Chapter 103

With this old newspaper, Young Master Zhao immediately started showing off.

Without thinking, he forwarded the content of the old newspaper to his Weibo.

Young Master Zhao had high popularity across the entire internet; both those interested in archaeology and those who weren't knew him.

No other reason, he was just too high-profile!

Young Master Zhao's family was both an emerging tomb-raiding capital and a family of immense wealth.

Naturally, they would receive a lot of attention from the outside world.

And Young Master Zhao himself liked to comment on various things online.

So he had many Weibo followers!

As soon as this Weibo post about the old newspaper was published, it immediately attracted attention from the entire internet.

Many people hadn't come to listen to the storytelling and didn't know what he meant by posting this Weibo.

The gossiping crowd had no choice but to search all over the internet.

Until someone posted the content of Zhang Lin's first half of the storytelling online.

This finally let the whole internet know that the old newspaper Young Master Zhao posted corresponded to the old news about Chen Pi Ah Si of the Laojiu Sect that Zhang Lin was talking about!

In this instant, many people who had previously thought Zhang Lin's storytelling was just fiction were also shocked!

Because this old newspaper from decades ago had a verifiable basis.

At that time, it had already been decades since the founding of the country, and such archives were also preserved locally!

For a time, because of Young Master Zhao's influence, the content of the old newspaper was frantically forwarded.

Causing the local Cultural Relics Bureau in Guangxi to have to come out and speak.

Confirming that the content in the newspaper was true!

Now, everyone was shocked and felt confused about it.

If Chen Pi Ah Si really succeeded in stealing the treasure, why would the official authorities issue such news?

Could it be that something unexpected happened behind the whole treasure-stealing incident?

Most crucially, the statement issued by the Guangxi Cultural Relics Bureau also mentioned an unimaginable thing.

That was the existence of the Eight Treasures Layered Casket dug out from the Buddhist pagoda's underground palace.

But the cultural relics at that time had been lost due to the chaotic situation later!

This caused the entire internet to explode.

Such an important national treasure could still be lost?

Now, not only were the netizens not having it, but even the National Cultural Relics Bureau and the Archaeological Institute started to pay attention to this matter.

It was really because of the combination of Zhang Lin's storytelling and the old newspaper.

Making Chen Pi Ah Si and the Laojiu Sect more and more known to the public!

Netizens were very interested in the ancient tombs that the Laojiu Sect had once excavated and the places they had been!

At this moment, hearing that Chen Pi Ah Si hadn't stolen the national treasure-level artifact back then, but the Cultural Relics Bureau had lost it.

Who could stand this?

With no other choice, the authorities also started to initiate investigation procedures.

Mainly looking for the Eight Treasures Layered Casket and the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish inside!

At this moment, Yin Nanfeng, who was listening to the story on the second floor of Sanqing Garden, frowned.

While looking at her phone, she felt that the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish in the picture looked familiar.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Yueshan immediately asked, "What's wrong, have you seen this Snake-Eyed Copper Fish?"

Yin Nanfeng shook her head and then said, "I'm not quite sure."

"This thing is very similar to an auction item at the Crescent Hotel recently; I need to check the catalog."

As Yin Nanfeng said this, she flipped through the catalog for the latest Crescent Hotel auction on her phone.

A large part of the reason why the Crescent Hotel could accumulate huge wealth and remain prosperous was because it was a place for antique shipments.

The items auctioned were all antiques of great value.

And they were absolutely confidential to the sellers; they wouldn't reveal the seller's identity to anyone!

This made the Crescent Hotel very famous in the industry, and many people would choose to ship their goods here.

Zhang Yueshan said, "If it really is an auction item of the Crescent Hotel, then that's interesting."

"This thing has now been exposed by that idiot from the Zhao family and has become a national treasure."

"If the Crescent Hotel auctions it again, I'm afraid someone will investigate."

"When the time comes and they make you reveal the seller's identity, your Crescent Hotel's signboard will be smashed."

Hearing Zhang Yueshan gloating, Yin Nanfeng ignored him.

After flipping through it for a while, she frowned and said, "Sure enough, it's an auction item for the new session."

Zhang Yueshan also curiously took it and looked, discovering that the picture showed a very small copper fish.

On the fish's eyebrows were two small snakes, the fish scales were carved very exquisitely, but nothing else could be seen.

Zhang Yueshan said somewhat puzzled, "To be honest, I think there's a problem with this thing."

Yin Nanfeng was also used to seeing antiques, and she nodded, saying, "There is indeed a problem."

"According to common sense, the preciousness of this Snake-Eyed Copper Fish is not enough for it to be placed in the Eight Treasures Layered Casket."

"This Eight Treasures Layered Casket has always been for placing Buddhist treasures, usually Buddha bone relics, or at the very least, jade Buddha bones."

"Putting a copper fish inside is disrespectful to the Buddha, and also disrespectful to such a precious Eight Treasures Layered Casket!"

When Yin Nanfeng said this, she suddenly looked at Zhang Yueshan.

Zhang Yueshan also immediately reacted.

He said with some surprise, "Chen Pi Ah Si's feeling was right!"

"As soon as he entered the underground palace and saw that eerie Luo Han statue, he felt that someone had deliberately placed it there to scare him."

"This person not only anticipated that someone would enter the underground palace from here, but also anticipated his posture."

Yin Nanfeng couldn't help but sneer, "Then the person who moved the Luo Han statue really has good methods!"

"Not only did they take the things in the Eight Treasures Layered Casket before Chen Pi Ah Si, but they also replaced it with a Snake-Eyed Copper Fish."

"They also placed an Luo Han to scare him. Unfortunately, Chen Pi Ah Si was blinded by greed, sensed something was wrong, but didn't exit the underground palace."

Zhang Yueshan also felt it was somewhat incredible.

"Who on earth has this kind of ability? It certainly isn't someone from the Laojiu Sect!"

"Could it be one of the old guys from the Faqiu, Banshan, Xieling, or Mojin schools?"

Yin Nanfeng shook her head and then said, "I suspect there's a hidden story here; I'm afraid this Snake-Eyed Copper Fish isn't simple either."

"If there must be someone who can know the full picture of the matter, then I guess it's only this storyteller!"

"He knows the cause and effect of Chen Pi Ah Si stealing the treasure from the Mirror Palace clearly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes."

"Presumably, he also knows who replaced the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish."

Zhang Yueshan said, "Then will your Crescent Hotel still auction this copper fish?"
