"Mr. Hou, didn't you just let us choose randomly?"

At this time, Yu Feibai was still working hard: "This statue should not be a dangerous item such as a hand crossbow. You can't just keep your word."

"Do you really want a statue?" Mr. Hou was a little surprised and kindly advised: "This statue has no mechanism. You should think about it again to avoid regrets."

"I won't think about it anymore, I want this." Yu Feibai said firmly. Judging from his appearance, he looked like he would just grab it if Mr. Hou didn't agree.

"In that case, let's do whatever it takes." Mr. Hou shook his head, not quite understanding why Yu Feibai regarded garbage as a treasure.

"Thank you, Mr. Hou." When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately beamed with joy, smiled at Wang Guan, and quickly hugged the statue as if he was afraid that he would snatch it.

"What's going on?" At this moment, Yu Feibai felt something was wrong, mainly because when he touched it with his hand, the statue began to sway without using any force.

Yu Feibai was stunned, and quickly supported the statue, and then with a little force, he easily lifted the statue up. For a moment, he was dumbfounded: "The statue is too light."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. This statue is woven with rattan strips, and a layer of fine mud is applied on the surface." Mr. Hou explained with a smile: "You have to be careful, don't use too much force, otherwise the surface

The mud broke into pieces.”

"No."

Yu Feibai opened his eyes wide and howled in disbelief. Then he carefully lifted the statue higher, and suddenly found that the inside was hollow and there were fine dust scattered around.

"What the hell..." Seeing this, Yu Feibai was very frustrated. He put the statue down and turned back angrily: "Wang Guan, you cheated me again!"

"Who tricked you?"

Wang Guan couldn't laugh or cry and said, "I didn't say anything. It was you who didn't listen to Mr. Hou's advice and insisted on getting this statue."

"Who wants this statue? It's nothing."

For a moment, Yu Feibai denied it, and then said with a shy face: "Mr. Hou, I was joking just now, don't take it to heart. In fact, I have already decided that I want this thing."

While talking, Yu Feibai ran to the shelf again and brought something over. Seeing this, Wang Guan couldn't help but joked: "Feibai, have you gained weight recently?"

"roll!"

Yu Feibai glared, knowing that Wang Guan was laughing at him for breaking his promise and getting fat. But with his thick skin, he would never take the mere ridicule to heart.

"Ha ha……"

Mr. Hou was open-minded, so naturally he didn't care about Yu Feibai's regret. Instead, he reached out and took the thing he handed over. After taking a look at it, he couldn't help but praise: "I have good eyesight. I picked a good thing."

"Really." Yu Feibai was a little proud and said with a smile: "Tell me, Mr. Hou, what mechanism does this thing have?"

At this time, Wang Guan took advantage of the situation and saw that what Yu Feibai was looking at was a box. It was flat and rectangular, with the three words "Fu Lu Shou" carved on the surface and some decorative textures. Generally speaking, something

It looks very clumsy but also gives off a sense of refinement.

"This is a pen case..." Mr. Hou started to speak and noticed Yu Feibai's disappointed expression. He immediately smiled and said, "Listen to me first. This thing looks like a pen case on the surface, but actually it's inside

But it hides a secret."

While speaking, Mr. Hou didn't know what mechanism he pressed. The box clicked, and a very secret crack popped up on the side. However, there was a small storage space inside the box.

"This is something from the Qing Dynasty." Mr. Hou said with a smile: "It is a tool used by officials to give gifts to their superiors. On the surface, it is a row of brushes, but in fact, it contains banknotes in the dark layer."

"It's a good time to catch up."

Wang Guan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Fei Bai, I want this. I will use it specifically to hide my personal money when I get back."

"Nonsense, do I still need to hide my personal money?"

Yu Feibai squinted his eyes. Although he was still a little disappointed, he did not plan to update. After all, it was a joke to go back on his word once, and it would be a matter of character to change his mind again. Besides, this box is both made of good materials and workmanship, and it is

Things from the Qing Dynasty are not bad as collectibles, so I decided to get this one.

Yu Feibai selected the item, and after some weighing, Fang Mingsheng also felt that the seven-story pagoda was better, and wanted something that could turn the seven-story pagoda into a nine-story pagoda, or even a twelve-story pagoda.

"And you."

At the right time, Mr. Hou looked at Wang Guan and asked with a smile: "You haven't chosen something that suits your heart yet. Do you want me to help recommend it?"

"No."

Wang Guan waved his hand to refuse, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I want to ask Mr. Hou about something."

"Um?"

Mr. Hou was startled and asked curiously: "What's going on?"

"I want to know where this statue was dug." Wang Guan said softly: "This matter should not be considered a secret. If you can tell me, please give me some advice."

"It's so good. Why are you asking about this?"

At this time, not only Mr. Hou was surprised, but Yu Feibai and Fang Mingsheng were also very surprised.

