Chapter 218: A Visit to Professor Du
Mysterious places show mysterious people
Three and four in the gossip street
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Liu woke up a little slowly, he moved his body a little, but the kick before was too heavy, he just moved lightly and felt that every organ in his internal organs was not in the same place, and he almost lost his breath in pain.
He gave up the idea of wanting to sit up, slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light came into view at any time, and he quickly narrowed his eyes.
It took him a while before he could barely see what was in front of him.
It turned out that Xiao Liu was no longer in the temple before, and I don't know who took him to another stone room.
The stone chamber was bright, but there were no windows, and all the light came from the several human-shaped lamps on the stone walls.
These lamps are all in the shape of young girls, only the upper body, not the lower body, they are embedded in the wall, revealing half of their bodies, and they are dragging a small black bowl in their hands, from which the fire shines.
The stone chamber was not very small, half the size of a basketball court, and there were four stone pillars in it, and there was a huge iron ring in the center, and countless black iron chains the thickness of small arms passed through the middle of this iron ring, and extended into a black stone door on the other side.
In addition, there are two one-meter-wide ditches on both sides of this stone chamber, which are tumbling with dark red liquid, large steam bags come out from time to time, and then "pop" and burst, and occasionally there will be animal mutilation mixed with the smell of foul smell gushing out, which makes people want to retch.
What makes people feel even more disgusting is the stone table in the middle of this stone room.
The stone table was not too large, and on it were five stone bowls, which were a blackish-brown color, apparently the color of the blood soaked and dried up.
The five stone bowls were large and small, and three of the five stone bowls had been put in: a heart, a stomach, and half a tongue......
Xiao Liu Qiang held back the vomiting sensation in his chest, turned his head to look around, and found that he was lying under the second stone pillar on the left, and not far from his right was lying Huang Duoduo, Huang Duoduo did not move, obviously fainted.
And under the pillar to his right sat three men, three men.
Among them, there were two people Xiao Liu knew, they were Wu Fan and Leng Laosan, and the other person he couldn't see clearly, he could only see that he was wearing a black robe, and his head was covered by a cloak.
The black-robed man said in a strange voice, "There are still hands and feet left to complete the sacrifice part." What do you do with these two people, you can make up your own mind! We Templars can only help you get here. ”
"Templars? What is that? Why are they here? How could Lao Wu and the third brother be with them? Xiao Liu was surprised when he heard this name.
And the one who was also surprised when he heard this name was Liu Military Academy.
After Liu Junxiao and Li Suna got off the train, they immediately came to the Chunhua Building pawnshop on Xishuncheng Street to find Professor Du, but the guy told them that the shopkeeper was not in the store.
"Where's your shopkeeper?" Liu Junxiao took out a piece of fifty yuan, handed it to the guy, and said with a smile.
When the guy saw that he had money, he immediately put away his attitude of ignoring it, and instead smiled flatteringly, "I didn't expect Mr. to be such a generous person!" ”
"Where, where!" Liu Junxiao smiled, "Can you tell me where your shopkeeper is now?" ”
"Of course, of course! Our shopkeeper went to the Red Romance Ballroom four days ago, and now he hasn't come back, it is estimated that there is no money waiting for someone to redeem him, if you want to find our shopkeeper, go to the Red Romance in the south of Taiyuan Street. The guy laughed.
"Thank you." After Liu Junxiao finished speaking, he pulled Li Suna out of the door and got into a noodle car, and went straight to Red Romance.
The van headed east, and after about 15 minutes, you arrived at the Red Romantic Ballroom.
Sure enough, in the VIP room at the innermost point of the ballroom, the two of them saw Professor Du who had just woken up.
Liu Junxiao didn't talk nonsense, he first found the manager of the dance hall, and after settling all the accounts of Professor Du in the last few days, he took a bottle of Remy Martin and returned to the VIP private room.
He first poured a glass for Professor Du, and then poured another glass for himself, Liu Junxiao looked at Professor Du and didn't speak, just picked up the glass of wine in front of him and drank it all.
"Brother Liu, what a lot of wine!" Professor Du smiled and took a sip of the cup in front of him, "Soul wine, soul wine, good wine and soul, good wine!" ”
"You know me?" Liu Junxiao said.
"Of course I know you." Professor Du took another sip and said slowly: "Your surname is Liu, your name is a military school, and you are the second oldest in the family, so your friends on the road call you Second Master Liu, of course, some people call you ghosts, that's because as long as you have been to Dou, there is no time to return empty-handed, let alone blowing the lamp and pulling out wax." However, you have always been very benevolent, every time you go to the ground to touch the gold, you will only take away the six things in the tomb owner's funeral goods, more than one does not take, less one is not good, in addition, you never take the things in people's mouths, so far some people call you Buddha Liu, of course, the Buddha here can be the same thing as the thief Buddha in the mouth of the people in the capital! ”
"Looks like you know a lot about me?" Liu Junxiao said with a smile.
