I am a super cop

Chapter 1712 Blood Qin Ancient Jade【Two Chapters in One】

The middle-aged man was mysterious, and his words were vague, as if he were a master.

After all, everyone in the antique business is talented. If you don't have any ink in your stomach, you really can't play this antique business.

Since it was introduced by Yuan Shasha's friend, the middle-aged man revealed a lot to Gu Chen and the others.

To sum it up, let Gu Chen and the others go to Gaoquling to have a look, maybe some windfalls.

According to the man's words, everyone hurried on, and did not stop too much at the side of the pedestrian street, and drove directly to the direction of Gaoquling.

According to the navigation, Gaoquling is located in the northwest of Jiangnan City, at the junction of Jiangnan City and brother cities.

And here surrounded by mountains, the traffic is not convenient.

In the early years, if the residents of Gaoquling wanted to go out, they had to go over the mountains.

Later, the restoration of the Panshan Highway was based on the foundation of the previous dirt road.

However, with the domestic traffic arteries being continuously opened up, coupled with the purpose of common prosperity, a highway runs through Gaoquling, opening up the connection between Gaoquling and the outside world.

Generally speaking, a lot of road tunnels have been built on the Gaoqu Ridge.

However, the original residents of Gaoquling still live on the high mountains and are distributed on different hills.

According to the navigation, Gu Chen drove all the way and stopped at an intersection under the Panshan Highway.

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, clicked on the electronic map, and analyzed it with everyone.

"The residents on Gaoqu Ridge are very scattered, and it may take a village to find them. Everyone should be prepared to waste time."

"It's okay, we're here, so we can only try our luck." Police Officer Wang felt that as long as he followed Gu Chen, his luck would not be too bad.

Lu Weiwei also said: "Let's follow this route first, and ask questions as we go. If we act together, we can always save some time."

"That's right." Yuan Shasha also said, "Most people have to go through this road when going out of the mountains. Let's drive all the way and ask around when we come across villages. We can always gain something."

"That's how it is, everyone sit down." Seeing that everyone was full of confidence, Gu Chen no longer struggled.

Start the vehicle directly and drive quickly towards the top of the winding mountain road.

There are very few vehicles on the road, mainly because most of the residents on the mountain live in urban areas, and only some old people are willing to stay in the countryside. It seems that they have long been accustomed to the mountain life here.

Therefore, from time to time on the road, I will meet some old people and take a leisurely walk.

Gu Chen came to the first village and parked the car at the intersection.

This is a relatively spacious flat land, and the surrounding buildings are also distributed on both sides of the road, built against the mountains.

Seeing a few old people chatting at the entrance of the village, Gu Chen took everyone out of the car and walked directly to the rural CBD center.

Gu Chen found an old man sitting in the middle and greeted him proactively: "Hello, sir, we are from the Furong branch, and I would like to ask you something."

"Tell me." The old man was chatting with a few old women about their daily life, and he was very curious when he saw the police coming over suddenly.

Gu Chen took the metal plate wrapped in a transparent evidence collection bag and directly showed it to the old man and asked, "Have you seen this thing?"

"What is this?" The old man looked at it with a look of surprise.

Seeing this, several other old ladies also gathered around one after another.

Everyone discusses...

Gu Chen reminded, "Have you seen this symbol and totem?"

"No, I've never seen this thing before." The old man shook his head, feeling a little unfamiliar.

But one of the old women said: "Comrade policeman, this thing looks like an antique."

"Have you seen it?" Seeing that the old lady seemed to be able to see something, Gu Chen hurriedly asked her.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "I've never seen this thing before, but it looks like an antique."

"Some people say that they have seen this kind of totem in the villages around Gaoquling." Lu Weiwei thought for a few seconds before continuing to add:
"Besides, he saw that person when he came to collect antiques in the village of Gaoquling, which means he appeared in your Gaoquling area."

"Think about it again, the collector of antiques may have come to your village." Yuan Shasha on the side also reminded.

When several old people heard the words, they all looked at each other and gathered together to discuss in low voices.

After a while, one of the old ladies said: "Over the past few years, there have been quite a lot of people collecting antiques here in Gaoquling, and they have come here wave after wave."

"Anyway, in our Gaoquling area, the slightly valuable antiques are basically taken away by them."

