Chapter 417: True Qilin Eyes
After the seventh master saw the wooden box, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is the person who sold the box?" ”
I couldn't figure out the situation, so I replied, "Let's go, I'll sell my stuff and leave!" ”
The seventh master turned around and put the box aside, and ran out quickly, it should have been to chase the person who sold things, seeing the seventh master's panicked expression, I was a little confused, and said what kind of object is this box, which can make the seventh master's mood fluctuate so much? Could it be that the big man who sells things is also an expert in inverted fighting? This thing wasn't his ancestral at all? I was deceived by him?
I thought about it, and finally denied my thoughts, the big man looked very simple, and there was nothing to hide between his words, if he was really an expert in the inverted bucket, he wouldn't know the value of this wooden box, but why was the seventh master so nervous about him? Chased out without saying a word?
I was thinking about what was going on, while waiting for the seventh master to come back, after a long time, it was completely dark, I got up and prepared to turn on the lights in the yard, at this time, the seventh master walked in slowly, and when I saw him coming, I hurriedly went over and asked, "Seventh master, how is it?" Did you catch it? ”
The seventh master shook his head, and then carefully interrogated the process of the man's sale, I recalled, while narrating all the processes one by one, I didn't dare to miss a single thing.
At this time, the Seventh Master asked in a deep voice, "If what that person said is right, if this thing is their family's ancestor, then it will definitely not be a local!" ”
As soon as the seventh master said this, I nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it's not a local accent, the big man is full of Northeast dialect, like a Northeast person." ”
The seventh master slapped the table and said, "That's right!" This thing should be there! ”
I was confused, and the second monk was confused, so he could only ask the seventh master again, what was going on.
The seventh master slowly sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip before he said slowly.
It turned out that earlier in the Changbai Mountain generation, there was a very huge ancient tomb, in the Qing Dynasty Jiaqing period, due to the emptiness of the treasury, some old ministers had a strategy, that is, to dig up the ancient tomb of Changbai Mountain, the contents of the theft.
At the beginning of the period, the emperor seemed to agree, and also sent the tomb supervisor to Changbai Mountain to squat, according to legend, this wooden box is the tomb supervisor to carry the things on the body, which records the map of the location of the ancient tomb, very valuable, if the old man did not lie, it must be the descendant of the tomb officer.
It was only later that the legend of Changbai Mountain was related to the dragon vein, and it could not be opened lightly, so the tomb opening plan was put on hold, and those tomb supervisors seemed to have been forgotten, staying near Changbai Mountain for decades, and finally simply got married and had children there, and as time went by, they gradually integrated into the local life, and over time, no one mentioned the matter of opening the tomb.
I can listen to it intently, and I say such a secret news in my heart, even the descendants of the tomb supervisor don't know that there is this history, how can the seventh master know?
The seventh master explained that in the early days of the Republic of China, in the spring of 1928, Ma Futian, a bandit who had been incorporated by the original Feng army, led his troops to defect and went straight to Ma Lanyu next to the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, deliberately digging graves and stealing treasures for a long time. At that time, the Northern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army had entered the Hebei region, and the Feng army had withdrawn northward, while there were many bandits scattered in the eastern Hebei region, which were extremely rampant. Under these circumstances, the National Revolutionary Army sent Sun Dianying's troops to suppress it. On the way, Sun Dianying often saw the magnificence of the Tanglin Palace, in order to raise funds for the suppression of bandits, the idea of robbing the tomb, and later in the process of suppressing the bandits, found a lot of secrets about the ancient tomb, the matter of this wooden box, is from him.
Speaking of which, the seventh master took out his white gloves and slowly opened the wooden box, I looked towards the wooden box with joy, thinking to myself, if it is really a map of the ancient tomb, it is really a hair, after all, even the ancient tomb that the Qing Dynasty coveted back then must be full of treasures!
But when the seventh master opened the wooden box, the two of us were disappointed, the wooden box turned out to be empty, and there was nothing in it!
The seventh master was also stunned, turned his head to look at me, and asked, "Where's the thing?" ”
I shook my head and said, "I don't know, I haven't opened this box since I got it, and I'm coming to you directly!" Could it be that I was tricked by that big man? The contents have already been taken by him? ”
The seventh master shook his head and said, "No, it shouldn't have been opened by the big man, it can be inferred from the mud in the gap of the box that this box has not been opened for at least a hundred years, and didn't the big man say it?" His ancestors said that this box was sealed with evil things, and it was not allowed to be opened easily? People like them are very superstitious and will definitely not open it. ”
I nodded, and asked, "But what about the things?" Since it has not been opened, could it be that the box was originally empty? Or was it opened and taken away more than a hundred years ago? ”
The seventh master's face was heavy, and he said, "It's not impossible, if it has really been taken away, it won't be good, I'm afraid that the ancient tomb has been stolen now." ”
Speaking, the seventh master picked up the open wooden box, carefully observed, after looking for a while, the seventh master beckoned me to bring a magnifying glass, from the inside to the outside, little by little carefully observed, this wooden box has lines inside and out, probably because of the long exposure to the air, the outside of the lines are more blurred, and the lines inside the box are very clear, after the seventh master looked at it for a while, his face gradually showed a smile, holding a magnifying glass to carefully observe the lines in the box, and his face was almost pasted.
