The old man's words shocked a few of us, what do you mean that he died in the Yellow River fifty years ago, could it be that it is a ghost standing in front of us now? can see the way he blows his beard and stares, and he is clearly an old man with old strength and weakness.

The old man took a breath and continued: "Later, I was rescued again, and it was not anyone who saved my life, but a huge turtle, the patron saint of the Yellow River!"

Several of us understood the old man's words and couldn't help but laugh.

The old man also laughed a few times, then turned his head to look at the silver box in Li Xiaobai's hand.

"It's a high-quality imitation, and it's very crudely made...... In fact, there really exist in the world that are exactly the same thing, I have seen it with my own eyes, and it was decades ago.

Li Xiaobai didn't have the heart to listen to the old man continue to talk about his old past, so he hurriedly waved his hand and asked, "You...... How do you know this one in my hand is a fake? ”

The old man stroked his beard and explained, "You see this is made of metal, where is the silver, it is clearly alloyed, where is there alloy in ancient times?" And on this surface, there is no slurry accumulated over thousands of years......"

The old man's words were eloquent, and in the end, Li Xiaobai's face turned green, and he was so angry that he threw the "silver box" to the ground.

"This old man, can you go downstairs for a while, I'll ...... I treat you to a cup of tea! ”

There is a tea house next to the first floor of this hotel, and Chen Laosan may have noticed it, so he said so.

The old man looked at Chen Laosan carefully, and asked a little puzzledly, "You...... Do you eat Yellow River rice? ”

Chen Laosan replied respectfully: "The old man really has good eyesight, I have been floating on this river for decades. ”

The old man readily agreed, and we had to go downstairs with us.

After the waiter poured the tea, Chen Laosan went straight to the point.

"Old man, looking at your eye strength, you won't be upside down when you're young, right?"

"Inverted bucket" is a kind of black language in the old society, and to put it bluntly, it is tomb robbery. When the old society couldn't eat, it was forced to do nothing, and it was not very shameful to rob the tomb, but it was not good to say that this business was good.

In the past few decades, China's economy has developed rapidly, coupled with the strict public investigation, there are fewer tomb robbers, even those tomb robbers before, most of them have washed their hands.

The moment the old man heard Chen Laosan's words, he trembled, and without any more explanation, I knew that Chen Laosan was right.

"You...... You really have a bit of eyesight, where do you see it? ”

Chen Laosan said bluntly: "The old man's body is not caused by natural aging, I'm afraid it is...... I'm afraid it's the sequelae left by the corpse poison, right? ”

At this moment, I looked at the old man's expression again, and he nodded slightly, and then smiled.

The conversation lasted for more than half an hour, and in the end, the old man had to say a few words and then rest for a while.

Chen Laosan asked the old man if there was an ancient tomb hidden under the Yellow River.

The old man no longer concealed it, saying that there were ancient tombs, not one or two, but a family tomb group.

This old man's surname was Wei, and he was actually only seventy-three years old, but he was a very famous tomb robber in the neighborhood when he was fifteen or sixteen. Speaking of which, this was 50 years ago, and at that time, the official family Cha Desong was in the business of tomb robbing, and it was when tomb robbers were rampant.

Old man Wei is very arrogant, especially himself, he is bold and bold, and he is young, and he has indeed poured a lot of tombs, and a few are big tombs.

In his own words, this tomb robbery is a profitable livelihood, and the things in the tomb are particularly valuable, a random piece of jade or jewelry is tens of thousands of yuan, and the average people of that era are not poor if they have a few hundred yuan in their hands.

If you come to make money, you will naturally spend money.

At that time, several of them lived a drunken life every day, indulging in the willow lane among the flowers every day, drinking wine, and sleeping beautifully, so they were not at ease.

Lao Wei is the best among the tomb robbers, and he is a frequent visitor under the pomegranate skirt, he said that when he was the craziest, he was the groom at night, and he spent tens of thousands of yuan in a week.

I don't have to worry when the money is spent, because the discovery of an ancient tomb is enough for them to get away with it for a year or two, and when they have no money in their hands, they go to the ancient tomb to withdraw it, just like going to the bank to withdraw money.

As soon as the artifact arrived, he went to the black market to sell it, and in an hour or two, a large amount of money was in hand.

Lao Wei has a good reputation in this industry, and the owners of the black shops are vying to be his voice, and even take the initiative to give him money on credit.

