Chapter 2 - Wolf Rider

In fact, my courage is not too big. The reason why I entered the industry is because of curiosity, and because of being tempted by interests.

Money is really the greatest invention of mankind. Even those who hate it and despise it can't completely reject the temptation of this bastard. There are a lot of crazy and incredible things in this world that are happening around it.

Maybe it is the particularity of this industry that has tempered my personality and consciousness, and made me mature one step earlier than many of my peers. I knew early on that you should not treat your loved ones casually, do not easily judge whether others are your friends or your enemies, and do not easily define the final thing.

This is something I am very proud of, because I feel that I am a smart person, and I can look at people and things rationally, and reflect on my mistakes and deficiencies. But then, I found that I still didn't know enough about myself.

But when I first met Ma Changzheng, I still made a judgment on him easily. Because I was immature at that time, I think he is a typical playboy, holding the family's share dividends, and spends his entire day loitering and doing business, traveling back and forth in cities in the Mainland.

Because he is a Hong Kong native and a second-generation wealthy man in Hong Kong, Ma Changzheng always likes to wear colorful clothes. He is not tall, but he is a bit fat. He likes to go to a barber shop to maintain his hair. He combs Guo Fucheng's "Three-Sevenths" in his early years. A square face is full of heaven, the court is round, always smiling, and people can't bear to suspect that he is a bad person.

For those who have no conflict of interest with him, Ma Changzheng is indeed not a bad person.

I later learned that the reason he was running around all day was because Ma Changzheng had a grandfather who loved antiques and was keen to collect. Everything he did was commissioned by Mr. Ma.

The antiques industry is extremely complicated, and there is no such thing as fakes. As long as you can sell fakes as genuine, there is no reason to lose even if someone loses, so if you want to find someone to represent you, you must find a reliable person. Mr. Ma knew this very well, so he gave the purchasing power to his grandson, who ranked second in the family. And Ma Changzhi's stupid surface actually hides his shrewd and powerful mind, otherwise he would have been cheated all over in this industry.

Ma Changmao is ten years older than me. It stands to reason that I should call his uncle, but Grandpa and Mr. Ma are not too old, so Ma Changmao, who values ​​the seniors, insisted that I call his brother. In the southwest, his biggest buyer was his grandpa, so he walked very diligently with our family. When I was young, I couldn't wait long before I could see this Hong Konger dressed in foreign style and speaking standard Mandarin.

After getting along with each other for a long time, Grandpa went to the alert heart, and took out the piece of bone-shaped flute of the "Treasure of the House" to him. It was also the first time I opened my eyes and saw this precious old object with a hint of ghost charm. Unexpectedly, Ma Changzheng was excited when he glanced at him. He rubbed his hands and exclaimed, "Qie Ye, do you actually have this baby on you?"

Grandpa laughed, "I don't sell this thing, because the world is afraid of it alone."

Ma Changzhen didn't persuade my grandfather and put the long flute on the table with a smile and said, "I'll do something first, and I'll talk to you in the evening."

As a result, he waited until 9 o'clock in the evening before Ma Changxi came in, and no matter whether we were still waiting for him to eat, he shouted, "Che Ye, give me the long flute."

Grandpa took out the long flute and handed it to him. Ma Changmao took out a bag of red liquid from the bag held in his hand and poured it into a bowl. I immediately smelled a strong bloody gas and frowned. Ma Changxian wiped some blood with a cloth and wiped it on one end of the long flute. He walked to the window and blew against the sky as night fell.

I don't know what song he played. At that time, I just felt that the sound of Chang Xiao was pretty pleasant, and I thought secretly that I couldn't see that this horse was still a versatile person.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew out of the window, and in the blink of an eye, it fell on the spot where the long flute was stained with blood, but after seeing it clearly, it was a bat with a big slap.

Unlike common bats, this bat has a bigger head. It looks a bit like a bear when you look closely. There are actually two fangs in its mouth. Its wings have a layer of dark cyan fluff, which looks a bit evil.

