Chapter 42: The Corpse King (Updated: October 23, 2013)

The fire was extinguished below, and we retreated to a relatively safe place, and the fat man told me what had happened to him when he was younger.

It's not particularly young when I said it, and the fat man said it very briefly, and I can only repeat it according to the state he said.

At that time, he had just started to work alone, and made a few small deals, not a fight, but an antique trade, after he and the previous henchmen broke up, he lived a luxurious life, and spent almost all the money to break up, these small transactions made up for his deficit, so that he regained his confidence, and felt that it was not a big deal to go alone. So he was ready to gamble, and went around saying that he wanted to collect a big thing.

At that time, he thought that it was too dangerous to fight, if the antiques could make money, although it was not violence, but fortunately, there was a lot of room for growth, and maybe he could open a listed company or something in the future. The industry also knew that he did have some money at the time, so many cow ghosts and snake gods came to the door, and one of them showed him a photo, which was a Qing Dynasty toast ship.

This thing is very strange, this is a complete ship, it looks like it is not a burial object, it is a heirloom thing, and there is no trace of Tuqin. It should have been placed at home, and it was done with a very elaborate lacquer work, although the paint was almost gone, but it could be seen that the gold and red patterns were used. This state should be some kind of ornament, but the size and workmanship are a real ship.

The fat man looked at a lot of photos and found something strange, all the photos were only the bottom of the boat, and there was no scene in the boat. So I asked, and the other party hesitated for a long time before revealing that this was not a boat, but two boats buckled together. Nailed in the middle. There seems to be something inside. They didn't dare to open it themselves, so they wanted to sell it directly.

The fat man was very bold at the time, and said that there must be a treasure in it, so he bought the boat, this kind of thing because it is a unique product, the general antique dealer is not afraid to receive, if there is no next house is likely to rot in their own hands, the fat man put it in the local treasury after receiving it, and did not care, and later found that the seller disappeared in minutes after collecting the money, and felt strange. So I took the train and found that the goods had indeed not been delivered. But the two ships were not sealed at all, the middle of the ship had long been cracked, and out of the gap came a corpse hand with nails like a bird's claw.

The fat man is a little experienced, he knows that he has a big deal, and he doesn't dare to move, and he doesn't know how to fix it when he goes back to Beijing. When asked about this, the fat man initially denied it, but later the other party directly said that he was willing to buy this thing at a price that was astronomical for the fat man at the time.

Of course, it was good for someone to take over, and the fat man did the deal, and he didn't ask the other party for an advance payment, and directly asked the other party to get this thing away first, and he didn't think that he would receive so much money at that time, but the money finally arrived.

After the fat man went to tidy up the warehouse, he saw that the other party was in his warehouse, not only moved things away, but also did a lot of things before moving away, he saw countless white sand on the ground, and asked the old man who looked at the warehouse, and the old man said that those people came with trucks, and all the chains were unloaded in the trucks.

The fat man said to me that this was the antecedent, and then he didn't take it to heart, and an incident a long time later made him suddenly realize what he was selling at that time.