The turning point of things was at the end of the autumn of that year, the largest Fengyue place in Jinan City, the Oiran from the Drunken Flower Building, that is, a woman who was extremely beautiful, at that time the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women was still deep-rooted, and women, especially women in Fengyue places, were actually a kind of dolls.

At that time, Jinan City had such a bad habit, that is, to rob the Oiran, the so-called robbery of the Oiran is to recruit a lot of gentlemen in the case of advance publicity, and then auction the New Year's Eve of the Oiran.

Under normal circumstances, Lao Wei does not like to participate in this kind of "activity", because he does not like shy and inexperienced girls, but likes mature women. That day, the drunken flower building was robbing the oiran, and as soon as Lao Wei inadvertently looked up, he saw the oiran dressed as an old bustard - a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl.

In his words, the girl was simply better than a fairy, petite in stature, and her eyes were full of affection, probably because of her own situation, and her eyes were full of sadness.

Lao Wei can be regarded as a hard-hearted person, the so-called sympathy, has long been eaten by dogs, but at that moment he was moved, and the girl's pity awakened the pity in his heart.

That girl is indeed beautiful! Many rich brothers are scrambling to bid, and even some old perverts who are over half a hundred years old also insert a lever.

In less than ten minutes, the bid reached 20,000.

Twenty thousand! At that time, it was the income of ordinary people's families for decades, was it just to buy a trembling cry and the pleasure of that moment?

O man! It has always been a strange animal.

In the end, the price was 36,000 yuan, and the bidder was a fat man with a fat head and big ears, and his squinting eyes never left the girl's body.

Could it be that a flower is really stuck in cow dung like this? Everyone was sighing, and the young and frivolous old man Wei couldn't stand it, and he was impulsive, shouting, "I'll give 50,000."

50,000 dollars to buy Oiran for New Year's Eve? And the people began to talk about him, and they all said that he was crazy.

Old man Wei didn't have that much money in his hand, but the proprietress of the drunken flower building believed him and brought the money within five days.

Unfortunately, during that time, the tomb he stole was basically eaten up by his brothers, and he didn't step on it for the time being. What to do? And one of them said, "If it doesn't work, go there......

The so-called "that place" is in the Yellow River.

They have long known that there are ancient tombs buried under the Yellow River, but this is limited by difficulty and reverence for the Yellow River, and they have never moved this thought.

He himself knew that there must be something good hidden under the Yellow River, and it must be some ancient tombs that have not been stolen.

Old Wei was heartbroken and said, "Fuck this vote!" ”

They each prepared for a while, and when there was no one around in the early morning, they went down the river after paying homage to the river god.

These people also grew up by the river since they were children, and the water is excellent, and it didn't take long to find an ancient tomb. But how can you rob a tomb under the river? Maybe others can't think of it when they are killed, but after all, Lao Wei at that time was one of the few tomb robbers.

They quietly returned to the shore and quietly returned home, and after dawn, Lao Wei went to the butcher's house where the pigs and cattle were slaughtered, asked for a dozen "urine bubbles", and then bought dozens of large gourds. That night, a few of them relied on sucking the air in the gourd to make a robbery hole, and the specific method Lao Wei did not elaborate.

The design of this tomb is also extremely ingenious, I thought that the water would flow into the tomb along the robbery hole, and then the whole tomb was destroyed, they took away a small part of the artifact at most, but the miraculous thing is that this tomb cave has a waterproof mechanism, and they went into the robbery hole, and they actually showed their heads.

Got air? Everyone was shocked.

The space in the tomb is huge, and the entire tomb wall is made of special materials that cannot be named, like metal, which is extremely hard.

There are more than a dozen burial chambers, varying in size.

With experience, Lao Wei knew that they had found a big tomb this time, and the tomb of this specification was at least at the level of a prince.

Some people may think that I am making a fuss, isn't it just a mere prince's tomb? It's not yet an emperor's tomb.

You must know how many emperors have there been in China's five-year history? And most of the emperor's tombs began to be patronized by tomb robbers in the decades after his death, the most typical is the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the treasure that has been saved for fifty years, and in the end it is not empty?

If it is the tomb of the prince who has not been patronized by tomb thieves, it is also extremely rare, and the treasures in it are not dared to be thought of by ordinary people, nor can they think of it.

