The old oil jumped out of the car quickly and suddenly, which caught me off guard, and I didn't think much about it at the time, greeted the old man, and then drilled out of the window, in that kind of car, I couldn't grasp the center of gravity when I jumped down, and after the body landed, I rolled forward violently, and the old man was even more miserable, jumping down in a panic, and his forehead was knocked out of a big bag, and his face suddenly became a bitter melon.

There was only a difference of 20 seconds before and after, the old oilman had not had time to run out too far, this person's body was quite flexible, and he ran fast, on both sides of the farmland was a piece of farmland, one after the other chased for two or three minutes, as the distance between the two sides was closer, the old oilman panicked, and jumped hard, I also held my breath, jumped forward, and by inertia, pounced forward, and threw the old oilman to the ground.

This person made me suffer a small loss, I was very vigilant in my heart, and I shot hard, and I pressed him and punched him, the old oil's movements were sensitive, but his skills were a little worse, although he resisted with all his strength, he was still beaten, and his eye sockets immediately turned black, and he struggled desperately. I snatched the Zhenhe mirror first, and then lifted him up forcefully.

"Brother, brother" The old oilman twisted around like a loach, and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding"

"Who are you, why are you robbing my things!" I added a little more force in my hand, the old oil was in pain, and as soon as my body twisted, I felt that my hand was empty, and he slipped out of his clothes like a golden cicada, and continued to run violently, but I was full of defense, and did not give him any chance at all, and raised my foot to catch him back.

The distance between the two sides was so close, the clothes on the old oilman's body were torn off again, my nose twitched, and I vaguely smelled a very strange smell from him, which was very light, a little earthy, and a little stinky. I'm very sensitive to the smell of corpses, and I think the smell of the old oilman is slightly like the smell of corpses, but not exactly like it. But no matter what, he dared to grab my things halfway and jump out of the car to escape, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"If you're not honest anymore, don't blame me for being poisonous." I squinted my eyes at the old oilman, there were too many wicked people on the river beach, I pretended to be vivid, and my sharp gaze made the old oilman tremble.

The old oilman began to ramble, and the messy words were thrown out one by one, I didn't say a word, listened to his vernacular, and waited until he said almost, pinched his arm and forced, the old oilman couldn't bear this powerful force, the bone joints on his shoulders were rattling, his face immediately turned pale, and the sweat on his forehead came out, and the pain couldn't stand it. This time, he was a little more honest, and said in a whisper that he was pounding ancient goods.

As soon as he said this, I suddenly had a score in my heart, this person seemed to be a tomb robber, especially the extremely faint earthy smell and stench on his body, which exposed his identity.

"The number of roads in your line has changed now? From stealing to robbing? ”

"Brother, I really like this thing, look at the way you look, I won't give it away, my brain is hot" The old oil said pitifully: "Adults don't remember villains, it's not easy for us to go south and north to eat mixed bowls of rice"

"Do you recognize this thing?" I pinched the Zhenhe mirror, shook it in front of the old oilman, and said, "Tell me about it?" ”

"This thing must be something before the Shang and Zhou dynasties, an object from the Three Emperors period in ancient times, I won't hide it from you, it's very valuable." The old oilman looked sincere and explained to me. Although they are not doing the right thing, they have been dealing with antique goods for many years and have a lot of experience. At a glance, it can be seen that the Zhenhe mirror is an antiquity before the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

My heart moved, this old oilman, is really a tomb robber who lives by dumping antique goods? The Zhenhe Mirror has been worn on me for so long, I only know that it is the Ancient Mirror of the Seven Sects that has been passed down from generation to generation, and as for other information, I know very little. The summer before the Shang and Zhou dynasties was originally an era in history when speculation was greater than historical data, let alone the beginning of summer. I thought it would be worth it if I could get a little unexpected gain from the old oilman's mouth.

But the old oilman is very unsteady, and every sentence has to be weighed to determine how credible it is. After a while, I felt that his desire for this Zhenhe mirror was definitely not what the kind of antique collector or second-class dealer should have. This made me very skeptical, and the more I doubted, the more I wanted to figure things out. After going back and forth, I had to use some extraordinary means to force the old oilman to tell the truth.

In the end, the old oil was forced to have no choice, gritted his teeth, and said: "Brother, you are a clear-eyed person, if I keep it a secret, I just won't treat you as a friend, I can talk to you about this mirror, but I have to know where this mirror came from." ”

"Picked up on the riverbank."