After the bat stood on the long flute, he immediately licked the blood on the long flute with his tongue. It looked like a hungry big-bellied man who saw food and was extremely greedy. For a moment, it licked the blood from the long flute. Afterwards, the flat and round head turned to the bowl full of blood on the table, and flew towards the table with a scream.

His father was about to drive it out, and Ma Changyu immediately stopped, "Don't move it."

The little bat stood by the bowl, leaned down and drank the plasma in the bowl, his wings rising like the devil in the blood river of hell. This time it drank for a full ten minutes, and I watched its body swell into a cylinder, and its round belly shone in the light.

After drinking up the blood, it seemed to want to flutter its wings, but the blood on the stomach had overwhelmed it. The greedy monster tried to fly into the air, fluttered its wings a few times, and then flew lower and lower, and then hit the window On the side wall, a splotchy blood spot appeared on the wall.

This is not that the bat was hit with blood, but that the force of the impact caused it to spit out all the blood in the body. Immediately, the bat was lying uncomfortably under the ground, his mouth and chest full of blood, humming weakly.

Ma Changyi said, "This is a vampire bat, how many people know the role of this long flute?"

Grandpa suddenly realized: "This is ... can this flute call something dirty?"

Ma Changbi nodded and said, "This is a human bone flute-the first glance at it, I knew it! This is a very evil thing, so it will attract some unusual things when playing, such as This bat. To make this kind of long flute, the leg bones of the murderer must be used and soaked in human blood for seven days and seven nights. After being removed, the blood attached to it cannot be washed, and it is directly exposed to the sun and dried. Even if you finish with a layer of paint on the surface, the human flute is by no means the only one in the world, but it is rare in the world. "

As long as Ma Changzheng talks about these knowledge, he will continue to rush. He raised his bat's wings and brought it to our eyes, and said, "This is a vampire bat. It is the real vampire in the world. It comes out for food every night. He likes to suck on the bodies of large animals such as cows and pigs. It is a very evil creature. To be more clear, this is a ghost-calling thing. Qiye, this long flute is a fierce creature. Where did you get it? "

"This ..." Grandpa hesitated for a moment, and still informed Ma Changzheng of the context of the long flute.

Ma Changxuan's eyes suddenly showed a layer of envious light, he said: "The tragic excavation of the ancient tombs in Natahe Village has a great influence in the antique circle. I know this very well. It turns out that Qiye is a villager of Natahe Village." Stop, he stared at the flute in his hand, thinking of God for a while, and then continued, "Qiye, do you know who the owner of that ancient tomb is?"

Grandpa shook his head and said, "I do n't know who the owner of this tomb is. Rural farmers, how can you know this. But the organ designed by the owner of this tomb has killed many villagers. When it rains on a cloudy day, the tomb There will be weird whispers around. People in the village who know Feng Shui say that the structural Feng Shui of the tomb can trap the dead soul, so after the death, the dead soul will only stay in place. The owner of this tomb is definitely not an ordinary person . "

Ma Changshu laughed: "Mr. Feng Shui in Qiye Village is really a big expert. He is right. I have collected a lot of information provided by those who went to Natahe Village to collect antiques. If you are right, the one buried in the ancient tomb In all likelihood, he was a wolf rider in the Han Dynasty. "

"Wolf Rider?" The grandfather who didn't know much about him didn't know much about modern people's official titles, let alone the Han Dynasty.

"The wolf rider is a post established by Emperor Han Wu. During the Han Wu period, witchcraft prevailed in the world, and it was not harmful. Even Emperor Han Wu himself was cast by the harem concubine. He was so angry that he summoned everyone in the world, Some masters were selected to specifically detect witchcraft crime cases, hunt down or assassinate witch criminals who escaped from crimes. These wizarding masters who acted in the court were called wolf riders. Among these wolf riders, one is very famous Yazi. He is two meters tall, with red eyes and blood, red teeth, and his left hand is a ghost with black skin and sharp claws. It is said that Yu Yazi was born after his mother hit a ghost. There are countless ghosts who are killed by car cracking. Some people say that Yu Yazi only drinks human blood when he is thirsty and never drinks raw water. Because the water sinks yin, Yu Yazi avoids diluting his pure yang qi. Sure. Of course, some people say that he is bloodthirsty by nature.

