Chapter 1 Uninvited Guest

With money, Zhang Guozhong's first thing was to fulfill his master's last wish - to rebuild Tongtian Temple. In order to restore Tongtian Temple as much as possible, Zhang Guozhong spared no expense to hire experts from the Architectural Design Institute to conduct on-site inspections at Playground He Village, and determined the design drawings based on the memories of the villagers and the remaining foundation. After about five or six months, a brand new Tongtian Temple was completed, and electricity and tap water were also connected. In addition, Zhang Guozhong personally went to Longhu Mountain to hire several fellow Taoists to come to Tongtian Temple to preside over daily rituals. After such trouble, the incense of Tongtian Temple became more prosperous.

After busy with the matter of Tongtian Temple, Zhang Guozhong began to learn driving. After getting the Baiben 1, he bought a Santana directly. For a while, there were a lot of controversy on the streets and alleys, and he said everything. Generally speaking, he was annoying and laughing, and even spreading rumors. Helplessly, Zhang Guozhong simply moved his family to the suburbs and lived in Li Village. He invested in and opened a chicken farm and a pig farm in Li Village. He became the general manager himself and invited Li Village Chief Li's eldest son to be the factory director.

During the day, Zhang Guozhong occasionally strolls in the farm, but most of the time he spends his time at home to practice legal formations. He almost lost his life because he was not good at learning skills. But now he has time and money, it is time to improve.

Old Liu fully reflects the older generation's mentality of "buying a house and land first if you have money". He bought more than a dozen units at one time, and simply took several of Aunt Chen's relatives to live in. Living in three units by himself can be considered a blessing in old age.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, time has entered the 1990s. In recent years, Zhang Guoyi has been very successful in his official career. Since Director Wu retired, he has transferred another Director Sun. In less than two months, Zhang Guoyi was photographed by Zhang Guoyi and couldn't even find Bei. In just a few years, Zhang Guoyi climbed from an ordinary driver to the position of director of the director's office. Although Zhang Yicheng's high school entrance examination results were a mess, he was successfully admitted to a key middle school in the city with the note approved by Director Sun. Zhang Yicheng himself chose, and of course, it was the school that Liu Mengmeng took.

On this day, Lao Liu was eating and drinking, and was lying on the recliner and listening to the opera when the doorbell suddenly rang. Aunt Chen was not at home at this time, so Lao Liu had to open the door by himself.

"Who!" Old Liu was impatient with eight hundred and sixty.

"Me!" The voice outside the door seemed quite familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.

"Who are you?" Old Liu criticized a piece of clothing and opened the door and saw that the man outside the door was wearing a white Zhongshan suit, short hair, white hair, and a name that made him a headache immediately appeared in front of him - Qin Ge, followed by a man and a woman, both of whom were quite young, but they had never seen him.

With a slam, Old Liu closed the door tightly, "You are looking for the wrong person! Let's go!"

After being turned away, the two young men behind him looked helpless, but Qin Ge showed a strange smile on his face. He calmly stuffed a photo into the crack of the door, then looked at his watch, stretched out his finger to start counting out, five, four, three, two...

When Qin Ge counted out, the door suddenly opened again. Old Liu was wearing reading glasses and was looking at the photo. "Mr. Qin, as the saying goes, the night owl comes into the house and comes to nothing. Just say what you want to do!" The photo in Old Liu's hand was a blue-blue porcelain plate, and the color was not very new, but in Old Liu's eyes, this was not an ordinary object. The thing in the photo was a "Ru Kiln 2" celadon plate with complete opinions. If it was genuine, the value could not be measured by money.

"Mr. Liu, it's inconvenient to speak here. Can we go into the house and talk? We searched for two days before we found your home." Qin Ge smiled and bowed slightly.

"Okay... I'm unlucky to know you..." Old Liu let the three of them into the house.

"This is Mr. Alxun and Mr. Sun Qilin's personal bodyguard," Qin Ge introduced, "This is Liu Dan, an archaeological expert."

"Oh, you two are good..." Old Liu glanced at the two young men with a stingy look at the so-called personal bodyguard. He must have practiced his temperament of walking with a straightforward and 80% of his origin as a soldier. This so-called archaeological expert is as radiant as a movie star. I don't know what Qin Ge wants to bring them here.

"It's so, we hope you can do a favor." Qin Ge still spoke in his previous style, straight to the point and never beat around the bush.

"I've helped me, I'll give it to me?" Old Liu said suspiciously as he pinched the photo.

"Even if you can't help, as long as you are willing to help, I'll give it to you, but I believe you can succeed." Qin Ge came up and blocked Lao Liu's retreat first.

"Is there such a cheap thing?" Old Liu looked at the photo of the porcelain plate carefully, "It's not fake, right? The ugly words are ahead, I won't go to that kind of thing last time!"

"This is Mr. Sun's treasure for housekeeping, it is guaranteed to be authentic. And I promise there will be no danger this time, I promise." Qin Ge took out an x-ray of the human chest from his bag, "Mr. Liu, do you recognize this?"

"I recognize, isn't this a chest X-ray film? Let me tell you, I don't understand Western medicine. If you ask me for treatment, you have found the wrong person." Although he pretended to be indifferent, when he stared at the photo, there was still a trace of greed in the corner of Lao Liu's eyes that was unconcealed.

