Endless route

Chapter 242 12. Bartering with the Cultural Relics Bureau

"It's not surprising that monkeys can fly, but this kind of monkey actually has such long tail feathers? This tail feather is two meters long."

"How big must this monkey be?"

"A monkey with colorful wings?"

Other security personnel who were traveling with him also murmured in low voices. Ji Dao spoke clearly and clearly. From his tone, it was clear that this matter was true, but they had never heard of such a monkey.

"It is indeed unheard of. This rare and beautiful monkey should be very famous. Where is it distributed in the endless sea route? We have never heard of it. Is it extinct?"

The person in charge rubbed his chin and looked at the tail feather, and couldn't help but admire it. This kind of object can be called a rare treasure.

"This type of monkey lives on a giant tree and never falls to the ground. It is three feet long and feeds on birds and fruits. It was difficult for ancient people to catch it. Its tail feathers are rare but of no other value."

Ji Dao raised his chin slightly and explained to everyone.

"It should be extinct."

Zheng Yun slowly added that the monkey Jidao was talking about might be a special creature left on the ground.

"What is Monster Hiroshi?"

Zhai Mo still stared straight at Jidao.

"We have a collection of Youwu Bozhi at home. I thought your cultural relics bureau also had it, but I didn't expect it to be an only copy."

Ji Dao told the truth.

"It's worth a lot of money if it's alone."

Zheng Yun continued to speak to smooth things over.

He had to help Ji Dao talk back. Ji Dao was reckless but not stupid. He could understand what he meant. He would say what he should say and he should not talk nonsense.

"Then what is this tile?"

The person in charge pointed to the dark rotten tiles.

"The material of the tiles is weird. The texture is hard and lacks toughness. The cracks look like fangs biting through them. I guess it may be the armor that was fired using tile molds when the commander was young."

Jidao's tone slowed down and he hesitated a little. He was not sure about the origin and use of this thing, so he could only make a guess.

As for why I guess so.

Because he had done similar things before, Tiangong did not have armor-making products. When he was a teenager, he used Xianhai wet mud and tile molds to burn a set of armor for himself.

Who didn’t fantasize about the battlefield when they were young?

With Ji Dao's temperament, he is even more of a heavyweight, and he probably fantasizes about the battlefield all the time.

"It makes sense. This commander rose from the bottom of the Triton Guards. He was a martial artist since he was a child, but his family was poor. As the saying goes, the rich military but the poor are educated. Children from poor families can only use bricks and mud to make their armor."

"After becoming famous, he guarded one side and still placed the armor in his bedroom. This commander really did not forget his original intention."

The person in charge nodded repeatedly. Ji Dao's reasoning was indeed reasonable and coincided with historical records.

Let’s not talk about whether it is right or not.

At least it's reasonable.

With such a small story, this cultural relic has the opportunity to be displayed, and no longer has to be relegated to the storage room.

"The origin of this commander is unknown. This material is an important clue to trace his ancestral home. Do you know where this material is used to burn tiles?" Zhai Mo asked.

"How do I know this? The black tiles and mud with bright spots can be as high as eight hundred or as high as one thousand. Who can tell the difference clearly?"

Ji Dao shook his head and looked at the next item.

"Eight hundred?"

Zhai Mo was stunned for a moment.

"Just a metaphor."

Zheng Yun added unhurriedly.

"The only thing that's a little weird is that the jade ornaments and bronze bars have this kind of pattern. I've never heard of it."

Jidao looked at Zheng Yun with confusion.

The lucky cloud pattern is the most common pattern of immortals, gods, demons and ghosts in the Jianxian Division. It is often seen on the jade articles of the Jianxian Division. The misty clouds entangle the gods, ghosts and immortals, which means to monitor the immortals, gods, demons and ghosts in all directions.

Once this pattern appears, it is the property of the Immortal Supervisor.

But Ji Dao didn't know the purpose of this set of jade ornaments with a human face and an animal body, and the square base resembled a jade seal.

"I haven't seen it either."

Zheng Yun shook his head and communicated with Jidao in secret. This jade seal was the most evil and weird instrument on this cultural relic shelf.

"This kind of lucky cloud pattern is quite common. It is bound to be found in all important areas of Haiwei. However, it is rare in number and of a very high level. Basically, most of them are weird-shaped objects like this."

"The Cultural Relics Bureau has discovered the identity jade plaque and imperial seal with the blessing cloud pattern, and basically determined that it is a status symbol of a sea guard. It is not difficult to see from the details that its origin is not small."

Zhai Mo in turn explained to the two of them.

He also thought that Zheng Yun and Ji Dao did not know the lucky cloud pattern, most of the lucky cloud pattern utensils were not on display, and the probability that civilians would see the lucky cloud pattern through other channels was very low.

And he only spoke half of what he said.

The Cultural Relics Bureau knew that the Fu Yun Pattern was exclusive to the Supervisory Immortal Division. Although Zhai Mo was young, he had heard about it a little bit. However, he was still young, but he would not say anything.

These three words are "Jian Xian Si".

I'm not the type to talk nonsense to outsiders.

