Chapter 877: The mystery of the ancient tomb
Cangzhou.
Lin Ran thought to himself, isn't this the place where he met Lao Hei for the first time?
At that time, he also said that he was from Cangzhou, where he and Lin Ran were gambling on the tomb.
Lin Ran was full of curiosity about this ancient tomb, so he replied: "I'm going to contact my friend. How should I contact Ma Rubin when I arrive in Cangzhou?"
"I will inform Captain Ma. Don't worry. Although Director Ma cannot help openly, he will give you no less help in private."
After leaving his contact number, Uncle Zhang left.
At this time, Guan Yun, who was standing at the door, walked in and said, "There was a bald man who wanted to break into the office just now, but I stopped him."
Lin Ran didn't take it to heart at first, but then he thought about it. Among the prosperous craftsmen, besides Yang Jianlong, who else had a bald head?
He was anxious and asked, "Why didn't I hear the sound?"
"Sir, you are talking about something important. How can I let irrelevant people disturb you?" Guan Yun smiled slightly, "I have tied him to the room next door."
Lin Ran was so frightened that he hurried to Yang Jianlong's office and found that he was tied up with a sock stuffed in his mouth and he was hemming and hawing.
Obviously, Yang Jianlong didn't expect that he would be kidnapped in his own store. It would be a shame and a shame to tell anyone.
Lin Ran quickly untied him and introduced Yang Jianlong to Guan Yun.
"This is my... godson, who is also the owner of this store. You can't treat him like this." Lin Ran was made to laugh and cry by Guan Yun.
But Guan Yun was so powerful that he tied up Yang Jianlong without making a sound. They didn't hear any movement inside.
With such a person as a bodyguard, I am afraid that if Liu Ye finds a few more gangsters to cause trouble, there will be no return.
Yang Jianlong sat in front of Lin Ran, his face full of grievances. He originally wanted to complain, but when he saw Guan Yun's look, he had to swallow his words.
Lin Ran apologized repeatedly, and the two finally resolved the conflict.
Then, he told Yang Jianlong about going to Cangzhou.
Yang Jianlong touched his head and hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Okay." Yang Jianlong plucked up the courage and said, "Godfather, I know you like to help others. You used to have no money and you had to always think of ways to make money."
"But our store's current turnover, not to mention the net profit, is hundreds of thousands a day. You are always robbing tombs, and there are all kinds of dangers inside. Can't you live a more comfortable life?" Yang Jianlong looked embarrassed.
Every time Lin Ran went to the tomb, he would tell him what happened in the tomb when he came back. Almost every time, he narrowly escaped death. Yang Jianlong felt both admiration and worry in his heart.
He wanted to say to Lin Ran, now that we all have our own careers, why bother tinkering with underground things anymore.
Didn't you agree to go abroad to do the work of returning cultural relics? Why do you often do such hard work and make little money?
How could Lin Ran not understand Yang Jianlong's painstaking efforts? He smiled and said, "Jianlong, the protection of cultural relics is not just brought back from foreign countries. The ones buried underground are also the treasures of China. What we have to do is to restore civilization." Now, all those abroad and underground will be arrested."
"Okay." Yang Jianlong knew that Lin Ran had made a decision, so he sighed and said, "I can't help you with the burial, but I will take care of the business of the store. Godfather, you can go there with peace of mind. .”
"Bah, don't say such words that send chills down the spine." Lin Ran was rendered speechless by Yang Jianlong.
The two laughed loudly, and Lin Ran also felt that it was too hard for Yang Jianlong to deal with Shengshi Craftsmanship alone during this period.
When he comes back from archeology this time, he will definitely manage the operation of the store with him.
After saying goodbye to Yang Jianlong, Lin Ran drove to Yanziwu and told them about his plans to go to Cangzhou.
But before Lin Ran finished speaking, Liu Jingfeng looked at Guan Yun in front of him, frowned, and asked, "Brother Lin, who is this?"
Lin Ran smiled and said: "This is my bodyguard. He will go to the grave with me."
Liu Jingfeng obviously didn't like taking people he didn't know, and said: "The situation in the tomb is complicated. It may be dangerous to take an inexperienced person in. How about letting him wait outside?"
Before Lin Ran could answer, Guan Yun took the lead and said, "That won't work. My mission is to protect Mr. Lin. Wherever he is, I will be there."
"I will tell him." Lin Ran smiled, "Xu Ning has worked with him, so I should know what he is like."
"Okay." Since Lin Ran said so, Liu Jingfeng agreed.
It was arranged that everyone would set off to Cangzhou early the next morning.
But Liu Jingfeng was a little embarrassed when he heard that he had to arrange his own accommodation.
"I'm not familiar with that area in Cangzhou. I'm afraid we have to sleep in the wild." It's already mid-April, and there are many mosquitoes in the wild, making camping more difficult.
Lin Ran laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, isn't that Lao Hei's home court?"
Liu Jingfeng immediately realized that Lao Hei was a well-known local master in Cangzhou and had a small reputation in the industry.
It was too late to arrange a place for Guan Yun, and Guan Yun didn't want to leave Lin Ran, so he let him squeeze in with him.
They made do with it for the whole night, and the next day they went to Yanziwu to meet up with Liu Jingfeng and his party.
In order to facilitate everyone's travel, Liu Jingfeng arranged a bus.
On the way to Cangzhou, Lin Ran told everyone about the inscription he saw.
When they heard the curse, they already had a stress reaction.
"There are all kinds of poisons in the tomb, right?" They were frightened when they thought of the poisonous gas in the tomb of the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin.
In order to cope with this situation, Amin prepared more medicines in his backpack, and even brought medicine for altitude sickness.
Lao Hei also gave everyone a brief introduction to the background of Cangzhou.
"Cangzhou is a plain city with few rocks. The most famous one is Maliu Mountain, but it is only more than 30 meters above sea level. I'm afraid it is not a geomantic treasure."
Lao Hei has been in Cangzhou for so many years, and the most excavated local tombs are small tombs from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
They just use Cangzhou as their base and often go to other cities for activities.
Unexpectedly, under their noses, there was an ancient tomb of unknown age.
"Mr. Lin, what dynasty do you think the tomb is from?" Lao Hei brought the topic back to the destination.
Lin Ran held his chin and thought for a while before replying: "Judging from the handwriting of the inscription, it should be a tomb from five generations ago."
Because the strokes inside are very complicated, this type of font has become extinct after the Tang Dynasty.
