I collect cultural relics in the human world

Representative Wu denied it outright and interrupted Xiao Wuzi's conversation. He was in a dilemma mid-sentence.Of course, Jun Jiuzi would not let him go easily, and asked half-jokingly: "Why, you can't tell whether you have seen it or not?"

"Have a look from a distance." Representative Wu knew he couldn't hide it, so he replied angrily.

Xiaowuzi immediately joined in: "Yes, I know the rules of the village, but I didn't dare to take him to the spring. I used a drone to take a look at him from a distance that day."

"Oh? I wonder if you still remember which day it was?"

"How do you remember this clearly?" After Representative Wu finished speaking, he saw that no one at the table was drinking, but looked straight at him, and quickly added, "Wait a minute, I'll calculate it carefully, it seems..."

Seeing Mr. Wu frowning, Xiao Wuzi quickly reminded: "I remember that the spring water happened to change that day."

"Changed?" Li Chong put down his wine glass, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Wuzi recalled the scene that day. He was determined not to take outsiders to the spring during the day, so they waited until night.

Although there was a waning moon that night, fortunately the starry sky was clear.He and Representative Wu squatted on the top of the hill, carefully flying a drone to take pictures of the night scene in Shaquan.I was already worried and cautious, and my hands holding the joystick were sweaty.However, the drone had just flown to the edge of the spring when he heard a shrill whistle. He was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost crashed. He pulled Representative Wu and ran to the car.Unexpectedly, after the whistle, the villagers who were called turned out to be heading in the opposite direction to the drone. Only then did Xiao Wuzi realize that the whistle had nothing to do with him.However, he really had a guilty conscience and couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. He shivered in the cold wind and was covered in cold sweat. After much thought, he gave up the plan of using a drone to secretly take photos.

"Yes, halfway through the filming that day, a whistle suddenly sounded. I thought we were discovered, but then the fifth brother said it was something else, so we ran away, and I don't know what happened after that."

Fan Yu and Jun Jiuzi looked at each other. It seemed that on the day when Shu Nian sneaked to the spring to get water, at least two people were still trying to get water from the spring.

Zhu Nian had been locked up for the past few days and was exhausted mentally and physically. He could not figure out why the sand spring suddenly became turbid after he had taken the water. After hearing this, he realized that there were other suspects and pointed at Representative Wu and Xiao Wuzi. : "It was you who tampered with the spring water!"

"It's nothing to do with anything." Xiao Wuzi shook his head and waved his hands, "I don't dare to talk nonsense. I brought Mr. Wu here just for the sake of the villagers, and I have no delusions about the spring water!"

"Still pretending! Some bacteria on your drone must have fallen into the spring, so the water in the sand spring became turbid after you left!"

Xiao Wuzi shrank his neck and asked doubtfully: "The water in Shaquan is turbid. What does this mean?"

Several other insiders secretly said that they didn't know Representative Wu's relationship with this matter, so they kept the news about the drying of the sand springs secret along the way, but Shun Nian didn't know about it.After drinking and feeling aggrieved, he confided the matter. Fortunately, he only told the news that he was sure of and did not mention the drying up of the spring.Fan Yu thought, today's spring water is not as simple as turbid.

"Young man, don't worry, doesn't this mean there's going to be a sandstorm?" Representative Wu didn't know whether he was really ignorant or was acting, but he actually found a reason for the turbidity, "Since there's going to be a sandstorm, weather anomalies will cause geological changes, especially in the In a place like the desert, it's normal for the spring water to be turbid, don't worry about it, it will be fine after the sandstorm has gone away in a few days."

Qin Jian glanced at Representative Wu who looked calm and unsurprised, which was in sharp contrast to Xiao Wuzi who looked confused and uncertain.

"Yeah, you're just worried." Fan Yu also felt strange, but didn't want to alert the snake, so he just added, completely blocking Shan Nian's mouth.Although Zhu Nian was full of doubts, he stopped talking.

The questioning came to an end, and the wine table fell into silence. Li Chong, Zhu Bin, and Uncle Zhao were drinking and eating by themselves, very comfortable and used to it, but the other people couldn't drink the wine in front of them at all, and they were too embarrassed to raise their chopsticks. , it was a depressing and difficult meal.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhao drank the last bit of wine in the glass, stood up and said, "There are not many dishes. If everyone has finished drinking, how about I arrange accommodation for everyone tonight?"

Before the others could speak, Lao Chaofeng answered first: "That's exactly what I meant."

