Five o'clock in the evening.

Ye Xiaofan followed the old village chief and they came to the Bazhuang Hotel in Qinghe Town.

On one side of the path, three people walked out.

Su Keqing and her two colleagues.

One of them is Kim Eun-sung, who has already met before.

Now he has changed into an expensive suit, and he is arrogant.

Su Keqing wore heavy makeup, wearing sunglasses and a pale white scarf, as if trying to hide her complexion and some acne scars on her face.

"I'm sorry, the teacher is not feeling well, and I have already returned to Chujiang in the afternoon and went to the city hospital for a comprehensive examination." Su Keqing was slightly apologetic.

"Professor Zhang is fine, right?"

The old village chief asked with concern.

Ye Xiaofan's eyes were casual, and he didn't seem to notice the change in her appearance

"No, it's all some old problems, I've been in that tomb on the mountain for so long, and I've been holding on." Su Keqing smiled.

"Oh, that's good, it's important."

After greetings.

Follow Su Keqing and them into the box.

In addition to Su Keqing's warm hospitality and repeated thanks to the people of Taoyuan Village, Jin Encheng and another colleague were more perfunctory.

After three or two toasts, they played with their phones on the side.

The atmosphere of the dinner was relatively cold.

The old village chief and the others ate quietly, somewhat restrained, and did not dare to talk nonsense.

Su Keqing has the heart to warm up, but she is really not good at interpersonal communication and dinner socializing.

After some awkward chats.

She finally sat back next to Ye Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, I heard that your paintings are very popular in the Four Seasons Gallery, and they are all sold at sky-high prices." ”

When Su Keqing came back today, her mobile phone was able to connect to the signal, and after chatting with Zhang Yao, she was shocked.

It's only been a few days, and when she learned that Ye Xiaofan had a painting that had been sold for an astonishing price of five million, she thought that Zhang Yao was joking with herself.

After repeated questioning, it was confirmed.

"Hehe, I think it's incredible, too." Ye Xiaofan chuckled.

"Anyway, when I bought two paintings from you for 10,000 yuan, the value of which increased by at least thirty or forty times in the blink of an eye.

"It's like a dream. I guess this will be the most successful investment in my life. ”

Su Keqing's expression was complicated, she thought that this painting was good, and she subconsciously spent money to buy it.

Ye Xiaofan still regarded them as waste manuscripts at that time, dispensable, and gave them away at will.

"If I could go back to that day, I would have to sell all my belongings and stock up on dozens or hundreds of your paintings."

"......" Ye Xiaofan was a little stunned, and laughed dumbly, "If you really have this ability, why bother so much, then you just remember the lottery numbers." ”

"Hahaha, that's what I said. Those two paintings, I will keep them well, you can become more popular in the future and become a great painter, and their value still has more room for appreciation. ”

Su Keqing said firmly.

"Promise your good words." Ye Xiaofan raised his glass and toasted her.

"By the way, I watched the news before, and the tomb in the Yanling Mountains is suspected to be the tomb of Emperor Yangling.

"There aren't many introductions on the news, and there doesn't seem to be any record on the Internet. Some history teachers have never heard of it. ”

Ye Xiaofan took the opportunity to inquire about the situation of the mausoleum.

"Yes, there are not many records of this person in the official history, but there are many stories about him in some wild history classics.

"He was the emperor of the last dynasty, debaucherous and cruel, and was said to love to eat tongues, especially those of young girls......"

Before, Zhang Congming was mysterious and refused to tell him, mainly because he was not completely sure.

And now some evidence has been found and reported in the news.

Su unfortunately saw that he was interested, so he happily introduced it, but it involved his own major, so he naturally had to show it.

As he spoke.

At the dining table, there were people with strange eyes one after another, and they were just chatting about the signature dish of Bazhuang Hotel, hot and sour pork tongue.

The old village chief took a piece of pig's tongue dipped in sauce and put it in his mouth with some hesitation.

Su Keqing smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry." ”

"Oh, go ahead, leave them alone."

In addition to his tyranny, there were also some heinous acts, according to a remnant of a wild history, this man forced 100,000 people into a mountain to dig for ore.

"Of the 100,000 people, only a little more than 100 survived.

"And the ore mined was only to make a sword, and three famous swordsmiths were hired to cast it day and night.

"On the day when the sword was made, he also took a hundred boys and girls to sacrifice the sword.

"The technique is brutal and bloody, but ironically, he named this sword 'Yuxiao', and the name is elegant and magnificent.

It is said that it is because of his favorite concubine, named Yuxiao, who sees the sword as if he sees a concubine, and replaces people with the sword, accompanying him day and night, accompanying him to fight in all directions and suppress the national fortune.

"It's just that a year later, he died, and the cause of death is unknown."

As Su Keqing spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice, for fear of affecting others.

However, judging by the reactions of everyone, everyone is obviously more interested in the mausoleum.

"Jade Sky Sword...... I can't find any information on the Internet. Ye Xiaofan raised his eyebrows.

"It's normal for some little-known or rare books to have no relevant content on the Internet."

"What about the sword?"

"I didn't find it, and the tomb robbers who destroyed the mausoleum said they didn't see it, and he didn't take it.

"Either he lied.

"Either someone got the first step in the early game.

"Because there are some strange scratches in the mausoleum, which are suspected to have been cut by sharp weapons, some of the traces are new, and they can even kill some monsters with hard skin.

"The last possibility is that the content of the Yuxiao Sword Casting Sword is fake, after all, Yeshi is a book compiled by a private family, and it is not authoritative and not highly credible.

"Captain Wang leans towards the second option.

"We're leaning towards the third. No matter how well preserved the ancient sword is stored in the tomb for six hundred years, it is impossible to have this kind of sharpness.

"Anyway, the tomb robber seems to know some secrets, but if he doesn't say it, we can't verify it."

Su Keqing sighed, "If it really exists, then its value may be second only to the golden jade clothes!" Whether it is historical significance or ancient sword-forging skills, it has a great effect. ”

But the man with the sword sat next to her.

Ye Xiaofan sat peacefully.

If it weren't for him, this sword and the golden jade clothes and other cultural relics would have been taken away by the tomb robbery gang.

This sword is too precious, blowing hair and cutting iron like clay.

Even if he had given it impartially, I am afraid that the sword would have changed hands several times and would eventually end up in someone's hands instead of being exhibited in a museum.

Therefore, he didn't think there was anything wrong with this sword.

"Keqing, you're talking too much!" Kim Eun-sung frowned.

"It's not a secret what it is. Even if the teacher came, he was willing to tell Xiaofan. Su Keqing didn't care.

It's nothing more than talking about some wild histories that have yet to be verified, and it is of little significance.

If you want to talk about secrets, it may be those terrible monster fish corpses, and the military found and transported some weird red eggs on the edge of the dark river, which are more taboo.

Ye Xiaofan thoughtfully, "Yuxiao Sword, Emperor Yangling ......"

It's just a pity that there is no more valuable content.

It doesn't matter how it was cast, how bloody the process was.

He wanted to know most about whether there was a chance to remedy the strange ritual of bloodline connection that was mysterious and mysterious when he first came into contact with the sword.

If it can be continued, it will definitely be of great benefit to yourself.

Continue to ask Su Keqing, it is definitely not appropriate.

She is an archaeologist, and she must not know much about sword casting.

Su Keqing thought that Ye Xiaofan was more interested in archaeology, and then described some of the imperial tombs and monuments he had been to before.