"Mr. Liu, look here..." Qin Ge pointed to a point in the heart of the film, "This is not a foreign object, but a lump."

"What then?" Old Liu also noticed that there was a dark shadow on the heart on the X-ray film, which could only be seen against the fluorescent tube.

"What is this? The tumor?" Old Liu raised his X-ray, "Belly or malignant?"

"Wrong, Mr. Liu, we suspect this is a curse." Liu Dan suddenly said, "To be honest, this person on the x-ray film is Sun Ting, the son of Mr. Sun Qilin, and is also my friend. Not long ago, he said he was going to Egypt for archaeology, but later he was found fainting on the streets of Cairo. Now we don't even know where he has been."

"Curse?" Old Liu's brow frowned immediately. The curse of Egypt, especially the pharaoh, was heard of this thing. It was a magical thing in the West, but it has always been translated as a rumor, "How can you be sure that this is not a disease?"

"His pulse and heartbeat were normal, but in the best hospital in the United States, the doctor couldn't wake him up," Qin Ge thoughtfully and lit his pipe. "And the most bizarre thing, on the fifth day after Sun Ting's accident, a ferry salvaged a body from the Nile River. Through his passport, it was confirmed that the deceased was a friend who set out to Egypt with Sun Ting. After an autopsy, he found that there was such a lump in the heart of the person, and that this person did not die of drowning..."

"Could it be him killing?" Old Liu was also a little strange. This was a bit similar to the head-slaying technique I encountered in the previous two years, but it sounded even more strange.

"The forensic doctor cannot determine the cause of his death..." Qin Ge said silently, "but the forensic doctor said that the deceased's brain has turned orange and yellow, and it is as thin as orange juice..."

Speaking of this, Lao Liu, who had not come out for many years, looked up and saw half a bottle of orange juice on the windowsill. Whether in terms of color or dilution, it was very consistent with Qin Ge's description. This disgusting feeling is nothing to mention.

"In addition, three other people who were traveling with him this time were also missing. The Egyptian police suspected that they were dead, but no bodies were found so far, especially one of the British people, who was once a consultant to the British Museum. His disappearance caused a great shock in the British academic community..." Liu Dan continued. It seems that although the woman looks like a vase, she speaks with full academic temperament, scheming, meticulous, and like a serious person. "We are here this time, mainly to think about it.

Please go and save Sun Ting. If it is really a curse, his symptoms are obviously much lighter than his friends. After the doctor's brain CT examination, his brain was not abnormal. His body reflected external stimuli. He had brain waves, which meant that he was still conscious and was just deep sleep. But what made the doctor helpless was that his brain waves were weakening day by day. The doctor estimated that if he continued to develop like this, he would be brain death at most three to five months, even if he could save his life."

"I won't go to Egypt, I'll say it first!" Old Liu's head stretched out a finger, "This is the first one, there is another one, curse that thing, I haven't touched it, I can only say to see if it doesn't work, I won't care, but I have to take this trick away!" Old Liu kept swaying with the photo of the porcelain plate in his hand.

"No problem!" Seeing that Old Liu agreed, Qin Ge breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Liu, we have brought the invitation letter from Mr. Sun to you. I hope you will go abroad tomorrow. We have already greeted friends at the embassy and can apply for a visa directly. I hope you can make all preparations the day after tomorrow!"

"Don't be so anxious! I have to say hello to Guozhong and ask him if he is going..." When talking about Zhang Guozhong, Old Liu suddenly realized, "By the way, Mr. Qin, why don't you look for Guozhong in this matter, come to me directly?"

"Do you think Master Zhang will be interested in the things in the photo?" Qin Ge said with a smile.

"Well, her mother let this old guy cheat..." Old Liu muttered.

Early the next morning, just dawn, Old Liu rode his bike to Zhang Guozhong's house, but it turned out that he was disappointed. It turned out that Zhang Guozhong and Zhang Yicheng and a comrade from the Public Security Bureau went to Shandong two days ago, and they left with the sword, but I don't know what I did. I don't know when I will come back. I don't know where to contact me.

"Hey! This little bastard has his wings, so he won't say hello if he goes to do anything..." Old Liu rode his bike home in a depressed mood. As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he found that the personal bodyguard Alxun yesterday was sitting in a car with sting eyes and glanced around. He found that Old Liu was back and immediately got out of the car seriously, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Qin arranged for me to drive you to go abroad. He hoped that we could sit on the plane at this time tomorrow..." After that, he put on a "please" position.

"What a joke? I don't know how to bully me at such an age?" Old Liu put a bicycle on his hand and didn't even look at the sedan. "It will take less than a week to just drive it! I'll leave tomorrow and talk to my sleep..."

Baiben: The driver's license at that time had an internship license and a formal driver's license. You could only be converted to a formal driver's license after driving safely for one year. The internship license at that time was commonly known as "white book", and the formal driver's license was commonly known as "red book"

Ru Kiln: A famous porcelain kiln in ancient China was founded in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Because its kiln site is located in Ruzhou (now in Baofeng, Henan Province), it is named after it and is known as the "Crown of Song Porcelain". Because the kiln was opened for only twenty years and the firing time was short, there were not many passing on from now on. There are less than 100 authentic products that have been passed down to this day. If it is an authentic product of Ru Kiln, even if it is a fragment, its value must be measured by millions.
