Chapter 493: Fireworks in the Tang Dynasty(1/2)

Today is the fifth time I came to the Bronze Branch of the Kyoto Museum. The mysterious energy in the colorful halo crazily penetrated into my eyes, nourishing the pupils, and then turned into a cool breath that spread throughout the body and integrated into the internal organs.

, improving body functions.

As the number of times increases, the mysterious energy that the strange pupils can hold becomes less and less. Today, there may be a quantitative change and a qualitative change.

Li Mo came in after the museum closed. It was just a word from Director Shi. Besides, Li Mo himself has a high prestige. As soon as the museum staff heard that he would spend more time studying bronzes, many people wanted to follow him.

He studied together, but Li Mo made an excuse and declined.

Time passed little by little, and his eyes began to heat up. This feeling was very familiar, and the strange pupils began to transform. Li Mo stabilized his mind and continued to absorb the mysterious energy in the colorful halo.

Suddenly, Li Mo clearly heard two sounds of bubbles bursting, which came from his eyes. His heated eyes instantly became cool, and the world in front of him became clearer, even in dimly lit environments.

daytime.

Scanning the strange pupils for a week, hundreds of bronzes collected in the Bronze Museum simultaneously raised colorful haloes of light, making the world become colorful and beautiful.

The perspective vision is unimpeded all the way, passing through the extremely thick reinforced concrete wall of the Bronze Museum, passing through the steel plate partition in the middle of the wall, and seeing the world outside the museum. The tourists in the museum square, the constant flow of vehicles on the avenue...

..

Li Mo felt that the visual distance of his strange pupils was at least more than a hundred meters. As soon as he detected the limit of his vision, he immediately withdrew his clairvoyant gaze. There were too many pedestrians on the road, which was too annoying for his eyes.

This time, not only did the ability of the strange eyes transform again, but the conjoined ability also seemed to be strengthened again. He felt that if he punched with all his strength, the destructive power could be increased by 30%.

Li Mo walked out of the museum and saw a brown bear squatting on the steps smoking a cigarette.

"Didn't I ask you to spend more time with your wife at home?"

Brown Bear put out the cigarette butt and put it into the trash can next to him. He stood up and said with a smile: "I've been at home for a long time. My wife thinks I'm annoying, so she urges me to come out and help you every day."

"How is your wife's recovery?"

"I went for a physical examination last week. All the physical data are very good. The bones have begun to heal. I will be fine after a good two or three months of rest. Boss, you'd better not let Xiaojun send any more supplements. I can eat it every day."

"Your family can eat together. I brought many people with me to Ao Island this time, so you should stay at home and take care of your wife. After all, your parents are old. If there is any urgent matter, you can handle it quickly."

Brown Bear thought for a moment, it was really inconvenient for his wife to take a bath and go to the bathroom without his own help. This time the boss brought almost everyone from the Safe Shield Company there. It was definitely not an ordinary thing, so he had to go with him.

"Don't think too much, just follow my arrangements."

"Yes, boss."

When it comes to Ao Island, the most famous one is its gaming industry, which is one of the three major gambling cities in the world. Li Mo’s knowledge of Ao Island is only about tourism, shopping and gambling, so he just arrived from Ao Island International Airport

When I came out, my first thought was to wander around first, and then go to Aodao Antique Old Street.

As for Jia Siyuan's matter, let's take it easy for the time being. That kid is so ungrateful that he will feel better when he falls into his hands. The person who came to pick up Li Mo at the airport was Viper, who drove him in an ordinary car rented locally and took him towards the end of Ao Island.

Upscale hotels march.

People from Safe Shield Company chartered a flight to Ao Island two days earlier, and based on the information provided by Li Mo, they went to every corner to find out the news.

"Have you found the boy?"

"We have found that kid. He has been hiding in Tianhe Entertainment. He is not under strict control. He still wanders around there every day and keeps making small moves. Boss, this is a bit weird."

