Walking into the library of Yenching University, Luo Lie found the sparrow in front of the bookshelf in the northwest corner, the sparrow stood on the ladder from the top of the bookshelf looking for the information she wanted, she stretched out her right hand and wanted to pull out a book in the distance, but the position was very reluctant, and after a little effort, she finally pulled out the book from it, but her body suddenly lost her balance, and she stumbled and fell from the shelf.

Luo Lie's eyes were quick, and he opened his arms to catch the sparrow that fell from mid-air, the book in the sparrow's hand had fallen to the ground, and his hands naturally wrapped his arms around Luo Lie's neck, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Luo Lie through black-framed glasses, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes. Luo Lie suddenly realized that he had been deceived by this girl, and the sparrow should have been aware of his arrival a long time ago, and deliberately pretended to have fallen from the ladder.

The sparrow immediately realized that his expression was not real enough, and immediately took out a frightened look, exhaled, and said, "I was scared to death, thanks to you." ”

Luo Lie smiled slightly, didn't break it, put down the sparrow very gracefully, and said softly: "Be careful." ”

The sparrow bent down and picked up the book from the ground, and when she turned her back to Luo Hunt, the corners of her lips couldn't help but secretly show a knowing smile, she thought that her little caution had not been discovered by Luo Hunt. When he turned around, his expression had returned to normal: "I thought you forgot about me, said, are you passing by today or are you specifically looking for me?"

Luo Lie said: "Of course I came to you specifically, Sparrow, I want to ask you to help identify something." ”

"No problem!"

The sparrow heard that Luo Lie dug up two stone carvings from the ruins of Qichun Garden was also very curious, and immediately followed Luo Lie to Zhengjue Temple, and the sparrow did not spend too long to judge the age of these two stone carvings is not far away, to be exact, these two evil spirits are not stone carvings in the real sense, but the appearance is covered with a layer of stone powder, but the inside is a wood carving, the wood carving is hollow, hidden gold, from the surface looks enough to be real. The wood carving is made of gloomy wood, painted inside and out, and the material, craftsmanship and techniques are very similar to the production of a coffin, so that the biggest advantage is that the wood can ensure that the wood does not rot for thousands of years.

Sparrow said: "I have seen a lot of information about the Old Summer Palace in the past, but there is no information to prove that there are treasures buried under the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. ”

The blind man said: "Most of the historical materials are recorded in the world, and the real secret will definitely not be written on it, if it is written on it, everyone knows that there is a treasure under the Old Summer Palace, and this Old Summer Palace is afraid that it has already been turned upside down, how can it be our turn?"

Arnold also came to the spiritual head, nodded again and again: "Such a big garden, how many treasures have to be hidden underneath, dig, dig, all dig out, let's divide it." ”

The blind man looked at him coldly and said, "If you still have to divide the horse, this garden will be destroyed in the hands of your Eight-Nation Alliance, and it will not be counted if you steal it, and it will be burned on fire, don't you feel distressed?"

Arnold was scolded by him and was speechless, although this matter has nothing to do with Arnold, but if the sins committed by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the blind man will definitely be counted on his head, Arnold will not argue, knowing that arguing is useless, when it comes to crooked nonsense, he is definitely not as good as the blind man.

Luo Lie said: "Is there such a possibility, this gold did not belong here, but someone chose this place and secretly hid it here." ”

Several people thought about it seriously, and the sparrow nodded first: "It is very likely, I see that these wood carvings will not be buried for too long, definitely not more than thirty years." ”

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, if the sparrow's judgment was correct, these wood carvings should have been buried under the Old Summer Palace within thirty years, and from the time of calculation, they should be consistent with the time when Prince Rui discovered the secret treasure of the Old Summer Palace, could it be that Prince Rui buried it in this place? But Ye Qinghong had not mentioned this matter before, did she know nothing about it? If she didn't know about it, how did outsiders know about it? Could it be that the gang of thieves last night was sent by Prince Hong?

When Luo Lie pondered, the sparrow used a knife to patiently scrape the stone powder on the surface of the evil beast, and found a line of small characters on the inside of the right hind leg, it can be seen from the craftsmanship of the evil beast that the wood carving is by no means an ordinary craftsman, and each line will have its own doorway, many craftsmen will leave their names on their works, and sure enough, there is also a mark on the top of this evil beast.

The sparrow exclaimed, "Luo Xingmu!"

Although Luo Xingmu is a carpenter, he has never heard of the relationship between Luo Xingmu and the Old Summer Palace.

