Chapter 448

"OK! I want you not to leave this room within three days, not to tell the three sisters of the Ye family about it, and concentrate on looking for this mask."

"I promise you."

Their hands were held together. Tang Qi didn't expect to cooperate with Honggu.

Tang Qi went downstairs to say goodbye to Ye Yao. He saw a middle-aged man on the sofa, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. Needless to ask, it must be Lin Ping. He was indeed put back by Honggu, and fan Hu was no longer here.

Brother Liang hurried over and whispered, "master, fan Hu has just been killed. He was killed with a knife. We didn't have time to stop, so they dragged us out."

"As expected, he is of little value to both of us," Tang said.

Lin Ping was not hurt much, but his hair was a little messy and his face was haggard. When he saw Tang Qi coming down, he quickly grabbed him: "I heard you saw my daughter? How was she? Doesn't it matter?"

Tang Qi said, "don't worry, uncle. She's fine. Ye Yao, you and brother Liang send him back to meet Lin Yunshan."

"What about you?" Ye Yao asked hurriedly.

"I want to stay here and deal with some things," Tang Qi said with a smile.

Ye Yao's face changed greatly and looked upstairs: "is someone forcing you to do this?"

"Who can force me? I really have something to do. Don't worry, I won't have an accident. I'll go back in three days." Tang Qi sent them out: "just tell Mickey I have something wrong and I'll go back right away."

Ye Yao whispered, "I'll ask someone to save you..."

Tang Qi smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "I haven't been kidnapped by them. Why do you want to save me? Go!"

After sending them away, the door of the villa closed directly, and Tang Qi turned back.

Ye Yao was very worried. After reporting to the above, they took pictures of people and cars guarding around, but they didn't dare to go in and act rashly.

Tang Qi returned to the villa. Honggu had put on her sportswear and came down. She cleared all her men out and stayed in the room with him. Honggu's hand held a wooden box, which was full of professional testing equipment: "although I used it many times, I still got nothing, but maybe you have a clue when you use it."

"Don't worry, I'll look at the things in here first." Tang Qi went to the front of the masks and touched them with his hand.

When his mind was neutral, there was a hint: Gangsi cyan jade, 1800 years ago, worth 4 million.

Tang Qi blurted out: "what is Gangsi cyan jade?" although Tang Qi has read a lot, he is still not very comprehensive about those jades abroad.

Red Gu looked at him in surprise: "you know so much about goods, even the jade in South America? It is a kind of jade growing at the bottom of the South American desert. It is very hard and not afraid of fire. Even if it is still under the desert, there will be no cracks."

"Really, this jade is very valuable?"

"It's OK. It's just that people in South America don't like jade very much. They prefer magnificent things such as agate and gold, so they are not interested. Just in recent years, collectors have begun to buy these things. I don't know the origin of these masks. They were placed here when I bought the house."

Tang Qi said, "I'm worried that the relative will carry away the things in the room without permission."

"No, the man's relative is a straw bag. He thinks these are plastic products and doesn't care at all. What's more, he didn't return home in person. He just entrusted an intermediary to handle the formalities. But where would ordinary people think of what to put here?"

Tang Qi nodded, picked up all these masks with his hands, and then piled them up one by one. These masks were all the same size, so they were quickly fastened together. Moreover, because the jade basically has no color, the ten masks are the same as one, which can't be seen at all.

"What are you doing?" asked aunt Hong suspiciously.

Tang Qi said with a smile, "nothing. I think it's very interesting. You see, the ten together are only a few centimeters thick. The ancient people's skills are really exquisite."

Red Gu snorted: "I said, now there are only three days. If I don't find it quickly, I'll lose so much money. Are you still in the mood to play? Can you find it quickly?"

Tang Qi said with a smile, "don't be so utilitarian. It's a pity to miss all the beautiful scenery around you just for that valuable thing."

Aunt Hong glanced at him and said to her heart, I've seen these beautiful scenery for ten years. I've seen enough already. Can you seriously find something for me? But she really didn't want to keep urging, making herself like a greedy landlady.

Tang Qi took up the mask and aimed it at the chandelier. To his surprise, the jade mask aimed at the white light. What he reflected was a color as red as blood, which made him dare not look directly at it. He quickly removed his eyes.

What's the matter? Is there a problem with the jade or the light?

He asked aunt Hong, "I want to know which of the things here are the original and which you added later?"

At this time, red aunt pointed to the wall and said, "only one lamp on it broke down. I installed it again, and I haven't moved everything else. What, did you find anything?"