"Then have you seen these antique merchants?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes, that's right." The old lady nodded silently, and replied in an inarticulate dialect:
"They have indeed been here, but they have come less frequently these years. After all, there is nothing to pay for."

"But I just found out that there are many people's homes in our Gaoquling area, and there were quite a lot of antiques. During that time, there were many people who came here to collect goods and shop for treasures. Now they are basically gone."

The old lady seemed to like to chatter, and once she opened the chatterbox, she was endless.

Although Gu Chen listened to a lot, most of them were nonsense.

The old lady didn't talk about the main points, but even so, Gu Chen was able to learn some specific information through the words in the old lady's mouth.

That was a few years ago, it seems that a famous merchant who bought antiques came to this village to buy some antiques.

And there are quite a lot of people who have this thing here, so more and more people buy antiques as they come and go.

But after the news spread, several groups of people came here one after another, and basically bought the antiques of Gaoquling's generation.

Many of the genuine antiques that are circulating in the world are purchased by these bad guys from the Gaoquling area and sold at high prices.

It's no wonder that the middle-aged man said that there is something special about Gaoquling.

In particular, the villagers in Gaoquling are not simple. Everyone has some antiques in stock, so they can make a lot of money after selling them.

This is the first village that has just entered the Gaoquling range, and Gu Chen can see the problem from the structure of these people's houses.

The rural housing here, almost every family has small villas.

The old people also live happily, and they are all newly built.

Presumably it is also the antiques sold by sellers these years, earning some good income.

Seeing that Gu Chen asked seriously, the old man seemed to be investigating a case.

So the old man came to Gu Chen's side, and said meaningfully: "Young man, if you want to find someone who knows the symbols and totems of this metal plate, you might as well look over the mountain."

"There is a village called Hejia Village. The villagers there were all foreigners before, and they only moved to Gaoquling later."

"But this group of people are descendants of the northern tomb robbers, so they have taken root here for several generations, and there are many antiques in every household."

"This group of people can make a lot of money just by selling the antiques at home."

After a pause, the old man said again: "So this Hejia Village, although located in the deep mountains and old forests, is very rich."

"Is Hejia Village right?" Gu Chen opened the phone map according to the old man's words, and then began to check the location.

The old man also echoed and said, "That's right, it's called Hejia Village. In our Gaoquling area, the people in this village are all surnamed He."

"Is it here?" Gu Chen found the location of Hejia Village and showed it to the old man for confirmation.

The old man is also kind-hearted, and he began to help identify the direction directly based on the three-dimensional map.

Not long after, the old man nodded and said, "That's right, this is the place, you can go here and ask."

"The villagers here are knowledgeable, and many of them are quite familiar with the history, culture and origin of these antiques."

"There are even some merchants who resell antiques, and their hometown is here."

"So miraculous?" Lu Weiwei also felt quite curious after listening to the various stories of the uncles and aunts.

Hejiacun?
Move in?

Descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders?
These things alone are enough to make Lu Weiwei curious.

It's no wonder that the middle-aged man said that the villagers here are not young, and he must be talking about this in the pedestrian street.

"thank you all."

After getting the exact information, Gu Chen also expressed his thanks to everyone.

Afterwards, without stopping, they quickly got into the car with everyone and continued to rush towards Hejia Village in Gaoquling.

The location this time is deep in the mountains.

Gu Chen directly missed the village along the way, and was about to reach the destination directly.

After all, according to this kind of blanket investigation one by one, even if the investigation is carried out until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the task may not be completed.

But if you pick the key points at this time, you may have unexpected gains.

Vehicles continued to circle and move forward on the winding mountain road, and there were very few vehicles encountered.

The feeling here is that it is typically sparsely populated.

After all, to be able to stay quietly in the deep mountains is absolutely impossible without a quiet character.

Most of the people who stay in the village are old people who don't want to live in the city.

Over the mountains, I came to the hinterland of Gaoquling. There is a village on the mountainside. The road sign of Hejia Village appears one kilometer and 500 meters in front of the village.

Just looking at the layout of this village is enough to surprise Gu Chen.

All kinds of beautiful new buildings are distributed in various locations on the mountainside.

And from the layout point of view, it is also very standardized.

Since this is among the mountains, the planning of every inch of land is relatively strict.

But Gu Chen felt that this place was a very comfortable village from an intuitive visual point of view.

