Professor Zhang looked a little distressed, touched his head that was close to baldness, and said to Tan Jia suspiciously: "With such a result, I suspect that the polygraph is wrong, otherwise, it means that the data file has grown wings and flies." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Tan Jia pondered for a moment and said, "Only this kind of explanation, it seems that things are not easy to do!" She turned back to us and said, "You are not allowed to leave this villa until the matter is clear, without my approval, so that you can be investigated at any time." ”

The matter came to an end for the time being, and the feeling of being treated as a thief could finally disappear, and we couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day, several people were sent from above to interrogate us suspected people one by one, make a record, and secretly investigate for more than ten days. But it's a pity that a month later, the above still didn't find out who the mole was, and in the end this matter was the only thing to do.

But since the theft of the documents, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Professor Sun and Tan Jia have been guarding against us, and many important things are being carried out in secret, and we will not be asked to discuss them at all as before.

At this time, Biaozi was also discharged from the hospital, knowing that at the end of the year, he could be completely freed, this guy was crazy with happiness, and immediately sent Liu Feiyu away, and made an appointment to celebrate the New Year in Beijing at the end of the year. Although Liu Feiyu was reluctant, he had no choice but to give up the short-term separation and wait for the return of the target in Beijing.

After sending Liu Feiyu away, Biaozi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't have to worry about Liu Feiyu being dragged into the troubled waters of the scientific research team. But at the same time, he said with some confusion: "Lao Yang, what will you do after I leave?" ”

Although there is still a period of time on the day of Biaozi's departure, I have begun to have reluctance in my heart, but what can I do, I can't ask Biaozi to stay with a clear conscience, right? I said, "If you can go one, it's one, and as for me, I'll find a way to slip away later." ”

I held back in the villa for a month, didn't go anywhere, and drove people crazy, on this day, under the resolute protest of me and Biaozi, Tan Jia seemed a little helpless, so she had to let the two of us go out for a while.

The most familiar place of the mark is naturally the old street of Changsha, he has been there for three years, and he knows everything about any place in that area.

When I arrived at the old street, I watched my antique shop turn into a massage parlor, and the sign was a little bitter, if I hadn't pulled him hard, this guy would have to go in and relax for a while.

Finally, after taking a look at the store, the label sighed and said: "I have been operating this market for three years, and finally laid the foundation, but I didn't expect that after a few months, everything would be in vain." ”

I patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "No way, it's already a fact, just look at it." Besides, isn't Liu Sanye worse than you, the gold medal chain store that has been in business for decades has now become a mahjong parlor and a reading hall. ”

Biaozi looked back and thought about it, and also felt that it was like that, and smiled easily: "Yes, how can life always be smooth sailing, the ups and downs of life is the road of cattle, we are all cattle, so we are destined to endure these bumps." ”

As if thinking of something, he smiled at me and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to an old friend, whether you can make a comeback next year depends on him." ”

I was a little curious, thinking to myself, is this kid looking for someone to borrow money, planning to open another antique store next year? But I didn't ask these words. We followed the sign all the way to the front, and at an intersection, we stopped at the door of an antique shop.

The area of this antique shop is 200 square meters, which is half the size of the store in the label, and the interior decoration is very luxurious, and it looks very magnificent. But it was very deserted inside, only one or two customers dangling there, I don't know if they really wanted to buy something, or if they came to see the oddity.

As soon as we entered, a young man came over from the shelf, he obviously recognized the mark, and immediately smiled: "Yo, what kind of wind blew the marker, what a rare guest." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that Brother Biaozi and Liu Sanye recently made a big deal, sold the storefront, and went to Beijing Panjiayuan to develop, is this true?" ”

As he walked inside, he shook his head and sighed, "Hey! Not to mention, if I go to Beijing for development, what the hell will I go to the United States for development? To tell you the truth, our store was seized by the government, and I had a big problem and went to another place to take refuge. ”

The little clerk laughed dryly, and said: "If the old one doesn't go, the new one won't come, just rely on Brother Biaozi's craftsmanship, what is a small façade, just make a fight, you can earn back all the loss fees, don't you say?" ”

Biaozi didn't want to talk to him, and asked, "What about your Master Huang, I made a special trip to find him this time." ”

My heart moved slightly, Master Huang? The old man who investigated the threat letter to us last time, Pan Ye's right-hand man, and the tomb robber who was known as "Ghost Hand Yellow" in the past? I'm a little confused, why did Biaozi come to him today, can Ghost Hand Huang still have money to lend him? Also, isn't Ghost Hand Huang Pan Ye's master, why did he start an antique business now? How unsociable this is.

The little clerk said "oh" and said, "The boss is talking to people about business above, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the negotiation will be completed, do you want me to go up and tell him?" ”

Biaozi shook his head: "Don't say goodbye, I have time, just wait a while." "Led by the little clerk, we went up to a study on the second floor, where we waited for the arrival of Ghost Hand Huang.

Ghost Hand Huang's study is very quaint, there is a large bookshelf on the left, on which no less than a thousand books are placed, they are placed very neatly, there are any types of books, I don't know so many books, Ghost Hand Huang read a few books.

