"Yes! It's me, I can't explain it clearly on the phone. Can we meet and chat?" Old Liu wiped his sweat while making a phone call. He saw sweat beads as big as soybeans flowing down his temples, "Look, can we make an appointment to meet!?"

"Who?" Zhang Guozhong also felt something was wrong when he found that Old Liu's expression was not right. "Dai Jinshuang?" Zhang Guozhong asked in a low voice.

"Shh..." Old Liu stretched out a finger and made a squinting posture, then nodded, "Oh, okay, then it's Ancient Culture Street!... It's okay, then how can we find you...? Oh... this... is OK, so where can we go? Do you see if you can't find you? What if we can't find you..." Old Liu was about to ask for a phone number politely, but the other end of the phone suddenly scraped off.

"What did he say?" Seeing that Old Liu hung up the phone, Zhang Guozhong hurriedly asked.

"This person... is so mysterious..." Old Liu frowned, "Let us go to the ancient culture street, and don't tell where it is. Let's find it by ourselves. The real Maoshan descendants will understand when they see things... What can they be?"

"What the hell is going on? What are we looking for?" Zhang Guozhong was confused when he heard this, "Is it possible that he was setting up a formation?"

"How could I know? He asked us to search from house to house. Only by finding things can we prove that we are the descendants of Maoshan and that he will meet us!" Old Liu looked helpless, "Let's go tomorrow!"

"Magic weapon? Guy? Or some token?" Zhang Guozhong continued to guess randomly.

"How could I know!" Old Liu said helplessly, "Tomorrow, let's go to Guwen Street to go around the door. As long as there are equipment for Taoist ware in the elderly, I will ask the store. This is all I can do..."

The next day, the ancient culture street.

Ancient Culture Street is a famous tourist attraction in Tianjin. The architectural style of the entire street is mainly in ancient Chinese style, which is somewhat similar to Shenyang Road. Ancient Culture Street also has many shops selling antiques and jade artifacts. However, compared with the range of products in Shenyang Road, Ancient Culture Street prefers the sales of folk art works and ethnic goods (similar to Yangliuqing Nian Paintings, Clay Man Zhang Caishu, Wei Ji Kites, Liu's brick carvings and other folk art treasures) rather than purely "antique goods".

According to the plan of Lao Liutou and Zhang Guozhong, the two looked from both ends of the street to the middle, and immediately called the phone if there was a "suspicious" situation. It was simple, but it would be troublesome to do it. The ancient culture street was about 600 meters long, with shops on both sides, and everything sold. Although Dai Jinshuang's so-called "thing" was not found, Lao Liutou really found a lot of other things, namely, buying a hand-made copy of the Ming Dynasty "Taiping Jing", a compass made in the fourth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, a peach wood sword that looked a little old, and a pre-Qing Dynasty appearance.

, the quality is first-class. Among them, the compass is really a big hit. The plate he taught by his master was ruined in Egypt. Although this one is not as good as the original one, it is hundreds of times stronger than those shoddy assembly line products. For a person who is born not good at opening his eyes, a treasure plate is even more valuable than a handful of people. The seller saw that it was an old man who wanted to buy it. He originally wanted to open a high price to kill him, but after being scared by the head of Liu, he sold it for fifty dollars...

Although the progress of Lao Liu's search and shopping was relatively slow, Zhang Guozhong's progress was quite fast. In about a morning, Zhang Guozhong had searched most of the shops on most streets.

"Damn it, pretending to be mysterious..." After wiping the khan, Zhang Guozhong cursed and entered a jade shop again. The shop was probably in the middle of the street. The store was not prominent and the goods were not displayed much. A shopkeeper with a beard was sitting by the counter reading a newspaper. Seeing Zhang Guozhong enter the door, he greeted him symbolically and continued to read.

Originally, Zhang Guozhong had no hope for this store, but just glanced at the goods on the counter, but after glanced, his eyes suddenly widened. He saw that the jade pendant, which was thrown into the high seas, was placed in the most conspicuous position on the counter, and a price tag was placed underneath; product name: jade pendant, price: 300,000 yuan.

"This..." Zhang Guozhong collapsed at that time, "Boss, can you take this out? I... take a look..."

"Which?" When the boss heard the customer was going to buy something, he felt refreshed and stopped reading the newspaper and walked to the counter.

"This...this jade pendant..." Zhang Guozhong said.

"Oh... I won't sell this..." Seeing Zhang Guozhong wanting to see the jade pendant, the boss's attitude immediately changed, and he returned to the recliner listlessly and picked up the newspaper.

"Don't you... don't you have a price tag?" Zhang Guozhong said as he took out his elder brother.

"That was to deal with the inspection by the Price Bureau..." The boss didn't raise his head, "You can look at something else..."

"Senior brother..., come here quickly!...Yes, I saw the jade pendant... The master's jade pendant, what other jade pendant can it be!? Oh, it's not here, I'll throw it into the sea on Sun Ting's boat! Oh... don't worry about so many things first! Let's talk about this matter, come here first...! The name of this store is..." Zhang Guozhong looked up and wanted to ask the boss what the name of the store was, but he found that the boss who was reading the newspaper on the recliner just now was gone.