"I looked at the shape of it. It might be some kind of key, but I can't tell where the keyhole is just by looking at it." Ji Dao shook his head at Zheng Yun and expressed his ignorance.

"Then look at the others."

Zheng Yun walked to the next cultural relic shelf.

There are so many cultural relics waiting for identification that even if you just glance at them, you will have to look at them for a long time.

"These items are all rare treasures, but rare treasures also have miraculous uses. It depends on the usage scenario."

Ji Dao scanned up and down.

"This is not far from the island we are traveling to, but we can't delay too long. Let's take a quick look."

Zheng Yun said cryptically, Blessing City and Qixian Island are only ten hours away by boat, which was not that far in ancient times.

With the ancient Blessing Dusi's influence and sphere of influence, it was easy to reach the Immortal Prison Island. Even the floating city in the deep sea was the land of gods and ghosts under Blessing Dusi.

You can look in this direction.

Let's see if they can find any artifacts related to the deep-sea floating city. This is the most critical need for them.

"Um."

Ji Dao took two steps back to the middle of the passage and began to scan a wide range of the instruments on the cultural relic shelves, scanning seven or eight items at a glance.

Zheng Yun also followed suit.

The cultural relics here are really miscellaneous, and the shapes and textures of the vessels all have a bit of a strange flavor. Some of them look extremely weird, and they are well kept by the Cultural Relics Bureau.

"This brown tea cake is not a good thing. It is highly poisonous and is not for people to drink. It is of little significance to preserve it. You can throw it away or put it in porcelain."

Noriichi pointed to a large black tea cake.

The label says it looks like a tea cake, but it is actually a kind of herbivore fragrant sand. It is not difficult to produce, and it was made into the shape of a tea cake by someone who didn't know the good thing.

"Good eyesight, we know it's poisonous, but what is it used for?" Zhai Mo praised from the bottom of his heart.

It is difficult to tell whether the things Ji Dao said before were true or false, including the monkey tail feather. He made up a few sentences and no one knew about it. But this big tea cake is different. The Cultural Relics Bureau has long known that it is poisonous.

There was no laboratory test, no careful inspection, and just a quick glance showed that the tea cake was poisonous. This rule is really quite good.

"It repels insects."

Ji Dao said half of it.

Another characteristic of this kind of tea cake is the smoke. As long as the tea cake is lit, the smoke will billow into the sky. Moreover, the color of the smoke is yellow and can be seen hundreds of miles away.

"good."

Zhai Mo took out a notebook and took notes.

"What is this?"

The person in charge walked up to an instrument that looked like a long sword, but this long sword had no edge. The tip was flat, like an iron ruler, and the handle was the same length as the blade.

"The commander-in-chief actually has something like this in his office. It's used for making alchemy. It's half rusty and can't be used anymore."

Ji Dao gave an appraisal at a glance.

"Alchemy?"

Zhai Mo asked subconsciously. They had also consulted relevant literature, but they never knew that this object was related to alchemy.

"It's not conventional alchemy, it's sea alchemy." Ji Dao shook his head and said an unheard of new word.

"There are many branches of alchemy."

Zheng Yun answered the question at the right time. He didn't know what Hai Lian Dan was, so it was always right to make up for it first.

"Yes, there are so many."

Ji Dao also answered in turn.

"..."

Zhai Mo paused for a moment.

The two of them sang in harmony, as if they were talking in cross talk, and it sounded as if there was something behind their words.

"Hey, this thing came from the wrong place. Did you find it from the commander's side room?" Jidao suddenly stopped.

He squatted in front of a slender iron chain. This iron chain was very similar to the iron chain holding the ghost figurines, but it was slightly thicker and had a copper rattle hanging at the end.

"The source is wrong?" Zheng Yun asked with a frown.

"The source is wrong." Ji Dao nodded.

This question and answer is about whether the iron chain and the ghost figurines are the same, and the answer is not the same.

"We also found a manger. We suspect it was a device for tethering livestock, but the manger is more than two meters high. We don't know what kind of animals are kept in the courtyard."

Zhai Mo explained to the two of them.

"The manger, which is more than two meters high, may be used to raise monkeys or birds?" the person in charge then guessed.

"Probably not. There is a very weird puddle in the side yard where the manger is located." Zhai Mo denied.

"Beasts? You guys are just talking."

Ji Dao was horrified and quickly tried to dissuade several people. They really dared to say anything, including the word "beast".

"Then what is it?"

Zhai Mo was startled by Ji Dao.

"It's hard to say." Jidao glanced at Zheng Yun.

"Is this thing dangerous?" Zheng Yun asked confused.

"It's not dangerous, but logically it shouldn't be. This thing is not used in the human world. It has something to do with fish and can be used to explore paths." Ji Dao said in confusion.

"It doesn't matter, just keep watching."

Zheng Yun stood up. There were too many strange and strange objects in Haiwei. He could find a way to get them from the Cultural Relics Bureau, but there were not many such opportunities. He couldn't just grab every one of them.

"Um."

Ji Dao nodded and sped up.

