The man sat at the table in front of the bar with some restraint, looking at the two people in front of him carefully.

Su Jianxia sat cross-legged on the wide sofa, holding the tablet in his hand and sliding twice from time to time, while Wei Ziqi behind the bar was holding a cup of coffee in his hand, as if he was distracted thinking about something.

The man coughed twice, got up, took out a black silk wrapped thing from the backpack he had just put aside, placed it on the table in front of him, and carefully unfolded the strip of cloth.

Wrapped in the cloth is a jade statue about 20 centimeters high, the texture should be a good agate jade, crystal clear, carved is a graceful girl. It's just that a small half of the lower body of the jade statue is bright red, like blood, which is a little incompatible with the whiteness of the upper body.

Su Jianxia glanced at the jade statue, the level of carving was very exquisite, and the girl's face could be carved so clearly on such a small jade, thinking that the author's skills must be superb.

The girls in ancient costumes, coupled with the use of jade as materials, are like those girls I saw in Hangzhou in the Song Dynasty some time ago, gentle as water.

It's just that I don't know why, Su Jianxia always felt that this jade statue had a strange feeling, it was obviously a pure item, but it seemed to have something unclean attached.

The man looked at the jade statue on the table with complicated eyes, sighed, and slowly spoke: "The two of you should have already seen the special features of this jade statue. ”

"A pure body is tainted with filth, and it can only be worse than evil." Su Jianxia nodded, "Let's talk about what happened to this thing." ”

The man leaned back in his seat and looked up at the ceiling light, "This matter starts with my ancestors."

My name is Hu Shouyu, and my home is in Tongzhou City next door. My family's ancestral home is in Luocheng, southern Henan, hundreds of years ago, an elder in the family used to run an antique business, that elder is said to have a pair of eyes that are not ordinary to ordinary people, can see things that ordinary people can not see, so you can see the value and origin of antiques at a glance.

With this ability, coupled with the assistance of some elders in the family who are proficient in business, our Hu family can be said to be the leader in the antique industry in southern Henan at that time, and the limelight is unique for a while, but whenever someone finds valuable antiques, they will send them to the elder to identify the authenticity. Or maybe it's some ...... The underground workers of the people, who accidentally get some valuable objects, will also bring them over to let the elder palm his eyes and make a good price, and therefore, in the industry, the status of the elder is also extremely lofty.

Such days lasted until the old age of the elder, he thought that there was no wind and waves in this life, and he could withdraw from the rivers and lakes to enjoy his old age, and at this time, someone sent him an object, saying that he was in a local tomb in Yunnan...... An unexpected treasure in the mountains looks like a good thing, but he can't see the experience and value, and wants the elder to show it.

I never thought that after the elder saw the object, he immediately bought the object from the man, and it was said that he gave a very high price, and basically no one would refuse that price, plus the man also wanted to sell the elder a face, so he took the money and left the object.

After the elder received the things, before he could give an answer to the inquiries of the people around him, he returned to the family's ancestral hall with his things, closed the door, and strictly forbade anyone to enter.

Although it was the first time that everyone in the family had seen that situation, everyone thought that it was because the object was too valuable, or that the elder had seen something that ordinary people could not see, so they reacted like this, so they didn't take it too seriously.

But the strange thing is that the elder stayed alone in the room for three days and three nights without coming out, and he didn't make a sound, so everyone felt that something was wrong.

Not to mention an old man, even if it is a young man in his twenties who does not eat or drink for three days, it is estimated that half of his life will be lost at this time, so everyone discussed it and decided to go against the will of the elder and go in to see the situation inside.

But when everyone pushed open the door and entered the ancestral hall, they found that the ancestral hall was empty, even if everyone turned the room up and down, they didn't find any trace of the elder. All that was left was the object that lay next to the ancestral tablet and a piece of paper that looked like it had been written in a hurry.

There were no other doors and windows in the Patriarch's Hall except for the main entrance, and no one knew how the elder disappeared.

Only the piece of paper that said, "If you come in and don't look for me, don't bother looking for me, I'm going where I need to go." You must keep this jade statue away, and do not lose it, and do not take it out for others to see. From today on, my Hu family will be prosperous for thousands of years, but if you encounter the life and death of the family, take out this jade statue, and it will help you tide over the difficulties.

Although the elder on the letter did not let the family look for his traces, the family still used all the connections in the industry at that time, searched all over the country, and finally did not find a talent.

