Chapter 128 Shamanism

That friend is actually not a good guy, most of the people who sell antiques are very slippery and have no conscience at all.He heard the man say that his father was a shaman, and the Oroqen people believed in shamanism. This wooden stick was the scepter that his father used to worship gods and ghosts.

Of course, when it comes to the sacrificial ceremony, many other things will be decorated on this scepter.

That person naturally wants to get a share of the pie, and with the invasion of modern civilization, his generation has lived up to the simplicity of their ancestors, and their religious beliefs are not as strong as those of their ancestors, so they regard his father as a god-like thing on weekdays It was stolen.In the shaman's religious belief, non-clergymen who offend the artifact will be punished with great retribution.

However, that person was not a pure believer. Living in that environment since he was a child, although he was somewhat in awe, he couldn't resist the temptation of money.

I just heard him say: "But I don't know the name of this animal. Anyway, the paintings on it are all ghostly things, and most of them are false. There is no need to trace the source. Your buyer doesn't just need Is it all right if you get something like this? Get in touch quickly." Shi Geda slapped his forehead, thinking that making money is the business, and immediately made a phone call according to the contact information left by Zhuan Rui. There must be some reason why Zhuanrui spent a lot of time looking for this kind of thing. If he didn't slaughter it hard, he would be really sorry for this great opportunity, so he tentatively quoted a price at that time, saying that he would receive 100 million yuan.

After quoting the price, he regretted it, and said in his heart that according to the original agreement, Zhuan Rui would have to pay him 300 million, and a wooden stick was not worth 300 million.He was afraid that Zhuan Rui would repent, so he was about to change his words and say that he lowered the price to 50, but Zhuan Rui on the other end of the phone readily accepted the price, sent someone to pick up the goods and paid the bill that afternoon, and invited that friend to him. Home, probably asking for some information.

It's a pity that his friend also had limited knowledge, so Zhuan Rui didn't ask anything of value, but just asked Shi Geda to continue to pay attention.

It has been two years since I talked about it, how can I have such good luck every time, who knows that I just ran into Tofu and me, the pattern on the 'Shenmu Square Earrings God Card', and the one given to him by Zhuanrui The drawings are exactly the same.

This is the cause and result of the incident. Shi Geda originally wanted to frame Tofu and me, and wanted to earn more, but Tofu and I were not fooled, so he said with a big tongue at this point: "Let's just talk about it, It’s all about this, so naturally I can’t fool you. Whether something is worth money depends on whether someone cares about it. Now there is a big customer who cares about it. After passing my village, there are no other shops. .”

I originally thought that this thing came out of Gegeer's coffin, maybe there would be some clues about the ghost's face, but Shi Liao was just a middleman, after such a big push, it was really useful It seems that there is only Zhuan Rui.

Wanku Mountain...

What exactly did he experience in Wanku Mountain?
Why did you rush to find something with this pattern after you came out?
I vaguely feel that whether it is the Wanyao Concubine or Princess Geger, the legends about their evil powers may all have something to do with the ancient shamanism.Could the curse of Ghost Face be related to the shaman's witchcraft?Thinking of this, my spirits lifted, and I stopped thinking about Lu Su and Zhuan Xu, and said quickly, "Your friend's father is a shaman? Do me a favor, I want to contact his father."

If this evil curse really comes from shaman, then, is it possible for modern shaman wizards to break the curse of Wan Yaofei?
Tofu probably also thought of this, and said happily: "Why didn't we figure this out before, hey, that's great, this trouble is solved, look at that old man surnamed Zhao, what kind of excuse will he use to show off to us in the future."

Shi Geda was so drunk that he didn't hear what Tofu said, so he just said with his tongue out: "He, his father... was unlucky, he died of illness two years ago in the winter, and he himself was also unlucky. Broken leg, now I don’t sell antiques anymore, I rely on my daughter-in-law to support me.”

Tofu clicked his tongue when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that he was punished because he stole the magic staff?"

Shi Geda laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said: "Brother, you are so funny, what retribution is not retribution, he deserves it. Modern people drive, and he has to ride a horse. Isn't that just asking for pain." I couldn't help shaking my head. , had no affection for Shi Geda at all, and thought that even though that person was not kind, he still regarded him as a friend, Shi Lei was doing well, but until now, he didn't feel any guilt at all, he was really blinded by money.

I don't want to pay such a person in depth. After paying the bill, they left the venue separately, agreeing that the goods will be delivered when the money is paid.

I reckon that the person named Zhuanrui should also ask me and Doufu to question him. He is so persistent in looking for this thing, he must have something to do with shamanism. Maybe he can find some clues from this person. If it doesn’t work, go NMG takes a trip.

