The reason why Xu Ping had this conjecture was because the appearance of ghost jade was not that easy.
Generally, the appearance of ghost jade is usually caused by the burial objects absorbing too much yin energy in the tomb, thus growing out.
The beautiful woman named Zhou Lianqing has already left the provincial capital and gone to Hong Kong Island.
But the maid Xiaocui was left behind and was singing her tears in the police station jail.
When Wang Hongguang heard what Xu Ping said, he immediately thought of her.
During the previous interrogation, I learned from her mouth that someone contacted her and offered her many benefits to introduce the piece of ghost jade to Zhou Lianqing.
She didn't know the origin of the ghost jade. As for the middleman, she learned from the maid Xiaocui that she had indeed met this ancient jade in Xiguan Antique City.
The two immediately went to the police station. The maid Xiaocui was imprisoned by Wang Hongguang for murdering her master.
After an interrogation, Xiaocui no longer concealed anything and revealed the origin of the ghost jade in response to Xu Ping's lies.
The middleman met at a Gufangzhai in Xiguan Antique City.
His name is Wang Dashi, and he is the shopkeeper of Gufangzhai.
As for the real owner behind it, Xiaocui has never had contact with it and doesn't know it.
As soon as Xu Ping and Wang Hongguang got together, they went straight to Gufangzhai, pretending to be tourists buying jade.
Gufangzhai.
Located in the small alley on the west side of Xiguan Antique City, the place is very remote, and generally few tourists come here.
When Xu Ping and Wang Hongguang arrived here, it was still noon.
Suddenly, being in such a quiet alley on the antique street where people were coming and going, Wang Hongguang couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why would someone open a shop in a place like this? How could it be so popular?"
Xu Ping walked over first and said with a smile: "The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Maybe this store has other sales channels."
When Wang Hongguang heard this, he lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, this store might be trying to deceive others?"
Xu Ping smiled slightly: "You'll know after you take a look."
With that said, the two walked into the antique shop.
Upon entering, I saw that this store is basically similar to most antique stores, with rows of glass cabinets displaying various objects.
Looking around, there are porcelain vases, calligraphy and paintings, jade and jade.
Behind the counter, there was a shopkeeper sitting, with a goatee, about fifty years old.
The shopkeeper was leaning on his chair, squinting and dozing off, with a teapot at hand.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes, saw the two people in front of him, and stood up enthusiastically: "You two are just taking a look, what do you want to buy?"
Xu Ping glanced at the counter and found no ghost jade, so he asked: "We two brothers want to buy some jade to wear. I wonder if the shopkeeper has any recommendations?"
"oh?"
The shopkeeper came out from the counter to welcome him, "Then you have come to the right place. I just don't know if you two want to seek wealth, pray for blessings, or... drive away evil spirits?"
Just as Wang Hongguang was about to speak, Xu Ping stopped him and said, "Is this important? Well... I'd also like to ask the shopkeeper to help introduce it. Price is not an issue."
He acted like a layman, causing the shopkeeper to mistakenly think that the two of them were taken advantage of.
The kind that makes people easy to steal because they have too much money.
Hearing what Xu Ping said, the shopkeeper's eyes shone brightly and he was sharpening his knife: "As the saying goes, a man wears Guanyin and a woman wears Buddha. If the two of them are praying for blessings and shelter, this gold-inlaid jade statue of Guanyin is quite good. The price is
It’s not expensive, only a thousand dollars.”
"Well, if it is to attract wealth and ward off evil spirits, then Wang will recommend this obsidian Pixiu to you two. Moreover, it has been personally consecrated by a skilled master and blessed for seven days and seven nights. It can attract wealth and ward off evil spirits. It has endless wonderful uses."
"Um……"
"It's just that the price is a little high, one costs two thousand yuan."
When Wang Hongguang heard this, he shouted directly: "You are just trying to steal money. For two thousand yuan, I can buy a house in the provincial capital."
Nowadays, the housing prices in the provincial capital are not that expensive. For two thousand yuan and about 400,000 soft sister coins, you can indeed buy real estate in the provincial capital.
The shopkeeper obviously did this often, and he didn't talk nonsense. He smiled and explained: "This customer, the items sold in our store have been authenticated by masters and have certificates as proof."
"And this obsidian Pixiu is from the previous dynasty, so it's naturally expensive."
If it were all at this price, it would be impossible for Aunt Zhang to afford it.
Xu Ping also echoed and asked: "The price is indeed a bit high, is there anything cheaper?"
The shopkeeper showed a hint of displeasure in his voice, but as an experienced businessman, it only passed away briefly and he covered it up well.
