Yuanxiao pushed me from behind, "Brother Ran, let's push the door open and take a look."

"Your uncle's Lantern Festival, you want to open the door, why are you pushing me? You can go by yourself!"

"I was scared just now, and before I could recover, you can push me first and then, what if there is another scary thing inside!"

"I don't go, I'm not curious, whoever is curious will go!" In fact, I knew in my heart that it would be meaningless to scare people when I got here. If there was a scheming mechanism, the secret passage more than 20 meters ahead should have appeared. So I speculated that this door should be safe.

While we were having a fight, Kong Xue suddenly said, "If you want to enter, you're a man!"

At this time, Yuanxiao and I unified the front line and said in unison: "Why don't you go!"

"I am a woman. If I rush in front, where will your face be put?" Kong Xue looked at me and Lanxiao with her hands in her arms.

Just as Yuanxiao was about to speak, he heard the iron door behind him creaking and Lanxiao shrank his neck. We turned around and saw that it was Shi Tao. He had carefully pushed the door open, checked for a while, and signaled that we were safe inside.

Yuanxiao looked at it and pushed open the iron gate, "Brother Tao, you are so good!"

We walked into the secret room. The space inside was not large, but there were quite a lot of things. Around the inside of the house was a circle of shelves filled with various antiques, jade and famous calligraphy and paintings. Although I don’t understand, it was a fine one at a glance.

Yuanxiao was considered an expert in this field, and was stunned, "I'll go! There are so many good things in your house! Can you give me two?" Yuanxiao said, looking around, and taking them down from time to time to play with them.

Kong Xue snatched it from Lanxiao and put it back on the original position, "Don't move around, I'll put you here if you break it! I said if you have anything else in your mind except for the underworld. I tell you, if you can help me find my father this time, don't say you have two pieces, and you can give you two pieces, but if you can't find them, don't want anything!"

"This is what you said! A gentleman... no, a woman's word is as good as a horse!" When Lantern Festival heard that there was a big advantage, she immediately became excited and shouted at me: "Brother Ran, Brother Tao, you can testify!"

Shi Tao smiled and did not make a sound, but at this time I was firmly attracted by something on the shelf in the middle of the room.

The shape of this thing is actually a bit strange. It is a bronze statue. The content of the statue is a horse stepping on the head of a snake. There is a swallow-shaped crown on the head of the snake, and one of the horse's hooves is stepping on the snake's crown. Why is this statue so familiar? It seems that it has been seen somewhere! After looking at it for a long time, I suddenly realized. I stretched out one hand flat, blocking part of the view, and only exposed the snake crown and bronze horse. Damn! This shape is a horse stepping on a flying swallow!

But the real horse-treading flying swallow is now hidden in the Gansu Museum! What is this thing? Is it a craft that is imagined based on horse-treading flying swallow?

Seeing that I was ecstatic, Yuanxiao asked, "Brother Ran, why are you doing this?"

Kong Xue next to him also came over to see this. Seeing my expression, he spoke, "How is it? Doesn't it look familiar?"

I nodded, "The half above is obviously a national treasure-level cultural relic, horse-trapping flying swallow! Is this a handicraft for horse-trapping flying swallow?"

"No!" Kong Xue shook her head. The next words below Kong Xue were shocked! Kong Xue said slowly: "This is the prototype of the horse-treading flying swallow, and the museum is a copy!"

"What!" I was stunned. "How is this possible? If it were a copy, it would have been seen long ago. The cultural relics experts at the Palace Museum are not vegetarians!"

Kong Xue walked over slowly and gently touched the piece... This piece... Well, I later learned that they called it: Horse Stepping on the Snake, what a straightforward name! Kong Xue's eyes showed a nostalgic expression, "The first time I saw this thing was when I was only a few years old. Because it was very strange, I had a deep impression. At that time, my mother was still alive. My father had just got this thing and showed it to me and my mother excitedly. Our family was so happy at that time." Speaking of this, Kong Xue's eyes turned red. I wanted to comfort her, but the style changed too quickly, and she suddenly changed from a horror movie to a family emotional drama. I didn't turn around for a while and didn't know what to say.

Kong Xue continued, "But I remember that day, as we watched, my father seemed to see something, and suddenly became a little nervous and hurriedly put away the thing. I have never seen this thing again since then, and I didn't expect to see it again today."

"Well, you just said this is a prototype, and what's wrong with the museum?" I couldn't let go of my doubts and asked again.

Shi Tao next to me said, "In fact, imitations are divided into ancient imitations and modern imitations. Needless to mention modern imitations, they are fakes and are worthless. But ancient imitations are different. The horse-trapping flying swallow in the museum is from the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is more than 1,800 years old. There is no problem with this, so you can't say it is fake, but this horse-trapping snake was found in the tomb of the early Western Han Dynasty. And its earliest record appears in a silk book of the Qin Dynasty."

"You mean, someone imitated part of this Western Han horse-trapping snake for some reason during the Eastern Han Dynasty? But how did you know that it was from the Western Han tomb?" I still had a little doubt.

Shi Tao smiled mysteriously, "Because I was in that ancient tomb at that time!"

"I'll go!" I took two steps back and thought to myself, I just found out that they were not only antique merchants, but also tomb robbers. I have to wonder if I dare to call the police! But I thought again, no! I know their identities, will they silence me!

As if seeing my thoughts, Shi Tao patted my shoulder and said, "You are Mr. Tang's friend and have helped us so much. We won't treat you as an outsider, so many things will not be hidden from you. I think you are a reliable person! Right?"

Damn! I didn't know that the water was so deep before I came! Your uncle's Lantern Festival! I turned to look at Lantern Festival, but I knew that this kid was still focusing on studying the horse-stepped snake. He didn't hear the conversation between me and Shi Tao at all.

At this time, my mind was like lightning and I thought about countless things, but gradually I figured out the current situation. I am now in the same group of tomb robbers. They have accepted me. I am now a member of the tomb robbers! This... This is really... it's really cool!! I feel like I've fallen into the plot of the movie. My curiosity about the mystery and unknown, and my desire for thrilling have already gained the upper hand of my rationality. I'm gradually excited about the current situation! I even learned the plot in the movie and turned around and hugged Shi Tao's shoulder: "Brother Tao, we are our own people now, aren't we?" Shi Tao laughed and patted my shoulder again.

I am now considered a person on the Tao. I suddenly remembered Lanxiao. This kid pretended to be innocent all the way. Could he have known this situation for a long time and even participated in tomb robbing? I turned to look at Lanxiao and found that the kid was still staring at the horse and snake stepping on it.

I thought to myself, what? You two fell in love at first sight? So I went up to take a photo of Lantern Festival, "Why are you stunned!"

Yuanxiao was startled by my slap, and suddenly came to her senses. She looked at me calmly, pointed to the snake under the feet of the bronze horse, "Why do I think I have seen these eyes?"