Luo Lie secretly thought to himself, if these wood carvings with hidden gold are related to the royal family, then what does Luo Xingmu have to do with the royal family? He learned all the news about the secret treasure of the Old Summer Palace from Ye Qinghong, according to Ye Qinghong, when Prince Rui was ordered to build the Old Summer Palace, he accidentally discovered the secret treasure, because he was worried that Lafayette would squander the secret treasure, so he concealed this matter from the imperial court.

And Liu Tongsi was also one of the insiders at the time, thinking of the relationship between Liu Tongsi and Xiao Tianxing, the owner of the Wolf Tooth Village, Luo Lie vaguely deduced the reason why the wood carving carved by Luo Xingmu appeared here, Luo Xingmu also chose to hide in Ling Tianbao at that time, maybe these people have known each other for a long time.

However, after all, everything is just speculation, and at present, the person Luo Lie can think of to solve this puzzle is Ye Qinghong, and the other is Liu Tonghei. Since Ye Qinghong handed over this place to herself, she suddenly disappeared from the world, and Luo Lie did not receive any news about her during this time.

In the blind man's opinion, Luo Lie has too many things to consider, although they are employed by Ye Qinghong, the gold that can be found should be regarded as their dividend, this time in Beiping in addition to looking for Zhou Xiaodie, he has one more task, that is, digging treasures in the Old Summer Palace, the blind man thinks that there is more than a little gold hidden in the Old Summer Palace, maybe there are still a lot of treasures waiting to be discovered near the discovery of these two wood carvings.

Luo Lie bowed to Zhang and said, "What do you think of Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Changgong said: "I always think that those people will come back, I have seen at the excavation site, there is only one robbery hole, their purpose is very clear, and it seems that they know the location in advance." I don't think they'll let this treasure fall into our hands. ”

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Very likely." ”

The sparrow quietly left the room at this time, Luo Lie noticed it and followed her outside, and the sparrow said softly: "Take me to the scene to see." ”

Luo Lie nodded, and walked with the sparrow to the place where the wood carving was found last night.

The afternoon sun was very good, shining on the grassy ruins, the dilapidated ruins and the flourishing vegetation formed a sharp contrast, the willows by the lake had begun to spit green, and it would not be long before the willows that had been bare for a winter would be covered with green silk. As soon as the wind blew, the dots of emerald green swayed, and the devastated ruins suddenly became vivid.

Two birds flapping their colorful wings one after the other and chasing each other and flying past their eyes, the sparrows looked at the Old Summer Palace, which was once known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, and sighed and sprouted hope, the Old Summer Palace was robbed several times, even so, the fire of the Eight-Nation Alliance still could not destroy the life on this land, after the catastrophe, the plants, trees, flowers and birds, can still glow with new vitality.

The sparrow saw the newly dug hole, and after a night's work, the hole was already full of water, she walked around the neighborhood, and found no other robbery holes, returned to Luo Lie's side, and whispered: "Luo Lie, can I ask you for something?"

Luo Lie nodded and smiled, "I like you begging me." ”

Sparrow's heart was out of rhythm because of the liking in Luo Lie's words, she realized that she was becoming more and more irresistible in front of Luo Lie, at this time, she could only put on a vicious expression, using a rolling word to hide her true heart, but after speaking, she felt that her mind was suddenly broken, and she had forgotten what she wanted to say just now. It wasn't until Luo Lie reminded her that she suddenly came to her senses, cleared her throat and said: "If you really find the secret treasure, I hope you don't take it for yourself, if you exchange it for money, what is the difference between it and the Eight-Nation Alliance and those thieves? These things are the common wealth of our Chinese sons and daughters, and they belong to the country." ”

Luo Lie had long known that the sparrow had a fist-bare heart, and while appreciating this Nizi's patriotism, he asked her a question: "You mean to ask me to hand over what I found to the government?"

Sparrow nodded.

Luo Lie said: "Do you think the current Beiyang government is trustworthy? Can you guarantee that what we hand over will not become the private possession of those bureaucrats and will not be embezzled by those in power?"

The sparrow was stopped by Luo Lie, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, and after a while, he said: "But there are always good people, I believe that there are still many good people in this world." ”

Luo Lie said: "I also believe it, but I believe in myself even more." ”

The sparrow seemed to realize something from his words, his beautiful eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "You want to take it for yourself?"

Luo Lie smiled: "Money taken from the people for the people, no money for collection, can be used for good deeds, things with collection and archaeological value, we might as well find a secret and safe place to preserve, and when the world is peaceful, we can build a museum, so that the Chinese people can visit for free, I think this is more meaningful?"

Sparrow's beautiful eyes lit up and said, "You mean to build a museum like the Louvre?"

Luo Lie nodded and said: "It's a pity that it's not a peaceful and prosperous era now, and the puppet is not guilty of his crimes, and the original collection of the Old Summer Palace is not inferior to the Louvre, but what about the final result?"
