Hearing my words, Xu Yang nodded, gratefully took out his phone and started to contact the museum.
I walked to the door of the detention center, lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"Big Ear, did you find something?" Duanmuqing saw my appearance, walked up to me and asked me strangely.
I nodded, and then said: "The auras of those five people are a bit weird, very distant, and very powerful."
When I checked those five, I felt a special smell, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
Because I vaguely felt that the owner of that aura was an extremely powerful being, and that desolate and distant aura made me worry whether that thing came from some ancient powerful being.
So I'm a little worried, after all, it's been too troublesome recently.
Just the generals and the Hanbao have already made me a little anxious. When another ancient and powerful existence comes, I really can't resist it.
But I can't ignore this matter, so now I'm in a very unhappy mood.
After Xu Yang came out, he drove directly to the museum.
The seized cultural relics were originally placed in the warehouse above and were guarded by dedicated personnel.
Later, something happened and it was moved to the museum's underground warehouse for storage, where it didn't need to be guarded by anyone.
Xu Yang simply went through the formalities, and then a few of us were led by the staff towards the basement.
The seized cultural relics were placed in a special warehouse. The staff opened the door and left, leaving me to go in by myself.
Xiaobai, Duanmuqing and I are not ordinary people, so of course we won’t worry about these things.
However, Xu Yang felt a little scared when he thought of those five crazy guys, but when he thought that with me around, nothing would happen, so Xin Yiheng followed him in.
Those cultural relics were placed in a corner of the room. They were not placed properly, but were placed on the ground haphazardly. It seemed that the museum staff were also a little afraid of the evil nature of these cultural relics.
Those cultural relics were covered with a layer of black cloth. Duanmuqing walked over and ripped off the black cloth, revealing the cultural relics underneath.
Seeing those cultural relics, Duanmuqing and I couldn't help but gasp.
It turns out that these are not ordinary cultural relics, but several bronze vessels, and they are all quite small.
Anyone who plays antiques knows that things like bronzes are taboo. If you are caught reselling such cultural relics, it will be a serious crime.
Especially for bronzes with inscriptions and carvings, the prices are sky-high.
There are as many as seven or eight bronzes placed in front of us now, and some of them have obvious patterns that can be seen at a glance.
"Experts have looked at this batch of cultural relics. It is initially estimated that they come from the tomb of a noble in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. It is still unclear whether these cultural relic dealers robbed the tomb themselves or bought it from tomb robbers." Xu Yang
He walked up to us and said.
I nodded. Those five guys were all crazy now, so naturally they couldn't ask anything.
These bronze vessels are covered with patina, and traces of soil can be clearly seen on them. It seems that they were unearthed not long ago.
There is an aura of antiquity on these objects, and there is no doubt that they are genuine antiques and not fakes.
I walked forward and focused on one of the bronze vessels.
It was a bronze wine bottle with clear patterns on it.
The pattern is a bit abstract, like some kind of beast. The specific shape cannot be seen clearly, but the two eyes are huge.
I hesitated for a moment, then stretched out my hand and took the bronze wine bottle directly into my hand.
The reason why I do this is of course not because I have a crush on this wine bottle.
To be honest, I haven't done much research on cultural relics, so of course I won't be too obsessed with them.
The reason why I picked up this wine bottle was because I felt that the scent on it was almost the same as the scent on the five tomb robbers.
If you guessed correctly, the source of the strange aura in the five tomb robbers came from this wine bottle!
I looked at the bronze wine bottle in my hand. Although I didn't understand cultural relics, I could still tell that the workmanship of this thing was very fine.
Especially the carved patterns on it are very particular.
In ancient times, only high-ranking officials could use and afford bronze utensils. There is no doubt that the owner of this wine glass must have been a person of great status.
"This pattern is the Taotie pattern. It is said to be the Taotie, a ferocious beast from ancient times." At this time, Xu Yang walked up to me and said.
Hearing his words, I turned around and glanced at him in surprise. I didn't expect that this guy actually did some research on antiques.
To be honest, I know nothing about these things, and I can't even recognize this pattern.
Seeing my gaze, Xu Yang smiled a little sheepishly, and then said: "I actually don't understand this. It's all what the experts who have authenticated cultural relics said."