They turned around and found that each of the chambers had its own use, some for weapons, some for food, and the most dazzling for them were the gold, silver and jade rooms and the bronze utensils room.

Seeing the gold, silver and jade objects piled up into a hill, how could Lao Wei and them be ecstatic to describe, this is a little strange when they look carefully at some bronze and gold, silver and jade objects, these dark objects are very different shapes, there has never been such a thing in the ancient tomb where they fell.

Lao Wei only went to the fifth grade of primary school, and his education level was not high, so he naturally couldn't understand what age this artifact was, let alone the words and symbols on the bronze artifact, but several of them could understand it.

Of course, this man is long gone.

This person's name Lao Wei didn't say, he seemed to have studied college, and he studied archaeology, and then for some reason he became a tomb robber.

After he saw these gold, silver, jade and bronze objects, he was very serious, picked up a strangely shaped jade ring and said, this is the dragon of the original period, and the dragon totems before the Zhou Dynasty were like this.

Zhou Dynasty? Although Lao Wei did not have a high level of education, he also knew that the Zhou Dynasty was an era older than Qin Shi Huang. In the hearts of tomb robbers, the earliest cultural relics are from the Han Dynasty, especially the Western Han Dynasty, no matter how old the antiques, they actually don't like them.

The man pointed to the inscription on a bronze tripod and said, "This is the golden script, which is a kind of writing between the oracle bone inscription and the modern script."

He tried to identify them, and found that he only knew a few of them, including the word "Ji".

That night they put some of the gold and silver in the "blisters" of pigs and cows, and then returned to the shore the same way.

This time, Lao Wei not only replaced the money owed to Zuihualou, but also had tens of thousands of yuan left.

The proprietress of the drunken flower building is not an ordinary person, after he took a large bag of money, he just smiled slightly, and asked the maid to take him to the "flower picking building"

This "flower picking building" is actually to let the son who won the Oiran break the Oiran. place.

Lao Wei didn't elaborate on what happened that night, but after coughing a few times, he sighed with emotion: The 50,000 yuan is worth it!

It is conceivable that in front of this beautiful and pitiful girl, the man's desire to conquer is completely released.

If it was over, it would have been a good outcome, but the plot didn't go so well.

The next day, just as Lao Wei was holding Oiran and me, several black-clothed people broke in, and they asked Lao Wei where he got these artifacts.

At first, Lao Wei didn't want to say that he was also a little overlord if he was bad, where had he ever been angry, but a few people were not good at stubble, and he couldn't wear it with a few kicks.

Although Lao Wei was angry, he also knew that the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, so he told the story of the tomb robbery.

After several people listened, there was no reaction on their faces, and they took Lao Wei downstairs and got into a black classic car, which drove until it was in front of a large compound in the suburbs, and after taking him into the yard, Lao Wei was stunned.

This yard looks very rough, but it is very high-grade, and the house is carefully decorated.

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Wei saw a very familiar face, this was an old man in his sixties. The so-called familiarity, in fact, is only seen a few times on TV, which is like how a school student can not know his own principal.

How could it be him? He shouldn't be working hard in an office at this time!

Old Wei was brought to the man.

The man just smiled and asked him if he knew himself.

Lao Wei nodded.

The man also said that he had come to him to know about the ancient tomb under the Yellow River.

As soon as Old Man Wei saw that it was this person, the last line of defense in his heart had been broken, in that era, that person was the master of this side!

He recounted the whole process in detail.

In less than an hour, several of Old Man Wei's accomplices were also brought in one after another, and the man was still very polite in his speech, and after some conversation, Old Man Wei finally understood, he wanted Old Man Wei to enter this ancient tomb again, and then take something.

According to the description, it is a bronze vessel that was the alchemy "fairy furnace" of the alchemy of the monks before the time of Qin Shi Huang.

The man asked Old Man Wei to bring out the stove completely, including the contents of it.

What's inside? At that time, Old Man Wei began to wonder, what could be in the furnace thousands of years ago? Could it be roasted sweet potatoes?

The people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and several of them agreed. In return, the man promised to give them a large sum of money as long as he brought them out, and then helped to clear his identity.

That night, two classic cars took them to the river, and then went down the river "accompanied" by four or five people.

Strange things happened, and when he said this, Old Man Wei's face changed, and he let out a long sigh.
