Chapter 12: The Secret Struggle
The reason why Huang Lao was able to catch the golden-colored qi carp from the Princess Tomb was because the corpse in that Princess Tomb itself carried the royal dragon qi of the Qing Dynasty! The dragon's qi transforms into carp, that's a process of feeding back!
How am I going to explain to my dad how I know this? I'm sure I'll be scolded if I tell the truth. I was taking a risk to make a deal with Huang Lao, who knows that the opposite side is not Huang Lao but another person, even so, I was also found in the office, I thought about it myself and was scared, I froze for a long time, if this Lin Bachan took this USB flash drive while I was frothing, wouldn't I be crying without tears?
"In the past few days, I was bored, and in the store, I turned over a Yiyang County county history, I saw something from it, and I just thought of it by association. Of course this is also my speculation, yes or no is still uncertain." I said.
"That should be it right, don't act rashly. Wait for my news, and also, be safe." My old man said.
Hanging up the phone, but I can not calm down, the truth, I got the truth! I have in my hands a drawing of the only princess's chambers in this world! What could be the greatest treasure inside? The Qing Dynasty family owned most of the treasures in almost the whole country, how powerful would it have to be to be called a supreme treasure among all those treasures?
And I almost sold this drawing for five million dollars!
Just as I was getting excited, an email alert came from underneath my computer, and this time, it was this person who sent me a message, "If I'm not wrong, you should know what that drawing really represents by now. What have you decided to do next to cooperate?"
"I'm curious as to who you really are." I returned.
"I think you may be asking a little too many questions, who do you work with is different? I'm sure I can give you maximum profit and you'll get much more than you expected?" He returned.
"I'm more curious about how exactly you found me." I continued to ask questions, but my head was thinking fast, do I want to work with this Lin Bachan or not? The person I trust the most should be my old man, but my old man is a flower breeder, that is, if he has a map, it would be futile to let the two of us dig the Princess Grave, followed by my second uncle, Zhao Baji, but this Zhao Baji, my old man doesn't trust him, and I can't trust him completely either.
After thinking about it, I think Master Zhao is more trustworthy. My old man is suspicious of him is not understandable, but I myself feel that my old man may have a victimized paranoia, second uncle's performance I can not see a trace of doubt, and without his secret help and the surface to make a gesture of support for my family, perhaps Huang Lao has long taken extreme measures.
"Now there are three families interested in this figure, Huang, Zhao, including you, perhaps I need an auction? There's also the fact that I can't afford to offend any of these three, so allow me to think about it." After saying that, I shut down the computer without waiting for him to reply.
–I've kind of been in the antique business for a few days this time, underground treasures have a fatal attraction to anyone, including myself, if I get that supreme treasure then I won't have to go and envy Zhao Bajie from the depths of my heart because I'll become extremely powerful myself.
But not to mention the problem of pouring children, I have drawings but the old white neck a no way to start, is to get the treasure, I sold to who this is a problem, I always too young, ultimately, I definitely want to cooperate with one of these three – this is in the case of if I want to get this treasure under the premise.
But I'm not a fool, even if I cooperate with them, after they get the drawings, they can also instantly kill me, with the Empress Dowager Cixi killed my grandfather, I died under the Princess Grave, is a very normal thing, God does not know the ghost is not it?
After thinking about it like this, I even have a feeling that I have no way to start.
Just at this time, the office sounded a knock on the door, the person who walked in was not Chen Jiuzi, but my second uncle Zhao Bachan, he smiled at me and walked to my side to pick up that Yiyang County Records flipped through a glance, said: "It seems that you already know everything."
He decided to show his cards to me! I still felt a heavy pressure in the face of Zhao Bajie.
"Yes, probably know a little." I said.
He laughed lightly and also took out a USB flash drive and plugged it into my computer, then turned it on and played a video, in which all of my conversations with Lin Bachi including his actions were recorded.
I looked back, behind me, was a big exhibition of calligraphy and painting, it seems that the location of this camera was in there, while I was constantly being watched by Zhao Bachan.
"You treat me like this as a minion, and you do think too highly of me, as far as this is concerned?" I laughed bitterly.
Buster Zhao shushed me and said, "Watch quietly."
He stared at the computer screen, the quality of this camera looked quite good, the picture was taken very clearly, finally, the picture was fixed, in this picture, Lin Bachan was looking at me, Zhao Bajie replayed it a few times, and said, "Can you see anything yet?"
This was before I fell into a daze. Lin Bachi in the image was just looking at me, but his finger strangely ticked a few times, and I couldn't remember the next image at all, which meant that he just ticked his little finger a few times, and I fell into that state of sleep.
I nodded and said, "What is this? Witchcraft?"
Zhao Bajie pulled out the flash drive and said, "I don't know, but I do know that this person knew that he wouldn't be able to get out of your room even if he got the flash drive, so he didn't do it, maybe he understood this before he came, but he still came, do you know why?"
"No idea." I was like a fool, completely unable to imagine that just in this room, the moment I spoke to Lin Bachan, around me, there were so many open and shut battles going on.
"He was demonstrating, demonstrating to me." He said.
"Who is he?" I asked.
"I don't know, but it should be a very powerful person." Zhao Bajie said.
I laughed bitterly, the whole person buried in the seat, lice do not bite, there are very powerful people everywhere, I can not afford to mess with any of them, Zhao Bajie's words were analyzed Lin Bachan, but at the same time, it was also said to me.
"In fact, you are also conveying a meaning to me, that is, if you want to take things from me, it is also as easy as a hand, right?" I said.
He shrugged, noncommittal. After a while, he said, "Great nephew, if I wanted to, I would have gotten it long ago, that night I was just escorting your old man for a ride, but it turned out that he thought I was going to hide from the corpse so he abandoned the car and went off over the side road, or else do you think that I really couldn't stop him? Believe it or not, I don't have a family anymore, not a single one. Some things aren't as important to me as family."
I looked at him, he also looked at me, at least at this time I saw sincerity from his eyes, I feel that the words have been said at this point, Zhao Bajie also did want if he had gotten it a long time ago, this suspicion should also be lifted.
I took out the flash drive, threw it in front of him, said: "Take it, this thing in my hands useless."
He looked at me and kept smiling, it was the kind of smile if nothing else, after a while, he pushed this to me and said, "Take it great nephew, this is what your grandfather left you, you don't know in order to protect him, your grandfather is how exhaustive consideration over this life."
Give him he don't want this basically there is nothing more to say, I doubt his words again would indeed be a bit ungrateful, I accepted the USB flash drive and said, "I can't do it alone, although to be honest, there are treasures that anyone would want, and you have the ability to do that, don't you?"
He patted my shoulder and said, "The water of the Sand River has dried up, the Supreme View has not yet fallen, and it's not yet time to level the Princess Tomb."
After a while, he murmured, "It should be soon too."
–Yes, it is indeed soon, a few days later, I received a call from my old man, saying that the remaining hills in the back of the mountain, were contracted. Prepared to do tourism development purposes, this back of our village children's mountain is a soil mountain, in the past when there is no circulation of no-burn bricks here are on-site brick factory, eating soil is very serious, itself is not large back of the mountain is only left so a piece.
How was this piece left? Isn't it because there's a supreme god up there? Those brick kiln owners do not dare to offend the gods, otherwise the soil below once eaten to make bricks, the supreme view is not gone?
Now the only remaining supreme view of a hill under the contract, the contractor is no one else, it is Huang Lao.
He could not wait, after all, has been more than a hundred years old.
If Supreme View doesn't fall, he's going to make him fall!
