He Jianguo's words are a little strange, why didn't he recognize it as the Queen Mother of the West at the time, but later recognized it? As far as I know, most of the ancient Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are mainly Nyorai, Maitreya and Guanyin, and the rest are also widely worshipped by King Jizo Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva.

But the Queen Mother of the West seems to have rarely heard of people saying that she was cast into a statue of a god to worship.

Suddenly, he whispered in his ear one after another: "The Queen Mother of the West, her appearance is like a human, the leopard tail and tiger teeth are good at roaring, the hoopoe with fluffy hair, and the five remnants of Si Tianzhi." His voice was soft, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

He Jianguo looked at him in surprise and asked, "You know too?" One after another, he hooked the corners of his lips and raised a sarcastic arc: "Since you want to come to the Death Valley of the Kunlun Mountains, can you not check the information clearly?" A search on the Internet shows you all of them. Ancient mythology says that she looks like a man, but with a leopard's tail and tiger teeth, roars and whistles with a voice like a wild beast, and her unkempt hair resembles a striking crown of feathers on the head of a hoopoe, she is a god sent by heaven to rule over plague, disease, death and punishment, and lives in the Kunlun Mountains. ”

He Jianguo's eyes were fixed, and then he said: "You are careful and remember all this." But what I want to say here is not the Queen Mother of the West, but the material of this statue, which is similar to white marble but is harder than it, we are investigating geology, and we are particularly sensitive to this kind of stone, judging from the value of the material, it is definitely more precious than white marble. In addition, there are some bronze artifacts around it, so it is definitely of archaeological value, and it was immediately decided to bring it back for research. A series of things happened later, as you know, and you can't bring it back. ”

After talking so much, I roughly understood, so I asked out loud: "Is it that the white jade Guanyin auctioned by Yan Lao is very similar to the material of you, the statue of the Queen Mother of the West?" He Jianguo replied: "It's not like it, it's the same kind at all." ”

"So you suspect that Elder Yan has also been to this ancient cave?"

"That's exactly what I thought at first." He Jianguo confessed, "I found various ways to get in touch with him, and then slowly made friends with him, and after a few years of getting along, I found that he was secretive about where the white jade Guanyin came from and refused to talk about it, but every other half a year, I could see him take out an object made of that material, and the relationship became closer, and once he was interested in selling me a white jade wrench at a low price." I took it to Lao Han when I went back, and the two of them studied it several times and determined that it was the same texture as the statue of the Queen Mother of Naxi.

Old Han pondered for a few days and called me in and told me his analysis. said that Yan Lao may have been to the ancient cave, and he found more treasures of the same material to snare out; Either there's another place where this material is available, and his auction parts are all post-processed. Because judging from the craftsmanship of the two, there is a difference, but it is not denied that these treasures were cast by two batches of people. Old Han decided to immediately lead the team to this Death Valley, while I continued to negotiate with Yan Lao, trying to get more information out of his mouth. ”

This means that Han Jiancheng's trip to the Valley of Death originated from Yan Lao. Obviously, Yan Lao has never been here, even if He Jianguo didn't say it, only from the reaction he heard about Yan Lao before, it was the first time he had come to this ancient cave.

"Later, what excuse did you use to find Yan Lao to go on this journey?" Asked one after another.

Brother Liang is He Jianguo's son, and he knows better than anyone else what is going on inside, after seeing his father say such a long and slightly panting, he took over the conversation: "Yan Lao's real name is Yan Jiu, and others in that circle respectfully call him the ninth master, and the bottom must be black, but I have investigated, and he has whitewashed his foundation in the past ten years." Even if you participate in the antique auction, it is also in the name of a businessman, but people who are used to the rivers and lakes can't change that habit for many years. Greed is human nature, as long as someone blows the wind in his ear, he will come to the door himself. Since the things he carried on his body are inseparable from this place, he simply did the two things together. ”

I was stunned for a moment when I heard this, what do you mean by doing two things together? Brother Liang smiled and said, "You must think that because of my father, I have lost my conscience and completely forgotten my duty. I might as well tell you honestly, Yan Jiu, I've been staring at him for a long time, and I suspect that he is related to many cases, especially ......" He paused intentionally and accentuated his tone: "It is related to Heizhugou." ”

This time, don't say it's me, even one after another was stunned, and he unconsciously asked: "How can it be related to Heizhugou?" "Things are so bad that I can't get in touch at all. I only heard Brother Liang say: "Do you still remember the fact that groups of people disappeared in Heizhugou and men were locked behind the fence to dig 'gold mines'?" You must not have imagined that it was not a gold mine, it was a golden powder on the surface, but a white hard stone on the bottom, and this stone happened to be the same kind of white jade wrench that Yan Jiu gave to my father. How can there be so many coincidences in this world? ”

