Notes on Tomb Raiders of Liu Bowen's Descendants

Chapter 9
Lu Si is considered a figure in Panjiayuan.For valuable or hard-to-appraise artifacts, if you bring them to Lu Si, they will give you a result.It's not because of his family background, he has studied exegesis, and anyone who knows Lu Si's background knows that there are two elders in his family, and if there is a second treasure, even Lu Si himself was a rebellious team leader when he was young.

In Tuxing, Cao, Guo, Lu, and Yao are the four traditional sects, and each family has unique skills.The Lu family has always been known for their boldness in the industry, claiming that there is no kiln that the Lu family dare not dig.As the saying goes, starve the timid to death and starve to death the bold.As a result, the Lu family became extremely prosperous, and once had the momentum to overwhelm the Cao family.

This Lu family came to Lu Si's generation, and there was such a genius as Lu Si, bold and careful, and extremely skilled in craftsmanship.Since the age of six, he has been fighting for money with his father and brother.The first time this child entered the tomb, he met the green-haired zongzi, but he was very talented and showed no signs of timidity. The Lu family placed high hopes on him and taught him all the skills that have been passed down. In his 20s, Lu Si became famous in this industry because he was better than blue and better than blue, and he called himself "Tiandichou".

The tone of this nickname is not insignificant, but people in the field have to admit it.It was rumored in the industry that Lu Si specialized in robbing the tombs of emperors, and the rest of the tombs were not worth looking at. Moreover, the craftsmanship was too high, even if the emperor and gods would die, they would still not be able to escape the fate of being held by him.

Or the tone was too loud and angered the sky. At the age of 25, Lu Si met a short and dry old man. The old man sneered in front of Lu Si's house: "Son, if you are really capable, come with me at night. , steal the tomb I mentioned, and I will obey you. Otherwise, the Lu family is just cheating the world and stealing their names, bragging."

Lu Si was young and energetic, he didn't care how dangerous the old man said the cemetery was, so he took the tools and followed the old man.As a result, the tomb robbery failed and suffered instead.The next day, the family members found Lu Si in front of the house. His eyes were dull, his mind was in a state of confusion, and he couldn't speak. He just waved his hands in fear, with a look of fear on his face.

Since then, the reputation of the Lu family has dropped greatly, and Lu Si's father and uncle also encountered risks in the early years and were disabled. The Lu family had no choice but to close their doors and stop doing local business.

Later, Lu Si was sent to a mental hospital for ten years, but there was still no effect.The family could only search for the mysterious old man everywhere, and finally found his trace in an uninhabited area of ​​Tibet. The old man said that Lu Si had too little knowledge, and he was frightened into such a state when he saw the bloody corpse with owl face, and treated the Lu family well The humiliation was not understood until the Lu family promised that they would never deal with Tuxing from now on. They asked the Lu family to buy 99 night owls (owls), cut them with a knife in front of Lu Si, and then washed their bodies with blood, which is strange to say After washing, Lu Si's eyes became peaceful and normal, and the whole person was slowly recovering.

From then on, the Lu family kept their promise.Someone encouraged Lu Si: "Promises are only for farts, and you should do what you have to do. How can you not let the riches and honors you keep!" Lu Si smiled and shook his head, saying that he didn't even know how to crack a bloody corpse with a small face, so he could only close his eyes. When I die, the mysterious objects in the mausoleum are stronger than the blood corpse. I am afraid that if I persist, I will end up leaving the corpse somewhere else.

This can be regarded as the Lu family's good luck, the former arrogant, and now the epiphany.Lv Si brought his family to Panjiayuan, relying on his father and uncle and his own vision to mix up the food with low income and high income.Although it is not as profitable as Tuxing, the risk is not great, and the small life is quite stable.

Now that Lu is over fifty in the fourth year, because he often sits still, his body is full of blessings, and he looks wealthy. When he meets buyers and sellers in Panjiayuan, it hinders the Lu family's good eyesight, and everyone has to respectfully shout "" Fourth Master".Ordinary objects, as long as Lu Si opens his mouth and gives an appraisal, the value will be doubled immediately.

