Thanks to the Yuan Rong Sword incident before, Xu Shenxing had a good understanding of the terrain in the exhibition hall, so he wouldn't be blinded by a smear of eyes.
If he remembers correctly, the two items that have been stolen are a fist-sized pottery bowl that is claimed to be an antique from the Yuan Dynasty but whose age is actually unknown, and a small bronze tripod that should be from the Warring States Period.
The former is said to be something that flowed out from the tomb robbers in Xiaxi 20 years ago. Various methods were used to determine its age. In the end, the local research institute simply handed it over to the exhibition to prevent it from occupying research resources. Responsible—after all, there are quite a lot of ancient tombs in Xiaxi, and you might be able to pick up some antiques if you just walk a few steps in the wild. The local archaeological research institute has long been full of all kinds of messy things waiting to be studied...
The latter used to be a thing handed down from ancient times in a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Xianyang City. Later, when the Taoist temple was broken, the Taoist temple was smashed, and the things inside were burned, smashed, smashed, and robbed. When it came to the folks, it was donated to the country because the original party felt sorry and couldn't find the Taoist inheritance.
Since there is no professional appraisal certificate, the valuations of the two are not high. They belong to the kind of things that "have a certain historical value" but are actually worthless. It wouldn't cause such a big commotion if it was lost.
But you can't just look at the surface. According to Qin Xingyan who has seen the photos of the two stolen items, although she can't recognize the former is the small pottery bowl, the small bronze tripod, which is not as big as a washbasin, is a real Taoist relic. .
Many of the above things that seem to be just patterns are actually the words used for encryption in the Daoist Tibetan tradition. According to the description, it should be the treasure that the Taoist temple originally used to store the elixir.
But since it will be smashed by some mortals, it means that the orthodoxy of that Taoist temple is likely to have been lost long ago.
And then there is the last one, the thing that was foretold to come to pick it up today.
It was a mahogany carving, about 20 centimeters high, holding the statue of Yuan Shitian holding the three treasures and jade Ruyi.
This thing is also not an antique. It is said that it was just a casual work entrusted by a Taoist temple by a well-known sculptor during the Republic of China. space, but it can be collected and viewed”, very euphemistically pointing out that this thing cannot be sold for money.
Xu Shenxing sat cross-legged under the showcase, staring at the statue.
After becoming a cat, although his strength has been limited to a certain extent because he is not used to this body (even the protection of the ten thousand races who can understand the language has disappeared), but the relative senses are also much sharper.
But even so, he still couldn't perceive what was so special about this thing.
Could it be that the thief really had no other purpose, but simply wanted to make big news
... In this world, there shouldn't be such a funny comparison, right
Xu Shenxing wagged his tail uncertainly, thinking hard.
Then he got up lightly, and like a real cat, he nimbly walked around the booth, avoiding the police's arrest from behind.
Next, let's take a look at the two pavilions that were stolen.
"It's running there!" "Catch it quickly... no, it will slip away!" "The cat, the cat is drifting!" "This is it! The legendary whirlwind charge tornado!" "Hurry up, are all Jiang Jin's cats monsters!" Amidst the commotion, Xu Shenxing happily made a decision, and easily got rid of the policemen, and came to the exhibition hall where the clay pot was placed before.
There is still no aura of magic or supernatural power in this pavilion, but considering that the theft happened two days ago, the faint aura may have disappeared long ago.
"Meow (um, wait a minute)..."
Just when Xu Shenxing was about to leave, because of the intuition of a cat, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
So he carefully walked around the exhibition hall, which was too huge for his current body, looking for the source of this sense of disobedience.
More than half an hour later, while avoiding the policemen who came to look for him, Xu Shenxing also gained something—in a corner of the exhibition hall, there was a small hole like a mouse hole.
If he hadn't become smaller now, it might be really difficult to find this cave.
Although the hole is not big, it can still fit the stolen pottery bowl—in other words, is it possible that the things were transported from here
Xu Shenxing thought about it for a while, and felt that it was useless to just think like this, so he just like a cat sharpening its claws, made the hole a little bigger, and then burrowed in by himself, slowly moving forward while digging up the soil to expand the hole.
Fortunately, after passing through the entrance of the cave, the tunnel in the cave is quite spacious, otherwise Xu Shenxing would probably have to get stuck in it... At that time, if he wanted to get out, he would have to make a lot of noise.
After drilling inside for a while, the front suddenly opened up.
It was only then that Xu Shenxing noticed that he seemed to have got under the museum.
Because it is located on the outskirts of the city, the exhibition hall did not spend money to dig an underground garage, but circled a piece of land in front as a parking lot, which also means that there is nothing under the museum.
"Meow (I went big)..."
However, what was displayed in front of Xu Shenxing was a space about the size of an indoor basketball court, maybe a little shorter. In the center there was a not too big village. The houses in this village were only about the size of a microwave oven. , the residents inside are humanoid creatures similar in size to mice.
Because they are hardly exposed to sunlight, their skins are pale, and their faces are somewhat similar to a race called "goblins" that Xu Shenxing has encountered in other worlds before, but compared to goblins, these creatures are smaller. Apparently much smaller, and they both have a tumor-like organ on their foreheads.
It is worth mentioning that the light sources of this underground village are only crystal clear glowing mushrooms that do not know how to cultivate, and the fields "cultivated" by these humanoid creatures are only mushrooms or fungus of various colors.
From the fact that their functions are similar to clothes, but they are actually made of fungi, it can also be seen that the technological points of these little things seem to be invested in the cultivation of fungi.
Because the scene in front of him was so unbelievable, even Xu Shenxing was stunned for a while before realizing what was going on - a population of supernatural creatures who didn't know what it was, was actually right under his nose, mysteriously. Unknowingly settled in Jiangjin