"Wait a minute," I was a little dazed when I heard it, and I needed to sort it out, "Just now your father said that the white jade Guanyin in Yan Lao's hand and the white jade wrench sold are of the same material as the statue of the Queen Mother of the West in this ancient cave, and then you now say that it is the same as the ore dug by those people in the black bamboo ditch." One is in this Kunlun Mountain Range, the other is in Heizhugou, and then Yan Lao has never been to Kunlun, which means that all his things come from Heizhugou? Is it processed and manufactured by yourself, counterfeiting thousand-year-old antiques to auction? ”

"I deduced it this way, although I have not seen the statue of the Queen Mother of the West mentioned by my father, but I have taken that jade wrench finger to the antiquities appraiser for identification, the craftsmanship can be described as exquisite, but there is a fatal loophole. The material is harder than diamond, and even if the ancients of a thousand years ago were clever enough to make it into a finished product, it was impossible to be too fine. But the wrench is made of crystal clear, no hair at all, and it has obviously been processed by modern technology. ”

He asked questions one after another: "Even if those are forged antiques, it can't be sure that they were made by Yan Jiu himself, he can buy them from others and sell them." ”

Brother Liang replied: "After learning about these things from my father, I started an investigation into this person, and a few years is enough time to arrange for someone to break into the interior." Even if you can't reach the upper layer, some subtle things are enough to peel back the cocoon and find out the depths. It was found that every six months, there will be a bus from Chengdu to Qucheng. Following this line, it was easy to find this side of Heizhugou, but when I got here, the clue was broken. Their whole system is very strict layer by layer, not that the personnel who enter a certain level can find out everything about the superiors and subordinates, I can't arrange for people to spend a few more years to find out the way to Heizhugou, so I can only intervene by searching for missing persons. ”

After hearing this, he secretly said that Brother Liang's thoughts were really deep, and he obviously didn't know what he said. If Yan Lao really had a relationship with Heizhugou, I would have remembered an incident, which was the long-ago story told by the indigenous men in the ditch.

The most impressive thing in it was the bandit leader, who turned Heizhugou into his own private territory and the local natives into slaves. Extrapolating from the age, it is really similar to this Yan Lao, doesn't it mean that he faded out of Heizhugou to the outside world in the later period.

No one commented much on the matter of Yan Lao, and Brother Liang fell silent after speaking, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a while. I went to look one after another, and he lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, but he noticed that my eyes were raised and he raised an eyebrow at me, intending to ask me something. I don't have anything to do, I just want to see what he plans now, he was dedicated to finding Han Jiancheng before, and now everyone has found it, what does he think?

Actually, I don't think he's mature in thinking about this matter, and if he finds Han Jiancheng, the culprit, can he really kill someone? Obviously, he didn't have this thought, and even when he lost his mind just now and was on the verge of collapse, his knife didn't go down, but stabbed it on the solid stone, breaking his long knife.

This incident is enough to prove that the environment in which he grew up may have been overshadowed by the influence of Lu's father, but it did not turn him into an indiscriminate or vicious person, human nature is the best, and he has never abandoned kindness.

Originally, if someone bites you like a beast, you can't learn to bite back like a beast. It's just that I know that he is not a great good person, and he is not noble enough to laugh at the realm of enmity and hatred, so he must have other plans in his heart. He is the kind of person who will bite you and he will not bite back, but he will break your teeth and even lose all your money.

This kind of personality is very much to my liking, which is why I like him. The world doesn't pay attention to a tooth for a tooth, there should be a more clever strategy.

After seeing my silent silence, he only stretched out his hand and grabbed me beside him, and continued to think about his thoughts. I won't bother him, let his complicated mind be entangled in thoughts.

The long-term peace will eventually be broken, but I didn't expect this person to be Han Dongling. I couldn't figure out her emotional state, one moment she was crazy to kill one after another, and the next moment she looked at him with a sluggish gaze and asked, "How did you find here?" ”

I and I were both stunned, it was reasonable for anyone present to ask, but it was unreasonable for her Han Dongling to ask. Wasn't it she who provided a photo of the poplar forest and led her to find clues one after another? Could it be that it was really as she had guessed before, although she gave the picture one after another, she had never been there herself, so she didn't know that the map was buried under the dead tree.

As soon as the thought turned here, I heard one after another whispering: "Before you leave Golmud, do you have anything left for me?" ”

I heard Han Dongling laugh out loud, but the smile was more ugly than crying, "When you see her in the photo of your traveler, you run around like a madman." Then it will be time for me to wake up to the fact that I no longer have a place in your eyes and hearts. No, it's never been, you completely treat me as a tool, one after another, you are really ruthless enough, use feelings as a tool! ”

When these words came out, there was no expression on his face one after another, but I caught the pain flashing in his eyes.