"He lives quite comfortably, so let him live happily for two more days. Let's go to the hotel to arrange accommodation first, and then take me around. This is my first time here after growing up. Let's first feel the customs here and the inland.

What’s the difference?”

Tomorrow is the National Day holiday in the Mainland, and Ao Island will also usher in a peak in the number of tourists, and the gaming business here will also usher in a peak. Of course, Ao Island’s gaming revenue comes more from VIP rooms, and the people inside

Losing hundreds of thousands or millions is just a starting point, it's all a small matter.

Li Mo once read a report saying that there is a licensed gaming company in Australia, and its monthly income can reach up to more than 3 billion. Just think about it and you will know how many rich people have fallen into it.

Although it was Li Mo's first time here, the information provided by Mr. Qin was quite comprehensive. After all the hotel arrangements were made, Viper drove him around in his car.

"Boss, in fact, there is not much to see in Ao Island. Any tourist attraction in the mainland is prettier than this one. It's just that some of the buildings here have a bit of an exotic style, which can make people's eyes shine."

Li Mo visited three places and found them to be very ordinary, because this is one of the three most famous gambling cities in the world. According to statistics, nearly 30,000 people from all over the world walk into the casino every day, trying to get something here.

The short-lived excitement and the realization of the dream of getting rich easily, so very few people actually come to hang out.

"Go to the Ruins of St. Paul's. There is an antique street over there. Let's go check it out."

The extension of the Ruins of St. Paul's is a famous antique street. Like the City God's Temple in Shanghai and the Confucius Temple in Jinling, there are a lot of passengers here every day, and it is even more crowded during holidays. The shops on the old street include jade, lacquerware,

Porcelain, wood carvings, antiques, second-hand brand-name bags, watches, etc. There are even old Chinese furniture, European and American classical furniture.

There is also a flea market near the old street. Many vendors gather there every day. There are regular rows of stalls on the ground. Tourists can walk through it and inquire about the ones they like.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the car parked in the centralized parking lot near the Ruins of St. Paul's. Li Mo held a mung bean popsicle in one hand and a map in the other. The poisonous snake followed closely behind him. He now took over the brown bear's job and temporarily protected the boss.

.

"Boss, there are so many people here, many of them are from the mainland."

"Tomorrow is the first day of the National Day holiday. There will be more people. Looking at the lively scene, I feel like I have returned to the Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai. The air is filled with the aroma of various delicacies and snacks. Are you hungry? Why don't we buy two to try?

?”

"Boss, you ordered a lot of dishes for lunch, and I haven't digested the food yet."

"Forget it, let's find a specialty restaurant to try local delicacies in the evening. Come on, follow me into those antique shops. Do you remember what I told you before? If I see something good, you have to be there in time.

Please cooperate with me."

"Boss, I kept it all in mind, but you explained it so seriously, I started to get nervous even before I entered the antique store." Viper said a little distressed, he really didn't know how to cooperate.

"Hahaha, you'll get used to it if you cooperate a few times."

Li Mo walked to the door of an antique store, which sold appreciation stones. He followed the flow of people into the store. There were many people inside, mostly choosing products. Li Mo looked around and saw that there were two rows in the store.

The counter is filled with all kinds of strange stones in different and bright colors. Behind the counter, there are two rows of antique shelves against the wall. The shelves are filled with works carved from various stones.

"Boss, those stones look so blood red on the surface, are they the legendary bloodstones?"

Viper asked softly.

"The same size of soapstone is enough to buy 10,000 pieces of this stone. This is a stone with red impurities. You can call it an appreciation stone. It looks very distinctive, but it is just a stone."

Viper scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "When we have nothing to do in Kyoto, we brothers will read some antique books. I am more impressed by the chicken blood stone."

"There's nothing to see here, let's find another one."

Li Mo smiled and walked into the porcelain shop next door after leaving the store. The area of ​​this shop is more than twice that of the next door. The shelves are filled with all kinds of porcelain and ceramics. The styles are exquisite and the craftsmanship is exquisite.

