Chapter 0004 [Bronze Mirror]
Seeing this extremely bizarre scene, Zhang Yilong was astonished. He found that the circle of light floating in front of him looked familiar, like the shadow of the antique compass that he had collected from the antique street.
Zhang Yilong also collects antiques, but due to limited funds, he can only collect some low-priced antiques for casual play.
When Zhang Yilong was passing by the antique street on errands the day before yesterday, he spent more than five hundred yuan on a whim at a roadside stall and bought an antique, that antique compass. Although he regretted it after a while,
He felt that he had wasted hundreds of dollars in vain. The compass he bought had no collection value and was of no use to him who had never been superstitious.
Therefore, after receiving the compass, Zhang Yilong did not treasure it, but casually threw it somewhere in the rented house and ignored it.
But a few days ago, he learned from Liu Mazi that there was a Feng Shui master on Temple Street who purchased an ancient compass, so he took the opportunity to bring it over today so that the master could see it.
"Oh, that's right!" Zhang Yilong suddenly remembered something and thought to himself, "When I was hit by a car, my eyes seemed to hit the compass in my bag, so... so to speak, everything is that
Why is the mysterious compass appearing?!"
Apart from this, Zhang Yilong could not find any other more reasonable explanation.
At that moment, I saw that the chaotic aura formed in the room was gradually pouring towards the compass aperture, seeming to be absorbing the spiritual energy. Sure enough, after a while, the aura became smaller, and finally there were only traces of aura left.
.
"Why is there only that thing that emits spiritual energy?" Zhang Yilong secretly wondered. He only thought that there must be something weird about that thing, so he couldn't help but step forward and examine it carefully.
It turned out that the thing was an antique bronze mirror, which looked rusty and had an ancient charm.
At first glance, the patina on the surface of the ancient mirror is relatively thick, and it is difficult to see the surrounding inscriptions, carvings and other features clearly. However, this is not a problem for Zhang Yilong at the moment. He wants to see clearly the inside and outside of the ancient bronze mirror.
If so, just move your eyes.
Subconsciously, Zhang Yilong gathered his energy and looked at the bronze mirror intently. In just a blink of an eye, Zhang Yilong could see through the entire ancient mirror, from the outside to the inside, down to the smallest detail.
Soon Zhang Yilong had a clear look. The parts of the bronze mirror covered with rust were carved with exquisite patterns. After all, he had a certain understanding of antiques. Zhang Yilong could still see ordinary things, those lifelike ones.
The pattern should be a group of auspicious animals, and there is a Yin-Yang Bagua pattern in the center. Zhang Yilong knows very well that some bronze mirrors with animal patterns are valuable and are the best among bronze mirrors, not to mention the animal patterns in front of him.
The pattern is so finely carved that it is absolutely extraordinary.
"This should be a good thing!" Zhang Yilong affirmed secretly. Not to mention the appearance of the bronze mirror itself, its mysterious atmosphere attracted people's attention.
If it is ordinary, it will not emit aura and be sensed by the magic compass.
Although Zhang Yilong was not yet sure how valuable it was, he was already very interested and just wanted to buy it and study it carefully.
Maybe it's a hidden antique, or maybe it's a magical weapon with powerful spiritual power.
"I don't know how to sell that thing." Zhang Yilong thought, "The thing in Liu Mazi's hands shouldn't be very expensive. Let's ask him first."
He had already made a calculation in his mind, and then he slowly looked away from the bronze mirror. When he reacted, he found that the thing no longer emitted aura, and it must have been completely absorbed by the compass.
The golden compass that was standing in front of me at this moment was surrounded by that chaotic aura. After a while, it automatically shrank and returned to its original position, that is, it merged into Zhang Yilong's right eye.
Zhang Yilong turned around to greet Liu Mazi and ask about the bronze mirror, but saw that the other party had already taken out the porcelain and showed it to Mu Wanqing, so he said nothing to avoid disturbing Mu Wanqing.
It affects her idea of treasure appraisal. Anyway, she has already found the item, so there is no need to rush to negotiate the price with Liu Mazi. Let’s wait until the deal is finalized, but the premise is that the blue and white gourd bottle can win the prize of their company, Mu Wan.
Clear eyes.
At that moment, Zhang Yilong walked over lightly, and together they looked at the large bottle placed on the table.
Zhang Yilong had already seen the gourd vase. He felt that it was very genuine and should be a genuine piece of porcelain.
But this is just his personal judgment, and he is self-aware. He knows that his knowledge and experience in antiques are limited, and it is easy to make mistakes when looking at things.
"Miss Mu, what do you think of this bottle of mine?" Liu Mazi raised his eyebrows and said, "I was originally going to sell it to a Hong Kong boss, and he was willing to pay more than two million, but I couldn't bear to sell it, and kept resisting the temptation to keep it.
Until now, Zhang Yilong is my friend, so I am prepared to cooperate with your company for his sake. You can either buy it out directly or cooperate in an auction, as long as you agree to my request."
Mu Wanqing had just started to appraise, when Liu Mazi started talking about the facts of the transaction. At that moment, Mu Wanqing ignored him at all and just picked up a pocket magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.
