After the founding of the People's Republic of China, cultural relics are not allowed to become

Since you want to revisit the old place, you must be fully prepared, and don't be tricked like last time.Apart from going to see the Nine Dragon Sword, Qu Qingshi planned to transport the cultural relics up first—after all, it is not safe to store them underground and it is not easy to preserve them.

But there are many cultural relics that are difficult to move, such as the wooden Buddha of the Liao Dynasty, which is majestic and majestic, standing on a lotus platform, with ethereal and graceful lines, 2 meters high and about 70 centimeters wide. It is absolutely impossible to take him diving.

There are also a few paintings. Qu Qingshi doesn't study much about paintings, but Qi Ling's age and bearing should not be ordinary, and it is absolutely impossible to take them into the sewer.

So Qu Qingshi and Gu Haofeng studied for a few days, and decided to take out the ones that can be taken out first, and move them bit by bit like ants move, and find another route for those that can't be moved. a line.

So a week later, the four of them revisited their old places and returned to the warehouse.

This time was much more efficient than last time. Qu Qingshi was familiar with diving once and twice, and was no longer afraid of the dark environment under the water. After a long journey, the four finally arrived at their destination.

The warehouse was as untouched as when they left. Qu Qingshi looked at all the Chinese cultural relics and pointed out a few: "This bronze sheep statue, this Yuan Dynasty vase, and this, this..."

Gu Haofeng and the others moved quickly, quickly took out the materials in the bag, and packed the selected cultural relics tightly layer by layer.

After finishing speaking, Qu Qingshi grabbed the Nine Dragon Sword in the corner and said to several people: "You guys go ahead, I'll do something." He walked into the corner with the Nine Dragon Sword.

Nine Dragon Sword looked at him coldly, one person and one sword, silently confronting each other.

Qu Qingshi suddenly spoke to a sword: "Nine Dragon Sword, you have lived a glorious life, and you have been given to the king of a country since you were refined. Everyone is afraid that you will say that you are unknown, but Qianlong cherishes you very much. He even used you to behead Gao Tiande and Gou Wenming of the White Lotus Sect, you are a sacred relic of the imperial power, and you were even buried in the place closest to him."

"You were supposed to protect Qianlong and become the next emperor, but when you saw the light of day again, it was Sun Dianying who dug you out. Do you hate him to the bone?"

Jiulongjian sat in meditation, looking at his nose, nose and heart, expressionless.

"Later, you were in exile, and the people who handled you were not real dragons. The emperor couldn't hold you down, so you killed them one by one? Dai Li, Song Ziwen, Ma Hansan... Kawashima Yoshiko is the descendant of your master, and you killed them too. ?"

Jiulongjian looked up at him, but still didn't say anything.

Qu Qingshi simply sat down in front of the Nine Dragon Sword: "Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Qu Qingshi, a researcher at the National Academy of Cultural Relics. I came to look for it, but I didn’t expect to find it.”

"I don't have any other skills. My Qu family was a hero who protected the tripod back then, and I got the ability to see your spirits and communicate with you. Now people have different opinions about you. People are obsessed with ghosts, if you have anything to defend, you can tell me, and I will defend you."

After Qu Qingshi finished speaking, he sat opposite him and looked at him quietly.His eyes were firm, his temperament was clear, and he looked easy to trust. Nine Dragon Sword glanced at him and lowered his eyelids.

"If you don't want to say it, you can..."

Just when Qu Qingshi thought that Nine Dragons Sword would not speak, Nine Dragons Sword suddenly spoke in a clear and cool voice: "You are so ridiculous."

Nine Dragon Sword sneered and said: "I have no hands and no feet, but it's just an ordinary tool. It's just a decoration without you human beings. Although the years have given me wisdom, but wisdom can only make me think and not let me act. It will only make me more painful, now that you have done something wrong yourself, instead of looking for the truth, you are looking for absurd reasons that are illusory and untenable, and pushing the responsibility to a tool, putting the cart before the horse is unimaginable, it is ridiculous."

Qu Qingshi blushed a little at what he said, and argued: "Every weapon spirit will more or less acquire some other abilities, like Zeng Hou Yi Chime Bell can hit people from the air..."

Jiulongjian shook his head: "What if I say that I have never acquired these abilities?"

Qu Qingshi was speechless for a while.

Nine Dragon Sword continued: "You are right, I have lived a glorious life, and I have seen the most prosperous scenery of the Qing Dynasty. My master is the greatest and most wise monarch in the world. The country under my master's control is the most prosperous in the world. In the most affluent country, I was supposed to protect him after his death, but I didn’t expect Sun Dianying to dig me out when he saw the light of day again.”

"My Nine Dragon Sword is originally the most important treasure of the imperial relic, the unique emperor's sword! The day I see the sun should be when I reincarnate with my master and continue to be the emperor. I didn't expect that Sun Dianying's original intention to dig me out was actually Use me to humiliate my master, to humiliate my master's dynasty! Do you think I hate him?" When Nine Dragon Sword talked about this, his tone was a little agitated, with a little ups and downs, but he calmed down quickly, "But even if So I didn't kill him."

Qu Qingshi was silent, he asked: "What about the others?"

Nine Dragon Sword: "Do you want to ask how the other people died?"

Qu Qingshi nodded: "You said you didn't do anything, but the people who handled you all died. It's too coincidental, and Yao Jun who took your scabbard was also found to have died of a drug overdose in the past few days. .”

Jiulongjian seemed to have heard something funny, and interrupted him: "Then you touched me last time, why haven't you died yet?"

Qu Qingshi opened his mouth: "Maybe the contact time is too short..."