People who are in this business basically rely on what people say.
If some foreign devils are coming, I'm afraid there will be at least one zero added to the price.
"Yes, there is, but the stuff isn't that good. I'll show it to you two." With that said, the shopkeeper returned to the counter and took out a brocade box.
The box was placed in front of the two of them, and the shopkeeper opened it directly. Lying quietly inside was a ring of white jade, which was completely shiny and looked quite good.
However, both Xu Ping and Wang Hongguang changed their colors slightly, because when the other opened the brocade box, a black air that could not be distinguished by the naked eye flashed away.
Qi gazing!
Xu Ping took a closer look and found that this piece of white jade was also filled with Yin Qi, but it did not breed nightmares, unlike the two pieces he had seen before.
Although the color and texture are the same, they are essentially different.
"You two, this jade is sold in our store at a low price, just eight hundred yuan." The shopkeeper said with a smile.
Xu Ping and Wang Hongguang looked at each other, and the former said directly: "This piece of jade is not bad, but you only have one piece of jade, and how can I divide it between my two brothers?"
The shopkeeper's face was troubled, but also a little regretful: "To be honest, this is the only piece of jade left in our store. There were two pieces before, but they have all been sold."
Sure enough, he had come to the right place. Xu Ping was determined and stopped pretending. He asked directly: "Who bought the jade before, and where did you get this jade?"
"Crack!"
The shopkeeper's expression changed, he covered the brocade box directly, and looked at the two of them warily: "Who are you?"
"We are..." Wang Hongguang was about to reveal his identity, but unexpectedly, there was a rush of footsteps behind him, accompanied by a shout:
"Boss Wang, please let Mr. Gu..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a customer in the store and the shouts of visitors stopped abruptly.
Xu Ping heard the voice seemed familiar and turned to look.
The person who came was tall and thin with a mustache. Seeing Xu Ping's face, he was startled and said, "Hey, Mr. Xu, why are you here?"
Fatty Hu had a surprised look on his face and looked calmly at Shopkeeper Wang behind the two of them, only to find that he had a wary look on his face, and his face could not help but become a little more solemn.
"There are so many places in life where we don't meet each other, Brother Hu."
Fatty Hu was startled for a moment, and then he said with enthusiasm: "This proves that I, Fatty Hu, and Mr. Xu are destined to be together. Well... Mr. Xu wants to pick something?"
With that said, he walked up to the counter and glanced at the brocade box in Shopkeeper Wang's hand. The smile on his face did not diminish. Although he wanted to ask questions, he seemed unusually calm.
Wang Hongguang looked at the person who suddenly arrived, then at Xu Ping beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know him?"
Xu Ping pretended to suddenly realize, and introduced the two of them: "Let me introduce you to this person, who is also a Feng Shui master. His name is Wang Gang. He is a good friend that I, Xu Bayi, have made in the past few days..."
He gave his false name and reminded Wang Hongguang, who immediately understood and smiled to show his understanding.
"And this... is the famous Colonel Mojin, Fatty Hu."
When Fatty Hu heard Xu Ping's introduction, the man next to him was also a Feng Shui master. He couldn't help but feel happy, "It turns out to be Mr. Wang. I'm disrespectful."
If you touch the gold captain, don't you mean you are a tomb robber?
Wang Hongguang looked down on such people, but he didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Ping was selling, so he smiled and held his hands in his hands, and stopped talking, so as not to make mistakes by talking too much.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Fatty Hu's face. After thinking for a moment, he asked directly, "Mr. Xu, I don't know what you came here to see."
Shopkeeper Wang leaned into Fatty Hu's ear and whispered a few words.
Seeing this, Xu Ping smiled lightly: "Brother Hu, I think you also have a stake in this store."
Most of those who work in the field have fixed sales channels, and some powerful ones even hold the sales channels firmly in their own hands.
Without middlemen, you will naturally have more money in your hands.
Fatty Hu did not answer directly, but took the brocade box from Shopkeeper Wang and handed it out directly, "Since Mr. Xu wants it, then I will make the decision. I will give this to you, Mr. Xu."
"No reward for no merit, how can I accept it..." This piece of white jade has only Yin Qi and no nightmares, so it is useless to come. Xu Ping pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, I just want to know
, the origin of this jade.”
"Moreover, shopkeeper Wang just said that there are two similar pieces of white jade. I want to know who sold the other two pieces to respectively?"
This wave,
It's called pretending to be confused while trying to find out more clues.
