    If he had a choice, Shi Shaoying would definitely turn around without hesitation at this time, lead everyone to leave this strange island immediately, and never come back.

    Teacher Shaoying suddenly shouted: "Squint, come here!"

    Cross Eyes trotted over with his body leaning forward at 45 degrees. When Cross Eyes jumped over a wooden stake, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a person was running at high speed and was severely tripped by a dog chewing mud, but Cross Eyes  After landing on the ground, he continued to run forward without hesitation. This scene, which was close to "ruining three views", looked indescribably weird.

    Teacher Shaoying's pupils suddenly shrank slightly, because he noticed that with so many people in the team, after entering the "inclined layer" of the island, Squint Eyes, who had always been a drag among them, seemed to be least affected.

    Teacher Shaoying handed the rifle fragments to Xianyan, and then pointed to the corpse at his feet, "You are an expert in counterfeiting. I need you to use your professional eyes to analyze these fakes and find their flaws!"

    Squinting, he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and carefully observed the rifle in his hand, "This is a perfect fake."

    Shi Shaoying blinked his eyes, still contemplating the meaning of this sentence. He turned his attention to the corpse with his squinting eyes. He reached out to pick up the corpse, opened the chin of the corpse with his squinting eyes, and forced out the two rows of teeth.  He pulled out a gold tooth, wiped it on his clothes twice, and put the gold tooth into his pocket with a sideways glance.  This ability to scrape away three-dimensional grass wherever it goes makes everyone around him twitch.  With squinting eyes but a calm expression, he reported: "This fake is even more perfect."

    Squint took out the bayonet hanging from the corpse's waist, used a small brush to gently sweep away the rust on the blade, found three ring-shaped marks on the blade, and then used his fingers to test the current hardness and sharpness of the blade, Squint  He began to sigh softly: "This is a fake copy of the Type 30 bayonet from the Nagoya Arsenal in Japan. The master who made this fake, no, the great master who made this fake, fully considered that the cowhide scabbard has a certain effect on the blade.  For protection, the degree of oxidation of the blade and handle has been partially adjusted. Even Japanese soldiers who had received the most rigorous assassination training and even practiced hard with trees on a small island in the Pacific did not repair it, so the tip of the blade was more worn than other parts.  High. All these details have been taken into consideration and carefully adjusted. This is a piece of work made by the world's top counterfeiting masters who spent countless efforts. It is a super fake that is infinitely close to reality."

    At this moment, Shi Shaoying had the urge to scold his mother.  No big master in the world of counterfeiting would be so bored as to frighten people with corpses from decades ago. The squinting of his eyes was clearly a mockery of Shi Shaoying's "proposal composition".

    He threw the bayonet back to the ground with a squinting eye, wiped the rust off his hands, and looked back at Pei Tongtong and Shi Shaoying.  Suddenly he said: "Both captains, are you willing to listen to some nonsense from me, a dealer in counterfeit cultural relics?"

    Teacher Shaoying nodded. At this time, Squint Eyes still had enough confidence and courage to make fun of Master Shaoying. It must be some kind of confidence.

    "If you want to be in the antique world, you can't survive just by relying on high-level counterfeiting skills. Even if you can make fakes to the highest level, you can only produce fakes but not real ones. In the end, you can only be a miserable craftsman. And those who burn  There is no difference between the craftsmen who make clay figures from clay pots. Therefore, if you want to prosper in this industry, you must have channels to obtain some genuine treasures, so that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, so that those who claim to be experts can, even if they know clearly,  There is a possibility of being cheated, but the banknotes will still be paid. Buy the goods from me."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????? Talking about the industry that he is best at, although no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the five things, four things, and three things you love.  But his eyes were shining, his expression and his attitude.  Shi Shaoying couldn't help but think of the March 8th Red Flag Bearers standing on the podium: "In addition to cheating, I am also a genuine 'Golden Colonel'! My favorite thing to do is to find a tomb,  I will first remove 80% of the burial objects inside, and then put the fakes I made to fill the gaps. After forty-eight months, I will visit the tomb again, remove all the cultural relics inside, including the fakes I put in, and then move them out.  Eighty percent of the time, those fakes were carefully crafted by me, and after being left in the tomb for two more years, they became stained with the 'grave aura', making it even more difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake, and they even look more real than the real thing."

