Chapter 440: The corpse bearer, the thirteen-bearded porcelain cat
This house is really exquisite. When I walked inside, I saw many antique toys displayed on the sandalwood shelves.
Enamel hibiscus, pheasant and jade ewers, spring vases, gold-painted purple sand square ewers, Doucai Gaoshi cups, these are all treasures. Just take them out and throw them at Panjiayuan, and they will knock down a large piece.
It is obvious that this Uncle Ming has been immersed in the antique industry for many years and has an extraordinary background in pricing!
Of course, compared with Lin Yi, there is still a shortfall of hundreds of millions.
After all, the treasures in Ji Yi's space ring are numerous, large and small.
There are many national treasures among them!
However, Ji Yi discovered something special in the room.
It was a fat porcelain cat with two round eyes, bright and energetic, but it didn't look like it came from a famous kiln, and the workmanship was mediocre, so it didn't seem to fit the style of the house.
The most conspicuous thing about a porcelain cat is its whiskers. For some reason, this porcelain cat actually has thirteen whiskers, which can be inserted and pulled out. The most delicate parts of the workmanship are concentrated here.
Thirteen-whiskered porcelain cat!
The corpse carrier!
In mountainous areas such as western Hunan, there have been two types of livelihoods: driving corpses and carrying corpses since ancient times.
Among them, "carrying corpses" is an activity similar to tomb robbing. People who carry corpses will have such a porcelain cat as a gift in their home.
Before each activity, a stick of incense must be burned and a few kowtows must be made to the thirteen-whiskered porcelain cat. If during this period, the porcelain cat's whiskers fall off or break, the cat must not go out at night. This is a sign of disaster.
.
It is said that everything can be tried and tested, and it has become so popular among the people. Nowadays, no one does the business of carrying corpses!
In the Beijing-Tianjin area, starting from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were also people from other walks of life who worshiped porcelain cats. Those petty thieves all offered porcelain cats in their homes, but they all had nine whiskers and the styles were different.
"Thirteen beards" are only found in the homes of those who carry corpses in western Hunan. The origin of this custom cannot be verified to this day.
This Uncle Ming's ancestor must have been a giant thief in western Hunan, who specialized in carrying corpses and digging through cellars!
After a while, everyone saw Uncle Ming.
Uncle Ming is a man in his fifties, with a shrewd look in his eyes!
The two parties exchanged a few simple greetings and exchanged common words.
Uncle Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore and said frankly, "I actually want to buy a bronze mirror that can hold down corpses!"
i corpse-suppressing bronze mirror?
Lin Yi thought about it seriously, is there such a thing in the tomb of King Xian?
To be honest, I can say that the treasures in King Xian's tomb are treasures of his own, but this corpse-suppressing bronze mirror really doesn't exist!
However, soon, Ji Yi sounded!
In the tomb of King Xian, there is indeed a bronze mirror that suppresses corpses!
However, that broken thing is not a treasure. It has been shattered when the coffin is broken...
It’s useless!
The corpse-suppressing bronze mirror can calm ordinary zongzi, but when it comes to powerful zongzi, it will be just like that.
It's like trying to use a corpse-suppressing bronze mirror to suppress corpses. I'm afraid they will be killed!
It's worse than the corpse-killing charm written by myself!
If the King of Qin looked in the bone mirror, Lin Yi might still be interested.
Lao Hu also raised his voice and asked, "Boss Ming, can I ask, what do you want the corpse-suppressing bronze mirror for?"
Uncle Ming opened the photo album, which was full of various coffins. The lids of the coffins were all opened, revealing the mummies inside. They were all of different ages and styles.
Some have one coffin and one corpse; there are also two corpses lying on their sides facing each other, which is a couple who share a coffin; there are even dozens of mummies gathered in a huge coffin, all covered with transparent cabinets to isolate the air.
To say it is a private collection is more like an exhibit placed in an exhibition hall.
Uncle Ming said freely, "To be honest, my business is the business of dumping corpses! Foreigners like to preserve intact corpses, thinking that they are cultural relics that solidify the beauty of eternal death! And I know that there is an ancient corpse.
She died of a strange disease and turned into a glacier crystal corpse after her death. She was considered a miracle, so she was sealed and buried in a snowy mountain with a nine-story demon tower. There are even some mentions in the scriptures
Concrete clues as to the location of the tomb!”
Hearing Uncle Ming say this, the three Lin Yi brothers looked at each other.
Isn't this the information they have been looking for for a long time?!
Nine-story monster building!
Tomb clues!
That's exactly it!
Uncle Ming continued, "This thousand-year-old glacier crystal corpse is extremely cold and has a strong yin energy. If there is no Tibetan spiritual pagoda dedicated to Master Padmasambhava, ordinary people will die if they get close to it. To deal with that kind of thing, the rest will suppress the corpse."
I’m afraid all the items will be of no use. After thinking about it, maybe it’s possible to use that ancient mirror to carry her out of the nine-story monster building!”
Everyone understood what was going on and felt a little disappointed.
The ancient realm was already in pieces, and I didn't bring it out at that time, let alone trade with Uncle Ming.
When Uncle Ming saw a few people remaining calm, he thought they were not satisfied, so he continued, "Don't tell lies in front of real people. The bronze mirror that can restrain corpses and ward off evil spirits is a symbol of Legalism. It is said that it was made in
Ziyang Mountain can illuminate the four dimensions of propriety, justice, integrity and shame in the world."
"According to records, there was a corpse of a turtle in the Yellow River that made waves and capsized the ships. The King of Qin ordered people to hang this mirror at the mouth of the river and sent troops to guard it. Until the replacement of Qin and Han Dynasties, this ancient mirror fell into the hands of the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty. In the end, somehow it was lost again
It fell to Yunnan."
"There is no second ancient mirror in the world that can be mounted on a bronze coffin to restrain the transformation of corpses. Give it to me and I will never let you suffer."
Lao Hu and Fatty both looked at Ji Yi, not knowing what to say.
Business is good business, but it can't be traded.
The fat man's eyes flickered, looking a little sneaky.
When Lao Hu and Ji Yi saw it, they immediately knew what he wanted to say, so they nodded slightly at him.
When the two agreed, the fat man immediately patted his chest and said swornly, "To be honest, we did have the corpse-suppressing bronze mirror at the beginning, but then we encountered a big rice dumpling and crushed the corpse-suppressing bronze mirror, so we couldn't take it.
Come out! I think this way, our brothers will accompany you to the nine-story demon building and carry the glacier crystal corpse out! We don’t want more, two million..."
At this time, Fatty secretly looked at Ji Yi and Lao Hu.
Lao Hu nodded, but Ji Yi was a little speechless.
The layout is too small, brother~
Only two million?
The fat man pondered for a moment and said, "Well...two million as an advance payment! After the event is completed, another three million will be paid!"