However, many tourists are willing to bargain. But what they are mainly interested in is porcelain, and almost no one cares about the small portion of ceramics.

At a glance, Li Mo saw that the quality of the imitation porcelain here was really good, comparable to the high imitation porcelain sold in the Gu Yunxuan store in the Magic City. It seemed that the boss here was also a smart person, so instead of getting some old and broken porcelain

Instead of fooling customers, it is better to make high-quality porcelain with exquisite craftsmanship so that customers can't help but be tempted to buy it.

He slowly looked at the porcelain on the shelf, and finally came to the corner, where there were more than ten celadon-glazed ceramics. The shape and glaze craftsmanship of the ceramics were far from exquisite, so they were placed in the porcelain shop.

Li is just a foil.

Li Mo glanced at it and was about to turn around when his eyes suddenly returned to one of the pots. It was a green-glazed pottery pot. The reason why Li Mo's attention was attracted was because there was a poem on the pottery pot.

The earliest poetry pot appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, a period after the Anshi Rebellion.

The poem on the pottery pot in front of me reads: You gave birth to me before you were born, and I gave birth to you when you were old. You hate that I was born late, but I hate that you were born early.

This is a five-character poem from the Tang Dynasty. Many people have heard of this poem. It reflects that two people who love each other are still full of deep friendship despite the age gap. The reason why this poem is known to people today is

Not because it was included in anthologies of Tang poetry and passed down from generation to generation, but because it was originally from a piece of Tang ceramics unearthed in the mainland, and the author is unknown.

Currently, there are two identical Tang Dynasty poetry pots collected in mainland museums. There is only one word difference in the poems above. One is "I gave birth to you, you are old", the other is "I gave birth to you, so you are old". The latter one is

It is stored in the Jinling Museum, and Li Mo happened to visit it before.

Because this poem was touching, Li Mo turned around and took a few more glances. But the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the Tang Dynasty poetry pot on the Bogu shelf was a little different. He couldn't help but scan it with his special pupils, and the green-glazed poetry pot actually revealed

A light red halo then formed a red aperture and spread around.

This pottery pot is truly authentic from the Tang Dynasty.

"Hello, sir, if you like anything, I'll take it off for you to take a closer look at." A female shop assistant in her thirties came over and asked in standard Mandarin.

"I don't like anything in particular, I just think these ceramics are quite special. I'd like to ask where you buy them. I'll buy some when I go back."

The female clerk was stunned for a moment, then said with a professional smile: "Sir, you may be disappointed. These ceramics are not purchased from any company, but we purchased them from the mainland through personal connections."

"Is that so..." Li Mo had a look of disappointment on his face, and then asked, "Then how do you sell this ceramic?"

He pointed at any one.

Viper had been standing nearby, and when he saw the boss looking at him, he immediately understood that the boss had taken a fancy to a certain piece of ceramics.

"If my husband likes it, he can take it away for only 3,000 yuan. The cost of purchasing it from the mainland is close to 2,500 yuan, so we don't make much money."

The female clerk said it very sincerely, as if the price difference was just a little hard-earned money.

Li Mo despised her a little. In the Mainland, he could pick up this thing for tens of dollars, but it became a rare thing in her mouth. But when others were acting, he was not acting.

"Master, three thousand yuan is not worth it. This thing is only five hundred yuan at most." The viper came on stage, and he killed the price all at once.

"Only two hundred?" Li Mo asked deliberately in surprise, and then looked at the female clerk with a somewhat unkind look, as if to say that you still want to fool me.

"I'm sorry, sir, the lowest price for the ceramic piece you are interested in is 3,000 yuan. You said these three pieces are worth 500 yuan." The female clerk responded very quickly, without changing her face, and pointed to the other three pieces.

One of them happens to be a Tang Dynasty celadon poetry pot.