I was all stupid, and asked more stupidly, "How much blood does he have to drink in his life? Where can he find so many blood?"

"He killed countless people, and the arrested wizard was kept close to him, so that he could kill blood at any time to quench his thirst. However, Yu Yazi is not only a slaughter of wizard wizards, he is also a wizard proficient in ancient mystery. One of his most legendary things was the secret method of turning an army cannon under Emperor Han Wudi into an old zombie, also known as "Feitian General."

"Why make a man a zombie, hasn't he sinned?" I couldn't help asking.

"Of course not. This flying general is not an ordinary person. He is a super expert in the Guards around Emperor Hanwu. The reason why he made such a fierce role is because the small country Loulan in the Western Region claimed to have found the dragon tomb in his country, and Han Tianzi He has always claimed to be a descendant of the dragon, and it is impossible to accept the appearance of a dragon tomb on alien land. So Emperor Han Wu appointed Yu Zi to investigate the matter secretly. If there is a dragon tomb, he must be burned regardless of whether the dragon is buried in it. Just kill everything in it and kill King Loulan. "

"Is this true?"

"I do n't know if it is true, but the civilizations of the 36 countries in the Western Regions were preserved. Only Loulan was buried under the yellow sand of Lop Nur. It is hard to say that this was not condemned because of anomalies, and King Loulan did die. The hand of the assassin sent by Emperor Hanwu. Judging by these two things, maybe the legend is really unknown. Yu Yazi knew that he had too many enemies in his lifetime, and learned of the amazing secrets of the dragon tomb, whether it is a wizard or The imperial court could not let him go, so he secretly escaped from the Han Palace. For a long time, I have been paying attention to the antiques flowing out of the Nata River Village. It seems that ... all the utensils used by Yu Yazi to practice ancient mystery, so I Suspected that Yu Yazi himself was buried in the tomb. "

Grandpa nodded slightly, "I said that a tomb of a large family could be buried in such a remote mountain village. It turns out that this is a person who cannot see the light at all."

"Yes, the wizard 's methods are already spiteful. If his bones fall into the hands of the opponent, the consequences can be imagined. Therefore, Yu Yazi used the most cruel methods in the organs, even if he had died with the grave robbers. His own body fell into the hands of others. However, the question now is how did this bone-shaped long flute appear in the tomb? The people who used the flute and Yu Yazi were not a dynasty, and they were hundreds of years apart. Moreover, Yu Yazi's grave should be sealed and sealed. He cannot enter the whole body and then retreat without triggering any hidden weapon of the organ. "Ma Changxi analyzed.

I said casually: "This long flute is just something that was picked up. It may not be an item in the tomb. It may be someone else who hid in the mud and was shocked by the explosion."

My father gave me a stern look, and then I reacted.

At that time, I was far from mature enough. Some of the things I said were to lower my value. I could have sold 10,000 yuan. I might only be worth 5,000 in one sentence. Thinking of it, I hate to draw my own mouth.

However, Ma Changzheng didn't seem to pay attention to my "chat", and frowned after thinking for a long time: "Asheng made a lot of sense. I think the situation is complicated. Qiye, can you sell this thing? There just happened to be a collector who wanted something similar. If you want to do something, I can make it happen. "

My father gave me a subconscious look, his expression was terribly gloomy.

The grandfather sighed and said, "Such a wicked thing is worth the price?"

Antiquities are about the same as shopping. Bargaining is inevitable. Sometimes, in order to keep prices down, buyers will deliberately write stories to prove that something is wrong. This Ma Changzheng is really well-intentioned. In order to lower the price, he has compiled such a comprehensive story to tell us that Grandpa is an old man. Of course, he understands this truth, so he made the point straight.

Ma Changzheng thought for a while and said, "You can open the price, I buy it sincerely, and you sell it sincerely. As long as it is not too much, I will accept the stuff. What else did you pick up in Natahe Village? It's definitely not appropriate to leave these things around. "
