166、I bought it
Tan Hanchuan had already "sent" Zhu Youquan back, and Xian Hao also heard from him what Zhu Youquan confessed and came to another conclusion.
Zhu Youquan said a lot just now, but Zhu Shanxian specifically told Ding Qi about the Gu family in detail because it involved clues about the beast country in Fangwai. So does Zhang Wangxiong also know what the inside story is and is also looking for the outside world? Otherwise, why would he get those two things through Fan Yangfei's tricks?
Tan Hanchuan sat down and said, "Teacher Ding was already looking for the world of Fangwai before he discovered the "Fangwai Tu Zhi". However, at that time he didn't know what kind of place he was looking for. He obtained clues from the ancient book research and inferred that perhaps the legendary Dachi Mountain and Xiaojing Lake were the ones.
Fan Yang was also looking for Xiaojinghu. He had heard that Chishan Temple had collected a "Fangwai Tu Zhi" and used Teacher Ding to find it. The portal of Xiaojinghu is in the backyard of Senior Brother Zhu's house. Senior Brother Zhu has also been looking for it for many years. All of these happened before A Quan restored "Fangwai Tu Zhi".
A few hundred years ago, Senior Brother Zhu's ancestors passed down word by word of mouth. There is a small lake in the world of immortals in the Fangwai. Zhu Jingyi's name was mentioned, but later generations did not find it.
This shows that we are not only in the world who know the existence of the outside world, but are looking for the outside world. Not to mention the distance, just say that Wei Fanchao and Wei Fanting and his brother and sister lived in the Great Chi Mountain, and Wei Fanchao also came out frequently. For them, the existence of the outside world is not a secret, it is natural."
Xian Hao interrupted: "Since ancient times, there have been many legends in the so-called blessing land of immortals and the cave world."
Tan Hanchuan: "We know now that the legend is not without evidence, because we have witnessed so many external worlds. Then Zhang Wangxiong is also likely to know the relevant clues and is also looking for them, just like Fan Yang at the time."
Xian Hao: "Before Fan Yang called me, I didn't know the existence of the outside world. Even if I had heard some legends, I just regarded them as legends and didn't care at all.
If you don’t practice the secret method of Fangwei, it’s useless even if you know it. The portal of Xiaojing Lake is in your own backyard. Have you found it in these years? Have you entered?"
Tan Hanchuan asked back, "You can't just talk about Senior Brother Zhu's situation. Did Wei Fanchao practice the secret method of the outside world?"
Xian Hao: "If you don't practice the secret method of the outside world and want to go out of the outside world, there is only one way you know, which is to obtain the treasure of the control world and master the methods of sacrifice, especially the inheritance of the treasure of the control world."
Tan Hanchuan: "So we have an advantage. Even if we don't have the treasure of the world of control, we can enter and exit the world outside. The secret method of the world outside was created by Teacher Ding, and the person was not as lucky as us. I said so much, meaning that even if Zhang Wangxiong found any clues, he might not be able to discover the world outside, and even if he discovered it, he might not be able to open it."
Zhu Shanxian nodded and said, "He has been collecting special objects over the years, and it should be the use of the method of cultivating the spiritual consciousness of the Jue Sect to further the level of the secret qi-transmitting technique of Jue Sect. At least in this regard, he may not be much better than us at the beginning."
Ding Qi finally spoke: "What are you old people discussing?"
Zhu Shanxian explained: "We are analyzing how much situation Zhang Wangxiong has mastered, and do you know what we are doing?"
Ding Qi: "I accidentally got clues from the beast country, but our energy is limited and it is useless to think too much. Things must be done one by one, and we cannot ignore one thing and grasp the main contradiction first."
Xian Hao: "Teacher Ding is right!"
Zhu Shanxian concluded: "When there are no clues, I don't know what to do, but there are too many clues. We seem to have three investigation directions now. First, junior sister Xian Hao was responsible for investigating what business did the Langzheng Service Company behind the scenes? Second, investigate Zhang Wangxiong's grasp of Naxi's situation, what he wants to do? Third, investigate the affairs of the Gu family and find clues to the beast country."