    Shi Shaoying can understand the act of placing counterfeits into the tomb with a squinted eye to let the counterfeit have some "grave aura". This behavior is probably similar to the counterfeiters of cultural relics who bury the counterfeit near the pit to increase some kind of oxidation reaction of the counterfeit.  It's the same thing, but it's more advanced, and it's even more obscene. But what Shi Shaoying can't understand is why Squint, who doesn't forget to pull out someone's gold teeth and take them away when he finds a corpse, comes back for the second time.  After the tomb, 20% of the burial items will be politely left behind.  Even if most of the 20% of burial objects are fakes made by Squint, this behavior is too strange."Going to the tomb to touch for gold is against nature, and it will damage your life, and even harm your moral integrity. Therefore, a real captain who touches gold will always leave something for the owner of the tomb. This is how to leave something behind as a human being.  There is a thread. If after I leave, new tomb robbers come and empty out the remaining things, it will transfer the resentment of the tomb owner and I can take the opportunity to escape. At the same time, it will also allow me to make fakes  It¡¯s even more difficult to distinguish between true and false.¡±

    Master Shaoying has learned a lot today. He squints at this master of forgery. He can even use numerology and even the resentment of the "grave owner" and the way of heaven to move the disaster eastward through fraud. This is really a damn expert in his profession.  Showed excellence.

    Teacher Shaoying blurted out and asked: "Have you ever encountered a zombie?"

    He squinted and shook his head, "Captain Mo Jin has many ancestral methods to deal with zombies. Even if there are really zombies, I have been mentally prepared for it. I even look forward to meeting zombies. If there is such a thing, I can catch one and use it."  I was tied to death with ink pipes and brought back, and sold to national scientific research institutions, so that they could study how to make humans immortal like zombies. I would immediately get a large bonus, and maybe I could even leave my name in history. Unfortunately, I did this for nearly ten years.  I touched the Golden Captain in the year, but I didn¡¯t see a single zombie, which was a waste of the two Tianshi Talismans I received from the antique market.¡±

    He picked up a necklace from his neck with squinting eyes. Under the thick necklace, there was a small oblate metal box hanging. He opened the metal box and said, "Boss, instructor, look at the exorcism charm that Zhang Tianshi drew by himself. I  I asked a friend to bring back holy water from the Vatican, a pocket version of the peach wood sword. Plus the most murderous pre-Qin corpse-killing money!"

    He raised his left hand with squinting eyes and wore a colorful bracelet on his left wrist: "A bracelet made of tortoiseshell with four cat's eye stones strung in the middle. It can drive away all evil things, especially those who are good at resisting poison.  No poison can spread."

    He squinted and lifted up the trousers of his right foot, which was at his right ankle.  Tied with a string of red stone beads: "Dzi beads, also known as nine-eye stone shale, are regarded by Tibetans as a gift from the gods and can break all curses."

    Teacher Shaoying sincerely gave a thumbs up to the squinting eyes, wanting to catch a zombie and leave his name in history.  He has become a landmark figure in mankind's victory over death, and his squinting nerves are really extraordinary.  But what impressed Shi Shaoying even more was Squint's preparation to catch a zombie. If measured by the equipment of a professional soldier, Squint had already reached the standard of the US Navy SEALs in 2030.  It can be seen from this that the ancients often said that opportunities are prepared for those who are prepared. This statement does not deceive me.

    "As the saying goes, antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times. The more stable a country is, the more developed its economy is. The higher the value of antiques. In order to get rich overnight, I don't know how many people have joined the tomb robbing industry, coupled with the archaeological team equipped with professional instruments  There are fewer and fewer tombs that can be excavated. If you want to find huge wealth underground, you need to go into inaccessible mountains and rivers to excavate tombs that ordinary people dare not go to. Captain, you may think that I have so many evil-proof things,  It's just a guilty conscience. I just want some psychological comfort"

