After Teacher Qiao, Ming and Lao looked at the Jade Ganoderma for a while, they stopped sighing and began to identify the ancient artifacts placed in the secret vault one by one.
Doing this kind of thing requires not only profound knowledge and rich experience, but most importantly, excellent character.
Qiao Shijiao and Ming Lao almost made their living by appraising the artifacts for the Bank Office, and they also signed a contract. If anything goes wrong, the Bank Office will hold them accountable.
When Zhang Yu came in, he didn't sign any contract, and no one came to ask him what to do, not for any other reason than because he was a Xia Shi.
From the bank's point of view, if the identity of Xia Shi can be used alone to discuss the value, the sum of all the items in the secret library cannot be compared. Therefore, even if there is a problem with Qiao Shijiao and Ming Lao, Zhang Yu will not
There will be problems.
As each piece of artifact is identified, time is slowly passing by.
Most of the time, Teacher Qiao and Mr. Ming were busy working.
Zhang Yu just watched from the side and did not speak. However, although he stood there motionless, Wang Zheng, Qiao and Ming all took it for granted.
In their view, Zhang Yu was a Xia scholar, an ancient naturalist, and a profound Taoist cultivator. Naturally, there was no need to work for him on relatively easy tasks. Unless he encountered some difficulties and uncertain things, he would
I'll come and give him an appraisal.
Qiao and Ming are indeed somewhat capable. Not only can they quickly identify the origins of artifacts, they can also accurately estimate a rough price. One of them talks and the other records, sometimes taking turns, and their movements are quick and precise.
It's accurate and works well with each other.
However, this good atmosphere was broken when a wooden carving of a horse moved to Lu was appraised.
Ming Lao believed that this thing was re-carved and modified by later generations using the wood carvings of their predecessors. The original one might have been worth a few dollars, but now it has little value.
However, Master Qiao disagreed. He believed that this was an ancient relic, and the many traces on it were just due to immature skills and backward tools. This happened to truly reflect the primitive roughness and was still very valuable for collection.
The two of them each had their own reasons, so they couldn't argue. In the end, they had to ask Zhang Yu to come forward to judge.
Zhang Yu noticed this wooden sculpture just now. He didn't take it, but relied on Superman's first-class sense to reconstruct the truth from every detail.
He said: "Both of your judgments are correct. When this thing was first carved, the original owner used stone tools. The work was completed at least two thousand years ago. Although the original owner was very careful in carving, the original finished product was very rough.
, it can be said that it is not worth mentioning.
Later generations simply ground away a few points with metal tools on the old basis. This not only retained the original rough appearance, but also made the wood carving full of aura. It can be said that it turned decay into magic. Later, the carver was called
He is a master, and this is something worth collecting."
When making his judgment, he took a pen and drew the rough shape of the original wood carving, and also pointed out the altered positions on the wood carving.
After seeing it, Qiao and Ming couldn't help but feel enlightened, and at the same time they were also very convinced of him.
Wang Zhengyi also nodded, feeling secretly proud in his heart.
It was his idea to ask Zhang Yu to come here for appraisal, and now it seems that this is the right thing to do.
And he also thought that if Zhang Yu agreed, then he would take out the latter's picture and put it up for auction, so that the price would definitely be raised a bit higher.
After such an incident, whenever they encountered difficult problems during the subsequent appraisals, Qiao and Ming would come over to ask for advice. Zhang Yu always gave accurate suggestions and judgments, which impressed them even more.
In just one summer, the three of them successfully appraised everything. Wang was in a good mood and invited them to drink tea in the tea room above.
Ming Lao sat down on the soft chair, stroked his beard and said: "There seem to be a lot more utensils this month, almost a hundred pieces, right? Although it has just been the Chinese New Year, there are usually only thirty or forty pieces."
Teacher Qiao also said: "Yes, I didn't realize it even if Mr. Ming didn't tell me."
Manager Wang smiled and said: "It's not surprising. Recently, a large amount of goods and military supplies have been transported to the north. There are rumors that the north is going to war again, so many businessmen are selling these things at low prices."
Teacher Qiao asked strangely: "With such news coming out, is there anyone buying the cloth?"
Wang Zheng took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Yes, why not? Someone will buy it." He put down the teacup and smiled, "As long as the Protectorate is still there, then there is nothing to worry about.
.”
Teacher Qiao seemed to have thought of something at this time. He put down the teacup heavily, snorted and said, "I was reading the newspaper today and saw an article written by Yao Hongyi, where he talked about the founding of the country."
Ming Lao said: "Isn't Yao Hongyi always like this? Just ignore him."