After that, Ji Dao only glanced roughly, and stopped talking when he encountered something that was not right. He quickly scanned the two rows of cultural relic shelves and circled around the end to enter other passages.

Zhai Mo and the person in charge had many questions to ask, but tonight's mission was to catch ghosts, and the purpose of coming to the storage room to look at cultural relics was also to eliminate danger. It was not convenient for them to ask this or that.

Minutes passed in a flash.

Ji Dao looked at more than 200 cultural relics, then stopped again, looking straight at a cultural relic at his feet, his tone changed and his face became solemn: "Master Yun, there is something very wrong with this thing, it cannot be kept in this place. "

Everyone looked down.

It was a small and exquisite smoker. It was made of brass and had three legs. There was black soil inside the hollow surface. It was about the size of a human head and six inches high. It looked unremarkable and looked like the same model in the morning market.

To be honest, the brass of this smoker is very old and black, and there is still some dirt on the soles of the feet, like the garbage from the demolition of the ashram. Even if it is thrown on the roadside, no one will pick it up.

"How to say?"

The person in charge was the first to ask.

Everyone was startled by Ji Dao's serious tone, and all looked at Ji Dao to see what explanation he would give.

"This thing is similar to an iron plate. I happened to see its origin and know where it came from."

Jidao looked at Zheng Yun and said only one sentence.

Zheng Yun immediately understood and nodded. The iron sign Ji Dao mentioned should be the iron sign that controls the ghost figurines. It seems that this incense burner is also an instrument related to the methods of gods and ghosts.

It is not surprising to find magical objects here. With such a huge capital, no matter how clean the sea guards are, there will inevitably be a few missing items in the corners.

"Is this thing very important?" Zheng Yun asked.

"Where did it come from?" Zhai Mo said at the same time.

"Uh, um..." Ji Dao looked at Zheng Yun with a grimace. Wanting to convey effective information on this occasion without arousing Zhai Mo's suspicion required very sophisticated thinking.

"Is it an ominous thing? Poisonous or what?" Zheng Yun asked while giving hints.

"It's poisonous. If this thing is placed here, it will naturally evaporate its toxicity. If you smoke it too much, someone will get into trouble."

Ji Dao covered his mouth and nose and nodded.

The others subconsciously took two steps back and followed Ji Dao's example and covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves to avoid inhaling some kind of 'poisonous gas'.

"It's also poisonous?" Zhai Mo was stunned for a moment.

The appearance of this incense burner is unremarkable, and the Cultural Relics Bureau's research focus is not on it. Basically, since it took over the mansion, not many people will take a second look at it.

However, this object was placed near the commander's residence. If not, it would have been stored in the debris area.

"It's best to store it in an airtight container. Master Yun, give Xu Yu a call. We can buy this thing with money, and it's totally fine to exchange it for something."

Ji Dao proposed to Zheng Yun.

Judging from his posture, this incense burner should be extremely crucial. The ghosts behind it are at worst the level of ghost figurines, and Ji Dao also knows where it comes from.

If they can get it from the Cultural Relics Bureau, they can get it for free without any risk or pressure.

"Okay, keep reading."

Zheng Yun took out his mobile phone with a sigh. He believed in Ji Dao's judgment. Since he said so, he had to take it no matter what. It would depend on what price Mr. Xu offered.

"Wait a minute, I'll speed up and scan around to see if there are any others. Let's pack a bag together."

Ji Dao suddenly smiled and walked away from Zheng Yun in three or two steps, carefully observing other objects.

He is the heir of Tiangong and has the right to dispose of all the antiques in Tiangong. When it comes to exchanging objects, he definitely has the confidence to offer a bargaining chip that the museum cannot refuse.

This is the Dusi Ruins Museum.

Jianghe Pawn Shop is also a museum.

Between the two museums, it is completely possible to exchange objects for objects and exchange some precious cultural relics for ‘exhibition’ respectively.

Zheng Yun has a different view.

Mr. Xu may not be able to exchange cultural relics. The price he demands is likely to be something else.

"It's hard to make phone calls."

Zhai Mo's expression changed slightly and he said something.

He has been guessing about the identities of Zheng Yun and Jidao, but no matter how far he thinks, they are at most the disciples or descendants of a certain master in a certain profession.

As a result, Jidao called Xu Yu by his first name and asked for things in exchange, which sounded a bit disrespectful to his senior.

"Then text."

Zheng Yun slowly followed Ji Dao.

No matter how many things Ji Dao finds today, as long as he wants to take it away, he must find a way to take it away. Even if the price is high, their contemporary Supervisor Immortal Division can afford it.

But Ji Dao seemed to have been holding back for a long time. In just two rows of shelves, he listed three cultural relics in succession, all of which were must-haves. He also wanted to bring some lucky cloud pattern utensils.

"Give you a cart?"

Zhai Mo joked.

Ji Dao looks like he is buying something in a supermarket, but is this the storage room of the Cultural Relics Bureau what you want? Can Mr. Xu easily agree to you taking away the cultural relics?

This is a museum.

Not the vegetable market downstairs in your home.