Nine Dragon Sword: "What I can tell you is that there are many people who owned me in that period of history, far more than those you just mentioned. How come they didn't die? I'm afraid you meddlers picked me on purpose. People who died unexpectedly came out and randomly compiled a story about killing people with the Nine Dragon Sword to increase the sense of mystery, am I right?"

"..." Qu Qingshi was speechless. It was difficult to record history in the era of war and chaos. In addition, the Nine Dragon Sword was like an unofficial legend. Although he had heard the story of the Nine Dragon Sword since he was a child, how true was it? Still to be verified.

Nine Dragon Sword: "After all, I'm just a sword and not a human being. I don't have a mouth and I can't speak up to defend myself. I can only accept the myths and legends that you humans have imposed on me. That's it, let you say it."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again, unwilling to talk to Qu Qingshi any more.

Qu Qingshi hesitated for a while before saying: "We do have some missing points in research, but this is exactly what we hope you can tell us, you are a witness to history, you are at the core of power, anyone who has experience with you It pales in comparison.”

"I am fortunate to have the ability to communicate with cultural relics. I hope to go back to the long river of history through communicating with you. I hope to talk to those romantic figures who are as brilliant as stars through you. You are living fossils and the bright future left in the long river of history. Treasure, isn’t this the meaning of cultural relics?”

Qu Qingshi paused, hoping that Nine Dragon Sword could say something, but Nine Dragon Sword had no intention of answering the question at all, so he could only continue: "So, you said their death has nothing to do with you, but at least you are One of the witnesses at the scene, I hope you can tell me what happened."

Jiulongjian sighed, and softened his attitude as if he was persuaded by Qu Qingshi: "I have a condition."

Qu Qingshi asked, "What condition?"

Nine Dragon Sword said: "My scabbard was snatched from you. You should be responsible. When you find the scabbard, I will tell you the truth."

Qu Qingshi nodded: "Sure, even if you don't tell me, I will go after the scabbard."

He took a piece of cloth to wrap the sword body, and then carried it on his back: "Then I wronged you to be with me during this time, and I will send you back to the country after finding the scabbard, maybe you can return to the Forbidden City."

But where does the scabbard come from?After returning to the ground, Qu Qingshi and Gu Haofeng fell into distress.

"Two possibilities," Gu Haofeng analyzed, "First, the scabbard is in Yao Jun's hands. Yao Jun knows the value of the scabbard. He hid the scabbard after returning home. Only he knows where to put it."

"Secondly, someone knew that Yao Jun had a scabbard in his hand, and he wanted to kill people and steal goods, so he tricked Yao Jun into taking drugs and caused him to overdose to death, and he took the scabbard and escaped."

Gu Haofeng pointed out: "The first situation is impossible. Yaoliang and Yaoguang went to turn Yao Jun's house upside down overnight. They almost pried the wall, but they didn't find the scabbard."

Qu Qingshi said: "If it is the second type, it is already looking for a buyer, and it may even have been sold. If it has already been sold, it will be the worst result."

The two looked at each other, seeing the seriousness of the matter from each other's eyes.

"What did the police say?" Qu Qingshi asked.

"The police closed the case on the grounds of drug overdose," Gu Haofeng said. "There were no signs of a fight or trauma on his body. Drug overdose deaths are quite common in the United States. In addition, he is of Chinese descent, so the police are unwilling to spend money on him." More energy, so case closed."

Yao Jun, who wanted to improve his social status all his life, never took off his yellow hat until his death.

Qu Qingshi said: "If it is said that Yao Jun was deliberately deceived by someone, then this person must have entered and left Yao Jun's apartment. If we can get surveillance..."

Gu Haofeng said: "Uncle Dai has asked someone to ask for it."

Qu Qingshi straightened up from the chair: "How do you say?"

"There is a surveillance camera in the corridor that can shine on the door of Yao Jun's room," Gu Haofeng said. "In the two weeks from Yao Jun's entry to his death, no one has entered or left his room except for ordering food, which means that someone has escaped the surveillance. With the scabbard taken away, and we don't know who this person is, we're looking for a needle in a haystack."

The atmosphere in the small shop fell into silence. Several cultural relics brought up from the warehouse were temporarily stored in the shop. The spirits looked at the environment of the small shop curiously and played together.

Qu Qingshi suddenly remembered something, and sat up suddenly: "I know how to do it!" Startled Gu Haofeng and the spirits in the shop, all of them stared at him.

Gu Haofeng: "What?"

Qu Qingshi stood up excitedly: "Let's go fishing!"

"fishing?"

"Yes, we can pretend to be two idiots from China. Wealthy people post online advertisements for the purchase of Kowloon sword scabbards, implying that they are invincibly rich and state-owned is money. People with scabbards are tempted by money and can't bear it." Will contact us."

Gu Haofeng shook his head: "How can the other party be so easy to be fooled?"

Qu Qingshi: "Isn't the person who trades cultural relics just looking for money? Rather than selling to others, it is better to sell to the Chinese. Anyway, the image of the Chinese in the world is that they are rich-I don't care if you have money, anyway. I have money."

Gu Haofeng: "Then what if the other party is a collector who is not short of money? Or a vicious cultural relic smuggler, or even we may directly face the murderer who killed Yao Jun himself."

"Then he will be hooked even more," Qu Qingshi was not afraid at all, "he will definitely be curious about how we know about the scabbard of the Nine Dragon Sword, and he will definitely find a way to investigate us when the time comes."

Gu Haofeng fell into deep thought, only listening to Qu Qingshi's voice:

"In short, as long as he takes action, we will know where the scabbard is."
