Tan Hanchuan had already "sent" Zhu Youquan back, and Xian Hao also heard the content of Zhu Youquan's confession from him, and came to another conclusion.

Zhu Youquan said a lot of things just now, but Zhu Shanxian deliberately told Ding Qi about the Gu family in detail, just because it involved clues about the beast country outside the world. So does Zhang Wangxiong also know what the inside story is, and he is also looking for the outside world, otherwise why would he get those two things through Fan Yangfei's hands and feet?

Tan Hanchuan sat down and said: "Teacher Ding was already looking for the outside world before he discovered the "Fangwai Tuzhi", but at that time he didn't know what kind of place he was looking for, and he got clues from the ancient books and speculated that maybe the legendary Da Chi Mountain and Xiaojing Lake were speculated.

Fan Yang was also looking for Xiaojinghu, he had long heard that Chishan Temple had collected a "Fangwai Tuzhi", and used Teacher Ding to find it. The gateway to Xiaojing Lake is in the backyard of Senior Brother Zhu's house, and Senior Brother Zhu has also been looking for many years, all of which happened before Ah Quan restored the "Fang Wai Tuzhi".

A few hundred years ago, Senior Brother Zhu's ancestors passed on by word of mouth that there was a small realm lake in the world of Fangwai Immortal Family here, and Zhu Jingyi's name was also mentioned, but later generations did not find it.

This shows that we are not the only ones in the world who know the existence of the outer world and are looking for the outer world. Let's not talk about it from afar, let's just talk about Wei Fanchao and Wei Fanting, the brothers and sisters, they live in the Great Red Mountain, and Wei Fanchao often comes out. For them, the existence of the outer world is not a secret, it seems to be a matter of course. ”

Xian Hao interjected: "Since ancient times, there have been many legends of the so-called immortal blessed land and cave world. ”

Tan Hanchuan: "We now know that the legend is not unfounded, because we have witnessed so many foreign worlds. , then Zhang Wangxiong may also know the relevant clues, and he is also looking for them, just like Fan Yang at the beginning. ”

Xian Hao: "Before I was called by Fan Yang, I didn't know about the existence of the outside world, even if I heard some legends, I just regarded them as legends, and I didn't care at all."

If you don't cultivate the secret method outside the square, in fact, even if you know it, it's useless. The gateway to Xiaojing Lake is in his backyard, has Senior Brother Zhu found it all these years and entered it?"

Tan Hanchuan asked rhetorically: "You can't just say that Senior Brother Zhu is in this situation, so has Wei Fanchao cultivated the secret method outside the square?"

Xian Hao: "If you don't practice the secret method outside the Fang, and want to enter and exit the outside world, there is only one way to know at present, which is to obtain the treasure of the realm of control, and master the method of sacrifice and refinement, especially the inheritance of the treasure of the realm of control." ”

Tan Hanchuan: "So we have an advantage, even if we don't have the treasure of controlling the world, we can enter and exit the outside world, provided that we can find and open the portal." The secret method was created by Teacher Ding, and his people are not as lucky as us. I said so much, which means that even if Zhang Wangxiong finds any clues, he may not be able to discover the outside world, and even if he does, he may not be able to open it. ”

Zhu Shanxian nodded and said: "He has been collecting special artifacts all these years, and it should be with the help of the method of cultivating divine consciousness in the book, so that the Juemen Secret Transmission Qi Technique realm can go further." At least in this respect, he may not be much better than we were back then. ”

Ding Qi finally spoke: "What are you old rivers and lakes discussing?"

Zhu Shanxian explained: "We are analyzing how much information that Zhang Wangxiong has, do you know what we are doing?"

Ding Qi: "I accidentally got a clue about the beast kingdom again, but our energy is limited, and it's useless to think too much." Things should come one by one, and we should not ignore one at the expense of the other, and grasp the main contradiction first. ”

Xian Hao: "Teacher Ding is right!"

Zhu Shanxian concluded: "I don't know what to do when there are no clues, but it's not good to have too many clues. We now seem to have three directions of investigation, one is that Senior Sister Xian Hao was in charge before, to investigate what the Lang Zheng Service Company did behind the scenes? The second is to investigate what Zhang Wangxiong has mastered the situation in Naxi and what he wants to do? The third is to investigate the affairs of the Gu family and find out the clues of the Beast Kingdom. ”

Xian Hao: "At present, the most important target is Zhang Wangxiong, who is secretly peeping at a master of the Jue Sect, this feeling is really not good, and it is not stable to do anything." ”

Tan Hanchuan asked, "Senior Sister Xian investigated the business of Langzheng Service Company, did she find anything?"

