Chapter 12 Encountering an uninvited guest next to the tomb of Xiping

Li Sheng, a good instrument, a native of Lintan, Taozhou, and a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the title of the king of Xiping County, he is known as Li Xiping. Ming Taizu took 37 ancient and modern heroes to enjoy the imperial temples of previous dynasties, including Li Sheng. He was born in a military family, joined the army at the age of eighteen, and his life achievements have three, crusade against the three towns of Heshuo, quell the Zhuzhu rebellion, and resist the invasion of Tibet. He became famous in a war is also to Tubo, personally killed a famous general of Tubo, since then famous, Li Sheng fought bravely and strategically, first named the king of Hechuan County, and then the king of Xiping County, his bravery has the name of "ten thousand enemies".

The theft of Li Sheng's tomb caused a sensation a few months ago, and the state carried out rescue excavations. Later, because the five people who participated in the tomb robbery and some of their family members were killed, it became a topic of conversation on the streets, and public opinion was everywhere for a while, with ghosts and gods and revenge by later generations...

Later, the police came out to refute the rumors, the two things were not connected, this group of people is a habitual tomb robber, and recently happened to rob and excavate Li Sheng's tomb, and their death was a vendetta caused by the uneven distribution of the spoils by several groups of tomb robbers, so that everyone should not believe the rumors.

People are always interested in bizarre and strange things, and even if someone dies because of it, many people flock to it, and this time Xin Yifan went to the excavation site of Li Sheng's tomb to have this idea. Although the excavation site has been cordoned off by the police, there are many people from all over the country who have come to see the excitement, including archaeology enthusiasts, paranormal enthusiasts, and journalists.

Xin Yifan had a work certificate from the Institute of Archaeology, and he smoothly took Ye Zilan into the archaeological site, because the tombstone had been moved before, so that future generations could not confirm its specific location, which gave the tomb robbers a chance. At this time, the excavation work has not yet ended, but the prototype of the tomb can be seen, the two-chamber brick tomb structure, the tomb road is long, close to the tomb part of the tunnel, and eight patios and 12 small niches have been opened at the top to symbolize the layers of courtyards of the house. On the brick surface of the tomb and on the two walls of the tomb road, murals are painted, showing the tomb owner, male and female attendants, doormen and armed horsemen, as well as the four gods and celestial charts. The whole tomb is about 80 meters long, the corridor and the tomb road are biased to the east of the south wall of the tomb, and gradually form a straight line with the east wall of the tomb.

What interests Xin Yifan is the mural in the tomb, Li Sheng's life Xin Yifan is also more familiar, and there are special records of his exploits in history, Xin Yifan looked down along the mural one by one, one of the pictures attracted his attention, Li Sheng in the picture was wearing armor with a bow, and several people of different races kneeling opposite, Li Sheng in the painting looked tall and mighty, and the jewelry he wore on his chest, Xin Yifan recognized it at a glance, it was the crystal necklace! He continued to look at the next pair, mostly a description of traveling in a dress or robe, and then looked back, Xin Yifan found that whenever Li Sheng was wearing armor in battle, there were crystal necklaces as accessories in the paintings, if Xin Yifan was not particularly familiar with them, others might regard them as accessories on armor.

This discovery made Xin Yifan even more puzzled about the origin of the crystal necklace, Xin Yifan had read all the historical books about Li Sheng before, and there was no mention of any record of Li Sheng's favorite jewelry. Judging from the murals, this should have appeared after he broke Tibet, that is, after that, Li Sheng was called "ten thousand enemies".

The cultural relics in the tomb have been emptied, Xin Yifan decided to leave after seeing that there was no new discovery, in fact, this discovery is also very important, at least let him find that the crystal necklace is a must-wear thing for Li Sheng to wear, maybe Li Sheng has already discovered the strangeness of the crystal necklace, and finally brought it into the coffin. What puzzled Xin Yifan was why Li Sheng had been with him for many years after wearing the crystal necklace until the end of his life, and he got the crystal for more than a month and disappeared.

Xin Yifan walked out of Li Sheng's tomb while thinking nonsense. At this time, it was getting late, and he and Ye Zilan were about to go back to the hotel, so he was about to take out his mobile phone to call a taxi. At this time, a man's voice asked, "Are you Dr. Xin Yifan?"

Xin Yifan looked for prestige, this man was about 40 years old, his hair was very well-groomed, he was wearing a casual suit, and the imperial green egg-faced jade ring on his hand was very eye-catching, he looked at Xin Yifan, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that the person who came didn't know him, Xin Yifan replied politely although he was puzzled: "I'm Xin Yifan, may I ask who you are?"

"The contemptible surname is Xiong, a jewelry merchant in Hong Kong City, and he has long admired the name of Dr. Xin, can you take a step to speak. The jeweler surnamed Xiong introduced himself very politely.

"If you have anything, just tell me. When he couldn't figure out the intentions of others, Xin Yifan was still wary.

"Dr. Xin, please don't get me wrong, it's because I received an item that I would like Dr. Xin to take a look at for me. The jeweler surnamed Xiong still smiled.

"I think there are a lot of people who know more about appraisal than me, what is Boss Xiong looking for me to do, I'm sorry Boss Xiong, I really have something to do next, so I'll leave first." After that, Xin Yifan was ready to pull Ye Zilan away.