After watching it for about ten minutes, the seventh master put down the magnifying glass and said, "Get me some pen and ink, I want to expand the lines in this box!" ”
As soon as I heard it, there was a play! My heart was also happy, and I quickly found the ink and brush, and after the seventh master extended the lines in this box, I was splicing the two rubbings together, and when I looked at it, I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster.
Based on years of experience in inverted buckets, it is inferred that this is indeed a tomb map, but fatally, this map is only half! It's not a complete one!
The seventh master looked at it and smiled, and said, "It seems that this time it is true!" The unicorn eye should be in this ancient tomb! Now I can understand that when the Qing Dynasty arrived, the reason why I paid so much attention to this ancient tomb was not because the artifact inside was valuable, but because of the unicorn eyes! What the Emperor wants is a unicorn eye! ”
I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Seventh Master, why are you so sure that there are unicorn eyes in this tomb?" ”
The seventh master laughed, put away the tomb map on the table, and said to me, "There is a way to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to find, it takes no effort to get it, to be honest, there are five maps in total, we see now that this one is only one-fifth of the entire map, and the other four maps are all in Boss Jin's place, over the years, he has really spent a lot of effort for this last map!" Now I've finally found it. ”
I saw that the seventh master looked extremely excited, and it didn't seem to be fake, but at this time I began to wonder in my heart again, Since the map in our hands is only one-fifth of the entire map, that is to say, four-fifths of the maps are all in the hands of Boss Jin, if this is the case, Boss Jin can at least know the location of this ancient tomb, but why would he enter the wrong ancient tomb?
Regarding this question, the seventh master explained, "Bai Yu, don't you know the power of the Five Elements Technique, although there are five maps of this kind, each one is very special, and it is also very independent, even if Boss Jin has four fifths of the map, but it is impossible to determine the specific direction, this map is not to say that it has obtained four-fifths, even if it is all obtained, it is not possible to lack a corner, let alone accurate judgment, and even the vague general outline cannot be deduced!" ”
Saying that, the seventh master picked up the spliced map rubbing, looked at it carefully, and kept laughing while looking at it, and after being happy for a while, the seventh master let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's time to find the golden fat man and let him return our favor!" ”
For me and the seventh master, after learning the specific whereabouts of Qilinyan, I didn't want to stay for a minute, and even forgot to inform Huzi and Wang Chuyi, in a hurry, rushed to Beijing overnight, Boss Jin's antique store, after indicating his intentions, Boss Jin was unexpectedly generous, and without saying a word, he took out the other four maps.
In Boss Jin's underground vault, the three of us worked together to complete the stitching of the entire map, and when a whole tomb map was completely displayed in front of our eyes, I almost wanted to cry with excitement. Now that it is about to come true, the excitement in my heart is indescribable.
Boss Jin may have seen the two of us excited, and hurriedly said, "Hey, I said you two, don't get excited and let it flow out again, I only have this one of the four maps, and there is no wooden box to rub the book, in case it is broken, it will be all over, hurry up and take pictures!" ”
After such a reminder from Boss Jin, Seventh Master and I hurriedly took out our mobile phones and took pictures of the entire map.
Later, Boss Jin took the map back into the vault.
In fact, after this map was taken by me and the seventh master, it is already worthless, the reason why Boss Jin took the map back to the vault again, mainly because of two points, the first is that he thinks there are feelings, it is not easy for him to collect these maps, and today he finally got it together, and his heart is inevitably excited.
The second is because this ancient tomb is too dangerous, in case the seventh master and I don't come back alive, the map of this ancient tomb will become very valuable again! Assuming we don't leak the map, of course.
After returning to the office from the vault, Boss Jin arranged for the help to bring coffee and drinks, and invited us to sit down, inevitably with a cold heart, asking me and the seventh master's body, how was this time going, and other polite words, without mentioning the matter of this map.
In the end, the seventh master couldn't sit still, and said, "Golden fat man, we lack weapons and equipment, we need to borrow some from you, in exchange, first, I will not leak the information of this map, and second, after the unicorn eye comes out, I don't want it, just use him to solve the 'curse', and the unicorn eye will be sold for you for money!" ”
After listening to the words of the seventh master, Boss Jin laughed, stood up, and said, "It's still the seventh master!" Deal! ”