Thinking of this, Tofu and I went back to the hotel, washed up and went to bed, ate and drank enough, and slept until dawn.

In the morning, I received a call from Shi Geda, saying that Zhuan Rui had already contacted him, but he was not in BJ, and the specific transaction and meeting had to wait three days later.

In the next few days, Tofu and I waited for Zhuanxu and inquired about Lu Su's whereabouts, but there was no progress. Later, Tofu reminded me, saying: "We have to ask Miss Gu for help. "

The word tofu awakened the dreamer, so I called Gu Wenmin that night and asked her to help find Lu Su's whereabouts, but Gu Wenmin said that as soon as she returned to BJ, she called the system to start searching, but it was very strange. There was no sign of using Lu Su's ID card or bank card, so there was no way to find out.

Nothing worked?
Could it be that Lu Su hid somewhere deep in the mountains and old forests?Lu Su's appearance involuntarily appeared in my mind, and I felt that this speculation was a bit unreliable.

Gu Wenmin said: "Sly Rabbit Three Caves, he has friends all over the world, he may live in any house, or it's normal for someone to get a fake certificate for him."

Tofu probably saw my serious expression, so he persuaded him: "It's okay, if we really can't find Lu Su, let's think of another way, an old man named Zhao, I still don't believe that we can't beat him, if we can't, I will send you What daddy left behind was stolen."

I said, "Do you know what that thing is? How to steal it?"

While talking, Shi Geda called and gave us the address of Zhuanrui's house, telling us to go there, saying that he had returned.Although Zhuanrui said he had never seen it before, but it sounded like a big deal, and Tofu and I went to buy a new set of clothes and put them on. After examining each other, we felt that everything was OK from head to toe, so we took our things with us. Zhuan Rui's residence.

It is located on the side of Yuquan Mountain, which is adjacent to Xiangshan Mountain. The scenery is beautiful, and it is considered to be the place with the best air in the smog. , both sides are full of green shade, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, it can be regarded as a paradise in the reinforced concrete city.

Tofu lay on the car window, gritted his teeth and said, "One day I will live here too."

I said, "Which day? Next life."

Tofu got angry and said, "You look down on me."

"you are right."

While talking, the car stopped in front of a white villa, and there was already someone waiting at the door, who seemed to be bodyguards, they led Tofu and me into the main hall without asking.I saw someone already sitting on the sofa, with his head down, he couldn't see his face clearly, but the one who can sit here so generously is probably the owner of this house.

I sat directly on the sofa next to him, anyway, I don't rely on him for food, so I don't need to be polite to him.

Tofu didn't know what politeness was. He sat down like a bumpkin entering the city, and exclaimed, "Damn, I've seen this set of teacups on TV. It's worth more than 5 yuan. Let's be friends, local tyrants." .”

"Okay." The person on the opposite side replied lukewarmly, then raised his head suddenly.

Since I am sitting on the left side, I can only see the outline of this person. Although they are both men, I have to admit that this person's face must have been kissed by God, and Tofu's face must be Those who have been pinched by God are not at the same level at all.

On the other hand, Tofu was sitting on the right side, but he jumped up in fright, his lips trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know how terrifying the man's right face was.It took a while to come back to my senses, and I probably realized that my reaction was a bit impolite, so I choked out a sentence: "It's okay, a man, it doesn't matter if you are pretty or not."

I almost vomited blood, thinking that this was completely black and white.

In order to prevent Tofu from continuing to say something astonishing and cause the two of us to be kicked out directly, I immediately cleared my throat, took out those three things and put them on the table, and after a few words of politeness, I signaled the other party to look at the goods .

Zhuanrui had no expression on his face, neither hot nor cold, but when his eyes moved to the "Shenmu Square Earrings God Card", his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he immediately took the things in his hands to play with, and walked towards the front of his nose As soon as I let it go, I sniffed it a few times and said, "How did you get the new product in the mid-Ming Dynasty?"

I couldn't help being secretly surprised, and said in my grandfather's work notes, there were many strange people and strange things and weird methods. It is amazing to be able to accurately date antiques. It seems that if I want to continue in this industry, I still have to learn.

I was not in a hurry to answer. In fact, most of the trading of artifacts was done in a wrong way, and neither the buyer nor the seller would get to the bottom of it.Zhuan Rui asked me how I got it, it was obviously not in compliance with the rules.Judging from his previous expression, he should attach great importance to this thing, as if he knew something, I couldn't help but feel relieved, and thought: It seems that this clue is right.