"Dr. Shin, this thing I found is special, a special crystal product!" said the jeweler again.

Hearing the crystal products, Xin Yifan paused, turned around and asked, "Crystal products?" Well, why did you come to me to see the crystal products of Boss Xiong?"

Boss Xiong still kept smiling, "You can just take a look, it's really special, I think there are really not many people in China who can study it except you." His words not only attracted Xin Yifan's interest, but also aroused Xin Yifan's vigilance. Seeing that Xin Yifan was still hesitant, Boss Xiong said again: "Dr. Xin, I really don't have any malicious intent, I'm just curious about this thing, as far as I know, you should be one of the people you can know!"

Xin Yifan nodded, he probably guessed that Boss Xiong might have let him see the crystal skull! This is indeed not studied by many people in China, could it be that this person is one of the robbers? Do they want to attack themselves?

"Dr. Xin, please!" Boss Xiong raised his hand to signal.

"She doesn't have to be with me!" Xin Yifan said to Boss Xiong, and also to Ye Zilan.

"Why?" Ye Zilan asked puzzled.

"If I tell you not to go, don't go, be obedient! You go back to the capital first, and I'll come back when I'm done." Xin Yifan didn't want to talk to her too much, he didn't want Ye Zilan to get involved.

"I'm not going back, brother, are you worried about danger, so you let me go?" Ye Zilan saw Xin Yifan's intentions.

At this time, Boss Xiong spoke: "Little girl, I won't do any harm to Mr. Xin, I just asked him to help me identify something, please rest assured." Then he said to Xin Yifan: "Dr. Xin, I think your girlfriend really misunderstood. ”

Xin Yifan was stunned when he heard Boss Xiong's words, and thought to himself that you had misunderstood, "She is my sister, not my girlfriend." Then he said to Ye Zilan: "Xiaolan, you are obedient, you have heard what Boss Xiong said, my brother will not be in any danger, just go and help him identify an item, what do you have to worry about, otherwise you can wait for me in the hotel." "Xin Yifan's purpose is to take Ye Zilan, these people were able to rob the crystal skull and escape through a sophisticated plan a few years ago, so far the police have not caught them, the means and abilities must be very, now that they have found him, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to escape, and Ye Zilan must be allowed to leave safely.

"Brother, if I don't leave, I won't leave. Ye Zilan said stubbornly.

Xin Yifan was about to speak again to let her leave, but Boss Xiong said first: "Dr. Xin, since it is your sister, it doesn't hurt to be together, I think it shouldn't delay you too much." ”

Xin Yifan said in his heart: It's over, now others won't let you go, this stubborn girl! He also wondered if he was shouting for help, but it was sparsely populated here, more than a kilometer away from Li Sheng's tomb, and now it was getting late, and the people who watched the excitement were almost gone, and those archaeological staff probably got off work, and no one might be able to hear them even if they just screamed their throats, and it is estimated that they just started to ask for help This person surnamed Xiong solved himself and Ye Zilan.

Seeing that Xin Yifan was still hesitating, Boss Xiong urged again: "Dr. Xin's side, my car is in front." ”

Xin Yifan had no choice but to follow, they bypassed a small dirt bag, and saw a business car parked there, and there were two bodyguard-like people standing next to the car, and when they saw Boss Xiong coming back, the two immediately opened the car door, and then the three of them got into the car.

After about half an hour, the car got on the highway, drove along the highway for about an hour, got off the road, and then got on a national highway. Boss Xiong began to find some topics to talk to Xin Yifan, but when he saw that Xin Yifan was not interested in dealing with him, he shut up, but Ye Zilan held Xin Yifan's hand tightly with her hand, turning a blind eye to Xin Yifan's dissatisfied gaze.

The car drove on the national highway for about two hours, entering a city, at this time, the lights were on, the city lights were brilliant, Xin Yifan looked out of the car window, and saw a large billboard on the side of the road that said, Yongcheng Garden, a villa for life!

Is the robbers' nest in Yongcheng?

After the car enters Yongcheng, it passes through the city center, and drives to the east, there are many fewer high-rise buildings along the way, all of which are low-rise villas, and it doesn't take long to enter a set of villas that occupy a huge area and stop at the door, and there are security guards at the door who see the car and immediately come over to push open the iron door outside the villa, and the car has been driven to the main entrance of the villa to stop, and someone is waiting next to the car to help open the car door, and respectfully greeting to the boss Xiong: "Boss, you are back." ”

Boss Xiong nodded, got out of the car first, and then said to Xin Yifan and the others: "Dr. Xin, it's here, it's been hard all the way, please come in." ”

Xin Yifan and Ye Zilan got out of the car, and they were not in the mood to carefully admire Boss Xiong's luxury villa, so they followed in, and Ye Zilan followed him closely.

The decoration of the villa is in Chinese style, embellished with some European elements, a huge crystal chandelier in the living room reflects the whole living room bright and warm, and the floor heating in the room makes the spring cold in March be isolated tightly. Boss Xiong took off his coat after entering the house, and then smiled at Xin Yifan: "Dr. Xin, what do you and your sister drink?"

The warm environment of the room made Xin Yifan's nervous body relax slightly, but since he arrived at the robber's lair, he felt fearless, since he couldn't hide, he had to face it calmly.

"No need, Boss Xiong, you should let me see that crystal product of yours!"