Every household is a villa, living here has a taste of a tourist resort.

Parking the car on the basketball court in the center of the village, Gu Chen got out of the car and looked directly at the old people who were playing chess in front of him.

This group of old people wore gorgeous Tang suits and sat around together, arguing with each other from time to time.

It seemed that they didn't care about Gu Chen and the others who drove here at all.

In the eyes of these old people, there seems to be nothing more interesting than playing chess.

"Master." Officer Wang walked up to the crowd and called out.

But seeing no response from the crowd, they were still arguing about various moves on the chessboard.

Officer Wang continued to call a few times, but none of these people responded at all, which made Officer Wang look a little embarrassed for a while.

"Hey, this group of people." It seemed that they were all old chess fans. Officer Wang just wanted to go there again and tapped the chessboard with his hand.

So that these old men turned their attention from the chessboard to themselves, but Gu Chen stopped him.

At this time, Gu Chen was also watching the deadlock on the chessboard.

I saw a few people chatting endlessly.

An old man playing chess wants to get on his horse, but another old man next to him wants to subdue his pawns, and another one clamors to use cannons to make a general.

It seemed that the two elders around him were helping an elder who was at a disadvantage.

On the other hand, another white-bearded old man sat there quietly, watching the three of them arguing leisurely, but picked up a thermos and drank tea leisurely.

Although this calm old man has already seen some policemen coming around him, the chess game on the chessboard is the focus of his attention at the moment.

Police officer Wang yelled in his ear just now, but the uncle didn't pay attention at all.

Seeing the three old men in front of them still arguing endlessly, I feel that the level of this group of people is really weak.

Just wait for these people to make a wrong move so that they can reap the victory.

Just as the calm old man with a white beard was triumphantly waiting to meet his ten-game winning streak, he found a handsome man beside him with a smile on his mouth, shaking his head from time to time at the arguments of the three old men.

Intuition told the white-bearded old man that this young policeman seemed to have seen through the way to crack the chess game.

When the opponent is the fat chess player, he insists on getting on the horse.

Gu Chen shook his head immediately, and sighed faintly.

When the opponent's pawn came up, Gu Chen held his forehead and shook his head again, as if feeling sad for that master chess player.

Although the white-bearded old man was curious, he still used his trump card and mounted his horse to eat the opponent's chess piece: "General!"

"Huh?" The fat man on the other side couldn't help being taken aback, and hurriedly corporal.

"General!" Uncle Baibeard continued to dismount.

The fat man pulled the cannon back.

"Again, you're out of chess." The white-bearded uncle grinned, as if there was no pressure to win.

"Oh my god, why did you lose again?" The fat man was very frustrated, and he pushed the chess piece directly: "I don't want to play anymore. I lost ten games in a row. It seems that I can't beat you."

"Hehe, when did you ever beat me? You three cobblers are no match for Zhuge Liang like me."

The white-bearded old man had no pressure to win, so he turned to look at Gu Chen and said, "Young man, you seem to understand it just now, you can play chess?"

"A little bit." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said modestly, after all, he grew up following his parents' chess skills since kindergarten.

"Then do you know the safest way to play just now?" the white-bearded old man asked again.

Gu Chen nodded silently, then returned the pawns that were eaten a few steps ago, laid out the previous chess game, and then put the pawns on top, saying:

"If it were me, I would have died just now."

"Then I'll mount the cannon here," said the white-bearded old man.

Gu Chen grinned: "Then I'll get on the horse again and eat your face."

The white-haired old man couldn't help being taken aback, and continued to withdraw the horse.

Gu Chen got into the car directly.

The white-haired old man pushed.

……

The two went back and forth and started to attack each other.

And the three uncles who lost the chess game just now became interested.

It feels like this attack and one defense seems to restore the decline.

Gu Chen got on the horse to eat, and said with a light smile, "General, you are out of chess."

"Ok?"

The white-bearded old man stared, and quickly recounted the steps just now, and then he slapped his brain and regretted: "Damn, you took this step just now, so you were trying to lure me, and you were careless."

Shaking his head, the old man with white beard also smiled and said: "This is a good move. If they played like that just now, I might have lost."

"So I felt a little pity just now. The key point is that this uncle made the wrong first move, so every subsequent move is a chain chess game."