I also laughed a little, thinking that's exactly what happened.
Although I didn’t recognize it as a Taotie pattern, I know the Taotie pattern very well.
The Taotie is a ferocious beast in legend. It has a delicious temperament and eats whatever it sees.
There are many legends about Taotie. Some say it was transformed from the head of Chi You after his death, while others say it was one of the nine sons of the dragon.
Moreover, Taotie, Qiongqi, Taotie, and Chaos are also called the four great ferocious beasts.
The Taotie ranks first among these four ferocious beasts, which shows how powerful it is.
According to legend, Taotie was greedy and extremely gluttonous, and later even wanted to swallow the sun in the sky.
It took the ancient goddesses Nuwa and Fuxi to defeat the ferocious beast at the same time and ban its soul forever.
Although the ferocious beast Taotie has never appeared in the world since then, its power and fear have always been with people.
This is also the reason why many cultural relics unearthed in ancient times have Taotie patterns on them.
Taotie, from a ferocious beast, gradually turned into a spiritual belief among people at that time.
"Is there something wrong with this thing?" Duanmuqing asked me.
I nodded solemnly. The aura on it was exactly the same as that of the five tomb robbers. It was no problem that there was a ghost.
The scent on this wine bottle is desolate and long-lasting. Although it is only a trace, it can still make me feel its power.
I held the wine bottle and felt the power on it, thinking with some disbelief, could this breath be gluttonous?
But hasn’t that ferocious beast had its soul sealed by Nuwa and Fuxi and disappeared for thousands of years?
But if it's not it, then who does the aura above come from?
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and poured a little of my strength into the bronze wine bottle.
At first, the power above didn't react at all, as if it was sleeping.
But the next moment, the remaining power reacted, as if it was awakened, and began to respond to my evil spirit.
I tried to gain some strength again.
But this time, the force on the wine bottle reacted very strongly, and it rolled over directly.
The next moment, my vision went dark, and then a pair of huge eyes appeared in front of me.
The owner of those eyes belonged to a huge head, and the monster was opening its bloody mouth and roaring at me.
I looked towards him and saw that the monster only had one head and no body behind it.
This picture just passed in front of my eyes. The next moment, my vision returned to normal, and the power on the bronze wine bottle disappeared.
The thing I just saw had a great impact on me, and its powerful momentum gave me an indescribable sense of oppression.
I took two steps back and exhaled heavily before I felt more comfortable.
"Master, are you okay?" Seeing my appearance, Xiaobai rushed over and helped me.
Duanmuqing and Xu Yang on the side looked at me worriedly.
I shook my head, indicating that it was okay, and then put the bronze wine bottle where it was.
Now that the strange and terrifying power on this thing has disappeared, this batch of cultural relics is no different from ordinary cultural relics.
Except for the bronze wine bottle, I didn't feel that aura on other ancient objects.
This made me a little confused, so I checked those things again, and finally found that only the bronze wine bottle had the Taotie pattern on it.
Coming to this conclusion, I thought, could the strange aura be related to the Taotie pattern?
I thought again of the huge monster I saw just now, the huge monster with only one head.
Obviously, it is the owner of that breath.
Although it didn't know where it was, there was a breath of it on the wine bottle. I used my evil spirit to interact with that breath, so I saw it.
I swallowed hard, thinking of the huge and frightening aura coming from the monster just now, and cold sweat broke out on my head.
The aura on that thing is really too powerful for me, more powerful than any Taozu I have ever seen.
Will it be Taotie?
If it is really the Taotie, what does the beast want to do? What is the relationship between those cultural relic dealers and these antiques and the Taotie?
Since these things no longer have the aura on them, there is no need to keep them.
We walked right out.
Xu Yang saw that my face had always been unhappy and he felt unsure, so he asked me cautiously: "Is there nothing big going to happen this time?"
I looked back at Xu Yang, knowing that my nervous look just now made him a little scared, so I smiled at him and said, "It's okay. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After hearing my words, Xu Yang nodded, feeling a little more relieved.
But after I comforted Xu Yang, I felt a wry smile in my heart. If that power really came from a ferocious beast, this would be a big deal!
