I didn't even have a girlfriend, so I had to live alone for the rest of my life. This was worse than the evil star! I was almost desperate, but at this moment, Wen Qingshan suddenly let out a "puff" laugh.
I was stunned for a while before I realized that I had been tricked by him!
I didn't expect that the always serious Wen Qingshan would make such a joke. I said angrily: "Boss Wen! How could you do this!"
Wen Qingshan then smiled and said: "Okay, okay! I won't scare you anymore! The matter is not as serious as you think. As far as I know, the Shandong Poison King I just mentioned married a wife later.
After giving birth, your daily life is no different from ordinary people. Moreover, you also said that the doctor has not detected toxins in your blood, so you don’t need to worry too much. In my opinion, the toxins in your body will not harm people.
Make an impact.”
After hearing what he said, I felt a little more at ease, but I was still a little uneasy. However, I couldn't verify for a while whether it would affect other people, so I could only think about the good things first.
When they left Wen Qingshan's house and returned to school, everyone was talking about Sun Zhengmin. They didn't know where they heard the news, saying that Sun Zhengmin colluded with tomb robbers and stole cultural relics from Huangtuling ancient tombs.
The spoils were unevenly divided and they were brutally murdered by tomb robbers.
When the three guys in the dormitory saw that I was back, they immediately surrounded me and eagerly asked me about the real situation that had happened.
Since the information involved was confidential, I couldn't tell them too much. I only revealed a few points to them: First, Sun Zhengmin's body was indeed found in the ancient tomb. Second, the Huangtuling ancient tomb had indeed been stolen.
They wanted to continue asking for more information, so I excused them on the grounds that the police were investigating.
A few days later, it was the weekend and I had nothing to do, so I planned to go to the antique market.
I have no interest in antiques. I went to the antique market just to see if I could find a suitable Feng Shui compass. Although the Feng Shui compass passed down to me by my master still works, it was attacked by corpse crickets in the ancient tomb last time.
, that Feng Shui compass was accidentally bumped, which made me feel distressed for a long time. After all, it was passed down by the master.
I don’t want to see any damage to this relic, so I plan to treasure it and get another Feng Shui compass for use. Although there are many types of Feng Shui compasses on the market, most of them are handicrafts and may not really be able to detect the yin and yang aura.
In my opinion, the efficacy is more reliable if it is older.
In fact, if you want to buy an authentic Feng Shui compass, Gu Yuan Pavilion has to sell it. But if I go to Gu Yuan Pavilion, I don’t think Wen Qingshan will take my money. He might just give me one as a gift. He is always bothering him, and I feel a little regretful.
So I decided to go to the antique market and have a look, maybe I can find something suitable.
However, I am not good at antiques, and I was worried about buying fakes, so I told Fatty Niu and asked him to accompany me. He is a close disciple of Wen Qingshan, and he can now be regarded as a semi-expert in antiques.
.
There are several antique markets in Xiangsha City, the largest of which is Qingshuitang Antique Street.
Qingshuitang Antique Street is located near the Municipal Museum, just a few minutes away from Wen Qingshan's home, so I rushed to Wen Qingshan's home first, called Fatty Niu, and headed to the Antique Street together.
Fatty Niu was already very familiar with the area. He led me through two alleys and arrived at the intersection of Antique Street. When I looked up, I saw a large archway standing there - Qingshuitang Antique Market. Walking into the street
mouth, I was immediately shocked by the scene in front of me. What kind of antique street was this? It was simply a free market street. Both sides of the narrow street were filled with street stalls. You could buy anything. But the main ones were...
Mainly various handicrafts.
I was dazzled for a moment. Fatty Niu seemed to be very familiar with this place. He turned to me and said: "Boss, the stalls outside are all about buying gadgets. If you want to buy real antiques, you have to go there."
Walk inside."
I nodded and let him lead the way, and we walked along the street.
Not far away, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark blue compass with loess stained on it placed on a street stall. My eyes lit up and I immediately walked over.
I squatted down, picked up the compass and took a closer look. This Yang Gongpan, at first glance, seemed to be made of bronze, but it was different from the compass passed to me by my master, which was also made of bronze.
The color seems a bit too green, but in my opinion, it may be because this compass has been buried in the soil for a long time.
Seeing that I was looking at it very carefully, the stall owner immediately came over and said, "Brother, you are really discerning. This thing was dug out from an ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty. It is definitely genuine!"
I glanced at him and ignored him. I turned to Fatty Niu and said, "Fat Niu, help me take a look."