"That's too much?" Professor Du took a sip of Remy Martin, shook his head and said: "You have been to the tombs a total of 27 times in your life, 17 large tombs, 10 small tombs, a total of 162 pieces of artifacts, 121 pieces, the rest of the objects are placed in the secret room of the family, once married a wife and had a son, and then your daughter-in-law left you because of the matter between you and your little sister......
"Looks like I'm not looking for the wrong person." Liu Junxiao interrupted Professor Du and said.
"You're not looking for the wrong person." Professor Du said as he tasted his wine. "What do you want to know?"
"I want to know about these people." Liu Junxiao said and handed the note with the twelve knights printed on it to Professor Du.
Professor Du glanced at the note, then frowned slightly, and then said, "Since you came to me, you should know the rules." ”
"Of course I do." Liu Junxiao said as he took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed it over.
Professor Du took the banknote and didn't count it, but put it under his nose and smelled it, and said leisurely: "This smell is really fragrant!" ”
Professor Du took a sip of his wine and continued, "They are a foreign organization called the Templars. Some people say that their leader is Italian, some say that their boss is British, in short, everywhere, but in fact, few people have seen the true face of these guys, how did you mess with them? ”
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?" Liu Junxiao asked rhetorically.
"That's right, it's better not to know some things." Professor Du smiled and took a sip of wine, "This Templar was first founded in the Middle Ages, and no one knows where the specific country is, but they know that it is a group of people who have enveloped supernatural forces to change the world. According to legend, there were twelve chairs in the headquarters of the Templars, representing the twelve regions of the human world. They were first known more than twenty years ago. ”
"More than twenty years ago?" Li Suna asked in surprise.
"Yes, that was in 1962." Professor Du stretched and said, "This question is considered a gift, and you will not be charged money." ”
"Thank you...... Thank you! Professor Du's words made Li Suna not know what to say for a while, and she held back these two words for a long time.
"You're welcome!" Professor Du made a gesture of raising his glass, took a sip of wine, and then continued: "In the summer of 1962, three wealthy British businessmen traveled to Egypt. They were nominally on a tour, but in reality for a mummy that had just been unearthed in Egypt at the time. It was a female mummy, and according to an archaeologist named Wilson at the time, the mummy was the queen of ancient Egypt, and they also named the mummy, which was Suna Cleopatra. According to the information at the time, the body of Cleopatra was very well preserved, and a total of three layers of human-shaped coffins made of gold were wrapped around it. ”
"But what does this have to do with the Templars?" Li Suna asked impatiently.
"Those three Englishmen are Templars." Professor Du glanced at Li Suna and said: "After they knew about it, they immediately went to Egypt and bought the mummy of Suna Cleopatra from the Egyptian government for 2,000 US dollars, and in the following week, strange things happened, these three Britons began to contract strange diseases one after another, two of them died violently in the hotel, although the third person survived by luck, but he was nearly fifty years old, his body began to change, all male characteristics degraded almost at the same time, a big man who was alive, Became a middle-aged woman in a week. ”
"And then?" Liu Junxiao asked.
"He was later arrested by the British government on charges of smuggling antiquities, and a month after he was imprisoned, he revealed his origins, the mysterious Templar, but he just said that name and suddenly bled to his death, and no one knows what the origin of that organization was."
"I see." Liu Junxiao said and handed over a pile of banknotes and a bronze mask, and said with a smile: "Do you know where this object was unearthed from?" ”
Professor Du took the heavy bronze mask, played with it back and forth in his hand for a while, sighed and said: "I don't know if this thing is real or fake, because I am not engaged in antique identification, although I opened a pawnshop, I still live by buying news." However, while I don't know if it's real or not, I do at least know where to find clues about it. ”
"Where?" Liu Junxiao hurriedly asked.
"Muji Village. A small place where Gansu meets Inner Mongolia. Professor Du said.
"How do I know where it is?" Liu Junxiao asked.
"My rule is to only answer two questions a day, and since your questions have been asked, then our fate today is over." Professor Du took a sip of wine and said, "However, I can send you a piece of news, if you want to go to Muji Village, you might as well try your luck at No. 304, East Lane, Bagua Street." ”
"No. 304, East Lane, Bagua Street?" Liu Junxiao's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered the envelope that the little girl on the train gave him, and the address inside was No. 304, East Lane, Bagua Street.
So Liu Junxiao hurriedly asked, "Who lives there?" ”
"A blind man, a dumb man!"
