Huh!

He walked over, gently lifted a piece of rag behind the Buddha statue, and found a secret door.

"There is a secret door here." Huo Jilin said.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan hurried over. Hu Bayi looked at the secret door and said, "It seems that this Taoist priest is indeed problematic. Let's go in and take a look."

Huo Jilin nodded and carefully pushed open the secret door. Behind the door was a narrow passage, and the passage was filled with a pungent smell.

They walked along the passage for a while and came to a basement. There were several dim oil lamps in the basement, and a Taoist priest was sitting at a table, fiddling with some antiques.

When the Taoist priest saw them coming in, a trace of panic appeared on his face, but he soon regained his composure. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Huo Jilin looked at the Taoist coldly and said, "Don't pretend. We are here to get our things back."

The Taoist pretended to be surprised and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I am just an ordinary Taoist who practices here."

Wang Kaixuan said angrily, "You still dare to quibble? The antiques you sold to us are fake. You cheated us out of one million."

The Taoist laughed loudly, "What evidence do you have to prove that the antiques were sold to you by me? Besides, antiques are hard to distinguish between true and false. You made a mistake. Who can you blame?"

Huo Jilin said, "Don't think we can't do anything to you. I have already investigated. You specialize in using fake antiques to deceive people. Many people have been fooled by you. . If you do n’t return the money to us today, we will send you to the police station. Said: "Well, I can return the money to you. But you have to promise me, you can't say my affairs." Huo and Lin said: "As long as you return the money to us, we can not investigate your responsibility. But if you dare to deceive you with the ancient times, we will never let you nod and take a check from Huo. It is a million checks, you can take it. Walking out of the ruined temple, Huo Jilin sighed deeply.

"We were really careless this time. We must be more careful in the future and not let this happen again." Huo Jilin said.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also nodded.

They knew that in the antique industry, traps are everywhere, and only by staying vigilant at all times can we avoid being deceived again.

...

Half a month later, late at night, the quiet streets were shrouded in darkness, and only the occasional sound of insects broke the silence.

Huo Jilin's antique shop seemed particularly quiet in the night, but a sudden disaster was about to come.

The fake Taoist priest had been holding back a grudge since he was forced by Huo Jilin and others to return one million last time. He felt that he had been in this business for so long and had never suffered such humiliation. So he gathered a group of apprentices and decided to teach Huo Jilin a lesson.

The group of people quietly came to the antique shop at night. The fake Taoist priest looked gloomy and said to his disciples behind him: "Today we will teach Huo Jilin a lesson and let him know the consequences of offending us." The disciples nodded, rubbing their hands, ready to fight.

They smashed the door of the antique shop and rushed in. There was a crackling sound in the shop, the antique shelves were knocked down, and porcelain, jade and other antiques were scattered all over the floor.

The next morning, Huo Jilin came to the antique shop and was stunned by the scene in front of him. The shop was in a mess, and antique fragments were everywhere. His face turned livid in an instant, and anger burned in his heart.

"Who did this?" Huo Jilin roared.

At this time, the shop assistant Xiao Li ran over and said in horror: "Boss, it was that fake Taoist priest. He brought a group of people to smash the shop last night."

Huo Jilin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "I will never let this bastard go."

After hearing the news, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan also rushed to the antique shop. Hu Bayi frowned at the mess. "Old Huo, this fake Taoist priest is too much. We must find a way to deal with him."

Wang Kaixuan said angrily: "That's right, we can't letHe is so arrogant. We have to teach him a lesson. "

Huo Jilin calmed down and thought about countermeasures. "This fake Taoist dared to do this, he must be fearless. We can't act rashly, we have to find out his details first."

Hu Bayi said: "That's right, we have to investigate his whereabouts and background first, and then find a way to deal with him."

Wang Kaixuan said: "Then let's act quickly. I don't believe we can't deal with him."

The three began to inquire about the fake Taoist. They searched every corner of the city and asked many people, but they didn't get any useful clues.

Just when they felt helpless, a mysterious old man appeared in front of them. The old man was wearing simple clothes, and his eyes revealed a deep wisdom.

The old man looked at them and said slowly: "Are you looking for the fake Taoist?"

Huo Jilin and others looked at the old man in surprise, and asked quickly: "Do you know where he is?"

The old man smiled slightly and said: "This fake Taoist has done many evil things, and I have been paying attention to him. I know he is hiding in a mountain outside the city now. "

Huo Jilin said gratefully: "Thank you, old man. We will definitely catch him and seek justice for our antique shop."

The old man nodded and said: "But you have to be careful, this fake Taoist priest is very cunning, and he has a group of apprentices around him, which is not easy to deal with."

Hu Bayi said: "We will be careful. No matter how cunning he is, we will not let him go."

Following the guidance of the old man, the three came to the mountain outside the city. The mountain was densely wooded and the road was rugged. They moved forward cautiously, always alert to the movements around them.

After walking for a while, they found a cave hidden in the woods. There were several fake Taoist apprentices guarding the entrance of the cave.

Wang Kaixuan whispered: "It seems that this is their hiding place. What should we do?"

Huo Jilin said: "Observe the situation first and see if there is a chance to sneak in. "

They hid aside and observed the movements of the disciples. After a while, one of the disciples left the cave and went to fetch water nearby.

Huo Jilin said: "The opportunity has come. Let's take the opportunity to sneak in."

The three of them quietly came to the cave entrance and quickly slipped into the cave while the other disciples were not paying attention. The cave was dark and damp, and filled with a pungent smell.

They walked forward carefully and finally found the fake Taoist priest deep in the cave!