Tang Qi thought about it, then pointed the mask at the lamp and found that the color was still blood red. It seemed that it was not the problem of the light, but the jade itself reflected red, and the man chose too many red parts. It makes people feel very depressed and uncomfortable.

Honggu's phone rang at this time. When she saw the caller ID, she took the phone out and greeted Tang Qi.

"I have something to deal with. Find it here and call me if you need anything. My men are outside. Don't use any tricks."

Tang Qi said with a smile, "don't worry, even if I'm smart, I can't hide my 30kg mask in my clothes and take it out."

"Yes. And it's impossible. You found the mask when I left for a few hours." she said and went out.

Tang Qi stood alone in the empty hall, holding those masks in his hand, and began to frown and think deeply.

Is there any connection between these masks and the mask you are looking for? But now I don't know anything about the history of that South American country. It's really boring!

He would like to ask Qian Lao, but now he doesn't have a cell phone in his hand. It's not likely that he will know if he asks.

"Yes! This man is a geographer. He won't leave any books or logs?" Tang Qi hurried upstairs. And his every move is monitored through the camera in the room.

Honggu's men are responsible for telling Tang Qi every move in case Tang Qi finds anything and doesn't tell her.

Tang Qi went up the steps and entered the room on the second floor. He stopped in front of a bookcase on the east side. The bookcase was more than two meters high. The whole wall was a bookcase, and the books inside were as vast as a sea. There are numerous books on geography and history. Don scanned his eyes. In fact, all the people of Honggu have read these books. So there is no dust on it.

According to the classification, Tang Qi found books in South America. Tang Qi took out all the books inside and threw them on the sofa. One by one, he began to read them. The content is very boring. It's all about some history and culture. Tang Qi was not interested in these when he was at school. He yawned when he looked at them.

"If only Mickey were here, she took the best notes, and she would tell me anything she didn't understand."

Tang Qi fell there and looked at it vaguely.

The man who watched him also yawned. One said, "this boy looks like this all night? I can't stand it."

"I'll sleep first. Tell me when he moves."

Tang Qi looked at these books and became more and more sleepy. Just when he fell asleep, suddenly a picture attracted his attention. It was those masks!

Tang Qi carefully looked at the following introduction. It turned out that the ten thin paper masks were a kind of sacrifice. When the king was buried, the high priest took out hundreds of such masks in advance and burned them with fire, then threw them into the blood and soaked them for 77, 79 and 49 days. He chose to stay with the king without changing color. So that he can absorb blood and gas and get eternal life.

Tang Qi's heart moved. No wonder I used my mask to irradiate the light. What appeared was red. It turned out that it was infiltrated blood.

He continued to look down, and then finally found the clue of the gold mask. Obviously, it has been seen many times, and many words have been marked with a marker. I don't know whether it was the record made by Honggu or the previous traveler.

"The gold mask is made of 33 kilograms of pure gold. It covers the king's body. The inner layer needs to be soaked in the venom of snakes, scorpions and insects for 49 days to prevent the body from rotting. Shit! It's disgusting. The king is unlucky enough."

Next, I talked about the funeral history of these people, and then said that these gold masks are extremely easy to deform, so we should be extra careful when carrying them. Others are some other traditional customs, and this mask is no longer mentioned.

Tang Qi smiled: "more than 30 kilograms of gold will break easily? It's really interesting. How can it be?"

Suddenly he sat up. What if these gold masks, like those made of jade, look like one on the surface, but are actually made of many layers of paper masks?

In this way, the mask may easily hide here. So where are these masks hidden? Tang Qi threw the book aside and looked at the picture in front of him.

The name of this painting is called heavenly punishment. It tells about a knight who pretended to betray for his own country, and then defeated another country as an insider. However, because he wanted to express his heartfelt feelings, he killed many companions, so he felt sorry for his hometown and the king and killed himself.

At first, Tang Qi only thought that the composition of the painting was very gloomy, but at this time, he thought that the color of blood in the painting was too real. He got off the sofa and walked to the picture.

All the people on the monitor looked at him warily: "what does this boy want?"

"Who knows, do you want to tell Aunt Hong?"

They saw Tang Qi take out a lighter to light it, then burn it on the painting, and then quickly turn off the lighter. Then Tang Qi turned back and smiled and waved his hand at the position of the camera.

"Hard work, I just think it's fun."

They were so nervous that he had found us!

Then when he saw Tang Qi, he went back to the sofa and began to sleep, completely ignoring them.
