Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

On the way back to the provincial hospital.

"Hu Zi, do you know where to find the magic sword and the seven-star nail?" I asked casually.

This is also a desperate attempt to find a cure.

I can only cast a wide net and ask around.

Wang Hu shook his head foolishly.

"I've never heard of these two things. If you're looking for a Bagua mirror, there are a few households in the village that have one."

"But they were all picked off a few years ago. I don't know if they were thrown away."

Well, I guessed this would be the result.

These two things are too unpopular, and probably only people in the Taoist sect know about them.

When we arrived at the hospital, I sent Wang Hu back first.

Zhang Nan and Ai Wuzhuang were accompanying my grandfather in the ward.

My grandfather was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

When he saw me coming back, he immediately waved and called me: "Shitouwa, come quickly. Thanks to Nannan and Wuzhuang for taking care of me these past two days. You should thank them well."

"I will definitely thank them very much."

Ai Wuzhuang rolled his eyes at me and said, "You're here to thank me with nothing in your hands? You didn't even think of bringing some local specialties for Nannan when you went out."

Whoops!

I slapped my forehead.

Hong Guangxiang actually prepared some local specialties for me.

But when he left, he forgot it in the GAZ car.

I guess it will all go into the driver's pocket.

It's impossible to come back.

"I'm sorry, I came back in such a hurry that I forgot to bring some local specialties."

"Don't listen to the armed forces' nonsense. Local specialties are not as important as your safe return."

Zhang Nan's gentle whispers made my heart surge with warmth.

It feels good to be cared about.

"How is Professor Zhang? Has he woken up?"

"It's still the same."

Zhang Nan sighed softly.

Various methods of awakening have been used in the past few days, but Professor Zhang is still in a coma.

The breathing condition is also gradually getting worse.

The doctor said that if the condition continues to develop, heart and lung failure may occur.

It is obvious that Professor Zhang does not have much time left.

There is not much time left for me.

"Sister Nan, I'm going to see Professor Zhang."

"go together."

Zhang Nan accompanied me to Professor Zhang's ward.

She remained silent on the way.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"You will tell me what you should tell me without me asking you, and you won't tell me what you shouldn't tell me even if I ask you."

"Sister Nan is so smart."

"Stop flattering me. Have you found any clues?"

"Things are a bit complicated. The cave where Professor Zhang had the accident is very spooky. It's said there's a fish-like demon that eats people. I met an old man who had been in the cave before, and he said there were many human bones in the underground river..."

I repeated the key points.

Even Zhang Zhishun's affairs were mentioned.

"So I decided to find the things on the list first and make all the necessary preparations before going into the cave with Master Zhang."

I said this to calm Zhang Nan down.

As for the things on the list, most of them are not prepared in full.

As long as I can find the magic sword, I will go into the cave with Master Zhang.

"Let me see the list."

I handed over the list.

The more Zhang Nan looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"Most of these are Taoist instruments. It's very difficult to find them all."

"Then try your best to find it. I've asked people around, and there should be news soon."

"I'll make a copy and ask someone to find out about it when I get back."

Just as Zhang Nan was about to copy the list, he suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, we can find armed forces!"

Then I remembered that four generations of Ai Wuzhuang's ancestors had been pawnshop owners.

There are countless objects that have passed through my hands.

Maybe there will be some magical weapon collected.

We rushed back to grandpa's ward, grabbed Ai Wuzhuang and walked out.

"Are you two planning to kidnap someone?"

"Why don't you just spend some time alone together and spend some time together? Why do you come back and drag me with you?"

"You don't want me to see you two showing affection, do you?"

Zhang Nan stuffed the list into her hands: "Take a look at the things on it, do you have any at home?"

"what?"

Ai Wuzhuang was stunned for a moment before he looked down at the list.

"A magic sword? A true magic sword is rare to find. The magic swords my grandfather collected in the past were all used by charlatans to fool people."

"Seven-star nails? This thing is even less popular. I really don't understand it."

"Bagua mirrors... there used to be quite a lot of them, but my grandfather donated them to be used for steelmaking a few years ago..."

From start to finish.

Ai Wuzhuang's gaze stopped at the last name.

"The spirit-calling bell... I think my uncle has this one. He said a high-ranking Taoist priest once used it. He even blew it at me."

"Will your uncle sell it to you? I'm willing to pay a high price for it!" I said hurriedly.

Ai Wuzhuang rolled his eyes and put his hands behind his back.

"My uncle's nickname is Pixiu. If you put something into his stomach...ah, pah, if you put it into his pocket, don't even think about taking it out. He's famous for what goes in, but never out."

There are actually many such collectors.

Collect the things you like and treat them as your precious treasures.

It is extremely difficult to get such people to give up their love, and it cannot be done simply by spending money.

"Sister Ai, please help me. This thing is very important to saving Professor Zhang."

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter. Otherwise, I will take you to see my uncle now."

"Okay, hurry up."

We left the hospital and walked towards Juyuan Lane on East Street.

Juyuan Lane used to be a gathering place for wealthy families. In front of the street was the Xi'an Restaurant, and behind it were a series of large courtyards.

However, the current Juyuan Lane has lost its former beauty.

Ai Wuzhuang lives in his own old house.

But the old house was no longer hers alone. Some rooms were allocated to several outsiders, and it became like a slum.

Many wealthy houses were like this at that time.

After entering the house, Ai Wuzhuang greeted the neighbors with a smile all the way and kept introducing me and Zhang Nan.

We both put on smiles and called them uncle, aunt, brother and sister.

After finally entering the backyard, Ai Wuzhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"From the moment I enter the house to the moment I return to my room, it's like Tang Sanzang going through 81 trials and tribulations. Even if I see a child, I have to greet them with a smile."

"My uncle's name is Ai Weiguo. He lives in the back room. I guess he's playing with his treasures right now."

"He was obsessed with studying objects. My dad asked someone to find him a job, but he never took him with him."

"When you watch the Spiritual Bell later, don't mention buying it with money."

"He'll be furious if I ask for money."

After some instructions, Ai Wuzhuang led us into my uncle's room.

The small room was filled with objects.

On the cabinets, walls, on the ground, and even on the roof, wherever you can see, there must be all kinds of strange and old objects.

I can't name most of the objects.

He's really a collector's man.

"Uncle, I brought two friends here to broaden their horizons."

Ai Weiguo slowly raised his head.

He pushed up his glasses that had slid down his nose.

His eyes moved back and forth between me and Zhang Nan.

"You can look at it as you like, but don't touch anything. You can't touch anything here."

"Uncle~"

Ai Wuzhuang said coquettishly, "We want to see your precious spirit-calling bell."

"Want to see the Spiritual Bell?"

Ai Weiguo glanced at me.

"Do you know what a spirit bell is?"

"If you don't know, don't look around. You might see ghosts if you do."