In the corner on the right side of the room, there is an antique shelf made of mahogany, on which there are many antiques, including three-legged copper tripods, large vases carved with dragons and phoenixes, jade snuff bottles, white jade inlaid with beads Ruyi and other items.

After the little clerk left, Biaozi looked at the antiques and said to me enviously: "I can tell you, the things on this are all genuine, if they are sold, it will cost at least 100 million." Of course, I'm talking about the auction price, and if you trade in the black market, then you have to lose at least three layers in the price of these things. ”

I'm almost illiterate when it comes to antiques, so I can't raise my interest in those things, and I don't know anything in my mind, so I ask Biaozi: "By the way, what are you looking for Ghost Hand Huang?" ”

Biaozi turned around and said with a smile: "I don't hide it from you, brother, last time in the haunted house in the desert, I touched a thing by my side, and now I am looking for a ghost hand yellow, just to sell something, leave some capital by my side, so that I can make a fortune in the future." ”

I was taken aback, and immediately asked in surprise, "When I came back, everyone's backpacks and bodies were checked, how did you hide your things?" ”

Biaozi smiled evilly: "It's just a gadget, I put it in the insole, who the fuck is idle to rummage through my stinky shoes!" ”

I said in my heart that too, as far as your stinky feet are concerned, it is estimated that as soon as you take off your shoes, people will run out, and who dares to turn over your insoles without dying. But he asked again: "Is this shop owned by Ghost Hand Huang, or is it owned by Pan Ye, the boss of the rivers and lakes?" ”

Biaozi said: "There is no matter of Pan Ye, this shop was set up by Ghost Hand Huang himself, saying that it was the capital left for his retirement in the future." Besides, Pan Ye is a hero in the underworld, and he doesn't care about it if he wants him to do this, it's not much easier to collect protection money directly. ”

After chatting for a while, the door to the study was opened, and the little clerk who had met us earlier brought three cups of hot tea, placed them on the desk, and told us that Ghost Hand Huang would be coming soon.

Biaozi and I sat on the sofa while drinking tea and chatting, and after a while, Ghost Hand Huang, who was wearing a Tang costume, walked in, and Biaozi and I immediately stood up and said hello to him out of politeness.

Ghost Hand Huang Lian beckoned us to sit down, and said to us with a smile: "The two little brothers have been seeing the dragon recently, they haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they don't know where they went to make a fortune. ”

Biao Zi said with a smile: "Master Huang, you always talk and laugh, just rely on your and Pan Ye's ears and eyes, can you still not know what happened to me?" Let's not mention those bad things, today I came to find you, Master Huang, I have something to ask you for. ”

Ghost Hand Huang took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Just by virtue of our relationship, the word "please" will be exempted, let's say, what is the matter?" ”

The mark is not nonsense, he took out a small red cloth bag from his pocket, carefully handed it to the desk of the ghost hand yellow, and said: "Recently, I poured a bucket, and I got this item from it, and it looks good, so I want to take it to you to sell." ”

Ghost Hand Huang had an interested look on his face, he put on a pair of reading glasses, and opened the small cloth bag little by little, and the contents were presented to our eyes.

It was a small gold medal three fingers wide and more than two inches long, with some patterns carved on it, although it was only about two centimeters thick, but both sides were inlaid with red gemstones, and at a glance you knew that it was a precious thing.

After looking at it for several minutes, Ghost Hand Huang looked puzzled, and said to the marker: "This gold medal is finely made, and it is inlaid with gemstones, even if the value of antiques is put aside, it is also a rare treasure." However, the pattern on this gold medal is very strange, forgive my eyes, I really can't tell which dynasty it is, but judging from the quality, I estimate that it is at least a thousand years ago. ”

The standard did not play tricks in front of Ghost Hand Huang, nodded and said: "This gold medal is at least sixteen hundred years ago, and it was really said by you, this thing is really not a thing from the Central Plains, and it is not hidden from you, this thing was found from a tomb in the ancient country of Loulan, and it has extremely high research value, and I worked hard to get it." ”

Ghost Hand Huang showed an expression that was the same, he seemed to be interested, and he took the gold medal again and looked at it. After looking at it for a while, he turned his head and asked, "It's really a good thing, I gave you an estimate, it can be sold for at least five million dollars, but you have to know the goods to do it, do you really plan to make a move?" ”

Biaozi said without thinking: "Recently, I have been poor and crazy, and I can't keep good things, so I have to make a move, but don't worry, after the thing is done, we will definitely not forget your hard work." ”

Ghost Hand Huang waved his hand and said: "It's just a convenient thing, and it's too much to talk about hard work." What's more, you have sent a lot of good things to me and Pan Ye over the years, and with this friendship, my old man can't forget his righteousness. ”

We chatted with Master Huang for a while, and the matter was finally finalized, as long as the things were sold, Master Huang would call the standard to come over and get the money as soon as possible. Maybe it was out of enthusiasm, or maybe it was just contrived, Master Huang said that he would leave us at home for a light meal, saying that it was Lala's home.