"This is a wrong step, every step is wrong, so checkmate is certain." Gu Chen also expressed his own opinion.

The white-bearded old man was quite aloof before.

But when Gu Chen said this, he was immediately curious.

The three old men sitting opposite him were also dumbfounded at this time.

"Young man, can you?"

"You can see the flaws in this?"

"That's right, Lianhuan Chess. If I had followed your example just now, it wouldn't be a dead end. Damn, why didn't I think of it?"

The three old men also complained in various ways, and it seemed that they were only one step away from defeating the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man was also quite amazed, and asked Gu Chen: "Young man, I think you seem to have figured out how to break this chess game just now, so why didn't you say it?"

"It's against the rules." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"En." The white-bearded old man nodded silently, and said quite satisfied: "You are a real gentleman who watches chess without talking, that's great."

Looking back at the three old men in front of him, the white-bearded old man also had a look of contempt: "Look at them, they know the basic rules of chess at a young age, and the think tank formed by you three cobblers is not half as good as others. The level is really too weak."

The white-bearded old man won the chess game, and he still taunted his opponent.

Several old men stopped doing it immediately, and refuted back with all kinds of yelling.

"You are the best chess player in our village, and we are all half-level. How can we compare with you?"

"That's right, I just like to bully those of us who are average chess players. Have you met a master now? There are people beyond people, and there are mountains beyond mountains. Don't be complacent."

"Haha, and he is still a young man. It seems that this young man is young and promising."

……

The three old men who lost the chess game were originally depressed by the ten-game winning streak of the white-bearded old man.

But Gu Chen made a move to replay the chess game just now, and continuously switched from defense to offense, unexpectedly turned the game against the wind and won the game.

From this point of view, Gu Chen was able to vent his anger on everyone's behalf.

The white-haired old man nodded silently, also very satisfied, and murmured involuntarily: "Every time I, He Shaoqing, play chess with you group, I'm really bored. I didn't expect a young master to come."

He Shaoqing, who was addicted to chess again, immediately grabbed Gu Chen's hand and said, "Young man, hurry up, sit down and play another game with me, let me try your real level."

"I'm sorry, sir, I came here to inquire about something." Gu Chen, who was wearing a police uniform and treated himself as a leisurely tourist, hurriedly explained.

The fat man sitting opposite to the white-bearded man immediately joked, "He Shaoqing, didn't you see that he came here in a police uniform? He must be on official business. Who wants to play chess with you?"

"Haha." The white-bearded old man was not angry, so he raised his head and asked Gu Chen, "Then what's the matter with you here?"

"Oh, that's it." Hearing this, Lu Weiwei who was standing behind Gu Chen quickly took out the metal plate in her hand, handed it to the old man with white beard and said:

"Have you ever seen such a thing?"

"What is this?" He Shaoqing, the white-bearded old man, immediately held it in his hand and looked around.

But when he saw the totems and symbols in front of him, he frowned slightly.

This small expression change was also captured by Gu Chen, thinking that this chess player named He Shaoqing might have seen this thing before.

"Where did you get this thing?" He Shaoqing asked.

"It was delivered by a seafood wholesaler, sandwiched in salted fish." Lu Weiwei said.

"Sent it with salted fish?" He Shaoqing didn't seem to understand, and he also looked puzzled.

So Police Officer Wang hurriedly explained: "It's like this. This seafood wholesaler sent several bags of salted fish to our Furong branch office together with this metal plate."

"Then, this person returned to his warehouse, and was killed with a poisonous needle not long after."

"What else?" He Shaoqing also looked suspicious when he heard Officer Wang's remarks.

But Gu Chen also continued to add: "So we are very curious about this metal plate, and we also asked some antique shop owners. They told me that the symbols and totems on this metal plate have been seen in the Gaoquling area."

"And I saw it when Gaoquling's generation bought antiques, so we came all the way this time, just to find out, what is the meaning of this metal plate?"

"We also don't quite understand the totems and symbols on the metal plate, but if they have appeared in the area of ​​Gaoquling before, I hope you can tell me, what exactly does this indicate?"

After Gu Chen finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and Gu Chen stood in a row.

And the other four uncles also gathered together.

Everyone looked left and right with the metal plates, and seemed to be discussing in low voices.

The white-haired old man He Shaoqing, after handing the metal plate to the fat old man beside him, also said earnestly to Gu Chenyu: "I have indeed seen this thing before, and this symbolic totem indeed originated from our village."