Fan Yu knew that Lao Chaofeng must be eager to find He Si, so he snorted and said, "Can Uncle Qin and I stay together?"

"Okay," Li Chong said, "Then you can stay in my room. I'll go and change shifts for Jiang Zi tonight."

"Then Quandu..." Fan Yu said halfway before changing the topic and said, "Then please pay attention to your safety."

Li Chong ignored him and turned to Jun Jiuzi: "Professor Jun and your students should live in the room next to mine. It is my cousin's house. Their family has gone to the city."

"You'd better go to my place, I'll take care of you." Zhu Bin interjected.

"It's up to you." Li Chong thought this arrangement was reasonable and didn't argue.

"Thank you." Jun Jiuzi said, patting Shun Nian on the shoulder, and Shun Nian quickly thanked him.

"We don't have to make arrangements. I'll go back to live with my dad," Xiao Wuzi smiled eagerly, "Representative Wu, just live in the same room with me."

"The relationship is good." Representative Wu rubbed his hands and felt that the atmosphere was not good. He made an excuse and walked out. "As soon as winter comes, it will get dark quickly. Everyone has been busy all day. We won't disturb you and go back first." Rest."

"We're leaving too." Lao Chaofeng was not polite when he heard this, and walked out with his hands behind his back, his back showing eagerness.

"Uncle Qin, you're a little too impatient." After Li Chong, who was leading the way, Fan Yu didn't even have time to find a seat in the room to sit down. He immediately started to complain about Lao Chaofeng, but he didn't hear what he said. Echo, and looking around again, there is no figure of Lao Chaofeng anywhere.

"This is..." Fan Yu was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a new word, so he added, "This is too impatient!"

Qin Jian is naturally not afraid of Fan Yu's complaints. Anyway, as long as he is fast enough, Fan Yu's complaints cannot keep up with him.For example, at this moment, Fan Yu's words echoed in the empty earthen house, and the figure of Lao Chaofeng was already in He Si's room.

"You're here." He Si couldn't help but feel excited when she saw the person coming.

"Does Ah Si miss me or the case?" "Think more about the case." He Si said, her eyebrows arched and she was in a good mood, "Is there any progress?"

Qin Jian rubbed He Si's head, went to the bathroom first to shake off the dust all over his body, then returned to the room, sat down on the single sofa in front of He Si's window, and said, "It's a bit messy."

"What kind of chaos? Why don't you tell me one by one, and I'll help you sort it out."

"It's okay, Ah Si is tired," Qin Jian said and simply closed his eyes, rubbed his eye sockets, and relaxed completely, "We previously speculated that the cause of the matter was the ancient civilization in the desert, but now it seems that it may be It’s an alien civilization.”

"What do you mean? Aliens?"

Qin Jian heard He Si's unexpected thoughts and shook his head happily: "Today Li Chong and others said that their ancestors were from the general's old corps. I think it may be true. Their ancestors were forced to leave their hometown and fought and retreated. In order to protect something, I had to sneak into the hinterland of the desert. But survival in the sand was not easy, and the journey was very costly. I was trapped in the sand at the moment of life and death, and suddenly encountered a clear spring to survive. Naturally, I thought this sacred spring was some kind of omen. , is a gift from God, so it is understandable that it takes the clear spring as its residence, protects the secrets, and lives in anonymity for generations."

"It's just that until now, the secret that was to be protected has been forgotten. The villagers only remember to protect the spring water and the source of life. But I don't think you believe it."

"Ah Si understands me," Qin Jian still closed his eyes, but slightly curved the corners of his mouth, "That's something to talk about later."

"What about the springs drying up now?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that the statement has disturbed the peace of Shenquan in the past year. No longer providing endless water sources is the punishment imposed by Shenquan on the villagers."

"That is caused by cultural relics, which means that the spring water is not natural," He Si concluded, suddenly remembering what Qin Jian said just now, and said, "This is the reason why you don't believe it, as you speculated above , Spring water is a natural thing, and natural things will not suddenly dry up because of the years of offense, so this spring water does not come out of thin air in the desert. It is most likely that the team that sneaked into the desert protected them when the mountains and rivers were exhausted. The treasure was buried underground, but they never thought that this treasure would cause a clear spring to appear in the desert, and by some combination of circumstances, it would save everyone's lives. This would lead to the guardianship of the sacred spring for generations to come. In fact, they were guarding the spring deep beneath the spring. Buried things.”

Qin Jian opened his eyes with a look of appreciation.

"What about another one?"

