After living at my second aunt's house for more than two months, I have gained a lot of weight, and my belly has also been rounded. I thought that this was the end of the matter, but as soon as I arrived at the shop, before I could make a pot of hot tea, Nangong Ruomo walked in, and I thought that the first one to find would be a pangolin. When I entered the shop, she didn't politely find a chair and sat down. I had to watch her quietly and wait for her next step.

She pulled out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them at me, saying to me, "Where have you been all this time?" ”

I looked at Nangong Ruomo with some doubts, and replied honestly: "I offended the pangolin, so I had to hide in the field for a while." As he spoke, he began to look through the photos. When I saw the second photo, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak anymore.

The first photo is of a pangolin, he is injured, but I am not surprised. For people like him who lick blood from the knife edge, "seeing red" is a common thing, although he is the boss of the gang, but the bullets are not high and low. The second picture is of a dead man, and this person I know is one of the four King Kongs. And then the third, fourth, and the last one were all close-ups of corpses, several of which I could recognize as the people who had kidnapped me. Suppressing the uneasiness in my heart, I said to Nangong Ruomo: "These are pangolin people? ”

Nangong Ruomo nodded and said to me: "That's right, there are a total of 53 people in the pangolin gang, except for the boss who was injured, the rest of the people are all here." ”

I swallowed my saliva and said to Nangong Ruomo with a wry smile: "You won't suspect that I did it, right?" ”

Nangong Ruomo looked at me and said, "I did investigate you, although your foundation is not very clean, but you are not capable of eating pangolins." ”

Listening to her words, I took a deep breath, did she already know about my business? Or is she deliberately cheating on me? With a wry smile, I said to her, "You're kidding, I'm just a small businessman, how dare I fight with those guys?" ”

Glancing at me with some deep meaning, Nangong Ruomo said with a smile: "I don't want to worry about your affairs for the time being, but now this matter has exceeded my imagination, as if there is some invisible energy controlling the direction of the whole incident." And the core of this matter is in my hands, if you can unlock the secret of this thing, I will no longer pursue your business, but you must promise not to do this business in the future. ”

Hearing her words, my heart chuckled, but I still pretended not to understand and smiled at her: "Officer Nangong said that I am a small businessman, and I will definitely not shirk if I can help you." The thing you are talking about is the Eight Treasures Exquisite Shrine mentioned in Liu Lezi's letter? ”

Nangong Ruomo didn't refute me, and said to me: "That's right, you can go to the police station with me now to see that thing." It was a national treasure, and I couldn't bring it out. With that, he stood up and walked outside. I had no choice but to lock the shop and follow her into her police car.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Nangong Ruomo drove the car directly into the parking lot of the police station. This is the first time I have entered the police station, and I am inevitably a little weak in my heart, I smiled at Nangong Ruomo, and said a word that was not nutritious, Nangong Ruomo gave me a blank look and took me into the hall of the police station. After several formalities, we entered the room where the evidence was kept. When we entered, an old man with gray hair was holding a magnifying glass and looking carefully at a wooden box on the table that was twice the size of the urn. The wooden box is dark yellow throughout, and there is a slight dark green in the yellow, if you get closer and observe carefully, you will definitely be able to see a golden wire, which is the best golden silk nanmu. Could it be that this is the legendary Eight Treasures Exquisite Shrine? The hexagonal body of the box is set on a round base, and the conical ridge apex line is extremely smooth. There are many parts in the whole shrine, and the carving is extremely exquisite, but there is no trace of splicing from the outside. Although there are not a few ancient pieces I have seen, this thing can definitely rank in the top three, and it is definitely the first in terms of refinement.

Just as I was stunned as I looked at the shrine, the white-haired old man spotted us. Nangong Ruomo patted me on the shoulder and called out to her uncle, and then introduced me to her uncle. Through Nangong Ruomo's introduction, I knew that this white-haired old man's name was Li Muhao, and he was a professor in the archaeology department of a university. And I became a folk collector in Nangong Ruomo's mouth. Li Muhao shook my hand very politely, and then said to me, "I wonder if Mr. Hou knows any Buddhist allusions?" ”

I know that almost all of these intellectuals have one problem, and that is pride. In fact, he doesn't have the slightest malice, but this arrogance has gone deep into his bones, and he will unconsciously bring it out in his usual habits. smiled and said to Li Muhao: "Professor Li is polite, I know a little bit about all kinds of gadgets, but where do you dare to get an axe in front of you." ”

Li Muhao was slightly proud, but then sighed and said: "This Eight Treasures Exquisite Shrine has a strange shape, I can't see its origin at all, as if there is no such record in the literature." ”

Listening to Li Muhao's helpless words, I was faintly amused in my heart, this is almost the common problem of these intellectuals, everything hopes to be found in the classics, if there are some things that are not in the book, they will be helpless immediately. While I was polite to Li Muhao, I slowly approached the treasure shrine. Seeing the treasure shrine up close, I was even more impressed by its delicacy, although this golden silk nanmu is rare but definitely not the best wood, but the production skills of this treasure shrine can definitely make this ancient piece rise more than one grade.