Fatty Niu took the compass, looked at it carefully for a while, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He handed the compass back to me and said, "It's a fake. Bronze was rarely used in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, this thing was made with chemicals."
It’s corroded, and it still smells like potion!”
When the stall owner heard this, his face suddenly changed slightly. Without saying anything, he snatched the compass back from my hand and placed it on the stall again. He said angrily: "Since I don't like it,
, just don’t touch it!”
I stood up, glanced at Fatty Niu, and said in surprise: "You are not a bad boy. In just half a year, you have developed a sharp eye. You can tell the truth from the lies at a glance."
Fatty Niu seemed a little embarrassed by my praise. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "Haha, it's easy to identify! Boss, you'd better not expect to find anything real at the street stalls, so follow me."
bring it on!"
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you then! Lead the way!"
Fatty Niu led me to continue walking forward.
After walking for a while, I saw that there were almost identical Feng Shui compasses placed on several street stalls. It suddenly dawned on me that these things were all mass-produced!
In order to give me a general understanding of the antique market, Fatty Niu introduced me to it along the way. He said that Xiangsha City is a thousand-year-old city. There were so many antiques excavated in the past, so the antique market was once very prosperous, with people all over the country and even the world.
Antique collectors from all over the world come to Xiangsha City to collect goods. However, in recent years, because few new large ancient tombs have been discovered,
At the same time, the state has also regulated the sale of cultural relics. Only if you have obtained the corresponding qualifications and can explain the source of the cultural relics can you open an antique store to sell antiques. Moreover, if you sell national second-class cultural relics or above, you must file a record with the cultural relics department. Therefore,
Nowadays, there are only five or six companies in the antique street that actually deal in antiques, and the remaining 90% of the items sold are imitations.
As we talked, we came to a shop. Fatty Niu stopped and turned to me and said, "My master took me to this shop before. I remember that there seemed to be ancient compasses for sale here.
Let’s go in and take a look.”
I looked up and saw a plaque hanging on the door of the shop, with three large gold characters engraved on it - Han and Tang Fang. There was also a couplet at the door: "Xia Ding, Qin Bricks, Zhao Guobi, Tang Poems, Jin Characters and Han Articles."
I followed Fatty Niu into the store. This store is not too big, with an area of about fifty or sixty square meters. Compared with Guyuan Pavilion in Wenqingshan, it is not a little bit worse. But the decoration in the store is quite good.
, the tables, chairs and counters are all made of high-quality wood, exuding a light wood fragrance and quite a retro feel.
The business in the store seemed to be pretty good. A few customers were haggling with the store owner. I went over and took a look. It turned out that someone had taken a fancy to a porcelain vase. Good guy, the store owner actually offered a price of 100,000 yuan. I couldn't help but feel excited.
I have to back off, a vase costs so much, so how much does the compass I want to buy cost?
While I was thinking about it, Fatty Niu gently tugged on my clothes and said, "Boss, the compass you want is over there!"
Looking in the direction pointed by Fatty Niu, there were actually several Feng Shui compasses placed on the counter in the corner of the store. I hurried over and looked in through the glass counter. There were really all kinds of things.
In terms of materials, they are made of bronze, brass and wood, and the types are also divided into three yuan disks, three combined disks and comprehensive disks. Although each compass is relatively old and has some defects on it, overall
It's quite delicate, and it's obviously been carefully processed.
"Fat Niu, are these genuine?"
Fatty Niu said: "It should be, this store generally does not sell imitation goods, let the boss take them out later and have a look."
I nodded.
Those customers and the store owner failed to negotiate the price in the end, and left very disappointed. The store owner walked towards us, and he recognized Fatty Niu at a glance, with a surprised expression on his face: "Huh?
Aren't you the little brother who came with Boss Wen last time?"
Fatty Niu obviously had no experience in dealing with people, so he seemed a little restrained and stammered: "He...he is my master."
The shop owner smiled and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my shop today?"
I quickly said: "I want to buy a Feng Shui compass. My friend said the products in your store are genuine, so let's come over and take a look."
The shop owner was stunned for a moment, glanced at Fatty Niu, and said with a smile: "Haha, are you kidding me? If you want to buy a Feng Shui compass, you don't go to Guyuan Pavilion and come to me to buy it?"
I was about to explain when I heard a slight cough behind me. I turned around and saw a man standing in front of the store. This man's clothes were a little strange. Although it was already the beginning of autumn, the weather was still very hot and most people were
He was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but this guy was wearing a black long-sleeved jacket, a sun hat with an extremely low brim, and a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. Covering himself so tightly, it seemed
As if he was afraid that others would see his face.
