Chapter 21 Relics
Because of the magical spring water, although Lao Liu drank nearly one pound of high-alcohol liquor at night, he had nothing to do.
However, Danzengjeb was completely confused.
Lao Liu cleaned up the house where Zhashidawa was on duty before and let Danzengjeb sleep in that house.
During the second uncle's hospitalization, Zhaxidawa stayed in the inn for one night every one or two days. However, Zhaxidawa did not live in the second uncle's house, but slept in the next room.
Lao Liu was still very energetic when he returned to the room. He had been on the plateau for almost twenty days, and his time difference had been almost adjusted.
Although the Plateau implements the capital time, in terms of longitude and longitude, the capital is in the East Eighth District and Sunshine City is in the East Six District. The two cities have a two-hour time difference.
It seems that the time difference between two hours is not big, but it still has an impact on life.
For example, at the end of July and the beginning of August, it was bright at around 5 o'clock in the morning on the other side of Dongshan, but it was still dark and there was nothing to see. By nine o'clock in the evening, the sky was full of stars on the other side of Dongshan, but the sun had just set...
Lao Liu lay on the bed for a while and couldn't sleep, so he simply got out of the bed with his clothes, lit a cigarette, and walked slowly around the house, while considering some plans for the inn and his future.
After walking around for a few rounds, his gaze was attracted by the dark box below the middle of the old-fashioned desk.
"Damn, I've been busy with other things these days, and I actually forgot that the second uncle left me this thing."
Thinking of the things that the second uncle said about the wooden box before his death, Liu Mo'ang walked to the desk and bent down.
"Wow, it's so heavy!" Liu Mo'ang said to himself unexpectedly.
This small-looking wooden box weighs more than 20 pounds, so Lao Liu didn't pick it up at all. After he picked it up hard, he found under the light that the dark box seemed to have a layer of patina, giving people a very good feeling. And there was a simple copper lock on it, which was the kind of ancient copper lock played in historical TV series.
"Hey! Could this box be made by Xiao Zi?" Liu Mo'ang was delighted with the feeling of the wooden box. Then he put it on the desk and rubbed it hard for a few times, lowered his head and sniffed it carefully. He didn't smell any other smell, nor did the legendary sandalwood smell. Only then did Old Liu nodded with satisfaction.
His seven-day hotel is located next to the antique market in Tianqu City. Since childhood, Liu Mo'ang has been wandering around the antique market with his grandfather. Liu Mo'ang's grandfather Liu Ziqiang was from the Tianqu Antique Association when he was alive and was very proficient in antiques. So after hearing and seeing, Lao Liu also knew some antiques.
Well, it's not the kind of walking where you can play casually, and you're not half a bottle of swaying. He really knows some antiques.
The real small-leaf red sandalwood has no sandalwood smell...
Without carefully examining the material of this wooden box, Liu Mo'ang turned around and walked to the head of the bed, took out the set of keys left to him by the second uncle from his outer pocket, and saw one of the unique keys at a glance.
After stuttering and turning, the copper lock, which was slightly dark green, popped open with a "click" sound, lifting the lid of the wooden box.
There were two pieces of paper in the box. Lao Liu picked it up and looked at it and found that it was a sub-couple of Bai Shi's vaccine injection certificate. The date was June this year. In other words, the second uncle only vaccinated Bai Shi last month.
This proved that it seemed useless, so Lao Liu put it aside.
Looking down again, the vaccine proved that what was underneath made Old Liu tremble...
There were not many things in the box and they were not big, but at a glance they could tell that they were all old objects, lying quietly on yellow silk.
"This seems to be a snuff bottle from the Daoguang period?" Liu Mo'ang carefully picked up a snuff bottle and looked at it carefully for a few minutes before asking himself in a tone with a hint of uncertainty.
Although his tone was a little uncertain, the happy expression on his face had already indicated the identity of the snuff bottle in his hand.
"Hiss... these two Thangkas are not ordinary." The two Thangkas are not big, only ten centimeters square, and belong to mini Thangkas.