"It's really here?" Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha beside him, and couldn't help but feel happy.

It feels like everyone has traveled all the way to Gaoquling to find clues, and finally met someone who can understand symbols and totems.

Gu Chen was a little excited on this side, but He Shaoqing on the other side sighed and said helplessly: "But, I don't quite understand what this metal plate means."

"What did you say? You don't quite understand it?" Police Officer Wang was a little unbelievable, but also reminded: "Didn't you just say that this thing originated from your village? How can you not understand it?"

"Yes, just now you said that it originated from your village, we all heard it." Yuan Shasha also hurriedly reminded.

I feel that this strange old man with white beard named He Shaoqing talks the same way.

Gu Chen stabilized his emotions and continued to ask him politely: "Uncle He, this clue is very important to us. If you know the meaning of this totem and symbol, please tell me."

"Young man." He Shaoqing glanced at Gu Chen beside him, and said earnestly, "I can tell you the meaning of this totem."

"Tell me." Gu Chen turned on the law enforcement recorder and pointed it at He Shaoqing.

Afterwards, Gu Chen took out his notebook and prepared to record.

And He Shaoqing was also very cooperative, and replied lightly: "I can only tell you that this is one of the totems of the northern tomb robbers."

"Northern tomb robbers?" Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said politely:

"Before I was in the village at the foot of Gaoquling Mountain, I heard something about your village."

Fearing that the elders might misunderstand, Gu Chen apologized in advance and said, "I'm sorry, they said that your village was immigrated from other places, and it's only a few generations old."

"And before you, you also belonged to a branch of the northern tomb robbers, right?"

He Shaoqing was not angry when he heard Gu Chen's remarks, but instead grinned and joked with Gu Chen:
"You don't have to be so polite. We did move here from other places. There are many people in Gaoquling who know our ancestors. It's not surprising that you know."

Opening the thermos cup in his hand, He Shaoqing took a sip of tea leisurely, and said calmly:
"I can also tell you that it was my grandparents who moved into Gaoquling, but since my father's generation, we have quit this business."

"Since my father's generation, we have been engaged in farming activities to support everyone, but every household has some antiques handed down from that year."

"It was nothing at first, but then..."

Glancing at the luxurious villa at the entrance of the village, He Shaoqing also said angrily: "Then that family, yes, is that family."

Afraid that Gu Chen might not be clear about it, He Shaoqing specifically pointed it out: "The child of that family, because of financial constraints, secretly took the antiques that have been collected at home for many years to sell in the antique market, but was targeted by experts."

"So, what followed were countless practitioners in the antique industry who worked tirelessly to come to us and buy all kinds of collections from our villagers' homes."

"Originally we people lived here in seclusion, and the ancestral training of our ancestors was to return to the mountains, but after this, everyone outside knows that our village is the descendant of the northern tomb robbers."

"Then what happened next?" Lu Weiwei was also curious when she heard that.

He Shaoqing smiled slightly, and also explained: "Later? Then there was no way, more and more people came to us to buy."

"Oh, by the way, that's what happened a few years ago. Those guys who bought antiques bought almost all the things that could be taken away from every household of ours."

"Then you guys have made a lot of money?" Lu Weiwei was also curious when she heard this.

But the fat man on the other side waved his hand and complained, "What are you earning? The things left in the hands of us are basically worthless things. How valuable are you? No."

"Then your villas should all be newly built, right?" Police Officer Wang still saw something tricky and couldn't help asking curiously.

He Shaoqing knew that he couldn't hide it from the police, so he said truthfully: "Yes, we used to have old houses here, but everyone lived comfortably."

"But after such a commotion, if you don't take out some of your family's possessions, this group of people will stay here every day, and they will not stop until they can receive some valuable things."

"And we have no choice. Being disturbed is not what we like to see, but the key point is that once the rules of selling antiques are broken, there will be no time to be clean."

With a faint sigh, He Shaoqing also said helplessly: "So, in order not to disturb these people day and night, I reached an agreement with them."

"That is to sell all the valuable antiques in our village to these people, and sell them all at once."

"Sell them all?" Lu Weiwei asked in surprise.

He Shaoqing nodded silently: "That's right, just sell them all, once and for all."

