Chapter 3 Empty Pavilion

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I watched the piece of Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade emit a soft and soothing green light from the inside out, and a trace of excitement passed through my heart, and not only me, but even Zhang Hefang also showed a very surprised expression, as for that Pavilion Director Lin, he still showed a very nervous expression as always.

Little by little, the green light of the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade became dazzling little by little, and faintly, I seemed to hear many fierce beast-like roars appear in the Spirit Gathering Demon Jade, and the feeling was as if those evil spirits imprisoned in the Spirit Gathering Demon Jade had received some sense and let out a painful moan. For a moment, I was even worried that the evil spirits imprisoned in the Spirit Absorbing Demon Jade would suddenly escape from it.

However, at this moment, the Spirit Drawing Demon Jade suddenly flashed, and it felt as if a light bulb had flashed due to an unstable voltage. Immediately after, the Spirit Gathering Demon Jade gradually disappeared as if disappointed.

Except for Bu Jin, the other three of us all looked at what was happening in front of us with puzzled expressions - what did this mean? Is this golden scepter genuine?

The green light gradually disappeared, Bu Jin put down the golden scepter and returned it to Director Lin, and then hung the Spirit Demon Jade placed on the glass cabinet back on his chest and hid it under his clothes.

Curator Lin carefully took the golden scepter and asked, "How is it, is it genuine?" ”

Bu Jin shook his head in disappointment and said, "An imitation of the ancients. ”

I asked Director Lin for the golden scepter and weighed it twice before I realized that it was not as heavy as I had imagined, on the contrary, it was very light, and even a little hollow. I glanced at the end of the golden scepter, and realized that it was really just a hollow golden scepter, and to put it bluntly, it was like an egg roll.

I said to Director Lin, "How is this golden scepter hollow? ”

Director Lin explained to me: "Although the people of the ancient Shu Kingdom have cast a lot of bronzes, gold is still a very rare metal in ancient times, so in the process of casting, this golden scepter is not solid, but the gold melted into liquid is wrapped on a branch as a golden scepter, and with the deduction of time, the internal branches have long been rotted, so only the surface of the gold skin remains." ”

I nodded, and looked at the scepter again. I found that although this golden scepter was called a fake in Bu Jin's mouth, I have to say that this golden scepter still has a very high artistic value. At the top of the scepter is a eerie face of a typical Sanxingdui person, and underneath it, in the middle of the scepter, is carved with a fish, a bird, and an arrow. The arrow passed through the fish and the bird, as if to symbolize the alliance of the two tribes.

I returned the golden scepter to Director Lin, who immediately carefully put the golden scepter back into the glass cabinet and said, "Although this is a forgery of a magic artifact, it is still a very important archaeological artifact and cannot be discarded so easily. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hefang sighed and said, "It seems that things are really not that simple, Mr. Fan, our expedition still needs to be carried out." ”

After hearing this, I also felt a little emotional, and said, "If this golden scepter is real, we will save a lot of time." ”

Zhang Hefang nodded and said, "However, it is useless to say that now, after all, we can't lose the momentum to move forward because of the obstacles in front of us." ”

After speaking, Zhang Hefang turned his head to Director Lin again, patted him on the back, and said comfortingly: "Lao Lin, this time you have taken a risk, although this golden scepter is not genuine, but this can be regarded as your contribution to the resurrection of the Wu Sect, and the people of Nanwu will definitely not forget you." ”

Pavilion Director Lin nodded with a golden scepter and said, "Yes, yes, isn't everything we do for the resurrection of the Wu Sect, I look at the advanced world, I can't imagine who else can save this world besides the Wu Sect." ”

I listened to Director Lin's words, I couldn't help frowning, to be honest, although his words were enough to show Zhang Hefang his loyalty, but, for me, I always feel that his words have completely lost a person's reason, just like an international terrorist has been brainwashed, which makes people feel a gloomy feeling after listening to his words.

Zhang Hefang continued: "Lao Lin, you now know that this golden scepter is not the treasure of the magic weapon we are looking for, but I want you to continue to protect this secret, if the people organized by the organization come to take this golden scepter tomorrow, I don't want them to already know the fact that this golden scepter is a fake." ”

Director Lin nodded and said, "Boss Zhang, don't worry, I understand what you said." ”

Zhang Hefang snorted and said, "Then since we have already inspected the goods, let's not stay here longer, so it is easy to make people suspicious, let's leave quickly." ”

Director Lin seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "That's right, let's go, it's really not safe here." ”

"And where are we going next?" As I walked out, I asked Zhang Hefang.

Zhang Hefang said: "Of course, I want to go to the old altar of Sanxingdui civilization." ”

"Go to the sacrificial pit at the Sanxingdui site?" I said, "But isn't it already being mined by government personnel?" ”

Zhang Hefang shook his head and said: "The place we are going to is in the mountains that only our people from the Nanwu Group know, in fact, whether it is the underground palace in Yunnan or the old man's cave in Shennongjia, our people from the Nanwu Group know where they are, but because they don't know how to open them, they haven't been able to enter until now, but our people in Nanwu have always had the tradition of guarding these altars, don't worry, we will take you to the place where you should go." ”

I nodded, indeed, if there was such a person as Zhang Hefang, I really didn't need to worry too much about where I was going and what I was going to face.

A few of us walked out of the room that staff had only been able to enter, and stepped on top of the marble tiles in the museum. Zhang Hefang and Director Lin were wearing leather shoes, and the sound of their shoes on the ground was silently echoing in the huge museum.

As we walked through the bronze coffin area, my eyes browsed the various artifacts that flashed around me in the glass case, and who could have known that these things were all high-quality fakes made by modern people.

It's still quiet, it's quiet, no, it's scary, to be precise.

Obviously, Zhang Hefang and Director Lin also realized this, and the two of them stopped in unison.

"Yes, a little ...... Something is wrong. Director Lin said in a trembling voice.

Zhang Hefang frowned, and kept looking around, as if he was afraid that something would suddenly appear around him, and after a while, he said lightly: "There is indeed a problem, in this museum, it seems that there are only four of us, and there is no one else." ”

Curator Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, extremely sensitive, he decided to take action immediately, he said to Zhang Hefang: "Boss Zhang, I always feel some foreboding, in my opinion, let's hurry up and escape from the safe passage." ”

Zhang Hefang didn't have any objection to this, he just said lightly: "Without further ado, hurry up." ”

Subsequently, the three of us ran like crazy in the museum under the leadership of Director Lin, and at this time, I gradually realized what a terrifying and strange thing it was to be in an empty museum.

After a cigarette, we came to the fire escape for emergency escape. Director Lin stepped forward and pushed the door, and something I could almost predict appeared—the door was locked from the outside.
