Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 398 Treasures on the Mountain

Back in the hall of Lao Feng's house, Lao Feng yelled as soon as he entered the door: "Master, we dug it, we really dug it." After finishing speaking, he grabbed the iron box from Lin Jiasheng's hand and asked, "Master, look What kind of object is this?"

Miaojie opened his eyes, glanced at it and said, "There should be a Jade Buddha inside. It's an object from the Tang Dynasty. If I'm not wrong, it's a fake. It should have been buried in it by a Kuomintang officer during the Nationalist period. How much is it worth?"

I pursed my lips, a hundred times in disbelief, thinking to myself, how could Lao Feng and the others be fooled by such a trick?
Lao Feng fiddled with it for a long time, but he didn't open the iron box, and there was no lock on it. The sides were very smooth, and there wasn't even a keyhole.

Lin Jiasheng also fiddled with it for a long time before he asked Miao Jie: "Master, look at this..."

Miao Jie reached out and took it, but she didn't know what method to use, just heard a click, the iron box was opened, and inside was a shiny green Jade Buddha, without any mud, under the light, it was crystal clear and beautiful to me. I don't know, but it looks really nice.There is also a letter under the Jade Buddha. When the letter is unfolded, it is a vertical traditional lowercase letter, which probably means that I am an officer of the national army and leave some treasures for my descendants.

Lao Feng and Lin Jiasheng admired Miao Jie so much that they couldn't put it down while holding the Jade Buddha.

I looked at Brother Zeng, and Brother Zeng shook his head, not quite understanding what was going on?
Lao Feng walked up to him with the Jade Buddha and said, "See it? Is it fake? Sometimes, we have to believe that there are so many strange people and strange things in this world that we ordinary people can't imagine or explain clearly. Yes. At first I was as skeptical as you are, but the facts have proved it all."

I looked at Miao Jie's smug expression, decided not to save face for him, and retorted: "That's it? I can do it too, haven't you ever seen magic transform people into living beings? How difficult is it to replace flowers with trees? If you draw a circle, there will be treasures. He has developed a long time ago, so he still looks for you? Even with a little brain, he knows."

Lin Jiasheng said bluntly: "Can you stop being so subjective? You believed that the master was a liar from the very beginning. Can you be more objective? Then draw a circle and show me if there are any treasures? These Treasure, I have someone appraised it, and it is exactly the same as the year the master said. I am not a fool, I have explored the underground soil, and it is indeed from that year. Can this be fake? The master is looking for someone who is destined , We can’t keep all these treasures for ourselves, some of them are used to do good deeds, and some are donated to the master’s temple for repairs.”

I cut it and said, "After all, it's not about money!"

Miao Jie still said with a smile on his face: "How about this, little friend, just point at any place on the map, and I'll tell you if there's anything there. If so, I'll tell you, what's there? How about it?"

When I heard it, I was stunned for a moment, thinking, can't I?This place is not small, he wouldn't bury it full of treasures, wouldn't he remember everything after burying it?I still didn't believe in that evil, so I just pointed at a random place, Miao Jie smiled and said, "There's nothing here!"

After pointing to three places, Miao Jie said nothing, I understood now, it’s just waiting for me to point to the place where he buried good things, and then he said it, how difficult it is, I’m a little impatient.

At this time, Lao Feng came over, seemingly pointing to the place by the way, and said, "Master, is there anything here?"

Miao Jie looked at it and said: "It seems that the donor is destined, here are, here is a string of beads left by the Buddha, a total of 81 beads."

I snorted coldly and thought to myself, this old Feng seems to be with this Taoist priest, this is to cheat the Lin family of money!

I didn't even want to look at it, so I pointed to another place by the way, Miao Jie narrowed his eyes, pinched his fingers and counted, after a while, he seemed to have spent a lot of effort and said: "There is something here, there must be something .It should be a ceramic bowl from the late Qing Dynasty."

I thought to myself, can't it be such a coincidence?This made me point it out, and with doubts, I went to dig again.This time Miaojie went with us, found the place, and started digging. After digging for more than an hour, Mao didn't see it. I snorted and said, "Where's the bowl? You forgot to bury it?"

Miao Jie still had an inscrutable expression. The moment I turned around, Lao Feng shouted: "Dug it out!" I clearly saw that Lao Feng took out a bowl from his arms, just about to scold me. Old Feng, Lin Jiasheng next to me suddenly pulled me, I immediately understood and waited to see Lao Feng's performance.

Old Feng held a black bowl full of mud in his hand, and said with a smile: "How is it? I have nothing to say this time?"

I said with a stiff expression: "I really let you talk, you are amazing!"

Everyone laughed and walked in front, and Lin Jiasheng who was walking in the back suddenly shouted: "There seems to be something inside!"