"River beach? Yellow River beach? The old oil man was stunned, his eyes rolled a few times, and said: "Brother, we can know each other like this, it is also fate, your kung fu is very good, now there is a deal, we can discuss, you ask about this mirror, to be honest, this bronze mirror, I also see it for the first time today." ”

I didn't speak, but frowned, and after talking for a long time, the old oil man still didn't pay attention, and when he saw that I frowned, lest I get angry, he quickly explained: "Although I only saw this bronze mirror for the first time, I probably know what it is." ”

"What is it?"

"I think it's like a mirror, but it's probably a key." The old oilman smacked his lips.

I'm a little confused, and I'm sure I'm going to ask. After chatting for a while, the old oilman came to his own acquaintion, sat cross-legged on the ground, and chatted with me like a home.

He was indeed a tomb robber, to be exact, a man of water and rice. There are roughly two kinds of tomb robbers on our side, soil rats and water rats, the former can't do work and dig tombs in dry land, and the latter, on the contrary, only look for things in the river. Relatively speaking, it is much more difficult and dangerous to work in the river, but the things that are fished out of the river are basically old and somewhat mysterious antiquities, which are very valuable. Water rats are running around, and they may not be able to do a deal in a year, but as long as they are done, they will eat and drink for a few years.

The old oilman was a water rat, and about a month ago, he was still on the river beach. That time, he and his companions found a very strange place, and the work was like that, and they couldn't let go of any clues, and the two wanted to find out. The business of the water rat is about the same as the business of the door next to the river beach, anyway, they don't see the light, and they always pick the middle of the night when there is no one to do it.

"That place, at the mouth of the old river." Lao Youzi said: "Sometimes in the middle of the night, when you get close to the river, you can hear a burst of knocking sounds. ”

The strangeness on this section of the river was first heard by the sand miners along the river, and it is said that there was something in the river, like a drum, coming out from under the water, and occasionally people walking at night on the river beach once heard it. Lao Youzi and his companion also chose to go over in the middle of the night to check, but the two of them had just arrived near the strange river channel, and they were stunned for a moment.

That section of the river has always been occupied by sand miners, and at night, the river is quiet. In the clear moonlight, the two of them saw that there seemed to be a few people standing straight on the river, and a few people were standing straight, as if the legendary water was flying, and there was not even a boat under their feet, so they were standing in the water, moving along the direction of the river. At that time, it was still far away, and the old oilman couldn't see the origin of those people.

When I heard this, I was very suspicious, I have seen talented people, but what the old oil man said is too mysterious, so that people can't doubt it. I didn't speak, but there was a trace of doubt in my expression, the old oil is a water rat, his eyesight is quite good, and he is careful and cautious, as soon as he sees my expression, he is anxious, and says: "Brother, if I say a nonsense, there will be five thunders in the sky."

"Go on." I didn't contradict him, I wanted to finish the story.

Seeing a few people standing like this on the river, as if walking on water, the old oil suddenly stopped, hid and continued to look. The men never made any other moves, and walked along the river for a while, one after another sinking into the water. Lao Youzi thought that no matter how good the water was, it would only take two or three minutes at most to breathe, and he would inevitably come out to breathe, but after those few people sank, there was no trace of them, and after waiting for an hour, the river was still empty.

Behind a strange thing, there is always an extremely great attraction, and the old oilman discussed it with his companion and wanted to go into the water to see it. They have a kind of earthen equipment for underwater ventilation, which is actually the prototype of scuba, which stores ordinary air, and if used properly, it can change five or six breaths in the water, which means that for those who are proficient in water, it means that they can stay in the bottom for about ten minutes. The two of them remembered where the other had gone into the water at that time, and dived from there.

There was no movement under the water, they held the stone and kept sinking, just when they just sank a little, the silent underwater suddenly burst out of a knocking sound, a few stones that were shaken out of the water from somewhere rushed up from the bottom of the water, the old oilman was a little afraid, originally wanted to withdraw out of the water, but at this moment, there was a faint white light under the water.

They were diving underwater, relying on stones to control the ups and downs, and the moment the faint white light appeared, the old oil man could also fall to the place where the mud and sand rolled, and through the light, he saw a very thick stone door. The stone gate has been under the water for I don't know how many years, and the current washes away the mud and sand, and you can see the intricate patterns on the stone gate.

The stone gate opened a gap of less than a foot, which was very strange to say, the water around it did not stop all year round, but it did not pour a drop into the stone gate, and it all flowed away along the side.

In the middle of the stone door, there was a very clear round mark, like a brand on the door. There is a ripple of water in the imprint, and according to the old oilman's account, I feel that the imprint on the stone door is almost the same as the size of the Zhenhe mirror and the lines.
