Chapter V Selling Ancient Scrolls

When I got home, it was already dark, so I took out the ancient scroll and looked at it carefully. It was an ancient scroll, and it didn’t mean it was ancient. Judging from the material of this ancient scroll, it was from the Qing Dynasty.

It seems to have been left by the owner of the tomb himself. I can still read some words written on it. They probably talk about the suicide of the owner of the tomb.

The owner of the tomb is named Chen Renhong. He was born in the late Ming Dynasty. Not long after, he passed through the Ming Dynasty. The dynasty changed and the Qing Dynasty was established. Gu was from the Qing Dynasty. Due to the Ming Dynasty, the family was impoverished. In the end, he was a tomb robber. Chen Renhong was also

He was a genius. He originally knew nothing about Feng Shui in ancient tombs. Later, he stole some Feng Shui knowledge through tomb robbing, studied it on his own, and finally became a famous tomb robber in the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Renhong discovered a secret while robbing tombs. In order to find the final answer, he robbed many tombs, just to find the Eight-Star Altar. The Eight-Star Altar mentioned above is actually eight jars. As for its use, it was not mentioned. He

After searching for a long time, he finally got the information and robbed King Wen's tomb in Qilin Mountain in Luoyang. He found one of the eight-star altars and a drawing. He followed the contents of the drawing and came here. When he got here, he discovered that because of the Ming Dynasty*

*A lot of changes have taken place, and it is impossible to search according to the drawings, so he lives here anonymously and slowly searches for it. Unfortunately, time does not wait for him. Perhaps due to frequent tomb robbing, his body is infected with diseases, and finally he builds a cemetery here with regret.

Bury the things stolen in his life and the Eight-Star Altar in the ancient tomb...

It seems that the tomb robber eventually contracted a disease and died. I also felt sorry for him. I didn't find the answer, and finally left with regret.

What is the Eight Star Altar? It's of no use to me, so I didn't pay much attention to this ancient scroll and casually put it into my grandfather's diary. I thought that bringing this ancient scroll was just a part of my daily life.

A small episode, but who knew it would bring me many adventures in tomb robbing journeys.

From then on, my life became boring again. I went to and from work every day, and was scolded by my superiors if I didn’t do well. During normal times, I would read my grandfather’s diary. After that incident, I believed a lot in what my grandfather wrote.

Out of curiosity, I studied more things recorded in my grandfather's diary.

The first half of Grandpa’s diary is about the identification of antiques, and the back part talks about some ancient tomb feng shui. I have already read the first half, but I haven’t seen many antiques, so I can’t say that I know how to do it. As for the second half,

At the time, I didn’t believe this, so I just took a look at it. Now it seems that the ancient Chinese Feng Shui is really profound. From mountains to rivers, Feng Shui can be found everywhere. Feng Shui says that the ancestor of the Chinese Dragon Vein is in the Kunlun Mountains.

The origin of the dragon is in the East China Sea, forming the power of a water dragon. There are also many mountains with good Feng Shui, such as Changbai Mountain, Qinling Mountains, etc.

Superstition says that the choice of a cemetery must be in a good Feng Shui location, in order to become an immortal and benefit the next generation of descendants. Therefore, in order to become immortals, many emperors used manpower to select cemeteries and build imperial mausoleums for themselves, and also buried their most precious things with them.

, so tomb robbers appeared. Later, in order to prevent tomb robbers, many mechanisms appeared in the tomb that surprised modern people.

I don’t know whether you can become an immortal after death, but good Feng Shui can indeed prevent corpses from corroding and turning into zombies.

The south of the mountain is yang, the north of the mountain is yin, the south of the water is yin, and the north of the water is yang... These were all taught in Feng Shui in the past, but in order to prevent superstition, today's society uses scientific methods to explain these key points in Feng Shui, so now

Many architectural plans are no longer based on Feng Shui. However, when scientists like them encounter things that cannot be explained by modern science, they become unsolved mysteries. After reading my grandfather’s diary, I felt that the ancient Chinese were really amazing.

The boring days are still going on day by day. The salary in the hospital is so low that I can no longer support myself. I have nothing to do this day and I dug out my grandfather's diary and saw that ancient scroll. I thought this ancient scroll

It's of no use to me. Why not go to the antique trading market to exchange some money and go home to marry a wife. I'm afraid I'm the only one at my age who hasn't gotten married. Tomorrow is also a holiday in the hospital, and I don't have a very important position in the hospital.

So there is a holiday.

The next afternoon I went to the antique market in the county town. The antique market was not big, but there was a lot of mixed goods, and few of them were genuine. Nowadays, the counterfeit goods are very realistic.

As soon as I took two steps, I saw a foreigner on a stall wanting to buy an incense burner. I looked at this. This incense burner was obviously fake, but the foreigner was fooled around by the stall owner. Recently, the foreigner bought it for 30,000 yuan.

gone.

After the foreigner left, I walked to the stall and said, "Okay, I actually deceived the foreigner." The stall owner panicked at this time: "Then... that was a lie, it was true..." I saw his panic:

"These things of yours are all fake. I'm not here to expose you. Foreigners who come to our country to buy antiques should deceive them. I'm here to ask you something." The stall owner saw that I was not always looking for trouble with him.

So I relaxed a lot: "I see you are a senior, feel free to ask if you have any questions." I laughed: "Seniors don't dare to take this position, so I just want to ask if there is anyone in this trading market who really understands antiques." "It turns out that there is indeed one.

, you see there is a shop in front of it, the shop owner’s surname is Wang, I don’t know his real name, but everyone knows that he is the fourth child, everyone calls him Wang Laosi.” The stall owner said. I followed his finger and there was indeed a shop.

, he thanked the stall owner and walked over.

When I entered the store, I took a look at the items in the store. I was indeed an expert, and some of them were genuine. At this time, the boss came over. Of course, I couldn't directly talk about selling ancient scrolls. People say that things are not expensive for those who know how to buy them.

Selling things is not cheap. So I picked up an incense burner. This incense burner was real, from the Tang Dynasty.

The boss said happily: "You have a good sense. This thing is much better than others." "It is much better. The incense burner from the Tang Dynasty is unfortunately a parallel import and has been corroded by the sea water, so its value is not much, otherwise it would not be available."

The hair has grown here, and no one has come to ask." I laughed. The boss was surprised and very happy at the same time. It seemed that he hadn't seen anyone knowledgeable in a long time: "Yes, you are the senior in love." I put down the hand in my hand.

Incense burner: "Senior, I don't dare to be a seller. I wonder if you can collect rags. I want to exchange some money for spending money." You can't say clearly that you collect antiques. It's just rags.

The boss seemed to know what it meant to collect rags, so he asked happily: "This is a rag collector. I don't know what kind of rags the seniors brought and how old they are." As soon as I heard that there was something going on, I gave my share

Take out the ancient scroll.

The boss took the ancient scroll and when he opened it, he seemed very disappointed. After all, it was from the Qing Dynasty and was not worth much. I was about to speak, but I saw him looking at the ancient scroll in surprise and said

Eight Star Altar.