"Today I met a representative named Wu from Mingsheng Urban Construction Company. Although his words and deeds were normal, it was such a coincidence that he appeared as soon as the spring water accident happened. He knew that the village was in trouble and the villagers were retreating, but he just happened to He refused to leave, and when he heard that there was something strange in Shaquan, his first reaction was not surprise, but he took the initiative to help find out the reason. I think their company is very interested in Shaquan Village, especially the Shaquan, and should have already planned the development. The plan is just waiting for the villagers’ nod.”

"But the villagers are so simple and pedantic that they will never nod. So the best way is to let the springs dry up. If the villagers cannot survive, they will naturally have no choice but to obey their conditions. But I didn't expect such a coincidence. In the year of the statement, I went to Shaquan to collect water. The villagers blamed him for the drying up of the spring, hoping to restore the sacred spring through ancestor worship. I think the representative must not know about the scapegoat. He refused to leave, so he should I’m just wondering about the attitude of the villagers.”

"That's really smart," Qin Jian became He Si's bragging party. "I'm familiar with the routines of some urban construction companies. If drying up the spring water can help them, then they will definitely not be merciful."

"What cultural relic can make the spring dry up?" He Si tried hard but couldn't find it. Qin Jian reminded: "What cultural relic can make the spring water emerge in the first place?"

"Is it such a coincidence that what we encountered this time happened to be a pair of cultural relics in which yin and yang and the five elements complement each other?"

Qin Jian was noncommittal: "So I said, it's a bit chaotic."

"I think it's interesting," He Si said and suddenly became excited, "Earth generates gold, and metal generates water. The desert belongs to earth. If gold is buried in the earth, sand springs will be born, right?"

After He Si finished speaking, she said without waiting for Qin Jian's answer: "Tuke Shui, take away this metallic cultural relic. Without the middleman who makes the water, the spring will naturally dry up."

"But don't forget, even if our previous speculations are correct, the sand spring is always guarded by someone. If you take water, you will be arrested, let alone sneaking into the spring to dig for treasures? No one can go to the spring until the water bottoms out. Dig things out under the spring."

"Then..." He Si thought for a while and then said, "Fire defeats gold. Could it be that the employee of the urban construction company brought fire-attribute cultural relics, which offset the ability of the spring cultural relics?"

"It's still far-fetched. How did the urban construction company determine that the spring water came from cultural relics? The cultural relics were buried underground, but the cultural relics underground are still metallic?"

"This……"

"What's more, the scope is too large. Metal is called Congge, and everything with the functions of cleansing, descending, and convergence belongs to metal. Fire is called Yanshang, and everything with the functions of warming and rising belongs to fire. This inference is as follows: If I tell Liu Rui, she will definitely roll her eyes," Qin Jian said in a literate manner, but his tone was teasing, "And the five elements are mutually reinforcing each other, over and over again. It is difficult to determine a certain attribute just through phenomena. Wood produces fire, and fire produces earth. Earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. You said that the springs are drying up now because fire has restrained metal. I can also say that the thing back then was fire. Fire promoted the generation of earth in this sandy land. Earth generated metal, and then it was born. of water.”

"This……"

"That's why we say chaos, but that's not all chaos."

"What else?"

"It's a matter of ancestor worship," Lao Chaofeng said with a solemn expression, "I heard what Uncle Zhao meant. Although the sand spring has always existed in his memory, according to the village records, the sand spring dried up once, which is correct. That’s why the concept of ancestor worship came into being.”

This time, He Si didn't understand what Qin Jian was worried about. She blinked at him with big eyes full of curiosity. Qin Jian could only continue: "If this time is really the fault of the Urban Construction Group, then what's in their hands?" The cultural relic happened to appear in Shaquan Village once thousands of years ago, and its power was neutralized by the villagers through sacrifices. The villagers did not properly seal the cultural relic and let it flow out, and then it ended up in the city. Could it be such a coincidence in the hands of the group?"

"Is it possible that they are... two different cultural relics?" After He Si finished speaking, she felt it was far-fetched - where could there be so many cultural relics with unknown powers?

"What I care about most is not the cultural relics," Qin Jian said, looking at He Si again, but this time a look of worry appeared, "A Si, have you ever thought about the source of your previous hallucinations?" Where?"

"It comes from... the fan we made together." He Si said tentatively.

"I have a feeling," Qin Jian didn't know how to describe this illusory connection, "Only those who can see through the obsession and sincerity of cultural relics can uncover the truth and solve strange things. Ah Si helped the villagers of Shaquan Village a thousand years ago. Could it be you who handles the spring water?"