"Boss!?Boss!?" Zhang Guozhong shouted for a few words, but there was no one. He could only come outside the store and look up at the store name. After telling Lao Liutou's name and returning to the store, Zhang Guozhong found that the store owner who had just disappeared was standing in front of the counter with a smile, and a secret door was opened behind the counter, "Mr. Master, please come in!" The boss smiled and respectfully, and the jade pendant placed on the counter was gone.

Zhang Guozhong's body had been soaked with sweat, and he kept thinking about it. The head teacher's jade pendant was obviously thrown into the sea by himself, so how could it appear here? Who is Dai Jinshuang? He is a diver...?

The back of the jade shop is a simple warehouse and a half-underground house. Under the leadership of the shop owner, Zhang Guozhong walked down the stairs to this half-underground house. The house is about fifteen or sixteen square meters in size and has not turned on the lights. There are a bunch of messy things on the shelves outside. A man in black was sitting on a chair with his back facing the door.

"Master, how about you?" The hoarse sentence of the man in black immediately made Zhang Guozhong get urticaria. This voice... Isn't it the weird guy who sneaked into Zhou Wenqiang's house in Shandong not long ago?

"I...I've seen you! You...Who are you?" Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but lean two steps towards the door.

"Don't you already know? I'm Dai Jinshuang!" After that, the man in black stood up from the chair and turned to face Zhang Guozhong. He saw that the person's appearance was no different from Dai Jinshuang in the photo provided by Liao Ruoyuan. He was about forty and almost fifty years old, but he wore a pair of toad mirrors with golden silk edges. He looked like he was not as sensible as a serious person. "I have seen your jade pendant and knew that Maoshan's head was you, but when Xiaolan said that there was an old man named Liu Fengyan who was also known as the successor of Maoshan, I was a little suspicious, so I wanted him to come to find this jade pendant. It means that he is really a Maoshan person, but I didn't expect that it would be you who came!"

"What's your relationship with Maoshan Sect? How did you get the jade pendant?" Zhang Guozhong asked for some time, "Not long ago... what's your purpose in Shandong?"

"It's not your turn to ask me now!" Dai Jinshuang said sternly, "As the head teacher, I threw the jade pendant into the sea and had the face of cheating under the banner of Maoshan Sect. Do you know what's wrong?"

Dai Jinshuang asked this question, although it was a bit inexplicable, but he also asked Zhang Guozhong, "I...I just feel... Maoshan Sect was destroyed by the token dispute..., I was very disappointed..." For a moment, Zhang Guozhong was really hard to explain, "Who are you? How did you get the jade pendant?"

"Disappointment..." Dai Jinshuang frowned and ignored Zhang Guozhong's question. "You have only experienced a few storms? Why dare to talk about disappointment in front of me? Maoshan master and disciple are loyal and brave, and sacrifice their lives for the country and bear the burden. You just know a little bit of fur and dare to throw the tokens passed down by your ancestors into the sea...!" Dai Jinshuang's tone became more strange as he spoke, "Today I really want to clean up the portal, but if the thieves are not eliminated, it's useless to clean up you! Take this!" After that, Dai Jinshuang gave Zhang Guozhong a handful of jade pendants, "Please take this, and if you dare to lose it, I will enforce the rules!"

Zhang Guozhong heard from his master that the so-called rules are nothing more than selling his legs. Generally speaking, he will not kill people unless it is a major event like killing people, robbing people, or treason in the country or surrendering to the enemy.

"You... are you from Maoshan? Are you Dai Zhenyun!?" Speaking of this, Zhang Guozhong had already guessed it almost. The only thing he didn't understand was why Dai Zhenyun was so young.

"Don't call this name!!" After hearing what Zhang Guozhong said, Dai Jinshuang suddenly shouted, "Don't call this name! I'm not Dai Zhenyun!!"

"Senior Brother Zhenyun... I have something to say, they are all fellow disciples, why do you have to fight? You fight against the devils and kill traitors, it's all about life! Do you know how many risks we took to kill Wang Zhenjiang?" Just as Dai Zhenyun was yelling with Zhang Guozhong, the curtain was raised and Old Liu also entered the house.

"You... are you Liu Fengyan?" Seeing Old Liu's head enter the house, Dai Jinshuang's attitude eased a little, "What do you mean by killing a traitor?"

"In order to clear the portal, we specially hired British agents and bought American equipment, and went to Malaysia with full arms to kill Wang Sizhao. You don't know about this, right?" Old Liu was serious and did not mention that the real purpose of going to Malaysia was to steal Lantingxu. "If it weren't for this, how could you get the Jade Pendant of the Master?"

"Wang Sizhao... is dead?" Dai Jinshuang was skeptical, "Why can't I recruit his soul!?"

"Can you wait for me to finish my words?" Old Liu was not polite and pulled Dai Jinshuang over the chair he had just sat down and sat down by himself. "Our original intention was to kill him, but you also know that there are policemen in all countries. The industry is quite prosperous in Malaysia. There are a large group of bodyguards. It's not easy to kill him? Now, this industry has come back to take revenge recently..."