Teacher Qiao said: "This is what I'm angry about. Some people believe his tricks. If I were the acting director, I would have kicked this person out long ago, and it's his turn to lie there and confuse the public?"
Mr. Ming shook his head and said: "Teacher Qiao, how can I be someone of my own generation who can get involved? It's not without discussion and without merit. This is the wise way to protect yourself."
Teacher Qiao turned to look at Wang Zhenggan and said, "Wang Zhenggan, what do you think?"
Wang was helpless and said: "It is up to the princes of the capital to discuss matters in the capital. I work in a bank office, but I am just a person who looks after a money bag. What can I say?"
Zhang Yu didn't speak either. On the way here, he also read this morning's newspaper in the carriage. Before Yao Hongyi advocated the new rites, he had already encouraged the Duhufu to establish a country on his own. Although his remarks were
There is no mention of tearing down the beacon tower, but there is no doubt that this is the ultimate goal.
However, even if this person can be kicked out of the capital, it is not a solution to the problem. If the Shenwei Army and those subversive factions are not eliminated, there will still be another person who will stand up and advocate this.
He stood up at this time and said: "It's getting late, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
Wang Zhijun stood up quickly and said: "Then I will give Zhang Shijun a gift."
Zhang Yu nodded, said goodbye to Qiao and Ming, and walked out of the bank office with Wang Zhizhi seeing him off.
At this time, he looked at the sky and found that it was almost noon, and he had been staying in the bank office for nearly two summer hours.
However, before walking out of the secret vault, he had already absorbed all the source energy in the Jade Ganoderma lucidum. He was almost able to observe and read the divine energy of the two seals, which was considered a moderate gain.
He found that as his strength increased, the speed of absorbing source energy also increased accordingly, and this was without damaging the equipment. If it were changed before, he might not be able to absorb it completely even after a day of busy work.
After taking a look at the lively scene at the port in front of him, he walked down the steps and did not turn back to the academy. Instead, he took a carriage and drove all the way to the south of the city. After exiting the city gate, he walked through the air and came to a mound in the east.
.
He took out a bone whistle from his sleeve and flicked it into the sky. The object reached a high altitude and made a sharp whistle.
After a long time, the object fell and he caught it.
Because this trip will lead to that lost place, and the senior Su Yang mentioned by Tao Dingfu also died in this battle, so he thought of calling his people to go with him to see if he could help him find it.
That inheritance of Taoism.
Moreover, his senior brother has also been to the hinterland of Anshan, and his strength is sufficient. If the two of them join forces, they can handle most dangers.
But he waited here for a long time, but never saw Tao Dingfu.
He thought for a while and remembered that Tao Dingfu said that he had to leave Ruiguang City for a period of time to do something last time. It was very likely that he had not returned at this time. If that was the case, then he would be the only one to go there this time.
If you can find that place, you can find a chance to tell them.
When he thought to this point, he escaped and turned around again.
After noon, he returned to the academy, but instead of going to his residence, he came directly to Xuanfu. Soon after, he appeared in the affairs hall.
Xiang Chun has been waiting for news from him for the past two days. When he saw his arrival, he immediately stood up, held his hands in front of him as a gift, and then asked: "Junior Brother Zhang, how is the matter? Is there any progress?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand and bowed in return, saying: "I have translated and read all the secret scrolls. If there are no errors in the secret scrolls, then I almost know the approximate location of the lost place."
Xiang Chun looked slightly relaxed and said, "That's good."
He thought for a while, took out a map of the Protector's Mansion from the side drawer, spread it out on the case, and said: "Junior brother Zhang, come and see, from the location you inferred, can you point out
Where is it?"
Zhang Yu looked at it and said: "When you really get to that place, you still need to sense the spirit and follow the directions of the secret scroll to see that place, but as for the general range..."
He looked around Anshan, drew a big circle with his finger, and said, "It's about this location."
Xiang Chun took a closer look and found that this area was already very deep into the Anshan Mountains, and the area delineated by Zhang Yu on the map was actually an area so large that it was powerless.
He sighed secretly, raised his head and said: "Junior Brother Zhang, apart from you, the only people in Xuan Palace who can fly are me and Junior Brother Dou. But in the current situation, neither he nor I can escape. This matter
I can only rely on you."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "I know. I will tidy up a little after I go back and set off tomorrow."
Xiang Chun solemnly warned: "Then you must be careful. If you encounter the worst result, you can protect yourself first. There is no road ahead. As long as people are still there, you can think of a solution after you come back."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves, saluted, and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xiang. I will be careful."
