Time flew. Twenty years had passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for reform and opening up.

This was an era when the new Chinese economy was soaring. At this moment, antiques had already been sold at sky-high prices!

My grandfather suddenly became a millionaire and became quite famous in this circle because he had accumulated a large amount of bronze artifacts while collecting local goods in Shang Cai County.

However, my grandfather still continued to drink his wine everyday, drawing Azure Goat Tallow s. Sometimes, it gave me the feeling that he didn't even hug my grandson when he was born. According to a few relatives, even my father and mother were hospitalized, but my grandfather had never gone to see them.

That Azure Goat Tallow seemed to have some sort of magic that caused my grandfather to sink into it.

Once, my grandfather suddenly went crazy and drew Azure Goat Tallow s for two days in a row. After that, he pointed at that pile of paper and kept shouting at me, "I saw it, it's coming to find me."

Later, the doctor gave my grandfather two tranquilizers in a row to control his mood.

This kind of nervous day made my grandpa's already average body collapse very quickly. Sometimes, he would even have to take a few steps to catch his breath, and one time, it was even worse when he was drunk that he fell asleep and had a stroke. If it wasn't for me finding out in time, I'm afraid my life would have ended for Yama.

Since the stroke, my grandfather had become thinner and thinner, and he seemed to know that his days were numbered.

On January 10, 1999, he brought a stranger home. I found out later that the man was a lawyer, and then, in front of all his relatives, he handed over his five million yuan inheritance, his real estate certificate, his Warring States Tuoba and a bunch of Azure Goat Tallow that he had painted to the lawyer. He repeatedly told me that the Li Family's descendants would only be able to inherit his legacy if they found the Azure Goat Tallow.

I still underestimated my grandfather's obsession with the bronze Sheep's Dagger to the point of going crazy!

I will always remember that day when my relatives scolded me one by one, scolding my grandfather for being muddle-headed. In the end, they all left, and there wasn't even a single person who was in mourning. I was the only one who had brought my grandfather's body to be cremated.

Five million and all those properties added up to at least ten million, but I quickly forgot about it because I knew what I was worth and I had heard countless times about my grandfather's experiences in Shangzi County.

I know, I wouldn't spend it even if I had a life to take it.

Furthermore, at that time, although I didn't have much money, I was influenced by my grandfather. My knowledge of antiques was greater than many people. After my grandfather's death, I set up a gold stall at the Wuhan Changjiang River Bridge and earned a small sum of money.

Not long after, I received a piece of extremely exciting news from a friend. There was a group of newly-unearthed goods in the Qin Mountains. The seller was in a hurry to sell them for roughly three million yuan.

I carefully studied those photos and discovered that this time, they were actually a jade toad from the Western Han Dynasty. Although there were many jade artifacts from the Western Han Dynasty, they were still relatively rare. And what made me even crazier was that my friend also said that a businessman from Beijing wanted toads and was willing to pay a sky-high price of five million dollars for them.

This would bring in two million yuan in profits!

In the end, I clenched my teeth and borrowed the loan at a high interest rate of 2.5 million yuan.

I brought a few waiters to the Qinling Mountains and found the seller. Everything went smoothly and I spent more than 2 million to bring back that white jade toad.

I didn't realize I had made a mistake until I went back home and carefully examined it. It wasn't a Western Han Dynasty toad at all, it was just a top-grade forgery.

I've been f * * king tricked by my friend!

I was stunned for a long time before I reacted. The first thing I did after coming to my senses was to run.

I'm borrowing usury, so I can't afford to pay for it even if I sell myself. Furthermore, these usurers have some background in gangs and if I don't pay up, I'll be like a white knife in the red.

I quivered, and thought about getting some money, and then I would think about what to do after I paid off the first part.

I looked up the number. My relatives and friends still have a few big bucks, and if they want to give me a hand, that's for the best. However, when I heard that I was borrowing money, I just felt my hands and feet go cold, either to say that I was borrowing money or just hanging up the phone.

I've called almost everyone I know today, but I can't borrow a dime.

I was sitting in a chair in a daze, and my cell phone had been thrown to the side. At this point, I really didn't know who to look for.

Suddenly, a crisp ring startled me. I scrambled for my cell phone and turned it on hopefully.

"Lee Dingdang, why haven't you called the rent for this month?"

The voice on the phone made me lose all strength.

"Landlord, I'll call you in the next two days. The delivery money hasn't come out yet."

After hanging up, I subconsciously dialed a number. This guy could be considered as someone who grew up wearing the same pants as me, he's also in the antique business, but he's good at scams and deceit. His real name is Baihua, and because he weighs more than 200 pounds, I usually call him Fatty.

I said, "Fatty, I'm finished."

Listening to my story of being tricked, Fatty said: "Dingdang, my heart is stuck in a knot listening to you, but no matter how miserable your words are, I can't help you! Your father's mother is setting up a stall at Panjiayuan right now. If you ask for tens of thousands of dollars, I can take it out. "Even if I were to cut Master Fatty's body into pieces, I won't be able to afford it."

