"Pine-patterned ancient sword!"
At this time, at Yu Feibai's reminder, Wang Guan suddenly realized that his fingers gently swept over the sword pattern. It seemed to be the texture of pine wood, which was extremely regular. Moreover, the blade of this ancient pine-shaped sword is extremely tough and sharp, and the tip has a hidden serration, and its lethality must be amazing.
After weighing the pine-patterned sword a little, Wang Guan praised: "Well, it's okay, it's not bad."
"What does it mean is OK?" Yu Feibai immediately despised him: "Is this a peerless sword obviously good? I think you must be jealous and refuse to admit it..."
"Okay, whatever you say is what you want." Wang Guan smiled, not mentioning the swordsmanship, so as not to hurt Yu Feibai's confidence. Then he continued to inquire: "You said this is Wang Zhi's portable weapon, so you must have found Wang Zhi's treasure."
"If the so-called treasure is just this ancient pine-patterned sword, will you turn against me?" Yu Feibai asked seriously.
"Won't."
Wang Guan shook his head directly and said according to fact: "It's just that you suspected that you had embezzled the treasure."
"Tsk!" Yu Feibai snorted: "You are judging a gentleman's belly by the heart of a villain. Am I that kind of person... Actually, I really want to be that kind of person."
While sighing, a bright smile appeared on Yu Fei's face: "After all, I didn't waste my time, and the hard work for nearly two months was worth it. At the moment when I dug up the treasure, I almost wanted to fly far away and immigrate directly to the United States."
"What this means..." Wang Guan said happily and said, "The treasure is very rich?"
“It’s not only rich, it’s simply…”
Yu Feibai was a little excited and reached out to gesture: "There are many, many, not only gold, silver and treasures, but also many weapons. If it were in ancient times, those weapons could be used to pull up an armed force of more than a thousand people."
“This is not surprising.”
At the same time, Mr. Qian smiled and said, "According to historical records, Wang Zhi was engaged in smuggling activities, traveling between China and Japan. He even settled in Hirado, Japan, and held the banner of King Hui, with at least more than 3,000 people under his command. It is normal for such a force to prepare a batch of weapons for backup."
"Yes, it's normal." Yu Fei smiled and then sighed, "It's a pity. Hundreds of years have passed, and the weapons have not been maintained, and most of them have rusted. Only some more expensive weapons, including this ancient pine sword, were properly placed in a sealed box. This was intact."
"Don't worry about weapons or something." Wang Guan waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about gold, silver and treasures."
"Huh."
Yu Feibai immediately said in surprise: "When did you become so obsessed with money?"
"Nonsense." Wang Guan rolled his eyes and said, "When did you spend hundreds of millions and try the bank account to be penniless, you will become obsessed with money."
"I want to experience this kind of taste, provided that you give me hundreds of millions first." Yu Feibai was also very unhappy. In his opinion, this was clearly a naked show-off.
"Well..."
Wang Guan blinked and suddenly laughed: "Didn't you say there are a lot of gold, silver and treasures? That should be hundreds of millions."
"Um?"
At the right time, Yu Feibai rubbed his chin and pondered: "It's really hard to say if there is no specific statistics."
"This is not simple. Where did you put the things? I'll count them." Wang Guan said with a fuss. As he said, he was afraid of poverty now, and a large sum of gold, silver and treasures were recorded. Naturally, he was a little excited.
"Tianmen Wharf!"
Yu Feibai said casually: "There are a lot of things, and I can't carry them in a while. So just put them on the boat first."
"What are you waiting for? Go and have a look."
While speaking, Wang Guan called his friends and, under Yu Feibai, came to Tianjin Wharf in a mighty manner. Then he boarded a huge cargo ship and the treasure was placed in the wide cargo hold. When he entered the cargo hold, the lights were all turned on, and everyone could see very clearly that more than twenty large boxes were piled in the cabin.
When Wang Guan walked in, he saw that each large box was sealed with iron nails. When he touched it with his hands, he felt that the box was very heavy, and he didn't know how much stuff was inside.
At the same time, Yu Feibai found tools and said enthusiastically: "Come here, let's show you some good things."
While speaking, Yu Feibai pried open a large box, and the moment he opened the lid, a slightly red luster immediately poured out, which was very eye-catching.
"What is it?" Everyone gathered around to watch.
"Red Coral."
At first glance, Wang Guan was also a little surprised: "And it's a coral tree."
“So beautiful.”
Others couldn't help but admire it. You should know that red corals are the most prestigious and expensive corals among corals, and are also the mainstream corals on the market now. After all, bright red corals, for Chinese who prefer red, red corals naturally have special meanings, symbolizing good luck and prosperity.
