"Mr. Liu Zhihua, please," Mr. Zhao gestured, and the bespectacled man behind him opened the car door for us.
After getting in the car, we went straight to the restaurant. Boss Zhao asked for a private room, and I sat down inside.
The table was already set with food and drinks. He handed me a cigarette, saying, "I knew Mr. Liu Zhihua would come."
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
"Haha, that's straightforward, truly straightforward. Since Mr. Liu Zhihua is so straightforward, then I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I want to ask you to help me find something, and this thing is very likely in the place you are going to."
"What is that?"
One hundred and thirty-two ancient sacrificial symbols
“A bronze plaque engraved with a bird's body and a snake's head,” Boss Zhao said, his gaze deepening as he stared at me, enunciating each word clearly.
I was startled, but I didn't show it. "What do you need it for?"
"Hehe, please forgive me, Mr. Liu Zhihua, but I can't tell you. In short, it's very important, and I must get it, so please do me this favor."
He nodded. "To tell you the truth, I have seen this thing before."
"Where is it?" Boss Zhao's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
"It's in an ancient tomb, but it's just a mural carved on a stone. I don't know what the actual object is. This is a sacred sacrificial object from ancient Shu. It could bring bloodshed if you're not careful. I advise you to give up the idea, because according to the information we have so far, this thing is very evil and seems to be used to sacrifice ghosts."
"Mr. Liu Zhihua, you don't need to worry about that. Just help me find it. Name your price, and I will try my best to meet any requirements you may have."
I shook my head again. "You underestimate the dangers involved. In short, I will not agree to your request. Besides, I have already promised Chairman Zhang. After all, he approached me first. From any perspective, I will not help you. This is my principle and my reputation."
Mr. Zhao smoked a cigarette, looked at me for a while, and said, "Mr. Liu Zhihua, to be honest, I admire your character and hope that we can cooperate in the future." After saying that, he stood up and extended his hand to me.
I stood up, reached out, and shook hands.
"Haha, it's alright, even if the business doesn't go through, we can still be friends! Come on, I'll have a couple of drinks with Master Liu today."
I smiled and didn't refuse. These people are all old foxes; it's best to be cautious when dealing with them.
It was almost afternoon by the time I finished eating. After doing some business, I went home. As soon as I got home, my mom told me to go to Wang Ling's house tomorrow. She said it's impossible for me, the future son-in-law, not to visit my future mother-in-law and father-in-law when we're about to get engaged.
Then, early the next morning, I followed Wang Ling to her house with a big bag of things, knowing that her relatives and friends would inevitably ask me questions.
When I got back, I was exhausted. I was just about to take a shower when the phone rang. I saw that it was an unknown number.
I answered the phone with some doubt. It turned out to be Professor Zhang Ming, whom I had met at Sanxingdui. He said there had been a major discovery at Sanxingdui and asked me to come over. His voice was trembling slightly on the other end of the phone, as if the major discovery was very shocking.
I didn't want to go at first, but Zhang Ming said that this matter was of great importance and required the help of a feng shui master, otherwise they wouldn't dare to make any rash moves.
In the end, I agreed and notified Xiang Fei, explaining the situation to him. He was also willing to go, so the matter was settled, and we would go to Sanxingdui tomorrow morning.
After dinner, I read for a while and then went to bed early. I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I keep having dreams. If this continues, I'll probably have to take sleeping pills.
The next morning, Xiang Fei and I met in town and then took a car to Sanxingdui.
We arrived at Sanxingdui around noon, and Professor Zhang was already there to pick us up at the station. He looked very excited. He first took us to a restaurant for lunch, and then we headed straight to Sanxingdui.
Judging from his excited expression, it was as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.
"What did you find that made you so excited?" I asked.