"Well... of course I have a reason." Wang Guan avoided the important and said lightly: "Mr. Hou, can you tell me that place?"

"Although I don't know why you are asking about this, I can tell you the address." Mr. Hou pondered for a moment, but did not hide it. He told Wang Guan the detailed location, which made him extremely grateful.

There was not much to say next. After each had gained something, the three of them left directly. Then, with Mr. Hou's gift, they left the research institute briskly.

Of course, I just left the institute and did not leave Hanzhong.

At the same time, Yu Feibai got to the bottom of it and said, "It's inexplicable. Why are you asking about that place? Is there any special reason? It's time to tell me now."

"Being able to dig out statues from the Southern and Northern Dynasties shows that there are a lot of good things in that place. I plan to dig out the house." Wang Guan said with a smile: "This reason is enough."

"Really?" Yu Feibai blinked, seemingly believing it, and then said with great interest: "This is a good idea, count me in."

Wang Dian nodded, then turned around and asked: "Boss Fang, we plan to stay in Hanzhong for a few days, and maybe go to Xianyang and Chang'an to visit. Are you free?"

This can be considered a relatively tactful hint. Fang Mingsheng naturally understood it and immediately smiled and said: "That's really unfortunate. I have something to do and I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you around."

"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future..."

Everyone exchanged a few polite words, and Fang Mingsheng left with his entourage.

As for Wang Guan and Yu Feibai, they found a prosperous restaurant in the city, asked for a private room, ordered a lot of Hanzhong delicacies, and then wolfed down the food while chatting.

"Now that there are no outsiders, you can tell the truth."

At this time, Yu Feibai put a few pieces of Hanzhong rice noodles into his mouth and chewed them. The spicy, sweet and sour taste, and very smooth, made him feel very satisfied.

"What's the truth?" Wang Guan said vaguely, also eating hard.

"Don't be pretentious."

After taking a tissue to wipe away the hot sweat on his forehead, Yu Feibai said disdainfully: "With your little tricks, who else are you trying to hide? Ask Mr. Hou about the place. It's definitely not as simple as buying a house."

"In a remote country, what else can we do if we don't pay for a house?" Wang Guan asked rhetorically.

"This is what I want to ask." Yu Feibai pondered: "It feels like you have a clear purpose and are looking for something."

"Is it really that obvious?" Wang Guan blinked and said, "I concealed it pretty well."

"Did I guess correctly?" Yu Feibai said happily after hearing this: "Tell me quickly. What are you looking for? Did you find any clues on that statue?"

"My brain is quite flexible." Wang Guan smiled, nodded and admitted: "There are indeed some discoveries, but they are just my speculations. Whether they are true or not still needs to be verified."

"Don't be too pretentious. What kind of speculation is this?" Yu Feibai urged.

"Have you noticed?" Wang Guan reminded: "The broken sword on the statue looks a bit weird, and it feels similar to a famous sword in legend."

"Weird?" Yu Feibai frowned and thought hard. After a while, he shook his head blankly and said, "I just glanced at it casually and didn't pay attention to the broken sword. I don't know what's weird about it."

"Then what did you do so aggressively just now?" Wang Guan naturally took the opportunity to look down upon him.

"Hey, it's in the past, why bring it up? You should look forward as a human being..." Yu Feibai waved his hands lightly, and then asked: "You haven't said yet, what's so weird about the Broken Sword, and the name of the Broken Sword?"

The sword is similar."

Wang Guan slowly ate a piece of dough, and then whispered: "Chixiao!"

"...Really?"

Yu Feibai suddenly lost his composure. Surprised and surprised, he became very suspicious and said, "Don't fool me. Don't think that because this is Hanzhong, there must be a Red Sky Sword."

"I didn't say there must be." Wang Guan spread his hands and said, "I just said there might be."

"It turns out it's just luck." Yu Feibai was a little disappointed. While nodding in understanding, he was also a little confused and said: "You said that the broken sword in the statue resembles Chi Xiao, what's the basis for it?"

"Not to mention the hilt, it is inlaid with bead-like items, and the sword body is painted red." Wang Guan analyzed: "However, due to thousands of years of wind and rain, the color of the sword body has become very dim, but there is still a little bit of darkness left.

Red. In my impression, the only red sword seems to be Chi Xiao."

"It sounds a bit suspenseful, but it can barely be considered a clue."

While speaking, Yu Feibai said energetically: "But it doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, I can definitely turn the impossible into possible and successfully find the Scarlet Sky Sword."

Wang Guan was no longer surprised by Yu Feibai's inexplicable inflated self-confidence, and continued to taste Hanzhong's delicacies. The food was indeed delicious, but it was a bit spicy, which made him sweat and feel good.

Of course, this kind of spiciness can only be regarded as childish, and it is far from the level of a spicy dish.