However, I was politely rejected by me and Biaozi, for the simple reason that we only had one day off and really didn't want to waste time on a meal.

After some excuses, the two of us finally went downstairs, and Master Huang also sent them all the way out of politeness. But just as the two of us were about to step out of the door of the antique store, my eyes inadvertently glanced at the back of an antique shelf, and found an antique painting.

I immediately stopped the sign that was about to walk out of the door, pointed to the painting behind the antique shelf and said, "Brother, wait a minute, look at that painting, is it a little familiar, it seems that you have seen it somewhere?" ”

Biaozi was naturally curious, turned his head to look, and like me, his face changed suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Damn, it's really a snake man." ”

That's right! The ancient painting depicts two snake men, a man and a woman, gathered around a bonfire, their hands raised above their heads, as if in prayer. The shape of those two snake men is almost exactly the same as the basilisk we saw in Guloulan, so I will feel familiar.

Ghost Hand Huang was about to return upstairs, but when he saw the two of us stop again, his face was slightly curious, and he came over and asked, "What, the two little brothers have changed their attention and want to have a homely meal here with me?" ”

I shook my head, pointed to the painting hanging on the wall, and asked Ghost Hand Huang, "Master Huang, where did you get that ancient painting, and what is the way out?" ”

Following my gaze, Ghost Hand Huang immediately laughed and said to us: "Oh, you said that picture of Fuxi Nuwa, it doesn't hurt to tell you, it's a fake, but the copy is quite good, so I bought it back." Why, did the two brothers fall in love with that painting? If that's the case, I'll give it to you. ”

It turned out to be a picture of Fuxi Nuwa, no wonder it was the shape of a human head and a snake body, if I hadn't gone to Guloulan, I would have seen this painting, I would have laughed, and I would have thought that the half-human and half-beast shape of Fuxi and Nuwa was just the result of the reverie of later generations, because I would never believe that people would have snake-like bodies.

However, after seeing Gu Loulan's basilisk, my thoughts disappeared completely, and now when I see this picture of Fuxi Nuwa, I suddenly set off a shocking wave in my heart, because I would never believe that my ancestors would be a pair of basilisks.

A terrible question suddenly occurred to me in my heart, if the matter between Fuxi and Nuwa was true, then could the basilisks we saw in Guloulan be their descendants? Could it be that Fuxi and Nuwa are not the ancestors of human beings at all, but the ancestors of snake people, but the ancients made a mistake about their ancestors?

This seems a bit absurd, although the civilization of the ancients was not as strong as it is now, but it was not so backward as to admit that their ancestors were mistaken, so the only explanation is that we and the basilisk are fundamentally the same origin, but part of it is biased towards the appearance of snakes, and the other part is biased towards the appearance of people.

Seeing the two of us staring at the painting and being silent for a long time, Ghost Hand Huang turned back to the little clerk and said, "Go, take that painting down." ”

Biaozi and I reacted at this time, Biaozi stopped the little clerk, turned back to the ghost hand Huang and said, "Master Huang, we understand your kindness, but we really didn't take this painting anymore, so we won't take it." ”

Saying goodbye to Ghost Hand Huang, we didn't take a ride back to the villa, and on the way, Biaozi suddenly asked me, "What do you think?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "If the ancient legend is true, then it is very likely that the basilisk of Gu Loulan is the descendants of Fuxi and Nuwa, and it is very likely that we are too?" ”

Biaozi obviously thought of this as well, so he didn't show surprise, just nodded heavily, and then said, "Do you remember those patterns we saw on the gate of the Loulan tomb group?" ”

Seeing that I nodded, he continued: "There are not only human heads and snake bodies, but also tiger head human bodies, leopard head human bodies, and water monkeys, and I feel that those things are all legendary things." However, through the picture of Fuxi Nuwa that I saw in Ghost Hand Huang today, I think that things may not be what we imagined, and it made me think of many characters from ancient legends at once. ”

I felt a slight pang in my heart, and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that those people you think of are half-humans and half-beasts?" "There was a chill in my back.

Biaozi nodded and said, "For example, Emperor Yan Shennong is half-human and half-beast. I don't know if you've noticed, whether it's a statue or an ancient painting, Emperor Yan has two horns on his head, which is called "dragon horn", but in fact, it's just a sheep's horn. The current archaeologists explain that the Shennong clan worships the dragon, so its totem is the image of the dragon, and the descendants are unknown, so the shape of the dragon is added to the head of Emperor Yan, proving that he is the descendant of the dragon. But do you think the archaeologists' explanation is reasonable? ”

I have seen the statue of Emperor Yan Shennong more than once, but the most profound one is in the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan in Hengshan, Hunan. The description of the label is not wrong, and on the head of that statue, there is indeed a pair of long horns that look like a dragon but not a dragon, and a sheep but not a sheep. At that time, I also felt very strange why my ancestor was this image, but at that time I was very naïve, and I didn't understand it after thinking about it for a long time, so I didn't think much about it.