I snappily replied, "I was just asking someone to tell me how poor you are before I died. It's not like I don't know."

Fatty hesitated before saying to me, "Dingdang, didn't your grandfather leave behind a will? If you can find that thing in the will, the money will be paid off. "

My eyes suddenly lit up, as if I had caught on to a ray of hope.

If it wasn't Fatty who brought it up, I would have forgotten my grandpa's will. At this moment, I was so furious that I decided to throw caution to the wind. Even if he couldn't find it, he would still die.

"Fatty, come back immediately. I'm done here!"

I shouted and hung up.

Returning to the shop in a hurry, I took out a pen and paper and began to recall the information about the Azure Goat Tallow that my grandfather had dictated. Then, I recorded the information bit by bit on a piece of paper.

It was a bit vague now, but thankfully my grandfather had told me more than ten times back then, so I could still remember some of the key information.

The destination of our trip this time is Shang Cai County is not wrong, but the specific point, is still too unclear.

If it's just Fatty and me, before we get to the specific location, the whole county would be enough for us to find a place for ten days. Plus, it's not bad for the two of us to play antiques.

I had a slight headache. After writing out all the problems on the paper, I really decided to look for this bronze bottle. I found out that it was extremely difficult and couldn't be solved in a short period of time.

I opened the map and circled the area of Shang Cai County, then carefully recalled the words that my grandfather had said. But after thinking for a long time, it seemed that my grandfather hadn't specified which location in Shang Cai County it was found in the past.

Information!

What I need most right now is information about the tomb. The more the better.

After thinking about it, I finally decided to look for that lawyer to get to know each other. Grandpa gave him the paintings and the Warring States dungeon, so we can go back to make a copy of the Warring States dungeon to study for a while.

I called the lawyer from my will and told him I wanted to see my grandfather's will.

"Haha, you're finally enlightened. Come to my house quickly!"

A slightly aged voice came from the other side of the phone. I don't know if it was my imagination, but I kept feeling that the voice was trembling. It seemed that the person on the other side of the phone was very scared, but also very excited.

I took a seat at the lawyer's house. The middle-aged lawyer was already waiting for me at the door.

"Are you Dingdang? "I hugged you many times when I was young, but you probably don't remember me. You can just call me Uncle Ming." Uncle Ming smiled as he shook my hand.

Uncle Ming was wearing a pair of thick, black-framed glasses. He looked to be in his fifties. He was wearing a well-groomed suit and looked very kind.

I walked into the house with some restraint, but after coming here, I found it hard to say anything. After all, stealing a tomb now is a crime that involves the death of one's head, and I don't understand this person at all.

"I have a deep friendship with your grandfather, so I just need to follow the instructions written in the will and don't worry about anything else."

Uncle Ming seems to know what I'm thinking about, he suddenly opened his mouth and pointed to the documents on the table: These are the documents that your grandpa stored here, but they are all photocopies. The original copies are all stored in the bank's safe.

I sat down and browsed through the information. Uncle Ming stood silently on the side. The atmosphere was a little strange. I changed the topic and asked: "Uncle Ming, are you the only one in the house?"

"My wife died in childbirth." Uncle Ming was still smiling.

Looking at his smile, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine. Can I really trust this person? When I was speaking just now, I stared at Uncle Ming's face. I noticed that when he was speaking, his face didn't change at all. It was as if his wife died like a dog.

If such a person's emotions were not revealed on the surface, then he must be very shrewd.

"Sorry, Uncle Ming, I can't keep my mouth shut anymore." Seeing that Uncle Ming did not say anything, I focused my attention back on the information. The most important part of War Country's Ta Ta Wen was that before Qin Shi Huang died, he told Reese to seal a treasure inside the Azure Goat Tallow. After he died, he would be buried together with the rest!

I suddenly realised that I seemed to have missed something. My grandfather only talked about the treasures that were sealed within the Azure Goat Tallow, and what he was infatuated with seemed to be that mouth of the Azure Goat Tallow. This didn't seem to be logical.

I shook my head and asked Uncle Ming: "Uncle Ming, even if I can find the Azure Goat Tallow, how can you be sure that it's real?"

This question is just a test. I want a definite answer.

"If it's fake, you won't be able to inherit it."

Uncle Ming's answer was very simple.

I felt a little scared, so I put the documents in my bag and quickly got up to leave.

"If you're really interested in this will, you can look in your grandfather's old house."

Just as I was about to leave, Uncle Ming suddenly said behind me and slammed the door shut.

What was the relationship between Uncle Ming and his grandfather? His answer already stated that he understood Azure Goat Tallow very well, how could such a person be a lawyer?

And he said he had a deep friendship with his grandfather, so why didn't I ever hear my grandfather mention him?
