Not long after Zhang Xiaozu sat down in the lobby of the tavern, he heard a piece of bad news.
The two owners of Longfeng Villa will hold an appreciation meeting on the 1st of next month in order to celebrate the original body of Seo She, which has lifted their own ancient curse and regained their new life.
Invite heroes from all walks of life to the villa to enjoy the scenery, calligraphy and paintings.
The two owners had announced half a year ago that they would display their lifelong collection of calligraphy and paintings for everyone to appreciate, and sincerely invited heroes from all walks of life to bring their collections of paintings or their own masterpieces to appreciate each other.
.
A competition will be held to select the best work, and Longfeng Villa will reward the winner with a Dragon and Phoenix Pill.
Dragon Phoenix Divine Pill is a pill refined by Longfeng Villa itself.
It takes five years to refine a furnace, but only six will come out of each furnace.
Taking it can prolong your life, make your cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds, and suppress ancient curses to a certain extent.
Extremely precious.
Therefore, as soon as the announcement of Longfeng Villa was made, it caused an uproar in the world and attracted countless people from the world to flock to it.
But this appreciation conference is not accessible to everyone.
Either you have received an invitation letter from Longfeng Villa, you have a certain reputation in the world, or you have a painting worthy of elegance.
Those who do not stick to the three principles may not be able to enter the gate of Longfeng Villa.
When Zhang Xiaozu heard the news, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He has determined that Ye Mingyue was captured by the Master Feng of Longfeng Villa, but now Master Feng claims to have taken away the original body. If the object of her seizure is Ye Mingyue, it means that Ye Mingyue is already dead.
Zhang Xiaozu immediately decided to go to Longfeng Villa to confirm with his own eyes whether the owner of Feng Villa had taken Ye Mingyue's body.
However, he did not have an invitation letter, nor was he a famous person in the world. There were a few paintings and calligraphy paintings in the void space, but they could not be taken out because they were stolen by Liu Wuzhi. If he met someone from Liujiabao and was recognized, then
But he's dead.
Finally, he listened to the waiter's suggestion and went to the antique market in Hucheng to see if he could buy a good calligraphy and painting.
Affected by the appreciation conference, the antique market has been very busy in the past six months.
Especially in the days leading up to the conference, it is particularly lively.
There are quarrels and fights every day.
Because some people spent a lot of money to buy calligraphy and paintings, expecting that they could enter Longfeng Villa to participate in the appreciation meeting. However, when they went to Longfeng Villa to show them, they were thrown to the ground by the appraiser who stopped in front of the door, saying that they were
Fake.
But he didn't get through the door, and he lost face in public. You can imagine the anger in his heart.
I immediately went back to the antique market to confront the seller, but most of the sellers would not admit it.
Often they will just say "pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, the money and goods will be cleared, and I will not be responsible" to deal with it. Those who are more confident will directly say "Who do you blame for being wrong?"
The most powerful ones will even criticize the buyer, saying that the buyer took the genuine product and now wants to use the fake product to extort money.
Who can stand such anger, or start an argument with the seller on the spot, or take action directly.
But in the end, the winners are basically all sellers. First, because it is the rule of the antique industry to "buy and leave, money and goods are settled, no returns or exchanges." Second, because the sellers in the whole street are in the same group, and they look after each other.
.
If the buyer can't talk or fight, he can only admit that he is unlucky.
Unless there is a hard problem, the seller will apologize and admit his mistake.
Zhang Xiaozu is obviously not such a hard-nosed person, but he is not someone who will be easily deceived either.
Although he doesn't understand calligraphy and painting and can't distinguish between good and bad, with the help of his subtle state of mind, he can roughly tell whether calligraphy and painting are new or old.
Some of them, he could tell at a glance that they were deliberately old-fashioned.
But there were some that he thought were very amazing and were priceless treasures. But when he asked about the price, they turned out to be cabbage prices.
This gave him a headache.
After walking back and forth along the antique street, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind and he thought of a good idea.
It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of calligraphy and painting, but you can observe the seller's micro-expression with a subtle state of mind, and then judge the authenticity of the calligraphy and painting through the changes in the seller's micro-expression.
He simply did not ask the price of each stall, but found an inconspicuous corner, hugged Bai Hu and sat down. His subtle state of mind directly covered the entire antique street, including the shops on both sides of the street, and watched every boss.
Movements and expressions.
After observing it for three days, he finally locked onto a painting.
This painting is called Cang Yue.
The painting shows the aging back of an old man, under a bright full moon, on a lonely street late at night, with the shadow behind him stretching infinitely.
Very artistic.
This painting is not sold at a street stall, but is sold in a shop called Yayunzhai.
According to Zhang Xiaozu's observations over the past three days, the boss was particularly concerned about this painting and took good care of it.
And no matter whether it is a rich customer or a poor customer asking for a price, the price quoted by him is the same, fifteen Tongxuan Pills, even one less will not be sold.
And I guarantee that this painting will definitely work.
However, winning the championship is not guaranteed.
However, the price of fifteen Tongxuan Pills was on the high side. Many customers wanted to buy it, but felt it was not worth it. Seeing that the boss refused to let go and lower the price, they had no choice but to give up.
Zhang Xiaopeng can get fifteen Tongxuan Pills.
He grabbed more than thirty pills from Liu Wuzhi's void space. He took some while practicing with Bai Hu in the mountains a few days ago, and there are still twenty-two pills left.
It hurts to spend fifteen pieces to buy a painting, but if you can enter Longfeng Villa, you don't care whether you feel bad or not.
It's better than buying a fake one, spending money, but not even being able to enter the gate of Longfeng Villa.
After selecting the target, Zhang Xiaozu went straight to the store and quickly took out fifteen Tongxuan Pills to buy the scroll. The boss was so happy that he picked the big one directly at him.
Thumb, praise him for his vision.
"This stupid dick..."
"Looking at him working confidently for three days, I thought he would be very discerning, but this is what happened?"
"Tsk, tsk, fifteen Tongxuan Pills, I gave them away without blinking an eye."
"Master, I'm afraid you have hired a fool."
Fufeng, who had been paying attention to Zhang Xiaozu, was shocked by Zhang Xiaozu's choice.
In his opinion, this painting is not even worth a Tongxuan Pill.
Seeing Zhang Xiaopou take the painting and fly straight to Longfeng Villa, Fufeng could not continue to enjoy the beauty's service, dropped a handful of gold leaves and flew out of the window of a brothel.
"Sir, remember to find me next time you come here."
"I still have a lot of tricks to use. I promise to serve you comfortably."
"for free."
The beauties in the room rushed to the window and shouted urgently at Fufeng's disappearing figure.
She had never seen such a knowledgeable and handsome man, and she felt that this was the Prince Charming of her dreams.
If I could serve him for one night, it would be worth dying immediately.
Unfortunately…
She sighed quietly. Such an excellent man obviously disliked her unclean body. Otherwise, why had he stayed here for three days without touching her body.
"Hey, these little cuties are more heart-warming..."
When she turned her head and saw the dazzling gold leaves on the table, the gloom that had just gripped her heart was immediately swept away, and she couldn't help but smile.