Xian Hao: "The most important goal at present is Zhang Wangxiong. He was secretly peeked at by a master of the Jue Sect. This feeling is really not good, and it is not safe to do anything."
Tan Hanchuan asked: "Sister Sister Xian investigated the business of Langzheng Service Company. Have you found anything?"
Xian Hao: "It's only been a few days. I'm not a god. I haven't found anything yet, but I discovered another thing. Shalangzheng and the others went to Huangtian Village and brought two complete ancient bricks from the mountain. Later, I stared at the group and found that they sent the two bricks to Xinshikou Antique Market and sold them to a shop called Wuhuatang."
Not all antiques are valuable antiques, such as many ancient bricks usually have no market value. If they are very rare and exquisite craftsmanship, they may be worth a few more money in the antique market. Of course, the so-called gold bricks are not made of gold, but fine tribute bricks fired in the imperial kiln. After careful polishing, the particles are delicate and dense, and they are knocked like the sound of gold and stone.
Some other ancient bricks with very good quality can be used to grind some utensils, such as inkstones, but they are not valuable in the antique market, and no one goes to buy such things. Sharon Zheng was injured and hospitalized, but his other accomplices sent two ancient bricks brought from Huangtian Village to an antique shop. This situation is a bit abnormal.
I worked hard to travel far away, just to move two ancient tower bricks to the antique market, I may not even be able to buy two bowls of beef noodles, let alone how much they will lose. There must be a reason for them to do this, that is, there is something wrong with the antique store.
Ding Qi suddenly thought of something and reminded him: "Last year, I assisted the police in cracking a criminal gang that kidnapped and trafficked women and children, and happened to rescue Tian Xianglong's son. However, the gang ran away two leaders, and the police have not caught them yet. The members of the arrested gang did not even know the true identities of the two leaders, and they could not even provide photos.
A trafficking gang has such anti-reconnaissance measures. Of course, people like Zhang Wangxiong will be more cautious in doing things. I guess the gang of Sharon Zheng has never seen him before, and he does not know his identity. Zhang Wangxiong is just remotely controlled behind the scenes. But what Sharon Zheng and the others have always had to hand over to Zhang Wangxiong. If they don’t contact directly, they need a transfer point, which may be the antique shop.”
Zhu Shanxian nodded and said, "Teacher Ding is becoming more and more like an old man! Zhu Youquan lets go for the time being, and I will be responsible for investigating the antique shop next."
Xian Hao: "I'll check the Gu family and first determine whether the beast talisman is really still in Lao Gu's hands."
Ding Qi waved his hand and said, "I'll go, the family's experience is pitiful enough. It's best not to continue to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds."
Tan Hanchuan: "Teacher Ding is a psychiatrist, and it is most suitable for him to go there. Junior Sister Xian will continue to stare at Langzheng Company."
Xian Hao: "What is Senior Brother Tan doing?"
Tan Hanchuan sighed and said, "I have to go to work too! Next month, my unit sent me to Beijing on a business trip and I have to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to do something. I guess I have to wait for more than ten days before I can come back. But I am not idle either, so I will check the clues of the Beast Country."
Ding Qi wondered: "Go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to check?"
Tan Hanchuan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, I just go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find someone to help." Then he sighed, "If A Quan was here, there might not be such trouble. There are many things he is best at."
Xian Hao: "What's the matter?"
Tan Hanchuan: "Big data analysis! The reason why it is difficult for us to determine the location of the beast country is not because there are too few clues, but because there are too many information. There are many Longtan and Longan villages all over the country, and there are also places that have appeared in ancient times, so I really can't find a clue, so let's use modern technology."
Zhu Shanxian suddenly slapped the table and said, "When I mentioned A Quan, I thought of something. Zhang Wangxiong did a lot of things, all with the traces of the sect. Either he was not a member of the sect but a member of the sect, or there was another master of the sect behind him, and that colleague was very not simple."
Xian Hao frowned and said, "There was a descendant of the sect behind him, that is, Fan Yang. He and Fan Yang had already cooperated with each other. The kind of immortals that the Gu family encountered was the common threshold for the sect, and it was the most vicious evil. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and we, the descendants of the eight sects of the sect, gathered together, and Zhang Wangxiong might also gather a group of scums in the sect."
