Ghost Blowing Lamp II

Chapter 92 Ancient Jade in the Sea

Uncle Ming complained: "Is there any mistake? Your uncle and these three friends and I have never seen any elixir? These rotten green heads are not in our eyes at all. Do you have anything decent? No If not, don't waste our time."

Wu Wu said in embarrassment: "There are really good things on the island of Coral Temple, but you have to be lucky. It's too unfortunate for you to come. A few days ago, a group of French found a Ming Dynasty treasure ship in the trench, which was very well preserved. , the green heads inside are as good as new ones. When the people behind hear the news and rush away, there is only a ship frame left on the treasure ship. I still have the last box here, which is the green heads I pressed at the bottom of the box. I will only accept it when I meet a big expert. Take it out, a few brothers will pay attention..."

As he spoke, Wu Wu limped and dragged out another dilapidated wooden box, which smelled like fish. When the wooden cover was lifted, there were several layers of dirty soft cloth inside. After the layers were peeled off, Da Jinya and I casually looked into the wooden box, but it didn’t matter when we looked at it, it felt like our bodies were suddenly electrocuted, and our eyes seemed to be firmly attracted by these green hairs. I stopped, I couldn’t take my eyes off anymore, except for Fatty, Uncle Ming, Da Jinya, I and I all stood up abruptly, and couldn’t wait to ask Na Biewu: "Where did you get these green heads?" here?"

The last wooden box that "Bao Wu" took out was full of strange shapes of ancient jade, some of which were shaped like porcelain pieces, some of which were like dry bones, and some of which were shaped like animal horns and teeth. The color of the ancient jade is even more mottled and bizarre. Because it is a green-headed product in the sea, it is eroded by the natural environment in the sea, so it is mostly dark gray, but some parts are old and especially old, or the color is like ginger, or The color is like rotten sauce, and there are bright spots like red dates.

Big gold teeth are the most refined jade. Seeing this box of green heads, the gold teeth in his mouth and his eyes immediately shone. Among the thousand-year-old jades that come out of the sea, there is often no one that is perfect. The ancients said that there are three taboos in Tibetan jade Avoid oil, dirt, and fishy smell. Greasy things will block the fine pores of jade, making the jade not crystal clear and moist, and losing the blue light of chalcedony. The brine and other ingredients contained in it, the filthy things blocked the door of the jade body, so most of these jades were damaged.

Uncle Ming is also a person who knows the goods, but his knowledge is based on the authenticity and shape of the utensils. Seeing that these green-headed jade wares are all rare and simple in shape, and they are expected to be quite old, he discussed with Da Jinya in a low voice. How valuable can green goods be?
Da Jinya sucked his teeth and said: "These green heads may have been on the bottom of the sea for thousands of years. They are definitely not from shipwrecks on the sea route. Some are semi-exposed, some are not exposed, and some are slightly exposed. They are preserved. The degree is quite different, but looking at the shapes and structures, they are all ancient relics from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. It is really puzzling to see these real things on this isolated island in the sea. You can see that there are glass-like lights in some places, which are really various, but the ancient jade is In this way, the older it gets, the weirder it gets. How can the worldly people understand the mystery? As far as I can see, these things are valuable if they say they are valuable, and they are not valuable if they are not valuable.

Big Gold Tooth, Fatty, and Uncle Ming were muttering about how to bargain with "Bao Wu", but I looked at the jade in the box for a long time, and I saw countless rare treasures in the "Tomb of Xianwang" in Yunnan. Naturally, there are many jade wares from the Qin and Han Dynasties, but this box of blue-headed goods that came out of the sea surprised me. They are all ancient jades from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and their shapes are extremely rare, especially among them is a woman made of jade. Head portrait, lifelike eyebrows, wearing a fishbone crown, slender neck, densely covered with scales, because there is only a head portrait, and the neck is missing, so it is impossible to tell whether it was originally a human head and a snake body, or other strange shapes. The jade head is something we have never seen before in our life, and we have never even heard of such a thing.

It is easy to distinguish the authenticity of these weird ancient jade wares. Since the Song Dynasty, some people have used chicken blood retting jade to fake corpse blood soaking, and some have been fried in oil and soaked in a latrine. Then the authenticity can be distinguished, and after a little identification, we know that the green heads in the hands of "Bai Wu" are indeed ancient relics. Could it be that this female jade head is the ancient relic of the Kingdom of Hate Heaven mentioned by Professor Chen?It seems that the coral spiral sea area is really not simple, I immediately asked the tavern owner "Bai Wu", where did these green heads come from?
Bian Wu said: "Brothers, you are all people who know how to trade in the market, and I dare not deceive you. Let me tell you the truth. A few months ago, there was a tsunami, and there was a corpse of a giant beast floating out of the sea. It died after the sea receded. At the beach, due to the hot weather, it rotted quickly, and no one could tell what kind of sea beast it was, but judging by the size of the humpback whale, it was probably a monster in the deep sea, which is rare. There is a wreck of a small boat in the belly of the big sea beast, and these green heads are in the ship's cabin, so does it smell a bit stinky to you? You can't get rid of it by any means. I think there may be some unlucky ghosts with green heads I got caught in a shipwreck and got sucked into the bottom of the sea, let that thing swallow it, and then I took the box from the fishermen."

Breaker thinks that rare goods can be lived in, so he naturally raises the price very high. There are indeed a lot of ancient monuments in the coral forest on the seabed, but there are not many to be found. Don’t look at the damage of the jade, and the color is not good after soaking in the seabed for a long time, but The year is there, this kind of green head can only be seen once in a few decades, and there are many people who want to buy it.

I am dubious about the words of "Bao Wu". Who knows whether he got the green head from the belly of the sea monster, or the black goods that the pirates robbed to sell the stolen goods, but these are not important, the key is that we have taken a fancy to this In order to approve the goods, if you can't find the King Qin's bone mirror, pick a few ancient jades from the Kingdom of Hate the Heaven and give them to Professor Chen, which can be regarded as an explanation.

At this time, Da Jinya and the others had also finished their discussions in private. I suggested that Da Jinya go to bargain with "Bao Wu", and Da Jinya immediately grinned at "Bao Wu": "I said Master Wu, don't look at you." They specialize in picking up green heads, but you don’t necessarily know the way of jade, to be honest, your green heads are really hot.”

Whether it is trading green heads or trading bright weapons, if buyers and sellers are dealing with each other, it is very different from the usual one buying and one selling. The antique industry is an industry that shows its vision, courage and financial resources. It is impossible without sufficient knowledge. The buyer and the seller negotiate the price without arguing about the price, but to convince people with reasoning. If you say that your things are valuable or not, then you It is necessary to say something convincing, so antiques are also called Wenwan, and they should not be as rough and rough as buying and selling animals. After the antiques business is completed, buyers and sellers can gain more knowledge, and the peers The focus of inter-personal transactions is to improve one's own level. In this case, the price is secondary, because some knowledge cannot be bought with money.
