Chapter 6: The Middle Palace
"Well, you win!"
Zhang Shaojiao opened the car door, slowly got out of the car, and asked Ye Qing in a questioning tone
"So what do you say now?"
"You are the orthodox heir, you know what to do, I'm just a spare tire, and I have been fired a long time ago, and your education is higher than mine."
"If you admit it, then why stop me."
"I asked you because you are higher than me in terms of cultivation, but I stopped you because we are brothers, and besides, I am your brother, I will never let you take this risk, even if we don't have this relationship, I won't let you go, because, in this world, there must be Yin and Yang envoys to undertake the great cause, is it difficult? Mortal cultivation to become refined has to collect the heavenly thunder tribulation, and it is normal for low-end creatures like people to become big things and suffer some big crimes. “
"Forget it, I'm not as good as you after all, I just want to know what to do in the future."
"There will always be a way, and now you have done a good job, after all, this thing has not been recorded for hundreds of years, but since the ancient people can pass the test, then why can't we? Let's go, first follow me back to Qing Xuanju (the name of Ye Qing's antique shop), there are many people and great strength, although '''"
"Although some people are not sure, but there is no way, just do what you said, Qingxuanju was also created by the elders after all, maybe it can give us some help."
Zhang Ye and the others returned to the car again, drove to the city center and arrived in front of the tallest building in the city, on which were hung several golden typing - Time Group.
Founded in the early 19th century, although it is called Time Group, it is not a company in charge of technology, on the contrary, it is a medicinal material department, and it is the largest medicinal material company in the province and city. And Zhang Shaojiao is the third-generation boss of Time Group.
The car stopped under the door of the Time Group, but instead of entering the group, the two turned to a nearby street. Although it is not too far from the group, it still has several twists and turns, and finally arrives in front of a quaint old building. The nomination on the face of the building door is - Qing Xuanju.
Qingxuanju is a very special antique shop, and the antiques in it are never sold, no matter who the other party is, and no matter how the other party is born. The antiques in here are just for people to see, not even to touch them, as the fourth-generation shopkeeper Ye Qing also follows the old tradition, only charging a dollar for the entrance fee. Because of the reverence for antiquities and the low cost of tickets, Qingxuanju is also overcrowded every day, and Ye Qing can get a lot of benefits here. As for why things are not touched, only Zhang Shaochang and Ye Qing know, but the two have not explained much. But people don't dare to touch the things here, one is because most of the people who come are elegant, more disciplined, and have quality. The second reason is that people have indeed heard of tourists who do not listen to the advice and are tossed around, although people do not believe in evil, but people have always maintained the lessons of their predecessors, and they are respectful of antiques, so it has become a tradition.
The two entered Qingxuanju, Zhang Shaoyu was sitting at the table visible from the door, and when he saw the two coming back, Zhang Shaoyu did not look surprised at all, as if the return of the two of them was expected by himself. Zhang Shaoyu took out two teacups from the lattice, poured a cup of hot tea for the two, and brought two chairs to beckon the two to sit down, before he began to ask how the situation was. Ye Qing didn't speak this time, and Zhang Shaojiao also drank a cup of tea before sighing.
"Hehe, what are you afraid of?"
"Why, did you run into their people?"
"No, but it's pretty much the same."
"What do you mean?"
"We came across something that only they would use—a wooden sarcophagus."
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoyu also seemed to be stimulated by something, jumped up from the chair, walked to the window, looked at the sunset that was quietly falling, and turned around after a long time.
"Sure enough, did they start to act, how could that be."
"Don't worry, there's no way to be in a hurry," Ye Qing, who was originally also sad, finally spoke, "Why don't you talk to them and let them think of a way together?"
"It's better to know less about this matter, after all'''
"But it can't be helped, sometimes our thinking is not as good as ordinary people."
Zhang Shaoyuan glanced at Ye Qing, lowered his head again, and said slowly after a long time
"No way, so be it. But we must not reveal too right, especially "Shao Yu, you should also pay attention." “
Zhang Shaoyu nodded and looked at Zhang Ye and the others with his eyes, and finally, the eyes of the three of them were intertwined - action.
The three of them gently walked to the hut where Zhang Tang and the two were arranged, and knocked on the door where the two were located.
"Zhang Meng, Tang Ke, have you slept? I didn't get out of my sleep, so I'll talk to you about something. “
A few seconds later, the door opened, and Zhang Tang and the others stood at the door sleepily, looking at the three of them in confusion. Zhang Shaojiao made a gesture to follow, and then took Erniang to a very dark room underground, the room was not only dark and damp, but there was not even a little electrical appliance, so that everyone came in with candles, and only a few more oil lamps in the house. Although the house was broken, the things inside looked very valuable, and most of them were calligraphy and paintings, and one of them immediately attracted the attention of Zhang and Tang.
This font is elegant and gorgeous, bold and brings out a kind of caution, the handwriting is smooth, like flowing water, and then look at the payment, it turned out to be Wang Xizhi! Zhang Shaoyu didn't look back, just stood in place, looked at another calligraphy and painting on the wall that couldn't see the article, and said to the two
"Don't look at it, fake!"
The two came back to their senses and continued to look at the words with suspicious eyes, only to find that they did look a little like Wang Xizhi, but it obviously seemed a little too new.
When the two came back to their senses, Zhang Shaomao and Ye Qing had already entered the inner room with the lamp, and there were only a few oil lamps left in the side room that emitted a little dim light. The two didn't dare to delay, and they all hurriedly followed Zhang Shaoyu into the inner room. There is still no electrical equipment in the inner room, and the only light source is a few long letter lamps on the wall.
Following the guidance, the two sat by a stove, looking at the remaining three people on the edge of the stove, the three of them had almost the same expression, and to their surprise, Zhang Shaoyuan, who had never smoked, was holding a cigarette like Zhang Shaoyu and Ye Qing.
"Shao Yuan, are you ready?"
Zhang Shaojiao didn't speak, just nodded, and then spit out a smoke ring very unskillfully, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it with his feet. After looking around, he looked at Zhang Tang and the others, and then lowered his head to look at the fire in the stove.
"You may have to take in something you've never been exposed to next. But either way, welcome to this place first. “
"What the hell is this place, I don't even know?"
"Don't say you two don't know, even I'm here for the first time, and I've only heard Brother Ye Qing say it before. Not to mention, it really feels like here. “
Zhang Shaoyu said. Zhang Shaochang stood up, closed his eyes, chopped his feet, and didn't know what he was talking about before he slowly opened his eyes.
"Here, this is my middle palace, the entity middle palace."