Later, the family obeyed the instructions of the elders, and the jade statue has been treasured, and it is really as the elders said, whether it is the change of dynasty or the chaos of war, my Hu family's business has never been affected, until today, my Hu family in Tongzhou can be regarded as one of the best families. Although no one mentioned it, everyone knew that it must have a close relationship with the elder who disappeared out of thin air and this Jade Buddha, so this Jade Buddha can be regarded as an heirloom in my family. ”

After Hu Shouyu finished the last sentence, he lowered his head again, and looked at the two people opposite carefully, but found that one was covering his mouth and snickering at the mobile phone screen, and the other was still drinking coffee in a daze, and no one looked at him.

Hu Shouyu frowned, and couldn't help but remind: "Two, I have already finished talking about the origin of this jade statue, what do you two think?" ”

The two of them didn't seem to hear him speak, and they didn't react, and after a while, when Hu Shouyu couldn't help but want to get up and leave, Su Jianxia stretched and put down his phone.

"Mr. Hu doesn't seem to be telling the truth about something."

Hu Shouyu said quietly: "What does Miss Su mean by this, what do I have to deceive the two of you?" ”

"Your family shouldn't have been in the antiques business all along." Su Jianxia changed his posture, reclining on the sofa, supporting his head with his hands, "If I'm not mistaken, in fact, you are ostensibly in the antique business, but in fact, you are, tomb robbing?" ”

"Miss Su, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, how can we do this kind of unclean behavior." Hu Shouyu retorted: "Is there any evidence for Miss Su to say this? ”

"That's not true, it's just that I smell a smell on Mr. Hu's body." Su Jianxia blinked, "The smell of the dead." ”

Hu Shouyu's face changed, but he didn't speak.

"This jade statue should not have been given by someone else, but the elder of your family found it in the tomb himself, but accidentally discovered its specialness, so in the end, I don't know what method was used, maybe he signed some kind of contract with the jade statue? When the agreement is reached, your Hu family will be rich and prosperous for generations, and as for what kind of price it has paid, then I can't guess. ”

Hu Shouyu was silent for a while before nodding, "Miss Su is indeed smart. ”

"Since Mr. Hu is here, it means that in your generation, there is something wrong with this jade statue?" Su Jianxia asked.

Hu Shouyu lowered his head and sighed, "Yes, when the family thought that we would always be so calm, I didn't expect that a big change had happened recently. ”

"About two years ago, I had a friend I hadn't seen for a long time, who came all the way from Nanzhao. When we were younger, we studied together in the United States, and the two of us touched some ...... together in the United States Baby, you can be regarded as a fellow believer, and you can talk very well, so even if you haven't seen each other for a long time, you feel very cordial.

Originally, I thought he was just passing through Tongzhou, and when he saw his old friends catching up, he chose a good place and was going to have a drink with him and talk about their lives over the years.

But unexpectedly, at dinner in the evening, he told me that he was going to invite me to help him explore a ...... The Great Tomb.

Although my friend's ability to do underground work is not as good as ours ancestral craft, he is also a first-class expert in the industry, and he can come all the way to me for help, which shows that this tomb is indeed not simple, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. However, this also shows that the preciousness of the contents of this tomb is estimated to be rare in the world.

If I had been younger, I would have never missed this kind of tomb, which was both challenging and good, and I would have visited it anyway. But at that time, my wife was probably about to give birth to our first child in a few days, and it was just when I needed to be by my side, and I was not young at the time, and I lost the momentum of my youth, so I politely rejected him.

But he didn't give up because of my refusal, but took out a few things for me to see, it should be the objects they brought out from the periphery of the tomb, although it is only peripheral items, but each one can be regarded as an extremely rare and sought-after item on the market, if you want to enter the inner room, presumably the things inside, take it out, it may alarm the entire industry, and it may be possible to make a family prosperous for hundreds of years.

For those of us who work underground, almost no one can resist such a temptation, and everyone is curious about what kind of luxurious configuration the inner room is.

It's just that the Hu family has the blessing of this jade statue, coupled with the wealth accumulated in the past thousand years, although I will also be tempted by such a temptation, but I don't have the idea of exploring it immediately. It's easy to get in this circle, it's hard to jump out, and once you come out, you have to hold back and go in again no matter what, otherwise you'll fall short. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Shouyu lowered his head and sighed heavily.