    At this point, Squint suddenly shuddered hard, with an expression of lingering fear on his face. He subconsciously reached out and caressed the bracelet made of tortoiseshell and opal on his wrist, "Seven years ago,  A group of masters and I took a treasure map and entered the mountains on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Tunxi section of the Xin'an River in Huangshan, Anhui. Thirty-six ancient grottoes have been discovered there. The structure of the caves inside the caves is unique and is known as the wonder of the ages.  The map in our hands marks the location of the thirty-seventh ancient grotto. According to our judgment, this grotto is probably a group of ancient tombs from the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the funerary objects inside are of great value.  Estimate.¡±

    Although they are now in danger, Shi Shaoying is still attracted by Xianyan's past adventure experience. Judging from Xianyan's expression, their adventure and treasure theft are destined not to end in comedy.

    "We really found the entrance to the thirty-seventh grotto based on the map that was scratched from the stone wall."

    The squinting body trembled slightly: "What we found was a huge underground grotto with a space of tens of thousands of square meters. The grotto was filled with water, forming an underground lake, and there was a small island in the middle of it.  . We spent another day preparing, and finally used two rafts to land on the small island covered with huge stone pillars. It only took a few minutes after we landed on the small island, when we turned back  , we couldn¡¯t find the rubber raft parked on the shore, and it wasn¡¯t until then that we discovered that the island was actually rotating!¡±

    The rotating island!

    Teacher Shaoying¡¯s eyes suddenly widened.

    "The water in the underground lake is very deep and freezing cold. None of us can guarantee that we can swim out alive. Later, someone suggested that no matter what the reason is, since the island will rotate, we will naturally be able to find it after it rotates for a week.  ?Raft, during this time, we can leave two people waiting in place, while the others go deep into the center of the island to find the tomb.  Those in our profession are all very brave people. Although we feel that this underground island is very evil, everyone still agreed to this suggestion.  As a result, a person nicknamed Xiaosi and I stayed behind to wait for the boat, while the other four people were responsible for going to the island to visit the tomb"

    At this point, Cross Eyes suddenly stopped narrating.

    Teacher Shaoying did not urge him, but just made a gesture to other team members to stay on alert.  Master Shaoying suddenly had a premonition that what he was going to say behind his squinting eyes would have some kind of connection, perhaps accidental or perhaps inevitable, with the island they set foot on.

    "Squint Eyes" will never forget what he saw on the island in the middle of the underground lake that day.

    Xianyan and Xiaosi watched the four companions pass through the stone pillars to explore the center of the island. After they walked forty or fifty meters, Xianyan suddenly saw the bodies of the companions leaning forward. Perhaps the darkness affected people's vision.  Judging from his judgment, this rotating island may have other secrets. He squinted and was dumbfounded to find that the four companions who walked into the island were unaware that they were leaning forward at 45 degrees.  way to move forward.

    He squinted and shouted subconsciously. Logically speaking, they were in a semi-enclosed underground state, not even fifty meters apart.  The people in front of him can definitely hear his shouts, but no matter how loud or hard he shouts, he will scream.  The companions in front were completely unaware, as if they were in two parallel spaces.

    With squinting eyes, he subconsciously jumped up and took a few steps, just when he wanted to catch up with his companions and tell them everything he saw.  He felt as if he had bumped head-on into something invisible that could produce a slight touch on his skin. It felt like standing in front of an old-fashioned TV and turning on the power, and the slight heat wave that hit his face.

    There was a sudden pain on Xianyan's right ankle that was at the forefront. Caught off guard, Xianyan fell to the ground.  When he struggled to open his pants and looked at his right foot under the flashlight, his squinting eyes were completely transfixed.

    It took Squint half a year and a huge price to find a way to buy the red dzi bead from a border resident who was in urgent need of money. At this time, it was like it was on fire, revealing the dark red color unique to coal burning.  The dark red color is not an appearance.  They seemed to actually burn.  The high temperature emanating from this string of dzi beads caused a string of blisters to appear on the squinting ankles, and even the smell of burning flesh could be heard in the air.

    "Snapped!"

    Before squinting could figure out what was going on, one of the cat's eye stones on the bracelet he wore on his left hand split into two halves.