Tan Hanchuan: "So everyone must be careful. There is probably a master of the sect who has cooperated with Zhang Wangxiong. I don't know who he is and what his relationship with Zhang Wangxiong. I'm going on a business trip. The little girl should stay at school to prepare for the exam recently. Mr. Zhuang doesn't know where to drink wine. I can't count on you for the time being. Thank you for your hard work now."
The next day was Sunday, and Tan Hanchuan rushed back to Shanghai early in the morning, but Zhang Wangxiong appeared in Jinghu City again. Zhang Wangxiong once claimed that he was the director of the Sixth Department of the Provincial Security Bureau. He didn't know the truth at the moment, so he thought he was telling the truth. Then his workplace should be in the provincial capital Xiaojin City. Why should he set up a contact point in Jinghu City? Isn't it troublesome?
This is actually very reasonable. It is safer to connect with another city. Moreover, Jinghu City has the largest antique market in the province. It is located in Xinshikou area. An antique shop is hidden in it and it is not attracting attention. Today, transportation is already very developed. It only takes an hour to take the high-speed rail from Xiaojin City to Jinghu City, which is shorter than driving from the Fifth Ring Road to the Second Ring Road in Beijing.
Zhang Wangxiong likes to collect and always likes to visit antique markets during holidays. He buys small items, which are usually worthless things. Familiar people know that he has this hobby.
Zhang Wangxiong spent more than an hour in Xinshikou antique market, entered several stores, and bought a string of cliff cypress beads. Cliff cypress was once very popular in the past few years, causing many people to go to the cliffs in barren mountains and ridges to dig out dead tree roots. But now the momentum of hype has dropped, and the prices of many things have dropped a lot compared to their peak period.
Zhang Wangxiong wore the newly bought cliff cypress bracelet, Liu Liudada finally walked into Wuhua Hall. The name Wuhua Hall should be the idiom "Wuhua Tianbao", which hides "Tianbao" and only says "Wuhua", which also has some hint.
Although the brand is quite a tone, the store is not big. There is a storefront on the street, with shelves and counters in the house, and a small warehouse behind it, and a warehouse upstairs can also be housed. Such a shop can be seen by the boss alone, and usually there is no need to hire a friend.
Zhang Wangxiong had already observed the situation around him quietly and found nothing abnormal. So he just walked into the store with his hands behind his back. The boss came up enthusiastically and said, "Are you here again?"
Zhang Wangxiong smiled and said, "Boss, what fun has he collected recently?"
Boss: "Don't you know what I have in my house? I haven't had any new things recently. I've collected an ancient sword. It should be a real guy from the Warring States Period. Judging from the shape of the Chu sword, it's a bit crappy... It's on the shelf here."
Zhang Wangxiong picked up a bronze sword with green traces from the shelves, and even made a very expert look at him and put it in front of his nose. He probably wanted to smell if there was a smell of urine. Many bronzes were fake, and the method of making old things was to throw things into a cesspool or urine pool for a while, then take them out and wash them clean. The floating rust on the surface looked like traces left by burying for many years.
Zhang Wangxiong seemed not very interested in this ancient sword, and noticed that there were two things on the shelf. He pointed at him with his fingers and asked, "These two bricks are interesting, how do you sell them?"
The boss was a little surprised and said, "It's just two old bricks, not sold, I'll use them as a sword stand."
Those two bricks do not look like they are sold, but they are placed in front and back for the ancient swords. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wangxiong fell in love with them. He handed the ancient sword back to the boss and said, "I just want to buy these two bricks and offer a price."
Boss: "This thing is not worth the price, why are you buying it?"
Zhang Wangxiong tapped the dark blue ancient brick with his finger and said, "The quality of this brick is good. Nowadays, I rarely see this kind of mud clarification process. I plan to buy it and find someone to grind two inkstones."
Boss: "You are the old customer, I can give these two bricks for free!"
Zhang Wangxiong: "How can that be? At least you have to give a price. I can't get anything in vain."
The boss said helplessly: "You are really particular about people. You can take away all the five dollars for each, and you can take them away."