On the pillar of the shrine there are a few words written in ancient Tang Chinese: detached from people, and bury the sea of suffering. Death and life are at the bottom of Kunlun, and people go to Buddha and come. In my years of experience, studying Buddhist sayings is a lot of nonsense, and some sentences that you think are esoteric are actually trying to argue whether you should eat one bowl of rice or two bowls of rice tonight. So sometimes if you don't know the scene of this revelation, even if you guess it's useless. The first two sentences of these four verses are easy to say, but they are nothing more than some exclamation sentences. In the last two sentences, does the death and life of Kunlun mean that you have to die or live at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain? Then this monk is too a**, right? People come to the Buddha by themselves, and the Buddha will come when people leave? Could it be that this Buddha likes to play with people Tibetan cats? How can there be such a boring Buddha in this world?

Li Muhao saw me studying those few sentences, and stepped forward and asked, "What did Brother Hou see?" ”

I laughed in my heart, if I hadn't known the details of this treasure shrine, I really wouldn't have seen anything for a while. I pretended to think about it, and pretended to be uncertain and said: "The text of this revelation should be an object from the Tang Dynasty, and the font should be something from the Wu Zhou Dynasty, but the age of the Tang Dynasty is too chaotic, and I really can't tell the difference." This sentence was extremely well-behaved, that is, he told the origin of this treasure shrine, and left a word for the other party to be able to pick up, so that he would not be too embarrassed.

Sure enough, Li Muhao clapped his hands and said to me: "That's right, I studied it for a long time, and I guessed that it was an antique from the period of Wu Zhouguang's house to the early years of Zai." I didn't expect you to be able to tell its year after just a few glances, so what do you think is the origin of this treasure shrine? Seeing that I could tell the origin of this treasure shrine, Li Muhao finally put away his arrogance. To be honest, as long as they are recognized, these intellectuals are extremely easy to get along with.

I pretended to be puzzled and replied, "This is naturally an eight-treasure exquisite shrine, which is used to hold the Buddha bone house of ancient monks. ”

Li Muhao then asked, "Then have you ever seen that this treasure shrine is the remains of a monk?" ”

I looked at the shrine and wondered if I should tell him where it came from. If I tell him, I guess he will have to ask me the reason for my judgment, and it will be difficult for me to make it up at that time. I said quietly, "I'm afraid I'm sorry for this, I can't see its origin yet." Have you ever had the outer wrap of this tabery? "Generally, there will be a protective wooden box on the outside of this precious treasure shrine, and the wooden box will be engraved with the life deeds of the owner of the Buddha bone relic.

Li Muhao looked at me with a smile and said, "If there was that thing, I wouldn't be meditating here." ”

Just when Li Muhao and I were talking here, Nangong Ruomo's phone suddenly rang. She listened to the phone for a while, looking a little annoyed, and from time to time she said something aloud to the other side of the phone, occasionally giving one or two orders, and after a while, she hung up.

Nangong Ruomo came over with a frown and said to me, "During this time, you have to be careful. ”

After hearing this, my heart tightened, and after thinking about it, there was only one person in the police station who could have anything to do with me, and looked at Nangong Ruomo and said, "What happened to the pangolin?" ”

Nangong Ruomo nodded and said, "Well, he was originally recuperating in the hospital, and we had a few colleagues who were there to guard day and night. But just now my colleague called and said he had run away, and I think he's probably going to look for you when he comes out. ”

I said helplessly: "It's a blessing and not a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." He's not doing well right now, and he won't necessarily come to me. As I spoke, I thought to myself: Even if he comes to me, he is only a light commander now, and I am not necessarily afraid of him.

Nangong Ruomo seemed to know what I was thinking, and said with some seriousness: "Don't think that the pangolin will be taken lightly now that it has no subordinates. He can single-handedly form such a large tomb robber gang in three years, which is more than enough if he wants to deliberately deal with you. ”

Somewhat unconvinced, I asked, "So what should I do?" ”

Nangong Ruomo frowned and thought about it, and said, "Otherwise, you will live with me first in the next few days." I'll go back to you when I catch the pangolin. ”

I struggled to keep myself from swallowing, looked at her and said, "Is there such a good thing? ”

Nangong Ruomo snapped her fingers and said with a smile: "It's a good thing, if you don't want to turn it into a bad thing." After saying that, he looked at me with a sneer.

Suddenly, remembering the situation in the ward, the two sisters cleanly killed the four big men, I lowered my head and stopped looking at her eyes, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I'd better go back to my own house and stay well, I won't come out and walk around if it's okay." ”

Nangong Ruomo nodded and said, "Then let's go, I'll send you home." ”