"So in the summers of the past few years, our Gaoquling Hejia Village suddenly became the most lively place in the Gaoquling area."

"We used the method of setting up a night market to sell all the antiques found by every household on the street stalls for three days in a row."

"In the past three days, those who received the goods, all kinds of trucks blocked the road."

"Even if it's sold out in three days, there are still some people who won't leave, just waiting to catch the leak."

Smiling, He Shaoqing said again: "But we didn't miss them here. Just like that, after another week, no matter how these people asked, they didn't have any, and they were all sold out."

"So, since then, our Hejia Village has finally slowly returned to calm, and we old bones have basically sold out all the goods in our home."

"Then... how much did you sell in total?" Lu Weiwei was very curious about the figure.

After all, there is really no one who can display all the antiques in the village and sell them in the night market.

He Shaoqing also grinned, waved his hands and said: "Actually, there are not many. On average, the one with the most sold for about 100 million, and the one with the least sold for more than 40."

"So much?" Hearing the words of the white-bearded old man He Shaoqing, Police Officer Wang was also stunned:

"Then you will get rich. Once this antique is sold, it's no wonder that every family in your family lives in a small bungalow."

"It's okay." The fat man on the side grinned, and said with distress: "Although everyone has exchanged all the antiques at home for money, and built a new house."

"But from then on, the ancestral things are gone. In fact, we are still quite lost."

"That's right." Just as the fat man finished speaking, another tall and thin man answered:
"It stands to reason that those of us who are the descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders have nothing to do with the occupations of the previous generations at all, and we can only remember that we are the descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders by relying on the possessions in our home. "

"Selling all the stocks in the house now may be just living on their laurels, and how their children and grandchildren will fare in the future will depend on themselves."

"That's right." Gu Chen also nodded silently after listening to the words of the elders.

This kind of practice of selling antiques in the house is indeed a matter of earning money.

But Lu Weiwei at the side was also very curious, and continued to ask the others: "Don't you guys keep some antiques at home?"

Hearing Lu Weiwei's remarks, the elders looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

He Shaoqing said: "Little girl, it's really gone."

"You have to know that tomb robbery has a profound history in our country, which values ​​funerals."

"Because our country people pay attention to seeing death as home, and often bury many things in the tomb."

"Especially in the Han Dynasty, the trend of thick burials also intensified, which naturally gave birth to some tomb-robbing groups and complex tomb-robbing culture."

Lying on the seat, He Shaoqing also waved his hands and shared what he knew one by one:

"For example, the ranger Guo Xie described by Sima Qian, he was a tomb robber, and Cao Cao was the first person to scale up tomb robbery, and he is also known as the ancestor of tomb robbers."

"But every line has its own rules. In fact, the same is true for tomb robbers, and according to different techniques, they are divided into southern and northern schools."

"I know." Hearing this, Gu Chen nodded silently, and echoed, "The northern faction is more irritable, while the southern faction is more gentle."

"Haha, that's right." Seeing that Gu Chen knew something, He Shaoqing also said earnestly:

"Usually, people like warlords, they directly take explosives to blow up graves. This is a typical northern faction."

"As for the more moderate southern faction, they mainly focus on making money, and they basically have a respectful attitude towards the owner of the tomb if they don't touch it."

"As for the ancestors of the northern tomb robbers, we also felt that it was a bit immoral to do this business, so we resigned from the golden basin."

"But in those days, if you robbed someone's tomb and wanted to escape unscathed, you had to hide."

"After all, our ancestors stole from those wealthy families, afraid of offending them."

"Of course, this is a long time ago."

"So you moved to Gaoquling in the south to avoid disaster?" Yuan Shasha said.

He Shaoqing nodded silently, and also took the initiative to admit: "I heard that this is the case, but I don't know if it is true."

"After all, it's all about the previous generations, and it has nothing to do with our future generations."

"And we have long wanted to dispose of these collections at home at one time."

"We don't know which ones are inherited from our family? Which ones are stolen from other people's tombs?"

"In short, with the name of the descendants of the Northern Tomb Raiders, those of us feel ashamed when we go out."

After a pause, He Shaoqing also looked helpless: "Since the identity was exposed a few years ago, the villages around Gaoquling have changed our eyes, and we always feel that we are the descendants of thieves."

