"By the way, how are you progressing about what Mr. Yigua explained?"

Once he spread the contents of the baggage on the table, a bronze utensil, a small stove, a small bag of ashes, and a "pear blossom wooden bowl", plus the "Hundred Flowers Night Dew" collected by Qingyang before.

"What is this little stove for?"

"This is the incense burner, and the incense ashes that Mr. Yigua asked me to take were burned from it. Don't look at the small and delicate stove, the incense burned with this thing can be burned for hundreds of years without extinguishing. ”

"This stove really has such a miraculous effect? I don't know how many of them are similar to this in my family. ”

Lin Chen already had many rare treasures in his family, and he was not surprised, and his attention did not focus on the stove for long, and then shifted to the eye-catching bronze artifact.

"What's this?"

"Ah, this is the "toad head spirit". ”

"I can see that it looks like a toad...... It's also used to burn incense?"

"This thing is the ancestor of the Ma family, but I don't know what it is used for, if you like it, I will give it to you. ”

Although Lin Chen was very interested in this toad, as soon as he heard that it was something from other people's ancestors, he dispelled the idea of taking it for himself.

"No, no, it's your ancestor's thing, so I can't ask for it. ”

"You better take it, I'm useless anyway, and I'm a waste to keep it. ”

Although he tried every means to persuade him, Lin Chen still didn't want to accept this artifact, and when the two of them pushed me to let me, Father Lin returned to the mansion in the next court.

Father Lin looked displeased, it seemed that he had encountered something bad when he was in the last dynasty, and even when he saw it, he lost the enthusiasm he had when he first met.

"Father, how can you see that you are unhappy, has something happened to you?"

Father Lin sighed, sat on the chair, and took a sip of tea first, "Alas, there was a big incident last night, and the saint was furious, and now it has made the people of the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military people panic, and even martial law has begun in the city." ”

He once asked: "Is the big thing Lord Lin said about the theft of the imperial tomb?"

"Huh, you've heard about that, too?"

"When I entered the city this morning, I listened to the guards guarding the city, and I heard a little, but I don't know the specifics. ”

"Alas——, last night, a gang of thieves sneaked into the imperial mausoleum, killed the yin and yang officials guarding the mausoleum, and wantonly looted the burial offerings in the imperial mausoleum. This group of thieves ate the gall of a bear's heart and a leopard, and they dared to disturb the rest of the first emperor. ”

Father Lin took another sip of tea, and then said: "Now Long Yan is furious, the Holy Lord has issued a holy decree, within three days, if these thieves are not arrested, some officials related to this will all apologize with death. ”

"So what's going on now?"

"This time is the dereliction of duty of the "Zhenling Great Yin and Yang Official" who is in charge of guarding the tomb and worshipping, he has received a holy decree to deal with this matter, although our civil and military officials have different official positions and powers from the "Yin and Yang Officials", but they are officials of the same dynasty, and they still have some friendship, I hope they can get through this difficulty!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen was thoughtful, he pulled Yichao elsewhere, and whispered: "Brother Yichao, I see that the opportunity has come." ”

He looked at Lin Chen with a puzzled face.

"What chance?"

"Let me ask you, we have already obtained three items of the five elements mentioned by Mr. Yigua, and as for the barefoot gold dust, I can also rush out tonight, and there is only one item left!"

"You mean kaolin?"

"That's exactly what happened, the 'Alpine Ridge Soil' was produced in the snow-capped mountains of the Western Regions, and it was obviously not feasible for us to go there to dig the soil. Legend has it that among the burial objects of the first emperor, there was a piece of pottery made of kaolin. Yo hey, originally we had to figure out how to get it to the Imperial Tomb, but it seems that someone has already helped us do it this time. ”

"You're saying there's a good chance the tomb robber stole the pottery?"

"How is it impossible? It can be used as the funeral goods of the first emperor, of course, they are some priceless treasures, like these items that are easy to steal, if you are a thief, will you steal it?"

Once opened up by Lin Chen's words, "That's right, then, this is really a nowhere to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!"

"Hey——, don't be too happy, as it is going to be difficult for us to get hold of the pottery, first we need to know where the thieves are hiding, and then we have to make sure that they have stolen the treasure. ”

"So, what are we going to do now?"

"In my opinion, instead of 'talking on paper' at home, we should go out and look for clues, and we may not really be able to run into this gang of thieves. ”

"Yes, then let's go now, and the sooner we can find these grave robbers, the better. ”

The current Chang'an City has been made full of wind and rain by this gang of thieves. When the two came out of their homes, they saw soldiers patrolling the streets four times, and they scrutinized everyone on the road, sparing no suspicious person.