What's more, even though he left his old business, the people in Tuxing still trust Lu Si, and they will sell artifacts from him, and purchase some needed items from him.

As soon as the store opened this morning, Lu Si found four or five people standing in front of the door. The leader was a scoundrel from the Panjiayuan area, nicknamed Sun Daya.This guy is a hob meat, and the comparison is bleeding and losing flesh all day long-who is fierce and who is fierce.So no one would provoke him easily in this area. Although Lu Si was not afraid, he was not willing to have any conflicts with him.

Sun Daya flipped his hands and took out a few items from his pocket.Lu Si's heart sank, thinking that he was trying to blackmail again with fake goods, but unexpectedly staring at the thing in Sun Daya's hand, Lu Si's heart jumped wildly.Although these objects looked simple and crude, they were just two white curved teeth, but Lu Si vaguely knew what they were.

But even if I am myself, I have only heard of it but never seen it.If this thing is real, although it is not worth a penny to ordinary people, it can be regarded as a rare plaything at best, but for a person who is interested in money and money, he is probably willing to catch up with half of his net worth. Come and change.

Lu Si beckoned Sun Daya into the house, gave him a wink, asked the waiter to serve tea, and watched Sun Daya and his gang not to move around, so as not to take the opportunity to steal something, and said with a smile: "Master Sun, wait a moment, you I haven’t seen the object before, so I’m afraid I’ll get caught, so I’ll go find someone to have a look.”

As he spoke, he hurriedly took the two objects to the back room, entered the room, closed the door behind his back, and said in a low voice, "Dad, uncle, look, what is this?"

When an old man lying on the bed saw the objects Lu Si showed, he sat up as if he had taken morphine, grabbed the two objects in his hands, his breathing became heavy, and he kept rubbing them with trembling hands.Another old man sitting in front of the window was also staring at those objects, as if he was afraid that the objects would run away with long legs if he missed them!

"Dilongya..." The frail old man said tremblingly, "It's really Dilongya!" He sighed a long time, "God played tricks on the Lu family. I didn't let me see it until we left Tuxing. This fetish." The old man sitting in front of the window did not move his eyes, and said to Lu Si: "Accept it, you have to accept it no matter what you say. No matter how much money, we will make money in the end. As long as people in the field see it After this, I’m afraid he will give you half his life if you want him!”

Lu Si thought for a while, fearing that taking it back would cause trouble, and Sun Daya took the opportunity to raise the price, so he simply kept the item, making up his mind that no matter what, if this item got into his hands, he would not spit it out again.He went straight back to the shop in front of him, and when he came in through the curtain, his face turned into an embarrassed look, "Master Sun, that item of yours is really not easy to get your hands on, and our old man is not sure what it is..." Sun Daya Hearing this, he waved his hand at Lu Si with an anxious expression on his face, "Fourth Master, to be honest, a friend asked me to sell this item. You can just give it [-] to [-], and wait for the money urgently." Use." Lu Si was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face fluctuating, obviously thinking about something.Sun Daya stared at Lu Si's face, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

In the end, Lu Si seemed to have figured something out, gritted his teeth, and asked the clerk to withdraw [-] in cash and put it on the table next to Sun Daya, "Master Sun, please, I, Lu Si, have made you my friend. Ten thousand is for me to invite you to drink tea. In the future, you can take care of it more."

Sun Daya smiled, put away the money, and acted as if you knew me, "Let's write down the feelings of Fourth Master Lu. If you have any orders, you can just talk in the future! I, Sun Daya, are in trouble." , without blinking."

Seeing Sun Daya and his party leave, Lu Sicai ordered the assistants to watch over the store, and ran towards the back of the store with a happy face.

Sun Daya left the store in a good mood.This thing was found by some bastards under him and forced into their hands.Sun Daya was afraid that it was a valuable antique, so he asked many acquaintances to look at it, but all of them said that it was not worth any money, which made him think that he had offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and that they were looking for trouble.