"It's also to get rid of these people's daily worries. After all, how can the descendants of tomb robbers have no antiques in their homes?"

"That's why you sold all the collections in the village a few years ago? To change the quiet?" Gu Chen asked.

"Hehe." He Shaoqing smiled slightly, and nodded to admit: "Yes, that's it, once and for all, it's better than dragging on."

"Since then, we have no antiques here, and the merchants who bought antiques no longer appear, and the place has returned to the tranquility of the past."

"As for what you said, will there be some collections left? Let me tell you, no."

"Sell everything that can be sold. After all, our predecessors are also quite particular about the items stolen from this kind of tomb."

After thinking about it, He Shaoqing also recalled and said: "Just take what my old father told me back then. He told me that there are also some taboos regarding the theft of funerary objects in the tomb."

"Although their generation is no longer engaged in this industry, some rules and culture are still passed down."

"You mean?" Gu Chen asked.

Before He Shaoqing could speak, the fat man interrupted and said, "For example, there are many things that cannot be taken. Even if you take them, you must get rid of them as soon as possible."

"The previous generation believed that it was ominous to keep these things in their hands. For example, longevity nails, which are nails for nailing coffins, are also called township nails in the folk."

"Because there are usually seven long-lived nails nailed on each coffin to bless future generations with blessings, so it also has a name called descendant nails."

"And no matter which name it is, its essence is for the dead, belonging to the underworld, and no one wants to keep them at home."

"Yes." He Shaoqing also took over the right to speak when he heard the words: "These generations of us have been living a bad life. It seems to be a matter of Feng Shui, or it may be because of these things from the underworld hidden in our homes."

"Anyway, I've always had a knot in my heart, and I don't want to keep these things in my collection. If it's an ominous thing, I might as well sell it."

"People who are knowledgeable in the collection field never collect these things."

"But if someone who doesn't open his eyes brings those things back, it can only prove that he is a novice and knows nothing about tomb robbery."

After thinking for a while, He Shaoqing said again: "As for this kind of totem, I have seen it once in my family's antiques."

"Really?" Seeing that He Shaoqing was finally willing to let go, Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "Then what kind of antiques did you see?"

"I've seen a kind of ancient jade called Xueqin." He Shaoqing said.

"Xueqin Ancient Jade?" Lu Weiwei echoed, also expressing her puzzlement.

But Gu Chen nodded silently, thinking back: "This kind of jade should also be called the thousand-year blood jade. The ancients said that when the deceased was buried, people would put a piece of jade in the mouth of the deceased."

"And if a person is stuffed into this thing before he dies, he will fall into his throat when he dies."

"Into the blood pool of the body, after a thousand years, the jade will be soaked in rotting blood, and the blood color will reach the heart of the jade."

"Becoming a so-called blood jade, this kind of thing is too evil, and it should not be touched at all. Although it is precious, a real collector will never collect it."

"That's right." Seeing that Gu Chen understands this, He Shaoqing said again: "There is another kind of soul-suppressing beast."

"Soul-suppressing beast?" Yuan Shasha shrank her neck in fright when she heard this.

But He Shaoqing grinned: "According to its name, we can know its purpose, that is, Chinese people believe that after death, people fall into reincarnation, and they often meet evil spirits along the way."

"And in order to protect the dead from evil spirits, people will use this soul-suppressing beast to drive away ghosts."

"Whoever puts this thing at home is undoubtedly a fool. Putting a genital thing in a mansion is undoubtedly a curse on oneself."

"But now, there are many people who don't know this thing, and still put it at the door of their house. Thinking about it makes them panic."

"Also, don't steal the coffin. You must know that the coffins of the ancient dignitaries are made of high-quality materials."

"It may be made of nanmu, or even a gold coffin. These materials are very valuable. If they are stolen and processed, they can be exchanged for a good price."

"The reason why grave robbers don't steal is because they respect the dead."

Taking a deep breath, He Shaoqing also said earnestly: "Our previous generations believed that if we steal the living place of the dead, we will receive the curse of the dead."

"And we found that the tomb robbery team actually believed in the rules, but at the same time there was a betrayal of their companions. This seems to be out of place and contradictory."

"However, birds die for food, people die for wealth, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit."

Looking at the policemen in front of him, He Shaoqing smiled wryly and said, "Finally, tomb robbery is against the law, and our generation is no longer doing it."
