Chapter 2 Inspection

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When I arrived in Chengdu, Sichuan, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon of the next day. The four people in our carriage walked out of the train station under the leadership of Zhang Hefang. I don't know where the other six were, but after we finished lunch, we took the long-distance bus to Guanghan City without making any stops.

However, I don't know what to do next when I arrive in Guanghan City. The feeling was somewhat similar to my previous expeditions, where I felt that I had somehow been involved, but I didn't even know the most basic tasks, and I was ready to sacrifice my life to accompany me.

There was nothing to say all the way, except for telling me some history about the ancient Shu Kingdom, the only thing Li Zhongkai did was to smoke, but Zhang Hefang always had a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking, as for Bu Jin...... Well, she's still Bu Jin, and I don't know what to say other than that.

I am not surprised at all that Li Zhongkai is a member of the Nanwu Group under Zhang Hefang, and it can also be said that now I have lost the ability to be surprised by many things, and I am used to it.

After arriving in Guanghan City, Zhang Hefang mentioned to me one thing that surprised me, that is, he planned to go to the Sanxingdui Museum first.

You know, in my previous adventures, we almost never set foot in archaeological sites that have been excavated or in some site park to explore anything, and the historical truth we are looking for is often hidden in the depths of the mountains.

I asked Zhang Hefang why he went to the Sanxingdui Museum, and he told me that it was to confirm something, and when we got there, we would naturally know.

In this way, after another day, we finally came to the door of the Sanxingdui Museum, and at this time, the other six people who were casual with us didn't even see a shadow.

Sanxingdui Museum is located in the northeast corner of Sanxingdui civilization site, surrounded by endless fields, beautiful scenery, and Sanxingdui Museum is built behind the lake. The shape of the museum is also unique, it is really a tourist attraction, but unfortunately, a few of us did not have time to stop and admire.

When the four of us were in front of the Sanxingdui Museum, we didn't buy any tickets directly, instead, Zhang Hefang stood at the door and took out his mobile phone to make a call to someone.

After making the phone call, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the museum after a short while.

I saw that the man had a combed back hair, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a face full of oil, and his eyes were always evasive, and he looked obscenely compatible. As soon as he saw Zhang Hefang, he immediately stepped forward and said a brief greeting to Zhang Hefang, and after Zhang Hefang's introduction, I knew that this person turned out to be the director of Sanxingdui Museum, surnamed Lin.

After the curator simply greeted me, he immediately turned his eyes to Zhang Hefang and said, "Fortunately, you came in time, if you come here tomorrow, I'm afraid the golden scepter will be transported elsewhere." ”

When Zhang Hefang heard this, he didn't show a sense of relief, but said a little anxiously: "So, the organization has already noticed it?" ”

The curator nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case, you come with me quickly." ”

Zhang Hefang didn't dare to slack off, and glanced around, as if to see if anyone was monitoring our movements, before turning around and waving his hand to me, "Mr. Fan, come quickly." ”

Bu Jin and Professor Li Zhongkai and I followed Zhang Hefang's footsteps and immediately walked in.

Because we were led by the museum curator, we didn't have to buy any tickets and walked directly into the museum.

After the curator walked into the museum, he first walked straight to a security guard and whispered a few words beside him. I don't know what Director Lin said to the security guard, but when the security guard heard about it, he was a little surprised, and soon, he picked up the walkie-talkie on his chest and whispered something.

After that, we followed in the footsteps of Director Lin and hurried through the normal exhibition area of the museum, and instead entered a very private room that only the staff could enter.

I walked beside Zhang Hefang and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what are we going to see?" ”

Zhang Hefang smiled slightly, but I could clearly feel that his smile was to comfort me, and I only heard him say to me: "Mr. Fan, we are going to see a cultural relic unearthed decades ago." ”

"Huh?" I was a little surprised and wondered, "Since it's to see cultural relics, why don't you go to the exhibition area and come to the staff's area?" ”

As soon as my words fell, Director Lin, who was originally walking in front, suddenly listened to his footsteps, turned his head and stared at me with his eyes wide. I saw that he looked very nervous, and even some beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Zhang Hefang comforted him and said, "Don't worry, your own people." ”

There was a hint of hesitation in Director Lin's eyes, and then he whispered: "There are surveillance cameras everywhere here, only I know the blind spots of these surveillance cameras, you must follow the route I took, and also, don't talk nonsense easily, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

I knew that I had a lot of tongues just now, so I quickly closed my mouth and followed the route taken by Director Lin and cautiously walked into the room that only the staff could enter.

Walking into the room, there was a huge locked iron door in front of me, and Director Lin stepped forward and opened the iron door for us to follow.

Inside the iron door, there is a very small space, and there is a lifting shelf on it, on which is placed a glass case, and in the cabinet is placed a golden stick like a tree branch.

"What is this?" I asked.

"It's a golden scepter." Zhang Hefang replied

"The Golden Scepter?" I muttered in my mouth and said, "This is a cultural relic unearthed in Sanxingdui?" ”

Director Lin looked back at me suspiciously, as if he was a little puzzled by my ignorance, I could feel that he was always on guard against me, could it be that he knew that I was the identity of the Sixth Imperial Attendant?

