At the beginning, Lao Sha is not trustworthy to Yan'er, rather than trusting Yan'er, rather than trusting high-tech. Old Sha is a very traditional craft-oriented people, always distrust advanced things. Feeling that the divine thief this is too much foreign movies, and by the beauty of Yan's appearance confused, misguided, on the road to the flashy, wasted the divine thief before the hard professional ability. But how others do, he had no right to interfere, and only smothered in his heart did not say to the divine thief. Later, the three cooperated once in the late 1990s, in this cooperation, the old Sha is considered to have really seen the strength of Yan'er, and slowly accepted her, as well as those high-tech equipment they use that he could not even see. Seeing that such a capable Yan'er is still with the Divine Thief, and the Divine Thief called on him, Old Sha understood roughly in his heart, the Divine Thief encountered trouble, is indeed a bit tricky.
"Tell me about it." As soon as Lao Sha entered the door, without too many pleasantries, took a cup and poured a glass of plain water, and asked away. The thief is a quick person, next, told the whole story.
The divine thief and Yan'er this time is looking at the blue and white porcelain buried under the foundation of the Hu Fu town scrap steel factory. According to the divine thief's judgment, this time the blue and white porcelain is old and expensive, and according to the analysis of the soil and debris next to the excavation pit, there is a high probability that the following is an ancient tomb. If you can enter the tomb, you may be able to harvest more than just blue and white porcelain so simple. Casually fished out one or two valuable things, to the next life are not worried. But when the two of them dived into the town and found that the things here, not just the blue and white porcelain so simple.
It turns out that the steel mill has also been shut down for many years, the workers have long been laid off, leaving only a few security guards, guarding the plant some broken equipment, and scrap metal. The steel mill had long been insolvent and could not repay the loan, so the bank took back the mortgaged land and resold it to a real estate company. The real estate company intended to develop a scenic resort on the original site of the steel mill. Already in the periphery of the preparation work, did not expect to start construction not long. Excavators dug up some celadon porcelain.
Now, the abandoned steel mill has been heavily fenced off and is waiting for the relevant authorities to send a group of experts to explore the site. Now the government department has not yet realized the value of the ancient blue and white porcelain, but once the experts in archaeology are involved, the government will strengthen the supervision of the steel mill. Time is running out and there is not much left.
The intention of the thief is to find out the situation of the tomb first, and then find a way to get rid of the things in the tomb unnoticed. The first thing to do is to locate the location of the steel mill, cleverly avoiding the town police station arranged here a team of patrol officers.
Now they're going to find out what's going on in their own way.
Who knows, in the process, the divine thief accidentally found a lot of things they did not anticipate, think this single business, may be far more than just blue and white porcelain so simple, the level of the sale escalated, the divine thief felt that only Yan'er help, this business can not take down, so he immediately contacted the old Sha.
God steal to old sand spread out a map of the ancient town, because of the frequent demolition, this map and the actual situation is a little different, God steal using a red pen, redo a lot of marks on it, four of the points, then use a black pen to draw circles.
"If I'm right, a fellow traveler is already one step ahead." The divine thief said.
"How many people are there?" Old Sha finally understood the reason why the divine thief had called him here.
Things get complicated if the process of doing something meets peers aiming at the same goal. This one also confirms the divine thief's suspicion that this place has such a big attraction that it invites at least two ways. And probably more, making so much noise, the value of the blue and white porcelain is no longer high, but also does not meet the common sense of doing business in this business.
"It's not certain what the other side is from yet." The divine thief laughed helplessly, "And I don't know how many ways the other side has."
"This blue porcelain revealed the phase, the city TV, newspapers have reporters to interview, the town leaders in order to promote tourism revenue, to promote the fame of the ancient town, bragging about a gas, make a big fuss, now ah, hundreds of miles around fishing bias have smelled the meat, certainly to come to a share of the pie, with this kind of no technical content of the people over, it really hurts our image. " Yan'er lightly hummed.
"The trouble is quite big." Old Sha understood the stakes and said carelessly to Yan'er, "Don't underestimate anyone, there's always only one reason for missing, and that's to look down on your opponent."
"No matter what the trouble is, this battle is a must-win, with the three of us joining forces, if we still can't get it, we don't need to mix in the future." The divine thief lined up to pat Lao Sha on the shoulder, "I hope they are all lower three roles."
