The Antique Street is in the south of the city, but the city is quite large. It took about half an hour to walk there before Lin Shan stopped a carriage.
Although he is a warrior, it is not easy for him to run wildly in the city. It does not matter if it affects the traffic in Zanggao City, but it is not good if it damages the image of Yushu Linfeng.
As for the golden bell, Lin Shan was secretly furious, he was bound to get it!
There are only two ways, one relies on strength and the other relies on financial resources.
In terms of strength, it is impossible to do it with the current breath-changing realm. As for financial resources... three thousand taels of gold, converted to close to thirty thousand taels of silver, selling him is not even worth the price.
If you want to quickly improve your strength, it is impossible to practice step by step. Naturally, you need ancient rhyme-enhanced elixirs. If you want a lot of money, you also need ancient rhyme-enhanced weapons to sell.
But how to get Gu Yun, you have to have strength and money, so this is a knot in the circle!
"I can only find another way first..."
…
Arriving at the antique street, Lin Shan looked at the long list of stalls on both sides of the street and began to carefully screen them.
From the street to the end of the street, it was almost dusk.
Lin Shan finally found several black lotus Buddha statues at a stall.
"This young master really knows his stuff! These small things were all just escaped from the ancient tomb of Yelang. Yelang was an ancient country thousands of years ago, and there are all good treasures inside. I will definitely not pick it up for you.
Suffer!"
The stall owner is a thin, wretched-looking young man with a mustache on his lips who speaks in a twitchy manner and is quite inciting.
Lin Shan didn't waste any time. He picked up several black lotus Buddha statues and looked at them. Compared with the Buddha statues he met at the pawn shop in Qinghe County, they were almost identical in shape.
But the difference is that these Buddha statues do not feel like antiques, and they have no ancient charm.
"Where did you get these Buddha statues? Are they also from Yelang Ancient Tomb?"
"That's right, the things on my stall are all just unearthed from Yelang's ancient tomb."
Lin Shan looked at the messy things on his stall, and there was even a chamber pot with the words "Da Song Ru Kiln" printed on the bottom! He couldn't help but have a lot of words for the stall owner.
You are so damn good at bragging, it seems like you have to use a trick...
Lin Shan took out five taels of scattered silver from his pocket, then thought about his tight life, put back another three taels, and handed the rest to the stall owner.
"Brother, I want to be honest, where do these black lotus Buddha statues come from?"
At the same time, he stirred up his true energy in his right hand and slapped the bluestone on the ground hard!
"Crack!" The floor cracked and at the same time, a palm print about an inch deep was clearly visible!
The wretched stall owner was shocked! He quickly replied:
"Coming from Taoyuan Village, three hundred miles west of the city!
But Taoyuan Village is at the foot of Yelang Mountain, and Yelang Ancient Tomb is in Yelang Mountain, so I didn’t lie to you just now."
Lin Shan remembered the golden bell he saw in the auction house in the west of the city, which seemed to come from Yelang Ancient Tomb. He frowned and asked again: "Is Yelang Ancient Tomb very busy recently?"
The stall owner collected the money and was frightened by Lin Shan's strength, so he hurriedly explained hard.
"Yes, last month a group of tomb robbers discovered the ancient tomb of Yelang in Yelang Mountain and stole many incredible things from the tomb.
It is said that there was a black lotus Buddha statue that was 10 feet long! It was bought directly by a nobleman from Bianliang in the capital for a huge price. There was also a golden bell, which they sold to Mr. Zhao from the antique shop in the west of the city."
The tall black lotus Buddha statue! The golden bell!
Lin Shan instantly remembered that the golden clock had the ancient charm of eight o'clock, and the giant black lotus Buddha statue unearthed was probably no less valuable, or even higher!
The stall owner became more and more excited as he talked: "After that, many people flocked here. They all wanted to go to Yelang Ancient Tomb to try their luck. If they can dig out any more treasures, they would be lucky!"
Lin Shan secretly wrote down the key information while listening to him.
"But except for the group of tomb robbers who went in at the beginning and were able to come out, the people who went in later never came out again..." The wretched stall owner showed a dark look of fear,
"It is said that people outside the ancient tomb can always hear terrifying roars inside the tomb. I followed the flow of people there, but did not dare to go in, so I dared to get some black lotus from the villagers in Taoyuan Village at the foot of the mountain.
The Buddha statue is back."
As he said that, he saw something wrong with Lin Shan's expression, and quickly explained: "Young Master, everything I said is true, and I didn't mean to lie to you at first. Recently, the Black Lotus Buddha statue has been very popular because of the incident involving the nobleman in the capital.
As soon as it appeared on the market, it was sold out, so I just wanted to make a small profit, and I met you as soon as I walked out of the stall today..."
Of course, Lin Shan didn't mean to blame the stall owner, but he was silently analyzing and sorting out the information he said.
The real antiques brought back from the Yelang Tomb include the giant black lotus Buddha statue bought by a nobleman from Bianliang in Tokyo, the golden clock from the antique shop in the west of the city, and maybe other items.
The antiquities unearthed together with the golden bell are likely to have ancient charm!
Although no one who entered later came out, the first batch of tomb robbers were safe and sound. So if other tomb objects were brought out, the first batch of tomb robbers must know where they are!
Either they keep it in their hands, or they sell it to others.
I can't afford to offend the antique shop, but the little tomb robber himself still has the courage. At least I still have a part-time identity as the Nightingale Killer...
"Do you know where the first batch of tomb robbers are?"
Looking at the confused eyes of the wretched stall owner, Lin Shan smiled and explained, "I have no other intention, I am just very interested in the situation in the tomb and want to find out more about it from them."
The stall owner advised earnestly: "Young Master is young, so you don't need to put yourself in danger. Yelang Ancient Tomb has now become a forbidden place, and everyone can't avoid it."
Lin Shan had no choice but to stuff the remaining three taels of silver into the guy's hand.
The money ability is really useful!
The stall owner immediately beamed, "I only know that these tomb robbers are the followers of Wu Yuanwai in the west of the city. Wu Yuanwai is mainly engaged in the funeral industry in the west of the city, so... I have been exposed to a lot of ancient tombs and the like... cough cough!"
Lin Shan immediately heard the implication. Wu Yuanwai was not only engaged in funerals, but also often engaged in the business of inversion. Speaking of burials, he robbed other people's tombs with his back. Is Wu Yuanwai's operation so arrogant?
He held the stall owner and interrogated him for a long time, until he really couldn't find anything to say. Seeing that it was getting dark and everyone around him had almost closed down their stalls, Lin Shan let him go.
Unexpectedly, this boy still wanted to know more, and kept asking him if there was anything else he wanted to ask.
"Do you really think I'm stupid and have too much money?" Lin Shan felt depressed and called a carriage to go home.
…
At night, put on the killer three-piece suit: black clothes, black veil, and black turban.
Lin Shan walked out of his courtyard and quietly sneaked into the west of the city.
Before coming back, he had already inquired about Wu Yuanwai's residence. After all, there were only a few funeral parlors in the west of the city, so he easily found Wu Yuanwai's house.
You can easily climb over the wall, and there is a small pond in the courtyard. Several loquat trees stand in front of the courtyard and sway in the wind.
It can be seen that our member Wu is quite elegant!
After crossing the main house and entering the backyard, when I touched the door of the west wing, I could faintly hear sounds coming from inside.
"Master has gone to bed, you can go out."
It seemed to be a middle-aged female voice, and then three or five maids exited the room. Lin Shan hurriedly hid aside.
After the servants left, he quietly walked outside the door again and waited. After a while, two gentle snores came from inside.
Chapter completed!
