"The following announcement will be played, the former Highway Bureau..."

In a hotel, Liu Laodao and I watched the news on the local TV station, which reported the matter of Chen Tingshan's eldest son. Basically, the dust had settled and the Chen family was about to end.

Chen Tingshan's eldest son has committed a lot of crimes, including embezzlement and bribery, embezzlement of public funds, deception, keeping a mistress, and dozens of other crimes.

"Let's go, it's almost time, it's time to leave"

After watching the news, Liu Laodao shook his head. He didn't really like such trivial things. The Chen family deserved it.

I nodded, packed my luggage, went downstairs to the front desk to check out the room, and then went out with old man Liu.

"Don't go and see Chen Tingshan, it is said that he is hospitalized"

After going out, I said to Liu Laodao that the Chen family collapsed and separated, and Chen Tingshan didn't have the ability to turn the tide, and fell ill all of a sudden.

"We don't have the time, we have to go to an antique dealer and sell the turtle beads"

"Old man, where did you hide the turtle beads? I searched all night last night but couldn't find them. You promised to show me the world."

"If you have this spare time, it's better to learn about massage and loose bones. It's been a hundred days, I haven't forgotten it."

As soon as I said this, I immediately shut up. I'm so stupid. I bet Liu Laodao that I asked for it myself.

But Liu Laodao finally gave me a look at the turtle bead, a thumb-sized bead, blue in color, crystal clear and round, with a layer of flowing water on it, it looks very beautiful.

I really want to play with it, but Liu Laodao refused. Liu Laodao told me that there are not four turtle beads, only two, and two of them have been used by the old turtle for other purposes. Got it, Liu Laodao also refused to tell, I thought there are other stories in it.

And the remaining two are in Liu Laodao's hands now, but not all of them are ours. There is also a requirement for the old turtle to give it to Liu Laodao before leaving.

Just sell one of them and exchange it for money to support the Huang family brothers. Now that Huang Wenli is in prison, Huang Wenxin is also a bum in trouble, but their old Huang has a grandson. After selling the money, he has to leave it to grandson.

But turtle pearls are not so easy to sell, because most people don’t know what to buy. If you sell them as ordinary pearls, they will be worth 10,000+, which is already a very high price.

But in the eyes of people who know the goods, this turtle pearl is worth the old nose's money, and it is not a problem to double it by more than ten times. If the money is left to the Huang family, they will not be rich, but as long as they don't waste the money, it is enough for them Lived peacefully for decades.

So what we need now is to find an antique dealer who knows the goods, but this antique dealer is not so easy to find.

"Boy, let me ask you a question, why are antiques so valuable?"

On the way, Liu Laodao began to test me again and asked me such a question.

"It's worth money. It's been a long time. Rare things are more expensive. I heard that if Qin Shihuang's urinal could be kept, it would be worth 800 million now."

I replied casually, this is not what I said, it was what my history teacher said when I was studying, and that is how he introduced antiques to me.

"You, Liu Jinyang, if there are not so many people, I really want to throw you under the car"

When Liu Laodao heard this, he was so angry that he almost hit me.

"Master, calm down, haha, don't be as knowledgeable as me, I'm only too old, I don't understand, you can't teach me."

I quickly lowered my eyebrows and coaxed the old man, don't lift it at this time, I will be thrown under the car by him.

"That's right, why am I angry with you little bastard? It's fine. The reason why antiques are valuable is because one object is condensed..."

Liu Laodao began to talk to me about why antiques are valuable.

Liu Laodao said that the value of antiques is actually a fictitious concept. The long time and the rarity of things are certainly a factor in the value of antiques, but they occupy a very small part, such as ancient bricks and tiles, which are not preserved in modern times. More, why is it worthless.

Therefore, for an antique to be very valuable, there must be many factors, such as some historical significance, things used by celebrities, some cultural factors, such as some calligraphy and painting, and of course, some things that are originally valuable, such as jade jewelry and so on. .

There are too many topics about antiques. If we really want to talk about them seriously, ten days and a half months are not enough. What Liu Laodao wants to talk about is not these. What he wants to talk about today are some special antiques.