When Fatty Hu heard this, he laughed out loud and said directly: "Mr. Xu, do you still remember what I told you before?"
Xu Ping asked: "Could it be that... it came out from there?"
Fatty Hu nodded: "Exactly."
No, it's definitely not that simple.
The kendama that I got from Zhou Lianqing must have been arranged by someone to sell it to her.
And the one I just discovered may not be that simple.
If such a ghost jade can appear in the tomb, the big tomb must not be simple, and must be full of weirdness.
Xu Ping thought for a while, then used the Zhanzhan Qi Technique, and looked at Fatty Hu in front of him.
The Yintang turned black, and the black air was mixed with wisps of red threads.
This black energy is not an ominous omen, but a lingering yin energy, which is a normal phenomenon for underground workers like them.
But the yin energy is extremely strong, maybe it just came up from the earth.
The red line must be that many people died during this visit to the tomb.
After getting this information, Xu Ping became somewhat interested in the tomb that was said to be from the Warring States Period.
However, Fatty Hu and Shopkeeper Wang in front of them must not be completely trusted. If they use elusive magic at this time, it is very likely to arouse the enemy.
It would be better to go and take a look and find out who is behind the scenes and uses the ghost jade to murder others.
That person must also be in the circle.
After thinking about this, Xu Ping looked at Wang Hongguang next to him and said with a smile: "Hongguang, this Brother Hu once told me that there is a large tomb nearby with countless treasures in it, and there may even be magic weapons. I don't know.
Are you interested?"
When Wang Hongguang heard this, he knew what Xu Ping meant and hurriedly said: "Of course!"
When Fatty Hu heard this, he was ecstatic and told more information, "Hu is extremely grateful for the two of you being able to end..."
"To be honest, just a few days ago, I took several brothers to the tomb and suffered heavy casualties. Only one other brother and I survived, and he..."
Having said this, Fatty Hu looked at the two people in front of him, slapped his forehead, and said hurriedly: "I almost forgot about the business. Since the two gentlemen are Yin and Yang gentlemen, I don't know if they can remove the corpse poison. My brother was killed by the corpse."
I was bitten and was poisoned by corpse poison. I am in danger at this moment..."
"It's just corpse poison. Solving it is as easy as looking at the lines on the palm of your hand."
Xu Ping said disdainfully.
Fatty Hu was overjoyed, and quickly said hello and led the two of them to the small house he rented.
At the same time, the white jade containing yin energy was given to Xu Ping as a token of gratitude.
This time Xu Ping did not refuse and accepted it directly.
On the way, while Fatty Hu was looking for his car, Wang Hongguang asked in a low voice: "Brother Xu, why should we follow him to the grave..."
Grave robbing is illegal!
Xu Ping was speechless: "Didn't you hear that there is something strange in the tomb, and there might be someone behind Fatty Hu..."
As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "Don't you want to know who is eyeing your aunt?"
When Wang Hongguang heard this, he finally understood: "Hey, why didn't I think of that? It's true that there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days, but..."
"You care so much about my aunt. I will definitely tell her when I see her next time and let her thank you in person."
No, I haven't.
Xu Ping shook his head and was speechless. I just wanted to dig out some rewards from the weirdness of the tomb so that I could prepare for my plan to slay the dragon during the day.
…
In a remote and dark private house, Xu Ping met Fatty Hu's accomplices.
His dark yellow face was purple-red, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat. Although he was in a coma, he still twitched in pain from time to time.
Looking at the man lying on the bed, Xu Ping withdrew his Qi-gazing technique. Fatty Hu next to him looked anxious, "How is Mr. Xu? Can it be cured?"
In fact, those who work in their field have had many dealings with this kind of Feng Shui master.
There is one in Gufangzhai, but just now I heard shopkeeper Wang say that Mr. Gu is not in the store at this time.
Also wanting to test Xu Ping in front of him, Fatty Hu brought him over.
Xu Ping didn't answer his words, so how could he not see the intention of Fatty Hu.
With his right hand, he made a sword point and stabbed towards the figure lying on the bed from a distance.
A dazzling zhenqi burst out instantly and submerged into the man's body.
Instantly!
The person lying on the bed screamed in pain, vomited large amounts of black blood, and passed out again.
But the abnormal purple-red color on his face has disappeared, leaving him only pale due to his physical weakness.
Seeing this, Fatty Hu's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he felt a little excited. He had indeed seen the right person. Mr. Xu's moral character was indeed high enough.
But there was no worry in his eyes. Through this trip, he had a preliminary verification. No matter how high you are, can you still be stronger than a bullet?