"Let's see." Old Sha frowned, he felt that the divine thief this time is not the same as before, but exactly what is not right, he could not say.
At this time, Old Sha actually did not expect that the divine thief and his trouble was much more than that. Because the last thing they were looking for was much more valuable than the celadon, in fact, this, the three men had already foreseen.
Old Sha and I said here, pretending to be mysterious: "Xiao Xu, you have written novels about ghosts and gods, you believe in yourself or not."
"It depends on how to understand it." I said to Lao Sha, "to say that do not believe it, in fact, there are really a lot of things that do not understand."
"Do you believe that in this world, there is something that can really summon the dead to fight?" Old Sha suddenly asked me a borderline matter.
"This kind of stuff ......" I hesitate for a moment, "I heard that there are, for example, I think some Taoist priests can imperial ghosts and do some supernatural things."
"You do not understand?" Old Sha corrected me, "Not Taoist priests do puja to imperial ghosts, but can the dead ghosts gathered into an army of things, that thing, is a tiger talisman."
"What is this with ah, I have never heard of a tiger talisman is made of blue and white porcelain." I listened to Lao Sha more and more distant, can not help but a little distracted. Old Sha saw that I was distracted, so he stopped mentioning anything about ghosts and gods and continued to talk about his business.
Theft of this kind of thing, to put it nicely, called fishing, harder to hear, called illegal looting. Since it is illegal, the people who do this business, it is not visible. Long-term in the shadowy world of food, human nature is mostly distorted.
In today's world, because theft is not changed into open robbery, there are a lot of people, forced to a desperate situation, the dog jumped to the wall to harm people's lives is not without.
Although Lao Sha is with the master, taking a more moral and traditional route, the first words into the division is only seek money and not harm life, but because of the rich and dangerous, in order to survive, hands have had human life. So, in his view, other counterparts, naturally, are not good to talk to the role, to really encounter those half-stealing, half-robbing bandits, the real gun on the dry, that is also very possible.
In his heart, Lao Sha does not want to meet the kind of vicious, unprincipled people, and do not want to risk, but in the face of the divine thief, agreed to help this favor, and the divine thief did not say to quit, then you have to help in the end.
But Lao Sha felt the need to be more careful, and the divine thief said, first look at the situation, while figuring out the situation of the tomb, but also to find out what this group of counterparts is the origin, has progressed to what extent, after knowing oneself and the enemy, in order to avoid accidents, even if the head-on collision also has room for maneuvering.
At the same time, it is also necessary to pay more attention to concealment, so as to avoid the occurrence of the mantis catching the cicada and the yellow bird in the back.
After the division of labor, the divine thief continues to be responsible for investigating the situation of the tomb, while Lao Sha is responsible for figuring out the origin of the group of peers. If the action later encountered any changes, see the opportunity to act.
The division of labor between Old Sha and Divine Thief Yan'er was completed. At the suggestion of the divine thief, the divine thief and Yan'er two, continue to set up the detection against the underground tomb, while Lao Sha will need an identity, lurking in the ancient town.
Old Sha disguised himself as an outsider tourist and walked slowly around the town. Look at the environment of the town. The town used to have a few factories, but they were all ancillary industries to the steel mills, some plating, pipe making, profile welding ...... small works, polluting and high energy consumption, so the first to shut down were these factories. Now those affiliated with the original site of small factories have been desolate, only some dilapidated plants and large areas of open space full of weeds remain, the walls have become crumbling, barely recognizable from the abandoned factory doors on what was previously a factory.
The town's industry collapsed and was replaced by a revitalized tourism industry, but the tourism industry here has not been fully developed, the town's streets have few visitors, and the building facilities are not perfect. The residents of the town, when the government must have been called, have opened a number of restaurants and souvenir storefronts on the streets of the town, most of them are also operating miserably, only a dozen or so are still barely maintaining, it looks like not too far from closing down.
That's why once the excavator found the ancient blue and white porcelain on the outskirts of the factory, the local government made a big deal out of it, right? They desperately needed a gimmick to get the reputation of the scenic area out there.
Old Sha thought here, not only sigh in his heart, they there know from the ground, the value of things far beyond their imagination. Archaeological expert group can not come for a while, this kind of thing in China more, they also need to screen the authenticity of things, and whether the excavated artifacts have value. There is still enough time, no need to rush.
Old Sha wandered around the town for two days, sitting and chatting with the local elders a few times, and figured out the general environment and situation of the town.
