Chapter 1141 The farce of the game

Xu Qing generously took out the crystal skull on the dinner table not because he was drunk, on the contrary, he thought about it for a while, Li Lao can recognize the origin of the skull at a glance to prove that his guess is right, the old man's professional knowledge may not be as good as those professors and scholars who study this way, but he used to be in a position where he can access more things that professors and scholars can't know, such as objects like crystal skeletons and Pisces pendants.

Li Lao reached out and took the crystal skull and put it flat in front of his eyes, then took out a pair of reading glasses from his pocket and put them on, looked at the skull several times in great detail, and put his fingers into the eye sockets of the skull and groped for a while, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.

After a long time, Li Lao put the skull on the table, tapped the smooth Tianling cover with his index finger and said, "Where did you get the singing skull?" ”

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Some time ago, I went to the Vatican to attend Master's wedding, and I met an acquaintance I knew in Vegas before, so I helped them fight a few pirates, and found this on an island. ”

Li Lao took off his glasses, stretched out his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said slowly in a subdued tone: "Some people say that the thirteen singing crystal skulls contain the origin information of human life, and some people say that this is a gift brought by aliens from Sirius in ancient times, and some people say that it has supernatural abilities, and it can save an impending apocalypse by placing it in a certain order, and all kinds of legends are still legends until now." ”

Xu Qing and the others were listening attentively, and Li Lao suddenly braked, but in the middle of the conversation, he sold the guanzi, and unhurriedly took a sip of the wine glass on the table.

Li Huixian was addicted to hearing this, pulled the old man's arm and shook it for a while, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, why did you stop halfway through the talk?" What else? ”

The wine glass in Old Li's hand flickered, and a few drops of residual wine spilled out, and he deliberately lifted the corners of his mouth and said: "Don't mess around, virtuous girl, let me smooth out my thoughts and then say, come, help the old man rub his shoulders, I was pressed by your girl just now, and it is still sore." ”

Li Huixian pouted and got up and walked behind the old man, very obediently massaged the old man with both hands, and urged in a low voice: "Grandpa, say it quickly, everyone is waiting to hear the story!" ”

A kind smile appeared on Li Lao's face, glanced at Xu Qing and Ren Bing at the same table, and finally opened the conversation again: "The legendary thirteen crystal skulls have supernatural powers, which also makes some powerful countries chasing after the wind and shadows start chasing, including our Huaxia, of course, all this is a private competition, everyone has a common purpose, whether the legend is true or not, in short, things cannot fall into the hands of the same country, for a while, all kinds of tricks are exhausted, and it is very fun to fight for a legend......"

At the beginning, the matter of the major powers competing for the crystal skull involved a secret, except for Li Lao and a few high-level people in China, few people knew about it, and the old people who knew about it back then had already passed away, and Li Lao also regarded this matter as a farce involving many powerful countries, so he was willing to tell Xu Qing and others about it.

Power is an eternal topic that people chase, and since the day someone existed, there have been people who have tried all kinds of methods to chase more powerful power, because the strong can dominate most things. The pursuit of power by those in power of a country is even stronger, power is the foundation of peace and stability, and balancing and restricting is the primary issue that those in power of a country are always concerned about.

The thirteen crystal skulls and the Triangle of the Gods are all legendary things that can produce great power, and they are real, and the countries that know the existence of these things are unwilling to let them fall into the hands of other countries.

In addition to Huaxia getting two crystal skulls, Britain, the United States, and France each had gains, Lao Mei got four of them, two for the other two countries, and one was taken away by the ninjas of the island country, adding up to eleven skulls.

Xu Qing noticed that Li Lao gritted his teeth several times when talking about the battle for the crystal skull, which shows that the battle situation at that time was not as calm and light as described in the words, and the secret game between countries often had to pay a bloody price.

The thirteen crystal skulls have all been found, but it is really not easy to collect them into one piece, I heard Li Lao say that after getting the crystal skull, he had summoned the top scientists in the country to study it, and the materials used to make the skull did not belong to any kind of crystal composition on the earth, and the skull could not test any energy fluctuations, but these two skulls could really sing.

When Li Lao said that the crystal skull could sing, Li Huixian's eyes suddenly lit up, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and her watery eyes widened and said, "Grandpa, I used to hear a strange sound like a night owl barking in your study, is it the crystal skull?" ”

Li Lao took a sip of his wine glass, nodded and smiled: "Hehe, decades have passed, the research has long been completed, and the mystery of the thirteen crystal skulls has disappeared, maybe the other skulls have also become decorations in some corners, or they are collected as souvenirs, and it is not bad to listen to night owls once in a while." ”

The old man admitted that the two crystal skulls had been regarded by him as a private collection to evoke memories, but it was indeed a challenge to the senses to listen to the singing of night owls on a regular basis.

Xu Qing became interested in the fact that the crystal skull could sing, he picked up the skull and flipped it twice, but he didn't find the mystery, so he could only ask Li Lao with a smile: "Old man, how can this thing sing?" ”

Li Lao smiled and said: "This is simple, use a basin with water, put the skull in it and soak it halfway, remember to show two eye sockets, it won't take long for you to hear the night owl barking, but it's really hard to hear, haha!" ”

Hearing this kind of novelty, Xu Qing couldn't wait to find a basin and try it immediately, even if it was ugly, he would know after hearing it, maybe he would be good at it?

Seeing this guy's impatient look, Li Lao couldn't help but smile and said: "Come on, you like to listen to night owls, right, then I will simply give you the remaining two crystal skulls as adults, as a small gift to help me heal my illness this time." Of course, he won't say anything like any reward, the crystal skull dispute back then seems to have become a farce now, and this thing has naturally lost its value, and giving it to Xu Qing is a thing.
