What is a tripod?

The country's important tools, ritual tools, and magical tools.

In ancient times, Dayu cast nine tripods and divided the world into the world. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there were nine tripods of emperors, seven tripods of princes, five tripods of nobles and officials, and three tripods of scholars. As for the common people, they were definitely not qualified to use tripods.

Although at the beginning, the tripod was just a utensil for the ancients to cook food, with the development of the times, the meaning of the tripod began to gradually evolve and became a symbol of power.

Therefore, in ancient times, cauldrons were also a taboo thing for ordinary people. Without a comparable status, who dared to cast cauldrons in private would definitely be a serious crime of raiding the house and extermination of the clan.

In other words, since ancient times, the tripod has only been circulated on a small scale and is difficult for ordinary people to see it.

Of course, modern society is enlightened. As long as you have money, it is not difficult to cast a cauldron at home. However, modern cauldron casting and ancient cauldron are completely different concepts. In terms of value, it is a world of difference.

Anyway, when Qi Xiang saw this tripod, he was very excited. He carefully cleaned the tripod body and then looked at it intently.

It took more than an hour to see this. During this period, Qi Xiang was intoxicated, full of physical and mental investment, completely forgot about himself, and even more careless about Wang Dong and others.

Wang Dong and others stood by and waited, and found that Qi Xiang had no intention of stopping. This was also a torment for them. After all, they were half drunk during the day and climbed mountains to move things at night, and were half tired.

It is around two o'clock in the morning, which is the most suitable time to sleep.

Wang Dong couldn't hold on anymore, so he beat the big Ayao, then covered his mouth and said, "I'm going to sleep, you... leave one to guard outside, and go and rest as well."

As soon as Wang Dong left, the remaining few people looked at each other and then scattered.

The remaining unlucky guy was left, and because he ran slowly, he had to stay for a vigilance. But he was not stupid either, so he brought a bench to block the door, and then lay on the chair and half-squinted his eyes to guard it.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one else in the room except Qi Xiang himself.

After a long time, Qi Xiang woke up from his obsession. When he looked left and right, he found that there was no one around. He took off his gloves and threw them away, and slowly twisted his neck.

He felt very tired, but he felt very fulfilled.

After all, ancient tripods like this are usually treasured by the country. As a small player, he has no chance to contact them at all. Now he can watch them up close, so he is naturally fascinated and completely addicted to them.

"It should be a real thing, but I don't know the specific era..." Qi Xiang said to herself: "Spring and Autumn Period? Warring States Period? Forget it, after returning, let Boss Jiang ask another expert to identify it."

Qi Xiang is very self-aware and knows that he does not have the ability to appreciate. It is already good to be sure that this is a real ancient cauldron. It is better to leave it to experts for difficult things like dying the age.

After rubbing his neck for a moment, Qi Xiang felt a little relieved. She was tired in her body, but she was full of energy and had no sleepiness at all. Soon, his eyes turned and his eyes turned to a bunch of scattered things next to her.

Although things are fragmentary, they are undoubtedly antiques.

Qi Xiang walked over and looked around with a little curiosity.

There are many things, mostly jade miscellaneous items, including jade rings, jade bi, jade palm, and knife coins.

Qi Xiang swept past, but her eyes slightly condensed and fell on a piece of jade the size of a fist.

The jade seemed to be rough jade, without any carving and decorating. It was simple and unpretentious, gray-brown, with a bit of mud-stained marks, and it looked very ordinary.

However, it was this piece of jade that made him feel a very strong impulse. It was as if in the dark, there was an intuition telling him that this thing is very important and should not be missed...

Qi Xiang was a little confused and picked up the jade with a slight hand. When his fingers touched the jade, his heart immediately fluctuated and there were waves of indescribable throbbing.

"What's the situation?" Qi Xiang was shocked.

At this moment, Qi Xiang suddenly felt a numbness in his fingers, as if he was electrocuted. An arc of light jumped up in the jade, causing his hands to tremble, and then he wanted to throw the jade out.

At the same time, he immediately saw a dazzling light of lightning appearing inside the jade. The gray-brown jade immediately became crystal clear, as pure and transparent as crystal, with a jewelry spirit.

In an instant, the light was as bright as a snake, and more like omnipresent mercury, which instantly oozed into his hands, and then winded up along his arms and jumped into his eyebrows.

Qi Xiang only felt her eyebrows swelling, then her eyes turned dark and dizzy. However, he was not in a coma, but just felt his mind blank, his thinking was very slow, and he turned into a mud, and he was dumbfounded.

It's in a daze, in a vast world...

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt a trembling brow, and a thread of hot flow flowed out, rolling like beads in his body.

As the air flow rolled, he felt his body gradually getting hot and his qi and blood were stimulating.

