Tomb robber: No more pretending, I’m from the Zhang family!

Chapter 127 Bronze Alchemy Furnace

The entire Taoist temple is managed by two Taoist priests, one old and one young. The old one is the father of the young Taoist priest. In those days, the army was chaotic and the incense was thin. In order to live for a long time, he gave them a lot of incense money and bought food. The money is paid separately.

Because they came here to escape, they made an agreement with the Taoist priest and his son in advance that they should not reveal the whereabouts of their family, otherwise it would be easy to be noticed by petty life or enemies.

The Taoist father and son saw that this family was not easy, and they were generous, so they agreed and let them live in seclusion in the temple.

In this way, the old professor's family lived in the Taoist temple for about two months. Since the Taoist temple is located in the deep mountains and in the cliffs and ravines, it is very inconvenient to climb up and down. Usually, the family hardly goes out.

In this way, he had a lot of time and began to study the antiques in this Taoist temple. It was during that time that he discovered a strange thing.

Many of the things in this Taoist temple are crude folk local products, which are of little value. Even if there are a few antiques occasionally, they are also things from the Ming Dynasty, and they are not worth much at all.

However, what is surprising is that on the top floor of the Taoist temple, there is a bronze alchemy furnace that looks expensive , which dynasty it is from, he does not know.

In short, this ancient bronze alchemy furnace is obviously different from other things, not that it is more valuable, but that its history is too long, and it is incompatible with everything here.

The old professor was one of the few cultural people at that time, and he could tell at a glance that this thing was unusual, and his experience was also extraordinary, so he immediately became very interested in this strange bronze alchemy furnace, so he asked the old Taoist priest, Where did this pill furnace come from?

When the old Taoist saw him asking about it, he praised him for his foresight, saying that the alchemy furnace was not simple. It collapsed from the mountain in an earthquake before liberation. At that time, there were many dead people's skeletons that collapsed together. The villagers were very scared. Bring the bronze alchemy furnace here and give it to the gods.

Five or sixty years have passed by now, he was still young at that time, and the specific situation was unclear. This is the origin of the bronze alchemy furnace.

After the old professor heard this, he felt more and more that this bronze alchemy furnace was not simple. Unfortunately, the army was in chaos at that time, and his status was special, so he couldn't conduct more investigations. Otherwise, he could invite a few people in this field to come. Research it.

He pondered for a while, but he still didn't see any clues, and then he didn't have anything to say.

However, the situation and environment at that time made him have a very deep memory of this incident, and he remembered the shape and pattern on the alchemy furnace very clearly, so when he saw the figure Jude Kao showed him, he recognized it.

He also told Jude Kao that this pattern was engraved on the lid of the alchemy furnace. He didn't know what it meant, but he would never remember it wrong.If he wants to know more, he can find a way to go to that Taoist temple to find out the situation, but after decades, there is no guarantee that the Taoist temple is still there.

After Jude listened to it, he felt mixed. He was happy that the things behind this figure had an extraordinary origin. He was disappointed that after hearing these descriptions, he still knew nothing about this figure, let alone where to find it. It was all decades ago, and I don't know if that Taoist temple is still there.

But he really wanted to see with his own eyes the bronze alchemy furnace that the old professor was talking about. Unfortunately, the relationship between the two countries was a little tense at that time. It was actually quite difficult for him as a foreigner to go there, especially for a notorious cultural relic dealer like him. .

Because in the early years, he entrapped countless Tufuzi in Changsha, and then left China with a large number of cultural relics, and when he left, he backhandedly reported those Tufuzi who had business dealings with him.

As a result, these Tufuzi were arrested one by one, shot to death, and escaped, causing a large group of Tufuzi to mourn, including Lao Jiumen. The older generation of Tufuzi will remember this. , if he went back now, it would be tantamount to courting death.

But Jude Kao is a very conceited person. No one can stop what he wants to do, and he will use all means to achieve his goal.

He thought of a way, although he could not go to China, but after so many years of cultural relics activities, he has a close network of connections in China, so he began to try to contact the old connections there, find a way to find someone to enter Qimeng Mountain, to Go and see it in the Taoist temple in the remote mountain, it is best to steal the pill furnace and transport it to the United States.

No one would take tea, not to mention that at that time there was a lot of waste to be done, his old relationship had long since disappeared, those people he knew before were all dead and fled, and the smuggling of cultural relics had been completely reshuffled.

But I have to say that there is still a way to get the test. He spent countless money, found several beauties, exhausted all means, and finally found a reliable relationship.

The other party promised that he could be sent into the mountains and leave with his things safe and sound. This shows how deep the background of the relationship network he has connected with is.

Then, under the operation of the other party, Jude Kao really brought the team into China, and quickly found a person who was familiar with the terrain there, and cooperated with this person to take care of all the things that he was inconvenient to come forward. It is the solution to the chain.

Speaking of this, Xie Lianhuan expressed his doubts, saying that he did not understand how a person like Xie Lianhuan entered this industry. In the general environment at that time, even the old man of the Xie family did not dare to set foot in his old business and could only live on his old roots.

Smuggling cultural relics is a serious crime. Like drug trafficking, it is a job with your head pinned to your waistband. Usually, you are not in a hurry to ask for money to save your life. risk, to cooperate with a foreign cultural relics dealer.

Xie Lianhuan's purpose of saying this is actually to use this clue to mislead Naive's speculation direction, so that Naive can follow the path of lies he has laid long ago, and thus get farther and farther away from the truth.

In fact, the person who chose to cooperate with Jude Kao back then was not Xie Lianhuan, but his third uncle, and it was not for money but for the ultimate plan. Here, he deliberately changed the characters to mislead Naive.

Later, Jude Kao got his wish and got the bronze alchemy furnace in the Taoist temple. Unfortunately, the investigation was strict at that time, and it was impossible to take such a big thing out of the country, so he broke the expensive bronze alchemy furnace cruelly. Divided into numerous fragments and brought abroad.