The so-called special antiques naturally have some special functions. For example, a piece of jade has been buried in an ancient tomb for thousands of years. That jade will absorb some earth or corpse energy. This kind of jade is very unlucky for ordinary people. Wearing something on the body will only bring disaster to people, but some people can make it play a greater role.

There are also some murder weapons, such as the rope used by the dead. If this rope has aroused the resentment before the hanging, then this is not an ordinary rope.

The antique dealers who bought these antique objects are also special among the group of antique dealers. This group of people is very mysterious. Even Liu Laodao doesn't know them very well. They have dealt with them occasionally before. This group of antique dealers There is another name, called the Underworld Antique Dealer.

"Antique dealers in the underworld, these people have no problem with their brains, why do they choose such a wicked name?"

After I listened to it, I couldn’t help but click my tongue. The merchant group is also a very superstitious group. Most people will give themselves a nice, beautiful and even meaningful name. The underworld antique dealer is very evil.

"I don't quite understand this. Some people say that they also deal with the dead, so they are called merchants of the underworld. Boy, please remember. If you encounter such people in the future, keep them at a respectful distance. It is best not to be with them." Mixed together, they are too evil, people who can eat this bowl of rice are not ordinary people, they themselves have nothing, but for others, tsk tsk..."

Liu Laodao said to me very seriously, this is a group of special groups, it’s okay to make friends occasionally, but absolutely don’t interact with them, otherwise they have nothing to do, but you are different, you don’t have to die anytime you are unlucky Understand.

I nodded approvingly, remember, it’s okay to do business, but to be friends, it’s okay, I can’t afford it.

A day later, Liu Laodao took me to Shanghai Magic City. Treasures such as turtle beads are hard to sell in small cities. There are not many people who know the goods, and they can't sell them at a price. It's the same, there are too many rich people, 800 million yuan is not taken seriously, that's why the turtle beads can be sold at the highest price.

Magic City is a large modern city. Liu Laodao said that he came here many years ago, but the changes are too great now, and he doesn't know where the businessmen were hiding at that time.

So we can only look for it one by one. This group of underworld merchants is too special, and they will not stand alone. They are usually hidden among ordinary antique dealers, so they must be in antique cities or some old streets. above.

We started looking for it from the antique city. There are many antique cities in Shanghai, and the place is huge. We searched for a whole day but couldn't find it. However, Liu Laodao was not in a hurry, so he walked slowly.

It's funny to say that Liu Laodao's Taoist robe has caused us a lot of little troubles. Some of them treat us as liars, and some treat us as fat sheep.

So Liu Laodao could not help but warn me that the antique business has been very deep since ancient times, and the various scams and scammers in it are quite powerful. Don't think that you are very powerful, maybe you will be targeted by some people Well, it's good to have both people and wealth, and it's not new to seek wealth and kill one's life.

In particular, don’t think that you can pick up leaks. It was normal to be able to pick up leaks 20 years ago, because people at that time had just escaped poverty and didn’t know much about them. There were also many folk treasures, but it’s different now. I have started to improve my spiritual culture, and I have time to study antiques, so good things have already been taken away. If you encounter any scenes of picking up leaks, [-]% of them are scams.

It wasn't until the next day that Liu Laodao stopped at the door of a very inconspicuous small shop and looked up at the plaque on the door.

"Great court worship, great ridicule? What kind of broken name?"

I looked at the plaque on it, it looked a bit old, but it’s nothing special in the antique city, many shops are playing like this, even the newly made plaques are worn out, making it look like a lot of history The background is the same, and this tune is played.

It's just that the name is a bit silly. Other shops are like Shemaxuan and other pavilions.

"Hehe, boy, if you speak louder, believe it or not, someone will come and deal with you later?"

"Haha, just kidding, really"

"Shut up, don't embarrass me"

Liu Laodao cursed, then walked in, and I quickly followed.

However, as soon as I stepped into the door, there was a sudden rush of wind chimes in the shop, and Chen Menghan's scream came from the soul-cultivating wood on my body, which made my face change drastically.
