"This guy is a grave robber!" The first time.

"Well? How do you know that. " Pockmarked Li is a little strange.

"Because of the cocoon on his palm." I added: "the cocoon on the palm of this man's hand is very thick, and the shape is also very strange. The cocoon is under the finger root and at the joint of the normal agricultural workers, but the cocoon on his hand is horizontal to the palm. This is because he often grabs the Luoyang shovel, and when the Luoyang shovel is used to dig the earth, it is waving up and down, so it will cause this effect. Moreover, his face is not very white Often, it's caused by the lack of sunshine all the year round. "

"Isn't that right?" Li Mazi said strangely, "why do we come to the antique shop just to find a tomb robber for clues? This just happened to meet one. Why did you leave? "

"That guy is a rice eater. It's no use asking him." I shook my head.

"Raw rice, what is raw rice?" Pockmarked Li is very strange.

Before, I would have been too lazy to answer, but now Pockmarked Li is studying hard. It's hard for him to be so interested. These are some basic common sense and experience. I will not be stingy when I should teach them to him.

"Don't you want a bowl of rice in front of the dead man's grave? That rice is half cooked, commonly known as raw rice. Eating raw rice is the slang of tomb robbers. It refers to the layman who has just joined the industry and can only do some superficial work, just like the small workers in the factory. "

"Tomb robbers are just a general term. In fact, the division of labor here is very detailed. There are people who can inspect caves and select cemeteries, who are good at using Luoyang shovels to further determine where the coffins are in the tomb, and those who don't scare ghosts and gods to go down to the cave to collect treasures. Plus lookout, appraisal, buyer seeking, force protection A professional grave robbing team needs all kinds of professionals. And those who eat raw rice are the lowest of all kinds of tomb robbing. They have almost no technical content and are dedicated to hard work. "

"For example, after finding out the specific location, we punch a hole; when we dig into the hole, we pull the rope to pull people; when we cross the mountain, we carry tools and luggage It's basically like coolie. Except for work, you may not know anything from the beginning to the end. Don't say if he has seen the stone tablet, he may not be able to say anything even if he has seen it. "

"As you saw just now, he doesn't care about us. He doesn't point to selling jade to make money at all. The antique shop above is a cover. To ask, you have to ask the guy behind him. If you show your horse's feet and disturb the other people behind you, it's not worth it. "

"Oh! It turns out that's it. " Pockmarked Li nodded suddenly.

We found a small hotel nearby and settled down. We are going to go to the antique shop the next morning to find out the truth, and we will hide the high people behind.

I have long been used to the black and white reversed life. After taking a hot bath, I became more energetic. Leaning on the bed, I studied Yin Fu Jing for a while and took out my mobile phone.

Look at the picture of the stone tablet again and again.

The stone tablet should be on a small slope. From the perspective of shooting, it may be more than ten meters below the slope.

Since this guy likes taking photos so much, why not get closer?

Is there anything between the photographer and the stone tablet?

The stone tablet is milky white, because of the age, the handwriting is fuzzy, but because of the sun and tree shadow, there are still traces on it.

It can be distinguished that what remains on the stone tablet should be one and a half characters.

The whole font at the bottom has many strokes, which can't be distinguished at all.

The next half of the word is like a hook with four points, or a long horizontal line, which is very similar to the second half of the word "bird" or "horse".

Why is this stone tablet so abruptly built in the wilderness?

Is it true that there is an ancient tomb or a mansion nearby, as Li Mazi said?

Are both the Lin family and the monks and Taoists killed here? What on earth did they meet?

I put down my cell phone, closed my eyes and thought again.

No! This is not a tombstone!

The word at the bottom is very similar to the word "Tomb" in general structure, but if it is a tombstone, the word at the top should be "Zhi" or close to the name, such as the tomb of XX, the tomb of XX.

But in ancient times, the writing method of tombstone was extremely exquisite, especially for such a large stone tablet, it must follow the rule of "giving birth to old people".

The so-called "giving birth to the old" means that the number of words on the tombstone corresponds one by one according to the sequence of "suffering from birth, old age and death". Both the number of lines and the number of words must fall on the words "birth" and "old". Otherwise, it is a great taboo!

Although half of the tombstone has been broken, according to the ratio of width and length in ancient times, about half of the tombstone is broken. That is to say, when the tombstone is complete, there are only three "characters". It's down to "life" and "old".

So this is not a tombstone!

So what is this place?

What did Lin Changqing rely on to trace his son?What the hell are they doing?

This was originally a conspiracy, deliberately leading their father and son to the past, or they accidentally broke into one after another.

After thinking about it in the middle of the night, there is still no result.

The next morning, we had breakfast in a hurry and went to gubaozhai.

In order to prevent accidents, on the first day of the new year, Li Mazi and I stayed outside to meet each other.

The young man I saw yesterday was still lying on the bamboo chair with a tired face. When we came in, we just raised our eyelids and glanced. There was a look of impatience on his face, but he didn't answer.

"Early!" Pockmarked Li smiled and said hello, pointing to the stairway: "big brother, is the door open upstairs?"

"On." He replied very badly, but he didn't even move.

We both ignored him and went upstairs.

The stairs are very narrow, and the space upstairs is much smaller than that downstairs. It should be built with compartments.

The light inside is very dark, the curtains are half covered, and the decoration of the house is very old. The wall on both sides has fallen off a large piece, like a broken map.

There is an old bookshelf on the opposite side. There are some porcelain plates and vases on it. There are some yellow thread bound books in the closet a little further away. There are green embroidered bronzes. Beside the eight immortals table surrounded by several Taishi chairs, there is a large tree carving cylinder with some scrolls inserted in it.

That's all!

This is an antique shop, too? It's too shabby.

Maybe we heard the sound of stepping on the wooden stairs, and a little old man came out of the next room.

He was dressed in a black and blue Zhongshan suit, unbuttoned, and a shabby red vest with a chicken core collar. His clothes and the furnishings in the room were similar to those of the old movies in the 1960s and 1970s.

With a feather duster in his hand, the old man looked at us strangely and amazingly: "who are you looking for?"

"Sir, we are here to buy antiques." I smiled politely.

"Oh, you can watch it." The old man said something casually, and then turned to enter the next room.

It seems that this is not his business at all. It doesn't matter whether we sell or not. We even feel a little disgusted at our coming.

"That's it!" I picked up a bronze Baron and asked him, "how much is it?"

The old man had just entered the room with his front foot, but his back foot was not waiting to enter. He looked back at me in surprise.

Even if it is to buy Chinese cabbage, don't you still have to choose one? How can I decide to buy any antiques without looking? It's decided in a second. It's about to be picked up. It's either sick or not.

"How much is it?" I asked again.