Zhang Yilong paid attention to the changes in the expression on her face from time to time to see how she would react after seeing this thing.
After watching left and right for about seven or eight minutes, Mu Wanqing suddenly put away the high-power magnifying glass. At this time, her expression seemed calm and there was not much change.
"Miss Mu, how do you feel?" Seeing Mu Wanqing raise her head, Liu Mazi asked with a smile.
"Forgive me for my poor eyesight," Mu Wanqing replied with a half-smile.
"No way?" Hearing Mu Wanqing's answer, Zhang Yilong was secretly shocked. Although the other party's words sounded tactful, they all could hear that she obviously didn't think highly of the large blue and white vase.
In the antique industry, if someone says he is not optimistic about something, it means he thinks there is something wrong with it, but he cannot explain the situation face to face because of his face.
"Miss Mu, is there something wrong?" Seeing this, the owner Liu Mazi's expression changed instantly and he asked in a hurried tone.
"Mr. Liu, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." Mu Wanqing said quickly, "I also think your stuff is very good, it shouldn't be bad, but we have to go back and discuss it carefully. After all, the company collects stuff, and
Since you are such an important weapon, I have to ask the company for instructions. Let’s discuss it carefully and then contact you to discuss specific matters.”
"Oh, is that so?" Liu Mazi stared at Mu Wanqing doubtfully.
The other party's attitude was vague, and he had no choice. He was undoubtedly very disappointed, as he thought the other party was begging for something he wanted to buy, but he didn't seem to care.
"Zhang Yilong, let's go back first." Then Mu Wanqing greeted Zhang Yilong.
Zhang Yilong said hurriedly: "Mr. Mu, wait a moment, I have something to talk to Lao Liu."
"What's the matter?" Liu Mazi asked a little impatiently.
Zhang Yilong said enthusiastically: "I'll take you to see something."
Then he called Mazi Liu to the pile of old goods in the corner, pointed at the rusty bronze mirror and asked, "Is that thing for sale?"
"Do you want that ancient mirror?" Liu Mazi said, "For sale, how much are you willing to pay?"
Zhang Yilong smiled and said: "You pay, the thing is yours, how can I have the nerve to offer it first? Based on the relationship between us, don't waste so much words and give me the real price."
"The price is 20,000 yuan. The thing is very old and worth the price." Liu Mazi said seriously.
"My mother, aren't you trying to hurt me?! Old Liu, how can I afford tens of thousands of things?!" Zhang Yilong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You are dishonest, don't tell me that you spent a whole
I bought it for 20,000 yuan. This kind of lie is just to trick those laymen! Lao Liu, please, don’t think too highly of me. Just give me an honest price!”
"Haha, you subtle devil!" Liu Mazi pointed at Zhang Yilong and said, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense, you take eight thousand, this is the lowest price, it can't be lower."
"Three thousand, I want three thousand. I'll get the money for you right away!" Zhang Yilong said through gritted teeth.
"Boss, are you cutting the price too hard?! I sell something for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to others, but you only get 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, and I still make a profit!" Liu Mazi shook his head and said
, "I think you are joking, you are not sincere at all!"
"No, my price is not good enough?!" Zhang Yilong gently patted Liu Mazi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I will give you one thousand more, take four thousand! If you treat me as a brother, then don't
I shook my head, if I hadn't been short of money, the price of ten thousand or twenty thousand would not be short of yours, and I won't forget you if I pick up something good in the future!"
"Hey, forget it, just take it!" Liu Mazi said as if he had no choice but to take Zhang Yilong, "You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. I won't give you credit. It's fun to borrow money, but it's not fun to pay back!"
"I'm going to get the money right now and pay you in cash to see if you have anything else to say!" Zhang Yilong said happily.
When he turned around and walked back to Mu Wanqing to explain the situation, Mu Wanqing said without hesitation: "Zhang Yilong, don't go and withdraw money. I'll lend you four thousand first. You can pay it back to me when it's convenient for you."
That’s it.”
"Ah?! Then thank you, Mr. Mu!" Zhang Yilong said in surprise and joy. In this case, it couldn't be better. This place is a long way from the bank where he withdraws money, and it will take a long time to go back and forth.
With Mu Wanqing's help, it would be a lot easier.
"Nothing." Mu Wanqing said with a smile, then she took out an exquisite money clip from the small bag in her hand, and handed four thousand yuan to Zhang Yilong, who quickly handed the money to Liu Mazi, and the two of them
One person pays the money and delivers the goods.
After getting the ancient mirror, Zhang Yilong said goodbye to Mu Wanqing and left.
"Zhang Yilong, our trip was not in vain."
On the way to the parking lot, Mu Wanqing said: "The thing you just bought is very valuable. According to my estimation, it should be from the Song and Jin Dynasties. You only spent three to four thousand yuan, and the market price is at least
Between ** and 10,000, you picked up a big leak! And I might as well tell you that this should be a bronze mirror, a magical weapon. You must also know what a magical weapon is, right? In addition to the collection of the magical weapon itself,
Value, it still has its value in the world of magic weapons. The older the magic weapon, the stronger the magic power it has! But I don’t have a deep understanding of magic weapons, so I have to find Lao Ma, who runs a magic weapon store."
