Excellent security guard

"Old man, you have quite a wide range of hobbies, and you actually have research on jade tokens?"

Xie Yifan gave a wicked smile, and without even thinking about it, he took the jade plaque from his neck and put it in the hands of Mr. Fu.Fortunately, the old man's attention was completely focused on the jade tablet at this time, so his action didn't arouse Mr. Fu's suspicion.

"No, it's not right."

Mr. Fu squinted his eyes to examine the jade plaque carefully for a while, then shook his head and placed it on the table.

"Uh... is there something wrong?"

Xie Yifan was a little guilty and did not dare to meet the eyes of Mr. Fu who was looking over, so he had to pretend to be very curious and took the jade card in his hand like Mr. Fu tossed it over and over again.

To put it simply, because Xie Yifan has been with the old man for a long time, he has not only learned the old man's sophistication, but also has a lot of thoughts.Although he really wanted to find answers to what he wanted to know from Mr. Fu, he had never been a well-behaved person. With his personality, how could he carry those hard-earned jade cards with him.

But he didn't expect that Mr. Fu would be able to tell at a glance that the jade plaque he took out was one of the imitations made by Amail a few days ago.

Fortunately, the few jade tokens imitated by Amaier are very skillful, almost exactly the same as the three jade tokens that Xie Yifan hid secretly, so he is not worried that he will miss anything.

But what is the secret in the jade tablet?This is what Xie Yifan wants to know.

Mr. Fu took a slanted look at Yifan, and did not investigate the authenticity of the jade tokens. Instead, he frowned and said, "Should there be more than one jade token of this kind? Can you tell me how many pieces you have now?"

Xie Yifan was shocked, but pretended to know nothing: "What? Are you interested in this kind of rubbish?"

"Do you really think it's garbage?" Mr. Fu looked at Xie Yifan with great interest and asked.

Xie Yifan chuckled and didn't explain.

Mr. Fu smiled and said: "Looking at the long river of history, the utensils of each era have their own unique flavors, no matter in terms of shape, craftsmanship, decoration, patterns, etc., to a certain extent, they reflect the national culture and culture at that time. Folk Customs."

"Why did the old man suddenly talk about this?"

This time Xie Yifan smiled unnaturally, and even showed a little embarrassment in his eyes. He knew that with Mr. Fu's wisdom, he might have seen that he was lying.

This Nima is really in a dilemma!

But should we tell the truth?Xie Yifan didn't know.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu took out an old-colored white cloth bag from his pocket, and suddenly, while reconciling with Xie Yifan, a jade plaque that was very similar to the jade plaque that Xie Yifan took out appeared in front of Xie Yifan.

"This……!"

Xie Yifan was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of shock.

For a long time, Xie Yifan thought that there should be four pieces of these jade plaques, which should be stored in the hands of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Why does Mr. Fu also have the same jade plaque in his hand?

Seeing Xie Yifan's dumbfounded expression, Mr. Fu chuckled and said, "If my guess is right, you should be wondering why I have a jade token in my hand."

Xie Yifan chuckled, shook his head and said, "Do you want anything in your capacity? What's so strange about a jade plaque?"

Mr. Fu said, "Have you read the book "Heavenly Creation" by Song Yingxing?"

"Uh, no."

Xie Yifan was puzzled and shook his head in confusion.

Mr. Fu smiled, put the two jade plaques together, and said: "There is a saying in "Tiangong Kaiwu", which says that although good jade gathers in the capital, its skillful work is promoted in Su County."

Xie Yifan nodded, seeming to understand.

Mr. Fu didn't care whether Xie Yifan really understood or pretended to understand, and said: "Jade pendants have been popular since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They are decorated with characters such as boys, maids, and high scholars, as well as patterns of animals, flowers and birds, landscapes, etc., and some of them are also engraved with poems, auspicious words, etc., or signed by the author."

Xie Yifan curled his lips and said nothing.

Xie Yifan doesn't care about when the jade plaque came from. What he wants to know most at the moment is how the financial resources of the four major families in the south of the Yangtze River can treat this kind of jade plaque, which is made of poor materials and workmanship, as a treasure. There is no hidden secret, and he will not believe Jie Yifan if he is killed.

Mr. Fu didn't even take a look at Yifan, and said to himself: "In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the carving techniques of jade plaques mostly used the expression technique of picking the ground and Yangwen. The knife technique was rigid and powerful, with clear edges and corners, and the lines were concise, rough and random."

"What does this mean?"

Xie Yifan became a little impatient, frowned and said.

"I know you can't bear your temper."

Mr. Fu chuckled, picked up the two jade plaques on the table again, and said, "Look for yourself, one of the two jade plaques is an imitation, but the technique is so clever that even the flat patterns on the jade plaques are scratched on the ground. The sanding is not flat enough, and the details of the undulations are all right."

Xie Yifan was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up suddenly, as if he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Mr. Fu took out his own piece, slowly pushed it towards Xie Yifan, and said, "But don't you think it's strange? My jade plate doesn't have the polished features that Su Gong's jade plate should have at all."

"Uh... Maybe the craftsman thinks it's not worth spending time on this kind of worthless jade."

