I looked at everything in front of me like a stone, and my heart was already in turmoil. How could I see this, how could I be here? This is completely impossible.
I was sitting in a small dark room. There was an antique wooden table in front of me. There was a very exquisite wooden box on my left hand side. There was a row of things on the table in front of me, which was an authentic dragon bone and two dragon bones.
rubbing.
Yes, I am sitting in my grandpa's secret room at this time, my head is as messed up as a pot of porridge. I can't figure out why I suddenly appeared here. Am I not in the tomb next to the old path of the Yellow River? Oh no, I should
I have escaped. Is it because I was unconscious for a long time and the monkeys sent me back?
No, if that were the case, I should be lying on a soft big bed in the hospital or at home, instead of sitting in this secret room that only the old man and I know.
My heart was agitated. Could it be that this was the first time I entered this secret room? I didn't go to see Blind Man Chen with the monkey? I didn't go to the old path of the Yellow River in Henan? I didn't enter that mausoleum either? All these experiences
Is it all just a dream?
This is so weird, I feel chills in my heart because of my thoughts. But the current situation has only this explanation. But those experiences were too real, and I know every detail of everything that happened there.
I remember that I felt that the boundary between reality and dream suddenly became blurred again, and I couldn't tell where was reality and where was dream.
"Pa!" I slapped myself hard. It hurt. I smiled bitterly. Would I do such a stupid thing in my dream? I have to believe that the me now is the most real me.
Taking a deep breath and recalling the experience in the dream, I suddenly thought that maybe this is not a good thing. If it was really a dream, at least Dabi would not die, and the bearded Liu De would not die.
Even cross-eyes may not betray us.
But at this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something placed in a corner under the table. I couldn't help but lower my head and looked at it, and my whole body suddenly became cold.
It was a black metal box, square in shape, with a simple and delicate shape, and fine patterns carved on it. I had never felt that it was so exquisite as I do now, but wasn't this exactly what I snatched back from the blood-eyed ghost corpse?
Something!
How could it be possible? This must be a fake. My heart was beating fast and I reached out to pick up the box. It turned out that the weight was exactly the same. I hurriedly reached into my arms and pulled out a delicate copper ring.
I was a little dumbfounded. All of this was actually real. Everything that happened in the dream became reality. I actually had a real dream.
Is this possible? My rationality tells me that everything that happened is unreasonable and unfounded. It is false. But my intuition tells me that everything is real. Not only everything I experienced in the dream is
It's real, even the illusions in dreams are real.
I suddenly remembered something, I couldn't help but take a breath, stood up quickly, and stared at the dragon bones on the table. After taking out these dragon bones, I had such a dream, which had to make me
I think it is causing trouble.
At this moment, I seemed to see the black moon on the keel flickering inexplicably again, but when I observed it, everything was normal again.
The situation became more and more weird, and I felt a chill running down my spine. I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at me in the dark, but I couldn't see or touch these eyes. This feeling was very strange.
of discomfort.
Just when I didn't know what to do, my cell phone rang in my pocket. I took it out and saw it was a monkey calling me. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
At this time, my thoughts had returned to the time when I first walked into this secret room. After pressing the answer button, I said directly: "Monkey, come to my place tonight."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for ten seconds before the monkey's voice came: "Hutou, are you scared to death? Isn't it night now? By the way, what do you mean by asking me to come to your place? You are now
Where are you? I haven't seen you since you crawled out of the hole in the ground. You must be fine, right?"
I felt a chill in my heart. Although I had already guessed that this would be the case, I still felt unacceptable after being confirmed by Monkey's words.
I tried my best to keep my tone calm, chuckled, and said, "I don't know where I am now. I guess it's not too far from the river. By the way, where are you now? How many of them are there?"
"We are on the edge of the Yellow River, and they are all fine. Hutou, let me tell you, the dragon's mouth here has collapsed, and even a large area on the other side of the mountain has collapsed. Now there are many people here. Green
There are a lot of skins coming too, if you come here, take it easy and don't get targeted."
In the end, I didn't even know how I hung up the phone. My mind was in chaos. I didn't dare to stay here any longer. I quickly restored everything to their original state and walked out of the secret room with the keel rubbings and the metal box.
It was dark and quiet outside the shop. Because this antique garden had just opened, there were no street lights yet. If there was no moon, it would be really hard to see. People walking on the road would not know who they bumped into.