Especially coral trees, such things are not ordinary.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin, Shi Chong and Wang Kai fought for wealth. Emperor Wu of Jin was Wang Kai's nephew, and he often helped Wang Kai. Once, he gave Wang Kai a coral tree more than two feet tall, with long branches. Historical records say that things are rare treasures in the world and may be several times more valuable than pearls and jade.
This is understandable. After all, the east is produced at the bottom of the sea, and the ancients also felt ignorant and fearful of the sea. Therefore, the corals produced in the sea must be regarded as rare treasures.
And not only in ancient times, but even in modern times, coral trees are of great value. For example, the coral tree in front of you is more than one meter tall, with bright red colors very brightly, and the scattered branches are as gorgeous as peacocks spreading their tails, with a perfect appearance. Such things must be more than one million.
"Good stuff."
At this moment, a shrewd look flashed through Pi Qiushi's eyes: "Take it and ask Master Banshan to consecrate it, and then you can use it as a Feng Shui tree, and the price should be doubled directly."
"Brother Pi is more experienced." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Remember it, just do it like this."
Of course, in the big box, there are not only red coral trees, but also many pieces of things. They are nothing more than ornaments such as gold and silver. The workmanship is very exquisite and valuable.
However, what really makes people's eyes lit up and they can't help but be intoxicated is the big box filled with gold and silver. The yellow and shiny silver color makes people full of the urge to hold things in their arms.
Anyway, scientific research has proved that based on the conditioned reflex formed over thousands of years, humans will unconsciously beat faster when they see these two things. It is difficult to stop the temptations in it.
It is better to act than to move. Wang Guan slightly reached out to pick up a piece of gold and looked at it. The gold nuggets were irregular in shape and a clear molding, but it was a small character called Wang.
This is not surprising. There is no doubt that these gold and silver were made by Wang Zhi, the owner of the Five Peaks. However, it was not a glorious thing to be a pirate in the minds of the ancients. So he habitually concealed the naming and claimed his surname to the outside world, so as not to implicate the villagers. Therefore, it is natural to print a king-shaped figure on the cast gold and silver ingots.
Besides, the character "The King" that is stamped with the word "The King" means this. However, for everyone, the text of the seal is just a small matter. Real gold and enough silver are the bottom line.
"It seems that the ancients had long understood that gold and silver are hard currency." At this time, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "So twenty of the twenty-seven large boxes are gold nuggets."
"What's left?" Wang Guan said curiously: "Pearl and Jade Jewelry?"
"Absolutely." Yu Feibai nodded and said, "There are some well-preserved weapons, which I have brought back by the way."
"By the way, there is something you must not have imagined." At the same time, Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Wang Zhi's treasure actually contains a lot of calligraphy and paintings."
"real?"
When Wang Guan heard this, he said with great interest: "Where is there any works of famous artists?
"I didn't look closely. But there are indeed several famous works." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "But it is just a celebrity at that time, and it may not be familiar to people now."
"I understand this." Wang Guan nodded. After all, Wang Zhi wanted to be arty and elegant, and he must have collected poems, calligraphy and paintings of famous literati at that time. However, celebrities at that time may not be celebrities now.
After all, the environments of each era are different, and the evaluations are completely opposite. Take Cai Jing as an example. When he was in high spirits, there were endless people who came to ask for calligraphy. However, when he fell and was called a traitor, all the poems, calligraphy and paintings were burned, so few original works were passed down.
Of course, this is a political factor, and there is also the reason why the waves wash away the sand. Some things were very good at that time, but after a while, everyone suddenly realized that this thing was not as good as they imagined and was naturally eliminated. Therefore, people are fickle and their aesthetic views will also change as the times change.
However, it cannot be denied that Wang Zhi was mainly active during the Jiajing period, so the calligraphy and paintings he collected must be from that era or before that era. No matter what, the things that have been passed down to the present are also confirmed antiques. Even the works of ordinary literati who are unknown, their value is not much lower.
Under Wang Guan's urging, Yu Feibai pried open a large box again. The spacious space in the box was indeed full of scrolls of varying lengths, and it looked well preserved, without any traces of rotten insects.
At the right time, Wang Guan picked up a shorter scroll, unbuttoned the rope and then spread it out and looked carefully.
"Follow the laws of heaven!"
Everyone came closer and saw that there were only these three big characters on the surface. Wang Guan was a little surprised and must look at the signature carefully, but it was the four characters of Dexing and Guo Chen.
After thinking about it, Wang Guan suddenly realized: "It's him."
"Who is he?" Tang Qinghua said inexplicably: "Is it very famous?"
