's huge eyes were visibly wider, and although it had expected it, it was still shocked by the rocket-like speed.
He babbled and excitedly said that the time for him to see the light of day again was not far off.
After a while, Tang Zheng talked about what he had seen and heard in the island country this time, and when he mentioned the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, the eyes of the five-clawed golden dragon immediately burst out with a fine light, and exclaimed, "Have you seen the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes?"
Seeing his big reaction, Tang Zheng was quite curious and asked, "Yes, isn't it said that the Eight Miscellaneous Snake almost turned into a nine-clawed golden dragon back then, is it more powerful than you?"
The five-clawed golden dragon nodded and said: "Of course it is more powerful than me, this incident has caused a lot of sensation in the dragon clan, a big snake that kills so much, if it is incarnated as a dragon, it is the biggest irony and insult to the dragon clan." ”
"But wasn't he ruined by a mysterious man in the end? Tang Zheng quipped.
The five-clawed golden dragon nodded solemnly: "Yes, but do you know who this person is?"
Tang Zheng was stunned when he heard this, he wanted to know the identity of this person when he heard about it, this person was undoubtedly a big hero.