The walls are also plastered with bounty notices stating that anyone who can provide important clues will be rewarded.

"Brother Yi, it seems that God is helping us this time! If we can catch these thieves, maybe we can not only get what we want, but also be crowned an official......

Before Lin Chen finished speaking, he heard someone shouting towards them, "What person, don't run!"

They looked back at where the sound had come from, and it was the patrolling soldiers shouting.

Ever since he and Lin Chen came out of the Lin Mansion, someone has been following and following the two. This person is a thief with a thief and a suspicious behavior, even if he is not at this moment of martial law, he will be regarded as some outlaw.

was shouted by the soldier, the man immediately panicked, panicked, ran headlong into Yichao and others, and hurriedly ran out, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward to chase him.

Once recognized, this person was one of the five suspicious people he had encountered at the restaurant not long ago. It was only then that the gang was linked to the tomb robbers. Before the man had run far, he immediately took out the tracking charm and threw it at the man, sticking to his back.

"I remember this man!"

"What's wrong?"

He explained to Lin Chen: "I was in the restaurant just now, and I met a group of suspicious characters, and I suspected their identities at that time, and now I am even more certain, they may be related to the theft of the imperial tomb!"

"Then what are you waiting for?

So, once Lin Chen and the others followed behind the soldiers, chasing this suspicious person together.

The person who escaped was also a "thief", and he was naturally skilled, and he couldn't walk the eaves and walls, and after a while, he threw the pursuers away, and he didn't know where to flee.

The two of them followed behind, and also chased after him out of breath, although he let him run, but once he saw this group of thieves stained with special mud, this kind of soil is for burying the dead, so there is a slight cold atmosphere, if you can follow the breath, maybe there is a chance to find this person.

This trace of cold air was just left, not difficult to find, and finally came to the gate of the city with the breath, "I think this person should have escaped from the city, what should we do now?"

Lin Chen: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger!" It seems that we have to go outside the city for a walk this time, and when we go out of the city, can you still smell that breath?"

Yiyi: "It's okay, but the taste seems to be getting weaker and weaker." ”

Lin Chen: "Without further ado, let's go!"

The two of them said a word and headed out of the city.

After walking for more than ten miles of mountain roads, I climbed over a few low hills and arrived at a dense forest. Although it is not far from the city, it is still off the beaten track. Turning around into the depths of the forest, they found a hidden cave under an inconspicuous dirt slope, which looked like an abandoned den of wild beasts, and the mouth of the cave was littered with the remains of animals. Approaching the entrance of the cave, you can faintly hear the voices of people coming from inside.

No one could have imagined that there were still Tibetans here!

"This should be the place, right?"

Once lying on the edge of the cave, the probe looked at the situation in the cave. But the cave is so deep and dark that you can't see what's inside until you go inside.

Lin Chen patted Yichao's shoulder and whispered, "Don't enter the tiger's den......"

"Let's go, go in and have a look. ”

The inside of the cave is the size of a small house, and you can only see it when you walk into the cave.

When I came in, I realized that this hole was so shallow.

However, in one of the corners of the hole, there is a small hole, which seems to have been dug by hand. The entrance to the cave is small enough to allow only one person to enter or exit. The human voice came out of this small hole, and it seems that there is something hidden in this hole in the hole.

The two of them had just taken a few steps, and I don't know who accidentally touched the mechanism at the entrance of the cave, and a "heaven and earth net" fell from the sky, and the two people were trapped, and the rope that tied the big net was pulled by the mechanism and contracted, like a prey in the trap, hanging people in the air.

The people in the cave also heard the sound of the mechanism, the guys, and "drilled" out of the small hole one after another like mice, and surrounded Lin Chen and the two of them.

Once they saw that the man they were tracking was among them. The man also recognized him, and said to a man who seemed to be the leader of the band, "Boss, this is him, and he has what we want." ”

"Are you sure it's him?"

"That's right, all five of us saw it with our own eyes, and he had a toad head in his hand. ”

It turned out that the suspicious five people I had seen in the restaurant at one time, none of them were missing, and they were all standing in front of them at this moment.

The leader of the thieves laughed and said to the two, "Hahahaha, I... I was thinking... Want... I'm going to look for you, no... Not... Expected that you yourself... Send-send-send... It's coming!"
