Lao Jiang likes this very much.
But I have to say that what Xiang Wanli said is true!
At the same time, Mr. Xu brought out another large box. After opening it, it was filled with white jade fragments.
Most of the fragments inside are only the size of a fingernail, and some are even smaller. It's really a headache just to look at them.
"Cultural relics are witnesses of history. If you want to understand an unknown civilization, you must start with its cultural relics." Mr. Xu stroked his long beard and said, "So I brought them with me this time."
Looking at the two pieces of jade in front of us, Lao Jiang and I were in trouble at the same time.
One of them was a dangerous thing that would kill you if you touched it.
The other piece is in pieces that are too broken to bear to be looked at. How do we start with this?
I subconsciously reached out and took out a piece of white jade and looked at the light, but at this moment, my finger was suddenly shocked!
The pattern on the piece of white jade suddenly hit my brain, and the terrible dream I had before seemed to appear in front of my eyes.
On a dark night, I fell into a huge pit. On the western side of the pit were densely packed bronze faces wearing masks. They each stretched out their hands and called me, trying to drag me in. their world.
"Ah, go away!"
I screamed in horror, and the jade piece in my hand suddenly fell on the table. Lao Jiang grabbed my hand with concern and asked what happened?
Only then did I realize that everything just now was just an illusion.
So he shook his head, saying that he was distracted and saw something terrible.
Lao Jiang's eyes moved, and he noticed that Xiang Wanli and Xu Jingsheng were a little nervous, and he immediately said lightly: "Maybe you haven't rested during this time."
"In this way, Professor Xiang and Mr. Xu, these two things will stay in Qilin for the time being. Once there is news, I will contact you by phone as soon as possible!"
Xiang Wanli and Xu Jingsheng kept thanking each other. Lao Jiang asked me to go back to the dormitory first while he went to see them off and do a check-up on the way.
Probably because they were worried that they would both be affected by the curse?
But I really couldn't care about this at this moment, so I could only walk towards the dormitory with my feet in hand.
At this time, I didn't even realize that those broken jade pieces would be the beginning of my nightmare!
After sending Xu Jingsheng and Xiang Wanli away, Lao Jiang reported the matter to his superiors that day. I wonder if it’s fate? It happened that the Black Sword Qilin who was in charge of restoring cultural relics went to the Tibetan area with Shen Xiaoyu and He Lanxue to perform the S-level mission.
Therefore, this hot potato was thrown back into the hands of Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang held the heavy box of jade pieces and worked hard all afternoon. When I bumped into him at dinner in the cafeteria, I found that his eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, his appearance was haggard, and his hair was messy. He felt like he was on the verge of collapse. .
Also, with so many fragments, can't they destroy people?
I walked up to Lao Jiang with the dinner plate and asked him what was the result?
Lao Jiang stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, with a listless look on his face: "Forget it, if a complete jade object falls into pieces, I am sure that it will be restored to its original state! But this thing will be incomplete when it is dug out. , and it was changed hands by cultural relic dealers in various ways. In short, many key things were missing. "
"Moreover, they are really too broken. I guess the craftsmen who made them didn't have the ability to put them back together..."
I snorted coldly and said: "Don't you think you are the best in the world, extremely smart, and unparalleled? This trivial matter has stumped you? Tsk tsk, Master, I still advise you, don't brag too much. Otherwise, it will be blown and your face will look ugly.”
Hearing this, Lao Jiang's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly paused, but he was obviously not angry, but stared at me with bright eyes: "Li Jinglan, have you been very idle recently?"
It's over. Is this old bastard trying to trick his apprentice again?
"I'm full, Master, please eat slowly."
I immediately stood up and wanted to run away, but I still couldn't escape Lao Jiang's sad voice: "I will deliver the box of jade to your dormitory on time. Who makes you always full of miracles?"
As soon as I heard this, I felt that something was wrong: "Master, you also know that our Lei Town has been contaminated by the curse for generations. If it makes me grow toad skin again, I will not be alive anymore." ? You don’t want to change apprentices yet, do you?”
Lao Jiang said with a smile: "It's all cursed anyway, so maybe it's better to fight poison with poison, don't you think?"
I reluctantly agreed, but Lao Jiang made a tempting offer that was hard to refuse: "When you went to Dunhuang, your performance was very good. If you can make another big contribution this time, maybe you will be promoted to Jinlin." ”
I immediately turned my head, and Lao Jiang was counting on his fingers: "Isn't this just two vacancies for Jin Lin?"
I gritted my back teeth and said two words: "Deal!"
However, thinking of the fate of those cultural relic dealers, I still put forward a condition. Lao Jiang must stay outside the dormitory at all times to prevent me from drowning myself in the river.
Lao Jiang readily agreed: "Don't worry, I'll move next door to you first."
That night, I returned to the dormitory with a large box of broken jade.
So a large box costs at least hundreds of dollars. If we have to fight for it, how long will it take?
I poured them on the table, turned the desk lamp to the brightest, held a few larger jade pieces and looked at them carefully, and soon discovered the first problem.
These jades were unearthed in Guanghan County, Xichuan, but as far as I know, Xichuan is most famous for jasper, black jade, lapis lazuli, and tooth topaz, but it does not produce this kind of white jade.
Looking at the lines on these white jade, they are very similar to the ancient jade from the Yin Shang Dynasty that we saw when we were in the Yin Ruins. Could it be that there is a tomb of a Shang Dynasty prince under the field of Yan Daocheng's family?
However, during the Shang Dynasty, the territory of the Shang king did not seem to include the Yangtze River Basin.
Forget it, I don’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more my head feels heavy. Let’s try how to put these things together!
Under the illumination of the desk lamp, I began to study every piece of jade carefully.
Most of the patterns on these jade are carved with negative lines, but as Lao Jiang said, it is difficult to determine what it is. At present, it is likely to be a huge jade plate.
I picked up a magnifying glass and tried to draw these lines on my notebook, but suddenly, I had a splitting headache, and it felt like something was exploding in my brain!
I didn’t even dare to look at these jade fragments again, because as soon as I saw them, the huge pit in my dream and the hideous and grotesque bronze masks would appear in my mind again...
Maybe I really didn't get enough rest. I'm going to take a good rest before continuing my research.
But a strange scene happened. When I stood by the window and looked at the distant scenery, the bronze mask appeared in front of me again!
The mask has an east-west shape, a triangular nose, and one pair of eyes that takes up almost half of the face.
Especially there is a huge hole in the middle of its forehead, as if it has a third eye!
Fear instantly grew in my heart, and I quickly looked away, but the bronze mask was reflected in the water glass.
I even wanted to wash my face to wake up, but it turned out that every drop of water was embedded with bronze masks.
They were like evil spirits, invading my dormitory as fiercely as a tide, and surrounding me airtightly.
One face after another squeezed me in the center, making me unable to breathe!