    Faced with this abnormal phenomenon, Squint, who was always good at judging the situation, made the most direct reaction in an instant.  He rolled back and crawled back more than ten meters, watching the four companions helplessly.  With an absolutely weird way of leaning forward forty-five degrees, in the flash of flashlight.  Disappearing step by step into the depths of the island.

    A thought that made other people squint suddenly and naturally emerge from his mind: I'm afraid these people will never come out again.

    Squinting struggled to get up, and suddenly he saw Xiao Si, who had stayed with him waiting for the island to rotate once so that he could retrieve the rubber raft. He looked like a zombie, with dull eyes, moving step by step at a slow pace.  Move your body and walk towards the depths of the island.  As he walked, Xiao Si's throat made a gurgling sound, like a ghost crying, and he didn't even notice the drool flowing from the corner of his mouth.

    The squinting eyes cannot be described in words until now. At that time, all the hairs on his body stood up in fear, and the squinting eyes roared loudly: "Little Four!"

    Hearing the roar of the squinting eyes, Xiaosi stopped and turned around a little. Under the light of the searchlight worn on the head of the squinting eyes, Xiaosi's face kept twisting. He looked like he was doing a terrible and long,  There was no way he could struggle out of the dream. No matter how hard he tried, the pupils of his eyes still showed a frightening indifference.

    The fear of losing his last companion in such a weird environment made Xianyan rush up and hug Xiaosi, and then shook him hard.

    With the effort of squinting, Xiaosi finally regained a trace of consciousness in his eyes.  Xiaosi stared blankly at Xianyan, and murmured to himself: "Xianyan, have you heard this? This island is calling me to come in. Please leave quickly, this island is going to kill us"

    "Snapped!"

    In the bracelet worn by the squinting left hand, another cat's eye stone was broken.

    Looking at the bracelet with two cat's eye stones broken in succession, he suddenly understood with squinting eyes that the fact that he has not lost his mind and has not been cursed by the island must be related to the fact that he carries too many evil-proof objects on his body.  If he insists on not letting go, once all four opals on the bracelet are broken, maybe even he willLike Xiao Si, he became unconscious and walked step by step into the depths of the island like a wandering ghost, never to see the light of day again.

    The squinting hand finally let go. Before Xiaosi turned his head and walked towards the island again, tears suddenly gathered from his eyes. But before the tears flowed out of his eyes, Xiaosi's pupils completely lost the brilliance of the human soul.  .  He turned around mechanically, moved his steps mechanically, and stepped mechanically across the invisible but real boundary in front of him. His body slowly leaned forward, and then slowly walked away.

    With squinting eyes, he retreated step by step to the edge of the island. Even he himself didn¡¯t know how he spent the remaining few hours.

    When he finally saw the rubber raft moored quietly in the lake, he jumped on it desperately, grabbed the oar and rowed with all his strength. When he rowed dozens of meters away, perhaps it was a biological instinct.  Maybe it was the telepathy between each other, and he looked back subconsciously. On a small island in the distance, which might be a hillside, he saw a few flashing lights, which should be the ones they wore on their heads.  searchlight.

    One, two, three, four, five

    Five search lights were flashing in the darkness.

    Vaguely, vaguely, with a squinting glance, he seemed to see five companions who had walked into the center of the island, standing side by side, waving goodbye to him.  Each time their arms passed across their faces, blocking the headlight searchlight, the light flickered.

    Looking at the flickering lights, for some reason, Squint's frightened heart suddenly regained its composure. At that time, he had no companions around him, so no one told him, so he actually grinned and smiled.

    "Snapped!"

    ?????????????? Vaguely, it seemed like something was broken, but if it was broken, it was broken, what does it matter?

    "Hmmwhat is it? It's so hot?!"

    He lowered his head subconsciously with squinting eyes. The string of dzi beads under his feet once again emitted a dark red light. It was so hot that he almost cried in his arms. The bracelet on his left wrist originally had four cat's eye stones strung on it. At this time,  Three have been broken.

    Cross Eyes shook his head vigorously. When he finally gathered his concentration, regained his consciousness and used the searchlight above his head to see everything in front of him clearly, Cross Eyes suddenly froze

    ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but he paddled the rubber raft and turned to the island again. If the Dzi beads hadn¡¯t brought him back to his senses, he might have landed on the island again.
