Xu Lao looked at it very carefully, and his eyes widened for a long time with each one, and his face gradually became solemn.

His expression made my heart hang.

Previously, Director Qian said that ordinary things, Xu Lao can be judged at a glance, is this nine-branch lamp not an ordinary object?

No one dared to disturb him, so he could only wait in silence.

The room was depressed.

Seven or eight minutes later, Xu Lao slowly raised his head, his eyes were blank, but the few pieces of paper were clenched tightly in his hand.

"How? Old Xu, do you see something? I asked cautiously.

Xu Lao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "This lamp is a bronze lamp." ”

And then there was no follow-up.

This...... That's it?

I, the playing cards, the money director, and the five-clawed golden dragon looked at each other.

In the end, it was Director Qian who asked timidly.

"What else?"

Xu Lao shook his head lightly: "I'm not sure about the others, and it's the first time I've seen the shape of this lamp." ”

"This ......" Director Qian didn't seem to expect that Xu Lao didn't know this Lianzhi lamp, his throat rolled a few times, and he wanted to say something, but he never said it.

Xu Lao looked at the four of us, smiled awkwardly, and explained.

"Lianzhi lantern first appeared in the Warring States Period, prevailed in the Western Han Dynasty, and gradually disappeared in the late Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, iron tools were widely used, and bronze tools were basically used no longer except as ceremonial instruments and sacrificial supplies. Therefore, most of the Lianzhi lamps unearthed after the Western Han Dynasty are iron or pottery products. In other words, all the bronze lanterns are from the Warring States period and the Western Han Dynasty. ”

"The Lianzhi lantern during the Warring States period was tall, usually about one meter, and the lamp was shaped like a tree. When it came to the Western Han Dynasty, because the Lianzhi lamp was more popular, the appearance was no longer so monotonous, and some characters and beasts were also added to the lamp branch, such as the group of monkeys playing, the golden crow crying, the dragon coiling branches, etc., and the Lianzhi lamp in the Western Han Dynasty can be plugged in, each branch has a tenon rivet, the tenon mouth is different, and the branches can be moved. ”

"The one in the picture is small and unpatterned, and it can be embedded in the wall, with all the branches crooked in the same direction...... Not at all like anything from those two periods. ”

"It's just a broken lamp, where does it come from so much exquisiteness. Maybe there were people in that era who liked this style......"

The five-clawed golden dragon has turned on the bar raising mode again.

It stands to reason that this product is also a person from that era, and it should know what this lamp is all about, presumably because the prince is too strict with it and the unicorn, and he can't easily walk in the world.

Xu Lao was not angry, and said patiently: "Every dynasty and each generation has its own popular things, and this is a thing in the tomb, in that hierarchical society, there are certain regulations, how can you put it in casually?" ”

The five-clawed golden dragon lost his temper and quieted down because of Xu Lao's words.

At this time, Poker asked: "Old Xu, in your opinion, where did this Lianzhi lamp come from?" And which dynasty is it? ”

Xu Lao shook his head again and again: "I don't dare to speculate about this, judging from the picture, this lamp is extremely exquisite, and it is divided into nine branches, it is not an ordinary person's thing, maybe it ......"

He paused at this point, pondered for a while, and then said, "Otherwise, put these documents with me first, and I'll send them to those old things so that they can help them look at them." ”

"Cheng, that's troublesome for old Xu." "But you'll have to pay attention to this, and it's a matter of several lives." ”

"Oh? Is this lamp related to human life? What the hell is going on? When Xu Lao heard the words of the playing cards, his face was anxious, and he asked with a frown.

"There was a robber who was not very mentally normal, kidnapped a few people, hid in that ancient tomb, sent us these pictures, and asked us to find it within half a month, otherwise we would tear up the ticket."

Playing cards make up a random reason.

When Xu Lao heard this, he stood up suddenly: "This is worth it!" I'm going to fax those old things right now. ”

Mr. Xu was in a hurry to go out to send a fax, and we got up to say goodbye.

When we parted, we left each other's phones and asked him to call us as soon as he had news.

Saying goodbye to Xu Lao, I am unwilling.

He also begged Director Qian to take us to find someone else to see.

connected and found two cultural relics experts, both of whom were the same as what Xu Lao said.

Now, I'm dead.

When I got home, it was already dark, and the day had passed, and I had found nothing.

In half a month, I can't stand such a shake at all, so I have to think of a way quickly.

But now I can do nothing but wait quietly for news from Mr. Xu?

Sitting in the chair, my head was unkempt like a pot of paste, and in a haze, I actually fell asleep.

I couldn't sleep all day and night, I was so tired.

It's just that I didn't sleep well this time, and I kept having a weird dream.

In my dream, my relatives and friends were all tortured, their screams and the unbridled laughter of the men in black were all in my ears, and the smell of salty blood was in my nostrils......

I couldn't stand this terrible dream, and I woke up.

In a cold sweat.

At this time, just after twelve o'clock, it was the middle of the night.

But I didn't feel sleepy anymore, and my mind was numb.

Gray Lord, they're in prison, and I can't do anything......

Anger, guilt, reluctance......

Several emotions were mixed together, like a thousand pounds of burden, and I was at a loss.

In the dark, I sat like a stake of wood.

As soon as it was dawn, I called Uncle Li Di and asked him what was going on.

"The bounty order was just sent out yesterday, how can there be news so quickly? Changsheng, don't worry, I'll call you as soon as I have news......"

Uncle Li Di's words were full of exhaustion, and my heart was sour when I heard it.

He is so old that he should have enjoyed the blessings at home, but now he is running around like a young man for my business.

The sound of a phone call woke up the five-clawed golden dragon.

This guy came down from upstairs yawning, and when he saw me, he immediately reached out and asked me for money for breakfast.

Damn, what's going on here, and I'm still thinking about eating!

I really suspect this guy is the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

When the five-clawed golden dragon came back with breakfast, Li Di happened to enter the door.

She handed me a piece of paper: "Changsheng, look at this, this is a picture restoration made by someone I found, and it is really a mural, but this mural is so strange." ”

I took the paper and looked at it, and the picture on the paper was blurry, but I could probably make an outline.

Sure enough, as Li Di said, it is really a mural.

The picture on it is of a person.

No, it's not appropriate to say people.

It only had the body of a human being, but its head was like the head of a fox.

With a pointed mouth and ears, it is a monster with the head of a fox and a human body.

At this clueless juncture, this picture is tantamount to a big clue.

It's just that.

What the hell is this fox-headed monster?

How could something so strange come to be painted in a mural in a tomb?

Is it a totem for ethnic minority areas?

Or is it a god of faith?