But the mysterious man found Sun Daya again, and ordered that the item be delivered to Lu Si's shop.Not only the money obtained belongs to Sun Daya, as long as he does it, he can also give Sun Daya a reward of 10 yuan.Thinking about Sun Daya's hob meat, he usually blackmailed three walnuts and two dates at most, and he got [-] in the account at once, of course it was disrespectful.Originally, I thought that Lu Si would not accept it easily, and thought of using some rogue methods, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and I got an extra income of [-] from Lu Si, it was like winning the lottery.

Walking along a side stall of Panjiayuan, Sun Daya saw a group of people discussing something around a stall.An old antique bug was praising his eyesight to others in a low voice, "See, that young man is just a fucking baby, what is that mirror he wants? Fake, you know, or a fake, shoddy fake, Look at that shape, that workmanship, tsk tsk. Just for this, I will give [-] yuan, which is really stupid."

Sun Daya glanced sideways and was also amused. Even Sun Daya, who was not very proficient in antiques, could tell that the Tang Dynasty hippocampus grape mirror held by the young man was a fake.

The rust color of the mirror surface is too green, which is the result of a bronze mirror made in advance and hung in a septic tank with nylon ropes to allow it to react with biogas. The engraved lines on the back of the mirror are too delicate, obviously machined It is impossible for the carving to be so round, and the lines are uniform in thickness.

The antique dealer yelled: "Everyone, get up, what kind of eyes do you have, you can't see the value of this product. It's this master who has a poisonous eye and has seen the seedlings, so you don't want to be fooled, okay? Dare you feel?" It’s good to see something, I’m jealous.”

The more he tried to hide it, the more people around him laughed.The young man standing by the booth was Liu Ji. He used his hand to block Chang Sheng, who saw the clues and wanted to teach the antique dealer a lesson, and asked him to continue to support Guo Laosi, whose face was swollen out of shape, and quickly glanced at his hand. Looking at the mirror, his eyes actually stayed on a doll made of clay placed by the dealer at the far end of the booth.

Liu Ji showed hesitation, ready to put down the mirror.Seeing that the business was going to be bad, the businessman quickly said, "You think it's expensive? A good thing is a good price, or we can discuss it later."

"The price is not expensive, I'm afraid..." Liu Ji hesitated, and gritted his teeth, "Well, I believe in myself once today, the mirror is old, but you have to build me something, so I can't make me pay too much. The businessman rolled his eyes again and again, pretending to be reluctant, looked at things and sized them up again and again, and finally picked up the doll made of pottery, "Master, this Qin Chao doll is for you. I spent a lot of money to collect it, and when the terracotta warriors and horses are placed like this, I guess the price will not be low, but if you are so straightforward, I will also be refreshed."

Liu Ji chuckled secretly, even if he decided, the businessman would definitely take this thing.Because he put the breakable clay on the side of the booth and let people come and go around him, it shows that he doesn't care about it at all, and he doesn't know this thing, so he is not afraid of being kicked to pieces.

Liu Ji turned around and asked Guo Laosi for the money to make a deal. Guo Laosi's face was twitching with pain, and he also looked puzzled.According to his vision, he didn't see the preciousness of this clay puppet.To say it is a terracotta army is pure nonsense.The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang have been excavated a long time ago, but who has the ability to bring one out of them?Besides, the Terracotta Terracotta Warriors are made completely according to the ratio of 1:1. This kind of miniature ones can only be handicrafts that cost ten yuan a set.

Seeing a group of people puzzled, Liu Ji felt secretly relieved, this mirror is a fake, anyone with a little knowledge of antiques can tell, but his purpose is to build this doll.This puppet is not only something from Qin Chao.Speaking of value, it is much more valuable than the famous terracotta warriors.