With every turbulence of the qi and blood, his whole body became warm, and his skin pores also relaxed gently, making him feel very comfortable.

This light and swaying feeling is fascinating.

Qi and blood are turbulent, and the spirit is swaying.

Hearing, touch, and spiritual sense, as if an enlargement has been added, extending suddenly.

Quietly, Qi Xiang felt that she could catch traces of air flow. The soft night wind blew outside and "slid" in the crack of the door, bringing a little dust.

The man who was guarding the door was already asleep, swallowing his throat from time to time, unconsciously scratching his face, and restlessly sleeping.

A scent of wind passed by and slowly arrived at the end of the corridor.

In that direction, it seems that someone is talking...

"...Boss, don't worry, we have done this matter and he has no doubt at all."

"Yes, yes, we led him directly into the tomb and let him watch us move things out with his own eyes..."

"... All the things are real, so he can't tell if he changes one of them."

“…It’s foolproof, absolutely foolproof.”

"Okay, okay, contact me again..."

The sound ended and the room returned to tranquility. After a while, there was a sound of tossing and turning. After a long time, the breathing sound was stable, and it was obvious that the man fell asleep.

At this time, Qi Xiang was shocked and woke up from this mysterious state. He looked down and saw a ball of jade on his hand that had turned into a pile of powder.

However, he didn't bother to study the reasons and immediately fell into deep thought...

The night passed quietly, and the next morning, Wang Dong and others got up one after another and gathered together again.

"Brother Qi, you really haven't slept all night?" Wang Dong's eyes were a little distorted.

"It's not that exaggerating." Qi Xiang was energetic and smiled: "After you went to rest last night, I went to sleep with you."

"Oh." Wang Dong didn't doubt it. After all, looking at Qi Xiang's complexion, he didn't look like he had been staying up all night. Then he glanced at him and asked with a smile: "Brother, you looked at it last night. What do you think of these things?"

"Okay..." Qi Xiang said sincerely: "Everything is a fine product."

"Brother has vision." Wang Dong gave a thumbs up.

Qi Xiang smiled and said, "What a pity..."

"What a pity?" Wang Dong asked hurriedly.

"It's a pity that it's water head (stolen goods), it's hard to take action!" Qi Xiang chuckled: "And in terms of price, it's even hard to estimate."

"Hahaha." Wang Dong was relieved and said proudly: "For the price, let Boss Jiang look at it. I guess he won't let our brothers work in vain."

"This is natural." Qi Xiang smiled indifferently: "But Boss Jiang is very busy. Before I come here, I also handed over the negotiations to me. Brother Dong, if there is something to offend later, please forgive me."

Wang Dong was stunned, then became more enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "Brother, why didn't you say it earlier? Let's go have breakfast..."

"Let's eat breakfast again." Qi Xiang pointed his hand: "Brother Dong, you can offer these things at a price."

"Brother, talking about money hurts feelings." Wang Dong waved his hand and said, "Just say a number, just don't treat us badly. We don't care whether it's more or less, just make friends."

Wang Dong was polite, but Qi Xiang was not ruthless and cut a big knife directly: "100,000?"

"Hiss..." Wang Dong's mouth twitched and he had a toothache. His group of little brothers were even more dumbfounded, thinking that Qi Xiang was too dark and was definitely a big profiteer.

Even if everyone knows that these things are shameless stolen goods, the price must be very low. But I never expected that Qi Xiang was so dark and thick-skinned and shameless.

"Cough..." Wang Dong smiled bitterly and had to change his words: "Brother, don't you think the price is a bit small?"

"One hundred thousand is already a lot." Qi Jiao analyzed: "Brother Dong, you don't know that the current antique market is getting worse every year. In the past few years, there were countless sky-high prices. But now, it has basically disappeared."

"In the words of experts, investment is restored to rationality and the overall market is falling."

Qi Xiang shook her head and sighed: "What's more, these things are too clear and obvious. They will have to be put on hold for at least for many years before they can take action. Considering the inflation factor, the money will be worthless many years later, so the current 100,000 yuan is really a lot."

The group of people were stunned and couldn't help but sigh that there were such shameless people in the world who were talking lies with their eyes open.

Wang Dong couldn't help frowning and said angrily: "Brother, be a person, you have to be conscientious. This tripod alone will be more than 100,000."

"This tripod?" Qi Xiang shook his head again: "Brother Dong, you are not a layman, but this tripod is actually not worth much..."

Wang Dong's anger surged to the Tianling Gai, and he forced himself back, and forced a smile: "Brother Qi, you are joking. This is an ancient cauldron, how could it be worthless?"

"The ancient cauldron is of course valuable, and it can even be called priceless." Qi Xiang sighed: "The problem is that if this thing is dug out by the state, it is valuable. In private hands, it cannot be put on the table, and can only admire it alone..."