"But you went in anyway." Su Jianxia asked, "But it's not because of those treasures?" ”

Hu Shouyu nodded, "Yes, I still went in because of a photo." ”

"Photos?"

"It's a picture they took the last time they went to the tomb, but it wasn't a treasure, it was a statue of a woman."

"Is this jade statue?" Su Jianxia quickly reacted.

"Well, I didn't expect that in an ancient tomb thousands of miles away, I could see a statue that was exactly the same as the girl carved on this jade statue.

Although it was only a very clear photo, when I saw it, I felt as if I was attracted by a strange force, and I wanted to take my body to the ancient tomb and see the statue in this photo.

Maybe when I get there, I will be able to figure out why the elder in the family suddenly disappeared, what agreement was made with this jade statue, and the true secret of the Hu family's longevity from generation to generation.

So I said yes.

Before leaving, I arranged everything in the house, told my wife that I would be back before she gave birth, and told my team that this was our last deal.

I was too confident, thinking that with my ability, there was no tomb in this world that I couldn't take down. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Shouyu closed his eyes a little painfully, "If I could choose again, I would definitely not invite that friend to dinner, let alone go to that tomb out of curiosity." ”

"That's where all the nightmares begin."

"The tomb is located at the junction of Nanzhao and Tibet, some distance from Tongzhou, because we brought a lot of tools that couldn't pass the security check, so we had to drive there.

The location of the ancient tomb is very remote, and the entrance is in a very inconspicuous mountain, if it is not for repeated search of the mountains, coupled with extremely professional feng shui attainments, it is difficult to find the best place to enter.

My friend's team had already gone in once before, so it didn't take much effort to go in this way.

Bypassing the perimeter of the ancient tomb, we managed to reach the door of the inner chamber, which was indeed difficult to open, there were sixteen locks in total, but if we opened one wrong, the mercury hidden around us would flow out in an instant, burying us there. If I hadn't seen too many tombs and opened too many locks, I might not have been able to do anything about that door.

I won't go into detail about the process, and it is estimated that the two of you will not be interested.

When I opened the door of the inner chamber of the tomb and entered, the first thing I saw was the statue in the middle of the inner chamber, I don't know if it was my delusion, but I felt as if the statue had been staring at me since I entered, as if it was ...... The reunion of fate is general.

At the time, I thought it was because I hadn't been to the tomb for a long time, and I didn't quite adapt to the air in the tomb, probably because of the surrounding atmosphere. I looked around at the others, who were not interested in the statue and searched around for anything valuable in the tomb.

So I also followed and looked, as I expected, the burial goods in the inner chamber of the ancient tomb were taken out at random, and the preciousness could cause a sensation in the entire industry.

To be honest, I was more curious about the location of this tomb and the identity of its owner than the surprise of finding these objects.

The dynasty where the owner of this ancient tomb is located should be the historical Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when Nanzhao was still a foreign country, unless it was a prisoner who committed an extremely serious crime in the country would be sent here.

According to my friend, the owner of the tomb was the favorite wife of a wealthy man at that time, and the two were very happy, but his wife contracted an incurable disease in middle age. In order to prevent his wife from leaving him, the rich man asked a feng shui magician to choose a feng shui treasure land, buried his wife there, and asked people to build the ancient tomb into a flying platform, hoping to use the secret art of feng shui to regenerate his wife and reunite with him.

But I thought carefully about the surrounding terrain, the orientation of the ancient tomb, and the layout of the inner chambers, and from my experience over the years, this is not like a feng shui treasure that can be resurrected, but more like a ...... It's like they're sealing something, and they're not going to get out of here.

And from the ornaments inside the tomb and the mountain outside the cemetery, it seems that this place has been deliberately arranged as a 'unicorn cave'. ”

"I remember reading tomb robbery novels before, isn't the Qilin Cave an auspicious place, which will help the family to prosper for generations." Su Jianxia suddenly interjected.

Hu Shouyu nodded, "Yes, the Qilin Cave is indeed an auspicious place from Feng Shui, but if the woman is buried alone in the Qilin Cave, her own yin qi will only be swallowed by the Qilin Yang Qi, so that she will never be able to live beyond her life, and she can only be trapped in the tomb and cannot be liberated."

I originally thought that maybe my judgment was wrong, so I thought about discussing it with others and analyzing whether this tomb was bad or bad.

But when I came to my senses, the unexpected happened.

I found that I was the only one left in the whole tomb, and everyone else was gone.

And the statue of that woman has come to life! ”