Xian Hao: "It's only been a few days, I'm not an immortal, and I haven't found out anything yet, but I found another thing." Sha Langzheng and the others went to Huangtian Village and brought down two complete ancient bricks from the mountain, and then I stared at the group and found that they sent the two bricks to the Xinshikou antique market and sold them to a shop called Wuhua Tang. ”

Not all antiquities are valuable antiques, for example, many ancient bricks usually have little market value. If it is a very rare and exquisitely crafted gold brick, it may be worth a few bucks in the antique market. Of course, the so-called gold bricks are not made of gold, but the fine tribute bricks fired by the imperial kiln, which are carefully polished, with fine particles and dense textures, knocking on them like the sound of gold and stone.

Some other very good quality Chengni ancient bricks can be used to polish some utensils, such as inkstones, but it itself is not valuable in the antique market, and no one goes out of their way to buy such things. Sha Langzheng was injured and hospitalized, but his other accomplices sent two ancient bricks brought from Huangtian Village to an antique shop, which was a bit abnormal.

After working hard and running all the way, in order to move two ancient tower bricks and sell them to the antique market, I am afraid that I will not even be able to buy back two bowls of beef noodles, let alone how much I will lose. There must be a reason why they did it, and that was to say there was something wrong with the antique shop.

Ding Qi suddenly thought of something and reminded: "Last year, I assisted the police in cracking a criminal gang that kidnapped and abducted women and children, and happened to save Tian Xianglong's son. But the gang ran away with two leaders, and the police have not caught them so far. The gang members who were arrested did not even know the true identities of the two leaders, and could not even provide photographs.

An abduction and trafficking gang has such anti-reconnaissance measures, and people like Zhang Wangxiong will of course be more cautious in doing things. I guess Sha Langzheng's gang hasn't seen him at all, and they don't know his identity, Zhang Wangxiong is just remote control behind the scenes. However, the things they get will always be handed over to Zhang Wangxiong, and if they don't come into direct contact, they will need a transit point, which may be the antique shop. ”

Zhu Shanxian nodded and said, "Teacher Ding is becoming more and more like an old Jianghu!" Zhu Youquan will let go for the time being, and then I will be responsible for investigating the antique shop." ”

Xian Hao: "Over there of the Gu family, I'll go check and make sure if the beast talisman is really still in Lao Gu's hands." ”

Ding Qi waved his hand and said: "Let's go, the experience of that family is pitiful enough, it's best not to continue to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds." ”

Tan Hanchuan: "Teacher Ding is a psychiatrist, it is most suitable for him to go, and Senior Sister Xian still continues to stare at Langzheng Company." ”

Xian Hao: "Then what is Senior Brother Tan doing?"

Tan Hanchuan sighed and said: "I have to go to work too! Next month, the unit will send me to Beijing on a business trip, and I will go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do some errands, and it is estimated that I will have to wait for ten days before I can come back." But I'm not idle, and by the way, I'll check the clues of the beast country. ”

Ding Qi wondered: "Go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to check?"

Tan Hanchuan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I just went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find someone to help." Then he sighed and said, "If Ah Quan was here, he probably wouldn't need to be so troublesome, there are many things he is best at." ”

Xian Hao: "What's the matter?"

Tan Hanchuan: "Big data analysis! The reason why it is difficult for us to determine the location of the Beast Country is not because there are too few clues, but because there is too much information. There are many Longtan and Long'an villages all over the country, plus the place names that have appeared in ancient times, there are really some clues, so let's use modern technology. ”

Zhu Shanxian suddenly slapped the table and said, "When it comes to Ah Quan, I think of one thing. This Zhang Wangxiong has done a lot of things, all with traces of the book, either he is not a person in the family but a person in the book, or there is another master behind him, and that fellow is not simple. ”

Xian Hao frowned and said: "There was originally an important heir behind him, that is, Fan Yang, and there was already a cooperation between him and Fan Yang. The kind of immortal jump that the Gu family encountered was the threshold that was commonly used by the door, and it was the most vicious evil. As the saying goes, people gather by like, and things are divided by groups, and we, the descendants of the eight sects of the rivers and lakes, gathered together, and Zhang Wangxiong may also gather a group of scum from the rivers and lakes. ”

