Siheyuan: Killing the gods against the will of heaven, causing great suffering to all living beings

Their eyes were particularly attracted by one thing, which was an exquisite ancient painting. The painting depicted a vivid landscape, as if they could feel the wind blowing and the water flowing in the painting.

"This painting is so beautiful," Leon exclaimed.

"Indeed, the skill of this painting is truly unique," Han Xiaodong agreed.

Just as they were admiring the paintings, someone suddenly came over and stood beside them.

"Are you also interested in this painting?" the man asked.

Han Xiaodong and Leon turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing next to them, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Yes, this painting is indeed attractive." Han Xiaodong replied politely.

"This is one of the collections I carefully selected." The middle-aged man said proudly, "I believe it will become a shining pearl in this auction."

Han Xiaodong and Leon had an idea that perhaps this middle-aged man knew some information about antiques, so they decided to talk to him to see if they could get some clues from him.

"I heard that there are other rare treasures in your auction this time." Han Xiaodong deliberately asked, "I wonder if there are any other items worth paying attention to?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said mysteriously: "Of course, our auction has gathered many precious items, each of which is enough to make people fascinated."

"Then can you tell us some information about an antique?" Leon asked casually, "We are very interested in a certain antique, I wonder if you can provide some help."

A trace of vigilance flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He smiled and said, "Antiques are indeed a mysterious art, but it is not easy to find truly valuable antiques."

"But we heard that there is a very valuable antique on the market." Han Xiaodong deliberately led the topic to the antique they were looking for. "Have you heard any rumors about that antique?"

The middle-aged man was silent for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer. Finally, he sighed and said, "Maybe I can give you some clues, but not for free."

Han Xiaodong and Leon's hearts moved. They knew that this middle-aged man might have some important information, but they also understood that this would not be an easy task.

"We are willing to pay a certain price." Han Xiaodong said solemnly, "As long as you can provide useful clues, we will definitely give you a suitable reward."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, as if he was quite satisfied with their answer. "Well, since you are so sincere, I won't hide it." He said, "Have you heard of 'Lost Things'?"

Han Xiaodong and Leon were shocked. They were familiar with this name. It was exactly the name of the antique they were looking for.

"'Lost Things'?" Leon asked, "Do you know any news about it?"

The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously, and then said: "'The Lost Thing' is a legendary antique that is said to have mysterious powers and can bring endless wealth and power."

"But this is just a legend. Few people have actually seen the 'lost object'." He continued, "However, I heard that someone recently sold an item that looks very similar in the market. You can go and ask about it."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, looking at the excitement flashing in Han Xiaodong and Leon's eyes, and seemed quite satisfied with their performance.

"You're welcome." He said, "As long as you are willing to work hard, I believe you will find the 'lost things' you are looking for."

"We certainly will." Han Xiaodong nodded solemnly, his determination to find antiques becoming even stronger.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, the middle-aged man left them and continued to wander around the auction. Han Xiaodong and Leon stayed where they were, immersed in the clues they had just obtained during the conversation.

"We finally have clues to the 'lost things'." Leon said excitedly, "We have to go to the market to find out."

“Yes, but we have to be careful,” Han Xiaodong warned. “This market may be full of various risks. We can’t take it lightly.”

After discussing it, they decided to go to the market immediately. They hurriedly left the auction hall and drove to the city center.

The market is a bustling and lively place, with all kinds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. It is bustling with people and very lively.

Han Xiaodong and Leon walked among the crowd, constantly asking for information about the 'lost object'. They asked many stall owners and passers-by, but did not get much useful information. When they were about to give up, an old man came over and said to them mysteriously:

"Are you looking for the 'lost thing'?"

Han Xiaodong and Leon looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope emerged in their hearts. They nodded to the old man, indicating that they were indeed looking for this item.

The old man narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps I can help you."

They followed the old man to a corner of the market, which was quieter than other places and seemed to hide some unknown secrets.

"It's not easy to get information about the 'lost things'." The old man whispered, "But I have some clues that may be able to help you."

Han Xiaodong and Leon listened with great interest, and couldn't wait to hear the old man's next words.

"I heard that there is a businessman named Amos who has been secretly selling some antiques recently, which may include the 'lost objects'." The old man said, "But Amos does not easily reveal his whereabouts. If you want to find him, I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Han Xiaodong and Leon's hearts moved. They understood that this search would not be easy, but they were willing to pay any price to find the clues they needed.

"Thank you for your help." Han Xiaodong expressed his gratitude to the old man, "We will try our best to find Amos."

The old man smiled and nodded, then turned and left them, disappearing into the crowd.

Han Xiaodong and Leon felt excited and nervous. They knew that they were one step closer to their goal, but they also realized that the road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges.

"We have to act quickly," Leon said, "Amos may change his whereabouts at any time."

"Yes, we have to find him." Han Xiaodong nodded, "I know someone who can help us."

They quickly left the market and drove to a friend of Han Xiaodong's. This friend was named Allen, a cunning and witty man who had been wandering in the undercurrent of the city for many years and was very familiar with some secret information.