Therefore, according to the old legend, Zhou destroyed Shang and pacified the world.Later, Zhou Gongdan assisted the emperor, preached etiquette and literature to fix the hearts of the world, set up altars in the wild, and from then on the princes of the world returned to their hearts.Chinese etiquette civilization has flourished since then.In the Spring and Autumn Period, someone imitated the Altar of the Son of Heaven and made a clay model called Piyong, using the images of the sons of heaven and his ministers as the key to store many anecdotes from the Zhou, Spring and Autumn, and Warring States periods.

After the Qin Dynasty burned books and buried Confucianism, the civilization of the world was destroyed in ten cases, but the Chinese civilization never ceased. Among them, there were many legendary things that were burned, which can be found in Biyong.

This puppet is one of Piyong's puppet, even if it is not worth Piyong's value, the age and artistic value of this puppet are priceless.

Liu Ji also saw the record about Piyong in Liu Bowen's notes, saying that Piyong was in the hands of an ancient man in the early Ming Dynasty, but it was a pity that he could not see the whole picture by chance.

This is also a regret in Liu Ji's heart. He believes that since the ancestors concluded that Piyong is in the hands of one person and lacks a doll, Liu Ji thought that the doll he got now is the last key. Meet those mysterious and lost unique skills.

Handing over the cash is equivalent to dropping the hammer at the auction, and the onlookers dispersed in all directions.Sun Daya benefited from Lu Si, and he was in a good mood. He felt that Liu Ji was not worthy of being duped, and suddenly became a bodhisattva, leaned over and said to Liu Ji: "Brother, considering your young age, you probably don't know much about this industry. If you still want to buy things, you might as well go to the Lu family ahead. The Lu family’s things are a bit more expensive, but they are genuine, so you won’t be fooled all the time.”

"The Lu family?" Guo Laosi asked hurriedly, "Is the boss called Lu Si?" Sun Daya nodded and said, "I didn't expect that there is a long-standing expert here, how could you see your friend eat a sap? "

After saying this clearly, the peddler immediately changed his face, but Sun Daya had thick arms and big fists, so he could only stare at Sun Daya, wishing he could knock him to the ground with a punch.However, Guo Laosi and Liu Ji didn't seem to think that they were deceived here just now. Guo Laosi asked Sun Daya: "Sir, can you take us there? I won't let you run in vain." Sheng took out 1 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Sun Daya's hands.

Sending Sun Daya away again, Lu Si could no longer hold his nerve.He entered the house, anxiously took Guo Laosi's hand and shouted: "Fourth brother, why did you become like this?" , "I didn't even give someone's way, so I was condemned like this."

"Condemnation" is a jargon. Tomb robbers respect ghosts and gods most. They believe that if they touch something they shouldn't touch, they will be punished by heaven. Of course Lu Si understood it, and two lines of tears flowed down.

"Fourth brother, why are you so confused. After all these years, your foundation is stronger than mine, so it's okay to quit this life. I have persuaded you a long time ago, but you just don't listen." Liu Ji rolled his eyes beside him , the plum green flower bed in Guo Lao Si's hands alone is enough for the family to be rich for several lifetimes.This action of his caused Chang Sheng to laugh foolishly.

"Your apprentice?" Lu Si noticed Liu Ji and Chang Sheng at this moment, looked around at their hands, and shook his head. The joints of the two people's tiger's mouths have no calluses, unlike those who have been doing earthwork for many years figure.

Guo Laosi shook his head, sighed and said: "My apprentice? I'm almost like someone else's apprentice!" He pointed at Liu Ji, "You don't look young on this kid, but he's from that sect..." He said, He made a counting gesture with his hand.

Lu Si turned to look at Liu Ji with a different gaze, looking up and down, full of joy like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

Liu Ji held back his airs and nodded, "Boss Lu, today is not the time to reminisce about the old days. Mr. Guo came to Panjiayuan today to see if he could ask for a golden talisman to see if he could heal this injury. Unexpectedly, I met you today." The old Mo Jin Talisman, this thing is not common at all, it originated from Cao Cao's Mo Jin Xiaowei Camp during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was originally a private status symbol.Later, Mojinying came out with a character, and changed the Mojin Talisman made of pangolin scales from the Mojin Talisman that was smelted with wrong gold.