Tan Hanchuan: "So everyone must pay attention, there is likely to be a master of the book who cooperates with Zhang Wangxiong, I don't know who it is and what the relationship is with Zhang Wangxiong." I'm going on a business trip, Xiao Nizi has been staying in school to prepare for the exam recently, Mr. Zhuang doesn't know where to drink flower wine, I can't count on it for the time being, and now it's hard for the three of you. ”

The next day was Sunday, and Tan Hanchuan rushed back to Shanghai early in the morning, but Zhang Wangxiong appeared in Jinghu City again. Zhang Wangxiong once claimed to be the director of the Sixth Division of the Provincial Security Bureau, but at the moment he doesn't know whether it's true or not, let's just think he is telling the truth, so his place of work should be in Xiaojin City, the provincial capital, why should he set up a contact point in Jinghu City, isn't it too troublesome?

This is actually very reasonable, it is safer to connect with another city, and Jinghu City has the largest antique market in the province, just in the Xinshikou area, an antique shop hidden in it is not attracting attention. Nowadays, the transportation is very developed, and it only takes an hour to take the high-speed train from Xiaojin City to Jinghu City, which is shorter than the time it takes to drive from the Fifth Ring Road to the Second Ring Road in Beijing.

Zhang Wangxiong likes to collect, and on holidays, he always likes to visit places such as antique markets, and buy some small objects, which are usually worthless things, and those who are familiar with him know that he has this hobby.

Zhang Wangxiong walked around the Xinshikou antique market for more than an hour, entered several shops, and bought a string of cypress beads. A few years ago, Yabai was very hot, causing many people to go to the cliffs of barren mountains and mountains to dig up dead tree roots, but now the hype momentum has slowed down, and the prices of many things have fallen a lot from the peak.

Zhang Wangxiong wore a newly bought Yabai bracelet, and finally walked into Wuhua Hall. The name Wuhua Tang should be a reference to the idiom "Wuhua Tianbao", and the "Tianbao" is hidden and only says "Wuhua", which also carries some kind of suggestive meaning.

Although the tone of the brand is not small, the store is not big. There is a façade facing the street, there are shelves and counters in the house, there is a small warehouse behind it, and the upstairs is also a warehouse that can also live in. With such a shop, the boss can see it alone, and there is usually no need to hire a buddy.

Zhang Wangxiong had already quietly observed the surrounding situation and found nothing unusual, so he just walked into the store with his hands behind his back. The boss greeted him warmly and said, "You're here again?"

Zhang Wangxiong smiled: "Boss, what good things have you received recently?"

Boss: "Don't you know about my family's things, there are no new things recently, but I received an ancient sword, it should be a real guy in the Warring States Period, looking at the shape of the Chu sword, but the appearance is a little crippled...... It's on the shelf over here. ”

Zhang Wangxiong picked up a green bronze sword from the shelf, and put it in front of his nose to smell it as a very expert look, probably to smell whether there was any smell of urine. Many bronzes are counterfeited, and the method of olding is to throw things into the dung pit or urinal for a period of time, and then fish them out and wash them, and the rust on the surface is very similar to the traces left by years of burial.

Zhang Wangxiong didn't seem to be very interested in this ancient sword, and noticed that there were still two things on the shelf, and asked with his finger: "These two bricks are a bit interesting, how can they be sold?"

The boss was a little stunned and said: "It's just two old bricks, not for sale, I'll use them as a sword frame." ”

The two bricks didn't seem to be for sale, they were put one after the other to set up the ancient sword, but Zhang Wangxiong took a fancy to it, he handed the ancient sword back to the boss and said, "I just want to buy these two bricks, let's make a price." ”

Boss: "This thing is not worth the price, why are you buying it?"

Zhang Wangxiong tapped the dark blue ancient brick with his finger and said: "The quality of this brick is good, and now it is rare to see this kind of mud process, I plan to buy it back and find someone to grind the two inkstones." ”

Boss: "You are a regular customer, I can give these two bricks for free!"

Zhang Wangxiong: "Then how can it, you have to give a price, I can't take things for nothing." ”

The boss said helplessly: "You are really particular about people, you can take all five yuan a piece, ten yuan." ”

Zhang Wangxiong was about to pay for it, when someone suddenly said loudly at the door of the store: "Twenty, I bought those two bricks!"
