The East River and the West River are [-] meters, and the children are one-year-old red, and the peonies do not bloom with half-moon plums, just because the peach blossoms lack four seasons.

Shen Qiuzai recited it carefully, although he was good at dissecting hexagrams, but these four hexagrams sounded a bit strange at first glance, combined with the hints conveyed by Qin Qingyu, Shen Qiu barely understood the meaning.

The presiding master of this Taishen Temple asked him to find three things, and only after finding these three things can he go to Mingyuan Taiji Hall, otherwise, going there rashly is tantamount to seeking his own death.

"Shen Qiu? I've also read the hexagrams! What do these four hexagrams have to do with the three items you're looking for? And vice versa, what does it have to do with Mr. Jiang? It seems a little blurry."

Shen Qiu didn't see the mystery for a while, the four hexagrams seemed to have nothing to do with each other when read carefully, but there seemed to be some kind of unknown relationship chain after reading it carefully.

After about a few minutes, Shen Qiu roughly figured out the meaning of these four hexagrams: "The four hexagrams have their own meanings. The first sentence in front should hint at my specific treasure hunting location, and the last three hexagrams correspond to the reminders of three objects. ? First of all, what we need to understand is what is the target of the hexagram "Dongjiangxihe [-]"?"

"No need to guess! I know! Jiubao Alley!" The old scholar blurted out after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Jiubao Alley is a relatively unpopular one among the many hutongs and alleys in Yanjing City. It is located in Dinghai District. The alley is not long. It is less than 20 meters from the end of the alley to the end of the alley. I rented it in that place when I was young. I lived there for a while, and in the early years, someone set up a stall to sell goods in that alley, and the length could only support nine stalls, so it was called Jiubao Lane, or Jiubao Street."

"The most famous of this alley is the bluestone slab mud walls on both sides. The mud walls were first built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. The east wall depicts a river, while the west wall depicts a continuous river, so this is exactly the same as The hexagrams corresponded, Dongjiang Xihe is [-] meters! Coincidentally, the height of these two walls happens to be [-] meters, so it is basically settled. This place is Jiubao Alley. You can’t find it in the whole Yanjing city. The second one comes out!"

"Boy, that's all I can help you with. As for the other three items, I'm afraid you can only solve the mystery when you get the scene!"

……

seven o 'clock.

Shen Qiu and Qin Qingyu drove to this unremarkable Jiubao Alley in Yanjing.

As the old scholar said, the two high walls of this alley are really extraordinary. The walls of the east and west walls are painted with pictures of the Yangtze River and the river respectively. Both pictures are carved with limestone in the gaps. It happens to form the most obvious contrast with the blue bricks. The Yangtze River is full of galloping horses, and the river is as quiet as a virgin. This stillness and movement also forms a visually stimulating sense for people.

Sure enough, there is a row of stalls in the alley. Strictly speaking, these stalls are not for buying and selling antiques. At most, they are buying and selling old objects. Although there are not many, this spot is particularly lively. The stall owner will arrange a small bench for each passing customer for customers to pick and choose.

Shen Qiu and Qin Qingyu first walked around the alley that was tens of meters long. Although there were very few stalls, each stall owner had a lot of items for sale, and there were piles of miscellaneous items in front of each stall. , from unpopular walnuts, snuff bottles, to bronzes from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and even Qin Shihuang's handed down jade seals and black iron swords can be found here. Three words can't be more appropriate to describe it. False, many, miscellaneous!

Shen Qiu looked around, but he really didn't see any valuable treasures. According to his visual estimation, there were not many of them with a unit price of more than five hundred. It would be difficult to find treasures here.

"found it!"

Qin Qingyu suddenly smiled knowingly. He pointed to a small old man's booth diagonally opposite and said, "Shen Qiu, I found one of them! Peonies don't bloom half-moon plums!"

Shen Qiu followed the direction of Qin Qingyu's finger, and saw a diary. This kind of diary was from the 90s of the last century, the kind with a red leather plastic cover, and some simple and bronzing patterns were generally printed on the cover. It is about the size of the palm of your hand, Shen Qiu also used this kind of diary to write a diary when he was a child.

It is worth mentioning that there are two kinds of flowers printed on the cover of the diary, the peony flower in the front and the plum blossom in the back. It can also be matched.

Opening the diary, there are pieces of diary pages that have turned yellow, corresponding to the events in February 1978, the handwriting is crooked and not outstanding, it really looks like a diary written by a high school student.

Although the diary is only the size of a palm, there are hundreds of diaries written in it, which seems to be the diary of a young man back then.

Shen Qiu casually read a few pages of the diary, the records were all small things in life, some information could be seen from the writing, this is a record of a boy's puberty, the boy came from the countryside, he was shy and inferior in heart, he didn't dare speak loudly When others talk, his personality is introverted.

On the whole, this is an extremely ordinary object, and a few pages in the middle have been destroyed.

The man who set up the stall was an old man in his 60s, who didn't ask for any price. He sold the diary for only 20 yuan.

carry on.

When he reached the third booth, Shen Qiu also stopped in his tracks. He saw an emerald red peach hanging on a jewelry booth.

What is emerald red peach, also known as red jade jewelry, the common jade is emerald green, but there are also red jadeite.

The price difference between red jadeite and green jadeite is also very different. As we all know, the price of green jadeite is calculated according to weight, while the price of grade A, grade B and grade C, while the price of red jadeite is calculated according to the number of pieces, normal You can buy a fist-sized red jadeite for 100 yuan.

To put it bluntly, red jadeite is the layer of jade surrounded by green jadeite. Although the color is pleasing, there is a huge difference in price. In short, it is the very cheap kind.

The peach-shaped pendant that Shen Qiu took a fancy to was made of red jadeite, and when placed under the sun, turbid impurities could still be seen, even among the types of red jadeite, it was of poor quality.

"Children's year-old red? Shen Qiu, are you sure it's this one?" Qin Qingyu was a little surprised, she didn't expect to find the second one so soon, and the distance between the two stalls was less than two meters.

"Qin Qingyu, don't you think you blurted it out too? The shape of this peach has a red heart on the tip of the peach. This is a custom in Datong, Shanxi when children are born. The child is one year old when he falls. Therefore, the mother’s family will buy a peach-shaped pendant in advance when the mother is pregnant. A dot on the tip of the peach is equivalent to the meaning of one year old. When the child reaches ten years old, they will also buy a peach-shaped pendant. Pendant, ten red hearts must be placed on it!"

"So there is such a meaning!" Qin Qingyu suddenly realized, and carefully identified it: "Then this red jadeite pendant is corresponding! It's just this peach heart pendant, I will go with you today What is the connection with the Tai Chi Pavilion?"

Shen Qiu shook his head and expressed his puzzlement: "This is probably God's arrangement, right? Heaven's will must not be violated, we just follow it."

"Boss, how do you sell this red jadeite pendant?"

"5w!"

Shen Qiu asked casually, if he didn't ask, he didn't know, but when he asked, he was startled.

The boss is a bald middle-aged uncle, holding a mobile phone in one hand, and shouting lazily while fighting the landlord.

I grass!

"Boss, you are so ruthless! The asking price for something with a market value of less than 500 yuan is [-] yuan! There is no way to bargain!"

"What do you know! This is a serious onyx material!"

Onyx?