Everyone stopped and looked back.Lin Jiasheng stood beside the big pit, pointing into it.

I walked over first and took a look at the bottom of the pit with a flashlight. Right at the place I just dug, a piece of red cloth was exposed. I couldn’t see it unless I looked carefully. I hurriedly jumped into the pit and reached out to grab it. The piece of red cloth was pulled out without much effort. The red cloth was wrapped with a few yellow and orange gold bars. They were really gold bars, which shocked me.

I hurriedly picked up the gold bar, regardless of cleanliness, and bit it with my teeth. It was really a genuine gold bar.

I cursed: "I'm X, right? This place used to be where He Shen lived?"

Lao Feng and the others ran over, looking at the yellow and orange gold bars, everyone was smiling. I observed Miao Jie's expression, it seemed that he couldn't believe it either.

Old Feng said hastily: "Keep digging, there may still be more here, this time we really found the treasure."

So, the few of us dug until it was almost dawn, and there were no more treasures.

Dragging his tired body, he returned to Lao Feng's house and fell asleep.

After waking up, a few of them ate something hastily, and they all thought about digging for gold bars in high spirits.

Only Li was always sober, and kept reminding me next to me: "A Fei, wake up, how could such a good thing happen in the world, why are you insane?"

I said seriously: "This is what I witnessed with my own eyes. It's still fake. Are these gold bars real? Do you know how much these gold bars are worth? It's impossible for an old man to spend such a big cost, right?" ? Sometimes, I really have to trust my fate!"

Miao Jie still put on an inscrutable expression, but her face was much more confident than yesterday.

He said to me kindly: "Little friend, do you think my words are credible?"

I shook my head and said: "Half faith, although there was a bowl under there yesterday, you didn't say that there were gold bars under it. If I can find gold bars again today, I will believe you. Why don't you tell me your true identity?" What's the purpose? Let's not speak secretly, so that I can trust you!"

Miao Jie still shook his head and said: "Little friend, you have to trust me, I have no purpose, but this benefactor Feng and I are destined, he is very rich, he is a lucky star, although I am a monk, but there is no such thing as all four things are empty. If you want to live a better life, benefactor Feng will not treat me badly if he has money."

I didn't believe his words, so I said, "Then let me ask you, since you know there are treasures in this place, why don't you dig them yourself and insist on giving them to us?"

Miaojie explained: "It's not that I don't want to dig, it's just that if I dig by myself, my life will be lost. The secrets of heaven should not be revealed. I have the talent given to me by the heavens, and it is for me to benefit others. If I enjoy this alone Good news, I will be punished."

I groaned, thinking I still wouldn't tell the truth.

In the next few days, the few of us did nothing, but started to dig treasures all over the mountains and plains. We dug up a lot of things one after another. We don’t know if it’s worth it or not, but most of the wonderful rings can tell one, two, three. , some of which he doesn't even know what they are.

I counted, and about a dozen objects were dug up, including a lot of copper coins and gold bars.There are also calligraphy and paintings and ancient books.

I figured it out, if everything in it is true, it would be worth at least tens of millions.

It is said that rich people are different from ordinary people and do not have so much greed. Let me tell you, it is wrong!Big mistake!Human greed is endless, especially what can be easily obtained without labor, which is more tempting than earning money steadily.

Not only was my heart moved, even Brother Zeng, who has always been calm, is not calm now. These are not one or two things, but more than a dozen.

After reaping the results of the day, Lao Feng sat down and said to everyone: "I don't think we can dig like this. Why don't we sell the whole mountain and find someone to dig it? It's definitely worth the money."

What did I immediately think of Lao Feng's proposal?Immediately looking at Miao Jie's expression, he didn't see his smug smile, but frowned tightly, and then persuaded: "I don't think it's necessary, after all, this mountain is so big, there are still several families, that is, If you are willing to sell it, we can’t afford to pay. The things are almost dug up, so I think everyone should stop.”

Old Feng said unwillingly: "Master, is there really no treasure here?"

Miao Jie nodded and said: "That's all, everything should be done in moderation."

Old Feng still believed in Miaojie, so he agreed.

Lin Jiasheng remained silent and did not express his opinion.Brother Zeng and I naturally don't have that strength, so we can only obey everyone's wishes.

As a result, after another day of digging, the treasure was still unearthed.Now even Miaojie is not calm anymore, he doesn't seem to have expected that there are so many treasures.

I took the two items that Lao Feng gave me, and I was going back to Zhuhai. I wasted too much time here, and I still have a lot of business to do.Before I walked out of Lao Feng's villa, I was called back by Lin Jiasheng, and then a group of people sat in the room, and Lao Feng spoke first: "There are no outsiders here, they are all our own people. I have an immature idea!"

After finishing speaking, he laughed out loud.
