The blurry photograph showed a mural of a human figure with a monster-like figure dressed in strange robes and surrounding a coffin, as if performing some kind of ritual.

It is not uncommon to see animal heads in ancient art, but most of them exist in the form of statues, and it is very rare to appear on murals.

In those places where dragon eggs were found, we had seen many murals and sculptures of beast-headed human bodies, and even monsters with animal heads and human bodies that could move.

In a way, I suspect that the beast-headed human body is a subtle correspondence with the human yearning for eternal life or rebirth.

So, this photo of the mural is a very important clue for us.

Hearing Mr. Cui mention the ghost market in Luoyang, I frowned and re-observed the photo.

In a place like a ghost market, there is no shortage of counterfeit products, and besides, this is just a photo, not an antique, so it should have no value, how can it be taken to the ghost market to sell?

Mr. Cui explained that this photo is just a piece of evidence that the other party is going to sell, not a fixed thing, but a message, about the location of a mysterious ancient tomb.

I was shocked in my heart, frowned and asked, "Where is the ancient tomb, is that seller reliable?" ”

Mr. Cui shook his head and said, "I'm not particularly sure now, so I came to you, hoping that you can come with me to talk to that person." As for whether this news is true or not, whether you want to believe it or not, we had better discuss and decide together. ”

I looked down at the photograph again, hoping to be the first to determine its authenticity, as I suspected that it might be computer-composited.

The center of the photo is bright, giving a small area a bright white light and shadow at the edges of the photo. From that position outward, the light became dimmer and dimmer.

Perhaps because of the light, the whole picture is very blurry, and the pixels are so low that I can't see some of the details.

It seems that this photo is very real and does not look like there is a possibility of fakery.

However, I was still worried that this photo was deliberately drawn and then taken.

Mr. Cui seemed to see that I was a little worried, so he pretended to smile lightly and said, "Just go and have a look, there is nothing to lose." If it's not right, we'll just run for nothing at most. If this is true, then it is likely to be a very valuable clue for us. ”

He had a point, and after a moment of thought, I nodded in agreement.

"When are you leaving?" I asked Mr. Cui.

Mr. Cui said: "Of course, the sooner the better, my side can move at any time, it's up to you to do it." ”

I said, "Okay, let's go now, I'll take Fat Liu with me here." ”

Mr. Choi said, "In addition to me, there is Park Kim Kwon, who is in charge of driving. Park Kim Kwon, do you remember? ”

I nodded and said, "I know, that defector." By the way, what about the GIs? ”

"He's already over there, and he's sent me the picture." Mr. Choi replied.

After the discussion was confirmed, I hurriedly went upstairs to pull Liu Fatzi out of his dream, and then hurriedly left the villa with Mr. Cui and got into the car.

In the car, Mr. Cui told me that the other party was very cautious, only gave the soldier a photo, and asked us to go to the ghost market to talk to him face to face, and did not even tell us his address and contact information.

I smiled and said, "Anyone who does this business will be very cautious." It's fine if you're alone, but if you have family, you're worried about being involved, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"I'm worried about whether he'll sell that place to someone else, or if he'll stop going to the ghost market if there's something going on," Mr. Choi said. ”

I thought about it, shook my head and said, "People who go to the ghost market, except for those who sell things, are to buy things, and no one will be interested in a piece of news, after all, there is too much risk in it." I dare say that no one but us will be interested in him. ”

Mr. Cui said: "I don't know much about your industry, so I may be too worried. ”

I said, "Actually, what you're worried about is not wrong, there are some people in our circle who specialize in stepping on points and make money by selling us the location of ancient tombs." These people never go into the tomb themselves. However, it can be seen from this photo that the other party has entered the ancient tomb, and he went to a place like a ghost market to sell news, which shows that he really can't find a way to sell. ”

Along the way, Fat Liu, who had a hangover last night, kept sleeping, and Mr. Cui and I kept discussing the authenticity of the news, and later talked about some miscellaneous matters. Park Kim Kwon didn't understand what we were saying, so he just drove there honestly.

I think Mr. Cui also really dares to use people, a North Korean defector, whether he has an ID card or not is a problem, not to mention a driver's license, if he is stopped by the traffic police, it will definitely be very troublesome.

But fortunately, we ran all the way down at high speed, and Park Jinquan's car drove very steadily, which did not cause us any trouble.

After arriving in Luoyang, we contacted the GI and learned that the GI had already opened the room for us.

After eating, we went back to our rooms to rest, and when the time was up, we drove to the ghost market.

In the hotel room, Liu Fatzi, who had slept all the way, suddenly came to his senses, he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at me who was smoking, and said, "Fifth brother, don't look at me in the car as if I was sleeping......

"Are you snoring, or do you still seem to be sleeping?" Because things are progressing, I'm in a good mood, so I'm willing to joke with him.

Fat Liu rubbed his fat face with some embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Oops, there is no harm if you don't expose it." But to be honest, fifth brother, I still heard a lot of what you said to the person surnamed Cui. Listening to his words, it shouldn't seem like he made it up, but I'm worried that he was deceived. It doesn't matter if he's deceived, but he'll hurt us. ”

I said, "Actually, we both have the same worries, but isn't it that we haven't made a final decision yet?" Find that person first. ”

Fat Liu stood up, glanced at the time, with a flattering smile on his face, and asked me while raising his eyebrows at me: "Fifth brother, I think it's still early for the ghost market to open, do you want to find a bar to have a good time?" To be honest, I haven't eaten meat in a long time. ”

I frowned and said, "Which meal is missing your meat, why haven't you eaten meat for a long time?" ”

Liu Fatzi smiled and said, "Haha, this meat is not another meat, fifth brother, you know." ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't understand." You like to play, in fact, I shouldn't care, but we're here to do business, I only brought you here, I don't want anything wrong with you. ”

"Oh, if you don't go, you won't go." Liu Fatzi muttered unhappily.

While waiting, the time soon came to eleven o'clock in the evening.

A few of us met in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and then drove to the location of the ghost market.