Zhang Hefang had no choice but to say to Director Lin again: "Old Lin, I have already told you once, he is his own person, and I want to tell you clearly that you have to believe him." ”

Director Lin muttered and said, "Trust him? Trust can sometimes kill. ”

"You're too nervous." Zhang Hefang stepped forward, patted Director Lin on the back, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him.

Director Lin saw the cigarette, shook his head, and said, "Smoking is not allowed here." After saying that, he turned his head to me again, and this time, there seemed to be a hint of apology in his words, and said: "Mr. Fan, I'm sorry, I've always been suspicious these days, don't be surprised." ”

I waved my hand and hurriedly said, "Where, where, I can understand you, it's just that I'm really just a layman when it comes to history and archaeology, I'm just a little curious, that's all." ”

Director Lin nodded and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this cultural relic is quite special." ”

"Special?" I said, "I don't see anything special about it, it's a very ordinary golden scepter, and it looks so thin and ugly." ”

"It's a golden scepter, which is special in itself." Zhang Hefang said.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Hefang explained to me: "Mr. Fan, you must know that in the civilization of the Central Plains of China, there have been many dynasties, but among these dynasties, there has never been a dynasty such as a scepter, and this kind of thing generally appears in a civilization system similar to that of the West or the Middle East. ”

"That's all?" After listening to their explanations, I was somewhat unimpressed, and said in my heart, isn't it just a golden stick, as for such a fuss?

Zhang Hefang said: "Let me tell you, since this cultural relic was unearthed, both the organization and the Nanwu Group have agreed that this is one of the magic weapons among the six imperial attendants, but its authenticity has been difficult to judge. ”

"If this thing is so important, why should it be displayed in a museum?" I asked.

"No, it's not." Director Lin said: "Mr. Fan, you don't know how to run a museum, in fact, I can tell you very clearly that in our museum, 90% of the cultural relics presented to visitors are high-quality imitations, and the remaining 10% are also some collections of little value, and the treasures of those cultural relics are almost never open to outsiders, and are hidden in the underground or dark room of the museum. ”

I said, "But I don't think it's very secret. ”

Director Lin said: "That's because this golden scepter will be shipped to Beijing tomorrow. ”

Zhang Hefang took over and said: "That's the case, after the adventure of a few of you in Shennongjia at that time, Chen Bing died, completely disconnected from the organization, the organization of the government is all elites from all parties without exception, they are naturally not stupid, they must have known that Chen Bing's task has failed, now, our Nanwu Group already has the Heavenly Imperial Attendant and the Earth Imperial Attendant in our hands, as well as the corresponding Southern Imperial Weapon Golden Mask and Eastern Imperial Weapon Spiritual Demon Jade, it can be said that the balance of victory has tilted towards our Nanwu Group, At this time, the government organization will naturally try every means to recover this golden scepter, although we have always been unsure whether this golden scepter is a real magic weapon or not. ”

I was a little unconvinced, and said: "No, there are so many government organizations and academic elites, how can it be impossible to even distinguish the authenticity of a cultural relic?" ”

Director Lin explained: "It is very easy to determine the age of a cultural relic, but if this golden scepter is really a magic weapon, then not everyone has the ability to exert this magic weapon. ”

I reacted immediately and said, "Only the six imperial attendants can rush it, right?" ”

Zhang Hefang nodded, and then added, "You must be a Six Imperial Attendant who is proficient in witchcraft, and you, because of your immortal mode, you have forgotten all your witchcraft." ”

"That means," I turned my head to Bu Jin, "and only she can identify it." ”

Director Lin nodded and said, "The government has issued a death order, no matter what, we must ensure that the golden scepter is returned to Beijing at the specified time, if there is an accident, then I will ...... I must be unlucky. ”

I whispered a sarcastic remark, "However, the people in the government organization never imagined that the museum director they trusted was himself a member of the Nanwu group. ”

Speaking of this, Director Lin shook his head in shame and said, "If it weren't for Boss Zhang's secret support, this curator's position would not have been my turn anyway." All in all, let's not waste time, let's let this girl identify it, if this is really a magic weapon, you can take it away, if my death can contribute to the resurrection of the Wu Sect, then my life is worth it. ”

I didn't know what to say, so I just stood by and watched.

I saw that Director Lin opened the glass case, carefully took out the golden scepter inside and handed it to Bu Jin.

Bu Jin took the golden scepter with an indifferent face, but walked back to the glass cabinet. I saw that she was holding a golden scepter in her right hand, and with her left hand, she carefully took off the spirit demon jade on her chest and placed it on the glass cabinet, and we didn't know what she was going to do.

I saw Bu Jin pick up the golden scepter and put it in front of her, gently pressed down the golden scepter with her left hand, closed her eyes and silently recited the incantation for a while, and then she opened her eyes and touched the spirit demon jade with the tip of the golden scepter.

Suddenly, as if it had received some kind of reaction, the Spirit Gathering Demon Jade suddenly emitted a soft green light.