As soon as I got back to my place, I received a phone call. I heard that the person's accent sounded like a Cantonese guy. I don't know where I got the news. I knew that I had a big-eared item in my possession, and he wanted to tell me about it.
I was worried that someone else's secret would be exposed, so I asked him where he knew about it and who gave him my contact information.
This Cantonese guy called himself A Bing. He didn’t tell me who disclosed the information. He just said that those in our industry must be well-informed. To make money in this business, the goods must be of good quality. But in this way, good things can be unearthed throughout the year.
There are only a few of them. In this situation, there is a difference between a quick hand and a slow hand. As long as you are well-informed, you can often take advantage of it. He said that if I can find you, others can naturally find you, but in terms of speed, I, A Bing, don’t know.
Slower than others.
What he said makes sense. There are fewer and fewer ancient tombs that can be found now, but the number of collectors on the market is constantly increasing. There are more monks and fewer people. The price of antiques is gradually rising, but it will be harder to find good ones.
, if you can be one step ahead of others on the news at this time, that is very critical.
Then we talked for a while. He was a very talkative person, very knowledgeable about the market conditions, and his words were clear and logical.
I gradually relaxed and listened to his conversation and knowledge. He didn't sound like someone from the yamen. After all, very few people knew about the bronze head. Even if it spread, it would definitely not reach the ears of the public. Besides,
Well, if the people from the yamen knew about it, they wouldn't need to talk to me here and they could just come and arrest the person.
After thinking about it, I agreed to meet him. What he said was right. In this industry, the more open the road, the easier it is to get around. We made an appointment and asked him to come directly to my place to meet and discuss it later. This was a proactive decision.
The power must be in his own hands. No matter how courageous he is, he will not dare to play any tricks here.
After hanging up, I called Monkey again and told him that I had something to discuss at the shop and would come back directly. I would not go over there.
In fact, it was because I was not mentally prepared to face them again. After I found out that everything I experienced was just a dream, even though I knew in my heart that those things were real, I still couldn't bear the thought of facing them.
, it feels very weird, as if it has two different appearances. I think this may be because I can’t accept this weird and inexplicable accident from my heart!
Two days later, I met A Bing in a teahouse not far from the shop. He was an authentic Cantonese, said to be from a place near Dongguan. A Bing looked to be in his forties, with a slight bald head and a slim figure.
Slightly chubby, he always has a smile on his face, and looks like he is in a good mood to make money.
As soon as we met, he greeted me warmly. He also knew that I was the grandson of the Rat King. With the old man’s reputation on the road, he was naturally very polite to me.
He doesn't know yet, but actually I didn't ask him to come here this time to sell the bronze head. The old man has already made it clear that that thing must not be disposed of randomly. I only asked him to come here for another thing.
I said, "Boss Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you to go all the way this time. I hope you don't mind."
"No, boss Wang is joking. In our industry, we need to run more. The more we run, the more business will grow. I wish I could run every day, haha." A Bing waved his hand and said with a smile, and then looked at it.
Look around and get to the point: "Boss Wang, I don't know about your goods..."
I shook my head and said to him straight to the point: "Boss Zhang, to be honest with you, I will not take action on the thing you mentioned."
After hearing this, A Bing's face changed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, rolled his eyes, and said: "Then why did you ask me to come over this time, Boss Wang?"
I nodded secretly. This A Bing is indeed a shrewd person. If most people heard my words, they would probably think that I was playing tricks on him. But A Bing could immediately think that I would not call him over for no reason.
, there must be something else going on. This shows that this person has a very delicate mind and is not an ordinary "pulling a train" fool.
I said: "To be honest, I don't dare to take action against that thing. It's too eye-catching, and getting it out would be troublesome. Although it won't work, I still have a strange item here that's still warm. I just don't know.
Do you dare to accept it?"
A Bing smiled, patted his chest and said: "Brother Wang, I won't hide the truth from you. I, A Bing, have been doing this for about twenty years. Although I am not very famous in this field, I still have a good reputation."
There are some that have names and surnames. Whether they are white, yellow, flowery or green, there is nothing that I, A Bing, dare not recruit. Don’t worry about this. And I, A Bing’s
He is also known for being tight-lipped, so be careful when doing business with me!"
I said that's fine. In that case, let's wait until we see the real thing.
