Chapter 1189: A Jade Pendant
"Take it out. Kaohsiung whispered to him next to him. Lao Zhang did not respond, and still repeated the sentence "sent".
Kaohsiung changed his tone to stern again: "If you send it, you won't take it out!" Lao Zhang put his right hand into the collar and pulled out a necklace, which was a piece of jade tied with a red rope, round and seemed to be dark green.
Lao Zhang carried this jade pendant in his hand and stretched it straight forward. Kaohsiung wanted to go over and grab it, but Lao Zhang grabbed it tightly: "Here you go, here you go." "Kaohsiung didn't dare to take it again, so let everyone get Lao Zhang back quickly. This is a hard work, Brother Zhang picked up his younger brother on his back, walked back to the hotel quickly, Lao Zhang was lying on his brother's back, his right hand was still holding the jade pendant tightly, his legs were still shaking forward and backward, and he seemed to be still walking.
When he returned to the hotel, Brother Zhang was already tired and panting. After settling down, Kaohsiung told them that the jade pendant must have been found out of the coffin, and no one should rob it now, otherwise it would be annoying. Now it is necessary to immediately let the Thai mage come to Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and cast the spell as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult. After quoting the price, Brother Zhang looked embarrassed: "It costs 40,000 yuan, which is more expensive than that Taoist." ”
"Even if the Taoist only collects two thousand, it will be a waste of money for you, and he will not be able to solve it at all!" I laughed. Brother Zhang called his father on his mobile phone overnight to discuss the money, and Guan Yu's uncle told us that Lao Zhang is almost fifty years old now, but he is still a bachelor, he has no real business, and he has no savings in his hands, so the money can only be paid by his parents.
Kaohsiung and I listened to Brother Zhang discuss on the phone for a long time, and in the end it seemed that his parents only agreed to give 20,000 yuan. Kaohsiung waved his hand: "Then forget it, let's go to Hanzhong for nothing, and go back to Thailand tomorrow!" Brother Zhang hurriedly asked if he could be accommodating, rural people don't have much money. It's still midnight anyway, and I suggest we'll talk again tomorrow during the day.
The next day, Guan Yu's uncle asked Lao Zhang if he had touched something from the coffin at the construction site that day, and Lao Zhang refused to admit it. Brother Zhang was very angry and said that you took it out last night, and you still didn't admit it. Lao Zhang saw that the matter had been revealed, so he had to obediently pull out the jade pendant from his neck. This jade pendant is round and carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, which is very exquisite. Kaohsiung held it in his hand and looked at the light for a long time: "It's jadeite." Guan Yu asked how much it was worth, and Kaohsiung said that if it really came out of the coffin of the Qing Dynasty, according to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, plus the color and quality of this jadeite, it would cost five or six hundred thousand yuan.
Everyone was surprised, I saw that Lao Zhang's eyes were shining, so I said: "You don't have to count on it, this jade pendant almost didn't kill you, die this heart!" Lao Zhang swallowed his saliva and didn't say anything. The matter of money was still not negotiated, and Kaohsiung and I lost patience and prepared to go home. Brother Zhang didn't spit out when he saw that we were dying, so he had to say that he would pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan for his brother first, but he asked us not to tell his wife, otherwise we would have to fight. It seems that his wife has a lot of opinions about this idle little uncle. Before, I suspected that the Zhang family had known about the jade pendant for a long time, but now it doesn't matter, anyway, the money is in hand. Kaohsiung called Azanbudan and helped him book a ticket from Bangkok to Guangzhou and then to Xi'an.
Two days later, Azanbudan arrived, and Guan Yu drove from Xi'an to take Azanbudan to Hanzhong, and then came to the township, where they all stayed at the hotel. The inn has only four rooms in total, and now it is full, and the owner is very happy. In the room, Azanbudan saw Lao Zhang, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, stood by the bed, took off the string of bone beads around his neck, and began to chant mantras. Lao Zhang opened his mouth half-open, made an "ahhh
"There is a yin spirit in him who has been dead for more than 200 years, he is a Chinese, or an official, and I don't know what to say about that official position. "Azambudan told me and Kaohsiung. I was surprised, it seems that it is nothing more than words like "prefect" and "prefect", maybe it is a more advanced one, such as governor, squire, court official and Hanlin, these nouns are of course not understood by Azambudan and cannot be translated.
Azambudan said: "I communicated with this yin spirit, and he was very dignified, and said that he could not take away the jade pendant, it was a relic of his wife, and it must be returned. ”
Kaohsiung replied: "But how can we return it? That official's coffin is no longer at the construction site!"
Azambudan said, "The Yin Spirit only said that it would be sent back to him. ”
Kaohsiung and I looked at each other, and it seemed that we had to inquire about the whereabouts of the coffin. This matter is a little difficult, I asked Guan Yu to check whether there is a cultural relics management agency in Hanzhong City through the 114 number search desk. Sure enough, such as Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hubei, Jiangxi and Henan, the old cities of the Central Plains, have been prosperous places since ancient times, and many of them were once the capitals of ancient countries or the fiefs of princes, so the probability of unearthed cultural relics in these provinces is much more than that of coastal cities in the northeast and south. Almost every city in Shaanxi has a cultural relics bureau, and some local counties also have it, and Hanzhong is no exception, and there is a "cultural relics bureau" in charge of this matter.
After getting through the phone, Guan Yu helped me ask where the coffin of the Qing Dynasty official unearthed in XX Township, XX County, had been moved, and the other party asked us what we were doing and what unit it was for. I took the phone and said that a relative had picked up a jade pendant at the construction site in the township, and asked someone to identify it as the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and I suspected that the cultural relics in the coffin were scattered when they were robbed, and I hope to return it. The staff immediately became nervous, made detailed records, and wanted to send someone to the township. I said, "No, comrade, you don't know, now that the person who picked up the jade pendant has fallen into evil, he has to send it to the place where the coffin is currently located, and we dare not persuade him, do you see if you can be satisfied?"
"Evil?" the staff couldn't help laughing, "Aren't you watching too many TV dramas?" I said seriously Anyway, this person is very evil now, and everyone in the village knows that he goes out to sleepwalk every night, his feet are all blistered, and it is very painful, so don't laugh at him. The staff let us go to the Municipal Bureau of Culture and Cultural Relics to interview them.
Guan Yu drove us into the city and came to this cultural relics bureau in Hanzhong City. The staff who answered the phone received us in the office, first carefully looked at the jade jade pendant, then looked at Lao Zhang, and then saw the appearance of Azambudan, and felt strange. When I introduced Azambudan's identity, I was surprised to hear that the Burmese mage from Thailand was "Good fellow, you invited a mage from a foreign country to exorcise evil spirits?"
Brother Zhang replied: "There's no way, my brother makes a lot of trouble at night, you look at his feet." Lao Zhang reluctantly took off his sandals, and the staff was really surprised when they saw the bubbles on the soles of his feet. He told us that the owner of the tomb in the coffin was indeed an official of the Qing Dynasty, who returned to his hometown in Hanzhong after returning to his hometown, and was buried in his hometown after his death, but there was no exact record in the history books, and the descendants of the family were not in this place, so they could not be contacted, so they could only be treated as cultural relics and had been transported to the warehouse of the city museum.