Although these two Thangkas are not big, Liu Mo'ang doesn't know much about them, but these two Thangkas give him a different feeling. Not to mention, the historical heaviness revealed from these two Thangkas is enough to prove that these two Thangkas are very unusual, not to mention that these two Thangkas seem to be made with high-quality cinnabar and gold powder, and even the edges are a circle of gold...
After gently putting down the Thangka, Liu Mo'ang picked up another crystal Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue is the size of a fist, and the whole body is carved with pure crystal.
"Tsk tsk, this Buddha should be hand-carved from the top-grade crystal in Shannan, not carved by machines. Not bad or not..."
"Hey, the Hetian jade used for this jade plaque is of good quality, and it is a collection-level one. Second uncle, do you still have this kind of good thing hidden?"
"Good guy, is this a round plate bead? Or is it a natural sheep-eyed Dzi bead that has been around for a while?" Old Liu was a little stunned when he looked at the two agate Dzi beads in the box that were not much bigger than the glass balls that children played with.
If the previous snuff bottle, Thangka, the jade plaque and crystal Buddha statue made Lao Liu's heart tremble at most, then these two natural sheep-eyed Dzi beads made him completely stunned.
The sheep-eyed Dzi beads belong to the side-type Dzi beads, mostly made of agate. According to legend, people who wear the sheep-eyed Dzi beads can be bright, have rich wealth, have a prosperous career, and have great achievements, and have smooth five elements.
It is also said that the natural sheep eye Dzi bead has super powerful natural magnetic field capabilities, showing light to protect the wearer, and all merits are perfect and fulfilling. "Sheep" is homophonic to "Auspicious", which means auspiciousness, so the sheep eye Dzi bead symbolizes wealth and successful career success.
Although I don’t know if the two goat-eyed Dzi beads in front of me have been lit, this natural goat-eyed Dzi beads is definitely an extremely rare thing at present. It would be even more amazing if these two beads were really lit by the big lama.
As for the value, Lao Liu dare not think about it anyway...
Liu Mo'ang really didn't expect that the second uncle would have such a collection.
In the past, every time the second uncle returned to his hometown, he looked sloppy. Although he would take him to have fun every time he came back, Liu Mo'ang really didn't think that his second uncle was a rich person.
But now when seeing the things that the second uncle collected, Lao Liu knew that he was wrong too much.
The second uncle is too good at pretending, right? He is obviously from Sanya. He is driving a Ferrari, Maybach, and Rolls-Royce, but he insists on hanging a "Qiong B" brand...
Gently rubbing the two beads, thinking about the second uncle who looked poor and happy I had seen in those years, Old Liu couldn't help but sigh.
Old Liu remembered the jade pendant that the second uncle gave him before his death.
At that time, Lao Liu had also carefully observed the jade pendant. He knew that the jade pendant was not a good jade carving, but it was very ordinary Nanyang Dushan jade carving, and the jade pendant carving didn't look good. However, looking at the patina, this jade pendant is definitely old.
There are many Taoist holy places in the Central Plains, and Dushan jade at that time was not as intimate as it is now. It is not surprising that such jade pendants appeared.
It was probably because the second uncle got it from when he was walking all over the country.
But what Liu Mo'ang was strange was that compared to those other things, this jade pendant was really a bit dull except for the years, but why did the second uncle still cherish it so much? He also handed it to himself.
Could it be that the second uncle has long known the secret hidden in the jade pendant?
"But if the second uncle knew the secret of the Five Elements Jade, then with the effect of the magical spring, the second uncle should not have cancer!" Old Liu touched his empty chest and was puzzled.
The jade pendant has turned into the five elements jade and exists in his body...
The second uncle said before his death that the things in this wooden box belonged to him. But Old Liu never thought about it that the things in this box were so precious!
"Everything tomorrow, you have to store the box and the things inside in the bank safe! His sisters, these things are just put in the house, which is too stressful..."