Xie Yifan groaned and scratched his head with a wry smile, but he slandered Emily fiercely in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu stood up suddenly, shook his head, stared at Xie Yifan and said, "Boy, why don't you understand after talking so much?"

"Ming, understand what?"

Xie Yifan already had some guesses in his mind, but he still blinked his eyes as if he didn't know anything.

"Pig brain!"

Mr. Fu snorted coldly, and said: "Although you have found someone to imitate the jade plaque, but you don't know how to adapt it. If you can enrich your knowledge, you won't even know where this jade plaque comes from. I do not understand."

Xie Yifan: "..."

Mr. Fu glanced at the door, and sighed quietly: "I don't know who imitated your jade plaque, but mine should be made by Japanese craftsmen from the way of cutting jade."

"Ah!" Xie Yifan was suddenly stunned and yelled.

Mr. Fu glared at Yifan, and said, "What are you talking about, don't you think it's not messy enough?"

"Oh!" Xie Yifan scratched his head with a mocking smile.

Mr. Fu knew that there would be no one outside the house, but he still cautiously opened the doors and windows, and said in a low voice: "As far as I know, these jade plaques should be related to a book."

"Book? What book?" Xie Yifan stared speechlessly.

Old Master Fu smiled slightly, and said, "Dongmi Proverbs!"

For a moment, Xie Yifan's face was full of astonishment.

As a practitioner of inner strength, Xie Yifan has some understanding of the maxims of Dongmi. He knows that in ancient times, most Japanese ninjas were fanatics of Dongmi. Although many ninjas did not deliberately practice Tantra, they They have been indoctrinated with esoteric thoughts since they were born, and they will be more or less affected by indulging in them unconsciously in the future.

The so-called Esoteric Buddhism is relative to the Sutra Buddhism.

He is the characteristic of Buddhism in the late period of the ancient Three Kingdoms, and is the product of the combination of Buddhism and the religion of the Three Kingdoms.In terms of genres, it can be divided into Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Tantrics representing the Three Kingdoms and the Tantrics of the Han Dynasty in the Huaxia Kingdom, Dongmi and Tibetan Tantrics that were improved and evolved from the Tantrics of the Huaxia Kingdom to the Wa Kingdom.

In the era of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, three masters of Tantric Buddhism, Shan Wuwei, Vajra Zhi, and Bukong Sanzang, came to China, and they passed on the teachings of Tantric Buddhism.At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Esoteric Buddhism brought into Tibet by the Mongols formed Tibetan Esoteric Buddhism after merging with the local Lamaism.

Until the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court thought Tantrism was too weird and ordered it to be abolished. Therefore, Miscellaneous Tantrics gradually declined in the Central Plains. However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the Dongmi Shingon sect, which was brought to Japan by Master Kukai, was widely spread.

The ridiculous thing is that because the Japanese people were born with incomplete five elements, they couldn't understand the main points of the practice of inner strength in Dongmi's proverbs at that time, and finally practiced good things into nondescript ninjutsu.

But it is very strange that the Japanese people have combined ninjutsu and tantric methods in a strange way. Through unremitting efforts, practitioners can develop their full potential, let the body communicate with the universe, reach the realm of harmony between heaven and man, and reach the ultimate body pursued by ninjas. surgery.

"Do you know what ninjutsu is?" Mr. Fu asked.

Xie Yifan smiled and said, "Ninjutsu originated from the five elements of the Han Dynasty."

Mr. Fu nodded and said, "The root of ninjutsu comes from Jiang Taigong Lu Wang during the Yin and Zhou dynasties. It was he who first proposed the concept of ninjutsu and wrote it in the famous book "Six Secret Teachings". Later, Sun Wu, Zhang Liang, Han Xin and others successively perfected ninjutsu theory. In particular, Sun Wu's "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is highly respected by the ninja class."

Xie Yifan nodded, these old men had told him all those years ago.

Mr. Fu said: "I was also very curious when I saw this jade tablet for the first time, but I didn't have time to learn about these things back then. It wasn't until I had spare time in recent years that I gradually realized that it was regarded as a jade tablet by the Japanese people. The Dongmi proverbs of the Ninja Supreme Treasure have been exiled to the south of China a hundred years ago."

Xie Yifan showed joy, as if seeing a glimmer of light in the gloom, he got up excitedly, walked back and forth in the room quickly, and said, "Old man, do you want to say that those ninjas actually came to find the book of Dongmi's Proverbs?" ?"

Mr. Fu nodded slightly at first, then shook his head and said, "I'm not sure yet."

Xie Yifan immediately had black lines all over his head.

Mr. Fu smiled and said, "At the beginning, I had the same idea as you, but as time went on, I realized that it was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xie Yifan was surprised.

Mr. Fu said: "Perhaps they came here to find the Proverbs of Dongmi, but later their ambitions became bigger and bigger, and they were not satisfied with just looking for a book."

Xie Yifan suddenly lost his voice: "Are you trying to say that they want to control the four major families in Jiangnan to achieve the goal of manipulating the economic lifeline of Jiangnan, the wealthiest in the entire Huaxia Kingdom?"

Mr. Fu nodded solemnly.
