Chapter 128 [Exorcism Beast] (Part 2)

Walking into the library of Yanjing University, Luo Lie found the sparrow in front of the bookshelf in the northwest corner. The sparrow stood on the ladder and looked for the information she wanted from the top of the bookshelf. She stretched out her right hand to pull out a book in the distance, but the position was very barely located. After working hard for a while, she finally pulled out the book from it, but her body suddenly lost its balance. She cried out and fell from the bookshelf.

Luo Lie was quick-witted and opened his arms to catch the sparrow falling from the air. The book in the sparrow's hand had fallen to the ground. His hands naturally hugged Luo Lie's neck. His bright eyes looked at Luo Lie through the black-framed glasses, and he could not find any fear in her eyes. Luo Lie suddenly realized that he had been deceived by this girl. The sparrow should have noticed his arrival long ago and deliberately pretended to be the illusion of falling from the ladder.

The sparrow immediately realized that his expression was not real enough, and immediately looked shocked and exhaled, "I'm scared to death, fortunately I have you."

Luo Lie smiled slightly, without pointing it out, put down the sparrow with great grace, and said softly: "Be careful."

When the sparrow bowed and picked up the book from the ground, and turned his back to Luo Lie, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She thought that her little trick had not been discovered by Luo Lie. When she turned around, her expression had returned to normal: "I thought you forgot me, and said, are you passing by today or coming to me specifically?"

Luo Lie said: "Of course I'm here to find you, Sparrow, I want to ask you to help identify something."

"no problem!"

The sparrow was very curious when he heard that Luo Lie dug out two stone sculptures from the ruins of Qichun Garden. He immediately followed Luo Lie to Zhengjue Temple. The sparrow did not take too long to judge that the two stone sculptures were not old. To be precise, these two evil-proofing instruments were not real stone sculptures, but the surface was covered with a layer of stone powder, but inside was a wood sculpture. The wood sculpture was hollow and hidden gold, which looked very real from the surface. The wood sculpture was made of gloomy wood, and painted inside and outside, the material, craftsmanship and techniques were very similar to the production of a coffin. The biggest advantage of this was that it could ensure that the wood would not rot for thousands of years.

Sparrow said: "I have read a lot of information about the Old Summer Palace in the past, but there is no information to prove that someone buried a treasure under the ruins of the Old Summer Palace."

The blind man said: "Most historical materials record everything that is well-known, and the real secret will definitely not be written on it. If it were written on it, everyone would know that there is a treasure under the Old Summer Palace. This Old Summer Palace is probably already overturned, so how could it be our turn?" He was ready to pose for a big fight.

Arnold also came to his heart and nodded repeatedly, "As such a big garden, how many treasures must be hidden under it. Dig, dig, dig, and dig them all out, let's divide it."

The blind man looked at him coldly and said, "I'll break up the horse. This garden is destroyed by your Eight-Nation Alliance. It doesn't count if you steal it or rob it. It's burned it with a fire. Don't you feel sorry for it? Is there still humanity?"

Arnold was speechless by him. Although this matter had nothing to do with Arnold, the blind man would definitely count the sins committed by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Arnold did not argue, and knew that it was useless to argue. He was absolutely not as good as the blind man when it came to messing around.

Luo Lie said: "Is there any possibility that these golds did not belong here, but someone chose this place and secretly hid the things here."

After thinking about it seriously, the sparrow nodded first and said, "It is very likely that I will not be buried for too long, and it will definitely not exceed thirty years."

Luo Lie thought to himself that if the sparrows were correct, these wood carvings should have been buried under the Old Summer Palace within 30 years. From the time perspective, they should match the time when Prince Rui discovered the secret hidden in the Old Summer Palace. Could it be that Prince Rui was buried in this place? But Ye Qinghong had not mentioned this before. Did she know nothing about it? If she didn't know about this, how did outsiders know? Could it be that the thieves who last night were sent by Prince Hong?

While Luo Lie was thinking, the sparrow patiently scratched the stone powder on the surface of the evil beast with a knife, and found a line of small characters on the inside of the right hind leg. From the craftsmanship of the evil beast, it can be seen that the wood carvings are definitely not ordinary craftsmen, and each industry has its own tricks. Many craftsmen will leave their names on their works. As expected, there are also marks above the evil beast.

The sparrow exclaimed: "Luo Xingmu!"

Even if Luo Lie broke his head, he would not have thought that these two wood carvings were related to Luo Xingmu. Although Luo Xingmu was a carpenter, he had never heard of the origin between Luo Xingmu and the Old Summer Palace. He went up and saw with his own eyes that the signature hidden on the inside of the right leg of the wood carving was indeed Luo Xingmu.

