Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

"right here?"

That night, after 10 o'clock, I followed Lao Mian into Huozhuang Village next to the reservoir. Finally, Lao Mian took me to a small one-story house. The surrounding was very quiet. Through the window, I saw a light in the house.

Lao Mian stepped aside and said, "Go in, it's not convenient for me to go in."

Taking a deep breath, I straightened my clothes and hairstyle, then straightened my back and pushed the door open.

Inside the room, a wrinkled old pedant was sitting in a wheelchair, while the young man with a short cut was standing beside him with an indifferent expression. This man was the old pedant's personal bodyguard, Dongbei Xiaokai from Tagou Martial Arts School.

I haven't seen him for several years, and the old pedant is even older. Not to mention his white hair, his face is covered with wrinkles like a piece of dead bark. I roughly calculated that he should be no less than 98 years old this year.

The old pedant leaned on the wheelchair with his eyes closed. If he hadn't been spinning a string of emerald beads in his hand, I would have thought he was dead.

I took two steps forward to get closer to the wheelchair, but Xiao Kai blocked it with his hand.

The old pedant didn't open his eyes to look at me, didn't speak, and I wasn't in a hurry, so he sat on a chair beside him.

The two sides fell into a short silence.

In the end, the old pedant slowly opened his eyes. Unlike his old face, his eyes looked very clear, like a boy.

He said hoarsely, "Little Xiangzi, haven't we seen each other for a few years?"

I said, "Old man, it has been three and a half years since we left Heishui City in Yinchuan."

"Well, is your master's thousand-year-old vixen still in good health? Is he dead?"

"Thank you, my master is in good health."

The old pedant suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently, and Xiao Kai who was taking care of him immediately handed over a towel.

The old pedant wiped his mouth, pointed at me and said, "Little Xiangzi, do you know that you are going to die this time? Let me ask you, tell me the truth, have you ever killed anyone?"

"no!"

I immediately got up and said excitedly: "I, Xiang Yunfeng, dare to swear to God! I usually don't even dare to kill a chicken! How dare I kill people!"

The old pedant coughed twice again and said, "It's good that you haven't killed anyone. It's probably about ten years, but unfortunately, when you come out, the children of your confidante friends will probably be in elementary school."

Hearing this, I thought to myself: "I'm not f*cking scared! Who are you scaring, old man? I'm afraid of you? Don't forget, you were originally a tomb robber! You're not clean at all!"

Of course, I dare not say these words clearly.

I said: "Old man, to you, I'm just a trivial thief, you can use your words to let me go as a fart! The key is, can I, a little person, bring you great value?" !"

The old pedant turned the jade bracelet in his hand, he nodded: "Continue talking."

I immediately said: "We can make a deal. I have found a lot of tombs in the past few years, and quite a few of them are still intact, but they have not been discovered! You just pretend that I didn't come to Handan this time. Then I will immediately write a list of the location of the tomb, and then offer it with both hands, isn't your ultimate goal to protect cultural relics?"

The old pedant frowned and asked me: "Oh? Would you eat it if there was a big tomb?"

"It's not that we don't want to eat, it's that we haven't had time to do it yet!"

He thought about it, asked Xiao Kai to hand me the paper and pen, and said to write down a few locations of the tomb for me to see.

I quickly recalled in my mind, I was recalling the contents of the notebook that Master Wu gave me!I didn't lie to him, the notebook did record ancient tombs in many places.

I first wrote down the locations of the two Warring States tombs in Jize and Zaozhuang, and then handed them over to him.

The old pedant took a look at the paper, frowned and asked, "If you dare to lie to me, do you know the consequences?"

I immediately stated: "I know! But I can only guarantee that the information on these ancient tombs is true. As for whether they have been stolen in the past two years, I can't guarantee that!"

The old pedant returned the paper to me and asked me to continue writing.

I wrote furiously and wrote down more than half of the ancient tomb information recorded in the Northern School Notebook. There are at least forty ancient tombs that have not been discovered.

The old pedant took it away and looked carefully for a long time, and he could see a little excitement in his eyes.

Afterwards, he folded the paper and handed it to Xiao Kai, and said to me: "I can make this deal with you, this time I will turn a blind eye, but I can only guarantee that these agreements are only in my It is valid when you are still alive, do you understand what I mean?"

"Then I'll pack up and leave Handan right away!"

I understand what he said, he can pretend he didn't see me when he was alive, but when he dies one day in the future, all the promises and agreements will be invalidated, and it is up to me whether I will be liquidated or continue to live happily luck.

"No, you can't go yet," the old scholar suddenly shook his head and said, "Jiu Qingning, you have to stay here, and you have to help me with one thing."

"You said."

"What I want you to do is very simple, listen...... No matter what reason you use, I want you to convince that woman Jiu Qingning, and let her take the goods of Daming to the south to sell. "

"Why?" I asked, frowning.

Xiao Kai helped the old pedant to stand up from the wheelchair, and the old pedant walked up to me with his hands behind his back. He said coldly: "In recent years, some cultural relic dealers in the south have been too rampant, and they don't care about us people at all. Here, old man, I must say this, this batch of goods from the north is the most delicious bait, and I use it to catch big fish in the deep sea in the south."

I understood immediately what he meant.

At that time, most of the smuggling of cultural relics out of the country was in the south, and the north accounted for 30.00% of the incident, while the south accounted for 70.00%!And in the 30.00% share in the north, the four brothers of the Song family in Luoyang alone accounted for more than 20.00%!

I'm speaking bluntly. This is because the higher-ups must focus on cracking down on the smuggling of cultural relics. You must know that many national treasure-level cultural relics go abroad by boat in the south!At the same time, I am also secretly thankful, because the principle that Batou and I have been following these years is: "Sell the goods inside, not outside!" The main target of the old pedants this time is not us people!

The old pedant took a sip of his tea and suddenly asked, "Little Xiangzi, I still want to ask you, how much did you sell that bird for?"

"Bird? What bird? I don't know." I pretended not to understand.

The old pedant reminded me blankly: "I'm talking about the national treasure Miaoyin Bird, the one from Heishui City."

"Huh? Didn't you guys take that thing away in the end? And the Buddha of Tears." I continued to pretend to be crazy, anyway, he couldn't try to get the truth out of me.

The old pedant kept looking at me.

After a few seconds, he looked away from my face, looked out of the window, and said lightly: "You go, remember our deal, and besides, I hope you will never become a person like your master, because that kind of People can be scary."

After I came out, I was restless. What does the old pedant's last code word mean?

......

(At the time, I thought that I was very good at negotiating conditions with this kind of white-faced big shot, but after a long time, I realized that the reason why I was able to save myself this time was because the old pedant died in Yinchuan three years ago. Agree to the first condition! That condition is to let me go in the future.)

(I don't know what the head paid for, but the head seems to have bought me a security policy years ago.)

(In other words, what secrets are hidden that I don't know about the return to Heishui City...)