Luo Lie thought secretly, if these wood carvings with hidden gold were related to the royal family, then what is the relationship between Luo Xingmu and the royal family? He learned all the news about the secret collection of the Old Summer Palace from Ye Qinghong. According to Ye Qinghong, Prince Rui was ordered to build the Old Summer Palace and accidentally discovered the secret collection. Because he was worried that the Old Buddha would squander all the secret collection, he concealed this matter from the court.

Liu Tongsi was also one of the insiders at that time. Thinking of the relationship between Liu Tongsi and the leader of Langya Village, Xiao Tianxing, Luo Lie vaguely inferred the reason why the wood carvings carved by Luo Xingmu appeared here. Luo Xingmu also chose to hide in Lingtian Castle at that time, and perhaps these people had known each other for a long time.

However, after all, everything is just speculation. At present, Luo Lie can think of the person who solved this puzzle, Ye Qinghong, and Liu Tongsi. Since Ye Qinghong handed over this place to him, he suddenly evaporated from the world. During this period, Luo Lie has not received any news about her.

In the blind man's opinion, Luo Lie considered too many things. Although they were employed by Ye Qinghong, the gold they found should be their bonus. In addition to finding Zhou Xiaodie, he had another task when he came to Peking this time, which was to dig treasures in the Old Summer Palace. The blind man believed that there was more than just this gold hidden in the Old Summer Palace. Perhaps there were a large amount of treasures waiting to be discovered near the two wooden carvings.

Luo Lie said to Zhang Changgong: "What do you think of Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Changgong said: "I always think those people will come back. I have seen the excavation site. There is only one thief hole. Their purpose is very clear and it seems that they know the location in advance. I don't think they will be willing to fall into our hands."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "It's very likely."

The sparrow quietly left the room at this time. Luo Lie followed her outside after he noticed it. The sparrow whispered: "Take me to the scene to see it."

Luo Lie nodded and walked to the place where the wood carving was discovered last night with the sparrow.

The afternoon sun is very bright, shining on the ruins of weeds. The ruins and the thriving vegetation form a sharp contrast. The willow trees by the lake have begun to spit green. It won’t take long for the bare winter will be covered with green silk ribbons. When the wind blows, the green green will sway, and the devastated ruins suddenly become vivid.

Two little birds flapped their colorful wings one after another and flew past each other. The sparrows looked at the Old Summer Palace, which was once called the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens. They sighed and hoped that the Old Summer Palace had been robbed several times. Even so, the fire of the Eight-Nation Alliance still could not destroy the life on this land. After experiencing disasters, plants, trees, flowers and birds could still bring new vitality.

The sparrow saw the newly dug hole. After a night of work, the hole was filled with water. She turned around nearby, but no other thieves were found. She returned to Luo Lie and whispered: "Luo Lie, can I ask you something?"

Luo Lie nodded and smiled and said, "I like you begging me."

The sparrow's heart was chaotic because of the like in Luo Lie's words. She realized that she was becoming less and less resistant in front of Luo Lie. At this time, she could only put on a vicious expression and use a roll to hide her true heart. After saying that, she felt that her mind suddenly broke and she had forgotten what she wanted to say. It was not until Luo Lie reminded that she suddenly realized and cleared her throat and said, "If you really discover the secret, I hope you don't have it for yourself. If you exchange it for money, what is the difference between the Eight-Nation Alliance and those thieves? These things are the common wealth of our Chinese people and belong to the country."

Luo Lie had long known that the sparrow had a pure heart. While admiring the girl's patriotism, he also asked her a question: "Are you telling me to hand over what I found to the government?"

The sparrow nodded.

Luo Lie said again: "Do you think the Beiyang government is trustworthy? Can you guarantee that the things we hand over will not become the private possession of those bureaucrats and will not be embezzled by those in power?"

The sparrow was stopped by Luo Lie, and he didn't know how to respond for a while. After a while, he said: "But there are always good people. I believe there are still many good people in this world."

Luo Lie said: "I believe it too, but I believe in myself more."

The sparrow seemed to have realized something from his words, widened his beautiful eyes and exclaimed: "Do you want to take it for yourself?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "It is taken from the people and used for the people. Money that has no meaning of collection can be used to do good deeds. Things with collection and archaeological value may be better to find a secret and safe place to preserve it. When the world is peaceful, we can build a museum so that all Chinese people can visit for free. I think this is more meaningful?"

The sparrow's beautiful eyes shine and said, "Are you talking about building a museum like the Louvre?"
